Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in the infrared spectrum exerts positive effects on
glucose metabolism, but the use of PBMT at the red spectrum has not been assessed. Male …

Aims/hypotheses High-fat diets produce obesity and glucose intolerance by promoting the
development of insulin resistance in peripheral tissues and liver. The present studies sought …

Obesity and ensuing disorders are increasingly prevalent in young populations. Prolonged
exposure to high-fat diets (HFD) and excessive lipid accumulation were recently suggested …

Skeletal muscle is the major site for insulin-stimulated glucose disposal, and muscle insulin
resistance confers many negative health outcomes. Muscle is composed of multiple fiber …

Dietary energy source can influence muscle glycogen storage at slaughter. However, few
studies have demonstrated whether the diet-induced change of muscle glycogen is …

Although resveratrol (RES) is thought to be a key regulator of insulin sensitivity in rodents,
the exact mechanism underlying this effect remains unclear. Therefore, we sought to …

Hepatocyte insulin resistance is one of the early factors of developing type II diabetes. If
insulin resistance is treated early, type II diabetes could be prevented. In recent years …

Purpose Recent evidence has demonstrated an obesity-induced, skeletal muscle-specific
reduction in contractile performance. The extent and magnitude of these changes in relation …

Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are two important metabolic organelles for the
maintenance of cellular homeostasis and their functional defects are suspected to …

Background Diet-induced obesity is a rising health concern which can lead to the
development of glucose intolerance and muscle insulin resistance and, ultimately, type II …
