Effects of dietary changes on cellular insulin binding and in vivo insulin sensitivity

Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental
H Beck-NielsenN S Sørensen

Abstract

The effect of a low-sucrose, low-fat diet on insulin sensitivity, insulin binding to monocytes, and insulin secretion in nonketotic diabetic patients was studied. Ten obese diabetics were studied for 1 yr before and during treatment with a 1200-1500-kcal diet, whereas six diabetics of normal weight were studied for 3 mo before and after treatment with a 2200-2400-kcal diet. In the obese group, no change was found in the insulin response to i.v. injection of glucose during treatment (p greater than 0.1), but the insulin sensitivity was normalized after 1 yr (p less than 0.01). The clinical normalization and the improvement of insulin sensitivity were accompanied by a parallel normalization of the binding of insulin to monocytes (p less than 0.01). In the group of normal-weight diabetics, both the insulin sensitivity (p less than 0.05) and the insulin binding to monocytes (p less than 0.05) were normalized after a 3-mo treatment period, but the insulin secretion increased (p less than 0.05) without reaching normal values. We conclude that most nonketotic diabetic patients can be controlled by diet treatment alone. The mechanism of action of the low-fat, low-sucrose diet seems for the greatest part to be a normalization of the ins...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
