Objective The adipocyte/macrophage fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) has been described as a biomarker for adiposity and metabolic syndrome (MS). aims of this study were to assess the relationship between FABP4 inflammatory cytokines related obesity, evaluate mRNA expression in visceral subcutaneous adipose tissue non-diabetic morbidly obese women versus healthy lean women. Methods We analyzed circulating levels 81 Spanish women: 38 (body mass index (BMI)<25 kg/m 2 ) 43 (BMI>40 )....
Abstract Objective: We aimed to analyze the retinol binding protein‐4 (RBP4) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression profiles in adipose tissues and liver of morbidly obese (MO) women with or without nonalcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD), study relationships other pro‐ anti‐inflammatory adipokines vivo vitro. Design Methods: performed a cross‐sectional analysis subcutaneous tissue (SAT), visceral (VAT) samples from four lean 45 MO NAFLD by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay real‐time reverse...
Objective The aim of this study was to analyse the expression crucial genes in fatty acid metabolism visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue samples from morbidly obese women. Methods VAT SAT key 145 women (MO, BMI > 40 Kg/m 2 ) 18 normal weight control by RT‐PCR Western Blot analyzed. Results In SAT, levels related lipogenesis oxidation were significantly lower MO than controls. VAT, most lipogenic studied had similar cohort. Regarding inflammation, IL6 higher both tissues...
Recent studies report the effect of bariatric surgery on glycaemia control and prevention type-2-diabetes in obese patients. This study is about pathophysiological mechanisms associated to these changes.Circulating levels receptors tumor necrosis factor (TNF-RI, TNF-RII), visfatin, high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin, C reactive protein (CRP) 30 morbidly women (body mass index, BMI>40 kg/m(2) ) 60 normal-weight controls (BMI>25 were analyzed. Morbidly studied at three time-points: before...
Summary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by clonal B cell attack of the exocrine glands and dysregulated expression cell-activating factor (BAFF). Based upon current data increased rates lymphoid malignancy, as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) associated with SS, we propose detection rearrangements immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene in those patients a predictor malignant expansion. To test our proposal, examined IgH SS (60) healthy control subjects (42) having...
