Carbohydrate Metabolism01:36

Carbohydrate Metabolism

14.8K
Carbohydrates are polymers composed of molecules containing atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. One gram of carbohydrate can provide four kilo-calories of energy, which makes it the most efficient instant energy source.
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...

Psychoneuroimmunology: Diabetes and Cancer

Chronic stress has been linked to both the onset and progression of serious health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and cancer. Type 2 diabetes, a widespread chronic illness, is closely associated with obesity and insulin resistance, both of which often worsen under stress. Studies indicate that men experiencing high levels of chronic stress face a 45% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to those with minimal stress. Stress triggers physiological responses that elevate blood...

Obesity01:24

Obesity

1.5K
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

5.3K
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels due to inadequate insulin production, insulin resistance, or both. The condition affects millions worldwide and can significantly impact their health and quality of life.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications

2.6K
For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolic Bone Disease
  • Imaging Science

Background:

  • Diabetes mellitus is associated with increased risk of skeletal fragility.
  • Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) plays a role in bone metabolism and health.
  • Understanding BMAT changes in diabetes is crucial for addressing bone complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe changes in bone marrow fat in individuals with diabetes.
  • To explore the potential role of bone marrow fat in diabetic skeletal fragility.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on bone marrow fat in diabetes.
  • Analysis of non-invasive imaging techniques for assessing marrow fat in humans.
  • Correlation of marrow fat levels with glycemic control (HbA1c) and lipid profiles.

Main Results:

  • Human studies show less pronounced differences in marrow fat in diabetes compared to animal models.
  • Bone marrow fat may correlate with HbA1c and exhibit a distinct lipid saturation profile in diabetes.
  • Increased bone marrow fat is associated with impaired skeletal health and may mediate fragility.

Conclusions:

  • Bone marrow fat is a potential mediator of skeletal fragility in diabetes.
  • Factors like circulating lipids, hormonal changes, and adiposity may influence marrow fat in diabetes.
  • Further research is needed to clarify the role of marrow fat and its therapeutic potential in diabetic bone disease.
