Presently, obesity is one of the major health problems in the developed as well as developing countries due to lack of physical work and increasing sedentary life style. Endocannabinoid system (ECS) and especially cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptor play a key role in energy homeostasis. Food intake and
Amylin (the islet amyloid polypeptide) is a hormone related to adiposity, hunger and satiety. It is co-secreted with insulin from pancreatic B-cells. An amperometric immunosensor is presented here for the determination of amylin. It is making use of a screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE)
Protein-bound pyrroles are a sign of oxidative damage. Here we report a specific method for detecting pyrrole-containing proteins using biotin-labeled Ehrlich's reagent (ER-B). After treatment of either human serum or isolated human serum proteins with various oxidizing agents, damaged,
BACKGROUND
Cordyceps species which is well-known as 'winter worm summer grass' has long been used as tonics and stimulants to enhance energy, exhibiting a potential for energy metabolism. Clinical trials have suggested their beneficial effect on lipid metabolic disorders such as
OBJECTIVE
Metabolomics may unravel global metabolic changes in response to environmental exposures and identify important biological pathways involved in the pathophysiology of childhood obesity. Phthalate has been considered an obesogen and contributing to overweight and obesity in children. The
Treatment with pyrrole condensate of obese diabetic mice, characterized by metabolic disturbances resembling diabetes mellitus in man, has resulted in the alleviation of classical diabetic symptoms, such as hyperglycemia, glycosuria, and low levels of liver glycogen.
Melanin is a common pigment in animals. In humans, melanin is produced in melanocytes, in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, in the inner ear, and in the central nervous system. Previously, we noted that human adipose tissue expresses several melanogenesis-related genes. In the current study,
