ABSTRACT

Introducción Recientemente se ha demostrado una relación inversa entre la concentración en sangre de la lipoproteína(a) (Lp[a]) y los triglicéridos (TG). A mayor tamaño de lipoproteínas de muy baja densidad (VLDL), mayor presencia de VLDL ricas en apoliproteína E (apo E) y en sujetos con genotipo apo E2/E2, Lp(a) más baja. El mecanismo de esta asociación contrapuesta es desconocido. El objetivo de nuestro análisis fue evaluar la correspondencia Lp(a)-TG en los pacientes atendidos en las Unidades de Lípidos incluidos en el registro de la Sociedad Española de Arteriosclerosis (SEA) comparando las diferentes dislipidemias. Pacientes y métodos Se incluyeron 5.275 usuarios de ≥ 18 años registrados antes del 31 de marzo de 2023, con datos de concentración de Lp(a) e información completa del perfil lipídico sin tratamiento. Resultados La media de edad fue de 53,0 ± 14,0 años, con 48% de mujeres. Un total de 9,5% (n = 502) tenían diabetes mellitus (DM) y 1.184 sujetos (22,4%) presentaban obesidad. La mediana de TG fue de 130 mg/dL (rango intercuartílico [IQR] 88,0-210) y de Lp(a) 55,0 nmol/L (IQR 17,9 -156). La concentración de Lp(a) mostró una asociación negativa con la de TG cuando los valores de estos superaban los 300 mg/dL. Los pacientes con TG > 1.000 mg/dL mostraron el menor nivel de Lp(a) 17,9 nmol/L y los usuarios con TG < 300 mg/dL, presentaron una media de Lp(a) de 60,1 nmol/L. En pacientes sin DM ni obesidad, la relación inversa de Lp(a)-TG fue especialmente importante (p < 0,001). La mediana de Lp(a) fue de 58,3 nmol/L en aquellos con TG < 300 mg/dL y 22,0 nmol/L si TG > 1.000 mg/dL. No se encontró asociación entre TG y Lp(a) en sujetos con DM y obesidad, ni en los que contaban con hipercolesterolemia familiar (HF). En los que padecen hiperlipemia combinada multifactorial con TG < 300 mg/dL la Lp(a) fue 64,6 nmol/L, en el rango de 300-399 mg/dL de TG la Lp(a) desciende hasta 38,8 nmol/L y hasta 22,3 nmol/L si TG > 1.000 mg/dL.

Patients and methods Five thousand two hundred and seventy-five subjects ≥18 years of age registered in the registry before March 31, 2023, with Lp(a) concentration data and complete lipid profile information without treatment were included. Results The mean age was 53.0 ± 14.0 years, with 48% women. The 9.5% of subjects (n = 502) had diabetes and the 22.4% (n = 1184) were obese.

