...; thus, it may contribute to metabolic syndrome. Polymorphisms in alpha-2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein ( AHSG ), the gene which codes FetA, may influence metabolic syndrome progression in higher-risk ethnic groups. We aimed to identify whether individual variation in AHSG influences biomarkers...

... with body weight, insulin resistance, serum adipokine levels, and risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods: A population of 1,005 obese patients was analyzed in a cross-sectional survey. Weight, fat mass, waist circumference, blood pressure, basal glucose, C-reactive protein, insulin, insulin resistance...

... with the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods: Twenty-six men with the MetS first consumed a standardized baseline North American isoenergetic control diet (5 weeks) and then consumed an isoenergetic MedDiet (5 weeks), both in full feeding condition. The HDL fraction was isolated by ultracentrifugation at the end...

...Leah C. Solberg Woods; Brett C. Woods; Caroline M. Leitschuh; Sonia J. Laurie; Howard J. Jacob Background/Aims: Recent studies have highlighted the importance of gene by diet interactions in contributing to risk factors of metabolic syndrome. We used a consomic rat panel, in which a chromosome...

... < 0.001, respectively; adjusted for BMI and adipocyte cell size). Conclusions: Altogether, FTO expression appeared not to have a well-defined impact on clinical or biochemical parameters comprising the metabolic syndrome. The correlations with the genes related to hypoxia and cell death suggest novel...

... is responsible for most of the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and metabolism. Therefore, it plays an important role in the development of insulin resistance, one of the characteristics of the metabolic syndrome (MS). As the prevalence of the MS is increasing, there is an urgent need for more effective...

...Catherine M. Phillips; Audrey C. Tierney; Helen M. Roche The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a very common disease associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. The diverse clinical characteristics of the MetS illustrate the complexity of the disease process...

.... Ever so steadily, this condition begins to manifest itself as progressive insulin resistance and thus ensues a myriad of other chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, which all fall into the realm of the metabolic syndrome. To offset imbalances in nutrient...
