TL;DR: 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy revealed intramyocellular abnormalities of lipid metabolism associated with whole body insulin resistance in subjects at high risk of developing diabetes, and might be useful tools for noninvasively monitoring these alterations in diabetes and prediabetic states.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the incorporation of fasting free fatty acid level into QUICKI is useful to improve its correlation with the clamp-based index of insulin sensitivity and its discriminatory power in case of mild insulin resistance.

TL;DR: The reduction in serum lipid risk factors for cardiovascular disease supports the FDA's approval of a health claim for a dietary fiber intake of 4 servings/d and is likely to be significant on a population basis.

TL;DR: In this article, the total antioxidant activity (TAA) of 13 typical Italian wines was determined (average 12.3 and 1.6 mM Trolox equivalents for red and white wines, respectively), and the resulting values were correlated with total phenols (1365−3326 and 96−146 mg/L for red, white, and green wines respectively), flavanols (203−805 and 11−49 mg /L, respectively).

TL;DR: The present study suggests the ability of GT, consumed within a balanced controlled diet, to improve overall the antioxidative status and to protect against oxidative damage in humans.
