Beraprost sodium, a stable prostacyclin analogue, improves insulin resistance in high-fat diet-induced obese mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity induces hypertrophy of adipocyte resulting in production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1 (CCL2)). These cytokines play an important role in the development of insulin resistance. Beraprost sodium (BPS), a

A Bartter-like syndrome after jejunoileal bypass for obesity.

Only registered users can translate articles

A case of an adult woman with a Bartter-like syndrome after jejunoileal bypass for obesity is described. Diarrhoea, hypokalaemia, high plasma renin activity, hyperaldosteronism, alkalosis, increased urinary prostaglandin E and hyperplasia of the juxtaglomerular apparatus with low or normal blood

Obesity increases prostanoid-mediated vasoconstriction and vascular thromboxane receptor gene expression.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Vasoconstrictor prostanoids have been implicated in abnormal vasomotion in atherosclerosis and hypertension. METHODS Using lean and diet-induced obese mice, we investigated whether obesity affects vascular function or expression of genes involved in prostanoid action. RESULTS In lean

The ω6-fatty acid, arachidonic acid, regulates the conversion of white to brite adipocyte through a prostaglandin/calcium mediated pathway.

OBJECTIVE Brite adipocytes are inducible energy-dissipating cells expressing UCP1 which appear within white adipose tissue of healthy adult individuals. Recruitment of these cells represents a potential strategy to fight obesity and associated diseases. RESULTS Using human Multipotent

Possible mechanisms involved in the vasorelaxant effect produced by clobenzorex in aortic segments of rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Clobenzorex is a metabolic precursor of amphetamine indicated for the treatment of obesity. Amphetamines have been involved with cardiovascular side effects such as hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypertension. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the direct application of

Medicine or Surgery (Ms): a randomized clinical trial comparing hysterectomy and medical treatment in premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hysterectomy may be overused as treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding due to benign causes in reproductive women. Medical therapies are an alternative, and there is a need for randomized trials comparing the outcomes of these approaches. Women of reproductive age who continued to have bothersome

Modulation of vasomotion in resistance arteries of JCR:LA-cp rats: a model of insulin resistance.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity and insulin resistance are strongly associated with an increased risk of vascular disease. Vasomotion is the cyclic variation in the diameter of arteries and is a general feature of the vasculature that may have important physiological consequences. We tested the hypothesis that obesity -

Novel quercetin-3-O-glucoside eicosapentaenoic acid ester ameliorates inflammation and hyperlipidemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Quercetin, a major flavonol, present abundantly in apples and onions, is widely studied for ameliorating metabolic syndrome abnormalities. However, quercetin is mainly present in plant food in the form of quercetin glycosides and has been reported for poor gastrointestinal absorption. The present

Activation of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma promotes brown adipocyte differentiation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) functions in non-shivering and diet-induced thermogenesis via its capacity for uncoupled mitochondrial respiration. BAT dysfunction in rodents is associated with severe defects in energy homeostasis, resulting in obesity and hyperglycemia. Here, we report that the nuclear

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) as a new therapeutic approach for type 2-diabetes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a physiological incretin hormone in normal humans explaining in part the augmented insulin response after oral versus intravenous glucose administration. In addition, GLP-1 also lowers glucagon concentrations, slows gastric emptying, stimulates (pro)insulin
