Insulin resistance concepts.

Nutritional Modulation of Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance has been proposed as the strongest single predictor for the development of Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). Chronic oversupply of energy from food, together with inadequate physical activity, have been recognized as the most relevant factors leading to overweight, abdominal adiposity, insulin resistance, and finally T2DM. Conversely, energy reduced diets almost invariably to facilitat...

اثر یک دوره تمرین مقاومتی بر سطوح پلاسمایی کمرین و انسولین در دو گروه موش‌های نر سالم و موش‌های نر مقاوم به انسولین

Background: Chemerin is a new adipokine, which is involved in inflammation and resistance insulin development. Thus, recent study examined changes of chemerin plasma levels and insulin resistance in two groups of healthy and insulin resistance male rats after 8 weeks resistance training. Materials and methods: 32 male Wister rats with a weight, 161 ± 23 g were randomly divided into four groups ...

تاثیر هشت هفته تمرین مقاومتی بر سطوح پلاسمایی ویسفاتین و رابطه آن با مقاومت به انسولین در موش‌های نر مقاوم به انسولین

Background: Visfatin is an adipokine secreted from visceral adipose tissue and involved in glucose homeostasis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight-week resistance training on plasma visfatin levels and its relation to insulin resistance in insulin-resistant male rats. Methods: In this experimental study twenty-four Wistar male rats­ (220±20 gr) were acclimati...

P-183: TGF-? Level and Insulin Resistance during Normal Pregnancy

O-3: Obesity, Insulin Resistance and Their Correlation with Testosterone Levels in Male Patients

Background: Obesity and insulin resistance refer to a clustering of various medical conditions, with a number of pathological components that contribute to the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Some studies have shown that free testosterone levels are low in obese men and are inversely correlated with the degree of obesity. In addition, leptin levels increases with obesity tha...

Comparison of Insulin resistance in obese women with and without Acanthosis Nigricans

Background and aim: Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is characterized by hyperpigmented velvety plaques of body folds and neck. Insulin can have a role in the pathogenesis of this disease and hyperinsulinemia as a consequence of insulin resistance may stimulate the formation of the characteristic plaques of AN. In this study insulin resistance was compared in obese women with and without AN.</sp...
