GI
News |

This month, as GI News heads into its fourth
year with 50,000 plus subscribers, Prof Jennie Brand Miller sets
out the key to eating a low GI diet and Susie Burrell begins a
new series for Healthy Kids sharing some practical lessons she
has learned as a specialist paediatric dietitian (GI News, Australia) |

Hyperglycemia-induced
reactive oxygen species toxicity to endothelial cells is dependent
on paracrine mediators |
| |
Our in vitro results indicate that HRECs respond
to cytokines rather than high glucose, suggesting that in vivo
diabetes-related endothelial injury in the retina may be due to
glucose-induced cytokine release by other retinal cells and not
a direct effect of high glucose (PubMed, USA) |

A
matter of insulin: developmental programming of body weight regulation |
| |
Epidemiological, clinical, as well as experimental
data obtained by our group during the past two decades indicate
that insulin itself, when occurring in elevated concentrations
during perinatal life, may program the development of obesity and
diabetes (PubMed, USA) |

|
|
Fetal
programming of glucose-insulin metabolism. |
| |
Programmed changes in beta cell function and
insulin action have been a common feature of animal models of poor
intrauterine nutrition. Fundamental underlying mechanisms are starting
to emerge, including changes in the epigenotype and mitochondrial
function (PubMed, USA) |

|
Resistin
and insulin resistance in hepatocytes: Resistin disturbs glycogen
metabolism at the protein level |
| |
These results strongly suggest that resistin
effects glycogen metabolism at the protein level, and resistin
is highly associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes
and is a candidate for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes
(PubMed, USA) |

Blood
Glucose Awareness Training Delivered Over the Internet |

The internet may be an efficient and effective
means of delivering diabetes interventions like BGAT (Diabetes
Care, USA) |

Emerging
markets boost Astra Zeneca profits |
| |
The company said it now had 12 drugs in the
final stage of development and had submitted its diabetes treatment
Onglyza for regulatory approval (Telegraph, UK) |

Study
Predicts Obesity Apocalypse by 2030 |
| |
The increase in metabolic disease and other
weight-related conditions could have a catastrophic toll on public
health -- and on the public pocket (ABC News, USA) |

Public
perception of overweight |
| |
Heavier people were less likely to think that
they were overweight in 2007 than in 1999 (BMJ, UK) |
