The results of our and other's studies showed that activation of galanin receptor 1 could mitigate insulin resistance via promoting glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expression and translocation in the skeletal muscle of rats. But no literature are available regarding the effect of galanin receptor 2 (GALR2) on insulin resistance in skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetes. Herein, in this study we intended...
Although galanin has been shown to increase glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expression in skeletal muscle and adipocytes of rats, there is no literature available about the effect of galanin on GLUT4 expression in cardiac muscle of type 2 diabetic rats. In this study, we investigated the relationship between intracerebroventricular administration of M35, a galanin receptor antagonist, and GLUT4 expression...
Insulin resistance, the reciprocal of insulin sensitivity, is known to be a characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and is regarded as an important mechanism in the pathogenesis. The hallmark of insulin resistance is a gradual break-down of insulin-regulative glucose uptake by muscle and adipose tissues in subjects. Insulin resistance is increasingly estimated in various disease conditions to...
Pain threshold may be up-regulated or down-regulated according to gender, age, race/ethnic and psychological state. Previous studies indicated that obesity may change pain threshold, both nociceptive and antinociceptive, which resulted from obesity-reduced variation of neuroendocrine. However there is a limited understanding of its molecular mechanism underlying this variation. A lot of evidence supports...
The rapid increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity is becoming an important health problem. Overweight and obesity may cause several metabolic complications, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, high cholesterol, coronary artery disease as well as hypertension. Prevention and treatment of obesity will benefit the treatment of these related diseases. Current strategies for...
