Marks,MD University of Miami School of Medicine Reprinted with permission from: The Monitor , Vol 1. Number 3, Spring 1996. A publication of the American Diabetes Association/Florida Affiliate, Inc./Southeast Region. This point was strikingly demonstrated by the PROCAM (Prospective Cardiovascular Munster) Study, in which the relationship between various cardiac risk factors and the incidence of heart attack over a four year period was examined in 2,754 men aged 40-65 years. The results showed that the presence of diabetes or high blood pressure alone increased the risk of heart attack by 2.5 times. When both diabetes and high blood pressure were present, the risk was increased 8 times. An abnormal lipid profile increased the risk 16 times; when abnormal lipid levels were present with high blood pressure and/or diabetes, the risk was 20 times higher. Treatment for the described metabolic syndrome therefore aims at treating all of: the features of the syndrome that exist in a given person.

What causes insulin resistance? What is the relationship between insulin resistance and diabetes? ... Insulin Resistance At A Glance What is insulin resistance? Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the beta cells, which are cells that are scattered throughout the pancreas . The insulin produced is released into the blood stream and travels throughout the body. Insulin is an important hormone that has many actions within the body. Most of the actions of insulin are directed at metabolism (control) of carbohydrates (sugars and starches), lipids (fats), and proteins . Insulin also is important in regulating the cells of the body including their growth. Insulin resistance (IR) is a condition in which the cells of the body become resistant to the effects of insulin, that is, the normal response to a given amount of insulin is reduced. As a result, higher levels of insulin are needed in order for insulin to have its effects. The resistance is seen with both the body’s own insulin ( endogenous ) and if insulin is given through injection ( exogenous What causes insulin resistance?

The answer is very simple: you may already be suffering from it. We believe Syndrome X is a disorder that most people seriously risk developing by the time they reach middle age, if not before. Syndrome X can explain why you feel lousy today such as being tired and fuzzy minded. It can also age you faster than normal, setting the stage for catastrophic health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer, and other age-related diseases. A syndrome is a condition defined by a cluster of related symptoms or disorders. In this case, Syndrome X refers specifically to a group of health problems that can include insulin resistance (the inability to properly deal with dietary carbohydrates and sugars), abnormal blood fats (such as elevated cholesterol and triglycerides), overweight, and high blood pressure.

What can I do to improve my health? Insulin Resistance Syndrome Printer-friendly version Email this article What is insulin resistance syndrome? Insulin is a kind of hormone. It helps your body use the sugar in the food you eat as fuel. In some people, the tissues stop responding to insulin. Doctors refer to this condition as insulin resistance. If you have insulin resistance, your body will make more and more insulin, but because the tissues don't respond to it, your body won't be able to use sugar properly. Insulin resistance often goes along with other health problems, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart attack. When a person has many of these problems together, doctors call it insulin resistance syndrome. Return to top How do I know I have insulin resistance syndrome? No simple test can tell that you have insulin resistance syndrome. If one or more of the following is true for you, your doctor may suspect you have insulin resistance syndrome. One (or more) of your brothers, sisters or parents has been diagnosed with diabetes.

How are insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and type 2 diabetes linked? What causes insulin resistance? What are the symptoms of insulin resistance and pre-diabetes? ... Points to Remember Insulin resistance is a silent condition that increases the chances of developing diabetes and heart disease. Learning about insulin resistance is the first step you can take toward making lifestyle changes that will help you prevent diabetes and other health problems. What does insulin do? After you eat, the food is broken down into glucose, the simple sugar that is the main source of energy for the body's cells. But your cells cannot use glucose without insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin helps the cells take in glucose and convert it to energy. When the pancreas does not make enough insulin or the body is unable to use the insulin that is present, the cells cannot use glucose. Excess glucose builds up in the bloodstream, setting the stage for diabetes. Being obese or overweight affects the way insulin works in your body. Extra fat tissue can make your body resistant to the action of insulin, but exercise helps insulin work well.

35. Syndrome X And Insulin Resistance Syndrome X is a new term for a cluster of conditions, that, when occurringtogether, may indicate a predisposition to diabetes, hypertension and heart http://www.ext.colostate.edu/PUBS/columnnn/nn971022.html

@import "/styles/coopext_adv.css"; Syndrome X and Insulin Resistance By Pat Kendall, Ph.D., R.D. Food Science and Human Nutrition Specialist Colorado State University Cooperative Extension October 22, 1997 You may recently have heard in the news about a sinister-sounding condition called Syndrome X. No, this isn't a newly discovered disease, but rather a new term for a cluster of conditions, that, when occurring together, may indicate a predisposition to diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. The term was first coined by a group of researchers at Stanford University to describe a cluster of symptoms, including high blood pressure, high triglycerides, decreased HDL and obesity, which tend to appear together in some individuals and increase their risk for diabetes and heart disease. HDL, known as the good cholesterol, and triglycerides are components of fat found in the blood. The term also has been linked with another terminsulin resistance. Insulin is the hormone responsible for getting energy, in the form of glucose, or blood sugar, into our cells. A person who is insulin-resistant has cells that respond sluggishly to the action of insulin. Following a meal, this person will have elevated glucose circulating in the blood, signaling yet more insulin to be released from the pancreas until the glucose is taken up by the cells. Experts suggest that 10 to 25 percent of the adult population may be resistant to insulin to some degree.

Bargains Forums Visit our Diabetes Forums to discuss various diabetes topics. Back Take A Slice Out Of Insulin Resistance The Apple Figure An apple may be good for you, but an apple figure with excess weight in the middle, isn't. The risk for heart disease goes up two and a half times for men with diabetes and the apple figure, and rises eightfold for women with diabetes and this shape. Besides inherited genes, controllable lifestyle factors have been shown to contribute to excess fat deposits in the middle. These include alcohol, smoking, stress, lack of exercise, and excess fat or simple sugars in the diet. Why is the apple figure risky? Fat cells located in the abdomen release fat into the blood more easily than fat cells found elsewhere. Release of fat begins 3 to 4 hours after the last meal compared to many more hours for other fat cells. This easy release shows up as higher triglyceride (TG) and free fatty acid levels. Free fatty acids themselves cause insulin resistance. One out of every four people in the U.S., or 80 million Americans, have insulin resistance and they are more prone to heart disease, even though they never actually develop diabetes. Excess cardiac risks found with an apple figure include: higher TG levels, lower HDL (protective cholesterol), higher blood pressure, diabetes (Type 2r), and kidney disease. Often there is a family history of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or cholesterol problems.
