Abstract
BACKGROUND Mounting evidence revealed that an imbalance of Gut Microbiota (GM) leads to metabolic disorders. Synbiotics through regulation of GM composition can be an effective intervention in the management of metabolic diseases. This study aimed to investigate the effects of multi-species synbiotic supplementation on serum interleukin10 (IL-10) and fecal Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) in patients with dyslipidemia. METHODS In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, fifty-six adult men with dyslipidemia were randomly allocated to intervention and control groups and received either synbiotic or placebo powder twice a day for 12 weeks. Each synbiotic sachet contained 6 species of probiotic microorganisms with a total dose of 3 × 1010 Colony Forming Unit (CFU) and 5 gr inulin and Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) as prebiotics. Blood and stool samples were collected at the baseline and end of the study. Dietary intake, physical activity, anthropometric measurements, serum IL-10, and fecal SCFAs were assessed before and after the intervention. RESULT There were no significant differences between the baseline characteristics of patients in the two groups. Serum IL-10 was increased in the synbiotic group (p < 0.0001). Moreover, synbiotic supplementation increased fecal concentration of acetate (p < 0.0001), butyrate (p = 0.043), propionate (p < 0.0001), and valerate (p < 0.026). A significant positive correlation was observed between the changes in fecal butyrate level and serum IL-10 concentration in the control group (r = 0.48, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS A Twelve-week synbiotic supplementation increased fecal SCFAs and improved inflammation in adult men with dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Cordyceps sinensis (C. sinensis) and Gymnema inodorum (Lour.) Decne. (G. inodorum) have been widely used for treating various illnesses. The study focused on exploring the effects of C. sinensis extract (CSE), G. inodorum extract (GIE), using alone and combined (COM) on ameliorating glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and obesity in mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). The results revealed that the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and LDL-cholesterol (LDL) exhibited a significant decrease in all groups treated with CSE, GIE, and COM compared to the control (p < 0.05). Obviously, CSE plus GIE exhibited a synergistic effect on amelioration of OGTT, TC, TG, and LDL, which is also the first report. Furthermore, the extracts showed no toxicity in the mice's vital organs. These results suggest that CSE, GIE, and their combined could have the potential as complementary therapeutic approaches for managing hyperglycaemia and dyslipidemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The reported prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the general population is variable. It ranges between 8.6 and 42% according to the population studied and the imaging technique used. We aim to prospectively assess the prevalence and characteristics of PFO and interatrial septum (IAS) abnormalities as well as the related clinical manifestations in a sample of Egyptian population. RESULTS This study comprised 1000 patients who were referred for CT coronary angiography (CTCA). Mean age was 52.5 ± 10.9 years. The prevalence of PFO among the studied population was 16.3%; closed PFO (grade I) 44.2%, open PFO (grade II) 50.9%, and open PFO with jet (grade III) 4.9%. Anatomical high-risk PFO features-defined as the presence of at least 2 or more of the following (diameter ≥ 2 mm, length ≥ 10 mm, septal aneurysm "ASA", or redundant septum)-were found in 51.5% of PFOs' population. Other IAS abnormalities as redundant septum (8.6%), ASA (5.3%), Bachmann's bundle (4.5%), microaneurysm (2.6%), and atrial septal defect (ASD) (0.4%) were detected. There was a lower rate of coexistence of ASA with PFO (p = 0.031). Syncope was significantly higher in patients with PFO compared to those without PFO (6.7% vs. 1.6%, p = 0.001). Stroke, transient ischaemic attacks (TIA), and dizziness were similar in both groups. TIA, dizziness, and syncope were significantly higher in patients with IAS abnormalities including PFO compared to those without IAS abnormalities. Syncope was also significantly higher in PFO with high-risk anatomical features compared to those with non-high-risk PFO population (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION The prevalence of PFO in our study was approximately 16.3%, almost half of them showed anatomical high-risk features for stroke. Dizziness, syncope and TIA were significantly higher in patients with IAS abnormalities including PFO.

Abstract
Hypercholesterolemia raises the risk for cardiovascular complications and overall health. Hypercholesterolemia is common, affecting 10% of the general population of the US, and heritable. Most individuals with hypercholesterolemia have a polygenic predisposition to the condition. Previously we identified a quantitative trait locus, Tachol1, linked to hypercholesterolemia on mouse chromosome 1 (Chr1) in a cross between C57BL/6J (B6) and TALLYHO/JngJ (TH) mice, a polygenic model for human obesity, type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Subsequently, using congenic mice that carry a TH-derived genomic segment of Chr1 on a B6 background, we demonstrated that the distal segment of Chr1, where Tachol1 maps, is necessary to cause hypercholesterolemia, as well as diet-induced obesity. In this study, we generated overlapping subcongenic lines to the distal segment of congenic region and characterized subcongenic mice carrying the smallest TH region of Tachol1, ~ 16.2 Mb in size (B6.TH-Chr1-16.2 Mb). Both male and female B6.TH-Chr1-16.2 Mb mice showed a significantly increased plasma total cholesterol levels compared to B6 on both chow and high fat (HF) diet. B6.TH-Chr1-16.2 Mb mice also had greater fat mass than B6 on HF diet, without increasing food intake. The gene and protein expression levels of absent in melanoma 2 (Aim2) gene were significantly upregulated in B6.TH-Chr1-16.2 Mb mice compared to B6. In summary, we confirmed the effect of Tachol1 on hypercholesterolemia and diet-induced obesity using subcongenic analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are statements to assist practitioners and stakeholders in decisions about healthcare. Low methodological quality guidelines may prejudice decision-making and negatively affect clinical outcomes in non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases worsted by poor lipid management. We appraised the quality of CPGs on dyslipidemia management and synthesized the most updated pharmacological recommendations. METHODS A systematic review following international recommendations was performed. Searches to retrieve CPG on pharmacological treatments in adults with dyslipidaemia were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Trip databases. Eligible articles were assessed using AGREE II (methodological quality) and AGREE-REX (recommendation excellence) tools. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data. The most updated guidelines (published after 2019) had their recommendations qualitatively synthesized in an exploratory analysis. RESULTS Overall, 66 guidelines authored by professional societies (75%) and targeting clinicians as primary users were selected. The AGREE II domains Scope and Purpose (89%) and Clarity of Presentation (97%), and the AGREE-REX item Clinical Applicability (77.0%) obtained the highest values. Conversely, guidelines were methodologically poorly performed/documented (46%) and scarcely provided data on the implementability of practical recommendations (38%). Recommendations on pharmacological treatments are overall similar, with slight differences concerning the use of supplements and the availability of drugs. CONCLUSION High-quality dyslipidaemia CPG, especially outside North America and Europe, and strictly addressing evidence synthesis, appraisal, and recommendations are needed, especially to guide primary care decisions. CPG developers should consider stakeholders' values and preferences and adapt existing statements to individual populations and healthcare systems to ensure successful implementation interventions.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e31374. [PMID: 38813217 PMCID: PMC11133901 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
This study explored the frequency of lipid-lowering drug use in the thalassemia population and investigated the association of thalassemia, hemoglobinopathies, and serum 25(OH)D levels with lipid profile and red blood cell parameters. A combination of cross-sectional and community-based studies was conducted with 615 participants from the southern Thai population. Thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies were diagnosed using hemoglobin analysis and polymerase chain reaction-based methods to genotype globin genes. Biochemical parameters such as lipid profile, fasting blood sugar (FBS), and serum 25(OH)D levels were assessed using standard enzymatic methods and electrochemiluminescence immunoassays. Differences in the means of hematological and biochemical parameters between the thalassemia and non-thalassemia groups were compared and analyzed. A significantly lower frequency of lipid-lowering drug use was observed in the thalassemia group. Thalassemia, with clearly defined abnormalities in red blood cells, is associated with a 4.72-fold decreased risk of taking lipid-lowering drugs. Among thalassemia participants, the total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were significantly lower than those in non-thalassemia participants. The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in carriers of thalassemia and/or hemoglobinopathies in the southern Thai population was 53 % in females and 21 % in males. The highest lipid profile was observed in samples without thalassemia and hypovitaminosis D. The genetics of thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies with obviously abnormal red blood cells could explain the variable lipid levels, in addition to lipid metabolism-related genes and environmental factors. However, the effect of thalassemia on lipid levels in each population may differ according to its prevalence. A larger sample size is required to confirm this association, especially in countries with a high prevalence of thalassemia.

