A Standardized Measurement of Plasma Insulin Concentration
نویسنده
چکیده
The notion that insulin resistance is associated with a cluster of abnormalities that increase risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) was introduced in 1988,1 and this view continues to gain traction. The study by Robins et al2 provides additional support for the link between insulin resistance and CHD, but it also emphasizes that a good deal remains to be learned about this relationship. For example, because high triglyceride (TG) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations are associated with insulin resistance,3 as well as being CHD risk factors, it might have been assumed that this dyslipidemia is the link between insulin resistance and CHD. Although these lipid changes may well contribute to this relationship, Robins et al2 demonstrate that the incidence of CHD was significantly increased in insulinresistant individuals, whether or not their TG concentrations were higher or their HDL-C concentrations lower than the median value in the population studied.

Impact of combined exercise training on plasma concentration of Apelin, resistin and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetics’ male
ABSTRACT Introduction: Apelin and resistin as novel adipokines have insulin-sensitizing effects, which may be associated with decreased blood glucose concentration. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of combined exercise training on plasma concentrations of apelin, resistin and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetics male (T2D). Methods: In a quasi-...
متن کاملEffect of progressive resistance training on insulin resistance and plasma adiponectin concentration in overweight men.
Background and objectives: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of a progressive resistance-training program beside an energy deficit diet on body Composition, insulin resistance and plasma adiponectin levels in overweight adult men. Methods: Twenty-five overweight men (age =32.1 ± 4.3 years, BMI =28.9 ± 1.3 kg.m-2) were randomly assigned into one of the two groups: resis...

In this study, the effects of late gestational undernutrition (LGU) on plasma concentration of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I), leptin, insulin and glucose in subsequent sucking lambs was investigated. Ten twin-bearing ewes were fed either restrictedly (Restricted) or adequately (Control) during the last six weeks of gestation and were fed ad libitum after parturition. Blood samples were t...

Introduction: Metabolic disorders are affected by negative stress experiences in the early stages of life. Accordingly, in this study, the effects of stress during pregnancy on oxidative status and glucose homeostasis in pubertal male Wistar rats were investigated. Materials and Methods: After pregnancy, female rats (200±30 g) were divided into 2 groups (6 rats per group) of stress and non-stre...

Background: kallikrein 7 (KLK7), a serine protease with a chymotrypsin-like specificity, is able to cleave human insulin in the A- and B-chain. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise training on plasma KLK7 concentration and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in normal and overweight sedentary women. Methods: Twenty-eight sedentary women, aged 24-60 years, v...

Background: Cardiomyopathy is one of adverse effects of diabetes that associated with cardiac muscle metabolism and function disruption. Exercise training decreases adverse effects of diabetes on heart by changing genes involved in cardiac metabolism and increasing myokines secretion. So, the aim of this study was to investigate of 8 weeks aerobic training on cardiac PGC-1α gene expression and ...
