MicroRNAs have been shown to play an important role in insulin signaling but their biological function resistance induced by saturated fatty acids (SFA) remains largely unknown. Here, we report that SFA palmitate and high fat diet (HFD) significantly increase expression of miR‐29a myocytes. targets IRS‐1 3'UTR directly represses at the translational level. Furthermore, ectopic impairs glucose uptake myocytes through a substantial decrease IRS‐1. These findings suggest up‐regulation is...

Scope Obesity increases intracellular lipid accumulation in key tissues or organs, which often leads to metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance. Diets rich saturated fatty acid (SFA) exacerbate obesity hepatic steatosis, accentuate the risk of resistance type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Although microRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role regulation gene expression, implication obesity‐induced miRNAs disorders particularly development is largely unknown. Here, we investigated miR‐15b, induced by SFA...

Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is a member of LDL receptor family that plays key role in systemic glucose and lipid homeostasis. LRP1 also regulates energy balance the hypothalamus by mediating leptin's anorexigenic action, although underlying neurocircuitry involved still unclear. Because GABAergic neurons are major mediator hypothalamic leptin we studied action using mice lacking Vgat- or AgRP-expressing (Vgat-Cre;

Leptin is an adipocyte-derived satiety factor that suppresses food intake and increases energy expenditure by reaching anorexigenic neurons in the brain. While leptin typically interacts with receptor (LepR), evidence reveals a high binding affinity of to choroid plexus (ChP), distinct brain barrier mediates peripheral-brain signal communication, LepR-deficient db/db mice obese Zucker rats. This suggests ChP may be major site for transport through specific receptors other than LepR. Here, we...

Abstract Altered hepatic glucose fluxes are critical during the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. G protein-coupled receptors represent important regulators production. Recent studies have shown that hepatocytes express GPCRs can couple to 12/13 , a subfamily heterotrimeric proteins has attracted relatively little attention in past. Here we show, by analyzing several mutant mouse strains, selective activation hepatocyte signaling leads pronounced hyperglycemia and this effect involves...
