Midlife lipid and glucose levels are associated with Alzheimer’s disease

On By aledopressIn Diet, Endocrinology, Neurology

IntroductionIt is unknown whether vascular and metabolic diseases assessed in early adulthood are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) later in life. MethodsAssociation of AD with lipid fractions, glucose, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and smoking obtained prospectively from 4932 Framingham Heart Study (FHS) participants across nine quadrennial examinations was evaluated using Cox proportional hazard …

Fasting plasma #glucose level in the range of 90 to 99 mg/dL and the risk of the onset of type 2 #diabetes: Population-based Panasonic cohort study 2

On By aledopressIn Endocrinology

As the association between fasting glucose concentration from 90 to 99 mg/dL and the onset of type 2 diabetes is still controversial, we aimed to assess it in 37,148 Japanese individuals with normal plasma glucose concentration. Materials and MethodsThis long-term retrospective cohort study included individuals with medical checkup at Panasonic Corporation from 2008 to 2018. …

Acute and long-term disruption of #glycometabolic control after #SARS-CoV-2 infection

On By aledopressIn Endocrinology, Infectivology

Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are reported to have a greater prevalence of hyperglycaemia. Cytokine release as a consequence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection may precipitate the onset of metabolic alterations by affecting glucose homeostasis. Here we describe abnormalities in glycometabolic control, insulin resistance and beta cell function in patients with …

The #triglyceride- #glucose index is associated with the severity of hepatic #steatosis and the presence of liver #fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a cross-sectional study in Chinese adults

On By aledopressIn Diet, Gastroenterology, Hepatology

The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) is a reliable predictor of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Its association with the severity of hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis in NAFLD is poorly understood. This study evaluated the relationship between these factors in NAFLD. ..The TyG index was significantly correlated with the severity of hepatic steatosis and the presence …

#Hyperglycaemia is associated with impaired muscle signalling and #aerobic adaptation to exercise

On By aledopressIn Diet, Endocrinology, Sports

Increased aerobic exercise capacity, as a result of exercise training, has important health benefits. However, some individuals are resistant to improvements in exercise capacity, probably due to undetermined genetic and environmental factors. Here, we show that exercise-induced improvements in aerobic capacity are blunted and aerobic remodelling of skeletal muscle is impaired in several animal models …
