Lipid overload to skeletal muscle has been associated to increase in fatty acid oxidation and generation of acylcarnitines (AC) and insulin resistance (IR). This may happen due the inefficiency of TCA in oxidize the Acetyl-CoA produced by fatty acid oxidation process. Interventions that blunt the LCAcyl-CoA transportation into the mitochondria reduce the generation of AC as well as improv…
The insulin secretion can be stimulated by many nutrients, neurotransmitters and peptide hormones, however, its main secretagogue is the glucose. Obesity and malnourishment are related to energetic homeostasis imbalance, leading to dysfunction of pancreatic beta-cells. Rodents submitted to protein malnourishment after weaning, shows alterations on insulin secretion process. It was observe…
Glucose is the major stimulus for insulin secretion. Obesity and Diabetes Mellitus are related to disrupted energy homeostasis, leading to pancreatic beta cell dysfunction. The glycolytic enzyme glucokinase (GK) is a key regulator of insulin secretion in the pancreatic beta cells, playing a critical role in the maintenance of the physiological glucose set point. Detailed morphometric eval…
