Macrophages and Adipocytes in Human Obesity Adipose Tissue Gene Expression and Insulin Sensitivity During Calorie Restriction and Weight Stabilization

چکیده
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Twenty-two obese women followed a dietary intervention program composed of an energy restriction phase with a 4-week very-low-calorie diet and a weight stabilization period composed of a 2-month low-calorie diet followed by 3–4 months of a weight maintenance diet. At each time point, a euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp and subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies were performed. Adipose tissue gene expression profiling was performed using a DNA microarray in a subgroup of eight women. RT–quantitative PCR was used for determination of mRNA levels of 31 adipose tissue macrophage markers (n 22).

Macrophages and Adipocytes in Human Obesity
OBJECTIVE We investigated the regulation of adipose tissue gene expression during different phases of a dietary weight loss program and its relation with insulin sensitivity.

متن کاملMetformin and Pioglitazone Reduce Gene Expression of Inflammatory Factors in Insulin Resistant and Hypertrophied Adipocytes
Objective: In obesity, chronic low grade inflammation, created by induction of pro-inflammatory markers, causes adipocyte dysfunction in adipose tissue. Adipocytes dysfunction is associated with various diseases including insulin resistance and obesity. In obesity, inflammatory factors such as osteopontin (OPN), angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl2) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) are...
متن کاملEffects of Endurance Training on the Expression of Cathepsin B (CTSB) and Cathepsin L (CTSL) genes in the Adipose Tissue of Mice with a High-Fat Diet
Introduction: In high-fat diet-induced obesity, the levels of cathepsin L (CTSL) and cathepsin B (CTSB) increase in adipocytes, resulting in insulin resistance in the adipose tissue. In this study, the preventive effect of endurance training on the gene expression of CTSL and CTSB was investigated in the adipose tissue of mice with a high-fat diet. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one male mice (a...
متن کاملAssociation of some dietary intakes, anthropometric measurements and insulin resistance with the relative P53 gene expression in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in obese, and non-obese subjects
Background and Objectives: The P53 is one of the genes involved in weight management. This study investigated associations of dietary intakes, anthropometric measurements and insulin resistance with relative P53 gene expressions. Materials & Methods: Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) were collected from 151 individuals, aging nearly 40 years, who underwent el...
متن کاملCalorie restriction reduces pinealectomy-induced insulin resistance by improving GLUT4 gene expression and its translocation to the plasma membrane.
The present study aimed to investigate insulin sensitivity and GLUT4 expression protein in pinealectomized rats, as well as to determining the effects of melatonin and calorie restriction on the changes induced by pinealectomy. Wistar rats were pinealectomized (Pinx) or sham operated (Sham), and studied 30 days later. Melatonin replacement treatment (50 g/100 g body weight) was continued for 30...
