Abstract:
... Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global health concern. Vascular dysfunction is an aspect of CVD, and novel treatments targeting vascular physiology are necessary. In the endothelium, eNOS regulates vasodilation and mitochondrial function; both are disrupted in CVD. (–)-Epicatechin, a botanical compound known for its vasodilatory, eNOS, and mitochondrial-stimulating properties, is a potential the ...

Subject:
C-reactive protein; antagonists; anti-inflammatory activity; biomarkers; glucose; glucose tolerance tests; homeostasis; inflammation; interleukin-1; lifestyle; metabolic syndrome; metabolism; noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; obesity; risk
Abstract:
... Low-grade inflammation is a major player in obesity and the metabolic syndrome predicting development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) is a vital and natural anti-inflammatory factor and mediator in glucose homeostasis disturbances. The predictive role is independent of multiple confounders, and elevated levels appear few years before T2DM. The role of IL-1 ...
