Does Fasting Insulin Measure Insulin Resistance Equally Well In Men And Women? Results From The Miami Community Health StudyA major aim of the Women's Health Initiative is to delineate the major risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) among women. Diabetes mellitus is a strong predictor of...
I still believe that nutritional and lifestyle measures are key to long-term success. As such, intermittent fasting is an exciting approach that, if used sensibly, is likely to reduce body weight and improve metabolic health. Animal studies have even suggested...
Fasting Does Not Impaird Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Uptake But Alters Intracellular Glucose Metabolism in Conscious Rats Effects of 24-h and 48-h fasting on maximal insulin-stimulated whole-body and muscle glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, and glycolysis were studied in con...

The orexigenic hormone ghrelin, a potential antagonist of the insulin system, ensures sufficient serum glucose in times of fasting. In the race for new therapeutics for diabetes, one focus of study has been antagonizing the ghrelin system in order to improve glucose tolerance. We provide evidence ...
Chronic TNF-α Neutralization Does Not Improve Insulin Resistance or Endothelial Function in "Healthy" Men with Metabolic Syndrome Thomas C Wascher,1,4* Jan HN Lindeman,3* Harald Sourij,1,2 Teake Kooistra,5 Giovanni Pacini,6 and Michael Roden4,7 1Metabolism and Vascular Biology Research Group...
More recently, short-term LEA (15 kcal kg−1 FFM day−1) decreased fasting levels of insulin and leptin in eumenorrheic female individuals when compared with adequate EA [71]. Similarly, a short-term diet or exercise-induced LEA reduced fasting levels of IGF-1, leptin, and T3 [107]...
Because of a general consensus that HDL protects against atherosclerosis, what we shall term the HDL hypothesis, strategies have been developed to raise plasma HDL levels or to improve HDL function. However, it is increasingly questioned whether such interventions will indeed reduce the risk of ...
Following an intermittent fasting diet has been shown to improve various different markers of inflammation — such as leptin, adiponectin and c-reactive protein — per a March 2019 study in Nutrients. Andchronic inflammationis linked to many chronic, even debilitating diseases. ...
Fasting (midpoint and endpoint) and postprandial blood at the endpoint following a test meal (3.54 MJ, 14 g protein, 85 g carbohydrate and 50 g fat as PO) were collected for the measurement of C-peptide, insulin, glucose, plasma glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like ...
The insulin response to an oral glucose tolerance test was a significant predictor of fasting plasma IGFBP-1 concentrations at baseline and after exercise training (P = .02). In response to the high-fat meal at baseline, plasma IGFBP-1 concentrations decreased by 58% (P < .001); a 61% ...
