We investigated platelet aggregation in children with obesity and lipometabolic disorders in whole blood. PATIENTS, MATERIAL, METHODS Specimens from patients with overweight (n = 35), hypercholesterolaemia and normal w...
متن کاملImpaired autonomic function in adolescents born preterm
Preterm birth temporarily disrupts autonomic nervous system (ANS) development, and the long-term impacts of disrupted fetal development are unclear in children. Abnormal cardiac ANS function is associated with worse health outcomes, and has been identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We used heart rate variability (HRV) in the time domain (standard deviation of RR intervals, SD...
متن کاملImpaired cardiac contractile function in ventricular myocytes from leptin-deficient ob/ob obese mice.
The level of the obese gene product leptin is often positively correlated with body weight, supporting the notion that hyperleptinemia contributes to obesity-associated cardiac dysfunction. However, a link between leptin levels and cardiac function has not been elucidated. This study was designed to examine the role of leptin deficiency (resulting from a point mutation of the leptin gene) in ca...