Abstract
Background Observational studies suggest an association between telomere length (TL) and blood lipid (BL) levels. Nevertheless, the causal connections between these two traits remain unclear. We aimed to elucidate whether genetically predicted TL is associated with BL levels via Mendelian randomization (MR) and vice versa. Methods We obtained genetic instruments associated with TL, triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA-1) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs). The causal relationships between TL and BL were investigated via bidirectional MR, multivariable MR and mediation analysis methods. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was employed as the principal methodology, complemented by several other estimators to enhance the robustness of the analysis. Results In the forward MR analyses, we identified significant positive correlation between genetically predicted TL and the levels of TG (β=0.04, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.01 to 0.06, p = 0.003). In the reverse MR analysis, TG (β=0.02, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.03, p = 0.004), LDL-C (β=0.03, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.04, p = 0.001) and ApoB (β=0.03, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.04, p = 9.71×10-5) were significantly positively associated with TL, although this relationship was not observed in the multivariate MR analysis. The mediation analysis via two-step MR showed no significant mediation effects acting through obesity-related phenotypes in analysis of TL with TG, while the effect of LDL-C on TL was partially mediated by body mass index (BMI) in the reverse direction, with mediated proportion of 12.83% (95% CI: 0.62% to 25.04%). Conclusions Our study indicated that longer TL were associated with higher TG levels, while conversely, higher TG, LDL-C, and ApoB levels predicted longer TL, with BMI partially mediating these effects. Our findings present valuable insights into the development of preventive strategies and interventions that specifically target TL-related aging and age-related diseases.

Abstract
Understanding the effects of psychosocial stress on serum cholesterol may offer valuable insights into the relationship between psychological disorders and endocrine diseases. However, these effects and their underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated yet. Here we show that serum corticosterone, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are elevated in a mouse model of psychosocial stress. Furthermore, alterations occur in AdipoR2-mediated AMPK and PPARα signaling pathways in liver, accompanied by a decrease in LDL-C clearance and an increase in cholesterol synthesis. These changes are further verified in wild-type and AdipoR2 overexpression HepG2 cells incubated with cortisol and AdipoR agonist, and are finally confirmed by treating wild-type and hepatic-specific AdipoR2 overexpression mice with corticosterone. We conclude that increased glucocorticoid mediates the effects of psychosocial stress to elevate serum cholesterol by inhibiting AdipoR2-mediated AMPK and PPARα signaling to decrease LDL-C clearance and increase cholesterol synthesis in liver.

Abstract
In healthcare, weight is often equated to and used as a marker for health. In examining nutrition and health status, there are many more effective markers independent of weight. In this article, we review practical and emerging clinical applications of technologies and tools used to collect non-weight-related data in nutrition assessment, monitoring, and evaluation in the outpatient setting. The aim is to provide clinicians with new ideas about various types of data to evaluate and track in nutrition care.

Abstract
LOX-1, ORL-1, or lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that binds and internalizes ox-LDL in foam cells. LOX-1 is the main receptor for oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL). The LDL comes from food intake and circulates through the bloodstream. LOX-1 belongs to scavenger receptors (SR), which are associated with various cardiovascular diseases. The most important and severe of these is the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the intimal layer of the endothelium. These plaques can evolve into complicated thrombi with the participation of fibroblasts, activated platelets, apoptotic muscle cells, and macrophages transformed into foam cells. This process causes changes in vascular endothelial homeostasis, leading to partial or total obstruction in the lumen of blood vessels. This obstruction can result in oxygen deprivation to the heart. Recently, LOX-1 has been involved in other pathologies, such as obesity and diabetes mellitus. However, the development of atherosclerosis has been the most relevant due to its relationship with cerebrovascular accidents and heart attacks. In this review, we will summarize findings related to the physiologic and pathophysiological processes of LOX-1 to support the detection, diagnosis, and prevention of those diseases.

Am J Med 2024:S0002-9343(24)00276-6. [PMID: 38729592 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjmed.2024.04.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefits of new glucose-lowering agents on cardiovascular disease have been demonstrated in randomized clinical trials. However, more evidence is required to assess the additive value of a combined therapy based on sodium-glucose transporter inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists (GLP1ra) in a real-world population. METHODS A nonconcurrent prospective study was conducted using integrated electronic medical records from primary care and hospitals obtained through "big data" technologies in a healthy area in Galicia. The study involved patients who were given SGLT2i, GLP1ra, or both treatments between January 2018 and June 2022 and were categorized as either mono- or combined therapy (SGLT2i, GLP1ra, or both). The cumulative risk for different events: hospitalization or mortality, or both, for 1) coronary artery disease, 2) heart failure, 3) cerebrovascular accident, and all-cause mortality were represented by Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression analysis to obtain the hazard ratio (HR) and (95% confidence interval [CI]). Validation was performed in a subpopulation with propensity score matching. RESULTS The patients (15,549) who were included were median (standard deviation) 68 (12) years old, with 41% of them being female and 46% experiencing obesity. The median (interquartile range) of follow-up was 19 (8-33) months. The Kaplan-Meier analysis determined that the cumulative risk for coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular accident events was similar among the 3 different therapy groups. However, the combined therapy vs SGLT2i reduced the risk of heart failure events (HR 0.69; 95% CI, 0.56-0.87) or all-cause mortality (HR 0.68; 95% CI, 0.54-0.86). Multivariate Cox regression analysis, after matching with a propensity score, confirmed the benefits of combined therapy regarding SGLT2i or GLP1ra monotherapy. CONCLUSION Compared with SGLT2i or GLP1ra alone, combined therapy SGLT2i + GLP1ra reduces heart failure risk and all-cause mortality in a real-world population.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the association between vitamin D deficiency and novel biomarkers of atherogenic dyslipidemia among young adults. METHOD A total of 976 young adults were recruited between 2011 and 2019. Their serum 25(OH)D levels were measured, and lipid profile markers, including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), low-density lipoprotein triglyceride (LDL-TG), and small-dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C), were assessed as novel biomarkers of atherogenic dyslipidemia. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyze the association between vitamin D levels and lipid profile markers. Odds ratios were calculated to assess the risk of atherogenic dyslipidemia in individuals with serum 25(OH)D levels below 30 ng/mL compared to those with levels above 30 ng/mL. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to explore potential mediation pathways. RESULTS The study found a significant association between vitamin D levels and lower levels of LDL-C, LDL-TG, sdLDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), triglycerides, and total cholesterol. Individuals with serum 25(OH)D levels below 30 ng/mL exhibited significantly higher odds ratios for developing atherogenic dyslipidemia in a dose-response pattern compared to those with vitamin D levels above 30 ng/mL. Notably, structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis revealed that vitamin D did not affect atherogenic lipid markers through the mediation of insulin resistance markers or high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence of an association between vitamin D deficiency and atherogenic dyslipidemia in young adults. It further highlights that individuals with serum 25(OH)D levels below 30 ng/mL are at a significantly higher risk of developing atherogenic dyslipidemia in a dose-response manner compared to those with higher vitamin D levels. These findings underscore the potential role of vitamin D in dyslipidemia management and emphasize the importance of maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels for cardiovascular health in young adults.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Genetic testing is increasingly becoming a common consideration in the clinical approach of dyslipidemia patients. Advances in research in last decade and increased recognition of genetics in biological pathways modulating blood lipid levels created a gap between theoretical knowledge and its applicability in clinical practice. Therefore, it is very important to define the clinical justification of genetic testing in dyslipidemia patients. RECENT FINDINGS Clinical indications for genetic testing for most dyslipidemias are not precisely defined and there are no clearly established guideline recommendations. In patients with severe low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, the genetic analysis can be used to guide diagnostic and therapeutic approach, while in severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), clinicians can rely on triglyceride level rather than a genotype along the treatment pathway. Genetic testing increases diagnostic accuracy and risk stratification, access and adherence to specialty therapies, and cost-effectiveness of cascade testing. A shared decision-making model between the provider and the patient is essential as patient values, preferences and clinical characteristics play a very strong role. SUMMARY Genetic testing for lipid disorders is currently underutilized in clinical practice. However, it should be selectively used, according to the type of dyslipidemia and when the benefits overcome costs.

Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2024; 86:2818-2827. [PMID: 38694324 PMCID: PMC11060207 DOI: 10.1097/ms9.0000000000001945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) persist as the leading cause of mortality globally, with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), including hypercholesterolaemia, being a significant contributor. Hyperlipidemia management includes various lipid-lowering drugs, including statins, Bempedoic acid, inclisiran, Lomitapide, ANGPTL3 inhibitors, and PCSK9 inhibitors. Statins have traditionally dominated lipid management therapies; however, a subset of patients remains unresponsive or intolerant to this therapy, necessitating novel therapeutic approaches. Tafolecimab, a promising and novel PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, demonstrated significant LDL-C reduction and a favourable safety profile in clinical trials. Objective This review aimed to discuss the role and efficacy of Tafolecimab in the management of hypercholesterolaemia. Methods The authors searched online databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Embase, for articles related to talofecimab. Discussion The efficacy of Tafolecimab in diverse patient populations, including those with comorbid conditions and various lipid disorders, has been explored. Ongoing trials, such as CREDIT-1, CREDIT-2, and CREDIT-4, have provided valuable insights into Tafolecimab's potential as a lipid-lowering agent. Moreover, the drug's extended dosing interval may enhance patient compliance and reduce treatment costs. It has also been found that Tafolecimab has more affinity for PCSK9 and a longer duration of LDL-C reduction than other monoclonal antibody drugs such as evolocumab. Thus, this review focuses on Tafolecimab, a novel PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, its mechanism of action, clinical trial outcomes, safety profile, and potential role in hypercholesterolaemia management. Despite its assuring potential, the long-term impact of Tafolecimab on cardiovascular outcomes remains to be fully elucidated, necessitating further research. Regulatory authorities like the FDA and EMA should also evaluate Tafolecimab's risks and benefits. Conclusion In conclusion, Tafolecimab shows potential as an innovative therapeutic option for hypercholesterolaemia, particularly in patients with specific risk factors, but warrants additional research.

Acute pancreatitis risk in multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome depends on the molecular cause of severe hypertriglyceridemia. Atherosclerosis 2024; 392:117489. [PMID: 38448342 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome (MCS) is a severe form of hypertriglyceridemia (hyperTG) associated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis (AP). Severe hyperTG is mainly polygenic in nature, either caused by the presence of heterozygous pathogenic variants (PVs) in TG-related metabolism genes or by accumulation of common variants in hyperTG susceptibility genes. This study aims to determine if the risk of AP is similar amongst MCS patients with different molecular causes of severe hyperTG. METHODS This study included 114 MCS patients who underwent genetic testing for PVs in TG-related metabolism genes and 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in hyperTG susceptibility genes. A weighted TG-polygenic risk score (TG-PRS) was calculated. A TG-PRS score ≥ 90th percentile was used to define a high TG-PRS. RESULTS Overall, 66.7% of patients had severe hyperTG of polygenic origin. MCS patients with only a PV and those with both a PV and high TG-PRS were more prone to have maximal TG concentration ≥ 40 mmol/L (OR 5.33 (1.55-18.36); p = 0.008 and OR 5.33 (1.28-22.25); p = 0.02), as well as higher prevalence of AP (OR 3.64 (0.89-14.92); p = 0.07 and OR 11.90 (2.54-55.85); p = 0.002) compared to MCS patients with high TG-PRS alone. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to show that MCS caused by a high TG-PRS and a PV is associated with higher risk of AP, similar to what is seen in the monogenic form of severe hyperTG. This suggests that determining the molecular cause of severe hyperTG could be useful to stratify the risk of pancreatitis in MCS.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:503.

Abstract
The NADPH oxidase NOX4 that releases H2O2 can mediate vasoprotective mechanisms under pathophysiological conditions in conductive arteries. However, the role of NOX4 in resistance arteries and in perivascular adipose tissue is not well understood. We hypothesized that NOX4 is of functional importance in resistance arteries and perivascular adipose tissue under dyslipidemia conditions. We detected elevated NOX4 expression in murine and human vessels under dyslipidemia. Diminishing Nox4 under these conditions led to endothelial dysfunction in resistance arteries. The mesenteric arteries of Nox4-/-/Ldlr-/- mice revealed decreased eNos mRNA expression. Inhibition of eNOS in those vessels did not affect vascular function, while in Ldlr-/- mice endothelial function was significantly altered. Anticontractile properties of perivascular adipose tissue at resistance arteries were diminished in Nox4-/-/Ldlr-/- compared with Ldlr-/- mice. In addition, the presence of perivascular adipose tissue further worsened endothelial dysfunction in mesenteric arteries under dyslipidemia conditions. Perivascular adipose tissue from mesenteric arteries revealed a higher expression of markers of white adipocytes compared to markers of beige/brown adipocytes. Among those white adipocyte markers, leptin was significantly less expressed in perivascular adipose tissue from Nox4-/-/Ldlr-/- mice compared with Ldlr-/- mice. Furthermore, in human perivascular adipose tissue with a profound pattern of white adipocyte marker genes, we detected a correlation of NOX4 and LEP expression. In addition, incubating arterial vessels with leptin induced nitrite release, indicating increased eNOS activity. In humans, a higher expression of leptin in perivascular adipose tissue correlated with eNOS expression in the corresponding left internal mammary artery. In conclusion, vascular function of resistance arteries was dependent on Nox4-derived H2O2, especially under dyslipidemia conditions. Perivascular adipose tissue of the mesenteric arteries with white adipose tissue characteristics further aggravated endothelial function through reduced leptin-eNOS signaling.

Abstract
PURPOSE Dyslipidemia plays a pivotal role in increasing cardiovascular risk. In clinical practice the misleading association between altered lipid profile and obesity is common, therefore genetically inherited dyslipidemias may not completely be addressed among patients with overweight. Thus, we aim to investigate the influence of overweight and obesity on the lipid phenotype in a cohort of patients with different forms of dyslipidemia. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with dyslipidemia from 2015 to 2022. Patients were stratified in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL), non-familial hyperlipidemia or polygenic hypercholesterolemia (PH). Clinical characteristics and lipid profile were evaluated. RESULTS Of the total of 798 patients, 361 were affected by non-familial hyperlipidemia (45.2%), while FCHL, FH and PH was described in 19.9%, 14.0% and 20.9% of patients, respectively. Overweight prevalence was higher in FCHL and non-familial hyperlipidemia patients than FH and PH patients. Subjects with overweight and obesity were independently associated with lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) compared to patients with normal weight (52.4 and 46.0 vs 58.1, respectively; p < 0.0001); levels of triglycerides (TG) and non-HDL-C were higher in patients with overweight and obesity than patients with normal weight (257.3 and 290.9 vs 194.8, and 221.5 and 219.6 vs 210.1, p < 0.0001 and p = 0.01, respectively), while no differences were observed between patients with overweight and obesity. CONCLUSION While dyslipidemias can be influenced by various factors, an important determinant may lie in genetics, frequently acting as an underlying cause of altered lipid profiles, even in cases of overweight conditions.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Laurus nobilis (L. nobilis) essential oil (EOs) (80 mg/kg) on Triton WR-1339-induced dyslipidemia in Wistar rats. The effect of L. nobilis essential oil (80 mg/kg) on lipid and lipoprotein profile was examined on Triton WR-1339-induced dyslipidemia in rats. Furthermore, the phytochemical evaluation was performed by GC-MS. In Addition, the acute toxicity of this EO was evaluated at a dose of 2 g/kg. The results revealed that the main constituents of L. nobilis EO were 1,8-cineole (39.5%), linalool (13.09%), and a-terpineol (11.55%). Furthermore, the EO did not cause any signs of toxicity or mortality, and the acute lethal dose 50 (LD50) was estimated to be higher than 2 g/kg. L. nobilis EO ameliorated lipid parameters and atherogenic indices. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that L. nobilis essential oils possess antidyslipidemic activity in acute model of hyperlipidaemia.

