Excess fat is one of the major risk factors for insulin resistance predisposing to the development of cardiovascular diseases in western countries. We know that obese patients are strongly at risk of cardiovascular diseases, like myocardial infarction or stroke. These diseases are the most frequent cause of death in the adult population, representing a social and economic problem. Today there are not available and useful markers for screening and diagnosis of insulin- resistance in young people. "Easy-to-detect" clinical markers must be found to identify young subjects at risk of cardiovascular diseases. Very interesting the relationship between wrist circumference, its bone composition and insulin resistance.

Background: The Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a marker for insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, while Helicobacter pylori is linked to gastrointestinal diseases and may affect metabolic risks. This study examined the association between the TyG index and H. pylori infection in adults.

Background: Obesity is a chronic disease associated with other associated medical problems, including atherogenic dyslipidemia. Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) has been shown to reduce long-term cardiovascular risk (CVR). Anti-ApoA-1 antibodies (AAA1) are independently associated with cardiovascular disease, which remains a major cause of death in individuals with obesity.

Background: Biological sex influences Alzheimer's disease (AD) development, particularly concerning brain insulin resistance (bIR) and early energy metabolism defects. Biliverdin reductase-A (BVR-A) plays a crucial role in insulin signaling, and its downregulation leads to bIR. However, the sex-related differences in AD neuropathology and underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Background: Diabetes is a modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, and GLUT4, an insulin-dependent transporter, plays a crucial role in insulin-resistant conditions and, consequently, in diabetes development. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between tau pathology and insulin resistance by quantifying GLUT4 expression and glucose concentration.
Method: Initially, SH-SY5Y cells underwent transfection with either a wild-type tau plasmid or a mutant tau plasmid.

Background: Age-related decrease glucose utilization, coupled with insulin resistance, are key features of AD, resulting in reduced glucose utilization/catabolism and oxidative stress generation. Irisin, an exercise-induced hormone promoting mitochondrial biogenesis in adipocytes via PGC-1α, stimulates thermogenic pathways, increases energy expenditure and induces browning of adipose tissue. Further, irisin expression was shown to trigger neuroprotection in AD models.
