Association of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in two fat compartments with increased risk of insulin resistance in obese individuals.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a widely utilized class of flame retardants in various commercial products, represent a prominent source of environmental contaminants. PBDEs tend to accumulate in adipose tissue, potentially altering the function of this endocrine organ and

New amide derivatives as melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 antagonists for the treatment of obesity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a recently discovered central nervous system (CNS) target for treating obesity. Two novel series of amide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated biologically as MCH-R1 (melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1) antagonists. The results showed that diphenyl

SEAWEED EXTRACTS AS A POTENTIAL TOOL FOR THE ATTENUATION OF OXIDATIVE DAMAGE IN OBESITY-RELATED PATHOLOGIES1.

Only registered users can translate articles

Recent studies suggest that seaweed extracts are a significant source of bioactive compounds comparable to the dietary phytochemicals such as onion and tea extracts. The exploration of natural antioxidants that attenuate oxidative damage is important for developing strategies to treat

Anti-obesity and antioxidative effects of purple sweet potato extract in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in vitro.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of the current study was to determine the anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory effects of an extract of purple sweet potatoes (PSPs) on 3T3-L1 adipocytes. For this purpose, differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with a PSP extract at concentrations of 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 μg/mL

Erythrocyte membrane fluidity and changes in plasma lipid composition: a possible relationship in childhood obesity.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have studied plasma lipid patterns and erythrocyte membrane fluidity in 60 obese children and 20 normal children. Plasma levels of total cholesterol and associated low-density lipoproteins were significantly increased in 20 obese patients with respect to controls. A significant decrease in

Expression of MicroRNA-448 and SIRT1 and Prognosis of Obese Type 2 Diabetic Mellitus Patients After Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE This study sought to investigate the expression and prognostic value of peripheral blood microRNA-448 (miR-448) and its target gene SIRT1 after laparoscopic bariatric surgery in obese type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients. METHODS Obese T2DM patients were selected and treated with

Obesity and persistent organic pollutants: possible obesogenic effect of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls.

Only registered users can translate articles

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are endocrine-disrupting chemicals associated with the development of the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. In humans, little is known about their role in the potential origin of obesity. This study aims to assess the associations between serum levels of

In utero and childhood polybrominated diphenyl ether exposures and body mass at age 7 years: the CHAMACOS study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are lipophilic flame retardants that bioaccumulate in humans. Child serum PBDE concentrations in California are among the highest worldwide. PBDEs may be associated with obesity by disrupting endocrine systems. OBJECTIVE In this study, we examined

Changes of erythrocyte membrane fluidity associated with childhood obesity: a molecular study using fluorescence spectroscopy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene has been used to investigate the physical state of erythrocyte membranes from 36 obese children in absence of endocrine and metabolic disorders involving alterations of blood lipid pattern. A decrease of membrane fluidity, as shown by an

Alteration of erythrocyte membrane lipid fluidity in human obesity.

Only registered users can translate articles

The lipophilic probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene was incorporated into erythrocyte ghosts of either normal or obese humans, and the polarization of fluorescence was measured between 0 and 40 C. The membrane lipid fluidity, evaluated by fluorescence polarization, was consistently higher in the

Dynamics of persistent organic pollutants in obese adolescents during weight loss.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have investigated the dynamics of various persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the serum of 94 obese adolescents (34 boys and 60 girls: age range 11-19years) before (0M) and after 5months (5M) of undergoing weight loss treatment. Six groups of POPs, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),

Dynamics of organohalogenated contaminants in human serum from obese individuals during one year of weight loss treatment.

Only registered users can translate articles

We investigated the dynamics of several organohalogenated contaminants (OHCs) and their metabolites in an obese population during weight loss. Serum samples from obese individuals were taken before patients lost weight and after three, six, and twelve months. Samples were also collected from a

Abnormal erythrocyte rheology in patients with morbid obesity.

Only registered users can translate articles

The objectives of this study were to investigate the rheological properties of the erythrocyte in patients with morbid obesity and to follow them up after a short-term weight loss. A fluorescent polarization method was used to assess erythrocyte membrane biorheology and to measure its fluidity.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers as endocrine disruptors of adipocyte metabolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Obesity is thought to result from poor diet and insufficient exercise. An additional factor may be endocrine-disrupting environmental chemicals that contaminate the air, water, and food supply. We tested the hypothesis that a class of lipid-soluble flame retardant chemicals known to

Anti-Obesity Effect of Extract from Nelumbo Nucifera L., Morus Alba L., and Raphanus Sativus Mixture in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes and C57BL/6J Obese Mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

The antioxidant and anti-adipogenic activities of a mixture of Nelumbo nucifera L., Morus alba L., and Raphanus sativus were investigated and their anti-obesity activities were established in vitro and in vivo. Among the 26 different mixtures of extraction solvent and
