This experiment was designed to investigate the correlation between abdominal obesity and insulin resistance (IR), growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). To do this experiment, 200 patients with T2DM were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. They were divided into the control group (T2DM without abdominal obesity) and the observation group (T2DM combined with abdominal obesity) according to the diagnostic criteria of abdominal obesity. General data and biochemical indices were recorded from all patients. Results showed that 97 patients (48.50%, 97/200) with abdominal obesity were included in the observation group, and 103 patients (51.50%,103/200) without abdominal obesity were included in the control group. Meanwhile, the body weight, BMI, waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio were higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the visceral fat in the observation group, TC, and TG were higher (P<0.05) compared with the control group (Visceral Fat, 92.55±3.07 vs 87.63±3.14. TC, 5.14±0.48 vs 4.97±0.51), and TG,1.89±0.13 vs 1.53±0.16). In addition, the levels of FBG, FINS and HOMA-IR were higher (P<0.05) in the observation group than those in the control group (FBG, 13.06± 2.17 vs 10.62±2.35. FINS, 16.25±2.14 vs 13.33±3.21. HOMA-IR, 9.43±1.90 vs 6.29±2.10). However, the levels of GH and IGF-1 were lower (P<0.05) in the observation group than those in the control group (GH, 1.16±0.08 vs 1.24±0.11. IGF-1, 125.14±11.46 vs 135.71±12.33). Spearman's correlation analysis showed that abdominal obesity was positively correlated with IR (R0.372, P=0.000) in patients with T2DM, while negatively correlated with GH (R=-0.271, P=0.000) and IGF-1(R-0.219, P=0.000) levels. In conclusion, abdominal obesity in patients with T2DM is positively associated with IR, and negatively correlated with GH and IGF-1 levels. Thus, improvement of IR as well as regulating the levels of growth hormone and IGF-1 might play crucial roles in the early prevention and efficient clinical treatment of T2DM with abdominal obesity patients.

Nutritional epidemiology aims to link dietary exposures to chronic disease, but the instruments for evaluating dietary intake are inaccurate. One way to identify unreliable data and the sources of errors is to compare estimated intakes with the total energy expenditure (TEE). In this study, we used the International Atomic Energy Agency Doubly Labeled Water Database to derive a predictive equation for TEE using 6,497 measures of TEE in individuals aged 4 to 96 years.

Purpose: Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are major risk factors for hepatic steatosis. Diet or bariatric surgery can reduce liver volume, fat content, and inflammation. However, little is known about their effects on liver function, as evaluated here using the LiMAx test.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a common surgical treatment for morbid obesity, but rare complications involving the excluded gastric remnant can pose significant challenges. A 65-year-old female with a history of RYGB presented with sudden onset of left upper quadrant abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and loss of appetite. Laboratory tests revealed leukocytosis.

Background: Obesity is an alarmingly increasing global public health issue. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common bariatric surgery owing to its simplicity, effectiveness, and low complication rates. The complications can be classified as early or late, with fistula formation being one of the most severe complications.

Recent studies have suggested that the interaction between diet and an individual's genetic predisposition can determine the likelihood of obesity and various metabolic disorders. The current study aimed to examine the association of dietary branched-chain amino acids(BCAAs) and aromatic amino acids(AAAs) with the expression of the leptin and FTO genes in the visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues of individuals undergoing surgery. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 136 Iranian adults, both men and women, aged ≥18 years.
