Conversely, serum resistin levels have been found to decline with decreased adiposity following medical treatment. Specifically, central obesity (waistline adipose tissue) seems to be the foremost region of adipose tissue contributing to rising levels of serum resistin.
Asphyxia or asphyxiation is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from abnormal breathing. An example of asphyxia is choking. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which affects primarily the tissues and organs. There are many circumstances that can induce asphyxia, all of which are characterized by an inability of an individual to acquire sufficient oxygen through breathing for an extended period of time. Asphyxia can cause coma or death.
Overview. Asphyxia is a term derived from Greek that literally translates as stopping of the pulse.. This term refers to a multi-etiologic set of conditions in which there is inadequate delivery, uptake and/or utilization of oxygen by the bodyâs tissues/cells, often accompanied by carbon dioxide retention.his type of asphyxia is often considered a type of suffocation. Choking. Choking involves the blockage of internal airways (posterior pharynx, larynx, trachea, and/or bronchi) by a foreign object (eg, toy balloon lodged in child's airway, food bolus impacted at epiglottis).
