Consumption of a glucose diet for 4 d markedly elevates plasma insulin concentrations in adrenalectomized ob/ob mice. The present study examined regulation of insulin secretion from perifused pancreatic islets of female adrenalectomized genetically obese (ob/ob) and lean mice fed a glucose diet for
Metabolic Syndrome X is a cluster of abnormalities including insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and obesity. We sought to determine if excess plasma glucagon and free fatty acids (FFA) might contribute to the insulin resistance in the obese spontaneous hypertensive rat (SHROB), a
Little is known about whether mild aberrations in glucose metabolism, which are seen in overweight/obese subjects (OW/OB) without impaired glucose tolerance, affect regulator control elements for blood pressure homeostasis.METHODS
Hence, we measured
Video game playing (VGP) is associated with overweight/obesity (OW/OB). VGP and caloric preloads in the pre-meal environment influence short-term food intake (FI) in healthy weight children. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of pre-meal VGP and a glucose preload
BACKGROUND
There is evidence that the brain's energy status is lowered in obesity despite of chronic hypercaloric nutrition. The underlying mechanisms are unknown. We hypothesized that the brain of obese people does not appropriately generate energy in response to a hypercaloric
The effect of short duration exercise (EXR) on food intake (FI) and energy balance (EB) is not well understood in either normal weight (NW) or overweight (OW) and obese (OB) 9-14 years old children. Our purpose was to describe the effects of activity and a glucose drink on short term FI, appetite,
We examined the hypothesis that patients with impaired glucose tolerance or type II diabetes mellitus have reduced glucose-induced thermogenesis and that this perpetuates obesity in them by reducing energy expenditure. The thermic response after a 75-g glucose meal for 150 minutes was significantly
This study examined the effect of glucose ingestion on cardiac autonomic function in nonobese women and obese women with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Heart rate variability was measured via continuous electrocardiogram, and beat-by-beat blood pressure was recorded using finger
The activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDHC), a key enzyme complex in the oxidative disposal of glucose, was measured after an oral glucose load in the heart, liver, quadriceps muscle, white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) of gold-thioglucose (GTG)-obese mice at different stages
An intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) was administered in both lean (n = 9) and obese (n = 14) volunteers to ascertain the importance of the dynamic interactions between insulin and glucose on plasma concentrations of two amino acids known to be primarily used by skeletal muscle, namely
OBJECTIVE
In diet-induced obesity, it is not clear whether impaired glucose metabolism is caused directly by the diet, or indirectly via obesity. This study examined the effects of different free-choice, high-caloric, obesity-inducing diets on glucose metabolism. In these free-choice diets,
A major portion of insulin-mediated glucose uptake occurs via the translocation of GLUT 4 glucose transporter proteins from an intracellular depot to the plasma membrane. We have examined gene expression for the GLUT 4 transporter isoform in subcutaneous adipocytes, a classic insulin target cell, to
