An inadequate intake of manganese may favour insulin resistance in girls

摘要: AIM to study the relationship between an adequate manganese (Mn) intake and glucose, insulin levels resistance among healthy children from Madrid (Spain). MATERIALS AND METHODS 573 schoolchildren 8 13 years old were studied. Energy nutrients (especially Mn) was calculated with a "3-day diet record". Mn compared Adequate Intakes (AI) for this mineral. Weight height measured body mass index (BMI) calculated. Fasting glucose determined HOMA establish presence of in children. RESULTS Girls inadequate (below 100% AI value) had higher values than girls (equal or AI). Having mind confounding factors (energy, carbohydrates lipids intake, BMI age), significant positive correlation found contribution girls. CONCLUSION It seems important ensure order prevent diabetes type 2 future.
