Contributions of gluconeogenesis suppression in liver, kidney, and intestine as major gluconeogenic organs to the glucose-lowering effect of CS-917, a fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase inhibitor, was evaluated in overnight-fasted Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. CS-917 decreased plasma glucose by suppressing
Postprandial hyperglycemia is one of the features of type 2 diabetes. Increased hepatic gluconeogenesis is a predominant cause of postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes. In this study, we evaluated the effect of gluconeogenesis inhibition on postprandial hyperglycemia using CS-917, a novel
In the current study we investigated the effect of mu-opioid receptor activation on insulin sensitivity. In obese Zucker rats, an intravenous injection of loperamide (18 microg/kg, three times daily for 3 days) decreased plasma glucose levels and the glucose-insulin index. Both effects of loperamide
The incidence of metabolic syndrome is rapidly increasing worldwide, and adequate animal models are crucial for studies on its pathogenesis and therapy. In the search of an adequate experimental model to simulate human metabolic syndrome, the present study was performed to examine the
It remains unclear whether adiposity plays an important role in glucose intolerance independently of insulin resistance. We investigated whether adiposity and insulin resistance had distinct roles in glucose intolerance in rats. We examined glucose tolerance and insulin resistance using ventromedial
BACKGROUND
To evaluate whether co-administration of R/S-α-lipoic acid can prevent the development of oxidative stress and metabolic changes induced by a fructose-rich diet (F).
METHODS
We assessed glycemia in the fasting state and during an oral glucose tolerance test, triglyceridemia and
OBJECTIVE
Fructose intake has increased concurrent with sugar intake and this increase has been implicated in contributing to the development of metabolic syndrome risk factors. Recent evidence suggests a role for uric acid (UA) as a potential mediator via suppression of nitric oxide (NO)
Fructose consumption in the USA has increased over the past three decades. During this time, obesity, insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome have also increased in prevalence. While diets high in fructose have been shown to promote insulin resistance and increase TAG concentrations in
Fructose is distinct among common sugars in its ability to raise serum uric acid, and some studies suggest fructose-induced uric acid production may have a role in the ability of this sugar to induce metabolic syndrome. A fructose tolerance test has been previously developed to Carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP) regulates insulin-independent de novo lipogenesis. Recently, a novel ChREBPβ isoform was identified. The purpose of the current study was to define the effect of dietary carbohydrates (CHO) and obesity on the transcriptional activity of ChREBP
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the role of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) in the response of liver to glycoxidative stress triggered by administration of a fructose-rich diet (FRD).
METHODS
We assessed blood glucose in the fasting state and after a glucose
Patients with untreated hypertension have been shown to be resistant to insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and both hyperinsulinemic and hypertriglyceridemic when compared to matched control groups with normal blood pressure. All of these abnormalities would be accentuated in obese individuals. In
To assess the effect of a fructose meal on resting energy expenditure (EE), indirect calorimetry was used in 23 women (10 lean and 13 obese) for 30 min before and 6 h after the ingestion of a mixed meal containing 20% protein, 33% fat, and either 75 g glucose or 75 g fructose as carbohydrate source
This study investigated behavioral responses to an immune challenge among animals with fructose-induced metabolic disorders. Adult male Wistar rats were provided either water or a fructose solution (10%) for 5 weeks. Sickness behaviors were assessed 2h following the injection of either a
Psacalium decompositum, commonly known as "Matarique," is a medicinal plant used in Mexico for diabetes mellitus empirical therapy. Previous studies have shown that the fructooligosaccharides (FOS) present in the roots of this plant exhibit a notable hypoglycemic effect in animal models; this effect