Berberine attenuates inflammation and oxidative stress and modulates lymphocyte E-NTPDase in acute hyperlipidemia. Drug Dev Res 2024; 85:e22166. [PMID: 38424708 DOI: 10.1002/ddr.22166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is a common clinically encountered health condition worldwide that promotes the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis. Berberine (BBR) is a natural product with acknowledged anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and metabolic effects. This study evaluated the effect of BBR on lipid alterations, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response in rats with acute hyperlipidemia induced by poloxamer-407 (P-407). Rats were pretreated with BBR (25 and 50 mg/kg) for 14 days and acute hyperlipidemia was induced by a single dose of P-407 (500 mg/kg). BBR ameliorated hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and plasma lipoproteins in P-407-adminsitered rats. Plasma lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity was decreased, and hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase activity was enhanced in hyperlipidemic rats. The expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) and ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1) was downregulated in hyperlipidemic rats. BBR enhanced LPL activity, upregulated LDL-R, and ABCA1, and suppressed HMG-CoA reductase in P-407-administered rats. Pretreatment with BBR ameliorated lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide (NO), pro-inflammatory mediators (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α, interferon-γ, IL-4 and IL-18) and enhanced antioxidants. In addition, BBR suppressed lymphocyte ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (E-NTPDase) and ecto-adenosine deaminase (E-ADA) as well as NO and TNF-α release by macrophages isolated from normal and hyperlipidemic rats. In silico investigations revealed the binding affinity of BBR toward LPL, HMG-CoA reductase, LDL-R, PSK9, ABCA1, and E-NTPDase. In conclusion, BBR effectively prevented acute hyperlipidemia and its associated inflammatory responses by modulating LPL, cholesterolgenesis, cytokine release, and lymphocyte E-NTPDase and E-ADA. Therefore, BBR is an effective and safe natural compound that might be employed as an adjuvant against hyperlipidemia and its associated inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW While biallelic rare APOA5 pathogenic loss-of-function (LOF) variants cause familial chylomicronemia syndrome, heterozygosity for such variants is associated with highly variable triglyceride phenotypes ranging from normal to severe hypertriglyceridemia, often in the same individual at different time points. Here we provide an updated overview of rare APOA5 variants in hypertriglyceridemia. RECENT FINDINGS Currently, most variants in APOA5 that are considered to be pathogenic according to guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics are those resulting in premature termination codons. There are minimal high quality functional data on the impact of most rare APOA5 missense variants; many are considered as variants of unknown or uncertain significance. Furthermore, particular common polymorphisms of APOA5 , such as p.Ser19Trp and p.Gly185Cys in Caucasian and Asian populations, respectively, are statistically overrepresented in hypertriglyceridemia cohorts and are sometimes misattributed as being causal for chylomicronemia, when they are merely risk alleles for hypertriglyceridemia. SUMMARY Both biallelic and monoallelic LOF variants in APOA5 are associated with severe hypertriglyceridemia, although the biochemical phenotype in the monoallelic state is highly variable and is often exacerbated by secondary factors. Currently, with few exceptions, the principal definitive mechanism for APOA5 pathogenicity is through premature truncation. The pathogenic mechanisms of most missense variants in APOA5 remain unclear and require additional functional experiments or family studies.

Abstract
This guideline is the first Iranian guideline developed for the diagnosis, management, and treatment of hyperlipidemia in adults. The members of the guideline developing group (GDG) selected 9 relevant clinical questions and provided recommendations or suggestions to answer them based on the latest scientific evidence. Recommendations include the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) threshold for starting drug treatment in adults lacking comorbidities was determined to be over 190 mg/dL and the triglyceride (TG) threshold had to be >500 mg/dl. In addition to perform fasting lipid profile tests at the beginning and continuation of treatment, while it was suggested to perform cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) risk assessment using valid Iranian models. Some recommendations were also provided on lifestyle modification as the first therapeutic intervention. Statins were recommended as the first line of drug treatment to reduce LDL-C, and if its level was high despite the maximum allowed or maximum tolerated drug treatment, combined treatment with ezetimibe, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors, or bile acid sequestrants was suggested. In adults with hypertriglyceridemia, pharmacotherapy with statin or fibrate was recommended. The target of drug therapy in adults with increased LDL-C without comorbidities and risk factors was considered an LDL-C level of <130 mg/dl, and in adults with increased TG without comorbidities and risk factors, TG levels of <200 mg/dl. In this guideline, specific recommendations and suggestions were provided for the subgroups of the general population, such as those with CVD, stroke, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, elderly, and women.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the association between serum ferritin and hypertension among American adults from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999 to 2018. A total of 16,125 participants were included. Weighted logistic regression and subgroup analyses were performed to explore the association. We found that serum ferritin was closely correlated to hypertension. Individuals with high serum ferritin were more likely to have higher systolic or diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) than those with lower serum ferritin. Restricted cubic spline showed a significant non-linear association between serum ferritin and SBP/DBP. Higher level of serum ferritin (Q3 74.1-147 μg/L and Q4 > 147 μg/L) was found to have positive association with high SBP [Q3 (OR: 1.246, 95% CI:1.020-1.523), Q4 (OR: 1.354, 95% CI:1.096-1.674)], and hypertension [Q3 (OR: 1.283, 95% CI:1.099-1.499), Q4 (OR: 1.424, 95% CI:1.197-1.63)] in the whole population. In people aged between 20 and 60, subjects with high serum ferritin were significantly associated with a higher risk of hypertension, but in those over 60, the relationship between serum ferritin level and hypertension is negative. A non-linear association between serum ferritin and SBP, as well as DBP, was discovered. There was age difference in association between serum ferritin and hypertension in American adults, and further researches were needed to understand the mechanisms behind the difference.

Abstract
Background: Dyslipidemia is one of the most common chronic diseases, and is associated with insulin resistance (IR) and inadequate vitamin K intake. We aimed to explore the association between IR, vitamin K intake, and dyslipidemia, and further to explore the mediating role of IR. Materials and methods: 12 860 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2001 to 2018 were included in this study. Insulin resistance was determined by using the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Weighted multiple logistic regression and mediation analyses were conducted to analyze the associations between IR, vitamin K intake, and dyslipidemia. Results: We found that both vitamin K intake-met Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) and non-IR were protective factors of high triglycerides (with ORs (95% CI) of 0.71 (0.57, 0.87) and 0.36 (0.29, 0.45), respectively) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (with ORs (95% CI) of 0.72 (0.62, 0.82) and 0.39 (0.34, 0.41), respectively). IR-related indicators (HOMA-IR and insulin) partly mediated these effects, and the proportion ranged from 16.36% to 18.52%. Conclusion: Vitamin K intake-met DRI and non-IR were associated with lower risk of dyslipidemia including high TG and low HDL-C. IR partly mediated the association of vitamin K intake with high TG and low HDL-C.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW An increasing amount of research has underscored the significant role of lipoproteins in the pathogenesis of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). This comprehensive review examines the intricate relationship between lipoprotein abnormalities and the development of MAFLD. RECENT FINDINGS Atherogenic dyslipidemia seen in insulin resistance states play a significant role in initiating and exacerbating hepatic lipid accumulation. There are also specific genetic factors (PNPLA3, TM6SF2, MBOAT7, HSD17B13, GCKR-P446L) and transcription factors (SREBP-2, FXR, and LXR9) that increase susceptibility to both lipoprotein disorders and MAFLD. Most monogenic primary lipid disorders do not cause hepatic steatosis unless accompanied by metabolic stress. Hepatic steatosis occurs in the presence of secondary systemic metabolic stress in conjunction with predisposing environmental factors that lead to insulin resistance. Identifying specific aberrant lipoprotein metabolic factors promoting hepatic fat accumulation and subsequently exacerbating steatohepatitis will shed light on potential targets for therapeutic interventions. SUMMARY The clinical implications of interconnection between genetic factors and an insulin resistant environment that predisposes MAFLD is many fold. Potential therapeutic strategies in preventing or mitigating MAFLD progression include lifestyle modifications, pharmacological interventions, and emerging therapies targeting aberrant lipoprotein metabolism.

Abstract
The study aimed to identify the biomarkers for predicting coronary atherosclerotic lesions progression in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Related transcriptome datasets were seized from Gene Expression Omnibus database. IBD-related modules were identified via Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis. The 'Limma' was applied to screen differentially expressed genes between stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Subsequently, we employed protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and three machine-learning strategies to further screen for candidate hub genes. Application of the receiver operating characteristics curve to quantitatively evaluate candidates to determine key diagnostic biomarkers, followed by a nomogram construction. Ultimately, we performed immune landscape analysis, single-gene GSEA and prediction of target-drugs. 3227 IBD-related module genes and 570 DEGs accounting for AMI were recognized. Intersection yielded 85 shared genes and mostly enriched in immune and inflammatory pathways. After filtering through PPI network and multi-machine learning algorithms, five candidate genes generated. Upon validation, CTSD, CEBPD, CYP27A1 were identified as key diagnostic biomarkers with a superior sensitivity and specificity (AUC > 0.8). Furthermore, all three genes were negatively correlated with CD4+ T cells and positively correlated with neutrophils. Single-gene GSEA highlighted the importance of pathogen invasion, metabolism, immune and inflammation responses during the pathogenesis of AMI. Ten target-drugs were predicted. The discovery of three peripheral blood biomarkers capable of predicting the risk of CAD proceeding into AMI in IBD patients. These identified biomarkers were negatively correlated with CD4+ T cells and positively correlated with neutrophils, indicating a latent therapeutic target.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multiple systematic reviews (SR) have been performed on the effects of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors (PCSK9i), often providing conflicting findings. This overview and network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to summarize SR findings on the efficacy and safety of PCSK9i and provide an updated NMA. MATERIALS AND METHODS MEDLINE (Pubmed), Scopus, Cochrane, Epistemonikos and Google Scholar were searched from inception to September 21, 2023 for SRs of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and from January 1, 2020 to September 21, 2023 for additional RCTs. Double-independent study selection, data extraction and quality assessment were performed. Qualitative analysis was performed for SRs and a frequentist random-effects model NMA was performed for RCTs. RESULTS Totally, 86 SRs and 76 RCTs were included. Alirocumab (77/86 [90%]) and evolocumab (73/86 [85%]) were mostly analyzed. Associations from SRs (35/42 [83%]) and the updated NMA indicated PCSK9i benefit on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Reductions were also noted for cerebrovascular events (47/66 [71%]), coronary revascularization (29/33 [88%]) and myocardial infarction (41/63 [65%]). Alirocumab was associated with reductions on all-cause mortality (RR=0.82, 95%CI [0.72,0.94]). Data on any CV event reduction were conflicting (7/16 [44%]). Inclisiran appeared effective only on MACEs (RR=0.76, 95%CI [0.61,0.94]). No reductions in heart failure were observed (0/16). No increases were identified between PCSK9i and any (0/35) or serious adverse events (0/52). However, PCSK9i were associated with injection-site reactions (20/28 [71%]). CONCLUSION PCSK9i appeared to be effective in CV outcomes and their clinical application was generally safe.

