background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) causes an increased risk of metabolic cardiovascular syndrome. also, cystatin c serum levels are associated with the risk of cardiovascular events in metabolic syndrome patients. objective: to investigate the relationship between cystatin c in pcos patients. materials and methods: 35 women with pcos were compared to 35 women with healthy matched age ...

Galanin has diverse physiological functions, including nociception, arousal/sleep regulation, congnition, and many aspects of neuroendocrine activities that are associated with feeding, energy metabolism, thermoregulation, osmotic and water balance, and reproduction. In an attempt to clarify the metabolic profile of circulating galanin in blood, we examined plasma galanin concentration in patie...

Background: Metabolic syndrome is an asymptomatic disorder and an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle modification and self-management of health-promoting behaviors are the most important actions in control of metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of self-management interventions based on cognitive behavioral group Ther...

Background: With the increased survival rates following the treatment of childhood cancer, it becomes equally important that the need for evidence based surveillance of long term effects of cancer therapy is addressed. This includes the risk of development of metabolic syndrome features like obesity, altered lipid and sugar profile, which was attempted in the present study. Materials and Metho...

Information regarding metabolic profile in different physiological periods of ewes can assist veterinarians to monitor the herd health and productive performance. Furthermore, the relationships among the metabolic parameters can be used to detect the effect of each parameter on another one. Five clinically healthy adult Ghezel ewes were selected at 4 weeks before parturition and evaluated at 4 ...

BACKGROUND Subjects born small (SGA) and large (LGA) for gestational age have an increased risk of cardio-metabolic alterations already during prepuberty. Nevertheless, the progression of their cardio-metabolic profile from childhood to adolescence has not been fully explored. Our aim was to assess potential changes in the cardio-metabolic profile from childhood to adolescence in subjects born ...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the changes in biochemical and nutritional profiles of Japanese-Brazilians with and without metabolic syndrome after two years of participation in the intervention program. MATERIALS AND METHODS It was a non-controlled experimental study. The biochemical and clinical assessments were conducted at baseline (2005), after a year (2006) and after two years (2007) of interve...

OBJECTIVES Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Associations between metabolic syndrome and several types of cancer have recently been documented. METHODS We analyzed the sample cohort data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service from 2002, with a follow-up period extending to 2013. The cohort data included 99 565 i...
