Insulin Resistance
Sleep-disordered breathing early in pregnancy linked to insulin resistance
Sleep disordered breathing is associated with an increase in insulin resistance but not insulin secretion during early pregnancy among women with overweight and obesity, according to a study published in Sleep.
Immunotherapies, new gut peptides show promise for cardiometabolic diseases
Emerging data suggest immunotherapies and novel peptides that target gut inflammation could serve as complementary agents to available diabetes drugs to more effectively target cardiometabolic diseases, according to a speaker.
WCIRDC meeting to highlight new cardiometabolic practice recommendations
Experts from the fields of diabetes, cardiorenal and metabolic disease, and obesity will discuss new research and present practice recommendations at the 19th World Congress on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease.
19th annual WCIRDC conference to kick off December 2 in Los Angeles
The 19th annual World Congress on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes & Cardiovascular Disease conference will take place in-person with a virtual component for remote participants next month.
‘Green’ Mediterranean diet may boost fasting ghrelin, cardiometabolic health
Men assigned a “green” Mediterranean diet saw a twofold increase in fasting ghrelin level compared with a traditional Mediterranean diet, as well as an improvement in insulin sensitivity and visceral adipose tissue regression, data show.
Insulin resistance measures may predict incident major depressive disorder
Surrogate insulin resistance measures positively predicted incident major depressive disorder among adults with no depression or anxiety disorder history, according to a study in American Journal of Psychiatry.
Estimated glucose disposal rate may predict stroke, mortality risk in type 2 diabetes
Low insulin resistance, as measured by estimated glucose disposal rate, is associated with an increased risk for stroke and mortality for adults with type 2 diabetes, according to a speaker.
Probiotics, synbiotics may reduce insulin resistance in PCOS treatment
Multi-omics tools reveal new clues to cardiometabolic diseases
Circulating branched-chain amino acids and branched-chain keto acids are strong predictors of the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes, and targeting them could contribute to improved cardiometabolic health, according to a speaker.
Timing of eating, not duration, associated with better cardiometabolic health
Adults who ate their first meal before 8:30 a.m. each day had lower insulin resistance compared with those who started eating after 8:30 a.m., independent of eating interval duration, according to data presented at the ENDO annual meeting.
