Journal ArticleDOI
Intramuscular triglyceride and muscle insulin sensitivity: evidence for a relationship in nondiabetic subjects.
D.I.W. Phillips,D.I.W. Phillips,S. Caddy,S. Caddy,Vera Ilic,Vera Ilic,Barbara A. Fielding,Barbara A. Fielding,Keith N. Frayn,Keith N. Frayn,A.C. Borthwick,A.C. Borthwick,Roy Taylor,Roy Taylor +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increased muscle TG stores are associated with decreased insulin-stimulated glycogen synthase activity, which may underlie a major part of the insulin resistance in normal subjects, as well as type II diabetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substituting dietary saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat changes abdominal fat distribution and improves insulin sensitivity
Lucinda K. M. Summers,Barbara A. Fielding,H. A. Bradshaw,Vera Ilic,Carine Beysen,M. L. Clark,N. R. Moore,Keith N. Frayn +7 more
TL;DR: Dietary manipulation would be more readily achieved by the general population than the current recommendations and could result in considerable improvement in insulin sensitivity, reducing the risk of developing Type II diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired Postprandial Adipose Tissue Blood Flow Response Is Related to Aspects of Insulin Sensitivity
Fredrik Karpe,Barbara A. Fielding,Vera Ilic,Ian A. Macdonald,Lucinda K. M. Summers,Keith N. Frayn +5 more
TL;DR: There is a close relationship between insulin sensitivity and the regulation of postprandial ATBF, independent of adiposity, and impaired regulation of ATBF seems to be another facet of the insulin resistance syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake of individual fatty acids into adipose tissue in relation to their presence in the diet
Lucinda K. M. Summers,Sophie C Barnes,Barbara A. Fielding,Carine Beysen,Vera Ilic,Sandy M. Humphreys,Keith N. Frayn +6 more
TL;DR: The characteristic fatty acid pattern of adipose tissue may predominantly reflect the early metabolic handling of different fatty acids, which is slow in relation to that of other fatty acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of insulin on adipose tissue blood flow in man.
Fredrik Karpe,Barbara A. Fielding,Jean-Luc Ardilouze,Vera Ilic,Ian A. Macdonald,Keith N. Frayn +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that whilst insulin does not have a direct effect on ATBF, it is likely to be an important mediator, possibly acting via sympathetic activation, in the postprandial state, other candidate peptides and hormones are also likely to play important roles.
