How do glucocorticoids influence stress responses? Integrating permissive, suppressive, stimulatory, and preparative actions.

TL;DR: This review considers recent findings regarding GC action and generates criteria for determining whether a particular GC action permits, stimulates, or suppresses an ongoing stress-response or, as an additional category, is preparative for a subsequent stressor.
Journal ArticleDOI

The metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: The pathophysiology seems to be largely attributable to insulin resistance with excessive flux of fatty acids implicated, and a proinflammatory state probably contributes to the metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality Associated With the Metabolic Syndrome

TL;DR: The WHO definition of the metabolic syndrome identifies subjects with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and offers a tool for comparison of results from diferent studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms linking obesity to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: In obese individuals, adipose tissue releases increased amounts of non-esterified fatty acids, glycerol, hormones, pro-inflammatory cytokines and other factors that are involved in the development of insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

A rapid enzymatic assay for glycerol.

TL;DR: An alternative and more rapid method has been developed which is based on the following reactions: glycerol + ATP + L-glycerol 1-phosphate + ADP (glycersol kinase) ADP + phosphoenolpyruvate + NADH2 (lactate dehydrogenase)

Fatty Acid and Glucose Metabolism in the Perfused Heart

TL;DR: The results indicate the readiness with which the myocardium utilizes both glucose and fatty acids, and suggest that fatty acids are preferentially oxidized.
