Insulin Resistance: Molecular Mechanism
Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle is present in humans with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus) and obesity and in rodents with these disorders. Malonyl CoA is a regulator of carnitine palmitoyl transferase l (CAP I), the enzyme that controls the transfer of long chain fatty acyl CoA into mitochondria, where it is oxidized. In rat skeletal muscle, the formation of malo...
متن کاملThe molecular mechanism linking muscle fat accumulation to insulin resistance.
Skeletal muscle insulin resistance is a co-morbidity of obesity and a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Insulin resistance is associated with the accumulation of intramyocellular lipids. Intramyocellular triacylglycerols do not appear to be the cause of insulin resistance but are more likely to be a marker of other lipid intermediates such as fatty acyl-CoA, ceramides...
متن کاملResistance mechanism of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 protease to inhibitors: A molecular dynamic approach
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors comprise an important class of drugs used in HIV treatments. However, mutations of protease genes accelerated by low fidelity of reverse transcriptase yield drug resistant mutants of reduced affinities for the inhibitors. This problem is considered to be a serious barrier against HIV treatment for the foreseeable future. In this st...
متن کاملThe insulin receptor and the molecular mechanism of insulin action.
In humans and most other vertebrates, the primary hormone involved in control of blood glucose is insulin. Insulin acts on cells to stimulate glucose, protein, and lipid metabolism, as well as RNA and DNA synthesis, by modifying the activity of a variety of enzymes and transport processes. The importance ofunderstanding insulin action is not limited to simply satisfying the intellectual needs o...
متن کامل[Molecular Mechanisms of Insulin Resistance: An Update].
The biological actions of insulin are initiated by activating its membrane receptor, which triggers multiple signaling pathways to mediate their biological actions. Due to the importance of metabolic regulation and promoting functions of cell growth and proliferation, insulin actions are highly regulated to promote proper metabolic functioning and energy balance. If these mechanisms are altered...
