Endothelin limits insulin action in obese/insulin-resistant humans.
The normal action of insulin to vasodilate and redistribute blood flow in support of skeletal muscle metabolism is impaired in insulin-resistant states. Increased endogenous endothelin contributes to endothelial dysfunction in obesity and diabetes. Here, we test the hypothesis that increased endogenous endothelin action also contributes to skeletal muscle insulin resistance via impairments in i...
متن کاملEndogenous endothelin-1 limits exercise-induced vasodilation in hypertensive humans.
Essential hypertension is a common disorder, associated with increased endothelin-1-mediated vasoconstrictor tone at rest. We hypothesized that increased vasoconstrictor activity of endothelin-1 might explain why the normal decrease in peripheral vascular resistance in response to exercise is attenuated in hypertensive patients. Therefore, we investigated the effect of endothelin A (ET(A)) rece...
متن کاملDietary carbohydrates and insulin action in humans.
The metabolic syndrome represents a vicious cycle whereby insulin resistance leads to compensatory hyperinsulinaemia, which maintains normal plasma glucose but may exacerbate insulin resistance. Excess insulin secretion may eventually reduce beta-cell function due to amyloid deposition, leading to raised blood glucose and further deterioration of beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity via g...
متن کاملDietary fat and insulin action in humans.
A high intake of fat may increase the risk of obesity. Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, is an important determinant of the risk of developing insulin resistance and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. It is suggested that a high proportion of fat in the diet is associated with impaired insulin sensitivity and an increased risk of developing diabetes, independent of obesity and body f...
متن کاملDefective insulin response of phosphorylase phosphatase in insulin-resistant humans.
Insulin-stimulated glycogen synthase activity in human muscle is reduced in insulin-resistant subjects. Insulin regulation of human muscle glycogen synthase may require activation of a type-1 protein phosphatase (PP-1). We investigated the change of phosphorylase phosphatase and glycogen synthase activities in muscle biopsies obtained during a 2-h hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp in 12 insulin...
