Increased circulating ANG II and TNF-α represents important risk factors in obese Saudi adults with hypertension irrespective of diabetic status and BMI [PDF]

, 2012
Central adiposity is a significant determinant of obesity-related hypertension risk, which may arise due to the pathogenic inflammatory nature of the abdominal fat depot.

Increased Insulin Action, Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Function in Supervillin‐Knockout and Supervillin‐Mutant Mice

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...

Transcriptional Characterization of Porcine Leptin and Leptin Receptor Genes

PLoS ONE, 2013
The leptin (LEP) and its receptor (LEPR) regulate food intake and energy balance through hypothalamic signaling. However, the LEP-LEPR axis seems to be more complex and its expression regulation has not been well described. In pigs, LEP and LEPR genes have been widely studied due to their relevance. Previous studies reported significant effects of SNPs

Genomic Insights Into Risperidone Treatment Outcomes in Children and Adolescents: Experience From a Psychiatric Hospital Serving Rural Youth

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Risperidone is a commonly used antipsychotic for treating psychiatric illness in children and adolescents. There is a large variability in risperidone response and discontinuation rates remain high. Pharmacogenomics offers the opportunity to improve risperidone outcomes, yet studies in pediatric populations are limited.

Influence of leptin on arterial distensibility - A novel link between obesity and cardiovascular disease? [PDF]

, 2002
Background-The mechanisms by which obesity increases the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) are poorly understood. In experimental models, leptin, a hormone produced by adipose tissue, has been shown adversely to affect vascular health.

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonism Exacerbates Activity‐Based Anorexia in Mice

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor (GLP‐1R) agonists reduce food intake and body weight, suggesting they should be avoided in anorexia nervosa. However, preclinical evidence that these drugs reduce activity and reward‐seeking behavior raises the possibility that they might attenuate the compulsive‐like hyperactivity central to ABA ...

Beyond BMI: Unsupervised Machine Learning Clustering of Bioelectrical Impedance Phenotypes Is Associated With Weight‐Recovery Trajectories in Anorexia Nervosa

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify data‐driven body composition phenotypes in patients with moderate‐to‐extreme anorexia nervosa (AN) using machine learning (ML) clustering of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameters, and to test whether these phenotypes have specific psychopathological and childhood trauma profiles while correlating with early ...

Effects of diabetes family history and exercise training on the expression of adiponectin and leptin and their receptors [PDF]

, 2011
Daughters of diabetes patients have lower insulin sensitivity than women with no diabetes family history, but increase insulin sensitivity to a greater extent with exercise training.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...
