Paresh Dandona,Ruth S. Weinstock,Kuldip Thusu,Ehad Abdel-Rahman,Ahmad Aljada,Thomas A. Wadden +5 more
TL;DR: This study investigated whether serum TNFα concentrations are elevated in obese subjects, whether they fall after weight loss, and whether this fall parallels the fall in insulin release after glucose challenge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha in normal-weight women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
TL;DR: It is concluded that serum TNFalpha is increased in normal-weight women with PCOS and is even higher in obese individuals regardless of whether they have PCOS; factors other than obesity are the cause of elevated serum T NFalpha innormal-weight Women with PCos; and increased circulating TNF alpha may mediate insulin resistance in obesity, which may in turn promote hyperandrogenism in obese women withPCOS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of hydrocortisone on oxygen free radical generation by mononuclear cells
TL;DR: Serum cortisol concentrations were markedly elevated over basal and remained elevated throughout the first 8 hours of the experiment, returning to baseline at 24 hours, suggesting that inhibition of ROS generation by HC (and other glucocorticoids) may have a role to play in mediating the antiinflammatory action of corticosteroids.
