Olive tree (Olea europeaea) leaves are well known for their effect on metabolism in particular as a traditional anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive herbal drug. These properties are until now only attributed to oleuropein, the major secoiridoid of olive le ...
Background: The control of the functional pancreatic beta-cell mass serves the key homeostatic function of releasing the right amount of insulin to keep blood sugar in the normal range. It is not fully understood though how beta-cell mass is determined. ...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of visceral obesity on cholesterol metabolism in normoglycemic offspring of patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: The proportion of intra-abdominal fat (IAF) was measured by abdominal computer ...
The metabolic impact of the common peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma isoform 2 (PPARgamma2) variant Pro12Ala in human populations has been widely debated. We demonstrate, using a Pro12Ala knockin model, that on chow diet, Ala/Ala mice are le ...
We evaluated the metabolic impact of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) activation by administering a synthetic FXR agonist (GW4064) to mice in which obesity was induced by a high fat diet. Administration of GW4064 accentuated body weight gain and glucose intolera ...
Obesity and dyslipidemia are often found in association with insulin resistance (IR). These components combined with hypertension characterize the most common endocrine disorder in humans, the metabolic syndrome. Thus, in addition to profiling body weight ...
Besides well-established roles of bile acids (BA) in dietary lipid absorption and cholesterol homeostasis, it has recently become clear that BA is also a biological signaling molecule. We have shown that strategies aimed at activating TGR5 by increasing th ...
Introduction: Whole-body energy balance is strongly dependent on the hepatic handling of metabolic fuels, which is affected by the hepatic lipid content (HLC). With in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) HLC can be measured non-invasively an ...
Objective - Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is implicated in the regulation of mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, and insulin sensitivity in rodents. No studies are available in humans to demonstrate that SIRT1 expression in insulin sensitive tissues is associat ...
Insulin resistance, tissue inflammation, and adipose tissue dysfunction are features of obesity and Type 2 diabetes. We generated adipocyte-specific Nuclear Receptor Corepressor (NCoR) knockout (AKO) mice to investigate the function of NCoR in adipocyte bi ...