Abstract
Angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTLs) -3, -4, and -8 are regulators of lipid metabolism and have been shown to respond to changes in dietary fats. It is unknown how ANGPTLs respond to cottonseed oil (CSO) and olive oil (OO) consumption in a population with hypercholesterolemia. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of CSO vs. OO consumption on fasting and postprandial ANGPTL responses in adults with hypercholesterolemia. We hypothesized that CSO would have lower fasting and postprandial ANGPTL responses compared with OO. Forty-two adults with high cholesterol completed a single-blind, randomized trial comparing CSO (n = 21) vs. OO (n = 21) diet enrichment. An 8-week partial outpatient feeding intervention provided ∼60% of the volunteers' total energy expenditure (∼30% of total energy expenditure as CSO or OO). The remaining 40% was not controlled. Fasting blood draws were taken at pre-, mid-, and postintervention visits. Volunteers consumed a high saturated fat meal followed by 5 hours of blood draws pre- and postvisits. Fasting ANGPTL3 had a marginally significant treatment by visit interaction (P = .06) showing an increase from pre- to postintervention in CSO vs. OO (CSO: 385.1 ± 27.7 to 440.3 ± 33.9 ng/mL; OO: 468.2 ± 38.3 to 449.2 ± 49.5 ng/mL). Both postprandial ANGPTL3 (P = .02) and ANGPTL4 (P < .01) had treatment by visit interactions suggesting increases from pre- to postintervention in OO vs. CSO with no differences between groups in ANGPTL8. These data show a worsening (increase) of postprandial ANGPTLs after the OO, but not CSO, intervention. This aligns with previously reported data in which postprandial triglycerides were protected from increases compared with OO. ANGPTLs may mediate protective effects of CSO consumption on lipid control. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04397055).

Changes in Macronutrients during Dieting Lead to Weight Cycling and Metabolic Complications in Mouse Model. Nutrients 2024; 16:646. [PMID: 38474774 DOI: 10.3390/nu16050646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Weight cycling is a major challenge in obesity management. Caloric restriction is known to promote this phenomenon, but the impact of macronutrient changes during dieting remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the role of macronutrient changes in weight maintenance without caloric restriction by alternating between two hypercaloric diets: a high-carbohydrate, high-fat Western diet (WD) and a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet (LCHDF). Obesity was induced in 8-week-old C57BL/6 male mice by 10 weeks of WD feeding. Then, the mice were subjected to 12 weeks of LCHFD interspersed with WD (I-WD), 3 periods of 2-week LCHFD followed by 2 periods of 3-week WD, or 12 weeks of continuous WD (C-WD). C-WD and I-WD mice were compared to standard diet (SD) mice. In the I-WD group, each LCHFD period decreased weight gain, but mice regained weight after WD resumption. I-WD mice exhibited obesity, dyslipidemia, and glucose intolerance, similarly to the C-WD mice. I-WD mice also developed nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, associated with an increase in type-III collagen gene expression and a decrease in FGF21 protein levels, in comparison with SD. I-WD mice developed weight cycling despite maintaining a high caloric consumption, suggesting that changes in macronutrients during dieting are also a trigger of weight regain.

Abstract
Obesity-related metabolic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases pose a significant threat to health. However, comprehensive pathogenesis exploration and effective therapy development are impeded by the limited availability of human models. Notably, advances in organoid technology enable the generation of adipose organoids that recapitulate structures and functions of native human adipose tissues to investigate mechanisms and develop corresponding treatments for obesity-related metabolic diseases. Here, we review the general principles, sources, and three-dimensional techniques for engineering adipose organoids, along with strategies to promote maturation. We also outline the application of white adipose organoids, primarily for disease modeling and drug screening, and highlight the therapeutic potential of thermogenic beige and brown adipose organoids in promoting weight loss and glucose and lipid metabolic homeostasis. We also discuss the challenges and prospects in the establishment and bench-to-bedside of adipose organoids, as well as their potential applications.

Joint association of physical activity and diet quality with dyslipidemia: a cross-sectional study in Western China. Lipids Health Dis 2024; 23:46. [PMID: 38341553 PMCID: PMC10858468 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-024-02030-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and assess the joint association of physical activity (PA) and diet quality on dyslipidemia risk in urban areas of Xinjiang. METHODS Conducted from July 2019 to September 2021 in Xinjiang, China, this cross-sectional study involved 11,855 participants (mean age 47.1 ± 9.4 years, 53.1% male). Standard methods were used to measure plasma cholesterol levels, and validated questionnaires were employed to evaluate dietary habits and PA. The definition of dyslipidemia is based on 2023 Chinese guidelines for lipid management. PA was divided into guideline-recommended moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and non-MVPA, following World Health Organization guidelines. The Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to obtain the intake frequency of each dietary term. Each item was scored based on consumption frequency and divided into three groups (good, intermediate, and poor) based on total dietary score. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify dyslipidemia risk factors, as well as the joint association of PA and diet quality. RESULTS Dyslipidemia prevalence among urban adults in Xinjiang was 39.3%, with notable sex disparities (52.6% in males vs. 24.3% in females, P < 0.001). Among participants with dyslipidemia, the awareness, treatment and control rates were 6.9%, 3.1%, and 1.9%, respectively. A significant multiplicative interaction between PA and diet quality is associated with dyslipidemia (P for interaction < 0.05). Less PA and poor diet quality were associated with an increased odds of dyslipidemia. Even individuals with poor (OR = 1.464, 95% CI: 1.106-1.939) or intermediate (OR = 1.229, 95% CI: 1.003-1.505) diet quality but adhering to recommended MVPA had lower odds of dyslipidemia compared to those with good diet quality but inadequate MVPA (OR = 1.510, 95% CI: 1.252-1.821). CONCLUSIONS Dyslipidemia prevalence was 39.3% in urban adults in Xinjiang, with limited awareness, treatment, and control. Following guideline-recommended MVPA and maintaining good diet quality were protective against dyslipidemia. Low levels of PA associated with a higher prevalence of dyslipidemia, even in individuals with good diet quality.

Abstract
Dyslipidaemia is a modifiable risk factor commonly associated with diabetes mellitus and prediabetes, with a major impact on the early development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Various studies have tried to identify the key treatment targets, their optimal values according to patients' CV risk, and the most efficient yet safe therapeutic agents which, alongside lifestyle changes, would improve lipid levels and reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Currently, there are multiple pharmacologic options that can be used in the management of dyslipidaemia, such as statins, ezetimibe, bempedoic acid, PCSK9 inhibitors, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids or fibrates, to name only a few, while many other are under development. In the current setting of a continuously increasing population of patients with metabolic disorders, this review aims to summarise current knowledge regarding lipid disorders and the recommendations of recent guidelines in treating dyslipidaemia in patients with diabetes mellitus or prediabetes.

