Obesity and associated chronic inflammation initiate a state of insulin resistance (IR). The
secretion of chemoattractants such as MCP-1 and MIF and of cytokines IL-6, TNF-α, and IL …

A characteristic feature of aged humans and other mammals is the debilitating, progressive
loss of skeletal muscle function and mass that is known as sarcopenia. Age-related muscle …

The term “fat” may refer to lipids as well as the cells and tissue that store lipid (ie, adipocytes

Recent evidence has demonstrated that insulin resistance is related to the development of
type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our previous study found that high-fat diet (HFD) consumption …

The risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is exceptionally high among both

Chronic exercise training results in numerous skeletal muscle adaptations, including
increases in insulin sensitivity and glycogen content. To understand the mechanism leading …

While TOFA (acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor) and C75 (fatty acid synthase inhibitor)
prevent lipid accumulation by inhibiting fatty acid synthesis, the mechanism of action is not …

Alterations in fat metabolism, in particular elevated plasma concentrations of free fatty acids
