Focuses on a study which suggests that insulin resistance may be nearly as potent a risk factor for obstructive artery diseases as smoking or high blood pressure. The number of people estimated to inherit a lax response to insulin in the United States; Details of the study, published in the ...
In addition, model A included insulin resistance evaluated by HOMA-R and model B included fasting insulin (FIRI). In model A, both Free T and HOMA-R were independent predictors of total-C (TC)/high-density lipoprotein-C (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C)/HDL-C. The BMI ...
Shen: The glycemic index is the rate at which carbohydrates in certain foods cause blood sugar to rise. When we eat a high glycemic index diet, our blood sugar will rise rapidly, and our insulin will also rise relatively quickly. I...
Accumulation of adverse life-habits contributed to the clustering of an atherogenic lipid profile and high blood pressure. In males, those with 4 selected life-habits present, namely obesity, smoking, inactivity and the use of butter, had 5.5 times greater risk (95% confidence interval 1.4-20.7...
a我的车今天坏了 My vehicle was bad today[translate] aInsulin is used in the treatment of diabetes, which is marked by a rise in blood sugar as a result of a short supply of insulin in the body. 胰岛素用于糖尿病的治疗,由上升在血糖在身体指示由于胰岛素供应不足。[translate]...

Chronic low-grade inflammation may be involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. We examined whether a high white blood cell count (WBC), a marker of inflammation, predicts a worsening of insulin action, insulin secretory function, and the development of type 2 diabe...
Not much remains of this theory except for the fact that liver glucokinase, contrary to other hexokinases, has a high enough Km for the rate of the reaction it catalyzes to be influenced almost linearly by concentration changes in the range of the normal blood glucose level. Theorizing apart,...
Interaction between the Asn291Ser variant of the LPL gene and insulin resistance on dyslipidaemia in high risk individuals for Type 2 diabetes mellitus Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a major regulator of triglyceride clearance. A genetic variant of the LPL gene on chromosome 8p22, Asn291Ser, has...
Insulin (Figure 1.5) is a pancreatic polypeptide hormone secreted continuously by β cells in a glucose-dependent manner. It is also secreted in response to oral carbohydrate ingestion, including a high first-phase insulin release that arrests hepatic glucose production followed by a slower second-...
