Abstract
BACKGROUND The present paper aimed to study handgrip strength (HGS) asymmetry and its association with hypertension in a sample of Kathak dancers and non-dancers of North India. METHODS Data on HGS and blood pressure were collected from 206 Kathak dancers and 235 age-matched controls, using standardized protocols. Pearson correlation coefficients assessed the association between HGS and hypertension, and binary logistic regression identified the risk of developing hypertension. RESULTS HGS asymmetry was higher among non-dancers. In Kathak dancers, systolic blood pressure (SBP) was positively correlated with HGS and negatively correlated with HGS asymmetry whereas diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was negatively correlated with both HGS and HGS asymmetry. Dancers with high HGS, have significantly reduced risk of developing hypertension. Non-dancers with HGS asymmetry were 1.8 times more likely to report hypertension, relative to dancers. CONCLUSION Kathak may be used as an alternative method for maintaining HGS symmetry and reducing the risk of developing hypertension.

NADPH oxidase 1 promotes hepatic steatosis in obese mice and is abrogated by augmented skeletal muscle mass. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 2024; 326:G264-G273. [PMID: 38258487 DOI: 10.1152/ajpgi.00153.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
Exercise as a lifestyle modification is a frontline therapy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but how components of exercise attenuate steatosis is unclear. To uncouple the effect of increased muscle mass from weight loss in obesity, myostatin knockout mice were bred on a lean and obese db/db background. Myostatin deletion increases gastrocnemius (Gastrocn.) mass and reduces hepatic steatosis and hepatic sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (Srebp1) expression in obese mice, with no impact on adiposity or body weight. Interestingly, hypermuscularity reduces hepatic NADPH oxidase 1 (Nox1) expression but not NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4) in db/db mice. To evaluate a deterministic function of Nox1 on steatosis, Nox1 knockout mice were bred on a lean and db/db background. NOX1 deletion significantly attenuates hepatic oxidant stress, steatosis, and Srebp1 programming in obese mice to parallel hypermuscularity, with no improvement in adiposity, glucose control, or hypertriglyceridemia to suggest off-target effects. Directly assessing the role of NOX1 on SREBP1, insulin (Ins)-mediated SREBP1 expression was significantly increased in either NOX1, NADPH oxidase organizer 1 (NOXO1), and NADPH oxidase activator 1 (NOXA1) or NOX5-transfected HepG2 cells versus ?-galactosidase control virus, indicating superoxide is the key mechanistic agent for the actions of NOX1 on SREBP1. Metabolic Nox1 regulators were evaluated using physiological, genetic, and diet-induced animal models that modulated upstream glucose and insulin signaling, identifying hyperinsulinemia as the key metabolic derangement explaining Nox1-induced steatosis in obesity. GEO data revealed that hepatic NOX1 predicts steatosis in obese humans with biopsy-proven NAFLD. Taken together, these data suggest that hypermuscularity attenuates Srebp1 expression in db/db mice through a NOX1-dependent mechanism.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study documents a novel mechanism by which changes in body composition, notably increased muscle mass, protect against fatty liver disease. This mechanism involves NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1), an enzyme that increases superoxide and increases insulin signaling, leading to increased fat accumulation in the liver. NOX1 may represent a new early target for preventing fatty liver to stave off later liver diseases such as cirrhosis or liver cancer.

