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

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
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… Continue reading 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
#Hyperglycaemia is associated with impaired muscle signalling and #aerobic adaptation to exercise
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… Continue reading #Hyperglycaemia is associated with impaired muscle signalling and #aerobic adaptation to exercise
An Afternoon Hummus Snack Affects Diet Quality, Appetite, and Glycemic Control in Healthy Adults
..Thirty-nine adults (age: 26 ± 1 y; BMI: 24.4 ± 0.5 kg/m2) randomly completed the following afternoon snack patterns for 6 d/pattern: hummus and pretzels [HUMMUS; 240 kcal; 6 g protein, 31 g carbohydrate (2 g sugar), 11 g fat]; granola bars [BARS; 240 kcal; 4 g protein, 38 g carbohydrate (16 g sugar), 9… Continue reading An Afternoon Hummus Snack Affects Diet Quality, Appetite, and Glycemic Control in Healthy Adults
