Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Chinese youth, focusing on how specific adipokines and hepatokines serve as potential links between the two conditions.
- Analysis was conducted on data from the Beijing Children and Adolescents Metabolic Syndrome (BCAMS) study, examining metabolic risks through ultrasound and plasma biomarker measurements to evaluate the obesity-NAFLD relationship.
- Results showed strong associations between elevated levels of RBP4, FGF21, and leptin, along with decreased adiponectin, as predictors of NAFLD, indicating that dysregulated adipokines/hepatokines play a significant role in the development of obesity-related NAFLD in young individuals
Objective: This study aimed to observe the diagnostic value of cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with vascular dementia induced by ischemic stroke.
Methods: The experiment was designed according to the randomized control principle. Two hundred and eighty patients with ischemic stroke who were admitted to Gucheng County Hospital between June 2019 and June 2021 were selected as research subjects.
The mechanisms link obesity and hypertension are not well understood. One possibility is the alterations in adipose-derived adipokines that modulate insulin resistance (IR) and cardiovascular homeostasis. We aimed to assess the associations between hypertension and four adipokine levels in Chinese youth, and to examine to what extent the associations are mediated by IR.

This study aimed to determine whether clinical characteristics and subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) features are correlated with echocardiographic morpho-functional parameters of T2DM patients.
Patients And Methods: Two hundred and fifty-five T2DM patients without a history of coronary heart disease were enrolled in this cross-sectional study.
Role of adipokines FGF21, leptin and adiponectin in self-concept of youths with obesity.

The mechanisms by which obesity increases the risk of psychosocial disorders remain unclear. We aimed at exploring the association between obesity and self-concept in Chinese youths and the role of adipokines. Data for 559 participants (aged 14-28 years) were analyzed.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations of OSA syndrome with obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors among adolescents and youth at risk for metabolic syndrome (MS).
Methods: A total of 558 subjects aged 14-28 years were recruited from the Beijing Child and Adolescent Metabolic Syndrome Study.
[Correlations of serum alanine aminotransferase and insulin resistance, pancreatic B-cell function].

Objective: To explore the correlations of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), insulin resistance and pancreatic B-cell function.
Methods: A total of 351 first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetes mellitus received a standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at our outpatient clinic. All subjects were analyzed for the parameters of body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio, blood pressure (BP), serum lipids, ALT, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), plasma glucose (PG), true-insulin and proinsulin.
