Journal ArticleDOI

Metformin increases AMP-activated protein kinase activity in skeletal muscle of subjects with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the metabolic effects of metformin in subjects with type 2 diabetes may be mediated by the activation of AMPK alpha2, which is implicated in the stimulation of glucose uptake into skeletal muscle and the inhibition of liver gluconeogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Randomized clinical trial of the effect of preoperative oral carbohydrate treatment on postoperative whole-body protein and glucose kinetics

TL;DR: Preoperative oral carbohydrate (CHO) reduces postoperative insulin resistance and the effect of CHO on postoperative whole‐body protein turnover was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of 3 days of "postoperative" low caloric feeding with or without bed rest on insulin sensitivity in healthy subjects.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the routine low caloric feeding is capable of contributing to postoperative insulin resistance, and is commonly used nutritional routine in clinical practice, induce marked alterations in insulin sensitivity and substrate utilization.
