Semaglutide reduces fat accumulation in the tongue: A randomized single-blind, pilot study

2021

Abstract Aim We evaluated the effect of the latest GLP-1 RA semaglutide on tongue fat storage in obese women. Design. We conducted a randomized single-blind, pilot study. Methods Twenty-five obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (33.7 ± 5.3 years, body mass index (BMI) 36.1 ± 3.9 kg/m2, mean ± SD) were randomized to semaglutide 1.0 mg or placebo for 16 weeks. We quantified tongue volume and its fat tissue and fat proportion by magnetic resonance imaging. Results Tongue fat tissue and fat proportion significantly reduced after semaglutide vs placebo (-1.94 ± 5.51 vs. + 3.12 ± 4.87 cm3, p = 0.022, and −0.02 ± 0.07 vs. 0.04 ± 0.06, p = 0.010, respectively). Correlation analysis rev…

Valores sociales y adicción a la cocaína: diferencias entre adictos en tratamiento y población no clínica

2009

El presente trabajo es un estudio de las diferencias en valores sociales preferidos por adictos a cocaína (N=178) y sujetos de población no clínica (N=424). Se ha utilizado el Cuestionario VAL-89 y se han efectuado las comparaciones controlando las variables sexo, edad y nivel de estudios. Los resultados reflejan pocas diferencias entre los adictos a cocaína y las personas de su entorno social. Este hecho parece explicarse a partir de la amplia implantación del consumo en nuestra sociedad y del propio carácter de los valores sociales como estimación de lo deseable, aunque no necesariamente como guía proximal de la conducta.

An Analysis of the Immunomodulatory Properties of Human Spheroids from Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

2023

Aims Current methods to induce tolerance following allotransplantation or in autoimmunity carry significant morbidity, and research is very active in investigating alternative methods which could minimize toxicity. Spheroids from adipose stem cells (SASCs) are increasingly gaining interest, they hold a great proliferative and differentiating potential. An immunomodulatory effect has not been investigated on SASCs yet. In this study, we analysed the immunomodulatory properties of SASCs and compared them to ADSCs. Main methods Adipose stem cells (SASCs and ADSCs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from healthy individuals. We analysed the cytokine production and pro…

The corticotrophin-releasing factor/urocortin system regulates white fat browning in mice through paracrine mechanisms.

2015

Objectives:\ud The corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF)/urocortin system is expressed in the adipose tissue of mammals, but its functional role in this tissue remains unknown.\ud \ud Methods:\ud Pharmacological manipulation of the activity of CRF receptors, CRF1 and CRF2, was performed in 3T3L1 white pre-adipocytes and T37i brown pre-adipocytes during in vitro differentiation. The expression of genes of the CRF/urocortin system and of markers of white and brown adipocytes was evaluated along with mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular oxygen consumption. Metabolic evaluation of corticosterone-deficient or supplemented Crhr1-null (Crhr1−/−) mice and their wild-type controls was performed alo…

Estudio del efecto de la cirugía de bypass gástrico en Y de Roux sobre los mecanismos moleculares asociados a la fisiopatología de la obesidad

2022

La obesidad es una enfermedad multifactorial e incapacitante que se caracteriza por una sobrecarga metabólica del tejido adiposo (AT), la inflamación crónica de bajo grado, el estrés oxidativo y la disfunción endotelial. En la actualidad, la prevalencia mundial de la obesidad está aumentando, donde el estilo de vida influye de manera significativa en la resolución de esta enfermedad. En este contexto, ha aumentado la demanda de estrategias para revertir las comorbilidades y frenar su aumento. El procedimiento de bypass gástrico en Y de Roux (RYGB) es una herramienta eficaz para la pérdida de peso y la remisión de las comorbilidades metabólicas de la obesidad, aunque se desconocen los mecani…

Psicoterapia de los trastornos de personalidad en adictos

2007

Poca es la literatura que existe sobre psicoterapia con adictos que sufren trastornos de personalidad. Y no es de extrañar si se tienen en cuenta no sólo lo dificultoso del abordaje de cada entidad por separado (adicciones, trastornos de personalidad) sino el intenso debate históricamente establecido en torno al concepto personalidad y sus patologías y el dinamismo evolutivo (nuevos perfiles, nuevas dependencias) que viene caracterizando al campo de las adicciones en los últimos años. Sea como fuere, el presente artículo no viene a dar respuestas absolutas que llenen el vacío literario mencionado más arriba pero sí espera plantear algunas cuestiones conocidas y otras quizá más novedosas aun…

The Role of the Heme Oxygenase System in the Metabolic Syndrome

2014

Molecular chaperones and the heat shock response play a major role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis under various pathological conditions. In particular, their role is to regulate protein conformation, protect proteins from misfolding and aggregation, and maintain signalling and organellarnetworks. Among variousheat shock proteins, Hsp32 also known as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), has demonstrated an important role in metabolic syndrome. In particular, the HO system seems to play a major role in the complex pathophysiological cascade involved in insulin resistance mechanisms, and adipocyte functions as measured by the release of important adipokynes. The aim of the present review is to…
