Background And Aims: The relationship between insulin resistance and post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is not known. We aimed to determine the relation between pre-ERCP insulin resistance and risk of PEP, and to evaluate the relationship of insulin resistance with well-established risk factors for PEP.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent ERCP with the diagnosis of choledocolithiasis between January and December 2013 were enrolled in this prospective study. Pre-procedural insulin resistance state and other risk factors were evaluated according to PEP development.
Results: Pancreatitis developed in 16 (11.3 %) of 141 ERCP procedure. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) levels was found statistically significantly higher in patients who developed PEP than the ones who did not (3.37 ± 0.8 vs. 2.38 ± 1.4, p < 0.001). Common bile duct (CBD) diameter of the patients developing PEP was found significantly lower than the non-PEP group (10.1 ± 4 vs. 13.4 ± 4.5 mm, p = 0.01). Mean procedure time was 33.5 min in PEP group and 27.9 min in non-PEP group (p = 0.006). HOMA-IR (OR 2.39), procedure time (OR 1.15), and CBD diameter (OR 0.82) were independent predictors of PEP development.
Conclusions: The presence of insulin resistance is an important risk factor for PEP, and these data can be used as a considerable clue to predict the risk of PEP before ERCP and to decrease related morbidity.

Arsenic exposure can induce liver insulin resistance (IR) and diabetes (DM), but the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the regulation of the onset of diabetes, especially in the progression of IR. This study aimed to investigate the role of circRNAs in arsenic-induced hepatic IR and its underlying mechanism.

: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in children has been increasing, raising concerns about early detection and clinical management. Adipokines, which are secreted by adipose tissue, play a critical role in metabolic regulation and inflammation, while gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), as a liver enzyme, is linked to oxidative stress and metabolic disorders. The objective was to examine the association of circulating adipokines and GGT with metabolic syndrome risk in school-aged children from Northeast Mexico.

Background: Anabolic resistance accelerates muscle loss in aging and obesity, thus predisposing to sarcopenic obesity.
Methods: In this retrospective analysis of a randomized clinical trial, we examined baseline predictors of the adaptive response to three months of home-based resistance exercise, daily physical activity, and protein-based, multi-ingredient supplementation (MIS) in a cohort of free-living, older males ( = 32).
Results: Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that obesity and a Global Risk Index for metabolic syndrome (MetS) were the strongest predictors of Δ% gains in lean mass (TLM and ASM), LM/body fat ratios (TLM/%BF, ASM/FM, and ASM/%BF), and allometric LM (ASMI, TLM/BW, TLM/BMI, ASM/BW), with moderately strong, negative correlations to the adaptive response to polytherapy r = -0.

: It is unknown whether the negative health effects associated with ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are due to their nutritional composition or to the extent of food processing itself. We evaluated the impact of a test meal composed only of UPF, according to the NOVA classification, compared to a similar meal without UPF in adults with obesity. : This is a parallel, randomized trial.

: The ketogenic diet (KD) is a dietary model that can impact metabolic health and microbiota and has been widely discussed in recent years. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 6-week KD on biochemical parameters, gut microbiota, and fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in women with overweight/obesity. : Overall, 15 women aged 26-46 years were included in this study.
