High fat diet attenuates the anticontractile activity of aortic PVAT via a mechanism involving AMPK and reduced adiponectin secretion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background and aim: Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) positively regulates vascular function through production of factors such as adiponectin but this effect is attenuated in obesity.

Association of BMI with adherence and outcome in heart failure patients treated with wearable cardioverter defibrillator

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1295-1303, April 2025.
Abstract Background Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet an ‘obesity paradox’ has been observed in various CVD contexts. The impact of obesity on heart failure (HF) patients treated with a wearable cardioverter‐defibrillator (WCD) remains underexplored.

Comparison between body mass index and a body shape index with adiponectin/leptin ratio and markers of glucose metabolism among adolescents

open access: yesAnnals of Human Biology, 2017
Background: Besides body mass index (BMI), new parameters have been developed to classify individual body shape. Aim: To investigate the relationship between BMI, waist circumference (WC), a body shape index (ABSI) and ABSI-adolescents among adolescents ...

Circulating vaspin is unrelated to insulin sensitivity in a cohort of nondiabetic humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Objective: To study the association of vaspin with glucose metabolism. Design: Cross-sectional and intervention study. Subjects and methods: The association of serum vaspin with metabolic and anthropometric characteristics was investigated in 108

Connecting the dots: A narrative review of the relationship between heart failure and cognitive impairment

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1119-1131, April 2025.
Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...

Chicken chemerin alone or in mixture with adiponectin-visfatin impairs progesterone secretion by primary hen granulosa cells

open access: yesPoultry Science
: Adipokines including adiponectin (ADIPO), chemerin (CHEM) and visfatin (VISF) are involved in metabolism and reproductive functions. These 3 adipokines are present in ovarian cells in different preovulatory follicles in hens.

Visceral adipose tissue activated macrophage content and inflammatory adipokine secretion is higher in pre-eclampsia than in healthy pregnancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Obesity increases preeclampsia risk. Adipose tissue inflammation may contribute to the clinical syndrome of pre-eclampsia. We compared adipose tissue macrophage infiltration and release of pro-inflammatory adipokines in pre-eclampsia and healthy ...

At what age should people with obesity start colorectal cancer screening?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Early‐onset colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence is rising in the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe, even as rates in older adults stabilize or decline. Excess body weight, which is a known CRC risk factor, is a potential contributor to this trend.

Metabolic regulation of regulatory T cell development and function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It is now well established that the effector T cell (Teff) response is regulated by a series of metabolic switches. Quiescent T cells predominantly require ATP-generating processes, whereas proliferating Teff require high metabolic flux through growth ...
