Obesity, Smoking, and Fatty Liver Disease
The World Health Organization Organization estimates that over 1.9 billion people worldwide are now obese or overweight [body mass index (BMI) > 27 Kg/m2]. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is now recognized as the most devastating complications of obesity. Intimate relationship exists between obesity, innate (neutrophils, dendritic cells, macrophages, mast cells, and eosinophils) and adaptive (B and T lymphocytes) immune cells. Cells of the innate immune system produce inflammatory cytokines, and other factors leading to impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance. Likewise, B lymphocytes (mostly B2 cells) are activated in obese adipose tissue and contribute to proinflammatory activation of adipo...
Chromogranins
Proceedings of Session VII of the Tenth International Symposium on Chromaffin Cell Biology, held August 25-28, 1999, in Bergen, Norway, and a post-symposium workshop on Chromogranins: from Fundamental Physiology to Clinical Aspects, held August 28, 1999, on board the coastal steamer MS Richard With. This book deals with the chromogranins, secretory prohormones from the diffuse neuroendocrine system. The current concepts of their structure, biogenesis, biosynthesis, secretion, tissue-specific distribution, and processing are presented for the first time all within one volume, with emphasis on the functional aspects of the biologically active sequences and the clinical perspectives of the circulation prohormones.
Chromogranins: from Cell Biology to Physiology and Biomedicine
The volume is designed to provide an integrated overview of the results from the last fifteen years of research on Chromogranins in relation to cell biology, physiology and biomedicine. The different chapters highlight novel activities of these proteins, including their role in granule biogenesis, hormone co-storage, stimulus-processing-secretion coupling, autonomic sympathetic/parasympathetic balance, immune and cardiocirculatory function, and the response to stress. Biomedical aspects are also illustrated with focus on the prognostic and diagnostic significance of Chromogranin in the presence of tumors, cardiovascular diseases and inflammatory conditions. The volume is of interest for laboratory and clinical scientists, PhD and Post-doc students that will be inspired to go deep inside the molecular, biochemical, physiological, pharmacological and clinical aspects of these fascinating multifaceted proteins.
A New Era of Catecholamines in the Laboratory and Clinic
This new volume of Advances in Pharmacology presents catecholamine symposium proceedings. Chapters cover such topics as cellular dynamics of catecholamine release and re-uptake, catecholamines in mood regulation and imaging catecholamine transporters. With a variety of chapters and the best authors in the field, the volume is an essential resource for pharmacologists, immunologists and biochemists alike. - Presents catecholamine symposium proceedings - Chapters cover a variety of topics such as cellular dynamics of catecholamine release and re-uptake, catecholamines in mood regulation and imaging catecholamine transporters - With the best authors in the field, the volume is an essential resource for pharmacologists, immunologists and biochemists alike
Chromaffin Cells
This volume covers the most up-to-date methods and techniques used to further the understanding of chromaffin cell biology and pharmacology. Chapters guide readers through the basic mechanisms that regulate the stimulus-secretion coupling, chromaffin, tumor-derived cell PC-12 , morphology, biochemistry, pharmacology, electrophysiology, and electrochemistry. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Chromaffin Cells: Methods and Protocols aims to be a useful practical guide to researches to help further their study in this field.
Catecholamines: Bridging Basic Science with Clinical Medicine
This volume in Advances in Pharmacology focuses on all aspects of catecholamine research, from very basic to medical. It is broad based and covers many areas within physiology and medicine.
AHA Scientific Sessions 2016: Program Information
The American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2016 is bringing big science, big technology, and big networking opportunities to New Orleans, Louisiana this November. This event features five days of the best in science and cardiovascular clinical practice covering all aspects of basic, clinical, population and translational content.
Cardiometabolic diseases and inflammatory responses
Cardiometabolic diseases are driven by both metabolic disorders (obesity, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, and atherosclerosis) and chronic inflammation (e.g. in diabetes, hypertension and autoimmune diseases), leading to coronary artery disease and heart failure. The perivascular or pericardiac adipose tissue expansion affecting both the systemic and tissue compartment is favored in cardiometabolic disease development. This adipose tissue is a major component of the cardiovascular system that is dysregulated during the consumption of fat-enriched diets. Additionally, fat-enriched diets profoundly impact the response of immune cells in specialized tissues, as well as the activation and differentiation of tissue-resident progenitors. This results in both dysfunction and remodeling that is not limited to tissues, but also to cell activity. The fate of cardiovascular diseases associated with metabolic disorders promotes the imbalance in pro- and anti-inflammatory environments.
