[PMID: 37341649 PMCID: PMC10836891 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000002718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of bariatric surgery on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) control can be assessed based on predictive models of T2DM remission. Various models have been externally verified internationally. However, long-term validated results after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) surgery are lacking. The best model for the Chinese population is also unknown. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed Chinese population data 5 years after LSG at Beijing Shijitan Hospital in China between March 2009 and December 2016. The independent t -test, Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-squared test were used to compare characteristics between T2DM remission and non-remission groups. We evaluated the predictive efficacy of each model for long-term T2DM remission after LSG by calculating the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, Youden index, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and predicted-to-observed ratio, and performed calibration using Hosmer-Lemeshow test for 11 prediction models. RESULTS We enrolled 108 patients, including 44 (40.7%) men, with a mean age of 35.5 years. The mean body mass index was 40.3 ± 9.1 kg/m 2 , the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) was (75.9 ± 30.4)%, and the percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) was (29.1± 10.6)%. The mean glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level was (7.3 ± 1.8)% preoperatively and decreased to (5.9 ± 1.0)% 5 years after LSG. The 5-year postoperative complete and partial remission rates of T2DM were 50.9% [55/108] and 27.8% [30/108], respectively. Six models, i.e., "ABCD", individualized metabolic surgery (IMS), advanced-DiaRem, DiaBetter, Dixon et al' s regression model, and Panunzi et al 's regression model, showed a good discrimination ability (all AUC >0.8). The "ABCD" (sensitivity, 74%; specificity, 80%; AUC, 0.82 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.74-0.89]), IMS (sensitivity, 78%; specificity, 84%; AUC, 0.82 [95% CI: 0.73-0.89]), and Panunzi et al' s regression models (sensitivity, 78%; specificity, 91%; AUC, 0.86 [95% CI: 0.78-0.92]) showed good discernibility. In the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, except for DiaRem ( P <0.01), DiaBetter ( P <0.01), Hayes et al ( P = 0.03), Park et al ( P = 0.02), and Ramos-Levi et al' s ( P <0.01) models, all models had a satifactory fit results ( P >0.05). The P values of calibration results of the "ABCD" and IMS were 0.07 and 0.14, respectively. The predicted-to-observed ratios of the "ABCD" and IMS were 0.87 and 0.89, respectively. CONCLUSION The prediction model IMS was recommended for clinical use because of excellent predictive performance, good statistical test results, and simple and practical design features.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome combines major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, making deeper insight into its pathogenesis important. We here explore the mechanistic basis of metabolic syndrome by recruiting an essential patient cohort and performing extensive gene expression profiling. The mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism enzyme acyl-CoA synthetase medium-chain family member 3 (ACSM3) was identified to be significantly lower expressed in the peripheral blood of metabolic syndrome patients. In line, hepatic ACSM3 expression was decreased in mice with metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, Acsm3 knockout mice showed glucose and lipid metabolic abnormalities, and hepatic accumulation of the ACSM3 fatty acid substrate lauric acid. Acsm3 depletion markedly decreased mitochondrial function and stimulated signaling via the p38 MAPK pathway cascade. Consistently, Acsm3 knockout mouse exhibited abnormal mitochondrial morphology, decreased ATP contents, and enhanced ROS levels in their livers. Mechanistically, Acsm3 deficiency, and lauric acid accumulation activated nuclear receptor Hnf4α-p38 MAPK signaling. In line, the p38 inhibitor Adezmapimod effectively rescued the Acsm3 depletion phenotype. Together, these findings show that disease-associated loss of ACSM3 facilitates mitochondrial dysfunction via a lauric acid-HNF4a-p38 MAPK axis, suggesting a novel therapeutic vulnerability in systemic metabolic dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overweight and obesity epidemic is still expanding, and it is affecting women of childbearing age. Multiple studies have shown unmatched results concerning the effect of body mass index (BMI) besides gestational weight gain (GWG) on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. This study aims to determine the effect of each of the two anthropometric indicators: pre-gestational BMI and gestational weight gain on the course of pregnancy, and neonatal outcomes. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted at Notre Dame de Secours University Hospital (CHU-NDS) Jbeil-Lebanon. The data was collected from the hospital archive. Out of 804 deliveries during 2020, 583 women were included after randomly choosing their files and eliminating those with exclusion criteria or incomplete data. RESULTS Underweight/healthy BMI mothers had a higher chance of having low GWG (45.5%), vaginal delivery (51.3%), and a baby of appropriate size (78.6%) or small size for gestational age (10.4%). Obese women had a higher risk of excessive GWG (49.3%), delivery via C-section. (69.3%), and large for gestational age babies (26.7%). Mothers who had low GWG were at a higher risk of having babies of appropriate size (80.1%) or small size for gestational age (13.1%). Mothers who had high GWG had a higher risk of having baby boys (58.9%), large for their gestational age (26.1%), with hypoglycemia at birth (20.6%). CONCLUSION Both extremes of BMI and GWG are linked to adverse neonatal outcomes. This highlights the importance of weight monitoring even during pregnancy to prevent its negative impact on neonates.

Abstract
Despite the abundance of registered clinical trials worldwide, the availability of effective drugs for obesity treatment is limited due to their associated side effects. Thus, there is growing interest in therapies that stimulate energy expenditure in white adipose tissue. Recently, we demonstrated that the delivery of a miR-21 mimic using JetPEI effectively inhibits weight gain in an obese mouse model by promoting metabolism, browning, and thermogenesis, suggesting the potential of miR-21 mimic as a treatment for obesity. Despite these promising results, the implementation of more advanced delivery system techniques for miR-21 mimic would greatly enhance the advancement of safe and efficient treatment approaches for individuals with obesity in the future. Our objective is to explore whether a new delivery system based on gold nanoparticles and Gemini surfactants (Au@16-ph-16) can replicate the favorable effects of the miR-21 mimic on weight gain, browning, and thermogenesis. We found that dosages as low as 0.2 μg miR-21 mimic /animal significantly inhibited weight gain and induced browning and thermogenic parameters. This was evidenced by the upregulation of specific genes and proteins associated with these processes, as well as the biogenesis of beige adipocytes and mitochondria. Significant increases in miR-21 levels were observed in adipose tissue but not in other tissue types. Our data indicates that Au@16-ph-16 could serve as an effective delivery system for miRNA mimics, suggesting its potential suitability for the development of future clinical treatments against obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meal pattern is a potential health determinant. Previously, mean values for properties of meal pattern, such as daily meal frequency, have been considered. Means, however, obscure variability between-day (irregular or chaotic eating). This systematic review aimed to identify and critique published methods used to characterise between-day variability in meal pattern, and to explore relationships between this and obesity, as well as associated health outcomes. METHODS Using relevant databases, a systematic search was undertaken for studies with adults and children in which between-day variability in meal pattern was measured, and related to body weight, metabolic syndrome components and cognitive function. RESULTS In 34 papers identified (28 observational and six intervention studies), between-day variability in meal pattern was characterised by a variety of methods. These ranged from single questions about intake regularity to more complex methods quantifying the degree of variability. Assumptions were made, such as there being three main meals, resulting in dissociation from the "clock time" of eating. In 24 of the papers, between-day variability in meal pattern was associated with negative weight and health outcomes including higher weight, reduced thermogenic response to meals and poorer academic achievement. CONCLUSIONS Between-day variability in meal pattern is a promising research area that might inform low-cost public health interventions. However, current methods of characterising between-day variability tend to make assumptions and be inconsistent in the meal pattern properties considered. Well controlled dietary intervention studies are required to confirm causation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited studies looking at thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) outcomes in obese and overweight patients. Our objective was to determine the rate of complications, reintervention, and short-term mortality in normal weight, overweight, and obese patients undergoing TEVAR. METHODS Patients undergoing TEVAR at a large tertiary hospital from October 2007 to January 2020 were analyzed. Patients were stratified into 3 cohorts based on body mass index (BMI): normal (18.5-25 kg/m2), overweight (25-30 kg/m2), and obese (>30 kg/m2). Primary outcomes were 30-day and 1-year survival. Intraoperative, in-hospital, and postdischarge complications were assessed as secondary outcomes using the Clavian-Dindo classification system. In addition, reinterventions associated with the index TEVAR procedure as a secondary outcome. RESULTS Among 204 patients fitting the study criteria, we identified 65 with normal BMI, 78 overweight, and 61 obese patients. Obese patients were younger than the overweight and normal BMI patients (mean age 62.2 vs. 66.7 vs. 70.7, respectively, P = 0.003). In terms of TEVAR indication, the obese cohort had the highest percentage of patients with type B aortic dissection (36.4%), while the normal BMI cohort had the higher proportion of patients undergoing TEVAR for isolated thoracic aortic aneurysm (63.9%). Intraoperative complications did not significantly differ between cohorts. Postoperatively, in-hospital complications, postdischarge complications and 30-day return to the operative room did not differ significantly between study cohorts. Odds of reintervention did not differ significantly between cohorts, both on univariate and multivariate analysis. Log-rank test of Kaplan Meier analysis revealed no difference in reintervention-free survival (P = 0.22). Thirty-day mortality and 1-year overall survival were similar across cohorts. Both univariate and multivariate logarithmic regression revealed no difference in likelihood of 30-day mortality between the obese and normal cohort. CONCLUSIONS There were no measurable differences in complications, reinterventions, or mortality, suggesting that vascular surgeons can perform TEVAR across a spectrum of BMI without compromising outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research has reported that prenatal exposure to dexamethasone (PDE) results in organ dysplasia and increased disease susceptibility in offspring. This study aimed to investigate the epigenetic mechanism of metabolic syndrome induced by PDE in offspring. METHODS Pregnant Wistar rats were administered dexamethasone, and their offspring's serum and liver tissues were analyzed. The hepatocyte differentiation model was established to unveil the molecular mechanism. Neonatal cord blood samples were collected to validate the phenomenon and mechanism. RESULTS The findings demonstrated that PDE leads to insulin resistance and typical metabolic syndrome traits in adult offspring rats, which originated from fetal liver dysplasia. Additionally, PDE reduced serum corticosterone level and inhibited hepatic insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) signaling in fetal rats. It further revealed that liver dysplasia and functional impairment induced by PDE persist after birth, driven by the continuous downregulation of serum corticosterone and hepatic IGF1 signaling. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that low endogenous corticosterone reduces the histone 3 lysine 9 acetylation (H3K27ac) level of IGF1 and its expression by blocking glucocorticoid receptor α, special protein 1, and P300 into the nucleus, resulting in hepatocyte differentiation inhibition and liver dysplasia. Intriguingly, neonatal cord blood samples validated the link between reduced liver function in neonates induced by PDE and decreased serum cortisol and IGF1 levels. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that low endogenous glucocorticoid level under PDE lead to liver dysplasia by downregulating the H3K27ac level of IGF1 and its expression, ultimately contributing to metabolic syndrome in adult offspring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) is a novel obesity index, and gallstones are associated with obesity. This study aimed to investigate the possible relationship between WWI and gallstones. METHODS The datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2020 were used in a cross-sectional investigation. Multivariate linear regression models were used to examine the linear connection between WWI and gallstones incidence. Fitted smoothing curves and threshold effect analysis were used to describe the nonlinear relationship. RESULTS The study comprised 8004 participants over the age of 20, including 833 reported with gallstones. Participants in the higher WWI tertile tended to have a higher gallstones prevalence. In the final adjusted model, a positive association between WWI and gallstones prevalence was observed (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.20‒1.49). Participants in the highest WWI tertile had a significantly 71% higher risk of gallstones than those in the lowest WWI tertile (OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.35‒2.17). A nonlinear correlation was found between the WWI and gallstones prevalence, with an inflection point of 12.7. CONCLUSIONS Our study found that higher WWI levels connected with increased prevalence of gallstones. However, more prospective studies are needed to validate our findings.

