- It follows, therefore, that defects at the level of the β-cell, muscle and liver can lead to the development of glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus. (justia.com)
- Insulin rapidly increases the expression of Per2 in insulin-sensitive tissues like the liver, muscle, or adipose tissue, but not the lung or brain [ 17 ] . (encyclopedia.pub)
- Its actions on liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle have all been studied in great detail, and it is now recognized that insulin also affects a wide variety of tissues in addition to just these three. (weeksmd.com)
Hepatic glucose output2
- Insulin-induced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling and interleukin-6 (IL-6)-instigated JAK/STAT3-signaling pathways in the liver inhibit the expression of gluconeogenic genes to decrease hepatic glucose output. (diabetesjournals.org)
- Liver TCPTP antagonises both insulin and STAT3 signaling pathways to regulate gluconeogenic gene expression and hepatic glucose output. (diabetesjournals.org)
Serum3
- It is believed that these fatty acids are delivered to the kidneys via serum albumin. (wikipedia.org)
- Objective Indole‐3‐carbinol (I3C), a naturally occurring compound found in cruciferous vegetables, and its metabolite 3,3′‐diindolylmethane (DIM) reduce body mass and serum glucose levels in high‐fat‐diet‐induced obese mice. (researchgate.net)
- Otto S. , now a third-year medical student, was assigned to do a history and physical examination on a newly admitted 47-year-old patient named Chet S. had consulted his physician for increasing weakness and fatigue and was found to have a severely elevated serum glucose level. (basicmedicalkey.com)
Levels4
- RESULTS: Minor variations were detected for AQPs and inflammatory markers mRNA levels, upon the dependence of LPS or the amino acid cocktail suggesting the piglets' immune recovery. (bvsalud.org)
- Thus and increase in plasma free fatty acid levels occurs. (howmed.net)
- Whether the brain participates in the physiological control of circulating glucose levels therefore remains a matter of controversy, and the possibility that a dysfunctional central control system contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetes is only beginning to be explored. (silverchair.com)
- Beyond these concerns, the impact of brain-directed interventions on circulating glucose levels is often seemingly negated by adjustments of islet function. (silverchair.com)
Potassium1
- Apart from the membrane transport of glucose, insulin also regulates the transport of some amino acids, some fatty acids, potassium, magnesium, and certain other monosaccharides. (weeksmd.com)
Cellular4
- The two main causes of this are insufficient insulin production by the pancreas and poor cellular response to insulin. (bensnaturalhealth.com)
- Akt signaling prompts glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) to translocate to the cell membrane where it initiates cellular glucose uptake. (encyclopedia.pub)
- The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. (oncotarget.com)
- The evolution of these mechanisms has given tissues an intelligence with which to maintain their integrity and their autonomy, ordering and separating cellular contents from the surroundings. (weeksmd.com)
Concentration1
- A major advantage over conventional insulin is the fact that the insulinotropic actions of GLP-1 are dependent upon ambient glucose concentration, mitigating the risks of hypoglycemia. (biomedcentral.com)
Insulin resistance3
- We aimed to characterize macrophage phenotype and function in human subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue in relation to insulin resistance in obesity. (diabetesjournals.org)
- In obese women, CD11c + ATM density was greater in subcutaneous than omental adipose tissue and correlated with markers of insulin resistance. (diabetesjournals.org)
- Insulin resistance (IR) is recognized as a biological reaction to insulin stimulation in target tissues. (researchsquare.com)
Protein4
- Insulin signaling pathway activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), which phosphorylates and activates Akt (also known as protein kinase B). Akt regulates glucose transport by promoting the translocation of glucose transporters, such as GLUT4, to the plasma membrane. (alliedacademies.org)
- When activated, AMPK phosphorylates and inhibits enzymes involved in ATP-consuming processes, such as fatty acid synthesis (e.g., acetyl-CoA carboxylase, ACC) and protein synthesis (e.g., mammalian target of rapamycin, mTOR). (alliedacademies.org)
- Sleep disorders are treated using anti-insomnia drugs that target ionotropic and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), including g -aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists, melatonin agonists, and orexin receptor antagonists. (vdocuments.mx)
- Absence of insulin leads to increased protein catabolism and depletion of protein stores which leads to an increase in plasma amino acids. (howmed.net)
Postprandial2
- The initial stage of diabetes is characterised by impaired glucose tolerance and postprandial hyperglycemia. (justia.com)
- These agents lower postprandial glucose by slowing glucose absorption and delaying the hydrolysis of ingested complex carbohydrates and disaccharide. (medscape.com)
Increases1
- whereas they utilize glucose for a few hours after a meal which is insulin dependent (insulin increases the permeability of membranes to glucose). (howmed.net)
Utilize glucose1
- Every single cell in your body can utilize glucose as a source of rapid energy. (medium.com)
Primarily2
- In the absence of nutrient absorption from the GI tract, glucose is supplied primarily from the liver and fatty acids from adipose tissue. (mhmedical.com)
- Most tissues oxidize primarily fatty acids during fasting, sparing glucose for use by the CNS. (mhmedical.com)
Diabetes2
- Metformin does not help in type 1 diabetes because these people cannot produce insulin from their pancreas. (bensnaturalhealth.com)
- Type 2 diabetes affects the way the body uses glucose as fuel. (bensnaturalhealth.com)
Body glucose1
- After an overnight fast, insulin-independent tissues, the brain (50%) and splanchnic organs (25%), account for most of the total body glucose disposal. (justia.com)
Plasma1
- A. Fasting State -In healthy humans plasma glucose is maintained in a range from 4.4-5 mM, and fatty acids near 400 μM. (mhmedical.com)
Nutrients1
- However, in the well-fed state, there is an abundance of nutrients available, particularly glucose. (proprofs.com)
