Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex metabolic disorder with a global prevalence of 20%-25%. Early identification and intervention would help minimize the global burden on healthcare systems. Here, we measured over 400 proteins from ∼20,000 proteomes using data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry for 7,890 serum samples from a longitudinal cohort of 3,840 participants with two follow-up time points over 10 years. We then built a machine-learning model for predicting the risk of developing MetS within 10 years. Our model, composed of 11 proteins and the age of the individuals, achieved an area under the curve of 0.774 in the validation cohort (n = 242). Using linear mixed models, we found that apolipoproteins, immune-related proteins, and coagulation-related proteins best correlated with MetS development. This population-scale proteomics study broadens our understanding of MetS and may guide the development of prevention and targeted therapies for MetS.

Abstract
Aims Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) and adiponectin are adipokines that regulate metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate the roles of GDF-15, adiponectin, and GDF-15/adiponectin ratio (G/A ratio) as biomarkers for detecting metabolic syndrome (MS). Materials and methods This cross-sectional study included 676 participants aged 20-70 years in Jurong, China. The participants were divided into four groups based on sex and age (<40 and ≥40 years). MS was defined according to the modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the performance of GDF-15, adiponectin, and the G/A ratio in predicting MS. Results The prevalence of MS was 22.0% (149/676). Logistic regression analysis indicated that the G/A ratio and adiponectin levels, but not GDF-15 levels, were correlated with MS [odds ratio; 95% CI 1.010 (1.006-1.013) and 0.798 (0.735-0.865), respectively] after adjusting for confounding factors. The G/A ratio displayed a significant relationship with MS in each subgroup and with each MS component in both men and women; however, adiponectin concentrations were significantly associated with MS and all its components only in men (all P <0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of the G/A ratio and the adiponectin level for MS was 0.758 and 0.748, respectively. The highest AUC was 0.757 for the adiponectin level in men and 0.724 for the G/A ratio in women. Conclusions This study suggests that the G/A ratio and adiponectin are potential biomarkers for detecting MS in women and men, respectively.

Abstract
Adiponectin is one of the most important molecules in the body's compensatory response to the development of insulin resistance. By trying to maintain insulin sensitivity, increase insulin secretion and prevent inflammation, adiponectin tries to maintain glucose homeostasis. Interleukin-33, which belongs to the group of alarmins, also promotes insulin secretion. Interleukin-33 might be either pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory depending on the disease and the model. However, interleukin-33 has shown various protective effects in CVD, obesity and diabetes. The aim of our study was to investigate the association between adiponectin and interleukin-33 in patients with metabolic syndrome. As expected, all patients with metabolic syndrome had worse parameters that represent the hallmark of metabolic syndrome compared to the control group. In the subgroup of patients with low adiponectin, we observed less pronounced characteristics of metabolic syndrome simultaneously with significantly higher values of interleukin-33 compared to the subgroup of patients with high adiponectin. Our findings suggested that adiponectin might be an early marker of metabolic syndrome that emerges before anthropomorphic, biochemical and clinical parameters. We also suggest that both interleukin-33 and adiponectin may be used to predict the inflammatory status in the early stage of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
In the last few decades, obesity has increased dramatically in pediatric patients. Obesity is a chronic disease correlated with systemic inflammation, characterized by the presence of CD4 and CD8 T cell infiltration and modified immune response, which contributes to the development of obesity related diseases and metabolic disorders, including impaired glucose metabolism. In particular, Treg and Th17 cells are dynamically balanced under healthy conditions, but imbalance occurs in inflammatory and pathological states, such as obesity. Some studies demonstrated that peripheral Treg and Th17 cells exhibit increased imbalance with worsening of glucose metabolic dysfunction, already in children with obesity. In this review, we considered the role of adipose tissue immunomodulation and the potential role played by Treg/T17 imbalance on the impaired glucose metabolism in pediatric obesity. In the patient care, immune monitoring could play an important role to define preventive strategies of pediatric metabolic disease treatments.

