Polycystic ovary syndrome 1 is diagnosed in about 4-8% of women of childbearing age and is,therefore one of the most common endocrinopathies. The exact pathogenetic mechanism of PCOS is not fully discovered. Some women with PCOS have elevated levels of lutropin, which is considered to be the
Insulin resistance and the accompanying hyperinsulinemia also lead to the development of multiple metabolic abnormalities which are responsible, at least in part, for the excessive risk of coronary heart disease in T2DM , non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and impaired diastolic left ventricular
Nutritional therapy for diabetes mellitus is widely accepted as safe and affordable when compared to pharmacotherapy. However, the efficacy of the present state of nutritional therapy based on current recommendations is poor. It is estimated that nutritional therapy is able to reduce HbA1c levels by
Background The epidemics of obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis are increasing worldwide. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), for a long time unnoted in the metabolic field, is becoming recognized as a condition possibly involved in the pathogenesis of these
Obese children are at risk of metabolic and cardiovascular complications both during pediatric age and later and they often show components of metabolic syndrome, such as dyslipidemia, hypertension and disturbed glucose metabolism . These complications are strictly associated with insulin
By the year 2050, it is estimated that more than half of the Singapore population will be overweight or obese, defined as having a body mass index (BMI, calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) equal to or greater than 25 kg/m2 (Phan et al. 2014). This is
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to atherosclerosis continues to be the leading single cause of death in industrialized countries. High serum lipid levels, and especially high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, have been demonstrated to strongly and directly correlate with CVD risks
After consumption of a meal, pancreatic secretions of various digestive enzymes results in the breakdown of carbohydrates into monosaccharides including glucose. These sugars are subsequently absorbed through the intestinal lumen, resulting in an increased plasma glucose concentration. In response
It is well known that insulin resistance increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, which substantially impact mortality and morbidity and presents a significant economic burden. Energy restriction with or without exercise has been demonstrated to attenuate/reverse the
It is generally accepted that type 2 diabetes (T2D) arises from the progression of insulin resistance (IR), with hyperinsulinemia (HI) as a compensatory response. The possibility that HI can precede and contribute to insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic syndrome (MS) has been suggested but not
The main objective is to evaluate the effect of the combination of metformin / inulin on clinical, urodynamic parameters as well as metabolic and inflammatory profile in patients with benign prostate hypertrophy and metabolic syndrome.
The investigators conducted a double-blind trial, randomized, on
The main objective was to compare the effect of the administration of Metformin/agave inulin vs. Agave inulin on adiponectin in patients with MetS. The investigators conducted a double-blinded randomized trial, on 4 groups, each group with 10 male patients of 40-80 years of age with METS diagnosed
The symptoms of PCOS are anovulation, resulting in irregular menstruation (amenorrhea and oligomenorrhea) ovulation-related infertility, and polycystic ovaries, often associated with obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol levels. The level of serum insulin and insulin resistance are higher
