Abstract
A growing number of observational studies have been carried out on the relationship between serum magnesium and risk of dyslipidemia, but their results were conflicting. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum magnesium levels and risk of dyslipidemia in Chinese adult residents. We used data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) in the wave of 2009 to conduct a cross-sectional study. A total of 8,457 participants (47.2% male) with a mean age of 50.5 years were assessed and divided into 4 groups based on quartiles of serum magnesium levels. We found that higher quartiles of serum magnesium were associated with increased prevalence of dyslipidemia. After adjustment for confounders, the results of logistic regression analyses indicated that there was an increased trend in dyslipidemia risk as quartiles of serum magnesium increased. The restricted cubic spline model revealed a nonlinear relationship between serum magnesium levels and dyslipidemia. In subgroup analyses, the positive relationship between serum magnesium levels and dyslipidemia was more significant in females than in males. Our study suggested that serum magnesium levels were positively associated with risk of dyslipidemia in Chinese adult population. Further research is needed to provide a deep understanding of the underlying mechanism of magnesium on lipid metabolism.

Association of serum magnesium with metabolic syndrome and the role of chronic kidney disease: A population-based cohort study with Mendelian randomization. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:1808-1820. [PMID: 38361465 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the association of serum magnesium with prevalent and incident metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its individual components in the general population and to examine any effect modification by chronic kidney disease (CKD) status. METHODS We analysed longitudinal data from the population-based KORA F4/FF4 study, including 2996 participants (387 with CKD) for cross-sectional analysis and 1446 participants (88 with CKD) for longitudinal analysis. Associations with MetS, as well as single components of MetS, were assessed by adjusted regression models. Nonlinearity was tested by restricted cubic splines and analyses were stratified by CKD. Causality was evaluated by two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). RESULTS Serum magnesium (1 SD) was inversely associated with prevalent MetS (odds ratio [OR] 0.90, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.83, 0.98). The association was more pronounced in individuals with CKD (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.59, 0.94). Among MetS components, serum magnesium was negatively associated with elevated fasting glucose (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.71, 0.88) and, again, this association was more pronounced in individuals with CKD (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.53, 0.84). Serum magnesium was not associated with incident MetS or its components. Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a significant nonlinear inverse relationship of serum magnesium with MetS and elevated fasting glucose. MR analysis suggested an inverse causal effect of serum magnesium on MetS (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.85, 0.97). CONCLUSION Serum magnesium is associated with prevalent, but not incident MetS, and this effect is stronger in individuals with CKD. MR analysis implies a potential, albeit weak, causal role of magnesium in MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Considering the interactions between heavy metals, a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of exposure to various types of co-interacting heavy metals on health is required. This study assessed the association between dyslipidemia markers and blood mercury, lead, cadmium, iron, zinc, and nickel levels in residents of an abandoned refinery plant. METHODS A total of 972 individuals (exposed group: 567, control group: 405) living near the Janghang refinery plant in the Republic of Korea were included. Blood mercury, lead, cadmium, iron, zinc, nickel, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels were measured. The combined effect of the six heavy metals on dyslipidemia markers was evaluated using a Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) model and compared with the results of a linear regression analysis. The BKMR model results were compared using a stratified analysis of the exposed and control groups. RESULTS In the BKMR model, the combined effect of the six heavy metals was significantly associated with total cholesterol (TC) levels both below the 45th percentile and above the 55th percentile in the total population. The combined effect range between the 25th and 75th percentiles of the six metals on TC levels was larger in the exposed group than that in the total population. In the control group, the combined effects of the changes in concentration of the six heavy metals on the TC concentration were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the cholesterol levels of residents around the Janghang refinery plant may be elevated owing to exposure to multiple heavy metals.

Abstract
Nutrition plays a crucial role in CAD development, with trace elements like zinc, magnesium, copper, and iron impacting atherogenesis through their antioxidant or oxidant activity. This cross sectional study was conducted under the ICMR-STS program with IEC approval with the aim to estimate and correlate serum magnesium, zinc, and iron levels in CAD patients compared to healthy Individuals in the Urban South Indian population (50 cases, 50 controls, aged 40-70 years). Statistical analyses revealed a significant difference in serum iron levels between cases (95.10 ± 38.82 µg/dL) and controls (118.30 ± 50.54 µg/dL) with a p-value of 0.012. Serum magnesium levels showed a marginal difference between cases (1.97±0.11 mg/dL) and controls (1.92±0.15 mg/dL) with a p-value of 0.053. However, serum zinc levels did not exhibit a statistically significant difference between cases (123.47 ± 26.35 mg/dL) and controls (118.90 ± 32.77 mg/dL) with a p-value of 0.445. Thus, data shows the association between low serum iron levels and an increased risk of coronary artery disease.

