  • Leptin perfusion reduces contraction pressure and worsens the response to ischemia–reperfusion Rat hearts were subject to 45 min of ischemia and 1 h of reperfusion after 1 h of perfusion with/without 3.1 nM leptin (Fig. 1 describes the experimental design). Under these conditions, we noticed a decreased contraction pressure in leptin-perfused hearts during perfusion and after 45 min of global ischemia (Fig. 2A) compared with the control group, which was perfused continuously without leptin was not subjected to ischemia. The heart rate was not affected during the first hour of perfusion (Fig. 2B); however, it dropped significantly during reperfusion in those hearts perfused with lepti...

  • High body mass index constitutes a risk for nephrolithiasis in the context of metabolic syndrome. The majority of these renal stones are either composed of Urate or Calcium Oxalate. We aimed to evaluate the ratios of urinary Calcium and Uric Acid to urinary Creatinine as an early alarming pathological sign in overweight and obese adolescents. Ninety adolescents of both sexes participated in the study. Anthropometric measures were fulfilled, and calculation of body mass index and waist to height ratio were assessed. Urinary Calcium and urinary Uric Acid to Creatinine ratios were estimated in an early morning spot urine sample.

  • Anthropometric measurements were significantly higher in the obese group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Obese adolescents had significantly higher values of serum insulin, HOMA-IR, CRP, ALT, triglycerides, total cholesterol (P < 0.05), and NGAL (P < 0.01) and a lower HDL-C value than the control group. Also, we found a highly significant correlation between the CRP, insulin, and NGAL levels where P < 0.01.
