resveratrol/obesity

BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with low-grade inflammation, which may harmfully affect bone. Resveratrol (RSV) possesses anti-inflammatory properties, and rodent studies suggest bone protective effects. OBJECTIVE This study sought to evaluate effects of RSV treatment on bone in

We compared the effects of resveratrol and rosiglitazone, alone and in combination, on indices of fatty acid re-esterification in cultured adipose tissue from obese participants (n = 17) undergoing gastric bypass. Rosiglitazone induced PDK4 and PEPCK gene expression to a greater extent than

Resveratrol (3,4,5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene), a phytoalexin found in grape skin, grape products, and peanuts as well as red wine, has been reported to have various biological and pharmacological properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-obesity effect of

Aim of the study: Obesity leads to mild, chronic inflammation which is a primary risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA). Resveratrol exerts a protective effect on OA through its anti-inflammatory properties, but the precise mechanism remains unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the

Obesity is the most prevalent disease in the world which poses a serious risk for various chronic diseases. However, currently there are not any therapeutic agents that reduce body weight without causing serious side effects. In order to prevent and/or treat obesity and related diseases through a

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine whether resveratrol might represent a promising therapeutic tool with which to combat adipose tissue chronic inflammation in a model of genetic obesity and to link its anti-inflammatory activity with its effect on body fat reduction. METHODS Twenty

Chronic inflammation plays an important role in the development of diabetic nephropathy. Advanced glycation end product receptor (RAGE), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 4 (NOX4) are involved in the development of inflammation.

Melinjo (Gnetum gnemon L.) seed extracts (MSEs) are rich in resveratrol dimers (gnemonoside A, C, D, gnetin C), trans-resveratrol, and other resveratrol derivatives. trans-Resveratrol is a widely studied caloric restriction mimetic. In mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD), trans-resveratrol protects

BACKGROUND Loss of hepatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression is a cause for the increased perioperative risk for complications and death in patients with obesity and fatty liver undergoing liver resection. Herein, we set out to identify agents that might increase EGFR expression and

CONCLUSIONS Obesity, characterized by excess adipose tissue is now becoming a worldwide epidemic. Various studies have suggested that obesity per se is an independent cardiovascular risk factor, as well as predisposing to type 2 diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia. Furthermore, obesity induces

Obesity-associated podocyte injury increases in parallel with inflammatory responses. Resveratrol, as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidative agent, has been proven to be effective in obesity. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the function of resveratrol in the early stages of

Obesity is a pandemic problem worldwide. Dietary polyphenolic compounds show promise in preventing obesity. Resveratrol (RSV), one of the most extensively studied polyphenol compounds, has been shown to exert anti-obesity effects in various animal studies and also in several human studies. The

Diabetes-induced CVD is the most significant complication of prolonged hyperglycaemia. The aim of this study was to determine whether resveratrol, a polyphenol antioxidant compound, when administered at a dose that can be reasonably obtained through supplementation could prevent the development of

Obesity is a complex, chronic disease that arises according to the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. The expansion and growth of white adipose tissue (WAT) could be related to angiogenesis. Resveratrol and adrenomedullin (AdM) were used for the inhibition of angiogenesis in

Maternal obesity during pregnancy is a now a public health burden that may be the culprit underlying the ever-increasing rates of adult obesity worldwide. Understanding the association between maternal obesity and adult offspring's obesity would inform policy and practice regarding offspring health
