Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the associations between watching television and physical activity with the metabolic syndrome and its components. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS This study was conducted among 358 subjects recruited from the Department of Health Management of Chang Gung Medical Centre in Linkou. After adjustment for gender, age and body mass index (BMI), the odds ratios (ORs) of the metabolic syndrome and its components were analysed for relative daily energy expenditure groups and time spent watching television categories. RESULTS After adjustment for gender, age and BMI, the OR of the metabolic syndrome in the most active subjects compared with the least active subjects was 0.27 [95% confidence interval (CI)=0.08-0.88; P=0.030]. There was inconclusive evidence of an association between watching television for more than 20h/week and presence of the metabolic syndrome (OR=2.99; 95% CI=0.83-10.84; P=0.095). CONCLUSIONS Physical activity was a significant protective factor for presence of the metabolic syndrome and low levels of high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol. Watching television was positively associated with greater odds of high levels of triglycerides and fasting glucose. This study emphasized the importance of reducing the time spent watching television and increasing the level of physical activity for prevention of the metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors predictive of cardiovascular diseases. The rising number of obese Americans has increased the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. This study investigated the hypothesis that the incidence of metabolic syndrome is decreased after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. METHODS The charts of all patients who had undergone laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery during a 6-month period were reviewed for the presence of the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome, both preoperatively and at least 1 year postoperatively. The National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATPIII) criteria were used to define the metabolic syndrome. These criteria included elevated blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and waist circumference. RESULTS Data were available for 53 patients. Before laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, 32 (60%) of the 53 patients had metabolic syndrome, as defined by the NCEP ATPIII criteria. No difference was found in the preoperative body mass index between patients who had metabolic syndrome (47.4 kg/m(2)) and those who did not (49.8 kg/m(2); P = NS). The percentage of excess body weight lost after at least 1 year was 78% in patients with metabolic syndrome. After surgery, only 1 (2%) of the 53 patients had metabolic syndrome (P <.0001). CONCLUSION Metabolic syndrome is quite common in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The results of our study have shown that laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery resolves metabolic syndrome in most patients. Metabolic syndrome should be considered another co-morbidity that improves and is cured after gastric bypass surgery.

Abstract
The incidence of obesity and related metabolic disorders such as cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, are reaching worldwide epidemic proportions. It results from an imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure leading to excess energy storage, mostly due to genetic and environmental factors such as diet, food components and/or way of life. It is known since long that this balance is maintained to equilibrium by multiple mechanisms allowing the brain to sense the nutritional status of the body and adapt behavioral and metabolic responses to changes in fuel availability. In this review, we summarize selected aspects of the regulation of energy homeostasis, prevalently highlighting the complex relationships existing between the white adipose tissue, the central nervous system, the endogenous microbiota, and nutrition. We first describe how both the formation and functionality of adipose cells are strongly modulated by the diet before summarizing where and how the central nervous system integrates peripheral signals from the adipose tissue and/or the gastro-intestinal tract. Finally, after a short description of the intestinal commensal flora, rangingfrom its composition to its importance in immune surveillance, we enlarge the discussion on how nutrition modified this perfectly well-balanced ecosystem.