- METABOLIC SYNDROME: -Adipose tissue lipolysis is upregulated in lean and obese men during acute resistance exercise
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of acute resistance exercise on adipose tissue triacylglycerol lipase activity (TGLA) in lean and obese men. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Nine lean and eight obese ...
- VASCULAR MEDICINE AND METABOLIC SYNDROME: -Assessment of aortic pulse wave velocity and cardiac diastolic function in subjects with and without the metabolic syndrome
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of lipid and glucose metabolism in the metabolic syndrome on aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and left ventricular (LV) diastolic function using magnetic resonance ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: -Tumor necrosis factor- antagonism improves vasodilation during hyperinsulinemia in metabolic syndrome
OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation due to overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-. We assessed the effects of TNF- neutralization ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: -Adipokines and incident type 2 diabetes in an aboriginal canadian population
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate associations of adiponectin, leptin, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6, and serum amyloid A (SAA), individually or in combinations, with ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: Global coronary heart disease risk assessment of individuals with the metabolic syndrome in the U.S.
OBJECTIVE Although metabolic syndrome is related to an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) events, individuals with metabolic syndrome encompass a wide range of CHD risk levels. This study ...
- HEPATIC FIBROSIS: -Genesis of hepatic fibrosis and its biochemical markers
Abstract Liver fibrosis is characterized by an abnormal hepatic accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) that results from both increased deposition and reduced degradation of collagen fibres. ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: -Rethinking daily exercise: Less regular, high-intensity intervals may be best bet for metabolic syndrome
Results of a small pilot trial showing that people with metabolic syndrome might benefit from an exercise regimen that includes aerobic interval training have now been published1. According to the ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: - Insulin-like effects of naringenin on inhibition of apolipoprotein B secretion from HepG2 cells occur via MAPK/ERK signaling and are independent of insulin receptor activation
Hepatic overproduction of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins is characteristic of the dyslipidemia associated with insulin resistance. Recently, we demonstrated that the flavonoid, ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: - Waist circumference and mortality
The authors examined the association between waist circumference and mortality among 154,776 men and 90,757 women aged 51–72 years at baseline (1996–1997) in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: - Microcirculatory dysfunction in cardiac syndrome X: role of abnormal blood rheology
Abstract & Objective: Cardiac syndrome X (CSX) is of clinical interest, yet the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. It is well known that elevated blood ...
- OBESITY & METABOLIC SYNDROME: - Macrophages regulate tumor necrosis factor- expression in adipocytes through the secretion of matrix metalloproteinase-3
Objective: Adipocytes accumulated in the visceral area change their function to induce tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) secretion with concomitant matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 induction in ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME & LIPIDS: - Overproduction of very low–density lipoproteins is the hallmark of the dyslipidemia in the metabolic syndrome
Objectives We tested the hypothesis that the antithrombotic and cytoprotective effects of recombinant human activated protein C (rhAPC) protect baboons against the lethal effects of heatstroke. ...
- CLINICAL INERTIA & MENTAL CONFUSION IN RESEARCHES?: Metabolic syndrome: Another nail in the coffin?
Glasgow, Scotland - A new analysis of two prospective studies has found that the metabolic syndrome is not associated with cardiovascular risk in the elderly1. And although it was associated with ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME? TG-interacting factor is required for the differentiation of preadipocytes
The accumulation of visceral adipose tissue is closely associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Therefore, it is important to identify genes that are required for adipocyte ...
- METABOLIC SYNDROME: - Distinct component profiles and high risk among african americans with metabolic syndrome
OBJECTIVE: - Health of African Americans is seriously threatened by unremitting epidemics of diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the role of metabolic syndrome in the ...
