Prevalence of impaired fasting glucose and diabetes mellitus among HIV infected individuals on anti-retroviral therapy at the Adult Infectious Disease Centre, Lusaka
… are implicated in the increase of impaired glucose levels and Type 2 diabetes mellitus in HIV patients. Diabetes mellitus has specific morbidity and mortality consequences. It also contributes to the burden of other non-communicable and communicable diseases. In HIV patients it could further …

Modification of the Glycemic Status on Aortic Distensibility by Age in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Background: Elevated serum glucose from diabetes mellitus (DM) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG) shares many mechanisms with aging that decrease aortic distensibility (AD), such as glycation of the extra-cellular matrix. However, little data compares the simultaneous effects of elevated serum …

Influence of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms on Changes in Insulin Sensitivity with Aerobic Exercise Training
… Subjects were genotyped and underwent oral glucose tolerance tests before and after six months of training. Due to mis-genotyping of the BsmI polymorphism, results for that variant were not reported. There were no significant differences between FokI genotype groups in insulin sensitivity …

Clinical, Metabolic and Inflammatory Indicators of Esketamine Efficacy for Treatment-Resistant Major Depressive Episodes
… symptoms and suicidal ideation. Higher fasting glucose pre-treatment predicted greater reductions in suicidal ideation. Decreases in fasting glucose and systolic blood pressure were observed post-treatment. These findings support the therapeutic effects of esketamine and emphasize the …

Genetic and dietary determinants of Type 2 diabetes in a black South African population
… patterns associated with glycated hemoglobin and fasting glucose in a black South African population. Methods: Four types of genetic risk scores (GRS) were computed using the 66 SNPs that had been associated with T2D in the Europeans and Asians. This comprised of the GRSt which consisted of all …

Sex Differences in Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Biomarkers among Cognitively Normal Older Adults
… genetic (APOE genotype status) and medical (fasting glucose, mean arterial pressure, waist-to-hip ratio, and android and gynoid body fat percentages) AD risk factors associated with the neuroimaging outcomes with observed sex differences. Participants were sedentary older adults (N = 112, …

Anti-inflammatory effect according to the maturity of Kimchi in obese patients
… pressure, diastolic blood pressure, % body fat, fasting glucose, and total cholesterol of the fermented Kimchi group was significantly lower than that of the fresh Kimchi group. In aspect of insulin resistance, decreased trend of fasting insulin and leptin were shown after ingestion of fermented …

Associations of the Limb Fat to Trunk Fat Ratio With Markers of Cardiometabolic Risk in Elderly Men and Women
… magnetic resonance imaging. Insulin resistance, fasting glucose, HDL-cholesterol, plasma triglycerides and adiponectin were determined. Regression analyses and partial correlations were used to assess the independent associations between variables. Results: After control for potential …

The effect of circadian regulation and sleep disruption on metabolic homeostasis
… per night have a three-fold risk of impaired fasting glucose than those sleeping at least 8 hours per night. Laboratory studies report that as little as one night of insufficient sleep impairs insulin sensitivity, which is a common risk factor for obesity and diabetes. Circadian misalignment …

NOVEL STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE METABOLIC PARAMETERS AND PRECONDITION DIABETIC HEARTS AGAINST ISCHEMIA/REPERFUSION INJURY
… to negatively regulate insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. Based on complimentary binding profiles, the downstream target gene of miR-103/107 is caveolin-1 (Cav-1). We hypothesized that daily administration of the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor tadalafil (TAD) ± the curcumin analogue …

Vascular and Neuro-Inflammatory Modulation Following Resistance Training in Young African American and White Men
… cardiorespiratory fitness, blood lipid levels or fasting glucose. In conclusion, resistance training improves vascular and autonomic function while reducing inflammation in African American men. Thus, this exercise modality may be a useful lifestyle intervention for abrogating cardiovascular risk …
