Presentation
"Vascular Disease and Insulin Resistance"
Prof. Giancarlo Viberti (biography) English - 2005-05-06 - 51 minutes
Summary : Insulin resistance increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, and Prof. Viberti describes data showing the relationships between traditional and non-traditional CVD risk factors and insulin resistance, as well as their associated risks.
PPAR gamma agonists affect the metabolic pathways of insulin signaling by improving insulin sensitivity, and also the trophic pathways mainly through the MAPK signaling molecules. Prof. Viberti reviews several studies showing the effects of rosiglitazone treatment on various factors impacting on vascular risk.
