1.000 Biomarker disease BEFREE The observation that thiazolidinediones enhance skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity in obesity and in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), by activating PPARgamma, and possibly by inducing its expression, suggests that PPARgamma expression in skeletal muscle plays a key role in determining tissue sensitivity to insulin, and that PPARgamma expression may be decreased in insulin resistant subjects. 9449686 1998

CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
1.000 Biomarker disease BEFREE Obesity can occur as a result of genetic or acquired changes in three main types of biochemical processes, which are the main focus of this review: a)feeding control, which determines the sensations of satiety and hunger through processes that depend on an interplay between internal signals (notably leptin) and environmental factors; b) energy efficiency, in particular the activation of thermogenesis mediated by uncoupling proteins (UCPs) that makes it possible to dissipate part of the energy contained in food as heat instead of accumulating it as fat, and c) adipogenesis, the process by which cells specialised in fat storage (adipocytes) are formed, which is controlled by an interplay of transcription factors, including members of the C/EBP, PPARgamma and ADD families. 11079733 2000
