Abstract Objective: To explore a possible association between serum concentration of leptin, insulin sensitivity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Design: Forty first-degree relatives of NIDDM patients and 35 control subjects matched for age, gender and body mass index underwent a hyperinsulinaemic (insulin infusion rate 0·6 mU/kg per min) euglycaemic clamp combined with indirect calorimetry. Serum leptin was measured in fasting blood samples obtained before the clamp. Results: All subjects had a normal oral glucose tolerance test. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (M) was decreased in the relatives compared with the control subjects (4·58 ± 0·27 versus 606 ± 0·25 mg/kg per min, P < 0·001). Conversely, serum leptin was increased in the relatives (9·6·/÷ 1·1 versus 6·1·/÷ 1·2 ng/ml (geometric mean·/÷ antilog s.e.m.). P < 0·05). A positive correlation was observed between circulating levels of leptin and percentage body fat (P < 0·001) and inverse correlations were found between leptin, M (P < 0·01), maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 max) (P < 0·01), and energy expenditure (P ≤ 0·01) in both groups. In multiple linear regression analysis, percentage body fat, gender and M significantly determined the level of leptin (r2 = 0·71, P < 0·001) whereas family history of NIDDM and VO2 max did not. Conclusion: Serum leptin is increased in insulin-resistant offspring of NIDDM patients. The association between leptin, anthropometric measures and insulin sensitivity is, however, comparable with that of a control group. The increased concentrations of serum leptin in the relatives appear to be associated with the insulin resistance, but not with a family history of NIDDM.
