Change in abdominal, but not femoral subcutaneous fat CT-radiodensity is associated with improved metabolic profile after bariatric surgery
Background and aims: Computed tomography (CT)-derived adipose tissue radiodensity represents a potential noninvasive surrogate marker for lipid deposition and obesity-related metabolic disease risk. We studied the effects ...
Basal and cold-induced fatty acid uptake of human brown adipose tissue is impaired in obesity
<p>atty acids (FA) are important substrates for brown adipose tissue (BAT)
metabolism, however, it remains unclear whether there exists a
difference in FA metabolism of BAT between lean and obese healthy
humans. In ...
Intensity of F-18-FDG PET Uptake in Culture-Negative and Culture-Positive Cases of Chronic Osteomyelitis
Microbiologic cultures are not infrequently negative in patients with a histopathologic diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis. Culture-negative cases may represent low-grade infections with a lower metabolic activity than ...
Brain substrate metabolism and ß-cell function in humans: A positron emission tomography study
<p>Aims</p><p>Recent clinical studies have shown enhanced brain glucose uptake during clamp and brain fatty acid uptake in insulin‐resistant individuals. Preclinical studies suggest that the brain may be involved in the ...
Midlife insulin resistance, APOE genotype, and late-life brain amyloid accumulation
ObjectiveTo examine whether midlife insulin resistance is an independent risk factor for brain amyloid accumulation in vivo after 15 years, and whether this risk is modulated by APOE epsilon 4 genotype.MethodsThis observational ...
miR-125b affects mitochondrial biogenesis and impairs brite adipocyte formation and function
Objective: In rodents and humans, besides brown adipose tissue (BAT), islands of thermogenic adipocytes, termed "brite" (brown-in-white) or beige adipocytes, emerge within white adipose tissue (WAT) after cold exposure or ...
No relevant midbrain atrophy in Parkinson's disease
<p>Aims of the study - To investigate whether significant midbrain atrophy is present in Parkinson's disease (PD), and if so, whether it can be used as a marker of striatal dopaminergic degeneration. Methods - In total, ...
Brain glucose uptake is associated with endogenous glucose production in obese patients before and after bariatric surgery and predicts metabolic outcome at follow-up
<p>Aims: To investigate further the finding that insulin enhances brain
glucose uptake (BGU) in obese but not in lean people by combining BGU
with measures of endogenous glucose production (EGP), and to explore the
...
Accuracy of echocardiographic area-length method in chronic myocardial infarction: comparison with cardiac CT in pigs
Background: We evaluated echocardiographic area-length methods to measure left ventricle (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) in parasternal short axis views in comparison with cardiac computed tomography (CT) in pigs ...
