The metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance have been related to incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), but it is uncertain if metabolic syndrome predicts CVD independent of insulin resistance. Our study sample included 2,898 people without diabetes or CVD at baseline. Metabolic syndrome was defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, an...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the context of new aspects of cellular adaptation in physical activity with a focus on delayed pain approach, the nature and types of pain, several preventive and non-pharmacological approaches to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and to achieve a desirable conclusion and provide more relevant information from previous research. In this stu...

The metabolic syndrome shows a variable prevalence in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), and its association with insulin resistance or excessive daytime sleepiness in OSA is unclear. This study assessed the following in consecutive patients with newly diagnosed OSA: 1) the prevalence of metabolic syndrome; and 2) its association with insulin resistance and daytime sleepiness. Metabolic syndrome (...

Objective: Metabolic syndrome (MS) also known as insulin resistance syndrome is a surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR). Traditionally this is being diagnosed by Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP-III) and International Federation of Diabetes (IDF) criteria. Despite mounting evidence in favor of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), this has not been yet included as a component of either...

Obesity-induced inflammation plays an important role in the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and metabolic dysfunctions. Chronic activation of proinflammatory pathways within insulin target cells can lead to obesity-related insulin resistance. The inflammatory mediators consist of immune cells, cytokines, adipokines, and inflammatory signaling molecules. Targeting obesi...

OBJECTIVE: Insulin resistance is characterized by the failure of target cells to respond to normal levels of circulating insulin, and this condition is related to cardiovascular disease. This study sought to evaluate the prevalence of insulin resistance and its association with markers of metabolic abnormalities and metabolic syndrome in bank employees. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was pe...

Objective: To evaluate various lipid, lipoprotein and apolipoprotein ratios among participants with without metabolic syndrome.
 Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study.
 Place Duration of Study: Naval Hospital, Islamabad Pakistan, from Jan 2019 to Dec 2020.
 Methodology: We selected 164 patients syndrome. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed as per “NCEP-defined criteria”. I...
