Fifteen premenopausal women were studied before and 6 weeks after receiving subcutaneous implants of 100 mg estradiol. Serum estradiol levels doubled; increases were also seen in fasting serum total cholesterol and in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL). This increase was confined to the HDL2 subfraction, and was not reflected in the HDL apolipoproteins. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels were unchanged, as were those of apolipoprotein B, the major protein component of LDL. Carbohydrate metabolism was assessed in a subgroup of 12 women. Estrogen implantation reduced fasting plasma glucose levels but did not alter the plasma glucose response to an oral glucose tolerance test. Plasma insulin levels were unchanged both in the fasted state and during the glucose tolerance test. Our findings indicate that parenteral administration of estradiol can alter lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in premenopausal women. 相似文献

Optimizing insulin sensitivity assessment using the minimal model in chronic heart failure. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BACKGROUND: Minimal model analysis of the intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) has been used successfully to demonstrate that patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are insulin-resistant. Continuing experience in minimal model methodology has raised questions about how best to assign basal glucose concentrations during such analyses. METHODS AND RESULTS: IVGTT data from randomly selected patients with CHF (n = 15) and controls (n = 15) were analysed using the minimal model, with the basal glucose concentration (G (b)) assigned the value of fasting plasma glucose concentration (G (fast)), or the value of plasma glucose concentration 180 minutes after the start of the IVGTT (G (180)). Insulin sensitivity (S (I)) was significantly higher with G (b) = G (fast), than with G (b) = G (180) (controls: 5.60 +/- 0.78 vs. 3.36 +/- 0.25/min/muU/ml x 10 (4), p = 0.0017; patients 4.19 +/- 0.54 vs. 2.36 +/- 0.15/min/microU/ml x 10 (4), p = 0.0004). At G (b) = G (fast), CHF patients showed a non-significant 25 % reduction in S (I) in comparison to controls (p = 0.15). In contrast, at G (b) = G (180), CHF patients showed a significant 30 % reduction of S (I) in comparison to controls (p = 0.0018). S (I) estimates derived at G (b) = G (fast) exhibited twice the variability of those estimated using G (b) = G (180) (coefficients of variation of S (I) in patients with CHF were 50.0 % and 24.8 %, respectively). CONCLUSION: In studies of patients with CHF, greater precision and discriminatory power of insulin sensitivity estimates is obtained when the basal glucose concentration is taken as the plasma glucose concentration 180 minutes after the start of the IVGTT. 相似文献

The emergence of multidrug-resistant strain of community-acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) strain
has highlighted the urgent need for the alternative and effective therapeutic approach to combat the menace of this nosocomial
pathogen. In the present work novel potential therapeutic drug targets have been identified through the metabolic pathways
analysis. All the gene products involved in different metabolic pathways of CA-MRSA in KEGG database were searched against
the proteome of Homo sapiens using the BLASTp program and the threshold of E-value was set to as 0.001. After database
searching, 152 putative targets were identified. Among all 152 putative targets, 39 genes encoding for putative targets were
identified as the essential genes from the DEG database which are indispensable for the survival of CA-MRSA. After extensive
literature review, 7 targets were identified as potential therapeutic drug target. These targets are Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase,
Phosphoglyceromutase, Purine nucleoside phosphorylase, Uridylate kinase, Tryptophan synthase subunit beta, Acetate kinase and
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase. Except Uridylate kinase all the identified targets were involved in more than
one metabolic pathways of CA-MRSA which underlines the importance of drug targets. These potential therapeutic drug targets
can be exploited for the discovery of novel inhibitors for CA-MRSA using the structure based drug design (SBDD) strategy. 相似文献

Separation of lipoproteins by traditional sequential salt density floatation is a prolonged process ( approximately 72 h) with variable recovery, whereas iodixanol-based, self-generating density gradients provide a rapid ( approximately 4 h) alternative. A novel, three-layered iodixanol gradient was evaluated for its ability to separate lipoprotein fractions in 63 subjects with varying degrees of dyslipidemia. Lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoproteins were measured in 21 successive iodixanol density fractions. Iodixanol fractionation was compared with sequential floatation ultracentrifugation. Iodixanol gradient formation showed a coefficient of variation of 0.29% and total lipid recovery from the gradient of 95.4% for cholesterol and 84.7% for triglyceride. Recoveries for VLDL-, LDL-, and HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoproteins were approximately 10% higher with iodixanol compared with sequential floatation. The iodixanol gradient effectively discriminated classic lipoproteins and their subfractions, and there was evidence for improved resolution of lipoproteins with the iodixanol gradient. LDL particles subfractionated by the gradient showed good correlation between density and particle size with small, dense LDL (<25.5 nm) separated in fractions with density >1.028 g/dl. The new iodixanol density gradient enabled rapid separation with improved resolution and recovery of all lipoproteins and their subfractions, providing important information with regard to LDL phenotype from a single centrifugation step with minimal in-vitro modification of lipoproteins. 相似文献

Although there is now substantial evidence linking low birthweight with impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes in adult life, the extent to which reduced fetal growth is associated with impaired insulin sensitivity, defective insulin secretion, or a combination of both factors is not clear. We have therefore examined the relationships between birth size and both insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion as assessed by an intravenous glucose tolerance test with minimal model analysis in 163 men and women, aged 20 yr, born at term in Adelaide, South Australia. Birth size did not correlate with body mass index or fat distribution in men or women. Men who were lighter or shorter as babies were less insulin sensitive (P = 0.03 and P = 0.01, respectively), independently of their body mass index or body fat distribution. They also had higher insulin secretion (P = 0.007 and P = 0.006) and increased glucose effectiveness (P = 0.003 and P = 0.003). Overall glucose tolerance, however, did not correlate with birth size, suggesting that the reduced insulin sensitivity was being compensated for by an increase in insulin secretion and insulin-independent glucose disposal. There were no relationships between birth size and insulin sensitivity or insulin secretion in women. These results show that small size at birth is associated with increased insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia in young adult life but that these relationships are restricted to the male gender in this age group. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Leptin, an important hormonal regulator of body weight, has been shown to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in vitro although the physiological relevance remains unclear. Increased SNS activity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and an increased cardiovascular risk. We have therefore investigated the relationship between leptin, insulin resistance and cardiac autonomic activity in healthy young adults. 130 healthy men and women age 20.9 years were studied. Insulin sensitivity was assessed using the IVGTT and minimal model with simultaneous measures of leptin. Cardiac autonomic activity was assessed using spectral analysis of heart rate variability. RESULTS: Women showed significantly higher fasting leptin, heart rate and cardiac sympathetic activity, and lower insulin sensitivity. Men showed inverse correlations between insulin resistance and heart rate, and between insulin resistance and cardiac sympatho-vagal ratio. Women, in contrast, showed no SNS relationship with insulin resistance, but rather an inverse correlation between leptin and the sympatho-vagal ratio, suggesting that leptin in women is associated with SNS activity. The correlation remained significant after adjustment for BMI and waist-to-hip ratio (beta=-0.33 and p=0.008). CONCLUSION: Insulin resistance and SNS activity appear to be linked, although the relationship showed marked gender differences, and the direction of causality was unclear from this cross-sectional study. Leptin appears to exert a greater effect on the SNS in women, possibly because of their greater fat mass. 相似文献
