Introduction: Metabolic Syndrome (Met S) is reported to be associated with sub clinical hypothyroidism (SCH). The aim of our study is to evaluate the role of SCH in association with adiponectin levels causing insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome.
Materials And Method: We recruited 100 study subjects; out of which 50 were cases of Met S, which were further divided into two groups based on presence and absence of SCH and 50 were healthy controls. Serum insulin, serum T3, T4, TSH were measured by chemiluminisence based immunoassay and serum adiponectin was measured by ELISA.
Results: Mean TSH levels were significantly higher in Met S cases as compare to control. Out of 50 cases of Met S, 22 (44 %) had SCH. Mean serum adiponectin were significantly lower in Met S cases as compare to control. On Pearson's correlation analysis, TSH showed significant positive correlation with HOMA-IR and negative correlation with adiponectin levels. Strong association was found on the likelihood of low levels of adiponectin in Met S cases.
Conclusions: Met S cases showed insulin resistance and underlying SCH. SCH in Met S may cause altered adipocytes physiology which is associated with decreased release of insulin sensitising adiponectin which may lead to insulin resistance and future development of type II DM and associated co morbidities. Therefore, Met S cases should be screened for SCH and adiponectin levels thereafter. Also, our recommendation is SCH should be treated appropriately to attenuate insulin resistance and development of type II DM in Met S.

Objectives: There is a relationship between insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) has been reported as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance. This study aimed to investigate the association between eGDR and the incident MASLD, and compare the ability to predict incident MASLD with other insulin resistance markers.
Methods: Retrospective cohort data from a health check-up program were analyzed.

Diabetes is a leading cause of global mortality and disability, and its economic burden is substantial. This Review focuses on type 2 diabetes, which makes up 90-95% of all diabetes cases. Type 2 diabetes involves a progressive loss of insulin secretion often alongside insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Background: Maintaining optimum glycaemic control is essential to reducing comorbidity and mortality in diabetes. However, research indicates that <50 % of patients achieve their target HbA1c ranges. Laboratory studies suggest that olive leaf extract (OLE) may improve glycaemic control, however clinical studies in persons with diabetes are lacking.

Diabetes mellitus, characterized by insufficient insulin secretion and impaired insulin efficacy, disrupts carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism. The global diabetic population is expected to double by 2025, from 380 million, posing a significant health challenge. Most diabetic individuals fall into the type 1 or type 2 categories, and diabetes adversely affects various organs, such as the kidneys, liver, nervous system, reproductive system, and eyes.

Sedentary lifestyles and prolonged physical inactivity are often linked to poor mental and physical health as well as an increased risk of a number of chronic illnesses, including cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular problems. Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), as the new disease, has emerged as the world's leading cause of illness. Despite having its roots in the West, this issue has now completely globalized due to the development of the Western way of life throughout the world.
