Aquaglyceroporins serve as metabolic gateways in adiposity and insulin resistance control.
Aquaglyceroporins (AQP3, AQP7, AQP9 and AQP10) encompass a subfamily of aquaporins that allow the movement of water and other small solutes, especially glycerol, through cell membranes. Adipose tissue constitutes a major source of glycerol via AQP7. We have recently reported that, in addition to the well-known expression of AQP7 in adipose tissue, AQP3 and AQP9 are also expressed in omental and...
متن کاملTitle Contribution of visceral adiposity and insulin resistance to metabolic
We investigated the relative impacts of visceral adiposity and insulin resistance on the metabolic risk profile in middle-aged Japanese men. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 636 nondiabetic Japanese men with a mean age of 51.6 years. Visceral adipose tissue (AT) was assessed using computed tomography and insulin resistance was determined by the homeostasis model assessment insulin resis...

متن کاملVisceral adiposity, insulin resistance and cancer risk
BACKGROUND There is a well established link between obesity and cancer. Emerging research is characterising this relationship further and delineating the specific role of excess visceral adiposity, as opposed to simple obesity, in promoting tumorigenesis. This review summarises the evidence from an epidemiological and pathophysiological perspective. METHODS Relevant medical literature was ide...
متن کاملSynergy Between Adiposity, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Risk Factors, and Inflammation in Adolescents
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between inflammatory markers and components of a metabolic syndrome cluster in adolescents. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional analysis of an Australian childhood cohort (n = 1,377) aged 14 years. Cluster analysis defined a "high-risk" group similar to adults with metabolic syndrome. Relevant measures wer...
