Insulin Sensitizers

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2003
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an increasingly prevalent disorder associated with multiple metabolic derangements. Insulin resistance is the most prominent feature common in both type 2 diabetes and its associated metabolic abnormalities. Until 1995, the only therapeutic interventions available in the United States were the insulin secretagogues ...

Insulin Resistance and Insulin Sensitizers

Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2001
Insulin resistance is a key factor in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and a co-factor in the development of dyslipidaemia, hypertension and atherosclerosis. The causes of insulin resistance include factors such as obesity and physical inactivity, and there may also be genetic factors.

Insulin, insulin sensitivity and hypertension

Journal of Hypertension, 1990
The sensitivity of tissue to insulin is of physiological, pathophysiological and therapeutic relevance. The quantity of insulin and the response to insulin are paramount complementary factors in the regulation of glucose metabolism, and may, at least under certain pathophysiological conditions, also affect cardiovascular function.

Insulin sensitivity and hyperprolactinemia

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2003
It has been shown that prolactin (PRL) induces glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in several animal species. In women with microprolactinomas, the sensitivity to insulin is lower in hyperprolactinemia than in normoprolactinemia.

Insulin sensitivity and fertility

Human Fertility, 2000
This review sets in context significant recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The occurrence of variable insulin sensitivity in individuals is discussed. Information is presented to demonstrate that prolonged anovulation decreases insulin sensitivity and, conversely, that improvement in insulin

Advances in Insulin Sensitizers

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2004
Insulin resistance is the major cause in Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM). In this review insulin production from beta-cells and action of insulin is briefly described. Any intervention either in the production or action of insulin has been the leading cause of NIDDM.

Insulin-sensitive obesity

American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2010
The association between obesity and impaired insulin sensitivity has long been recognized, although a subgroup of obese individuals seems to be protected from insulin resistance. In this study, we systematically studied differences in adipose tissue biology between insulin-sensitive (IS) and insulin-resistant (IR) individuals with ...

Alcohol and insulin sensitivity

The Netherlands Journal of Medicine, 1998
Compared to heavy drinking and abstinence, a moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with lower mortality rates due to coronary heart disease. About half of the protective effect of alcohol on cardiovascular risk can be explained by its ability to raise HDL-cholesterol. Alcohol can influence HDL metabolism at more than one site.

Insulin Sensitivity in Pregnancy

Diabetes, 1991
Quantitation of insulin sensitivity (S,) with the insulin suppression test, glucose clamp, or the minimal model method has been achieved in various clinical circumstances. The application of these techniques to pregnancy has been limited. It is important to utilize sensitive and reproducible methods to study S, changes in pregnancy to fully understand ...
