FATORES QUE PROVOCAM A DIMINUIÇÃO DA SENSIBILIDADE DOS RECEPTORES DE INSULINA NAS CÉLULAS ALVO

A ResistÃncia InsulÃnica (RI) refere-se à diminuiÃÃo da aÃÃo da insulina nas cÃlulas alvo, adipÃcitos e cÃlulas musculares. Pode ser uma condiÃÃo genÃtica ou adquirida. O estudo sobre ResistÃncia InsulÃnica tem sido complementar as pesquisas que envolvem diabetes, obesidade, hipertensÃo, alÃm de dislipidemia e cardiopatia isquÃmica, pois atravÃs deles sÃo fornecidos novos parÃmetros e tratamentos para a RI. Hà uma ligaÃÃo particular entre RI e Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2 (DM2), mesmo sendo tema de muitas controvÃrsias. O metabolismo de minerais como o zinco e o magnÃsio se mostram alterados na presenÃa da obesidade, sendo que estes sÃo importantes em mecanismos enzi...
