Recent reports point out the importance of the complex GK-GKRP in controlling glucose and lipid homeostasis. Several GK mutations affect GKRP binding, resulting in permanent activation of the enzyme. We hypothesize that hepatic overexpression of a mutated form of GK, GK(A456V), described in a
BACKGROUND
Estrogen deficiency and increase in protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity may be a key mechanism in postmenopausal dyslipidemia-induced vascular dysfunction and dementia. Thus, the present study has been designed to investigate the effect of biochanin A (BCA, a phytoestrogen) and
Postprandial dyslipidemia is recognized as an important complication of insulin-resistant states, and recent evidence implicates intestinal lipoprotein overproduction as a causative factor. The mechanisms linking intestinal lipoprotein overproduction and aberrant insulin signaling in intestinal
Hypertension and dyslipidemia often occur as comorbidities, with both being strong risk factors for developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Abnormal liver function test could reflect a potential CVD risk even in patients with mild dyslipidemia. The aim of this study was to assess the compounding
Ursolic acid (UA) is a pentacyclic triterpenoid compound that naturally occurs in fruits, leaves and flowers of medicinal herbs. This study investigated the dose-response efficacy of UA (0.01 and 0.05%) on glucose metabolism, the polyol pathway and dyslipidemia in streptozotocin/nicotinamide-induced
Recently, there has been a growing interest in alternative therapies and in the therapeutic use of natural products for the treatment of diabetes. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of brown algae, Padina arborescens, in an animal model of type 2
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a widely confirmed target of the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatment. Herein, we reported a highly specific PTP1B inhibitor 2,2',3,3'-tetrabromo-4,4',5,5'-tetrahydroxydiphenylmethane (compound 1), which showed promising hypoglycemic activity in
OBJECTIVE
To detect specific morphological signs of hepatic lesion in patients with cholesterosis of the gall bladder and atherogenic dyslipidemia in the presence of steatohepatitis.
METHODS
Atherogenic dyslipidemia was detected in 150 patients with steatohepatitis. Ultrasound investigation
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to assess the long-term prognosis, efficacy, and safety of combination therapy using ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and bezafibrate (BF) for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) patients exhibiting dyslipidemia.
METHODS
We performed a prospective, randomized, controlled,
The adipocyte-derived hormone resistin has been proposed as a possible link between obesity and insulin resistance in murine models. Many recent studies have reported physiological roles for resistin in glucose homeostasis, one of which is enhancement of glucose production from the liver by
BACKGROUND
Protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)- 1B, encoded by the PTPN1 gene, negatively regulates insulin signaling by dephosphorylating the phosphotyrosine residues of the insulin receptor kinase activation segment. Several rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) have been linked to diseases
OBJECTIVE
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and related syndromes exhibit a deadly triad of dyslipoproteinemia, which leads to atherosclerosis, hyperglycemia, which causes microvascular disease, and hypertension. These features share a common, but unexplained, origin--namely, pathway-selective insulin
Mean blood levels of eight components of clinical chemistry and the proportion of participants with abnormal chemistry values were calculated for persons with six dyslipoproteinemias (DLPs) and compared with findings from normolipidemic participants in 10 defined North American Lipid Research
BACKGROUND
Dyslipidemia increases circulating levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and this may induce alveolar bone loss through toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and 4. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dyslipidemia on osteoclast differentiation associated with
OBJECTIVE
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is frequently associated with hypercholesterolemia and with an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Statins lower serum cholesterol levels and may thus improve the cardiovascular risk in PBC patients. The aim of our study was to prospectively
