Abstract Over weight is one of the most important public health concerns and the most common fat metabolism disorder in humans the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of eight weeks of interval training and vitamin D intake on DPP4 and RBP4 plasma levels of overweight with mean age of 39.92±4.15 , height 159.25±3.8 cm weight 72.73 kg /m2 in this study , 40 subjects were selected pur...
متن کاملRetinol-Binding Protein 4 in Twins
OBJECTIVE Retinol-binding protein (RBP) 4 is an adipokine of which plasma levels are elevated in obesity and type 2 diabetes. The aims of the study were to identify determinants of plasma RBP4 and RBP4 mRNA expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and skeletal muscle and to investigate the association between RBP4 and in vivo measures of glucose metabolism. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS ...
متن کاملRetinol-binding protein 4 in human obesity.
Studies in mice suggest that adipocytes serve as glucose sensors and regulate systemic glucose metabolism through release of serum retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4). This model has not been validated in humans. RBP4 was highly expressed in isolated mature human adipocytes and secreted by differentiating human adipocytes. In contrast to the animal data, RBP4 mRNA was downregulated in subcutaneous...
متن کاملSteatosis and hepatitis C
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a common liver disease worldwide with a high rate of chronicity (75-80%) in infected individuals. The chronic form of HCV leads to steatosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellualr carcinoma. Steatosis is prevalent in HCV patients (55%) due to a combination of viral factors (effect of viral proteins on some of the intracellular pathways) and host factors (overweight, ...
متن کاملSteatosis in chronic hepatitis C: why does it really matter?
Hepatic steatosis is a common histological feature of chronic hepatitis C. Various factors are associated with hepatic steatosis, including obesity, high alcohol consumption, diabetes type II, and hyperlipidaemia. These factors may contribute to steatosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C. In humans, hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 3 is more commonly associated with steatosis. In vitro stud...