Abstract
We aimed to compare the concentrations of serum cytokines in patients undergoing coronary angiography and finding their possible associations with metabolic syndrome. Twelve serum cytokines and growth factors (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, MCP-1, IFN-γ, EGF, and VEGF) were measured by sandwich chemiluminescence assays, on the Evidence Investigator® system. There were significant differences regarding sex, height, weight, BMI, WC, HC, FPG, TG and HDL-C between those with and without MetS in patients undergoing angiography (p < .05). Serum concentrations of IL-6 and INF-γ were significantly higher in subjects with MetS, compared to those without MetS (p = .031 and p = .035, respectively). However, only serum IL-6 was associated with the presence of MetS (β = 1.215, CI = 1.047-1.409, p = .010). From several serum cytokines and growth factors assessed in patients, IL-6 was the only serum cytokine that was significantly different between those with and without MetS after correction for confounding factors.

Abstract
The pathogenic mechanism of insulin resistance and associated diseases such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes remains unclear. Since inflammatory cytokines secreted by T cells play an important role in immune system homeostasis, we evaluated the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the Th17/Treg balance in insulin sensitivity and the underlying mechanism in a rat model. After establishing an insulin-resistant rat model, the rats were injected with anti-mouse IL-6R receptor antibody (MR16-1) to block IL-6. Adipose tissue and blood samples were obtained for the analysis of cytokines, Th17 and Treg markers, and insulin sensitivity blood parameters, for comparisons with those of the normal control group, IL-6-blocked control group, and insulin resistance control group. In the insulin resistance control group, the expression levels of IL-6, RORγt, and IL-17 increased, whereas those of IL-10, FoxP3, and CD4+CD25+Treg decreased. Insulin sensitivity decreased, whereas glucose, total serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and free fatty acid levels significantly increased. However, the completely opposite effects for all parameters were detected in the insulin resistance IL-6-blocked group. Insulin resistance can cause inflammation and an imbalance in Th17 cells/Treg cells. IL-6 can restore this imbalance and play an important role in the development and progression of insulin resistance.

Abstract
In recent years, we have witnessed an increase in the number of cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) in children and adolescents, which has paralleled the increase in the worldwide prevalence of obesity. Although screening the general population does not appear to be cost-effective, special attention should be paid to children with excess weight, obesity or other factors that predispose them to a state of insulin resistance. When faced with the diagnosis of childhood DM2, the presence of comorbidities (such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and microalbuminuria) should be assessed, and appropriate treatment and follow-up should be administered to prevent the onset of complications, given that the DM2 in this population group will last longer than that started in adulthood.

Abstract
Obesity is often associated with metabolic disorders. However, some obese people can present a metabolically healthy phenotype, despite having excessive body fat. Obesity-related cytokines, such as myostatin (MSTN), leptin (LP) and adiponectin (ADP) appear to be key factors for the regulation of muscle and energy metabolism. Our aim was to compare lipid, glucose-insulin and inflammatory (tumor necrosis factor alpha; TNF-α) profiles, muscle function, energy expenditure and aerobic capacity between healthy normal-weight (NW) adults, metabolically healthy obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUHO) adults; to study the associations between these outcomes and the cytokines MSTN, ADP, LP; and to establish cutoffs for MSTN and LP/ADP to identify the MUHO phenotype. Sixty-one young adults (NW, n = 24; MHO, n = 16; MUHO, n = 21) underwent body composition (body fat -BF and muscle mass - MM), energy expenditure at rest (RER) and aerobic capacity (VO2peak) evaluation, muscle strength and endurance tests and blood profile characterization (glucose-insulin homeostasis and serum MSTN, ADP, LP and TNF-α). MHO and MUHO had a BMI ≥ 30 kg m-2. MUHO was defined as presenting ≥3 criteria for metabolic syndrome (NCEP/ATPIII) in association with insulin resistance (HOMA-IR ≥3.46). MSTN and LP/ADP were associated with MM, MetS and glucose-insulin profile; MSTN was associated with TNF-α and only LP/ADP was associated with parameters of obesity and VO2peak. Neither MSTN nor LP/ADP was associated with muscle functions (p < .05 for adjusted correlations). Both of them were able to discriminate the MUHO phenotype: MSTN [AUC(95%CI) = 0.71(0.55-0.86), MSTN > 517.3 pg/mL] and LP/ADP [AUC(95%CI) = 0.89(0.81-0.97), LP/ADP > 2.14 pg/ng]. In conclusion, high MSTN and LP/ADP are associated with MetS, glucose-insulin homeostasis impairment and low muscle mass. Myostatin is associated with TNF-α and leptin-to-adiponectin ratio is associated with body fatness and aerobic capacity. Neither MSTN nor LP/ADP is associated with energy expenditure, muscle strength and endurance. Myostatin and adipokines cutoffs can identify the metabolically unhealthy obese phenotype in young adults with acceptable accuracy.

