Filter by:Lipotoxicity-causing fatty acid overexposure and accretion in lean tissues leads to insulin resistance and impaired pancreatic β-cell function - the hallmarks of T2D - contributing to associated complications such as heart failure, kidney failure and microvascular diseases. Proper dietary fatty acid (DFA) storage in white adipose tissue (WAT) is now thought to prevent lean-tissue lipotoxicity. Using novel Positron-Emission Tomography (PET) and stable isotopic tracer methods which were developed in Sherbrooke, the investigator showed that WAT storage of DFA is impaired in people with pre-diabetes or T2D. The investigator also showed that this impairment is associated with greater cardiac DFA uptake, as well as subclinical left-ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Then, It has been found that modest weight loss in pre-diabetics, after a one-year lifestyle intervention, improved WAT DFA storage, curbed cardiac DFA uptake, and restored associated left-ventricular dysfunction. It has been also found that a 7-day low-saturated fat, low-calorie diet raised insulin sensitivity but did not restore WAT or cardiac DFA metabolism. Whether WAT DFA storage directly impacts cardiac DFA uptake is not known. Importantly, the investigator recently uncovered marked sex-specific differences in WAT DFA metabolism. These may explain, at least in part, sex-related differences in the cardiac DFA uptake, which occurs in pre-diabetes. Higher spillover of WAT DFA into circulating Non-Esterified Fatty Acid (NEFA) appears to be linked in women to greater cardiac DFA uptake, as opposed to direct cardiac chylomicron triglycerides (TG) uptake in men. Here, the investigator will isolate and compare organ-specific fatty acid uptake occurring postprandially from chylomicron-TG vs. NEFA pools, as well as the oxidative vs. non-oxidative intracellular metabolic pathways associated with increased cardiac DFA uptake in pre-diabetic men and women.
This study will determine the influence of two non-caloric sweeteners on glucose metabolism via the gut microbiome in adult men and women.
Prediabetes (PD) was defined as an state in which glucose levels are above normal but not enough to meet criteria for the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). PD can be presented as impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and glycated hemoglobin A1c (A1C) altered. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reported that in 2013 the prevalence of IGT was 6.9% which is equivalent to approximately 316 million individuals with IGT, it is expected that by 2035 this number will increase to 417 million people affected. Many hypoglycemic effects attributed to Gymnema sylvestre have been reported, including: increase of insulin secretion, regeneration of pancreatic islet cells, increased glucose utilization in various ways and inhibition of glucose uptake in the intestine.
Prediabetes is a term that refers to alterations in glucose homeostasis, including impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or both, involving a higher risk of progression type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Dapagliflozin is a selective and reversible inhibitor of sodium-glucose type 2 (SGLT-2) co-transporter, which reduces renal glucose reabsorption and promotes the glucose excretion through urine, so that the blood glucose is improved in patients with T2DM. Although this mechanism is independent of insulin, there are evidence of improved secretion and insulin sensitivity, so it is interesting to assess these effects in patients with prediabetes, as potential therapy for treating such disorders and prevent progression to T2DM. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Dapagliflozin on insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in patients with prediabetes. The investigators hypothesis is that the administration of dapagliflozin improve insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in patients with prediabetes.
Chlorogenic acid has demonstrated promising effects in the treatment of glycemic control, obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin secretion, among others. The above mentioned findings show that Chlorogenic acid has an excellent potential for the control of glucose as well as insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.
The Objectives of this study is to determine the effect(s) of daily non-caloric artificial sweetener (NAS) consumption (sucralose or aspartame) on the composition of the bacteria and also to determine the changes in glucose metabolism.

The objective is to identify the lowest effective dose of Grape Seed Extract (GSE) on glucose control in people with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
This study investigated any potential associations between two isocaloric diets with different meal frequency (3 meals versus 6 meals) and glycemic control in people at high diabetes risk (lean and overweight/obese women with PCOS, individuals with hyperinsulinemia, individuals with impaired glucose tolerance) and diagnosed with diabetes.
