Objective This study aimed to investigate the shortcoming of BMI as a measurement adiposity in patients with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD). Methods Two different matching procedures were used compare 55 FPLD versus control severe obesity (N = 548 patients) relationship between body weight, fat distribution, and metabolic diseases, such diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia, nonalcohol...

the lipid accumulation product is a novel, safe and inexpensive index of central lipid over accumulation based on waist circumference and fasting concentration of circulating triglycerides. this study was designed to investigate the ability of lipid accumulation product to predict cardio-metabolic risk factors in postmenopausal women. in this cross-sectional study, 264 postmenopausal women by u...

Genome-scale metabolic model reconstruction is a complicated process beginning with (semi-)automatic inference of the reactions participating in the organism's metabolism, followed by many iterations of network analysis and improvement. Despite advances in automatic model inference and analysis tools, reconstruction may still miss some reactions or add erroneous ones. Consequently, a human expe...

To the Editor:—Metabolic alkalemia is the most common acid–base disturbance among patients in the hospital. Because the disorder is associated with high mortality and morbidity, its prompt diagnosis and treatment is feasible. The expected physiologic compensation for a primary increase in serum bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3 ]), i.e., metabolic alkalosis, is hypoventilation that increases par...

A nitely presented group G is called metabolic if H 2 (1) (G; A) = 0 for all normed abelian coeecient groups A; it is equivalent to require that a Cayley graph for G admit a thin combing. Metabolicity is stronger than hyperbolicity, and it is an open problem whether all hyperbolic groups are metabolic. We prove that if H is metabolic, then H ha;b]i F(a; b) is also metabolic, where F(a;b) is fre...
