katrinjs@stanford.edu Cell Metab 2021; 33(9): 1836–1852.e11http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/34348115Brief Summary: This rodent study identified a novel adipokine in mice which triggers a signaling cascade similar to that of insulin. By acting via an unknown tyrosine kinase, isthmin-1 (ISM1) ameliorates metabolic disturbances associated wit...

achim.kramer@charite.de Diabetes 2021;70:1985–1999http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/34226282Brief Summary: This study analyzed gene expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue samples of adults with obesity collected before and after the hyperinsulinemic–euglycemic clamp or control saline infusion. They demonstrate that insulin regulat...

11.6. Obesity and hyperinsulinemia drive adipocytes to activate a cell cycle program and senesce

They demonstrate that obesity is associated with the induction of a cell cycle program in mature adipocytes, leading to so-called endoreplication, as a strategy to remain fu...

11.7. Leptin resistance before and after obesity: evidence that tissue glucose uptake underlies adipocyte enlargement and liver steatosis/steatohepatitis in Zucker rats from early-life stages

The animals develop extreme obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. The study of y...
