History os insulin resistance
Insulin resistance may be the underlying cause of diabetes mellitus type 2 was first advanced by Prof. Wilhelm Falta and published in Vienna in 1931
THIS theory confirmed by Sir Harold Percival Himsworth of the University College Hospital Medical Centre in London in 1936.
• Definition: Insulin resistance is defined as a failure of
target organs to respond normally to the action of insulin.
• Insulin resistance is a condition in which cells, particularly those of muscle, fat, and liver tissue, display "resistance" to insulin by failing to take up and utilize glucose for energy and metabolism .

How Is Insulin Resistance Measured?
• Determination of insulin resistance is difficult
• Generally measured in terms of the glucose-lowering effects of insulin
• Two common methodologies:– Hyperinsulinemic, euglycemic clamp (EHC): gold standard:
insulin and glucose infused; steady state when glucose infusion equals rate of glucose disposal rate (GDR)
– Homeostasis Model of Assessment (HOMA): fasting glucose and insulin measured for calculation of insulin sensitivity

Diagnosing Metabolic Syndrome
• Waist Circumference o Greater than 35 inches in women and 40 inches in men (abdominal obesity)
• Triglycerideo Levels of 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) or higher
• Blood Pressureo 130/85 millimeters of mercury or higher
• Fasting blood glucoseo Level of 110 mg/dl or higher
• High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL)o Lower than 50 mg/dl in women and 40 mg/dl for men
PBRC 2009
According to the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP), the presence of three or more of the following traits indicates metabolic syndrome:
Diagnosis of metabolic syndrome
The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) clinical criteria for diagnosis of insulin resistance syndrome include the following:
– BMI of 25 kg/m2 or higher – Triglyceride level of 150 mg/dL or higher – HDL-C level of less than 40 mg/dL in men or less than 50 mg/dL in
women – Blood pressure of 130/85 mm Hg or higher – Glucose level of more than 140 mg/dL 2 hours after administration
of 75 g of glucose – Fasting glucose level of 110-126 mg/dL
Treatment of metabolic syndrome
• Lose weighto Losing as little as 5 to 10% of your body weight can reduce insulin levels and
high blood pressure, thus reducing your risk of diabetes.• Exercise
o Walking just 30 minutes a day or engaging in other aerobic activities can help prevent the serious diseases associated with MS.
• Stop smokingo Smoking cigarettes increases insulin resistance and worsens health
consequences associated with MS.• Eat fiber-rich foods
o Whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables are high in dietary fiber. These are important foods to eat since dietary fiber is known to lower insulin levels.
PBRC 2009
Although metabolic syndrome creates a real risk for developing diabetes, stroke or heart disease, these conditions can be prevented. Metabolic syndrome can be controlled by the following:
Adipose tissue act as an endocrine organ
• (1) Adipose tissue is secrete free fatty acids (FFA) ,which have well described physiological and pathophysiological effects on glucose homeostasis
• (2) secrets proteins, termed adipocytokines, that act in an autocrine, paracrine, or endocrine fashion to control various metabolic functions
-Adipose tissue is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes (or fat cells).
Adipose tissue
-Its main role is to store fatty acids in the form of triglycerides, thus providing the organism with effective fuel storage
-besides that it cushions and thermally insulates the body.
Adipose tissue Adipocyte + capillary
adipose tissue-adipose tissue has an important endocrine function as it produces adipokines and inflammatory mediators, amongst others, leptin, adiponectin, resistin , adipsin, TNFα, IL-6 and PAI-1
Because of the production of inflammatory mediators, an excess of adipose tissue leads to a chronic mild inflammatory-state that may play a role in late onset diabetes (insulin resistance).

LEPTIN
Greek word leptos meaning thin . First discover in 1994 . Leptin is a 167-amino acid protein secreted by adipocytes in proportion to adipocyte
tissue mass . The Ob(Lep) gene [Ob for obese, Lep for leptin] is
located on chromosome 7 in humans.

