High Triglycerides Are Associated with Low Thrombocyte Counts and High VEGF in Nephropathia Epidemica
Nephropathia epidemica (NE) is a mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Several reports have demonstrated a severe alteration in lipoprotein metabolism. However, little is known about changes in circulating lipids in NE. The objectives of this study were to evaluate changes in serum total cholesterol, high density cholesterol (HDCL), and triglycerides. In addition to evaluation of ...
متن کاملLow prevalence of glucokinase gene mutations in gestational diabetic patients with good glycemic control.
Glucokinase (GCK) plays a key role in glucose homeostasis. Gestational diabetes mellitus increases the risk of gestational complications in pregnant women and fetuses. We screened for mutations in coding and flanking regions of the GCK gene in pregnant women with or without gestational diabetes in a Brazilian population. A sample of 200 pregnant women classified as healthy (control, N = 1...
متن کاملIdentification of glucokinase mutations in subjects with gestational diabetes mellitus.
Recent studies have shown that mutations in the glucokinase gene on chromosome 7 can cause an autosomal dominant form of NIDDM with a variable clinical phenotype and onset during childhood. The variable clinical phenotype includes mild fasting hyperglycemia (i.e., a plasma glucose value of > 110 mg/dl, a value that is at least 2-3 SDs above normal), impaired glucose tolerance, gestational diabe...
متن کاملCholesterol remnants and triglycerides are associated with decreased myocardial function in patients with type 2 diabetes
BACKGROUND Recently, genetic studies have suggested a causal relationship between cholesterol remnants and ischemic heart disease. We aimed to determine whether cholesterol remnants and its marker, triglyceride levels, are associated with cardiac function as determined by sensitive echocardiographic measures in a population of patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Comprehensive echocardiogra...
متن کاملSAMHD1 Gene Mutations Are Associated with Cerebral Large-Artery Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND To investigate whether one or more SAMHD1 gene mutations are associated with cerebrovascular disease in the general population using a Chinese stroke cohort. METHODS Patients with a Chinese Han background (N = 300) diagnosed with either cerebral large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA, n = 100), cerebral small vessel disease (SVD, n = 100), or other stroke-free neurological disorders (co...
