Highlights•IL-6 trans-signaling recruits macrophages to adipose tissue in HFD-induced obesity•Blocking IL-6 with sgp130Fc prevents ATM accumulation•Prevention of accumulation obesity does not rescue insulin resistance•Blocking exacerbate resistanceSummaryInterleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a paradoxical role inflammation and metabolism. The pro-inflammatory effects are mediated via "trans-signaling," process where the soluble form receptor (sIL-6R) binds activates signaling inflammatory cells that...

Induction of heat shock protein (HSP)72 protects against obesity-induced insulin resistance, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, we show that HSP72 plays a pivotal role in increasing skeletal muscle mitochondrial number and oxidative metabolism. Mice overexpressing (HSP72Tg) control wild-type (WT) mice were fed either chow or high-fat diet (HFD). Despite similar energy intake when HSP72Tg compared with WT mice, HFD increased body weight, intramuscular lipid accumulation...

Circulating interleukin (IL)-18 is elevated in obesity, but paradoxically causes hypophagia. We hypothesized that IL-18 may attenuate high-fat diet (HFD)-induced insulin resistance by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). studied mice with a global deletion of the α-isoform receptor (IL-18R(-/-)) fed standard chow or HFD. next performed gain-of-function experiments skeletal muscle, vitro, ex vivo, and vivo. show implicated metabolic homeostasis, inflammation, via mechanisms...

The antineutrino spectra measured in recent experiments at reactors are inconsistent with calculations based on the conversion of integral beta recorded ILL reactor. (92)Rb makes dominant contribution to reactor spectrum 5-8 MeV range but its decay properties question. We have studied total absorption spectroscopy. Previously unobserved feeding was seen 4.5-5.5 region and GS found be 87.5(25)%. impact calculated summation method is shown discussed.

Purpose: To compare the thermoregulatory responses between constant (CON) and variable-intensity exercise (VAR) in a dry-hot environment (36°C, 29% relative humidity, 2.5 m·s−1 airflow). Methods: In random order, seven endurance-trained, heat-acclimated subjects cycled either at 60% V˙O2max or alternating 1.5 min 90% with 4.5 50% (VAR). Total work output (915 ± 100 kJ) duration (90 min) were identical both trials. Results: Net metabolic heat production was not different trials (394 12 vs...

Objective Adipose inflammation and dysfunction underlie metabolic obesity. Exercise improves glycemic control indices, but effects on adipose function are less clear. Accordingly, it was hypothesized that exercise morphometry to reduce in hyperphagic obese mice. Methods Alms1 mutant foz/foz mice housed pairs were fed an atherogenic or chow diet; half the cages fitted with a computer‐monitored wheel for voluntary exercise. Insulin‐induced AKT‐phosphorylation, adipocyte size distribution,...

The accumulation of lipid at ectopic sites, including the skeletal muscle and liver, is a common consequence obesity associated with tissue-specific whole body insulin resistance. Exercise well known to improve resistance by mechanisms not completely understood. We performed lipidomic profiling via mass spectrometry in liver samples from exercise-trained mice decipher changes exercise-induced improvements glucose metabolism. Obesity were induced C57BL/6J high-fat feeding for 4 wk. Mice then...

We investigate the decay of $^{87,88}\mathrm{Br}$ and $^{94}\mathrm{Rb}$ using total absorption $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy. These important fission products are $\ensuremath{\beta}$-delayed neutron emitters. Our data show considerable $\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ intensity, so far unobserved in high-resolution spectroscopy, from states at high excitation energy. also find significant differences with $\ensuremath{\beta}$ intensity that can be deduced existing...

Total absorption spectroscopy is used to investigate the β-decay intensity states above neutron separation energy followed by γ-ray emission in (87,88)Br and (94)Rb. Accurate results are obtained thanks a careful control of systematic errors. An unexpectedly large γ observed all three cases extending well beyond excitation region where penetration hindered low energy. The branching as function compared Hauser-Feshbach model calculations. For (87)Br (88)Br reaches 57% 20%, respectively, could...

We tested whether effects exercise are mediated through fecal components assessment body metabolism in recipients transplantation (FMT) from exercise-trained (ET) mice fed normal or high-energy diets.

It has been suggested that interleukin-6 (IL-6) produced by adipocytes in obesity leads to liver insulin resistance, although this hypothesis never definitively tested. Accordingly, we did so generating adipocyte-specific IL-6-deficient (AdipoIL-6 −/− ) mice and studying them the context of diet-induced genetic obesity. Mice carrying two floxed alleles IL-6 (C57Bl/6J) were crossed with Cre recombinase-overexpressing driven adiponectin promoter generate AdipoIL-6 mice. littermate controls fed...

Abstract Aspects of team players' performance are negatively affected when ~ 2% body mass is lost by perspiration. Although such dehydration likely reached during summer practice in outdoors sports, it unclear if achieved the indoor sports. We assessed fluid and electrolyte deficits elite players for following sports: soccer ( n =9), basketball =11), volleyball =10), handball =13). Morning hydration status was estimated measuring urine specific gravity. Sweat rate calculated from changes...