FUNCTION OF LEPTIN
• key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure, including appetite and metabolism.
• Leptin circulates at levels proportional to body fat.
• It controls food intake and energy expenditure by acting on receptors in the mediobasal hypothalamus
• There are five Ob-R isoforms; the best characterized one is Ob-Rb, which activates the Jak-Stat signal transduction pathway

LEPTIN AND INSULIN RESISTANCE• Mice that are deficient in leptin (ob/ob) exhibit
hyperphagia, obesity,hypercortisolemia,infertility,and diabetes.
• Exogenous leptin administration reverses these abnormalities
• Leptin may also improve insulin sensitivity by directly acting on peripheral tissues such as skeletal muscle and liver
ADIPONECTIN
• Adiponectin is a 247-amino acid• It has multiple name, like-AcrP30,AdipoQ, apM1, and
gelatin binding protein.• In human cross-sectional studies, plasma adiponectin
levels are negatively correlated with obesity ,adiposity, and waist to hip ratio, diabetic dyslipidemia,CVD, and insulin resistance .
• Adiponectin knockout mice showed high levels of TNF-α and increased insulin resistance.
• Low plasma adiponectin was an independent risk factor for future development of type 2 diabetes .
• Adiponectin may play a causative role in the development of insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome.
• The mechanisms by which adiponectin may ameliorate insulin resistance have not been fully elucidated.
• One proposed mechanism is that adiponectin decreases circulating FFA by increasing fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle This results in decreased triglyceride content in muscle that has been associated with improved insulin sensitivity
KEY MESSAGE ABOUT ADIPONECTIN• Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived plasma
protein with insulin sensitizing, antiinflammatory, and antiatherogenic properties.
• Although its physiological and pathophysiological role has not been fully elucidated.
• its low levels in insulin resistance states suggest that therapeutic modulation of adiponectin may provide a novel treatment modality for insulin resistance.
RESISTIN
Crystallographic structure of a hexamer of mouse resistin (rainbow colored, N-terminus = blue, C-terminus = red).
RESISTIN
• Resistin is a adipocyte-secreted polypeptide.• first described in 2001 by the group of Dr Mitchell
A. Lazar from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
• Resistin is a member of a family of tissue-specific signaling molecules,called resistin-like molecules .
• The resistin mRNA encodes a 114-amino acid polypeptide with a 20-amino acid signal sequence.
• Resistin is secreted as a disulfide-linked dimmer.
• Resistin, a novel 12.5 kDa cysteine-rich protein, is secreted by adipocytes.
• Serum resistin levels are significantly increased in insulin-resistant mice and genetic or diet-induced obese mice
• In addition, neutralization of endogenous resistin with antibodies significantly suppresses hyperglycaemia in diet-induced obese mice by improving insulin sensitivity.
TNF-α
• TNF-α is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance.
• Increased TNF- α production has been observed in adipose tissue derived from animal models of obesity and insulin resistance as well as human subjects
• probable mechanisms by which adipose tissue TNF- α increases insulin resistance is-
1. increased release of FFA by adipocytes 2. reduction in adiponectin synthesis 3. impairment of insulin signaling
• Additional human studies are needed to understand its role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance in humans.
LIPODYSTROPHY AND INSULIN RESISTANCE
• in the absence of adipose tissue,excess calories cannot be diverted to normal storage depots(adipocytes)
• Than they accumulate, instead as triglyceride stores in liver, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and pancreatic islet cells.
• Abnormal intracellular TG accumulation leads to impaired insulin secretion and action, leading to diabetes
• leptin levels are very low in generalized lipodystrophy.
• low leptin levels correlate significantly with markers of insulin resistance.
∙ In lipodystrophic patients, leptin replacement therapy improved glycemic control and decreased TG levels .
• Leptin treatment improved insulin-stimulated hepatic and peripheral glucose metabolism and was associated with a reduction in hepatic and muscle TG content.
SUMMURY
• The mechanisms by which adipocytokines promote insulin resistance are still complex, and our understanding incomplete.
• the presence of adipose tissue is vital in the prevention of insulin resistance, at least in part, via secretion of the following cytokines: leptin and adiponectin.
• Finally, determining the relative contribution of adipocytokines to glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance and elucidating the dynamic interactions between adipocytokines should be a focus of our research in the future.