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity has been drastically increasing over the past 20 years. Other obesity related conditions, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, have also increased in a corresponding manner and, in 2005, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) reduced the cut-off for defining impaired blood glucose. Evidence suggests that just a modest amount of weight loss can improve obesity related co-morbidities. The present study first, investigated changes in health measures after participation in a four week residential weight loss program. Second, individuals were classified according to the 2005 criteria for the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes to determine if glucose regulation changed after weight loss. A total of 93 individuals were categorized as normal glucose (n=56), impaired fasting glucose (n=23) or diabetic range (n=14) after initial blood laboratory screening. After four weeks and a 6.5% weight reduction, participants showed significant improvements in health risks. Further, most participants with elevated fasting glucose shifted into a healthier range. Findings are discussed in terms of health improvements that occur after weight loss within a four week lifestyle intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness and safety of two distinct low calorie diets (LCD). DESIGN Prospective controlled study. METHODS 67 obese patients [body mass index (BMI) 40 kg/m2] were included in two study groups. Group A: 26 patients followed a 458 kcal diet given in three meals for 1 month. Group B: 41 patients followed a 800 kcal diet for 3 months and with outpatient control. MEASUREMENTS Anthropometric, cardiovascular risk and nutritional profile changes were evaluated, as well as total direct and indirect costs, and the incidence of complications. RESULTS No significant initial differences were observed between the two study groups. Eighty-six point two per cent of the patients completed the therapy correctly. After treatment a significant decrease was observed in the following variables for both groups, but no differences were detected between Groups A and B: mean weight loss (A= 9.28 kg, B= 8.7 kg), ponderal loss percentage (A/B= 7.2/6.8%), glycemia (A/B= 18.6/12.1 mg/dl), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (A/B= 11.8/6.5 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (A/B 5.9/6.8 mmHg), and final insulin-resistance (IR) index (A= 4.4, B= 4.3). Group A had the highest drop in total cholesterol (37.7 vs 8.1 mg/dl) and triglycerides (54.4 vs 2.5 mg/dl). No changes were observed in ureic acid, renal function and serum albumin. Thirty-six patients (55.3%) suffered trivial complications associated to the VLCD (16.9% gastrointestinal, 20% anxiety), with no differences between groups. Group A patients were on sick leave due to asthenia, and two patients in this group had serious complications (transient ischemic attack and atrial fibrillation). The total cost of Group A treatment was 3018.9 against 582.6 euros for Group B. CONCLUSIONS The 3-month 800 kcal/day VLCD was more cost-effective and safer than the 1-month 458 kcal/day diet.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the adiponectin (ADIPOQ) locus influence changes in circulating adiponectin and the features of insulin resistance in response to a weight loss intervention. SUBJECTS In total, 294 nondiabetic/overweight-obese Koreans participated in a clinical intervention study lasting 12 weeks involving a caloric reduction of -300kcal/day. METHODS Plasma adiponectin, blood lipids, glucose and insulin concentrations were measured at baseline and after weight loss. Insulin resistance was estimated by homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) derived from fasting glucose and insulin concentrations. We genotyped for three SNPs, 45T>G, 276G>T and -11377C>G. RESULTS At baseline, HOMA-IR was significantly higher in GG homozygotes than in carriers of the T allele at SNP276G>T of the adiponectin gene (P<0.05). With regard to SNP45T>G and SNP -11377C>G, we did not find any genotype related differences in baseline levels of HOMA-IR and adiponectin. In the 45/276 haplotype test, homozygous for the TG haplotype had significantly lower concentrations of plasma adiponectin (P<0.05). After the 12-week weight loss intervention, the significant decreases in HOMA-IR (P<0.001) and increases in adiponectin (P<0.01) were observed in GG homozygotes at SNP276, which were not shown in carriers of the T allele. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the decreases in HOMA-IR between the GG homozygotes and carriers of the T allele at SNP276 (P<0.05). Regarding SNP45T>G and SNP -11377C>G, there was no association between SNP45T>G and SNP -11377C>G and decreases in HOMA-IR. In the 45/276 haplotype test, there was a significant difference in changes of adiponectin levels among those with different haplotype combinations (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The SNP276G>T of the ADIPOQ gene is associated with different responses of circulating adiponectin and insulin resistance to mild weight loss in overweight-obese subjects.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effects of a pharmacotherapy (orlistat) plus lifestyle management (OLM) intervention on weight loss in Mexican American women with and without metabolic syndrome (MS). METHODS One hundred and seven female participants aged 21-65 years and of Mexican origin were randomized to either OLM or a wait-list control group (WLC) for one year. The lifestyle interventions were tailored to exhibit features of the Mexican culture. Within each group, subjects with MS were compared to those without MS to assess whether its presence mitigates weight loss. Risk factors for MS also were assessed. RESULTS Participants with MS in the OLM group experienced significant decreases in weight and body mass index (BMI) as compared to participants without MS. Participants with MS in the OLM group and who completed the study lost 9.3+/-7.5 kg (20.5+/-16.5 lb) as compared to participants with MS in the WLC group, who only lost 0.2+/-3.1 kg (0.4+/-6.8 lb). Further, participants with MS in the OLM group who completed the study experienced a 3.1+/-3.9 kg/m2 decrease in BMI whereas participants with MS in the WLC group only experienced a 0.1+/-1.2 kg/m2 decrease in BMI. No changes in other MS risk factors were significant. CONCLUSIONS Patients with MS experienced significant weight loss and decreases in BMI as a result of a lifestyle and pharmacotherapy intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether leukocyte count, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor (vWF) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 activity (PAI-1) are increased in subjects with the metabolic syndrome as defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATPIII) and the World Health Organisation (WHO). