RESUMEN

Background: Thyroid diseases are among the most common endocrine disorders worldwide. Thyroid hormones play a key role in regulating the synthesis, metabolism, and mobilization of lipids. Levels of circulating lipids may alter in thyroid dysfunction. Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to find out the alterations of lipid levels in thyroid dysfunction. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as cross-sectional observational study and analysis of values was done by significant tests difference in means. 20 patients with hypothyroidism, 20 patients with hyperthyroidism, and 20 normal were participated in the study. Levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), LDL-C, and LDL/HDL ratio were estimated and compared. Results: In patients with hypothyroidism, there was an increase in total cholesterol, LDL-C, and triglyceride levels and decrease in HDL-C levels. In hyperthyroidism, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, VLDL-C, and LDL/HDL ratio were found to be significantly decreased. Conclusion: Altered thyroid function can lead to significant changes in the lipid profile. Hypothyroidism is an important risk factor for heart diseases. Hence, routine screening of thyroid hormones may be of considerable help for early intervention and treatment of thyroid dysfunction-related cardiac disease.

RESUMEN

Dyslipidaemia has been implicated in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD) complications; hence its role requires further elucidation. Objectives: To investigate the relationship between disease severity and plasma lipid levels of patients with sickle cell anaemia. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used for the survey. A total of 50 patients with sickle cell anaemia and 50 controls without SCD were recruited for the study. The clinical data and plasma lipid levels of lipids and haemoglobin parameters were analysed. Results: The majority of the participants were aged 18-25 years. Total plasma cholesterol and HDL-C were significantly lower in individuals with SCA compared with the controls (3.3±1.2 vs 4.2±1.2; p<0.001) and (1.3±0.5 vs 1.5±0.4; p = 0.038) respectively. Most patients with SCA had moderate disease severity (24; 48%). There was no statistically significant difference in the plasma levels of total cholesterol and HDL-C across the disease severity groups of SCA (p = 0.694 and 0.262). There was also no significant correlation between total cholesterol, HDL-C, and markers ofhaemolysis, haemoglobin F, and haemoglobin S levels. Conclusion: SCA is characterised by lower mean plasma TC and HDL than controls. However, no relationship was found between TC, HDL levels and SCD disease severity, markers of haemolysis, HbF and HbS levels. Further studies are required to ascertain the implications of plasma lipid levels in SCD

RESUMEN

Background: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is progressively increasing in younger and adult population in India. It is a medical problem that increases risk of other diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers. One of the causes of dyslipidaemia is obesity. High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), is a marker of systemic inflammation and a predictor of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Hence it is important to check the relationship of hs-CRP with lipid profiles in obese and non-obese students.Methods: A case control observational study was carried out in 60 students. They were divided in to two groups obese and non-obese based on the BMI ranges. Serum lipid levels, hs-CRP and BMI was estimated in both groups to find out correlation of hs-CRP with lipid profile and BMI.Results: There was a significant rise in serum Total Cholesterol, LDL-C, Triacylglycerol and a significant fall in HDL-C in obese group as compared to non-obese group. Serum hs-CRP and BMI was significantly increased in obese students as compared to non-obese students. There was statistically significant positive correlation found between hs-CRP and total cholesterol, LDL-C, Triacylglycerol in obese students.Conclusions: Significant correlation was found between hs-CRP and lipid profile except HDL-C. Serum hs-CRP levels may decrease by treatment of dyslipidaemia. This would minimize the incidence of atherosclerosis and hence decrease the risk for development of coronary artery disease. Hence, improving the quality of life.

RESUMEN

Objective To investigate the prediction by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) with monocyte to high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) of 12-month prognosis in patients with intermediate non-left main coronary lesions after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Patients with intermediate non-left main coronary lesions diagnosed by coronary angiography were tested of monocyte counts and HDL-C levels at admission with MHRs calculated. IVUS was used to examine plaque stability in target lesions. Patients were dviided into stable plaque group (n=44) and unstable plaque group (n=140) according to the IVUS results. PCI was then operated in patients with unstable plaque or with minimum lumen area<4 mm2. The major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were recorded during the follow-up period of 12 months after PCI. Results MHR was significantly higher in unstable plaque group than that in stable plaque group[(22.6±8.4) vs.(14.1±7.2),P<0.001]. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that an MHR cut-off of 16.05 had 74.2% sensitivity and 77.0% specificity for prediction of 12-month MACE after PCI (AUC 0.78, 95% CI 0.71–0.85, P<0.001). Besides, unstable plaque with MHR over 16.05 was an independent risk factor for 12-month MACE after PCI (adjusted HR 3.26, 95% CI 2.48–4.14, P=0.020). Conclusions IVUS combined with MHR is a valuable index predicting the prognosiso f patients with intermediate non-left main coronary lesions who underwent PCI.