J Diabetes Metab Disord 2023; 22:995-1010. [PMID: 37975099 PMCID: PMC10638272 DOI: 10.1007/s40200-023-01262-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Objectives This comprehensive review aims to examine the reciprocal interplay between Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and sarcopenia, identify prevailing research gaps, and discuss therapeutic approaches and measures to enhance healthcare practices within hospital settings. Methods A thorough literature review was conducted to gather relevant studies and articles on the relationship between T2DM and sarcopenia. Various databases were searched, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct databases. The search terms included T2DM, sarcopenia, inflammation, insulin resistance, advanced glycation end products, oxidative stress, muscle dimensions, muscle strength, muscle performance, aging, nutrition, hormone levels, and physical activity. The collected articles were critically analysed to extract key findings and identify gaps in current research. Results The prevalence and incidence of metabolic and musculoskeletal disorders, notably T2DM and sarcopenia, have surged in recent years. T2DM is marked by inflammation, insulin resistance, accumulation of advanced glycation end products, and oxidative stress, while sarcopenia involves a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass and function. The review underscores the age-related correlation between sarcopenia and adverse outcomes like fractures, falls, and mortality. Research gaps regarding optimal nutritional interventions for individuals with T2DM and sarcopenia are identified, emphasizing the necessity for further investigation in this area. Conclusions The reciprocal interplay between T2DM and sarcopenia holds significant importance. Further research is warranted to address knowledge gaps, particularly in utilizing precise measurement tools during clinical trials. Lifestyle modifications appear beneficial for individuals with T2DM and sarcopenia. Additionally, practical nutritional interventions require investigation to optimize healthcare practices in hospital settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Metabolic dysfunction, especially hyperglycemia, is thought to be a major contributor, but how glucose impacts vascular function is unclear. GAL3 (galectin-3) is a sugar-binding lectin upregulated by hyperglycemia, but its role as a causative mechanism of cardiovascular disease remains poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the role of GAL3 in regulating microvascular endothelial vasodilation in obesity. METHODS GAL3 was measured and found to be markedly increased in the plasma of overweight and obese patients, as well as in the microvascular endothelium of diabetic patients. To investigate causative mechanisms in cardiovascular disease, mice deficient in GAL3 were bred with obese db/db mice to generate lean, lean GAL3 knockout, obese, and obese GAL3 knockout genotypes. Endothelial cell-specific GAL3 knockout mice with novel AAV-induced obesity recapitulated whole-body knockout studies to confirm cell specificity. RESULTS Deletion of GAL3 did not alter body mass, adiposity, or plasma indices of glycemia and lipidemia, but levels of plasma reactive oxygen species as assessed by plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were normalized in obese GAL3 knockout mice. Obese mice exhibited profound endothelial dysfunction and hypertension, both of which were rescued by GAL3 deletion. Isolated microvascular endothelial cells from obese mice had increased expression of NOX1 (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 1), which we have previously shown to contribute to increased oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction, which was normalized in microvascular endothelium from mice lacking GAL3. Cell-specific deletion confirmed that endothelial GAL3 regulates obesity-induced NOX1 overexpression and subsequent microvascular function. Furthermore, improvement of metabolic syndrome by increasing muscle mass, improving insulin signaling, or treating with metformin decreased microvascular GAL3, and thereby NOX1, expression levels. CONCLUSIONS Deletion of GAL3 normalizes microvascular endothelial function in obese db/db mice, likely through a NOX1-mediated mechanism. Pathological levels of GAL3, and in turn NOX1, are amenable to improvements in metabolic status, presenting a potential therapeutic target to ameliorate pathological cardiovascular consequences of obesity.

Abstract
We used machine learning methods to investigate if body composition indices predict hypertension. Data from a cohort study was used, and 4663 records were included (2156 were male, 1099 with hypertension, with the age range of 35-70 years old). Body composition analysis was done using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA); weight, basal metabolic rate, total and regional fat percentage (FATP), and total and regional fat-free mass (FFM) were measured. We used machine learning methods such as Support Vector Classifier, Decision Tree, Stochastic Gradient Descend Classifier, Logistic Regression, Gaussian Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor, Multi-Layer Perceptron, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Histogram-based Gradient Boosting, Bagging, Extra Tree, Ada Boost, Voting, and Stacking to classify the investigated cases and find the most relevant features to hypertension. FATP, AFFM, BMR, FFM, TRFFM, AFATP, LFATP, and older age were the top features in hypertension prediction. Arm FFM, basal metabolic rate, total FFM, Trunk FFM, leg FFM, and male gender were inversely associated with hypertension, but total FATP, arm FATP, leg FATP, older age, trunk FATP, and female gender were directly associated with hypertension. AutoMLP, stacking and voting methods had the best performance for hypertension prediction achieving an accuracy rate of 90%, 84% and 83%, respectively. By using machine learning methods, we found that BIA-derived body composition indices predict hypertension with acceptable accuracy.

