Curr Hypertens Rev 2022; 18:153-157. [PMID: 35319378 DOI: 10.2174/1573402118666220321121421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Revised: 01/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) predisposes to the future development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may also be associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Hypertension is an established CVD risk factor. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the prevalence of IFG and the associated anthropometric and metabolic disturbances in patients with hypertension. METHODS Consecutive hypertensive patients not on any hypolipidemic treatment and without a diagnosis of T2DM were included. IFG was defined as serum glucose ≥100 mg/dl according to the American Diabetes Association criteria. RESULTS The total sample consisted of 1381 participants; between them, 78 patients were diagnosed to have T2DM and they were excluded from the analyses, leaving a final sample of 1303 hypertensive patients [41.0% men; median age 58 (range: 15-90) years] not on any hypolipidemic treatment and without a diagnosis of T2DM. IFG was identified in 469 patients (36%). IFG was more prevalent in males than in females (42.4% vs. 31.8%, p<0.001). Patients with IFG had greater body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and uric acid serum levels compared with patients with normal serum glucose levels. CONCLUSION This study reveals that in a sample of patients with hypertension, one out of three has IFG. This is more prevalent among men. IFG is associated with the presence of a more aggravated anthropometric and biochemical profile, possibly associated with an increased CVD risk.

Abstract
Fat accumulation in the pancreas associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been defined as "non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease" (NAFPD). The aim of this review is to describe the association of NAFPD with obesity, MetS, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and atherosclerosis and also increase awareness regarding NAFPD. Various methods are used for the detection and quantification of pancreatic fat accumulation that may play a significant role in the differences that have been observed in the prevalence of NAFPD. Endoscopic ultrasound provides detailed images of the pancreas and its use is expected to increase in the future. Obesity and MetS have been recognized as NAFPD risk factors. NAFPD is strongly associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and it seems that the presence of both may be related with aggravation of NAFLD. A role of NAFPD in the development of "prediabetes" and T2DM has also been suggested by most human studies. Accumulation of fat in pancreatic tissue possibly initiates a vicious cycle of beta-cell deterioration and further pancreatic fat accumulation. Additionally, some evidence indicates a correlation between NAFPD and atherosclerotic markers (e.g., carotid intima-media thickness). Weight loss and bariatric surgery decreases pancreatic triglyceride content but pharmacologic treatments for NAFPD have not been evaluated in specifically designed studies. Hence, NAFPD is a marker of local fat accumulation possibly associated with beta-cell function impairment, carbohydrate metabolism disorders and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
AbstractDiabetes is a growing epidemic with estimated prevalence of infected to reach ~592 million by the year 2035. An effective way to approach is to detect the disease at a very early stage to reduce the complications and improve lifestyle management. Although several traditional biomarkers including glucated hemoglobin, glucated albumin, fructosamine, and 1,5-anhydroglucitol have helped in ease of diagnosis, there is lack of sensitivity and specificity and are inaccurate in certain clinical settings. Thus, search for new and effective biomarkers is a continuous process with an aim of accurate and timely diagnosis. Several novel biomarkers have surged in the present century that are helpful in timely detection of the disease condition. Although it is accepted that a single biomarker will have its inherent limitations, combining several markers will help to identify individuals at high risk of developing prediabetes and eventually its progression to frank diabetes. This review describes the novel biomarkers of the 21st century, both in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and their present potential for assessing risk stratification due to insulin resistance that will pave the way for improved clinical outcome.

