Adiponectin gene variants, adiponectin isoforms and cardiometabolic risk in t…

Aims/Introduction: The aim of the present study was to examine the associations of rs2241766 (+45T>G), rs1501299 (+276G>T), rs17300539 (-11391G>A) and rs182052 (-10069G>A) in the adiponectin (Ad) gene with adiponectin concentrations, and concomitantly the association of these variants with cardiometabolic risk in type 2 diabetic patients of African ancestry. Materials and Methods: A cross-secti…

Role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma gene polymorphisms i…

Aims/Introduction: Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARG) is a nuclear hormone receptor of the ligand-dependent transcription factor involved in adipogenesis, and a molecular target of the insulin sensitizer, thiazolidinediones. The present study aimed to investigate whether the PPARG gene is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and its related traits within the population…

Dietary intake in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes: Analysis from Japan…

Aims/Introduction: Though there are many differences in dietary habits and in the metabolic basis between Western and Asian people, the actual dietary intake in Asian patients with diabetes has not been investigated in a nationwide setting, unlike in Western countries. We aimed to clarify dietary intake among Japanese individuals with type 2 diabetes, and identify differences in dietary intake …

Prevalences of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy are lower in Korean type …

Aims/Introduction: The associations between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and chronic vascular complications of type 2 diabetes remain uncertain. We assessed the relationships between NAFLD and chronic vascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes (n = 929) attending a diabetes clinic of a university hospital were studi…

Trends in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes in community-dwel…

Aims/Introduction: We examined secular trends in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes in community-dwelling Japanese subjects. Materials and Methods: A total of 2,490 subjects in 1988 and 2,852 subjects in 2002 aged 40–79 years underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, and their glucose tolerance status was defined by the 1998 World Health Organization criteria. Results: The …

Injection of Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota affects autonomic nerve activ…

Aims/Introduction: Previously, it was observed that long-term ingestion of a probiotic strain Lactobacillus casei Shirota (LcS) ameliorates insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in rats fed a high-fat diet. In the present study, we examined its possible role in the autonomic nervous system during LcS-induced modulations in glucose and lipid metabolism or cardiovascular functions. Material…
