Association between serum Klotho and oxidative stress in metabolically healthy obese individuals / 安徽医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the association between serum Klotho and oxidative stress in metabolically healthy obese individuals. Methods 180 physicalexamination subjects were investigated. They were devided into 3 groups60 cases of normal weight and metabolic normality,60 cases of metabolically healthy but obese( MHO) ,60 cases of obesity with metabolic syndrome. Fasting blood glucose(FBG),2 h blood glucose(2 hBG),triglyceride ( TG) ,high densitylipoprotein cholesterol( HDL-C) , systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure,body height, body weight,waist circumference,body mass index( BMI) were recorded. Malondialdehyde( MDA) ,superoxide dis-mutase( SOD) ,total antioxidation capacity( TAOC) ,Klotho were detected by ELISA. The difference of clinical pa-rameters,metabolic parameters,oxidative stress and Klotho among these three groups was compared by the methods of covariance analysis. Regression analysis and pearson correlation were used to evaluate the relationship of Klotho with oxidative stress. Results Compared with the control group, TAOC, SOD, Klotho were decreased significantly while MDA elevated significantly in both MHO group and obesity with metabolic syndrome group(P<0. 05). Com-pared with MHO group, TAOC, Klotho were significantly lower in obesity with metabolic syndrome ( P<0. 05 ) . Klotho protein was significantly positively associated with SOD, TAOC, negatively associated with waist circumfer-ence,BMI,FBG,2 hBG(r= -0. 182,-0. 225,-0. 221,-0. 202,-0. 188,P<0. 05). SOD,TAOC were deter-minants for Klotho. Conclusion The balancebetween oxidative and antioxidative system is disturbed in subjects with MHO. Klotho protein may maintain the normal metabolism of thebody by regulating the oxidative stress.
