European lipodystrophy registry: background and structure

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2020
Background Lipodystrophy syndromes comprise a group of extremely rare and heterogeneous diseases characterized by a selective loss of adipose tissue in the absence of nutritional deprivation or catabolic state. Because of the rarity of each lipodystrophy

Role of Myotonic Dystrophy Protein Kinase [DMPK] in Glucose Homeostasis and Muscle Insulin Action [PDF]

, 2007
Myotonic dystrophy 1 (DM1) is caused by a CTG expansion in the 3′-unstranslated region of the DMPK gene, which encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase. One of the common clinical features of DM1 patients is insulin resistance, which has been associated

The effects of two-week program of individually measured physical activity on insulin resistance in obese non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2003
It is well known that under the influence of regular, individually measured aerobic physical activity, it is possible to raise the biological efficiency of insulin by several mechanisms: by increasing the number of insulin receptors, their sensitivity ...

Improvement in Glycemic and Lipid Profiles in Type 2 Diabetics with a 90-Day Ketogenic Diet

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2019
Because low-carbohydrate diets are effective strategies to improve insulin resistance, the hallmark of type 2 diabetes, the purpose of reporting these clinical cases was to reveal the meaningful changes observed in 90 days of low-carbohydrate (LC ...
