Meigs,Chih-Hao Lee,Rob M. van Dam,Frank B. Hu +26 more
TL;DR: Analysis of genome-wide association scans in nested case-control samples from two prospective cohort studies suggests that the 2q24 locus may influence the T2D risk by affecting glucose metabolism and insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of new genetic risk variants for type 2 diabetes.
Xiao-Ou Shu,Jirong Long,Qiuyin Cai,Lu Qi,Yong-Bing Xiang,Yoon Shin Cho,E. Shyong Tai,Xiangyang Li,Xu Lin,Wong-Ho Chow,Min Jin Go,Mark Seielstad,Wei Bao,Huaixing Li,Marilyn C.

Hu +29 more
TL;DR: This study provides strong evidence for a novel T2D susceptibility locus at 13q31.1 and the presence of new independent risk variants near regions (10p13 and 15q22.2) reported by previous GWAS.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of diabetes mellitus and prior myocardial infarction on mortality from all causes and from coronary heart disease in men.
Eunyoung Cho,Eric B. Rimm,Eric B. Rimm,Meir J. Stampfer,Meir J. Stampfer,Walter C. Willett,Walter C. Willett,Frank B. Hu +7 more
TL;DR: Findings support that both diabetes and MI are associated with elevated total and CHD mortality, and having both conditions is particularly hazardous, and longer duration of diabetes is a strong predictor of death among diabetic men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of carbohydrates on satiety: differences between liquid and solid food.
An Pan,Frank B. Hu +1 more
TL;DR: Examination of the satiety effect of carbohydrates with a focus on the comparison of liquid and solid food and their implications for energy balance and weight management suggests that liquid carbohydrates generally produce less satiety than solid forms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total and High-Molecular-Weight Adiponectin and Resistin in Relation to the Risk for Type 2 Diabetes in Women
Christin Heidemann,Qi Sun,Rob M. van Dam,James B. Meigs,Cuilin Zhang,Shelley S. Tworoger,Christos S. Mantzoros,Frank B. Hu +7 more
TL;DR: A large, prospective, casecontrol study nested within the Nurses' Health Study to evaluate whether total and high-molecular-weight adiponectin and resistin are associated with the future risk for type 2 diabetes, independent of obesity and other known diabetes risk factors.
