Heart Disease Biomarkers in Diabetes Research
Introduction
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses a constellation of diseases related to the heart and circulatory system. Despite efforts to understand and combat CVD complications from diabetes, 65% of diabetics will pass away from cardiovascular issues1. Part 2 of The Common Denominator eBoo...
Emerging Biomarker Research in NAFLD and NASH
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming the most common chronic liver disease in the western hemisphere affecting 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 10 children1. Today, liver biopsies are the only gold standard for precise diagnosis of NAFLD2. Because of this, there are tremendous efforts on the ...
Obesity Induced Adipose Tissue Dysfunction and NAFLD
Obesity is a known risk factor for developing metabolic diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)1. An increasing amount of evidence shows that obesity induced adipose tissue dysfunction and NAFLD development are closely related2. Obesity induced changes to adipokine secretion can h...
Researching the Role of Gut Permeability in NAFLD
[playlist images="false" artists="false" tracklist="false" ids="4600"]
A growing amount of research demonstrates that communication between the gut microbiota and liver is vital for the regulation of energy metabolism1,2. As a result, scientists are further...
Insulin Resistance: Root Causes, Detection, and Prevention
The Diabetes Pandemic
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization, more than 34 million Americans and 422 million people worldwide have diabetes.1,2 90 to 95% of people with diabetes have type 2.1 The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and K...
Featured Biomarkers from A to Z
This handout briefly describes the role of several important hormones measured in research.
Differentiating Gastrointestinal Pathogens from IBD and IBS
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as well as infections from GI pathogens can present very similar symptoms. A host of tests have been developed to aid in the differentiation between IBD and IBS, such as calprotectin and lact...
Understanding the Role of Energy Homeostasis in Diabetes
Introduction
The prevalence of diabetes and obesity has been on the rise for several decades and research has demonstrated that other parts of the body, including the cardiovascular system and kidneys, can be affected by diabetes. The key to understanding the relationship between diabetes and the...
Physiological Actions of Natriuretic Peptides
Introduction
Humans have at least 50 discovered hormones managing vital biological functions in the body. These hormones are produced by the body’s organs and glands. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are structurally related hormones synthesized and released from the heart, including atrial natriuretic p...
The Impact of Adiponectin in NAFLD and NASH Research
Date: March 7, 2017
Lately, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have been widely discussed in both the clinical and research communities. Some of the focus has been related to alternative research methods that can improve diagnostic and monitoring meth...
The Role of Bile Acids in Inflammation
Presented by: Evelyn Zöhrer, PhD; Medical University of Graz
Bile acids act as emulsifiers and promote the absorption of lipids. In addition to the facilitation of digestion, bile acids are now being recognized as key players in the regulation of a myriad of metabolic processes. As such, the role...
Adipokines and Adipose Tissue-Liver Crosstalk in Energy Metabolism
Research over the past several decades examining adipokines and adipose tissue-liver crosstalk in energy metabolism has revealed that adipose tissue is a very important metabolically active endocrine organ1. White, brown, and beige adipose tissue generate and secrete adipokines, such as adiponectin ...
Organ Crosstalk in Obesity and NAFLD
The liver is vital to various metabolic functions including lipid and glucose metabolism. In order to maintain homeostasis, efficient gut-liver and adipose tissue-liver communications are needed1,2. Research indicates that obesity induced dysfunctions within these crosstalks can lead to imbalances i...
