- NEUROBIOLOGY & ADIPONECTIN: -AND RISK FACTOR TO ALZHEIMER & DEMENTIA IN WOMEN: -Study finds another potential risk factor for developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease in women
CHICAGO -- A hormone derived from visceral fat called adiponectin may play a role as a risk factor for development of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer disease (AD) in women, according to a study ...
- IMMUNITY & BROWN FAT: -Immunity against the cold and brown fat
Throughout the interior spaces of humans and other warm-blooded creatures is a special type of tissue known as brown fat, which may hold the secret to diets and weight-loss programs of the future. ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: -Metabolic syndrome biomarkers predict lung function impairment after exposure to WTC dust
Metabolic syndrome biomarkers predict subsequent decline in lung function after particulate exposure, according to new research involving rescue personnel exposed to World Trade Center (WTC) dust. ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME:-Increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Korea
OBJECTIVE The number of people with metabolic syndrome is increasing worldwide, and changes in socioenvironmental factors contribute to this increase. Therefore, investigation of changes ...
- INSULIN RESISTANCE: -The L-4F mimetic peptide prevents insulin resistance through increased levels of HO-1, pAMPK, and pAKT in obese mice*,1
We examined mechanisms by which L-4F reduces obesity and diabetes in obese (ob) diabetic mice. We hypothesized that L-4F reduces adiposity via increased pAMPK, pAKT, HO-1, and increased insulin ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME IN HIV: -Relationship between neck circumference and cardiometabolic parameters in HIV-infected and non–HIV-infected adults
OBJECTIVE Upper body fat is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk. More recently, neck circumference (NC) and/or neck fat have been associated with hyperlipidemia, impaired ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: -Empirical derivation to improve the definition of the metabolic syndrome in the evaluation of cardiovascular disease risk
OBJECTIVE To examine whether a quantitatively derived metabolic syndrome definition predicts incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) events better than do existing definitions. RESEARCH ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: -Maternal glucose concentration during pregnancy predicts fat and lean mass of prepubertal offspring
OBJECTIVE Intrauterine exposure to high maternal glucose is associated with excess weight gain during childhood, but it is not clear whether the excess weight represents increased fat or lean ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: -Diagnosis of the metabolic syndrome is associated with disproportionately high levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in non–hispanic black adolescents
OBJECTIVE Whereas it is known that the metabolic syndrome (MetS) has a paradoxically lower prevalence in non–Hispanic black adolescents than in non–Hispanic whites or Hispanics, ...
- FULLTEXT: -HYPERGLYCEMIA AND METABOLIC SYNDROME IN JAPON: -Visceral fat accumulation is associated with circadian blood pressure in japanese patients with impaired glucose tolerance
A central pattern of body fat distribution is generally considered to play an important role in the metabolic syndrome, which involves insulin resistance and hypertension (1). The patients of ...
