CIRCULATING SERUM NITRITE/NITRATE LEVELS ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MENSTRUAL CYCLE IN NORMAL FEMALE SUBJECTS

Intramyocellular lipid levels are associated with peripheral, but not hepatic, insulin sensitivity in normal healthy subjects.

Increased levels of IMCL (intramyocellular lipid) have been shown to be associated with reduced steady-state glucose infusion rates during a hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp (M-value). The aim of the present study was to explore how IMCL levels relate to the insulin-mediated suppression of endogenous glucose production [hepatic SI (insulin sensitivity)] and increase in glucose disposal (peri...

IL-25 and IL-33 Serum Levels are not Associated with the Type of Allergen Causing Allergic Rhinitis

Background: Fungal aeroallergens might sensitize the airway which in turn produces a specific cytokine profile. Objective: To evaluate the IL-25 and IL-33 profile in patients with fungal allergic rhinitis. Methods: The present study examined patients who were evaluated due to allergic rhinitis (AR) at Emam Reza Hospital of Shiraz, Iran. The all...

Serum pattern of circulating adipokines throughout the physiological menstrual cycle.

This study investigated the serum levels of resistin, adiponectin and leptin during the physiological menstrual cycle. Sixteen women (age: 19-30 years; body mass index: 19.46-24.9) with regular menstrual cycles participated. Fasting blood samples were collected on alternate days throughout a full menstrual cycle. Mean resistin concentrations were slightly higher during the luteal phase (5.30+/-...

Serum calcium levels are not associated with coronary heart disease

BACKGROUND Numerous studies have reported that low calcium intake is related to a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between serum calcium and coronary heart disease is unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare serum calcium levels in patients with coronary heart disease and those in healthy individuals. METHODS This retrospective, case-control stud...
