BACKGROUND Human visceral adipose tissue (VAT), now identified as an endocrine organ, plays a significant role in impaired fasting glucose and diabetes through the deregulated metabolism and adipogenesis of visceral adipocytes in obesity. Our study focuses on exploring the link between inflammation, oxidative stress, and glucose metabolism-associated genes with corresponding miRNAs in human visceral adipocytes and VAT from individuals with glucose metabolism disorders. MATERIAL AND METHODS We examined the expression of ATM, NFKB1, SOD2, INSR, and TIGAR, along with their related miRNAs using PCR, in two contexts:1 - During the three-stage visceral adipogenesis under normal glucose levels (5.

Predictive maintenance is increasingly popular in many branches, as well as in the mining industry; however, there is a lack of spectacular examples of its practice efficiency. Close collaboration between Omya Group and Wroclaw University of Science and Technology allowed investigation of the failure of the inertial vibrator's bearing. The signals of vibration are captured from the sieving screen just before bearing failure and right after repair, when it was visually inspected after replacement.

Comparative strength analysis of two popular options of the radial centrifugal fan impeller design used in horizontal conveyor dryer for fine-grained raw materials is presented. Three types of materials for impeller manufacturing-ASTM A36 steel, Hardox 450 steel and aluminium alloy 6061-T6 are considered. The finite element method (FEM) has been used to investigate stresses and deformations of the impeller within the operational speed range.

Background: Due to its prominence in the regulation of metabolism and inflammation, adipose tissue is a major target to investigate alterations in insulin action. This hormone activates PI3K/AKT pathway which is essential for glucose homeostasis, cell differentiation, and proliferation in insulin-sensitive tissues, like adipose tissue. The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of chronic and intermittent high glucose on the expression of biomolecules of insulin signaling pathway during the differentiation and maturation of human visceral preadipocytes.

Adipokines secreted by hypertrophic visceral adipose tissue (VAT) instigate low-grade inflammation, followed by hyperglycemia (HG)-related metabolic disorders. The latter may develop with the participation of epigenetic modifications. Our aim was to assess how HG influences selected epigenetic modifications and the expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and adiponectin (APN; gene symbol ADIPOQ) during the adipogenesis of human visceral preadipocytes (HPA-v).

Hypertrophic and hypoxic visceral adipose tissue (VAT) secretes proinflammatory cytokines promoting insulin resistance (IR), prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) microRNAs (miRNAs) are markers of metabolic disorders regulating genes critical for e.g., inflammation, glucose metabolism, and antioxidant defense, with raising diagnostic value.

Oxidative stress (OxS) is the cause and the consequence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), the incidence and economic burden of which is increasing each year. OxS triggers the dysregulation of signaling pathways associated with metabolism and epigenetics, including microRNAs, which are biomarkers of metabolic disorders. In this review, we aimed to summarize the current knowledge regarding the interplay between microRNAs and OxS in MetS and its components.

Nowadays, it is well-known that the deregulation of epigenetic machinery is a common biological event leading to the development and progression of metabolic disorders. Moreover, the expression level and actions of leptin, a vast adipocytokine regulating energy metabolism, appear to be strongly associated with epigenetics. Therefore, the aim of this review was to summarize the current knowledge of the epigenetic regulation of leptin as well as the leptin-induced epigenetic modifications in metabolic disorders and associated phenomena.

Disturbances in adipose tissue significantly contribute to the development of metabolic disorders, which are connected with hyperglycemia (HG) and underlain by epigenetics-based mechanisms. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of hyperglycemia on proliferating, differentiating and maturating human visceral pre/adipocytes (HPA-v). Three stages of cell culture were conducted under constant or variable glycemic conditions.

microRNAs are increasingly analyzed in adipogenesis, whose deregulation, especially visceral, contributes to the development of diabetes. Hyperglycemia is known to affect cells while occurring acutely and chronically. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of hyperglycemia on human visceral pre/adipocytes from the perspective of microRNAs.
