The effects of serum insulin concentration, serum glucose concentration, and of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus on human jejunal glucose, Na, and H2O absorption were assessed. Triple-lumen perfusion studies were carried out in 20 nondiabetic and 9 insulin-requiring diabetic male volunteers. In seven normal subjects, sequential elevation of serum insulin concentrations from 20 muU/ml to 50 and 100 muU/ml for 2 h each, with maintenance of constant serum glucose levels, failed to significantly alter glucose, Na, and H2O absorption. Absorption of glucose, Na, and H2O was similar when the serum glucose concentration was maintained at 125 and at 250 mg/100 ml. Glucose absorption results during 26 perfusion studies in 20 control subjects were compared with results obtained during 20 perfusion studies in 9 diabetic subjects. Glucose concentrations in isotonic perfusates were 25, 40, or 75 mM. Na and H2O absorption rates were similar in both groups. Regression lines relating glucose load or geometric mean study segment glucose concentration to glucose absorption were also comparable. These results indicate that insulin-requiring diabetics absorb glucose, Na, and H2O normally.
