Fat oxidation, fitness and skeletal muscle expression of oxidative/lipid metabolism genes in South Asians: implications for insulin resistance? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
<p><b>Background:</b> South Asians are more insulin resistant than Europeans, which cannot be fully explained by differences in adiposity. We investigated whether differences in oxidative capacity and capacity for fatty acid utilisation

Post-operative insulin resistance

open access: yesСахарный диабет, 2017
Post-operative insulin resistance (IR) is a recognised marker of surgical stress. However, the reasons underlying post-operative IR and its clinical value are still unclear.

Mifepristone reduces insulin resistance in patient volunteers with adrenal incidentalomas that secrete low levels of cortisol : a pilot study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Incidental adrenal masses are commonly detected during imaging for other pathologies. 10% of the elderly population has an ‘adrenal incidentaloma’, up to 20% of these show low-grade autonomous cortisol secretion and 60% of patients with ...

Aldosterone status associates with insulin resistance in patients with heart failure-data from the ALOFT study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
<b>Background</b>: Aldosterone plays a key role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. In around 50% of such patients, aldosterone 'escapes' from inhibition by drugs that interrupt the renin-angiotensin axis; such patients have a worse ...

Insulin resistance in cardiovascular disease, uremia, and peritoneal dialysis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Diabetic nephropathy is highly correlated with the occurrence of other complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus; for example, hypertension with cardiovascular disease (CVD) being the most frequent cause of death in ...

Insulin Signaling and Insulin Resistance [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Medicine, 2013
Insulin resistance or its sequelae may be the common etiology of maladies associated with metabolic syndrome (eg, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure). It is thus important to understand those factors that affect insulin sensitivity.

Insulin Resistance and Hypertension [PDF]

open access: yesHypertension, 2004
The association between insulin resistance and insulinemia and hypertension is controversial. We examined the relation between insulin resistance and hypertension in 564 non-Hispanic whites (NHW), 505 Hispanics (H), and 413 African Americans (AA) who participated in the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS).

Insulin resistance in Chileans of European and indigenous descent: evidence for an ethnicity x environment interaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
<p><b>Background:</b> Effects of urbanisation on diabetes risk appear to be greater in indigenous populations worldwide than in populations of European origin, but the reasons are unclear.

Mechanisms linking glucotoxicity to the development of insulin resistance: a role for the endoplasmic reticulum stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Aims/hypothesis: Glucosamine, generated during hyperglycaemia, causes insulin resistance in different cells. Here we sought to evaluate the possible role of ER stress in the induction of insulin-resistance by glucosamine in skeletal muscle cells. Methods:

Effect of the dietary fat quality on insulin sensitivity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Recent evidence shows that specific fatty acids affect cell metabolism, modifying the balance between fatty acid oxidation and lipogenesis. These effects may have important implications in addressing the present epidemic of nutrition-related chronic ...
