Persistent Organic Pollutant Exposure Leads to Insulin Resistance Syndrome
BACKGROUND The incidence of the insulin resistance syndrome has increased at an alarming rate worldwide, creating a serious challenge to public health care in the 21st century. Recently, epidemiological studies have associated the prevalence of type 2 diabetes with elevated body burdens of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). However, experimental evidence demonstrating a causal link between P...
متن کاملChew on This: Persistent Organic Pollutants May Promote Insulin Resistance Syndrome
Human exposure to phthalates is ubiquitous due to widespread commercial use. Although the compounds are reported to be rap idly metabolized, concentrations in the body appear to remain fairly stable due to ongoing exposure. The United States and Europe have banned some phthalates from consumer products primarily on the basis of reproductive toxicity data. However, not all phthalates are regula...
متن کاملGeographic Differences in Persistent Organic Pollutant Levels of Yellowfin Tuna
BACKGROUND Fish are a source of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the human diet. Although species, trophic level, and means of production are typically considered in predicting fish pollutant load, and thus recommendations of consumption, capture location is usually not accounted for. OBJECTIVES Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) are harvested from across the world's oceans and are wid...
متن کاملCircadian Disruption Leads to Insulin Resistance and Obesity
BACKGROUND Disruption of circadian (daily) timekeeping enhances the risk of metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. While clinical observations have suggested that insulin action is not constant throughout the 24 hr cycle, its magnitude and periodicity have not been assessed. Moreover, when circadian rhythmicity is absent or severely disrupted, it is not known whether insulin action w...
متن کاملChronic endothelin-1 treatment leads to insulin resistance in vivo.
We determined whether chronic endothelin-1 (ET-1) treatment could lead to in vivo insulin resistance. Like insulin, ET-1 acutely stimulated glucose transport in isolated soleus muscle strips of WKY rats. ET-1 pretreatment (1 h) decreased insulin-stimulated glucose transport in muscle strips (-23%). Both ET-1-mediated effects were generated through ET(A) receptors, because a specific ET(A) recep...
