Identifying Potential biomarkers of
insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance
in obese patients
By Haya Alsulaiti
1. Rapidly changing lifestyle, accompanied by consumption of excess energy in the form of a calorie-rich high-fat diet, lower voluntary activity, and increased exposure to environmental pollutants, have led to an exponential rise in noncommunicable metabolic diseases (this thesis).
2. Obesity and diabetes are part of a life-threatening legacy (Stephen Furst).
3. Obesity is associated with increased incidents of diabetes, but some obese individuals are seemingly protected from obesity-associated comorbidities (this thesis).
4. Our bodies carry the secret of our own salvation. If we understand what makes one survive an inevitable sickness, we could help the less fortunate ones (Mohamed Elrayess).
5. Dietary fat, whether saturated or not, is not a cause of obesity, heart disease or any other chronic disease of civilization (Andrew Wei)
6. Issues like obesity do, as you well know, have a knock-on effect to diabetes. So we all are better off if we invest early in prevention (Jacinda Ardern).
7. Prevention is better than intervention (Desiderius Erasmus).
8. If we don't somehow stem the tide of childhood obesity, we're going to have a huge problem. (Lance Armstrong).
9. We must pay greater attention to keeping our bodies and minds healthy and able to heal. Yet we are making it difficult for our defenses to work. We allow things to be sold that should not be called food. Many have no nutritive value and lead to obesity, salt imbalance, and allergies (David Suzuki)
10. If you play hard and work hard you will have nothing to worry about it (Haya Al-Sulaiti).
