Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmacologic doses of vitamin E improve insulin action in healthy subjects and non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients
Giuseppe Paolisso,A. D'Amore,Dario Giugliano,Antonio Ceriello,Michele Varricchio,Felice D'Onofrio +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that administration of pharmacologic doses of vitamin E is a useful tool to reduce oxidative stress and improve insulin action and in diabetics (placebo-treated vs vitamin E-supplemented subjects, respectively) vitamin E supplementation reduced glucose area under the curve and increased glucose disappearance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Congestive Heart Failure and Cognitive Impairment in an Older Population
Francesco Cacciatore,Pasquale Abete,Nicola Ferrara,Claudio Calabrese,Claudio Napoli,Stefania Maggi,Michele Varricchio,Franco Rengo +7 more
TL;DR: The cross‐sectional relationship between CHF and CI in an older population and the identification of modifiable risk factors for cognitive impairment for older persons is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opposite effects of short- and long-term fatty acid infusion on insulin secretion in healthy subjects.
Giuseppe Paolisso,Antonio Gambardella,L. Amato,R. Tortoriello,A. D'Amore,Michele Varricchio,Felice D'Onofrio +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that short- and long-term exposures of beta cells to high plasma NEFA concentrations have opposite effects on glucose-induced insulin secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advancing age and insulin resistance: role of plasma tumor necrosis factor-α
Giuseppe Paolisso,Maria Rosaria Rizzo,Gherardo Mazziotti,Maria Tagliamonte,Antonio Gambardella,Mario Rotondi,Carlo Carella,Dario Giugliano,Michele Varricchio,Felice D'Onofrio +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that plasma TNF-alpha concentration is significantly associated with advancing age and that it predicts the impairment in insulin action with advancingAge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Daily magnesium supplements improve glucose handling in elderly subjects.
Giuseppe Paolisso,Saverio Sgambato,Antonio Gambardella,G. Pizza,Tesauro P,Michele Varricchio,Felice D'Onofrio +6 more
TL;DR: In aged patients, correction of a low erythrocyte magnesium concentration may allow an improvement of glucose handling and with the net increase in both insulin secretion and action, CMA vs placebo significantly increased ery throats magnesium concentration and improved insulin response and action.