Abstract
Rationale Obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) through mechanisms that remain incompletely defined. Metabolic dysfunction, especially hyperglycemia, is thought to be a major contributor but how glucose impacts vascular function is unclear. Galectin-3 (GAL3) is a sugar binding lectin upregulated by hyperglycemia but its role as a causative mechanism of CVD remains poorly understood. Objective To determine the role of GAL3 in regulating microvascular endothelial vasodilation in obesity. Methods and Results GAL3 was markedly increased in the plasma of overweight and obese patients, as well as in the microvascular endothelium of diabetic patients. To investigate a role for GAL3 in CVD, mice deficient in GAL3 were bred with obese db/db mice to generate lean, lean GAL3 knockout (KO), obese, and obese GAL3 KO genotypes. GAL3 KO did not alter body mass, adiposity, glycemia or lipidemia, but normalized elevated markers of reactive oxygen species (TBARS) in plasma. Obese mice exhibited profound endothelial dysfunction and hypertension, both of which were rescued by GAL3 deletion. Isolated microvascular endothelial cells (EC) from obese mice had increased NOX1 expression, which we have previously shown to contribute to increased oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction, and NOX1 levels were normalized in EC from obese mice lacking GAL3. EC-specific GAL3 knockout mice made obese using a novel AAV-approach recapitulated whole-body knockout studies, confirming that endothelial GAL3 drives obesity-induced NOX1 overexpression and endothelial dysfunction. Improved metabolism through increased muscle mass, enhanced insulin signaling, or metformin treatment, decreased microvascular GAL3 and NOX1. GAL3 increased NOX1 promoter activity and this was dependent on GAL3 oligomerization. Conclusions Deletion of GAL3 normalizes microvascular endothelial function in obese db/db mice, likely through a NOX1-mediated mechanism. Pathological levels of GAL3 and in turn, NOX1, are amenable to improvements in metabolic status, presenting a potential therapeutic target to ameliorate pathological cardiovascular consequences of obesity.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the number 1 cause of death in the United States and hypertension is a highly prevalent risk factor for CVD. It is estimated that up to 50 % of the hypertensive trait is genetically inherited while the other 50 % is determined by modifiable factors involving lifestyle, behaviors, and the environment. Interestingly, the hypertensive trait is induced or inhibited by epigenetic modifications modulated by modifiable factors. This review focused on the underlying mechanisms of stress, sleep deprivation, obesity and sedentarism as key players for epigenetic modifications contributing to the development of the hypertensive trait and, on the other hand, how epigenetic modifications induced by physical exercise and healthier habits may contribute to overturn and prevent the inheritance of hypertension trait. Furthermore, adversities during gestation and perinatal life also increase the risk for hypertension and CVD later in life, which can perpetuate the inheritance of the hypertensive trait whereas healthier habits during gestation and lactation may counteract fetal programming to improve the cardiovascular health of the progeny. Therefore, it is promising that a healthier lifestyle causes long-lasting epigenetic modifications and is transmitted to the next generation, strengthening the fight against the inheritance of hypertension.

