Abstract

In order to clarify the effect of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on improvement of insulin resistance, we examined the effects of overexpression of wild-type protein kinase C-ζ (wt-PKCζ)/3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (wt-PDK1) and kinase-inactive PKCζ/PDK1 (ΔPKCζ/ΔPDK1) on DHEA-induced [3H]2-deoxyglucose (DOG) uptake using the electroporation method in rat adipocytes. Overexpression of wt-PKCζ and wt-PDK1 significantly increased in DHEA-induced [3H]2-DOG uptake. Wortmannin completely suppressed DHEA-induced [3H]2-DOG uptake in wt-PKCζ- and wt-PDK1-transfected adipocytes. Overexpression of neither ΔPKCζ nor ΔPDK1 increased DHEA-induced [3H]2-DOG uptake. Otsuka Long-Evans fatty rats (OLETF), animal models of type 2 diabetes, and Long-Evans Tokushima rats (LETO) as control, were treated with 0.4% DHEA for 2 weeks. Insulin-induced [3H]2-DOG uptakes, activations of PI 3-kinase and PKCζ of adipocytes were significantly increased in DHEA-treated OLETF rats. Moreover, plasma glucose levels in OLETF rats after treatment with DHEA for 2 weeks were significantly lower than treatment without DHEA, but not in LETO rats. These results indicate that DHEA treatment may improve glucose tolerance through a PI 3-kinase-PKCζ pathway and downregulates adiposity in OLETF rats.

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko
