The role of autophagy in high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance of adipose tissues in mice.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Studies have observed changes in autophagic flux in the adipose tissue of type 2 diabetes patients with obesity. However, the role of autophagy in obesity-induced insulin resistance is unclear. We propose to confirm the effect of a high-fat diet (HFD) on autophagy and insulin signaling transduction from adipose tissue to clarify whether altered autophagy-mediated HFD induces insulin resistance, and to elucidate the possible mechanisms in autophagy-regulated adipose insulin sensitivity.

Methods

Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fed with HFD to confirm the effect of HFD on autophagy and insulin signaling transduction from adipose tissue. Differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with 1.2 mM fatty acids (FAs) and 50 nM Bafilomycin A1 to determine the autophagic flu
