The lack of Nur77 affects energy and glucose metabolism in females fed on high fat diet

Sieira Sonia Perez , Martinez Gloria , Porteiro Begona , Lopez Miguel , Vidal Anxo , Nogueiras Ruben , Dieguez Carlos

Nur77 is an orphan nuclear receptor included in the NR4A family. This protein has been studied as a transcriptional regulator of glucose metabolism in different tissues. We aimed to investigate the endogenous role of Nur77 on energy and metabolic homeostasis. For this purpose, we used male and female Nur77-deficient mice and their wild-type littermates. We challenged them to standard diet and high fat diet, and analyzed different parameters involved in energy balance (food int...

Serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 in obesity-related adipose tissue and peripheral inflammation

Reiter Marie Helene , Kiefer Florian , Zeyda Maximilian , Kopecky Chantal , Stulnig Thomas , Luger Anton , Vila Greisa

The serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (Sgk1) is a direct transcriptional target of glucocorticoids and is post-translationally activated by the insulin/IGF1 pathway. Distinct polymorphisms in the Sgk1 gene are associated with increased body weight and type 2 diabetes. Here we investigate the expression and regulation of Sgk1 in human obesity.In both omental and subcutaneous human adipose tissue, Sgk1 expression is significantly increased in 20...

New insights on molecular mechanisms regulating hepatic sex hormone-binding globulin production: clinical implications in obesity and type 2 diabetes

Saez-Lopez Cristina , Hernandez Cristina , Simo Rafael , Selva David M

Human sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is produced and secreted by the liver and it binds androgens and estrogens with high affinity. In blood, SHBG acts as a carrier of these sex steroids and regulates their bioavailability. Low plasma SHBG levels are associated with obesity, abdominal adiposity and metabolic syndrome, and predict the development of type 2 diabetes. In addition, an inverse relationship between plasma SHBG levels and risk of cardiovascular disease has been ...

Brite adipocytes: a role for cannabinoid receptor type 1 in brown adipose cell recruitment

Mazza Roberta , Quarta Carmelo , Pasquali Renato , Pagotto Uberto

Recent data showed the existence of a specific adipocyte population composed of brite cells in white adipose tissue (WAT), characterized by a peculiar gene expression pattern including PRDM16. Despite showing a low basal UCP1 expression, these cells display higher UCP1 expression when stimulated. In view of the involvement of the endocannabinoid system in energy homeostasis, the aim of our work is to establish whether the CB1 receptor could be a target for brown ph...

Introduction: Maternal obesity is associated with increased risk of metabolic dysfunction in the offspring. It is not clear which physiological aspects of the obese state that cause this metabolic programming. Obesity causes many metabolic changes but also low grade inflammation.

Serum IL18 concentration is associated with resting energy expenditure independently of BMI

Nikolajuk Agnieszka , Adamska Agnieszka , Karczewska-Kupczewska Monika , Matulewicz Natalia , Stefanowicz Magdalena , Kowalska Irina , Straczkowski Marek

Introduction: Numerous studies indicate an association between low-grade chronic inflammation and predisposition to type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. IL18 is a proinflammatory cytokine with proatherogenic properties. Existing evidence indicated that circulating IL18 was associated with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Some data suggest that endogenous IL18 signaling modulates food intake, metabolism and adiposity, as homeostatic regulator. The aim...

High fat diet induces site specific resistance to LPS-stimulated STAT3 activation in the CNS

Borges Beatriz , Rorato Rodrigo , Uchoa Ernane , Marangon Paula , Antunes-Rodrigues Jose , Elias Lucila

Hypophagia and increased energy expenditure under inflammatory condition, such as observed after bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, are associated with activation of JAK2STAT3 signaling in the CNS. High fat diet (HFD) is known to induce hypothalamic resistance to leptin signaling mediated by JAK2STAT3 pathway. In this study we investigated the expression of p-STAT3 in the hypothalamus and brainstem of HFD treated animals under LPS (100 μg/kg) s...

Liver and visceral ectopic fatty tissue disposition is a major metabolic derangement leading to type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, recapitulated in the metabolic syndrome (MetS). We have demonstrated that the selective FXR agonist obeticholic acid (OCA, INT-747) ameliorates the metabolic profile and reduces visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced rabbit model of MetS. We now report the effects of OCA treatment in HFD (0.5% cholesterol and 4% p...

Many mechanisms are proposed for green teas role as anti-obesity and anti-diabetic natural product. Two of them involve the hypothalamic control of energy balance: i) high-fat diets (HFD) rich in saturated fats induce low-grade inflammation, leading to leptin and insulin resistance; ii) serotonin receptors (SR) 1B and 2C activation have anorexigenic effects, SR2C activation improves insulin sensitivity, and HFD can also impair this system.

Obesity leads to low-grade inflammation, and high-fat diet is one of the major causes.

Moderating role of cognitive ability on the obesity: inflammation: insulin resistance triplet

Spyridaki Eirini , Margioris Andrew , Simos Panagiotis , Avgoustinaki Pavlina , Dermitzaki Eirini

Obesity, the condition resulting from excess of body fat, is often accompanied by chronic low-grade levels of inflammation. These have been strongly associated with the development of insulin resistance (IR). Elevated BMI has also been linked to reduced cognitive performance, especially in executive functions, independently of medical co-morbidities.Aim of this research is to investigate whether higher cognitive resources may present a moderating, ...

Should all the obese patients be screened for Cushing’s syndrome?

Baydur Sahin Serap , Sezgin Hacer , Ilkkilic Kadir , Uslu Gur Emine , Ayaz Teslime

Background: Cushings syndrome (CS) is a relatively unusual condition that resembles many of the phenotypic features of obesity. The 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test (1 mg-DST) is the most frequently used screening tool for CS. However, the lack of suppression after 1-mg DST may be found in obese patients. In the current study, our aim was to evaluate the clinical signs of CS and the 1 mg-DST in obese patients.Materials and methods: 354 patients ...

Introduction: Remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a yearned outcome after bariatric surgery (BS). Attention to individuals who do not strictly fulfil remission criteria has been frequently left behind. The aim of this study was to evaluate metabolic control status in patients considered as diabetes non-remitters.Materials and methods: Retrospective study of 125 patients (59.2% women) with preoperative diagnosis of T2D who underwent BS in a ...

Circulating adiponectin as marker of obesity-induced chronic low grade inflammation

Dermitzaki Eirine , Avgoustinaki Pavlina , Venihaki Maria , Tsatsanis Christos , Margioris Andrew

Introduction: Obesity lowers adiponectin levels. Adiponectin has anti-inflammatory effects. It has been suggested that the lower levels of adiponectin in obesity results in chronic low grade inflammation (CLGI). Aim of this study was to examine if plasma adiponectin is a valid marker of CLGI in normal weight, overweight and obese individuals. In addition, we also assessed adiponectin as marker of body fat and insulin resistanceMethods: We measured adipon...
