Selected Sources Introduction Metabolic complications associated with HIV disease and its treatment including insulin resistance and diabetes, abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels (dyslipidemia), and body fat gain or loss remain a medical mystery and a topic of intense interest for AIDS researchers and people with HIV alike. While these complications sometimes have been collectively referred to as "lipodystrophy syndrome," it remains unclear whether or how they are related and what causes them (see "HAART Attack: Metabolic Disorders during Long-Term Antiretroviral Therapy," BETA , April 1999).

Condition Intervention Phase Stroke Myocardial Infarction Diabetes Drug: pioglitazone Phase III MedlinePlus related topics: Diabetes Heart Attack Stroke Study Type: Interventional Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Control, Efficacy Study Further Study Details: Expected Total Enrollment: 3136 Recurrent stroke and heart attack are major sources of illness and death among the 400,000 Americans who survive a stroke each year. Within 4 years of the initial stroke, 16 percent of patients will have a recurrent stroke and 9 percent will have a heart attack. Prevention of further vascular events, therefore, is critically important to the health of patients with stroke. The IRIS trial will test a new treatment strategy based on evidence linking insulin resistance to increased risk for stroke and other vascular diseases. Insulin resistance is a condition in which insulin, a normal human hormone, does not work effectively because the body is resistant to its effects. This condition can lead to diabetes and is thought to cause blood vessel disease, including stroke and heart attack, in patients with and without diabetes.

However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. Insulin Resistance - Syndrome X Synonyms: The metabolic syndrome, Syndrome 'X', Metabolic syndrome X, Reaven's syndrome This syndrome (first described in 1983) is characterised by insulin resistance, glucose intolerance with compensatory hyperinsulinaemia, hypertension and dyslipidaemia. Central obesity is characteristic, overt diabetes mellitus (type II); and atherosclerosis develop over time. It is more common in certain ethnic groups: Native or Mexican-Americans, Southern Asians. Other Associated Conditions Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Gestational diabetes Associated Features Insulin Resistance Fasting Hyperinsulinaemia Impaired glucose tolerance Type II Diabetes Mellitus free fatty acids elevated Atherogenic Dyslipidaemias Triglycerides elevated Small, dense LDL cholesterol is raised HDL cholesterol is reduced Essential hypertension Non-dipping pattern of nocturnal BP Salt Sensitivity Central Obesity Endothelial dysfunction plasminogen activator inhibitor Dysfibrinolysis platelet aggregation Microalbuminuria Hyperuricaemia Haemoglobin and haematocrit often elevated Growth hormone deficit Aging and smoking It seems that inflammation is also an important risk factor with tumour necrosis factor being elevated, especially in the young. Obese compared with non-obese adolescents exhibit higher concentrations of TNF-alpha and its soluble receptors, and the higher TNF-alpha concentrations are associated with several components of metabolic syndrome in obese adolescents

On this page: Diagnosis Medical Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping insulin resistance Diagnosis Insulin Resistance What is insulin resistance? Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the Islets of Langerhans, smallgroups of cells that are scattered throughout the pancreas. The insulin is released into the blood and travels to all parts of the body.  Insulin is animportant hormone that has many actions within the body. Most of the actions ofinsulin are directed at metabolism (control) of carbohydrates (sugars andstarches), lipids (fats), and proteins . Insulin also isimportant in regulating the cells of the body including their growth. Insulin resistance (IR) is a condition in which the cells of the body becomeresistant to the effects of insulin, that is, the normal response to a givenamount of insulin is reduced. As a result, higher levels of insulin are neededin order for insulin to have its effects. What causes insulin resistance?

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy What is the role of insulin resistance? Insulin resistance and hyperinsulemia appear prevalently in hypertensive individuals. The question might be asked: what is the role of insulin resistance in the risk profile and pathogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)? An association between insulin resistance syndrome and the presence of LVH has been demonstrated. Even stronger findings are presented by Lind whose analysis yielded only insulin resistance as significantly associated with LVH, and it accounted for 43% of the variability of left ventricular mass. Whether it is the insulin resistance or the hyperinsulenimia that is the true factor in the development of LVH is not clear. A study of insulin resistance, glucose metabolism, and left ventricular mass, found that insulin resistance but not glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinemia were responsible for accelerating the pathogenesis of LVH and carotid wall thickening A Finnish study of the activity of insulin in the cardiac muscle is and excellent clue to the mechanism of action of this phenomenon . They examined glucose uptake rates in the muscle, and observed that in hypertensives, whole-body and femoral glucose uptake rates were lower than the controls. The uptake in the myocardium, however, was elevated compared to the controls. The authors suggest that insulin-stimulated glucose uptake is supressed in the skeletal muscle, but up-regulated in the myocardium in proportion to cardiac workload in essential hypertension.

A recent study has found that insulin resistance syndrome, or "syndrome X," clusters in families with a history of early heart disease a heart attack or blood vessel blockage before age 55 in men and before age 65 in women. Insulin resistance syndrome refers to a combination of risk factors for type 2 diabetes, including chronically elevated insulin levels, low HDL ("good") cholesterol, abdominal obesity and high blood pressure. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body no longer responds to insulin , the body's key blood sugar-regulating hormone. As a result, levels of insulin in the blood become elevated and over time, can

Insulin Resistance Significance of Insulin Resistance Phenotypes The association of elevated fasting and stimulated insulin levels with hypertension and blood pressure levels has been confirmed in several large population-based studies [ ]. Although insulin sensitivity per se was not directly measured, the results of such studies have been widely interpreted as demonstrating a relationship between insulin sensitivity and blood pressure in the general population. In the FBPP, fasting insulin and glucose levels will be available in all subjects. While full characterization of insulin deficiency and resistance requires detailed testing, such as frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance testing or euglycemic clamps, one can obtain estimates of these important parameters in population studies based on homeostatic functions of fasting insulin and glucose [

Comprehensive review of the latest research into Insulin Resistance and Diabetes Insulin Resistance and Diabetes by Hans R. Larsen, MSc ChE Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder in the world today. It is estimated that over 16 million American suffer from the disease[1]. Diabetes manifests itself through abnormally high blood glucose levels and comes in two major forms – insulin-dependent (type 1) and non-insulin-dependent (type 2). Type 1 diabetes most often occurs before the age of 20 years and involves progressive destruction of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes is usually diagnosed after the age of 40 years and is primarily caused by a defect in the mechanism that governs the uptake of glucose by individual cells. The treatment of type 1 involves daily insulin injections while type 2 can often be managed by diet and exercise. Type 2 diabetes is, by far, the most common and accounts for approximately 90% of all cases. It has a fairly strong genetic component and should always be suspected in obese individuals since about 90% of all diabetics are obese. Fatigue, frequent urination, abnormal thirst, increased appetite, blurred vision, and slow healing of skin, gum and urinary infections are common symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Diagnosis Prior to 1997 diabetes was suspected if an individual had a least two fasting glucose readings of 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) on two separate occasions. In 1997 the American Diabetes Association lowered the diabetes cut-off point to 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) on two separate occasions. So now the "rules" are[2]:
