Connection of adipocitokines and inflammatory markers in obese woman: influence of body weight reduction

Velojic Golubovic M. , Dimic D. , Stojic D. , Radenkovic S. , Antic S.

Fat tissue is highly active tissue, both metabolically and as endocrine tissue, which produced large number of bioactive peptides, known as adipocitokines. They seem to contribute in pathogenesis of obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and vascular disease. Adipocitokines and low grade inflammation could be connection between obesity and coexisting diseases. This is the reason we believe that body weight reduction could have posi...

Insulin resistance and C reactive protein level

Dimic D. , Velojic Golubovic M. , Radenkovic S. , Stojic D. , Antic S.

C reactive protein is a sensitive marker of subclinical inflammation. C-reactive protein is associated with obesity, diabetes mellitus and increased cardiovascular risk. The mechanism of elevated CRP levels could have connections with insulin resistance. Inflammation seems to have significant role in pathogenesis of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to show that the subjects with greater insulin resistance, measured by HOMA-IR have higher levels of ...
