Journal ArticleDOI
Angiotensin Type 1 Receptor Blockers Induce Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor-γ Activity
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a specific subset of ARBs induces PPARγ activity, thereby promoting PPARαγ-dependent differentiation in adipocytes, providing a potential mechanism for their insulin-sensitizing/antidiabetic effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of the peripheral endocannabinoid system in human obesity.
Stefan Engeli,Jana Böhnke,Mareike Feldpausch,K. Gorzelniak,Jürgen Janke,Sandor Batkai,Pal Pacher,Judy Harvey-White,Friedrich C. Luft,Arya M. Sharma,Jens Jordan +10 more
TL;DR: The findings support the presence of a peripheral endocannabinoid system that is upregulated in human obesity and increased in mature human adipocytes compared with in preadipocytes and was found in several human tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weight Loss and the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System
Stefan Engeli,Jana Böhnke,K. Gorzelniak,Jürgen Janke,Petra Schling,Michael Bader,Friedrich C. Luft,Arya M. Sharma +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a 5% reduction in body weight can lead to a meaningfully reduced renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in plasma and adipose tissue, which may contribute to the reduced blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association Between Adiponectin and Mediators of Inflammation in Obese Women
Stefan Engeli,Mareike Feldpausch,K. Gorzelniak,Frauke Hartwig,Ute Heintze,Jürgen Janke,Matthias Möhlig,Andreas Pfeiffer,Friedrich C. Luft,Arya M. Sharma +9 more
TL;DR: The data suggest a transcriptional mechanism leading to decreased adiponectin plasma levels in obese women and demonstrate that low levels of adiponECTin are associated with higher levels of hs-CRP and IL-6, two inflammatory mediators and markers of increased cardiovascular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinol-binding protein 4 in human obesity.
Jürgen Janke,Stefan Engeli,Michael Boschmann,Frauke Adams,Jana Böhnke,Friedrich C. Luft,Arya M. Sharma,Jens Jordan +7 more
TL;DR: The findings point to profound differences between rodents and humans in the regulation of adipose or circulating RBP4 and challenge the notion that glucose uptake by adipocytes has a dominant role in theregulation ofRBP4.