Abstract
We aimed to assess in obese youths the relationships between interleukin-6 (IL-6), fat meal-induced endotoxemia and glucose homeostasis. Twenty obese children/adolescents (9-17 years old, 11 boys) underwent a standard oral glucose tolerance test and, 7-14 days later, a 5-h fat meal test (fat=69% of energy, saturated/monounsaturated/polyunsaturated fatty acids=31.5%/35%/33.5%), with serial measures of IL-6 and two markers of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure and translocation, LPS-binding protein (LBP) and soluble CD14 (sCD14). IL-6 correlated not only with basal (homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance) but also with post-prandial (Matsuda index) insulin sensitivity (r=0.61 (0.24-0.82), P=0.005, r=-0.53 (0.12-0.78), P=0.03, respectively). IL-6 did not change after the meal whereas LBP and sCD14 decreased significantly, indicating LPS translocation. Neither basal sCD14 and LBP nor their incremental concentrations correlated with IL-6 or glucose homeostasis. In our sample, IL-6 was associated with insulin sensitivity but not with LPS exposure, suggesting that meals with a balanced content of saturated/monounsaturated/polyunsaturated fatty acids may not be associated with LPS-induced inflammation and metabolic impairment.

Abstract
The aims of this cross-sectional study were to explore the ability of serum interleukin 18 (IL-18) and adiponectin to identify metabolic syndrome (MetS), and to verify their association with an index of central lipid overaccumulation (lipid accumulation product (LAP)) and cardiometabolic risk factors in a population of middle-aged Brazilian men. A group of 218 apparently healthy middle-aged Brazilian men (age, 50.3 ± 4.97 years) underwent anthropometric, clinical, sociodemographic, and standard serum biochemical assessments. LAP was calculated and the study participants were categorized into 3 groups according to serum IL-18 and adiponectin cut-points tertiles to verify the association of these biomarkers with cardiometabolic risk factors. The MetS group had more less active (p = 0.03) and obese (p < 0.01) individuals who exhibited higher IL-18 (p < 0.01) and lower adiponectin (p < 0.01) than did those in the group with no MetS. After adjustments (age, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity level, and total body fat), serum IL-18 ≥ 336.4 pg/mL was an independent factor for MetS occurrence and it was directly associated with LAP (≥51.28), central obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypertension (p < 0.05), but not with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Serum adiponectin ≥ 7.02 μg/mL was negatively associated with MetS occurrence, LAP, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL-C (p < 0.05), but not with central obesity and hypertension. In conclusion, both IL-18 and adiponectin demonstrated the ability to identify MetS in this population, with IL-18 being more accurate. The association of these biomamarkers with LAP and cardiometabolic risk factors highlights its relevance as a diagnostic tool.

