BACKGROUND
African-Americans are more insulin-resistant than whites but have lower triglyceride (TG) concentrations. The metabolic basis for this is unknown. Our goal was to determine in a cross-sectional study the effect of insulin resistance, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and the apolipoproteins,
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of a combination of medium chain triglycerides (caprylic, capric, caproic and lauric acids), linoleic acid (essential fatty acid), vitamins A and E and soy lecithin, through a morphometric study, on the wound healing kinetics of experimental
The cytotoxic effect of hypertriglyceridemic (HTG) serum and triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TG-rich lipoprotein) lipolyzed in vitro by purified lipoprotein lipase on cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was studied. When confluent cultures of HUVECs (8.4 x 10(4)/cm2) were
OBJECTIVE
This study investigated the effect of bariatric surgery (BS)-induced weight loss on cardiac ectopic fat using 3T magnetic resonance imaging in morbid obesity.
BACKGROUND
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in obese patients. Deposition of cardiac ectopic
Although metabolic disturbances are often observed in obese patients, increased accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (AT) has been shown to be more closely associated with high fasting triglyceride (TG) and insulin levels as well as with low HDL cholesterol concentrations than with excess body
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the relationship between the changes in the body composition and the changes in the glycemic control as evaluated by glycemia and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and the lipid metabolism parameters in adults with type 2 diabetes.
METHODS
This was
BACKGROUND
Central obesity has been suggested as a risk factor for gastroesophageal reflux disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of visceral fat area and other lifestyle factors with reflux esophagitis or Barrett's esophagus in Japanese population.
METHODS
Individuals who
OBJECTIVE
The aim of our study was to compare the effects of a vegetarian and a conventional diet on thigh adipose tissue distribution in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
METHODS
Seventy-four subjects with T2D were randomly assigned to either follow a vegetarian diet (V, n = 37) or a control
The parents of an 18-year-old woman had noticed white hair while combing their daughter's hair 12 years ago. They found tiny white spots on her scalp, but she was asymptomatic. The spots have since progressed. Examination of the affected skin on the scalp was marked by the presence of a chalky/ivory
OBJECTIVE
This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between blood components and carcass traits, and to find the biomarkers related to meat quality and quantity in Hanwoo steers.
METHODS
One hundred twenty-six Hanwoo steers (8 to 9 months of age, body weight of 185.6±24.38 kg) were
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to develop a simple method for estimating visceral fat area (VFA) using medical examination data.
METHODS
The study subjects were 100 males who had undergone medical examinations and computed tomography (CT) at the umbilicus level. Multiple regression analysis was
Accumulation of visceral adipose tissue is associated with metabolic complications such as noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of abdominal adipose tissue on insulin sensitivity in subjects with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
BACKGROUND
In order to define the diagnostic criteria for visceral adipose tissue (VAT) accumulation and abdominal obesity in Japanese youths, a cross-sectional, multicenter study was conducted.
METHODS
Subjects were 194 boys and 96 girls ranging in age from 6 to 15 years. Obese youths were
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and hepatic triglyceride content (HTGC) are major risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases.We aimed to investigate the association of dietary intake of the main food groups with VAT and HTGC in middle-aged men and Tin protoporphyrin (SnPP) and analogs are being studied as possible agents for the prevention of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia through inhibition of heme oxygenase. Because SnPP is a photosensitizer, we studied its role in the photogeneration of carbon monoxide (CO) from organic compounds in vitro.
