Here, we report a key role of FAM210A in the systemic response to a high-fat diet (HFD). We discovered that an HFD suppressed FAM210A expression, associated with excessive OPA1 cleavage in BAT.

Although the route of insulin delivery is an important determinant of the mechanisms by which insulin regulates liver glucose metabolism (direct hepatic vs. indirect insulin action), it is not known whether insulin's delivery route affects the second-meal response. To determine whether morning peripheral insulin delivery (as occurs clinically, i.e., subcutaneously) can enhance afternoon HGU, conscious dogs were treated in the morning with insulin delivered either via the portal vein or peripherally (leg vein), while glucose was infused to maintain euglycemia. Consequently, arterial insulin levels increased similarly in both groups, but relative hepatic insulin deficiency occurred with peripheral insulin delivery. In the afternoon, all animals were challenged with the same hyperinsulinemic-hyperglycemic clamp to simulate identical postprandial-like conditions. The substantial enhancement of HGU in the afternoon caused by morning portal vein insulin delivery was lost when insulin was delivered peripherally.
