Since the discovery of TNF-a expression by adipocytes, was a great advance in the field that evidenced the importance of inflammation in the insulin resistance (IR) development. However, this mechanism cannot account for all IR cases. In this context, recent studies have pointed an important correlation between plasma concentrations of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and IR. Evidences s…
Regarding the current association among inflammation, insulin resistance, and obesity, there is a growing interest in the role of macrophage, as they accumulate in the adipose tissue in obesity and show a relationship with measures of insulin resistance. Macrophages may display two different activation states, one classically pro-inflammatory, known as M1, characterized by pro-inflammator…
Recent studies indicate a strong correlation among plasmatic levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and its metabolites with insulin resistance (IR) in humans. Regarding animal models, data suggest that increased BCAA levels can contribute in the reduction of insulin sensitivity. In parallel, over the last 20 years after the propagation of gastric bypass bariatric surgery (GBS) there…
