Counteractive effects of omentin-1 against atherogenesis

Feeling Happy And Thinking About Food : 1 Counteractive Effects Of Mood And Memory On Food

Changes of serum omentin-1 levels and relationship between omentin-1 and insulin resistance in chronic hepatitis C patients.

OBJECTIVES Omentin-1 is a novel adipokine that has a pivotal role in modulating the insulin sensitivity, immunity and inflammation. The current study was conducted to evaluate the serum omentin-1 level in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients, with or without type 2 diabetes, and to investigate its correlation with liver function parameters and insulin resistance. METHODS Eighty subjects ...

Counteractive self-control.

We propose a self-control analysis of the role of availability in valuation. We explored the hypothesis that, when temptation becomes available, counteractive self-control processes render it less valuable. We found evidence for devaluation of available temptation among gym users before they choose to forgo an unhealthy snack rather than after they make their choice (Study 1), and among student...

background: it seems adipocytokines play an important role in breast cancer. omentin-1 is a novel discovered plasma adipocytokine produced mainly in visceral adipose tissue. the aim of present study was to estimate. circulating levels of omentin-1 in postmenopausal breast cancer patients as compare to healthy postmenopausal subjects. materials and methods: this study consisted of 30 postmenopau...

Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase-Independent Pleiotropic Effects of Pitavastatin Against Atherogenesis and Limb Ischemia in Mice

AIM Statins have a protective impact against cardiovascular diseases through not only lipid-lowering effects but also pleiotropic effects, including activation of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) system. We aimed to clarify the protective effects of a statin against atherogenesis and ischemia in eNOS－/－ mice. METHODS Study 1. eNOS－/－ Apolipoprotein E (ApoE)－/－ mice were treated wi...
