Background: Leptin, the hormonal product of the obese (ob) gene, circulates in the blood at levels paralleling those of fat reserves and regulates satiety. In cattle, leptin has also been implicated in the control of ovarian function, but its local production in the ovary and role in the control of ovarian function in autocrine/paracrine manner is unknown. The aims of this study were to documen...
Hepatic VLDL production in ob/ob mice is not stimulated by massive de novo lipogenesis and is less sensitive to the suppressive effects of insulin Less suppression of VLDL production by insulin in ob/ob mice 66 ABSTRACT Type 2 diabetes mellitus in humans is associated with increased de novo lipogenesis (DNL), increased fatty acid (FA)-flux from peripheral tissues, decreased FA oxidation and hep...
Glucocorticoids have been implicated as pathophysiological mediators of obesity and insulin resistance and are regulated by 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1). This enzyme regenerates active corticosterone from inactive 11-keto forms. To assess the role of 11beta-HSD1-mediated synthesis of active corticosterone in leptin-related obesity and diabetes, we examined the periph...
Obestatin (OB(1-23) is a 23 amino acid peptide encoded on the preproghrelin gene, originally reported to have metabolic actions related to food intake, gastric emptying and body weight. The biological instability of OB(1-23) has recently been highlighted by studies demonstrating its rapid enzymatic cleavage in a number of biological matrices. We assessed the stability of both OB(1-23) and an N-...
We have analyzed 5,088 bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the distal intestinal (cecal) microbiota of genetically obese ob/ob mice, lean ob/+ and wild-type siblings, and their ob/+ mothers, all fed the same polysaccharide-rich diet. Although the majority of mouse gut species are unique, the mouse and human microbiota(s) are similar at the division (superkingdom) level, with Firmicutes and B...
Leptin controls feeding behavior and insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells. Insulin stimulates the production of leptin, thereby establishing an adipoinsular axis. Earlier we identified leptin receptors on pancreatic beta-cells and showed leptin-mediated inhibition of insulin secretion by activation of ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Here we examine transcriptional effects of leptin on...
Obesity is one of the most significant risk factors for hypertension, coronary heart disease, and NIDDM (Frayn KN, Coppack SW: Insulin resistance, adipose tissue and coronary heart disease. Clin Sci 82:1-8, 1992; Kaplan NM: The deadly quartet: upper-body obesity, glucose intolerance, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypertension. Arch Intern Med 149:1514-1520, 1989). While family segregation, adoption...
Leptin acts as satiety factor and increases energy expenditure. Studies conducted on animals and in vitro on adipocytes culture have shown that infusion of catecholamines leads to a significant reduction of ob gene expression; it appears of interest to evaluate the in vivo effects of adrenergic activation on the expression of the ob gene in humans. We studied ob gene expression in adipose tissu...
The mutant gene responsible for the development of obesity in the ob/ob mouse has recently been localised and sequenced [l]. The identification of the ob (obese) gene provides an opportunity to make rapid progress in unravelling the critical factors involved in the regulation of body weight. The ob gene appears to be expressed exclusively in adipose tissue [ 1-31. where it codes for an 18,000 A...
