Restoration of insulin responsiveness in skeletal muscle of morbidly obese patients after weight loss. Effect on muscle glucose transport and glucose transporter GLUT4.
A major defect contributing to impaired insulin action in human obesity is reduced glucose transport activity in skeletal muscle. This study was designed to determine whether th...
Surgical implantation of adipose tissue reverses diabetes in lipoatrophic mice
In lipoatrophic diabetes, a lack of fat is associated with insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. This is in striking contrast to the usual association of diabetes with obesity. ...
1 Prevention and Treatment of Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus
The benefits of exercise training in the prevention and treatment of insulin resistance, impaired glucose homeostasis, and NIDDM are strongly supported by current research. The ...
Body Composition by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry in Black Compared with White Women
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has recently been applied to the measurement of body composition using a three-compartment model consisting of fat, lean and bone mineral....
Divergent molecular mechanisms for insulin-resistant glucose transport in muscle and adipose cells in vivo.
Glucose homeostasis depends on regulated changes in glucose transport in insulin-responsive tissues (e.g. muscle and adipose cells). This transport is mediated by at least two d...
