Increased plasma vaspin concentration in patients with sepsis: an exploratory examination
INTRODUCTION Vaspin (visceral adipose tissue-derived serpin) was first described as an insulin-sensitizing adipose tissue hormone. Recently its anti-inflammatory function has been demonstrated. Since no appropriate data is available yet, we sought to investigate the plasma concentrations of vaspin in sepsis. MATERIALS AND METHODS 57 patients in intensive care, fulfilling the ACCP/SCCM criteri...
متن کاملIncreased plasma zonulin in patients with sepsis
INTRODUCTION Zonulin is a eukaryotic protein structurally similar to Vibrio cholerae's zonula occludens toxin. It plays an important role in the opening of small intestine tight junctions. The loss of gut wall integrity during sepsis might be pivotal and has been described in various experimental as well as human studies. Increased levels of zonulin could be demonstrated in diseases associated ...
متن کاملIncreased plasma donepezil concentration improves cognitive function in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies: An exploratory pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis in a phase 3 randomized controlled trial
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether increasing plasma donepezil concentration further improves cognitive function and neuropsychiatric symptoms without compromising safety in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). METHODS We analyzed data from a 12-week phase 3 trial of donepezil (5 and 10mg/day) in patients with DLB. The contribution of factors affecting plasma donepezil concentration w...
متن کاملIncreased FGF21 plasma levels in humans with sepsis and SIRS
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a key regulator in glucose and lipid metabolism and its plasma levels have been shown to be increased not only in humans in different situations such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease but also in animal models of sepsis and pancreatitis. FGF21 is considered as a pharmacological candidate in conditions associated with insulin...
متن کاملSerum vaspin concentration in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and macrovascular complications
BACKGROUND Adipose tissue, an endocrine organ of the body, is involved in some obesity-related disease states such as insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, and atherosclerosis. Vaspin is a novel adipocyte with insulin sensitizing effects. In this study, we planned to estimate serum vaspin concentrations as related to glycemic status and the presence of macrovascular complications among elderly...
