BACKGROUND
Few studies have examined the differential effects of weight management by exercise mode on subclinical atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that 3 modes of aerobic, resistance, and combination exercises have differential effects on the flow-mediated dilation (FMD), carotid-femoral pulse wave
Obesity is considered to be a chronic inflammatory state in which the dysfunction of adipose tissue plays a central role. The adipokines, which are cytokines secreted by adipose tissue, are key links between obesity and related diseases such as metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis. LCN2 and
BACKGROUND
Our aim was to analyze the relationship between abdominal obesity and general obesity, with subclinical atherosclerosis, arterial stiffness and wave reflection in healthy, diabetics and hypertensive subjects.
METHODS
A cross-sectional descriptive study was made of 305 individuals
To investigate the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and cardiovascular risk factors and increased risk of atherosclerosis in obese children. The study included 80 consecutive obese children who were stratified into group 1 [ultrasonographically diagnosed with NAFLD (n = 50)] and
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an imprecise, inappropriate monitor of atherosclerosis severity and by inapplicable extrapolation CHD risk factors are incorrectly assumed to be causes of atherosclerosis. Taking into account (1) the misuse and substantial diagnostic error of CHD, (2) errors in
Insulin resistance is linked to general and abdominal obesity, but its relation to hepatic lipid content and pericardial adipose tissue is less clear. The purpose of this study was to examine cross-sectional associations of liver attenuation, pericardial adipose tissue, BMI, and waist circumference
CONCLUSIONS
OBJECTIVE
We assessed how thyroid hormones affect the visceral obesity and atherosclerosis in euthyroid, overweight and obese Asian subjects.
METHODS
Metabolic parameters and thyroid hormone levels were measured in 177 subjects who visited obesity clinic at Gangnam Severance Hospital.
BACKGROUND
We previously reported the arterial elasticity value we measured to reflect the characteristic features of vessel walls, and to possibly be useful for detecting early stage atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes. Obesity, especially visceral adiposity, is well known to play a crucial role in
Dietary cholesterol in infancy may alter cholesterol metabolism and the propensity to develop atherosclerosis. This study examined the effects of a 1% cholesterol diet (HC) vs. a no-cholesterol diet (NC) during the first 2 mo of life on pigs selectively bred for leanness or obesity. Three lean and
Childhood obesity seems to contribute to the development of vascular inflammation and the progression of arterial wall changes. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has recently emerged as a useful biomarker for vascular inflammation associated with atherosclerosis. The objectives of this
BACKGROUND
Homocysteine, fibrinogen and antibodies to oxidised LDL were shown to be important markers of atherosclerosis in adults.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the levels of these three risk factors in prepubertal obese children.
METHODS
Fasting homocysteine, fibrinogen and antibodies to oxidised LDL,
Arterial stiffness (AS) and obesity are recognized as important risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between AS and obesity. AS was defined as high augmentation index (AIx) and low C1 and C2 in participants enrolled in the
OBJECTIVE
This review deals with the question whether resistance to obesity affects resistance to atherosclerosis.
RESULTS
Resistance to diet-induced obesity in inbred mouse strains involves an adequate response to Leptin, the main regulator of the energy balance cycle. Leptin, an adipokine with
Obesity and atherosclerosis are inflammatory states involving variable metabolic signals. The adipokine resistin is implicated in adipose tissue dysfunction and is modulated by PPARγ. In this study, resistin and PPARγ role is investigated in the development of CVS disease. Forty-eight Adult male
Evidence shows that novel adiposity and atherosclerotic index perform better than individual lipids or traditional cardiometabolic risks in predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD). Identifying mathematic indexes both adiposity and atherogenic indexes can serve as a quick and simple tool for
