Ethnic differences in beta cell function occur independently of insulin sensitivity and pancreatic fat in black and white men by Stephanie A Amiel, Riccardo C Bonadonna, Louise M Goff, Meera Ladwa, Oluwatoyosi Bello, Olah Hakim, Fariba Shojaee-Moradie, Maria Linda Boselli, Geoff Charles-Edwards, Janet Peacock, A Margot Umpleby

“…Therefore, we aimed to compare postprandial insulin secretion and the relationships between insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity and pancreatic fat in men of black West African (BA) and white European (WE) ancestry.Research design and methods A cross-sectional, observational study in which 23 WE and 23 BA men with normal glucose tolerance, matched for body mass index, underwent a mixed meal tolerance test with C peptide modeling to measure beta cell insulin secretion, an MRI to quantify intrapancreatic lipid (IPL), and a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp to measure whole-body insulin sensitivity.Results Postprandial insulin secretion was lower in BA versus WE men following adjustment for insulin sensitivity (estimated marginal means, BA vs WE: 40.5 (95% CI 31.8 to 49.2) × 103 vs 56.4 (95% CI 48.9 to 63.8) × 103 pmol/m2 body surface area × 180 min, p=0.008). …”
