The Impact of Visfatin Level Against Blood Pressure Among Pregnant Women

Jurnal Info Kesehatan, 2023
Visfatin, a protein with a molecular weight of 52 kDa, has been demonstrated to increase in the bloodstream. Visfatin has been shown in several studies to be a potential marker of preeclampsia.

Visfatin is regulated by rosiglitazone in type 2 diabetes mellitus and influenced by NFκB and JNK in human abdominal subcutaneous adipocytes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Visfatin has been proposed as an insulin-mimicking adipocytokine, predominantly secreted from adipose tissue and correlated with obesity. However, recent studies suggest visfatin may act as a proinflammatory cytokine.

Visfatin promotes intervertebral disc degeneration by inducing IL-6 expression through the ERK/JNK/p38 signalling pathways

Adipocyte, 2021
Visfatin reportedly induces the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Severe grades of intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) exhibit higher expression of visfatin than mild ones.

Visfatin Destabilizes Atherosclerotic Plaques in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
OBJECTIVES:Although there is evidence that visfatin is associated with atherogenesis, the effect of visfatin on plaque stability has not yet been explored. METHODS:In vivo, vulnerable plaques were established by carotid collar placement in apolipoprotein

Visfatin induces sickness responses in the brain. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Visfatin, also known as nicotiamide phosphoribosyltransferase or pre-B cell colony enhancing factor, is a pro-inflammatory cytokine whose serum level is increased in sepsis and cancer as well as in obesity.

Comparison of visfatin levels in patients with breast cancer and endometrial cancer with healthy individuals: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Health Science Reports, 2022
Background and aims Endometrial cancer (EC) and breast cancer (BC) are prevalent in women. Visfatin is an adipokine that, in addition to being involved in metabolism and inflammation, may also be interested in carcinogenesis.
