Journal ArticleDOI

Adiponectin stimulates glucose utilization and fatty-acid oxidation by activating AMP-activated protein kinase

TL;DR: It is shown that phosphorylation and activation of the 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) are stimulated with globular and full-length Ad in skeletal muscle and only with full- lengths Ad in the liver, indicating that stimulation of glucose utilization and fatty-acid oxidation by Ad occurs through activation of AMPK.
Journal ArticleDOI

AMP-kinase regulates food intake by responding to hormonal and nutrient signals in the hypothalamus

TL;DR: Hypothalamic AMPK plays a critical role in hormonal and nutrient-derived anorexigenic and orexigenic signals and in energy balance, and inhibition of hypothalamic AM PK is necessary for leptin's effects on food intake and body weight, as constitutively active AMPK blocks these effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

SREBP transcription factors: master regulators of lipid homeostasis.

TL;DR: The unique regulation and activation properties of each SREBP isoform facilitate the co-ordinate regulation of lipid metabolism; however, further studies are needed to understand the detailed regulation pathways that specifically regulate each S REBP isoforms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Biology of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors: Relationship With Lipid Metabolism and Insulin Sensitivity

TL;DR: The PPARs are major regulators of lipid and glucose metabolism, allowing adaptation to the prevailing nutritional environment, and their action on muscle insulin sensitivity may be secondary to the lowering of circulating lipids on PPAR-gamma activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c is a major mediator of insulin action on the hepatic expression of glucokinase and lipogenesis-related genes

TL;DR: It is proposed that SREBP-1c is a major mediator of insulin action on hepatic gene expression and a key regulator of hepatic glucose/lipid metabolism.
