Plasma NOV/CCN3 Levels Are Closely Associated with Obesity in Patients with Metabolic Disorders

Abstract: ObjectiveEvidence points to a founder of the multifunctional CCN family, NOV/CCN3, as a circulating molecule involved in cardiac development, vascular homeostasis and inflammation. No data are available on the relationship between plasma NOV/CCN3 levels and cardiovascular risk factors in humans. This study investigated the possible relationship between plasma NOV levels and cardiovascular risk factors in humans.MethodsNOV levels were measured in the plasma from 594 adults with a hyperlipidemia history and/or w… Show more

“…Thus, the weight loss-induced changes in circulating WISP1 most likely originated from adipose tissue rather than from the liver or other organs. Another CCN family member, NOV, also is associated with obesity, and NOV levels in circulation are decreased after weight reduction due to bariatric surgery (11). In line with the present data, circulating NOV levels are higher in women than in men (11).…”

In line with the present data, circulating NOV levels are higher in women than in men (11). Thus, the sex differences in the changes of WISP1 concentration after weight loss in the present study might reflect regulation of CCN peptide production by sex hormones (28) and needs further investigation.…”

“…Measurements of plasma NOV concentrations in a large cohort of patients screened for cardiometabolic diseases, in which 60% of the patients had a BMI above 30 kg/m 2 , revealed, for the first time, a strong relationship between plasma NOV concentrations and obesity (21). Plasma NOV levels were also correlated with weight loss in patients who had undergone bariatric surgery.…”