Abstract
Background There are few reports on the effects of ethnicity or gender in the association between adipocytokines and insulin resistance in children of different ages. This study assessed associations between serum concentrations of adiponectin/resistin and parameters of insulin resistance in children from 4 different countries. Methods A total of 2,290 children were analyzed in this study; each was from one of 4 different countries (Japan, Thailand, Italy and USA), and grouped according to age (8–11 years old in Group 1 and 12–15 years old in Group 2). Results Adioponectin was higher in female than in male children, and in Group 1 than in Group 2. Generally, adiponectin was lower in Asian as compared to Italian and American children. These tendencies remained even after adjustment for body mass index (BMI) or waist circumstance (WC). Among older children (Group 2), resistin was higher in female than in male children. Significant correlations by non-parametric univariate correlation coefficients and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients were found between adiponectin and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and fasting serum insulin levels in young Japanese, Italian, and American female children(p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.05, respectively). Correlations between serum adiponectin and HOMA-IR were also found among older male Italian, American, and Thai children (p < 0.05, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). In multiple regression analysis by forced entry method, adiponectin correlated with HOMA-IR in Italian and American male children, and in all older female children regardless of country of origin. There was no correlation between resistin and markers of insulin resistance in children from any of the countries. Conclusions We conclude that serum adiponectin concentrations are lower in Asian as compared to Italian and American children, and that adiponectin but not resistin contributes to differences in markers for insulin resistance in children from different populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasma adipocytokines are associated with metabolic profile and cardiovascular risk in obese children. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of plasma leptin and adiponectin concentrations with cardiometabolic risk profile and systemic inflammation in non-obese children. SUBJECTS We studied 170 healthy, non-obese children (86 males, mean age 10±2 years). METHODS Children's current body mass index (BMI), plasma leptin and adiponectin concentrations, lipid profile, fasting plasma glucose and high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) were measured. RESULTS After adjustment for age, gender and BMI, plasma leptin concentrations were positively associated with hsCRP (t=2.72, p=0.009) and fasting plasma glucose (t=4.27, p<0.0001); plasma adiponectin concentrations were negatively associated with hsCRP (t=-3.31, p=0.0016); and positively with high density lipoprotein cholesterol (t=2.32, p=0.02). Children in the highest quartile of leptin/adiponectin (L/A) ratio demonstrated significantly higher BMI, systolic blood pressure, hsCRP, triglycerides and fasting glucose and the lowest high density lipoprotein (HDL) compared to lower L/A ratio quartiles. CONCLUSIONS Alterations in plasma leptin and adiponectin may help to reclassify non-obese children, detecting those with more unfavorable risk profiles independent of BMI status.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex and heterogeneous disease characterized by central obesity, impaired glucose metabolism, dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension, insulin resistance and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. In 2006, a neurotrophic hypothesis of the etiopathogenesis of MetS was launched. This hypothesis considered the neurotrophins a key factor in MetS development. Chronic inflammatory and/or psychoemotional distress provoke a series of neuroimmunoendocrine interactions such as increased tissue and plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines and neurotrophins, vegetodystonia, disbalance of neurotransmitters, hormones and immunity markers, activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis, insulin resistance, and atherosclerosis. An early and a late clinical stage in the course of MetS are defined. Meanwhile, evidence of supporting results from the world literature accumulates. This enables the transformation of the definition of the neurotrophic hypothesis into a neurotrophic theory of MetS. The important role of two neurotrophic factors, i.e. the nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor as well as of the proinflammatory cytokines, neurotransmitters, adipokines and, especially, of leptin for the development of MetS, obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus is illustrated. There are reliable scientific arguments that the metabotrophic deficit due to reduced neurotrophins could be implicated in the pathogenesis of MetS, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and atherosclerosis as well. A special attention is paid to the activity of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis after stress. The application of the neurotrophic theory of MetS could contribute to the etiological diagnosis and individualized management of MetS by eliminating the chronic distress, hyponeurotrophinemia and consequent pathology. It helps estimating the risk, defining the prognosis and implementing the effective prevention of this socially significant disease as evidenced by the dramatic recent growth of the world publication output on this interdisciplinary topic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS In this present study, we aimed: (i) To clarify if prediabetes is associated with subclinical inflammation independent of underlying obesity, and (ii) to evaluate the effect of postload glucose concentration on subclinical inflammation markers in a group of patients with elevated fasting glucose. