Research has indicated that iron overload increases the risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. But the exact mechanisms that link the two are unknown. In this issue of the iJournal of Clinical Investigation/i, Donald McClain and colleagues at the University of Utah report that serum ferritin levels could predict the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome in humans and were inversely associated with the expression of adiponectin, a blood glucose-regulating ...Thursday 13 September 2012
Link Between Serum Ferritin and Diabetes Elaborated Upon in New Research
Research has indicated that iron overload increases the risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. But the exact mechanisms that link the two are unknown. In this issue of the iJournal of Clinical Investigation/i, Donald McClain and colleagues at the University of Utah report that serum ferritin levels could predict the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome in humans and were inversely associated with the expression of adiponectin, a blood glucose-regulating ...
