Eur J Med Res 2024; 29:237. [PMID: 38622622 PMCID: PMC11017557 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-024-01802-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic vascular diseases are a leading global cause of morbidity and mortality. Dyslipidemia, a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, remains poorly understood among adult cardiac patients in in the study area. This study aims to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and identify associated factors in this population. METHODS Hospital-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from May to August 2021. A total of 319 participants (153 cardiac cases, 166 healthy controls, aged ≥ 18) were included in the study. Socio-demographic, anthropometric, behavioral, and clinical data were collected using the WHO STEPS survey instrument through systematic sampling. Overnight fasting blood samples were obtained, and serum lipid profiles were analyzed using a COBAS 6000 analyzer. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 20.0, employing bivariable and multivariable logistic regression. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia, encompassing at least one lipid abnormality, was 80.3% among 256 participants. Among cardiac cases, the prevalence rates were as follows: 72.5% for low HDL-cholesterol, 12.4% for hypercholesterolemia, 9.8% for elevated LDL-cholesterol, and 30.1% for hypertriglyceridemia. In controls, corresponding rates were 69.9%, 9.6%, 7.2%, and 32.5%. Significant factors linked to low HDL- cholesterol were female gender (AOR: 2.8, 95% CI 1.7-4.7) and obesity (AOR: 2.8, 95% CI 1.1-7.5). Abdominal obesity was associated with hypercholesterolemia (AOR: 5.2, 95% CI 1.9-14.3) and elevated LDL-cholesterol (AOR: 5.1, 95% CI 1.6-15.8). High blood pressure, overweight, and abdominal obesity were significantly linked to hypertriglyceridemia (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Dyslipidemia was high among the study participants. Overweight, obesity, central adiposity, and high blood pressure were significantly associated with dyslipidemia in cardiac patients. This alarms the need for lipid profile assessment for patients periodically, with treatment follow-up to monitor any rising patterns and cardiovascular-related risks.

Abstract
CONTEXT A growing number of systematic reviews with meta-analyses have examined the effectiveness of time-restricted eating (TRE) in reducing weight and improving fasting blood glucose and lipid profiles. However, mixed results have been found, and its effectiveness remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE This umbrella review aimed to summarize systematic reviews that (1) examine the effects of TRE on weight loss, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in individuals with overweight and obesity; and (2) compare the effect sizes on these outcomes between conventional TRE and Ramadan fasting. DATA SOURCES A total of 11 databases were searched from inception until March 11, 2022. DATA EXTRACTION Two independent reviewers performed article selection, data extraction, and quality assessment. DATA ANALYSIS Seven systematic reviews with 30 unique meta-analyses involving 7231 participants from 184 primary studies were included. The quality of each review was evaluated as moderate (14.3%) or critically low (85.7%) according to the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews 2. The degree of overlap was rated as slight for all outcomes (corrected cover area = 1.04%-4.27%). Meta-analyses at the meta-data level suggest that TRE is beneficial for reducing weight (P = .006) and fasting blood glucose (P < .01). Meta-analyses at the primary study level suggest that the effect on LGL-C was significant (P = .03). Subgroup analyses revealed greater effects in lowering fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, and LDL-C from Ramadan fasting than from conventional TRE. The credibility of evidence was rated as suggestive (3.3%), weak (36.7%) or nonsignificant (60%) using a classification method. CONCLUSION TRE may complement usual care and reduce body weight and fasting blood glucose. Rigorous randomized controlled trials with long-term assessments in a wide range of populations are warranted. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO registration no. CRD42022325657.

Clinical Correlations of Lipid Profiles with the Age and Gender in the Coronary Artery Disease Patients: A Study of 3878 CAD Patients from India. Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets 2022; 22:440-452. [PMID: 35249509 DOI: 10.2174/1871530322666220304110306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2021] [Revised: 08/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are crucial cause of death and hospitalization all over the world including India. The CVDs including the coronary artery disease (CAD) are developed by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Hyperlipidemia is a traditional risk factor for CVD. AIM The aim of this study was to study the clinical correlations of lipid profiles with the age and gender in the Coronary Artery Disease Patients: Methods: In this study, we have investigated the effect of age and sex on in lipid profile in 3878 (1171 females and 2707 males) CAD patients from India. RESULTS The plasma TG was higher in males than in females regardless of the age. Results showed that CAD female patients had significantly increased HDL-C than their aged matched males. Moreover, the plasma TC and LDL-C were significantly higher in males than females until age 40 years. Then after the age of 40 years, TC and LDL-C become significantly higher in females than in males. In addition, we found that more than 85% of CAD cases were <55 years old, and about 30% of CAD cases had normal lipid profile. CONCLUSION We conclude that elderly females are at a greater risk for CAD than males. Moreover, there were no significant differences in CVDs causes between nonelderly and elderly females. In addition, a higher percentage of cases were premature CAD, and 30% of CAD may be caused by loci that are not related to lipid metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This is the first Egyptian nationwide study for derivation of reference intervals (RIs) for 34 major chemistry analytes. It was conducted as a part of the global initiative by the IFCC Committee on Reference Intervals and Decision Limits (C-RIDL) for establishing country-specific RIs based on a harmonized protocol. METHODS 691 apparently healthy volunteers aged ≥18 years were recruited from multiple regions in Egypt. Serum specimens were analyzed in two centers. The harmonization and standardization of test results were achieved by measuring value-assigned serum panel provided by C-RIDL. The RIs were calculated by parametric method. Sources of variation of reference values (RVs) were evaluated by multiple regression analysis. The need for partitioning by sex, age, and region was judged primarily by standard deviation ratio (SDR). RESULTS Gender-specific RIs were required for six analytes including total bilirubin (TBil), aspartate and alanine aminotransferase (AST, ALT). Seven analytes required age-partitioning including glucose and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Regional differences were observed between northern and southern Egypt for direct bilirubin, glucose, and high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) with all their RVs lower in southern Egypt. Compared with other collaborating countries, the features of Egyptian RVs were lower HDL-C and TBil and higher TG and C-reactive protein. In addition, BMI showed weak association with most of nutritional markers. These features were shared with two other Middle Eastern countries: Saudi Arabia and Turkey. CONCLUSION The standardized RIs established by this study can be used as common Egyptian RI, except for a few analytes that showed regional differences. Despite high prevalence of obesity among Egyptians, their RVs of nutritional markers are less sensitive to increased BMI, compared to other collaborating countries.

