Lipopolysaccharide activates an innate immune system response in human adipose tissue in obesity and type 2 diabetes

TLDR
T2DM is associated with increased endotoxemia, with AT able to initiate an innate immune response, and increased adiposity may increase proinflammatory cytokines and therefore contribute to the pathogenic risk of T2DM.
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. Adipose tissue (AT) may represent an important site of inflammation. 3T3-L1 studies have demonstrated that lipopolysacchari...

Functional interactions between the gut microbiota and host metabolism

TL;DR: Through increased knowledge of the mechanisms involved in the interactions between the microbiota and its host, the world will be in a better position to develop treatments for metabolic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophages, Inflammation, and Insulin Resistance

TL;DR: Strategies focused on inhibiting the inflammation/insulin resistance axis that otherwise preserve essential innate immune functions may hold promise for therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cellular and signaling networks linking the immune system and metabolism in disease

TL;DR: This work discusses how various networks underlie the etiology of the inflammatory component of insulin resistance, with a particular focus on the central roles of macrophages in adipose tissue and liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased intestinal permeability and tight junction alterations in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

TL;DR: In patients with NAFLD, both gut permeability and the prevalence of SIBO correlated with the severity of steatosis but not with presence of NASH, and the increased permeability appears to be caused by disruption of intercellular tight junctions in the intestine.

Adipokine dysregulation, adipose tissue inflammation and metabolic syndrome.

TL;DR: Targeting the changes in the cellular composition of adipose tissue, the underlying molecular mechanisms, and the altered production of adipokines may have therapeutic potential in the management of the metabolic syndrome.

A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein utilizing the principle of protein-dye binding

TL;DR: This assay is very reproducible and rapid with the dye binding process virtually complete in approximately 2 min with good color stability for 1 hr with little or no interference from cations such as sodium or potassium nor from carbohydrates such as sucrose.

Homeostasis model assessment : insulin resistance and beta-cell function from fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations in man

TL;DR: The correlation of the model's estimates with patient data accords with the hypothesis that basal glucose and insulin interactions are largely determined by a simple feed back loop.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adiponectin stimulates glucose utilization and fatty-acid oxidation by activating AMP-activated protein kinase

TL;DR: It is shown that phosphorylation and activation of the 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) are stimulated with globular and full-length Ad in skeletal muscle and only with full- lengths Ad in the liver, indicating that stimulation of glucose utilization and fatty-acid oxidation by Ad occurs through activation of AMPK.

Protection from obesity-induced insulin resistance in mice lacking TNF-|[alpha]| function

TL;DR: Results indicate that TNF-α is an important mediator of insulin resistance in obesity through its effects on several important sites of insulin action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local and systemic insulin resistance resulting from hepatic activation of IKK-β and NF-κB

TL;DR: It is shown that lipid accumulation in the liver leads to subacute hepatic 'inflammation' through NF-κB activation and downstream cytokine production, which causes insulin resistance both locally in liver and systemically.
