Metabolic Parameters and Oral Microbiota in Patients with Atherosclerosis

Background and Aim: Oral infections are usual between people of any age and can activate systemic inflammation. The microbiota consists of a variety of microorganisms that play an important role in metabolism, immune function, and homeostasis. Oral microbiota in human atherosclerotic plaques has been identified by various techniques. Therefore, the focus of study was to determine the correlatio...

Changes in Irisin, Interleukin-15 and Some Metabolic Parameters in Elderly Men with Metabolic Syndrome Following Increasingly Resistance Training

Background: The aging process is usually accompanied by a decrease in the function of the body's systems and physiological capacity, along with an increase in susceptibility to diseases, especially metabolic syndrome. This study looked at the effect of eight weeks of resistance training on levels of Irisin, IL-15, CRP, and Cholesterol in elderly men with metabolic syndrome. Methods: The statis...

Metabolic imaging Metabolic imaging in dilated cardiomyopathy

Cardiac metabolism is deranged in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Phosphorus-31 (P) and hydrogen1 (H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) allow for the non-invasive assessment of various aspects of cardiac metabolism, showing deranged cardiac energetics and lipid accumulation in DCM. In the future, MRS may become an important biomarker tool for monitoring the effects of novel heart-failure trea...

Metabolic imaging Metabolic imaging in the metabolic syndrome

The metabolic syndrome is associated with a well known increased risk of coronary disease, but the syndrome or its components are also associated with adverse cardiac remodeling and decreased function [1,2]. Changes in myocardial substrate preference, efficiency, and energetics probably contribute to cardiac remodeling and dysfunction [3–5]. The focus of this review is on noninvasive imaging te...
