AI Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how insulin resistance affects heart function in people with type 2 diabetes, comparing a well-known measure (HOMA-IR) to a more accurate method (hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp analysis).
- - 34 individuals with type 2 diabetes were analyzed, finding that insulin sensitivity (ISI) was significantly connected to heart function measures, while HOMA-IR showed no correlation.
- - Results suggest that high insulin sensitivity is an important predictor of better heart function (measured by E/A ratio and LVEF), indicating a potential link between insulin resistance and heart problems in type 2 diabetes patients.
Article Abstract
Aims: Whereas homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), an easily measured but limited index of insulin resistance, has been shown to correlate with impairment of cardiac function in individuals without diabetes, the pathological relevance of insulin resistance to the development of cardiac dysfunction in individuals with type 2 diabetes has remained unclear. Here we investigated the relation between left ventricular (LV) function as assessed by echocardiography and insulin resistance as evaluated by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp analysis, the gold standard for measurement of this parameter, in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: This retrospective study included 34 individuals with type 2 diabetes who underwent both hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp analysis and echocardiography. Both the insulin sensitivity index (ISI) as determined by glucose clamp analysis as well as HOMA-IR were determined as measures of insulin resistance. The ratio of the peak early- to late-diastolic mitral inflow velocities (E/A) and the LV ejection fraction (LVEF) were determined as measures of diastolic and systolic function, respectively.
Results: The ISI was significantly correlated with both the E/A ratio and LVEF (correlation coefficients of 0.480 and 0.360, respectively), whereas HOMA-IR was not correlated with either cardiac parameter. Multivariate analysis revealed that ISI was an independent predictor for both a high log [E/A] (P = 0.031) and a high LVEF (P = 0.045).
Conclusions: Insulin resistance as evaluated by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp analysis may be causally related to LV diastolic and systolic dysfunction in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Cachexia is a multifactorial metabolic syndrome characterized by weight and skeletal muscle loss caused by underlying illnesses such as cancer, heart failure, and renal failure. Inflammation, insulin resistance, increased muscle protein degradation, decreased food intake, and anorexia are the primary pathophysiological drivers of cachexia. Cachexia causes physical deterioration and functional impairment, loss of quality of life, lower response to active treatment, and ultimately morbidity and mortality, while the difficulties in tackling cachexia in its advanced phases and the heterogeneity of the syndrome among patients require an individualized and multidisciplinary approach from an early stage.

: This study explores the impact of brown rice bran powder (BRBP), known for its beneficial components, such as dietary fiber and γ-oryzanol, on individuals suffering from metabolic syndrome (MetS). /: In this eight-week open-label controlled trial, fifty participants with MetS were randomly assigned to either a control group, which received a standard diet (SDiet), or an intervention group, which incorporated 15 grams of BRBP daily into their diet. Demographic, anthropometric and clinical data were collected, and blood samples were taken to assess metabolic factors and antioxidant enzyme activities.

Purpose Of Review: High blood pressure (BP) or hypertension (HTN) remains key risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Circulating fatty acids (FAs) in the blood can affect directly cardiovascular hemodynamics and serves as building blocks for endocrine mediators modifying inflammatory processes and vascular function. This review aims to describe optimal circulating FA profiles for BP to adjust dietary recommendations for HTN prevention.