Abstract
High dietary sodium and low potassium intake is associated with high blood pressure (BP). The current study aimed to determine if the sodium-to-potassium ratio is more strongly associated with low (130-139/80-89 mm Hg) and high (≥140/90 mm Hg) BP thresholds among US adults than either sodium or potassium alone. A total of 30,776 patients aged ≥20 years with complete blood pressure participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2003 to 2018. Demographic information and health characteristics were compared between men and women using the chi-square test for categorical variables and independent samples t-test for continuous variables. Logistic regression was performed to investigate the association of the odds ratios (OR) of different levels of sodium, potassium, and sodium-to-potassium ratio. After multivariable adjustment (age, gender, Body mass index, Smoking, education, Race, Alcohol, total energy intake, and physical activity), no relationship has been observed between high versus low sodium-to-potassium ratio and BP threshold of 130-139/80-89 mm Hg (odds ratio [OR]: 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.92-1.12). Higher sodium-to-potassium ratio (OR=1.24; CI: 1.11-1.38) and dietary intake of potassium (OR=0.66; CI: 0.55-0.80) showed significant association in reducing the BP threshold of ≥140/90 mm Hg. In dose-response analysis, higher BP ≥140/90 mm Hg was inversely associated with higher potassium intake. Furthermore, the sodium-to-potassium ratio showed higher odds in predicting the BP of patients aged ≤60 years, underweight, nonsmokers, and non-alcohol users. The study confirms an inverse association between higher potassium intake and higher BP threshold. The Doses-response analyses showed sodium-to-potassium ratio is a better predictor of BP thresholds than sodium or potassium alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is presented with a cluster of cardio-metabolic risk factors with widespread prevalence. In the present case-control study, we aimed to examine the relationship between several minerals and renal function tests with the components of MetS in individuals with obesity. METHODS This study included 127 individuals with obesity of both gender with or without MetS as the case and control, respectively. MetS was characterized based on the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria. Anthropometric variables and blood pressure were recorded. Mineral status including serum magnesium, copper, calcium, phosphorous, and iron were measured using standard colorimetric methods. Also, the serum lipid levels, concentrations of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL), and renal function tests, including total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, and uric acid were evaluated using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. RESULTS According to our results, individuals with obesity and MetS had higher levels of waist circumference (WC) and diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.05) compared to individuals with obesity and without MetS. Moreover, individuals with obesity and MetS had higher levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), insulin, and iron (P < 0.05). In individuals with obesity and MetS, iron and albumin showed a positive relationship with LDL cholesterol and TG concentrations, respectively (P < 0.05 for all of them). Also, there was a positive association between serum magnesium and Ox- LDL in individuals with obesity with MetS. While, in individuals with obesity and without MetS, only a positive association between urea and uric acid with WC was observed (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that disturbed serum lipids in obesity-metabolic syndrome is associated with homeostatic changes in the level of minerals or proteins that are involved in their metabolism. Although, further studies are needed to better explain and clarify the underlying mechanism of observed relationships.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnesium (Mg) is key in diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and cardiovascular disease. METHODS This is a retrospective cross-sectional study including 103 kidney transplant recipients. Patients aged under 18 years, patients treated with Mg supplementation, antihyperlipidemic agents, or diuretics, and patients with active infection or malignancy were not enrolled. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to median serum Mg level. The atherogenic index of plasma was calculated by a logarithmic transformation of the number acquired by dividing the molar concentrations of serum triglyceride by high-density lipoprotein value. RESULTS The mean serum Mg level was 1.91 ± 0.28 mg/dL. Six patients (5.8%) had hypomagnesemia (Mg <1.5 mg/dL), and 2 (1.9%) had hypermagnesemia (Mg >2.6 mg/dL). Serum Mg level was negatively correlated with body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and tacrolimus trough level and positively correlated with levels of phosphorus, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C). There was no correlation between serum Mg and triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein, atherogenic index of plasma, and cyclosporin A trough level. Patients with Mg >1.87 mg/dL had lower eGFR, tacrolimus, and cyclosporin A trough level and higher total cholesterol and LDL-C compared to those with Mg ≤1.87 mg/dL. In adjusted ordinal analysis, eGFR (hazard ratio (HR): 0.981, 95% CI 0.964-0.999, P = .036) and total cholesterol (HR: 1.015, 95% CI 1.004-1.027, P = .008) were independently associated with serum Mg. In multivariate linear regression analysis, serum Mg level was independently associated with LDL-C (β = .296, t = 3.079, P = .003) and total cholesterol (β = .295, t = 3.075, P = .003). CONCLUSION Serum Mg level may have an important impact on dyslipidemia in kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract
The age-old axiom that one is as old as his or her vessels are, calls for ongoing critical re-examination of modifiable risk factors of accelerated vascular ageing in chronic kidney diseases. Attempts to modulate vascular risk with cholesterol-lowering agents have largely failed in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition to nitrogen waste products, many pathological biochemical processes also play a role in vascular calcification in chronic kidney damage. Magnesium, a cation vital for the body, may substantially reduce cardiovascular diseases' risk and progression. This narrative review aimed to address the relationship between hypomagnesemia and vascular calcification, which promotes further cardiovascular complications in diabetes, aging, and CKD. Articles with predefined keywords were searched for in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. We hypothesized that a decrease in serum magnesium levels contributes to increased vascular calcification and thereby increases cardiovascular mortality. In summary, based on existing evidence in the literature, it appears that simple and inexpensive oral magnesium supplementation may reduce the cardiovascular mortality of patients who are already severely affected by such diseases; in this context, the concept of 'normal' vs. 'ideal' serum magnesium levels should be carefully re-examined.

Abstract
Background Although several studies have examined the relationships between lead (Pb) exposure and serum lipid profiles, the associations of the metal mixture, including lead (Pb) and essential metals with lipid profiles, remain unclear. Objective To investigate the associations of the metal mixture including Pb and essential metals [magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and calcium (Ca)] with serum lipid profiles [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)], as well as the potential interactions among the metals. Methods Nine hundred and ninety-eight Chinese community-dwelling adults completed a questionnaire and underwent checkups of anthropometric parameters, serum lipid profile levels (TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C), and blood metal concentrations (Pb, Mg, Mn, Cu, Fe, Zn, and Ca). The multivariable linear regression, weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression, and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) were applied to evaluate the single and combined associations of blood Pb and essential metals with serum lipid profiles. Results In the multivariable linear regression model, the blood Pb was positively associated with TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C (p < 0.05, all), and the blood Mg were positively associated with serum TC, LDL-C, and Ln TG (p < 0.05, all). In the WQS regression and BKMR models, the metal mixture of blood Pb and the essential metals was positively associated with all of the serum lipid profiles. In addition, an inverse U-shaped association of Pb with Ln TG and the positive interactive effect between blood Pb and Mg levels on TC and LDL-C were found. Conclusion The levels of blood Pb, together with the essential metals, especially Mg levels, are suggested to be considered when assessing dyslipidemia risk. However, more evidence is still needed to validate the conclusions.

