Pancreatic fat deposition is increased and related to beta-cell function in women with familial partial lipodystrophy

Amelio F. Godoy-Matos, Cynthia M. Valerio, Rodrigo O. Moreira, Denise P. Momesso, more

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome > 2018 > 10 > 1 > 1-6

Background To study pancreatic fat deposition and beta-cell function in familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) patients. Methods In a cross-sectional study, eleven patients with FPLD, and eight healthy volunteers were matched for age and body mass index and studied at a referral center. Body composition was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and the Dixon method of magnetic resonance...

Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Search and Reviews > 2018 > 12 > 5 > 673-675

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) is an adipokine with greater expression in visceral fat and related with insulin resistance (IR). Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is also associated with IR. Our study aims to evaluate DPP4 activity in PCOS.Thirty PCOS patients were compared to 28 healthy women. Body composition by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), plasma activity of DPP4 and biochemical variables were...

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 levels are increased and partially related to body fat distribution in patients with familial partial lipodystrophy type 2

Cynthia Melissa Valerio, Juliana Severo Almeida, Rodrigo Oliveira Moreira, Luiza Barreto. S. Aguiar, more

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome > 2017 > 9 > 1 > 1-5

Background Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DDP4) is an enzyme responsible for glucagon-like peptide-1 inactivation and plays an important role in glucose metabolism. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate DPP4 levels in patients with familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2) and correlate it with body fat distribution. Methods Fourteen patients with FPLD2 were selected to participate in this...

Impact of a 6-month treatment with intragastric balloon on body composition and psychopathological profile in obese individuals with metabolic syndrome

Erika P. Guedes, Eduardo Madeira, Thiago T. Mafort, Miguel Madeira, more

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome > 2016 > 8 > 1 > 1-7

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 6-month treatment with intragastric balloon (IGB) on body composition and depressive/anxiety symptoms in obese individuals with metabolic syndrome (MS). Methods Fifty patients (aged 18–50 years) with obesity and MS were selected for treatment with IGB for 6 months. Body composition was verified with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry...

Body composition and depressive/anxiety symptoms in overweight and obese individuals with metabolic syndrome

Erika P Guedes, Eduardo Madeira, Thiago T Mafort, Miguel Madeira, more

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome > 2013 > 5 > 1 > 1-5

Background Several studies point to a correlation between obesity and the severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms in children and adults, but there are still some controversial points about this association. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between body composition and the severity of anxiety/depressive symptoms in overweight and obese individuals with Metabolic Syndrome...

Body composition study by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in familial partial lipodystrophy: finding new tools for an objective evaluation

Cynthia M Valerio, Lenita Zajdenverg, Jose Egidio P de Oliveira, Patricia B Mory, more

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome > 2012 > 4 > 1 > 1-6

Background Familial partial lipodystrophies (FPLD) are clinically heterogeneous disorders characterized by selective loss of adipose tissue, insulin resistance and metabolic complications. Until genetic studies become available for clinical practice, clinical suspicion and pattern of fat loss are the only parameters leading clinicians to consider the diagnosis. The objective of this study was to compare...

Insulin resistance in obesity and metabolic syndrome: Is there a connection with platelet l-arginine transport?

Carmen R.L. Assumpção, Tatiana M.C. Brunini, Natália R. Pereira, Amélio F. Godoy-Matos, more

Blood Cells, Molecules and Diseases > 2010 > 45 > 4 > 338-342

Nitric oxide (NO) is a short-lived gaseous messenger with multiple physiological functions including regulation of blood flow, platelet adhesion and aggregation inhibition. NO synthases (NOS) catalyze the conversion of cationic amino acid l-arginine in l-citrulline and NO. Despite an increasing prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the last decades, the exact mechanisms involved in...

Serum retinol binding protein 4 in patients with familial partial lipodystrophy

Amélio F. Godoy-Matos, Rodrigo O. Moreira, Renata MacDowell, Izidro Bendet, more

Clinical Biochemistry > 2009 > 42 > 10-11 > 1183-1186

To determine Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) levels in patients with Familial Partial Lipodystrophy (FPLD).Ten patients with FPLD and a control group (9 patients) were selected to participate in the study.RBP4-log levels were lower in patients with FPLD in comparison to control group (1.52 ± 0.32 vs 1.84±0.25, p=0.029). A statistical trend was observed between Waist-to-Hip Ratio and RBP4-log (r=-0...

Adiponectin is associated with improvement of endothelial function after rosiglitazone treatment in non-diabetic individuals with metabolic syndrome

Luciana Bahia, Luiz Guilherme K. Aguiar, Nivaldo Villela, Daniel Bottino, more

Atherosclerosis > 2007 > 195 > 1 > 138-146

The risks of metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) rely on the interaction between insulin resistance, metabolic abnormalities, inflammation and vascular dysfunction. Insulin sensitizers counteract some of these abnormalities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of rosiglitazone (ROSI) on vascular reactivity, adipokines and inflammatory markers in a group of non-diabetic subjects with MetSyn...
