Effects of Different Dietary Levels of Chia (<i>Salvia hispanica</i> L.) and Quinoa (<i>Chenopodium quinoa</i> Willd.) on Adipokines and Anthropometric Parameters in Rats. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrSix weeks dietary supplementation with chia (Salvia hispanica L.) and quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) modulated adipokine profiles and anthropometric parameters in male Wistar rats: 20% chia and quinoa decreased serum chemerin, resistin, and insulin levels while increasing omentin; 10%–20% supplementation decreased visfatin; all supplemented diets ...

Periodontitis and metabolic diseases (diabetes and obesity): Tackling multimorbidity
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are multifactorial, long‐term, chronic conditions that represent a burden to health‐care systems worldwide as they can only be controlled rather than cured; hence, they require long‐term care. With the exponential increase in NCDs, the occurrence of individuals presenting with more than one chronic disease is ...

Visfatin Is an Adipokine, But It Is Not Regulated by Thiazolidinediones [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2006 Visfatin was recently reported to be expressed in human adipose tissue and to exert insulin-mimicking effects.The objective of this study was to examine whether visfatin is a true adipokine and is expressed in isolated fat cells. We also examined whether visfatin is regulated by thiazolidinediones and, thus, can contribute to the ability of these ...

Nampt/PBEF/visfatin and cancer [PDF]
Cancer Biology & Therapy, 2010 Nampt/PBEF/visfatin is the rate-limiting enzyme that catalyzes the first step in NAD biosynthesis from nicotinamide and regulates growth, apoptosis and angiogenesis of mammalian cells. This enzyme was originally cloned as a putative cytokine shown to enhance the B cell precursor maturation in the presence of IL-7 and stem cell factor.

The Role of Visfatin in Diabetic Nephropathy [PDF]
Chonnam Medical Journal, 2011 As a result of the energy overload in obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and atherosclerosis develop, which together comprise the metabolic syndrome. Although the kidney becomes a victim of hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus, recent work has shown that the abnormalities of lipid and glucose metabolism in the ...

Plasma visfatin/nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (visfatin/NAMPT) concentration in elderly subjects with metabolic syndrome [PDF]
Polish Archives of Internal Medicine, 2015 Visceral adipose tissue is the main source of circulating proinflammatory adipokine, visfatin/nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (visfatin/NAMPT), whose role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome (MS) components such as hypertension and carbohydrate and lipid disturbances is still uncertain, due to commonly used low specific C-terminal ...

In vivo and ex vivo regulation of visfatin production by leptin in human and murine adipose tissue : role of mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling pathways [PDF]
, 2009 Visfatin is an adipogenic adipokine with increased levels in obesity, properties common to leptin. Thus, leptin may modulate visfatin production in adipose tissue (AT).
