To compare the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and related clinical characteristics between metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) and metabolically healthy obese (MHO) women of reproductive age.Cross-sectional clinical study.Tertiary hospital.We studied 299 MUO and 122 MHO Chinese women matched on body mass index. Metabolically healthy obese was defined as obesity with no more than one...
Adipocyte and epidermal fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP, E-FABP) are cytoplasmic proteins which may play an important role in metabolic diseases. In the present study, we investigated the different association of A-FABP and E-FABP with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) in Chinese adults.A total of 459 subjects (233 MetS and 226 non-MetS) who had undergone coronary angiography...
It has long been proposed that elevation of liver enzymes including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) may be associated with insulin resistance (IR). In the present study, we aimed to investigate the association of the above mentioned liver enzymes with IR by using hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp, as well as their relationship with individual...
The clinical use of criteria for metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its individual components with respect to risk prediction of coronary heart disease (CHD) remains uncertain. In this study, we investigated whether and to what extent MetS and its individual components were related to risk for CHD. A total of 1,028 subjects, who had undergone coronary angiography or were diagnosed as acute myocardial infarction,...
