OBJECTIVE
Hepatic steatosis is characterised by excessive triacylglycerol accumulation and is strongly associated with insulin resistance. An inability to efficiently mobilise liver triacylglycerol may be a key event mediating hepatic steatosis. Adipose triacylglycerol lipase (ATGL) is a key
In the present investigation, we studied the effects of thiazolidinedione (TZD) treatment on insulin-stimulated fatty acid (FA) and glucose kinetics in perfused muscle from high-fat (HF)-fed rats. We tested the hypothesis that TZDs prevent FA-induced insulin resistance by attenuating proinflammatory
The JCR:LA-cp rat is obese, insulin resistant, and hyperlipidemic, and the males develop atherosclerosis and ischemic myocardial disease. Benfluorex at 35-40 mg.kg-1 body weight was administered in the food from 10 to 14 weeks of age and resulted in an initial 50% decrease in food consumption. Body
BACKGROUND
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) have been shown to positively affect blood lipids; however, their comparative effects on insulin sensitivity are unclear.
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to investigate whether chronic intake of MUFAs or PUFAs
We studied whether endurance training impacts insulin sensitivity by affecting the structural and storage lipids in humans. Eight male subjects participated (age 25 +/- 1 years, height 178 +/- 3 cm, weight 76 +/- 4 kg [mean +/- SE]). Single-leg training was performed for 30 min/day for 4 weeks at
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is strongly associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in humans. Ongoing research aims to clarify the mechanisms involved in this relationship. Studying pathways that are involved in the dissociation between fatty liver and insulin resistance
Women have been shown to have higher muscle triacylglycerol (IMTG) levels than men and could therefore be expected to have lower insulin sensitivity than men, since previous studies have linked high IMTG to decreased insulin sensitivity. Therefore, insulin sensitivity of whole body and leg glucose
Impaired arterial vasorelaxation, due primarily to endothelial dysfunction, is associated with obesity. To clarify the relationship with insulin resistance and other metabolic disturbances, we studied endothelial-dependent and -independent vascular responses in rats with dietary-induced obesity.
OBJECTIVE
Excessive accumulation of visceral fat is strongly associated with insulin resistance. The present investigation examined the effects of dietary intake of medium- and long-chain triacylglycerols (MLCTs), which have been shown to induce significantly lower visceral fat accumulation in rats
Hyperuricaemia is one of the components of metabolic syndrome. Both oxidative stress and hyperinsulinism are important variables in the genesis of this syndrome and have a close association with uric acid (UA). We evaluated the effect of an oral glucose challenge on UA concentrations. The study
BACKGROUND
Indian Asians in Western countries have a higher rate of coronary artery disease than do the indigenous white populations, and this higher rate may be influenced by a dietary imbalance of n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs).
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study was to test the
OBJECTIVE
Cardiac steatosis and myocardial insulin resistance elevate the risk of cardiac complications in obesity and diabetes. We aimed to disentangle the effects of circulating glucose, insulin and NEFA on myocardial triacylglycerol (TG) content and myocardial glucose uptake.
METHODS
Twenty-two
OBJECTIVE
Triacylglycerol/High density lipoprotein (TAG/HDL) ratio, a surrogate marker of LDL particle size (small dense) was included in our study to observe the link with insulin resistance and thyroid co-morbidity.
METHODS
Ninety three patients with T2DM of both genders were enrolled from a
BACKGROUND
Dietary fat quality may influence skeletal muscle lipid processing and fat accumulation, thereby modulating insulin sensitivity.
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to examine the acute effects of meals with various fatty acid (FA) compositions on skeletal muscle FA processing and postprandial
Fibrates are used as lipid-lowering drugs and are well tolerated as cotreatments when glucose metabolism disturbances are also present. Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are diabetogenic drugs that cause dyslipidemia, dysglycemia, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance when in