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS A total of 520 overweight and obese subjects: 379 women and 141 men, visiting the weight management clinic of a University Hospital. SUBJECTS AND MEASUREMENTS Waist circumference, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure and fasting glucose were determined, and the presence or absence of the metabolic syndrome according to the NCEP-ATPIII criteria was assessed. In 349 subjects, data on the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and albumin excretion rate were available and the WHO criteria were applied. Insulin resistance was defined using the HOMA-IR index. RESULTS Subjects with the metabolic syndrome according to the NCEP-ATPIII criteria had significantly higher levels of leukocyte count (P < 0.001) and PAI-1 (P < 0.001), while no significant differences were found for fibrinogen or vWF (P > 0.05). Using the WHO criteria, similar results were found except for vWF, where higher levels were found in subjects with the metabolic syndrome. When subjects were classified according to the number of components of the metabolic syndrome, levels of leukocyte count, vWF and PAI-1 activity were significantly different (P < 0.05). In logistic regression analysis PAI-1, gender and leukocyte count were independent determinants of the metabolic syndrome (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Evidence for being a true component of the metabolic syndrome is strong for PAI-1, less for leukocyte count and weak for vWF and fibrinogen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metabolic syndrome (MetS), the co-occurrence of abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, reduced HDL cholesterol, hypertension, and insulin resistance promotes carotid atherosclerosis and stroke. The objective of this study was to determine if the presence of calcified atheromas detected on panoramic radiographs of individuals free of overt vascular disease may herald occult MetS. STUDY DESIGN Ninety-four individuals (mean age 65.6 years) with a calcified atheroma detected by a VA dental clinic were evaluated. A like-aged group was used for comparative analysis. RESULTS Fifteen percent of individuals (mean age 64 years) with an atheroma had occult MetS. Mean waist circumference was 116 cm, BMI 32.7 kg/m2, triglycerides 250 mg/dL, HDL cholesterol 35 mg/dL, blood pressure 147/87 mm Hg, and glucose 117 mg/dL. Only 6% of controls had occult MetS but this difference in prevalence was not proven to be statistically significant (P = .059). CONCLUSION Some individuals with a calcified atheroma may have undiagnosed MetS and should be referred to their physician because aggressive management may preclude a stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND How weight change affects the metabolic syndrome (MS) and its parameters is unknown, particularly, in a leaner European population such as the French prospective D.E.S.I.R. cohort. METHODS In 3770 D.E.S.I.R. participants (sex ratio=1) averaging 47.5 years (range 30-64), with measured weight and MS parameters at baseline (D0) and at 6 year follow-up (D6), we assessed this relationship across five weight-change classes, using stable weight as the referent group (-2 to +2 kg). We used analysis-of-covariance to assess changes in each MS parameter and logistic regression to assess incident MS, according to the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP). We also assessed weight-change effect on MS status between D0 and D6. RESULTS At D0, average weight was 68.4 kg (SD 12.3); BMI was 24.8 kg/m2 (SD 3.5). From D0-D6, the cohort gained a mean 2.1 kg (median 2.0; SD 4.4). After adjustment for age and D0 weight, there was a strong linear relationship with weight change and worsening of the following MS parameters at D6: fasting insulin, waist girth, fasting glucose, fasting triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (P<0.0001). After age adjustment, for every kilogram gained over 6 years, risk of developing the NCEP Syndrome increased 22% (OR 1.22; 95% CI 1.18-1.25). NCEP-MS was incident in 3% of those with stable weight compared with 21% among those gaining >9 kg; 10% of those who lost >2 kg reverted to non-NCEP-MS. CONCLUSIONS All continuous MS measures are linearly related to weight change, and MS can resolve with modest weight loss, underscoring the importance of maintaining lifelong normal weight.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This prospective, randomized trial compared the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) and laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass (LMGBP) in the treatment of morbid obesity. