In the obese state, as adipose tissue expands, adipocytes become hypoxic and dysfunctional, leading to changes in the pattern of adipocyte‐secreted proteins. To better understand the role of hypoxia in the mechanisms linked to obesity, we comparatively analyzed the secretome of murine differentiated 3T3‐L1 adipocytes exposed to normoxia or hypoxia for 24 h. Proteins secreted into the culture media...

Bilotta, Biagio Arcidiacono, Sebastiano Messineo, Marta Greco, Eusebio Chiefari, Domenico Britti, Tomoko Nakanishi, Daniela P.

Purpose The forkhead transcription factor (FoxO1) is a master transcriptional regulator of fundamental cellular processes ranging from cell proliferation and differentiation to inflammation and metabolism. However, despite its relevance, the mechanism(s) underlying FoxO1 gene regulation are largely unknown. We have previously shown that the chromatin factor high-mobility group A1 (HMGA1) plays a key...
Purpose In the last few years, bone has been recognized as an endocrine organ that modulates glucose metabolism by secretion of osteocalcin, an osteoblast-specific hormone, that influences fat deposition and blood sugar levels. To date, however, very few in vitro models have been developed to investigate, at the molecular levels, the relationship between glucose, insulin and osteocalcin. This study...
Summary New therapeutic treatments that employ biological drugs are gradually more used in chronic, degenerative, progressive and oncological diseases. The personalized therapy is mandatory in an increasing number of patients, and thus the beneficial or adverse effects, as well as the evolution of the disease in each single patient, have to be evaluated and monitored by efficacious laboratory...
To determine the prevalence of both prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by postpartum oral glucose tolerance test (ppOGTT) in Italian women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and identify antepartum predictors of glucose intolerance.Retrospective study of 454 Caucasian women that underwent a 75g OGTT between 6 and 12 weeks postpartum in Calabria (Southern Italy) between...
