Adipose tissue lipolysis and fatty acid reesterification by liver and adipose tissue were investigated in rats fasted for 15 h under basal and calorigenic conditions. The fatty acid flux initiated by adipose fat lipolysis in the fasted rat is mostly

GPR120 is a G protein-coupled receptor expressed preferentially in the intestinal tract and adipose tissue, that has been implicated in mediating free fatty acid-stimulated glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. To develop GPR120-specific agonists, a series of compounds (denoted as NCG compounds)

Beta,beta'-methyl-substituted hexadecanedioic acid (MEDICA 16) consists of a nonmetabolizable long-chain fatty acid designed to probe the effect exerted by fatty acids on insulin sensitivity. The effect of MEDICA 16 was evaluated in insulin-resistant Zucker (fa/fa) rats in terms of liver

Calcium-dependent uncoupling of liver mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation by a non-metabolizable long chain fatty acyl analogue was compared with uncoupling induced by in vivo thyroid hormone treatment. beta,beta'-Methyl-substituted hexadecane alpha, omega-dioic acid (Medica 16) is reported here to induce a saturable

The putative role played by insulin sensitizers in modulating adipose tissue lipolysis in the fasting state was evaluated in obese conscious Zucker rats treated with troglitazone or beta,beta'-tetramethylhexadecanedioic acid (MEDICA 16) and compared with nontreated lean and obese animals. The
