Abstract
AIMS Hypertriglyceridemia is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, whether or not it predicts the risk of CKD progression is unknown. This study evaluated the association between serum triglyceride (TG) levels and kidney disease progression in patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD. METHODS The Fukuoka Kidney disease Registry (FKR) study was a multicenter, prospective longitudinal cohort study. In total, 4,100 patients with CKD were followed up for 5 years. The primary outcome was the incidence of CKD progression, defined as a ≥ 1.5-fold increase in serum creatinine level or the development of end-stage kidney disease. The patients were divided into quartiles according to baseline serum TG levels under non-fasting conditions: Q1 <87 mg/dL; Q2, 87-120 mg/dL; Q3, 121-170 mg/dL, and Q4 >170 mg/dL. RESULTS During the 5-year observation period, 1,410 patients met the criteria for CKD progression. The multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model showed a significant association between high serum TG level and the risk of CKD progression in the model without macroalbuminuria as a covariate (multivariable hazard ratio[HR] for Q4 versus Q1, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.03-1.41; P=0.022), but the significance disappeared after adjusting for macroalbuminuria (HR for Q4 versus Q1, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.90-1.24; P=0.507). CONCLUSIONS The present findings suggest that individuals with high serum TG levels are more likely to develop CKD progression than those without; however, whether or not higher serum TG levels reflect elevated macroalbuminuria or lead to CKD progression via elevated macroalbuminuria is unclear.

Abstract
One fifth of the world population live in East Asia comprising Japan, Korea, and China where ischemic heart disease, a major component of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), is the second most frequent cause of death. Each of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), remnant lipoproteins, and lipoprotein(a), summarized as non-high-density lipoproteins (non-HDL) or apolipoprotein B (apoB) containing lipoproteins, causes ASCVD. However, a significant proportion of the evidence on lipoproteins and lipoprotein cholesterol with risk of ASCVD came from White people mainly living in Europe and North America and not from people living in East Asia or of East Asian descent. With a unique biological, geohistorical, and social background in this world region, East Asians have distinctive characteristics that might have potential impact on the association of lipoproteins and lipoprotein cholesterol with risk of ASCVD. Considering the movement across national borders in the World, understanding of lipoprotein and lipoprotein cholesterol evidence on ASCVD in East Asia is important for both East Asian and non-East Asian populations wherever they live in the World.In this review, we introduce the biological features of lipoproteins and lipoprotein cholesterol and the evidence for their association with risk of ASCVD in East Asian and European populations. We also provide an overview of guideline recommendations for prevention of ASCVD in these two different world regions. Finally, specific preventive strategies and future perspectives are touched upon.

Abstract
Objective: Triglyceride (TG) levels are affected by food intake, and the cutoff values for nonfasting TG levels vary. This study aimed to calculate fasting TG levels based on total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Methods: Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine estimated triglyceride (eTG) levels using data from 39,971 participants divided into six groups based on non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (nHDL-C) levels (<100, <130, <160, <190, <220, and ≥220 mg/dL). Results: Provided that fasting TG and eTG levels ≥150 mg/dL were positive and those <150 mg/dL were negative, the three groups (nHDL-C levels <100, <130, and <160 mg/dL) consisting of 28,616 participants had a false-positive rate of <5%. The coefficient and constant terms in the formula for the eTG in groups with nHDL-C levels <100, <130, and <160 mg/dL were as follows: constant terms, 12.193, 0.741, and -7.157; coefficients of LDL-C, -3.999, -4.409, and -5.145; coefficients of HDL-C, -3.869, -4.555, and -5.215; and coefficients of TC, 3.984, 4.547, and 5.231, respectively. The adjusted coefficients of determination were 0.547, 0.593, and 0.678, respectively (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Fasting TG levels can be calculated from TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels when nHDL-C levels are <160 mg/dL. Using nonfasting TG and eTG levels as indicators of hypertriglyceridemia might eliminate the need for venous sampling after overnight fasting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Recently, pemafibrate, a selective PPARα modulator, has been developed as a treatment for hypertriglyceridemia and has attracted much attention. The aims of this study were to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pemafibrate in hypertriglyceridemia patients under clinical settings. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated changes in lipid profiles and various parameters before and after 24-week pemafibrate administration in patients with hypertriglyceridemia who had not previously taken fibrate medications. There were 79 cases included in the analysis. 24 weeks after the treatment with pemafibrate, TG was significantly reduced from 312 ± 226 to 167 ± 94 mg/dL. In addition, lipoprotein fractionation tests using PAGE method showed a significant decrease in the ratio of VLDL and remnant fractionations, which are TG-rich lipoproteins. After pemafibrate administration, body weight, HbA1c, eGFR, and CK levels were not changed, but liver injury indices such as ALT, AST, and γ-GTP were significantly improved. CONCLUSION In this study, pemafibrate improved the metabolism of atherosclerosis-induced lipoproteins in hypertriglyceridemia patients. In addition, it showed no off-target effects such as hepatic and renal damage or rhabdomyolysis.

Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are known risk factors for cardiovascular disease. However, treatment with statins, which control low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, increases the risk of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reduction. Although conventional fibrates, such as bezafibrate (Beza-F) and fenofibrate (Feno-F), are the mainstay for hypertriglyceridemia treatment, they may be associated with a risk of increased serum creatinine level and renal dysfunction. Pemafibrate (Pema) is pharmacologically defined as a selective peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor α modulator which is excreted in bile and not likely to cause renal dysfunction. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of switching from Beza-F or Feno-F to Pema in CKD patients with hypertriglyceridemia. We recruited 47 CKD patients with hypertriglyceridemia who were receiving Beza-F, Feno-F, or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) but were switched to Pema from 2018 to 2021. A retrospective analysis of renal function and lipid profiles was performed before and 24 weeks after switching. CKD patients switching from EPA to Pema were used as study control. The effect of Pema on hypertriglyceridemia was equivalent to that of Beza-F or Feno-F. However, after switching to Pema, eGFR showed a marked average improvement of 10.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 (P < .001). Improvement in eGFR and levels of n-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase and β-2-microglobulin was observed only in cases of switching from Beza-F or Feno-F but not from EPA. Although Beza-F and Feno-F are useful medications for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia, these are associated with a high risk of renal dysfunction. We also found that the deterioration in eGFR due to Beza-F or Feno-F is reversible with drug withdrawal and may not increase the risk for long-term renal dysfunction. We suggest that Pema may be an effective and safe treatment for hypertriglyceridemia in CKD patients.

Abstract
AIMS We investigated the optimal cut-off points of nonfasting and fasting triglycerides in Japanese individuals with lower average triglyceride levels than westerners. METHODS Residents aged 40-69 years without a history of ischemic heart disease or stroke were enrolled between 1980 and 1994 and followed. Serum triglyceride concentrations were measured from 10851 nonfasting (<8 h after meal) and 4057 fasting (≥ 8 h) samples. As a prerequisite, we confirmed the shape of a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, the area under ROC curves (AUC), and the integrated time-dependent AUC. We identified optimal cut-off points for incident ischemic heart disease based on C-statistic, Youden index, and Harrell's concordance statistic. We used dichotomized concentrations of triglycerides via the univariate logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression models. We also calculated multivariable hazard ratios and population attributable fractions to evaluate the optimal cut-off points. RESULTS Nonfasting and fasting optimal cut-off points were 145 mg/dL and 110 mg/dL, with C-statistic of 0.594 and 0.626, Youden index of 0.187 and 0.252, and Harrell's concordance statistic of 0.590 and 0.630, respectively. The corresponding multivariable hazard ratios of ischemic heart disease were 1.43 (95%CI 1.09-1.88) and 1.69 (1.03-2.77), and the corresponding population attributable fractions were 16.1% (95%CI 3.3-27.2%) and 24.6 (-0.3-43.3). CONCLUSION The optimal cut-off points of nonfasting and fasting triglycerides in the Japanese general population were 145 mg/dL and 110 mg/dL, respectively, lower than the current cut-off points recommended in the US and Europe.

