Insulin Resistance News and Research

RSS

Insulin Resistance is a condition in which the body does not respond to insulin properly. This is most common in Type II diabetes or associated with obesity, ketoacidosis, infection, and certain rare conditions. Diminished effectiveness of insulin in lowering blood glucose levels requiring 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent hyperglycemia or ketosis.

Insulin resistance is associated with stroke, T2D study finds

A study of more than 100,000 people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), held online this year, found that insulin resistance is associated with stroke.

Ozone exposure linked to the development of Type 2 diabetes

Older Californians who live in communities with poor air quality, even those who engage - as recommended - in physical activities but do so outdoors, have a higher risk of Type 2 diabetes, a complex and chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin resistance and cell dysfunction.

COVID-19 lockdown linked to improved glycemic control in type 1 diabetes

A new study looks at changes in the glycemic control in patients with diabetes during the lockdowns implemented to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Standing is associated with better insulin sensitivity and metabolic health

Insulin is a key hormone in energy metabolism and blood sugar regulation. Normal insulin function in the body may be disturbed by e.g. overweight, leading to decreased insulin sensitivity and increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Losing weight and treating excess fat levels may help prevent lung disease in 9/11 firefighters

Losing weight and treating excess levels of fat in the blood may help prevent lung disease in firefighters who were exposed to dangerous levels of fine particles from fire, smoke, and toxic chemicals on September 11, 2001, a new study shows.

Migraine-inducing peptides may protect against diabetes by influencing insulin production

People who get migraines are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes, while some people who develop diabetes become less prone to migraines.

Migraines may hold the key to new treatment for diabetes

The mechanistic association between migraines and type 2 diabetes reveals a new approach to treat diabetes.

Obstructive sleep apnea may affect heart health and increase blood pressure in children

Obstructive sleep apnea, a form of sleep-disordered breathing, is common in children and adolescents and may be associated with elevated blood pressure and changes in heart structure.

Age and sex affect the outcomes of time-restricted eating

Time-restricted eating (TRE), a dietary regimen that restricts eating to specific hours, has garnered increased attention in weight-loss circles.

Small protein prevents immune system from destroying pancreatic cells in type 1 diabetes-prone mice

A new study has shown that treating type 1 diabetes-prone mice with the small protein MOTS-c prevented the immune system from destroying insulin-producing pancreatic cells, effectively preventing the onset of the autoimmune disease.

Study finds novel approach to attenuate mitochondrial dysfunction that drives diet-induced obesity

A team of University of California, Irvine, scientists have discovered a novel pharmacological approach to attenuate the mitochondrial dysfunction that drives diet-induced obesity.

Insulin resistance could be due to changes in specific subtype of fat cells, study suggests

It is well known that fat cells can influence our sensitivity to insulin. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered that there are three different subtypes of mature fat cells in white adipose tissue and that it is only one of these, called AdipoPLIN, that responds to insulin.

Study aims to ascertain body mass index cutoffs for type 2 diabetes in Xinjiang population

Oncotarget published "Appropriate body mass index cutoffs for type 2 diabetes in Xinjiang population: defining the influence of liver aminotransferase" which reported that these authors retrospective cohort study, T2DM was diagnosed when FBS ≥ 7.0 mmol/L, BMI of participants with baseline fasting < 7.0 mmol/L was divided by percentiles and by aminotransferanse .

Research group identifies 15 novel biomarkers linked to late-onset dementias

A study by an international research group identified 15 novel biomarkers that are linked to late-onset dementias. These biomarkers are proteins, which predict cognitive decline and subsequent increased risk of dementia already 20 years before the disease onset.