[PMID: 38216931 PMCID: PMC10787468 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02013-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The TyG index, a prominent metric for assessing insulin resistance, has gained traction as a prognostic tool for cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, the understanding of the prognostic significance of the extent of coronary artery stenosis in individuals afflicted with H-type hypertension remains limited. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted at Wuhan Third Hospital, including a cohort of 320 inpatients who were diagnosed with hypertension in combination with coronary artery disease. The study period spanned from January 1, 2021, to February 1, 2023. The study cohort was stratified based on the severity of stenosis into three distinct groups: low stenosis, medium stenosis, and high stenosis, as determined by the Gensini score derived from coronary angiography findings. The present study aimed to investigate the association between the severity of coronary stenosis and the number of lesion branches, utilizing the TyG index as a testing indicator. The predictive ability of TyG for coronary lesion severity was assessed using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The results of our study indicate a positive correlation between elevated levels of TyG and an increased susceptibility to severe stenosis in individuals diagnosed with H-type hypertension. Upon careful consideration of potential confounding variables, it has been observed that the TyG index exhibits a robust association with the likelihood of severe stenosis in individuals with H-type hypertension (odds ratio [OR] = 4000, 95% confidence interval CI 2.411-6.635, p = 0.0001), as well as the prevalence of multivessel disease (OR = 1.862, 95% CI 1.036-3.348, p < 0.0001). The TyG index demonstrated superior predictive ability for severe coronary stenosis in patients with H-type hypertension compared to those without H-type hypertension (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.888, 95% confidence interval CI 0.838-0.939, p < 0.0001, versus AUC = 0.615, 95% CI 0.494-0.737, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The TyG index is an independent risk factor for the degree of coronary stenosis and a better predictor in patients with H-type hypertension combined with coronary artery disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of electroacupuncture for the treatment of obesity. METHODS We searched 8 electronic databases for articles published between 2005 and 2021, including only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the review. The intervention groups received either electroacupuncture alone or electroacupuncture with standard care, whereas the control groups received sham electroacupuncture, standard care, or no treatment. The primary outcome was the body mass index (BMI), and the secondary outcomes were the body weight (BW), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), body fat mass, body fat percentage, and adverse effects. Continuous outcome data are presented as mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS This systematic review and meta-analysis included 13 RCTs involving 779 participants. Results revealed that the BMI (MD: -0.98; 95% CI: -1.35 to -0.61), BW (MD: -1.89; 95% CI: -2.97 to -0.80), WC (MD: -2.67; 95% CI: -4.52 to -0.82), and WHR (MD: -0.03; 95% CI: -0.06 to -0.01) were significantly improved in the intervention groups compared with those in the control groups. Adverse effects were reported in 5 studies. The most commonly used acupoint in the abdomen was ST25, whereas the most commonly used acupoints in other regions were ST36 and SP6 for the treatment of obesity. ST25 was the most commonly used acupoint connected by electroacupuncture. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis suggested that electroacupuncture is an effective and safe therapy for simple obesity. To increase the reliability of this study, further detailed, long-term studies should be conducted on the effects of electroacupuncture on obesity.

Abstract
Obesity is a major driving factor in the incidence, progression, and poor treatment response in gastrointestinal cancers. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the impact of obesity and its resulting metabolic perturbations across four gastrointestinal cancer types, namely, oesophageal, gastric, liver, and colorectal cancer. Importantly, not all obese phenotypes are equal. Obese adipose tissue heterogeneity depends on the location, structure, cellular profile (including resident immune cell populations), and dietary fatty acid intake. We discuss whether adipose heterogeneity impacts the tumorigenic environment. Dietary fat quality, in particular saturated fatty acids, promotes a hypertrophic, pro-inflammatory adipose profile, in contrast to monounsaturated fatty acids, resulting in a hyperplastic, less inflammatory adipose phenotype. The purpose of this review is to examine the impact of obesity, including dietary fat quality, on adipose tissue biology and oncogenesis, specifically focusing on lipid metabolism and inflammatory mechanisms. This is achieved with a particular focus on gastrointestinal cancers as exemplar models of obesity-associated cancers.

