Journal ArticleDOI

Inflamed fat: what starts the fire?

TL;DR: The importance of C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) in macrophage recruitment to adipose tissue and the development of obesity and its complications is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

PPARδ regulates glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity

TL;DR: It is shown that PPARδ (NR1C2) knockout mice are metabolically less active and glucose-intolerant, whereas receptor activation in db/db mice improves insulin sensitivity, and gene array and functional analyses suggest that PParδ ameliorates hyperglycemia by increasing glucose flux through the pentose phosphate pathway and enhancing fatty acid synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic Effects of New Oral Hypoglycemic Agent CS-045 in NIDDM Subjects

TL;DR: CS-045 improves insulin resistance, reduces insulinemia, lowers hepatic glucose production, and improves both fasting and postprandial glycemia in NIDDM subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

A rapamycin-sensitive pathway down-regulates insulin signaling via phosphorylation and proteasomal degradation of insulin receptor substrate-1.

TL;DR: Results indicate that insulin-induced serine/threonine phosphorylation and degradation of IRS-1 are mediated by a rapamycin-sensitive pathway, which is downstream of PI 3-kinase and independent of ras/MAP kinase.
