Circulating adiponectin levels increase in rats on caloric restriction: the potential for insulin sensitization

Experimental Gerontology

Abstract

Caloric restriction (CR) has a well-known insulin sensitizing effect in vivo. Although this effect has been confirmed in rodents and primates for many years, its precise molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here we show a significant increase in plasma adiponectin and a decrease in blood glucose, plasma triglyceride and insulin levels in rats maintained on CR diet for 2, 10, 15, and 20 months. Long-term CR rats exhibited significantly higher insulin-stimulated insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation and lower PTP-1B activity both in liver and skeletal muscle than those observed in rats fed ad libitum (AL). In addition, the triglyceride levels in these tissues were significantly lower in long-term CR animals. Interestingly, concentrations of plasma adiponectin in long-term CR rats were associated with increased expression of the transcription factor mRNAs for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)alpha, gamma and delta, but decreased expression for SREBP-1c, resulting in a concerted modulation in the expression of key transcription target genes involved in fatty acid oxidation and energy combustion in liver. Taken together, our findings suggest an important role for adiponectin in the beneficial effects of long-...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
