Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin treatment reverses the insulin resistance of type II diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The postreceptor defect in insulin-stimulated glucose disposal is largely ameliorated by exogenous insulin treatment, suggesting that this defects in insulin action is an acquired abnormality which is secondary to some aspect of the insulin-deficient state.
Journal ArticleDOI

LTB4 promotes insulin resistance in obese mice by acting on macrophages, hepatocytes and myocytes

TL;DR: Observations elucidate a novel role of the LTB4–Ltb4r1 signaling pathway in hepatocyte and myocyte insulin resistance, and show that in vivo inhibition of Ltb4 r1 leads to robust insulin-sensitizing effects.

Increased Adipocyte O 2 Consumption Triggers HIF-1a ,C ausing Inf lammation and Insulin Resistance in Obesity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported that early in the course of high-fat diet (HFD) feeding and obesity, adipocyte respiration becomes uncoupled, leading to increased oxygen consumption and a state of relative adipocyte hypoxia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation in obesity, diabetes, and related disorders

TL;DR: In this paper , a review of the current understanding of the mechanisms underlying inflammation in obesity, T2D, and related disorders is presented, and the effect of inflammation on diabetic complications and on the relationship between T2DM and other pathologies.
