Obesity Affects Mitochondrial Citrate Synthase in Human Omental Adipose Tissue
The activities of some key enzymes in mitochondria from 135 human omental adipose tissue samples of obese and nonobese patients were analyzed for potential association with the patients' state of obesity. The activities of respiratory complexes I and II as well as citrate synthase in isolated mitochondria were measured using spectrophotometric enzyme assays. ATP generation of mitochondria was d...
متن کاملImportant mitochondrial proteins in human omental adipose tissue show reduced expression in obesity
UNLABELLED Impaired mitochondrial function is important in obesity and the development of insulin resistance and diabetes. The aim of this study was to identify human adipocyte-derived mitochondrial proteins associated with obesity. Mitochondrial proteins from 20 abdominal omental adipose tissue biopsies (13 obese and 7 control subjects) were separated by anion-exchange chromatography coupled t...
متن کاملMicroRNA Expression in Human Omental and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, that play important regulatory roles in a variety of biological processes, including development, differentiation, apoptosis, and metabolism. In mammals, miRNAs have been shown to modulate adipocyte differentiation. Therefore, we performed a global miRNA gene expression assay in different fat depots of overweight and obese individuals to investigate...
متن کاملGene expression profile of omental adipose tissue in human obesity.
The aim of the present study was to gain insight into the pathophysiology of obesity by comparing the pattern of gene expression of omental adipose tissue of obese and lean volunteers using DNA microarrays. Omental adipose tissue biopsies were obtained by laparoscopic surgery from six male patients (44.2+/-6.3 yr). RNA was extracted and pooled for the obese (BMI: 37.3+/-2.5 kg/m2) and lean (BMI...
متن کاملAdipokines oversecreted by omental adipose tissue in human obesity.
Central-omental obesity plays a causative role in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome. Adipokines are involved in the pathogenesis of this syndrome. However, adipokines secreted by omental adipose tissue (OAT) are still poorly characterized in human obesity. Therefore, we searched for novel adipokines abnormally secreted by OAT in obesity and examined their relationships with some featur...
