Link between insulin resistance and skeletal muscle extracellular matrix remodeling

Róża Aleksandrowicz and Marek Strączkowski

muscle to insulin, defined as insulin resistance (IR), contribute to the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and cardiovascular diseases. Skeletal muscle insulin action is decreased in prediabetes and T2DM, but it also may be largely

Does sex hormone-binding globulin cause insulin resistance during pubertal growth?

Shenglong Le, Leiting Xu, Moritz Schumann, Na Wu, Timo Törmäkangas, Markku Alén, Sulin Cheng, and Petri Wiklund

substantially during puberty ( 6 , 7 ). Along these lines, low serum SHBG level has been associated with increased adiposity and insulin resistance in children and adolescents ( 3 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ); therefore, it has been hypothesized that SHBG

different cohorts including men and women, respectively, suggesting a causal effect. The mechanism behind the association between SHGB and type 2 diabetes is not fully understood, but may be mediated through insulin resistance ( 5 ). In a meta

Sexual dimorphism in insulin resistance in a metabolic syndrome rat model

The association between serum testosterone and insulin resistance: a longitudinal study

Kristin Ottarsdottir, Anna G Nilsson, Margareta Hellgren, Ulf Lindblad, and Bledar Daka

( 10 ). On the other hand, low testosterone levels increase the accumulation of visceral body fat, which increases insulin resistance. This is illustrated by the fact that body fat increases in men with prostate cancer undergoing treatment resulting in

Insulin resistance associates with hepatic lobular inflammation in subjects with obesity

methods are NAFLD Activity Score (NAS) and Steatosis, Activity, and Fibrosis (SAF) score ( 3 ). Importantly, patients with obesity who develop NAFLD are also more prone to develop other metabolic consequences of obesity such as insulin resistance (IR

Adrenal hyperandrogenism does not deteriorate insulin resistance and lipid profile in women with PCOS

Stavroula A Paschou, Eleni Palioura, Dimitrios Ioannidis, Panagiotis Anagnostis, Argyro Panagiotakou, Vasiliki Loi, Georgios Karageorgos, Dimitrios G Goulis, and Andromachi Vryonidou

Introduction Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism ( 1 ). It is often accompanied by insulin resistance ( 2 ) and abnormal lipid profile ( 3 , 4 ). Several studies have shown that
