Abstract

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with insulin resistance, the mechanisms of which remain poorly understood. A significant correlation between circulating IL-6 level and insulin sensitivity has recently been found in humans. Because adipose tissue could be a significant source of IL-6, we analyzed the relationship between the levels of adipose tissue IL-6 and insulin action in vivo, during a hyperinsulinemic normoglycemic clamp, and in vitro by measuring glucose transport in adipocytes from 12 obese subjects with (n = 7) or without (n = 5) diabetes. We observed an inverse correlation between adipose tissue IL-6 content and maximal insulin-responsiveness measured in vivo (P < 0.02) and in vitro (P < 0.02). Conversely, there was no significant correlation between these two later parameters and adipose tissue leptin or tumor necrosis factor-α protein contents. Furthermore, we showed, for the first time, the presence of immunoreactive IL-6 receptors in the plasma membrane of human abdominal sc adipocytes. This suggests that locally secreted IL-6 could act on adipocytes by an autocrine/paracrine mechanism. In conclusion, increased IL-6 production by sc adipose cells might participate to the insulin-resistant state observed in human obesity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
