NOV/CCN3: A New Adipocytokine Involved in Obesity-Associated Insulin Resistance.
Identification of new adipokines that potentially link obesity to insulin resistance represents a major challenge. We recently showed that NOV/CCN3, a multifunctional matricellular protein, is synthesized and secreted by adipose tissue, with plasma levels highly correlated with BMI. NOV involvement in tissue repair, fibrotic and inflammatory diseases, and cancer has been previously reported. Ho...
متن کاملAdipocytokine profile and insulin resistance in childhood obesity.
BACKGROUND Adipose tissue is a veritable "endocrine organ" due to its adipocytokines secretion implied in insulin sensitivity modulation and cardiovascular complications. OBJECTIVE To identify the adipocytokines' plasmatic profile (adiponectin, leptin, resistin, IL-6, TNFα) in obese children and adolescents and to assess their relationship with "classic" clinical/paraclinical markers of metab...
متن کاملResistin and obesity-associated insulin resistance.
Obesity is a major risk factor for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adipocytes secrete numerous substances that might contribute to peripheral insulin sensitivity. These include leptin, tumor necrosis factor alpha, Acrp30/adiponectin/adipoQ and interleukin 6, the potential roles of which are briefly reviewed here. Thiazolidinedione (TZD) antidiabetic drugs regulate gene transcri...
متن کاملAdipocytokine Associations with Insulin Resistance in British South Asians
Aims. Adipocytokines are implicated in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and may represent identifiable precursors of metabolic disease within high-risk groups. We investigated adiponectin, leptin, and TNF- α and assessed the contribution of these molecules to insulin resistance in south Asians. Hypothesis. South Asians have adverse adipocytokine profiles which associate with an HOMA-derived ...
متن کاملLiver enzyme and adipocytokine profiles are synergistically associated with insulin resistance: the J-SHIPP study.
AIM Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) are associated with insulin resistance and arteriosclerotic disease. Since adiposity raises liver enzyme levels and causes insulin resistance, adipocytokines are thought to underlie the relationship between liver enzymes and insulin resistance. To clarify this hypothesis, we conducted a cross-sectional epidemiological study in a...