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a cohort of 165 patients with newly detected fasting hyperglycemia, according to 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), subjects were classified either as newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (diabetes group, n = 40), impaired fasting glucose (IFG) plus impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (IFG/IGT group, n = 42) or IFG only (IFG group, n = 83). A control group (n = 47) consisted of age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched healthy subjects with a normal OGTT. Circulating concentrations of lipids, insulin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were measured. HOMA index was calculated. RESULTS Subclinical inflammation markers were elevated in patients with diabetes and IFG/IGT compared to healthy controls and also IFG patients (diabetes vs. control: p < 0.05 for hsCRP, IL-8, and IL-6; IFG/IGT vs. control: p < 0.05 for hsCRP, and IL-6; diabetes vs. IFG: p < 0.05 for hsCRP, and IL-6; IFG/IGT vs. IFG: p < 0.05 for hsCRP, and IL-6). In multiple regression analysis, postload glucose concentration was independently associated with circulating hsCRP and IL-6 concentrations when the data was controlled for age, gender, BMI and lipid concentrations (p < 0.05 for hsCRP, and IL-6). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that patients with prediabetes, independent of underlying obesity, have increased concentrations of subclinical inflammation which is mostly driven by postload glucose concentrations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Chronic localized pancreatic inflammation in the form of chronic pancreatitis is an established risk factor for human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) development. Constitutive activation of inflammation-related signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat)3 signaling has been implicated in the development and progression a number of malignancies, including PDAC. Although, the Janus Kinase (Jak)/Stat pathway is a potential drug target, clinicopathological, molecular, and prognostic features of Stat3-activated PDAC remain uncertain. Our aim was to determine the clinicopathological impact of this inflammatory pathway in resectable PDAC. METHODS Using a tissue microarray-based cohort of PDAC from 86 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy with curative intent and complete clinicopathological data available, we evaluated expression of the interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R)/Jak/Stat pathway by immunohistochemistry. IL-6R, Jak, phospho (p)-Jak, Stat3, pStat3(Tyr705), and pStat3(Ser727) were assessed in PDAC and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia. A Cox regression multivariate analysis model was used to determine factors influencing survival. Activation of the IL-6R/Jak/Stat3 pathway was compared with the systemic inflammatory response as measured by serum C-reactive protein levels. RESULTS High pJak was associated with reduced overall survival in multivariate analysis when compared with those with moderate or low expression (p = 0.036; hazard ratio (HR) = 1.68) as was pStat3(Tyr705) (p < 0.001; HR = 2.66) independent of lymph node status and tumor grade. Patients with a combination of pJakhigh/pStat3(Tyr705) high expression had an especially poor prognosis (median survival of 8.8 months; 95 % CI, 4.4-13.2). While the IL-6R/Jak/Stat pathway did not correlate with serum C-reactive protein levels, high pStat3 expression was associated with a reduction in the density of the local tumoral immune response. CONCLUSION Activation of the Jak/Stat3 pathway via phosphorylation was associated with adverse outcome following resection of PDAC with curative intent supporting potential roles for pJak and pStat3 as prognostic biomarkers markers and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest comorbidity between major depressive disorder (MDD) and metabolic syndrome. For both disorders, impaired serotoninergic neurotransmission and inflammatory factors have been suggested. The objective of this study was to investigate the concentration of platelet serotonin, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in MDD patients with and without metabolic syndrome. The second goal was to investigate the association of the concentrations of platelet serotonin, IL-6 and CRP with individual components of metabolic syndrome in MDD patients. METHODS A total of 145 MDD patients were included in the study (diagnosed according DSM IV TR criteria). The metabolic syndrome was defined according to the criteria of the American National Cholesterol Education Program-Treatment Panel III (ATP III). Inflammation factors (IL-6 and CRP) and platelet serotonin concentration were assessed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS MDD patients with metabolic syndrome showed lower platelet serotonin and higher IL-6 and CRP concentrations when compared to MDD patients without metabolic syndrome. An inverse correlation was found between platelet serotonin and waist circumference and serum glucose levels. A positive correlation was found between IL-6 and glucose or triglyceride concentrations, while the correlation with HDL cholesterol was negative. LIMITATIONS Data on dietary habits or physical activity prior to hospitalisation were not collected. Also, the study was a cross-sectional without a prospective design. CONCLUSION Metabolic syndrome in patients with MDD may be associated with reduced concentrations of platelet serotonin and increased concentrations of IL-6 and CRP.

