TL;DR: El tratamiento con atorvastatina en mujeres con sindrome de ovarios poliquisticos induce a significativa modificacion of los parametros de disfuncion lipidica, de interleuquinas (disminucion of IL-6 y TNF-alfa y aumento of the adiponectina) de inflamacion sistemica.

Abstract: De la presente investigacion sobre el estudio de las caracteristicas metabolicas, hormonales e inmunoinflamatorias de mujeres con sindrome de ovarios poliquisticos con o sin obesidad. Analisis del impacto del tratamiento con atorvastatina se concluye que: Las mujeres con sindrome de ovario poliquisticos presentan un estado de hiperlipidemia (aumento de las concentraciones de colesterol, TG y LDL-C), activacion del sistema renina-aldosterona (aumento de las concentraciones de renina y aldosterona y de la actividad de la renina plasmatica), variaciones en la interleuquinas (elevacion de IL-6, TNF-alfa y factor inhibidor de la migracion de macrofagos y disminucion de adiponectina), de los indicadores de inflamacion (aumento de las concentraciones de PCR y procalcitonina) e indicadores de disfuncion endotelial (aumento de las concentraciones de ADMA y homocisteina) En mujeres con sindrome de ovarios poliquisticos, la obesidad se asocia a un peor perfil lipidico (mayores concentraciones de LDL-C y TG), activacion del sistema renina-aldosterona (altas concentraciones de renina y aldosterona), un mayor estado inmunoinflamatorio sistemico (altas concentraciones de IL-6, factor de necrosis tumoral y PCR) y de disfuncion endotelial (altas concentraciones de dimetilarginina asimetica y homocisteina). El tratamiento con atorvastatina en mujeres con sindrome de ovarios poliquisticos con hipercolesterolemia, obesas y no obesas, induce a una significativa modificacion de los parametros de disfuncion lipidica (disminucion de las concentraciones de colesterol, trigliceridos y LdL-C y aumento de las concentraciones de HDL-C), de interleuquinas (disminucion de IL-6 y TNF-alfa y aumento de la adiponectina) de inflamacion sistemica (disminucion de las concentraciones de PCR y procalcitonina) y disfuncion endotelial, disminuye pero no normaliza. El tratamiento con atorvastatina no se asocio a ningun efecto secundario.

E7: Angiotensin II affects basal, pulsatile and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in humans
TL;DR: Angiotensin II affects both the basal (nonpulsatile) and the pulsatile component of spontaneous insulin secretion and the glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in humans, and this effect was highly significant (P<.01).

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the metabolic syndrome is characterised by sympathetic activation and that this abnormality is also detectable when blood pressure is normal and depends on insulin resistance as well as on reflex alterations.

The obligatory role of endothelial cells in the relaxation of arterial smooth muscle by acetylcholine
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that relaxation of isolated preparations of rabbit thoracic aorta and other blood vessels by ACh requires the presence of endothelial cells, and that ACh, acting on muscarinic receptors of these cells, stimulates release of a substance(s) that causes relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle.

TL;DR: The discovery that mammalian cells generate nitric oxide, a gas previously considered to be merely an atmospheric pollutant, is providing important information about many biologic processes.

TL;DR: Multicellular organisms have three well-characterized subfamilies of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) that control a vast array of physiological processes, and inhibitors of these enzymes are being explored as anticancer agents.
