TL;DR: The role of free fatty acid (FFA) as a cause for insulin resistance in obese people is described and increased plasma FFA levels are an important cause of obesity-associated insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease.
Abstract: Purpose of reviewTo describe the role of free fatty acid (FFA) as a cause for insulin resistance in obese people.Recent findingsElevated plasma FFA levels can account for a large part of insulin resistance in obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance is clinically important because it

TL;DR: New studies show that enteric 5-HT is a polyfunctional signalling molecule, acting both in developing and mature animals as a neurotransmitter paracrine factor, endocrine hormone and growth factor.
Abstract: Purpose of reviewAlthough the gut contains most of the body's 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), many of its most important functions have recently been discovered. This review summarizes and directs attention to this new burst of knowledge.Recent findingsEnteroendocrine cells have classically been regarde

TL;DR: The need to better understand the mechanisms linking visceral adiposity with liver fat accumulation, the mechanisms by which ectopic fat accumulation cause insulin resistance, and the size of adipose tissue depots is determined is underscored.
Abstract: Purpose of review
The association between obesity and insulin resistance is an area of much interest and enormous public health impact, with hundreds of articles being published in the last year focused on the possible mechanisms that underlie this association. The purpose to this review is to highlight some of the key recent literature with emphasis on emerging concepts.

TL;DR: The somatogenic and lactogenic hormones of the placenta and maternal pituitary gland integrate the metabolic adaptations of pregnancy with the demands of fetal and neonatal development and may adversely impact fetal growth and postnatal metabolic function.
Abstract: Purpose of reviewTo examine the roles of the placental and pituitary hormones in the control of maternal metabolism and fetal growth.Recent findingsIn addition to promoting growth of maternal tissues, placental growth hormone (GH-V) induces maternal insulin resistance and thereby facilitates the mob
