Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractK121Q Polymorphism of the ENPP1 Gene is Related to Acute Coronary Syndrome in Ukrainian Patients with Normal but not Enhanced Body Mass IndexInna A. Rozumenko, Victoria Y. Garbusova, Yurij A. Ataman et al.Ectonucleotide Pyrophosphatase Phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) is a class II membrane glycoprotein with two unrelated properties: It can hydrolyze extracellular nucleotides and downregulate insulin receptor signaling. The present study was carried out to investigate whether common single-nucleotide polymorphism K121Q (rs1044498) of the ENPP1 gene is associated with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in the representatives of Ukrainian population and to assess if … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 15 Jan 2015 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANTIOBESITY EFFECTS OF HUMAN SOLUBLE LEPTIN IN MICE NOURISHED WITH A HIGH-FAT/HIGH FRUCTOSE DIETB. Chimal-Vega, N. Paniagua-Castro, J. C. Perez-Rebollar et al.Leptin is a hormone that regulates energy balance. Since its discovery two decades ago, several efforts have been made to fully understand its role in metabolic regulation of feeding behavior, reproduction, glucose homeostasis, immune function, bone formation, lipid metabolism, among others. Its use as a therapeutic option in obese patients is still limited due to the syndrome known as Leptin … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2014 · 7,388 accessesView PDFCite

Agamy, Refaat A. EidPioglitazone (Pio) is a PPAR-γ agonist insulin sensitizer has anti-inflammatory activity. Our novel aspect was to investigate its hepatic anti-inflammatory activity at the level of ultra-structure and enzymatic changes in a high sucrose diet animal model. Forty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four equal groups: Control; control Pio; high sucrose diet; high sucrose diet Pio treated groups.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXERCISE TRAINING REVERSES THE DELETERIOUS EFFECT OF SUCROSE INTAKE ON INSULIN RESISTANCE AND VISCERAL FAT MASS DEPOSITION ON MICEJulio Cesar Mendes Soares, Vanderlei Folmer, Gustavo Puntel, João B.T. Da RochaAbnormal fat deposition has been identified as an important mechanism of obesity-associated with insulin resistance. Literature data also indicate that exercise can improve insulin action. The heme pathway enzyme δ-Aminolevulinate Dehydratase (δ-ALA-D) is a good marker for oxidative stress and this sulfhydryl enzyme is inhibited in such oxidative pathologies diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2014 · 7,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdiponectin Regulation in Type 2 Diabetic Rats: Effects of Insulin, Metformin and DexamethasoneTamer Ahmed Ismail, Mohamed Mohamed Soliman, Shimaa Ahmed IsmailAdiponectin is a protein synthesized from adipose tissue, increases peripheral glucose utilization in liver and skeletal muscle. Adiponectin expression and secretion are decreased during obesity and insulin resistance. In this study, the effect of insulin, metformin and dexamethasone on serum lipid profiles was examined in Type 2 Diabetic (T2D) rats. T2D was induced by feeding rats a high fat diet … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2013 · 7,730 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPaleolithic-Style Diet and Coronary Artery Disease: The Tissue is the Issue?Eri Toda, Takahashi Toru, R. B. Singh et al.Approach: While the Western diet is proatherogenic, Paleolithic-style diet may be protective against Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs). Results: Western diet is characterized with energy dense, refined, foods with a high glycemic index (e.g., refined starches; biscuits and bread) and unhealthy lipids (e.g., trans fats, saturated fat, omega-6 rich oils) poor in omega-3 fatty acids, phytochemicals and fibre. These diets are known … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 10 Aug 2012 · 7,137 accessesView PDFCite