Abstract
Risk-adapted therapy is recommended to prevent thrombosis in essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients. An advanced age, a history of thrombosis, and the presence of the JAK2V617F mutation are well-defined risk factors for thrombosis in ET; however, the impact of cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors on thrombosis in ET remains elusive. Therefore, we herein investigated the impact of CVR factors on thrombosis in 580 ET patients who met the 2017 World Health Organization Classification diagnostic criteria. A univariate analysis identified hypertriglyceridemia and multiple CVR factors as strong risk factors for thrombosis (hazard ratio [HR] 3.530, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.630-7.643, P = 0.001 and HR 3.368, 95% CI 1.284-8.833, P = 0.014, respectively) and hyper-LDL cholesterolemia as a potential risk factor (HR 2.191, 95% CI 0.966-4.971, P = 0.061). A multivariate analysis revealed that hypertriglyceridemia was an independent risk factor for thrombosis (HR 3.364, 95% CI 1.541-7.346, P = 0.002). Furthermore, poor thrombosis-free survival was observed in patients with a serum triglyceride level ≥ 1.2 mmol/L (HR = 2.592, P = 0.026 vs. < 1.2 mmol/L) or two or more CVR factors (P = 0.011 vs. no CVR factors and P = 0.005 vs. one CVR factor). These results revealed the impact of CVR factors on thrombosis in ET. Since CVR factors are manageable, lifestyle interventions, such as the control of serum triglyceride levels, may effectively prevent thrombosis in ET patients.

The effects of pemafibrate and omega-3 fatty acid ethyl on apoB-48 in dyslipidemic patients treated with statin: A prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel group trial in Japan (PROUD48 study). Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1094100. [PMID: 36760560 PMCID: PMC9905248 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1094100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Background We compared the lowering effects of pemafibrate and omega-3 fatty acid ethyl on fasting apolipoprotein (apo) B-48 (apoB-48), a marker that reflects postprandial hypertriglyceridemia, which is one of the residual risks for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) with statin treatment. Methods This prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel group trial was conducted at 4 medical institutions between April 2020 and May 2022. A total of 126 ambulatory patients with dyslipidemia receiving statin treatment for more than 4 weeks, aged 20-79 years with fasting triglyceride (TG) levels of ≥177 mg/dl were randomly assigned to 16-week pemafibrate 0.4 mg per day treatment group (PEMA, n = 63) or omega-3 fatty acid ethyl 4 g per day treatment group (OMEGA-3, n = 63). The primary endpoint was the percentage change in fasting apoB-48 from baseline to week 16. Results The percentage changes in fasting apoB-48 in PEMA and OMEGA-3 were -50.8% (interquartile range -62.9 to -30.3%) and -17.5% (-38.3 to 15.3%) (P < 0.001), respectively. As the secondary endpoints, the changes in fasting apoB-48 in PEMA and OMEGA-3 were -3.10 μg/ml (-5.63 to -1.87) and -0.90 μg/ml (-2.95 to 0.65) (P < 0.001), respectively. Greater decreases with significant differences in the percentage changes in TG, remnant lipoprotein cholesterol, apoC-III, fasting plasma glucose, alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and alkaline phosphatase were observed in PEMA, compared with OMEGA-3. Greater increases with significant differences in those in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, apoA-I, and apoA-II were observed in PEMA, compared with OMEGA-3. PEMA showed anti-atherosclerotic lipoprotein profiles in gel-permeation high-performance liquid chromatography analyses, compared with OMEGA-3. Although adverse events occurred in 9 of 63 (14.3%) patients in PEMA and 3 of 63 (4.8%) patients in OMEGA-3, no serious adverse events associated with drug were observed in either group. Conclusions This is the first randomized trial to compare the lowering effects of pemafibrate and omega-3 fatty acid ethyl on fasting apoB-48. We concluded that pemafibrate was superior to omega-3 fatty acid ethyl in lowering effect of fasting apoB-48. Pemafibrate is expected to reduce the residual risk for ASCVD with statin treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on the efficacy of prescription omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids to reduce cardiovascular events have produced conflicting results. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This 3-year prospective post-marketing surveillance study evaluated the effect of omega-3-acid ethyl esters (O3AEE; usual dosage 2 g/day) on cardiovascular events in high-risk statin-treated Japanese patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Statin-treated patients not receiving O3AEE were included as a reference cohort. The composite primary endpoint was cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, angina requiring coronary revascularization, or peripheral arterial disease requiring surgery or peripheral arterial intervention. RESULTS At 3 years, Kaplan-Meier estimated cumulative incidence of the primary endpoint was 2.5% (95% confidence interval, 2.1%-2.9%) in O3AEE-treated patients (N = 6,580) and 2.7% (2.4%-3.1%) in non-O3AEE-treated patients (N = 7,784; hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% confidence interval, 0.79-1.23). Incidence of heart failure requiring hospitalization was 0.4% with O3AEE versus 0.8% in non-O3AEE-treated patients (hazard ratio, 0.47; 95% confidence interval, 0.28-0.78; P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Among patients receiving statins, cardiovascular event incidence did not differ significantly between O3AEE-treated patients and non-O3AEE-treated patients. Further studies are required before definitive conclusions can be drawn on the effect of O3AEE on cardiovascular event incidence in high-risk patients with hypertriglyceridemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic stroke (IS), a multifactorial and polygenic disease, is the most common cause of death. This study aimed to determine the roles of MMP8/MMP10 polymorphisms in IS susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. METHODS MMP8 rs1940475 and rs3765620, and MMP10 rs17860949 from 700 IS patients and 700 controls were genotyped by the MassARRAY iPLEX platform. The impact of polymorphisms on IS risk was evaluated by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Our study indicated that rs17860949 in MMP10 was significantly associated with a reduced risk of IS (OR = 0.632, p = .002). Precisely, stratification analysis showed that rs17860949 was relate to a decreased susceptibility to IS in patients aged > 55 years (OR = 0.472, p < .001), males (OR = 0.632, p = .012), nonsmokers (OR = 0.610, p = .017), and nondrinkers (OR = 0.559, p = .006). All these significant findings were verified by false-positive report probability test. Furthermore, GG genotype and AG genotype in MMP8 rs3765620 polymorphism were related to a reduced triglycerides concentration (p = .018). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that rs17860949 in MMP10 may play a protective role in IS in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study will compare the lowering effects of pemafibrate and omega-3 fatty acid ethyl esters on fasting apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48), a surrogate marker reflecting postprandial hypertriglyceridaemia, which is a residual risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with statin treatment. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a prospective, multicentre, open-label, randomised, parallel group, comparative trial. Adult Japanese patients with dyslipidaemia receiving statin treatment for more than 4 weeks with a fasting triglyceride level ≥177 mg/dL will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive pemafibrate (0.4 mg orally per day) or omega-3 fatty acid ethyl esters (4 g orally per day) for 16 weeks. The primary endpoint is the percentage change in fasting apoB-48 from baseline to 16 weeks. The key secondary endpoints include the change in fasting apoB-48 from baseline to 16 weeks, the percentage changes in clinical variables from baseline to 16 weeks and the incidence of adverse events. A total sample size of 128 was set by considering the increased drop-out rate due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to estimation based on a two-sided alpha of 0.05 and a power of 0.8 for apoB-48. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol has been approved by the Certified Review Board of the University of the Ryukyus for Clinical Research Ethics (No. CRB7200001) and will be performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. The results of the study will be disseminated through publications and conference presentations to participants, healthcare professionals and the public. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER jRCTs071200011.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The progression of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and plaques are associated with cardiovascular health, especially for high-risk population of cardiovascular disease (CVD). HYPOTHESIS Risk factors for atherosclerosis may vary by sex. This study aimed to investigate the sex-specific risk factors of cIMT and plaque progression. METHODS We selected subjects who were identified as high-risk population of CVD, and collected their carotid ultrasound data and baseline characteristics. Linear regression and logistic regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for cIMT and plaque progression. Sex-specific risk factors were identified respectively. RESULTS A total of 7908 participants were included. The mean age was 57.75 ± 9.45 years and 61.51% were female. During mean follow-up of 1.92 ± 0.89 years, the median annual cIMT change rate was -7.25 μm/year. Seven hundred and fifteen subjects free from plaques at baseline developed plaque. Age, smoking, hypertension, and diabetes were common risk factors for carotid atherosclerosis progression in all participants. Smoking and alcohol drinking were significantly associated with increased cIMT change in women, while hypertension and antihypertensive medication were significant in men. Increased total cholesterol and diabetes were significantly associated with new plaque presence in women, while smoking, increased triglyceride, and dyslipidemia were significant in men (p ˂ .05 for all cases). The association of baseline cIMT and smoking with annual cIMT change rate and increased total cholesterol with new plaque presence were significantly differentiated between both sexes (p for interaction ˂ .05). CONCLUSIONS The risk factors for cIMT and plaque progression differed by sex.

Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia is caused by defects in triglyceride metabolism and generally manifests as abnormally high plasma triglyceride levels. Although the role of hypertriglyceridemia may not draw as much attention as that of plasma cholesterol in stroke, plasma triglycerides, especially nonfasting triglycerides, are thought to be correlated with the risk of ischemic stroke. Hypertriglyceridemia may increase the risk of ischemic stroke by promoting atherosclerosis and thrombosis and increasing blood viscosity. Moreover, hypertriglyceridemia may have some protective effects in patients who have already suffered a stroke via unclear mechanisms. Therefore, further studies are needed to elucidate the role of hypertriglyceridemia in the development and prognosis of ischemic stroke.

Risk Classification for Metabolic Syndrome and the Incidence of Cardiovascular Disease in Japan With Low Prevalence of Obesity: A Pooled Analysis of 10 Prospective Cohort Studies. J Am Heart Assoc 2021; 10:e020760. [PMID: 34796738 PMCID: PMC9075363 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.121.020760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Background It is uncertain whether risk classification under the nationwide program on screening and lifestyle modification for metabolic syndrome captures well high-risk individuals who could benefit from lifestyle interventions. We examined the validity of risk classification by linking the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods and Results Individual-level data of 29 288 Japanese individuals aged 40 to 74 years without a history of CVD from 10 prospective cohort studies were used. Metabolic syndrome was defined as the presence of high abdominal obesity and/or overweight plus risk factors such as high blood pressure, high triglyceride or low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and high blood glucose levels. The risk categories for lifestyle intervention were information supply only, motivation-support intervention, and intensive support intervention. Sex- and age-specific hazard ratios and population attributable fractions of CVD, which were also further adjusted to consider non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, were estimated with reference to nonobese/overweight individuals, using Cox proportional hazard regression. Since the reference category included those with risk factors, we set a supernormal group (nonobese/overweight with no risk factor) as another reference. We documented 1023 incident CVD cases (565 men and 458 women). The adjusted CVD risk was 60% to 70% higher in men and women aged 40 to 64 years receiving an intensive support intervention, and 30% higher in women aged 65 to 74 years receiving a motivation-support intervention, compared with nonobese/overweight individuals. The population attributable fractions in men and women aged 40 to 64 years receiving an intensive support intervention were 17.7% and 6.6%, respectively, while that in women aged 65 to 74 years receiving a motivation-support intervention was 9.4%. Compared with the supernormal group, nonobese/overweight individuals with risk factors had similar hazard ratios and population attributable fractions as individuals with metabolic syndrome. Conclusions Similar CVD excess and attributable risks among individuals with metabolic syndrome components in the absence and presence of obesity/overweight imply the need for lifestyle modification in both high-risk groups.

Abstract
Data examining the relationship between arterial stiffness and triglyceride (TG) and other cardiovascular risk factors have remained to be sparse.Of the 5,109 patients with any cardiovascular risk factors in the Cardiovascular Prognostic Coupling Study in Japan (the Coupling Registry), the data of 1,534 patients who had no history of cardiovascular disease and were without low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) -lowering therapy (average age 67.9 ± 12.0 years, 55% males) were analyzed. Arterial stiffness was evaluated using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). Among the clinical and behavioral cardiovascular risk factors, the significant factors that constituted the CAVI value were smoking, diabetes, lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and higher TG. After adjustment for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI), only TG (odds ratio [OR] per 1 standard deviation, 1.26 [95% confidence interval, 1.12-1.44]) and diabetes (OR, 1.52 [1.22-1.90]) were found to be associated with a risk of higher CAVI (≥ 9.0). TG (C-statistic, 0.80 [0.78-0.82]; P = 0.040) and diabetes (C-statistic, 0.80 [0.78-0.82]; P = 0.038) significantly improved the discrimination of the risk of a higher CAVI beyond the model that included age, sex, and BMI.TG was associated with a risk of arterial stiffness, and its contribution was slight but almost the same as that of diabetes among patients who had cardiovascular risk without a history of cardiovascular disease and LDL-C-lowering therapy.

