Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin is required for prandial ghrelin suppression in humans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of meal ingestion on plasma ghrelin levels in six C-peptide-negative subjects with type 1 diabetes and in six healthy subjects matched for age, sex, and BMI were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Make Your Diabetic Patients Walk: Long-term impact of different amounts of physical activity on type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: Energy expenditure >10 METs per hour per week obtained through aerobic leisure time physical activity is sufficient to achieve health and financial advantages, but full benefits are achieved with energy expenditure >20 METs .
Journal ArticleDOI

Validation of a counseling strategy to promote the adoption and the maintenance of physical activity by type 2 diabetic subjects.

TL;DR: This randomized, controlled study shows that physicians can motivate most patients with type 2 diabetes to exercise long-term and emphasizes the value of individual behavioral approaches in daily practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ghrelin is not necessary for adequate hormonal counterregulation of insulin-induced hypoglycemia.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that ghrelin is not required for the hormonal defenses against insulin-induced hypoglycemia and that insulin can suppress gh Relin levels in healthy humans, and raise the possibility that postprandial hyperinsulinemia is responsible for the reduction of plasma ghRELin that occurs during meal intake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of Amino Acids and Insulin to Protein Anabolism During Meal Absorption

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that by increasing whole-body protein synthesis and decreasing proteolysis, dietary amino acids account for the largest part (∼90%) of postprandial protein anabolism.
