background: nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (nash) is part of a broad spectrum of nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases that can lead to cirrhosis. to date, there is no effective medical treatment for nash. we aim to compare the effect of aerobic exercise in conjunction with diet to diet alone on the improvement of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in patients with nash. materials and methods:...

conclusions we confirmed that serum opg concentrations reduce in obese children. however, no correlation was identified between opg and insulin resistance. opg levels are not meaningful in the diagnosis of nafld in children with obesity. methods this was a prospective, cross-sectional, controlled study that was conducted in the department of pediatrics at bagcilar training and research hospital...

background: the aim of this study was to assess the association between insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) in chinese adults. methods: fifty five subjects with nafld and 55 controls were enrolled for the study. waist circumference, blood pressure, plasma triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose concentrations ...

background: omega 3 and vitamin e are two critical nutrients which include beneficial effects in coronary artery disease (cad). the aim of this study was to assess the effects of omega 3 alone supplementation or in combination with vitamin e on serum glucose and lipid levels and insulin resistance in cad patients. methods: participants of this clinical trial included 60 male patients with cad w...

background and aims: urtica dioica as a medicinal herb due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and hypoglycemic effects, improve type 2 diabetes and decrease inflammation, fibrosis and necrosis as the signs of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) as the most important factor of infertility has an overlap of 30 % to 60% with liver disorders. hence, the urtica dioica m...

background: obesity and diabetes are the most important problems of public health. evidence from molecular animal research and epidemiologic investigations indicate that calcium intake may have an influence on body composition, weight and insulin resistance. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of calcium supplementation on body composition, weight, insulin resistance and bl...

objectives insulin resistance has been considered as the most important component of type 2 diabetes mellitus (dm2). plants used in folk medicine to treat diabetes mellitus represent a viable alternative for the control of this disease. this study was aimed to examine the antidiabetic effects of three iranian medicinal plants i.e. urtica dioica, trigonella foenum-graecum and fumaria officinalis...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Apelin and resistin as novel adipokines have insulin-sensitizing effects, which may be associated with decreased blood glucose concentration. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of combined exercise training on plasma concentrations of apelin, resistin and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetics male (T2D). Methods: In a quasi-...
