We estimated pedigree-based, SNP-based, and bivariate heritabilities for traditional glycemic biomarkers (fasting glucose, HbA1c), and nontraditional biomarkers (fructosamine, glycated albumin, 1,5-AG) among white participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study (N = 400 first-degree relatives from sibships, N = 5,575 unrelated individuals).
In this study, we aim to characterize the nature and magnitude of the prospective association between serum albumin and incident AF in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study and investigate any causal relevance to the association between them.
S1P bound to albumin exerts both beneficial and harmful effects in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, while S1P bound to apoM strengthens anti-atherosclerotic properties and might weaken the pro-atherosclerotic properties of S1P.
Measures of serum albumin, carotid intima media thickness ([cIMT] surrogate marker of atherosclerosis), inflammation, T cells, monocyte activation, and gut integrity were assessed at baseline, 48 and 96 weeks later.
This may include measurement of inflammatory markers, subclinical indicators of atherosclerosis (e.g., coronary artery calcium and ankle brachial index), urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, and the level of lipoprotein (a).
Twenty-four-hour urinary albumin excretion and markers of arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, central and peripheral pulse pressure, central BP) and atherosclerosis (carotid intima-media thickness) were assessed.
We measured fructosamine, glycated albumin, and 1,5-AG in a community-based sample of US black and white adults who participated in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.
We performed genome-wide association studies of fructosamine and glycated albumin among 2,104 black and 7,647 white participants without diabetes in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study and replicated findings in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study.
Plasma levels of systemic inflammatory markers (fibrinogen, albumin, white blood cell count, von Willebrand factor, and Factor VIII) were assessed at baseline in 1,633 participants (mean age 53 [5] years, 60% female, 27% African American) enrolled in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.
In the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (n = 13,277 from 4 US communities), we used structural equation modeling to estimate the association between serum 1,5-AG levels and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) from baseline (1990-1992) through 2013 with adjustment for demographics, risk factors, a latent variable for glycemia (diabetes status, fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fructosamine, glycated albumin), and a latent variable for kidney function (creatinine, cystatin C, β2-microglobulin).
Biomarkers such as homocysteine (Hcy), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and urine albumin(microalbumin) (UAE) have involved the pathophysiological development of arteriosclerosis.
(Carboxymethyl)lysine-modified albumin isolated from poorly controlled type 1 diabetic patients impairs ABCA-1-mediated reverse cholesterol transport and elicits intracellular lipid accumulation, possibly contributing to atherosclerosis.
We analyzed the association of ghrelin variants with body mass index (BMI), albumin as a marker of malnutrition and plasma lipids as risk factors for atherosclerosis in hemodialyzed patients, in whom malnutrition and accelerated atherosclerosis are common complications.