Abstract
Over the last 3 decades, hypolipidaemic treatment has significantly reduced both Cardiovascular
(CV) risk and events, with statins being the cornerstone of this achievement. Nevertheless, residual
CV risk and unmet goals in hypolipidaemic treatment make novel options necessary. Recently marketed
monoclonal antibodies against proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) have shown
the way towards innovation, while other ways of PCSK9 inhibition like small interfering RNA (Inclisiran)
are already being tested. Other effective and well tolerated drugs affect known paths of lipid
synthesis and metabolism, such as bempedoic acid blocking acetyl-coenzyme A synthesis at a different
level than statins, pemafibrate selectively acting on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-
alpha receptors and oligonucleotides against apolipoprotein (a). Additionally, other novel hypolipidaemic
drugs are in early phase clinical trials, such as the inhibitors of apolipoprotein C-III, which is located
on triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins, or the inhibitors of angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3), which
plays a key role in lipid metabolism, aiming to beneficial effects on TG levels and glucose metabolism.
Among others, gene therapy substituting the loss of essential enzymes is already used for Lipoprotein
Lipase (LPL) deficiency in autosomal chylomicronaemia and is expected to eliminate the lack of Low-
Density Lipoprotein (LDL) receptors in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia. Experimental
data of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) mimetics infusion therapy have shown a beneficial
effect on atherosclerotic plaques. Thus, many novel hypolipidaemic drugs targeting different aspects of
lipid metabolism are being investigated, although they need to be assessed in large trials to prove their
CV benefit and safety.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2019; 19:115. [PMID: 31096919 PMCID: PMC6521527 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-019-1103-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2018] [Accepted: 05/07/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Previous studies reported that low level of oestradiol (E2) was associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, little study examined the relationship between E2 and CVD in longevous women, which were deficient in serum E2 for the post-menopausal status. Therefore, this study aims to explore the association between E2 and CVD risk factors in a group of female centenarians of Hainan, China. Methods A total of 413 female centenarians (aged from 100 to 115) from China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study (CHCCS) were enrolled in this study. Home interviews were conducted to collected data on demographic characteristics, health-related lifestyles, and anthropometrics. The level of serum E2 was assessed in the Clinical Laboratory of Hainan branch of PLA General Hospital. The variables of CVD risk factors, including blood pressures, lipids and blood glucose, were measured through standard procedures. Results Significant negative correlations between levels of serum E2 and TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C were observed in this study. Compared with the highest group of E2, the odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals of high LDL-C in groups 3, 2 and 1 were OR1.94 (CI0.82–4.62), OR3.61 (CI1.27–10.25) and OR9.29 (CI2.08–41.53), respectively. Similarly, the prevalence of hypertension was decreased with the increase of serum E2. The odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals of stage-2 hypertension in groups 3, 2 and 1 versus highest E2 group were OR1.34 (CI0.49–3.72), OR1.36 (CI0.47–3.99) and OR1.38 (CI0.45–4.20), respectively. Conclusions This study examined the relationship between E2 and CVD risk factors in a group of community-based female centenarians. A negative correlations between serum E2 levels and CVD risk factors, i.e. high level of LDL-C, TC, and hypertension were observed in this population. Besides, the level of serum E2 is also negatively correlated with HDL-C. Further studies on the correlation between serum E2 and CVD risk factors, especially dyslipidemia, in longevous and post-menopausal women are warranted.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a major cardiovascular risk factor, but other lipid variables such as triglycerides (TRGs), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and lipoprotein a [Lp(a)] also affect cardiovascular risk. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors significantly lower LDL-C concentration but also modestly improve the concentrations of TRGs and HDL-C and more robustly decrease Lp(a) levels. The review presents the associated mechanisms of the beneficial effects of PCSK9 inhibitors on the other than LDL-C lipid variables, including the effects on lipid/apolipoprotein secretion and clearance and the heteroexchange between lipoproteins, as well as the possible effects on other variables involved in lipid metabolism such as sortilin. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors improve the overall lipid profile, and these beneficial effects may play a role in the reduction of cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prediabetes has been related to an increased risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). AIM The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of the Mediterranean diet on diabetes and CVD risk in subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG, i.e. fasting plasma glucose 100-125 mg/dl). METHODS During 2001-2002, 3042 men and women (>18y) were enrolled for the study. The participants showed no clinical evidence of CVD or any other chronic disease, and were living in the greater Athens (Greece) area. In 2011 and 2012, the 10-year follow-up examinations were performed, including a working sample of n = 1875 participants without diabetes at baseline. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet at baseline evaluation was assessed using the MedDietScore (range 0-55). RESULTS The prediabetic subjects (n = 343) had a significantly higher incidence of diabetes (25% vs. 10%, p < 0.001) and CVD (17.8% vs. 12.3%, p = 0.007) compared with subjects with normal glucose values. A significant trend towards lower diabetes and CVD incidence was observed with medium and high adherence to the Mediterranean diet compared with low adherence (p < 0.001). High adherence to the Mediterranean diet (>35/55 score) was associated with lower 10-year incidence of diabetes and CVD. In multiple logistic regression models, participants with high levels of adherence to the Mediterranean diet were significantly less affected by diabetes and CVD than those with low adherence levels. CONCLUSION High adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with a low risk of developing diabetes and CVD in prediabetic subjects.

