An increasing body of evidence has linked AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and
malonyl coenzyme A (CoA) to the regulation of energy balance. Thus, factors that activate …

Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle is linked to an elevated adipose tissue mass, as is
found in obesity, but can also be observed in lipodystrophy, in which adipose tissue is …

AF is by far the most common sustained tachyarrhythmia. Lifetime risks for development of
AF are approximately 1 in 4 for men and women 40 years of age and older. 1, 2 This …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between adipocyte

From the perspective of a muscle physiologist, adipose tissue has long been perceived
predominantly as a fuel reservoir that provides muscle and other tissues with NEFA when …

Background Epicardial adiposity and plasma levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) are elevated in
atrial fibrillation, heart failure and obesity, with potentially detrimental effects on myocardial …

Modulators of angiopoietin-like 4 protein are provided along with methods for their use in the
treatment of diseases and pathological conditions. Combinations of ANGPTL4 antago nists …

Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle is an early event in the development of diabetes with

In this study, an obese C57BL/6J mice model was induced to compare the effect of different
high protein diets (soybean protein and pork protein) on obesity. The obese mice were …

Background We evaluated plasma ASP and its precursor C3 in type 2 diabetic men
with/without rosiglitazone (ROSI) treatment compared to healthy non-obese men. We tested …
