Insulin resistance directly correlates with increased saturated fatty acids in skeletal muscle triglycerides
Melania Manco,AV Greco,Esmeralda Capristo,Donatella Gniuli,A. De Gaetano,Giovanni Gasbarrini +5 more
TL;DR: Not only the MTG concentration but also the FFA pattern seems to affect insulin-mediated glucose uptake, and a pivotal role might be played by a high saturated fatty acid content in the TGs.

L-carnitine improves glucose disposal in type 2 diabetic patients
Geltrude Mingrone,AV Greco,Esmeralda Capristo,G Benedetti,A. Giancaterini,Andrea De Gaetano,Giovanni Gasbarrini +6 more
- 01 Jan 1999
TL;DR: L-carnitine constant infusion improves insulin sensitivity in insulin resistant diabetic patients; a significant effect on whole body insulin-mediated glucose uptake is also observed in normal subjects.

Influence of chronic alcohol abuse on body weight and energy metabolism: is excess ethanol consumption a risk factor for obesity or malnutrition?
Giovanni Addolorato,Esmeralda Capristo,AV Greco,Giuseppe Francesco Stefanini,Giovanni Gasbarrini +4 more

Triglyceride-induced diabetes associated with familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency.
Geltrude Mingrone,Finn L. Henriksen,AV Greco,L.N. Krogh,Esmeralda Capristo,Amalia Gastaldelli,Marco Castagneto,Eleuterio Ferrannini,Giovanni Gasbarrini,Henning Beck-Nielsen +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that insulin-resistant diabetes can be caused by extremely high levels of TGs, as measured during the oral glucose tolerance test on two sisters with extreme hypertriglyceridemia and overt diabetes, in whom surgical normalization of TG cured the diabetes.

Acetyl-l-carnitine infusion increases glucose disposal in type 2 diabetic patients
A. Giancaterini,A. De Gaetano,Geltrude Mingrone,Donatella Gniuli,Elisabetta Liverani,Esmeralda Capristo,AV Greco +6 more
TL;DR: The effect of ALC on glucose disposal has no relationship to the amount administered, and could be due to an effect of aLC on the enzymes involved in both the glycolytic and gluconeogenetic pathways, and a possible reversibility of glycogen synthase inhibition in diabetic subjects.
