Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity, personality traits, and BCL1 and N363S polymorphisms of the glucocorticoid receptor gene in metabolically obese normal-weight women

Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity, personality traits, and BCL1 and N363S polymorphisms of the glucocorticoid receptor gene in metabolically obese normal-weight women

We sought associations among metabolic profiles, copeptin levels, emotional control, personality traits, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in metabolically obese normal-weight young women (MONW). We assessed body composition, including fat-free mass; body fat (BF) and android and gynoid fat depots; fasting blood glucose, insulin, copeptin, cortisol (baseline and after dexamethaso...

Comparison of Components of Metabolic Syndrome among Metabolically Obese Normal Weight, Metabolically Benign Normal Weight, and Metabolically Abnormal Obese Iranian Children and Adolescents in Ahvaz

Background: Metabolically obese normal-weight (MONW) children and adolescents are characterized by body mass index (BMI) lower than +1SD with metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypertension. This study wants to determineprevalence of MONW, metabolically benign normal weight (MBNW), metabolically abnormality obese (MAO) and comparethe components of metabolic ...

Analysis of BCLI, N363S and ER22/23EK Polymorphisms of the Glucocorticoid Receptor Gene in Adrenal Incidentalomas

CONTEXT Patients with adrenal incidentalomas (AI) may experience detrimental consequences due to a minimal cortisol excess sustained by adrenal adenoma. SNPs of the glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1) modulate individual sensitivity to glucocorticoids and may interfere with the clinical presentation. OBJECTIVE To compare the frequency of N363S, ER22/23EK and BclI SNPs in patients with AI wit...

In Search of the Best Candidate for Detection of Metabolically Obese Normal-Weight Phenotype

comparison of components of metabolic syndrome among metabolically obese normal weight, metabolically benign normal weight, and metabolically abnormal obese iranian children and adolescents in ahvaz

background: metabolically obese normal-weight (monw) children and adolescents are characterized by body mass index (bmi) lower than +1sd with metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypertension. this study wants to determine prevalence of monw, metabolically benign normal weight (mbnw), metabolically abnormality obese (mao) and compare the components of metaboli...
