Researchers at the Maimonides Biomedical Research Institute of Córdoba (IMIBIC), the Reina Sofía Hospital, the University of Córdoba (UCO), and CIBEROBN have published a study that demonstrates that patients with prediabetes (healthy people with slightly high glucose levels butNot enough to be considered diabetic), they have high levels of triglycerides in blood after meals, which translates into a lower capacity of the organism to assimilate fats and therefore a greater risk to develop diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases.
The study has allowed to deepen the origin of this alteration, allowing to know more precisely the mechanisms that relate diabetes and metabolism of fats.
Hepatic Insulin Resistance Both in prediabetic and diabetic patieves work determines postprandial lipoprotein metabolism: from the cordoprev study published in Cardiovascular Diabetology, conducted by Dr. Ana León and led by doctors Pablo Pérez Martínez and José López Miranda, is part of the CordioPrev study, which aims to determine if healthy diet models have healing effect on heart patients.The CordioPrev study is the first of this type in the world and is an important advance in the knowledge of the importance of lifestyle in cardiovascular prevention.
The project, in which more than 30 researchers led by doctors Francisco Pérez Jiménez and José López Miranda participate, has the support of multiple public and private institutions.The authors conclude that "the regular practice of exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and following a Mediterranean diet is essential to delay or prevent the appearance of diabetes and cardiovascular events."
