Increased visceral adipose tissue is thought to contribute to impaired glucose tolerance. We studied 10 men with non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM) before and after a 12-week intervention study using dexfenfluramine. Subjects had a mean body mass index (BMI) of 26.4 ± 1.7 kg\m2 and had an abdominal distribution of body fatness (waist-to hip ratio >0.9). Anthropometric indices, biochemistry, macronutrient intake from 7-day food records as well as a euglycaemic glucose clamp and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed at week 0 and week 12. Abdominal adipose tissue area measured by MRI was reduced from 854 ± 270 cm2 to 666 ± 231 cm2 (p=0.003) due mainly to a selective 32% reduction in visceral fat area from 484 ± 230 cm2 to 333 ± 72 cm2 (p=0.002). Insulin sensitivity improved from 0.29 ± 0.13 [min?1 (mU/L)] to 0.54 ± 0.21 [min?1 (mU/L)] (p=0.01) and C-peptide levels reduced from 0.77 ± 0.24 μmol/L to 0.58 ± 0.15 μmol/L (p=0.002). The reductions in fasting glucose and glycated haemoglobin failed to achieve significance. Fasting total cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly reduced (p=<0.001 and p=0.021 respectively). There was a reduction in total energy intake (p=0.005) due to a significant reduction in calories obtained from fat (p<0.001). Thus dexfenfluramine was shown to be a useful adjunct therapy for the reduction of visceral fat in abdominally-obese men with NIDDM with an associated improvement in insulin sensitivity. 相似文献

On the origins of esterases 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Comparisons among the primary sequences of five cloned eukaryotic esterases
reveal two distinct lineages, neither bearing any significant overall
sequence similarity to the functionally related serine protease multigene
family. We have not eliminated the possibility that the esterases may have
residual conformational similarities to the serine proteases. However, our
profile analysis and analyses of the predicted conformations of the
esterases reveal little similarity to the serine proteases. Four of the
esterase proteins share 27%-53% overall sequence similarity and evidence of
a catalytic mechanism involving the same Arg- Asp-Ser or His-Asp-Ser charge
relay. We propose that these four esterases, three of them cholinesterases,
form part of a multigene family essentially separate from the serine
proteases.

Background
Incorporation of exon 11 of the insulin receptor gene is both developmentally and hormonally-regulated. Previously, we have shown the presence of enhancer and silencer elements that modulate the incorporation of the small 36-nucleotide exon. In this study, we investigated the role of inherent splice site strength in the alternative splicing decision and whether recognition of the splice sites is the major determinant of exon incorporation. 相似文献60.
