Insulin Resistance

Elevated triglyceride glucose index and its dynamic change were positively associated with risk for incident hypertension among rural Chinese adults, according to research published in Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases.

Patients with asthma and insulin resistance had lower and faster loss of lung function, as well as suboptimal responses to asthma treatments, according to a study published in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

Adults with an elevated level of pancreatic fat have higher risk for developing incident diabetes, but weight loss may be able to lower diabetes risk by reducing fat levels and increasing pancreatic volume, according to a presenter.

Loss of beta cell function serves as the basis for progression from normal glucose tolerance to impaired glucose tolerance, but insulin clearance may not be a major factor in the development of dysglycemia, according to a speaker.

Underlying insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia work together as “bad actors” to drive atherosclerotic CVD long before a person is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and early treatment is needed to slow the process, according to a speaker.

Adults partaking in time-restricted eating have greater decreases in body weight, fat mass, fasting blood glucose and other cardiometabolic markers compared with controls, according to findings from a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The 20th annual World Congress on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes & Cardiovascular Disease will offer a unique blend of basic and clinical science across cardiometabolic disciplines while also providing practical implications for patient care.

SAN DIEGO — Children in an underserved community who increased the number of times per week they ate breakfast had lower fasting insulin and insulin resistance than those who ate breakfast less often, according to a speaker.

Study results published in Diabetologia found no association between the number of daily sedentary time breaks and lower liver fat content or reduced insulin resistance.

Reducing insulin resistance may help lower BP in adolescents and young adults, according to a study published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine.
