John Molvin,Manan Pareek,Amra Jujic,Olle Melander,Lennart Råstam,Ulf Lindblad,Bledar Daka,Margret Leosdottir,Margret Leosdottir,Peter M. Nilsson,Michael H. Olsen,Martin Magnusson,Martin Magnusson +12 more
TL;DR: Galectin-4, with an increased risk of diabetes, and Paraoxonase type 3, with a decreased risk of Diabetes, remained significantly associated with incident diabetes after adjusting for plasma glucose, implying a glucose independent association with diabetes.
The association between serum testosterone and insulin resistance: a longitudinal study
TL;DR: Low concentrations of total testosterone at baseline were significantly associated with high logHOMA-Ir at follow-up in a multivariable model including age, waist–hip ratio, physical activity, alcohol intake, smoking, LDL, CRP, hypertension, diabetes and logHomA-ir at baseline as covariates, but high insulin resistance at baseline could not predict low testosterone at following-up.
Insulin resistance predicts early cardiovascular morbidity in men without diabetes mellitus, with effect modification by physical activity.

TL;DR: Insulin resistance predicts CVD in the general population; however, men may be more vulnerable to increased insulin resistance than women, and physically inactive men seem to be at high risk.

Low sex hormone-binding globulin is associated with hypertension: a cross-sectional study in a Swedish population
TL;DR: A strong association between SHBG and blood pressure independent of major determinants of high blood pressure is shown, which might be addressed to direct effects of SHBG in endothelial cells through the receptor for SHBG.

TL;DR: Levels of SHBG predicted the development of insulin resistance in both men and women, regardless of menopausal state.
