Quantification of adipose tissue insulin sensitivity.
In metabolically healthy humans, adipose tissue is exquisitely sensitive to insulin. Similar to muscle and liver, adipose tissue lipolysis is insulin resistant in adults with central obesity and type 2 diabetes. Perhaps uniquely, however, insulin resistance in adipose tissue may directly contribute to development of insulin resistance in muscle and liver because of the increased delivery of fre...
متن کاملAdipose tissue insulin sensitivity and macrophage recruitment
In the United States, obesity is a burgeoning health crisis, with over 30% of adults and nearly 20% of children classified as obese. Insulin resistance, a common metabolic complication associated with obesity, significantly increases the risk of developing metabolic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. With the seminal finding that...
متن کاملTemperature-Acclimated Brown Adipose Tissue Modulates Insulin Sensitivity in Humans
In rodents, brown adipose tissue (BAT) regulates cold- and diet-induced thermogenesis (CIT; DIT). Whether BAT recruitment is reversible and how it impacts on energy metabolism have not been investigated in humans. We examined the effects of temperature acclimation on BAT, energy balance, and substrate metabolism in a prospective crossover study of 4-month duration, consisting of four consecutiv...
متن کاملBrown adipose tissue regulates glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity.
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is known to function in the dissipation of chemical energy in response to cold or excess feeding, and also has the capacity to modulate energy balance. To test the hypothesis that BAT is fundamental to the regulation of glucose homeostasis, we transplanted BAT from male donor mice into the visceral cavity of age- and sex-matched recipient mice. By 8-12 weeks following...
متن کاملAdipose Tissue Hypoxia: Effects on Metabolism and Insulin Sensitivity
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. These risks have been correlated with a chronic inflammatory response of the adipose tissue that affects glucose and lipid metabolism. Hypoxia, stemming from inadequate adipose tissue blood flow in obesity, has been shown to be an important contributor to this inflammatory response. The response to hypoxia i...
