PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 60 minutes

Population: Baseline Characteristics were collected according to the clinical diagnosis of the patients and not according to randomization. Participants were grouped at Baseline and are presented here irrespective of randomization because the primary intention was to compare the different types of patients regardless of interventions received.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: every 5 minutes for 20 minutes

Population: Baseline Characteristics were collected according to the clinical diagnosis of the patients and not according to randomization. Participants were grouped at Baseline and are presented here irrespective of randomization because the primary intention was to compare the different types of patients regardless of interventions received.

A hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp was performed prior to and during FDG-PET imaging to measure insulin sensitivity and to standardize metabolic conditions. Subjects were required to fast for 8 hours prior to the study. Patients were given a primed insulin infusion of 2 mU/kg/min. Serum glucose measurements were made at five-minute intervals from an arterialized venous sample achieved by placing the hand in a warming box at 50°C. Blood glucose levels are checked every 5 minutes and 20% dextrose infusion is adjusted to maintain a serum glucose level of approximately 80 mg/dL. Subjects were considered to have achieved steady state when the dextrose infusion rate required to maintain a serum glucose level of 80 mg/dL varied by no greater than 5%. To compute the steady-state glucose disposal rate, we averaged the glucose infusion rates over the last 20 minutes of the clamp and applied a "space correction" to account for small changes in serum glucose levels over that time period.
