Diabetes & Diet
THANKS!!!
to those of you that want to continue getting SmilePage
News. Those that participate in this ground breaking
"BRAIN-SWAPPING-FORMAT" will surely be repaid.
THE FORMAT will now change to more specific information
and inquiry, and will include cited responses--your
thoughts. GOAL: Share & Show how the negative effects
of "Urbanization=Modernization=Civilization"
i.e. Degenerative Diseases can finally be reversed or
improved.
TOPIC:
DIABETES is directly related to diet....as proposed
by some
researchers for over 70 years.
ABSTRACT:
Diet-induced insulin resistance precedes other aspects
of the metabolic syndrome. by Barnard RJ, Roberts CK,
Varon SM, Berger JJ, Department of Physiological Science,
University of California, Los Angeles, California 90095-1527,
USA., J Appl Physiol 1998 Apr;84(4):1311-1315
This
study was designed to examine the effects of a high-fat
refined-sugar (HFS) or a low-fat complex-carbohydrate
(LFCC) diet on insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose
transport, plasma insulin, blood pressure, plasma triglycerides,
plasma glycerol, body weight, and body fat in female
Fischer rats. Insulin-stimulated glucose transport was
significantly reduced in the HFS group at 2 wk, 2 mo,
and 2 yr, whereas serum insulin was significantly elevated
at all time points. Blood pressure was not significantly
elevated in the HFS group until 12 mo, and all HFS animals
were hypertensive by 18 mo. Glycerol, triglycerides,
and abdominal fat cell size were not significantly different
at 2 wk but were significantly elevated in the HFS rats
at 2 and 6 mo. Body weight was similar in both groups
until 20 wk on the diet, when the HFS rats started to
gain more weight. These results demonstrate that insulin
resistance and hyperinsulinemia occur before the other
manifestations of the metabolic syndrome and that diet,
not obesity, is the underlying cause.
