Journal ArticleDOI

Liver steatosis coexists with myocardial insulin resistance and coronary dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes.

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

Myocardial perfusion reserve and peripheral endothelial function in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.

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

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

Defective liver disposal of free fatty acids in patients with impaired glucose tolerance.

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.
