Fig. 2. Free fatty acids induce skeletal muscle insulin resistance in humans by inhibition of insulin signaling. induce multiple defects in the insulin signaling cascade, at the level of glycogen synthesis, insulin-induced glucose transport and phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate IRS-1, IRS-1-associated phosphatidylinositol PI 3-kinase activity, and of Akt 142, 151, 166, 171-175 , but this did not happen when lipid was infused to already insulin-resistant obese...
The Epidemic of Type Diabetes Mellitus Its Links to Obesity Insulin Resistance
The Epidemic of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Metabolic Consequences of Obesity Why Does it Predispose to T2DM Role of Lipotoxicity in the Development of Skeletal Muscle Insulin Resistance FFA and the Liver Pancreatic P-Cell Lipotoxicity and the Development of T2DM References The epidemic of type 2 diabetes T2DM is a public health problem that threatens to spiral out of control in the twenty-first century. Early intervention can greatly mitigate the serious socioeconomic impact of the disease,...
Predisposed to TDM
The potential for fatty acids to cause P-cell lipotoxicity in vitro and in vivo, in many cases with subsequent apoptosis depending on the cell line or animal model has generated substantial interest as an explanation for the development of T2DM 372-376 . The concept of P-cell lipotoxicity was championed initially by Unger in a series of elegant experiments in islets of leptin-unresponsive Zucker diabetic ZDF rats 147, 148 . In brief, excess palmitoyl CoA would enter the ceramide pathway as it...
FFA and Hepatic Insulin Resistance
Insulin tightly regulates the rate of endogenous glucose production EGP . Hepatic glucose production accounts for the majority gt 90 of glucose output in the fasting state, except for a small proportion arising from renal gluconeogenesis 254 . The rate of EGP is important under fasting conditions to provide glucose for the metabolic needs of glucose-dependent tissues such as the brain and red blood cells. In lean insulin-sensitive healthy subjects, modest increases in the plasma insulin...

Can Weight Loss and Exercise Improve NAFLD
In general studies examining the effect of weight loss in fatty liver disease have been uncontrolled or of short duration, providing limited guidance for long-term management. Most have not used sophisticated measurements to assess insulin secretion or action, nor performed liver biopsies before and after to correlate weight loss with histological improvement, but have rather used surrogate markers such as liver transaminases or imaging. It is also unclear what kind of exercise would best...
