Serum Adiponectin and Vaspin levels in Abdominal Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Abstract Objective: Adiponectin and vaspin are adipocyte-derived proteins and involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism and obesity related disorders. The mechanisms that adipokines might be linked to disturbance of glucose are unclear. Thus, this study investigated the levels of serum adiponectin and vaspin, blood lipid profiles, and abdominal obesity in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients...
متن کاملVNN1 Gene Expression Levels and the G-137T Polymorphism Are Associated with HDL-C Levels in Mexican Prepubertal Children
BACKGROUND VNN1 gene expression levels and the G-137T polymorphism have been associated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in Mexican American adults. We aim to evaluate the contribution of VNN1 gene expression and the G-137T variant to HDL-C levels and other metabolic traits in Mexican prepubertal children. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS VNN1 mRNA expression levels were...
متن کاملElevated interleukin-18 levels are associated with the metabolic syndrome independent of obesity and insulin resistance.
OBJECTIVE Activated innate immunity is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pleiotropic proinflammatory cytokine with important regulatory functions in the innate immune response. We sought to determine whether an elevated IL-18 concentration was a risk predictor for metabolic syndrome in a community population indepen...
متن کاملElevated nitric oxide metabolites are associated with obesity in women.
BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) plays a role in almost every biologic system including regulation of energy balance and food intake. This study aimed at determining association between serum nitric oxide metabolite (NOx) levels and obesity in a population-based study. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, NOx levels were measured in 3505 adult participants. Pregnant women and those with diabetes, ...
متن کاملDietary Patterns and Obesity Associated Factors in Primary School Children
Background and Objectives: To provide efficient recommendation for the prevention of childhood obesity and eating disorders, it is necessary to understand and explore their dietary patterns (DPs). The main aim of the current study was to explore dietary patterns among primary school aged children and determine the relationship between different dietary patterns and factors including anthr...
