Adipsin Is an Adipokine that Improves β Cell Function in Diabetes
A hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the development of pancreatic β cell failure, which results in insulinopenia and hyperglycemia. We show that the adipokine adipsin has a beneficial role in maintaining β cell function. Animals genetically lacking adipsin have glucose intolerance due to insulinopenia; isolated islets from these mice have reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretio...
متن کاملVisfatin: an adipokine that plays a crucial role in increasing the risk of cancer
Obesity is an important public health problem worldwide. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that obesity is associated with an increased risk of several cancer types. Also, obesity is associated with an increase in cancer mortality. Biological mechanisms and the relationship between obesity and cancer are complex and not well understood. Studies on the role of adiposederived factors in c...
متن کاملExenatide Treatment Alone Improves β-Cell Function in a Canine Model of Pre-Diabetes
BACKGROUND Exenatide's effects on glucose metabolism have been studied extensively in diabetes but not in pre-diabetes. OBJECTIVE We examined the chronic effects of exenatide alone on glucose metabolism in pre-diabetic canines. DESIGN AND METHODS After 10 weeks of high-fat diet (HFD), adult dogs received one injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 18.5 mg/kg). After induction of pre-diabetes, whi...
متن کاملFunctional high-intensity training improves pancreatic β-cell function in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by reductions in β-cell function and insulin secretion on the background of elevated insulin resistance. Aerobic exercise has been shown to improve β-cell function, despite a subset of T2D patients displaying "exercise resistance." Further investigations into the effectiveness of alternate forms of exercise on β-cell function in the T2D patient population ...
متن کاملPhosphodiesterase 5 Inhibition Improves β-Cell Function in Metabolic Syndrome
OBJECTIVE This study tested the hypothesis that phosphodiesterase 5 inhibition alone or in combination with ACE inhibition improves glucose homeostasis and fibrinolysis in individuals with metabolic syndrome. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Insulin sensitivity, beta-cell function, and fibrinolytic parameters were measured in 18 adults with metabolic syndrome on 4 separate days after a randomized,...
