Insulin Resistance in Morbid Obesity: Reversal With Intramyocellular Fat Depletion
Aldo V. Greco,G. Mingrone,Annalisa Giancaterini,Melania Manco,Manrico Morroni,Saverio Cinti,Marnie Granzotto,Roberto Vettor,Stefania Camastra,Ele Ferrannini +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that lipid deprivation selectively depletes intramyocellular lipid stores and induces a normal metabolic state (in terms of insulin-mediated whole-body glucose disposal, intracellular insulin signaling, and circulating leptin levels) despite a persistent excess of total body fat mass.

Evidence of Plasma CoQ10‐Lowering Effect by HMG‐CoA Reductase Inhibitors: A Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Study
Giovanni Ghirlanda,Alessandro Oradei,Andrea Manto,S. Lippa,L. Uccioli,Salvatore Caputo,Aldo V. Greco,G. P. Littarru +7 more
TL;DR: The data show that the treatment with HMG‐CoA reductase inhibitors lowers both total cholesterol and CoQ10 plasma levels in normal volunteers and in hypercholesterolemic patients.

Insulin clearance in obesity
TL;DR: The most important degradative system is insulin degrading enzyme which is a highly conserved metalloendopeptidase requiring Zn(++) for its proteolytic action as mentioned in this paper.

Presence and further development of retinal dysfunction after 3-year follow up in IDDM patients without angiographically documented vasculopathy
M. A. S. Di Leo,Salvatore Caputo,Benedetto Falsini,Vittorio Porciatti,Aldo V. Greco,Giovanni Ghirlanda +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the middle retinal layer is the most sensitive physiological locus of progressive diabetes-induced dysfunction in the absence of angiographically documented abnormalities.
Chronic taurine supplementation ameliorates oxidative stress and Na+ K+ ATPase impairment in the retina of diabetic rats.
M. A. S. Di Leo,Stefano Angelo Santini,S. Cercone,D. Lepore,N. Gentiloni Silveri,Salvatore Caputo,Aldo V. Greco,Bruno Giardina,Flavia Franconi,Giovanni Ghirlanda +9 more
TL;DR: Taurine supplementation ameliorates biochemical retinal abnormalities caused by diabetes, thereby suggesting that taurine may have a role in the prevention of retinal changes in diabetes.
