Are there any associations between vitamin D levels and insulin resistance in obese patients?

Topaloglu Omercan , Evren Bahri , Yologlu Saim , Sahin Ibrahim

Introduction: Most of the human studies suggested an association between obesity and low 25(OH)D3 0levels. It has been proposed that co-existence of vitamin D deficiency may have a role in the development of IR in obesity. We aimed to reveal whether any association was present between IR and 25(OH)D3.Materials-methods: 223 obese patients referred to our clinics were evaluated for the study. 24 patients with known diabetes mellitus were excluded. Finally,...

Karaca Zuhal , Sahin Ibrahim , Taskapan Cagatay , Ozyalin Fatma , Yologlu Saim

Introduction: It has been shown that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) could affect bone metabolism through several mechanism and it may increases risk for osteoporosis. Glucose lowering therapies including metformin has also been reported to may effect on bone turnover. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of metformin therapy on bone resorption and formation markers in newly diagnosed patients with T2DM.Method/design: Study population consisted of 37...

Topaloglu Omercan , Sumer Fatih , Cetin Sedat , Yologlu Saim , Kayaalp Cuneyt , Sahin Ibrahim

Objective: The number of studies that investigate thyroid functions in obese patients is limited, and little known about the effect of co-existence of type 2 diabetes mellitus on thyroid functions. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the spectrum of thyroid function in the both diabetic and non-diabetic obese patients.Materials-Methods: 145 obese patients who were admitted to our department of endocrinology and metabolism, between June 2014 and December 2...

Orlistat improves postprandial triglyceride metabolism in obese patients with or without diabetes

Sahin I , Bentli R , Keskin L , Taskapan C , Senel S , Yologlu S

Objective: Accumulating data suggests that post-prandial hypertriglyceridemia is important in the pathogenesis and progression of atherosclerosis, and thus cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to assess the acute effect of the orlistat vs placebo on post-prandial triglyceride (TG) level in diabetic and non-diabetic obese patients.Research Design and Methods: Study population consisted of 49 patients with obesity (25 non-diabetics, 24 diabetic). Patients wer...

Epicardial adipose tissue, hepatic steatosis and obesity

Cikim Ayse Sertkaya , Topal Ergun , Harputluoglu Murat , Keskin Lezzan , Zengin Zeynep , Cikim Kerim , Ozdemir Ramazan , Aladag Murat , Yologlu Saim

Objective: The measurement of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) sonographically is reported to be related with both obesity and insulin resistance. Hepatic steatosis is one of the best known other coincidence with obesity. We aimed to evaluate the relationships between EAT thickness, hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance in obese patients.Methods: Obese 63 subjects were enrolled into the study. Local ethical committee approval was obtained. Patients wer...
