Title: Changes of serum angiogenic biomarkers and their correlations with serum leptin concentration | ||
Author: Z. Tahergorabi, M. Khazaei | ||
Abstract: Aim: Obesity is considered as a major health problem. Angiogenic vessels by providing oxygen, nutrients and growth factors trigger growth and survival signals in adipocytes. We aimed to investigate the effect of high-fat diet (HFD) on serum angiogenic biomarkers including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble VEGF receptor 1 (sVEGFR1), nitric oxide (NO) concentrations and their correlations with serum leptin level in obese and control groups. There was a strong positive correlation between serum leptin and NO levels (r=0.78), however, a weak correlation was found between serum leptin and VEGF and VEGFR-1 concentrations.