Abstract
To determine the effect of aerobic exercise in different intensities on renal injury and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) in the kidney of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and explore possible mechanisms, we subjected SHR to different levels of 14-week aerobic treadmill training. We tested the effects of aerobic exercise on irisin level, renal function, and EMT modulators in the kidney. We also treated angiotensin II-induced HK-2 cells with irisin and tested the changes in EMT levels. The data showed low and moderate aerobic exercise improved renal function and inhibited EMT through promoting irisin expression in SHR. However, high-intensity exercise training had no effect on renal injury and EMT in SHR but did significantly activate STAT3 phosphorylation in the kidney. These results clarify the mechanisms of exercise in improving hypertension-related renal injury and suggest that irisin might be a therapeutic target for patients with kidney injury.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease, with few therapeutic options available to slow its progression. Aerobic exercise training is an effective strategy for diabetes mellitus and its complications' prevention and treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of aerobic exercise training on diabetic kidney injury in db/db mice and to characterize the mechanism underlying the renal protective effects. The db/db mice were exercised 5 days a week for 60 min each day for 8 weeks at a speed of 5.6 m/min, after which renal function, morphology, oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and the expression of the Nox4/ROS/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway-related protein were assessed. Our results showed that aerobic exercise training significantly reduced body weight and microalbuminuria, improved renal function, and attenuated renal pathological changes in db/db mice independent of hyperglycemic state. Aerobic exercise training was also found to significantly improve oxidative stress and inflammation in the kidneys of db/db mice by decreasing the activity of complex I, the levels of MDA, 8-OHdG, Nox4, ROS, TNF-α, MCP-1, IL-6, and IL-18, increasing the activities of SOD and GSH-Px, the expression of klotho and NPHS2, and decreasing the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 and IκBα, as well as the expression of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 p20, and IL-1β. Additionally, aerobic exercise training decreased TGF-β, collagen I, collagen IV, and α-SMA expression, thereby slowing the progression of kidney fibrosis in db/db mice. In conclusion, aerobic exercise training effectively reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and renal fibrosis by modulating the Nox4/ROS/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway, implying that aerobic exercise training has significant potential to protect diabetic kidney injury and should be given more emphasis in DKD treatment.

[PMID: 35471692 PMCID: PMC9213608 DOI: 10.1007/s11357-022-00567-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Obesity and aging have both seen dramatic increases in prevalence throughout society. This review seeks to highlight common pathologies that present with obesity, along with the underlying risk factors, that have remarkable similarity to what is observed in the aged. These include skeletal muscle dysfunction (loss of quantity and quality), significant increases in adiposity, systemic alterations to autonomic dysfunction, reduction in nitric oxide bioavailability, increases in oxidant stress and inflammation, dysregulation of glucose homeostasis, and mitochondrial dysfunction. This review is organized by the aforementioned indices and succinctly highlights literature that demonstrates similarities between the aged and obese phenotypes in both human and animal models. As aging is an inevitability and obesity prevalence is unlikely to significantly decrease in the near future, these two phenotypes will ultimately combine as a multidimensional syndrome (a pathology termed sarcopenic obesity). Whether the pre-mature aging indices accompanying obesity are additive or synergistic upon entering aging is not yet well defined, but the goal of this review is to illustrate the potential consequences of a double aged phenotype in sarcopenic obesity. Clinically, the modifiable risk factors could be targeted specifically in obesity to allow for increased health span in the aged and sarcopenic obese populations.

Effects of Supervised Exercise on the Development of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11030793. [PMID: 35160245 PMCID: PMC8836524 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11030793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are the most common medical complication in pregnancy, affecting approximately 10–15% of pregnancies worldwide. HDP are a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, and each year, worldwide, around 70,000 mothers and 500,000 babies die because of HDP. Up-to-date high-quality systematic reviews quantifying the role of exercise and the risks of developing HDP are currently lacking. Physical exercise is considered to be safe and beneficial to pregnant women. Supervised exercise has been shown to be safe and to be more beneficial than unsupervised exercise in the general population, as well as during pregnancy in women with obesity and diabetes. Therefore, we undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effects of women performing supervised exercise during pregnancy compared to a control group (standard antenatal care or unsupervised exercise) on the development of HDP. We searched Medline, Embase, CINHAL, and the Cochrane Library, which were searched from inception to December 2021. We included only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the development of HDP compared to a control group (standard antenatal care or unsupervised exercise) in pregnant women performing supervised exercise. Two independent reviewers selected eligible trials for meta-analysis. Data collection and analyses were performed by two independent reviewers. The PROSPERO registration number is CRD42020176814. Of 6332 articles retrieved, 16 RCTs met the eligibility criteria, comparing a total of 5939 pregnant women (2904 pregnant women in the intervention group and 3035 controls). The risk for pregnant women to develop HDP was significantly reduced in the intervention compared to the control groups, with an estimated pooled cumulative incidence of developing HDP of 3% in the intervention groups (95% CI: 3 to 4) and of 5% in the control groups (95% CI: 5 to 6), and a pooled odds ratio (OR) comparing intervention to control of 0.54 (95% CI:0.40 to 0.72, p < 0.001). A combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise, or yoga alone, had a greater beneficial effect compared to performing aerobic exercise only (mixed-OR = 0.50, 95% CI:0.33 to 0.75, p = 0.001; yoga-OR = 0.28, 95% CI:0.13 to 0.58, p = 0.001); aerobic exercise only-OR = 0.87, 95% CI:0.55 to 1.37, p = 0.539). Pregnancy is an opportunity for healthcare providers to promote positive health activities, thus optimizing the health of pregnant women with potential short- and long-term benefits for both mother and child. This systematic review and meta-analysis support a beneficial effect of either structured exercise (combination of aerobic, strength, and flexibility workouts) or yoga for preventing the onset of HDP. Yoga, considered a low-impact physical activity, could be more acceptable and safer for women in pregnancy in reducing the risk of developing HDP.

