A novel adipokine CTRP1 stimulates aldosterone production.
Complement-C1q TNF-related protein 1 (CTRP1), a member of the CTRP superfamily, is expressed at high levels in adipose tissues of obese Zucker diabetic fatty (fa/fa) rats, and CTRP1 expression is induced by proinflammatory cytokines, including TNF-alpha and IL-1beta. In the present study, we investigated stimulation of aldosterone production by CTRP1, since it was observed that CTRP1 was specif...
متن کاملLeucine Rich α-2 Glycoprotein: A Novel Neutrophil Granule Protein and Modulator of Myelopoiesis
Leucine-rich α2 glycoprotein (LRG1), a serum protein produced by hepatocytes, has been implicated in angiogenesis and tumor promotion. Our laboratory previously reported the expression of LRG1 in murine myeloid cell lines undergoing neutrophilic granulocyte differentiation. However, the presence of LRG1 in primary human neutrophils and a role for LRG1 in regulation of hematopoiesis have not bee...
متن کاملC1qTNF-related protein 1 improve insulin resistance by reducing phosphorylation of serine 1101 in insulin receptor substrate 1.
C1qTNF-related protein 1 (CTRP1) is independently associated with type 2 diabetes. However, the relationship between CTRP1 and insulin resistance is still not established. This study aimed to explore the role of CTRP1 under the situation of insulin resistance in adipose tissue. Plasma CTRP1 level was investigated in type 2 diabetic subjects (n = 35) and non-diabetic subjects (n = 35). The relat...
متن کاملInterleukin 1-α: A Modulator of Melanocyte Homeostasis in Vitiligo
Background: Vitiligo is a hypomelanotic autoimmune skin disorder arising from a breakdown in immunological self-tolerance, which leads to aberrant immune responses against melanocytes leading to selective destruction of melanocytes. High levels of Interleukin 1(IL1) have been reported in various autoimmune disorders including vitiligo. The aim of present study was to explore the effect of IL1-α...
متن کاملRiboflavin Lowers Blood Pressure: A Review of a Novel Gene-nutrient Interaction
Hypertension, defined as a systolic/diastolic blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or greater, is estimated to carry a three-fold increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Evidence from genome-wide association studies has identified an association between blood pressure and the gene encoding the folate-metabolising enzyme, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). Recent meta-ana...
