Serum Free Fatty Acids Composition, Waist/Hip Ratio and insulin activity in Patients with Essential Hypertension / 中华高血压杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship of fasting serum FFA composition with central obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, levels of serum zinc and age, gender-related differences. Methods Serum FFA were determined by high performance liquid chromatogram in 232 commuity|based subjects aged between 35 and 55 years 109 hypertensives, 123 normotensives. Results Multivariate stepwise linear regression models and correlation analysis showed that serum FFA composition (including levels of n3PUFA, P/S ratio, C205/C183, C226/C205 and C204/C182 ratio) were linearly correlated with waist/ hip ratio, insulin sensitivity index, levels of serum zinc and related to the habit of diet (all P
