The attention of scientists from many countries is focused on hormonal substances - adipokines at the present time. Lowering the level of the hormone adiponectin plays a central role in the development of obesity and cardiovascular disease in humans. The aim of the work is to determine Although alginate-poly-L-lysine (AP(L)) encapsulation of cells producing bioactive peptides has been widely tested, it is unknown whether AP(L) supports lasting catabolic functions of encapsulated cells in adipose tissue, which are required for obesity reduction. We tested functions of
The effects of cafeteria diet-induced obesity upon in vitro uptake of L-Alanine, Glycine, L-Lysine, L-Glutamine, L-Glutamic acid, L-Phenylalanine and L-Leucine by isolated rat erythrocytes have been studied. The total Phe and Leu uptakes followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The Glu uptake was fitted
The neuroendocrine effects of leptin on metabolism hold promise to be translated into a complementary therapy to traditional insulin therapy for diabetes and obesity. However, injections of leptin can provoke inflammation. We tested the effects of leptin, produced in the physiological adipocyte
D-Psicose, an epimer of D-fructose isomerized at C-3 position, is a rare ketohexose that is thought to be beneficial for obese people and diabetic patients as a noncaloric sweetener. In the present study, model Maillard reaction products were obtained from D-psicose (or D-fructose) and L-lysine
Alyteserin-2a (ILGKLLSTAAGLLSNL.NH2 ) stimulated the rate of insulin release from BRIN-BD11 clonalβ cells at a concentration of 30 nm (p < 0.05) with a response of 296 ± 26% of basal release at 3 μm (p < 0.001). The insulinotropic actions of analogs containing substitutions by l-lysine, d-lysine, or
A mentally retarded, 10-year-old female with obesity, hypotonia, clumsiness and mild ocular abnormalities excreted in her urine large amounts of alpha-aminoadipic acid. Amino acid analyser studies and gas-liquid chromatography--mass spectrometry (GC--MS) confirmed the presence of alpha-aminoadipic
Recent findings denote an important contribution of macrophage inflammatory pathways in causing obesity-related insulin resistance. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is activated in proinflammatory macrophages and modestly elevated in insulin-responsive tissues. Although the benefits of
Efforts in Finland to implement the recommended non-pharmacological and pharmacological principles for the control of hypertension, stroke and ischaemic heart disease have been accompanied by an approximately 10 mm Hg fall in the population average of diastolic blood pressure, and about 60% decrease
High postprandial blood glucose levels are associated with increased mortality, cardiovascular events and development of diabetes in the general population. Interventions targeting postprandial glucose have been shown to prevent both cardiovascular events and diabetes. This study evaluates the
Obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes, heart disease and other health problems. Adipose tissue plays a central role in the development of obesity and obesity-associated diseases. Gene therapy targeting adipose tissue may provide a promising strategy for obesity treatment. However, nucleic acid
OBJECTIVE
Aberrant expression of inflammatory molecules, such as inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS), has been linked to cancer, suggesting that their inhibition is a rational therapeutic approach. Whereas iNOS expression in melanoma and other cancers is associated with poor clinical
Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, whereas L-arginine (Arg) and L-homoarginine (hArg) serve as substrates for NO synthesis. ADMA and other methylated arginines are generally believed to exclusively derive from guanidine (N (G))-methylated
Hymenochirin-1b (Hym-1B; IKLSPETKDNLKKVLKGAIKGAIAVAKMV.NH2) is a cationic, α-helical amphibian host-defense peptide with antimicrobial, anticancer, and immunomodulatory properties. This study investigates the abilities of the peptide and nine analogues containing substitutions of Pro(5), Glu(6), and
What is the central question of this study? The metabolic pathways regulating the effects of obesity on the kidney remain unknown. We sought to determine whether inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is involved in the underlying mechanisms of high-fat diet-induced kidney disease using a specific
