beta-cell function in obesity: effects of weight loss.
In nondiabetic subjects, obesity is associated with a modest expansion of beta-cell mass, possibly amounting-according to the best available estimates-to 10-30% for each 10 kg of weight excess. Whether age of onset and duration of obesity, recent changes in body weight, and body fat distribution have any effect on beta-cell mass in humans is unknown. Both fasting insulin secretion and the total...

Endothelial dysfunction, a pathologic feature of obesity, predicts the occurrence of cardiovascular disease (1,2), and is felt to mediate the increased cardiovascular risk associated with a number of classical and nonclassical risk factors.

15 صفحه اولEffects of weight loss and physical activity on skeletal muscle mitochondrial function in obesity.
The current study was undertaken to address responsiveness of skeletal muscle mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) activity to weight loss (WL) and exercise in overweight or obese, sedentary volunteers. Fourteen middle-aged participants (7 male/7 female) had assessments of mitochondrial ETC activity and mitochondrial (mt)DNA in vastus lateralis muscle, obtained by percutaneous biopsy, b...
متن کاملThe effects of weight loss on renal function in patients with severe obesity.
Severe obesity is associated with increased renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The aim of the present study was to examine whether weight loss may reverse glomerular dysfunction in obese subjects without overt renal disease. Renal glomerular function was studied in eight subjects with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] 48.0 +/- 2.4) before and after weight loss. Ni...
