Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted protein produced by various tissues in the body including the liver, adipose tissue and bone. Autotaxin (ATX) is an enzyme with a phospholipase D activity responsible for cleavage of lysophosphatidyl-choline (LPC) in lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). LPA is a bio phospholipid, which acts as a growth factor, affecting proliferation, differentiation, and migration. It has been shown that the biological effect of LPA could be the direct consequence of loc...

Background: While the relationship between visceral (VFAT) and subcutaneous (SFAT) fat mass with cardiometabolic risk has been demonstrated in adults, fat mass evolution during teenagehood remains poorly explored and usually assessed with irradiative (CT) or expensive (MRI) techniques. Our aim was to evaluate a novel technique derived from DXA to assess VFAT and SFAT in healthy teenagers.Subjects and methods: Healthy teenagers from the VITADOS study unde...

Rational: Mortality due to non-small cell lung cancers is the first cause of cancer death in men around the world. Lung adenocarcinoma regularly induces bone metastases responsible for high morbidity and impaired life quality. Overall survival of these patients is poor. Thus we aimed to identify if some bone and metabolic parameters were associated with overall survival.Patients and Methods: POUMOS is a prospective cohort of patients suffering from adeno...
