Associations of skeletal muscle mass and strength with arterial stiffness in type 2 diabetes
Lower skeletal muscle mass and lower handgrip strength were associated with higher arterial stiffness in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Assessment of both parameters may provide complementary information regarding vascular risk. ABSTRACT Sarcopenia is prevalent in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may contribute to increased ...

In 1,468 patients with type 2 diabetes, central obesity (WHtR >0.5) neutralizes the protective effects of higher BMI on muscle strength. Concurrently, visceral adiposity and CKD impose an additive threat, maximizing low handgrip strength risk (aOR = 1.74). Combining WHtR and renal tracking optimizes clinical sarcopenia screening.

Among participants aged 40–75 years, sarcopenic obesity was observed in 4.9% of those with T2D and 0.5% of non‐D individuals. Sarcopenic obesity is more prevalent in individuals with T2D and is associated with impaired physical QOL, reduced walking ability, and increased falls.

High glucose upregulates USP30 in HUVECs, which deubiquitinates and stabilizes TRAF6. Stabilized TRAF6 suppresses GPX4 and SLC7A11, increases ROS/MDA/lipid peroxidation, and activates ferroptosis and apoptosis, leading to impaired angiogenesis and delayed wound healing.

ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction To demonstrate noninferiority of continued sodium zirconium cyclosilicate therapy versus a potassium‐restricted diet in achieving normokalemia at Visit 7 (Days 28–42) in individuals with type 2 diabetes and hyperkalemia, using a noninferiority margin of −10 percentage points (one‐sided α = 0.025).
