Adipokines have been connected to the metabolic syndrome since discovery of leptin because its influence on biological functions such as blood pressure, homeostasis, adipogenesis, and glucose metabolism.

Impact of replacing dietary saturated with unsaturated fats on the expression genes related to cholesterol metabolism in peripheral blood mononuclear cells: Findings from RISSCI-1 study - Volume 80 Issue OCE5

1. The respiratory metabolism of non-nucleated mammalian erythrocytes is enormously accelerated and approaches the magnitude of the metabolism of the nucleated erythrocytes of birds on the addition of methylene blue (and certain other dyes), to a final concentration of 0.005-0.0005 per cent. 2. In the presence of methylene blue the respiration is accelerated even when M/1000 KCN is also present...

a total of 1440 arian chicks were used in this study to determine the effects of diet formulation methods on performance and blood parameters of arian chicks. eight diets were arranged in a 2×2×2 factorial design with 2 methods of energy expression (apparent (amen) and true (tmen) metabolizable energy corrected to n equilibrium), 2 methods of amino acids content of feeds (total (taaf) and diges...

It is becoming apparent that is patients with hirsutism, metabolic aberrations are of greater health importance rather than unwanted hair growth.in this respect , evaluation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism was carried out on a group of 92 women with idiopathic hirsutism(IH).these were divided into: obese and non-profit obese  groups.seventy healthy subjects were also taken as control group...

conclusions we observed no significant differences between the two groups in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, except for hdl-c. considering the importance of overweight and obese women’s health, studies with longer follow-up periods are recommended in this respect. results the differences in lipid and carbohydrate parameters were not significant between the two groups, except for hdl-c (adjus...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is associated with reduced blood flow and muscle oxidative metabolism. Patients with CFS according to Centers for Disease Control criteria (n = 19) were compared with normal sedentary subjects (n = 11). Muscle blood flow was measured in the femoral artery with Doppler ultrasound after exercise. Muscle metabolism w...