Does Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation Have Favorable Effects on the Lipid Profile in Postmenopausal Women? A Systematic Review and Dose-response Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Clin Ther 2023; 45:e74-e87. [PMID: 36641259 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2022.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Menopause is associated with disturbances in the metabolism of lipids. Moreover, during the postmenopausal period, female subjects are more prone to develop dyslipidemia. Omega-3 fatty acids, which exert cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-lowering actions, are commonly recommended in postmenopausal women. However, their effect on serum lipids in this population remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to clarify this research question. METHODS We systematically searched the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, and EMBASE databases from their inception until January 3, 2022. The DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model was used to combine effect sizes. FINDINGS Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation resulted in a decrease in triglyceride concentrations (weighted mean difference [WMD], -17.8 mg/dL; 95% CI, -26 to -9.6; P < 0.001), particularly in the RCTs that lasted ≤16 weeks (WMD, -18.6 mg/dL), when the baseline triglyceride concentrations were ≥150 mg/dL (WMD, -22.8 mg/dL), in individuals with a body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 (WMD, -19.3 mg/dL), and when the dose of omega-3 fatty acids was ≥1 g/d (WMD, -21.10 mg/dL). LDL-C (WMD, 4.1 mg/dL; 95% CI, 1.80 to 6.36; P < 0.001) and HDL-C (WMD, 2.1 mg/dL; 95% CI, 0.97 to 3.2; P < 0.001) values increased. Total cholesterol levels (WMD, -0.15 mg/dL; 95% CI, -4 to 3.74; P = 0.94) remained unchanged after administration of omega-3 fatty acids. IMPLICATIONS In postmenopausal women, supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids resulted in a significant reduction in triglyceride concentrations and a modest elevation in HDL-C and LDL-C levels, whereas this intervention did not affect total cholesterol values.

Association between combined exposure to plasma heavy metals and dyslipidemia in a chinese population. Lipids Health Dis 2022; 21:131. [PMID: 36474262 PMCID: PMC9724421 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-022-01743-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to heavy metals in the environment is widespread, while the relationship between combined exposure to heavy metals and dyslipidemia is unclear. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed, and 3544 participants aged 30 years or older were included in the analyses. Heavy metal concentrations in plasma were based on inductively coupled plasma‒mass spectrometry. The relationship between heavy metals and dyslipidemia was estimated by logistic regression. BKMR was used to evaluate metal mixtures and their potential interactions. RESULTS In logistic regression analysis, participants in the fourth quartile of Fe and Zn (Fe > 1352.38 µg/L; Zn > 4401.42 µg/L) had a relatively higher risk of dyslipidemia (Fe, OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 0.92,1.38; Zn, OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.03,1.64). After sex stratification, females in the third quartile of plasma Zn (1062.05-4401.42 µg/L) had a higher relative risk of dyslipidemia (OR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.28, 2.38). In BKMR analysis, metal mixtures were negatively associated with dyslipidemia in females when all metal concentrations were above the 50th percentile. In the total population (estimated from 0.030 to 0.031), As was positively associated with dyslipidemia when other metals were controlled at the 25th, 50th, or 75th percentile, respectively, and As was below the 75th percentile. In females (estimated from - 0.037 to -0.031), Zn was negatively associated with dyslipidemia when it was above the 50th percentile. CONCLUSION This study indicated that As was positively associated with dyslipidemia and that Zn may be negatively associated with dyslipidemia in females. Combined metal exposure was negatively associated with dyslipidemia in females. Females with low plasma Zn levels are more likely to develop dyslipidemia and should receive more clinical attention in this population.

The effects of capsinoids supplementation on body composition and anthropometric measures: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2022; 52:381-394. [PMID: 36513480 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2022.09.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2021] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The present systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of capsinoids on body mass index (BMI), body weight (BW), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), visceral fat area (VFA), and percentage body fat (PBF). METHODS Four databases were searched from inception to November 2020 using relevant keywords. All clinical trials investigating the effects of capsinoids supplementation on body composition and anthropometric measures were retained. RESULTS Overall, 19 effect sizes and 13 trials with a total sample size of 838 participants were included. Capsinoids supplementation had no effect on BW (P = 0.230), BMI (P = 0.182), WC (P = 0.611), FM (P = 0.946), FFM (P = 0.917), WHR (P = 0.599), VFA (P = 0.836), and PBF (P = 0.973). Findings from subgroup analysis revealed a significant reduction in BW in trials conducted on overweight participants, and lasted ≥12 weeks, However, no significant non-linear associations were found between capsinoids supplementation dosage and study duration with both BW (For dosage: Pnon-linearity = 0.527, for duration: Pnon-linearity = 0.410) and BMI (For dosage: Pnon-linearity = 0.308, for duration: Pnon-linearity = 0.578). CONCLUSION Capsinoids supplementation has no significant effect on obesity indicators. However, capsinoids in trials conducted on overweight participants, and lasted ≥12 weeks may have a significant and modest reduction in BW. Well-designed RCTs with larger sample size and longer duration are needed to confirm these results.

Dietary phytochemical index and the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: A case-control study among Iranian adults. Complement Ther Med 2022; 71:102881. [PMID: 36031025 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctim.2022.102881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Dietary phytochemical index (DPI) is an inexpensive method for estimating the amounts of phytochemicals in foods. No study has investigated the association between DPI and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Our study aimed to compare DPI in patients with NAFLD and the control group. METHODS This is a case-control study of 250 subjects with NAFLD and 450 healthy subjects attending the Metabolic Liver Disease Research Center as a referral center affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. DPI was calculated based on data collected from a 168-item validated food frequency questionnaire. Sociodemographic data, physical activity, and anthropometric measures such as body weight, height, and waist circumference were determined. RESULTS In the final adjusted model, the odds ratio (OR) of NAFLD across the DPI tertiles decreased significantly (OR = 0.55, 95 %CI = 0.31-0.95) (P-trend = 0.03). The highest vs. lowest tertiles of vegetable and olives PI were significantly associated with a lower risk of NAFLD (OR and 95 % CI = 0.26 (0.14-0.47); OR and 95 % CI = 0.51 (0.29-0.90), p for trend < 0.001, respectively), however, there was no significant relation between other PI components and NAFLD. CONCLUSION This case-control study suggested that a higher PI score is associated with a reduced chance of NAFLD after adjusting for confounding variables. In addition, the highest tertile of vegetable and olives PI was significantly associated with a lower risk of NAFLD.

