http://www.obesity-news.com/abs02-01.htm Obesity-induced diabetes involves an accumulation of triglycerides within pancreatic beta-cells. This accumulation leads to apoptosis (cell death) of the islets by increasing ceramide formation and enhancing nitric oxide production. http://nutrition.ucdavis.edu/InfoSheets/fat.htm References: 7 Dube MG, et al., Central leptin gene therapy blocks high-fat diet-induced weight gain, hyperleptinemia, and hyperinsulinemia - Increase in serum ghrelin levels. Diabetes; 2002; 51(6); pp. 1729-36. So it appears that: 3. 1 & 2 is the correct answer. |