Aerobic Exercise Attenuates Pressure Overload-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction through Promoting Skeletal Muscle Microcirculation and Increasing Muscle Mass. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:8279369. [PMID: 34819985 PMCID: PMC8608514 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8279369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Revised: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
Background Aerobic exercise has been proven to have a positive effect on cardiac function after hypertension; however, the mechanism is not entirely clarified. Skeletal muscle mass and microcirculation are closely associated with blood pressure and cardiac function. Objective This study was designed to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on the skeletal muscle capillary and muscle mass, to explore the possible mechanisms involved in exercise-induced mitigation of cardiac dysfunction in pressure overload mice. Methods In this study, 60 BALB/C mice aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into 3 groups: control (CON), TAC, and TAC plus exercise (TAE) group and utilized transverse aortic constriction (TAC) to establish hypertensive model; meanwhile, treadmill training is used for aerobic exercise. After 5 days of recovery, mice in the TAE group were subjected to 10-week aerobic exercise. Carotid pressure and cardiac function were examined before mice were executed by Millar catheter and ultrasound, respectively. Muscle mass of gastrocnemius was weighed; cross-sectional area and the number of capillaries of gastrocnemius were detected by HE and immunohistochemistry, respectively. The mRNA and protein levels of VEGF in skeletal muscle were determined by RT-PCR and western blot, respectively. Results We found that ① 10-week aerobic exercise counteracted hypertension and attenuated cardiac dysfunction in TAC-induced hypertensive mice; ② TAC decreased muscle mass of gastrocnemius and resulted in muscle atrophy, while 10-week aerobic exercise could reserve transverse aortic constriction-induced the decline of muscle mass and muscle atrophy; and ③ TAC reduced the number of capillaries and the protein level of VEGF in gastrocnemius, whereas 10-week aerobic exercise augmented the number of capillaries, the mRNA and protein levels of VEGF in mice were subjected to TAC surgery. Conclusions This study indicates that 10-week aerobic exercise might fulfill its blood pressure-lowering effect via improving skeletal muscle microcirculation and increasing muscle mass.

