The American journal of psychiatry2003174 influential citations<h4>Objective</h4>This study examined the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose tolerance in first-episode, drug-naive patients with schizophrenia.<h4>Method</h4>In this cross-sectional study, fasting plasma levels of glucose, insulin,…
Acute and long-term effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on glucose metabolism in subjects with Type 2 diabetes and normal glucose tolerance.
American journal of physiology. Endocrinology and metabolism201284 influential citationsOur aim was to study the potential mechanisms responsible for the improvement in glucose control in Type 2 diabetes (T2D) within days after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Thirteen obese subjects with T2D and twelve matched subjects with…
Empagliflozin Improves Insulin Sensitivity of the Hypothalamus in Humans With Prediabetes: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2 Trial.
Diabetes care2022n=4072 influential citationsOBJECTIVE Insulin action in the human brain reduces food intake, improves whole-body insulin sensitivity, and modulates body fat mass and its distribution. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are often associated with brain insulin resistance,…

Insulin resistance after oral glucose tolerance testing in patients with major depression.
The American journal of psychiatry198858 influential citationsAn association between affective disorders and alterations in glucose utilization has been recognized. The authors administered a 5-hour oral glucose tolerance test (GTT) to 28 depressed patients and 21 healthy volunteer control subjects…
Circulating glucose levels modulate neural control of desire for high-calorie foods in humans.
The Journal of clinical investigation201151 influential citationsObesity is a worldwide epidemic resulting in part from the ubiquity of high-calorie foods and food images. Whether obese and nonobese individuals regulate their desire to consume high-calorie foods differently is not clear. We set out to…
Depression, anxiety and glucose metabolism in the general dutch population: the new Hoorn study.
PloS one2010n=6,18030 influential citations<h4>Background</h4>There is a well recognized association between depression and diabetes. However, there is little empirical data about the prevalence of depressive symptoms and anxiety among different groups of glucose metabolism in…
