The DASH dietary pattern may lead to an improvement in insulin sensitivity independent of weight loss .
The DASH diet may play an important role in glycemic control in long- term interventions .
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes is a major public health problem .
The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension ( DASH ) eating pattern may contribute to managing risk factors of type 2 diabetes .
The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta- analysis on r and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) that examine the effects of DASH diet consumption on the indices of glycemic control such as fasting blood glucose ( FBG ) , serum fasting insulin level , and Homeostatic Model Assessment insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR ) .
Effects of potassium supplementation on insulin binding and insulin action in human obesity: protein-modified fast and refeeding.
To investigate the role of potassium deficiency in the development of glucose intolerance during caloric deprivation , potassium balance was maintained within normality with oral potassium supplementation in a group of obese subjects who underwent protein-modified fast and the results of the study of carbohydrate metabolism ( oral glucose test , insulin receptors on monocytes and peripheral glucose utilization as assessed by euglycaemic clamp ) were compared with those obtained in a group of obese subjects admitted to protein-modified fast without potassium supplementation . Caloric deprivation without oral potassium supplementation was followed by a negative potassium balance and a decrease of serum potassium levels ; a decrease of the peripheral levels of insulin along with an increase in insulin receptors and a striking reduction of peripheral glucose utilization were also observed . The maintenance of normal potassium balance and normal serum potassium levels with oral potassium-chloride supplementation was associated with higher peripheral levels of insulin ( P less than 0.01 ) and improvement of peripheral glucose utilization ( P less than 0.01 ) whereas the binding of insulin to monocytes was unchanged . The data suggest that potassium depletion during protein-modified fast causes a decrease of the peripheral levels of insulin and a resistance to insulin action at the postreceptors sites which is reversed by potassium supply
