Abstract:
La GK és clau en la regulació del metabolisme glucídic tant per la seva funció al pàncrees en què determina la secreció d’insulina, com per la seva funció al fetge on controla les vies d’utilització i d’emmagatzematge de glucosa. Per aquest motiu és una bona diana per a la teràpia de la diabetis, i diverses companyies farmacèutiques estan desenvolupant activadors sintètics de la GK (GKA) pel tractament de la diabetis de tipus 2. Els estudis de GKAs existents avaluen l’activació de la GK a nivell sistèmic i no es coneixen els seus efectes específis sobre la GK al fetge. Per indagar-los, com q

Abstract:
Insulin resistance is an increasing public health issue with the current literature, suggesting reduced sensitivity of insulin leads to adult onset diabetes and associated downstream pathologies that reduce life expectancy. The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the ability of the Oral Glucose Insulin Secretion Test (OGIST) to identify insulin resistance and examine differences in the insulin sensitivity based on gender, age, and ethnicity. This study was supported by the insulin resistance theory which focuses on the reduced ability of insulin to bind to the cellular insulin recep

Abstract:
In view of accumulating evidence that links obesity to increased cancer burden, there is interest in delineating the mechanisms by which obesity influences neoplastic growth. Increased insulin levels are commonly associated with obesity or ‘the metabolic syndrome' and thus the insulin receptor has been viewed as a potentially important molecular target for the treatment of certain cancers. To study the effects of insulin signaling attenuation on the growth of the experimental insulin-responsive mouse 4T1 breast cancer cells in vivo, we compared the effects of alloxan-induced insulin deficiency

Abstract:
Activation of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) following stress in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is an important mechanism by which obesity results in insulin resistance and type II diabetes. We uncovered a role for the adaptor protein Nck in modulating the UPR. In this study, we report that obese Nck1-/- mice, which show lower levels of UPR in liver and adipose tissue, present improved insulin signalling in these tissues. We established that the effect of Nck1 is cell autonomous by showing that HepG2 cells treated with Nck1 siRNA have reduced ER stress-induced UPR and Insulin Receptor Sub

Abstract:
Insulin plays a vital role in whole-body metabolism and provides a major anabolic stimulus for cellular signaling pathways, including those involved in the metabolism of glucose and protein. Consequently, insulin dysregulation (ID) is known to alter molecular signal transduction in insulin-sensitive tissues such as skeletal muscle, thereby disrupting glucose metabolism and compromising protein synthetic capacity. Our first objective was to induce ID in healthy horses by administering dexamethasone (DEX), a potent glucocorticoid, for 21 days. We evaluated the effects on insulin-stimulated muscl

Additionally, as an insect goes through different developmental stages, its nutritional requirements change in response to or in preparation for non-feeding periods.
