Obesity, especially visceral adiposity, is a major determinant of the development of type 2 diabetes. Both visceral adiposity and insulin resistance are strongly related to cardiovascular risk factors in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. One of the areas where the correlation between visceral fat (upper body adiposity) and cardiovascular risk is most apparent is the prediabetic state. We have...

Purpose: Nordic walking (NW) exercise is a type of performed with batons, thus enabling the upper extremity to participate in movement, reducing load on lower and resulting involvement large muscle groups. Exercise recommended prevent development diabetes mellitus. The aim this study was investigate effects NW insulin resistance, erythrocyte deformability, adipokine levels, oxidative stress pre...

Objective: Young adults with type 2 diabetes were demonstrated to have increased cardiovascular disease risk. Fetuin-A levels are associated with insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, hepatosteatosis, subclinical inflammation and increased cardiovascular risk. Apolipoprotein (Apo) B/Apo A1 ratio is a well-defined cardiovascular risk assessment marker. In this study, we aimed to invest...

INTRODUCTION Several studies have shown that ventricular dysfunction is increased in individuals with diabetes. Insulin resistance (IR) may precede type 2 diabetes, and is a pathogenic factor for it. Furthermore, IR has been shown to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease in diabetes. Given that glucose intolerance and IR precede the development of overt diabetes, these factors w...
