Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin sensitivity determines the effectiveness of dietary macronutrient composition on weight loss in obese women
Marc-Andre Cornier,W. Troy Donahoo,Rocio I. Pereira,Inga Gurevich,Rickard Westergren,Sven Enerbäck,Peter J. Eckel,Marc L. Goalstone,James O. Hill,Robert H. Eckel,Boris Draznin +10 more
TL;DR: Overall, changes in Si were associated with the degree of weight loss, and the macronutrient composition of a hypocaloric diet may need to be adjusted to correspond to the state of Si.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adiponectin Dysregulation and Insulin Resistance in Type 1 Diabetes
Rocio I. Pereira,Janet K. Snell-Bergeon,Christopher B. Erickson,Irene E. Schauer,Bryan C. Bergman,Marian Rewers,David M. Maahs +6 more
TL;DR: Adiponectin levels are positively correlated with insulin sensitivity in T1D patients, however, T2D patients have decreased insulin sensitivity compared with controls at every level of adiponECTin, suggesting an important adaptive change of adip onectin set point.
Journal ArticleDOI
Text Message Support for Weight Loss in Patients With Prediabetes: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Henry H Fischer,Ilana P. Fischer,Rocio I. Pereira,Rocio I. Pereira,Anna Furniss,Jeanne M. Rozwadowski,Susan L. Moore,Michael J Durfee,Silvia G. Raghunath,Adam G. Tsai,Adam G. Tsai,Edward P. Havranek,Edward P. Havranek +12 more
TL;DR: Text message support can lead to clinically significant weight loss in patients with prediabetes, and Stratification by language demonstrated a significant treatment effect in Spanish speakers but not in English speakers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of Estradiol Treatment After Menopause May Determine Benefit or Harm to Insulin Action
Rocio I. Pereira,B. A. Casey,Tracy Swibas,Christopher B. Erickson,Pamela Wolfe,R. E. Van Pelt +5 more
TL;DR: E2-mediated effects on insulin action may be one mechanism by which HT reduces the incidence of T2D in early postmenopausal women, and there was an apparent benefit early (≤ 6 years) compared to harm later (≥ 10 years) in menopause.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoking abstinence after hospitalization: predictors of success.
TL;DR: A high level of confidence to quit and multiple prior quit attempts are strongly associated with future abstinence among hospitalized patients who smoke, and a simple confidence-to-quit scale to target interventions to patients with high confidence may improve the effectiveness of smoking cessation programs.