Abstract
Growing evidence indicates that metal exposure is associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS); however, mixed results have been reported. The aim of this study was to clarify associations of exposure to essential and non-essential metals with body composition and risks of obesity and MetS. Anthropometry and blood biochemistry of metabolic parameters were obtained from 150 middle-aged Taiwanese adults. Plasma metals were assessed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and body compositions were measured by a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The essential metals of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and chromium (Cr) were positively correlated with the body fat mass but inversely correlated with the skeletal muscle mass (all p < 0.05). An adjusted logistic regression showed that Mn [odds ratio (OR) = 1.624 (95% confidence interval 1.072, 2.462), p = 0.02] and, to a lesser extent, Cu [OR = 1.501 (0.985, 2.292), p = 0.059] predicted abdominal obesity, while plasma Cu [OR = 2.211 (1.146, 4.266), p = 0.02] and zinc (Zn) [OR = 2.228 (1.048, 4.736) p = 0.04] predicted MetS. Significant correlations between dyslipidemia and lithium [OR = 1.716 (1.080, 2.726)], Cu [OR = 2.210 (1.415, 3.454)], Mn [OR = 2.200 (1.320, 3.666)], molybdenum [OR = 1.853 (1.160, 2.958)], and Zn [OR = 1.993 (1.186, 3.349)], and between boron [OR = 2.583 (1.137, 5.868)] and hyperglycemia were observed (all p < 0.05). Exposure to essential metals may affect the body composition and metabolic profiles, exacerbating the risk of MetS.

Comorbid overweight/obesity and chronic pancreatitis exacerbate the dyslipidemia progression in type 2 diabetic patients. Endocr Regul 2022; 56:168-177.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective. The aim of present study was to analyze the serum lipid profile parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and comorbidities [overweight/obesity and/or chronic pancreatitis (CP)] to determine the contribution of these pathologic factors to lipid metabolism disorders in T2DM.
Methods. The study involved 579 type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients with comorbid overweight/ obesity and/or CP. The serum lipid panel parameters [total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] were determined by commercially available kits on a Cobas 6000 analyzer (Roche Hitachi, Germany). Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-HDL-C, and remnant cholesterol (RC) levels were calculated using formulas. The data were statistically analyzed using STATISTICA 7.0.
Results. It was shown that dyslipidemia in T2D patients is characterized by unidirectional changes regardless the presence/absence of comorbid overweight/obesity or CP. At the same time, the most severe dyslipidemia was detected in T2D patients with a combination of comorbid over-weight/obesity and CP. Both the elevated body mass index (BMI) and CP can aggravate lipid metabolism disorders in T2DM. In our study, however, the BMI increase positively correlated with the number of dyslipidemia patients characterized by exceeding all target lipid levels for diabetic patients. This is in contrast to T2D patients with normal body weight and comorbid CP, in whom only LDL-C and TG exceeded the target lipid levels.
Conclusions. A combination of comorbidities, such as obesity and CP in T2D patients, produced a mutually aggravating course defined particularly by common pathogenic links, insulin resistance, chronic generalized low-intensity inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and dyslipidemia caused primarily by triglyceridemia.

Abstract
Background Magnesium (Mg) is the second most abundant intracellular cation. Ionized Mg is the only active form of Mg. The concentration of ionized Mg could be a potentially novel biomarker for anxiety and depression. Aim The aim of this study was to assess the serum concentration of ionized Mg and its correlation with biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation in patients with anxiety and depression. Methods In this study included 93 respondents were divided into 3 groups: C (control group—18 respondents); A (patients with anxiety disorder, dissociative/conversion disorders and somatoform disorders—36 patients); D (patients with depression—39 patients). Clinical diagnosis was based on ICD-10 criteria. Blood samples were used for standard laboratory analysis, ionized Mg analysis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory parameters. Results Statistical significance was recorded between healthy volunteers and patients (anxiety/depression) in ionized Mg values. In anxious patients, malondialdehyde (MDA) had a positive correlation between the parameters of oxidative stress with ionized Mg. In depressive patients, MDA had a positive correlation, and glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) a negative correlation with the concentration of ionized Mg. Conclusion Ionized Mg and its correlation with parameters of oxidative stress could be potential biomarkers in anxious and depressive patients.

Jiao Y, Li W, Wang L, Jiang H, Wang S, Jia X, Wang Z, Wang H, Zhang B, Ding G. Relationship between Dietary Magnesium Intake and Metabolic Syndrome. Nutrients 2022; 14:2013. [PMID: 35631154 PMCID: PMC9144620 DOI: 10.3390/nu14102013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Revised: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasingly prevalent, and the relationship between dietary magnesium and MetS remains controversial. Therefore, we aimed to explore the association and dose-response relationship between dietary magnesium intake and MetS and its single component. The sample was adults aged 18 years and above who participated in at least two follow-up surveys in 2009, 2015 and 2018. Food consumption data were collected from three consecutive 24-h dietary recalls. The multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model and restricted cubic spline (RCS) model were used to analyze the association and dose-response relationship between dietary magnesium intake and MetS and its components. In our study, 6104 subjects were included, with a total follow-up of 37,173.36 person-years, and the incidence was 33.16%. Cox regression analysis showed that the multivariable-adjusted Hazard Ratio (HR) for MetS comparing the highest to the lowest quintile of dietary magnesium intake was 0.84 (95% confidence intervals [CI] = 0.71-0.99). Central obesity, elevated TG, elevated blood pressure and elevated blood glucose were reduced by 18%, 41%, 20% and 42%, respectively. The risk of decreased HDL-C was reduced by 23% in the third quintile of dietary magnesium intake, with a slightly increased risk in the highest group. RCS analysis showed that the overall and non-linear associations between dietary magnesium and MetS and its components were statistically significant, the risk of them decreased significantly when magnesium intake was lower than 280 mg/day, and then the curve leveled off or slightly increased.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) is an essential micronutrient that participates in various enzymatic reactions that regulate vital biological functions. The main aim was to assess the Mg status and its association with nutritional indicators in seventeen cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The serum Mg and calcium (Ca) levels were determined using standardized methods and the dietary Mg intake by prospective 72 h dietary surveys. The mean serum Ca (2.45 mmol/L) and Mg (0.82 mmol/L) had normal levels, and the mean dietary intake of the Ca (127% DRI: Dietary Reference Intake) and Mg (125% DRI) were high. No patients had an abnormal serum Ca. A total of 47% of the subjects had hypomagnesemia and 12% insufficient Mg consumption. One patient had a serum Mg deficiency and inadequate Mg intake. A total of 47 and 82% of our series had a high serum Ca/Mg ratio of >4.70 (mean 4.89) and a low Ca/Mg intake ratio of <1.70 (mean 1.10), respectively. The likelihood of a high Ca/Mg ratio was 49 times higher in patients with a serum Mg deficiency than in normal serum Mg patients. Both Ca/Mg ratios were associated with the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and even several cancers. Therefore, 53% of the CF patients were at high risk of a Mg deficiency and developing other chronic diseases.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) is an essential nutrient for maintaining vital physiological functions. It is involved in many fundamental processes, and Mg deficiency is often correlated with negative health outcomes. On the one hand, most western civilizations consume less than the recommended daily allowance of Mg. On the other hand, a growing body of evidence has indicated that chronic hypomagnesemia may be implicated in the pathogenesis of various metabolic disorders such as overweight and obesity, insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension (HTN), changes in lipid metabolism, and low-grade inflammation. High Mg intake with diet and/or supplementation seems to prevent chronic metabolic complications. The protective action of Mg may include limiting the adipose tissue accumulation, improving glucose and insulin metabolism, enhancing endothelium-dependent vasodilation, normalizing lipid profile, and attenuating inflammatory processes. Thus, it currently seems that Mg plays an important role in developing metabolic disorders associated with obesity, although more randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating Mg supplementation strategies are needed. This work represents a review and synthesis of recent data on the role of Mg in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders.

