The aim of this study was to investigate the evolution of the adrenergic and insulin-mediated
regulation of lipolysis during different phases of a 6-mo dietary intervention. Eight obese …

Obesity is a major health problem in the western world and its frequency is steadily
increasing. Although overeating and physical inactivity are probably the major causes of …

The effects of fasting on insulin-induced antilipolysis and lipogenesis were investigated in
vitro in isolated human fat cells of 11 obese females. Glycerol release and lipogenesis were …

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 …

Adipocyte mobilization of fatty acids (lipolysis) is instrumental for energy expenditure.
Lipolysis displays both spontaneous (basal) and hormone-stimulated activity. It is unknown if …

The aim of this review is to summarize the mechanisms underlying insulin resistance in
morbid obesity. Glucose regulation by insulin depends on the suppression of endogenous …

Objective In obese subjects, chronically elevated plasma concentrations of non-esterified
fatty acids (NEFAs) exert a marked risk to contract insulin resistance and subsequently type …

Aims/hypothesis Insulin resistance may be associated with ectopic fat accumulation
potentially determined by reduced lipid oxidation. In patients with type 1 diabetes peripheral …

The aim of this study was to evaluate in premenopausal women (10 sedentary obese
women) the effects of 10 days of exercise on the suppression of whole body and regional …

Stimulation of lipolysis and the induction of resistance to insulin's actions on glucose
metabolism are well-recognized effects of growth hormone (GH). To evaluate whether these …
