CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We demonstrate that obesity activates hepatocyte expression of C-C chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2/MCP-1) leading to hepatic recruitment of CCR2(+) myeloid cells that promote hepatosteatosis. 20103702 2010
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 Biomarker disease BEFREE Given the association between obesity, chronic low-grade inflammation, and insulin resistance, we examined the effects of alpha- and gamma-MG on markers of inflammation and insulin resistance in primary cultures of newly differentiated human adipocytes treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). alpha- and gamma-MG decreased the induction by LPS of inflammatory genes, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and Toll-like receptor-2. 19403722 2009
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The MCP-1 -2518G allele may be contributing to atherosclerosis and CAD by conferring an increased risk to metabolic syndrome and/or obesity. 19450143 2009
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 Biomarker disease BEFREE Arteriovenous studies confirmed in vivo RANTES and IL-6 release in adipose tissue of lean and obese subjects and release of MCP-1 in obesity. 19240255 2009
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 Biomarker disease BEFREE Positive genetic correlations were seen between CRP, leptin, MCP-1 and obesity traits, and negative genetic correlations with adiponectin, ICAM-1 and TGF-beta1. 18848781 2008
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Insulin increases CCL2 expression in adipose tissue and in serum more in insulin-resistant obese than in insulin-sensitive lean mice, but whether this is true in humans is unknown. 18270300 2008
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE During the expansion of adipose tissue mass in obesity there is a major inflammatory response in the tissue with increased expression and release of inflammation-related adipokines, including IL-6, leptin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and TNF-alpha, together with decreased adiponectin production. 18397542 2008
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 Biomarker disease RGD RANTES and MCP-1 serum levels were increased in obese vs lean Zucker rats and significantly reduced by long-term treatment with rimonabant, which slowed weight gain in rats with the metabolic syndrome. 18469848 2008
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Obesity increases the expression of leptin and other cytokines, as well as some macrophage and inflammatory markers, and decreases adiponectin expression in adipose tissue.A number of cytokines, e.g. tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), and some pro-inflammatory interleukins, leuckocyte antigens, chemochines, surface adhesion molecules and metalloproteases are up-regulated whereas other factors are down-regulated. 17922949 2007
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 Biomarker disease BEFREE These observations demonstrate similar interstitial concentrations and a differential gene response to hyperinsulinemia of MCP-1 in the SCAAT from L and OB individuals. 17456576 2007
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 Biomarker disease BEFREE Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in obesity and type 2 diabetes. Insulin sensitivity study. 17372317 2007
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Thus the augmented MCP-1 expression by ANG II in preadipocytes may provide a new link between obesity and cardiovascular disease. 16705055 2006
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE These findings suggest that an increase in MCP-1 expression in adipose tissue contributes to the macrophage infiltration into this tissue, insulin resistance, and hepatic steatosis associated with obesity in mice. 16691291 2006
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.600 Biomarker disease BEFREE In addition, the findings suggest that MCP-1 may be involved in obesity-related health complications and support the hypothesis that weight loss is beneficial by improving the low-grade inflammation observed in obesity. 15520826 2005