Abstract
Obesity is a complex, chronic disease requiring a multidisciplinary approach to its management. In clinical practice, body mass index and waist-related measurements can be used for obesity screening. The estimated prevalence of obesity among adults worldwide is 12%. With the expected further increase in overall obesity prevalence, clinicians will increasingly be managing patients with obesity. Energy balance is regulated by a complex neurohumoral system that involves the central nervous system and circulating mediators, among which leptin is the most studied. The functioning of these systems is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Obesity generally occurs when a genetically predisposed individual lives in an obesogenic environment for a long period. Cardiologists are deeply involved in evaluating patients with obesity. Cardiovascular risk profile is one of the most important items to be quantified to understand the health risk due to obesity and the clinical benefit that a single patient can obtain with weight loss. At the individual level, appropriate patient involvement, the detection of potential obesity causes, and a multidisciplinary approach are tools that can improve clinical outcomes. In the near future, we will probably have new pharmacological tools at our disposal that will facilitate achieving and maintaining weight loss. However, pharmacological treatment alone cannot cure such a complex disease. The aim of this paper is to summarize some key points of this field, such as obesity definition and measurement tools, its epidemiology, the main mechanisms underlying energy homeostasis, health consequences of obesity with a focus on cardiovascular diseases and the obesity paradox.Level of evidence V: report of expert committees.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been lack of evidence on the association between healthy dietary patterns and metabolic health status of adolescents. The present study aimed to evaluate the association between alternative healthy eating index (AHEI) and metabolic health status among a relatively representative sample of Iranian adolescents with overweight/obesity. METHODS Adolescents with extra body weight (n = 203, aged 12-18 y), were selected for this cross-sectional study by a multistage cluster random-sampling method. Habitual dietary intakes and diet quality of individuals were assessed using validated food frequency questionnaire and AHEI-2010, respectively. Data on other covariates were also gathered by pre-tested questionnaires. To determine fasting glucose, insulin and lipid profiles, fasting blood samples were collected. Participants were categorized as having metabolically healthy overweight/obesity (MHO) or metabolically unhealthy overweight/obesity (MUO) phenotypes, based on two approaches (International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and combination of IDF with Homeostasis Model Assessment Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR)). RESULTS The overall prevalence of MUO was 38.9% (based on IDF criteria) and 33.0% (based on IDF/HOMA-IR criteria). After considering all potential confounders, participants in highest tertiles of AHEI-2010 had lower odds of MUO profile according to both IDF (OR = 0.05; 95% CI: 0.01-0.15) and IDF/HOMA-IR (OR = 0.05; 95% CI: 0.02-0.19) definitions. This association was stronger in adolescents with overweight compared with obese ones and also among girls than boys. Moreover, each unit increase in AHEI-2010 score was associated with lower risk of MUO based on both criteria. CONCLUSIONS Higher adherence to AHEI-2010 was inversely associated with odds of MUO in Iranian adolescents with overweight/obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease with a high, increasing worldwide prevalence. Genetic causes account for 7% of the cases in children with extreme obesity. DATA SOURCES This narrative review was conducted by searching for papers published in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and SciELO databases and included 161 articles. The search used the following search terms: "obesity", "obesity and genetics", "leptin", "Prader-Willi syndrome", and "melanocortins". The types of studies included were systematic reviews, clinical trials, prospective cohort studies, cross-sectional and prospective studies, narrative reviews, and case reports. RESULTS The leptin-melanocortin pathway is primarily responsible for the regulation of appetite and body weight. However, several important aspects of the pathophysiology of obesity remain unknown. Genetic causes of obesity can be grouped into syndromic, monogenic, and polygenic causes and should be assessed in children with extreme obesity before the age of 5 years, hyperphagia, or a family history of extreme obesity. A microarray study, an analysis of the melanocortin type 4 receptor gene mutations and leptin levels should be performed for this purpose. There are three therapeutic levels: lifestyle modifications, pharmacological treatment, and bariatric surgery. CONCLUSIONS Genetic study technologies are in constant development; however, we are still far from having a personalized approach to genetic causes of obesity. A significant proportion of the affected individuals are associated with genetic causes; however, there are still barriers to its approach, as it continues to be underdiagnosed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are often comorbid and stigmatized. This can negatively affect quality of life (QOL). Other studies have primarily used the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ), which focuses on liver-related symptoms, to characterize QOL, but most MASLD patients have only mild liver disease, and CLDQ might overlook QOL issues pertaining to them. We aimed to determine the impact of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) on QOL in obese patients using a 136-item generic QOL questionnaire. METHODS We included participants with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 who all fully answered the sickness impact profile (SIP, range 0-100, normal = 3.4, 100 = worst) and had a liver biopsy to diagnose MASLD. Sociodemographics, comorbidity and biometric data were obtained from all participants. RESULTS Of 176 (mean age 45.9 years, 70% female, 12.6 years of education), 132 had no-MASH and 44 MASH. On stepwise multivariable regression analysis, divorce (p = .011), unemployment (p < .003) and hepatic steatosis (p = .01) were associated with poor overall QOL. No other somatic comorbidity was associated. MASH patients more frequently than no-MASH reported physical discomfort (48% vs. 30%, p = .04), inability to do daily activities (29% vs. 54%, p = .006) and attention problems (32% vs. 57%, p = .003). CONCLUSION MASLD severity was the only somatic determinant of QOL in patients with obesity in this cohort, and a large fraction reported debilitating symptoms. Patients and caregivers should consider the limitations this poses when planning interventions.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of rapeseed oil on body composition, blood glucose and lipid metabolism in people with overweight and obesity compared to other cooking oils. We searched eight databases for randomized controlled studies (including randomized crossover trials). The risk of bias for the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria were used to evaluate the quality of the outcomes. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. Sensitivity analysis was used to check the stability of the pooled results. Statistical analysis was carried out using Review Manager 5.3 software. As a result, fifteen randomized controlled studies (including six parallel studies and nine crossover studies) were included in this study. Compared to other edible oils, rapeseed oil significantly reduced low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (MD = -0.14 mmol/L, 95% CI: -0.21, -0.08, I2 = 0%, P < 0.0001), apolipoprotein B (ApoB) (MD = -0.03 g/L, 95% CI: -0.05, -0.01, I2 = 0%, P = 0.0003), ApoB/ApoA1 (MD = -0.02, 95% CI: -0.04, -0.00, I2 = 0%, P = 0.02) and insulin (MD = -12.45 pmol/L, 95% CI: -19.61, -5.29, I2 = 37%, P = 0.0007) levels, and increased fasting glucose (MD = 0.16 mmol/L, 95% CI: 0.05, 0.27, I2 = 27%, P = 0.003) levels. However, the differences in body weight and body composition between rapeseed oil and control oils were not significant. In a word, rapeseed oil is effective in reducing LDL-C, ApoB and ApoB/ApoA1 levels in people with overweight and obesity, which is helpful in preventing and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has been widely disseminated as a surgical treatment for obesity and associated comorbidities, and currently it is one of the most performed surgeries in the world. Experimental research is becoming increasingly relevant to characterize the pathophysiological mechanisms induced by it. Objective: The aim of this study was to standardize an experimental model of SG in rats with obesity induced using a cafeteria diet (CAF) and evaluate variations in weight and glycemic control after vertical SG, maintaining the CAF. Materials and Methods: Twenty Rattus norvegicus albinus rats, Wistar strain, with an average weight of 250 g were used. The animals were randomized into two groups and underwent 4 weeks of obesity induction before the procedure. In 10 animals of the SG group, vertical SG was performed, and in 10 animals of the control/sham (C) group, simulated surgery was performed, consisting of laparotomy and bidigital compression of the stomach. The animals were followed for a total of 8 weeks, with the weight assessed weekly and fasting blood glucose assessed before the start of the CAF, at the time of surgery, and after 4 weeks of the postoperative period, when they were sacrificed. Results: Before obesity induction, the average weight was 257.8 g in the SG group 266.1 g in the C group. After obesity induction, the average weight was 384 g in the vertical sleeve gastrectomy group and 374.8 g in the C group. In the fourth postoperative week, the average weight was 391.6 g in the VSG group and 436.6 g in the C group. The average blood glucose levels were 88.7, 101.8, and 91.3 mg/dL in the VSG group and 86.6, 103.1, and 109.4 mg/dL in the C group, respectively, before the start of the diet, in the fourth preoperative week, and in the fourth postoperative week. Conclusions: Vertical SG in rats is feasible and promotes glycemic control in the postoperative period. CAF allows induction of obesity and changes in blood glucose.

Nutr Res 2024; 121:95-107.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), an inflammatory cytokine, induces lipolysis and increases circulating concentrations of free fatty acids. In addition, TNFα is the first adipokine produced by adipose tissue in obesity, contributing to obesity-associated metabolic disease. Given that benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) is a well-known anti-inflammatory agent, we hypothesized that BITC can ameliorate TNFα-induced lipolysis and investigated the working mechanisms involved. We first challenged 3T3-L1 adipocytes with TNFα to induce lipolysis, which was confirmed by increased glycerol release, decreased protein expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and perilipin 1 (PLIN1), and increased phosphorylation of ERK, protein kinase A (PKA), and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL). However, inhibition of ERK or PKA significantly attenuated the lipolytic activity of TNFα. Meanwhile, pretreatment with BITC significantly ameliorated the lipolytic activity of TNFα; the TNFα-induced phosphorylation of ERK, PKA, and HSL; the TNFα-induced ubiquitination of PPARγ; the TNFα-induced decrease in PPARγ nuclear protein binding to PPAR response element; and the TNFα-induced decrease in PLIN1 protein expression. Our results indicate that BITC ameliorates TNFα-induced lipolysis by inhibiting the ERK/PKA/HSL signaling pathway, preventing PPARγ proteasomal degradation, and maintaining PLIN1 protein expression.

