Association between novel adipocytokines adiponectin, vaspin, visfatin, and thyroid: An experimental and clinical update
Adipose tissue secretes a variety of active biological substances, called adipocytokines, that act in an autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine manner. They have roles in appetite control, thermogenesis, and thyroid and reproductive functions. All these molecules may lead to local and generalized inflammation, mediating obesity-associated vascular disorders including hypertension, diabetes, athero...
متن کاملNew adipocytokines (vaspin, apelin, visfatin, adiponectin) levels in children treated with valproic acid.
AIM To investigate the relationship between the newly discovered adipocytokines and increasing body weight (paralleled by increased insulin resistance), and antiepileptic drug therapy with valproic acid (VPA). DESIGN AND METHODS 44 children with idiopathic, generalized epilepsy treated with valproic acid (VPA), and 40 control group children were included in this study. RESULTS Both the VPA-...
متن کاملPotential role of leptin, adiponectin and three novel adipokines--visfatin, chemerin and vaspin--in chronic hepatitis.
Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is generally a slowly progressive disease, but some factors associated with rapid progression have been identified. Steatosis, independently of its metabolic or viral origin, leads to liver injury and fibrosis. It is suggested that hepatitis C virus may contribute to a wide spectrum of metabolic disturbances-namely, steatosis, insulin resistance, increased prevalence o...
متن کاملAdipokines Vaspin and Visfatin in Obese Children
BACKGROUND Adipokines provides new insights about the physiology, pathology and treatment of obesity. AIM We investigated the association between serum vaspin and serum visfatin concentrations with obesity in Egyptian children. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty two obese children with body mass index (BMI) above 95th percentile; 11 males and 11 females were included in this study. Their mean age ...
متن کاملEvaluation of new adipocytokines and insulin resistance in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome.
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between four circulating adipocytokines (apelin, vaspin, visfatin, adiponectin) and markers of insulin sensitivity, in the context of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adolescents. SUBJECTS AND METHODS 48, obese, adolescent girls (mean age: 15.6±3.4 years, mean body mass index standard deviation score (BMI-SDS): 2.31±0.1), and 37...
