Q: How does the body become resistant to insulin? A: When you eat, food is broken down into glucose to be used for energy. Insulin, a hormone produced in thepancreas, tempers the amount of sugar in thebloodstreamby helping glucose get into the muscle, fat and/orliver cells. "We think...
Given the inexactitude of language, misunderstandings can frequently arise between people from different cultures when they exchange information. Idioms often become lost in translation.

The tissues of people with type 2 diabetes have become resistant to insulin(胰岛素)so they lose the ability to control sugar levels in their blood. The condition can damage the heart, eyes, kidneys(肾脏) and nerves and contribute to 5% of all deaths, according to the World Healthy Organizati...
Type 1 is when the body doesn't produce insulin and requires daily injections. Type 2 is when the body becomes insulin-resistant or doesn't produce enough insulin. Diabetes and eyes: how diabetes can affect your eyes Diabetes disrupts the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. Over ...
Obesity-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, have reached epidemic proportions in industrialized nations, and dietary interventions for their prevention are therefore important. Resistant starches (RS) improve insulin s
PPARs heterodimerize withRXR, and bind to PPAR responsive element (PPRE) in the regulatory region of target genes that function in diverse biological processes, such as lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, cell growth and differentiation, and immune response. They are also the targets of drugs ...
Type 2 diabetes occurs when your cells become resistant to insulin or when your pancreas can’t make enough insulin to keep up with demand. If you have prediabetes, your blood sugar is higher than normal but not at diabetes level. You probably already have some insulin resistance ...
They can be resistant to acidic hydrolysis, a property depending on the configuration of anomeric carbons (C-1 or C-2), that can render the glycosidic bonds unsusceptible to degradation in the human gastrointestinal tract. In this manner, nondigestible oligosaccharides can act as probiotic agents,...
