Excerpt

Adipose tissue is increasingly recognised as an “endocrine factory”, releasing many newly identified hormones such as leptin, resistin, adiponectin etc. These discoveries have stirred enthusiasm for investigating “older” hormones that are also released from adipose tissue. One of these is cortisol, putatively generated in excess in omental adipose tissue in obese people [1], increasing glucocorticoid receptor activation in adipose and being released into the portal circulation to act also in the liver and exacerbate the metabolic complications of the obesity. …

Auch kleine Entscheidungen im Alltag einer Praxis können einen großen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz leisten. Die neue Leitlinie zur "klimabewussten Verordnung von Inhalativa" geht mit gutem Beispiel voran, denn der Wechsel vom klimaschädlichen Dosieraerosol zum Pulverinhalator spart viele Tonnen CO2. Leitlinienautor PD Dr. Guido Schmiemann erklärt, warum nicht nur die Umwelt, sondern auch Patientinnen und Patienten davon profitieren.
