Does plasma arachidonic acid influence insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in healthy adult women?
Support for the hypothesis that specific fatty acids influence IR is provided. Plasma arachidonic acid was associated to IR, independent on clinical/metabolic study variables. Docosahexaenoic and saturated fatty acids could potentially affect insulin action through modulating mitochondrial oxidative function.
Our results suggest that renal excretion of NO derivatives is not influenced by NO production during renal I/R injury, although NO contributes to the tubular transport capacity in the ischemia/reperfused kidney.
