Normally, glucose metabolism is strictly regulated by liver and pancreatic hormones such as insulin and glucagon. In individuals with type II diabetes, glucose regulation is altered due to the overconsumption of sugar, leading to insulin resistance and abnormally high concentrations of glucose in the blood.
Intermittent fasting, a time-restricted eating regimen, has proven to help increase insulin sensitivity and secretion, thus mitigating the symptoms of type II diabetes. The effects of intermittent fasting are achieved through three main pathways: 1. the Circadian Rhythm and Glucagon Regulation of Cyclic AMP Element-Binding Protein (CREB), 2. Ketone Body Reduction of Oxidative Stress, 3. Glucagon-Mediated Insulin Secretion.
Each of these pathways mentioned above contribute to the effects of intermittent fasting on type II diabetes, and will be discussed further in the chemical pathways page.
I really enjoy this answer page. I think it perfectly refers to the theme of your project without going into the intimate details of the intermittent fasting solution. I have no real criticisms here 🙂
Nice and concise! The brief summary of how intermittent fasting impacts Type II diabetes through the three main pathways complements the overall comprehensiveness of this website. It efficiently provides a quick answer to the question without overlooking crucial details. It’s clear that your group has put a lot of passion into this project, evident in the stunning diagrams and impeccable organization across the pages. Well done!
This answer page did a really great job at compactly listing the main points of the website! You introduce this initial problem of reduced insulin sensitivity due to type II diabetes, and then methodically reference the integral pathways involved in intermittent fasting. It really makes searching for the most relevant information very quick and easy. Awesome work!
This page does a great job at briefly answering the big question and also introducing future topics. However, a sentence explaining what exactly insulin resistance is, not just what it causes, would be advantageous.
A hyperlink to the background page was added: the background explains what insulin resistance is.
Once again here, I appreciate the concise writing. This page provided a clear layout of how intermittent fasting alleviates the symptoms of type II diabetes. I liked having the reference to where each pathway is discussed in detail.
