The fatty acid profile in diabetic children

Castro-Correia Cintia , Sousa Sara , Norberto Sonia , Delerue-Matos Cristina , Domingues Valentina , Fontoura Manuel , Calhau Conceicao

Several studies have shown a link between pro-inflammatory activity and the presence or relative deficit of some fatty acids. A low amount of omega 3 fatty acids, appears to promote an inflammatory profile. The omega 6 fatty acids have also the same effect. It is well known that a chronic low-grade inflammation is associated to several diseases, namely, diabetes. The follow-up of children and young people with Type 1 diabetes involves the periodic evaluation of their lipidic p...

The increase in unsaturated fatty acids is related with an anti-inflammatory profile in the hypothalamus of non-diabetic IRS2-deficient mice

Barrios Vicente , Vinaixa Maria , Frago Laura M. , Canelles Sandra , Valverde Angela M. , Argente Jesus , Yanes Oscar

Background: IRS2-deficient (IRS2-/-) mice are considered a good model to analyze the development of diabetes as some of them present an increase in glycemia comparable to that observed in diabetes onset in humans, whereas a high proportion of these mice do not develop diabetes. Energy homeostasis regulation by the hypothalamus can be disturbed by an inflammatory environment, which predisposes an individual to the onset of diabetes. Saturated fatty acids induce hypot...

Influence of a part of Korean red ginseng on blood glucose control and complication markers of type 2 diabetic NSY rats

Kim Jung Hye , Park Kahui , Lee Sang Bae , You Ji Hong , Kim Yusik , Park Jong Suk , Nam Ji Sun , Ahn Chul Woo

Objective: Ginsenoside or saponin, is considered as the major bioactive component mediating the therapeutic properties of Korean red ginseng (KRG). However, the exact physiological mechanism underlying anti-diabetic effects is still not fully Clarified. More than 30 different saponins together account for only about 3–4% of KRG, thereby, it is assumed that non-saponin fraction of KRG also carry potential anti-diabetic effects; however, there is no study reporting the diff...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and type-2 diabetes (T2D) development is critically affected by the loss of phenotypic flexibility (i.e. the difficulty to cope with stressors to maintain metabolic homeostasis). Thus, it is essential to identify key modifiers of phenotypic plasticity that define individual susceptibility to develop T2D. Particularly, there is emerging evidence that alternative mRNA splicing is dysregulated under adverse metabolic-conditions, such as T2D, in several t...
