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...

The Worst Dinner Foods That Increase Insulin Resistance And Slows Metabolism
Georgia Dodd Sat, March 25, 2023 at 3:30 PM MST· 3 min read We all know that there are certain foods you shouldn’t be eating in the morning for weight loss, but many don’t consider dinner’s impact. There are some foods that you may be eating that are slowing your metabolism and increasing insulin resistance. Specifically, Dr. Andrea...

Arterial stiffness raises blood pressure in adolescents via insulin resistance
UNIVERSITY OF EASTERN FINLAND In the young population, arterial stiffness, an emerging risk factor for hypertension, indirectly raises blood pressure via an increase in insulin resistance but not via an increase in body fat, a paper published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine concludes. There is a global effort aimed at screening, identification, and early diagnosis of hypertension...

Higher Vitamin D3 Levels Link to Less Insulin Resistance
Marlene Busko, for Medscape March 24, 2022 Researchers published the study covered in this summary on Research Square as a preprint that has not yet been peer reviewed. Key Takeaways Data from five sequential National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) reports using US population samples in 2009-2018 showed each 1-unit increase in serum levels of vitamin D3 (25-hydroxyvitamin...

Even moderate light exposure during sleep harms heart health and increases insulin resistance: study
by Northwestern University Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Close the blinds, draw the curtains and turn off all the lights before bed. Exposure to even moderate ambient lighting during nighttime sleep, compared to sleeping in a dimly lit room, harms your cardiovascular function during sleep and increases your insulin resistance the following morning, reports a new...

Black Beans Help Fix Insulin Resistance and Gut Bacteria Balance
Adding cooked black beans to a high-fat diet improved sensitivity to insulin and other measures often related to diabetes and restored gut bacteria balance in obese mice, according to a USDA Agricultural Research Service study. As little as the mouse-size equivalent of a single serving a day of black beans—about a half cup for a...

Senolytic Treatment Minimizes the Contribution of Excess Fat Tissue to Insulin Resistance in Mice
Senescent cells accumulate with age throughout the body, and contribute directly to the onset and progression of a wide range of age-related conditions. While never present in large numbers in comparison to normal somatic cells, senescent cells are metabolically active, secreting signals that provoke chronic inflammation, altered cell behavior, and numerous forms of tissue dysfunction....

Signaling molecules called EETs may improve treatment for insulin resistance
by Bill Snyder, Vanderbilt University Medical Center Credit: CC0 Public Domain Analogs of signaling molecules called EETs may improve treatment of insulin resistance, a primary risk factor for development of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, according to a new paper by researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Ambra Pozzi, Ph.D., and colleagues previously reported that EETs...