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA LRYGBP has been the gold standard for the treatment of morbid obesity. While LMGBP has been reported to be a simple and effective treatment, data from a randomized trial are lacking. METHODS Eighty patients who met the NIH criteria were recruited and randomized to receive either LRYGBP (n = 40) or LMGBP (n = 40). The minimum postoperative follow-up was 2 years (mean, 31.3 months). Perioperative data were assessed. Late complication, excess weight loss, BMI, quality of life, and comorbidities were determined. Changes in quality of life were assessed using the Gastro-Intestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI). RESULTS There was one conversion (2.5%) in the LRYGBP group. Operation time was shorter in LMGBP group (205 versus 148, P < 0.05). There was no mortality in each group. The operative morbidity rate was higher in the LRYGBP group (20% versus 7.5%, P < 0.05). The late complications rate was the same in the 2 groups (7.5%) with no reoperation. The percentage of excess weight loss was 58.7% and 60.0% at 1 and 2 years, respectively, in the LPYGBP group, and 64.9% and 64.4% in the LMGBP group. The residual excess weight <50% at 2 years postoperatively was achieved in 75% of patients in the LRYGBP group and 95% in the LMGBP group (P < 0.05). A significant improvement of obesity-related clinical parameters and complete resolution of metabolic syndrome in both groups were noted. Both gastrointestinal quality of life increased significantly without any significant difference between the groups. CONCLUSION Both LRYGBP and LMGBP are effective for morbid obesity with similar results for resolution of metabolic syndrome and improvement of quality of life. LMGBP is a simpler and safer procedure that has no disadvantage compared with LRYGBP at 2 years of follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We examined the associations among physical activity, sedentary behavior, and metabolic syndrome in a representative sample of U.S. adults. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES A total of 1626 men and women > or =20 years old from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999 to 2000 who attended the morning examination were evaluated. The metabolic syndrome was defined by using the definition from the National Cholesterol Education Program. RESULTS In unadjusted analysis, participants who did not engage in any moderate or vigorous physical activity during leisure time had almost twice the odds of having metabolic syndrome [odds ratio (OR), 1.90; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.22 to 2.97] as those who reportedly engaged in > or =150 min/wk of such activity. Adjustment for age, sex, race or ethnicity, educational status, smoking status, and alcohol use attenuated the OR (OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 0.87 to 2.45). Compared with participants who watched television or videos or used a computer <1 h/d outside of work, the adjusted ORs for having metabolic syndrome were 1.41 (95% CI 0.80 to 2.51) for 1 h/d, 1.37 (95% CI 0.85 to 2.20) for 2 h/d, 1.70 (95% CI 0.92 to 3.14) for 3 h/d, and 2.10 (95% CI 1.27 to 3.47) for > or =4 h/d. Additional adjustment for physical activity or sedentary behavior minimally affected the ORs. DISCUSSION Sedentary behavior is an important potential determinant of the prevalence of the syndrome. Efforts to lessen the amount of time that U.S. adults spend watching television or videos or using a computer, especially if coupled to increases in physical activity, could result in substantial decreases in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The complex pathology of disease has sparked the development of novel protein expression profiling techniques that require validation in clinical settings. This study focuses on multiplexed analyses of adipocytokines and biomarkers linked to the metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Methods: Multiplexed immunoassays using fluorescent microspheres and the Luminex-100 system were performed on plasma from 80 obese patients (40 with the metabolic syndrome) before and after 6–8 weeks of diet-induced weight loss. Leptin, insulin, C-peptide, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), eotaxin, interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-6 concentrations measured with multiplex panels from 3 different manufacturers were compared with results from commercial ELISAs. Detection limits and between- and within-run imprecision were determined for each analyte. Bland–Altman analysis was used to determine agreement between multiplexed immunoassays and ELISAs.
Results: Correlation between the Luminex multiplexed assays and ELISAs was good for leptin (Linco), insulin (Linco), MCP-1 (Biosource and Upstate), and eotaxin (Biosource) with correlation coefficients of 0.711–0.895; fair for eotaxin (Upstate) and C-peptide (Linco) with correlation coefficients of 0.496–0.582; and poor for TNF-α, IL-8, and IL-6 (Linco, Biosource, Upstate, and R&D) with correlation coefficients of −0.107 to 0.318. Within- and between-run imprecision values for the multiplex method were generally <15%. Relative changes in plasma leptin and insulin concentrations after diet-induced weight loss were similar whether assessed by multiplex assay or ELISA.
