Positive Association Between the Cardiometabolic Index and the Risk of Male Biochemical Androgen Deficiency in Adults

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic disorders are associated with testosterone deficiency, and the cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a recently identified metabolic indicator. The relationship between male biochemical androgen deficiency (MBAD), a precursor to testosterone deficiency, and CMI remains unclear.

LEPTIN AND OBESITY – NEUROENDOCRINE , METABOLIC AND ATHEROGENIC EFFECTS OF LEPTIN

open access: yesZdravniški Vestnik, 2003
Background. Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that was recently discovered. Leptin and leptin resistance play an important role in the pathogenesis of obesity.

Leptin Mediates In Vivo Neutrophil Migration: Involvement of Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha and CXCL1

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Leptin directly activates macrophages and lymphocytes, but the role of leptin in neutrophil activation and migration is still controversial. Here, we investigate the in vivo mechanisms of neutrophil migration induced by leptin.

Bariatric Surgery Lowers Incidence of Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and increased recurrence of CRS after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). This study found that in patients with obesity, undergoing bariatric surgery decreases the risk of new‐encounter diagnoses of CRS and results in fewer FESS.

Leptin Promotes the Expression of Pro-inflammatory Mediator Genes but Does Not Alter Osteoclastogenesis and Early Stage Differentiation of Osteoblasts

open access: yesJournal of Physiological Investigation
Leptin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, plays a pivotal role in maintaining energy metabolism and bone quality. Dysregulation of leptin can lead to the development of various pathological conditions.

Effects of a high‐fat diet on gut microbiota and possible implications for bone health in male Wistar rats

open access: yesLipids, EarlyView.
Abstract Diet plays an important role in the composition of gut microbiota. Emerging research suggests that bone homeostasis can also be influenced by the gut microbiota. The aim of this study was to assess possible alterations in gut microbiota in an experimental obesity model induced by a high‐fat diet (HFD) and the possible effects on parameters of ...