RESUMEN

Objective: Meta-Analysis was used to assess the association between serum high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) level and the development of breast cancer. Methods: Studies on the relationship of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and the development of breast cancer were retrieved from PubMed, Ovid, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Internet, VIP Periodical Resource Integration Service Platform, Wanfang Database and China Biomedical Literature Database from inception to January 9, 2017. Data were extracted from studies which met the inclusion criteria. Standardized mean difference (SMD) was used as an indicator of effect. Literature quality evaluation was carried out according to Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Stata 12.0 software was used for Meta-Analysis. Results: A total of 12 studies on the association of serum HDL-C level with breast cancer were included in this Meta-Analysis, including 8 204 patients with breast cancer and 230 835 controls. Meta-Analysis showed that the serum HDL-C level was associated with breast cancer [SMD =0.35 (95% confidence interval: 0.58 to 0.12), P <0.001]. Subgroup analysis revealed that serum HDL-C level of premenopausal breast cancer patients was lower than that of the controls [SMD =0.15 (95% confidence interval:0.29 to 0.01), P = 0.040], but the postmenopausal serum HDL-C level had no obvious relationship with breast cancer [SMD = 0.44 (95% confidence interval:0.98 to 0.11), P = 0.110]. In different study regions, the relationship between serum HDL-C level and the development of breast cancer was not clear. Conclusion: HDL-C is related to premenopausal breast cancer, and low serum HDL-C level may increase the risk of premenopausal breast cancer. The relationship between postmenopausal breast cancer and HDL-C is not clear. Given the limitations of the included studies, a larger prospective cohort study is needed to validate the above findings.

RESUMEN

Objective To evaluate the value of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in differential diagnosis of familial hypertriglyceridemia (FHTG) and familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL).Methods We recruited 9 FHTG pedigrees (94 subjects) and 24 FCHL pedigrees (94 subjects) and then divided them into affected groups and non-affected groups according to lipid abnormality.Another 10 normal control pedigrees (57 subjects) served as controls.We compared the routine lipid levels such as triglyceride (TAG),total cholesterol (TC),HDL-C and LDL-C and non-HDL-C between the groups.After stratification based on TAG level,we observed the relationship between LDL-C and non-HDL-C.Last we confirmed and analyzed the cut-off value of differential diagnosis between FHTG and FCHL with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results The levels of TAG,TC,and non-HDL-C were significantly higher in the affected group of FHTG than in the non-affected group of FHTG and the normal group (P<0.01 or P<0.05).The levels of TAG,TC,HDL-C,LDL-C and non-tHDL-C wcrc significantly higher in the affected group of FCHL than in the non-affected group of FCHL and the normal group (P<0.01 or P<0.05).The levels of TAG were significantly higher (P<0.01) while TC,HDL-C,LDL-C and non-HDL-C levels were significantly lower (P< 0.01 or P<0.05) in the affected group of FHTG than in the affected group of FCHL.The association between LDL-C and non-HDL-C was positive both in FHTG and FCHL,but the relationship became weaker as TAG level increased.The cut-off value of LDL-C and non-HDL-C was 3.575 mmol/L and 4.525 mmol/L,respectively.Conclusion In addition to the routinely used lipid indexes,non-HDL-C may be a new index for differential diagnosis of FHTG and FCHL,and may be superior to LDL-C in this regard.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To investigate age-specific and sex-specific distributions of blood cholesterol in the general Korean population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We analyzed data for 8284 men and 9246 women aged > or =10 years who participated in the fifth (2010-2012) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Age-specific means, medians, and selected percentiles were calculated for men, premenopausal women, and postmenopausal women. RESULTS: Median total cholesterol (TC) level increased with age across all age groups, from 147 to 196 mg/dL in males and from 159 to 210 mg/dL in females. Triglyceride (TG) levels increased with age in females; however, in males, TG levels rapidly increased during young adulthood, peaked at 50-54 years, and then decreased. High density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were higher in females than in males and decreased with increasing age in both males and females. Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels increased with age across all age groups, from 89 to 127 mg/dL in males and from 82 to 113 mg/dL in females. Lipoprotein-cholesterol fraction (TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, non-HDL-C) levels increased with age in females, but increased more rapidly in males during young adulthood and decreased after middle age. CONCLUSION: Blood cholesterol levels and lipoprotein-cholesterol fractions present different distributions by age, sex, and menopausal status.