ABSTRACT

Cancer cells modify lipid metabolism to proliferate, Passiflora edulis ( P. edulis ) fruit juice (ZuFru) has antitumor activity, but whether a mechanism is through modulation of cell lipids is unknown. T o establish if ZuFru modifies cholesterol and triglycerides in SW480 and SW620. ZuFru composition was studied by phytochemical march; antiproliferative activity by sulforhodamine B, cholesterol , and triglycerides by Folch method. Z ufru contains anthocyanins, flavonoids, alkaloids , and tannins. Cell lines showed differences in their growth rate ( p =0.049). At 39.6 µg/m L of ZuFru, cell viability was decreased: SW480 (45.6%) and SW620 (45.1%). In SW480, cholesterol (44.6%) and triglycerides (46.5%) decreased; In SW620, cholesterol decreased 14.8% and triglycerides increased 7%, with significant differences for both lines. A ntiproliferative activity of ZuFru could be associated with the inhibition of intracellular biosynthesis of cholesterol and triglycerides in SW480. Action mechanisms need to be further investigated.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Recently, an inverse relationship between the blood concentration of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) and triglycerides (TG) has been demonstrated. The larger the VLDL particle size, the greater the presence of VLDL rich in apoliprotein E and in subjects with the apoE2/E2 genotype, the lower Lp(a) concentration. The mechanism of this inverse association is unknown. The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the Lp(a)-TG association in patients treated at the lipid units included in the registry of the Spanish Society of Atherosclerosis (SEA) by comparing the different dyslipidemias. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Five thousand two hundred and seventy-five subjects ≥18 years of age registered in the registry before March 31, 2023, with Lp(a) concentration data and complete lipid profile information without treatment were included. RESULTS: The mean age was 53.0 ± 14.0 years, with 48% women. The 9.5% of subjects (n = 502) had diabetes and the 22.4% (n = 1184) were obese. The median TG level was 130 mg/dL (IQR 88.0-210) and Lp(a) 55.0 nmol/L (IQR 17.9-156). Lp(a) concentration showed a negative association with TG concentration when TG values exceeded 300 mg/dL. Subjects with TG > 1000 mg/dL showed the lowest level of Lp(a), 17.9 nmol/L, and subjects with TG < 300 mg/dL had a mean Lp(a) concentration of 60.1 nmol/L. In subjects without diabetes or obesity, the inverse association of Lp(a)-TG was especially important (p < 0.001). The median Lp(a) was 58.3 nmol/L in those with TG < 300 mg/dL and 22.0 nmol/L if TG > 1000 mg/dL. No association was found between TG and Lp(a) in subjects with diabetes and obesity, nor in subjects with familial hypercholesterolemia. In subjects with multifactorial combined hyperlipemia with TG < 300 mg/dL, Lp(a) was 64.6 nmol/L; in the range of 300-399 mg/dL of TG, Lp(a) decreased to 38. 8 nmol/L, and up to 22.3 nmol/L when TG > 1000 mg/dL. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show an inverse Lp(a)-TG relationship in TG concentrations > 300 mg/dL in subjects without diabetes, obesity and without familial hypercholesterolemia. Our results suggest that, in those hypertriglyceridemias due to hepatic overproduction of VLDL, the formation of Lp(a) is reduced, unlike those in which the peripheral catabolism of TG-rich lipoproteins is reduced.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La resistencia a la insulina (RI) es una de las principales causas del desarrollo de patologías crónicas. Es indispensable su detección temprana, por ello es importante estudiar métodos más asequibles y menos costosos como los biomarcadores. Objetivo: Determinar la precisión diagnóstica de once biomarcadores para RI en una muestra de pobladores peruanos. Metodología: Estudio de pruebas diagnósticas. Análisis de base de datos secundario del estudio PERU MIGRANT. Para medir RI se utilizó como referencia la evaluación del modelo homeostático (HOMA-IR) ≥ 2,8. Los biomarcadores se basaron en la ratio de lípidos, los indicadores de lípido visceral, los indicadores con triglicéridos y glucosa (TyG), y los indicadores con cintura abdominal. Para la precisión se utilizó el análisis de la curva de características operativas del receptor y el área bajo la curva (AUC) con sus respectivos intervalos de confianza al 95% (IC95%). Resultados: Se estudió a 938 participantes. La prevalencia de RI fue del 9,91%. En relación con el análisis ROC, el índice TyG - índice de masa corporal (TyG - IMC) tuvo el mayor AUC, tanto en hombres: AUC=0,85 (0,81 - 0,90), corte=241,55; sens=92,5 (79,6 - 98,4) y esp=78,3 (73,9 - 82,2); como en mujeres: AUC=0,81 (0,76 - 0,85), corte=258,77; sens=79,2 (70,3 - 86,5) y esp= 82,1 (78,0 - 85,8). Discusión: Según los datos analizados, el índice TyG-IMC es el mejor indicador para medir RI. Es un índice simple que se puede tomar de manera rutinaria en la práctica clínica diaria. Es conveniente añadir futuros estudios prospectivos que confirmen su capacidad predictiva.


