Journal ArticleDOI
The chronic inflammatory hypothesis for the morbidity associated with morbid obesity: implications and effects of weight loss.
Daniel R. Cottam,Samer G. Mattar,Emma Barinas-Mitchell,George M. Eid,Lewis H. Kuller,David E. Kelley,Philip R. Schauer +6 more
TL;DR: There appears to be a strong association between obesity and inflammation, thereby rendering obesity a chronic inflammatory state and the success of weight loss surgery in treating the complications associated with obesity is most probably related to the reduction of inflammatory mediators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgically-Induced Weight Loss Significantly Improves Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and the Metabolic Syndrome
Samer G. Mattar,Laura M. Velcu,Mordechai Rabinovitz,Anthony J. Demetris,Alyssa M. Krasinskas,Emma Barinas-Mitchell,George M. Eid,Ramesh K. Ramanathan,Debra S. Taylor,Philip R. Schauer +9 more
TL;DR: Surgical weight loss results in significant improvement of liver morphology in severely obese patients and may be associated with a significant reduction in the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulse wave velocity is associated with β-amyloid deposition in the brains of very elderly adults
Timothy M. Hughes,Lewis H. Kuller,Emma Barinas-Mitchell,Rachel H. Mackey,Eric McDade,William E. Klunk,Howard J. Aizenstein,Ann D. Cohen,Beth E. Snitz,Chester A. Mathis,Steven T. DeKosky,Oscar L. Lopez +11 more
TL;DR: Arterial stiffness was highest in individuals with both high Aβ deposition and WMH, which has been suggested to be a “double hit” contributing to the development of symptomatic dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of islet cell autoimmunity in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.
TL;DR: In type 2 diabetic subjects > or =65 years old, the presence of islet cell autoimmunity is associated with an impairment of the acute-phase insulin secretion, as revealed by an OGTT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproducibility of the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test in Overweight Children
TL;DR: Obese youth who have discordant OGTT results are more insulin resistant with higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, as evidenced by a lower GDI.