Abstract
The modern diet is closely linked to the consumption of processed foods, causing an increase in the intake of salt, simple sugars, phosphorus and added potassium. This excess intake is associated with an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD, which according to data from the ENRICA study affects 15% of the population, magnifies its impact due to the higher prevalence of diabetes and hypertension and due to limitations in the management of sodium and phosphorus. The intake of these products far exceeds the established recommendations, assuming 72% of total sodium, 25%-35% of phosphorus, 12%-18% of potassium and exceeding 10% of the caloric intake in simple sugars. Measures are necessary to reduce their contribution through nutritional advice, labeling review, education campaigns on healthy habits, fees and institutional actions that involve food safety agencies, industry, distribution and scientific societies.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a disease characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function that occurs mainly in older adults. The present study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that water extract of Lycium chinense (WELC) would improve muscle function and promote myogenesis for sarcopenia. We investigated the effect of water extracts of L. chinense on muscular endurance function and myogenesis to examine its efficacy in sarcopenia. Intake of WELC-containing cheese enhanced the muscular endurance function of mice in treadmill endurance tests. In addition, the cross-sectional areas of muscle fibers in the gastrocnemius muscle of L. chinense-fed mice were greater than that of control mice. Furthermore, WELC and its key component marker substance betaine promoted myogenesis of myoblasts by increasing the expression of the myogenic protein myosin heavy chain 3 (Myh3) and myotube formation. Taken together, our results suggest that L. chinense may potentially be useful in the development of preventive and therapeutic agents for sarcopenia, as well as in providing basic knowledge on myogenesis and muscular functions.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is classified as a combination of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and postmenopausal women are specifically at an increased risk for MetS, in part due to the hormonal and metabolic changes that occur at the menopause transition. It is crucial to combat the components of MetS with appropriate lifestyle interventions in this population, such as exercise. This study aimed to examine the effects of a resistance band exercise training program in obese postmenopausal women with MetS. A total 35 postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to either a control group (CON, n = 17) or a resistance band exercise training group (EX, n = 18). Participants in the EX group trained 3days/week. Levels of blood glucose, insulin, homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), blood lipid profile, anthropometrics, and blood pressure (BP) were measured at baseline and after the exercise intervention. There were significant group by time interactions (p < 0.05) for blood glucose (Δ-4.5 mg/dl), insulin (Δ -1.3 μU/ml), HOMA-IR (Δ -0.6), triglycerides (Δ -9.4 mg/dl), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(Δ -10.8 mg/dl), systolic BP(Δ -3.4 mmHg), body fat percentage (Δ -3.0 %), and waist circumference (Δ -3.4 cm), which significantly decreased (p < 0.05), and lean body mass (Δ 0.7 kg) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Δ 5.1 mg/dl), which significantly increased (p < 0.05) after EX compared to no change in CON. The present study indicates that resistance band exercise training may be an effective therapeutic intervention to combat the components of MetS in this population, potentially reducing the risk for the development of CVD.

Abstract
This systematic review examined the impact of exercise intervention programs on selected cardiometabolic health indicators in adults with overweight or obesity. Three electronic databases were explored for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that included adults with overweight or obesity and provided exercise-training interventions. Effects on blood pressure, insulin resistance (homeostasis model of insulin resistance, HOMA-IR), and magnetic resonance measures of intrahepatic fat in exercise versus control groups were analyzed using random effects meta-analyses. Fifty-four articles matched inclusion criteria. Exercise training reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mean difference, MD = -2.95 mmHg [95% CI -4.22, -1.68], p < 0.00001, I2 = 63% and MD = -1.93 mmHg [95% CI -2.73, -1.13], p < 0.00001, I2 = 54%, 60 and 58 study arms, respectively). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased also when considering only subjects with hypertension. Exercise training significantly decreased HOMA-IR (standardized mean difference, SMD = -0.34 [-0.49, -0.18], p < 0.0001, I2 = 48%, 37 study arms), with higher effect size in subgroup of patients with type 2 diabetes (SMD = -0.50 [95% CI: -0.83, -0.17], p = 0.003, I2 = 39%). Intrahepatic fat decreased significantly after exercise interventions (SMD = -0.59 [95% CI: -0.78, -0.41], p < 0.00001, I2 = 0%), with a larger effect size after high-intensity interval training. In conclusion, exercise training is effective in improving cardiometabolic health in adults with overweight or obesity also when living with comorbitidies.