Abstract
The number of individuals with prediabetes is expected to grow substantially and estimated to globally affect 482 million people by 2040. Therefore, effective methods for diagnosing prediabetes will be required to reduce the risk of progressing to diabetes and its complications. The current biomarkers, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fructosamine, and glycated albumin have limitations including moderate sensitivity and specificity and are inaccurate in certain clinical conditions. Therefore, identification of additional biomarkers is being explored recognizing that any single biomarker will also likely have inherent limitations. Therefore, combining several biomarkers may more precisely identify those at high risk for developing prediabetes and subsequent progression to diabetes. This review describes recently identified biomarkers and their potential utility for addressing the burgeoning epidemic of dysglycemic disorders.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a class of injective anti-diabetic drugs that improve glycemic control and many other atherosclerosis-related parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the use of this relatively new class of drugs may be associated with certain adverse effects. Concerns have been expressed regarding the effects of these drugs on pancreatic and thyroid tissue, since animal studies and analyses of drug databases indicate an association of GLP-1 receptor agonists with pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, and thyroid cancer. However, several meta-analyses failed to confirm a cause-effect relation between GLP-1 receptor agonists and the development of these adverse effects. One benefit of GLP-1 receptor agonists is that they do not cause hypoglycemia when combined with metformin or thiazolidinediones, but the dose of concomitant sulphonylurea or insulin may have to be decreased to reduce the risk of hypoglycemic episodes. On the other hand, several case reports have linked the use of these drugs, mainly exenatide, with the occurrence of acute kidney injury, primarily through hemodynamic derangement due to nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The most common symptoms associated with the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists are gastrointestinal symptoms, mainly nausea. Other common adverse effects include injection site reactions, headache, and nasopharyngitis, but these effects do not usually result in discontinuation of the drug. Current evidence shows that GLP-1 receptor agonists have no negative effects on the cardiovascular risk of patients with T2D. Thus, GLP-1 receptor agonists appear to have a favorable safety profile, but ongoing trials will further assess their cardiovascular effects. The aim of this review is to analyze critically the available data regarding adverse events of GLP-1 receptor agonists in different anatomic systems published in Pubmed and Scopus. Whenever possible, certain differences between GLP-1 receptor agonists are described. The review also provides the reader with structured data that compare the rates of the most common adverse effects for each of the various GLP-1 receptor agonists.

