Plasma levels of PBEF/Nampt/visfatin are decreased in patients with liver cirrhosis.
Liver cirrhosis is a catabolic disease associated with a high incidence of insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. Pre-B cell colony-enhancing factor/ nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase/visfatin has been characterized as a novel adipokine with a potential role in glucose metabolism and nicotinamide dinucleotide (NAD) generation. We studied plasma levels and metabolic relevance of visfatin...
متن کاملThe Effect of Rhythmic Aerobic Exercise and Green Tea Supplementation on Visfatin Levels and Metabolic Risk Factors in Obese Diabetic Women
Background: Visfatin is protein with insulin-like function that is expressed in high levels in visceral fat tissue and its circulating levels is associated with obesity and diabetes. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of 10 weeks of rhythmic aerobic exercise and green tea supplementation on visfatin levels and insulin resistance in obese type II diabetic women. Met...
متن کاملSerum visfatin and vaspin levels in normoglycemic first-degree relatives of Iranian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
AIM To investigate circulating visfatin and vaspin levels in first-degree relatives of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (FDRs) who frequently have higher value of HOMA-IR and beta cell dysfunction. METHODS Serum visfatin and vaspin concentrations were measured in 179 Iranian subjects (90 normoglycemic FDRs and 89 age- and sex-matched healthy controls) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent a...
متن کاملActive visfatin is elevated in serum of maintenance haemodialysis patients and correlates inversely with circulating HDL cholesterol.
BACKGROUND Increased circulating visfatin may be associated both with endothelial damage and with increased mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). HDL cholesterol is an independent, strong inverse predictor of cardiovascular events. However, associations between visfatin and parameters of lipid metabolism are unclear. Moreover, serum concentrations of visfatin measured by an enzyme immuno...
متن کاملThe Effect of Eight Weeks Aerobic Training on C- Reactive Protein, Vaspin and Visfatin in Non- Athletic Men
Background and aim: Getting high calories and low mobility leads to weight gain and increase in fat tissue. The adipose tissue plays an important role in managing energy balance by secretion of some adipokines such as visfatin and vaspinn. The purpose of present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks aerobic training on C-reactive protein (CRP), vaspin and visfatin in non-athletic...
