Insulin-stimulated glucose disposal: does adipose play a role?

Article Abstract:

Maintaining glucose homeostasis may involve adipose, or fat cells, in addition to muscle. The role of adipose seems important in the context of orally administered glucose, while muscle is the site of glucose transport in intravenous glucose dosages. Increased fat cells are associated with a higher circulating concentration of lactose, especially in obesity. These findings challenge the traditional concept of glucose homeostasis.

Genetic and environmental contributions

Article Abstract:

Issues discussed concern the relationship between insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, and hypertension, focusing on the physiological aspects of glucose metabolism. Topics addressed include the environmental and genetic factors that influence insulin action in humans.

Relationships with physical activity

Article Abstract:

Research presented concerns the potential benefits of exercise on the prevention and management of insulin resistance. The physiological aspects of insulin sensitivity are discussed, as research reveals higher levels of insulin sensitivity after exercise.
