Sentences with phrase «sensitivity of the body tissues»

Not exact matches

Among the 19 study volunteers who lost 5 percent of their body weight, the function of insulin - secreting beta cells improved, as did insulin sensitivity in fat tissue, liver and skeletal muscle tissue.

«Our study demonstrates that subcutaneous human fat tissue has an internal clock that is able to regulate insulin sensitivity even when outside of the body.

Furthermore, if transcriptional regulation of adipose tissue function contributes to adiposity - dependent modulation of insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and other medically important traits, then the genes that correlate with body mass will be candidates for mediating these responses and warrant further evaluation.

The Clinical Biomarkers Facility offers services for high - throughput and highly specific analyses of protein biomarker candidates in body fluids such as plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluids etc. and cell and tissue lysates using molecular tools such as proximity extension and proximity ligation technologies (PEA and PLA) providing assays with high specificity and sensitivity in complex biological matrices.

Insulin resistance means that your blood levels of insulin are constantly elevated while the body tissues experience a reduced sensitivity to this hormone.

Previous studies have suggested that exposure to cold temperatures can improve insulin sensitivity and activate the body's brown fat tissue, which — unlike other types of fat — burns calories and seem to protect against metabolic conditions like obesity and diabetes.

Studies show this potent berry may increase the utilization of sugar by your tissue and increase the body's natural insulin response and sensitivity.

A sustained modest weight - loss of five to 10 % body - weight is associated with improvements in various indices of cardiometabolic health including but not limited to insulin sensitivity, vascular function, blood pressure and lipid levels.3 These beneficial effects of weight - loss can be partially explained by accompanying reductions in adipose tissue mass and dysfunction.5 There is however, some evidence to suggest that energy restriction (ER) alone can confer metabolic changes which are independent to those of weight - loss, by facilitating an acute negative energy balance 6 - 9 and / or by activating adaptive stress response pathways.10

They also of course, they were intermittent fasting, right, they're eating only 2 meals a day can increase your mitochondrial density, it can increase your ability to tap into your won body's fatty acids or adipose tissue and it can also as you would suspect, increase your insulin sensitivity.

Therefore, it is not surprising to find that the muscle hypertrophy resulting from strength training was associated with the increases in whole - body insulin sensitivity we observed, because skeletal muscle constitutes the target tissue where most of the insulin - stimulated glucose uptake takes place [34].

Water Retention — Not consuming enough water, food sensitivities and hormonal fluctuations can trap pounds of water in the bodies tissues.

These metabolic alterations include the inability of normal tissues to take up blood glucose because of their decreased sensitivity or decreased responsiveness to insulin; an increased protein degradation combined with a decreased protein synthesis; finally an increased activity of the enzymes involved in degradation and mobilization of lipids in body fat cells.
