00:00:00 Gerald Shulman, MD, PhD, discusses how insulin resistance is caused by molecular mechanisms and clinical implications. He also discusses how magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can be used to non-invasively examine cellular glucose and fat metabolism.
00:05:00 This video discusses Gerald Shulman, MD, PhD's insights on insulin resistance. Dr. Shulman explains that insulin resistance is the main factor that leads to type 2 diabetes, but it also amplifies other chronic diseases. He goes on to say that we need to focus on fixing our metabolisms in order to delay the onset of death and chronic disease.
00:10:00 Dr. Gerald Shulman discusses insulin resistance, its molecular mechanisms, and clinical implications. He also discusses the traditional methods used to measure metabolites and their limitations. He explains that labeling metabolites with radioisotopes allows scientists to track their production and clearance in live cells. However, this method is unable to provide information about what is actually happening inside the cell.
00:15:00 Gerald Shulman, MD, PhD, discusses how nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and PET imaging can be used to track the uptake and metabolism of glucose in patients with diabetes.
00:20:00 The video discusses the molecular mechanisms and clinical implications of insulin resistance. It demonstrates that insulin resistance is common and can be traced back to an individual's pre-existing insulin resistance. The video then describes how insulin resistance is measured and discusses the progression from insulin resistance to type 2 diabetes.
00:25:00 Dr. Gerald Shulman discusses the molecular mechanisms behind insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, and various other health problems.
00:30:00 Gerald Shulman, MD, PhD, discusses insulin resistance, its molecular mechanisms, and clinical implications. He explains that in the insulin resistant individual, something is wrong with the transport of glucose into the cell, leading to impaired glucose disposal. This in turn leads to insulin resistance and muscle problems. Shulman shares his view on what's wrong with the transport process in insulin resistant individuals and how to fix it.
00:35:00 The video discusses the clinical implications of lipid-induced insulin resistance, which is the most common form of insulin resistance. Gerald Shulman, MD, PhD, discusses how proton nmr can be used to measure fat inside and outside of cells and how this information can be used to predict block and transport in all volunteers, young and old, sedentary and active. He also discusses how intra-lipid infusion can be used to artificially raise fatty acids to a high level and cause profound insulin resistance.
00:40:00 Gerald Shulman, MD, PhD, discusses the mechanisms behind insulin resistance and its clinical implications. He explains that insulin resistance is due to a block in transport of insulin and glucose, and that this can be caused by fatty acids. He also discusses how human studies have been able to replicate the effects of fatty acid metabolism in vitro on insulin resistance.
00:45:00 This research found that a metabolite known to activate novel PKCs is trapped in animal models of lipid-induced insulin resistance, and that this is linked to reduced insulin tyrosine phosphorylation and increased insulin resistance. These findings suggest that this metabolite may play an important role in the development of insulin resistance.
00:50:00 The study found that young insulin resistant individuals are perfectly fine as long as beta cells are pumping out two to three times the amount of insulin just to maintain normal glycemia. Exercise in muscle can prevent fatty liver and liver insulin resistance.
00:55:00 This video discusses the role of insulin resistance in the development of fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome. Dr. Gerald Shulman explains that in people with insulin resistance, the liver makes more fat through the dnl pathway, which is a significant contributor to these conditions. Dr. Shulman also notes that while most laboratory assays would say a triglyceride level of 150 milligrams per deciliter is normal, this is not the case in practice, as anything over a hundred is considered abnormal. Finally, Dr. Shulman discusses the importance of exercise in the prevention and treatment of these conditions.

In this video, Gerald Shulman, MD, PhD, discusses the role of insulin resistance in the development of various health problems, including atherogenic dyslipidemia, heart disease, and liver disease. He explains that insulin resistance is a molecular phenomenon that leads to the accumulation of disglycerols, which activate a protein called Epsilon that directly inhibits the insulin receptor kinase. This inhibition leads to abnormalities in glucose metabolism, including the inhibition of gluconeogenesis.