Abstract
Inappropriate lipid levels in the blood, as well as its content and composition in different organs, underlie multiple metabolic disorders including obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis. Multiple processes contribute to the complex metabolism of triglycerides (TGs), fatty acids (FAs), and other lipid species. These consist of digestion and absorption of dietary lipids, de novo FAs synthesis (lipogenesis), uptake of TGs and FAs by peripheral tissues, TGs storage in the intracellular depots as well as lipid utilization for β-oxidation and their conversion to lipid-derivatives. A majority of the enzymatic reactions linked to lipogenesis, TGs synthesis, lipid absorption, and transport are happening at the endoplasmic reticulum, while β-oxidation takes place in mitochondria and peroxisomes. The Golgi apparatus is a central sorting, protein- and lipid-modifying organelle and hence is involved in lipid metabolism as well. However, the impact of the processes taking part in the Golgi apparatus are often overseen. The protein kinase D (PKD) family (composed of three members, PKD1, 2, and 3) is the master regulator of Golgi dynamics. PKDs are also a sensor of different lipid species in distinct cellular compartments. In this review, we discuss the roles of PKD family members in the regulation of lipid metabolism including the processes executed by PKDs at the Golgi apparatus. We also discuss the role of PKDs-dependent signaling in different cellular compartments and organs in the context of the development of metabolic disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum lipid levels are associated with cancer risk. However, there still have uncertainties about the single and combined effects of low lipid levels on cancer risk. METHODS A prospective cohort study of 33,773 adults in Shanghai between 2016 and 2017 was conducted. Total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were measured. Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association of single and combined lipids with overall, lung, colon, rectal, thyroid gland, stomach, and female breast cancers. The effect of the combination of abnormal lipid score and lifestyle on cancer was also estimated. RESULTS A total of 926 incident cancer cases were identified. In the RCS analysis, hazard ratios (HRs) of overall cancer for individuals with TC < 5.18 mmol/L or with LDL-C < 3.40 mmol/L were higher. Low TC was associated with higher colorectal cancer risk (HR [95% CI] = 1.76 [1.09-2.84]) and low HDL-C increased thyroid cancer risk by 90%. Abnormal lipid score was linearly and positively associated with cancer risk, and smokers with high abnormal lipid scores had a higher cancer risk, compared to non-smokers with low abnormal lipid scores (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Low TC levels were associated with an increased risk of overall and colorectal cancer. More attention should be paid to participants with high abnormal lipid scores and unhealthy lifestyles who may have a higher risk of developing cancer. Determining the specific and comprehensive lipid combinations that affect tumorigenesis remains a valuable challenge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies demonstrated the associations of cadmium (Cd) with lipid levels and dyslipidemia risk, but the mechanisms involved need further exploration. OBJECTIVES We aimed to explore the role of DNA methylation (DNAM) in the relationship of Cd with lipid levels and dyslipidemia risk. METHODS Urinary cadmium levels (UCd) were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL), total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein were measured with kits, and DNAM was measured using the Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip. Robust linear regressions were conducted for epigenome-wide association study. Multivariate linear and logistic regressions were performed to explore the associations of UCd with lipid levels and dyslipidemia risk, respectively. Mediation analyses were conducted to explore potential mediating role of DNAM in the associations of Cd with lipid levels and dyslipidemia risk. RESULTS UCd was negatively associated with HDL levels (p = 0.01) and positively associated with dyslipidemia (p < 0.01). There were 92/11 DMPs/DMRs (FDR<0.05) associated with UCd. Cd-associated DNAM and pathways were connected with cardiometabolic diseases and immunity. Cg07829377 (LINC01060) mediated 42.05%/22.88% of the UCd-HDL/UCd-dyslipidemia associations (p = 0.02 and 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Cadmium caused site-specific DNAM alterations and the associations of UCd with lipid levels and dyslipidemia risk may be partially mediated by DNAM.

Nutrients 2024; 16:329. [PMID: 38276567 PMCID: PMC10820388 DOI: 10.3390/nu16020329] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common noncommunicable disease. In the United States alone, 37 million Americans had diabetes in 2017. The adzuki bean (Vigna angularis), a legume, has been reported to possess antidiabetic benefits. However, the extent and specific mechanisms through which adzuki bean consumption may contribute to T2D prevention and management remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of this narrative review is to analyze current evidence supporting the utilization of adzuki beans in the diet as a strategy for preventing and managing T2D. Animal studies have demonstrated a positive impact of adzuki beans on managing T2D. However, supporting data from humans are limited. Conversely, the potential of adzuki bean consumption in preventing T2D via modulating two T2D risk factors (obesity and dyslipidemia) also lacks conclusive evidence. Animal studies have suggested an inconsistent and even contradictory relationship between adzuki bean consumption and the management of obesity and dyslipidemia, in which both positive and negative relationships are reported. In sum, based on the existing scientific literature, this review found that the effects of adzuki bean consumption on preventing and managing T2D in humans remain undetermined. Consequently, human randomized controlled trials are needed to elucidate the potential benefits of the adzuki bean and its bioactive components in the prevention and management of T2D.

Nutr Cancer 2024; 76:175-186.

Abstract
Observational and Mendelian randomization (MR) studies have established links between dyslipidemia and select cancer susceptibilities. However, there is a lack of comprehensive exploration of causal relationships spanning diverse cancer types. Here, we conducted a two-sample MR analysis to elucidate the causative connections between 9 blood lipid metabolic profiles (namely, adiponectin, leptin, lipoprotein A, apolipoprotein A1, apolipoprotein B, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol) and 21 site-specific cancer risks. Our findings reveal genetically predicted adiponectin levels to be associated with a reduced ovarian cancer risk, while genetically determined leptin increases bladder cancer risk but decreases prostate cancer risk. Lipoprotein A elevates risk of prostate cancer while diminishing risk of endometrial cancer, while apolipoprotein A1 heightens risks of breast and cervical cancers. Furthermore, elevated levels of cholesterol are positively correlated with kidney cancer, and triglycerides demonstrate a positive association with non-melanoma skin cancer but a negative association with breast cancer. Protective effects of genetically predicted LDL-cholesterol on endometrial cancer and adverse effects of HDL-cholesterol on breast cancer are also observed. Our study conclusively establishes that blood lipid metabolic profiles exert causal effects on cancer susceptibility, providing more robust evidence for cancer prevention and prompting contemplation regarding the future health of the human populace.

Abstract
Oxidative stress increases the risk for clinically significant thrombotic events, yet the mechanisms by which oxidants become prothrombotic are unclear. In this review, we provide an overview of cysteine reactivity and oxidation. We then highlight recent findings on cysteine oxidation events in oxidative stress-related thrombosis. Special emphasis is on the signaling pathway induced by a platelet membrane protein, CD36, in dyslipidemia, and by protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a member of the thiol oxidoreductase family of proteins. Antioxidative and chemical biology approaches to target cysteine are discussed. Lastly, the knowledge gaps in the field are highlighted as they relate to understanding how oxidative cysteine modification might be targeted to limit thrombosis.

Abstract
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are genomic regions consisting of repeated sequences of 1-6 bp in succession. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based genome-wide association studies (GWASs) do not fully capture STR effects. To study these effects, we imputed 445,720 STRs into genotype arrays from 408,153 White British UK Biobank participants and tested for association with 44 blood phenotypes. Using two fine-mapping methods, we identify 119 candidate causal STR-trait associations and estimate that STRs account for 5.2%-7.6% of causal variants identifiable from GWASs for these traits. These are among the strongest associations for multiple phenotypes, including a coding CTG repeat associated with apolipoprotein B levels, a promoter CGG repeat with platelet traits, and an intronic poly(A) repeat with mean platelet volume. Our study suggests that STRs make widespread contributions to complex traits, provides stringently selected candidate causal STRs, and demonstrates the need to consider a more complete view of genetic variation in GWASs.

Abstract
Objective Diabetes prevalence has been predicted to reach 578 million worldwide in 2030 and is estimated to increase by 51% (700 million) in 2045. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is frequently associated with various cardiovascular (CV) risk factors secondary to associated dyslipidemias and good glycemic control is key for the prevention of long-term CV complications; this study was conducted to assess present glycemic status and lipid profile of the population residing in a rural tribal locality of Jharkhand (India). Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted as a project for Fellowship in diabetes course by the Department of Endocrinology, DEDU, CMC Vellore. Whole blood and sera were analyzed for fasting blood sugar (FBS), glycated-hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (CH), triglycerides (TGs), high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and very-low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-C). A correlation test of HbA1c with lipid ratios and individual lipid indexes was done. Results The mean Hb1Ac level was uncontrolled as 7.24 ± 1.80 and, interestingly, was marginally higher [7.31 ± 1.92 Vs 6.92 ± 1.16] in patients with T2DM <5 years as compared to those with T2DM >5 years. Mixed dyslipidemias were common with abnormal TG, LDL, VLDL, HDL, and total CH values. Hb1Ac levels showed a significant positive correlation with serum CH, TG, LDL, and VLDL levels, while a significant negative correlation with HDL levels in the study. Conclusion Apart from being a reliable indicator of long-term glycemic control, HbA1c can also be used as a surrogate marker of dyslipidemia, and thus early diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemia can prevent life-threatening cardiovascular complications that can be particularly useful in resource-poor rural tribal locality settings.

