Plasma obestatin levels in normal weight, obese and anorectic women.
Obestatin is a recently discovered peptide produced in the stomach, which was originally described to suppress food intake and decrease body weight in experimental animals. We investigated fasting plasma obestatin levels in normal weight, obese and anorectic women and associations of plasma obestatin levels with anthropometric and hormonal parameters. Hormonal (obestatin, ghrelin, leptin, insul...
متن کاملCirculating Ghrelin Levels and Obestatin/Ghrelin Ratio as a Marker of Activity in Ulcerative Colitis
BACKGROUND/AIMS Ghrelin levels are known to increase in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), but serum obestatin levels in UC patients are not well elucidated. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between serum ghrelin and obestatin levels and disease activity in UC patients. METHODS The serum ghrelin and obestatin levels were measured in 21 UC patients (12 with active dise...
متن کاملEffects of Combined Training on the Levels of Obestatin, Ghrelin, and Insulin Resistance in Overweight Women
Background: The present quasi-experimental and field research was conducted to evaluate the effect of combined exercises on the levels of obestatin and ghrelin in overweight women. Methods: The study subjects consisted of 34 overweight women with a Mean±SD age of 30.29±4.66 years, a Mean±SD height of 165.11±5.56 cm, a Mean±SD weight of 74.64±7.33 kg, a Mean±SD body mass index of 27.35±1.74 kg/...
متن کاملCirculating visfatin level and visfatin/insulin ratio in obese women with metabolic syndrome
INTRODUCTION Visfatin is an adipokine secreted by visceral adipose tissue with insulin-mimetic properties. Higher circulating visfatin levels were reported in type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to analyse circulating visfatin and insulin levels and the visfatin/insulin ratio in obese women with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS). MATERIAL AND METHODS The study involved 92 obese wom...
متن کاملAssociation between the circulating leptin levels and the biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation among Iranian overweight and obese adults
Background: Oxidative stress in obese people is an important pathogenic mechanism of an obesity-associated metabolic syndrome. We evaluated the association between circulating leptin levels with biomarkers of oxidative stress in overweight and obese participants. Methods: This study was performed on 189 overweight and obese people aged 18-60 years old. Serum leptin, superoxide dis...
