Obese vs. Diabetic Obese • Gene expression samples from gastric bypass patients in fasting state. • Objective: AM triacylGlycerol + MM protein HM glucose • Unique reactions: • Gene expression: 27 obese, 40 diabetic • Multi-tissue model: 29 obese, 94 diabetic • Expression FP: 39 of 67 • Differences mainly in AM
Obese vs. Diabetic Obese • Diabetic AM: • [deminished insulin response] • carnitine shuttle and FA oxidation • Elevated free FA, lactate • HM gluconeogenesis hyperglycemia • Diabetic catalase is inactive causes oxidative damage to tissues • Diabetic cysteinedeoxygenase is inactive (breaks down excess cysteine to pyruvate and taurine)