High-density lipoprotein subfractions in relation with the severity of coronary artery disease: A Gensini score assessment. J Clin Lipidol 2014; 9:26-34. [PMID: 25670357 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacl.2014.11.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2014] [Revised: 10/10/2014] [Accepted: 11/12/2014] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The exact role of different high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) has not yet been fully explored. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between HDL subfractions and the severity of CAD in patients without statin therapy. METHODS A total of 382 consecutive patients (mean: 55.36 ± 11.30 years of age) who underwent coronary angiography from angina-like chest pain were investigated. Patients were classified into 2 groups according to the angiographic results: a CAD group (n = 283) and a control group (n = 99). The distribution of HDL subfractions was analyzed using a Quantimetrix Lipoprint HDL system. CAD severity was measured by Gensini score (GS). RESULTS Compared with the control group, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), large HDL-C level, and the large HDL subfraction percentages in the CAD group were significantly lower (P = .002, P < .001, P < .001, respectively). Meanwhile, a small HDL-C level and the percentage of small HDL subfraction were significantly higher (P = .003, P < .001, respectively). Correlation analysis showed that the percentage of a large HDL subfraction was negatively correlated with GS (β = -0.191, P = .005), whereas the percentage of a small HDL subfraction positively correlated with GS (β = 0.145, P = .023) in patients with CAD. CONCLUSIONS Small HDL subfraction was associated with the presence of CAD, whereas the percentage of large HDL and small HDL subfraction was negatively and positively associated with the severity of CAD, respectively.

Abstract
Background: Prediabetes substantially increases cardiovascular risk. We examined the effect of rosuvastatin on the quantity and quality of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with dyslipidemia having impaired fasting glucose (IFG) compared to normoglycemic patients with dyslipidemia. Methods: This was a prospective observational study including patients with dyslipidemia and IFG (IFG group, n = 49) matched with normoglycemic patients with dyslipidemia (control group, n = 64). Study participants, following dietary intervention, were prescribed rosuvastatin 10 or 20 mg/d to achieve LDL-C goals. Baseline as well as 24 weeks posttreatment changes in the serum lipid profile were evaluated. Moreover, analysis of the LDL subfraction profile was conducted using a polyacrylamide tube gel electrophoresis method. Results: Similar effects were observed in lipid profile in both treatment groups. Patients with IFG experienced a greater decrease in the cholesterol concentration of small dense LDL particles (−65.7%, P < .001 vs baseline) compared to controls (−38.5%, P < .001 vs baseline; P = .018 vs patients with IFG). There was no significant difference in the changes of cholesterol concentration of large and buoyant LDL particles in the IFG group when compared to the control group. A greater increase in the mean LDL particle size (+1.5%, P < .001 vs baseline) was noted in the IFG group compared to the control group at 24 weeks (+0.4%, P = .028 vs baseline; P = .008 vs IFG group). Conclusion: Targeting dyslipidemia with rosuvastatin was associated with more favorable changes in the LDL subfraction profile in patients with IFG compared to normoglycemic ones.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are a class of anti-hyperglycemic agents with proven efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). AREAS COVERED This review considers the pharmacokinetic profile, adverse effects and drug interactions of DPP-4 inhibitors. DPP-4 inhibitors have certain differences in their structure, metabolism, route of elimination and selectivity for DPP-4 over structurally related enzymes, such as DPP-8/DPP-9. They have a low potential for drug interactions, with the exception of saxagliptin that is largely metabolized by cytochrome CYP3A4/A5. Reports of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer have raised concerns regarding the safety of DPP-4 inhibitors and are under investigation. Post-marketing surveillance has revealed less common adverse effects, especially a number of skin- and immune-related adverse effects. These issues are covered in the present review. EXPERT OPINION DPP-4 inhibitors are useful and efficient drugs. DPP-4 inhibitors have similar mechanism of action and similar efficacy. However, DPP-4 inhibitors have certain differences in their pharmacokinetic properties that may be associated with different clinical effects and adverse event profiles. Although clinical trials indicated a favorable safety profile, post-marketing reports revealed certain safety aspects that need further investigation. Certainly, more research is needed to clarify if the differences among DPP-4 inhibitors could lead to a different clinical and safety profile.

