5 categories of metabolic syndrome
(must have 3/5)
obesity
high LDL
low HDL
elevated BP
elevated glucose
result of visceral adiposity
higher tissue volume of visceral fat = more insulin resistant
adipokines secreted by adipocytes
TNFa, IL-6, adiponectin, plasminogen activator, leptin
TNFa
directly affects insulin signalling by inhibitng tyrosine kinase phosphorylation of insulin receptor
stimulates lipolysis
IL-6
icreases circulating FFA
decreases adiponectin secretion
Plaminogen activator inhibitor 1
PAI-1 inhibits plasminogen activator
creates prothrombic milleu in body
acceleration of atherthrombosis
hyper coag
Resistin
increased in pts with insulin resist
decreases insulin sensitivity
adiponectin
low levels in metab synd pts
associated with MI
dec in pts with insulin resist
decreases TNFa and serum FFA
Leptin
regulates appetite
may increase insulin sensitivity
Take Home point of visceral adipocytes:
visceral more metabolically active
metabolic activity mediates insulin resistance: problematic
normal vs abnormal skeletal muscle glucose disposal
normal: tyr kin phos insulin receptor. then go thru PI3 kin to make a GLUT4 receptor: takes glucose out of circ and puts into skeletal muscle

abnormal: FFA and adipokines change tyr kin to ser/thre; reduces PI3, shunt to MAP kin. reduces GLUT4, pull less glucose out of circ
SD-LDL
more athergenic than LDL
prediabetic
people can have insensitivity to insulin for 10-12 years befor Dx of diabetes
Metformin
durg that increases insulin sensitivity

but lifestyle change is more important
