... exosomes. Here we investigated whether placental exosomes in GDM carry a specific set of miRNAs associated with skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. Exosomes were isolated from chorionic villous (CV) explants from both women with Normal Glucose Tolerant (NGT) and GDM pregnancies. Using miRNA sequencing, we...

... with or without Type 2 diabetes mellitus with n3PUFA has been demonstrated to increase glucose oxidation compared with oleic acid [ 4 ]. Studies in human myotubes have also suggested that n3PUFA improve insulin sensitivity by diverting fatty acids away from mitochondrial β-oxidation towards cellular lipid...

... in a cohort of young adults (mean age 22 years) and their siblings participating in a longitudinal study of cardiovascular risk ( n =370). Insulin sensitivity was determined by euglycaemic insulin clamp. EDD (endothelium-dependent dilation) was determined by flow-mediated dilation using high-resolution...

... concurrently. Statin intake may blunt mitochondrial function and the adaptive response to exercise training. Thus combining exercise training with statin administration may have adverse effects. We examined whether improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors, insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function...

...Faidon Magkos; Yannis Tsekouras; Stavros A. Kavouras; Bettina Mittendorfer; Labros S. Sidossis A single bout of moderate-intensity exercise increases whole-body insulin sensitivity for 12–48 h post-exercise; however, the relationship between exercise energy expenditure and the improvement...

...Robert Hägerkvist; Leif Jansson; Nils Welsh The aim of the present study was to investigate whether imatinib affects insulin sensitivity and glucose disposal in HF (high-fat)-fed rats. Sprague–Dawley rats were fed either a standard pelleted rat food (low-fat diet) or an HF diet (60% fat) for 8...

...Raymond R. Townsend; Shiv Kapoor; Christopher B. McFadden The literature on salt intake and insulin sensitivity presents a mixed picture, as some studies have shown an increase, whereas others have shown a decrease, in insulin action as sodium intake is enhanced. In some cases, this may relate...

...R. Butler; A.D. Morris; A. D. Struthers 1. Recent evidence shows that skeletal muscle blood flow is an important determinant of insulin sensitivity and that insulin-mediated vasodilatation is nitric oxide dependent. These results have given rise to the hypothesis that endothelial nitric oxide...

The results suggest that intraperitoneal insulin, while resulting in better glycaemic control and improved insulin sensitivity than subcutaneous insulin, increases serum triacylglycerol and total cholesterol and reduces high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, possibly via a direct effect on the liver...

However, these results may also be related to the confounding effect of increased non-insulin-mediated glucose uptake in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, which will result in an erroneously presumed increased insulin sensitivity.
