“Among participants with prediabetes, 56% in the intervention group returned to normal glucose levels, compared with 13% of controls. Repeated bouts of muscle contraction, particularly in large postural and leg muscles, can stimulate glucose uptake through insulin-independent pathways.”

“In another study, quercetin intake reduced hepatic steatosis of mice fed a Western-style diet. Adipose tissue macrophages are cells involved in obesity-associated inflammation and insulin resistance.”

“The similarity in outcomes between caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee strongly suggests that non-caffeine bioactives, like chlorogenic acids, are primarily responsible for enhancing glucose metabolism and improving insulin sensitivity.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that dementia is the manifestation of insulin resistance and altered metabolism in the brain. A recent study suggests that dietary patterns that promote ketosis improve brain metabolism and function.”

“Metabolic dysfunction escalates with age and increases the risk of frailty and chronic disease. Many investigational antiaging drugs target enzymes involved in energy metabolism, such as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1.”

“NAFLD is driven by intertwined problems in lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, and chronic low-grade inflammation. Elevated CRP reflects inflammatory signaling that worsens insulin resistance and promotes progression from simple fat accumulation to inflammatory liver injury.”

“One group of genes, the sirtuins, encode a class of enzymes that control gene expression to regulate a variety of metabolic processes essential to maintain proper cellular function, including the release of insulin, mobilization of lipids, and response to stress.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that the timing of food intake plays important roles in metabolic regulation and circadian rhythmicity. For example, eating a large, carbohydrate-rich meal late in the evening impairs glucose tolerance and insulin secretion, contributing to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.”

“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.”

“00:02:30 - BPA has diverse effects on human health, including endocrine, reproductive, and transgenerational epigenetic effects. Study. 00:02:47 - BPA alters insulin sensitivity.”
