PGC-1α protects skeletal muscle from atrophy by suppressing FoxO3 action and atrophy-specific gene transcription

TL;DR: The high levels of P GC-1α in dark and exercising muscles can explain their resistance to atrophy, and the rapid fall in PGC-1 α during atrophy should enhance the FoxO-dependent loss of muscle mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise induces hippocampal BDNF through a PGC-1α/FNDC5 pathway

TL;DR: It is shown that FNDC5, a previously identified muscle protein that is induced in exercise and is cleaved and secreted as irisin, is also elevated by endurance exercise in the hippocampus of mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced tyrosine kinase activity of the insulin receptor in obesity-diabetes. Central role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TNF-alpha participates in obesity-related systemic insulin resistance by inhibiting the IR tyrosine kinase in the two tissues mainly responsible for insulin-stimulated glucose uptake: muscle and fat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutritional and insulin regulation of fatty acid synthetase and leptin gene expression through ADD1/SREBP1.

TL;DR: This paper showed that gene expression in adipose tissue for adipocyte determination differentiation dependent factor (ADD) 1/sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) 1 is reduced dramatically upon fasting and elevated upon refeeding; this parallels closely the regulation of two adipose cell genes that are crucial in energy homeostasis, fatty acid synthetase (FAS) and leptin.
