硫化氢抑制小鼠胰岛素抵抗3T3-L1脂肪细胞系抵抗素的分泌

目的观察硫化氢(H2S)是否通过AMPK信号通路影响小鼠胰岛素抵抗3 T3-L1脂肪细胞系抵抗素的分泌。方法将细胞分为对照组、胰岛素抵抗3T3-L1组和50μmol/L Na HS组,利用ELISA法检测抵抗素(resistin)的分泌,Western blot检测AMP激活的蛋白激酶(AMPK)及乙酰辅酶A羧化酶(ACC)磷酸化蛋白的表达,实时荧光定量PCR(RT-PCR)检测resistin及AMPK mRNA表达。结果与对照组比较,给予Na HS后抵抗素分泌明显降低(P0.05)。正常和胰岛素抵抗细胞中AMPK和ACC磷酸化蛋白表达显著增加(P0.05)。AMPK通路特异性阻断剂compound C可减弱Na HS对AMPK及ACC蛋白磷酸化的作用,且降低正常和胰岛素抵抗细胞抵抗素的分泌。结论 H2S可能通过激活AMPK通路来抑制小鼠正常和胰岛素抵抗3 T3-L1脂肪细胞的抵抗素分泌。     

Maternal and umbilical resistin levels do not correlate with infant birth weight either in normal pregnancies and or in pregnancies complicated with gestational diabetes

Objective.?To evaluate the role of resistin in the pathophysiology of insulin resistance during pregnancy and on the birth weight of infants born from women with gestational diabetes (GDM).

Material and methods.?Thirty women diagnosed with GDM were compared to 30 normal pregnant controls. Maternal serum resistin and insulin levels were measured at the time of the oral glucose tolerance test screening. In addition, umbilical levels of resistin and insulin were measured at the time of delivery.

Results.?There was no difference in maternal serum resistin levels in women with GDM as compared to normal controls at 24–26 weeks. There was no difference in umbilical resistin levels between the infants born in the two groups. There was no correlation between infant weight and either maternal resistin at 24–26 week or umbilical resistin levels.

Conclusion.?There were no significant differences in umbilical resistin levels between infants born of women with GDM as compared to normal pregnant women. In addition, there was no correlation between resistin levels during pregnancy, as well as between umbilical resistin levels and neonatal birth weight. In conclusion, resistin seems to play a rather minor role in the pathophysiology of GDM and the energy metabolism during fetal life.

Effects of major adipokines and the −420 C > G resistin gene polymorphism on the long-term outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke

Abstract

Aim: The association between adiponectin, leptin, and resistin and the long-term outcome of ischemic stroke are controversial. We aimed to evaluate this relationship.

Methods: We prospectively studied 83 patients consecutively hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke (38.6% males, age 79.7?±?6.3?years). Serum adiponectin, leptin, and resistin levels and the ?420C?>?G polymorphism of the resistin gene were determined at admission. Stroke severity at admission was evaluated with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). One year after discharge, functional status, incidence of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality were recorded. Functional status was evaluated with the modified Rankin scale (mRS).

Results: Patients with the G allele had lower mRS (p?<?.05) and patients with adverse outcome had higher serum resistin levels (p?<?.05). The only independent predictor of adverse outcome was mRS at discharge (risk ratio (RR) 2.78, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.54–5.00; p?<?.001). Higher adiponectin levels were an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity (RR 1.07, 95% CI 1.01–1.14; p?<?.05). Patients who died had higher serum adiponectin levels than those who survived (p?<?.05). The only independent predictor of all-cause mortality was NIHSS at admission (RR 1.19, 95% CI 1.04–1.35; p?<?.01).

Conclusions: In patients with acute ischemic stroke, the G allele of the ?420C?>?G polymorphism of the resistin gene promoter is more frequent in those with a more favorable functional outcome at one year after discharge. Patients with higher serum resistin levels appear to have worse long-term functional outcome, while higher serum adiponectin levels are associated with higher incidence of cardiovascular events.     

The Associations of Body Image Perception with Serum Resistin Levels in Highly Trained Adolescent Estonian Rhythmic Gymnasts

Rhythmic gymnasts (RGs) are more likely to be dissatisfied with their body mass and shape compared to untrained controls (UCs). However, due to the lack of information, the aim of this study was to investigate the associations of body image perception (BIP) with body composition, daily energy consumption and different blood biochemical markers in adolescent RGs compared to UCs. Thirty-three highly trained RG girls and 20 UC girls aged 14–18 years participated in this cross-sectional study. Height, body mass, body composition, energy intake, resting energy expenditure, training volume and different blood biochemical markers were measured. The body attitude test (BAT) was used to evaluate the BIP of the participants. There were no differences in the total BAT scores between the groups. In RGs, the BAT score correlated positively with the serum resistin level (r = 0.35; p = 0.047). A stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that 40.8% of the variability in the BAT score was determined by resistin and BMI. The association of BIP with resistin values was observed only in RGs. In conclusion, our findings add to the increasing evidence that resistin may be a link between BIP and body composition, most likely through fat mass, in adolescent female RGs.     

妊娠期糖尿病患者血浆抵抗素水平与新生儿结局的研究