RESUMEN

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Coronary heart disease (CHD) caused by atherosclerosis is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality. Prevention, stabilization and regression of atherosclerotic plaques may have a major impact on reducing the risk of acute coronary events. Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering agents, primarily the statins, are the current mainstay in the pharmacologic management of dyslipidemia. Epidemiologic and observational studies have shown that high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) is also a strong independent predictor of CHD, suggesting that raising HDL-C levels might afford clinical benefit in the reduction of cardiovascular risk. HDL particles have key atheroprotective functions—including the capacity to efflux cellular cholesterol—in addition to having antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, antithrombotic and vasodilatory actions. Therapeutic approaches to raise HDL-C levels can target one or more of several mechanisms, including the production of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) or modification of intravascular remodeling of HDL particles. However, the landscape of HDL-raising therapies is now littered with failed therapies, including niacin and the negative results with the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors. This is attributed to potential adverse effects of CETP inhibition such as the generation of HDL particles that have deficient biological activities and a deleterious impact on reverse cholesterol transport and steroid metabolism. Normalization of both defective HDL function and diminished HDL levels should, therefore, be the focus of pharmacological HDL-raising in future studies.

RESUMEN

Objective To examine the association between one-hour plasma glucose (1-hPG) level during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and serum lipid profiles in individuals with NGT. Methods 6 402 individuals with NGT who underwent a 75 g OGTT were screened from four communities of Hefei suburban areas, aged over 40 years. Then 1 291 cases of NGT were randomly selected as the object of this research by random data table method. They were divided into NGT-1 group (1-h PG < 8.6 mmol/L, n = 597)and NGT-2 group(1-h PG≥8.6 mmol/L, n = 694). Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to assess correlations between 1-h PG levels and lipid profiles. Results (1) The average values of body mass index were 24.3 kg/m2 in NGT-1 group, and 24.5 kg/m2 in NGT-2 group. (2) Compared with individuals in NGT-1 group , fasting plasma glucose , two-hour plasma glucose during OGTT , HbA1c , triglyceride (TG), and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-c) levels, TG/HDL-c ratios, and total cholesterol(TCH)/HDL-c ratios were significantly higher in individuals than in NGT-2 group. By contranst, body mass index, blood pressure , TCH and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were not significantly different between NGT-1 group and NGT-2 group. (3) The multiple linear regression analyses showed that 1 h PG levels positively correlated with TG in individuals in both NGT-1 group and NGT-2 group (P < 0.01). In addition, 1-h PG levels negatively correlated with HDL-c ratio in both groups (P < 0.01). Conclusion 1-h PG levels during OGTT in overweight individuals with NGT closely correlate with HDL-c and TG levels.

