Abstract

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), historically an adult disease, is now increasingly prevalent in obese youth. Poor diet and increased sedentary behavior contribute to the increasing rates of obesity in youth, yet not all obese children develop T2DM. In general, T2DM is characterized by both insulin resistance (IR) and pancreatic beta-cell insufficiency. In children, IR is related to elevated body mass index (BMI) and pubertal hormones, along with abnormal fat partitioning, elevated free fatty acids, inflammation, and/or mitochondrial dysfunction. Hyperglycemia and T2DM develop when the pancreas cannot match the increased insulin demands resulting from IR. Unique to youth, IR varies with stage of pubertal development, and some children may have resolution of hyperglycemia post-puberty once the IR of puberty resolves. Further understanding of IR, the progression to T2DM in youth, and later outcomes as adults will help direct future therapies and interventions for youth at risk.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Obese adolescents are reported to have chronically raised circulating free fatty acids, which reduce insulin sensitivity and may increase reactive oxygen species and impair insulin secretion.

    “Compared with non-obese adolescents, obese adolescents are reported to have chronically increased circulating free fatty acids (FFA) which decrease insulin sensitivity and may contribute to increased reactive oxygen species and impair insulin secretion 29 .”

    From Type 2 diabetes in adolescents and young adults (2018) · cites this paper as [29]

    The “Mechanisms of Insulin Resistance in Children with T2DM” section reports increased FFA concentrations in obese children and describes how FFA can decrease insulin sensitivity, increase reactive oxygen species, and lead to defective insulin secretion. It does not establish that the FFA elevation is chronic or explicitly compare FFA concentrations in obese and non-obese adolescents. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
