Diabetes Risk with Stress and Obesitivitas
The study for 62 healthy, non-diabetic black women, were asked to recall stressful events. Like it, the researchers measured the women of glucose and adrenaline, the “fight or flight” hormone, in response to stress. Women with high levels of epinephrine (25 or more picograms per milliliter of blood), while pointing out stress and with more abdominal fat (33% or more of total body fat) had significantly higher fasting glucose levels (over 100 milligrams per deciliter ) than women with lower levels of epinephrine and less abdominal fat (85 mg / dl). A fasting blood sugar of 100 mg / dl than in the low range of pre-diabetes, and an altitude of 125 mg / dL is the standard for type 2 diabetes.
Women with high epinephrine and more abdominal fat even greater increases in blood glucose levels during the stress test. The results were to be presented this week at the annual scientific meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society.
“Even if we do not fully understand the nature of the society, women with abdominal obesity may be vulnerable to the effects of stress - what your body to increase blood sugar rises, and their risk for diabetes,” said Georgiades.
Further research is needed to determine how epinephrine production affects blood glucose levels in black women. Almost a quarter of black women in the United States have type 2 diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association./American Psychosomatic Society, news release
