This comprehensive study delves into the potential link between Neuromedin U (NmU) serum levels and the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition of increasing global prevalence and significant public health concern. The research provides a nuanced understanding of the disease's etiology by examining a cohort of 112 participants, including individuals with and without NAFLD. The study meticulously considers a spectrum of variables such as demographic factors, body composition metrics, and blood parameters...

INTRODUCTION: The optimal dietary strategy to improve the metabolic and reproductive endocrine profile in adolescents with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome is undefined. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the MEtabolic Syndrome REduction in NAvarra (RESMENA) diet versus a control diet based on American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations for the treatment of PCOS in adolescents with PCOS. METHODS: A total of 40 adolescents diagnosed with PCOS between the ages of 13-18 years were randomized to either a RESMENA or control diet for 6 months...

RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Farnoush Fallah, Reza Mahdavi
BACKGROUND: Obesity, a multifactorial disorder with pandemic dimensions, is conceded a major culprit of morbidity and mortality worldwide, necessitating efficient therapeutic strategies. Nutraceuticals and functional foods are considered promising adjuvant/complementary approaches for weight management in individuals with obesity who have low adherence to conventional treatments. Current literature supports the weight-reducing efficacy of pro/pre/synbiotics or L-carnitine; however, the superiority of the nutraceutical joint supplementation approach over common single therapies to counter obesity and accompanying comorbidities is well documented...

Catestatin (CST) is a pleiotropic peptide with cardioprotective and metabolic effects. CST is involved in the pathogenesis of both arterial hypertension (AH) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which are the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the plasma CST levels in hypertensive patients, especially with T2DM, as well as compare those with healthy volunteers, and explore the relationship between CST levels and clinical, anthropometric and laboratory parameters...

OBJECTIVES: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is related to obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. The increasing prevalence of NAFLD results in a significant number of patients manifesting chronic liver disease over time. The aim of this study was to analyze the predictive factors to estimate NAFLD severity in patients who are candidates for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. METHODS: This descriptive observational study was conducted with 136 obese patients who were candidates for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and had mild, moderate, or severe NAFLD...

BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance is common in individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Because insulin resistance is a predictive factor for advanced liver diseases in people with NAFLD, efforts have been made to predict it through anthropometric variables. Recently, neck circumference (NC) has been regarded as a reliable alternative marker for metabolic disorders. This study verified the association between NC and insulin resistance in patients with NAFLD. METHODS: We analyzed data from 847 people with NAFLD who participated in the 2019 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey...

INTRODUCTION: Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) have immediate and long-term consequences on adolescent health and well-being. Among the available treatments for MetS in adolescents, behavioral interventions such as increasing physical activity (PA) are preferred. This study aimed to investigate the association of PA and sitting time with MetS and a complete set of metabolic health parameters. METHODS: Data from the Pediatric Brazilian Metabolic Syndrome Study (BRAMS-P), a cross-sectional multicenter study conducted using a convenience sample of 448 Brazilian adolescents (10y-19y), were used...

OBJECTIVE: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a female endocrinopathy characterized by hyperandrogenemia, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and obesity. Hepassocin (HPS) is a hepatokine involved in energy and lipid metabolism. We aimed to investigate the role of HPS in metabolic dysfunction and its relationship with fatty liver in patients with PCOS. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 45 newly diagnosed PCOS patients and 42 healthy women of similar age were included in the study...

OBJECTIVE: Children and adolescents with adiposity excess are at increased risk of future cardiovascular (CV) disease. Fat accumulation promotes the development of elevated blood pressure (BP) and arterial stiffness, two main determinants of CV risk which are strongly inter-related. We aimed at investigating whether the association between overweight and arterial stiffness, taken at different arterial segments, is mediated by increased BP or is BP-independent. METHODS: Three hundred and twenty-two Italian healthy adolescents (mean age 16...

BACKGROUND: Features of metabolic syndrome such as abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and dyslipidemia are commonly encountered in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Recent evidence has suggested an association between high serum uric acid/creatinine (UA/Cr) ratio and metabolic syndrome however, no studies have investigated this association in PCOS. The current study was conducted to investigate the relationship between UA/Cr ratio and PCOS and to identify whether UA/Cr ratio and free androgen index (FAI) have an additive interaction for detection of PCOS risk in obese women...

INTRODUCTION: Increase in blood pressure is the leading cause of comorbidity, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, but its variability represents an independent risk factor for the same in menopausal women. Dramatic decrease of estrogen production in menopause interferes with many metabolic pathways leading to insulin resistance, increased body mass index (BMI) and dyslipidemia hence cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In this study an assessment of the variability of blood pressure in postmenopausal women and its association with BMI have been highlighted...

INTRODUCTION: Insulin resistance (IR) is a metabolism disorder that contributes to the pathophysiology of acanthosis nigricans (AN). In turn, AN is a self-determining risk factor and cutaneous marker of IR. However, conflicting evidence makes the AN-IR relationship debatable and open to exploration. If established, it could provide opportunities for early diagnosis and management of IR before the onset of diabetes mellitus and its complications by screening AN patients. This study investigates the prevalence of IR among AN patients and evaluates the association between IR and AN severity...

BACKGROUND: Acanthosis Nigricans (AN) is an asymptomatic skin condition linked to several underlying systemic conditions. Chemerin is an adipokine that increases during inflammatory disorders such as metabolic syndrome (MetS). AIMS: This case-control study investigates the link between AN and the underlying MetS and serum levels of chemerin in individuals with obesity. PATIENTS/METHODS: 25 adults with AN and obesity (body mass index (BMI) >30 Kg/m2 ), 25 adults with obesity but no AN, and 25 healthy controls (BMI <30 Kg/m2 ) had their lipid profiles and serum chemerin concentrations examined...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have demonstrated stronger associations between metabolic alterations and neck circumference (NC) than with body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference (WC). However, most of these studies were performed in individuals presenting overweight or mild obesity. OBJECTIVE: To determine which adiposity index among BMI, WC, NC and fat mass (FM) can best predict metabolic alterations in men and women presenting severe obesity. METHODS: Anthropometric and plasma biochemical parameters were measured in 81 participants presenting severe obesity (19 men, 62 women; age: 44...
