Serum 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 and insulin resistance in preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia is characterized by the onset of high blood pressure and proteinuria during pregnancy, which results in substantial maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Insulin resistance has been observed before the onset of preeclampsia, and is implicated in its pathophysiology. Recently, retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), which carries retinol in circulation, has been shown to be a pot...
متن کاملCOMPARISON OF THE EFFECTS OF EIGHT WEEKS OF RESISTANCE TRAINING WITH AND WITHOUT SAFFRON EXTRACT, BARBERRY ON SERUM LEVEL 4 OF RETINOL BINDING PROTEIN, AND INSULIN RESISTANCE IN OBESE MICE WITH HIGH-FAT DIET
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of eight weeks of resistance training with and without the use of aqueous extracts of barberry and saffron on serum levels of RBP4, glucose, insulin and insulin resistance in obese mice. Methods: In this study, 80 mice with a mean weight of 41± 2 g were exposed to high fat diet for 10 weeks. Then, they were randomly assigned to 8 ...
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 کاملGhrelin- and GH-induced insulin resistance: no association with retinol-binding protein-4
OBJECTIVE Supraphysiological levels of ghrelin and GH induce insulin resistance. Serum levels of retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4) correlate inversely with insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes. We aimed to determine whether ghrelin and GH affect RBP4 levels in human subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS To study GH-independent effects of ghrelin, seven hypopituitary men undergoing re...
