Relationship between Cystatin C, Retinol-binding Protein 4 and Framingham Risk Score in Healthy Postmenopausal Women.
BACKGROUND We aimed to examine the relationship between high levels of cystatin C, retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and cardiovascular risk score [determined by Framingham Risk Score (FRS)] in postmenopausal women. METHODS A total of apparently healthy 129 postmenopausal women (mean age 57.1 ± 4.6 years) were included. Serum cystatin C, RBP4, glucose, lipid parameters, creatinine, uric acid a...
متن کاملRetinol-binding protein-4 in women with untreated essential hypertension.
BACKGROUND Retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) is a novel adipokine able to modulate the action of insulin in several tissues. A variable degree of insulin resistance characterizes the vast majority of hypertensive (HYP) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between RBP4 and essential hypertension, exploring potential links between RBP4 and other adipokines with some pro...
متن کاملSerum Retinol-Binding Protein 4 as a Marker for Cardiovascular Disease in Women
BACKGROUND Elevated serum level of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) has been associated with obesity-related co-morbidities including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension. OBJECTIVES The present study examined the relationship between serum level of RBP4 and various risk factors related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in men and women. METHODS 284 subjects (139 males, 145 femal...
متن کاملRetinol-Binding Protein 4 in Twins
OBJECTIVE Retinol-binding protein (RBP) 4 is an adipokine of which plasma levels are elevated in obesity and type 2 diabetes. The aims of the study were to identify determinants of plasma RBP4 and RBP4 mRNA expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and skeletal muscle and to investigate the association between RBP4 and in vivo measures of glucose metabolism. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS ...
متن کاملRetinol-binding protein 4 in human obesity.
Studies in mice suggest that adipocytes serve as glucose sensors and regulate systemic glucose metabolism through release of serum retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4). This model has not been validated in humans. RBP4 was highly expressed in isolated mature human adipocytes and secreted by differentiating human adipocytes. In contrast to the animal data, RBP4 mRNA was downregulated in subcutaneous...