Abstract
AIM Seaweed contains soluble dietary fibers, potassium, and flavonoids and was recently reported to be inversely associated with the risk of coronary heart disease and mortality from stroke. However, epidemiological evidence on this issue has remained scarce. METHODS At the baseline survey of four Japanese communities between 1984 and 2000, we enrolled 6,169 men and women aged 40-79 years who had no history of cardiovascular disease. We assessed their seaweed intake using the data from a 24 h dietary recall survey and categorized the intake into four groups (0, 1-5.5, 5.5-15, and ≥ 15 g/day). We used sex-specific Cox proportional hazards models to examine the association between seaweed intake and risk of cardiovascular disease (stroke, stroke subtypes, and coronary heart disease). RESULTS During the 130,248 person-year follow-up, 523 cases of cardiovascular disease occurred: 369 cases of stroke and 154 cases of coronary heart disease. Seaweed intake levels were inversely associated with the risk of total stroke and cerebral infarction among men but not among women. Adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors did not change the associations: the hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals; P for trend) for the highest versus lowest categories of seaweed intake were 0.63 (0.42-0.94; 0.01) for total stroke and 0.59 (0.36-0.97; 0.03) for cerebral infarction. No associations were observed between seaweed intake and risks of intraparenchymal hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or coronary heart disease among men or women. CONCLUSIONS We found an inverse association between seaweed intake and risk of total stroke, especially that from cerebral infarction, among Japanese men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The independent effect of serum triglyceride levels on the development of ischemic cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains inconclusive, which might be due to heterogeneity among study populations. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of triglyceride levels on ischemic CVD and mortality in Korean women, with stratification according to the menopausal status, diabetes mellitus, or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (LDL-C). METHODS We retrospectively investigated Korean women aged 40-69 years who underwent health examination in 2009 and were followed up until 2018 using nationwide claim data. The subjects were divided according to triglyceride quartiles (Q): Q1 <70 mg/dL, Q2 71-99 mg/dL, Q3 100-142 mg/dL, and Q4 ≥143 mg/dL. The primary outcome was the incidence of CVD defined as a composite of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. RESULTS Among 2,208,347 women, primary outcome occurred in 62,255 (2.8%) subjects. As triglyceride levels increased, the event rate of primary outcome increased in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women in the fully adjusted model (hazard ratio [HR] per 1 Q, 1.10 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08-1.12] and 1.08 [95% CI, 1.07-1.09], respectively), which was maintained on further stratification according to diabetes or LDL-C (P<0.05 in all). Higher triglyceride levels were more significantly associated with the primary outcome, MI, and stroke risk among women with optimal non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (non-HDL-C) <130 mg/dL, but only weakly with stroke for women with non-optimal non-HDL-C. CONCLUSION Triglyceride is an independent prognosticator in the development of ischemic CVD in Korean women aged 40-69 years.

Abstract
Low 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels are closely associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D deficiency is more common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus than in the general population. In addition, vitamin D status is lower in patients with the metabolic syndrome than in those without the syndrome. Therefore, we examined the association between lipid profiles and 25(OH)D levels. In this case control study, 285 type 2 diabetic patients who attended the Manda Memorial Hospital from March to October 2017 were selected and 25(OH)D, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride (TG) levels, were obtained. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the association between 25(OH)D concentrations and TG levels was statistically significant (p<0.01) after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, estimated glomerular flow rate (eGFR), insulin use, duration of diabetes mellitus, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), alcohol consumption, current smoking, and sampling timing. The serum 25(OH)D level was inversely associated with the TG level after the adjustment for the characteristics of Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nonfasting serum triglyceride (TG) level is attracting more and more attention as an atherosclerosis-promoting factor. However, no study has investigated the relationships between nonfasting TG levels and carotid restenosis after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS). This study was conducted to investigate if nonfasting TG levels can be used to assess a risk for carotid restenosis after CEA or CAS. METHODS This was a single-center retrospective study. We reviewed 201 consecutive primary carotid artery revascularization procedures (39 CEAs and 162 CASs), which were performed from 2008 to 2018 for 179 patients (163 men and 16 women) with atherosclerotic carotid stenosis, and were followed up for at least 1 year. Clinical variables including nonfasting lipid profiles and findings of magnetic resonance plaque imaging were compared between groups with and without postprocedural carotid restenosis (≥50% stenosis on ultrasonography). RESULTS During a mean follow-up period of 1413 days, 24 of 201 carotid stenosis procedures (11.9%) suffered restenosis after successful revascularization procedures. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that nonfasting TG level was the only independent risk factor of postprocedural restenosis. The receiver operating characteristic curve analyses revealed that a cutoff value of nonfasting TG to discriminate postprocedural carotid restenosis was 127.5 mg/dL, which was much lower than the upper limit of normal. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that nonfasting TG level may be a useful marker to predict carotid restenosis after CEA or CAS, and could be a new therapeutic target to prevent carotid restenosis after revascularization procedures.

Abstract
Aim: Diabetes mellitus and hypertriglyceridemia may adversely interact with the development of ischemic cardiovascular disease, but epidemiological evidence on this issue is scarce. We hypothesized that the impact of hypertriglyceridemia on ischemic cardiovascular disease (ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke) would differ according to the presence or absence of diabetes mellitus and tested oura priori hypothesis under a large population-based prospective study.
Methods: A total of 90,468 men and women aged 40–79 years in 1993 were enrolled in the Ibaraki Prefectural Health Study (IPHS), a community-based cohort study of Japanese. The participants’ serum triglyceride levels (mostly nonfasting) were measured every 5 years, and the participants were followed up for mortality from ischemic cardiovascular disease through 2016. Hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) were calculated according to 5-year updated triglyceride levels (<100, 100–149, 150–199, 200–299, and ≥ 300 mg/dl).
Results: During 1,795,877 person-years, there were 3,323 deaths from ischemic cardiovascular diseases (1,968 ischemic heart diseases and 1,355 ischemic strokes). We found no association between triglyceride levels and the risk of mortality from ischemic cardiovascular disease after adjustment for known cardiovascular risk factors. However, when stratified by the presence or absence of diabetes mellitus, excess mortality from ischemic cardiovascular disease appeared among participants with diabetes mellitus with triglyceride levels of ≥ 300 mg/dl. Further adjustment for high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol attenuated the association toward being statistically nonsignificant.
Conclusion: The impact of high serum triglyceride levels on the risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease mortality was confined to participants with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Objective Although lowering the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels using statins can reduce cardiovascular risk, 70% of the cardiovascular risk remains despite treatment with statins. Several studies have shown that elevated triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoprotein is the primary therapeutic target for reducing the residual risk. However, conventional treatment with fibrates is frequently associated with adverse drug reactions, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and even with a reduction in TG. Pemafibrate is a novel selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α modulator (SPPARMα) with fewer side effects and greater effectiveness that can overcome these challenges. We aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of pemafibrate in patients with CKD and herein present a real-world profile of pemafibrate. Methods Between January 2019 and January 2020, 126 consecutive patients with hyperglyceridemia from two institutions (54 patients with CKD; 43%) who received pemafibrate were enrolled in this retrospective observational study. Blood samples were collected before (baseline) and at 24 weeks after commencing pemafibrate therapy. The primary endpoint was a decrease in the serum lipid levels. The secondary endpoints were the incidence of rhabdomyolysis, hepatargy, and an exacerbation of CKD. Results All patients, including 51% of patients who were concurrently taking statins, reported significantly reduced total cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (non-HDL-C), LDL-C, and TG, and increased HDL-C (p<0.05). The subgroup of patients with CKD showed similar results without increased HDL-C. No adverse events were observed in any patients. Conclusion Pemafibrate has a good safety profile and efficacy for treating patients with serum lipid abnormalities, including those with CKD.

Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2021; 31:1890-1902. [PMID: 33994064 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2021.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 02/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Shift workers face an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), type-2 diabetes and obesity. Eating during the night is a likely contributing factor, as it coincides with the time at which postprandial metabolism is least efficient. In this pilot randomised crossover trial, we examine the effects of a short overnight fast on CVD risk markers (primarily postprandial triglyceride and glucose response) of night shift workers. METHODS AND RESULTS Night shift workers with abdominal obesity underwent 4-week intervention and control periods, separated by ≥ 2 weeks washout. In the intervention period, an overnight fast (0100 h-0600 h) was implemented, by redistributing 24-h energy intake. Usual dietary habits were followed in the control period. Outcomes between intervention and control were compared using mixed effects linear regression models. Nineteen adults completed the trial [13 females, mean (±SD) age 41 ± 10 years, BMI 30.7 ± 5.7 kg/m2]. Postprandial triglyceride and glucose response post intervention were not different to post control. The overnight fast was well-tolerated by participants with an adherence rate of 95%, assessed by weekly 24-h dietary recalls. Exploratory analysis indicates lower mean body weight post intervention compared to post control (mean difference: -0.9 kg, 95% CI: -1.3 to -0.4). CONCLUSIONS Night shift workers who habitually ate during their night shifts were able to rearrange their meal times to maintain a small overnight fast, which may have promoted small weight changes. This warrants further investigation into the role of meal timing in mitigating the metabolic consequences of night shift work.

Abstract
Aim:
A prospective cohort study in a Japanese urban general population was performed to investigate whether triglyceride (TG) and its related indices were associated with the risk for the incidence of ischemic cardiovascular disease (CVD) after the adjustment for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in Asian community dwellers.
Methods:
A 15.1-year prospective cohort study was performed in 6,684 Japanese community dwellers aged 30–79 years without a history of CVD and whose fasting TG levels were <400 mg/dL. After adjusting for covariates, including LDL-C, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the deciles (D) of TG and those of 1-standard deviation (SD) increment of log-transformed TG (1-SD of TG) according to LDL-C level (≥ 140 and <140 mg/dL) for ischemic CVD incidence were estimated. The multivariable-adjusted HRs and 95%CIs of the quintiles (Q) of TG, TG/HDL-C, and the cardiometabolic index (CMI) for ischemic CVD were also estimated.
Results:
In 101,230 person-years, 464 ischemic CVD cases occurred. For D
10
of TG, the HR (95%CI) was 1.56 (1.05–2.32), and for 1-SD of TG, it was 1.30 (1.00–1.70) in participants with LDL-C <140 mg/dL and 1.07 (0.77–1.50) in those with LDL-C ≥ 140 mg/dL. For Q
5
of the CMI, the multivariable-adjusted HR was higher than those of TG and TG/HDL-C.
Conclusions:
Fasting TG was an independent predictor for ischemic CVD incidence after adjusting for LDL-C in Japanese community dwellers with TG <400 mg/dL. Among TG, TG/HDL-C, and the CMI, the CMI could be the most powerful predictor for ischemic CVD.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION To identify thresholds for postprandial hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia predictive of all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1,928 patients with type 2 diabetes visited our clinic for the first time from 1995 to 1999 and were followed up for ≥1 year. During the first year, 2-h post-breakfast blood glucose (2h-BG) levels were measured in 1,122 patients (BG cohort) and postprandial serum triglyceride (ppTG) levels were measured in 1,826 patients (TG cohort). Patients were retrospectively followed until 2017 and administered questionnaires. Associations between 2h-BG and ppTG levels and mortality risk were assessed by the multivariate Cox regression analysis. RESULTS Over of 17,429 person-years, 162 deaths occurred in the BG cohort, and over 28,026 person-years, 253 deaths occurred in the TG cohort. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals for all-cause mortality per 1-standard deviation increases in 2h-BG and ppTG were 1.34 (1.08-1.67) and 1.24 (1.06-1.45), respectively. HRs showed increasing trends across quintiles of 2h-BG (P = 0.034) and ppTG (P = 0.007). The HR was significantly elevated (2.37, 1.26-4.47) in the fifth quintile of 2h-BG (≥13.8 mmol/L) compared with the first quintile (<7.0 mmol/L; P = 0.008). The HR was also significantly elevated (1.63, 1.03-2.60) in the fifth quintile of ppTG (≥2.30 mmol/L) compared with the first quintile (<0.91 mmol/L; P = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS Postprandial hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia were associated with all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. We propose thresholds of 13.8 mmol/L 2h-BG and 2.30 mmol/L ppTG to identify patients at increased risk of mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statins effectively reduce risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) when 10-year risk is ≥ 7.5%. In many patients at intermediate risk (7.5-<20% risk), there is uncertainty about reliability of risk assessment by current pooled cohort equations (PCE). A decision to initiate statin therapy is favored by several risk enhancing factors not employed in PCEs. OBJECTIVE This study examines the scope of the metabolic syndrome, a risk enhancing factor, and its principal sequala, diabetes, in 26,796 US adults age 40-75 years from the NHANES survey data, 1999-2016. METHODS The prevalence of metabolic syndrome without diabetes (MetS+) and of diabetes (DM+) were determined for 10-year risk categories estimated to be low (<7.5%), intermediate (7.5% -< 20%) and high (≥20%). Data were weighted to account for complex study design. RESULTS 90.4% of the population was free of ASCVD. In subjects projected to be at low risk by PCEs, MetS+ was present in 15.0% and 17.6% of women and men, respectively. MetS + increased to 30.6% of women and 29.6% of men at intermediate risk, and to 21.5% of women and 32.2% of men at high risk. In addition, DM+ was present in 6.1%/5.3% (F/M) of low risk individuals, 20.1%/14.8% (F/M) of intermediate risk subjects, and 44.3%/39.4% (F/M) of high-risk persons. Prevalence of both MetS+ and DM + rose progressively with age in women and men. CONCLUSIONS MetS+ and DM + are common multiplex risk factors that predispose to higher lifetime risk and support statin therapy in patients at intermediate and high risk.

Abstract
Objective This study examined the chronic effect of increased physical activity on postprandial triglycerides in older women. Methods Twenty-six women, aged 72 ± 5 years (mean ± SD), participated in this study. Participants in the physical activity group (n = 11) were asked to increase their activities above their usual lifestyle levels for 12 weeks. Participants in the control group (n = 15) maintained their usual lifestyle for 12 weeks. All participants rested and consumed a standardized breakfast after a 24-h period of physical activity avoidance at baseline, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks. Blood samples were collected in the fasted state (0 h) and at 2, 4, and 6 h after breakfast. Results The average increased time spent in self-selected activities per day was 1.1 ± 19.3 min over the 12 weeks compared with the baseline in the physical activity group. There was no difference in the postprandial time-averaged triglyceride area under the curve at baseline (1.59 ± 0.81 vs. 1.39 ± 0.67 mmol/L, p = 0.515) or over the 12-week intervention (1.78 ± 1.00 vs. 1.31 ± 0.67 mmol/L, p = 0.212) between the physical activity and control groups. Conclusion Postprandial triglyceride concentrations were not reduced after performing self-selected activities under free-living conditions in older women when these responses were determined 24 h after the last physical activity bout.

