Journal ArticleDOI

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: Low levels of BDNF accompany impaired glucose metabolism, and may be a pathogenetic factor involved not only in dementia and depression, but also in type 2 diabetes, potentially explaining the clustering of these conditions in epidemiological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Induces Skeletal Muscle Insulin Resistance in Healthy Human Subjects via Inhibition of Akt Substrate 160 Phosphorylation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TNF-alpha infusion in healthy humans induces insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, without effect on endogenous glucose production, as estimated by a combined euglycemic insulin clamp and stable isotope tracer method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Searching for the exercise factor: is IL-6 a candidate?

TL;DR: It is proposed that IL-6 and other cytokines, which are produced and released by skeletal muscles, exerting their effects in other organs of the body, should be named ‘myokines’.
Journal ArticleDOI

A 2-wk reduction of ambulatory activity attenuates peripheral insulin sensitivity

TL;DR: One possible biological cause for the public health problem of Type 2 diabetes has been identified as reduced ambulatory activity for 2 wk in healthy, nonexercising young men significantly reduced peripheral insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular fitness, and lean leg mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Skeletal muscle adaptation: training twice every second day vs. training once daily

TL;DR: In conclusion, the present study suggests that training twice every second day may be superior to daily training.
