Research Abstract |
In obesity, oxidative stress is involved in aberrant production of adipocytokines. We found that oxidized LDL enhances the productions of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and resistin, and their molecular mechanism includes the production of reactive oxygen species followed by ERK signaling activation. Taken together, anti-oxidant reagents or ERK inhibitors may be useful for the prevention and treatment for metabolic syndromes.
