Insulin Resistance May Lead to Faster Cognitive Decline
Insulin Resistance May Lead to Faster Cognitive Decline Summary: A new study reports insulin resistance is linked to accelerated cognitive decline. Source: AFTAU. Executive function and memory are particularly vulnerable to the effects of insulin resistance, Tel Aviv University researchers say. A new Tel Aviv University study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease finds that insulinContinue reading “Insulin Resistance May Lead to Faster Cognitive Decline”
Physical inactivity, dopamine, lactate , glucose and aging
After 96 years of age, he has crying spells in the afternoon or early evening hours when our brain hormones are slowing down to ready for sleep. With less exercise and more time sitting down watching TV and eating every 2 hours, he forgets to remember things as his brain and muscles are not workingContinue reading “Physical inactivity, dopamine, lactate , glucose and aging”
Klotho enzyme , calcium, insulin , Vitamin D and Alzheimer
Klotho is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the KL gene.[5] This gene encodes a type-I membrane protein that is related to β-glucuronidases. Reduced production of this protein has been observed in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), and this may be one of the factors underlying the degenerative processes (e.g., arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, and skin atrophy) seen inContinue reading “Klotho enzyme , calcium, insulin , Vitamin D and Alzheimer”
Antioxidants and insulin sensitivity
Researchers have shown that red wine and tea may both hold promise for regulating the blood sugar of people with type 2 diabetes.
Levels of blood glucose rise sharply in patients with type 2 diabetes immediately following a meal. Red wine and tea contain antioxidants that help to slow the passage of glucose through the small intestine and into the bloodstream, which can prevent the blood sugar spike.
Keeping blood sugar levels normal is one of the key challenges of managing diabetes; doing so can help prevent the disease from contributing to heart disease and high blood pressure as well as damaging the eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels.
In the study, researchers tested how well wine and tea could inhibit the activity of a target enzyme called alpha-glucosidase, which is responsible for triggering the absorption of glucose by the small intestine.

FOXO3, a gene linked to intelligence and involved in insulin signalling that might trigger apoptosis
Genes linked to intelligence Researchers discovered that the genes that were the strongest linked to intelligence are ones involved in pathways that play a part in the regulation of the nervous system’s development and apoptosis (a normal form of cell death that is needed in development). The most significant SNP was found within FOXO3, aContinue reading “FOXO3, a gene linked to intelligence and involved in insulin signalling that might trigger apoptosis”
Diabetes is not taking up enough glucose due to either the lack of insulin or a resistance to insulin – due to presence of bad fat
Facts about Diabetes and Insulin Diabetes is a very common disease, which, if not treated, can be very dangerous. There are two types of diabetes. They were once called juvenile-onset diabetes and adult diabetes. However, today we know that all ages can get both types so they are simply called type 1 and type 2Continue reading “Diabetes is not taking up enough glucose due to either the lack of insulin or a resistance to insulin – due to presence of bad fat”

Diabetes and Dementia Link: Alzheimer’s Impairs Insulin Signalling
Mount Sinai Researchers Identify Brain Insulin Resistance as Possible New Link Between Alzheimer’s Disease and Diabetes. Several epidemiological studies support the hypothesis that diabetes increases a person’s risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease. However, new research from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai published in the journal Alzheimer’s and Dementia suggests the reverse—that Alzheimer’sContinue reading “Diabetes and Dementia Link: Alzheimer’s Impairs Insulin Signalling”
Insulin resistance and sugar
Evidence clearly shows that refined sugar is a primary factor causing not just obesity, but also chronic yet preventable disease In one clinical trial, test subjects who consumed high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) developed higher risk factors for cardiovascular disease in just two weeks On average, sugar makes up 15 percent of total calories consumed.Continue reading “Insulin resistance and sugar”
