Chemerin is a novel adipokine that plays a major role in adipogenesis and lipid metabolism.
It also induces inflammation and affects insulin signaling, steroidogenesis and …

Colostrum is the main external resource providing piglets with nutrients and maternal immune
molecules. Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) have been used as immunopotentiators in …

Rationale: The availability of therapeutics to treat pregnancy complications is severely lacking,
mainly due to the risk of harm to the fetus. In placental malaria, Plasmodium falciparum-…

Maternal circulating levels of the adipokine chemerin are elevated in preeclampsia, but its
origin and contribution to preeclampsia remain unknown. We therefore studied (1) placental …

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is estimated to affect a quarter
of all population and represents a major health threat to all societies. Yet, currently no …

A Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy can result in severe birth defects such as
microcephaly. To date, it is incompletely understood how ZIKV can cross the human placenta. …

Background The adipokine chemerin regulates adipogenesis and the metabolic function of
both adipocytes and liver. Chemerin is elevated in preeclamptic women, and overexpression …

Soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) is increased in pre-eclampsia. The proton pump
inhibitor (PPI) lowers sFlt-1, while angiotensin increases it. To investigate whether PPIs lower …

BACKGROUND: Chemerin, an inflammatory adipokine, is upregulated in preeclampsia,
and its placental overexpression results in preeclampsia-like symptoms in mice. Statins may …

Background: The adipokine chemerin is increased in preeclampsia (PE), possibly because
it is released from the placenta. We aimed to evaluate the potential of chemerin as novel …