[PMID: 37816863 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-023-01394-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Overweight and obesity is a complex condition resulting from unbalanced energy homeostasis among various organs. However, systemic abnormalities in overweight and obese people are seldom explored in vivo by metabolic imaging techniques. The aim of this study was to determine metabolic abnormities throughout the body in overweight and obese adults using total-body positron emission tomography (PET) glucose uptake imaging. METHODS Thirty normal weight subjects [body mass index (BMI) < 25 kg/m2, 55.47 ± 13.94 years, 16 men and 14 women], and 26 overweight and obese subjects [BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, 52.38 ± 9.52 years, 21 men and 5 women] received whole-body 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET imaging using the uEXPLORER. Whole-body standardized uptake value normalized by lean body mass (SUL) images were calculated. Metabolic networks were constructed based on the whole-body SUL images using covariance network approach. Both group-level and individual-level network differences between normal weight and overweight/obese subjects were evaluated. Correlation analysis was conducted between network properties and BMI for the overweight/obese subjects. RESULTS Compared with normal weight subjects, overweight/obese subjects exhibited altered network connectivity strength in four network nodes, namely the pancreas (p = 0.033), spleen (p = 0.021), visceral adipose tissue (VAT) (p = 1.12 × 10-5) and bone (p = 0.021). Network deviations of overweight/obese subjects from the normal weight were positively correlated with BMI (r = 0.718, p = 3.64 × 10-5). In addition, overweight/obese subjects experienced altered connections between organs, and some of the altered connections, including pancreas-right lung and VAT-bilateral lung connections were significantly correlated with BMI. CONCLUSION Overweight/obese individuals exhibit metabolic alterations in organ level, and altered metabolic interactions at the systemic level. The proposed approach using total-body PET imaging can reveal individual metabolic variability and metabolic deviations between organs, which would open up a new path for understanding metabolic alterations in overweight and obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abdominal migraine (AM) is a clinical diagnosis specified by Rome IV and ICHD III as a functional gastrointestinal disease (FGID) and a migraine associated syndrome, respectively. Abdominal migraine in childhood and adolescence may continue with migraine headaches in adulthood. This disease is undiagnosed and undertreated, and thus far the FDA has not approved any drug for AM treatment. It was shown that changes in the kynurenine (KYN) pathway of tryptophan (TRP) metabolism played an important role in the pathogenesis and treatment of FIGDs and associated mood disorders. Changes in the KYN pathway were shown in migraine and therefore it may be involved in AM pathogenesis. FINDINGS Abdominal migraine reflects an impairment in the communication within the gut-brain axis. Treatment approaches in AM are based on the experience of physicians, presenting personal rather than evidence-based practice, including efficacy of some drugs in adult migraine. Non-pharmacological treatment of AM is aimed at preventing or ameliorating AM triggers and is based on the STRESS mnemonic. Metabolic treatments with riboflavin and coenzyme Q10 were effective in several cases of pediatric migraine, but in general, results on metabolic treatment in migraine in children are scarce and nonconclusive. Modulations within the KYN pathway of TRP metabolism induced by changes in TRP content in the diet, may ameliorate FGIDs and support their pharmacological treatment. Pharmacological manipulations of brain KYNs in animals have brought promising results for clinical applications. Obese children show a higher headache prevalence and may be especially predisposed to AM, and KYN metabolites showed an alternated distribution in obese individuals as compared with their normal-weight counterparts. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, controlled placebo-based clinical trials with dietary manipulation to adjust the amount of the product of the KYN pathway of TRP metabolism are justified in children and adolescents with AM, especially those with coexisting obesity. Further preclinical studies are needed to establish details of these trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excess weight, inflammation, and insulin resistance (IR) are associated, but the prevalence of and biomarkers for IR in Latin children are unknown. PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the prevalence of IR in prepubertal and pubertal Latin children with excess weight and explore the usefulness of different biomarkers of low-grade inflammation for identifying IR status. METHODS Sixty-eight children (31 boys, 37 girls; approximately 11 years of age) with excess weight (overweight and obese) and 20 healthy normal-weight children (12 boys, 8 girls; approximately 12 years of age) were included. Anthropometric parameters, insulin, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and myeloperoxidase were assessed and IR was determined by homeostasis model assessment index (cutoff points: 2.67 and 2.22 in prepubertal boys and girls and 5.55 and 3.82 in pubertal boys and girls, respectively). Intergroup differences were compared, correlations were investigated using Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple linear regression analyses were performed to estimate the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and IR. RESULTS The prevalence of IR among overweight children was 62%. IL-6 levels differed between overweight and obese boys, while erythrocyte sedimentation rate, MCP-1, TNF-α, IL-6, hs-CRP, and sCD40L differed between obese and normal-weight boys. In contrast, sCD40L levels were increased in overweight versus normal-weight girls, while MCP-1, TNF-α, IL-6, and sCD40L differed between obese and normal-weight girls. Furthermore, MCP-1 and sCD40L levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were positively correlated with IR; however, a stepwise regression analysis that adjusted for the body mass index (BMI) z score, sex, and age showed that none were good predictors of IR status. CONCLUSION The prevalence of IR is high among Latin children with excess weight. Although some inflammatory biomarkers differed among groups, none robustly predicted IR.

Abstract
The intestinal microbiota, consisting of an estimated 10^10-10^11 organisms, regulate physiological processes involved in digestion, metabolism, and immunity. Surprisingly, these intestinal microorganisms have been found to influence tissues that are not directly in contact with the gut, such as adipose tissue, the liver, skeletal muscle, and the brain. This interaction takes place even when intestinal barrier function is uncompromised. An increasing body of evidence suggests that bacterial membrane vesicles (bMVs), in addition to bacterial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids, are able to mediate effects of the microbiota on these host tissues. The ability of bMVs to dissipate from the intestinal lumen into systemic circulation hereby facilitates the transport and presentation of bacterial components and metabolites to host organs. Importantly, there are indications that the interaction between bMVs and tissues or immune cells may play a role in the etiology of (chronic metabolic) disease. For example, the gut-derived bMV-mediated induction of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle cells and pro-inflammatory signaling by adipocytes possibly underlies diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. Here, we review the current knowledge on bMVs in the microbiota's effects on host energy/substrate metabolism with a focus on etiological roles in the onset and progression of metabolic disease. We furthermore illustrate that vesicle production by bacterial microbiota could potentially be modulated through lifestyle intervention to improve host metabolism.

Abstract
There is a strong association between obesity and coronary artery disease (CAD). Obesity is measured using traditional obesity parameters, such as body mass index, body adiposity index, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference. The aim of this study is to explore the association between traditional obesity parameters and the length of stay (LOS) among hospitalized CAD patients. An original correlative descriptive study was carried out using secondary data analysis, in which 220 hospitalized Jordanian CAD patients were recruited from Jordan northern and middle regions. Age, WC, triglycerides, and high- sensitivity C-reactive protein were all positive predictors of the total hospital LOS among hospitalized patients with CAD. The WC, age, triglycerides, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were significantly positively associated with total LOS. Healthcare providers, including nurses, should take into account these significant positive predictors of LOS to achieve better health outcomes and improve patient satisfaction.

Abstract
Plastics have become an integral part of our daily lives. In the environment, plastics break down into small pieces (<5 mm) that are referred to as microplastics. Microplastics are ubiquitous and widespread in the environment, and all living organisms are exposed to their effects. The present study provides new insights into the potential effects of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics on organisms via extracellular vesicle (EV)-mediated communication. The study demonstrated that serum-derived EVs are able to transport plastic particles. In addition, PET microplastics alter the content of miRNA in EVs. The identified differentially regulated miRNAs may target genes associated with lifestyle diseases, such as cardiovascular or metabolic diseases, and carcinogenesis. This work expands our understanding of PET microplastics' effects on organisms via EV-mediated communication and identifies directions for further research and strategies.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a growing disorder affecting thousands of people worldwide, especially in industrialised countries, increasing mortality. Oxidative stress, hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance, inflammation, dysbiosis, abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidaemia and hypertension are important factors linked to MS clusters of different pathologies, such as diabesity, cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. All biochemical changes observed in MS, such as dysregulation in the glucose and lipid metabolism, immune response, endothelial cell function and intestinal microbiota, promote pathological bridges between metabolic syndrome, diabesity and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders. This review aims to summarise metabolic syndrome's involvement in diabesity and highlight the link between MS and cardiovascular and neurological diseases. A better understanding of MS could promote a novel strategic approach to reduce MS comorbidities.

Abstract
Obesity induces inflammation in the hypothalamus and adipose tissue, resulting in metabolic disorders. A novel hypothalamic neuropeptide, neurosecretory protein GM (NPGM), was previously identified in the hypothalamus of vertebrates. While NPGM plays an important role in lipid metabolism in chicks, its metabolic regulatory effects in mammals remain unclear. In this study, a novel Cre driver line, NPGM-Cre, was generated for cell-specific manipulation. Cre-dependent overexpression of Npgm led to fat accumulation without increased food consumption in male NPGM-Cre mice. Chemogenetic activation of NPGM neurons in the hypothalamus acutely promoted feeding behavior and chronically resulted in a transient increase in body mass gain. Furthermore, the ablated NPGM neurons exhibited a tendency to be glucose intolerant, with infiltration of proinflammatory macrophages into the adipose tissue. These results suggest that NPGM neurons may regulate lipid storage and inflammatory responses, thereby maintaining glucose homeostasis.

