Abstract Objective : To evaluate interactions among leptin, adiponectin, resistin, ghrelin, and proinflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFRs), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6)] in nonmorbid morbid obesity. Research Methods Procedures We measured these hormones by immunoenzyme or radiometric assays 117 57 morbidly obese patients, a subgroup of 34 patients before 6 months after gastric bypass surgery. Insulin resistance homeostasis model assessment, lipid profile, anthropometrical...
Abstract Objectives : The aims of our study were to examine the lifetime prevalence obesity rate in eating disorders (ED) subtypes and whether there have been temporal changes among last 10 years explore clinical differences between ED with without obesity. Methods Participants 1383 female patients (DSM‐IV criteria) consecutively admitted, 2001 2010, Bellvitge University Hospital. They assessed by means Eating Disorders Inventory‐2, Symptom Checklist‐90—Revised, Bulimic Investigatory Test...
Context: Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) has a central role in glucose homeostasis through its amplification of insulin secretion; however, physiological adipose tissue is unclear. Objective: Our objective was to define the function GIP human relation obesity and resistance. Design: receptor (GIPR) expression analyzed sc (SAT) visceral (VAT) from lean obese subjects 3 independent cohorts. GIPR associated with anthropometric biochemical variables. responsiveness on sensitivity...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with an increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), even in patients morbid obesity. Our goal was to address whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment improved glucose metabolism this population.A prospective randomized controlled trial performed severe OSA obesity without diabetes two university referral hospitals. Patients received conservative (CT) versus CPAP for 12 weeks. MetS components, homeostasis model assessment...
OBJECTIVE To determine the potential use of baseline circulating succinate to predict type 2 diabetes remission after bariatric surgery. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Forty-five obese patients with were randomly assigned Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), or laparoscopic greater curvature plication. Anthropometric parameters evaluated, and a complete biochemical analysis including serum concentrations was performed at 1 year The results externally validated in second...
Abstract Background Individuals with obesity (OB) often report suffering from addiction‐like symptoms. As in addictions, deficits executive function domains, such as decision‐making and sustained attention, are found OB. No study to date has examined the associations between food addiction, OB, neuropsychological performance. Method Thirty‐three adult women OB 36 healthy weight controls completed Yale Food Addiction Scale Version 2.0, a validated instrument used assess food‐related addictive...
Summary Objective Adiponectin, resistin, ghrelin and the IGF‐I system seem to play an important role in regulation of body composition throughout life, but mechanisms are not well understood. The aim our study was analyse distribution among sexes all decades adult life adiponectin, resistin their relationship with anthropometric, parameters system. Subjects One hundred thirty‐four men 127 healthy women were included study. Measurements Plasma concentration ghrelin, total IGF‐I, free IGFBP‐3...
Summary Objective Interleukin‐18 (IL‐18) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine whose role in human obesity has recently been suggested. The aim of our study was to analyse morbidly obese patients undergoing gastric bypass, the relationship IL‐18 with insulin resistance and cytokines (tumour necrosis factor‐α receptors, sTNFR), C‐reactive protein (CRP) adiponectin. Design Observational prospective study. Patients Sixty‐five patients, aged 45 ± 8·9 years, were studied before 12 months after...
Aquaporin-7 is required for efflux of glycerol from adipocytes and influences whole-body glucose homeostasis in animal studies.Our objective was to test the hypothesis that AQP7 gene expression levels may be affected by presence obesity type 2 diabetes humans.The study cohort consisted 12 lean, 22 nonseverely obese, 13 severely obese subjects. The 17 lean 39 diabetic patients. Circulating plasma soluble proteins monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, TNF receptors 1 2, IL-6 were measured. sc...
Bariatric surgery (BS) has proven to be the most effective treatment for weight loss and improving comorbidities in severe obesity. A comprehensive psychological assessment prior is proposed prepare patients a successful post-surgical outcome. Therefore, main aim of present study was assess personality predictors BS The sample comprised 139 severely obese who underwent BS. Assessment measures included Eating Disorders Inventory-2, Symptom Checklist-Revised Temperament Character...
Increased delay discounting is associated with obesity and binge eating disorder (BED). Although BED frequently co-occur, the neural mechanisms underlying in these conditions remain poorly understood.
