New obesity and diabetes research from G. Musso and colleagues discussed

Scientists discuss in 'Prolonged saturated fat-induced, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide elevation is associated with adipokine imbalance and liver injury in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: dysregulated enteroadipocyte axis as a novel feature of fatty liver' new findings in obesity and diabetes. "Genetic and acquired mechanisms underlying the association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with diabetes are unknown. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) was recently linked to adipocyte metabolism and obesity-related metabolic disorders, including NAFLD, induced by an excess of saturated fatty acids (SFAs), but its role in vivo, as well as underlying...
