Abstract Calcinosis cutis is an uncommon disorder identified by the deposition of calcium in skin and subcutaneous tissue. Idiopathic variety calcinosis one with no underlying damage at tissue level or absence systemic derangement phosphorus metabolism. Here, we report a case 65-year-old female diagnosed idiopathic hip after her levels were found to be normal connective could identified.

OBJECTIVE Patients who have a greater distribution of intraabdominal adipose tissue as compared with subcutaneous adipose tissue and an increased ratio of intraabdominal adipose tissue to subcutaneous adipose tissue are at greater risk for developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In previous MR investigations, researchers have used conventional T1-weighted spin-echo image...

The total nitrogen and L-hydroxyproline concentrations of two intra-abdominal and two subcutaneous sites of adipose tissue were measured in male and female Wistar rats. At 100 g body weight the nitrogen concentration of intra-abdominal adipose tissue was slightly lower than that of subcutaneous adipose tissue. As age advanced beyond sexual maturity, the nitrogen content of intra-abdominal adipo...

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and leptin concentrations were determined in the abdominal subcutaneous and visceral (omental) adipose tissue of patients undergoing elective open-abdominal surgery and compared with their body mass index. The concentration of leptin did not differ significantly between women and men, being high in subcutaneous fat tissue and low in visceral fat tissue. TN...

Obesity increases preeclampsia risk, and maternal dyslipidemia may result from exaggerated adipocyte lipolysis. We compared adipocyte function in preeclampsia with healthy pregnancy to establish whether there is increased lipolysis. Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue biopsies were collected at caesarean section from healthy (n=31) and preeclampsia (n=13) mothers. Lipolysis in response to ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Cytosolic glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (cGPDH) is a key enzyme providing glycerol 3-phosphate for triacylglycerol synthesis in adipose tissue and is regarded as a marker for adipocyte differentiation. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that an increase in cGPDH gene expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue is associated with obesity. METHODS mRNA levels in...

Leptin is secreted from the edipose tissue and has an important role in the regulation of energy metabolism. This study aimed to compare serum leptin levels of preterm and full-term infants during the first three months of their life and to define the roles of sex, weight, thickness of subcutaneous adipose tissue, gestational age and maternal leptin in the determination of serum leptin levels. ...

Introduction: Cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction, is associated with progressive ventricular dysfunction and cardiovascular death. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of endurance exercise training on morphological changes in rat heart tissue following experimental myocardial infarction. Materials and methods: Rats used in this experiment (8-10 weeks old, 235 &p...

A reduced protein diet (RPD) is known to increase the level of intramuscular lipid in pig meat with a smaller effect on the amount of subcutaneous adipose tissue. This might be due to tissue-specific activation of the expression of lipogenic enzymes by the RPD. The present study investigated the effect of a RPD, containing palm kernel oil, soyabean oil or palm oil on the activity and expression...

generalized lipodystrophy is a rare disorder in children characterized by absence of subcutaneous adipose tissue. we evaluated 10 patients with generalized lipodystrophy by skin and liver biopsy. eight patients with steatohepatitis and cirrhosis were treated with ursobile (uorsodeoxycholic acid) and vitamin e. in follow-up, serum triglyceride level was decreased.
