High Serum Asprosin Levels Are Associated with Presence of Metabolic Syndrome
International Journal of Endocrinology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Objective. Asprosin, a new adipocytokine, has reportedly been associated with glucose release, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance (IR). However, the relationship of asprosin with metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate serum asprosin levels in MetS as well as their association with various metabolic parameters in ...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells: An Excellent Candidate for the Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus
International Journal of Endocrinology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells (ASCs) known for repairing damaged cells, exerting anti‐inflammatory responses and producing immunoregulatory effects that can be significantly induced into insulin‐producing cells (IPCs), providing an inexhaustible supply of functional β cells for cell replacement therapy and disease modeling for ...

Betatrophin Levels were Increased in Pregnant Women with or without Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Associated with Beta Cell Function [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, 2016 Purpose betatrophin has been reported to boost β cell expansion in insulin resistant states. Pregnancy is a well-recognized physiological state of insulin resistance.

JGH Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 929-936, October 2020., 2020 Japanese patients with NAFLD have significant fibrosis with reduced insulin secretion. These patients also tended to be significantly non‐obese. Abstract Background and Aim Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is typically associated with metabolic syndrome and diabetes, and insulin resistance is involved in its pathogenesis.
