Free fatty acid oxidation in insulin resistance and obesity.
نویسنده
چکیده
The growing worldwide epidemic of obesity and diabetes portends a significant increase in cardiovascular disease. Obesity is associated with insulin resistance, and there is growing evidence that these conditions independently increase the risk of heart failure. Changes in myocardial substrate utilization develop in obesity and insulin resistance, and are characterized by increased fatty acid oxidation and utilization, and decreased glucose utilization. This paper will review the evidence for altered myocardial fatty acid utilization in obesity and insulin resistance, review mechanisms that are responsible, and discuss the relative contributions of systemic and myocardial insulin resistance in the regulation of fatty acid utilization in the heart.

The Effects of Simvastatin on Free Fatty Acids Profile in Fructose-fed Insulin Resistant Rats
Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease and free fatty acids, as signaling molecules, can play a crucial role in the development of it. Different free fatty acids, through various cell membrane receptors, induce different effects on metabolic pathways and thereby affect insulin sensitivity. Simvastatin is a cholesterol decreasing drug prescrib...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle fatty acid metabolism in association with insulin resistance, obesity, and weight loss.
The current study was undertaken to investigate fatty acid metabolism by skeletal muscle to examine potential mechanisms that could lead to increased muscle triglyceride in obesity. Sixteen lean and 40 obese research volunteers had leg balance measurement of glucose and free fatty acid (FFA) uptake (fractional extraction of [9,103H]oleate) and indirect calorimetry across the leg to determine su...
متن کاملCentral Leptin Signaling Is Required to Normalize Myocardial Fatty Acid Oxidation Rates in Caloric-Restricted ob/ob Mice
OBJECTIVE ob/ob and db/db mice manifest myocardial hypertrophy, insulin resistance, altered substrate utilization, mitochondrial dysfunction, and lipid accumulation. This study was designed to determine the contribution of central and peripheral leptin signaling to myocardial metabolism and function in ob/ob and db/db mice in the absence of diabetes and morbid obesity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND MET...
متن کاملMitochondria, obesity & diabetes
Mitochondria are essential for ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and their dysfunction may cause energy deficiency in cells resulting in metabolic disorders: obesity and diabetes. Obesity or excessive bodyweight with elevated free fatty acids in the blood stream affects 2.1 billion people worldwide, and one of its adverse consequences is type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM ...
متن کاملBasic disturbances in skeletal muscle fatty acid metabolism in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The present article addresses the hypothesis that disturbances in skeletal muscle fatty acid handling in abdominal obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus may play a role in the aetiology of increased adipose tissue stores, increased triacylglycerol storage in skeletal muscle and skeletal muscle insulin resistance. The uptake and/or oxidation of fatty acids have been shown to be impaired during po...
