Today is World Diabetes Day and it’s a good opportunity for us to dive deeper into what Insulin Resistance(IR) is and what its impact is on metabolic health. An article published in Frontiers in Science Endocrinology magazine provides a comprehensive overview of IR, examining its causes, mechanisms, and treatment strategies. IR is a significant risk factor in the development of numerous chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and NAFLD. The global prevalence of IR and metabolic syndrome is alarmingly high, impacting a significant portion of the world's population (estimated 25%). The article highlights the complex pathogenesis of IR, emphasizing its multifaceted nature and the interplay of various factors: Genetic predisposition, obesity, age, and underlying diseases all contribute to the development of IR. At a molecular level, any disruption to the insulin signaling pathway can lead to IR. This includes abnormalities in insulin receptor binding, disturbances in the internal environment (inflammation, hypoxia, lipotoxicity, and immune dysfunction), and impaired metabolic function of the liver and other organs. Current screening methods include a multitude of usually invasive tests focused on Glucose. Some of these tests are simpler (e.g simple blood test to test fasting glucose in the blood) and other more complex requiring more time or steps (e.g Oral Glucose Tolerance Test which involves multiple blood draws). We believe that given the impact and prevalence of IR, a rapid non-invasive diagnostic tool will allow many more people to get screened and detect IR early to prevent complications and comorbidities. This is why we developed our IDIR technology to rapidly detect & measure BCAAs in urine, allowing us to determine insulin resistance status accurately.

#metabolism #diabetes #biology #medicine #medicalsciences https://lnkd.in/gzk569F9 The topic of human #circadian #rhythms is not only attracting the attention of clinical researchers from various fields but also sparking a growing public interest. The circadian system comprises the central clock, located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the #hypothalamus, and the peripheral clocks in various tissues that are interconnected; together they coordinate many daily activities, including sleep and wakefulness, physical activity, food intake, glucose sensitivity and cardiovascular functions. Disruption of circadian regulation seems to be associated with #metabolic #disorders (particularly impaired glucose tolerance) and #cardiovascular #disease. Previous clinical trials revealed that disturbance of the circadian system, specifically due to shift work, is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This review is intended to provide clinicians who wish to implement knowledge of circadian disruption in diagnosis and strategies to avoid cardio-metabolic disease with a general overview of this topic.

Our first article on systematic review and meta-analysis is finally available online. Published on the 14th of Feburary and already has 1014 views and 90 downloads. Mazdutide, also known as IBI362 or LY3305677, is a new dual agonist for the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) and the glucagon receptor (GCGR). It has the potential to simultaneously reduce weight, blood sugar, and other comorbidities associated with obesity. Our study concluded that 1) Mazdutide was effective for weight loss in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. 2) The drug effectively reduced blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and HDL. 3) Mazdutide was associated with reduced HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, it was associated with mild or moderate gastrointestinal side effects. With a convenient weekly dose and a favorable safety profile, Mazdutide is a potential drug of choice for weight reduction in people with diabetes (with or without associated comorbidities) and particularly in the non-diabetic population. However, more RCTs from phase III, larger sample sizes are needed to have a definitive answer on the efficacy and safety of Mazdutide on weight reduction among diabetic and non-diabetic individuals.

#Review Analytical Challenges in Diabetes Management: Towards Glycated Albumin Point-of-Care Detection by Andrea Rescalli, Elena Mariani, Francesco Cellesi and Pietro Cerveri https://lnkd.in/gKcPRzUK #MDPI #Diabetes #Biochemical #enzymes #biosensors #sensors #openaccess #Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a worldwide-spread chronic metabolic disease that occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin levels or when the body fails to effectively use the secreted pancreatic insulin, eventually resulting in hyperglycemia. Systematic glycemic control is the only procedure at our disposal to prevent diabetes long-term complications such as cardiovascular disorders, kidney diseases, nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. Glycated albumin (GA) has recently gained more and more attention as a control biomarker thanks to its shorter lifespan and wider reliability compared to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), currently the “gold standard” for diabetes screening and monitoring in clinics. Various techniques such as ion exchange, liquid or affinity-based chromatography and immunoassay can be employed to accurately measure GA levels in serum samples; nevertheless, due to the cost of the lab equipment and complexity of the procedures, these methods are not commonly available at clinical sites and are not suitable to home monitoring. The present review describes the most up-to-date advances in the field of glycemic control biomarkers, exploring in particular the GA with a special focus on the recent experimental analysis techniques, using enzymatic and affinity methods. Finally, analysis steps and fundamental reading technologies are integrated into a processing pipeline, paving the way for future point-of-care testing (POCT). In this view, we highlight how this setup might be employed outside a laboratory environment to reduce the time from measurement to clinical decision, and to provide diabetic patients with a brand-new set of tools for glycemic self-monitoring.
