TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the manifestations of metabolic syndromes associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) in patients with type 2 diabetes and linked to the risk of coronary Syndromes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of increased physical activity on the amounts of pancreatic and liver fat were studied in eight monozygotic twin pairs who have discordant physical activity and fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myocardial perfusion reserve and peripheral endothelial function in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Kira Q. Stolen,Jukka Kemppainen,Kari K. Kalliokoski,Hannu Karanko,Jyri O Toikka,Tuula Janatuinen,Olli T. Raitakari,K.E. Juhani Airaksinen,Pirjo Nuutila,Juhani Knuuti +9 more
TL;DR: Neither hyperemic perfusion nor perfusion reserve was correlated with FMD in the patients with IDC, whereas the healthy subjects demonstrated a positive correlation between FMD and perfusions reserve, indicating abnormal myocardial perfusion characterizes patients withIDC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interindividual variability and lateralization of μ-opioid receptors in the human brain
Tatu Kantonen,Tatu Kantonen,Tomi Karjalainen,Janne Isojärvi,Pirjo Nuutila,Jouni Tuisku,Juha O. Rinne,Jarmo Hietala,Valtteri Kaasinen,Kari K. Kalliokoski,Harry Scheinin,Jussi Hirvonen,Aki Vehtari,Lauri Nummenmaa +13 more
TL;DR: The presently observed variation in MOR availability may explain why some individuals are prone to develop MOR-linked pathological states, such as chronic pain or psychiatric disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The ability of the liver to extract FFA from the circulation appears to be impaired, and the reciprocal relationship between hepatic FFA extraction and glucose/lactate flux may derive from intrahepatic substrate competition.