Abstract
FOXA3 is a transcription factor involved in the macrophage cholesterol efflux and macrophage reverse cholesterol transport reducing the atherosclerotic lesions. Thus, the present study aimed to establish if the FOXA3 polymorphisms are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis (SA) and cardiometabolic parameters. Two FOXA3 polymorphisms (rs10410870 and rs10412574) were determined in 386 individuals with SA and 1070 controls. No association with SA was observed. The rs10410870 polymorphism was associated with a low risk of having total cholesterol >200 mg/dL, non-HDL-cholesterol > 160 mg/dL, and a high risk of having LDL pattern B and insulin resistance adipose tissue in individuals with SA, and with a high risk of having interleukin 10 <p25 and magnesium deficiency in controls. The rs10412574 polymorphism was associated with a low risk of insulin resistance of the adipose tissue and a high risk of aspartate aminotransferase >p75 in individuals with SA, and with a low risk of LDL pattern B and a high risk of a magnesium deficiency in controls. Independent analysis in 846 individuals showed that the rs10410870 polymorphism was associated with a high risk of aortic valve calcification. In summary, FOXA3 polymorphisms were not associated with SA; however, they were associated with cardiometabolic parameters in individuals with and without SA.

Impact of walnut consumption on cardio metabolic and anthropometric parameters in metabolic syndrome patients: GRADE-assessed systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of data from randomized controlled trials. Pharmacol Res 2022; 178:106190. [PMID: 35338001 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2022.106190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, the effect of walnut consumption on various components of metabolic syndrome (Mets) in different populations has been investigated. However, the findings on the alterations of cardiometabolic and anthropometric indices following walnut consumption in adults with Mets have not been fully conclusive. METHODS The current study of eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examined the effects of walnut consumption on glucose homeostasis factors (fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c)), lipid profile (triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c)), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) concentrations and anthropometric indices (body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC)) in trials of 549 participants. A systematic search was conducted in online databases including MEDLINE, Scopus, and Clarivate Analytics Web of Science uses related keywords to detect eligible studies until December 2021. To calculate the weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), a random-effects model was used. RESULTS Results from the pooled analysis showed that serum TG concentration was significantly reduced (WMD, - 0.1 mmol/L; 95%CI (- 0.3 to - 0.02); p = 0.02; I2 = 38.6%; p = 0.10), although other lipid profile components (TC, LDL-c, and HDL-c), glucose homeostasis markers (FPG, insulin, and HbA1c), hs-CRP levels, anthropometric indices (BW, BMI, and WC) and blood pressure (SBP and DBP) were not influenced by walnut consumption. A significant dose-response association was detected between the dose of walnut intake and serum concentrations of FPG (Pnon-linearity < 0.03, Pdose-response < 0.001) and HDL-c (Pnon-linearity = 0.01, Pdose-response = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Walnut consumption reduces serum TG levels in individuals with metabolic syndrome, but it cannot affect other cardiometabolic indices. Future well-designed and large RCTs are required to clarify further beneficial effects of walnut consumption on the cardiometabolic profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported that melatonin intake is inversely associated with reduced markers of atherosclerosis development such as carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). OBJECTIVE This study was designed to assess the effects of melatonin administration on CIMT and pulse wave velocity (PWV) in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted on 32 DN patients. Subjects were assigned to receive melatonin or placebo (starch) for 24 weeks. Individuals in the melatonin group (n = 19) received 10 mg/day. CIMT and PWV levels were taken at the study baseline and after 24 weeks of intervention. RESULTS After 24 weeks of intervention, melatonin intake did not affect mean levels of left (P = 0.51) and right (P = 0.16) CIMT and maximum levels of left (P = 0.76) and right (P = 0.15) CIMT, and PWV (P = 0.55) compared with the placebo. In addition, within-group difference demonstrated a significant reduction in mean levels of right CIMT (P = 0.01) in the melatonin group. We did not observe any significant change in C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations after melatonin intake (P = 0.81). CONCLUSIONS Melatonin intake did not affect mean levels of left and right CIMT and maximum levels of left and right CIMT, PWV, CRP levels compared with the placebo. In addition, within-group difference demonstrated a significant reduction in mean levels of right CIMT in the melatonin group. This trial was registered at www.irct.ir as http://www.irct.ir: IRCT20200527047584N2.

