Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, which causes abnormalities in learning, thinking, memory, as well as behavior. Generally, symptoms of AD develop gradually and aggravate over time, and consequently severely interfere with daily activities. Furthermore, obesity is one of the common risk factors for dementia. Dysregulation of adipokine and adipocyte dysfunction are assumed to be accountable for the high risk of obesity in people that develop many related disorders such as AD. Moreover, it has been observed that the dysfunction of adipose is connected with changes in brain metabolism, brain atrophy, cognitive decline, impaired mood, neuroinflammation, impaired insulin signaling, and neuronal dysfunction in people with obesity. Conversely, the pathological mechanisms, as well as the molecular players which are involved in this association, have been unclear until now. In this article, we discuss the impact of adiponectin (AdipoQ) on obesity-related Alzheimer's dementia.

Genetic epidemiological studies have shown that numerous genetic variants cumulatively increase obesity risk. Although genetically predisposed individuals are more prone to developing obesity, it has been shown that physical activity can modify the genetic predisposition to obesity. Therefore, genetic data obtained from earlier studies, including 30 polymorphisms located in 18 genes, were analyzed using novel methods such as the total genetic score and Biofilter 2.

Dietary apigenin ameliorates obesity-related hypertension through TRPV4-dependent vasorelaxation and TRPV4-independent adiponectin secretion.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis

December 2024

Background: Obesity-related hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor. Apigenin, a natural flavonoid in celery, induces vascular dilation via endothelial transient receptor potential channel vanilla 4 (TRPV4) channels. This study aimed to explore apigenin's potential to alleviate obesity-related hypertension in mice and its underlying mechanisms.

Objective: Circulating exosome-enriched extracellular vesicles (EVs) have drawn considerable importance in obesity-related insulin-resistance (IR). We sought to compare the proteomics profile of serum exosomes from normal individuals and those with obesity and IR.

Methods: We isolated serum exosomes from male subjects with obesity and insulin resistance (Ob-IR, HOMA-IR > 2.

Background: The adiponectin is one of the rare adipokines down-regulated with obesity and protects against obesity-related disorders. Similarly, the apolipoprotein M (apoM) is expressed in adipocytes and its expression in adipose tissue is associated with metabolic health. We compared circulating apoM with adiponectin regarding their relationship with metabolic parameters and insulin sensitivity and examined their gene expression patterns in adipocytes and in the adipose tissue.
