erginhoca.com – YDS Reading Vocabulary Test 44: Insulin Resistance
The effect of obesity on insulin levels is
particularly worrying. Insulin, produced by the
pancreas, has many jobs, including delivering
sugar to cells to provide them with energy. But
inflammation and inappropriate fat storage may
keep cells from responding properly to the
hormone, causing so-called insulin resistance.
This prompts the pancreas to pump out more and
more of it. Eventually blood-sugar levels rise out
of control and the patient develops diabetes. High
levels of blood sugar can lead to blindness as
blood vessels swell or grow on the retina; kidney
disease as the body’s natural filters are
overwhelmed; and loss of limbs because of
damage to nerves and blood vessels. Excess
insulin causes harm in other ways, too. People
who are obese and diabetic are more likely to
contract certain cancers and die from them. This
may be because excess insulin supplies glucose
to cancer cells, helping them replicate.
Epidemiological studies confirm the hidden
dangers of obesity. In a series of surveys of more
than 200,000 American health workers since the
1970s, those who had gained 5-11kg over the
period were up to three times as likely to have
diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease
as those who had kept their weight steadier.
1.
It can be inferred from the passage that the
prevalence of high blood sugar -----.
a) increases the likelihood of getting permanent
damage from subsequent conditions
b) has the most profound impact on kidneys
contrary to what was previously thought
c) is a natural barrier that noticeably slows down
the replication of cancer cells

Türkçe Çeviri
Obezitenin insülin seviyesi üzerindeki etkisi özellikle
endişe vericidir. Pankreas tarafından üretilen insülinin
hücrelere şeker iletmek ve enerji sağlamayı içermek
üzere bir çok görevi vardır. Fakat, iltihap ve uygunsuz
yağ depolanması hücrelerin hormona düzgünce tepki
vermesini engelleyebilir, bu da insülin direnci adı
verilen duruma sebep olmaktadır. Bu pankreası
gitgide daha fazla insülin pompalamaya zorlar. En
nihayetinde kan şekeri seviyeleri kontrolden çıkar ve
hasta şeker hastalığı geliştirir. Yüksek kan şekeri
seviyesi retinadaki kan damarları şiştiğinden ya da
büyüdüğünden körlüğe, vücudun doğal filtreleri aşırı
yüklendiğinden böbrek hastalığına ve sinirler ile kan
damarlarıına yönelik hasar yüzünden uzuv kaybına yol
açabilir. Aşırı insülin başka zararlara da yol açabilir.
Obez olan ve şeker hastalığına sebep olan insanların
çeşitli kanserlere yakalanmaları ve ölmeleri daha
olasıdır. Bu aşırı insülinin kanser hücrelerine glükoz
sağlayıp kopyalanmalarına yardımcı olduğundan
olabilir. Bilimsel çalışmalar obezitinin gizli tehlikelerini
onaylıyor. 1970’lerden beri 200,000 Amerikan sağlık
işçisi üzerinden uygulanan bir dizi ankette, dönem
boyunca ağırlığını dengede tutanlara göre 5-11 kg
alan kişilerin şeker, tansiyon ve kalp hastalığına
yakalanma olasılığı 3 kata kadar daha olasıdır.
