Objective: To investigate the relationship between genetic variation of Furin and insulin resistance in Chinese Kazakh population.
Methods: Based on a cross-sectional epidemiological study in a Chinese Kazakh population, a case-control study was conducted. All the sequence variants located promoter and exon regions of Furin were identified by directly sequencing of PCR product in 50 (25 males) individuals with insulin resistance, which were randomly chosen from the study population. The representative polymorphism was detected by TaqMan PCR in 861 subjects (366 males, 254 in case group and 607 in control group). The relationship between genetic variation of Furin and insulin resistance in this cohort was analyzed.
Results: Twelve genetic variations in Furin were identified by sequencing 50 individuals with insulin resistance and 4 common SNPs (rs6226, rs6227, rs2071410, and rs4932178) were selected as representatives for genotyping in this Chinese Kazakh population. The rs6226, rs6227, rs2071410, and rs4932178 polymorphisms were successfully genotyped. The distribution of the genotypes of rs6226, rs6227, rs2071410, and rs4932178 polymorphism was similar between case and controls (all P > 0.05). The homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) levels was also similar among individuals with different genotypes (all P > 0.05).
Conclusion: The genetic variation of Furin is not associated with insulin resistance in this cohort of Chinese Kazakh population.

Tailoring Exercise Prescription for Effective Diabetes Glucose Management.

Context: Physical activity, exercise, or both are a staple of lifestyle management approaches both for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). While the current literature supports both physical activity and exercise for improving glycemic control, reducing cardiovascular risk, maintaining proper weight, and enhancing overall well-being, the optimal prescription regimen remains debated.
Evidence Acquisition: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar databases for relevant studies on exercise, insulin sensitivity, and glycemic control in people with T1DM and T2DM.

The effects of wheat and oat dietary fiber (DF) alone or combined on T2DM remain unclear. In this research, / diabetic mice were fed with diets containing 10% insoluble wheat dietary fiber (WDF), 10% insoluble oat dietary fiber (ODF), and 10% WODF (mixture of WDF and ODF, WDF : ODF = 1 : 1) for 8 weeks. The results showed that WDF, ODF, and WODF all reduced the body weight and fasting blood glucose (FBG) and improved oral glucose tolerance in / mice.

encodes three regulatory subunits of class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), each associating with any of three catalytic subunits, namely p110α, p110β, or p110δ. Constitutional mutations cause diseases with a genotype-phenotype relationship not yet fully explained: heterozygous loss-of-function mutations cause SHORT syndrome, featuring insulin resistance and short stature attributed to reduced p110α function, while heterozygous activating mutations cause immunodeficiency, attributed to p110δ activation and known as APDS2. Surprisingly, APDS2 patients do not show features of p110α hyperactivation, but do commonly have SHORT syndrome-like features, suggesting p110α hypofunction.

Background: Low adherence to Oral Antidiabetic Drugs (OADs) in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) leads to complications, death, and increased healthcare costs.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of medication adherence education interventions for the clinical outcomes of adults with T2DM.
Materials And Methods: Seventy adults with T2DM from an outpatient clinic in the City of Ardabil, Iran, participated in this study.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants considerably affect diabetes mellitus by disturbing mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, oxidative stress response, and even insulin secretion. The m.3243 A > G variants is associated with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD), where early onset diabetes and hearing loss are prominent features.
