Brain Insulin Resistance: Focus on Insulin Receptor-Mitochondria Interactions
Current hypotheses implicate insulin resistance of the brain as a pathogenic factor in the development of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, major depression, and traumatic brain injury.

Examining the role of insulin in the regulation of cardiovascular health [PDF]
A substantial body of evidence has reported that insulin has direct actions on the cardiovascular system independent of its systemic effects on plasma glucose or lipids.

Biphasic modulation of insulin receptor substrate-1 during goitrogenesis
Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is the main intracellular substrate for both insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) receptors and is critical for cell mitogenesis. Thyrotropin is able to induce thyroid cell proliferation through the cyclic

Protein kinase Cε modulates insulin receptor localization and trafficking in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. [PDF]
We have previously shown that deletion of protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) in mice results in protection against glucose intolerance caused by a high fat diet.

Palmitoleic acid prevents palmitic acid-induced macrophage activation and consequent p38 MAPK-mediated-skeletal muscle insulin resistance [PDF]
Obesity and saturated fatty acid (SFA) treatment are both associated with skeletal muscle insulin resistance (IR) and increased macrophage infiltration. However, the relative effects of SFA and unsaturated fatty acid (UFA)-activated macrophages on muscle

Background The metabolic syndrome is a consequence of modern lifestyle that causes synaptic insulin resistance and cognitive deficits and that in interaction with a high amyloid load is an important risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.

Insulin Action on Polyunsaturated Phosphatidic Acid Formation in Rat Brain: An “In Vitro” Model with Synaptic Endings from Cerebral Cortex and Hippocampus [PDF]
The highly efficient formation of phosphatidic acid from exogenous 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (SAG) in rat brain synaptic nerve endings (synaptosomes) from cerebral cortex and hippocampus is reported.

Reduction in BACE1 decreases body weight, protects against diet-induced obesity and enhances insulin sensitivity in mice [PDF]
Insulin resistance and impaired glucose homoeostasis are important indicators of Type 2 diabetes and are early risk factors of AD (Alzheimer's disease).