Abstract
The major evolutionary advance represented in the human immune system is a mechanism of antigen-directed immunity in which tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and TNF receptors (TNFRs) play essential roles. Binding of TNF-α to the 55-kDa type I TNFR (TNFR1, TNFRSF1A, CD120a, p55) or the 75-kDa type II TNFR (TNFR2, TNFRSF1B, CD120b, p75) activates signaling pathways controlling inflammatory, immune and stress responses, as well as host defense and apoptosis. Multiple studies have investigated the role of TNFRs in the development of early and late renal failure (diabetic nephropathy, nephroangiosclerosis, acute kidney transplant rejection, renal cell carcinoma, glomerulonephritis, sepsis and obstructive renal injury). This article reviews the general characteristics, the analytical aspects and the biology of TNFRs in this domain. In addition, the potential therapeutic application of specific TNFR blockers is discussed.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation characterized by inflamed adipose tissue with increased infiltration of macrophages. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlations between the serum concentration of allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1), which is a marker of activated macrophages, and metabolic parameters. The serum AIF-1 concentrations were measured in 303 healthy subjects (163 men and 140 women). We then evaluated the relationships between the serum AIF-1 concentrations and metabolic parameters, including fasting plasma glucose levels, serum lipid concentration, uric acid concentration, and waist circumference. The serum AIF-1 concentrations positively correlated with levels of fasting plasma glucose (r = 0.159, P =.0056), hemoglobin A(1c) (r = 0.169, P = .0032), triglycerides (r = 0.137, P = .0172), and uric acid (r = 0.146, P = .0108) and with waist circumference (r = 0.221, P = .0001) and body mass index (r = 0.185, P = .0012), whereas the serum AIF-1 concentrations inversely correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (r = -0.178, P = .0019). Stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that hemoglobin A(1c) level (β = .133, F = 5.490, P < .05) and waist circumference (β = .197, F = 11.954, P < .05) were independent predictors of the serum AIF-1 concentrations. The serum AIF-1 concentrations correlated with clinical and biochemical metabolic parameters. Allograft inflammatory factor-1 may be a significant predictor of activated macrophages as well as cardiovascular disease in humans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Elevated plasma interleukin-18 (IL-18) has been linked to onset of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications. However, so far this association has been shown only in predominantly white populations. We examined IL-18 levels and their association with incident DM in a racially heterogeneous population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a nested case-cohort design representing a 9-year follow-up of 9,740 middle-aged, initially healthy, nondiabetic white and African American participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, we selected and measured analytes on race-stratified (50% white, 50% African American) random samples of both cases of incident diabetes (n = 548) and eligible members of the full cohort (n = 536). RESULTS Baseline IL-18 levels were significantly higher in white participants compared with African American participants (P < 0.001). Although white participants in the fourth (versus first) quartile of IL-18 levels had a significant hazard ratio (HR) for developing DM (HR: 2.1, 95% CI: 1.3-3.4), after adjustment for age, sex, and study center, no difference was seen among African Americans (HR: 1.0, 95% CI: 0.6-1.7). Unlike those in African Americans, IL-18 levels in whites had a significant correlation with age (P < 0.01); anthropometric characteristics such as waist circumference (P < 0.001), height (P = 0.04), waist-to-hip ratio (P < 0.001), and BMI (P < 0.01); and total (P < 0.001) and high-molecular-weight (P < 0.001) adiponectin. CONCLUSIONS There are racial differences in levels of IL-18 and the association of IL-18 with risk factors and incident type 2 DM. In addition, there seems to be a complex interplay of inflammation and adiposity in the development of DM.

