Genes and pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes reviewed
Published in Obesity and Diabetes Week, January 31st, 2005
"The Randle cycle, which has been invoked to explain the reciprocal relationship between fatty acid oxidation and glucose oxidation, has long been implicated as a potential mechanism for hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Now genetic, functional genomic, and transgenic approaches have identified PPAR-gamma coactivators (PGC-1alpha and PGC-1beta) as key regulators of mitochondrial number and function. They regulate adaptive thermogenesis as well as glucose and fat oxidation in muscle and fat tissue, gluconeogenesis in...
