Chinese Medicine for Diabetes.
Obesity, the abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat within the body, has become a global epidemic secondary to high caloric food intake and a sedentary lifestyle. Under physiological conditions, excessive free fatty acid (FFA) is converted to triglycerides or cholesterol esters and stored in lipid droplets inside adipocytes. The initial deposition of triglycerides occurs in subcutaneous adipose tissue, and as the deposition increases in size, insulin resistance rises and limits further subcutaneous lipid accumulation. Triglycerides are then diverted to the visceral fat depot as well as to nonadipose tissue. The latter is also known as ectopic lipid accumulation and may be associated with insulin resistance and β cell dysfunction. In the skeletal muscle and liver, fat deposition is related to the development of insulin resistance. In the pancreatic islets, FFA and triglycerides accumulation induce β cell functional impairment and lipoapoptosis. Therefore, ectopic lipid accumulation is often associated with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
