1. The relationship between circulating irisin, retinol binding protein-4, adiponectin and inflammatory mediators in patients with metabolic syndrome
ABSTRACT Objective We wanted to investigate whether there is a relationship between circulating irisin, retinol binding protein-4 (RBP-4), adiponectin and proinflammatory mediators implicated in the development of insulin resistance (IR) in metabolic syndrome (MetS). Subjects and methods In 180 individuals, including controls and patients with MetS, we m

2. The impact of metabolic syndrome on metabolic, pro-inflammatory and prothrombotic markers according to the presence of high blood pressure criterion
OBJECTIVES: We explored whether high blood pressure is associated with metabolic, inflammatory and prothrombotic dysregulation in patients with metabolic syndrome. METHODS: We evaluated 135 consecutive overweight/obese patients. From this group, we selected 75 patients who were not under the regular use of medications for metabolic syndrome as defined by

3. Níveis séricos da proteína carreadora do retinol 4 e risco cardiovascular no diabetes mellitus tipo 2 / Serum levels of retinol-binding protein 4 and cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Objectives: to evaluate the levels of serum RBP4 in premenopausal obese diabetic patients compared with nondiabetic patients. To evaluate the correlation between serum RBP4 with well-established markers of IR and MS. Compare between groups the percentage of body fat (% BF) and thickness of carotid intima-media (CIMT), checking the influence of T2DM into grou

4. Os níveis plasmáticos da retinol binding protein 4 (rbP4) não estão reduzidos na lipodistrofia congênita generalizada: uma série de casos
INTRODUÇÃO: Estudos prévios sugeriram que os níveis plasmáticos da retinol binding protein (RBP4), uma proteína do tecido adiposo, estão associados com a resistência à insulina (RI). A lipodistrofia congênita generalizada (LCG) é uma doença rara caracterizada por ausência de tecido adiposo e RI. O objetivo é determinar os níveis de RBP4 em pac

5. Obesidade e diabetes : contribuição de processos inflamatórios e adipocitocinas, e a potencial importância de fatores nutricionais
A transição nutricional, caracterizada pela alteração nos padrões dietéticos e do estado nutricional que se associa às doenças crônicas, como diabetes e doenças cardiovasculares, está rapidamente mudando o enfoque do nutricionista de saúde pública de problemas de carência para também os de excesso de nutrientes. Obesidade se tornou uma priorid

6. Interaction between estrogen receptor and retinol-binding protein-4 polymorphisms as a tool for the selection of prolific pigs
The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of the estrogen receptor (ER-PvuII) and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4-MspI) gene polymorphisms and their interactions with prolificacy in a commercial synthetic pig line reared in Brazil. A total of 10,374 piglet records from 218 sows and 817 litters were used for litter size analysis. Only fe

7. Consumo dietÃtico de ferro como fator preditivo das reservas corporais do mineral, transferrinemia e eritropoiese em prÃ-escolares de creches pÃblicas do Recife-PE
Backgound: Iron deficiency and its consequent anaemia is a major public health concern worldwide, affecting mainly children. Dietary factors seem to play an important role on the genesis of anaemia. Objective: to assess dietary iron intake and enhancers and inhibitors of iron bioavailability, as a predictor of iron status among preschoolers attending public

8. Níveis séricos, filtração e reabsorção renal do Fas solúvel (sFas) em indivíduos saudáveis e pacientes com Doença Renal Crônica. / Soluble Fas (sFas) and Renal Function
Increased serum soluble levels of Fas (sFas) have been reported in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We sought to quantify the renal Clearance of sFas in healthy subjects and patients with CKD, to investigate whether sFas is reabsorbed after filtration and to investigate whether there is an increased synthesis of sFas. We studied 69 patients with C

9. Rat cellular retinol-binding protein: cDNA sequence and rapid retinol-dependent accumulation of mRNA.
Cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP) may be an important mediator of vitamin A action. We report here the identification of a cDNA clone corresponding to the rat CRBP gene. The cDNA is 695 nucleotides long, with an open reading frame corresponding to a protein of 134 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence is identical with that of rat CRBP. The nucl

10. In Vitro Binding of Retinol to Rat-Tissue Components
The high-speed supernatant fraction of rat liver, lung, kidney, testis, and intestinal mucosa contains a component capable of binding [3H]retinol in vitro when binding is analyzed by sucrose density gradient centrifugation or gel filtration. This binding component can be distinguished from one identified in rat serum. Whereas the tissue component sediments i

11. Retinol-binding protein: the transport protein for vitamin A in human plasma
Vitamin A circulates in human plasma as retinol bound to a specific transport protein. This protein differs from the known low and high density plasma lipoproteins and has a hydrated density greater than 1.21. In order to study this protein, volunteers were injected intravenously with retinol-15-14C. Plasma was collected 1-3 days later, and the purification

12. Gecko ι-crystallin: How cellular retinol-binding protein became an eye lens ultraviolet filter
Eye lenses of various diurnal geckos contain up to 12% ι-crystallin. This protein is related to cellular retinol-binding protein type I (CRBP I) but has 3,4-didehydroretinol, rather than retinol, as a ligand. The 3,4-didehydroretinol gives the lens a yellow color, thus protecting the retina by absorbing short-wave radiation. ι-Crystallin could be either th
