Clinical Phenotypes of PCOS: a Cross-Sectional Study
( Springer , 2023 , Article)This cross-sectional study examines the Doi-Alshoumer PCOS clinical phenotype classification in relation to measured clinical and biochemical characteristics of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Two cohorts of ... -
Comparing Methods for Induction of Insulin Resistance in Mouse 3T3-L1 Cells.
( Bentham Science Publishers , 2024 , Article)Cell culture plays a crucial role in addressing fundamental research questions, particularly in studying insulin resistance (IR) mechanisms. Multiple in vitro models are utilized for this purpose, but their technical ... -
Dicarbonyl stress, protein glycation and the unfolded protein response
( Springer , 2021 , Article Review)The reactive dicarbonyl metabolite, methylglyoxal (MG), is increased in obesity and diabetes and is implicated in the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and vascular complications of diabetes. ... -
GATA-3 as a potential therapeutic target for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
( PubMed Central , 2020 , Article Review)Impaired adipogenesis plays an important role in the development of obesity-associated insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes as it leads to ectopic fat deposition. The anti-adipogenic transcription factor GATA-3 was ... -
Hexokinase-2-Linked Glycolytic Overload and Unscheduled Glycolysis—Driver of Insulin Resistance and Development of Vascular Complications of Diabetes
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2022 , Article)The recent discovery of the glucose-induced stabilization of hexokinase-2 (HK2) to proteolysis in cell dysfunction in model hyperglycemia has revealed a likely key initiating factor contributing to the development of insulin ... -
Metabolic changes after surgical fat removal: A dose–response meta-analysis
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article Review)BackgroundBariatric surgery averts obesity-induced insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. By contrast, surgical fat removal is considered merely an esthetic endeavor. The aim of this article was to establish whether ... -
Metabolic signature of obesity-associated insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
( BMC , 2019 , Article)Obesity is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, some obese individuals maintain their insulin sensitivity and exhibit a lower risk of associated comorbidities. ... -
Metabolomics of lean/overweight insulin resistant females reveals alterations in steroids and fatty acids.
( Endocrine Society , 2020 , Article)The global diabetes epidemic is largely attributed to obesity-triggered metabolic syndrome. However, the impact of insulin resistance (IR) prior to obesity on the high prevalence of diabetes and the molecular mediators ... -
Mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic inflammation in polycystic ovary syndrome
( MDPI , 2021 , Article Review)Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine–metabolic disorder affecting a vast population worldwide; it is linked with anovulation, mitochondrial dysfunctions and hormonal disbalance. Mutations in mtDNA ... -
Race/ethnicity and challenges for optimal insulin therapy
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)AimsWe aimed to review insulin dosing recommendations, insulin regulation and its determinants, glycaemic response to carbohydrates, and the efficacy and safety of insulin therapy in different races/ethnicities. MethodsWe ... -
Reversal of insulin resistance in overweight and obese subjects by trans-resveratrol and hesperetin combination—link to dysglycemia, blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and low-grade inflammation
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2021 , Article)The dietary supplement, trans-resveratrol and hesperetin combination (tRES-HESP), induces expression of glyoxalase 1, countering the accumulation of reactive dicarbonyl glycating agent, methylglyoxal (MG), in overweight ... -
RPL13A and EEF1A1 Are Suitable Reference Genes for qPCR during Adipocyte Differentiation of Vascular Stromal Cells from Patients with Different BMI and HOMA-IR
( Public Library of Science (PLoS) , 2016 , Article)Real-time or quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a useful technique that requires reliable reference genes for data normalization in gene expression analysis. Adipogenesis is among the biological processes suitable for this technique. ... -
Suppression of GATA-3 increases adipogenesis, reduces inflammation and improves insulin sensitivity in 3T3L-1 preadipocytes
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)© 2020 Impaired adipogenesis plays an important role in the development of obesity-associated insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Adipose tissue inflammation is a crucial mediator of this process. GATA-3 plays important ... -
The role of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-1B in cardiovascular disease and its interplay with insulin resistance
( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article Review)Endothelial dysfunction is a key feature of cardiovascular disorders associated with obesity and diabetes. Several studies identified protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-1B, a member of the PTP superfamily, as a major ...
