Nicotine promotes insulin resistance

news-medical.net

Researchers have discovered a reason why smoking greatly increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Nicotine promotes insulin resistance, also called prediabetes, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, according to the new study, which was presented at The Endocrine Society's 91st Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.

Differences Identified In Metabolic Disease Markers In Healthy & Obese 7-To-9-Year-Olds - QualityPoint Technologies

qualitypointtech.net — “Research led by Dr. Melinda Sothern, Professor of Public Health and Jim Finks Endowed Chair in Health Promotion at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, has found that obese 7-9-year-old children had nearly three times the liver fat and almost double the belly fat of their nonobese counterparts and that insulin resistance was more than double and insulin sensitivity less than half respectively. The study is the first to use a combination of advanced measurements in healthy obese and nonobese cView full resource at qualitypointtech.net

B cells promote insulin resistance through modulation of T cells and production of pathogenic IgG antibodies : Nature Medicine : Nature Publishing Group

nature.com — “Edgar Engleman and his colleagues show that B cell production of pathogenic IgG antibodies is involved in obesity-induced insulin resistance. They also show that B cell depletion in obese mice ameliorates metabolic disease, and that obese, insulin-resistant humans have a unique profile of IgG autoantibodies. These results suggest a possible new therapeutic target to treat insulin resistance.View full resource at nature.com

Researchers discover FoxO1 protein interacts with macrophages to promote inflammatory response

news-medical.net — “Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have discovered that a multi-tasking protein called FoxO1 has another important but previously unknown function: It directly interacts with macrophages, promoting an inflammatory response that can lead to insulin resistance and diabetes. Contrarily, it also generates a negative feedback loop that can limit damage from excessive inflammation.View full resource at news-medical.net
