Adipokines and Hepatic Insulin Resistance by Yu Li, Lin Ding, Waseem Hassan, Daoud Abdelkader, Jing Shang

“…Recent studies have shown that these factors might provide a molecular link between increased adiposity and impaired insulin sensitivity. Since hepatic insulin resistance plays the key role in the whole body insulin resistance, clarification of the regulatory processes about hepatic insulin resistance by adipokines in rodents and human would seem essential in order to understand the mechanism of type 2 diabetes and for developing novel therapeutic strategies to treat it.…”

Latent Inflammation and Insulin Resistance in Adipose Tissue by I. S. Stafeev, A. V. Vorotnikov, E. I. Ratner, M. Y. Menshikov, Ye. V. Parfyonova

“…Here, we argue that inflammatory signaling provides a link between latent inflammation, obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic disorders. We further hypothesize that insulin-activated PI3-kinase pathway and inflammatory signaling mediated by several IκB kinases may constitute negative feedback leading to insulin resistance at least in the fat tissue. …”

Predictors of Insulin Resistance in Children versus Adolescents with Obesity by Yvette E. Lentferink, Marieke A. J. Elst, Catherijne A. J. Knibbe, Marja M. J. van der Vorst

“…Obesity is a risk factor to develop metabolic syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Insulin resistance (IR) plays a major part in both. With increasing incidence of childhood obesity, this retrospective study aimed to identify predictors of IR in children/adolescents with obesity to optimize screening for IR. …”

Adipocytokine Associations with Insulin Resistance in British South Asians by D. R. Webb, K. Khunti, S. Chatterjee, J. Jarvis, M. J. Davies

“…We investigated adiponectin, leptin, and TNF-α and assessed the contribution of these molecules to insulin resistance in south Asians. Hypothesis. South Asians have adverse adipocytokine profiles which associate with an HOMA-derived insulin resistance phenotype. …”

Population-Based Studies on the Epidemiology of Insulin Resistance in Children by M. P. van der Aa, S. Fazeli Farsani, C. A. J. Knibbe, A. de Boer, M. M. J. van der Vorst

“…In view of the alarming incidence of obesity in children, insight into the epidemiology of the prediabetic state insulin resistance (IR) seems important. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to give an overview of all population-based studies reporting on the prevalence and incidence rates of IR in childhood. …”
