100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin perspective: insulin and adipose tissue fatty acid metabolism

AC Carpentier - American Journal of Physiology …, 2021 - journals.physiology.org
Insulin inhibits systemic nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) flux to a greater degree than glucose
or any other metabolite. This remarkable effect is mainly due to insulin-mediated inhibition of …

F Karpe, JR Dickmann, KN Frayn - Diabetes, 2011 - Am Diabetes Assoc
There is a widespread acceptance in the literature that plasma nonesterified fatty acids

Fatty acid metabolism in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus

EE Blaak - Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2003 - cambridge.org
Disturbances in pathways of lipolysis and fatty acid handling are of importance in the
aetiology of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. There is evidence that a lowered …

Trafficking of nonesterified fatty acids in insulin resistance and relationship to dysglycemia

RE Walker, JL Ford, RC Boston… - American Journal …, 2020 - journals.physiology.org
In adipose, insulin functions to suppress intracellular lipolysis and secretion of nonesterified
fatty acid (NEFA) into plasma. We applied glucose and NEFA minimal models (MM) …

YT Kruszynska, JM Olefsky, JP Frias - Metabolism, 2003 - Elsevier
Elevation of plasma nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels has been shown to impair the
actions of insulin on peripheral glucose uptake and suppression of hepatic glucose output …

Mechanism of insulin-stimulated clearance of plasma nonesterified fatty acids in humans

AC Carpentier, F Frisch, P Brassard… - American Journal …, 2007 - journals.physiology.org
Insulin increases plasma nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) clearance in humans, but whether
this is independent of change in plasma NEFA appearance is currently unknown. Nine …

Peripheral and hepatic insulin sensitivity in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus: effect of nonesterified fatty acids

M Walker, L Agius, H Orskov, K Alberti - Metabolism, 1993 - Elsevier
Plasma nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels are increased in the insulin-stimulated state in
non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and may contribute to the decrease in …

J Girard - Diabete & Metabolisme, 1995 - europepmc.org
Non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) is characterized by overproduction of glucose,

V Grill, E Qvigstad - British Journal of Nutrition, 2000 - cambridge.org
It has long been recognized that acute elevation of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA)
stimulates insulin secretion to a moderate extent both in vitro and in vivo. The effects of …