Abstract
The effects of combining angiotensin-receptor blockers of different peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ-activating capacity with rosuvastatin on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions and associated enzymes in patients with mixed dyslipidemia, hypertension, and prediabetes were assessed. Patients (n = 151) were randomly allocated to rosuvastatin (10 mg/d) plus telmisartan 80 mg/d (RT group, n = 52) or irbesartan 300 mg/d (RI group, n = 48) or olmesartan 20 mg/d (RO group, n = 51). Total and intermediate HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels did not change in any group. Large HDL-C increased, while small HDL-C decreased significantly in all the groups ( P = not significant between the groups). The mass of HDL lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (HDL-Lp-PLA2) and the activities of paraoxonase 1 remained unchanged in all the groups. However, HDL-Lp-PLA2 activity increased only in the RT group (+21.4%; P < .01 vs baseline) and did not change in the RI (−4.3%; P = .005 vs RT group) and RO (+3.2%; P = .01 vs RT) groups. In conclusion, only the combination of rosuvastatin with telmisartan increased the possibly antiatherosclerotic HDL-Lp-PLA2 activity.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists result in greater improvements in glycemic control than placebo and promote weight loss with minimal hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A number of case reports show an association of GLP-1 receptor agonists, mainly exenatide, with the development of acute kidney injury. The present review aims to present the available data regarding the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists on renal function, their use in subjects with chronic renal failure and their possible association with acute kidney injury. Based on the current evidence, exenatide is eliminated by renal mechanisms and should not be given in patients with severe renal impairment or end stage renal disease. Liraglutide is not eliminated by renal or hepatic mechanisms, but it should be used with caution since there are only limited data in patients with renal or hepatic impairment. There is evidence from animal studies that GLP-1 receptor agonists exert protective role in diabetic nephropathy with mechanisms that seem to be independent of their glucose-lowering effect. Additionally, there is evidence that GLP-1 receptor agonists influence water and electrolyte balance. These effects may represent new ways to improve or even prevent diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Abstract Background and Aims: Prediabetes, a category of incipient hyperglycemia that includes impaired fasting glycemia (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), has an increasing incidence in the modern world. We searched for differences in anthropometric and metabolic characteristics between subjects with isolated IFG and IFG+IGT. Material and Methods: In our cross-sectional study, 154 subjects with IFG and IFG+IGT, without any other major pathologies, were analyzed. Anthropometric data, lipid profile, uric acid, insulin resistance indexes, adiponectin, leptin and leptin-to-adiponectin ratio were compared. Results: Only 122 subjects (64 with isolated IFG and 58 with IFG+IGT), without any other identifiable major disease, were included in the final analysis. Most characteristics of the two groups were similar, only minor differences in anthropometric data, biochemical profile and insulin resistance indexes being noted. Insulin resistance indexes were stronger associated with adiponectin in the group with isolated IFG and with leptin and leptin-to-adiponectin ratio in the IFG+IGT group. Conclusions: Our data suggest a similar anthropometric and metabolic profile in subjects with isolated IFG and with IFG+IGT. In isolated IFG, insulin resistance seems to correlate better with adiponectin, while in IFG+IGT it seems to associate mostly with leptin and derived parameters

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with the development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Statins have an established efficacy in the management of dyslipidemia primarily by decreasing the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and thus decreasing CVD risk. They also have a favorable safety profile. Despite the statin-mediated benefit of CVD risk reduction a residual CVD risk remains, especially in T2DM patients with high triglyceride (TG) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) values. Fibrates decrease TG levels, increase HDL-C concentrations, and improve many other atherosclerosis-related variables. Fibrate/statin co-administration improves the overall lipoprotein profile in patients with mixed dyslipidemia and may reduce the residual CVD risk during statin therapy. However, limited data exists regarding the effects of statin/fibrate combination on CVD outcomes in patients with T2DM. In the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) study the statin/fibrate combination did not significantly reduce the rate of CVD events compared with simvastatin/placebo in patients with T2DM. However, it did show a possible benefit in a pre-specified analysis in the subgroup of patients with high TG and low HDL-C levels. Furthermore, in the ACCORD study the simvastatin/fenofibrate combination significantly reduced the rate of progression of retinopathy compared with statin/placebo administration in patients with T2DM. The present review presents the available data regarding the effects of statin/fibrate combination in patients with T2DM and atherogenic mixed dyslipidemia.
