BACKGROUND
Visceral adiposity has been linked to higher rates of cardiometabolic risk than other types of adiposity. Waist circumference (WC) is the best anthropomorphic surrogate of visceral adiposity. Reductions in central adiposity may decrease cardiovascular risk. Animal studies have
OBJECTIVE
The aim of present study was to determine effects of L-Arginine supplementation on antioxidant status and body composition in obese patients with prediabetes.
METHODS
A double-blind randomized control trial was performed on 46 (24 men, 22 women) obese patients with prediabetes. They were
We investigated the effects of captopril (Cap) and L-arginine (Arg) on hypertension and cardiopulmonary function. Our hypothesis was that Cap therapy or Arg will improve cardiopulmonary risk factors for hypertension and hypoventilation in the obese spontaneously hypertensive heart failure rat, which
OBJECTIVE
l-Arginine (l-arg) supplementation and resistance exercise can induce changes in inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines; however, it has not been investigated in obese hypertensive men. This study examines the effects of short-term l-arg supplementation and acute resistance exercise
We investigated the effects of NG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NO Arg) administration (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg i.p.) on food consumption and body weight of male obese Zucker rats (fa/fa) and in their lean age-matched controls (FA/?; FA/FA), both groups aged 14 weeks. Acute or repeated administration of L-NO
Increasing the intake of satiety-enhancing food compounds represents a promising strategy for maintaining a healthy body weight. Recently, satiating effects for the capsaicinoid nonivamide have been demonstrated. As various proteins and amino acids have also been demonstrated to Obesity related hypertension is a major risk factor for resistant hypertension. We do not completely understand the mechanism(s) underlying the development of obesity related hypertension which hinders the development of novel treatment strategies for this condition. Data from experimental studies
We investigated the role of insulin and glucose in the pathophysiology of hypertension associated with obesity. The comparative effects of an oral glucose load and of an L-arginine infusion on plasma glucose, plasma insulin and blood pressures (BP) were assessed in lean normotensive and in obese
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the l-arginine/NO system and its role in insulin signaling and endothelial function during the pregnancy of women of different BMI categories.
METHODS
Twelve women with BMI⩾25 were compared with 10 normal-weight women in a fasting condition after the infusion of l-arginine (20g
OBJECTIVE
Hypertension is a major clinical complication of obesity. Our previous studies show that abnormal uptake of the nitric oxide precursor L-arginine, via the cationic amino acid transporter-1 (CAT1), contributes to endothelial dysfunction in cardiovascular disease. In this study, we tested
BACKGROUND
Identifying new ways to decrease adiposity will be very valuable for health. The aim of this study was to find out whether L-Arginine (Arg) and selenium alone or together can increase the effect of hypocaloric diet enriched in legumes (HDEL) on anthropometric measures in healthy obese
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between subclinical inflammation and weight loss by laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB).
METHODS
Plasma concentrations of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), sensitive
BACKGROUND
Mechanisms underlying vascular abnormalities in obesity remain to be completely clarified.
OBJECTIVE
L-arginine/nitric oxide pathway was evaluated on vascular response of high-fat diet-obese rats, focusing on endothelial and smooth muscle cells.
METHODS
30-day-old rats were divided in two
This study was conducted to investigate whether or not a food substitute (Dr. BAANs(R)) containing three bioactive components L-arginine, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, and ribonucleic acid, supplied orally to 15 overweight patients, may have efficacy to prevent or improve the metabolic
l-Arginine is an important dietary amino acid in both health and disease, especially of the cardiovascular system. This study has determined whether dietary supplementation with l-arginine attenuates cardiovascular, metabolic, pancreatic and liver changes in a rat model of the human metabolic
