BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MS) occurs frequently in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). We hypothesized that aldosterone levels are elevated in OSAHS and associated with the presence of MS. METHODS We studied 66 patients with OSAHS (33 with MS and 33 without MS) and 35 controls. The occurrence of the MS was analyzed according to the National Cholesterol Educat...

metabolic syndrome is a chronic low-grade inflammation condition which is associated with central obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and hypertension. inflammation in metabolic syndrome is not only associated with elevated serum inflammatory markers, such as c-reactive protein (crp), but also, is associated with low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue and releasing of adipokines. higher...

background: the aim of this study was to examine the interaction of dietary food groups and genetic variants of apoa1/apoc3, relative to metabolic syndrome (mets) risk in adults. methods: in this matched nested case-control study, 414 mets subjects and 414 controls were selected from among participants of tehran lipid and glucose study. dietary intake was assessed with the use of a valid and re...

introduction: metabolic syndrome constitutes a cluster of risk factors such as obesity, hyperglycemia,  hypertension, and dyslipidemia, which increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type ii diabetes mellitus. in this review article, we aimed to discuss the possible effects of fasting and regular physical activity on risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.  methods: online databases i...

conclusions there is a relationship between depression and metabolic syndrome. results seventeen studies were analyzed with a sample size of 31880 people. analysis by the type of studies showed that the relationship between the two variables in cross-sectional studies (or = 1.51, ci 95% = 1.36 - 1.68) and cohort studies (or = 1.6, ci 95% = 1.23 - 2.08) was significant. in general, the heterogen...

OBJECTIVE Insulin resistance (IR) is an important risk factor for type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a clustering of metabolic alterations associated to IR; however, there is no international consensus for defining its diagnosis. Our objective was to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of MS identified by the ATP III and IDF crite...

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between nutritional status and prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in middle-school students in the city of Montes Claros - MG. The sample consisted of 382 students, aged 10-16 years. Nutritional status was evaluated using the Body Mass Index (BMI). Metabolic syndrome (MS) was defined as the presence of two or more criteria in accordanc...

OBJECTIVE To investigate cut-off values for HOMA1-IR and HOMA2-IR to identify insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic syndrome (MS), and to assess the association of the indexes with components of the MS. METHODS Nondiabetic subjects from the Brazilian Metabolic Syndrome Study were studied (n = 1,203, 18 to 78 years). The cut-off values for IR were determined from the 90th percentile in the hea...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major public health problem for developed and developing countries and is the single leading cause of death worldwide. OBJECTIVES There is very few evidence regarding changes of both serum Lectin-like oxidized-low density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) and adiponectin in patients with CAD accompanied with metabolic syndrome (MS). Here we aimed to ...
