Is serum retinol binding protein-4: A predictor for diabetes in genetically high risk population?
BACKGROUND Retinol binding protein-4 (BP-4) a new adipocytokine, specifically binds to retinol, through experimental studies, reported its link between obesity and insulin resistance (IR). But till date no studies are available on influence of genetic predisposition of diabetes on RBP-4 expression. Hence, we aimed to study the influence of genetic predisposition of diabetes on the serum RBP-4 a...
متن کاملSerum levels of retinol-binding protein 4 and risk of colon adenoma.
Obesity is now considered as a convincing and probable cause for colorectal neoplasia (World Cancer Research Fund 2011). Insulin resistance is a key mechanism relating obesity to colon carcinogenesis (Giovannucci 2001). Supporting evidence for this notion includes data from a number of epidemiological studies demonstrating the risk association of colon cancer and adenoma with insulin resistance...
متن کاملChanges of Serum Retinol Binding Protein 4 Levels Following 8 Weeks Moderate Aerobic Exercise
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 8 weeks moderate intensity aerobic exercise on serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) levels in female athletes. METHODS Twenty female karate athletics were randomly assigned to one of the exercise group (n = 10) or control group (n = 10). The training group performed endurance training 3 days a week for 8 weeks at an intensity c...
متن کاملEvidence That Kidney Function but Not Type 2 Diabetes Determines Retinol-Binding Protein 4 Serum Levels
OBJECTIVE It has been suggested that retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) links adiposity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. However, circulating RBP4 levels are also affected by kidney function. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test whether RBP4 serum levels are primarily associated with kidney function or type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS RBP4 serum concentration was de...
متن کاملSerum retinol-binding protein 4 levels are elevated in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
OBJECTIVE Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a recently identified adipokine that is elevated in the serum in several insulin-resistant states. We investigated the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and serum RBP4 in nondiabetic adults. METHODS One hundred and fifty-nine nondiabetic, non-alcoholic subjects (95 males and 64 females) participated in this study. Divi...