Abstract
The clinical effects of tibolone on cardiometabolic markers are an underlying question in postmenopausal women. We aimed to meta-analyze the effects of tibolone on anthropometric indicators of obesity, blood pressure (BP), and on C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in postmenopausal women. Two independent reviewers searched Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed/Medline, and Embase up to until 20 April 2021. Weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated through the DerSimonian and Laird random-effect models between the tibolone and the control groups. Data from 20 eligible included showed that tibolone treatment increased the body mass index (BMI) by 0.23 kg/m2 (95% CI: 0.017 to 0.45, p = 0.03) but did not significantly increase body weight (WMD: 1.128 kg, 95% CI: -1.76 to 4.02, p = 0.44) or waist circumference (WC) (WMD: 0.64 cm, 95% CI: -3.18 to 4.48, p = 0.74). Also, tibolone treatment neither changed the systolic BP (WMD: 2.60 mmHg, 95% CI: -2.52 to 7.72, p = 0.31) nor the diastolic BP (WMD: 0.711 mmHg, 95% CI: -2.52 to 3.94, p = 0.66), but increased CRP levels by 0.44 mg/L (95% CI: 0.10 to 0.78, p = 0.01). Tibolone treatment administered in postmenopausal women increased BMI and CRP but did not change body weight, WC, and SBP. Diastolic BP decreased after the tibolone intervention only in the studies lasting 26 weeks versus ˃26 weeks.

Abstract
Background Pioglitazone’s effect on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has rarely been studied. Purpose This retrospective observational study investigated whether the use of pioglitazone would affect the risk of COPD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients and Methods The Taiwan’s National Health Insurance database was used to enroll 9487 matched pairs of ever users and never users of pioglitazone based on propensity score from a cohort of 350,536 patients. The enrolled patients had a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus between 1999 and 2008 and were not having a diagnosis of COPD before January 1, 2009. They were then followed up for COPD, starting from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2011. Diagnosis of COPD was based on the codes of 491 for chronic bronchitis and 492 for emphysema based on the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios. The interactions between pioglitazone and COPD risk factors including pneumonia, pulmonary tuberculosis and tobacco abuse were also investigated. Results In 9487 never users and 9487 ever users of pioglitazone, the case numbers of incident COPD were 359 and 295, respectively. The respective incidence rates of COPD were 1484.73 and 1167.61 per 100,000 person-years. The overall hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) for COPD that compared ever to never users was 0.778 (0.667–0.908). The hazard ratios for the tertiles of cumulative duration of pioglitazone therapy (cutoffs: <11.0, 11.0–19.6 and >19.6 months) to never users were 0.904 (0.729–1.121), 0.727 (0.578–0.914) and 0.715 (0.570–0.896), respectively. No interactions between pioglitazone and COPD risk factors including pneumonia, pulmonary tuberculosis and tobacco abuse were noted. Conclusion Pioglitazone use is associated with a significantly lower risk of COPD.

Abstract
Background & aim A few population-based studies have looked at how the Corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and outbreak-related lockdown has impacted people's daily eating habits and lifestyles. Due to the emergence of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), continuous lockdown or social isolation can alter dietary consumption patterns and lifestyle routines, resulting in significant negative health consequences. Focused on the COVID-19 and disease related lockdown effects, this study aims to reflect the evolving trend in dietary habits and lifestyle status during the COVID-19 lockdown in West Bengal through a population mediated retrospective survey distributed via social media platforms. Methods This survey was conducted using Google form via online platform from July 7 to July 31, 2020, with 1059 participants reported their eating habits and lifestyle preferences, as well as basic socio-demographic details. Entire variables were qualitatively examined and uttered as frequency (f) and percentage (%). The Chi-square test was performed to conclude whether categorical variables differed. Results A high number of participants reported that they were consumed healthy foods and physically active during this pandemic situation. Females were more likely to be involved in exercise and consume protein-rich food, as well as the majority of them, maintain basic dietary and Ayurvedic home remedies precautions like consumption of lemon, consumption of herbs, taking warm water, etc. A majority of older participants were tried to maintain a healthy lifestyle with extra protective essential protection during the COVID-19 stage.

Arabi SM, Bahrami LS, Rahnama I, Sahebkar A. Impact of synbiotic supplementation on cardiometabolic and anthropometric indices in patients with metabolic syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Pharmacol Res 2022; 176:106061. [PMID: 34999222 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2022.106061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2021] [Revised: 01/02/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Probiotic and synbiotic products are being widely used by a large number of patients and clinicians; however, effects on cardiometabolic indices in patients with the metabolic syndrome remain unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of a synbiotic intervention on lipid profile, insulin resistance, blood pressure, anthropometric parameters, and inflammatory markers. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, and Clarivate Analytics Web of Science by October 2021. Studies were selected if they reported the effectiveness of the synbiotic intervention on cardiometabolic and anthropometric indices. The weighted mean difference was calculated as the effect size using a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses were conducted to determine sources of heterogeneity. Dose-dependent effects were assessed using a dose-response meta-analysis of differences in means. RESULTS Five trials (1049 participants) were finally included in the meta-analysis. Synbiotic intervention significantly reduced serum insulin levels (WMD, -6.39 μU/mL; 95%CI, (-7.2 to -5.4); p = 0.001, I2 = 88.2%, N = 5), triglycerides (WMD, -20.3 mg/dl; 95%CI, (-32.7 to -7.8); p = 0.001, I2 = 87.7, N = 5), total cholesterol (WMD, -7.8 mg/dl; 95%CI, ( -12.5 to -3.02); p = 0.001; I2 = 66.7%, N = 5), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (WMD, -9.02 mg/dl; 95%CI, (-10.8 to -7.2); p < 0.001, I2 = 0%, N = 5), waist circumference (WMD, -4.04 cm; 95%CI, ( -4.9 to -3.08), p < 0.001; I2 = 22.7%, N = 3), body weight (WMD, -4.3 kg; 95%CI, (-6.2 to -2.5); p = 0.001; I2 = 0%, N = 2), systolic blood pressure (WMD, -1.8 mmHg; 95% CI, (-2.8 to -0.7); p = 0.001; I2 = 0%, N = 3), and serum interleukin-6 concentrations (WMD, -0.2 pg/mL; 95%CI, (-0.3 to -0.08); p = 0.001, I2 = 39.8%, N = 2), and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (WMD, 2.3 mg/dl; 95%CI, (0.2-4.4); p = 0.03; 03; I2 = 93.1%, N = 5). Synbiotic administration did not significantly affect fasting plasma glucose, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance, body mass index, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and serum C-reactive protein concentrations. CONCLUSIONS The present findings suggest that synbiotic intervention effectively improves cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with metabolic syndrome.

