Abstract
In this study, we reported a rapid, sensitive, robust, and validated method for atenolol quantification in dried plasma spots (DPS) by liquid chromatography with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) using parallel reaction monitoring mode (PRM). Aliquots of 25 µL human plasma were placed onto Whatman 903 Cards and air-dried. Disks (3.2 mm internal diameter) were punched, and a 100 µL working internal standard solution was added to each sample and then incubated on a shaker for 15 min at 40 °C, followed by rapid centrifugation (10,000× g, 10 s). The supernatant was transferred into 300 µL vials for subsequent LC–HRMS analysis. After chromatographic separation, atenolol and the internal standard were quantified in positive-ion parallel reaction monitoring mode by detection of all target product ions at 10 ppm tolerances. The total time of the analysis was 5 min. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 5–1000 ng/mL with interday and intraday precision levels and biases of <14.4%, and recovery was 62.9–81.0%. The atenolol in DPS was stable for ≥30 days at 25 and 4 °C. This fully validated method is selective and suitable for atenolol quantitation in DPS using LC–HRMS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a condition associated with obesity that identifies individuals with increased cardiovascular risk. Gastric bypass improves several MS components, such as glucose, lipid metabolism and hypertension. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-limb gastric bypass on the remission of MS criteria associated with morbid obesity. METHODS Obese patients who met the "harmonized" criteria for MS (n = 153) that underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) with a long biliopancreatic limb were prospectively evaluated with regards to body weight, body mass index (BMI), percentage of excess BMI lost (% EBMIL), fasting glucose, blood pressure and lipid profile up to 36 months after surgery. RESULTS Before surgery, patients had a BMI of 44.3 ± 0.5 kg/m2; 66% were under anti-diabetic treatment; 78.4% were under anti-hypertensive treatment and 44.3% were under anti-dyslipidemic treatment. After a mean follow-up time of 2.4 ± 0.1 years, MS remission rates were 32.7% at 6 months, 69.7% at 12 months, 63.4% at 24 months, and 59.2% at 36 months; when only 32.9%, 43.4% and 15.8% of patients were still under anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive and anti-dyslipidemic treatment, respectively. The %EBMIL and BMI were the parameters that showed the highest accuracy to predict the MS remission at all-time points after the surgery. CONCLUSIONS Long limb gastric bypass in obese patients results in significant and sustained weight loss which predicts a high remission rate of MS and allows the discontinuation of drug therapy for several metabolic disturbances in most patients.

Development of an LC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of 55 compounds prescribed in combined cardiovascular therapy. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2010; 879:243-52. [PMID: 21190906 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2010.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2010] [Revised: 12/02/2010] [Accepted: 12/04/2010] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
This paper reports an LC-MS/MS method with positive electrospray ionization for the screening of commonly prescribed cardiovascular drugs in human plasma, including compounds with antihypertensive (57), antidiabetic (12), hypolipemiant (5), anticoagulant (2) and platelet anti-aggregation (2) effects. Sample treatment consisted of a simple protein precipitation with MeOH/0.1 M ZnSO₄ (4:1, v/v) solution after the addition of internal standard, followed by evaporation and reconstitution. Analytes separation was performed on a Polar-RP column (150 m x 2 mm, 4 μm) using a gradient elution of 15 min. The MS system was operated in MRM mode, monitoring one quantitation and one confirmation transition for each analyte. The recovery of the protein precipitation step ranged from 50 to 70% for most of the compounds, while some were considerably affected by matrix effects. Since several analytes fulfilled the linearity, accuracy and precision values required by the ICH guidelines, the method proved to be suitable for their quantitative analysis. The limits of quantitation varied from 0.38 to 9.1 μg/L and the limits of detection from 0.12 to 5.34 μg/L. The method showed to be suitable for the detection of plasma samples of patients under cardiovascular treatment with the studied drugs, and for 55 compounds reliable quantitative results could be obtained.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypercholesterolemia (HCHL) and hypertriglyceridemia (HTRG) have emerged as the most significant metabolic consequences of therapy with sirolimus. Lipid status can be exacerbated by a variety of factors in the posttransplant setting, including genetic factors. Apoliprotein E (Apo E) polymorphism is an established genetic risk factor for hyperlipidemia. We studied the association between Apo E gene polymorphisms and lipids after kidney transplantation in patients undergoing sirolimus treatment. METHODS We studied 98 kidney transplant patients (KTP) with stable renal allograft undergoing sirolimus treatment: 39 with HCHL and HTRG within 90 days postsirolimus treatment (PST) and 59 without hyperlipidemia PST. Apo E genotyping was performed using INNO-LiPA-ApoE. RESULTS The cholesterol and the triglyceride values between the groups were 323.3+/-71.6 vs. 180.9+/-31.2 mg/dL (P<0.001) and 318.9+/-97.2 vs. 159.7+/-38.7 mg/dL (P<0.001). There was a significant difference in the genotype distribution of the hyperlipidemia and normal groups (P=0.009) with the percentages in each group as follows: E2/2 and E3/2: 12.8 vs. 5.1%; E3/3: 69.2% vs. 86.4%; and E4/3 and E4/4: 18.0% vs. 8.5%. We observed a higher number of patients with the genotype E3/3 in the group without hyperlipidemia PST (P=0.039). E3/2 and E4/4 genotype frequencies were higher in patients with hyperlipidemia PST. LDL levels in the hyperlipidemia PST group was statistical significant higher (P<0.001) and we observed an association between Apo E allelic distribution and LDL (P=0.005). CONCLUSIONS Genetic factors, as Apo E genotypes, could allow the early identification of patients who are at a high risk for developing hyperlipidemia PST.

Abstract
Overproduction of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and stress system abnormalities are seen in psychiatric diseases such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and addiction. Investigations of CRH type 1 receptor (CRHR1) nonpeptide antagonists suggest therapeutic potential for treatment of these and other neuropsychiatric diseases. However, overproduction of CRH in the brain and on its periphery and disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis are also found in 'somatic' disorders. Some rare forms of Cushing's disease and related pituitary/adrenal disorders are obvious applications for CRHR1 antagonists. In addition, however, these antagonists may also be effective in treating more common somatic diseases. Patients with obesity and metabolic syndrome who often have subtle, but chronic hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal hyperactivity, which may reflect central dysregulation of CRH and consequently glucocorticoid hypersecretion, could possibly be treated by administration of CRHR1 antagonists. Hormonal, autonomic, and immune aberrations are also present in chronic inflammatory, autoimmune, and allergic diseases, with considerable evidence linking CRH with the observed abnormalities. Furthermore, autonomic dysregulation is a prominent feature of common gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and peptic ulcer disease. Patients with irritable bowel syndrome and other gastrointestinal disorders frequently develop altered pain perception and affective symptoms. CRH acts peripherally to modulate bowel activity both directly through the autonomic system and centrally by processing viscerosensory and visceromotor neural signals. This review presents clinical and preclinical evidence for the role of CRH in the pathophysiology of these disorders and for potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications of CRHR1 antagonists. Recognition of a dysfunctional stress system in these and other diseases will alter the understanding and treatment of 'psychosomatic' disorders.

Abstract
The number of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing at an alarming rate in western societies and has become a major health concern. During the past decade, studies using transgenic animals, gene transfer and pharmacological agents have yielded many data that have helped understand the molecular alterations characteristic of T2DM. This has opened the possibility for the development of potentially more-effective therapies, mainly focused on attenuating hepatic glucose production, enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion, enhancing the insulin signal transduction pathway, inhibiting lipolysis from the adipose tissue and promoting fatty acid oxidation.
