UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Prior studies reported conflicting findings on the association between metabolic syndrome and inflammatory biomarkers. We tested the cross-sectional associations between metabolic syndrome and nine inflammatory markers. METHODS We measured C-reactive protein, CD40 ligand, interleukin-6, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, osteoproteg...

OBJECTIVE It is much debated whether the metabolic syndrome contributes additional information over and above that provided by the individual components of the syndrome alone. Among HIV-infected individuals, we investigated whether any particular combinations of the components included in the definition of the metabolic syndrome are associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)....

Abstract We aimed to study the associations of 5 adipocytokines, two endothelial damage markers, and hs-CRP with MetS components distinguish most significant cytokines likely related distinct metabolic profiles. Methods: Cross-sectional 202 Chilean subjects (18–65 years old), categorized by MetS, No-MetS according Harmonizing ATP III. Adipocytokines profiling included adiponectin, leptin, hs-CR...

PURPOSE To examine the relationship between metabolic syndrome and its components, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure (BP), obesity, and dyslipidemia, with age-related cataract. METHODS A population-based sample of 2794 Malay adults aged 40 to 80 years in Singapore was used for this analysis. Cataract (n = 1268) was defined as the presence of nuclear, cortical, or posterior subcapsular (P...

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels can be affected by many factors and metabolic syndrome is also a candidate. This study examined the relationship between CEA levels and metabolic syndrome using the data of 32,897 healthy Koreans. Fecal occult blood tests were also performed. Subjects with colorectal carcinoma were excluded. Subjects were classified by their smoking status, metabolic syndro...

This paper discusses the prevalence and clinical significance of the metabolic syndrome and considers the importance of lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities in the metabolic syndrome in conferring cardiovascular and metabolic risk. The metabolic syndrome is a multiplex risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic disease. Cardinal components of the metabolic syndrome include obesity (particularl...

The psychosomatic component of the metabolic syndrome, historical aspect problem under study, physiological and biochemical mechanisms pathogenesis are considered in article. symptomatic components syndrome their interrelation outlined, ways diagnosis therapy directions modern research this field outlined.