Abstract
The long-term effects and safety of single-anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass have not been confirmed. The one anastomosis procedure carries the risk of bile reflux, and Braun anastomosis has the capacity to reduce bile reflux. This study was designed to compare the influences of bile reflux and histological changes in the esogastric sections of rats. Obese Sprague-Dawley rats underwent sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (RYTB) (n = 12), SASI (n = 12), SASI bypass with Braun anastomosis (BTB) (n = 12), esojejunostomy (EJ) (n = 12), and SHAM (n = 8) surgery. During the 12-week follow-up period, weight changes, glucose improvement, and changes in serum nutrition were evaluated. Histological expression and bile acid concentration in the rats in all groups were also evaluated. No significant differences in weight loss and glucose improvements were observed in the RYTB, SASI, and BTB groups. The RYTB and BTB groups had significantly lower bile acid concentration and albumin levels than the SASI group. In addition, mucosal height in the RYTB and BTB groups was significantly lower than in the SASI group. Braun anastomosis had a significant effect on anti-reflux. BTB may be a superior primary procedure due to its potential for parallel bariatric and metabolic improvements, effective anti-reflux effects, simplified operations, and avoidance of severe malnutrition. Further clinical studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Prognostic value of insulin resistance in patients with female reproductive system malignancies: A multicenter cohort study. Immun Inflamm Dis 2023; 11:e1107. [PMID: 38156375 PMCID: PMC10698827 DOI: 10.1002/iid3.1107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) and systemic inflammation are common in patients with cancer and are associated with poor prognosis. Few studies have reported IR in female reproductive system malignancies. This study investigated the prognostic value of IR and systemic inflammation in this population. METHODS A prospective multicenter real-world cohort study involving 571 patients diagnosed with female reproductive system malignancies was conducted. Lipid ratios (low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol [LHR], total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol [TCHR], triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol [TGHR], fasting triglyceride/glucose [TyG]) were used to reflect IR. Optimal cut-off values were determined using maximally selected rank statistics. The Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression were used to calculate the hazard ratios for overall survival. RESULTS Over half (55.90%) of the 571 patients with female reproductive system malignancies (mean age: 52 years) had cervical cancer. Both IR and inflammation were negatively correlated with overall survival in female reproductive system cancer patients. Multivariate survival analysis showed that patients with high LHR (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-2.25, p = .046), high TCHR (HR: 1.90, 95% CI:1.22-2.95, p = .005), high TGHR (HR: 1.66, 95% CI:1.17-2.36, p = .004), high TyG (HR: 1.64, 95% CI:1.13-2.40, p = .010), high neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR, HR: 2.03, 95% CI:1.44-2.86, p = .004) were significantly associated with worse prognosis. By calculating the concordance index of the four IR surrogate indicators, TyG was the most valuable indicator for the prognosis of patients with malignant tumors of the female reproductive system. High TyG combined with high NLR had improved prognostic value (HR: 3.22, 95% CI: 1.97-5.26, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS IR can be used as an independent predictor of prognosis in the female reproductive system malignancy population regardless of the IR substitution index. The combination of TyG and NLR could better predict the prognostic outcomes of women with breast cancer.

Association of Dietary Acid Load With Metabolic Syndrome and Its Components in Iranian Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study. Cureus 2023; 15:e50593. [PMID: 38222184 PMCID: PMC10788130 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.50593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains one of the leading health challenges worldwide. A combination of genetic and environmental factors has been implicated in the etiology of MetS. Diet is a changeable environmental risk factor, and dietary modifications could significantly reduce the incidence and mortality of numerous diseases, including MetS. Certain dietary factors may contribute to MetS by affecting the acid-base balance within the body. This study examined the association of dietary acid load (DAL) with MetS and its components in Iranian adults. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022 on 6356 Iranian adults aged 35-70 years. Potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net endogenous acid production (NEAP) as two indicators of DAL were calculated based on nutrient intake data from validated food frequency questionnaires. MetS and its components were defined according to the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the associations between DAL and MetS and its components. Age, energy intake, physical activity, education, marital status, home ownership, socioeconomic status, history of obesity-related disease, and calcium supplements were included in model I. Further adjustment in model II was made for body mass index. Results Higher NEAP scores were associated with increased odds of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the crude model (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.01-2.56, p trend = 0.06) in women, which was confirmed in the adjusted models. In model I, women in the last quintile of NEAP had 54% greater odds of having hypertriglyceridemia compared to the first quintile (OR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.007-2.36, p trend = 0.02). This association was still significant and even stronger after further adjustment for BMI (OR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.01-2.40, p trend = 0.01). In addition, in model I, men in the fourth quintile of NEAP had 5.68-fold greater odds of hyperglycemia compared to the first quintile (OR: 5.68, 95% CI: 1.18-27.25, p trend = 0.11). Similar results were found in the fully adjusted model (OR: 5.89, 95% CI: 1.19-28.99, p trend = 0.54). Conclusion There was no significant association between DAL and MetS. DAL was positively associated with the odds of low HDL-C and hypertriglyceridemia in women. Moreover, moderate DAL (NEAP) was associated with an increased odds of hyperglycemia in men.

Public Health Nutr 2023; 26:2780-2789. [PMID: 37990536 PMCID: PMC10755424 DOI: 10.1017/s1368980023002574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review aimed to investigate the association between dietary inflammatory potential and liver cancer to provide evidence regarding scientific dietary health education. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. SETTING A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify case-control or cohort studies that involved dietary inflammation index (DII)/empirical dietary inflammation pattern (EDIP) and liver cancer in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases. Using a combination of DII/EDIP and liver cancer as the search terms, the associations between DII/EDIP and liver cancer were then assessed. PARTICIPANTS Three case-control studies and two cohort studies were brought into the meta-analysis, with 225 713 enrolled participants. RESULTS Meta-analysis of categorical variables showed that DII/EDIP in the highest category increased the risk of liver cancer compared to DII/EDIP in the lowest category (relative risk (RR) = 2·35; 95 % CI 1·77, 3·13; P = 0·000) and with low heterogeneity across studies (I2 = 40·8 %, P = 0·119). Meta-analysis of continuous variables showed that significant positive association between liver cancer and DII/EDIP scores (RR = 1·24; 95 % CI 1·09, 1·40; P = 0·001), and no heterogeneity (I² = 0·0 %, P = 0·471). Stratified according to the study design, there was a significant positive association between liver cancer and DII/EDIP scores in both cohort studies (RR = 2·16; 95 % CI 1·51, 3·07; P = 0·000) and case-control studies (RR = 2·75; 95 % CI 1·71, 4·41; P = 0·000). CONCLUSION The higher the DII/EDIP score, the higher the risk of liver cancer. This finding may have prominent implications for the general population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying past temporal trends in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-associated liver cancer (NALC) can increase public awareness of the disease and facilitate future policy development. METHODS Annual deaths and age-standardized death rates (ASDR) for NALC from 1990 to 2019 were collected from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 study. The long-term trend and the critical inflection of mortality of NALC were detected by Joinpoint analysis. Age-period-cohort analysis was employed to evaluate the effects of age, period, and cohort. Last, decomposition analysis was used to reveal the aging and population growth effects for NALC burden. RESULTS Between 1990 and 2019, the ASDR of NALC witnessed an overall declining trend on a global scale, with a decrease in females and a stable trend in males. However, the global ASDR demonstrated a significant upward trend from 2010 to 2019. Southern sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia have the highest NALC burdens, while high socio-demographic index (SDI) region experienced the fastest escalation of NALC burdens over 30 years. The decomposition analysis revealed that population growth and aging were the primary catalysts behind the increase in global NALC deaths. Age-period-cohort analyses showed that NALC mortality declined the fastest among females aged 40-45 years in high SDI region, accompanied by a deteriorating period effect trend during the period of 2010-2019. CONCLUSION The global absolute deaths and ASDR of NALC have witnessed a rise in the past decade, with populations exhibiting considerable disparities based on sex, age, and region. Population growth, aging, and metabolism-related factors were the main factors behind the increase in global NALC deaths.

Metab Syndr Relat Disord 2023; 21:581-589. [PMID: 37843920 DOI: 10.1089/met.2023.0141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 10/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose: Vitamin D can both stimulate and inhibit adipogenesis, indicating that associations of the vitamin D level with some metabolic disorders may be nonlinear. This cross-sectional study aims to explore potential nonlinear associations of the 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] level with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components. Methods: Adults without previously diagnosed specific noncommunicable disease were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2018 (n = 870). Their demographic, physical, and laboratory data were obtained. The associations of serum 25(OH)D with MetS and its components were analyzed using logistic regression. Restricted cubic spline was applied to flexibly model the nonlinear association if the nonlinearity test was statistically significant. Results: The 25(OH)D level was inversely associated with risk of MetS [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.986; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.978-0.993] and most MetS components, but not with the risk of raised triglycerides (adjusted OR = 0.996; 95% CI = 0.988-1.005). The association of serum 25(OH)D with central obesity risk was significantly nonlinear (P for the nonlinearity test: 0.037). The OR for risk of central obesity decreased rapidly with increase in serum 25(OH)D concentration until the concentration reached 50 nmol/L, and then, the intensity of decrease in OR slowed down. Conclusions: Vitamin D is inversely associated with MetS, but not all MetS components. A nonlinear association between the vitamin D level and risk of central obesity has been found for the first time among the adult population, which reflects the complex roles of vitamin D in lipid metabolism. Although vitamin D deficiency (<50 nmol/L) was defined to avoid abnormal calcium and phosphorus metabolism, preventing its deficiency may also be beneficial for reduction of central obesity risk.

