Mfn1 Deficiency in the Liver Protects Against Diet-Induced Insulin Resistance and Enhances the Hypoglycemic Effect of Metformin

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Richardus Houtkooper, Patrick Descombes, Joanna Ratajczak, Catherine Maclachlan, Wen Gao

Mitochondrial function can be influenced by mitochondrial shape and connectivity with other cellular organelles through fusion and fission processes. Disturbances in mitochondrial architecture and mitochondrial fusion related genes are observed in situatio ...

SIRT1 enhances glucose tolerance by potentiating brown adipose tissue function

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Joanna Ratajczak, Pablo Jose Fernandez Marcos

Objective: SIRT1 has been proposed to be a key signaling node linking changes in energy metabolism to transcriptional adaptations. Although SIRT1 overexpression is protective against diverse metabolic complications, especially in response to high-fat diets ...

Anti-Obesity and Anti-Hyperglycemic Effects of Cinnamaldehyde via altered Ghrelin Secretion and Functional impact on Food Intake and Gastric Emptying

Henry Markram, Julie Meystre, Maurizio Ferdinando Pezzoli, Johannes Le Coutre

Cinnamon extract is associated to different health benefits but the active ingredients or pathways are unknown. Cinnamaldehyde (CIN) imparts the characteristic flavor to cinnamon and is known to be the main agonist of transient receptor potential-ankyrin r ...

Metabolic Alterations Associated to Brain Dysfunction in Diabetes

João Miguel das Neves Duarte

From epidemiological studies it is known that diabetes patients display increased risk of developing dementia. Moreover, cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are also accompanied by impaired glucose homeostasis and insulin signalling. Although ...

Compartmentalization of GABA synthesis by GAD67 differs between pancreatic beta cells and neurons

Chiara Cianciaruso, Edward Allen Phelps, Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan

The inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA is synthesized by the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) in neurons and in pancreatic β-cells in islets of Langerhans where it functions as a paracrine and autocrine signaling molecule regulating the function of i ...

Structural and Functional Imaging of Pancreatic Islets using Optical Coherence Microscopy

Corinne Berclaz

In diabetes, pancreatic beta-cells play a key role. These cells are organized within structures called islets of Langerhans inside the pancreas and produce insulin. Insulin is one of the main hormones contributing to glucose homeostasis, which is the hallm ...

TGR5 reduces macrophage migration through mTOR-induced C/EBP beta differential translation

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Mitsunori Nomura, Thijs Pols

The bile acid-responsive G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 is involved in several metabolic processes, and recent studies suggest that TGR5 activation may promote pathways that are protective against diet-induced diabetes. Here, we investigated the role of m ...

Impact of hepatic lipid accumulation and composition on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity: a longitudinal study in male and female mice

Rolf Gruetter, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Hongxia Lei

Background and aims: Metabolic disruptions characterized by high hepatic lipid content (HLC) are associated with impairments in whole body glucose homeostasis. To gain insight on the role of hepatic lipids in the metabolic performance in the absence artifi ...

Hepatic glucose sensing is required to preserve β cell glucose competence

Rolf Gruetter, Bernard Lanz, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Frédéric Schütz

Liver glucose metabolism plays a central role in glucose homeostasis and may also regulate feeding and energy expenditure. Here we assessed the impact of glucose transporter 2 (Glut2) gene inactivation in adult mouse liver (LG2KO mice). Loss of Glut2 suppr ...
