Article Synopsis
  • Postprandial metabolic dysregulation, especially with visceral fat accumulation, contributes to atherosclerosis and various metabolic disorders like glucose intolerance and hypertension.
  • The study compared postprandial responses of metabolic parameters between men with and without abdominal obesity after a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), revealing significant differences in blood pressure and triglycerides.
  • Findings indicated that those with waist circumference (WC) of 85 cm or more showed worse metabolic responses, suggesting the need for monitoring obesity-related parameters to help prevent atherosclerotic diseases.

A series of poly(6-azulenylethynyl)benzenes substituted with n-hexyloxycarbonyl chains at 1,3-positions in azulene rings, i.e., hexakis-, 1,2,4,5-tetrakis-, 1,3,5-tris-, and 1,4-bis(6-azulenylethynyl)benzene derivatives 1, 2, 3, and 4b, have been prepared by a simple one-pot reaction involving repeated Pd-catalyzed alkynylation of halogenated arenes with substituted 6-ethynylazulene and/or ethynylated arenes with substituted 6-bromoazulene under Sonogashira-Hagihara conditions.
