Exosomes were isolated from chorionic villous (CV) explants from both women with Normal Glucose Tolerant (NGT) and GDM pregnancies. Using miRNA sequencing, we...

Insulin sensitivity was determined by euglycaemic insulin clamp. EDD (endothelium-dependent dilation) was determined by flow-mediated dilation using high-resolution...

We examined whether improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors, insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function...

Sprague–Dawley rats were fed either a standard pelleted rat food (low-fat diet) or an HF diet (60% fat) for 8...

...Raymond R. Townsend; Shiv Kapoor; Christopher B. McFadden The literature on salt intake and insulin sensitivity presents a mixed picture, as some studies have shown an increase, whereas others have shown a decrease, in insulin action as sodium intake is enhanced. In some cases, this may relate...

...R. Butler; A.D. Morris; A. D. Struthers 1. Recent evidence shows that skeletal muscle blood flow is an important determinant of insulin sensitivity and that insulin-mediated vasodilatation is nitric oxide dependent. These results have given rise to the hypothesis that endothelial nitric oxide...

The results suggest that intraperitoneal insulin, while resulting in better glycaemic control and improved insulin sensitivity than subcutaneous insulin, increases serum triacylglycerol and total cholesterol and reduces high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, possibly via a direct effect on the liver. 21...