Conclusion: Although this technology appears useful in clinical research studies, low assay sensitivity and poor correlations with conventional ELISA methods for some analytes with very low plasma concentrations should be considered when using the Luminex platform in clinical studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is high among U.S. adults. Our purpose was to determine whether the prevalence of this syndrome has changed since 1988-1994. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 6,436 men and women aged > or = 20 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III (1988-1994) and 1,677 participants from NHANES 1999-2000 were included in the analyses. We used the definition of the metabolic syndrome developed by the Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults. RESULTS The unadjusted prevalence of the metabolic syndrome was 23.1% in NHANES III and 26.7% in NHANES 1999-2000 (P = 0.043), and the age-adjusted prevalences were 24.1 and 27.0% (P = 0.088), respectively. The age-adjusted prevalence increased by 23.5% among women (P = 0.021) and 2.2% among men (P = 0.831). Increases in high blood pressure, waist circumference, and hypertriglyceridemia accounted for much of the increase in the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome, particularly among women. CONCLUSIONS The increased prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is likely to lead to future increases in diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Insulin resistance syndrome, also referred to as the metabolic syndrome, affects 1 in 3 to 4 adults older than 20 years. This syndrome consists of a clustering of metabolic abnormalities that put people at risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These clinical abnormalities include dyslipidemia, specifically elevated triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, elevated glucose, and hypertension. The incidence of this morbid syndrome is expected to continue to grow both in the United States and worldwide, and thus is of tremendous interest to nurses seeking to measure their impact on patient outcomes. The key lifestyle interventions essential to treating this syndrome are weight loss and physical activity. The purpose of this article is to (1) describe the insulin resistance syndrome and discuss the current focuses for inquiry in major outcome areas (eg, mortality, morbidity, costs); (2) describe the status of specific lifestyle interventions (weight loss, diet, and exercise); (3) identify outcomes that nurses could measure to assess their impact on patient care; and (4) identify areas for future nursing research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the point prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in patients with schizoaffective disorder--bipolar type. METHODS Consenting patients who were participants in an ongoing clinical trial of adjunctive topiramate treatment for schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type were evaluated at baseline for the point prevalence of the metabolic syndrome. The criteria for the metabolic syndrome included: (a) waist circumference > 102 cm (40 inches) in males, or > 88 cm (35 inches) in females; (b) fasting serum triglyceride levels > or = 150 mg/dL; (c) fasting high density lipoproteins (HDL) cholesterol <40 mg/dL in men or <50 mg/dL in women; (d) blood pressure > or = 130/85 mmHg; and (e) fasting glucose > or = 110 mg/dL. Subjects who had at least three of these five criteria were defined as meeting criteria for the metabolic syndrome. RESULTS Thirty-six subjects (males = 15, females = 21) were evaluated, and three were excluded for missing data. Among those 33 subjects with complete data, 14 subjects (42.4%, males = 7, females = 7, African Americans = 6, Caucasians = 8) met criteria for the metabolic syndrome. Not unexpectedly, those with the metabolic syndrome were significantly more likely to be obese, and have significantly higher mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean fasting triglyceride levels and larger mean waist circumferences, and significantly lower HDL cholesterol levels; and a trend toward higher fasting blood glucose levels. Furthermore, the fasting mean total cholesterol in those with the metabolic syndrome was 217 mg/dL (+/-46). CONCLUSIONS This preliminary report suggests that the point prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in patients with schizoaffective disorder appears to be higher than that reported in the general population of the USA. Targeted weight reduction and life style change strategies (increased exercise, smoking cessation, stress reduction) may provide useful interventions to decrease the morbidity and mortality that accompanies the presence of the metabolic syndrome in patients with psychiatric illnesses.

Abstract
Adiponectin, a newly discovered adipose-tissue-specific protein, is thought to be involved in the regulation of insulin action. The aim of the present study was to determine whether adiponectin contributes to the improvement in insulin sensitivity during very-low-calorie diet (VLCD). Biopsies of sc abdominal adipose tissue and blood sampling for analysis of plasma adiponectin and related hormones and metabolites were performed before and at the end of a 4-wk VLCD in 33 nonmorbidly obese women (body mass index, 34.4 +/- 4.1 kg/m(2)). VLCD produced a decrease in weight (7.1 +/- 0.4 kg) and in insulin and leptin levels and led to an improvement in insulin sensitivity. Adiponectin gene expression and plasma levels were not modified during calorie restriction. Before VLCD, we found negative correlations between plasma adiponectin and variables related to the metabolic syndrome. Adiponectin mRNA levels showed a negative correlation with lipoprotein a plasma values. The correlations observed before VLCD were not found after VLCD. The data suggest that adiponectin is related to the protection against the metabolic syndrome but is not involved in the regulation of VLCD-induced improvement of insulin sensitivity.
