Downregulation of MIR-346 affects the expression of nuclear receptor-interacting protein 1 (NRIP-1) and estrogen receptors in follicular thyroid cancer

Nam Jisun , Suk Park Jong , Woo Ahn Chul , Kim Yu-Sik

Objectives: Evidence exists that estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ) may be involved in the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer. miR-341, a potent biomarker that distinguishes follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) from adenoma, has shown proliferative and metastatic effects in various cancers by regulating nuclear receptor-interacting protein 1 (NRIP1), which forms complexes with ERα. Thus, we investigated the role of miR-346 on estrogen-associated pathogenesis of...

Introduction: NK cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes critical to innate immunity. The purpose of this study is to find out the difference in NK cell activity between type 2 diabetes patients and controls, and to investigate the association between NK cell activity and glucose control.Methods: Forty-nine subjects were enrolled in this study, with 23 type 2 diabetes patients and 26 normal glucose tolerant controls. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters wer...

The effects of Korean red ginseng on diabetic complications and glucose modulation in type 2 diabetic patients

Woo Ahn Chul , Hye Kim Jung , Park Kahui , Bae Lee Sang , Sun Nam Ji , Kang Shinae , Suk Park Jong , Kim Yu-Sik

Background: Korean red ginseng (KRG) has been shown to improve glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in several human studies. However, human studies on the effects of KRG on diabetic complications are lacking. We performed this study to investigate the effects of KRG administration on glucose metabolism and chronic diabetic complications in type 2 diabetes patients.Methods: This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. 83 type ...

The effects of endurance exercise training on chemerin, apelin, and visfatin in metabolically healthy obese young males

Bae Lee Sang , Hye Kim Jung , Park Kahui , Sun Nam Ji , Kang Shinae , Suk Park Jong , Woo Ahn Chul , Kim Yu-Sik

Purpose: This study investigated the exercise-induced changes in novel adipokines (visfatin, chemerin, and apelin) related to obesity and metabolism, and their correlations with the changes in the measures of obesity and glucose homeostasis after the 8-wk exercise intervention.Methods: Forty metabolically heathy obese young males were randomly assigned either to control (C, n=12) or exercise group (Ex, n=28). The subje...
