Asprosin, a Fasting-Induced Glucogenic Protein Hormone
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hepatic glucose release into the circulation is vital for brain function and survival during periods of fasting and is modulated by an array of hormones that precisely regulate plasma glucose levels. We have identified a fasting-induced protein hormone that modulates hepatic glucose release. It is the C-terminal cleavage product of profibrillin, and we name it Asprosin. Asprosin is secreted by white adipose, circulates at nanomolar levels, and is recruited to the liver, where it activates the G protein-cAMP-PKA pathway, resulting in rapid glucose release into the circulation. Humans and mice with insulin resistance show pathologically elevated plasma asprosin, and its loss of function via immunologic or genetic means has a profound glucose- and insulin-lowering effect secondary to reduced hepatic glucose release. Asprosin represents a glucogenic protein hormone, and therapeutically targeting it may be beneficial in type II diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Impaired amino acid metabolism contributes to fasting-induced hypoglycemia in fatty acid oxidation defects.
The importance of mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) as a glucose-sparing process is illustrated by patients with inherited defects in FAO, who may present with life-threatening fasting-induced hypoketotic hypoglycemia. It is unknown why peripheral glucose demand outpaces hepatic gluconeogenesis in these patients. In this study, we have systematically addressed the fasting response in l...

Background: Previous in vitro and animal studies have supported a role for growth hormone in development of diabetic nephropathy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between basal and stimulated growth hormone and proteinuria in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: 21 type 2 diabetic patients with macroalbuminuria were selected. Fasting insulin, basal and levodopa stimulated...

متن کاملA Spotlight on Appetite.
Remarkably few hormones have been identified that stimulate appetite. The recent discovery of asprosin, a hormone that activates AgRP neurons to increase food intake and body weight, begins to fill this gap (Duerrschmid et al., 2017; Romere et al., 2016).

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of pair-feeding, nutritional status (fasting vs feeding ad libitum) and supplementing diets with alanine (2 g/kg), threonine (2 g/kg), glutamic acid (5 g/kg) and arginine (5 g/kg) on growth performance, body composition and free plasma amino acid levels in genetically lean (LL) or fat (FL) chickens of 4 to 7 weeks of age. When fed ad lib...
