  6. 4. Diet and endometrial cancer : insulin related factors

    Author : Emilie Friberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There is accumulating evidence that insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are involved in the etiology of endometrial cancer. Dietary intake can influence insulin levels especially among individuals who are already insulin resistant. Coffee drinking has been reported to have beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity.

  7. 5. Factors potentially influencing pathogenetic mechanisms and hyperglycemia in pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes : clinical studies in humans

    Author : Henrik Wagner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The pathogenetic mechanisms underlying type 2 diabetes (T2D) and prediabetes involve an interaction between β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance (IR). The resulting hyperglycemia, as well as other clustered cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in T2D, constitutes a severe hazard for development of complications to the disease. READ MORE
