Increased plasma levels of retinol‐binding protein 4 with visceral obesity is associated with cardiovascular risk factors
UNLABELLED Aims/Introduction: Visceral obesity has been suggested to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD); the role of adipokines in the risk for CVD is less clear. Aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between parameters of visceral obesity and index of CVD risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of healthy males (n = 116) a...
متن کاملPnm-4: Risk Factors Associated with Infertility
Background Infertility is the inability to conceive children after one year of unprotected intercourse. The estimated prevalence of infertility in Canada is 11.5-15.7%. Fertility problems affect approximately one in seven couples in the United Kingdom (UK). Infertility occurs in conditions in which the pregnancies end with recurrent miscarriages (ASR) or birth of a child with multiple congenita...
متن کاملAssociation of Serum Retinol Binding Protein 4 with Adiposity and Pubertal Development in Korean Children and Adolescents
Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) has been postulated to provide a new link between obesity and insulin resistance. We aimed to assess the relationship between serum RBP4 and insulin resistance by investigating serum RBP4 levels in children and adolescents according to degree of obesity and pubertal stage. A total of 103 (30 lean, 39 overweight, 34 obese) were evaluated for serum RBP4, adiponect...
متن کاملInsulin resistance in liver cirrhosis is not associated with circulating retinol-binding protein 4.
OBJECTIVE Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) has been identified as a novel adipokine mediating systemic insulin resistance, and elevated serum RBP4 indicates overt or impending insulin resistance in lean, obese, and type 2 diabetic subjects. As insulin resistance is present in nearly all patients with liver cirrhosis, we evaluated RBP4 in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). RESEARCH DES...
متن کاملRetinol-Binding Protein 4 Is Associated With Prediabetes in Adults From the General Population
OBJECTIVE We examined the association between retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), a novel adipokine, and prediabetes (isolated impaired fasting glucose [i-IFG], isolated impaired glucose tolerance [i-IGT], and combined IFG and IGT) in men and women aged 32-81 years. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The analysis was based on 2,614 participants without previously diagnosed diabetes and those with newl...
