Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and Characteristics of the Metabolic Syndrome in Primary Aldosteronism
Francesco Fallo,Franco Veglio,Chiara Bertello,Nicoletta Sonino,Paolo Della Mea,Mario Ermani,Franco Rabbia,Giovanni Federspil,Paolo Mulatero +8 more
TL;DR: A negative effect of aldosterone excess on glucose metabolism is confirmed and the recently reported higher rates of cardiovascular events in primary aldosteronism than in essential hypertension might be due to increased prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in the former condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced Plasma Visfatin/Pre-B Cell Colony-Enhancing Factor in Obesity Is Not Related to Insulin Resistance in Humans
Claudio Pagano,Catia Pilon,Massimiliano Olivieri,Paola Mason,Roberto Fabris,Roberto M. Serra,Gabriella Milan,Marco Rossato,Giovanni Federspil,Roberto Vettor +9 more
TL;DR: Visfatin is not related to insulin resistance either as assessed by homeostasis model assessment or during lipid infusion, whereas visfatin mRNA is differentially regulated in SAT and VAT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma adiponectin is decreased in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Claudio Pagano,Giorgio Soardo,Walter Esposito,Francesco Fallo,Lorenza Basan,D. Donnini,Giovanni Federspil,Leonardo A. Sechi,Roberto Vettor +8 more
TL;DR: Data support a role for low circulating adiponectin in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and confirm the strict association between reduced adiponECTin production by adipose tissue, NAFLd and insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin of intermuscular adipose tissue and its pathophysiological implications.
Roberto Vettor,Gabriella Milan,Chiara Franzin,Marta Sanna,Paolo De Coppi,Paolo De Coppi,Rosario Rizzuto,Giovanni Federspil +7 more
TL;DR: It is proved that muscle satellite cells (SCs), a heterogeneous stem cell population characterized by plasticity and self-renewal that allow muscular growth and regeneration, can acquire features of adipocytes, including the abilities to express adipocyte-specific genes and accumulate lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI
The endogenous cannabinoid system stimulates glucose uptake in human fat cells via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and calcium-dependent mechanisms.
Claudio Pagano,Catia Pilon,Alessandra Calcagno,Riccardo Urbanet,Marco Rossato,Gabriella Milan,Katiuscia Bianchi,Rosario Rizzuto,Paolo Bernante,Giovanni Federspil,Roberto Vettor +10 more
TL;DR: A role for the local endocannabinoids in the regulation of glucose metabolism in human adipocytes is indicated and a role in channeling excess energy fuels to adipose tissue in obese humans is suggested.
