Insulin sensitivity: modulation by nutrients and inflammation.
Insulin resistance is a major metabolic feature of obesity and is a key factor in the etiology of a number of diseases, including type 2 diabetes. In this review, we discuss potential mechanisms by which brief nutrient excess and obesity lead to insulin resistance and propose that these mechanisms of action are different but interrelated. We discuss how pathways that "sense" nutrients within sk...
متن کاملCholinergic Receptor Sensitivity Following Pharmacological Modulation of the Immune System
Objective. To study the effect of immunomodulators on learning and memory and on cholinergic receptor sensitivity. Methods. Animals were initially treated for a period of 8 days with cyclosporine/levamisole/saline. They were then subjected to passive avoidance training and 48 hrs later, the retention test for the passive avoidance task was conducted. Twenty-four hours after the retention tests ...
متن کاملCross-Talk between PPARγ and Insulin Signaling and Modulation of Insulin Sensitivity
PPARgamma activation in type 2 diabetic patients results in a marked improvement in insulin and glucose parameters, resulting from an improvement of whole-body insulin sensitivity. Adipose tissue is the major mediator of PPARgamma action on insulin sensitivity. PPARgamma activation in mature adipocytes induces the expression of a number of genes involved in the insulin signaling cascade, thereb...
متن کاملEndogenous insulin and insulin sensitivity
Results There was a significant inverse correlation between forearm blood flow and insulin sensitivity (r="0·67, P=0·03), patients with lesser degrees of insulin sensitivity having the greater forearm blood flows. There was no correlation with the other haemodynamic or neurohumoral parameters. Patients with greater insulin resistance tended to have higher circulating endogenous insulin levels, ...
متن کاملModulation of insulin signalling by insulin sensitizers.
Insulin resistance is a hallmark of Type II diabetes. It is well documented that insulin sensitizers such as peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma agonists and aspirin improve insulin action in vivo. The detailed mechanisms by which the insulin sensitizers promote insulin signalling, however, are not completely understood and remain somewhat controversial. In the present review, we s...