Abstract
AIM To examine the relationship between serum myostatin levels and diabetic retinopathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS This cross-sectional study evaluated 246 individuals with type 2 DM. Analysis of covariance was performed after adjusting for confounders. A logistic regression model was used to evaluate the relationship between serum myostatin levels and diabetic retinopathy. RESULTS Serum myostatin levels were significantly higher in individuals with diabetic retinopathy than in those without. After adjusting for other covariates, the mean serum myostatin levels were significantly different according to the severity of retinopathy (without diabetic retinopathy, 2234 pg/mL; non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, 2698 pg/mL; and proliferative diabetic retinopathy, 3076 pg/mL; p for trend = 0.004). The multivariate analysis showed that serum myostatin levels were significantly associated with diabetic retinopathy (odds ratio for every 1 standard deviation-increase in logarithmic value, 1.77; 95% confidence interval: 1.21-2.59; p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Serum myostatin levels were positively associated with diabetic retinopathy in individuals with type 2 DM.

Abstract
Background This study aims to investigate the association between handgrip strength (HGS) and cardiometabolic disorders (CMD), including hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, in a prospective study. Methods The association between HGS and CMD was examined using the data from 5,271 Chinese adult participants ≥45 years old enrolled in the CHARLS (Chinese Health and Retirement Prospective Cohort Study) during 2011-2015. Relative HGS, calculated as maximal absolute HGS from both hands divided by body mass index, was used in the primary analysis and divided into three groups according to the tertiles (T1, T2, and T3). Results The participants with higher relative HGS had a lower risk of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia than those with lower HGS, although did not reach statistical significance for diabetes and hypertension in males. Participants with higher HGS had significantly lower risk of hypertension [T3 vs. T1: OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.51-0.91, P = 0.010] and dyslipidemia (OR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.51-0.83, P < 0.001) in males. For females, participants with higher HGS had significantly lower risks of dyslipidemia (OR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.54-0.83, P < 0.001). Conclusion A consistent association was observed between higher relative HGS and lower risk of CMD. Further research is required to evaluate whether relative HGS can be a convincing predictor for the occurrence of CMD and as a target for intervention in the high-risk population.

Growth Differentiation Factor-8 (GDF8)/Myostatin is a Predictor of Troponin I Peak and a Marker of Clinical Severity after Acute Myocardial Infarction. J Clin Med 2019; 9:jcm9010116. [PMID: 31906236 PMCID: PMC7019567 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9010116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2019] [Revised: 12/20/2019] [Accepted: 12/20/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Growth differentiation factor-8 (GDF8), also known as myostatin, is a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily that inhibits skeletal muscle growth. We aimed to investigate the association between GDF8 and peak troponin I levels after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS All consecutive patients admitted from June 2016 to February 2018 for type 1 AMI in the Coronary Care Unit of University Hospital of Dijon Bourgogne (France) were included in our prospective study. Blood samples were harvested on admission, and serum levels of GDF8 were measured using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. RESULTS Among the 296 patients with type 1 AMI, median age was 68 years and 27% were women. GDF8 levels (median (IQR) = 2375 ng/L) were negatively correlated with age, sex and diabetes (p < 0.001 for all). GDF8 levels were higher in patients with in-hospital ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT/VF) than those without in-hospital VT/VF. GDF8 was positively correlated with troponin I peak (r = 0.247; p < 0.001). In multivariate linear regression analysis, log GDF8 (OR: 21.59; 95% CI 34.08-119.05; p < 0.001) was an independent predictor of troponin I peak. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that GDF8 levels could reflect the extent of myocardial damage during AMI, similar to peak troponin I, which is currently used to estimate infarct size. Further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms linking the GDF8 cytokine with troponin I levels.

The Role of Myokines and Adipokines in Hypertension and Hypertension-related Complications. Hypertens Res 2019; 42:1544-1551.

