JCI - Chronic inflammation in fat plays a crucial role in the development of obesity-re... - 0 views

  •  
    how inflammation contributes to obesity.  Nice discussion of the inflammatory signaling that leads to obesity.  This occurs predominately in white adipose tissue WAT.  This leads to insulin resistance and type II DM.

Extra energie tegen vermoeidheid - 0 views

  •  
    Lang niet iedereen reageert niet even enthousiast over de komst van de lente. Ruim 500000 landgenoten kampen in het vroege voorjaar met lentemoeheid en ernstig energietekort. Wat zijn de oorzaken van voorjaarsmoeheid en tekort aan energie en hoe kun je er aan verhelpen? Kunnen extra vitaminen of voedingssupplementen je helpen ontwaken uit je winterslaap om met volle teugen te genieten van het deugddoende buitenleven?

Vakantie in zicht: waa op letten bij huur to? - 0 views

  •  
    Met de zomervakantie in zicht, ligt bij de meerderheid van onze landgenoten hun vakantiebestemming ongetwijfeld al geruime tijd vast. Maar hoe is het gesteld met het huren van een auto op onze toekomstige vakantiebestemming? Welk prijskaartje hangt er aan vast, en op wat moeten we zeker letten willen we tijdens onze vakantie voor geen onoverkomenlijke hindernissen worden geplaatst?

Soep en extra hyghiëne helpen tegen verkoudheden - 0 views

  •  
    Met de start van het nieuwe schooljaar begint meteen ook een nieuw nies en snotterseizoen. Inderdaad, het duurt niet langer dan twee weken of onze hartediefjes komen met hun eerste, maar lang niet de laatste verkoudheid naar huis. Eens de virussen en bacteriën binnenskamers, nestelen ze er zich meestal voor een ganse winter. Het aantal hoesters, niezers en snottebellen zal de komende weken en maanden angstaanjagend stijgen, om tijdens de eindejaarsfeesten naar een hoogtepunt te klimmen. Is er dan niets tegen verkoudheden opgewassen? Wat kunnen we zélf ondernemen om van deze vervelende verkoudheden gespaard te blijven? Kunnen we ons wel wapenen tegen verkoudheden?

Gut microbiota after gastric bypass in human obesity: increased richness and associatio... - 0 views

  •  
    Not that I am proposing gastric bypass for weight loss.  IN my mind that is like a lobotomy for headache.  But, this study shows the link between gut bacteria and obesity.  This study documented an increase in the expression of certain bacteria types in the gut.   This was associated with increase in white adipose tissue gene expression.  Linking directly the gut and fat.

A PGC1-[agr]-dependent myokine that drives brown-fat-like development of white fat and ... - 0 views

  •  
    Irisin, new recognized hormone, found to stimulate PGC1-alpha conversion of white fat to brown fat.  This increases thermogenesis and fat burning.

  •  
    chronic low-grade inflammation plays role in development of insulin resistance and eventually obesity.  This occurs in White Adipose Tissue

Obesity is associated with macrophage accumulation in adipose tissue - 0 views

  •  
    obesity is associated with dysfunctional immune response to adipose tissue.  The cause is inflammation from White adipose tissue resultant in increased recruitment of macrophages and resultant further inflammation.  M1 macrophages are the predominate culprit.

PPARs, Obesity, and Inflammation - 0 views

  • increase of 61% within 10 years
  • Many of the inflammatory markers found in plasma of obese individuals appear to originate from adipose tissue
  • obesity is a state of chronic low-grade inflammation that is initiated by morphological changes in the adipose tissue.
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • secretion of MCP-1, resistin, and other proinflammatory cytokines is increased by obesity, the adipose secretion of the anti-inflammatory protein adiponectin is decreased
  • the peroxisome proliferators- activated receptor (PPAR) family are involved in the regulation of inflammation and energy homestasis
  • natural agonists, including unsaturated fatty acids and eicosanoids
  • PPARα also regulates inflammatory processes, mainly by inhibiting inflammatory gene expression
  • upregulation of COX-2 is seen in alcoholic steatohepatitis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and has been directly linked to the progression of steatosis to steatohepatitis, the inhibitory effect of PPARα on COX-2 may reduce steatohepatitis
  • PPARα agonists have a clear anorexic effect resulting in decreased food intake, evidence is accumulating that PPARα may also directly influence adipose tissue function, including its inflammatory status.
  • PPARα may govern adipose tissue inflammation in three different ways: (1) by decreasing adipocyte hypertrophy, which is known to be connected with a higher inflammatory status of the tissue [3, 11, 59], (2) by direct regulation of inflammatory gene expression via locally expressed PPARα, or (3) by systemic events likely originating from liver
  • PPARγ is considered the master regulator of adipogenesis
  • Unsaturated fatty acids and several eicosanoids serve as endogenous agonists of PPARγ
  • PPARγ2, which is adipose-tissue specific
  • two different molecular mechanisms have been proposed by which anti-inflammatory actions of PPARγ are effectuated: (1) via interference with proinflammatory transcription factors including STAT, NF-κB, and AP-1
  • and (2) by preventing removal of corepressor complexes from gene promoter regions resulting in suppression of inflammatory gene transcription
  • diet-induced obesity is associated with increased inflammatory gene expression in adipose tissue via adipocyte hypertrophy and macrophage infiltration
  • PPARγ is able to reverse macrophage infiltration, and subsequently reduces inflammatory gene expression
  • Inflammatory adipokines mainly originate from macrophages which are part of the stromal vascular fraction of adipose tissue [18, 19], and accordingly, the downregulation of inflammatory adipokines in WAT by PPARγ probably occurs via effects on macrophages
  • By interfering with NF-κB signaling pathways, PPARγ is known to decrease inflammation in activated macrophages
  • Recent data suggest that activation of PPARγ in fatty liver may protect against inflammation
  • PPARs may influence the inflammatory response either by direct transcriptional downregulation of proinflammatory genes
  • anti-inflammatory properties of PPARs in human obesity
  •  
    PPARs play pivotal in obesity.  PPARs appear to reduce the inflammatory cascade associated with obesity.  Downregulation of PPARs are associated with increased inflammation.  Natural PPARs include unsaturated fats and eicosanoids.
