to determine the effects of weight loss on insulin action in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus ( niddm ) and in their isolated adipocytes , we studied nine weight-stabilized pima indians [ 7 females and 2 males ; age 39 +/- 3 yr ; wt 99.9 +/- 8.2 kg ; body fat 39 +/- 2 % ( means +/- se ) ] before and after a 6.7 +/- 1.3-kg weight loss and decrease in fasting plasma glucose from 250 +/- 11 to 148 +/- 15 mg/dl .