Abstract
The cross-talk between skeletal muscle and adipose tissue has been identified to play a key role in the regulation of blood pressure and the development of hypertension. The role of different adipokines and myokines in hypertension and hypertension-related complications remains unclear. In the present study, 98 hypertensive patients and 24 normotensive controls were recruited, and additional subgroup analyses of hypertension-related complications were also performed. The levels of the circulating bone-derived factors leptin, apelin, fractalkine, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), myostatin, fatty-acid-binding protein 3 (FABP3), irisin, follistatin-related protein 1 (FSTL1), oncostatin M, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) and musclin were measured by a protein liquid chip assay. The circulating levels of BDNF and musclin were decreased, whereas the leptin and irisin levels were increased, in hypertensive patients compared with those in the control individuals. Further logistic analysis indicated that the irisin level was positively correlated with SBP and an independent predictor for hypertension after adjustment. In nonobese subjects, the concentrations of DKK1, BDNF and FSTL1 were decreased, whereas the concentrations of leptin and irisin were increased. Irisin and DKK1 might be associated with hypertension. Additional subgroup analyses showed that irisin is significantly associated with hypertension-related stroke. In conclusion, we found that increased irisin levels are associated with hypertension and hypertension-related stroke. These findings indicate that irisin may be involved in the pathophysiology of hypertension.

Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of metabolic and musculoskeletal diseases are increasing. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by insulin resistance, inflammation, advanced glycation end-product accumulation and increased oxidative stress. These characteristics can negatively affect various aspects of muscle health, including muscle mass, strength, quality and function through impairments in protein metabolism, vascular and mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell death. Sarcopenia is a term used to describe the age-related loss in skeletal muscle mass and function and has been implicated as both a cause and consequence of T2DM. Sarcopenia may contribute to the development and progression of T2DM through altered glucose disposal due to low muscle mass, and also increased localized inflammation, which can arise through inter- and intramuscular adipose tissue accumulation. Lifestyle modifications are important for improving and maintaining mobility and metabolic health in individuals with T2DM and sarcopenia. However, evidence for the most effective and feasible exercise and dietary interventions in this population is lacking. In this review, we discuss the current literature highlighting the bidirectional relationship between T2DM and sarcopenia, highlight current research gaps and treatments, and provide recommendations for future research.

Overweight Patients Less Improved Kidney Function After Laparoscopic Surgery for Adrenocortical Adenoma With Excess Cortisol Secretion. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2019; 10:572. [PMID: 31481933 PMCID: PMC6710343 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2019.00572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2019] [Accepted: 08/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: Glucocorticoid (GC) is known to be involved in the deterioration of kidney function both directly by affecting the glomeruli and renal tubules and indirectly by affecting cardiovascular function. Autonomous GC secretion is the main feature of primary adrenal hypercortisolism (PAHC). However, the ideal treatment option (operation vs. medical treatment and observation) for patients with PAHC has not been established yet. In this study, we assessed a time series of kidney function in patients with PAHC treated via laparoscopic adrenalectomy and investigated the predictive factors for kidney function 1 year after surgery. Methods: From September 1997 to July 2017, 175 laparoscopic adrenalectomies were performed for adrenal tumors at Akita University. Thirty patients, who were diagnosed as having PAHC via preoperative endocrinological evaluations and followed up for at least 1 year after surgery, were included in this study. Patients with severe complications or simultaneous aldosteronism were excluded. The mean age of the 30 patients was 57.5 years (range, 33-79 years; males, 4; females, 26), and the right and left sides were affected in 9 and 21 patients, respectively. Results: In all, 18 patients were diagnosed as having Cushing's syndrome and 12 as having subclinical Cushing's syndrome. The steroid cover was required in all cases after surgery. The estimated glomerular filtration rate significantly improved (78.4 mL/min [64.8-95.8] vs. 84.1 mL/min [66.8-104.0], p = 0.012) 1 year after surgery. Patients showing 5% or more improvement in kidney function and those showing less than 5% improvement were compared. On performing univariate analyses, factors such as a longer operative time, heavy body mass index (BMI), and preoperative unsuppressed ACTH were associated with worse improvement in kidney function. No significant associations were observed regarding metabolic disorders, clinical symptoms, and gross proteinuria. On multivariate analysis, patients with a higher BMI (≥ 24 kg/m2) showed worse improvement in kidney function at 1 year after surgery (odds ratio 14.0, 95% confidence interval 1.3-142.9, p = 0.012). Conclusions: In PAHC patients, after 1 year of follow-up, kidney function improved in terms of estimated glomerular filtration rate. Therefore, this improvement seems to be delayed in overweight patients, suggesting its direct role in renal function.
