Insulin resistance caused by sympathetic nervous system over-activation, a paradigm-shifting study finds
by Justin Jackson , Medical Xpress Credit: Cell Metabolism (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.cmet.2024.09.012 Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and collaborating institutions have found that overnutrition leads to insulin resistance and metabolic disorders through increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The study shows that reducing SNS activity can prevent insulin resistance induced by a high-fat diet,...

Study finds increased body and abdominal fat cause insulin resistance in teenagers, raising type 2 diabetes risk
by University of Eastern Finland Both total body fat mass and abdominal fat cause hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance, with abdominal fat doubling the risk of metabolic dysfunction. However, light physical activity can significantly reduce total body fat mass and insulin resistance. Credit: Andrew AgbajeHigh fat mass in adolescence causes insulin resistance, which can lead to...

Reversing insulin resistance in liver cells could treat type 2 diabetes
AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY Although diabetes is a common condition, no cure exists yet. Current therapies can manage blood sugar levels, but they do not address insulin resistance. But now, recent research reported in ACS Nano shows that targeting certain highly reactive molecules in the liver can reverse insulin resistance in human liver cells and diabetic...
