[Molecular action of insulin-sensitizing agents].
Atypical endometrial hyperplasia has been associated with progression to endometrial cancer, the most common genital malignancy. There are multiple risk factors for endometrial cancer, such as early menarche, exogenous estrogen exposure, obesity and diabetes. Diabetics have a 3-4 fold relative risk of endometrial cancer. Also, several studies have demonstrated an association between insulin res...
متن کاملThiazolidinedione compounds ameliorate glomerular dysfunction independent of their insulin-sensitizing action in diabetic rats.
Thiazolidinedione (TZD) compounds are widely used as oral hypoglycemic agents. Herein, we provide evidence showing that troglitazone, one of the TZD compounds, is able to prevent glomerular dysfunction in diabetic rats through a novel mechanism independent of its insulin-sensitizing action. We examined the effect of troglitazone on functional and biochemical parameters of glomeruli in streptozo...
متن کاملAn adipose tissue-independent insulin-sensitizing action of telmisartan: a study in lipodystrophic mice.
Adipose tissue plays an important role in energy balance and metabolism and is the major target for insulin-sensitizing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma agonists. The angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker telmisartan, a partial agonist of PPAR-gamma, has been demonstrated to improve insulin sensitivity. However, there is uncertainty about the sites of its action. Here, w...
متن کاملHepatic glutathione and nitric oxide are critical for hepatic insulin-sensitizing substance action.
We tested the hypothesis that hepatic nitric oxide (NO) and glutathione (GSH) are involved in the synthesis of a putative hormone referred to as hepatic insulin-sensitizing substance HISS. Insulin action was assessed in Wistar rats using the rapid insulin sensitivity test (RIST). Blockade of hepatic NO synthesis with N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME, 1.0 mg/kg intraportal) decreased i...
متن کاملInsulin-Sensitizing Therapy Attenuates Type 2 Diabetes–Mediated Mammary Tumor Progression
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes increases breast cancer risk and mortality, and hyperinsulinemia has been identified as a major factor linking these two diseases. Thus, we hypothesized that pharmacological reduction of elevated insulin levels would attenuate type 2 diabetes-mediated mammary tumor progression. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied mammary tumor development in MKR(+/+) mice, a nonob...
