Use this summary to discuss testing options with your clinician. Insulin resistance is common, often silent for years, and contributes to cardiovascular, neurologic, and metabolic disease. Glucose tends to rise later; insulin rises earlier. Combining markers improves detection.
For anyone monitoring their health, metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a cluster of risks that elevate the chance of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. A recent meta-analysis explores taurine, an amino acid known to exhibit intriguing physiological effects, and how it might help manage these risks.
When it comes to improving endurance performance and optimizing energy efficiency, understanding the factors affecting maximal fat oxidation (MFO) is crucial. A recent study delves into how training status, exercise intensity, duration, sex differences, and nutrition influence fat utilization during physical activity. The study highlights key adaptive responses in fat metabolism that could guide exercise regimens and dietary recommendations for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.
In the pursuit of understanding human aging and its implications on health, a remarkable new study has unveiled a ‘proteomic age clock’ that could revolutionize how we tackle age-related diseases.
