Abstract:
Leptin acts within the brain to increase resting metabolic rate (RMR) and blood pressure (BP). The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) elicits similar effects in the brain, as reviewed in chapter 1, and it has previously been shown that central angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors are required for leptin-mediated inductions in sympathetic nerve activity to the brown adipose tissue. Thus, we hypothesize that the brain RAS mediates the metabolic effects of leptin. To investigate the interaction between the RAS and leptin, we generated the AT1ALepR-KO mouse which lacks the AT1A receptor in leptin-sen

Abstract:
Background and Aims: The interleukin 18 (IL-18) system consists of a proinflammatory cytokine (IL-18), a naturally occurring inhibitor (IL-18BP), and a dimeric receptor. IL-18 has been implicated in many autoimmune conditions, with elevated plasma levels predicting future risk of heart disease in healthy individuals. IL-18 also appears to have metabolic consequences, with IL18 -/- mice having higher bodyweight, attributable to increased feeding. The central hypothesis of this work was that genetic variation within both IL-18 and IL-18BP, that influenced their circulating levels, would be assoc

Abstract:
Obesity is closely related to many medical complications such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart failure. Obesity and other factors, including elevated blood glucose levels, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, constitute a constellation of symptoms known as the metabolic syndrome, which are the risk factors for coronary artery disease. Lipocalin-2 is a pro-inflammatory adipokine causally involved in the development of obesity-associated metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Recent clinical and experimental evidences demonstrate an association between augmented circulating lipocali

Abstract:
Obesity has reached worldwide epidemic proportions and with this increased incidence of obesity, comes an increase in incidence of the comorbidities associated with obesity such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The underlying mechanisms which connect these diseases are still poorly understood. One system which has been shown to be up-regulated in the setting of obesity and diabetes is that of the G-protein coupled receptor-55/Lysophosphatidylinositol (GPR55/LPI). Despite being upregulated in the setting of obesity, the function of GPR55 in obesity and other disease states remains

Endothelial cells differ in structure and function, therefore endothelial heterogeneity may be relevant when investigating endothelial function

Abstract:
Expansion of visceral adipose tissue correlates with the metabolic syndrome and increased cardiovascular risk. Hypertrophied visceral fat becomes inflamed, causing increased lipolysis, decreased triglyceride storage, and lipotoxicity in skeletal muscle and liver resulting in insulin resistance. Perivascular adipose tissue is a normal component of the adventitia of arteries in humans and animals. Whether or not perivascular adipose also becomes inflamed in obesity is an important question, as this may be an additional, direct mechanism by which obesity causes vascular inflammation and disease.

Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder affecting reproductive aged women, with reproductive, metabolic and cardiovascular implications across the life span. The typical features of PCOS include irregular menstruation, androgen excess and polycystic ovaries in ultrasonography. The majority of women with PCOS are overweight or obese, and, at least partly, obesity-driven metabolic abnormalities often coexist with PCOS. Despite intensive research, it has remained unclear whether PCOS per se is a risk factor of metabolic abnormalities, and cardiovascular dis

Abstract:
Obesity is a major epidemic and is increasing in prevalence worldwide. The health problems and consequences of obesity include cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus. Each of these abnormalities directly promotes atherosclerosis. More recently, visceral obesity has been shown to be independently associated with abnormalities of both the ventricular and vascular structure and function. The mechanisms by which they occur remain incompletely defined. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) offers several a

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>Factors released from coronary perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), which surrounds large coronary arteries, have been implicated in the development of coronary disease. However, the precise contribution of coronary PVAT-derived factors to the initiation and progression of coronary vascular dysfunction remains ill defined. Accordingly, this investigation was designed to delineate the mechanisms by which PVAT-derived factors influence obesity-induced coronary smooth muscle dysfunction.

Η αύξηση του σωματικού βάρους και η παχυσαρκία αντιπροσωπεύουν μία ραγδαία αναπτυσσόμενη απειλή για την υγεία του πληθυσμού που επηρεάζει χώρες σε όλα τα γεωγραφικά μήκη και πλάτη, κατά μείζονα λόγο τις χώρες του αναπτυγμένου κόσμου και λιγότερο τις αναπτυσσόμενες, και αποτελεί μείζονα πηγή ανησυχίας για τους ασθενείς, τους παροχείς υγείας, τα εμπλεκόμενα στο σύστημα υγείας άτομα και τις κατά τόπου ρυθμιστικές υγειονομικές αρχές. Πράγματι πλέον στις ημέρες μας η παχυσαρκία είναι τόσο συχνό πρόβλημα που πιο κλασικές νοσηρές καταστάσεις όπως ο υποσιτισμός και τα λοιμώδη νοσήματα χάνουν τον π

Abstract:
目的：針對心血管初級預防，世界各國均推薦某一年齡段人群全部測量膽固醇以估算心血管病發病風險。此舉耗費高且非必須，本研究旨在建立並驗證一個新型的选择性膽固醇篩查模型，用以篩查需藥物治療之高危人群，并在成本效益方面與其它篩查模型相比較。<br>方法：本模型具體采用兩步法：首先利用一個足夠高的假設膽固醇值代入心血管病風險預測方程，用以系統性的高估絶大多數人的心血管病風險；其次只有假設心血管病風險高於推薦治療閾值時，該個體才需要測量膽固醇，並進行實際心血管病風險分析。<br>英国健康调查和中国营养与健康调查是本次研究的合适数据。我們首先探索最優的假設膽固醇值，尋找到最後膽固醇值之後，我們將繼續測試我們的新型膽固醇篩查模型，在不同的治療閾值下，表現是否穩定。我們以靈敏度，特異度和徐篩查人群為指標，比較我們模型與全民篩查模型和英國NICE 選擇篩查模型相比較。之後我們估算在中英人群中應用該篩查模型，所需耗費的成本和可預防心血管事件數。<br>结果：與全名篩查模型相比，我們的模型靈敏度相若但可以節省80%左右的篩查費用。模型的靈敏度主要取決於所採用的假設膽固醇值，與所用風險預測方程，治療閾值和人群心血管風險分佈無關。當以均數加2 倍標準差作為假設膽固醇值時，靈敏度可達到97.5%左右，特異度可以達到90%左右，符合預期。模型應用於中國人群得到的結果類似。值得註意的是，在中國人群中，即使不測量膽固
