  • Therefore, this may explain why short-term feeding of the high-E/N diet was not sufficient to reduce lipotoxic lipids to the point where peripheral insulin resistance was restored.

  • "Future research will explore potential inflammatory and lipotoxic pathways by which intermittent hypoxia disrupts glucose and insulin homeostasis."

    EurekAlert! - Breaking News 2010

  • Thus, the reduction of lipotoxic lipids could be one of the major pathways by which the high-KAA diet maintains muscle AMPK and extrahepatic substrate utilization. ob/ob mice that had already developed noticeable insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis before KAA treatment.

  • Because lipotoxic metabolites such as ceramides and diacylglycerols (DAGs) are believed to be responsible for HFD-induced insulin resistance

  • A few studies along these lines suggested a causal relationship between lipotoxic metabolites and decreased AMPK phosphorylation

  • Effect of high-KAA diet on the production of hepatic and muscular lipotoxic metabolites.

    PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles Yasushi Noguchi et al. 2010

  • Although it was not clear why the high-E/N diet did not affect postprandial insulin levels in ob/ob mice, muscle lipotoxic lipids were considerably higher before KAA treatments than those in high-fat treated C57B6 mice.

  • Effects of high-KAA diet on hyperinsulinemia and lipotoxic metabolite synthesis

    PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles Yasushi Noguchi et al. 2010

  • Thus, we hypothesize that if muscle is protected from accumulation of lipotoxic lipids, peripheral insulin resistance and postprandial hyperinsulinemia will improve.

    PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles Yasushi Noguchi et al. 2010

  • In particular, elevated concentrations of "lipotoxic lipids" such as diacylglycerols and ceramides have been recognized as factors contributing to impaired insulin signaling in non-adipose tissues
