Journal ArticleDOI

McFarlane,Jørgen Vesti Nielsen,Thure Krarup,Laura R. Saslow,Karl S. Roth,Mary C Vernon,Jeff S. Volek,Gilbert B. Wilshire,Annika Dahlqvist,Ralf Sundberg,Ann Childers,Katharine Morrison,Anssi H Manninen,Hussain Dashti,Richard J. Wood,Jay Wortman,Nicolai Worm +25 more
TL;DR: 12 points of evidence supporting the use of low-carbohydrate diets as the first approach to treating type 2 diabetes and as the most effective adjunct to pharmacology in type 1 are presented and represent the best-documented, least controversial results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal Study on Pubertal Insulin Resistance
TL;DR: Pubertal transition from Tanner stage I to Tanner stage III was associated with a 32% reduction in S(I,) and increases in fasting glucose, insulin, and AIR, and these changes were similar across sex, ethnicity, and obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Richard J. Santen,D. Craig Allred,Stacy P. Ardoin,David F. Archer,Norman F. Boyd,Glenn D. Braunstein,Henry G. Burger,Graham A. Colditz,Susan R. Davis,Marco Gambacciani,Barbara A. Gower,Victor W.

Teede,Diane Thiboutot,Wulf H. Utian +24 more
TL;DR: A scholarly review of the published literature on menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT), make scientifically valid assessments of the available data, and grade the level of evidence available for each clinically important endpoint to arrive at major conclusions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical load increases muscle IGF-I and androgen receptor mRNA concentrations in humans
Marcas M. Bamman,James R. Shipp,Jie Jiang,Barbara A. Gower,Gary R. Hunter,Ashley Goodman,Charles L. McLafferty,Randall J. Urban +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that a single bout of mechanical loading in humans alters activity of the muscle IGF-I system, and the enhanced response to ECC suggests that IGF- I may somehow modulate tissue regeneration after mechanical damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visceral fat, insulin sensitivity, and lipids in prepubertal children.
TL;DR: V visceral fat appears metabolically unique in children, being independently associated with elevated TG and insulin but not Si, and obesity, visceral fat accumulation, and ethnicity in children may confer negative, but independent, health risks.
