Filter by:Moderate alcohol consumption has consistently been associated with lowered risk of developing type two diabetes mellitus compared to abstainers and heavy drinkers. However, the underlying mechanism for the lower risk of type two diabetes is not clear. Hypothesis: moderate alcohol consumption for four weeks changes gene expression pathways of inflammatory status, insulin sensitivity and lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in adipose tissue in both lean and obese postmenopausal women. Hypothesis: Oral sensory stimulation by means of alcohol in the oral cavity will induce a cephalic phase reflex as indicated by increased autonomic & endocrine responses in postmenopausal women.
