Saturated Fatty Acids Promote Inflammatory Mediator Production
in plasma membrane
•Saturated fatty acids can also stimulate inflammatory mediator production
•Can stimulate NFkB
•
n-3 PUFAs Utilize a Unique Surface Receptor = GPR120
•Signalling via GPR120 - n-3 PUFA
•Activation of TAB1 which suppresses TBK1 and TAK1 downstream signalling and inflammatory
transcription factor activation (NFkB) and cytokine production (eg. TNFa, MCP-1) these
inflammatory mediators suppress insulin-mediated singling (eg, phosphorylation of IRS-1)
•Insulin signalling is complicated
