The insulin-like effects of selenate in rat adipocytes.

چکیده

Selenate was found to have several insulin-like effects in rat adipocytes: stimulation of glucose transport activity by translocation of two types of glucose transporters from intracellular sites to the plasma membrane, stimulation of cAMP phosphodiesterase activity, and stimulation of ribosomal S6 protein phosphorylation. Furthermore, in intact cells addition of 1 mM selenate stimulated tyrosyl phosphorylation of 210-, 170-, 120-, 95-, 70-, and 60-kDa proteins but failed to stimulate insulin receptor kinase activity, suggesting that selenate stimulated other tyrosine kinase. In the presence of insulin, selenate enhances insulin receptor kinase activity and phosphorylations of insulin-stimulated tyrosyl phosphoproteins. These results may provide clues for the elucidation of the role of selenium in animals and the mechanism of insulin action.

New Insight into the Relation between Adiponectin and Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases. Insulin resistance is defined as a state that needs more insulin to get the biological effects achieved by a lower amount of insulin in the normal state. Several molecules which are secreted through adipocytes have been involved in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adiponectin as a 244 amino acid protein is exclusively expressed...

Metformin and Pioglitazone Reduce Gene Expression of Inflammatory Factors in Insulin Resistant and Hypertrophied Adipocytes

 Objective: In obesity, chronic low grade inflammation, created by induction of pro-inflammatory markers, causes adipocyte dysfunction in adipose tissue. Adipocytes dysfunction is associated with various diseases including insulin resistance and obesity. In obesity, inflammatory factors such as osteopontin (OPN), angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl2) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) are...

Sphingosine, an inhibitor of protein kinase C, suppresses the insulin-like effects of growth hormone in rat adipocytes.

Insulin, human growth hormone (hGH), and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate all stimulate lipogenesis in rat adipocytes preincubated without hGH for 4 hr. As previous data suggested that protein kinase C plays an important role in the action of insulin and in the insulin-like effects of hGH in rat adipocytes, we tested the effects of sphingosine, a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C, on the lipo...

Cinnamon Extract Changes the Expression of miRNAs26-b, 29a, 223 and320 in Insulin Resistant Adipocytes

Objective: Insulin resistance (IR) is the major cause in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Expression of some miRNAs can be changed in response to a drug treatment for IR, and used as the biomarker in IR. This study set out to determine the effect of cinnamon extract (cinnamaldehyde) on some miRNAs expression in IR adipocytes. Materials and Methods: In this In-vitro study the 3T3L1 cells were e...

Receptor binding properties and insulin-like effects of human growth hormone and its 20 kDa-variant in rat adipocytes.

The natural 20 kDa-variant of human growth hormone (hGH) binds with high affinity to IM-9 human lymphocyte receptors, in agreement with its potency in biological assays for growth promoting and lactogenic activities. In contrast, 20 kDa-hGH has only 3% of the potency of 22 kDa-hGH in binding to the receptors of normal and hypophysectomized rat adipocytes. In agreement with the binding potency, ...
