Journal ArticleDOI
Homeostasis model assessment is a reliable indicator of insulin resistance during follow-up of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Akira Katsuki,Yasuhiro Sumida,Esteban C. Gabazza,Shuichi Murashima,Masahiko Furuta,Rika Araki-Sasaki,Yasuko Hori,Yutaka Yano,Yukihiko Adachi +8 more
TL;DR: HOMA-IR may constitute a useful method not only for diagnosing insulin resistance, but also for follow-up during the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma levels of agouti-related protein are increased in obese men.
Akira Katsuki,Yasuhiro Sumida,Esteban C. Gabazza,Shuichi Murashima,Takashi Tanaka,Masahiko Furuta,Rika Araki-Sasaki,Yasuko Hori,Kaname Nakatani,Yutaka Yano,Yukihiko Adachi +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the circulating levels of AGRP are increased in obese men and that they are correlated with various parameters of obesity, and that peripheral A GRP may play a role in the pathogenesis of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide stimulates glucose transport through insulin-independent GLUT4 translocation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
Takashi Tanaka,Kaname Nakatani,Kohei Morioka,Hideki Urakawa,Noriko Maruyama,Nagako Kitagawa,Akira Katsuki,Rika Araki-Sasaki,Yasuko Hori,Esteban C. Gabazza,Yutaka Yano,Hideo Wada,Tsutomu Nobori,Yasuhiro Sumida,Yukihiko Adachi +14 more
TL;DR: No is capable of stimulating glucose transport through GLUT4 translocation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, via a mechanism different from the insulin signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
QUICKI is useful for following improvements in insulin sensitivity after therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Akira Katsuki,Yasuhiro Sumida,Esteban C. Gabazza,Shuichi Murashima,Hideki Urakawa,Kohei Morioka,Nagako Kitagawa,Takashi Tanaka,Rika Araki-Sasaki,Yasuko Hori,Kaname Nakatani,Yutaka Yano,Yukihiko Adachi +12 more
TL;DR: QUICKI may become a useful method for the follow-up of insulin resistance during the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus when correlation between QUICKI and the index of the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp study was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neither homeostasis model assessment nor quantitative insulin sensitivity check index can predict insulin resistance in elderly patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Akira Katsuki,Yasuhiro Sumida,Hideki Urakawa,Esteban C. Gabazza,Shuichi Murashima,Kohei Morioka,Nagako Kitagawa,Takashi Tanaka,Rika Araki-Sasaki,Yasuko Hori,Kaname Nakatani,Yutaka Yano,Yukihiko Adachi +12 more
TL;DR: Neither HOMA IR nor QUICKI should be used as an index of insulin resistance in elderly patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the need for developing a new noninvasive method for evaluating insulin Resistance in those patients is suggested.