[PMID: 35140487 PMCID: PMC8819170 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s348870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Accepted: 01/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between vitamin D deficiency and NAFLD risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Overall, 434 patients with T2DM admitted to Hebei General Hospital from January 2019 to December 2019 were selected as the study subjects. According to abdominal ultrasound findings, patients were divided into the NAFLD group and the non-NAFLD group. Participants were divided into two study groups according to the 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level. 25(OH)D deficiency was defined if 25(OH)D vitamin levels were <20 ng/mL. Chi-square test and one-way analysis of variance were used to compare groups. The relationship between 25(OH)D and NAFLD risk was analyzed using correlation and regression analyses. Furthermore, subgroup analyses were performed to verify the robustness of the results. RESULTS The 25(OH)D level in patients with T2DM complicated by NAFLD was significantly lower than in patients with T2DM only. Vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent among T2DM patients with NAFLD. This study suggested that vitamin D deficiency was an independent factor for developing NAFLD in patients with T2DM. T2DM patients with vitamin D deficiency had 2.045 times higher risk of developing NAFLD than those without vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency was associated with high NAFLD preference in T2DM patients with BMI >23kg/m2, but not those with BMI ≤23kg/m2. The significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and NAFLD was found in participants with BMI >23kg/m2, age ≤65 years, without hypertension, TG <1.7mmol/l, HDL ≥1 mmol/l in men, ≥1.3 mmol/l in women, HBA1C ≤7%, or females. CONCLUSION This study suggests that T2DM people with BMI >23kg/m2 were more susceptible to NAFLD by vitamin D deficiency and that it is necessary to maintain optimal serum vitamin D levels in this population.

[PMID: 34973344 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2021.111682] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2021] [Revised: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Raloxifene treatment has been reported to be associated with cardiovascular benefits if prescribed to women during the postmenopausal period. However, a final conclusion regarding this hypothesis has not yet been achieved. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of raloxifene on the endothelial function and inflammation in postmenopausal women. METHODS We systematically searched the following 4 databases from inception to 23 January 2021 without any language restrictions: Web of Science, PubMed/Medline, Embase and Scopus. The eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting the effects of raloxifene on the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), C-reactive protein (CRP), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and E-selectin levels, were included in the final meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 16 RCTs were included in the final analysis. Raloxifene administration had no significant effect on ICAM-1 and E-selectin levels. However, we observed a decrease of the CIMT (WMD: -0.071 mm, 95% CI: -0.09 to -0.04, P = 0.000), CRP (WMD: -0.342 mg/L, 95% CI: -0.591, -0.094, p = 0.007), and VCAM-1 (WMD: -197.90 mg/L, 95% CI: -269.58 to -126.23, P = 0.000) levels in the intervention versus control groups following the prescription of this pharmacological agent. Moreover, raloxifene treatment resulted in a significant elevation of the FMD (WMD: 1.64%, 95% CI: 0.46 to 2.81, P = 0.006), particularly if the intervention was equal to or exceeded 12 weeks. CONCLUSION Raloxifene might emerge as a potential therapeutic option in the management of endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in postmenopausal women.

Clin Nutr ESPEN 2021; 46:527-531. [PMID: 34857245 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2021.08.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Revised: 08/08/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have emphasized the effects of vitamin D on the lung function of cystic fibrosis (CF) adult patients. The main aim of the present study sought to determine the association between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH D) concentration and clinical outcomes in non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis subjects. Secondary, we assessed the possible relationship between body composition and respiratory dysfunction in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-two non-CF bronchiectasis patients (24 male/38 female), aged 18-72, were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Anthropometric indices, lung function tests, and bronchiectasis severity valuations were determined. Body composition, including Mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC, cm) was calculated using triceps skinfold (TSF,mm) and mid-arm circumference (MAC,cm) under the reference formula. Then serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration and C-reactive protein level were measured. The correlation between vitamin D level and pulmonary function and disease exacerbation tests was primarily assessed. Additionally, we evaluated the correlation between body composition and lung function tests. RESULTS Circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D status positively was correlated with lung function tests, including FEV1 (r = 0.30, p value = 0.035) and FVC (r = 0.36, p value = 0.011), and also be associated with the extent of pulmonary involvement (r = -0.34, p value = 0.03). There was a significant negative correlation between percentage body fat and respiratory function, FEV1/FVC ratio (r = -0.43, p value < 0.001). In contrast, there was a strong correlation between skeletal muscle mass and pulmonary function tests (r = 0.26, p value = 0.04). CONCLUSION There is a positive association between low 25-hydroxyvitamin D status and lung dysfunction in participants with non-CF bronchiectasis. The pulmonary dysfunction also correlated with more percentage body fat and low skeletal muscle mass in these patients. Therefore, the evaluation of body composition and serum vitamin D are suggested in the disease management of the patients with non-CF bronchiectasis. However, these associations should be interpreted with caution due to the likelihood of reverse causation. More high-quality prospective studies are warranted to confirm our observations and determine the mechanisms underlying these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Point-of-care (POC) testing provides quick results and includes tests for blood glucose and lipid profiles. We evaluated the newly developed POC device, the GCare Lipid Analyzer, which is used to measure glucose, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. METHODS Venous and capillary blood samples were collected from patients who visited Korea University Guro Hospital. The results obtained using the GCare Lipid Analyzer were compared with those obtained using the TBA 2000FR chemistry analyzer and YSI 2300 STAT Plus analyzer. The glucose system evaluation process was based on the International Organization for Standardization 15197:2013 guidelines. RESULTS The correlation coefficients (R) for TC, TG, and HDL-C were 0.965, 0.969, and 0.943 in capillary blood and 0.969, 0.990, and 0.956 in venous blood, respectively. The total errors for TC, TG, and HDL-C of the lipid profile using venous blood were all acceptable at 6.6%, 9.3%, and 11.6%, respectively. For glucose concentrations <100 mg/dl, 96.1% of the measured glucose levels were within ±15 mg/dl in venous samples and 100% were within ±15 mg/dl in capillary samples. For glucose concentrations ≥100 mg/dl, 100% and 99.5% of the measured glucose levels were within 15% for venous and capillary blood, respectively. CONCLUSION The performance of the GCare Lipid Analyzer is acceptable for both blood glucose and lipid profile testing, indicating that it is reliable for use in patients with diabetic dyslipidemia.

