background: the correlation of metabolic syndrome and migraine headache was evaluated in some previous studies. however there is no study that compared the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the patients with and without migraine. control of coincidental factors such as metabolic syndrome reduces therapeutic resistance in migrainous patients. the aim of this study was to compare prevalence of ...

conclusions the mathematical meaning of the two insulin-related biomarkers examined was the same, and the odds ratios of the two biomarkers were almost the same after adjustments for other independent variables. objectives a one-year follow-up study was conducted to determine the ability of the insulin-related biomarkers to predict the risk of mets development. patients and methods a total of 2...

the worldwide prevalence of insulin resistant states such as the metabolic syndrome has grown rapidly over the past few decades. the metabolic syndrome is a constellation of common metabolic disorders that promote the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. studies in both human and animal models suggest that hepatic inflammation and insulin resistance are key initiating fact...

introduction: metabolic syndrome (mets) and impaired lung functions have been associated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease. the aim of this study was to investigate the pulmonary functions in patients with mets. methods: this cross-sectional study included 200 subjects with mets in the study group and 100 subjects without mets in the control group. participants were examined at ...

background: chemerin is and adipokine produced and secreted by adipose tissue and is associated with functions such as insulin resistance, inflammation, and blood pressure regulation. the purpose of the present study was the determination of serum chemerin level in an iranian population with metabolic syndrome and its comparison with healthy individuals. materials and methods: the study subject...

background: the frequency of sonographic report of liver fat infiltration in asymptomatic person is increasing. the aim of this study was evaluation of liver function and detection of frequency of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in asymptomatic persons with fatty liver in sonographic examinations. materials and methods: seventy six patients with fatty liver in sonographic examination ...

background: nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (nash) is part of a broad spectrum of nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases that can lead to cirrhosis. to date, there is no effective medical treatment for nash. we aim to compare the effect of aerobic exercise in conjunction with diet to diet alone on the improvement of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in patients with nash. materials and methods:...

retinol binding protein4 (rbp4) is a type of adipokine which transports vitamin a to serum. rbp4 could be a bridge between obesity and insulin resistance. this study aimed to investigate the effects of aerobic exercises on rbp4 serum's concentration and metabolic syndrome risk factors in obese women.twenty obese women with body max index 35.81±3.67kg/m2, fat percentage 43.98±4.02, and waist to ...
