The acute effects of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia on plasma leptin levels were determined in 42 highly trained women athletes (18- 69 yr) and 14 sedentary control women (18-50 yr, body mass index < 25 kg/m2), using the glucose clamp technique. The relationships of body composition, physical fitness, age, and plasma leptin levels were examined in all participants. In addition, the effect of weight loss and aerobic exercise and plasma leptin levels were examined in 4 Newly diagnosed untreated noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients. The time course of plasma leptin levels changed little from basal during hyperglycemic (approximately 10 mmol/L) or hyperinsulinemic- euglycemic (400-3000 pmol/L) clamp studies in either athletes, controls, or noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients. A strong correlation between plasma leptin levels and fasting insulin was present (r = 0.60, P < 0.001). Plasma leptin and percent fat were higher in controls than athletes (12.6 vs. 4.0 ng/mL and 33.2 vs. 20.8%; both P < 0.001). The relationships between percent fat (dual- energy x-ray absorptiometry) or intraabdominal adipose tissue (computed tomography) and leptin for the entire group were highly significant (r = 0.70, r = 0.52; P < 0.001). When percent fat was controlled, the relationship between fasting insulin and leptin remained (P < 0.002). There was not a significant association between age and plasma leptin levels in a univariate analysis in this population. However, after adjustment for percent fat, a significant inverse relationship between age and leptin appeared (P < 0.05). The weight loss and aerobic exercise program resulted in an average 6 +/- 0.8 kg wt loss. Leptin levels decreased > 28% in each patient (P < 0.01). In conclusion, neither acute hyperglycemia or hyperinsulinemia affects plasma leptin levels. Percent fat is the strongest predictor of leptin levels, even in lean, highly trained women athletes.