Introduction: Insulin resistance (IR) is one of the main causes of chronic disease. Early detection is essential, which is why it is important to study more affordable and less expensive methods, such as biomarkers. Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of 11 biomarkers of IR in a sample of Peruvian residents. Method: diagnostic tests. Secondary Database Analysis of the PERU-MIGRANT Study. To measure RI, a homeostatic model evaluation (HOMA-IR) ≥ 2.8 was used as a reference. Biomarkers were based on the lipid ratio, visceral lipid indicators, indicators of triglycerides and glucose (TyG), and indicators of abdominal waist. For precision, the receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were used. Results: A total of 938 participants were studied. The prevalence of IR was 9.91%. In relation to the ROC analysis, the TyG index - body mass index (TyG - BMI) had the highest AUC, both in men: AUC=0.85 (0.81 - 0.90), cut-off=241.55; sens=92.5 (79.6 - 98.4) and sp=78.3 (73.9 - 82.2); as in women: AUC=0.81 (0.76 - 0.85), cut-off=258.77; sens=79.2 (70.3 - 86.5) and esp= 82.1 (78.0 - 85.8). Discussion: According to the data analyzed, the TyG-IMC index is the best indicator for measuring IR. It is a simple index that can be routinely used in clinical practice. Future prospective studies are needed to confirm its predictive capacity.

ABSTRACT

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) continue to be the main cause of death in our country. Adequate control of lipid metabolism disorders is a key challenge in cardiovascular prevention that is far from being achieved in real clinical practice. There is a great heterogeneity in the reports of lipid metabolism from Spanish clinical laboratories, which may contribute to its poor control. For this reason, a working group of the main scientific societies involved in the care of patients at vascular risk, has prepared this document with a consensus proposal on the determination of the basic lipid profile in cardiovascular prevention, recommendations for its realization and unification of criteria to incorporate the lipid control goals appropriate to the vascular risk of the patients in the laboratory reports.

ABSTRACT

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) siguen siendo la principal causa de muerte en nuestro país. El control adecuado de las alteraciones del metabolismo lipídico es un reto clave en prevención cardiovascular que está lejos de alcanzarse en la práctica clínica real. Existe una gran heterogeneidad en los informes del metabolismo lipídico de los laboratorios clínicos españoles, lo que puede contribuir al mal control del mismo. Por ello, un grupo de trabajo de las principales sociedades científicas implicadas en la atención de los pacientes de riesgo vascular hemos elaborado este documento con una propuesta básica de consenso sobre la determinación del perfil lipídico básico en prevención cardiovascular, recomendaciones para su realización y unificación de criterios para incorporar los objetivos de control lipídico adecuados al riesgo vascular de los pacientes en los informes de laboratorio (AU)

ABSTRACT

En los pacientes que han alcanzado un control óptimo del c-LDL persiste un riesgo residual de enfermedad cardiovascular aterotrombótica (ECVA) relacionado con alteraciones del metabolismo lipídico, entre las que las alteraciones de las lipoproteínas ricas en triglicéridos y del colesterol que contienen, denominado colesterol remanente, juegan un papel principal. El colesterol remanente tiene una relación con el riesgo residual de ECVA que es independiente del c-LDL y ha sido demostrada en los estudios epidemiológicos y de aleatorización mendeliana, y en los análisis de los ensayos clínicos con fármacos hipolipidemiantes. Las partículas remanentes de las lipoproteínas ricas en triglicéridos son altamente aterogénicas, por su capacidad de entrar y ser retenidas en la pared arterial, su alto contenido en colesterol y su capacidad de generar células espumosas y una respuesta inflamatoria. La valoración del colesterol remanente puede aportar información sobre el riesgo residual de ECVA más allá de la información aportada por el c-LDL, el c-no HDL y la apoB, en particular en los individuos con hipertrigliceridemia, diabetes tipo 2 o síndrome metabólico. En el estudio REDUCE-IT se demostró que el icosapento de etilo tiene un efecto preventivo frente a la ECVA en los pacientes de muy alto riesgo cardiovascular con hipertrigliceridemia tratados con estatinas y con un c-LDL en objetivos. Los nuevos fármacos hipolipidemiantes contribuirán a definir la eficacia y los criterios en el tratamiento del exceso de colesterol remanente y de la hipertrigliceridemia en la prevención de la ECVA.(AU)


