Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic epidemiology of cholesterol cholelithiasis among Chilean Hispanics, Amerindians, and Maoris
Juan Francisco Miquel,C. Covarrubias,Luis Villaroel,Geltrude Mingrone,Aldo V. Greco,L Puglielli,Pilar Carvallo,Guillermo Marshall,Guido del Pino,Flavio Nervi +9 more
TL;DR: Cholesterol lithogenic genes appear widely spread among Chilean Indians and Hispanics and could determine the early formation of gallstones and explain the high prevalence of gallbladder diseases among some South American populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sterol Carrier Protein-2 Is Involved in Cholesterol Transfer from the Endoplasmic Reticulum to the Plasma Membrane in Human Fibroblasts
TL;DR: It is suggested that in normal fibroblasts the major fraction of newly synthesized cholesterol is transported to the plasma membrane by a SCP-2-dependent mechanism, and in SCP-1-deficient cells, newly synthesised cholesterol leaves the endoplasmic reticulum by a cytoskeleton/Golgi-dependent mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversibility of insulin resistance in obese diabetic patients: role of plasma lipids
Geltrude Mingrone,A DeGaetano,Aldo V. Greco,Esmeralda Capristo,Giuseppe Benedetti,Marco Castagneto,Giovanni Gasbarrini +6 more
TL;DR: In obese diabetic patients lipid malabsorption induced by BPD causes a definite enhancement of insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance before the surgery has major effects on body weight, suggesting that lowered plasma lipids, rather than weight loss, are the cause of the reversibility of insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in Insulin Receptors between Men and Menstruating Women and Influence of Sex Hormones on Insulin Binding during the Menstrual Cycle
TL;DR: The present data suggest that sex hormones may play a role in the control of insulin receptors, and it appears that other factors exist during the follicular phase that lower insulin binding to erythrocyte insulin receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonselective loss of contrast sensitivity in visual system testing in early type I diabetes.
M. A. S. Di Leo,Salvatore Caputo,Benedetto Falsini,Vittorio Porciatti,Angelo Maria Minnella,Aldo V. Greco,Giovanni Ghirlanda +6 more
TL;DR: An early, generally nonselective neuronal damage of visual pathways that occurs before the onset of clinically detectable retinopathy is suggested, which may be related directly to the effects of diabetes.