Abstract
Objective Weight reduction often accompanies muscle loss. Existing studies highlight the involvement of osteocalcin (OC) in energy metabolism and its potential to prevent age-related muscle loss. Nevertheless, these studies predominantly involve individuals with hyperglycemia, yielding conflicting research outcomes. This study investigated the protective role of OC against muscle loss during weight reduction in individuals without metabolic syndrome (MetS). Measures We enrolled 130 overweight or obese individuals without MetS in a 4-month high-protein, energy-restricted dietary weight management program conducted at two clinic centers. Body composition and laboratory tests were assessed both before and after weight loss. Correlation and regression analysis were made between the changes in metabolic indicators and muscle mass during weight loss. Results Following weight loss, there was a decrease in body mass index (BMI), percentage of body fat (PBF), visceral fat area (VFA), fasting insulin (FINS), homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and lipid profile, and increase in the percentage of skeletal muscle (PSM) and vitamin D. There was no change in osteocalcin (OC) during the intervention. Correlation analysis of the relative changes in all metabolic indicators revealed a positive correlation between OC and PSM (r=0.383, p=0.002). Multiple linear regression analysis found that OC has a significant protective effect on muscles during weight loss in males after adjusting for confounding factors (β=0.089, p=0.017). Conclusion High-protein, energy-restricted diets demonstrate efficacy in enhancing metabolic indicators within the weight-loss population. Furthermore, OC exhibits a protective effect on muscle mass during weight reduction in individuals without MetS, with this effect being particularly evident in males.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The quantitative assessment of muscle stiffness or weakness is essential for medical care. Shear wave elastography is non-invasive ultrasound method and provides quantitative information on the elasticity of soft tissue. However, the universal velocity scale for quantification has not been developed. The aim of the study is to determine the shear wave velocities of abdominal muscle during anesthetic induction and to identify methods to cancel the effects of confounders for future development in the quantitative assessment of muscle tone using the universal scale. METHODS We enrolled 75 adult patients undergoing elective surgery with ASA-PS I - III in the period between December 2018 and March 2021. We measured and calculated the shear wave velocity (SWV) before and after opioid administration (i.e., the baseline at rest and opioid-induced rigidity condition), and after muscle relaxant administration (i.e., zero reference condition). The SWV value was adjusted for the subcutaneous fat thickness by our proposed corrections. The SWVs after the adjustment were compared among the values in baseline, rigidity, and relaxation using one-way repeated-measures ANOVA and post hoc Tukey-Kramer test. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. UMIN Clinical Trials Registry identifier UMIN000034692, registered on October 30, 2018. RESULTS The SWVs in the baseline, opioid-induced rigidity, and muscle relaxation conditions after the adjustment were 2.08 ± 0.48, 2.41 ± 0.60, and 1.79 ± 0.30 m/s, respectively (p < 0.001 at all comparisons). CONCLUSION The present study suggested that the SWV as reference was 1.79 m/s and that the SWVs at rest and opioid-induced rigidity were ~ 10% and ~ 30% increase from the reference, respectively. The SWV adjusted for the subcutaneous fat thickness may be scale points for the assessment of muscle tone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of protein in glucose homeostasis has demonstrated conflicting results. However, little research exists on its impact following weight loss. This study examined the impact of protein supplementation on glucose homeostasis in older adults >65 years with obesity seeking to lose weight. METHODS A 12-week, nonrandomized, parallel group intervention of protein (PG) and nonprotein (NPG) arms for 28 older rural adults (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2) was conducted at a community aging center. Both groups received twice weekly physical therapist-led group strength training classes. The PG consumed a whey protein supplement three times per week, post-strength training. Primary outcomes included pre/post-fasting glucose, insulin, inflammatory markers, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). RESULTS Mean age and baseline BMI were 72.9 ± 4.4 years and 37.6 ± 6.9 kg/m2 in the PG and 73.0 ± 6.3 and 36.6 ± 5.5 kg/m2 in the NPG, respectively. Mean weight loss was -3.45 ± 2.86 kg in the PG and -5.79 ± 3.08 kg in the NPG (p < 0.001). There was a smaller decrease in pre- vs. post-fasting glucose levels (PG: -4 mg ± 13.9 vs. NPG: -12.2 ± 25.8 mg/dL; p = 0.10), insulin (-7.92 ± 28.08 vs. -46.7 ± 60.8 pmol/L; p = 0.01), and HOMA-IR (-0.18 ± 0.64 vs. -1.08 ± 1.50; p = 0.02) in the PG compared to the NPG. CONCLUSIONS Protein supplementation during weight loss demonstrated a smaller decrease in insulin resistance compared to the NPG, suggesting protein may potentially mitigate beneficial effects of exercise on glucose homeostasis.

Abstract
Background and Objective The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity presents a significant global challenge. This study aimed to investigate the understanding and views of weight management practices and obesity among Saudi adults. Methodology A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from October 2022 to January 2023 among adults residing in Saudi Arabia. Participants completed a self-administered 41-item questionnaire designed to assess their understanding and views regarding weight management practices and obesity. Results A total of 1066 participants completed the survey. Gender distribution showed a majority of males (55.7%). Age-wise, the majority fell below 51 years, with 37.7% (young) between 18-24, 32.7% (young adult) between 25-33, and 21.3% (adult) between 34-51. Employment was reported by one-third (n = 315) of respondents, while 22.0% (n = 234) had a history of chronic diseases. Furthermore, 77.3% (n = 824) engaged in regular physical activity.The study results revealed that participants' mean score for understanding obesity was 3.28 ± 2.37 (range 0-6), while the average views score was 28.08 ± 8.79 (range 0-34). Furthermore, females displayed a higher level of understanding compared to males. Employment status also played a significant role, with employed individuals having a better understanding of obesity than those who were unemployed. Moreover, participants with higher qualifications demonstrated a more comprehensive understanding of obesity compared to those with lower qualifications. Additionally, individuals with higher monthly income levels displayed a greater understanding of obesity compared to those with lower incomes. Lastly, participants who engaged in regular physical activity exhibited a higher level of understanding compared to those who were physically inactive. Conclusion The study indicates that factors such as being older, being female, being employed, having higher education and income, and engaging in regular physical activity are associated with increased understanding and favorable views regarding weight management practices and obesity.

Abstract
Background Childhood obesity has become a global concern, with its prevalence steadily increasing over the past decade. This condition negatively impacts the cardiovascular system, increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality in adulthood. This study aimed to identify cardiac function abnormalities and related risk factors among overweight and obese Thai children. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional observational study of 70 children with body mass index (BMI) >1 standard deviation above the mean for Thai children was conducted at Naresuan University Hospital. Body fat percentage (%Fat) was measured, and standard transthoracic echocardiography was performed. Metabolic profiles were collected from medical records. Results The thickness and diameter of the Left ventricle (LV) wall, including the LV posterior wall, LV internal diameter, and interventricular septum (IVS), were significantly increased in both systolic and diastolic phases in obese children. LV concentric hypertrophy and an abnormal E/E' ratio were found in 27% and 34.3% of participants, respectively. Right ventricular systolic dysfunction indicated by abnormal tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion values was found in 55.7% of all participants. In addition, 27.1% of all obese children had pulmonary hypertension. Significant differences in BMI and %Fat were detected between children with abnormal and normal IVS diastolic (IVSd) (P = 0.016). Our univariate and multivariate correlation analyses revealed a significant positive association between abnormal IVSd and %Fat, with an odd ratio (OR) of 1.13 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.27; P = 0.047) and an adjusted OR of 1.17 (95% CI: 1.01-1.36; P = 0.04). Conclusions Cardiac function abnormalities in childhood obesity exhibit a significant positive correlation with BMI and various cardiac dimensions, including ventricular wall thickness. One important related risk factor for increased IVS thickness is %Fat. Therefore, multidisciplinary management of obesity should be initiated as early as possible to prevent future cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various prediction models of type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission have been externally verified internationally. However, long-term validated results after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery are lacking. The best model for the Chinese population is also unknown. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prediction effect of various prediction models on the long-term diabetes remission after RYGB in the Chinese population and to provide reference for clinical use. SETTING A retrospective clinical study at a university hospital. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed Chinese population data 5 years after RYGB and externally validated 11 predictive models to evaluate the predictive effect of each model on long-term T2D remission after RYGB. RESULTS We enrolled 84 patients. The mean body mass index was 41 kg/m2, and the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) was 72.3%. The mean glycated hemoglobin level was 8.4% preoperatively and decreased to 5.9% after 5 years. The 5-year postoperative complete and partial remission rates of T2D were 31% and 70.2%, respectively. The ABCD scoring model (sensitivity, 84%; specificity, 76%; area under the curve [AUC], .866) and the Panuzi et al. [34] study (sensitivity, 84%; specificity, 81%; AUC, .842) showed excellent results. In the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, calibration values for ABCD and Panuzi et al. [34] were .14 and .21, respectively. The predicted-to-observed ratios of ABCD and Panuzi et al. [34] were .83 and .88, respectively. CONCLUSIONS T2D was relieved to varying degrees 5 years after RYGB in patients with obesity. The prediction models in ABCD and the Panuzi et al. [34] studies showed the best prediction effects. ABCD was recommended for clinical use because of excellent predictive performance, good statistical test results, and simple and practical design features.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of overweight/obesity has been increasing globally and in people with Intellectual Disabilities (IDs), this problem is exacerbated even more, which added to a low physical condition that contributes to the deterioration of functionality and increases the risk of developing chronic diseases in the course of life. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish cut-off points for levels of isometric handgrip and low limb explosive strength in children, adolescents and adults, which identify overweight/obesity in people with IDs and their respective associations. METHODS The sample was made up of 131 individuals with IDs, belonging to four special and community educational centres in the city of Santiago, Chile. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHR) were used as indicators of overweight/obesity. Handgrip strength was used as a measure of isometric strength, and countermovement jump was used as a measure of low limb explosive strength. For the comparison of variables by age group, the analysis of Ancova, Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square tests were used. The total area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of isometric handgrip and low limb explosive strength was identified as an indicator of overweight/obesity according to age groups. A logistic regression model was used to quantify the effect that strength categories below the cut-off point have on the risk of overweight and obesity. RESULTS Significant differences were observed between the age groups for body weight, height, BMI and WHR, as well as in the levels of absolute handgrip strength and vertical jump with countermovement (P ≤ 0.05). Children showed the lowest cut-off points for absolute and relative strength. The adolescent group showed the highest cut-off points for relative strength and countermovement jump and adults showed the highest value for absolute strength as indicators of overweight/obesity. Different associations between cut-off points with BMI and WHR were found. CONCLUSIONS Adolescents showed the highest cut-off point for relative strength and countermovement jump, and adults showed the highest value for absolute strength, according to overweight/obesity indicators (BMI and WHR). It is suggested to adjust resistance training programmes according to age categories for the prevention of overweight/obesity in people with IDs.