RESUMEN

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum thyrotrophin(TSH)and dyslipidemia in subclinical hypothyroid and euthyroid subjects. Methods An epidemiological study on diabetes and thyroid diseases was performed in Dadong community, Shenyang city, in 2007. 110 subjects with subclinical hypothyroidism(SCH)and 1 240 euthyroid subjects were enrolled in the study. Neither history of thyroid diseases nor administration of thyroid-related and lipid-regulating medicines were reported in these subjects. The levels of serum thyroid hormones, lipids, fasting plasma glucose(FPG), and insulin were determined. Results (1)Patients with SCH had significantly lower HDL-C levels than those who were euthyroid.(2)According to the guideline of treatment of adult dyslipidemia in China, the lipid profiles were each categorized. Mean TSH levels were higher in subjects in the dyslipidemia subclass than subjects in the normal subclass. The differences were significant in high LDL-C subclass in overweight individuals. In euthyroid overweight women, mean TSH levels were significantly higher in high LDL-C subclass. In the euthyroid population, TSH was positively associated with total cholesterol in overweight population. The association was not modified by the homestasis model assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)values.(3)TSH was associated positively with serum triglycerides and negatively with serum HDL-C in women. TSH was positively associated with total cholesterol in overweight population and positively associated with total cholesterol and LDL-C in overweight women after adjustment for age, sex, and body mass index. Conclusion Raised serum TSH seems to be a risk factor of dyslipidemia in subclinical hypothyroid and euthyroid subjects, which is independent of insulin sensitivity.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: A low level of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) is well known as an important cardiovascular risk factor which is closely associated with physical activity levels. However, there is a very few studies conducted on relationship between physical activity and HDL-C status among Korean adults. METHODS: We selected total 22,294 people aged 19 to 69 years old who had not taken lipid lowering agents from the 2005 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. The population was classified into three groups using the criteria for HDL-C of Adult Treatment Panel III. The relationship between the physical activity and HDL-C was investigated and the amount of physical activity levels of the three HDL-C groups were obtained with analysis of covariance with adjustments for various factors influencing the physical activity levels. RESULTS: After adjusted for various factors influencing HDL-C, physical activity is significantly associated with HDL-C. As physical activity is increased, HDL-C is much higher (P<0.001).The physical activity levels were significantly different among the three HDL-C groups. The amount of physical activity in low HDL-C group was significantly low compared to high HDL-C group (1653.08+/-65.31 MET-min/wk vs. 1916.70+/-102.86 MET-min/wk, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed that the amount of physical activity level in low HDL-C group was significantly lower compared with that of high HDL-C group in Korean adults.

RESUMEN

Objective To analyze the level of blood lipid in healthy Tibetans and Han natives in Lasa through the detection of serum lipids. Methods The serum TC, LDL-C, HDL-C and TG were detected by Hitachi 7060 automatic biochemical analyzer in 13 037 healthy adults (8 163 Tibetan individuals and 4 874 Han individuals). After that, all data were statistically analyzed by age (Tibetan:298 cases of <25 year-old group, 1 136 cases of 25-year-old group, 2 039 cases of 35-year-old group, 2 119 cases of 45-year-old group, 1 580 cases of 55-year-old group, 905 cases of 65-year-old group, 86 cases of ≥75 year-old group; Han population:307 cases of <25 year-old group, 1 254 cases of 25-year-old group, 1 874 cases of 35-year-old group, 1 022 cases of 45-year-old group, 272 cases of 55-year-old group, 129 cases of 65-year-old group, 16 cases of≥75 year-old group), sex (Tibetan: men 4 505 cases, women 3 658 cases; Han population:men 2 976 cases,women 1 898 cases). Results The average TC, HDL-C and LDL-C levels of Tibetans were (5.07 ± 1.10), ( 1.54 ±0. 49) and (3.33 ± 1.31 ) mmol/L respectively while the average levels of Han natives in Lasa were (4. 60 ± 0. 98 ), ( 1.45 ± 0. 44 ) and ( 2. 85 ± 1.0g ) mmol/L, which showed the levels of the Tibetans were higher than the Han natives in each age group(t =24. 78, 10. 53,21.46, P<0.05). The TG levels was 1.38 ( 0. 20-2. 99 ) mmol/L in Tibetans and 1.54 (0.20-2.99)mmol/L in Han natives ( F = 224. 88, P < 0. 05 ). The prevalence of total dyslipidemia was 75. 32% in Tibetans and 69. 02% in Han natives of Lasa. The prevalence of total dyslipidemia was 78. 56% in male and 65.42% in female. There were significant differences in both ethic and sex groups(x2 = 9. 678, 44. 138,P <0. 05). Conclusion The TC, LDL-C levels and prevalence of dylipidemia in Tibetans are higher than the Han residents in Lasa.

