Obesity, a condition where excess body fat accumulates to the extent, causes a negative effect on health. Previously, we reported the extract of Dolichos lablab L. (DLL-Ex) inhibited high-fat diet (HFD)-induced increases in body weight and body fat mass and ameliorated increases in body weight. In
Adipogenesis is the process of differentiation of immature mesenchymal stem cells into adipocytes. Elucidation of the mechanisms that regulate adipocyte differentiation is key for the development of novel therapies for the control of obesity and related comorbidities. Cytosolic group IVA
Hepatic fat deposition with hepatocellular damage, a feature of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is mediated by several putative factors including prostaglandins. In the present study, we examined whether group IVA phospholipase A(2) (IVA-PLA(2)), which catalyzes the first step in prostanoid
The Ivanovas-Sieve (IVA-SIV) rat represents the only available animal model of endogenous hypertriglyceridemia, in the absence of obesity and/or overt diabetes. Since plasma lipids/lipoproteins can modulate platelet reactivity and eicosanoid metabolism, these were examined in two groups of Charles
Chronic metabolic inflammation in adipose tissue plays an important role in the development of obesity-associated diseases. Our previous study indicated that total saponins of Panax japonicus (SPJ) rhizoma and Chikusetsu saponin V, one main component of SPJ, could exert the anti-oxidative and
Objective: Although obesity is a risk factor for heart failure, studies analyzing the effect of obesity on heart functions have primarily examined the left side of the heart. This study is an analysis of the effect of the severity of
OBJECTIVE
In our study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of weight loss on left and right ventricular functions in obese patients.
METHODS
Thirty patients with a BMI greater than 30 kg/m(2) and without any exclusion criteria were included in the study. Left ventricular systolic and diastolic
OBJECTIVE
Obesity is one of the most common diseases in the world. Particularly in elderly subjects, the effects of weight loss on cardiac functions have not been previously investigated by means of pulsed wave tissue doppler imaging (PWTDI). Using PWTDI, we examined the effects of weight loss on
OBJECTIVE
To assess whether obesity is an independent predictor of mortality in women with cervical cancer.
METHODS
This retrospective cohort study of patients with stages IB1-IVA cervical cancer treated with curative intent at MD Anderson Cancer Center from 1980 through 2007 categorized these women
Male Sprague-Dawley IVA-SIV rats were compared to male Sprague-Dawley Charles River rats of the same age, body weight, and daily food intake. The IVA-SIV rats demonstrated hypertriglyceridemia (182 +/- 9.4 v 131 +/- 9.4 mg/dL, P less than 0.001), associated with increased fasting plasma glucose (115
BACKGROUND
Opioids are commonly used after bariatric surgery for pain control because of their potent analgesic effects. Nevertheless, the morbidly obese patient has increased risk for developing adverse effects produced by opioids (such as sedation, apnea, hypoxemia, ileus, and vomiting).
OBJECTIVE
Preservation of the hip joint function by treatment of the avascular necrosis of the femoral head in adults or at least avoiding progression.
METHODS
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head in adults in Steinberg stages I-III. In patients with Steinberg stage IVa (subchondral collapse ≤ 15%
BACKGROUND
This study was undertaken to review prognostic factors for advanced squamous cell cancer of the cervix.
METHODS
A clinicopathologic review of patients diagnosed with advanced stage squamous cell cancer of the cervix was performed at the University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor,
UNASSIGNED
To identify clinical and dosimetric factors associated with the development of hematologic toxicity (HT) for cervical cancer (CC) treated with chemotherapy and 3D conformal radiotherapy.
UNASSIGNED
Chemoradiotherapy is the standard of care management for CC patients with IB2-IVA clinical
BACKGROUND
Detailed nutritional intake data on children with organic acidaemias (OA) (propionic acidaemia (PA), vitamin B12 nonresponsive methylmalonic acidaemia (MMA) and isovaleric acidaemia (IVA)) remains unreported. Aim and subjects: A review of the longitudinal nutritional intake of 14 children
