Insulin resistance is independently associated with the risk of developing peripheral artery disease and modifies the association between inflammation and PAD, a new study has shown. (Pande R et ...

Resistance to the action of insulin to mediate peripheral glucose disposal is a key element in the etiology of type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance leads to a compensatory increase in pancreatic ß ...

A German crossover trial found that drinking polyphenol-rich red berry juice improved peripheral resistance and helped preserve muscle mass in pre-diabetic adults. No significant changes were seen ...

Total peripheral resistance is a measure of arterial pressure relative to cardiac output. The researchers compared the current blood lead levels of the children to their cardiovascular functioning ...

We have wedged a small catheter in airways 2 to 3 mm in diameter in excised human lungs to have measure airway resistance central (R c) and peripheral (R p) to this site.In five normal lungs, R ...

In males, the major determinant of systolic blood pressure was total peripheral resistance, which explained 47 percent of the variance, versus only 30 percent in females.
