Carbohydrate responsive element-binding protein (ChREBP): a key regulator of glucose metabolism and fat storage.

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Feeding a high carbohydrate diet induces transcription of more than 15 genes involved in the metabolic conversion of glucose to fat, and a new transcription factor binding to a glucose response element of the pyruvate kinase and lipogenesis enzyme genes was discovered recently.

Transcriptional control of adipose lipid handling by IRF4.

TL;DR: It is shown that interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is a critical determinant of the transcriptional response to nutrient availability in adipocytes and the disposition of calories in adipose tissue, with consequences for systemic metabolic homeostasis.

Hepatokines: linking nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and insulin resistance

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that hepatic steatosis has a causal role in the development of insulin resistance in other tissues, such as skeletal muscle, and recent advances in the understanding of how Steatosis alters hepatokine secretion to influence metabolic phenotypes through inter-organ communication are discussed.

Effect of Fructose Overfeeding and Fish Oil Administration on Hepatic De Novo Lipogenesis and Insulin Sensitivity in Healthy Men

TL;DR: In conclusion, high-fructose diet induced dyslipidemia and hepatic and adipose tissue insulin resistance and fish oil reversed dys Lipidemia but not insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutritional genomics: the next frontier in the postgenomic era

TL;DR: The interface between the nutritional environment and cellular/genetic processes is being referred to as "nutrigenomics" and it is presented that the progression from a healthy phenotype to a chronic disease phenotype must occur by changes in gene expression or by differences in activities of proteins and enzymes.

A glucose-responsive transcription factor that regulates carbohydrate metabolism in the liver

TL;DR: The purification and identification of a transcription factor that recognizes the carbohydrate response element (ChRE) within the promoter of the L-type pyruvate kinase (LPK) gene is reported, suggesting a possible mode of glucose-responsive regulation.

ADD1: a novel helix-loop-helix transcription factor associated with adipocyte determination and differentiation.

TL;DR: The screening of an adipocyte cDNA expression library suggests that ADD1 plays a role in the regulation of determination- and differentiation-specific gene expression in adipocytes.

Sterol Regulatory Element-binding Proteins (SREBPs): Key Regulators of Nutritional Homeostasis and Insulin Action

TL;DR: The sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) were first identified by two groups working independently on cholesterol metabolism and fat cell differentiation and have a unique dual DNA binding specificity, which is discussed below.
