Recently, following the rise in obesity prevalence, the incidence of type 2 diabetes rose remarkably. Diabetes is a serious disorder, accompanied by increased risk of developing heart disease, kidney failure, and new cases of blindness. Dietary habits are strongly related to type 2 diabetes. We sought to observe how dietary protein and glycemic index patterns, weight change and/or other predictors we selected relate to insulin resistance change. First, we applied multiple linear regression, and then statistical tool Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) to a clinical data set. Refining the settings, we selected an optimal model. It constituted a good prediction for our problem. According to our results, weight change strongly relates to insulin resistance change. Moreover, weight change and baseline insulin resistance are highly interacting with each other. Together, they have a strong effect on the model performance. Similarly, we observed an interaction between weight change and dietary protein content. Weight change and dietary protein jointly relate to insulin resistance change. Yet we could not detect any relationship between dietary glycemic index and insulin resistance change. The thesis ends with a conclusion and an outlook to future studies.

Discovering missing heritability and early risk prediction for type 2 diabetes: a new perspective for genome-wide association study analysis with the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals' Follow-Up Study
Gul, Husamettin; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Acikel, Cengizhan (2014-12-01)
Background/aim: Despite the rise in type 2 diabetes prevalence worldwide, we do not have a method for early risk prediction. The predictive ability of genetic models has been found to be little or negligible so far. In this study, we aimed to develop a better early risk prediction method for type 2 diabetes.
A Predictive model for type 2 diabetes mellitus based on genomic and phenotypic risk factors
Gül, Hüsamettin; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Department of Health Informatics (2014)
Despite the rise in type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence worldwide, we do not have a method for early T2D risk prediction. Phenotype variables only contribute to risk prediction near the onset or after the development of T2D. The predictive ability of genetic models has been found to be little or negligible so far. T2D has mostly genetic background but the genetic loci identified so far account for only a small fraction (10%) of the overall heritable risk. In this study, we used data from The Nurses' Health Stu...
Validity and reliability of time management questionnaire
ALAY, SEMA; Koçak, Mehmet Settar (SAGE Publications, 2002-01-01)
the purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the 49-item Diabetes Time Management Questionnaire (DTMQ) in individuals with diabetes. The (DTMQ) was designed to assess general time management skills and those specifically relevant to compliance to a diabetes healthcare regimen.
Investigation of effects of hyperlipidemia on IRE1α and insulin pathway in the cerebral cortex of ApoE-/- mice
AK, Deniz; Yanık, Tülin; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2022-1-20)
Obesity prevalence increases worldwide. The most crucial reason for obesity is high-fat diet (HFD). Serum fatty acid levels are increased with HFD, inducing inflammation and glucose homeostasis disruption, leading to insulin signaling impairment linked to metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders in the brain. Glucose uptake of the cells is regulated by insulin through insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins, and disruption of this pathway results in insulin resistance. Hyperlipidemia, a lipid metabolism ...
Evaluation of the effects of maltodextrin and microfluidization on the rheological and textural properties of cookie and cookie dough
Topaloğlu, Tuğçe; Yücel, Umut; Department of Food Engineering (2015)
Several health problems like diabetes and obesity are associated with consumption of highly fatty food, leading consumers to be more conscious about what they eat. This concern has been a driving factor for manufacturers to research and develop low- or reduced-fat products. Therefore, the baking industry finds new ways to respond to the demands. For this reason, fat replacement in bakery products has gained a popularity. Maltodextrin is commonly used to trim fat from bakery products because it gives some pr...
