Aim: To investigate the relationship between serum adiponectin, resistin and RBP4 levels and the components of metabolic syndrome. Patients & methods: Serum adiponectin, resistin and RBP4 levels were detected and analyzed in 148 8-18-year-old Turkish obese pubertal children with/without metabolic syndrome. Results: Adiponectin and resistin concentrations were significantly inversely correlated with BMI standard deviation score, homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance, waist circumference, triglyceride levels and diastolic and systolic blood pressure, and were directly correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. RBP4 concentrations were directly correlated with homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance, waist circumference, triglyceride levels and diastolic and systolic blood pressure, and inversely correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusion: Adiponectin, RBP4 and, in particular, resistin levels may be used as suitable predictive biomarkers of metabolic syndrome.

Aim: To investigate the relationship of adiponectin, leptin, resistin and RBP4 levels in obese and metabolic syndrome children with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Patients & methods: Group I consisted of 63 obese children with liver steatosis, group II consisted of 12 obese children with elevated serum ALT activity from group I, and group III included 85 obese children without liver steatosis. Results: Leptin levels were higher in the NAFLD children than in the control group. Serum RBP4 levels in...
Examination of the dielectrophoretic spectra of MCF7 breast cancer cells and leukocytes
Çağlayan, Zeynep; Demircan Yalçın, Yağmur; Külah, Haluk (Wiley, 2020-03-01)
The detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood is crucial to assess metastatic progression and to guide therapy. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a powerful cell surface marker-free method that allows intrinsic dielectric properties of suspended cells to be exploited for CTC enrichment/isolation from blood. Design of a successful DEP-based CTC enrichment/isolation system requires that the DEP response of the targeted particles should accurately be known. This paper presents a DEP spectrum method to inve...
Interactions of cholesterol reducing agent simvastatin with phospholipid model membranes
Koçak, Mustafa; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biochemistry (2007)
Interactions of simvastatin with zwitterionic dipalmitoyl phosphotidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar liposomes were investigated as a function of temperature and simvastatin concentration. And acyl chain length effect on the simvastatin-model membrane interactions was monitored with DPPC and dimyristoyl phosphotidylcholine (DMPC) lipids. All studies were carried out by two non-invasive techniques, namely Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results s...
Isolation and immunological characterization of theta class glutathione-s-transferase gstt2-2 from bovine liver
İşgör, Sultan Belgin; Çoruh, Nursen; Department of Biochemistry (2004)
The glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) (EC.2.5.1.18) are enzymes that participate in cellular detoxification of endogenous as well as foreign electrophilic compounds, function in the cellular detoxification systems and are evolved to protect cells against reactive oxygen metabolites by conjugating the reactive molecules to the nucleophile scavenging tripeptide glutathione (GSH, ?-glu-cys-gly). The GSTs are found in all eukaryotes and prokaryotic systems, in the cytoplasm, on the microsomes, and in the mitoch...
Synthesis of 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives from 2-(2-bromoallyl)-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Akhmedov, IM; Sesenoglu, O (Elsevier BV, 2002-12-02)
2-(2-Bromoallyl)-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds are converted into beta-enamino, beta-hydrazino esters and ketones, followed by base-promoted cyclization, leading to the formation of the corresponding 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pyrroles. 1,2,4- and 1,2,3,4-Substituted pyrroles are also isolated as minor products. Starting from the 2-(2-bromoallyl)-cyclohexane-1,3-dione the corresponding tetrahydro indolone is prepared in good yield.
