The risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) development is related to BMI, therefore this disease mainly occurs among overweight (OW) and obese (OB) people. However lean (L) individuals may also suffer from T2DM. The evolution of T2DM is a multistep process and starts with insulin resistance (IR), which may evolve into pre-diabetic state i.e.: impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). In up to 70% of patients pre-diabetic state evolves into T2DM. ...

Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ that actively contributes to the development of the metabolic dysfunction but it is not homogenous and the nature of its impact considerably depends on its anatomic location. So far both subcutaneous and deep neck adipose tissue depots were individually related to increased metabolic risk but their particular features were not mutually compared. Adiponectin is an adipocytokine that has consistently showed higher mRNA expression in subcutane...

Dietary fat influences systemic inflammatory status, which, in turn, determines the progression of age-associated diseases. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) comprise a subset of white blood cells placed at the crossroad between diet and inflammation, in that they play a key role in the immune/inflammatory system and their gene expression pattern is influenced by diet. Since the somatostatin (SST), cortistatin (CORT) and ghrelin systems have been shown to modulate the...

Sex hormone binding globulin, total and HMW adiponectin and insulin resistance among normal weight postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome

Sieminska Lucyna , Walczak Krzysztof

Visceral obesity among postmenopausal women often leads to the development of metabolic syndrome (MS), but there is a subgroup of normal weight postmenopausal women displaying metabolic disturbances who are diagnosed to have MS. These subjects often show insulin resistance, however little is known about the effects of adiponectin and sex hormone binding globuline SHBG) on MS in this subset of women.The aim of the study was: i) to assess serum SHBG, total...

Childhood obesity alters innate T cell frequency and function resulting in loss of regulation and increased inflammation

Hogan Andrew , Carolan Eirin , Mangan Bozgana , Corrigan Michelle , Doherty Derek , Cody Declan , O'Shea Donal

Background: Childhood obesity now represents a major public health concern. Being obese in childhood appears to increase the risk of severe obesity in adulthood. Obesity is associated with co-morbid conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Underpinning obesity is a state of chronic sterile inflammation. Recently the invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell, an innate T cell was shown to act as a metabolic regulator and altered by obesity both in adults and ...
