TLDR
A critical eye is turned toward both DAGs and ceramides as putative mediators of lipid-induced hepatic insulin resistance, with various genetic and pharmacologic manipulations yielding a vast and occasionally contradictory trove of data to sort.

Mechanisms of Insulin Action and Insulin Resistance

TL;DR: This work aims to develop an integrated physiological perspective, placing the intricate signaling effectors that carry out the cell-autonomous response to insulin in the context of the tissue-specific functions that generate the coordinated organismal response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: causes, diagnosis, cardiometabolic consequences, and treatment strategies.

TL;DR: This Review highlights novel concepts related to diagnosis, risk prediction, and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that could contribute to the development of a multidisciplinary approach for endocrinologists and hepatologists working together in the management of NAFLD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Risk of Incident Type 2 Diabetes: A Meta-analysis

TL;DR: NAFLD is significantly associated with a twofold increased risk of incident diabetes, however, the observational design of the eligible studies does not allow for proving causality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolites as regulators of insulin sensitivity and metabolism

TL;DR: A comprehensive understanding of the metabolic adaptations involved in insulin resistance may enable the identification of novel targets for improving insulin sensitivity and preventing, and treating, T2DM.

The NLRP3 inflammasome instigates obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance

TL;DR: It is established that calorie restriction and exercise-mediated weight loss in obese individuals with type 2 diabetes is associated with a reduction in adipose tissue expression of Nlrp3 as well as with decreased inflammation and improved insulin sensitivity, and that the NlrP3 inflammasome senses obesity-associated danger signals and contributes to obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance.

Inflammasome-mediated dysbiosis regulates progression of NAFLD and obesity

TL;DR: Altered interactions between the gut microbiota and the host, produced by defective NLRP3 and NLRP6 inflammasome sensing, may govern the rate of progression of multiple metabolic syndrome-associated abnormalities, highlighting the central role of the microbiota in the pathogenesis of heretofore seemingly unrelated systemic auto-inflammatory and metabolic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum retinol binding protein 4 contributes to insulin resistance in obesity and type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: It is shown that expression of retinol binding protein-4 (RBP4) is elevated in adipose tissue of adipose-Glut4-/- mice and RBP4 is an adipocyte-derived ‘signal’ that may contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with insulin resistance

TL;DR: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia even in lean subjects with normal glucose tolerance, and genetic factors that reduce insulin sensitivity and increase serum triglyceride levels may be responsible for its development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of Hepatic Insulin Resistance in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

TL;DR: The hypothesis hepatic steatosis leads to hepatic insulin resistance by stimulating gluconeogenesis and activating PKC-ϵ and JNK1, which may interfere with tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and IRS-2 and impair the ability of insulin to activate glycogen synthase is supported.