Abstract
Background Non-fasting triglycerides (TG) are considered a better predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than fasting TG. However, the effect of non-fasting TG on fatal CVD events remains unclear. In the present study, we aimed to explore the relationship between non-fasting TG and CVD mortality in a Japanese general population. Methods A total of 6,831 participants without a history of CVD, in which those who had a blood sampling over 8 hours or more after a meal were excluded, were followed for 18.0 years. We divided participants into seven groups according to non-fasting TG levels: ≤59 mg/dL, 60–89 mg/dL, 90–119 mg/dL, 120–149 mg/dL, 150–179 mg/dL, 180–209 mg/dL, and ≥210 mg/dL, and estimated the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of each TG group for CVD mortality after adjusting for potential confounders, including high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Additionally, we performed analysis stratified by age <65 and ≥65 years. Results During the follow-up period, 433 deaths due to CVD were detected. Compared with a non-fasting TG of 150–179 mg/dL, non-fasting TG ≥210 mg/dL was significantly associated with increased risk for CVD mortality (HR 1.56: 95% CI, 1.01–2.41). Additionally, lower levels of non-fasting TG were also significantly associated with increased risk for fatal CVD. In participants aged ≥65 years, lower levels of non-fasting TG had a stronger impact on increased risk for CVD mortality, while higher levels of non-fasting TG had a stronger impact in those aged <65 years. Conclusion In a general Japanese population, we observed a U-shaped association between non-fasting TG and fatal CVD events.

The Effects of Displacing Sedentary Behavior With Two Distinct Patterns of Light Activity on Health Outcomes in Older Adults (Implications for COVID-19 Quarantine). Front Physiol 2021; 11:574595. [PMID: 33424618 PMCID: PMC7793876 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2020.574595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2020] [Accepted: 11/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Rationale: The COVID-19 pandemic is limiting outdoor and community-based activities, especially for older adults owing to the requirement for self-isolation, potentially increasing prolonged sedentary behavior (SB). Given a poor tolerance for intense exercise, SB displacement with light intensity physical activity (LIPA) is a promising health enhancing alternative. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the effects of two different types of SB displacement on health outcomes in older adults and any differential impact of associated LIPA pattern. Method: 28 older women (age: 73 ± 5 years, height: 1.60 ± 0.07 m, weight: 67 ± 10 kg, and BMI: 26.1 ± 3.6 kg/m2) underwent overnight fasted dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) imaging, blood sampling, and functional assessments before being randomly allocated to one of two groups: (1) single continuous bout of 45–50 min LIPA daily (n = 14); or (2) SB fragmentation (SBF; ~48 min LIPA daily, 2 min LIPA for every 30 min of SB; n = 14). Compliance was systematically monitored using tri-axial accelerometery. All measures were taken at weeks 0 and 8. Results: Physical behavior significantly altered (decreased SB/increased LIPA; p < 0.05) and to a similar extent in both groups. We observed a significant reduction in serum triglycerides [p = 0.045, effect size (ɳp2) = 0.15; SBF: −0.26 ± 0.77 mmol/L, LIPA: −0.26 ± 0.51 mmol/L], improved 30 s sit-to-stand (STS) count (p = 0.002, ɳp2 = 0.32, 2 ± 3 STS) and speed (p = 0.009, ɳp2 = 0.35, −10 ± 33%), as well as increased average handgrip strength (p = 0.001, ɳp2 = 0.45, 6 ± 12%), and gait speed (p = 0.005, ɳp2 = 0.27, 0.09 ± 0.16 m/s) in both groups. Interestingly, SBF caused a greater increase in peak handgrip strength (8 ± 14%), compared to LIPA (2 ± 10%; p = 0.04, ɳp2 = 0.38). Conclusion: SB displacement induced significant improvements in fasting triglycerides, gait speed, as-well as STS endurance/speed in older women. Frequent vs. continuous SB displacement also caused greater increases in handgrip strength. While both SB displacement protocols display promise as efficacious home-based interventions for self-isolating older adults, our results would suggest a physical functioning advantage of the SBF protocol for certain outcomes.

The Effect of Sex Differences on Endothelial Function and Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Hypertriglyceridemia. Cardiol Res Pract 2020; 2020:2132918.

Abstract
Background Men have a higher risk and earlier onset of cardiovascular diseases compared with premenopausal women. Hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of ischemic heart disease. Endothelial dysfunction is related to the development of ischemic heart disease. Whether sex differences will affect the circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and endothelial function in hypertriglyceridemia patients or not is not clear. Methods Forty premenopausal women and forty age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched men without cardiovascular and metabolic disease were recruited and then divided into four groups: normotriglyceridemic women (women with serum triglycerides level <150 mg/dl), hypertriglyceridemic women (women with serum triglycerides level ≥150 mg/dl), normotriglyceridemic men (men with serum triglycerides level <150 mg/dl), and hypertriglyceridemic men (men with serum triglycerides level ≥150 mg/dl). Peripheral blood was obtained and evaluated. Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), the number and activity of circulating EPCs, and the levels of nitric oxide (NO), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in plasma and culture medium were measured. Results The number and activity of circulating EPCs, as well as the level of NO in plasma or culture medium, were remarkably increased in premenopausal females compared with those in males both in the hypertriglyceridemic group and the normotriglyceridemic group. The EPC counts and activity, as well as the production of NO, were restored in hypertriglyceridemic premenopausal women compared with those in normal women. However, in hypertriglyceridemic men, the EPC counts and activity, as well as levels of NO, were significantly reduced. The values of VEGF and GM-CSF were without statistical change. Conclusions The present study firstly demonstrated that there were sex differences in the number and activity of circulating EPCs in hyperglyceridemia patients. Hypertriglyceridemic premenopausal women displayed restored endothelial functions, with elevated NO production, probably mediated by estradiol. We provided a new insight to explore the clinical biomarkers and therapeutic strategies for hypertriglyceridemia-related vascular damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum triglyceride concentrations are measured as total glycerides content in many Western countries. In Japan, glycerol-blanked triglycerides (TG-GB) are measured to identify postprandial hypertriglyceridaemia and to minimize the influence of glycerol formulation on serum triglyceride values. However, TG-GB measurements have not been standardized. Therefore, we developed an efficient quantification system for total glycerides and free glycerol that allows the calculation of TG-GB concentrations. METHODS We measured total glycerides and free glycerol in human serum by using gas chromatography-isotope dilution mass spectrometry and compared its performance to the reference method of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). RESULTS Our practical method of total glycerides and free glycerol quantification achieved excellent precision for both within-run and among-run coefficients of variation (<1.5% and <2.7%, respectively), with an average recovery of 99.8% for free glycerol. However, we noted an average %bias of -0.26% for total glycerides and -3.15% for free glycerol between our TG-GB method and the CDC reference method. CONCLUSIONS This practical method of total glycerides and free glycerol quantification enables traceability assessment of TG-GB measurements. Differences between the output values of TG-GB and the CDC reference method might result from the differences in free glycerol values.

