ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the role of sLOX?1 and leptin in metabolic syndrome ,glucose and lipid metabolism. Methods 58 patients with metabolic syndrome were included in the study ,with other 35 normal controls as control group. Fasting venous blood samples were collected. ELISA method was used to detect serum sLOX?1 and leptin levels. The related biochemical indicators were tested. Results The sLOX?1 and leptin levels in the metabolic syndrome group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P 0.05). sLOX?1 and leptin levels were positively correlated. They were positively correlated with WAIST,TG,SBP,DBP,and negatively correlated with HDL?C. Leptin and age,FPG also had positive correlation,but sLOX?1 was not correlated with age and FPG. Conclusion sLOX?1 may be able to predict endothelial damage in patients with metabolic syndrome in an early stage. Combined with leptin ,the endothelial dysfunction could be reflected more accurately. They may be the important factors for early diagnosis and risk assessment of metabolic syndrome.
