Gastric inhibitory polypeptide links overnutrition to obesity.
Obesity and diabetes are two of the most prevalent health conditions in industrial nations. Recent studies suggest that a gut derived peptide, gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), may be involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and obesity induced by overnutrition. 2 The “thrifty genotype” hypothesis suggests that those who are prone to obesity have been favoured by natural selection in...
متن کاملIKKβ links vascular inflammation to obesity and atherosclerosis
IκB kinase β (IKKβ), a central coordinator of inflammatory responses through activation of NF-κB, has been implicated in vascular pathologies, but its role in atherogenesis remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that IKKβ functions in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to regulate vascular inflammatory responses and atherosclerosis development. IKKβ deficiency in SMCs driven by a SM22Cre-IKKβ-flox syste...
متن کاملInflammatory links between obesity and metabolic disease.
The obesity epidemic has forced us to evaluate the role of inflammation in the health complications of obesity. This has led to a convergence of the fields of immunology and nutrient physiology and the understanding that they are inextricably linked. The reframing of obesity as an inflammatory condition has had a wide impact on our conceptualization of obesity-associated diseases. In this Revie...
متن کاملAdipokines: molecular links between obesity and atheroslcerosis.
Atherosclerotic disease remains the leading cause of death in industrialized nations despite major advances in its diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The increasing epidemic of obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes will likely add to this burden. Increasingly, it is becoming apparent that adipose tissue is an active endocrine and paracrine organ that releases several bioactive mediators ...
متن کاملNutrient availability links mitochondria, apoptosis, and obesity
Mitochondria are the dominant source of the cellular energy requirements through oxidative phosphorylation, but they are also central players in apoptosis. Nutrient availability may have been the main evolutionary driving force behind these opposite mitochondrial functions: production of energy to sustain life and release of apoptotic proteins to trigger cell death. Here, we explore the link be...
