How Sugar Metabolism Affects Tinnitus Hyperinsulinemia is an elevation of insulin levels in the bloodstream. Hyperinsulinemia is known to be related to hypoglycemia and, as it progresses, leads eventually to Type II Diabetes. Hyperinsulinemia and Type II Diabetes can most often be controlled through diet and exercise. www.tinnitusformula.com /infocenter/articles/treatments/sugar_met.aspx   (878 words)

High Insulin Levels Tied To Heart Disease NEW YORK, Aug 03 (Reuters) -- Hyperinsulinemia -- a high blood level of insulin -- may be a risk factor for heart disease in healthy men, according to a report in the August 4th issue of Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. Hyperinsulinemia, a condition that precedes diabetes, signals that the body is not using insulin efficiently to regulate blood sugar levels. One explanation, the Finnish researchers speculate, is that men with hyperinsulinemia may become sick or die sooner than men with normal insulin levels. www.personalmd.com /news/a1998080310.shtml   (380 words)

Hyperinsulinemia - WrongDiagnosis.com Hyperinsulinemia, present in people with diabetes mellitus type 2 or insulin resistance where excess levels of circulating insulin in blood. Detailed information about the causes of Hyperinsulinemia including medication causes and drug interaction causes can be found in our causes pages. With a diagnosis of Hyperinsulinemia, it is also important to consider whether there is an underlying condition causing Hyperinsulinemia. www.wrongdiagnosis.com /h/hyperinsulinemia/intro.htm   (544 words)

Cognitive function in glucose intolerance in the elderly: the role of hyperinsulinemia Hyperinsulinemia was associated with cognitive dysfunction in subjects with normoglycemia, IGT and patients with NIDDM. Hyperinsulinemia as a consequence of decreased insulin mediated glucose uptake (Laws and Reaven 1993) is one of the most important risk factors for NIDDM (Stern 1991, 1995). Hyperinsulinemia and features of insulin resistance syndrome were associated with Alzheimer’s disease in subjects who did not have the ApoE e4 allele, but not in those carrying the e4 allele. www.uku.fi /neuro/46the.htm   (16138 words)

PCOS Research A frequent feature of women with PCOS is insulin resistance accompanied by compensatory hyperinsulinemia, and increasing evidence suggests that hyperinsulinemia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. Hyperinsulinemia produces hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS via two distinct and independent mechanisms: 1) by stimulating ovarian androgen production, and 2) by directly and independently reducing serum SHBG levels. Hyperinsulinemia could adversely affect folliculogenesis and impede ovulation by increasing intra ovarian androgen production, altering gonadoropin secretion, or directly affecting follicular development. www.vcu.edu /pcos/information.html   (361 words)

Hyperinsulinemia: Is it diabetes? - MayoClinic.com Hyperinsulinemia means you have too much insulin in your blood. Hyperinsulinemia is a sign of an underlying problem that is causing your pancreas to secrete excessive amounts of insulin. The most common cause of hyperinsulinemia is insulin resistance, a condition in which your body is resistant to the effects of insulin and your pancreas tries to compensate by making more insulin. www.mayoclinic.com /health/hyperinsulinemia/HQ00896   (243 words)

Hyperinsulinemia Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia (elevated insulin levels) are found in approximately 50% of obese (defined as 20% over ideal body weight) PCOS women. Hyperinsulinemia promotes hyperandrogenism (elevated male hormone levels) in PCOS by increasing circulating ovarian androgens and reducing serum sex hormone binding globulin (a protein which binds circulating male hormones). Although insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia correlate with body mass index (BMI), they may also be found in non-obese PCOS patients. uuhsc.utah.edu /obgyn/rei/IShyperinsulinemia.html   (109 words)

Caring Medical - Symptoms - Hyperinsulinemia Hyperinsulinemia is almost always caused by an individual’s diet. Risks associated with hyperinsulinemia include artherosclerosis, elevated triglycerides (increased risk of heart disease and stroke), high uric acid (gout), polycystic ovary syndrome (endocrine disorder), Type 2 diabetes, lack of activity, obesity, hypertension (high blood pressure), endocrine disorders in women and blood clotting problems. Symptoms of hyperinsulinemia include weight gain, cravings for sugar, intense hunger, weakness, need for frequent meals, poor concentration, emotional instability, memory loss, lack of focus, feelings of anxiety or panic, lack of motivation and fatigue. www.caringmedical.com /symptoms/condition.asp?condition_id=1139   (612 words)

Endotext.com - Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, Hyperinsulinemia, and Coronary Heart Disease Although the compensatory hyperinsulinemia prevents the development of frank hyperglycemia, insulin resistant/hyperinsulinemic individuals are at greatly increased risk of having some degree of glucose intolerance, a high plasma triglyceride (TG) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration, and essential hypertension (4). As mentioned previously, this is an excellent example of an abnormality that is the inevitable consequence of compensatory hyperinsulinemia, attempting to maintain normal glucose tolerance, acting on a normally insulin sensitive organ (the kidney) to decrease uric acid clearance. However, the importance of hyperinsulinemia in the pathogenesis of the PCOS can be attested to by the clinical effectiveness of metformin treatment in women with this syndrome (63), an intervention that lowers ambient insulin concentrations, but does not improve insulin-mediated glucose disposal by muscle (64). www.endotext.org /diabetes/diabetes9/diabetes9.htm   (3830 words)

