Visceral obesity is characterized by impaired nitric oxide-independent vasodilation.
BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction has been described in obesity. This study examines the impact of visceral obesity on nitric oxide-independent relaxation in the human forearm. METHODS AND RESULTS In ten viscerally obese and ten matched controls forearm blood flow (FBF) was measured by venous occlusion plethysmography during intrabrachial infusion of: (1) sodium nitroprusside; (2) bradykinin...
متن کاملImpaired Proteostasis Contributes to Renal Tubular Dysgenesis
Protein conformational disorders are associated with the appearance, persistence, accumulation, and misprocessing of aberrant proteins in the cell. The etiology of renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) is linked to mutations in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Here, we report the identification of a novel ACE mutation (Q1069R) in an RTD patient. ACE Q1069R is found sequestered in the endoplasm...
متن کاملDiabetes Mellitus is a chronic multisystem disease characterized by a deficient or defective insulin secretory response that translates
a deficient or defective insulin secretory response that translates 1 into disordered carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. The fascinating history of Diabetes Mellitus dates back to as early as 400 B.C, when Sushrutacharacterised the disease by an “excess of honeyed urineMadhumaya''. The prevelance of Diabetes 2 Mellitus has been steadily rising over the years . The WHO Global report on di...
متن کاملAdapting proteostasis for disease intervention.
The protein components of eukaryotic cells face acute and chronic challenges to their integrity. Eukaryotic protein homeostasis, or proteostasis, enables healthy cell and organismal development and aging and protects against disease. Here, we describe the proteostasis network, a set of interacting activities that maintain the health of proteome and the organism. Deficiencies in proteostasis lea...
متن کاملCombating Parkinson's disease-associated toxicity by modulating proteostasis.
The incidence of age-associated neurodegenerative disease is growing rapidly, and it is expected to triple by 2050 (1). Currently, there are no cures or treatments that significantly modify disease progression. As researchers develop an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, common features across different diseases are becoming apparent. Chief among them is the presence...
