Obesity and cardiac function.

Obesity and cardiac function.

We studied 10 obese volunteers, mean age 36.5 +/- 10.3 years, who weighed 123.56 +/- 28.7 g and were 69.96 +/- 22.5 kg overweight. The subjects did not have diabetes, arterial hypertension or signs of cardiac and respiratory failure or disease and all underwent right- and left-heart catheterization. cardiac output and stroke volume were high, according to increased oxygen consumption and to the...

Obesity and Cardiac Microvascular Function

Introduction: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) reduces weight and long-term cardiovascular risk in obese patients. We showed that endothelial-mediated vasorelaxation improves rapidly in diet-induced obese (DIO) rats within 8 days after RYGB and is associated with reduced activation of JNK independently from weight loss. Purpose: We investigated whether in vivo inhibition of JNK with two differen...

Obesity and Preclinical Changes of Cardiac Geometry and Function

Overweight and obesity are rapidly increasing in prevalence due to adoption of the westernized life style in Korea. Obesity is strongly associated with the development of cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. In addition, accumulating evidence suggests that obesity per se has a direct effect on cardiac functional and structural changes that may not be the...

compactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops

chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...

Akt2 knockout preserves cardiac function in high-fat diet-induced obesity by rescuing cardiac autophagosome maturation.
