The implication of adiponectin and resistin in gastrointestinal diseases
(2011)Adiponectin and resistin, members of the adipokine family, are multi-task hormones involved in several disorders, including those of the alimentary tract. In the present review, eligible studies focusing on the role of ... -
Increased soluble E-selectin levels in type 2 diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease
(2004)Aim. Abnormal endothelial function is well known in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus; and thought to induce macroangiopathy. Increased levels of adhesion molecules have been found in type 2 diabetic patients and it ... -
Leptin in human reproduction
(1999)The recent discovery of the obese (ob) gene has provided new insight into the mechanism which controls body fat mass. Leptin, a product of the ob gene, serves as the link between fat and the brain. This protein, by acting ... -
Leptin, Adiponectin, and Ghrelin Levels in Female Patients with Asthma during Stable and Exacerbation Periods
(2013)Objective. The mechanisms underlying the relationship between obesity and asthma have not been fully established. Data in the literature suggest that adipose tissue-derived hormones may be implicated. However, no definite ... -
Longitudinal preventive-screening cutoffs for metabolic syndrome in adolescents
(2008)Objective: To detect metabolic risk factor cutoff points in adolescence for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome that develops at the age of 17 years (MS17). Design: This study adopted a 6-year design incorporating four ... -
Metformin reduces the expression of corticotropin-releasing hormone and urocortin in the endometrium of healthy women
(2013)Objective: To investigate the effect of metformin administration on the expression of endometrial corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) and urocortin (UCN) in the midluteal phase of the cycle. Design: Experimental study, ... -
Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) and Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA) Index in Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients with Chronic Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure: A Pilot Study
(2015)The effects of Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV) on Insulin Resistance (IR) in stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients have not been fully explored. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of NIV ... -
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome promotes reversal albuminuria during sleep
(2011)Sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) may induce albuminuria during sleep which could reflect one of the possible pathogenetic mechanisms regarding cardiovascular risk. We studied 224 patients with newly diagnosed OSAS, free of any ... -
Polycystic ovaries and obesity
(2015)Almost 50% of the women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are obese. Obesity in PCOS affects reproduction via various mechanisms. Hyperandrogenism, increased luteinizing hormone (LH) and insulin resistance play a pivotal ... -
Resveratrol enhances exercise training responses in rats selectively bred for high running performance
(2013)High Capacity Runner (HCR) rats have been developed by divergent artificial selection for treadmill endurance running capacity to explore an aerobic biology-disease connection. The beneficial effects of resveratrol ... -
The role of nuclear cardiac imaging in redefining neurogenic stunned myocardium in subarachnoid hemorrhage: a deeper look into the heart
(2014)Subarachnoid hemorrhage may be complicated by neurogenic stunned myocardium, a catecholamine-induced transient cardiomyopathy that displays a wide clinical spectrum of cardiac abnormalities, including electrocardiographic ... -
The role of obesity in the immune response during sepsis
(2014)BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Sepsis is one of the most important causes of mortality in the developed world, where almost two-thirds of the population suffer from obesity. Therefore, the coexistence of both conditions has become ... -
A single bout of downhill running transiently increases HOMA-IR without altering adipokine response in healthy adult women
(2013)Eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage may cause marked alterations in insulin sensitivity. However, it is not entirely known whether such alterations are also related to changes in adipokine levels. The aim of this study ...