In patients who have achieved optimal LDL-C control, there remains a residual risk of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) related to alterations in lipid metabolism, where alterations in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and the cholesterol they contain, called remnant cholesterol, play a major role. Remnant cholesterol has an association with residual risk of ACVD that is independent of LDL-C and has been demonstrated in epidemiological and Mendelian randomisation studies, and in analyses of clinical trials of lipid-lowering drugs. Remnant triglyceride-rich lipoproteins particles are highly atherogenic, due to their ability to enter and be retained in the arterial wall, their high cholesterol content, and their ability to generate “foam cells” and an inflammatory response. Assessment of remnant cholesterol may provide information on residual risk of ACVD beyond the information provided by LDL-C, Non-HDL-C, and apoB, particularly in individuals with hypertriglyceridaemia, type 2 diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. In the REDUCE-IT study, icosapent ethyl was shown to have a preventive effect against ACVD in very high cardiovascular risk patients with hypertriglyceridaemia treated with statins and target LDL-C. New lipid-lowering drugs will help to define efficacy and criteria in the treatment of excess remnant cholesterol and hypertriglyceridaemia in the prevention of ACVD.(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción : La hipertrigliceridemia grave (HTGG) es un desorden metabólico con múltiples causas e implicancias tera péuticas. Se desconocen hasta la fecha las características clínicas, la prevalencia y sus posibles causas en nuestra población. Objetivo : estimar la prevalencia, describir las características clínicas y causas subyacentes de la HTGG en un hospital de tercer nivel del municipio de General Pueyrredón. Materia y métodos : Estudio descriptivo y observacional realizado con pacientes ambulatorios e internados de un hospital provincial. Se incluyeron pacientes adultos con triglicéridos (TG) mayores que 885 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) evaluados desde enero de 2018 a diciembre de 2021. Se extrajeron sus historias clínicas y, luego, se los contactó para obtener medidas antro pométricas, variables sociodemográficas, antecedentes personales y familiares, causas secundarias de hipertrigliceridemia y el tratamiento recibido. Resultados : Se analizaron 16 029 muestras; 46 presentaron HTGG, lo que representa una prevalencia total del 0,28% (IC 95% 0,20-0,40%) (IC 95% 0,20-0,40%); se incluyeron 19 participantes en el análisis. La edad media fue de 48,47 años (DE ±16); el 84,2% de ellos eran hombres. La mediana de triglicéridos fue 1821 mg/dL (rango intercuartílico 917-7000 mg/dL); 17 participantes (84,97%) presentaban hipercolesterolemia (colesterol total mayor que 200 mg/dL). Casi el 50% refirió consumo de alcohol, el 55% presentaba obesidad y el 68% diabetes tipo II. Solo 9 participantes se encontraban en tratamiento, 4 con fibratos y 5 con estatinas. Conclusión : se encontró una prevalencia del 0,28%, más alta que la esperada y reportada en series previas. Por otro lado, se destaca la subutilización de medicación para el tratamiento de esta dislipidemia grave.


ABSTRACT Background : Severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG) is a metabolic disorder with multiple origins and management implications. Prevalence, clinical characteristics, and its possible causes are unknown in Argentina. Objective : The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and describe the clinical characteristics and underlying SHTG causes in a third level hospital in the municipality of General Pueyrredón. Methods : An observational, descriptive study was performed using an electronic database from a provincial Hospital. It included adult patients with triglyceride (TG) levels above 885 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) evaluated from January 2018 to December 2021. Medical records were collected, and patients were then contacted to obtain anthropometric measurements, sociodemographic variables, personal and family history, secondary causes of hypertriglyceridemia, and treatment received. Results : Among 16 029 patients analyzed, 46 presented SHTG, representing a total prevalence of 0.28% (95% CI 0.20-0.40%). Finally, 19 participants with mean age 48.47±16 years and 84.2% men were included in the analysis. Median TG level was 1821 mg/dL (interquartile range 917-7000 mg/dL), and 17 participants (84.97%) had hypercholesterolemia (total cholesterol >200 mg/dL). Almost 50% reported alcohol consumption, 55% were obese and 68% had type II diabetes. Nine participants were under pharmacological treatment, 4 with fibrates and 5 with statins. Conclusion : A prevalence of 0.28% SHTG was found, higher than that reported in other series. Another finding was the underuse of medication for this severe dyslipidemia.

ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivos: Las enfermedades cardiovasculares continúan encabezando la mortalidad en España. Las técnicas de análisis geoestadístico en el laboratorio clínico son herramientas innovadoras que permiten el diseño de nuevas estrategias en prevención primaria de enfermedad cardiovascular. El objetivo fue estudiar la prevalencia y geolocalización de dislipidemias en las áreas sanitarias de estudio para implementar estrategias de prevención en atención primaria. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo de los niveles de colesterol unido a proteínas de baja densidad, triglicéridos y lipoproteína (a) en los años 2019 y 2020. Además, se realizó un análisis geoestadístico que incluyó la representación en mapas coropléticos y la detección de clústeres de agrupación; para ello, se utilizó la información geográfica en formato de código postal incluida en los datos demográficos de cada analítica. Resultados: Los datos analíticos incluidos en el estudio fueron triglicéridos (n=365.384), colesterol unido a proteínas de baja densidad (n=289.594) y lipoproteína (a) (n=502). Se identificaron las áreas con mayor y menor porcentaje de casos para los puntos de corte establecidos de cLDL> 190mg/dl y TG> 150mg/dl. Se detectaron 2clústeres de agrupación con significación estadística para cLDL> 190mg/dl y un total de 6 clústeres para los valores de TG> 150mg/dl. Conclusiones: La detección de clústeres, así como la representación de mapas coropléticos, pueden ser de gran ayuda en la detección de áreas geográficas que requieran de mayor atención para intervenir en el riesgo cardiovascular.(A)U


Introduction and objectives: Cardiovascular diseases continue to lead the ranking of mortality in Spain. The implementation of geostatistical analysis techniques in the clinical laboratory are innovative tools that allow the design of new strategies in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to study the prevalence and geolocation of severe dyslipidemia in the health areas under study in order to implement prevention strategies in primary care. A retrospective cohort study of low-density protein-bound cholesterol, triglyceride and lipoprotein (a) levels in the years 2019 and 2020 were carried out. In addition, a geostatistical analysis was performed including representation in choropleth maps and the detection of clustering clusters, using geographic information in zip code format included in the demographic data of each analytic. Results: The analytical data included in the study were triglycerides (n=365,384), low density protein-bound cholesterol (n=289,594) and lipoprotein to lipoprotein (a) (n=502). Areas with the highest and lowest percentage of cases were identified for the established cut-off points of LDL-C>190mg/dL and TG>150mg/dL. Two clustering clusters with statistical significance were detected for cLDL>190mg/dL and a total of 6 clusters for TG values>150mg/dL. Conclusions: The detection of clusters, as well as the representation of choropleth maps, can be of great help in detecting geographic areas that require greater attention to intervene and improve cardiovascular risk.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) siguen siendo la principal causa de muerte en nuestro país. El control adecuado de las alteraciones del metabolismo lipídico es un reto clave en prevención cardiovascular que está lejos de alcanzarse en la práctica clínica real. Existe una gran heterogeneidad en los informes del metabolismo lipídico de los laboratorios clínicos españoles, lo que puede contribuir al mal control del mismo. Por ello, un grupo de trabajo de las principales sociedades científicas implicadas en la atención de los pacientes de riesgo vascular hemos elaborado este documento con una propuesta básica de consenso sobre la determinación del perfil lipídico básico en prevención cardiovascular, recomendaciones para su realización y unificación de criterios para incorporar los objetivos de control lipídico adecuados al riesgo vascular de los pacientes en los informes de laboratorio.(AU)


Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) continue to be the main cause of death in our country. Adequate control of lipid metabolism disorders is a key challenge in cardiovascular prevention that is far from being achieved in real clinical practice. There is a great heterogeneity in the reports of lipid metabolism from Spanish clinical laboratories, which may contribute to its poor control. For this reason, a working group of the main scientific societies involved in the care of patients at vascular risk, has prepared this document with a consensus proposal on the determination of the basic lipid profile in cardiovascular prevention, recommendations for its realization and unification of criteria to incorporate the lipid control goals appropriate to the vascular risk of the patients in the laboratory reports.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la relación de triglicéridos basales, con el riesgo a desarrollar enfermedades cardiovasculares en mujeres posmenopáusicas. Método: Estudio descriptivo, observacional y transversal, donde a 31 pacientes posmenopáusicas y sin antecedentes de enfermedades cardiometabólicas, se les determinó parámetros antropométricos (peso, talla, índice de masa corporal -IMC-); perfil lipídico en ayunas (colesterol total, triglicéridos o TG, lipoproteínas de baja y alta densidad -LDL, HDL-), por método enzimático colorimétrico, apolipoproteína B 100 (Apo B-100) por inmunodifusión radial, índices matemáticos LDL/Apo B-100y TG/HDL y cálculo de colesterol no-HDL. Resultados: los promedio y desviación de las variables fueron: edad:59±5 años con tiempo de posmenopausia: 8,77±3,92 años; IMC:27,6±4,4 kg/m.; colesterol total: 194±36 mg/dl; triglicéridos: 85±35 mg/dl; HDL: 33±8 mg/dl; LDL: 144±33 mg/dl; no-HDL: 159±37 mg/dl; Apo B-100: 172±246 mg/dl; LDL/Apo B-100: 1,15±0,03 y TG/HDL: 4,46±1,28. Discusión: Las pacientes se encontraron con sobrepeso, triglicéridos normales, colesterol total y LDL aumentado y las HDL bajas. El LDL-C/Apo B-100-100, que se relaciona con el tamaño y densidad de LDL, estuvo por debajo de 1,3 indicando la presencia de partículas pequeñas-densas, mientras TG/HDL, que se usa para estimar riesgo cardiovascular, estuvo por encima del corte establecido de 3,5. Conclusiones: Al relacionar los triglicéridos basales con LDL/Apo B-100 y TG/HDL, se observa que a partir del valor de triglicéridos de 100 mg/dl, se observa la presencia de partículas de lipoproteínas pequeñas-densas, y un alto riesgo cardiovascular, por lo que es necesario en mujeres posmenopáusicas el seguimiento a partir del valor de triglicéridos en 100 mg/dL ya que pudiera implicar el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares, en esta población(AU)


Objective: To determine the relationship of basal triglycerides with the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women. Method: Descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study, where 31 postmenopause patients with no history of cardiometabolic disease were determined anthropometric parameters (weight, height, BMI); fasting lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglycerides or TG, LDL,HDL, by colorimetric enzymatic method), Apo B-100 (byradial immunodiffusion), LDL/Apo B-100 and TG/HDL mathematical indices and calculation of non-HDL cholesterol. Results: the mean and deviation of the variables were: age:59±5 years with postmenopause time: 8.77±3.92 years; BMI:27.6±4.4 kg/m2; total cholesterol: 194±36 mg/dl; triglycerides:85±35 mg/dl; HDL: 33±8 mg/dl; LDL: 144±33 mg/dl; non-HDL: 159±37 mg/dl; Apo B-100: 172±246 mg/dl; LDL/Apo B-100: 1.15±0.03 and TG/HDL: 4.46±1.28. Discussion: Patients were found to be overweight, normal triglycerides, total and LDL cholesterol high, and low HDL. LDL-C/ApoB-100-100, which is related to LDL size and density, was below 1.3 indicating the presence of small-dense particles, while TG/HDL, which is used to estimate cardiovascular risk, was above the established cut-off of 3.5. Conclusions: When relating the basal triglycerides with LDL/Apo B-100 and TG/HDL, it is observed that from the triglyceride value of 100mg/dl, the presence of small-dense lipoprotein particuals anda high cardiovascular risk is observed, so it is necessary in postmenopausal women to follow up from the triglycerid evalue in 100 mg/dL since it could imply the development of cardiovascular diseases, in this population(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Obesity has been shown to be associated with low levels of soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the levels of sRAGE and its association with the lipid index in children with obesity. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of children with obesity aged between six and 11 years. Anthropometric measurements, glucose, lipid profile, insulin and sRAGE were evaluated; body mass index, total cholesterol/high-density cholesterol (TC/HDL-C), triglycerides/glucose (TG/glucose), and triglycerides/HDL-C (TG-HDL-C) ratios and HOMA-IR were also calculated. RESULTS: Eighty children were studied, among which 50% were males and 50% females. Females had higher values for waist circumference, HOMA-IR, and TG/HDL-C and TG/glucose ratios. No significant differences were found for sRAGE. When the variables were compared according to TG/HDL-C ratio tertiles, higher TC/HDL, TG/glucose, and sRAGE values were found at upper tertile. A significant correlation was observed between sRAGE and HOMA-IR (p < 0.03) in males, and between sRAGE and TG/HDL-C (p < 0.01) and TG/glucose ratios (p < 0.008) in females. CONCLUSIONS: The female gender showed more cardiovascular risk factors and higher sRAGE at TG/HDL-C upper tertile. Further studies are required to test the possible predictive effect of higher risk for developing metabolic and cardiovascular complications.


