Compared with PD group, multiple variation parameters, such as intraday glycemic standard deviation (P<0.001), covariant efficiency (P=0.009) and mean of daily difference (P=0.043), were significantly lower in DMPD group.

IRS/PI3K/Akt/Glut signaling pathway was evaluated using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000Compared with PA group, glucose uptake and consumption increased gradually with the increasing of vaspin concentration in other groups (P<0.05). mRNA levels of IRS-1, Akt and Glut 4 increased gradually as vaspin concentration increasing (P<0.05), and the ratios of p-IRS-1 to IRS-1, p-Akt to Akt and Glut 4 protein level also showed the same trends (P<0.05). However, glucose uptake and consumption in PA+ 400 ng/ml vaspin+ wortmannin group were less than that of PA+ 400 ng/ml vaspin group (P<0.05). PA+ 400 ng/ml vaspin+ wortmannin group showed lower mRNA and protein phosphorylation levels of IRS-1, Akt and Glut 4 (P<0.05), and that the ratios of p-IRS-1 to IRS-1, p-Akt to Akt and Glut 4 protein levels decreased (P<0.05). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions \u0000Vaspin can improve the insulin sensitivity of 3T3-L1 adipocyte by activating IRS/PI3K/Akt/Glut signaling pathway. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Vaspin; Insulin resistance; 3T3-L1 adipocyte; IRS/PI3K/Akt/Glut","PeriodicalId":9877,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition","volume":"26 1","pages":"228-234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41791797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
