ABSTRACT
This study was designed to compare insuslin release during the intravenous glucose tolerance test (GTT) in normal blacks and whites. The study included 14 normal blacks (9 males and 5 females) and 15 normal whites (10 males and 5 females). The index of first phase insulin release (sum of 1 + 3 min insulin levels and total area under the curve for the first 10 min of the GTT) was significantly higher in blacks. The difference is discussed in terms of genetic and acquired trats