INTRODUCCIÓN: Se ha mostrado que la obesidad está asociada a niveles bajos de la forma soluble del receptor para productos finales de glicación avanzada (sRAGE). OBJETIVO: Evaluar los niveles de sRAGE y su asociación con el índice lipídico en niños con obesidad. MÉTODOS: Estudio transversal de niños de seis a 11 años de edad con obesidad. Se evaluaron medidas antropométricas, glucosa, perfil lipídico, insulina y sRAGE; también se calculó índice de masa corporal, colesterol total/C-HDL, triglicéridos/glucosa, triglicéridos/C-HDL y HOMA-IR. RESULTADOS: Se estudiaron 80 niños, 50 % hombres y 50 % mujeres. Las mujeres presentaron mayor perímetro de cintura, HOMA-IR, triglicéridos/C-HDL y triglicéridos/glucosa. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en sRAGE. Al comparar las variables conforme a los terciles de la relación triglicéridos/C-HDL, en el tercil superior se encontraron mayores valores de colesterol total/HDL, triglicéridos/glucosa y sRAGE. Se observó correlación significativa entre sRAGE y HOMA-IR (p < 0.03) en los hombres y entre sRAGE, triglicéridos/C-HDL (p < 0.01) y triglicéridos/glucosa (p < 0.008) en las mujeres. CONCLUSIONES: El sexo femenino mostró más factores de riesgo cardiovascular y mayor sRAGE en el tercil superior de triglicéridos/C-HDL. Se requieren más estudios para probar el posible efecto predictor de mayor riesgo para desarrollar complicaciones metabólicas y cardiovasculares.