Relationship between Abdominal Volume Index and Body Adiposity Index and Scales of Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:3356. [PMID: 37958252 PMCID: PMC10649100 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13213356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction, objectives: Obesity is a global health problem with a great negative impact on health. Among the pathologies caused by obesity are insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, which constitute an increasingly common health problem in both developed and developing countries. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between two scales that assess obesity-based on hip circumference-and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and insulin resistance risk scales as predictors of these alterations. MATERIALS, METHODS A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out on 193,462 workers from different Spanish regions and work groups between January 2019 and September 2021. Abdominal volume index (AVI) and body adiposity index (BAI) were evaluated to assess obesity and its association with insulin resistance using three risk scales (TyG index, Triglycerides/HDL, and METS-IR), while their association with metabolic syndrome was determined using the NCEP ATP III, IDF, and JIS models. RESULTS The results of the ROC curves to determine the predictive value of BAI and AVI in relation to the three criteria evaluated to calculate MetS in all instances presented a higher area under the curve (AUC) for AVI. The high values of AVI stand out for predicting MetS when applying the IDF criteria. The cut-off point in women was 13.70 with a Youden index of 0.802, whereas in men, the cut-off point was set at 17.59 with a Youden index of 0.672. Regarding the relationship of BAI and AVI with insulin resistance risk scales for both sexes, the AUC only revealed high values when using the METS-IR formula for both AVI and BAI. The AVI cut-off points to predict high values of insulin resistance risk scales in women were established at 13.12 with a Youden index of 0.722. In men, the cut-off point was 17.59, with a Youden index of 0.626. The BAI cut-off points in women were set at 33.88 with a Youden index of 0.748. In men, the cut-off point was 27.91, with a Youden index of 0.598. CONCLUSIONS AVI demonstrated its value as a predictor of metabolic syndrome while exclusively applying the IDF criteria. AVI and BAI demonstrated their value as predictors of high values of insulin resistance risk scales only in the case of METS-IR. This predictive value is also higher in women.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15820. [PMID: 37958808 PMCID: PMC10649744 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242115820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Understanding the complex interactions between metabolism and the immune system ("metaflammation") is crucial for the identification of key immunomodulatory factors as potential therapeutic targets in obesity and in cardiovascular diseases. Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) is an important factor of innate immunity and is expressed in adipocytes. CAMP, therefore, might play a role as an adipokine in metaflammation and adipose inflammation. TNFα, cell-free nucleic acids (cfDNA), and toll-like receptor (TLR) 9 are components of the innate immune system and are functionally active in adipose tissue. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of TNFα and cfDNA on CAMP expression in adipocytes. Since cfDNA acts as a physiological TLR9 agonist, we additionally investigated TLR9-mediated CAMP regulation in adipocytes and adipose tissue. CAMP gene expression in murine 3T3-L1 and human SGBS adipocytes and in murine and human adipose tissues was quantified by real-time PCR. Adipocyte inflammation was induced in vitro by TNFα and cfDNA stimulation. Serum CAMP concentrations in TLR9 knockout (KO) and in wildtype mice were quantified by ELISA. In primary adipocytes of wildtype and TLR9 KO mice, CAMP gene expression was quantified by real-time PCR. CAMP gene expression was considerably increased in 3T3-L1 and SGBS adipocytes during differentiation. TNFα significantly induced CAMP gene expression in mature adipocytes, which was effectively antagonized by inhibition of PI3K signaling. Cell-free nucleic acids (cfDNA) significantly impaired CAMP gene expression, whereas synthetic agonistic and antagonistic TLR9 ligands had no effect. CAMP and TLR9 gene expression were correlated positively in murine and human subcutaneous but not in intra-abdominal/visceral adipose tissues. Male TLR9 knockout mice exhibited lower systemic CAMP concentrations than wildtype mice. CAMP gene expression levels in primary adipocytes did not significantly differ between wildtype and TLR9 KO mice. These findings suggest a regulatory role of inflammatory mediators, such as TNFα and cfDNA, in adipocytic CAMP expression as a novel putative molecular mechanism in adipose tissue innate immunity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a serious public health issue. Dietary changes form the core of MetS treatment. The adherence to dietary recommendations is critical for reducing the severity of MetS components and preventing complications. However, the adherence to dietary recommendations was not adequate among adults with MetS. This study utilizes the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) to develop an individualized WeChat mini program-based behavioural change intervention aimed at strengthening adherence to dietary recommendations in people with MetS. METHODS The BCW theory was used to design an individualized WeChat mini program-based behavioural change intervention. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted to identify the determinants of adherence to dietary recommendations in individuals with MetS. The study was conducted at the health promotion centre of a prominent general university hospital in Zhejiang, China. Subsequently, the intervention functions (IFs) and policy categories were selected following the identified determinants. Afterwards, behaviour change techniques (BCTs) were chosen to translate into potential intervention strategies, and the delivery mode was determined. RESULTS Our study identified fifteen barriers to improve the adherence to dietary recommendations in this population. These were linked with six IFs: education, training, persuasion, enablement, modelling, and environmental restructuring. Then, twelve BCTs were linked with the IFs and fifteen barriers. The delivery mode was a WeChat mini program. After these actions, an individualized WeChat mini program-based behavioural change intervention was developed to enhance adherence to dietary recommendations for individuals with MetS. CONCLUSIONS The BCW theory helped scientifically and systematically develop an individualized WeChat mini program-based behavioural change intervention for individuals with MetS. In the future, our research team will refine and upgrade the WeChat mini program and then test the usability and effectiveness of the individualized WeChat mini program-based behavioural change intervention program.

ZFYVE28 mediates insulin resistance by promoting phosphorylated insulin receptor degradation via increasing late endosomes production. Nat Commun 2023; 14:6833. [PMID: 37884540 PMCID: PMC10603069 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-42657-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Insulin resistance is associated with many pathological conditions, and an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms involved is necessary to improve insulin sensitivity. Here, we show that ZFYVE28 expression is decreased in insulin-sensitive obese individuals but increased in insulin-resistant individuals. Insulin signaling inhibits ZFYVE28 expression by inhibiting NOTCH1 via the RAS/ERK pathway, whereas ZFYVE28 expression is elevated due to impaired insulin signaling in insulin resistance. While Zfyve28 overexpression impairs insulin sensitivity and causes lipid accumulation, Zfyve28 knockout in mice can significantly improve insulin sensitivity and other indicators associated with insulin resistance. Mechanistically, ZFYVE28 colocalizes with early endosomes via the FYVE domain, which inhibits the generation of recycling endosomes but promotes the conversion of early to late endosomes, ultimately promoting phosphorylated insulin receptor degradation. This effect disappears with deletion of the FYVE domain. Overall, in this study, we reveal that ZFYVE28 is involved in insulin resistance by promoting phosphorylated insulin receptor degradation, and ZFYVE28 may be a potential therapeutic target to improve insulin sensitivity.

