TNF-alpha acts in the hypothalamus inhibiting food intake and increasing the respiratory quotient - Effects on leptin and insulin signaling pathways
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-05-01)
Acting in the hypothalamus, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) produces a potent anorexigenic effect. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in this phenomenon are poorly characterized. In this study, we investigate ...
Characterization of the regenerated Insulin-producing cells following pancreatic β-cell destruction in zebrafish
(2021)
Restoring damaged β-cells in diabetic patients by harnessing the plasticity of other
pancreatic cells raises the questions of the efficiency of the process and of the
functionality of the new Insulin-expressing cells. ...
Altered Steroid Metabolism and Insulin Signaling in PCOS Endometria: Impact in Tissue Function
(Bentham Science, 2016)
Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine/metabolic disorder characterized by hyperandrogenemia and in most cases, by hyper-insulinemia in addition to obesity. Besides ovarian dysfunction, ...
Resveratrol reduces chronic inflammation and improves insulin action in the myocardium of high-fat diet-induced obeserats
(Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas, 2014-04-01)
OBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito do resveratrol sobre a via de sinalização da insulina e melhora do quadro inflamatório no miocárdio de ratos Wistar obesos induzidos por dieta.MÉTODOS: Ratos Wistar foram divididos em grupos: ...
Metabolic Features Across the Female Life Span in Women with PCOS
(Bentham Science, 2016)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a highly prevalent endocrine metabolic disorder and is presently considered a family pathology. It is associated with obesity, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Racial, ethnic ...
Association between plasma fatty acids and inflammatory markers in patients with and without insulin resistance and in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, a cross-sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2018)
Abstract
Background
Proinflammatory biomarkers levels are increased among patients with cardiovascular disease, and it is known that both the presence of insulin resistance ...
Regulation of hepatic TRB3/Akt interaction induced by physical exercise and its effect on the hepatic glucose production in an insulin resistance state
(2015)
To maintain euglycemia in healthy organisms, hepatic glucose production is increased during fasting and decreased during the postprandial period. This whole process is supported by insulin levels. These responses are ...
Prenatal stress promotes insulin resistance without inflammation or obesity in C57BL/6J male mice
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-09)
During gestation, stress exposure increases the risk of developing cognitive and physiological alterations in either the long or short term. Among them, metabolic alterations have been described. Adipose tissue is responsible ...
La microbiota intestinal: Un nuevo actor en el desarrollo de la obesidad
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2010)
A δ-cell subpopulation with a pro-β-cell identity contributes to efficient age-independent recovery in a zebrafish model of diabetes
(2022)
Restoring damaged β-cells in diabetic patients by harnessing the plasticity of other pancreatic cells raises the questions of the efficiency of the process and of the functionality of the new Insulin-expressing cells. To ...
