Insulin effects in muscle and adipose tissue

TLDR
These insulin effects serve to encourage the synthesis of carbohydrate, fat and protein, therefore, insulin can be considered to be an anabolic hormone.

Association between insulin resistance and the development of cardiovascular disease

TL;DR: It can be concluded that insulin resistance in the myocardium generates damage by at least three different mechanisms: (1) signal transduction alteration, (2) impaired regulation of substrate metabolism, and (3) altered delivery of substrates to theMyocardium.

Adipose tissue in control of metabolism

TL;DR: This review will summarize the recent findings of adipose tissue in the control of metabolism, focusing on its endocrine and thermogenic function.

Changes in Nutritional Status Impact Immune Cell Metabolism and Function.

TL;DR: Understanding how T cells are sensitive to both inadequate and overabundant nutrients may enhance the ability to target immune cell metabolism and alter immunity in both malnutrition and obesity.

Obesity and dyslipidemia.

TL;DR: This review will address the main characteristics of dyslipidemia and mechanisms that induce its development in obesity, in particular proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), as the key molecule that regulates metabolism of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), as one of the most important mediators of high-densitylipoprotein (HDL) particles function.

Cellular mechanisms of insulin resistance

TL;DR: It is shown that commonly accepted models that attempt to explain the association of insulin resistance and obesity are incompatible with recent findings and an alternative model is proposed that appears to fit these and other available data.

Mechanism of free fatty acid-induced insulin resistance in humans.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that free fatty acids induce insulin resistance in humans by initial inhibition of glucose transport/phosphorylation which is then followed by an approximately 50% reduction in both the rate of muscle glycogen synthesis and glucose oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fuel selection in human skeletal muscle in insulin resistance: a reexamination.

TL;DR: Although the Randle cycle is a valid physiological principle, it may not explain insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, and recent knowledge of insulin receptor signaling indicates that the accumulation of lipid products in muscle can interfere with insulin signaling and produce insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulatory interactions between lipids and carbohydrates: the glucose fatty acid cycle after 35 years

TL;DR: Evidence for inhibitory effects of fatty acids on whole body glucose utilization ad oxidation (predominantly muscles) is decisive and enzyme mechanisms mediating these effects are well established, and a permissive role for fatty acids in the insulin secretory response of islet beta-cells has now been firmly established.

What are the effects of insulin on the body's metabolism?

Insulin has several effects on the body's metabolism, including increasing glucose transport, glycolysis, glycogen synthesis, and protein synthesis, while decreasing lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation.
