Leptin opposes insulin's effects on fatty acid partitioning in muscles isolated from obese ob/obmice.
Because muscle triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation might contribute to insulin resistance in leptin-deficient ob/obmice, we studied the acute (60- to 90-min) effects of leptin and insulin on [14C]glucose and [14C]oleate metabolism in muscles isolated from lean and obese ob/ob mice. In ob/ob soleus, leptin decreased glycogen synthesis 36-46% ( P < 0.05), increased oleate oxidation 26% ( P < 0.05)...
متن کاملDiets Containing α-Linolenic (ω3) or Oleic (ω9) Fatty Acids Rescues Obese Mice From Insulin Resistance.
Subclinical systemic inflammation is a hallmark of obesity and insulin resistance. The results obtained from a number of experimental studies suggest that targeting different components of the inflammatory machinery may result in the improvement of the metabolic phenotype. Unsaturated fatty acids exert antiinflammatory activity through several distinct mechanisms. Here, we tested the capacity o...
متن کاملExpression of PPARα modifies fatty acid effects on insulin secretion in uncoupling protein-2 knockout mice
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS In uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) knockout (KO) mice, protection of beta cells from fatty acid exposure is dependent upon transcriptional events mediated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha). METHODS PPARalpha expression was reduced in isolated islets from UCP2KO and wild-type (WT) mice with siRNA for PPARalpha (siPPARalpha) overnight. Some islets were ...
متن کاملEndocannabinoid-dependent disinhibition of orexinergic neurons: Electrophysiological evidence in leptin-knockout obese mice
OBJECTIVES In the ob/ob mouse model of obesity, chronic absence of leptin causes a significant increase of orexin (OX) production by hypothalamic neurons and excessive food intake. The altered OX level is linked to a dramatic increase of the inhibitory innervation of OX producing neurons (OX neurons) and the over expression of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) by OX neurons of o...
متن کاملDifferential effects of a centrally acting fatty acid synthase inhibitor in lean and obese mice.
C75 is a potent inhibitor of fatty acid synthase that acts centrally to reduce food intake and body weight in mice; a single dose causes a rapid (>90%) decrease of food intake. These effects are associated with inhibition of fasting-induced up-regulation and down-regulation, respectively, of the expression of orexigenic (NPY and AgRP) and anorexigenic (POMC and CART) neuropeptide messages in th...
