The Effects Of Resistance Exercise Training On Insulin Resistance Development In Female Rodents With Type 1 Diabetes, Mitchell James Sammut
The Effects Of Resistance Exercise Training On Insulin Resistance Development In Female Rodents With Type 1 Diabetes, Mitchell James Sammut
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The etiology of insulin resistance (IR) development in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) remains unclear; however, impaired skeletal muscle metabolism may play a role. While IR development has been established in male T1DM rodents, female rodents have yet to be examined in this context. Resistance exercise training (RT) has been shown to improve IR and is associated with a lower risk of hypoglycemia onset in T1DM compared to aerobic exercise. Additionally, the molecular mechanisms mediating RT-induced improvements in insulin sensitivity remain unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of RT on IR development in female …

Gpr75 Deficiency Attenuates High Fat Diet-Driven Obesity And Glucose Intolerance, Sakib Hossain
NYMC Student Theses and Dissertations
Recently, a collaboration between Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and the Schwartzman-Garcia labs at New York Medical College published an exome sequencing study of individuals across the United Kingdom, United States, and Mexico which concluded that individuals possessing non-functioning, truncated mutations to the orphan g protein coupled receptor (GPCR), GPR75, had lower BMI and 54% reduced likelihood of obesity. The present study was undertaken to fully characterize the metabolic phenotype of Gpr75 deficient mice when fed a high fat diet (HFD) and explore potential mechanisms by which GPR75 activation links to increased adiposity and decreased glucose tolerance. After 14 weeks of HFD-feeding we …
