Momoko Horikoshi,Kazuo Hara,Jun Ohashi,Kazuaki Miyake,Katsushi Tokunaga,Chikako Ito,Masato Kasuga,Ryozo Nagai,Takashi Kadowaki +8 more
TL;DR: It is speculated that the PRKAA2 gene influences insulin resistance and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The G/G genotype frequency of resistin SNP −420 appears to be increased in younger-onset type 2 diabetic subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kazuo Hara,Masami Horikoshi,Hiroji Kitazato,Toshimasa Yamauchi,Chikako Ito,Mitsuhiko Noda,Jun Ohashi,Philippe Froguel,Philippe Froguel,Katsushi Tokunaga,Ryozo Nagai,Takashi Kadowaki +11 more
TL;DR: Genetic variations in ADIPOR1 or ADIPor2 are unlikely to lead to a common genetic predisposition to insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dysadipocytokinemia in werner syndrome and its recovery by treatment with pioglitazone.
TL;DR: The accumulated intra-abdominal visceral fat suggests an altered production of adipocytokines in the pathophysiology of Werner syndrome, which is an autosomal recessive disorder known for progeroid phenotypes including graying and loss of hair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and Pathological Features of Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasms of the Pancreas: A Nationwide Multicenter Study in Japan
Keiji Hanada,Keisuke Kurihara,Takao Itoi,Akio Katanuma,Tamito Sasaki,Kazuo Hara,Masafumi Nakamura,Wataru Kimura,Yutaka Suzuki,Masanori Sugiyama,Nobuyuki Ohike,Noriyoshi Fukushima,Michio Shimizu,Kousei Ishigami,Toshifumi Gabata,Kazuichi Okazaki +15 more
TL;DR: The findings indicated that SPN patients have excellent survival after margin-negative surgical resection, and women seemed to have an early occurrence of SPNs, suggesting a difference in the developmental stage between men and women.
