Ultrasound and MRI abdominal fat distribution and its associations with metabolic conditions in adults with abdominal obesity. [PDF]
Abstract Aims To evaluate the accuracy of abdominal fat distribution of subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) assessed by ultrasound (US) compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as the gold standard technique. Additionally, to assess the association between abdominal fat distribution measured by US and metabolic conditions in ...

Polymorphic Single-Nucleotide Variants in miRNA Genes and the Susceptibility to Colorectal Cancer: Combined Evaluation by Pairwise and Network Meta-Analysis, Thakkinstian's Algorithm and FPRP Criterium. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Considerable epidemiological studies have examined the correlation between polymorphic single‐nucleotide variants (SNPs) in miRNA genes and colorectal carcinoma (CRC) risk, yielding inconsistent results. Herein, we sought to systematically investigate the association between miRNA‐SNPs and CRC susceptibility by combined evaluation ...

Stimulation of glucose utilization in 3T3 adipocytes and rat diaphragm in vitro by the sulphonylureas, glimepiride and glibenclamide, is correlated with modulations of the cAMP regulatory cascade [PDF]
The long-term hypoglycemic activity of sulphonylurea drugs has been attributed, in part at least, to the stimulation of glucose utilization in extra-pancreatic tissues. The novel sulphonylurea, glimepiride, gives rise to a longer lasting reduction in the