Abstract
AIM This study aims to evaluate the effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors on lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). METHODS This is a multicenter, open-labeled, randomized controlled study. T2D patients with HbA1c 6.9-8.9% (52-74 mmol/mol) who were under treatment with sulfonylurea were randomly allocated to either the sitagliptin group or the non-sitagliptin group. Glucose and lipid metabolism parameters including apolipoproteins (apo), sterols, and urinary albumin were assessed at baseline, 3, and 6 months of the treatment. RESULTS A total of 164 patients completed the 6-month observation (n = 81 for sitagliptin and n = 83 for non-sitagliptin). HbA1c decreased in the sitagliptin group but not in the non-sitagliptin group. Serum TG and total, LDL and HDL cholesterol levels did not change in either group. Apo B-48, apo CII, and apo CIII levels decreased in the sitagliptin group, but not in the non-sitagliptin group. The change in urinary albumin was significantly different between the groups with a preferable change in the sitagliptin group. There were no changes in serum sterols levels in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The treatment of sitagliptin for 6 months improves the metabolism of glucose and chylomicron and reduces plasma levels of atherogenic lipoproteins in patients with T2D.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Oxidative stress plays a central role in the development and progression of vascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We have previously shown that markers of glucose variability evaluated by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) are positively associated with oxidative stress in patients with T2DM. However, the evaluation of the glycemic variability by CGM remains a time- and money-consuming procedure. Therefore, this study investigated the independent correlates of oxidative stress among various other clinical markers routinely measured in primary care. METHODS This was a retrospective cross-sectional study with 234 T2DM patients to examine which clinical variables, including 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (1,5-AG) and glycated albumin (GA), were independently associated with oxidative stress. Oxidative stress was measured using the diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) test. The relationships between d-ROMs and clinical factors, such as blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), 1,5-AG, GA, lipid parameters, and blood pressure, were examined. RESULTS Multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that 1,5-AG (inversely), GA, triglycerides, use of metformin and being female were independently associated with d-ROMs. When patients with T2DM were stratified into two groups with HbA1c < 8.0% and HbA1c ≥ 8.0%, 1,5-AG (inversely), HbA1c, use of metformin and being female were independently associated with d-ROMs in diabetes patients with HbA1c < 8.0%, whereas GA, fasting plasma glucose and being female were independently associated with d-ROMs in patients with HbA1c ≥ 8.0%. CONCLUSION Our present study suggests that 1,5-AG and GA are the strongest correlates of oxidative stress in patients with well and poorly controlled T2DM, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few data specifically investigate associations between fasting/non-fasting triglycerides (TG) and cardiovascular (CV) events under statin therapy among Japanese diabetic patients.Methods and Results:We recruited 4,988 participants with diabetes from the EMPATHY study. Median follow-up was 3 years. We evaluated associations between serum fasting/non-fasting TG and first CV events in Cox-regression hazard models adjusted by classical risk factors. CV events were defined as (1) major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiac death; and (2) CV diseases (CVD) including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, ischemic stroke, or large artery disease or peripheral arterial disease. Fasting as well as non-fasting TG were associated with MACE (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.017 per 10 mg/dL; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.000-1.037; P=0.046, adjusted HR: 1.028 per 10 mg/dL; 95% CI: 1.006-1.050; P=0.0091) and CVD (adjusted HR: 1.024 per 10 mg/dL; 95% CI: 1.011-1.038; P=4.4×10-3, adjusted HR: 1.028 per 10 mg/dL; 95% CI: 1.010-1.046; P=4.9×10-3). Comparing the top quartile with the bottom quartile of non-fasting TG, adjusted HR significantly increased 5.18 (95% CI: 1.38-18.3, P=0.014) for MACE, and 2.40 (95% CI: 1.11-4.75, P=0.021) for CVD, while adjusted HR did not change when divided into quartile of fasting TG. CONCLUSIONS Non-fasting TG could be considered as a substitute for fasting TG as a risk stratification for future CV events among Japanese diabetic patients.

