Relationship between obesity and serum resistin, apelin, and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c levels: the changes in the analyte levels durin g weight loss in obese patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In obesity, the fat storage in the body increases excessively and affects the whole metabolism.

Methods

Sixty-two obese patients were included in the study. The effect of weight loss, which was achieved with a 3-month diet/exercise program, on the following analytes was investigated; serum total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triacylglycerol, triglycerides (TAG), glucose, resistin, apelin, and a transcription factor sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c, and blood hemoglobin A1c. Basal (prediet/exercise) levels of analytes were taken as control values, and they were compared to the postdiet/exercise levels.

Results

After the 3-month diet/exercise program, apelin, hemoglobin A1c, and triacylglyce
