...Helma Karimi; Masoumeh Nezhadali; Mehdi Hedayati; Maryam Mahdavi; Sara Sheikholeslami Background: Some adipokine hormones can affect both human and animal models of insulin resistance. Aims: This study was conducted to assess the association between rs17300539 and rs266729 of the adiponectin gene...

...Sujata R. Mahadik; Sudha S. Deo; Suresh D. Mehtalia We determine the relative contribution adipocytokines to insulin resistance (IR) in urban Western Indian population. The serum adipocytokine [leptin, adiponectin, resistin, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and interleukin-6 (IL-6)] levels...

...Mehdi Harati M.; Mohsen Ani M. Background: Insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia and disturbances in lipid metabolism can be produced in healthy rats by feeding them a fructose-enriched diet. Vanadyl sulfate, an antidiabetic trace element, enhances insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetic patients...

...Adamu G. Bakari; Geoffrey C. Onyemelukwe Background: Considerable interest has been generated and still continues on the role of insulin resistance in the aetiology of glucose intolerance and its complications. There is evidence to suggest that racial factors are important in this regard. Whereas...

...Balasubramanian Vanithadevi; Carani Venkataraman Anuradha The study investigates the effects of rosmarinic acid (RA) on insulin sensitivity, protein glycation and oxidative events in fructose-fed mice, a model of insulin resistance (IR). Experiments were performed in four groups of animals...

...Mohamed Z. Gad; Noha A. Ehssan; Mansour H. Ghiet; Lobna F. Wahman The aim of the study was to compare the effects of pioglitazone and metformin on carbohydrate metabolism in diabetic and insulin resistant rats. Male albino rats were randomized into seven groups. The first, control group received...

...Ying-Li Liao; Su-Ching Lin; Chung-Hua Hsu Insulin resistance is an important pathogenic factor in type 2 diabetes patents. An easy and efficiency measurement predicting insulin resistance; which can be done easily by type 2 patients is desired. The aim of this study is to examine whether waist...

... and insulin resistance in diagnosed cases of hepatitis C were measured and the expression of leptin and leptin receptors in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was ascertained by mRNA quantification. We discovered high serum leptin levels with decreased expression of leptin receptors in insulin resistant...

... resistance, a characteristic finding of type 2 diabetics and their offspring, is associated with an abnormal lipid metabolism and cardiovascular disease. Aims: This study therefore aims to determine the pattern of lipid biomarkers of atherogenesis and their relationship with insulin resistance index in young...
