“Compounds in insecticides are structurally similar to melatonin and can bind to melatonin receptors. The activation of melatonin receptors tells the body that it is night and time for rest and this can potentially affect glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion.”

“Participants underwent intensive metabolic testing and provided blood and stool samples so the researchers could analyze insulin resistance, beta cell function, blood lipids, proteins, and gut microbes.”

“A new study analyzed data from three clinical trials and found that an individual's fasting blood glucose and insulin levels determined the type of diet they would best lose weight on possibly suggesting that one diet does not fit all, and a personalized dietary approach may be more suitable.”

“People with higher than normal levels of visceral fat also had significantly higher levels of these pieces of DNA and this also associated with insulin resistance. Here is a press release for the study: http://medicalxpress.com/news/2016-03-results-cell-free-dna-involved-inflammation.html”

“The team found that a chemical compound called GW1516 (GW) similarly activated PPARD, replicating the weight control and insulin responsiveness in normal mice that had been seen in the engineered ones. [...] > Mice in the control group could run about 160 minutes before exhaustion.”

“Consequently, they may confer health benefits that reduce the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. A recent study found that a vegan diet reduced body weight, LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and fasting insulin in healthy adults.”

“FTA:A chemical compound commonly found in coffee may help prevent some of the damaging effects of obesity. Scientists have found that chlorogenic acid, or CGA, significantly reduced insulin resistance and accumulation of fat in the livers of mice who were fed a high-fat diet.”

“The decreased insulin sensitivity was, however, unrelated to alterations in gut microbiota following sleep loss. The study involved restricting sleep to ~4 hours per night for two consecutive days.”

“Insulin resistance fell with the combined strategy versus control and vitamin D alone; both single interventions also beat control. Fasting glucose decreased with the combined approach compared with control.”

“Exercise causes acute elevation of IL-6 which reduces postprandial blood glucose levels and insulin secretion by delaying gastric emptying in men with type 2 diabetes. IL-6 is a cytokine with both negative and positive effects.”
