Impact des cytokines pro-inflammatoires sur la signalisation insulinique de l’adipocyte
Au cours de l’obésité, l’inflammation métabolique qui se développe dans le tissu adipeux (TA) va conduire à la production de cytokines inflammatoires (Chapitre Inflammation du tissu adipeux au cours de l’obési...

Deficiency in the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1) protects leptin-deficient mice from insulin resistance without affecting obesity
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity is increased in adipose tissue in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus and strong evidences suggests that it is implicated in the downregulation of insulin ...

Involvement of TNF-α in abnormal adipocyte and muscle sortilin expression in obese mice and humans
Insulin resistance is caused by numerous factors including inflammation. It is characterised by defective insulin stimulation of adipocyte and muscle glucose transport, which requires the glucose transporter G...

The antidiabetic drug metformin exerts an antitumoral effect in vitro and in vivo through a decrease of cyclin D1 level
Metformin is a widely used antidiabetic agent, which regulates glucose homeostasis through inhibition of liver glucose production and an increase in muscle glucose uptake. Recent studies suggest that metformin...

Differential effects of IRS1 phosphorylated on Ser307 or Ser632 in the induction of insulin resistance by oxidative stress
Induction of stress kinases leading to serine hyperphosphorylation of IRS1 may link oxidative stress to insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of the phosphorylated serine resid...

Correction: Corrigendum: The lipid phosphatase SHIP2 controls insulin sensitivity
Nature 409, 92–96 (2001). In this Letter, we investigated the production and the phenotypic characterization of a SHIP2 (SH2 domain containing inositol phosphate 5-phosphatase type 2, or Inppl1) knockout mice....

MAP kinases and mTOR mediate insulin-induced phosphorylation of Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 on serine residues 307, 612 and 632
Insulin-induced IRS-1 serine phosphorylation could be physiologically important to regulate insulin action. In a hyperinsulinaemic state such as obesity or Type 2 diabetes, this phosphorylation could be modifi...

GTPase activating protein activity for Rab4 is enriched in the plasma membrane of 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Possible involvement in the regulation of Rab4 subcellular localization
The small guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP)ase Rab4 has been suggested to play a role in insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation. Under insulin stimulation, GLUT4 translocates to the plasma membranes, while Rab4 lea...

Alterations in insulin signalling pathway induced by prolonged insulin treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes
Insulin-induced glucose transport stimulation, which results from the translocation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT 4)-containing vesicles, is completely blocked after prolonged insulin treatment of 3T3-L1 adip...

Autoantibodies to the insulin receptor are infrequent findings in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus of recent onset
To determine whether autoantibodies to the insulin receptor may represent markers of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, the prevalence of such antibodies was investigated in sera of 60 newly diagnosed untrea...

Effect of an α-glycosidase inhibitor on experimentally-induced obesity in mice
The effect of prolonged treatment with acarbose, an inhibitor of α-glycosidase, has been studied in mice made obese and hyperinsulinaemic by goldthioglucose. After the onset of obesity, one month after goldthi...

Hypoglycaemia induced by antibodies to insulin receptor following a bone marrow transplantation in an immunodeficient child
Severe hypoglycaemia developed seven months after a bone marrow transplantation in a child with severe combined immunodeficiency. His serum exerted potent insulin-like activity: (a) it stimulated insulin recep...
