Normal periods of insulin Resistance (3)Puberty Pregnancy Lactation
What is the proposed mechanism of insulin resistance?decrease function of insulin receptor substrates (which causes a decrease of GLUT transporters)
Insulin resistance results in the blood and cells (4)increased glucose in the blood hyperinsulemia increased FBG Glucose intolerant cells
Which cell types are the most likely to become glucose intolerant? (2)adipocytes Muscle cells
When muscles are unable to uptake glucose, what two things cause damage to the liver? Why?Increased FFA (body uses fat for energy instead) -Extra FFA is processed by the liver and causes damage Increased insulin causes liver to synthesize TAG -this increases risk of NAFLD
Increased TAG causes (2)increased VLDLs Postprandial Hypertriglyceridemia
Insulin resistance causes what to happen in artery walls? (2)Vascular distress Damaged artery walls (increased plaque formation)
What 3 tissue types are insulin independent?Retina, Kidney, Nervous
The Polyol pathway describes how damage occurs in ___________cellsInsulin Independent

What is the AI for chromium?25-35 mcg/d
Sources of Chromium (7)Fruits Veggies Whole Grains Meats Cheese Dark Chocolate Cookware
What is the highest source of chromium?Organ meat
What nutrients effect insulin metabolism?Mg Vit D Ca
Metabolic syndrome and DM2 Similarities (2)Insulin resistance Central Adiposity
What causes metabolic syndrome? (3)Sedentary Lifestyle Central Adiposity Genetic Predisposition
Adults ages _____-______ are when metabolic syndrome likely starts (Not sure what my notes meant by these ages but this is what I think?)20-39
What decreases your risk of MS (2)increasing resistant and/or aerobic exercise Healthy body fat @ birth
What increases risk of MS (2)High infant body fat Excess CHO intake
Possible symptoms of MS (5) * having at least ____ symptoms = MS diagnosisDyslipidemia Elevated waistline high FBG Insulin resistance Hypertension having at least THREE symptoms = MS diagnosis
Hypertension can lead to (5)CVD Stroke Visual Impairment Dementia Renal Failure
What is the ideal blood pressureLESS THAN 120/80mmHg
Hypertension is classified as:greater than 130-139/80-89
