|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| regular alcohol-free beer | No effect - did not significantly change | insulin concentrations | Human | subjects with T2DM and overweight or obesity | 66 cL/day of either regular or modified alcohol-free beer. | Effect of an alcohol-free beer enriched with isomaltulose and a resistant dextrin on insulin resistance in diabetic patients with overweight or obesity.cited 24× |
| alcohol-free beer with modified carbohydrate composition (isomaltulose and resistant maltodextrin) | Decreases - significantly decreased | insulin concentrations | Human | subjects with T2DM and overweight or obesity | 66 cL/day of either regular or modified alcohol-free beer. | Effect of an alcohol-free beer enriched with isomaltulose and a resistant dextrin on insulin resistance in diabetic patients with overweight or obesity.cited 24× |
| alcohol-free beer with modified carbohydrate composition (isomaltulose and resistant maltodextrin) | Decreases - led to an improvement | insulin resistance | Human | subjects with T2DM and overweight or obesity | 66 cL/day of either regular or modified alcohol-free beer. | Effect of an alcohol-free beer enriched with isomaltulose and a resistant dextrin on insulin resistance in diabetic patients with overweight or obesity.cited 24× |
| modified alcohol-free beer | Decreases - improvement in | insulin resistance | Human | — | 66 cl day-1 of either regular or modified alcohol-free beer. | An alcohol-free beer enriched with isomaltulose and a resistant dextrin modulates gut microbiome in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and overweight or obesity: a pilot study.cited 22× |
| alcohol consumption | Increases - significantly associated with higher IR risk | insulin resistance (IR) risk | Human | Spanish workers | Not explicitly quantified, but excessive alcohol consumption was linked to higher IR risk. | Association Between Alcohol Consumption, Other Healthy Habits and Sociodemographic Variables and the Values of Different Insulin Resistance Risk Scales in 139,634 Spanish Workers. |
| excessive alcohol intake | Increases - significantly increasing the risk | insulin resistance (IR) | Human | Spanish workers | Not explicitly quantified, but excessive alcohol consumption was linked to higher IR risk. | Association Between Alcohol Consumption, Other Healthy Habits and Sociodemographic Variables and the Values of Different Insulin Resistance Risk Scales in 139,634 Spanish Workers. |
| modified Lieber-DeCarli alcohol (6%) and high-fat (65%) diet (AHF) | Increases - appeared hypertrophied | Insulin expressing islet of Langerhans cells | Animal | Rats fed the AHF diet | High-fat diet (65% fat) and alcohol (6%) | Pharmacological attenuation of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis induced hypersensitivity in rats.cited 17× |
| modified Lieber-DeCarli alcohol (6%) and high-fat (65%) diet (AHF) | Increases - 3.5 fold higher incidence | single and small 2-10 cell insulin-positive cell clusters | Animal | Rats fed the AHF diet | High-fat diet (65% fat) and alcohol (6%) | Pharmacological attenuation of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis induced hypersensitivity in rats.cited 17× |
