Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy
Despite the improvements in clinical care of the patients, research updates, and public health interventions, there is still an increase in the prevalence, incidence, and mortality because of diabetes mellitus (DM). DM is a public health problem in both developed and developing countries. It has increased alarmingly, putting this disease in the dim...

The cellular distribution of ghrelin positive cells is not well defined. The aim of the study is to quantify and determine the distribution of ghrelin cells in gastric mucosa in patients with morbid obesity and relate this finding to gender, comorbidities, gastritis, and plasmatic levels of acyl and desacylghrelin before and after laparoscopic slee...

Obesity is reported to be associated with oxidative stress which can cause lipid peroxidation. However, the effects of gain in various weight-related anthropometric indices on lipid peroxidation remain unclear. We aimed to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between altered weight-related anthropometric indices and a marker of...

The renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) is a hormone system known for its role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance. Numerous RAAS inhibitors routinely prescribed for hypertension have also beneficial effects in type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention. RAAS components are expressed locally in many tissues, including adipose tissue and pa...

It has been suggested that hypertriglyceridemic waist (HW) phenotype is strongly associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS); however, there are very limited studies integrating triglyceride (TG) and waist circumference (WC) into a continuous variable to investigate the predictive power of this phenotype. Inspired from the triglyceride glucose index ...

The current study aimed to apply the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) method for investigating the spontaneous brain activity alterations and their relationships with clinical features in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). In total, 35 patients with DR (18 males and 17 females) and 38 healthy control (HC) subjects (18 males and 2...

According to the rising prevalence of obesity and metabolic disorders leading to impaired glucose metabolism, effective strategies to prevent and/or delay the onset of disease are of great need. A plant-based diet has been suggested as an effective lifestyle change that may reduce the degree of obesity and improve outcomes related to glucose metabo...

Dyslipidemia is claimed to be associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, first-degree relatives (FDRs) of patients with T2DM are reported to be at higher risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between serum lipid profile and T2DM incidence in FDRs. Information on 1222 T2DM FDRs during 14 year...

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with many adverse obstetric outcomes and neonatal outcomes, including preeclampsia, Cesarean section, and macrosomia. Active screening and early diabetes control can reduce the occurrence of adverse outcomes. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) only reflects average blood glucose levels, but not glycemi...
