Extranuclear Actions of the Androgen Receptor Enhance Glucose-Stimulated Insulin Secret... - 0 views

    only abstract available here. Mouse model finds possible explanation for low Testosterone and diabetes link.  Actually, the link is between the metabolite DHT and the AR. The activity of AR from DHT binding induces beta cell insulin secretion in the presence of glucose.  This is dependent on glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor activation also, which AR activation by DHT does in fact do.

Targeting gut microbiota in obesity: effects of prebiotics and probiotics : Article : N... - 0 views

  • gut microbes have a role in the host's metabolic homeostasis
  • lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
  • Associations between circulating LPS level, consumption of a high-fat diet and the presence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus have been confirmed in humans

  • high-fat diet induces metabolic endotoxemia in healthy individuals.
  • A link between energy intake (high-fat diet) and metabolic endotoxemia has also been described
  • associations have been proposed between high-fat diet, metabolic endotoxemia and levels of inflammatory markers (TLRs and SOCS3) in mononuclear cells
  • metabolic endotoxemia is associated with systemic and adipose tissue inflammation in pregnant women with obesity
  • A growing amount of evidence indicates that changes in the integrity of the intestinal barrier occur both in the proximal and the distal part of the gut, which can contribute to the entrance of LPS into the systemic circulation
  • intestinal endocannabinoid system
  • The low-grade systemic inflammation that characterizes the obese phenotype is controlled by peptides that are produced in the gut. These peptides are influenced by the presence or absence of the gut microbiota
  • these findings suggest that the gut microbiota modulates the biological systems that regulate the availability of nutrients, energy storage, fat mass development and inflammation in the host, which are all components of the obese phenotype
  •  
    good look of how the the gut health, or lack there of, can influence energy homeostasis and contribute to obesity.  This article points to the presence of LPS playing a role in metabolic endotoxemia.  It does discuss the importance of the microbiota and their possible role in the low-grade systemic inflammation condition that is obesity.

    Exercise is not just for calories out.  Exercise increases growth hormone, IGF-1, glucagon-like peptide 1, IL-6, and IL-1ra.  The effect is to GH increases beta islet cell mass and protects beta cell lines against IL-1beta, Interferon-gamma and TNF-alhpa induced apoptosis.  IL-6 increased production increases GLP-1 and IL-1ra which counters IL-1beta.  Interleukin-1beta induces islet cell apoptosis and thus IL-1ra counters this pro-inflammatory signal.
