Hypertriglyceridemia but not hypercholesterolemia induces endothelial dysfunction in the rat.
In humans, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia induce endothelial dysfunction and therefore lead to atherosclerosis. In contrast, rats are resistant to atherosclerosis. Here we analyze whether rats respond to hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia by developing of endothelial dysfunction. To induce hypercholesterolemiaWistar-Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneous hypertensive (SHR) rats w...
متن کاملMyocardial insulin resistance associated with chronic hypertriglyceridemia and increased FFA levels in Type 2 diabetic patients.
We evaluated the influence of chronic hypertriglyceridemia and endothelial dysfunction on myocardial glucose uptake (MGU) in Type 2 diabetic patients without coronary heart disease. Patients were divided into two groups according to fasting triglyceride (TG) levels: 5.4 +/- 1.1 and 1.5 +/- 0.3 mmol/l for high- and normal-TG groups, respectively. Five subjects were assigned to the high-TG group ...
متن کاملHypertriglyceridemia, insulin resistance, and the metabolic syndrome.
The metabolic syndrome consists of a cluster of metabolic disorders, many of which promote the development of atherosclerosis and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease events. Insulin resistance may lie at the heart of the metabolic syndrome. Elevated serum triglycerides commonly associate with insulin resistance and represent a valuable clinical marker of the metabolic syndrome. Abdomina...
متن کاملNot acute but chronic hypertriglyceridemia is associated with impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation: reversal after lipid-lowering therapy by atorvastatin.
There is controversy regarding the relation between hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and endothelial function. This study was designed to investigate endothelial function in a patient group with chronic HTG, before and during lipid-lowering therapy by atorvastatin. In addition, the effects of acute HTG on endothelial function were studied in normolipidemic individuals. Eight male patients with chroni...
متن کاملInsulin resistance but not inflammation is associated with gestational hypertension.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, are leading causes of pregnancy-associated morbidity. Although insulin resistance and inflammation contribute to preeclampsia, prospective data regarding mechanisms of gestational hypertension are sparse. We conducted a prospective, nested case-control study to test the hypotheses that insulin resistance, ...
