Contribution of de novo fatty acid synthesis to hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance: lessons from genetically engineered mice.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. NAFLD represents a large spectrum of diseases ranging from (i) fatty liver (hepatic… Expand

Transient increase in obese gene expression after food intake or insulin administration
OBESITY is a disorder of energy balance, indicating a chronic disequilibrium between energy intake and expenditure1. Recently, the mouse ob gene2, and subsequently its human and rat homologues2á¤-6,… Expand

Hepatic Glucokinase Is Required for the Synergistic Action of ChREBP and SREBP-1c on Glycolytic and Lipogenic Gene Expression*
Hepatic glucokinase (GK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate (G6P), a step which is essential for glucose metabolism in liver as well as for the induction of glycolytic… Expand

ChREBP, a transcriptional regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism.
Dysregulations in hepatic lipid synthesis are often associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and therefore a perfect understanding of the regulation of this metabolic pathway appears essential to… Expand

Carbohydrate responsive element binding protein (ChREBP) and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c): two key regulators of glucose metabolism and lipid synthesis in liver.
In mammals, the regulation of hepatic metabolism plays a key role in whole body energy balance, since the liver is the major site of carbohydrate metabolism (glycolysis and glycogen synthesis) and… Expand

Liver-Specific Inhibition of ChREBP Improves Hepatic Steatosis and Insulin Resistance in ob/ob Mice
Obesity is a metabolic disorder often associated with type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and hepatic steatosis. Leptin-deficient (ob/ob) mice are a well-characterized mouse model of obesity in… Expand

Control of gene expression by fatty acids.
The last decade provided evidence that major (glucose, fatty acids, amino acids) or minor (iron, vitamin, etc.) dietary constituents regulated gene expression in an hormonal-independent manner. This… Expand

Polyunsaturated fatty acids suppress glycolytic and lipogenic genes through the inhibition of ChREBP nuclear protein translocation.
Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are potent inhibitors of hepatic glycolysis and lipogenesis. Recently, carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein (ChREBP) was implicated in the… Expand

The lipogenic transcription factor ChREBP dissociates hepatic steatosis from insulin resistance in mice and humans.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with all features of the metabolic syndrome. Although deposition of excess triglycerides within liver cells, a hallmark… Expand
