Glucose
Research published in Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology has demonstrated the effectiveness of chia seed in improving glucose tolerance and modulating insulin signaling in an experimental model of metabolic syndrome. The study, led by Maria Eugenia D'Alessandro and her team at National University Litoral, found that chia seed improved
Glucose
According to recent research findings, a stochastic differential model has been developed to study the complex interactions between glucose and insulin in the body, particularly in the context of type 2 diabetes management. The model includes two types of time delays to capture the physiological variability and oscillations that occur
Glucose
Researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of neuroscience, uncovering the key role of insulin signaling in the brain's cognitive functions. According to their study, published in the peer-reviewed journal bioRxiv, certain areas of the brain involved in
Diabetes therapy
Research has shown that community pharmacists face challenges in providing effective patient education on continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), which are crucial for diabetes management. According to a recent study, limited time and resources may result in inadequate or absent counseling, potentially impacting the accuracy and accessibility of CGM use. Key
Glucose
A recent study published in Diabetologia has shed new light on the relationship between daily life stress and glucose levels in individuals with insulin resistance. Researchers from Goethe-University Frankfurt conducted a real-world assessment of daily life stress and its effects on blood glucose levels in 116 participants with insulin resistance
Cardiovascular diseases
Investigations have highlighted the potential link between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a marker of insulin resistance, and peripheral artery disease (PAD). A comprehensive meta-analysis published by researchers from the Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University has shed light on this association. The study, which pooled data from 37,761 participants
Diabetes therapy
Recent research findings from Shiga, Japan, have shed light on the potential benefits of combining metformin and anagliptin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The study found that pre-meal administration of the combination of metformin and anagliptin reduced postprandial triglyceride concentrations and increased active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels, compared
Glucose
Research conducted at Institut d'Investigacions Biomediques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS) in Barcelona, Spain, has uncovered fresh insights into the relationship between first episode psychosis (FEP) and glucose homeostasis abnormalities. The study, published in Schizophrenia Research, found that FEP patients exhibited altered genetic risk for glycemic traits, despite
Body mass index
New research conducted by researchers at the First Affiliated Hospital in Ningbo, China, has shed light on the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and cardiometabolic complications in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). The study, published in the European Journal of Medical Research, aimed to investigate whether the
Colorectal cancer
Researchers at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University in Henan, People's Republic of China, have conducted a study to investigate the impact of glucose and lipid metabolic disorders on the risk of chronic postoperative pain syndrome after colorectal cancer surgery. The study involved 513 patients, who
Type 2 diabetes
Research from the University of KwaZulu-Natal has revealed that sulfated polysaccharides (SPCs) derived from Gracilaria gracilis, a type of red seaweed, can restore testicular glucose metabolism in rats with type 2 diabetes. The study found that SPCs administration significantly increased insulin, FSH, glucose, and glutathione metabolisms, while improving testicular morphology
C-reactive protein
A recent study published in Cardiovascular Diabetology has shed light on the relationship between the C-Reactive Protein-Triglyceride-Glucose Index (CTI) and the risk of stroke in middle-aged and older Chinese adults. The research, conducted by investigators at Ningxia Medical University, aimed to investigate the association between changes in CTI and stroke
