Journal Article

Basal and postprandial plasma levels of PYY, ghrelin, cholecystokinin, gastrin and insulin in women with moderate and morbid obesity and metabolic syndrome.

TL;DR: It is concluded that MS features of obesity are closely related to fasting and postprandial alterations of concentrations of PYY(3-36), CCK and ghrelin, suggesting that determination of gut hormones controlling food intake might be considered as a valuable tool to assess the progression of MS to comorbidities of obesity.
Journal Article

Postprandial response of ghrelin and PYY and indices of low-grade chronic inflammation in lean young women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

TL;DR: The first evidence that lean untreated young PCOS women contribute to the so called "pancreatic islet adaptation to insulin resistance" because of ghrelin and PYY profiles is provided, confirming existing of low-grade chronic inflammation in early stage of visceral obesity in lean PCOS patients.
Journal Article

Basal and postprandial gut peptides affecting food intake in lean and obese pregnant women.

TL;DR: It is found that pregnant women with overweight and obesity exhibit significant changes in fasting and postprandial gut hormones affecting food intake such as acylated ghrelin, PYY(3-36) and CCK as well as in CRP and these changes might contribute, at least in part, to the development of obesity in pregnancy.
Journal Article

Acylation stimulating protein is associated with pregnancy weight gain.

TL;DR: It was found that lipid parameters were highly dependent upon body mass gain during pregnancy and Group OBP demonstrated significantly higher basal concentrations of all parameters of lipid metabolism in comparison with the remaining groups of pregnant patients.
Journal Article

Doppler study of the peripheral flows in early gestation.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine the first trimester human peripheral arterial and venous blood flow between 5 - 10 weeks of gestation with singleton, uncomplicated pregnancies and an absent diastolic flow was documented in every case.