Polypharmacy in the Management of Arterial Hypertension-Friend or Foe? MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2021; 57:medicina57121288. [PMID: 34946233 PMCID: PMC8705955 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57121288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Polypharmacy is associated with drug-drug or food-drug interactions that may pose treatment difficulties. The objective of the study was to investigate the use of polypharmacy in hypertensive patients hospitalized in the Internal Medicine Clinic of a European referral hospital. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review study on patients identified by a database search of discharge diagnoses to assess the use of polypharmacy and identify potential drug-drug and food-drug interactions. Results: In total, 166 hypertensive patients (68.46 ± 12.70 years, range 42-94 years) were compared to 83 normotensive subjects (67.82 ± 14.47 years, range 22-94 years) who were hospitalized in the clinic during the same period. Polypharmacy was more common in hypertensive versus normotensive subjects (p = 0.007). There were no differences in terms of age, as well as major (0.44 ± 0.77 versus 0.37 ± 0.73 interactions/patient, p = 0.52) and minor (1.25 ± 1.50 versus 1.08 ± 1.84 interactions/patient, p = 0.46) drug-drug interactions between patients with and without hypertension. The mean number of drug-drug interactions (6.55 ± 5.82 versus 4.93 ± 5.59 interactions/patient, p = 0.03), moderate drug-drug interactions (4.94 ± 4.75 versus 3.54 ± 4.17, p = 0.02) and food-drug interactions (2.64 ± 1.29 versus 2.02 ± 1.73, p = 0.00) was higher in patients with hypertension versus their counterparts. Conclusions: The present study reinforces that polypharmacy is a serious concern in hypertensive patients, as reflected by the high number of potentially harmful drug-drug or food-drug interactions. We recorded higher numbers of comorbidities, prescribed drugs, and moderate drug-drug/food-drug interactions in hypertensive versus normotensive patients. A strategy to evaluate the number of discharge medications and reduce drug-drug interactions is essential for the safety of hypertensive patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigates the bidirectional relationship between body weight and depression for both males and females in the U.S. METHODS Data are drawn from the 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), and a simultaneous ordered probability system is estimated with maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) to accommodate the two-way causality between depression and body weight categories. The variable of depression is measured by individuals' past depressive records and current mental health status. RESULTS Depression and body weight are found to affect each other positively for both males and females on average. In a randomized population, the results of average treatment effects suggest significant body weight differences between depressed and non-depressed individuals. Age and other sociodemographic factors affect body weight differently between genders and between the people with depression and those without. CONCLUSION The positive bidirectional relationship between body weight and depression is found. The effect of depression on body weight is significant among both males and females in a randomized population, and females who experience depression are most likely to be obese and less likely to have normal weight compared to females without depression. The risks of overweight and obesity are high among people who are less educated or unable, who have poor health statuses, and who had high blood pressure.

Abstract
Throughout the years, a growing number of studies have provided evidence that oxidative stress and inflammation may be involved in the pathogenesis of infectious agent-related cardiovascular diseases. Amongst the numerous respiratory pathogens, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel coronavirus responsible for the global ongoing pandemic, and Chlamydia pneumoniae, a widely known intracellular obligate bacteria, seem to have an essential role in promoting reactive oxygen species and cytokine production. The present review highlights the common oxidative and inflammatory molecular pathways underlying the cardiovascular diseases associated with SARS-CoV-2 or C. pneumoniae infections. The main therapeutic and preventive approaches using natural antioxidant compounds will be also discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Nesfatin-1 plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism and cognitive function. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between plasma nesfatin-1 levels and clinical indicators and cognitive function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Demographic and medical history data, physical examination, and biochemical test results of 132 T2DM patients were collected. The plasma concentrations of nesfatin-1, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), soluble triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells 1 (sTREM1), and sTREM2 in T2DM patients were measured. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult (BRIEF-A). The patients were divided into two groups: a low-nesfatin-1 group (n = 75) and a high-nesfatin-1 group (n = 57) based on a plasma nesfatin-1 concentration less than or above the 50th percentile value of all the samples. RESULTS The results showed that plasma HbA1c levels were positively correlated with CRP, IL-6, sTREM1, and sTREM2 levels in patients with T2DM (P < 0.05). Plasma nesfatin-1 concentrations were positively associated with diabetes-related biochemical indicators including glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin, and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and inflammation-related indicators including CRP, IL-6, sTREM1, and sTREM2 among patients with T2DM (P < 0.05). Moreover, T2DM patients with high nesfatin-1 levels showed higher HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels (P < 0.05). Furthermore, T2DM patients with high nesfatin-1 levels also showed higher BRIEF-A scores (P = 0.01). Additionally, T2DM patients with high total scores of BRIEF-A (scores > 50th percentile) could be identified with a sensitivity of 59.1% and a specificity of 72.7% by nesfatin-1. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that plasma nesfatin-1 might be involved in the T2DM-associated comorbidities and the development of cognitive dysfunction, and the mechanism underlying this involvement is related to the imbalance in the expression of CRP, IL-6, sTREM1, and sTREM2 levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the concentrations of progesterone (P4) and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) have been correlated with some characteristics of metabolic syndrome (MetS), the relationships with MetS are inconclusive. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between P4 and 17-OHP with MetS. METHODS In all, the present study includes 4807 participants. Serum P4 and 17-OHP were measured through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Logistic regression and restricted cubic splines were used to assess the independent and combined effects of P4 and 17-OHP on MetS. RESULTS After adjusting for multiple variables, the positive association of P4 with MetS was observed in postmenopausal women (Third tertiles vs First tertiles: OR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.20-1.86) and the negative association of 17-OHP with MetS was observed in men (Third tertiles vs First tertiles: OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.32-0.58). Compared with the combination of low P4 and low 17-OHP, the combination of high P4 and high 17-OHP were significantly related to MetS in postmenopausal women (OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.18-2.48). Moreover, the combination of low P4 and high 17-OHP was negatively associated with MetS in men (OR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.24-0.69). CONCLUSION The association between P4 and MetS in postmenopausal women was positive, whereas 17-OHP was negatively associated with MetS in men. Additionally, their combination has a synergistic effect on MetS in postmenopausal women and an antagonistic effect on MetS in men.
