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.

Cracking the obesity code: The protein leverage hypothesis

The research paper presents an integrative approach to understanding obesity, focusing on the protein leverage hypothesis (PLH) to examine how protein intake affects energy imbalance. It combines insights from nutritional ecology, ecological sciences, and nutritional geometry, suggesting that protein deficiency and amino acid imbalances could drive increased food intake and contribute to obesity.