RESUMEN

Pre-B-cell leukemia transcription factor 1 (PBX1), which is located on chromosome 1q23, was recently reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We examined whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the PBX1 gene are associated with overweight/obesity in a Korean population. We genotyped 66 SNPs in the PBX1 gene and investigated their association with clinical phenotypes found in 214 overweight/obese subjects and 160 control subjects using the Affymetrix Targeted Genotyping chip array. Seven SNPs (g.+75186C>T, g.+78350C>A, g.+80646C>T, g.+138004C>T, g.+185219G>A, g.+191272A>C, and g.+265317T>A) were associated with the risk of obesity in three models (codominant, dominant, and recessive) (P=0.007-0.05). Haplotype 1 (CAC) and 3 (TAC) of block 3 and haplotype 2 (GGAAT) of block 10 were also strongly associated with the risk of obesity. In the control group, subjects that had homozygote for the major allele for both g.+185219G>A and g.+191272A>C showed lower high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) level compared to those possessing the minor allele, suggesting that the association between the homozygote for the major allele for both g.+185219G>A and g.+191272A>C and HDL-C is attributable to the increased risk of obesity. This study suggests that the PBX1 gene is a possible risk factor in overweight/obese patients.

RESUMEN

Objective To examine the impact of adolescent obesity on circulating visfatin levels, and to analyze the relationship between visfatin and anthropometric indices, insulin sensitivity, and blood lipids in Chinese adolescents (11-18 years). Methods Serum visfatin, adiponectin and lepfin were measured by RIA in 76 nonobese and 72 obese adolescents, and their total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density hpoprotein cholesterol were analyzed with enzymatic methods. OGTT was performed according to the World Health Organization standard procedure in obese adolescents, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and early insulin secretion index (EISI) were calculated. Results The serum visfatin level was significantly higher in obese subjects than in non-obese subjects [(37.65±18.28 vs 29.35±12.10) μg/L, P<0.01]. There were no significant correlations between the serum visfatin concentration and the anthropometrie indices or the lipid parameters in the non-obese group. However, visfatin levels were negatively correlated with age, Tanner stage and EISI, and positively correlated with HDL-C in the obese adolescents. These relationships, except that for EISI and Tanner stage,remained significant (P<0.05) after adjustment for age, gender, and body mass index. Moreover, unlike adiponectin and leptin, visfatin concentration was not correlated with testosterone in non-obese and obese boys.Conclusion Visfatin levels decrease with age and may be related to the HDL-C metabohsm in Chinese obese adolescents.

High density lipoprotein(HDL) is an antiatherogenetic lipoprotein and low level of HDL-cholesterol(HDL-C) in plasma is a risk factor for coronary heart disease.Therefore,raising the level of HDL-C by pharmaceuticals,oestrogen replacement and biologic therapy for dyslipidemia exhibit great clinical significance.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Recently, many large epidemiological studies revealed that total cholesterol (TC)/high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio is a better predictor of risk for coronary heart disease than total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, or low density lipoprotein-cholesterol as a single factor. Our study is designed to examine the factors associated with TC/HDL-C ratio in healthy Korean adults. METHODS: The study involved 6,584 adults who visited the SNUH Health Promotion Center from March 1997 to February 1998. We examined their demographic data, past medical history, smoking habits, alcohol intake and exercise through a questionnaire. Serum lipid levels were checked after 14 hours of fasting. We analyzed the data by analysis of covariance and multiple regression analysis. RESULTS: 3,774 healthy adults (men 1,976, women 1,798) were statistically analyzed. The average TC/HDL-C ratio was 4.2+/-1.2 in men, 3.6+/-1.0 in women. TC/HDL-C ratio was highest in over age 70(4.4+/-1.3), and was increased as BMI, the amount of smoking increased, and was decreased as alcohol intake increased in men. In women, TC/HDL-C ratio was increased as BMI increased, and was lower in exercise groups(3.5+/-1.0) than inactive group(3.7+/-1.0), but there was no difference according to the smoking amount. Regression analyses revealed a positive correlation between TC/HDL-C ratio and BMI, smoking(P<0.05, respectively), and a negative correlation between TC/HDL-C ratio and alcohol intake(P<0.05) in men. In women, there was a positive correlation between TC/HDL-C ratio and BMI, age(P<0.05, respectively), and a negative correlation between TC/HDL-C ratio and exercise amount and alcohol intake(P<0.05, respectively). In both men and women, BMI showed the highest correlation with TC/HDL-C ratio. CONCLUSIONS: BMI, smoking, exercise as well as sex and age are related to TC/HDL-C ratio. Thus, primary physicians should consider correction of these factors.
