Obesity-Associated Hepatosteatosis and Impairment of Glucose Homeostasis Are Attenuated by Haptoglobin Deficiency
OBJECTIVE Haptoglobin (Hp) is upregulated in both inflammation and obesity. The low chronic inflammatory state, caused by massive adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) infiltration found in obesity, and low adiponectin have been implicated in the development of insulin resistance and hepatosteatosis. The aim of this work was to investigate whether and how Hp interferes with the onset of obesity-assoc...
متن کاملIs Childhood Obesity Associated with Iron Deficiency Anemia?
Background: The prevalence of obesity is increasing and many countries are struggling with its high rate and serious complications. As a result of distinct diet in obese children, they may be susceptible to nutritional deficiencies in particular, iron deficiency. This study aimed to examine the relationship between obesity and iron indices. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 206 element...
متن کاملHaptoglobin polymorphism and iron homeostasis.
BACKGROUND There is a marked difference in the degree of expression of the homozygous C282Y HFE genotype that is associated with hereditary hemochromatosis. It has been reported that individuals with the haptoglobin 2-2 type manifest increased iron concentrations, including serum iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin. METHODS We studied 232 patients, 115 homozygous for the c.845G-->A (C2...
متن کاملFarnesoid X Receptor Deficiency Improves Glucose Homeostasis in Mouse Models of Obesity
OBJECTIVE Bile acids (BA) participate in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis acting through different signaling pathways. The nuclear BA receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) regulates pathways in BA, lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism, which become dysregulated in obesity. However, the role of FXR in obesity and associated complications, such as dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, has n...
متن کاملThe Abnormal Measures of Iron Homeostasis in Pediatric Obesity Are Associated with the Inflammation of Obesity
Objectives. To determine if the low iron state described in obese children is associated with the chronic inflammatory state seen in obesity. Study Design. Obese children age from 2 to 19 years seen at a weight management clinic were studied prospectively. Data were collected on age, gender, BMI, BMI z-score, serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation, free erythrocyte protoporphyrin, high se...