[PMID: 37936696 PMCID: PMC10627189 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1253766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is mainly responsible for mammalian non-shivering thermogenesis and promotes energy expenditure. Meanwhile, similar to white adipose tissue (WAT), BAT also secretes a variety of adipokines to regulate metabolism through paracrine, autocrine, or endocrine ways. The chemokine C-X-C motif chemokine ligand-13 (CXCL13), a canonical B cell chemokine, functions in inflammation and tumor-related diseases. However, the role of CXCL13 in the adipose tissues is unclear. Methods The expression of CXCL13 in BAT and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (SWAT) of mice under cold stimulation were detected. Local injection of CXCL13 into BAT of normal-diet and high-fat-diet induced obese mice was used to detect thermogenesis and determine cold tolerance. The brown adipocytes were treated with CXCL13 alone or in the presence of macrophages to determine the effects of CXCL13 on thermogenic and inflammation related genes expression in vitro. Results In this study, we discovered that the expression of CXCL13 in the stromal cells of brown adipose tissue significantly elevated under cold stimulation. Overexpression of CXCL13 in the BAT via local injection could increase energy expenditure and promote thermogenesis in obese mice. Mechanically, CXCL13 could promote thermogenesis via recruiting M2 macrophages in the BAT and, in the meantime, inhibiting pro-inflammatory factor TNFα level. Discussion This study revealed the novel role of adipose chemokine CXCL13 in the regulation of BAT activity and thermogenesis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adipokines are associated with several pathological states including, metabolic syndrome, obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. One of these adipokines, adiponectin is of particular interest as it has been shown to have numerous anti-inflammatory effects, However, the association between adiponectin and blood pressure remains inconclusive especially in the Latino adolescent with obesity. PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between plasma adiponectin and blood pressure in Latino adolescents' boys with obesity and a with a family history of Type 2 diabetes. METHODS Thirty two Latino adolescent males with obesity aged 14-17 years with a family history of type 2 diabetes underwent a frequently sampled glucose tolerance test (FSIVGTT) to measure insulin sensitivity. Body composition was assessed using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Obesity was defined as having a BMI percentile ≥95. Blood pressure was assessed using the Dinamap automated blood pressure monitor, and the average of three readings was used in the analysis. Fasting plasma adiponectin was determined using radioimmunoassay. RESULTS There were moderate positive significant correlations for adiponectin and Systolic blood pressure(SBP) (rho = 0.436, p < 0.027) and Diastolic blood pressure(DBP) (rho = 0.41,p < 0.028). A multivariate liner regression showed that plasma adiponectin could significantly detect 19% of the variance in SBP (p = 0.017, and 33% for DBP (p = 0.017). In a simple linear regression adiponectin was not related to any of our variables (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION In conclusion, adiponectin was positively and significantly correlated to blood pressure in Latino adolescent with obesity. Future studies should investigate this relationship in a large sample of Latino adolescent youth.

Abstract
Obesity is a global health difficulty characterized by an excessive accumulation of fat that increases body weight. Obesity has been studied in multiple animal models, of which those in which it is induced by diet stand out. Due to the increase in this condition, other mechanisms have been addressed that are triggered by states of overweight or obesity, such as the appearance of oxidative stress. These models aim to relate obesity caused by diet and how it influences the development of oxidative stress. In this study, a systematic review of the literature of 39 articles that studied obesity due to the consumption of hypercaloric diets and the appearance of oxidative stress in different animal models was carried out. This review identified the models with the most excellent use and the characteristics of the most appropriate diets to characterize states of oxidative stress due to obesity. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of each model used are provided, as well as the techniques used for the assessment of obesity, and oxidative stress, providing the information in such a way that there is a general overview of the existing models of the parameters that allow to adequately establish both variables studied, providing information that allows the researcher to choose the appropriate model and factors according to the interest and objectives of the present research.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and all-cause mortality among elderly Chinese. The subjects of our study were a cohort of 13 319 elderly Chinese enrolled between 2008 and 2018. Participants were classified in three groups: underweight (<18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), overweight and obese (≥25 kg/m2) according to different BMI levels. Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to analyze the association between BMI grouping and the risk of mortality among the three groups and each corresponding subgroup. The restricted cubic spline regression was performed to investigate the variation tendency of BMI and mortality in different groups and subgroups. We found that the hazard ratios (HRs) of mortality in the underweight and the normal-weight groups were 1.213 and 1.104, respectively, compared with those in the overweight and obesity groups. HR for mortality decreased as BMI increased, although this phenomenon was not observed as not a linear relationship in all participants. Nonetheless, this nonlinear relationship was significant in type 2 diabetes patients. Among subjects with non-type 2 diabetes, the shape of the negative curve, reflecting the HR for BMI and mortality, decreased when BMI increased. Our findings suggest that an obesity paradox exists in non-type 2 diabetes patients, in which BMI has a nonlinear negative relationship with mortality. Conversely, in type 2 diabetes patients there is a U-shaped association. Obesity may thus be protective for all-cause mortality among non-diabetic older populations.

Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Body Fat Percentage in a Group of Indian Participants: A Cross-Sectional Study From a Tertiary Care Hospital. Cureus 2023; 15:e47817.

Abstract
Background Body mass index (BMI) is an important indicator of overweight and obesity. Unlike BMI, body fat percentage (BF%) can be utilized to estimate body composition regardless of weight and height. The association between BMI and BF%, as well as the impact of age and gender, may help estimate the prevalence of obesity more clearly. This study aimed to assess the relationship between BMI and BF%, examine the effect of age and gender on this relationship, and establish the linearity/curvilinearity of this relationship. Methodology The body composition analysis of 1,150 participants in various institutional events (institution foundation day) during 2019 and 2023 was performed using the Accuniq bio-electrical impedance analyzer (BIA) (Accuniq, Netherlands). The participants included undergraduate, postgraduate medical, and PhD students, as well as employees of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. Age groups were categorized as under 17 years, young adults (18-25 years), adults (26-44 years), middle-aged adults (45-59 years), and older adults (≥60 years). Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) was used for analyzing the relationship between BMI and BF%. To assess the effect of age and gender on this relationship, multiple regression analysis was applied, and polynomial regression was applied to test its linearity. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results Males made up a larger proportion of the participants (56.3%; 647). The mean age of the participants was 36.5 ± 13.6 years. The mean BMI and BF% were 24.7 ± 4.0 kg/m2 and 29.1 ± 8.7%, respectively. A significant and moderate positive correlation (r = 0.630, p < 0.01) was observed between BMI and BF%. The mean ± SD of BMI and BF% had a directly proportional relationship with age. Among both genders, females showed a greater correlation (r = 0.852). Both age and gender had a significant effect on this relationship, with gender impacting more than age (β = 0.488, p < 0.000). The curvilinear nature of the relationship between BMI and BF% was demonstrated with the female model showing a more precise fit (R2 = 0.72, standard error of the estimate = 3.3%). Conclusions The relationship between BMI and BF% was significant and positive in this group of Indians. This relationship was significantly impacted by age and gender and was curvilinear in nature. Females had a higher association than males between BMI and BF%. The study suggests that BMI, BF%, and the effects of age and gender should be taken into consideration when predicting obesity.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate potential similar patterns and interactive effects of obesity and hypertension on hair essential trace element and mineral content in adult women. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 607 adult women divided into controls (n = 101), groups with obesity without hypertension (n = 199), hypertension without obesity (n = 143), and both obesity and hypertension (n = 164) were included in the study. Assessment of hair mineral and trace element levels was performed by inductively-coupled plasma mass-spectrometry. Hair Ca, Mg, Co, and Mn levels in women with obesity, hypertension, and both diseases were significantly lower, compared to controls. Hair Mg levels in women with obesity and hypertension were significantly lower, whereas hair Na and K were found to be higher when compared to other groups. Hair Fe and V content in obese patients was lower than in other groups. Obesity was associated with lower hair Cu levels, whereas patients with hypertension had higher hair Cu content. Hypertension was also associated with higher hair Cr and Se content irrespective of body weight. Hair Zn levels in obese women with and without hypertension were significantly lower than those in healthy controls and normal-weight women with hypertension. In multiple regression models hair Mg was considered as a significant negative predictor of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure values. The observed alterations in hair trace element and mineral content provide an additional link between obesity and hypertension, although further detailed studies are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aortic valve diseases are life-threatening conditions with increasing prevalence worldwide. Risk factors include gender, age, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes. Obesity is closely related to these risk factors and has been linked to a higher risk of developing aortic valve diseases. However, there is no specific guideline for managing aortic valve disease in patients with obesity, and the choice of valve type remains uncertain. METHODS A total of 130 patients with obesity who met the inclusion criteria underwent surgical aortic valve replacement. The patients were divided into two groups based on the type of prosthesis used. Among the study cohort, 50 patients received a bioprosthetic valve, while 80 patients received a mechanical valve. We compared these groups in terms of perioperative characteristics and follow-up results. Statistical significance was determined using a p-value threshold of 0.05. RESULTS There were no significant differences in age, gender, body mass index, or cardiac comorbidities between the two groups. Preoperative blood results and echo findings also showed no significant differences. Intraoperative characteristics and postoperative outcomes, including mortality and acute kidney injury, did not differ significantly between the groups. In addition, BHVG patients had shorter ICU stays compared to MHVG patients without significance. CONCLUSION Deliberate consideration is crucial when selecting valves for obese patients, particularly those with class II obesity. This is due to the potential influence of obesity on valve types, as well as the need to account for the possibility of bariatric surgery and its potential effects.
