Background: To investigate the correlation between the variations of cortisol and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels with insulin resistance and glucolipid metabolism in gestational glucose diabetics.

Methods: The study included 110 pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus in the GDM group, and 130 healthy pregnant women in the control group. Data collection, examination of relevant indexes, and comparison of differences in indexes between groups were conducted. Pearson correlation analysis was utilized to identify risk variables associated with GDM development, while binary logistic regression was employed to determine risk factors for GDM development.

Results: The GDM group showed significantly greater levels of FPG, HbA1c, FINS, TG, FFA, Lp-PLA2, HOMA-IR, Cortisol, and IGF-1 compared to the control group (P<0.05), but considerably lower levels of SHBG, and HOMA-β. HOMA-IR was found to be positively correlated with FPG, HbA1c, FINS, TG, FFA, Lp-PLA2, Cortisol and IGF-1, whereas, negatively correlated with SHBG. FINS and SHBG were found to be independent protective factors for GDM (OR=0.463, 0.801, P<0.05), whereas, HbA1c, TG, FFA, and gestational BMI were found to be independent risk factors for GDM (OR=1.992, 4.234, 1.990, 1.629, P<0.05).

Conclusions: SHBG, IGF-1, and Cortisol are all linked to glucose-lipid metabolism indices, and aberrant serum hormone expression is a major contributor to insulin resistance.

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is a global public health concern and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Insulin resistance (IR) plays a crucial role in HTN-related metabolic dysfunction, but its assessment remains challenging. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and its derivatives (TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR) have emerged as reliable IR markers.

Background: Triglyceride-glucose-BMI (TyG-BMI) index is a surrogate marker of insulin resistance and an important predictor of cardiovascular disease. However, the predictive value of TyG-BMI index in the progression of non-severe aortic stenosis (AS) is still unclear.

Methods: The present retrospective observational study was conducted using patient data from Aortic valve diseases RISk facTOr assessmenT andprognosis modeL construction (ARISTOTLE).

Background & Aim: Metabolic and cardiovascular health outcomes are strongly influenced by diet. Dietary habits established in early childhood may persist into adulthood. This study aimed to examine the association between dietary patterns at both 2 and 8 years of age, explaining the maximum variability of high- and low-quality fats, sugars, and fibre, and cardiometabolic markers at age 8 years.

Background: The triglyceride‒glucose index (TyG index) is a reliable surrogate for insulin resistance (IR) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is associated with cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have reported that H-type hypertension is likewise a predictor of adverse events in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the relationship between the TyG index and prognosis in patients with H-type hypertension combined with CHD has not yet been reported.

Diabetes (DM) can occur as a complication of acute, acute recurrent, or chronic pancreatitis, affecting more than 30% of adults with chronic pancreatitis. Data on the pathophysiology and management are limited, especially in pediatric population. Proposed mechanisms include insulin deficiency, insulin resistance, decreased pancreatic polypeptide, and possible beta-cell autoimmunity (in a small subset).
