“For example, insulin resistance is common among older adults, increasing their risk for type 2 diabetes. In addition, a person's fat mass typically increases and muscle mass and bone mineral density decrease.”

“It is found in green leafy vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Poor magnesium status is implicated in several metabolic and inflammatory disorders including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular diseases.”

“Ceramides are a class of bioactive lipids that contribute to cardiovascular disease by promoting inflammation, insulin resistance, and lipid accumulation in arteries. Elevated ceramide levels are linked to a higher risk of atherosclerosis and adverse cardiac events.”

“Half of the participants received a daily serving of a protein-enriched soup (providing 24 to 30 grams of protein) and engaged in one hour of group exercise (aerobic and resistance) each week for 12 weeks.”

“Muscle is a "glucose sink," and engaging more skeletal muscle means more glucose uptake and less glucose in the bloodstream. Exercise enhances glucose uptake independent of insulin, also by increasing GLUT4 translocation to the cell surface in muscles.”

“Time-restricted feeding improved survival of septic shock and provided protection against insulin resistance and fatty liver in both sexes; however, male mice experienced greater reductions in body weight and serum cholesterol and maintained greater muscle mass and performance compared to female mice.”

“The accumulation of visceral fat is linked to type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, inflammatory diseases, certain types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other obesity-related diseases.”

“Participants following the green Mediterranean diet showed the greatest preservation of brain volume, particularly in the hippocampus. They also experienced improvements in HbA1c (a marker of long-term blood glucose control), insulin resistance, fasting glucose, and C-reactive protein.”

“Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose and insulin resistance. Poor blood glucose control is associated with many diabetes-related complications and death. Findings from a new study indicate that blood glucose control influences outcomes in COVID-19.”

“Type 2 diabetes is a progressive metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels and insulin resistance. Long-term complications from poorly controlled type 2 diabetes include heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure, among others.”
