An Adipocyte MKK3-p38β Axis Preserves Insulin Responsiveness in Mice and Is Reciprocally Altered in Human Obesity. [PDF]
The adipocyte MKK3–p38β axis emerges as an adaptive stress‐response pathway during obesity. Human visceral adipose tissue analyses, adipocyte‐specific mouse models, and primary adipocytes show that the MKK3–p38β axis supports insulin responsiveness by restraining p70S6K‐dependent inhibitory IRS1 feedback and preserving AKT–GLUT4 signaling. This pathway

Enhanced mitochondrial superoxide scavenging does not Improve muscle insulin action in the high fat-fed mouse [PDF]
Improving mitochondrial oxidant scavenging may be a viable strategy for the treatment of insulin resistance and diabetes. Mice overexpressing the mitochondrial matrix isoform of superoxide dismutase (sod2tg mice) and/or transgenically expressing catalase

Role of Myotonic Dystrophy Protein Kinase [DMPK] in Glucose Homeostasis and Muscle Insulin Action [PDF]
Myotonic dystrophy 1 (DM1) is caused by a CTG expansion in the 3′-unstranslated region of the DMPK gene, which encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase. One of the common clinical features of DM1 patients is insulin resistance, which has been associated

Improvement in Glycemic and Lipid Profiles in Type 2 Diabetics with a 90-Day Ketogenic Diet
Because low-carbohydrate diets are effective strategies to improve insulin resistance, the hallmark of type 2 diabetes, the purpose of reporting these clinical cases was to reveal the meaningful changes observed in 90 days of low-carbohydrate (LC ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

The modification of insulin to enhance oral delivery systems [PDF]
textWhile a number of PEGylated proteins have been studied for injectable applications and reviewers have used this data to speculate possible oral delivery improvements, a detailed investigation of PEGylated insulin for oral delivery and the development

Effect of the dietary fat quality on insulin sensitivity. [PDF]
Recent evidence shows that specific fatty acids affect cell metabolism, modifying the balance between fatty acid oxidation and lipogenesis. These effects may have important implications in addressing the present epidemic of nutrition-related chronic ...

European lipodystrophy registry: background and structure
Background Lipodystrophy syndromes comprise a group of extremely rare and heterogeneous diseases characterized by a selective loss of adipose tissue in the absence of nutritional deprivation or catabolic state. Because of the rarity of each lipodystrophy

The effects of two-week program of individually measured physical activity on insulin resistance in obese non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [PDF]
It is well known that under the influence of regular, individually measured aerobic physical activity, it is possible to raise the biological efficiency of insulin by several mechanisms: by increasing the number of insulin receptors, their sensitivity ...
