Interleukin-6 induces cellular insulin resistance in hepatocytes.
Interleukin (IL)-6 is one of several proinflammatory cytokines that have been associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. A two- to threefold elevation of circulating IL-6 has been observed in these conditions. Nonetheless, little evidence supports a direct role for IL-6 in mediating insulin resistance. Here, we present data that IL-6 can inhibit insulin receptor (IR) signal transdu...
متن کاملInsulin Resistance and Serum Levels of Interleukin-17 and Interleukin-18 in Normal Pregnancy
We performed this study to evaluate the role of Interleukin-17 (IL-17) and Interleukin-18 (IL-18) in insulin resistance during normal pregnancy. This descriptive cross sectional study was carried out on 97 healthy pregnant women including 32, 25, and 40 individuals in the first, second, and third trimesters, respectively, and on 28 healthy non pregnant women between the autumn of 2012 and the s...
متن کاملElevated interleukin-18 levels are associated with the metabolic syndrome independent of obesity and insulin resistance.
OBJECTIVE Activated innate immunity is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pleiotropic proinflammatory cytokine with important regulatory functions in the innate immune response. We sought to determine whether an elevated IL-18 concentration was a risk predictor for metabolic syndrome in a community population indepen...
متن کاملInterleukin-18 in plasma and adipose tissue: effects of obesity, insulin resistance, and weight loss.
OBJECTIVE Interleukin (IL)-18 is associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. The present study compared 1) IL-18 in adipocytes versus stromal vascular (SV) cells, 2) IL-18 in plasma and adipose tissue (AT) in obese versus lean subjects, and 3) IL-18 in plasma, AT, and skeletal muscle (SM) in obese subjects after weight loss. SUBJECTS AND METHODS At baseline, plasm...
متن کاملInterleukin-18 Activates Skeletal Muscle AMPK and Reduces Weight Gain and Insulin Resistance in Mice
Circulating interleukin (IL)-18 is elevated in obesity, but paradoxically causes hypophagia. We hypothesized that IL-18 may attenuate high-fat diet (HFD)-induced insulin resistance by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). We studied mice with a global deletion of the α-isoform of the IL-18 receptor (IL-18R(-/-)) fed a standard chow or HFD. We next performed gain-of-function experiment...
