Abnormal Body Composition in Takayasu Arteritis Patients: Role of Inflammatory Cytokines and Adipokines
Background/Purpose: Chronic inflammatory conditions including rheumatic diseases may alter body composition, especially lean and fat mass. In this process, adipokines and inflammatory cytokines appear to…Abstract Number: 1025 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Leptin Production By Osteoarthritis Synovial Fibroblasts: Stimulation By Glucocorticoids and Mineralocorticoids through the Glucocorticoid Receptor and GILZ (Glucocorticoid-Induced Leucine Zipper) Protein
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a metabolic disorder for which leptin is playing a catabolic role on cartilage. In mice, obesity due to impaired leptin did…Abstract Number: 1018 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Monolayer Culture Induced the Expression of Zyxin-Related Protein 1 (ZRP-1), αvβ3 integrin Complex and Leptin in Human Articular Chondrocytes
Background/Purpose During Osteoarthritis (OA), chondrocytes loose their initial anabolic properties, undergoing morphological and biochemical modifications similar to those encountered during chondrocyte dedifferentiation. However, the molecular…Abstract Number: 966 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adiponectin Is an Endogenous Anti-Fibrotic and Target in Systemic Sclerosis: Novel Link Between Fibrosis and Metabolism
Background/Purpose :Systemic sclerosis (SSc) skin fibrosis is associated with attenuated cutaneous adipose tissue and adipogenic gene expression. Levels of the adipose-derived cytokine adiponectin (APN) and…Abstract Number: 773 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adioponectin-Induced p38 MAPK and AMPK Pathways In Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fibroblasts Are Adiponectin Isoform Dependent
Background/Purpose: Adiponectin, a C1q/tumour necrosis factor (TNF) homologue, was previously known to be secreted by adipocytes. Additionaly, it was found to be synthesized by other…Abstract Number: 418 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Assessment Of Treatment Effect Over Insulin Resistance and Adipokines In Patients With Early Rheumatoid Arthritis: A 6 Months Longitudinal Observational Study
Background/Purpose: To analyze treatment effects over insulin resistance (IR), adipokines, inflammatory cytokines and clinical and laboratory characteristics in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods:…Abstract Number: 244 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Between Serum Adipokine Levels and Extent Of Symptomatic Joint Involvement In Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) has not traditionally been considered a systemic joint disease. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that OA cannot solely be accounted…Abstract Number: 2133 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Neuropathic Pain After Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
Background/Purpose: A sizeable number of patients continue to suffer from pain after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The reason for this is not well established in…Abstract Number: 2071 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adipokines Contribute To The Inflammatory Response In Adult and Juvenile Myositis
Background/Purpose: Recently adipokines have been implicated for their role in regulating immune and inflammatory responses in autoimmune disease. To test the hypothesis that adipokines are…Abstract Number: 1683 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
High Prevalence Of Metabolic Syndrome In Takayasu Arteritis: An Increased Cardiovascular Risk and Lower Adiponectin Serum Levels
Background/Purpose: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) tends to be high among rheumatic patients, and cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in these…Abstract Number: 1429 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adiponectin Levels Are Increased After Tocilizumab Therapy Among Adults With Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results From The Measure Study
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Adiponectin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and…