ABSTRACT

In patients who have achieved optimal LDL-C control, there remains a residual risk of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) related to alterations in lipid metabolism, where alterations in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and the cholesterol they contain, called remnant cholesterol, play a major role. Remnant cholesterol has an association with residual risk of ACVD that is independent of LDL-C and has been demonstrated in epidemiological and Mendelian randomisation studies, and in analyses of clinical trials of lipid-lowering drugs. Remnant triglyceride-rich lipoproteins particles are highly atherogenic, due to their ability to enter and be retained in the arterial wall, their high cholesterol content, and their ability to generate "foam cells" and an inflammatory response. Assessment of remnant cholesterol may provide information on residual risk of ACVD beyond the information provided by LDL-C, Non-HDL-C, and apoB, particularly in individuals with hypertriglyceridaemia, type 2 diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. In the REDUCE-IT study, icosapent ethyl was shown to have a preventive effect against ACVD in very high cardiovascular risk patients with hypertriglyceridaemia treated with statins and target LDL-C. New lipid-lowering drugs will help to define efficacy and criteria in the treatment of excess remnant cholesterol and hypertriglyceridaemia in the prevention of ACVD.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: En México la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) presenta niveles epidemiológicos, con una tasa de prevalencia del 9,12% y con los índices de sobrepeso y obesidad más altos del mundo. Para superar esta situación se deben crear estrategias enfocadas en la identificación de sujetos en riesgo. El índice triglicéridos y glucosa (TyG) fue creado para la detección de la resistencia a la insulina, y recientemente se ha empleado en la predicción de diabetes mellitus. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar el poder predictivo del índice TyG en una cohorte de la Ciudad de México.MétodosSe seleccionaron 3.195 pacientes de una cohorte de pacientes del área de crónico degenerativos de los Centros de Salud de los Servicios de Salud Pública de la Ciudad de México. Se evaluó la capacidad del índice TyG en la predicción de diabetes calculado como: ln (triglicéridos en ayunas [mg/dl]×glucosa en ayunas [mg/dl]/2) después de un seguimiento de al menos 4,5 años. Se determinó una prueba Chi-squared automated interaction detector analysis, que fue corroborada por una prueba ROC.ResultadosEl valor del índice de TyG fue significativamente mayor para los pacientes que desarrollar DM2. Los valores de área bajo la curva=0,934, intervalo de confianza (IC) 95%=0,924-0,924. Obteniendo un punto de corte de 9,45 en mujeres; en hombres: DM AUC=0.824, IC 95%=0,824-0,873 punto de corte 9.12.ConclusionesEl índice TyG es un buen marcador en la predicción de DM2 respaldado por la aplicación del algoritmo CHAID como herramienta útil para la predicción de DM2.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Introduction: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a disease in which there is excessive fat deposition in hepatocytes due to hepatoprotective factors. Objectives: to assess the association of the triglyceride-glucose index with the occurrence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and mortality in elderly inpatients. To identify the TyG index as a predictive factor of NAFLD. Methods: this prospective observational study included elderly inpatients admitted to the Department of Endocrinology at the Linyi Geriatrics Hospital, Affiliated to Shandong Medical College, between August 2020 and April 2021. The TyG index was calculated according to an established formula: TyG = Ln [triglycerides (TG) (mg/dl) × Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (mg/dl) / 2]. Result: a total of 264 patients were enrolled, with 52 (19.7 %) cases occurred NAFLD. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TyG (OR = 3.889; 95 % CI: 1.134-11.420; p = 0.014) and ALT (OR = 1.064; 95 % CI: 1.012-1.118; p = 0.015) were independently associated with the occurrence of NAFLD. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of TyG was 0.727, with sensitivity = 80.4 % and specificity = 57.8 % at cut off = 8.71. A Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that, after adjusting for age, sex, smoking, drinking, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes, TyG > 8.71 (HR = 3.191; 95 % CI: 1.347 to 7.560; p < 0.001) was an independent risk factor for mortality in the elderly. Conclusions: the TyG index can predict non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and mortality in elderly Chinese inpatients.


Introducción: Introducción: la enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico (EHGNA) es una enfermedad en la que una cantidad excesiva de grasa se acumula en los hepatocitos debido a factores hepatoprotectores. Objetivos: evaluar la asociación entre el índice glucemia-triglicéridos con la presencia de hígado graso no alcohólico (EHGNA) y mortalidad en pacientes hospitalizados de avanzada edad. Identificar el índice TyG como factor predictivo de la EHGNA. Métodos: este estudio observacional y prospectivo incluyó a pacientes de avanzada edad hospitalizados en el Departamento de Endocrinología del Hospital de Geriatría de Linyi, Afiliado al Colegio Médico de Shandong, entre agosto de 2020 y abril de 2021. El índice TyG se calculó según una fórmula establecida: TyG = Ln [triglicéridos (TG) (mg/dl) × Glucosa en sangre en ayunas (FPG) (mg/dl) / 2]. Resultado: se incluyeron 264 pacientes, con 52 (19,7 %) casos de EHGNA. El análisis de regresión logística multivariante mostró que el TyG (razón de momios (OR) = 3,889; intervalo de confianza del 95 %: 1,134-11,420; p = 0,014) y ALT (razón de momios (OR) = 1,064; intervalo de confianza del 95 %: 1,012-1,118; p = 0,015) se asociaban de forma independiente con la aparición de EHGNA. Además, el análisis de la curva de características operativas del receptor (ROC) mostró que el área bajo la curva (AUC) de TyG era de 0,727, con una sensibilidad del 80,4 % y una especificidad del 57,8 % en el punto de corte de 8,71. El modelo de regresión de riesgos proporcionales de Cox mostró que, tras ajustar por edad, sexo, tabaquismo, consumo de alcohol, hipertensión y diabetes tipo 2, un TyG > 8,71 (HR = 3,191; intervalo de confianza del 95 %: 1,347 a 7,560; p < 0,001) era un factor de riesgo independiente de mortalidad para los paciente de edad avanzada. Conclusiones: el índice TyG puede predecir la enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico y la mortalidad en pacientes chinos hospitalizados de avanzada edad.