Abstract
Childhood dyslipidaemia is associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood, so evaluating whether an individual has a genetic predisposition to this pathology is of great importance for early action of prevention and treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the FTO (rs9939609), MC4R (rs17782313) and MTMR9 (rs2293855) polymorphisms, the obesity-related genetic risk score and atherogenic risk in Brazilian children. This is a cross-sectional study conducted in 544 children aged 4-9 years in the city of Viçosa, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The single nucleotide polymorphisms rs9939609, rs17782313 and rs2293855, were identified by the system TaqMan SNP genotyping and the obesity-related genetic risk score was determined. The lipid profile (serum total cholesterol [TC], high density lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol, low density lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol, triglycerides) was analysed and the atherogenic indices (Castelli I and II indices), atherogenic coefficient (AC), lipoprotein combined index (LCI) and plasma atherogenic index (PAI) were calculated. A semi-structured questionnaire was applied, obtaining data on the sociodemographic, economic and lifestyle characteristics of the children. Weight and height measurements were performed in all children, and body composition was evaluated by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). 55.5% of the sample had dyslipidaemia, while 28.5% of the sample had at least one polymorphism and 2.2% had three polymorphisms. Children with the AG/AA genotypes in the rs2293855 polymorphism had lower HDL cholesterol levels and higher TC/HDL cholesterol, LDL/HDL cholesterol ratios and AC. Those with one or more polymorphisms (rs9939609, rs17782313 and rs2293855) in the genetic risk score had lower HDL cholesterol levels and higher TC/HDL cholesterol ratios, AC, LCI and PAI. In conclusion, the risk allele of the rs2293855 polymorphism and a higher obesity-related genetic risk score were positively associated with higher atherogenic risk in Brazilian children.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The role of the inhibition of ANGPTL3 in severe or refractory hypercholesterolemia is well documented, less in severe hyperTG. This review focuses on the preclinical and clinical development of ApoC-III inhibitors and ANGPTL3, 4, and 3/8 complex inhibitors for the treatment of severe or refractory forms of hypertriglyceridemia to prevent cardiovascular disease or other morbidities. RECENT FINDINGS APOC3 and ANGPTL3 became targets for drug development following the identification of naturally occurring loss of function variants in families with a favorable lipid profile and low cardiovascular risk. The inhibition of ANGPTL3 covers a broad spectrum of lipid disorders from severe hypercholesterolemia to severe hypertriglyceridemia, while the inhibition of ApoC-III can treat hypertriglyceridemia regardless of the severity. Preclinical and clinical data suggest that ApoC-III inhibitors, ANGPTL3 inhibitors, and inhibitors of the ANGPTL3/8 complex that is formed postprandially are highly effective for the treatment of severe or refractory hypertriglyceridemia. Inhibition of ANGPTL3 or the ANGPTL3/8 complex upregulates LPL and facilitates the hydrolysis and clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) (LPL-dependent mechanisms), whereas ApoC-III inhibitors contribute to the management and clearance of TRL through both LPL-dependent and LPL-independent mechanisms making it possible to successfully lower TG in subjects completely lacking LPL (familial chylomicronemia syndrome). Most of these agents are biologicals including monoclonal antibodies (mAb), antisense nucleotides (ASO), small interfering RNA (siRNA), or CRISPR-cas gene editing strategies.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS This study explored the hypothesis that significant abnormalities in the metabolism of intestinally derived lipoproteins are present in individuals with type 2 diabetes on statin therapy. These abnormalities may contribute to residual CVD risk. METHODS To investigate the kinetics of ApoB-48- and ApoB-100-containing lipoproteins, we performed a secondary analysis of 11 overweight/obese individuals with type 2 diabetes who were treated with lifestyle counselling and on a stable dose of metformin who were from an earlier clinical study, and compared these with 11 control participants frequency-matched for age, BMI and sex. Participants in both groups were on a similar statin regimen during the study. Stable isotope tracers were used to determine the kinetics of the following in response to a standard fat-rich meal: (1) apolipoprotein (Apo)B-48 in chylomicrons and VLDL; (2) ApoB-100 in VLDL, intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) and LDL; and (3) triglyceride (TG) in VLDL. RESULTS The fasting lipid profile did not differ significantly between the two groups. Compared with control participants, in individuals with type 2 diabetes, chylomicron TG and ApoB-48 levels exhibited an approximately twofold higher response to the fat-rich meal, and a twofold higher increment was observed in ApoB-48 particles in the VLDL1 and VLDL2 density ranges (all p < 0.05). Again comparing control participants with individuals with type 2 diabetes, in the latter, total ApoB-48 production was 25% higher (556 ± 57 vs 446 ± 57 mg/day; p < 0.001), conversion (fractional transfer rate) of chylomicrons to VLDL was around 40% lower (35 ± 25 vs 82 ± 58 pools/day; p=0.034) and direct clearance of chylomicrons was 5.6-fold higher (5.6 ± 2.2 vs 1.0 ± 1.8 pools/day; p < 0.001). During the postprandial period, ApoB-48 particles accounted for a higher proportion of total VLDL in individuals with type 2 diabetes (44%) compared with control participants (25%), and these ApoB-48 VLDL particles exhibited a fivefold longer residence time in the circulation (p < 0.01). No between-group differences were seen in the kinetics of ApoB-100 and TG in VLDL, or in LDL ApoB-100 production, pool size and clearance rate. As compared with control participants, the IDL ApoB-100 pool in individuals with type 2 diabetes was higher due to increased conversion from VLDL2. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Abnormalities in the metabolism of intestinally derived ApoB-48-containing lipoproteins in individuals with type 2 diabetes on statins may help to explain the residual risk of CVD and may be suitable targets for interventions.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) which consist of ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, and several other cardiac and vascular conditions are one of the most common causes of death worldwide and often co-occur with diabetes mellitus and lipid disorders which worsens the prognosis and becomes a therapeutic challenge. Due to the increasing number of patients with CVDs, we need to search for new risk factors and pathophysiological changes to create new strategies for preventing, diagnosing, and treating not only CVDs but also comorbidities like diabetes mellitus and lipid disorders. As increasing amount of patients suffering from CVDs, there are many therapies which focus on new molecular targets like proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), angiopoietin-like protein 3, ATP-citrate lyase, or new technologies such as siRNA in treatment of dyslipidemia or sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 and glucagon-like peptide-1 in treatment of diabetes mellitus. Both SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists are used in the treatment of diabetes, however, they proved to have a beneficial effect in CVDs as well. Moreover, a significant amount of evidence has shown that exosomes seem to be associated with myocardial ischaemia and that exosome levels correlate with the severity of myocardial injury. In our work, we would like to focus on the above mechanisms. The knowledge of them allows for the appearance of new strategies of treatment among patients with CVDs.

Abstract
AIM To assess the retinal thickness and fundus blood flow density changes in chest pain patients with dyslipidemia using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). METHODS All subjects with chest pain as the main symptom accepted a comprehensive ophthalmological examination. According to the serum lipid levels, the participants were divided into the control group and the dyslipidemia group. The retina thickness and fundus blood flow density were determined using OCTA. RESULTS The study enrolled 87 left eyes from 87 adults with dyslipidemia and 87 left eyes from age- and sex-matched participants without dyslipidemia. The retina of dyslipidemia subjects was significantly thinner than that of the controls in the inferior (P=0.004 and P=0.014, respectively) and temporal (P=0.015 and P=0.019, respectively) regions, both inner and outer layers. In terms of blood flow density in the macula or optic disk, there was a decreasing trend in the dyslipidemia group compared with the control group, especially in the inferior and temporal regions. CONCLUSION Dyslipidemia may contribute to the decrease in retinal thickness and fundus blood flow density. Further validation of the association between abnormal lipid metabolism and fundus microcirculation alterations needs to be carried out in chest pain patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and atherosclerosis has been controversial, which has become a hit of recent research. The study aimed to explore the association between MASLD, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCVD), and the thickness of carotid plaque which was assessed by ultrasound. METHODS From September 2018 to June 2019, 3543 patients were enrolled. We asked participants to complete questionnaires to obtain information. All patients underwent liver ultrasound and bilateral carotid ultrasound to obtain carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and maximum carotid plaque thickness (CPT). Hepatic steatosis was quantified during examination according to Hamaguchi's ultrasonographic score, from 0 to 6 points. A score < 2 was defined as without fatty liver, and a score ≥ 2 was defined as fatty liver. Information about blood lipids was collected based on the medical records. RESULTS We found common risk factors for CCVD events, MASLD, and atherosclerosis. There was a significant correlation between MASLD and carotid plaque, but not with CPT. No association was found between MASLD and CCVD events. CPT and IMT were thicker in CCVD patients than in non-CCVD patients. No significant difference was found between IMT and CPT in MASLD patients and non-MASLD patients. CCVD was independently and consistently associated with higher IMT, and free fatty acid (FFA). CONCLUSIONS According to our results, we recommend carotid ultrasound examination of the patients when FFA is increased, regardless of the presence of risk factors and MASLD. Due to the distribution of CPT of both CCVD and MASLD patients in the CPT 2-4 mm group, contrast-enhanced ultrasound is necessary to assess the vulnerability of the plaque when CPT ≥ 2 mm. Timely treatment of vulnerable plaques may reduce the incidence of future CCVD events.

