Phase 1.Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, serum glucose, HbA1C, lipids, leptin, cortisol, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), metabolic syndrome and the frequencies of SNPs were assessed in 56 CLZ-treated patients (78.6% males).Phase 2.
We demonstrated previously that offspring born to pregnant mice lacking the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS+/-) gene have hypertension (HTN) as adults and, when fed a high-fat diet (HFD), develop a metabolic syndrome (MS) phenotype.
Leptin promotes adequate caloric intake and glycemia in healthy lean individuals, harnessing the benefits of the ideal therapy against metabolic syndrome.
The adipokines DPP-4 and leptin in the serum can influence the body fat distribution of patients with T2MD; there is an important association of DPP-4, leptin and ADPN levels with MS, which may be used as therapeutic targets for multiple metabolism disorders of T2MD.
Patients with MetS had higher levels of leptin (14 ± 12.4) compared with those without MetS (11.2 ± 9.3 vs. 7 ± 7.1 obese and normal weight without MetS, respectively; p = .002).
In this work we investigated the following: i) whether CAV1 is a quantitative trait locus of clustering of atherothrombotic traits associated with MS; ii) whether CVA1 is associated with hypertension or MS in hypertensive patients; and iii) whether genetic interaction between NOS3 and CAV1 is involved in the susceptibility or protection to hypertension associated with MS. To carry out the study, we genotyped 285 randomly selected individuals and 175 hypertensive patients, all of them < or = 60 years old, with two polymorphisms of the CAV1 gene: the 22285 C>T and the 22375-22375 del AC (GenBank AF125348), and the 1132T>C polymorphism of the NOS3 gene.
A concentration of leptin > 52.18 pg/ml (AUC = 0.81, <i>p</i> < 0.0001) and resistin > 4419.27 ng/ml (AUC = 0.67, <i>p</i> = 0.049) had a good predictive value for improvement of the LVEF in the patients without MeS.
Multivariate analysis revealed fasting plasma glucose to be the only MetS component being independently associated with expression of IL-18 in AT (p < 0.05).
Disturbances in leptin and insulin signaling pathways are related to obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS) with increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
These findings suggest that SIRT1 might be a new therapeutic target for the prevention of disease related to insulin resistance, such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus, although direct evidence from clinical studies in humans is needed to prove this possibility.
Low vitamin D level was associated with metabolic syndrome and high leptin level in subjects with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a community-based study.
The NAD<sup>+</sup>-dependent deacetylase SIRT1, which is associated with the improvement of metabolic syndromes, such as type 2 diabetes, is a well-known longevity-related gene.
The addition of leptin and adiponectin to the regression models did not substantially change the impact of thyroid hormones on components of MS. Our data suggest that, even within the euthyroid range, excess of truncal adipose tissue is associated with variations in FT4.
The association between SAA and leptin suggests an interaction between these two adipokines, which may have implications in inflammatory processes related to obesity and the metabolic syndrome.
Relationships of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (free T<sub>4</sub>) with leptin, adiponectin and the L/A ratio in euthyroid subjects were documented in 67 fasting subjects with metabolic syndrome (Mets) and 86 euthyroid subjects without MetS (TSH and free T<sub>4</sub> levels within the institutional reference range).
Susceptibility disorders for AD, including obesity, type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome have been linked to increases in the proinflammatory cytokine, IL-18, which also regulates multiple AD related proteins.
Although the associations between adiponectin, leptin, resistin and metabolic abnormalities in our paediatric population were similar to those in adults, correlations of FGF21 levels with obesity, IR and MetS were the inverse of those found in adults.
