Assessment of Serum Cystatin C Levels in Women with Breast Cancer Compared to the Control Group
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in Iranian women, detected in 70% of cases when the disease has reached an advanced stage. The discovery of new diagnostic biomarkers is essential for the early detection of the disease. Cystatin C is a member of the cystatin family and a non-glycosylated, cysteine protease inhibitor that is also used as a functional marker of the ...
متن کاملSerum Adiponectin in Women with Gestational Diabetes
Background &Objective: Adiponectin is an adipose tissue adipokin that may contribute to obesity and insulin resistantance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between serum concentrations of adiponectin and insulin resistance in gestational diabetes (GDM).Materials & Methods: Serum adiponectin levels, fasting blood sugar (FBS), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), insulin levels and ...
متن کاملLeptin, Adiponectin, and Obesity among Caucasian and Asian Women
Ethnic differences in adipose tissue distribution may contribute to different chronic disease risks across ethnic groups, and adipokines may mediate the risk. In a cross-sectional study, we examined ethnic differences in adipokines and inflammatory markers as related to body mass index (BMI) among 183 premenopausal women with Caucasian and Asian ancestry. General linear models were used to esti...
متن کاملLow serum levels of high-molecular weight adiponectin in Indo-Asian women during pregnancy: evidence of ethnic variation in adiponectin isoform distribution.
Indo-Asian ethnicity is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) that is not reconciled by conventional risk factors (1,2). In a recent study (3), we found that pregnant Indo-Asian women exhibited strikingly low serum levels of adiponectin, a protein with putative insulinsensitizing and antiatherogenic activity. Hypoadiponectinemia has since been dem...
متن کاملElevated Adiponectin Serum Levels in Women with Systemic Autoimmune Diseases
Adipose tissue produces a wide range of proteins that may influence the immune system. In this study, we assessed the serum levels of leptin, adiponectin, and ghrelin, in association with the measurements of body composition, in 15 female patients with various autoimmune diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus, primary Sjögren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, mixed connective tissue disease, vasculitis,...
