Search results for insulin resistance

“In one hospital study, insulin resistance was more common in people with acanthosis nigricans or skin tags than in controls. Separate studies also found higher insulin measures among people with biopsy-confirmed acanthosis nigricans and among patients with multiple skin tags.”

“Fast insulin resistance develops due to short-term triggers like stress, inflammation, and excessive insulin levels themselves. These three primary stimuli have all been confirmed to cause insulin resistance in a matter of hours and reverse insulin resistance when removed.”

“Convincing animal data and preliminary research in patients with early cognitive decline have shown positive outcomes using strategies to overcome insulin resistance. In this clip, Dr. Peter Attia explains his position on the relationship between insulin resistance and Alzheimer’s disease risk.”

“Researchers induced acute insulin resistance in mouse hippocampal tissue and determined its effects on neuronal function. Then, they administered beta-hydroxybutyrate, a type of ketone, to the tissues and evaluated the outcomes.”

“Maybe high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help... at least when it comes to insulin resistance. HIIT before 24 h of sleep deprivation attenuated the increase of glucose, insulin, and free fatty acids in healthy males.”

“People that were exposed to 100 lux of light during sleep for one night had higher markers of insulin resistance (such as higher insulin levels) compared to individuals that were not exposed to light during sleep. The light exposure likely disrupts sleep and leads to poor sleep.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”
