New research from the University of Eastern Finland sheds light on the mechanisms associating obesity with inflammation by exploring tiny membrane particles, known as extracellular vesicles, secreted ...
Adipocytes are metabolically active cells; they produce signalling lipids and metabolites and secrete protein factors (adipokines) The relative levels of these lipids, proteins and metabolites change ...
A plant extract altered muscle metabolism in guinea pigs, improving glucose-related processes. Green tea has long been valued for its medicinal and antioxidant qualities. It has been extensively ...
Fish oils (FOs) have anti-inflammatory effects and lower serum triglycerides. This study examined adipose and muscle inflammatory markers after treatment of humans with FOs and measured the effects of ...
We examined the effects of activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)α, PPARγ, and both of them in combination in obese diabetic KKAy mice and investigated the mechanisms by which ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The functional trafficking steps used by soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins have been difficult to establish because of ...
Diabetes has become a leading cause of morbidity and mortality and the prevention and management of diabetes is now a major global health concern. While recent studies link obesity with diabetes, ...
Adiponectin, together with adipocyte size, is the strongest factor associated with insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study investigates the causal relationship ...
A research team led by Dr. Martin Mollenhauer from the Heart Center at University Hospital Cologne has investigated the link between obesity and the risk of cardiovascular disease in greater detail.