[PMID: 32290855 PMCID: PMC7158030 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-020-01248-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2019] [Accepted: 03/31/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Obesity has become global epidemic in the last three decades, whereas Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) still remains the most important cause of mortality in the world. The study was aimed at determining the pattern of lipid profile for the obese and CHD population in Pakistan. As obesity is a strong predisposing risk factor for CHD, we aimed to analyze the lipid parameters in both conditions and compare them with the healthy controls of the same ethnicity. Methods Blood samples were collected from one thousand individuals (500 with CHD, 250 with obesity, 250 healthy controls). The lipid profile (total Cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C and VLDL) was measured using commercially available kits. The pattern of dyslipidemia was then studied by comparing the results in both groups with controls as well as population cutoffs. The quantitative variables were checked for normality and log transformation was done for variables where appropriate. Analysis of variance and logistic regression were done to check the association of lipid parameters with obesity and CHD. Results The obese and CHD groups showed a dyslipidemic profile than the healthy controls. CHD group had a higher proportion of CHD in any of the first degree blood relatives (36.0% vs. 1.8%), a similar trend was observed in the obese group, where 63.9% cases had positive family history. Among cases, 50.7% had combined lipid abnormalities, i.e., the values of TC, LDL-C, TG and HDL-C, all were deranged. Whereas 49.52% had TC more than normal cut off (> 200 mg/dl), 51.6% had LDL-C > 100 mg/dl. Similarly, 80.4% of patients had TG levels more than upper normal range (> 150 mg/dl) and 64% had HDL values in moderate CHD risk group (< 50 mg/dl). The results show that Pakistani cases are hyperlipidemic for lipid traits except for HDL which is lowered. Patients with comorbidities also had lipid profiles deviated from the normal range. Conclusion The study provides information regarding the aberration of lipid profile in the metabolic disorders that can increase the predisposition to complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD), is one of the leading causes of death globally. CAD risk factors, such as smoking, dyslipidemia, and obesity, are mainly associated with increased oxidative stress. Heat Shock Protein-27 (HSP27) has a protective role in conditions of oxidative stress. The aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between HSP27 mRNA copy numbers in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMCs) and the degree of CAD progression. METHODS A total of 103 subjects aged 49-71 years were recruited; Patients with CAD were categorized into two groups: patients having <50% stenosis (Angio-) and ≥50% stenosis (Angio+). The mRNA copy numbers of HSP-27 in PBMCs, anthropometric-parameters, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and the fasted serum lipid profile were evaluated. RESULTS Angio+ patients had a significantly higher level of TC and LDL-C values compared with Angio- patients and the control group (p < 0.05). The HSP27 expression in PBMCs was significantly increased in Angio+ and Angio- subjects, compared to the control group. Moreover, there was a significant association between the FBG, TC, LDL-C and TG among the groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION It was shown that the increased expression of HSP27 in PBMCs of CAD patients is significantly correlated with CAD severity in Angio+ subjects, which can be used as an early prognostic biomarker, indicating the degree of overall oxidative stress in patients. In order to verify this statement, it is suggested to measure Pro-oxidant- Antioxidant Balance (PAB) test by the same design in subsequent studies.

Abstract
Ethanolic extract of leaves of Morus alba L. (M. alba), known as white mulberry, was orally administered (100 mg/kg b.wt) for 8 weeks to female Wistar rats that were fed a high-cholesterol diet (HCD), to investigate the potential of M. alba leaves in attenuation of obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and deficits in mood, cognitive as well as motor activity that are linked to the adipokines secretions of visceral adipose tissue. Results showed that M. alba diminished body weight gain, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, atherogenic (AI) & coronary artery indices (CRI), and ameliorated glucose level and insulin resistance index in rats on HCD, compared with untreated HCD rats. Moreover, M. alba administration significantly decreased serum leptin and resistin contents as well as their mRNA expression in visceral adipose tissue, but significantly increased serum adiponectin level, and its mRNA expression in visceral adipose tissue in rats fed on HCD, compared to those in untreated HCD group. Regarding behavioral alterations, M. alba attenuated motor deficit, declined memory, depression and anxiety-like behavior, as well in rats on HCD, compared to that noticed in untreated HCD rats. The current data showed that serum leptin and resistin showed a positive correlation with and body weight gain, triglycerides (TG), AI as well as CRI, but showed a negative correlation with exploration, declined memory, depression- and anxiety-like behavior. Conversely, serum adiponectin showed a negative correlation with and body weight gain, TG, AI as well as CRI, but showed a positive correlation with locomotor activity, exploration, declined memory, and depression- and anxiety-like behavior. In conclusion, M. alba leaves supplementation could attenuate adiposity, insulin resistance behavioral deficits via down-regulation of regulation of gene expression of leptin, resistin, but up-regulation of adiponectin gene expression in the visceral adipose tissue of rats fed a high-cholesterol diet.