Acanthosis nigricans in obese patients: Presentations and implications for prevention of atherosclerotic vascular ... The condition is caused by hyperinsulinemia, a consequence of insulin resistance that occurs associated with obesity. Hyperinsulinemia is an established cofactor in polycystic ovary syndrome.[2,3] Hyperinsulinemia with a normal glucose may indicate a pre-diabetic condition; these patients may have impaired glucose tolerance. It is speculated that hyperinsulinemia may be an important contributor to the large vessel atherosclerosis associated with diabetes mellitus. dermatology.cdlib.org /DOJvol6num1/original/acanthosis/katz.html   (2041 words)

ASTP Meeting Abstracts 1997 py355492.htm Hyperinsulinemia and Cardiovascular Risk (CVR) Factors   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) Hyperinsulinemia has been considered as a possible cause for increasing the proliferation of smooth muscle cells and altering lipid metabolism, leading to increased CVR. Hyperinsulinemia was accomplished in 8 dogs (group 2) by using a novel surgical technique whereby endocrine secretion was diverted from portal to systemic circulation by end-to-side anastomosis of splenic and superior pancreatiocoduodenal veins to IVC. These data demonstrate that endogenous hyperinsulinemia can be achieved by a surgical procedure in dogs, and it is associated with a significant increase in BP and dyslipidemia, with a possible increased risk of cardiovascular disease. www.a-s-t.org /abstracts97/py355507.htm   (296 words)

Southeast Texas Medical Associates, L.L.P. - Your Life Your Health - Articles Hyperinsulinemia was first described in the medical literature in 1924 by Dr. Seale Harris, Professor of Medicine at the University of Alabama, one year after injectable insulin became available. Research from 1924 through the early 1960s indicated that hyperinsulinemia was a contributing factor in: Allergies, Asthma, Obesity, Peptic ulcers, Depression, Alcoholism and Carbohydrate addiction. Syndrome X is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors -- hypertension, glucose intolerance, dyslipidaemia, obesity, diabetes, and accelerated atherosclerosis - all of which are caused or contributed to by insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia. www.setma.com /article.cfm?ID=235   (1313 words)

Hyperinsulinemia? Plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, and proinsulin should all be measured during a prolonged fast to fully evaluate whether hyperinsulinemia is present. Hyperinsulinemia can be caused by various things; cancer of the pancreas isn't really one of them. In fact, it's not highly likely you actually have hyperinsulinemia; I'd suggest being sure you understood correctly what you were told. www.medhelp.org /forums/gastro/messages/35878.html   (696 words)

Insulin Resistance and Hyperinsulinemia As an example, in a normal person, 1 unit of insulin might be needed to help 10 mg of glucose go into the cell, but in a hyperinsulinemic person, 10 units of insulin might be needed to get the same 10 mg of glucose into the cell (Figure 2). Hyperinsulinemia is a significant independent risk factor for coronary heart disease;8 IR has a direct impact on how the lining of the blood vessels respond to changes in blood pressure.2 These effects are separate from the other dangerous effects on fat composition and blood pressure. However, long before development of diabetes, under certain metabolic stress conditions such as pregnancy, the beta cells of the pancreas are forced to produce much more insulin to overcome IR of pregnancy but fail to do this. www.jewishhospitalcincinnati.com /cholesterol/insulin_resistance.htm   (1025 words)

http://mdhmd/etcri/hyperinsulinemia.htm The big deal is that recent medical research has shown that severely elevated insulin levels cause salt and water retention, as well as causing blood vessels to constrict (squeeze shut) thereby leading to swelling and high blood pressure. You then are exposed not only to the risks of hyperinsulinemia, but multiplied by the risks of Diabetes. If you have a family history of diabetes starting in old age or adult life, or if your relatives were heavy and had diabetes, or if you or a relative had "pregnancy diabetes" (Gestational Diabetes) you probably have a risk of having a "volkswagen" for a pancreas. www.etcri.com /hyperinsulinemia.htm   (1129 words)

Hyperinsulinemia The fat and oils connection to Hyperinsulinemia, and thus to all of the diseases mentioned, clearly parallels the rise of the Hydrogenated and Refined fats and oils business. In the beginning of the recovery program is is best to remove fats and oils, except flax seed oil, or other oil containing a high percentage of W3 fatty acids, from the diet as completely as possible. Later, when the Hyperinsulinemia has started to reverse, it is ok to gradually restore fats and oils, good fats and oils only, to as much as fifteen percent of the calories consumed. www.lafayettesbest.com /articles/Hyperinsulinemia.htm   (1196 words)
