OBJECTIVE
Low-molecular weight chromium compounds, such as chromium picolinate [Cr(pic)(3)], improve insulin sensitivity, although toxicity is a concern. We synthesized a novel chromium complex, chromium (d-phenylalanine)(3) [Cr(d-phe)(3)], in an attempt to improve insulin sensitivity with reduced
The effect of weight loss from long-term, mild-calorie diets (MCD) on plasma metabolites is unknown. This study was to examine whether MCD-induced weight reduction caused changes in the extended plasma metabolites. Overweight and obese subjects aged 40-59 years consumed a MCD (approximately 100
BACKGROUND
Human obesity is associated with increased serum phenylalanine concentration, which is probably caused by liver dysfunction related to liver steatosis. This study examines whether improvements of liver function after bariatric surgery is associated with a decrease of serum phenylalanine
L-Phenylalanine (Phe), is a potent releaser of the satiety hormone, cholecystokinin (CCK) and previous studies, conducted primarily in men, show that ingestion of Phe reduces energy intake. The objective of the current study was to test the effects of Phe on energy intake in overweight and obese
We assessed the plasma amino acids, glucose, and insulin responses of obese and lean control subjects to midafternoon carbohydrate snacks. After a standard 400 kcal lunch, eight lean and nine obese subjects received, at 2PM, a 30 g sucrose snack; blood samples were obtained at hourly intervals until
11 normal obese subjects were fasted for 33 days. In five, who served as controls, urine urea nitrogen excretion remained constant for 2 wk thereafter. The other six were given seven daily infusions containing 6-8 mmol each of the alpha-keto-analogues of valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine,
We assessed the relationship between energy-adjusted amino acids (EAA) intakes and obesity risk using data on nutrient intakes derived from the Chinese food composition tables to determine dietary intakes (DI) among 1109 obese and 3009 normal weight subjects. Dietary patterns (DP) were identified
We aimed to identify metabolites involved in the anti-obesity effects of Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice using mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomic techniques. C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups: normal diet (ND)-fed mice, HFD-fed mice, HFD with 1% PG
We have recently shown that a novel signalling kinase, inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 (IP6K1), is implicated in whole-body insulin resistance via its inhibitory action on Akt. Insulin and insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) share many intracellular processes with both known to Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with decreased cardiac function, especially in high risk populations such as obese ones. In this study, impacts of PM2.5 exposure on cardiac function were investigated by using the diet-induced obesity mice model. Mice
OBJECTIVE
Weight loss improves insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in obese subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), but the long term dynamic effects on blood metabolites other than glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), are largely unknown. Here, we studied changes in
Insulin resistance (IR) is one of the main risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Nevertheless, its underlying pathophysiology is not completely established because IR is triggered by a complex interconnection of numerous factors impairing metabolism, promoting metabolome The objectives of this study were to identify potential alterations in gene expression of melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4-R), proopiomelanocortin (POMC), and Agouti-related protein (AgRP) in mouse hypothalamus under a chronic peripheral infusion of leptin or at early (8 weeks) and advanced (16 weeks)
High-circulating lipid availability attenuates protein feeding-induced muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Whether the combined effects of exercise and protein ingestion can rescue this inhibition is unknown. In a parallel-groups design, middle-aged sedentary males (n = 28) matched for fat-free
To investigate the tissue growth and the protein synthesis in vivo in nutritional obesity we used lipid-rich multichoice diet feeding. Young male rats of the Wistar strain were divided in two groups: control and obese. Control rats were fed pelleted nonpurified diet. Obese rats were fed a
