Joint association of weight-adjusted-waist index and physical activity with insulin resistance in adolescents: a cross-sectional study

BMC Endocrine Disorders
Background The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) is a recently developed obesity metric, and the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical activity (PA) and WWI and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-

INSULIN RESISTANCE REDUCTION AFTER SUSTAINED VIROLOGICAL RESPONSE WITH DIRECT ACTING ANTIVIRAL:NOT EVERY POPULATION IMPROVES

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a serious public health problem, that affects approximately 170 million people worldwide. Chronic HCV infection is associated with hepatic insulin resistance and an increased risk of diabetes HCV-infected

HOMA-IR in acromegaly: a systematic review and meta-analysis

, 2021
Purpose This review is aimed at examining whether the Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) is higher in Caucasian, adult, treatment-naive patients with acromegaly (ACRO) than in the reference population independently of diabetes presence and to evaluate the impact of treatment [surgery and somatostatin analogues (SSAs)] on its ...

Microplastics and the Endocrine–Metabolic Interface: Novel Diagnostic Tools Targeting Thyroid–Adipose Axis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as major environmental contaminants that can affect organisms directly and act as carriers of particles and chemical additives, thereby aggravating endocrine networks that coordinate metabolic homeostasis.

The effect of measurement uncertainty for HOMA-IR in assessment of insulin resistance

Medicine Science, 2019
In this study, it is aimed to estimate not just the uncertainty measurement for the parameters of glucose and insulin having role when calculating HOMA-IR, but also true positiveness and negativeness in terms of cut-off values.

What Happens After Menopause (WHAM)? A Progress Report of a Prospective Controlled Study of Women After Pre‐Menopausal Risk‐Reducing Bilateral Salpingo‐Oophorectomy

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surgical menopause, the removal of both ovaries prior to natural menopause, may impact short‐and long‐term physical and emotional health. An increasingly common cause of surgical menopause is risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) in those at high inherited risk of ovarian cancer.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Symptoms and the Risk of Cardiometabolic Disease: Current Evidence and Future Directions

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The transition through menopause is accompanied by a series of adverse metabolic changes which are associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic disease, a major cause of mortality in women after midlife. Whilst the indication for menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the control of menopausal symptoms ...
