Fatty acids, insulin resistance, and protein metabolism.

Accretion and maintenance of lean body mass, because of its fundamental role in health and disease, continues to be an area of intense investigation. By using sophisticated tracer isotopic methods, organ balance techniques, and molecular analysis of tissue samples in humans and animal models, a detailed analysis of the signaling pathway and metabolic fluxes has been possible. Despite these, und...

Fatty Acids, Obesity and Insulin Resistance

OBJECTIVE Although elevated free fatty acid (FFA) levels in obesity have been considered to be of importance for insulin resistance, a recent meta-analysis suggested normal FFA levels in obese subjects. We investigated fasting circulating FFA and glycerol levels in a large cohort of non-obese and obese subjects. METHODS Subjects recruited for a study on obesity genetics were investigated in t...

Fatty liver in type 2 diabetes mellitus: relation to regional adiposity, fatty acids, and insulin resistance.

The current study was undertaken to examine metabolic and body composition correlates of fatty liver in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Eighty-three men and women with type 2 DM [mean body mass index (BMI): 34 +/- 0.5 kg/m2] and without clinical or laboratory evidence of liver dysfunction had body composition assessments of fat mass (FM), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), liver and spleen computed ...
