Objective: To evaluate the effects of free fatty acids (FFAs) on the regulation of plasma and adipose tissue mRNA adiponectin expression in lean and obese subjects.Methods: Seven obese men (31.3±1.1 kg/m2) and eight lean men (21.3±0.4 kg/m2) were studied. Subjects received an Intralipid 20% infusion over 180-min with sodium heparin. Blood sampling and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsy were taken before and after...

Objectives: We investigated cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients who underwent gastrectomies for early gastric cancer (EGC), and analyzed the changes in metabolic parameters in these patients after surgery.Background: Bariatric surgery, including gastric banding and gastric bypass, effectively induces weight loss and resolves cardiovascular comorbidities in obese patients.Methods: 2477 patients who underwent gastrecto...
