Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Insulin resistance (IR) is a metabolic condition at the core of a number of serious metabolic disabilities, for example, hypertension, coronary heart disease, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes. While there is considerable understanding of how the health benefits of  both acute and long-term exercise can help in reducing IR, the influence of nutrition in preventing or ameliorating this serious metabolic condition is less well understood.

We are inviting you to contribute research and reviews to this Special Issue that aim to increase our understanding of the role played by dietary macronutrients, micronutrients and supplements, as well as the timing of nutrient intake, in IR. We hope that we can advance our understanding of this important topic with your valuable contributions.

Prof. Dr. Katarina T. Borer

The ketogenic diet (KD) is, nowadays, considered an interesting nutritional approach for weight loss and improvement in insulin resistance. Nevertheless, most of the studies available in the literature do not allow a clear distinction between its effects on insulin sensitivity per se, and the effects of weight loss induced by KDs on insulin sensitivity. In this review, we discuss the scientific evidence on the direct and weight loss mediated effects of KDs on glycemic status in humans, describing the KD’s biochemical background and the underlying mechanisms.
