Is fas and FasL expression in human adipose tissue related to obesity , insulin resistance , and type 2 diabetes?
Independently of body weight, increased Fas expression may contribute to impaired insulin sensitivity and AT dysfunction in obesity. Moreover, significant weight loss reduces Fas expression in OM and sc fat depots.
An HDL cholesterol level ≥38.5 mg/dl was independently associated with lower risk for developing infectious complications in acute IS patients. Statins do not influence this association.
