Objective(s):In insulin resistance, the insulin action in liver, muscles and adipocytes decreases and result in hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hyperinsulinemia. In this study we evaluate the effect of Zataria multiflora extract on insulin sensitivity in high fructose fed insulin resistant rats, since this extract was shown antihyperglycemic effect in streptozotocin induced diabetes in rats. ...

Insulin resistance is a condition in which insulin signaling and action are impaired in insulin sensitive tissues and results in hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our previous studies have shown that rosa damascena has antihyperglycemic effects on diabetic and normal rats. Therefore, we conducted a study to evaluate the effect of this medicinal plant on insulin sensiti...

Background: There is not any in vivo studies that shows inducing of euglycemia by vanadyl is independent from plasma insulin.  Therefore in the present study we planned to investigate the antidiabetic effects of vanadyl in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Rats became severely diabetic by an IV injection of 50-55mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ), 15 days after the injection, the blood glucose of ...

the aim of the present research was to study the effect of resistance training on metabolic profile and insulin sensitivity in obese men. for this purpose, 16 obese males (age 35-48) were voluntarily selected and randomly assigned to two groups: resistance training and control group. subjects' blood samples were gathered in fasting state. the experimental subjects received resistance train...

Diabetes is a non-communicable disease linked to reduced or diminished insulin levels, sensitivity, and mode of action. It can be easily defined as that affects the body’s ability produce adequate insulin.