Abstract
The metabolic syndrome is basically a maturity-onset disease. Typically, its manifestations begin to flourish years after the initial dietary or environmental aggression began. Since most hormonal, metabolic, or defense responses are practically immediate, the procrastinated response do not seem justified. Only in childhood, the damages of the metabolic syndrome appear with minimal delay. Sex affects the incidence of the metabolic syndrome, but this is more an effect of timing than absolute gender differences, females holding better than males up to menopause, when the differences between sexes tend to disappear. The metabolic syndrome is related to an immune response, countered by a permanent increase in glucocorticoids, which keep the immune system at bay but also induce insulin resistance, alter the lipid metabolism, favor fat deposition, mobilize protein, and decrease androgen synthesis. Androgens limit the operation of glucocorticoids, which is also partly blocked by estrogens, since they decrease inflammation (which enhances glucocorticoid release). These facts suggest that the appearance of the metabolic syndrome symptoms depends on the strength (i.e., levels) of androgens and estrogens. The predominance of glucocorticoids and the full manifestation of the syndrome in men are favored by decreased androgen activity. Low androgens can be found in infancy, maturity, advanced age, or because of their inhibition by glucocorticoids (inflammation, stress, medical treatment). Estrogens decrease inflammation and reduce the glucocorticoid response. Low estrogen (infancy, menopause) again allow the predominance of glucocorticoids and the manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. It is postulated that the equilibrium between sex hormones and glucocorticoids may be a critical element in the timing of the manifestation of metabolic syndrome-related pathologies.

Abstract
AIM To describe biomarkers of inflammation and markers related to the metabolic syndrome (MS) in healthy obese Danish adolescent and compare to a normal-weight group. METHODS Fifty-one obese and 30 normal-weight adolescents (12-15 years) were included. Anthropometry and blood pressure were measured, and blood was sampled. RESULTS Obese adolescents had significantly higher blood pressure, insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, C-peptide, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), triglyceride, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor alpha and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol values, compared with normal-weight adolescents, whereas there were no differences between the groups for glucose, free fatty acids or faecal calprotectin. Within the obese group insulin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and CRP were positively associated with body mass index (BMI) Z-scores. The MS was present in 14% of obese adolescents. CRP was positively associated with most anthropometric measures within the obese group, and in multiple linear regression analysis both BMI Z-score and the sum of skin folds explained a considerable part (R(2) = 0.421) of the variation in CRP. CONCLUSION Otherwise healthy Danish obese adolescents had marked low-grade inflammation, elevated biomarkers of the MS and high prevalence of the MS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytokines produced by adipose tissue, including adiponectin, have been associated with metabolic abnormalities. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of insulin sensitivity measured by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic insulin clamp with plasma adiponectin and other adipokines in young adult African Americans. METHODS Participants were healthy African Americans. Anthropometric measures, blood pressure, an oral glucose tolerance test and an euglycemic hyperinsulinemic insulin clamp were performed. Insulin sensitivity measurements were adjusted for percentage of fat mass. Plasma concentrations of adiponectin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were assayed on plasma from fasting blood samples. Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression models were fitted to assess the association between glucose sensitivity and cytokines. RESULTS In univariate analysis, there were statistically significant correlations of plasma adiponectin level (r = 0.19, P = 0.004), PAI-1 (r = -0.19, P = 0.020) and IL-6 (r = -0.24, P < 0.001) with measures of insulin sensitivity after adjustment for both fat mass and insulin clamp concentration. In multivariate analysis, adiponectin [geometric mean ratios (GMR) 1.15, P = 0.007], PAI-1 (GMR 0.998, P = 0.021) and body mass index (GMR 0.95, P < 0.001) were each independently associated with insulin sensitivity. For IL-6, there was no significant association with insulin sensitivity independent of obesity. CONCLUSION These data show a significant and independent positive correlation of adiponectin with insulin sensitivity. The relationship of IL-6 with insulin sensitivity seems to be dependent on adiposity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are associated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases. Decreased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels might play a role in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders. The aim of our study was to estimate serum