Mechanisms of Vascular Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is characterized by the diminished ability of insulin to initiate intracellular signaling. It is a common manifestation of obesity and a prelude to type 2 diabetes. The primary targets of insulin are skeletal muscle, adipose, and the liver. Impaired insulin signaling in these tissues reduces glucose uptake and promotes a metabolic syndrome that is characterized by elevated le...
متن کاملMechanisms of insulin resistance in cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with a high incidence of diabetes. Studies evaluating causes of CF-related diabetes (CFRD) have consistently documented decreased insulin secretion. In patients with CFRD, insulin sensitivity has been documented to be decreased, but controversy exists in patients with normal or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). We undertook this study 1) to reexplore insulin s...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine-immune interactions in rheumatoid arthritis: mechanisms of glucocorticoid resistance.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovial membrane, leading to joint destruction. Many autoimmune diseases and disease states of chronic inflammation are accompanied by alterations in the complex interactions between the endocrine, nervous and immune systems. Glucocorticoids, an end product of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, are a mainstay treat...
متن کامل[Molecular Mechanisms of Insulin Resistance: An Update].
The biological actions of insulin are initiated by activating its membrane receptor, which triggers multiple signaling pathways to mediate their biological actions. Due to the importance of metabolic regulation and promoting functions of cell growth and proliferation, insulin actions are highly regulated to promote proper metabolic functioning and energy balance. If these mechanisms are altered...
متن کاملMechanisms Linking Inflammation to Insulin Resistance
Obesity is now widespread around the world. Obesity-associated chronic low-grade inflammation is responsible for the decrease of insulin sensitivity, which makes obesity a major risk factor for insulin resistance and related diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndromes. The state of low-grade inflammation is caused by overnutrition which leads to lipid accumulation in adipo...
