Serum Visfatin Levels, Adiposity and Glucose Metabolism in Obese Adolescents
OBJECTIVE Visfatin, an adipokine, has insulin-mimetic effects. The main determinants of both the production and the physiologic role of visfatin are still unclear. The aim of this study is to determine the relation of serum visfatin to adiposity and glucose metabolism. METHODS 40 pubertal adolescents (20 females, 20 males; age range: 9-17 years) with exogenous obesity and 20 age- and sex-matc...
متن کاملSerum visfatin and omentin levels in slow coronary flow.
OBJECTIVE The adipocytokines visfatin and omentin have a direct effect on inflammation and endothelial injury. The expression of visfatin is closely associated with the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Omentin has an anti-inflammatory effect and is inversely associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). The slow coronary flow phenomenon is an angiographic finding characterized by delay...
متن کاملSerum visfatin levels in acromegaly: Correlation with disease activity and metabolic alterations.
OBJECTIVE The studies that have extensively evaluated the relation between adipokines and metabolic parameters in acromegaly treatment are quite discordant. We aimed to evaluate and correlate a set of selected adipokines, known to have a metabolic role, with the disease activity, metabolic status and treatment modalities. DESIGN Data of 56 consecutive acromegalic patients (31 M and 25 F; aged...
