Dietary interventions are successful in treating the associated risk factors of metabolic syndrome (Barnard et al., 2009), including the reversal of insulin resistance (Dunaief et al., 2012), increasing insulin sensitivity (Barnard et al., 2005), treating hypertension (Najjar et al., 2018), and reducing body weight (Kahleova et al., 2018). The gene discussed is INS; the disease is metabolic syndrome.