Abstract
Objective- Secondary prevention for recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most important therapeutic goals in patients with old MI (OMI). Although statins are widely used for this purpose, there remains considerable residual risk even after LDL (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) is well controlled by statins. Approach and Results- We examined clinical impacts of nHDL (nonhigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and its major components triglyceride and LDL as residual risks for acute MI recurrence, using the database of our CHART (Chronic Heart Failure Analysis and Registry in the Tohoku District)-2 Study, the largest-scale cohort study of cardiovascular patients in Japan. We enrolled 1843 consecutive old MI patients treated with statins (mean age 67.3 years, male 19.2%) in the CHART-2 Study. The incidence of recurrent acute MI during the median 8.6-year follow-up was compared among the groups divided by the levels of nHDL (<100, 100-129, and ≥130 mg/dL), LDL (<70, 70-99, and ≥100 mg/dL), triglyceride (<84, 84-149, and ≥150 mg/dL), and combination of LDL and triglyceride. Kaplan-Meier curves and multiple Cox proportional hazards models showed that higher levels of nHDL, but not LDL or triglyceride alone, were associated with higher incidence of recurrent acute MI. Furthermore, higher triglyceride levels were associated with higher incidence of recurrent MI in patients with LDL <100 mg/dL but not in those with LDL ≥100 mg/dL. Conclusions- These results indicate that management of residual risks for acute MI recurrence should include nHDL management considering both LDL and triglyceride in old MI patients under statin treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: Fasting is defined as the voluntary abstinence from eating for variable time intervals and it has been associated with potential beneficial impacts on human health. The study was to review the benefits of fasting on cardiovascular health in humans with or without cardiovascular disease.Methods: The databases search was done using the keywords ‘fasting’ and ‘cardiovascular system’ using Scopus, Science Direct and ProQuest, limited to between 2013 and 2019 for publication year. A total of 3.619 articles were obtained and 15 articles involving experimental and non-experimental studies were used as the reference material.Results: The findings showed that in people who are healthy, fasting can reduce the inflammatory markers (IL-1 & IL-6, TNF-α), the oxidative stress marker (Malondialdehyde), body weight, abdominal circumference, fasting blood glucose, LDL, triglyceride and blood pressure. In people at risk or with cardiovascular disease, fasting can reduce body weight, body mass index, abdominal circumference, fat percentage, blood pressure, triglyceride, the biomarker of inflammation (serum amyloid A), the biomarker of oxidative stress (protein carbonyl), the biomarker of endothelial dysfunction (asymmetric dimethylarginine) and increase the vascular endothelial growth factor.Conclusion: Based on these findings, fasting can improve the health condition of people at risk or with cardiovascular disease by improving the risk factors such as blood pressure, overweight and endothelial dysfunction. In people who are healthy, fasting can be used for the prevention of cardiovascular disease by helping to maintain their weight, blood pressure, LDL and triglyceride within the normal limits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Mac-2 binding protein (M2BP) plays an important role in cell adhesion. In a recent cross-sectional study we reported that serum M2BP concentrations may reflect silent atherosclerosis. The aim of the present prospective follow-up study was to investigate possible relationships between changes in concentrations of M2BP and other factors over a >3-year period. METHODS AND RESULTS The present study enrolled subjects who visited Enshu hospital from 2014 to 2015 for a periodic physical check-up and then attended for another physical check-up after >3 years (n = 174). Factors affecting changes in M2BP concentrations were investigated at both baseline and follow-up. Subjects with liver dysfunction, a history of hepatic disease, malignant neoplasm, or cardiovascular events at baseline were excluded. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses showed that changes in serum M2BP concentrations during the follow-up period were significantly associated with changes in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride, and oxidative stress marker derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROM) concentrations. Moreover, the increase in LDL-C was significantly greater in subjects in whom M2BP concentrations increased during the follow-up period. Logistic regression analysis with an endpoint of increased M2BP revealed that increased LDL-C was an independent determinant of an increase in M2BP during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION During the observation period of >3 years, serum M2BP concentrations were increased in subjects who also exhibited increases in levels of metabolic parameters, especially LDL-C, and the oxidative stress marker d-ROM. These results support that serum M2BP reflects one of the contributors to the progression of silent atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BackgroundAlthough hyperlipidaemia was a well-known risk factor for ischaemic stroke, the association between triglyceride and first ischaemic stroke remains uncertain.ObjectivesThe present study attempted to explore the relationship between triglyceride and first ischaemic stroke in a Chinese community elderly patients with hypertension.Methods and resultsThis was a retrospective cohort study. We enrolled 3249 consecutive elderly patients with hypertension from a community in China between January 2010 and December 2011. Patients were divided into four groups based on the quartiles of triglyceride. Multivariate Cox regression analysis, subgroup and interaction test were performed to evaluate the relationship between triglyceride and first ischaemic stroke. There were a total of 3249 participants including 1455 male and 1794 female, with a mean age of 71.36±7.18 years. At an average follow-up of 5.5 years, 205 patients were identified to have first ischaemic stroke. After adjustment for potential confounders, using the lowest quartiles of triglyceride as the reference, multivariable HR (95% CI) for first ischaemic stroke increased in parallel with the quartiles of triglyceride (HRs were 1.56 (95% CI 1.07 to 2.51), 1.74 (95% CI 1.07 to 2.84) and 1.85 (95% CI 1.05 to 2.89)) from the second to the fourth quartiles, respectively (p=0.002 for trend). Subgroup and interaction analysis showed that there was no interactive effect on triglyceride and first ischaemic stroke.ConclusionTriglyceride was an independent risk factor for first ischaemic stroke among Chinese elderly patients with hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) provide many recommendations for hyperlipidemia management, but some of them are still debatable. METHODS We applied the six-domain Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) instrument to evaluate the quality of guidelines with lipid management recommendations for coronary heart disease (CHD), including dyslipidemia and CHD guidelines published from 2009 to 2019. Meanwhile, we synthesized and compared major recommendations and present the consistency and controversy in current dyslipidemia management. RESULTS Among 19 guidelines included, ten guidelines ("strongly recommended" with AGREE scores 61-94%) performed better than the other nine (38-65% as "recommended with some modification") For blood lipid tests, most CHD guidelines simply required fasting sample while dyslipidemia guidelines preferred non-fasting sample except in high triglycerides state. Most guidelines consistently chose low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) as the primary lipid-lowering target (LLT), while non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and apolipoprotein B were mainly selected as secondary LLTs. The specific goals of LDL-C lowering were either to lower than 70 mg/dL or with at least 50% reduction. All guidelines recommended high intensity or maximally tolerable doses of statins, while ezetimibe and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors were recommended as second-line therapy. CONCLUSIONS The general quality of guidelines for lipid management is satisfactory. Consensus has been reached on the specific goal of lipid reduction and the intensity of statins therapy. Further research is needed to validate the application of non-fasting sample and non-HDL-C target, as well as the efficacy and safety of ezetimibe and PCSK9 inhibitors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is little evidence to support an increased risk of blood pressure (BP) elevation among elderly individuals receiving antihypertensive drug treatment. METHODS To clarify the impact on BP level and residual cardiovascular risk in treated elderly individuals, we analysed individual participant data of 26 133 residents aged 60-89 years from seven Japanese general populations and cross-classified participants by age category, 60-74 (young-old) versus 75-89 years (old-old), and by usage of antihypertensive medication at baseline survey (1980-1995). RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 12.7 years, 2451 cardiovascular deaths were observed. Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios of cardiovascular mortality in treated participants compared with untreated participants were 1.30 [95% confidence intervals, 1.16-1.46) and 1.35 (95% confidence interval, 1.16-1.56) in young-old and old-old participants, respectively. Irrespective of antihypertensive medication, the risk increase of total cardiovascular and stroke mortality with elevation of BP was significant among young-old (P ≤ 0.0013), but not significant among old-old participants (P ≥ 0.061). CONCLUSION Although impact on BP was more evident among young-old than old-old individuals, clinicians who prescribe antihypertensive medication to elderly patients should consider that such patients require further monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of pregnant women present an increase in lipids. To investigate the influence of the non-fasting state in the lipid and lipoprotein profile in pregnancy, we have aimed to assess the dynamic change of serum lipid and lipoprotein profile with serum glucose in pregnancy to contrast the differences between fasting and non-fasting state. METHODS Forty-five pregnant women and 41 controls were included in our study. All serum samples were assayed for TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, ApoB, ApoA-1, Lp(a), sdLDL, and Glu concentrations. The comparison between pregnant women and controls (fasting and 2 h after breakfast), differences of these measurement results at three point-in-time, the associations between the concentrations of serum lipid and some maternal and fetus characteristics was conducted with statistical analysis. RESULTS Except Glu (p < 0.001), there were no significant differences of all lipids between three point-in-time in pregnant women (p > 0.1). The statistically higher levels were found in fasting TC (p = 0.003), TG (p = 0.019), LDL-C (p = 0.002), ApoB (p = 0.001), ApoA1 (p = 0.013) and sdLDL (p < 0.001) of pregnant women compared with controls. Besides, the statistically significances were also found in 2-h TC (p = 0.001), LDL-C (p = 0.001), ApoB (p < 0.001), Glu (p = 0.013), ApoA-1 (p = 0.009) and sdLDL (p < 0.001) of pregnant women compared with controls. Otherwise, in non-fasting status (2 h after breakfast), pregnancy complication was relevant to TC (p = 0.041), HDL-C (p = 0.014), Glu (p = 0.004). Delivery mode was relevant to TC (p = 0.012), HDL-C (p = 0.013), LDL-C (p = 0.026), ApoA-1 (p = 0.012), and sdLDL (p = 0.044). BMI was relevant to TG (p = 0.027). CONCLUSION We have suggested the non-fasting lipids detection can be used for estimate lipid metabolism in pregnant women.

Abstract
Fasting and postprandial hypertriglyceridemia is a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). Fibrates have been used to treat dyslipidemia, particularly hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C). However, conventional fibrates have low selectivity for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)α. Fibrates' clinical use causes side effects such as worsening liver function and elevating the creatinine level. Large-scale clinical trials of fibrates have shown negative results for prevention of ASCVD. To overcome these issues, the concept of the selective PPARα modulator (SPPARMα), with a superior balance of efficacy and safety, has been proposed. A SPPARMα, pemafibrate (K-877), was synthesized by Kowa Company, Ltd. for better efficacy and safety. Clinical trials conducted in Japan confirmed the superior effects of pemafibrate on triglyceride reduction and HDL-C elevation. Conventional fibrates showed elevated liver function test values and worsened kidney function test values, while pemafibrate demonstrated improved liver function test values and was less likely to increase serum creatinine or decrease the estimated glomerular filtration rate. There were extremely few drug interactions even when it was used concomitantly with various statins. Furthermore, unlike many of the conventional fibrates that are renal excretory-type drugs, pemafibrate is excreted into the bile, so it can be safely used even in patients with impaired renal function and there is no increase in its blood concentration. This novel SPPARMα, pemafibrate, has superior benefit-risk balance compared to conventional fibrates and can be used for patients for whom it was difficult to use existing fibrates, including those who are taking statins and those with renal dysfunction. A large-scale trial PROMINENT using pemafibrate for patients with type 2 diabetes is in progress. In the current review, the latest data on pemafibrate will be summarized.
