“People whose diets were rich in dietary fiber were also more likely to have lower body mass index, body fat, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and HOMA-IR (a measure of insulin resistance) than those with low intake.”

“G-protein coupled receptors (GPR), a family of proteins that sense the presence of fatty acids. Interestingly, stimulation of specific GPRs induces pancreatic insulin release in response to glucose. Blocking the activity of these GPRs contributes to obesity in humans and mice.”

“Further investigations showed that while both metformin and sulphoraphane cut blood glucose, they do it in different ways. Metformin makes cells more sensitive to insulin, so they sponge more surplus glucose out of the bloodstream.”

“This is an interesting proof of principle study showing that implementing a nutrition protocol purposed at raising plasma ketones through fasting (TRE) a ketogenic diet and physical exercises can compensate for insulin resistance and the ApoE4 gene in a mild Alzheimer’s patient experiencing cognitive impairment.”

“The probiotics also lowered triglycerides, VLDL, and markers of insulin resistance. There was no cognitive improvement in the placebo group. The participants took 2 billion Bifidobacterium bacteria per day, which is a pretty small quantity of probiotics.”

“‘Exercise snacks’ before meals: a novel strategy to improve glycaemic control in individuals with insulin resistance - Short, intense exercise before meals effectively improves blood sugar control in those with insulin resistance.”

“In addition, their BDNF increased, and their peripheral insulin decreased. These findings suggest that supplemental omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA increase the Omega-3 Index and improve multiple markers of brain health and cognitive function in older adults.”

“Obesity In a study in which mice were fed a diet that was high in fat and sugar and received a 400-milligram per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg/bw) nicotinamide riboside supplement every day for one week, the mice gained 60 percent less fat, exhibited improved insulin sensitivity, and demonstrated greater endurance and muscle strength, compared to mice that did not receive the supplement.”

“Because growth hormone can increase insulin production to a harmful degree, the investigators used metformin, a common diabetes drug, and dehydroepiandrosterone, a steroid precursor, to control symptoms of diabetes.”

“Diet-induced insulin resistance caused blood vessels to become leaky which impaired blood and oxygen flow to a brain region involved in learning and memory (animal evidence). Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with a leaky blood-brain barrier.”
