Glucocorticoid receptors in human preadipocytes: regional and gender differences.
Glucocorticoid excess causes visceral obesity and its accompanying insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension. Glucocorticoids enhance preadipocyte (PA) differentiation and increase their aromatase activity (oestrogen production) and there is regional variability in these PA processes. Therefore, we studied human PAs for the presence of, and any regional or gender differences in, glucoco...
متن کاملAndrogen receptors in human preadipocytes and adipocytes: regional specificities and regulation by sex steroids.
Various clinical and epidemiological evidence strongly suggests a major role for sex steroid hormones in the determination of anatomical specificities of fat distribution in human. To date, no studies have examined the possible presence of androgen receptors (AR) in human adipocytes and preadipocytes. We have studied AR in preadipocytes from various anatomical locations (intra-abdominal and sub...
متن کاملRegional differences in triacylglycerol synthesis in adipose tissue and in cultured preadipocytes.
The initial suspicion that obesity increases coronary risk has been much sharpened with the demonstration that risk is more tightly linked to abdominal than to peripheral obesity, and tighter yet again when the mass of omental adipose tissue is taken into account. These data suggest that important metabolic differences might exist between adipocytes from different regions, and indeed, it has lo...
متن کاملGender and regional differences in self-rated health in Europe∗
This paper shows that gender and regional differences in self-rated health in Europe are partly explained by differences in the prevalence of the various conditions. However, a nonnegligible part of these differences is due to other causes, which may include differences in reporting own health. We employ the tool of “anchoring vignettes” to understand whether and how women and men living in dif...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid receptors in human malignancies: a review.
The present knowledge of the human glucocorticoid receptor (hGCR) in primary malignancies is reviewed. It is concluded that hGCR is present in a large number of these tissues; in all tissue specimens of lymphoid malignancies and in varying fractions of the different solid tumors. The hGCR functions as a hormone dependent, specific enhancer interacting protein in mediating the considerable effec...
