Irisin Is Expressed and Produced by Human Muscle and Adipose Tissue in Association With Obesity and Insulin Resistance

TL;DR: Investigation of FNDC5 gene expression in human muscle and adipose tissue and circulating irisin according to obesity, insulin sensitivity, and type 2 diabetes suggests a loss of brown-like characteristics and a potential target for therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) as a marker of obesity-related insulin resistance

TL;DR: LBP is an inflammatory marker associated with obesity-related insulin resistance and was significantly associated with insulin sensitivity and different inflammatory markers and decreased after weight loss in association with changes in body mass index and insulin sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

OCT1 Expression in Adipocytes Could Contribute to Increased Metformin Action in Obese Subjects

TL;DR: Investigation of the gene expression and protein levels of OCT-1 and OCT-2 in adipose tissue and during adipogenesis and their possible role in metformin action on adipocytes concluded that increased OCT1 gene expression in adipOSE tissue of obese subjects might contribute to increased met formin action in these subjects.
