Low caloric diet (LCD) is used for weight loss. Paraoxonase 1 (PON-1) is associated with the antioxidant functions of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Among limited data on the relationships between obesity and PON-1, there has been no study on the effects of a stand-alone LCD on the physiological
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relationships between serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1), insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in childhood obesity.
METHODS
We studied 110 obese children and 36 non-obese children with a similar gender and age distribution. We measured serum PON1 activity against
C75, a known inhibitor of fatty acid synthase is postulated to cause significant weight loss through decreased hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) production. Peripherally, C75, an alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone, reduces adipose tissue and fatty liver, despite high levels of malonyl-CoA. To
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1beta (CPT-1beta) is a key regulator of the beta oxidation of long-chain fatty acids in skeletal muscle and therefore a potential therapeutic target for diseases associated with defects in lipid metabolism such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. C75
Fatty acid synthase (FAS or FASN) is a vital enzyme which catalyzes the de novo synthesis of long chain fatty acids. A number of studies have recently been reported that FAS was combined targets for the discovery of anti-obesity and anti-cancer drugs. Great interest has been developed
