Type 2 diabetes is often associated with obesity. The number of cases worldwide is increasing rapidly. In type 2 diabetes the body fails to produce enough insulin or does not respond to the insulin that is produced.
It causes a buildup of sugar or glucose in the blood, which in the long run cause damage to organs such as kidneys and cause kidney disease diabetes.
In the latest study, researchers from Anglia Ruskin University using animal models of diabetes and obesity model of diet induced insulin resistance and to investigate how insulin resistance and too much sugar and fat affect glucose receptors in the kidney.
A group of tickets being fed junk food, such as cheese, chocolate, biscuits and marshmallows for 8 weeks. While the other group was given foods rich in fat, about 60 percent fat for five weeks. Researchers then tested the effects of these foods on blood sugar levels and different glucose transporter in the kidney.
