Insulin resistance and coronary artery disease in non-diabetic patients: Is there any correlation?
Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of death in the world and type 2 diabetes is one of them because it is highly prevalent and doubles heart disease risk. Some studies suggest that insulin resistance is associated with coronary artery disease in non-diabetics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of insulin resistance (IR) and coronary artery disease...
متن کاملMixed Lineage Kinase Domain-Like Pseudokinase (MLKL) Gene Expression in Human Atherosclerosis with and without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Background: MLKL, one of the main downstream components of the necroptosis or programmed necrosis has recently been demonstrated in advanced atherosclerotic lesions. However, its precise role in the atherosclerosis pathogenesis still requires more elucidation. Our study was set to delineate both the changes in peripheral MLKL gene expression and its influence on disease severity in atherosclero...

Background: This study was conducted to determine the effects of n-3 PUFAs supplementation on plasma homocysteine (Hcy) level, lipid profile and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: This study is a double-blind controlled trial involving 70 patients with T2D selected from Yazd Diabetes Research Center in 2013. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either 2 g/...
متن کاملاثر گلوتامین بر شاخص های استرس اکسیداتیو، التهابی گلیکه و همچنین فعالیت سیستم گلیاوکسیلاز در موش های صحرایی دیابتی- آترواسکلروزی
Background and purpose: Vascular complications of diabetes are the most common causes of mortality in diabetic patients. Hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, glycation products, oxidative stress, and inflammation lead to atherosclerosis and diabetic nephropathy in diabetes. This research aimed at studying the effect of glutamine (Gln) on main causes of vascular complications in diab...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Serum Levels of Irisin with Cardiometabolic Biomarkers in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Background: Diabetes and obesity are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Irisin is a newly recognized peptidic myokine with anti-obesity and anti-diabetic properties. This study aims to investigate the relationship between serum irisin levels with cardiometabolic biomarkers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: In this comparative cross- sectional s...
متن کاملRelationship between serum levels of chromium and iron with transferrin and albumin levels as carrier proteins in diabetic patients with atherosclerosis
Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic diseases in the world, resulting in complete or partial deficiency or resistance to insulin action. In this study, the association between serum levels of chromium and iron with serum levels of their carriers, transferrin and albumin in diabetic patients with atherosclerosis was investigated. Materials and methods: In ...