Abstract
Telomere length, a marker of ageing, is susceptible to developmental programming that may cause its accelerated attrition. Metabolic syndrome triggers telomere attrition. Fenofibrate, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha agonist, is protective against telomere attrition. We investigated the impact of fenofibrate administered during suckling on the lipid profile and leucocyte telomere lengths of rats fed a high-fructose diet post-weaning. Suckling Sprague-Dawley pups (n = 119) were allocated to four groups and gavaged with either 10 mL·kg-1 body mass 0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide, 100 mg·kg-1 body mass fenofibrate, fructose (20%, w / v), or a combination of fenofibrate and fructose for 15 days. Upon weaning, each of the initial groups was split into two subgroups: one had plain water while the other had fructose solution (20%, w / v) to drink for 6 weeks. Blood was collected for DNA extraction and relative leucocyte telomere length determination by real-time PCR. Plasma triglycerides and cholesterol were also quantified. The treatments had no effect (p > 0.05) on body mass, cholesterol concentration, and relative leucocyte telomere lengths in both sexes. Post-weaning fructose increased triglyceride concentrations (p < 0.05) in female rats. Fenofibrate administered during suckling did not affect ageing nor did it prevent high fructose-induced hypertriglyceridaemia in female rats.

Abstract
Dysregulation of lipid metabolism results in metabolism-related diseases. Our previous research indicated that 1.3% E and 4% E ruminant trans fatty acids (R-TFA) caused dyslipidemia and promoted atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE-/- mice, presenting detrimental effects. However, the effect of R-TFA on the lipid metabolism of normal mice remains unclear. Therefore, our current research aims to explore the effects of butter-derived R-TFAs on the lipid metabolism of C57BL/6J mice through the integration of lipidomics and transcriptomics. As a result, we found that 1.3% E butter-derived R-TFA promoted dyslipidemia and impaired hepatic function in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet, which was associated with an increase in DG (18:1/22:5), TG (18:1/18:2/22:4) and FA (24:5) as determined through lipidomics analysis, but had a less significant effect on C57BL/6J mice fed a low-fat diet. Through a combination analysis and verification of gene expression, we found that the arachidonic acid pathway might be involved in the disruption of lipid metabolism by butter-derived R-TFA. In addition, butter-derived R-TFA up-regulated the expression of unigene thromboxane-A synthase 1 (Tbxas1), arachidonate lipoxygenase 3 (Aloxe3), acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 2 (Acot2), epoxide hydrolase 2 (Ephx2) and carbonyl reductase 3 (Cbr3) in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet. Herein, our research provides a new perspective for exploring the effects of butter-derived R-TFA on lipid metabolism and speculates on the possible mechanism of lipid metabolism disorder induced by butter-derived R-TFA in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet.

Adequate Intake of Dietary Fiber May Relieve the Detrimental Impact of Blood Lead on Dyslipidemia among US Adults: A Study of Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Database. Nutrients 2023; 15:4434. [PMID: 37892509 PMCID: PMC10610417 DOI: 10.3390/nu15204434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Lead (Pb) exposure is a well-established risk factor for dyslipidemia, and people are exposed to it in multiple ways daily. Dietary fiber is presumed to improve lipid metabolism disorders, but it is still unknown whether it can relieve the detrimental impact of Pb on dyslipidemia. We used publicly accessible data from the 2011-2016 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). A total of 2128 US adults were enrolled for the subsequent analysis. Heavy metal concentrations in blood were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). A weighted logistic regression was conducted to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The dose-response relationship between blood heavy metals and dyslipidemia was explored using a weighted restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. After fully adjusting for potential confounding factors (age, gender, race, education level, ratio of family income to poverty, marital status, body mass index, physical activity, waist circumference, smoke, alcohol drinking and history of metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and diabetes), a positive association between blood Pb levels and dyslipidemia risk was revealed (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.03-1.40). Dietary fiber intake may significantly modify the association between blood Pb levels and dyslipidemia (p-interaction = 0.049), with a stronger association (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.05-1.52) being revealed in individuals with an inadequate intake of dietary fiber (<14 g/1000 kcal/day), but a null association (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.72-1.42) being observed in those with an adequate intake of dietary fiber (≥14 g/1000 kcal/day). Moreover, the weighted RCS analysis showed that compared with the average blood Pb exposure level (4.24 µg/dL), a lower blood Pb exposure level (3.08 µg/dL) may contribute to the risk of dyslipidemia in the group with an inadequate dietary fiber intake. Our findings suggest that Pb exposure in blood may be a risk factor for dyslipidemia. However, an adequate dietary fiber intake may offset the risk of dyslipidemia caused by blood Pb exposure. Since avoiding Pb exposure in daily life is difficult, increasing dietary fiber intake in the future might be a promising approach to alleviate dyslipidemia caused by Pb exposure.

Abstract
Backgrounds and Objective Diabetic foot is a relatively severe complication in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), with peripheral neuropathy and angiopathy frequently serving as risk factors. However, it is unknown how the other major systemic metabolic factors impacted the profile of these patients, besides glucose management. Thus, we investigated the distinct characteristics of patients with diabetic foot ulcers and their relationships with angiopathy. Materials and Methods We obtained the laboratory data of 334 diabetic patients at Shanghai Pudong Hospital from 2020 to 2023. The comparisons were performed between the groups with or without diabetic foot, including glucose metabolism, lipids profile, liver and kidney function, thyroid function, and serum iron. The association between metabolic factors and lower extremity computed tomography angiography (CTA) was analyzed. Results We found significant disparities between groups in relation to age, serum protein content, liver transferase, serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum uric acid (UA), small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL), lipoprotein A (LP(a)), apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1), thyroid function, serum iron, and hemoglobin (Hb) (p<0.05). The Spearman correlational analyses showed that the severity of CTA, categorized by the unilateral or bilateral plaque or occlusion, was positively significantly correlated with UA (r=0.499), triglyceride (TG) (r=0.751), whereas inversely correlated with serum albumin (r=-0.510), alanine aminotransferase (r=-0.523), direct bilirubin (DBil) (r=-0.494), total bilirubin (TBil) (r=-0.550), Hb (r=-0.646). Conclusion This cross-section investigation showed that compared to T2D only, the patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) might display similar glucose metabolic control context but adverse metabolic profiles, and this profile is associated with macrovascular angiopathy characteristics and their severity.

Nutr J 2023; 22:48. [PMID: 37798712 PMCID: PMC10557340 DOI: 10.1186/s12937-023-00873-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between marine polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake and cardiovascular disease and mortality in dyslipidemic patients is unclear. Men with dyslipidemia have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease than women, and PUFA supplementation may be more beneficial in men. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between different types of marine polyunsaturated fatty acids intakes and cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality in adult U.S. males with dyslipidemia. METHODS The study ultimately included 11,848 adult men with dyslipidemia who were screened from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2001 and 2016. This was linked to the 2019 National Death Index (NDI) records to establish a prospective cohort. In the study, a logistic regression model was established to assess the relationship between PUFA intake and prevalent CVD, and a Cox proportional hazards regression model was established to assess the relationship between PUFA intake and death. RESULTS In the fully adjusted models, compared with participants in the lowest tertile, participants with the highest DPA intake were associated with a lower risk of CVD (CVD: OR = 0.71, 95%CI: 0.55, 0.91; angina: OR = 0.54, 95%CI: 0.38, 0.79; stroke: OR = 0.62, 95%CI: 0.43, 0.89), but not with three subtypes of congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, and myocardial infarction. And the highest tertile level of DPA intake can reduce all-cause mortality (HR = 0.77, 95%CI: 0.64, 0.91) and CVD mortality (HR = 0.68, 95%CI: 0.52, 0.90). CONCLUSIONS Cardiovascular disease risk, all-cause mortality, and CVD mortality were inversely associated with dietary DPA intake but not EPA and DHA intakes in U.S. male participants with dyslipidemia.