01:00:00 Insulin resistance is a molecular phenomenon that leads to the development of atherogenic dyslipidemia, heart disease, and liver disease. Exercise can help to improve insulin resistance and reduce the risk of these conditions.
01:05:00 Dr. Gerald Shulman discusses the molecular mechanisms behind insulin resistance and how it can lead to various health problems. He explains that insulin resistance in muscle first leads to hyperinsulinemia, which is then followed by liver abnormalities. Finally, he discusses how muscle insulin resistance is similar to liver insulin resistance in terms of the progression.
01:10:00 In this talk, Gerald Shulman, MD, PhD, discusses how insulin resistance is caused by the accumulation of disglycerols, which activate a protein called Epsilon that directly inhibits the insulin receptor kinase. This inhibition leads to abnormalities in glucose metabolism, including the inhibition of gluconeogenesis. Finally, Shulman discusses how the conserved sequence of the insulin receptor kinase's catalytic domain is evidence that this key process has been conserved throughout evolution.
01:15:00 This video discusses how insulin resistance is a molecular mechanism that allows the body to survive during starvation, and how this process has been reversed in modern times due to overnutrition and metabolic disease.
01:20:00 Dr. Gerald Shulman discusses how insulin works in the liver and how hepatic insulin resistance can lead to an environment that is not favorable for the brain, leading to obesity and diabetes.
01:25:00 The video reviews the role of insulin in regulating gluconeogenesis. It discusses how beta oxidation leads to the production of acetyl-coa, which regulates pyruvate carboxylase and affects glucose uptake and storage. Insulin's effects on gluconeogenesis are mainly positive, promoting glucose uptake and storage as well as maintaining brain function during starvation.
01:30:00 In this video, Gerald Shulman, MD, PhD, discusses the role of insulin resistance in the development of fatty liver disease. He notes that, in humans, insulin resistance predominates over its direct effects on the liver when fasting, and that this model explains many of the controversies surrounding insulin action that have been described over the last decades. Shulman also describes how inflammation plays a critical role in the development of hyperglycemia in patients with fatty liver disease, and how acetyl-coa levels and pyruvate carboxylase activity are increased in response.
01:35:00 In insulin resistance, the process of gluconeogenesis (the production of glucose from non-food sources) is central. This is what drives hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes, and it is also what is driving the accumulation of adipose tissue in insulin resistant individuals. The lipolysis (the breakdown of fat) in peripheral adipocytes is impaired, leading to the accumulation of adipoceles (fatty lumps). This process is mediated by the same mechanism as in liver and muscle, which is the diaglycerol epsilon pathway.
01:40:00 The author discusses the role of insulin resistance and acetyl-coa in the development of diabetes and liver disease. He highlights the importance of diet and exercise in reversing these conditions, and points out that there is currently no effective treatment for liver transplant in the United States due to the high number of people who develop cirrhosis due to obesity and diabetes.
01:45:00 Insulin resistance is a problem with the liver that can be caused by a variety of factors, including obesity, genetics, and diet. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists lower energy intake and weight loss, and may also improve liver function and reduce the risk of diabetes and liver fibrosis.
01:50:00 Gerald Shulman, MD, PhD, discusses the molecular mechanisms and clinical implications of insulin resistance. He notes that uncoupling by definition leads to heat production, and that by targeting the liver, dinitrophenol has no effect on body temperature or whole body weight. He suggests that dinitrophenol may be a promising approach to treating obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic diseases.
01:55:00 Gerald Shulman, MD, PhD, discusses insulin resistance and the mechanisms by which metformin affects glucose levels and gluconeogenesis. He emphasizes that metformin's primary effect is through inhibition of gluconeogenesis, not through inhibition of glycogenolysis or gut biome. Clinical studies have found that the more poorly controlled a person's diabetes is, the greater the effect of metformin on glucose levels and gluconeogenesis.
