Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic endotoxemia initiates obesity and insulin resistance

TL;DR: It is concluded that the LPS/CD14 system sets the tone of insulin sensitivity and the onset of diabetes and obesity and lowering plasma LPS concentration could be a potent strategy for the control of metabolic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positive and negative regulation of insulin signaling through IRS-1 phosphorylation

TL;DR: This review will provide insight on the current understanding of the regulation of insulin signaling in both physiological and pathological conditions through modulations that occur with regards to the functions of the insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1).
Journal ArticleDOI

The antidiabetic drug metformin exerts an antitumoral effect in vitro and in vivo through a decrease of cyclin D1 level

TL;DR: Oral and intraperitoneal treatment with metformin led to a 50 and 35% reduction of tumor growth, respectively, in mice bearing xenografts of LNCaP, providing evidence for a mechanism that may contribute to the antineoplastic effects of met formin suggested by recent epidemiological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-1beta-induced insulin resistance in adipocytes through down-regulation of insulin receptor substrate-1 expression.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that IL-1beta reduces IRS-1 expression at a transcriptional level through a mechanism that is ERK dependent and at a posttranscriptional level independently of ERK activation, and could thus participate in concert with other cytokines, in the development of insulin resistance in adipocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metformin, Independent of AMPK, Induces mTOR Inhibition and Cell-Cycle Arrest through REDD1

TL;DR: RedD1 (also known as DDIT4 and RTP801), a negative regulator of mTOR, is identified as a new molecular target of metformin and inhibition of REDD1 reverses meetformin-induced cell-cycle arrest and significantly protects from the deleterious effects of met formin on cell transformation.
