Specific inhibition of autoimmune T cell transmigration contributes to beta cell functionality and insulin synthesis in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Human diabetes mellitus (IDDM; type I diabetes) is a T cell-mediated disease that is closely modeled in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. The pathogenesis of IDDM involves the transmigration of autoimmune T cells into the pancreatic islets and the subsequent destruction of insulin-producing beta cells.

Visceral adipose tissue-derived serine proteinase inhibitor inhibits apoptosis of endothelial cells as a ligand for the cell-surface GRP78/voltage-dependent anion channel complex.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Visceral adipose tissue-derived serine proteinase inhibitor (vaspin) is an adipokine identified from visceral adipose tissues of genetically obese rats. OBJECTIVE The role of vaspin in the diabetic vascular complications remains elusive, and we investigated the effects of vaspin on the

Anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects of a standardized potato extract in ob/ob mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

The potato (Solanum tuberosum) has been cultivated globally for food for millenia. Potato contains proteinase inhibitor II, which catalyzes the release of cholecystokinin (CCK), leading to delayed gastric emptying in humans. The present study investigated the anti-obesity effects of Slendesta™

Identification of increased amounts of eppin protein complex components in sperm cells of diabetic and obese individuals by difference gel electrophoresis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus and obesity may compromise the fertility of men and women. To unveil disease-associated proteomic changes potentially affecting male fertility, the proteomes of sperm cells from type-1 diabetic, type-2 diabetic, non-diabetic obese and clinically healthy

Vaspin--a link of obesity and psoriasis?

Only registered users can translate articles

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease often associated with obesity. The anti-inflammatory adipokine vaspin, a suggested serine proteinase inhibitor of the serpin family, is discussed as a new link between inflammation and obesity. Here, we demonstrate that - different from healthy controls -

Processing of the lipid-mobilizing peptide beta-lipotropin in rabbit adipose tissue.

Only registered users can translate articles

beta-Lipotropin, a pituitary peptide, is a strong stimulator of lipolysis in rabbit adipose tissue. This polypeptide is shown to be degraded by intact fat pads, homogenized adipose tissue and adipocytes of the rabbit dependent on the amount of adipose tissue, time and the pH of the incubation

[Structure and properties of proprotein convertase inhibitors].

Only registered users can translate articles

This review is devoted to structure and properties of proprotein convertases (PCs), the intracellular Ca(2+)-dependent serine endoproteases of mammalia, that play the essential role in the processing of inactive protein precursors and their transforming into bioactive mature products. PCs are also

The role of hydrogen sulfide in the progression mechanisms of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and chronic kidney disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Introduction: The steady increase in the incidence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) on the background of obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in people of working age in Ukraine. The aim: To establish the role of hydrogen sulfide in the mechanisms of mutual burden and

The role of hydrogen sulfide in the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Only registered users can translate articles

The steady increase in the incidence of comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis against the background of obesity in people of working age in Ukraine and in the world stipulates the need of investigation of the mechanisms of

Concentration of leukocyte elastase in plasma and polymorphonuclear neutrophil extracts in type 2 diabetes.

Only registered users can translate articles

The concentration of leukocyte elastase/alpha1-proteinase inhibitor complexes in plasma and polymorphonuclear neutrophil extracts, and plasma trypsin inhibitory capacity were determined in 88 patients with type 2 diabetes and 47 control subjects. Higher values of these variables were found in

Trypsin inhibitor from tamarindus indica L. seeds reduces weight gain and food consumption and increases plasmatic cholecystokinin levels.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Seeds are excellent sources of proteinase inhibitors, some of which may have satietogenic and slimming actions. We evaluated the effect of a trypsin inhibitor from Tamarindus indica L. seeds on weight gain, food consumption and cholecystokinin levels in Wistar rats. METHODS A trypsin

Identification of genes specifically expressed in the accumulated visceral adipose tissue of OLETF rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

The Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima fatty (OLETF) rat is an animal model of type 2 diabetes, characterized by abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism of obesity and its related complications, we used representational

Alpha-1-antitrypsin for the improvement of autoimmunity and allograft rejection in beta cell transplantation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Islet transplantation offers hope for patients with type 1 diabetes, which is an autoimmune disease. However, islet transplant recipients must overcome two obstacles in both allograft rejection and autoimmune reaction. Alpha-1-antitrypsin (a1-proteinase inhibitor, AAT) possesses anti-inflammatory

The serum vaspin levels are reduced in Japanese chronic hemodialysis patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Visceral adipose tissue-derived serine proteinase inhibitor (vaspin) is an adipokine identified in genetically obese rats that correlates with insulin resistance and obesity in humans. Recently, we found that 7% of the Japanese population with the minor allele sequence (A) of rs77060950

Activation of proteinase 3 contributes to Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and insulin resistance.

Only registered users can translate articles

Activation of inflammatory pathways is known to accompany development of obesity-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In addition to caspase-1, the neutrophil serine proteases proteinase 3, neutrophil elastase and cathepsin G are able to process
