picolinic acid and Insulin Resistance

picolinic acid has been researched along with Insulin Resistance in 30 studies

picolinic acid: iron-chelating agent that inhibits DNA synthesis; may interfere with iron-dependent production of stable free organic radical which is essential for ribonucleotide reductase formation of deoxyribonucleotides; RN given refers to parent cpd; structure in Merck Index, 9th ed, #7206
picolinic acid : A pyridinemonocarboxylic acid in which the carboxy group is located at position 2. It is an intermediate in the metabolism of tryptophan.

Insulin Resistance: Diminished effectiveness of INSULIN in lowering blood sugar levels: requiring the use of 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent HYPERGLYCEMIA or KETOSIS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Smoking promotes insulin resistance and other features - excepting hypertension - of the insulin resistance syndrome; these effects appear to reflect chronic nicotine exposure."3.73Chromium picolinate may favorably influence the vascular risk associated with smoking by combating cortisol-induced insulin resistance. ( McCarty, MF, 2005)
" Peripheral insulin resistance, which usually responds to a very-low-fat diet, aerobic exercise training, and appropriate weight loss, can also treated with high-dose chromium picolinate, high-dose vitamin E, magnesium, soluble fiber, and possibly taurine; these measures appear likely to correct the diabetes-associated metabolic derangements of vascular smooth muscle, and thus lessen risk for macrovascular disease."3.69Exploiting complementary therapeutic strategies for the treatment of type II diabetes and prevention of its complications. ( McCarty, MF, 1997)
"Insulin sensitivity was negatively correlated to soleus and tibialis muscle intramyocellular lipids and intrahepatic lipid content."2.75Characterization of the metabolic and physiologic response to chromium supplementation in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. ( Anderson, RA; Cefalu, WT; Levitan, L; Martin, CK; Martin, JM; Newcomer, B; Pinsonat, P; Qin, J; Rood, J; Sereda, O; Wang, ZQ; Zhang, XH, 2010)
"Metabolic syndrome is defined by a cluster of cardiovascular disease risk factors that are associated with insulin resistance."2.47Alternative and complementary treatments for metabolic syndrome. ( Power, M; Pratley, R, 2011)
"Chromium (Cr) has been shown to potentiate insulin functioning and is thereby helpful in reducing the risk of these metabolic disorders."1.91Dietary Chromium Picolinate Supplementation Improves Glucose Utilization in Transition Calf by Ameliorating Insulin Response. ( Khare, S; Kumar, A; Kumar, M; Kumar, V; Kushwaha, R; Shukla, PK; Singh, SK; Singh, Y; Vaswani, S; Yadav, RS, 2023)
"Obesity is a prevalent disorder characterized as marked insulin resistance and low grade inflammation."1.37Submandibular gland and caries susceptibility in the obese Zucker rat. ( Abdelsayed, R; El-Marakby, A; El-Salanty, M; Liu, JY; Mozaffari, MS; Wimborne, H; Zakhary, I, 2011)
"Treatment with chromium picolinate produced a significant decrease in elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels in both types of diabetic rats."1.32Insulin sensitising action of chromium picolinate in various experimental models of diabetes mellitus. ( Dhalla, NS; Goyal, RK; Sharma, G; Shindea, UA; Xu, YJ, 2004)
"To evaluate whether CrPic may aid in treatment of the insulin resistance syndrome, we assessed its effects in JCR:LA-corpulent rats, a model of this syndrome."1.31Oral chromium picolinate improves carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and enhances skeletal muscle Glut-4 translocation in obese, hyperinsulinemic (JCR-LA corpulent) rats. ( Baldor, LC; Cefalu, WT; Russell, JC; Wang, ZQ; Zhang, XH, 2002)
