“Liver and pancreas fat did not stay reduced. Reductions in visceral fat during the intervention were linked to more favorable markers of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome severity. Only visceral fat loss showed a clear diabetes risk signal.”

“Regarding metabolic health, the IMF group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in insulin resistance measured by HOMA-IR (−0.95 vs. −0.37), and triglycerides improved significantly (by 24 mg/dL) only within the IMF group.”

“Here’s an interesting report that didn't make it into this issue of the Digest. Fructose metabolism is a survival mechanism that drives nutritional intake, reduces resting metabolism, promotes fat and glycogen storage, and induces insulin resistance to preserve the brain's glucose supply.”

“This study provides important insight into the relationship between obesity and cancer. Link to full publication. Watch this episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast with Dr. Ruth Patterson to learn more about the effects of insulin resistance on breast cancer.”

“https://www.foundmyfitness.com/topics/berberine'] Oxidative stress and inflammation play critical roles in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance, diabetes, and their associated complications.”

“These structural and functional changes are correlated with insulin resistance. High-intensity exercise increases a cellular repair process known as mitophagy—it sends a signal to clear out and recycle damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria.”

“IGF-1 inhibits the activity of FOXO3, a master regulator of many mammalian genes involved in oxidative stress tolerance and aging. Mice that lack the insulin receptor or the IGF-1 receptor live longer and are more resistant to oxidative stress than normal mice.”

“Amyloid-beta produced in peripheral tissues provides a link between diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease risk. Type 2 diabetes, a metabolic disorder characterized by glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, poses a significant public health concern, affecting roughly 470 million people worldwide.”

“Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by skeletal muscle insulin resistance. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity, but the demanding nature of traditional HIIT sessions can be daunting for people unaccustomed to regular physical activity.”

“Preliminary evidence that insulin resistance may play a role in fibromyalgia. People high HbA1c (a biomarker for long-term blood glucose) were significantly more likely to have fibromyalgia even if they did not have type 2 diabetes.”
