Increased adipose tissue expression of IL-18R and its ligand IL-18 associates with inflammation and insulin resistance in obesity

The proinflammatory cytokine IL-18 is involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. While the changes in IL-18 are known, IL-18R expression and relationship with IL-18 and other inflammatory markers in the adipose tissue in obesity/type-2 diabetes (T2D) remain unclear.

Acute Effects of Normoxic and Hypoxic High-Intensity Interval Exercise on Hemodynamics and Cutaneous Blood Flow in Youth Soccer Players

To assess the impact of different conditions, we compared the subjects’ hemodynamic responses and their microvascular reactivity following HIIE in hypoxia and normoxia conditions. This study hypothesized that HIIE in hypoxia condition would result in a more intense effect on hemodynamics and cutaneous blood flow in soccer players than normoxic condition.

Correlation among lipid parameters, pulse wave velocity and central blood pressure in young Korean population

Central blood pressure is closely related to the important cardiovascular intermediate end points, such as vascular hypertrophy and extent of carotid atherosclerosis. Therefore it is prudent to study correlation among central aortic blood pressure, body composition, lipid profiles, and pulse wave velocity in population-based study. Consequently, we investigate the correlation between central aortic blood pressure and other risk parameters of hypertension such as body composition and lipid profile.