BDNF concentration in nonobese women divided into subgroups according to their insulin sensitivity. DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 46 young, healthy, nonobese women. Insulin sensitivity was estimated with the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique. Then, participants were divided into subgroups of high (mean, 12.79±2.01mg/kg fat-free mass/min) and low insulin sensitivity (mean, 7.33±1.66mg/kg fat-free mass/min). RESULTS We observed decreased serum BDNF concentration in women with low insulin sensitivity in comparison to high insulin sensitivity group (3306.11±603.10 vs 4141.91±755.37pg/mL, p=0.001). Serum BDNF was positively related to insulin sensitivity (r=0.43, p=0.003). This correlation remained significant after adjustment for other estimated parameters. CONCLUSIONS Serum BDNF is decreased in young nonobese women with low insulin sensitivity. Early detection and prevention of insulin resistance might be useful in the prevention of neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
The term metabolic syndrome (MS) refers to a conglomeration of many metabolic disorders. Recent studies suggest that inflammation plays a vital role in MS. There are however no data available on the recently characterized novel T-cell-derived cytokine interleukin (IL)-17 in MS; studies on the anti-inflammatory cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)-β are also limited. The aim of the study was to look at IL-17 and TGF-β levels in subjects with and without MS. The study subjects were recruited from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study (CURES), a population-based study in Chennai (formerly Madras) in southern India. Group 1 consisted of subjects without MS (non-MS) (n = 98) and group 2 consisted of subjects with MS (n = 156). MS was defined using the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria modified for waist, according to the World Health Organization Asia Pacific guidelines. Serum IL-17 and TGF-β levels were estimated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Interleukin-17 levels were decreased (P < .001) and TGF-β levels (P < .001) were increased in subjects with MS compared to those without. With an increase in the number of metabolic risk factors, the IL-17 levels showed a decline, whereas the TGF-β levels showed an increase (P < .001). With respect to individual components of MS, TGF-β and IL-17 showed a significant association with blood pressure and blood glucose even after adjusting for age and sex. We report that IL-17 levels are decreased, whereas TGF-β levels are increased, among Asian Indians with MS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is strongly associated with obesity and diabetes mellitus. IL-18 is associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Our aim was to investigate the relationship of IL-18 with adiponectin and liver histology in subjects with NAFLD who had no additional disorder such as morbid obesity, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. METHODS Plasma levels of IL-18 and adiponectin were measured by ELISA in 96 male subjects with NAFLD [n = 65 for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and n = 31 for simple steatosis (SS)]. RESULTS IL-18 levels were not different between the two groups (p = 0.89). There was no significant association of IL-18 with adiponectin, insulin resistance and histopathological findings. Adiponectin was lower in the NASH group compared to the SS group (p = 0.02) and it was found to be negatively correlated with hepatic steatosis and fibrosis (r = -0.442, p < 0.001 and r = -0.292, p = 0.02, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that circulating IL-18 levels are not altered in male subjects with NAFLD. These results suggest that in the absence of metabolic risk factors, IL-18 per se may not be involved in the pathogenesis of NASH and SS.

Abstract
The cardiometabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of related metabolic abnormalities including abdominal adiposity, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and increased inflammatory and thrombotic markers, which is linked to increased risk of type 2 diabetes, CVD and overall mortality. Several cross-sectional and prospective studies have shown an association between low vitamin D status, as indicated by concentrations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (s25(OH)D), and increased prevalence of the MetS and individual CVD risk factors. These epidemiological observations are supported by mechanistic studies but experimental data are limited. The available data from intervention studies are largely confounded as most vitamin D supplementation trials were mainly carried out to explore the role of Ca in CVD and include Ca in the treatment arms. Inadequate consideration of seasonal effects on s25(OH)D concentrations is also a common design flaw in most studies. Further complications arise from shared risk factors such as adiposity and ageing, which predispose individuals to exhibit both a more pronounced risk profile and relatively lower s25(OH)D concentrations. In conclusion, while epidemiological associations are promising and a rationale for low vitamin D status as a potentially modifiable risk factor for CVD is supported by mechanistic data, suitable experimental data from appropriately designed trials are just beginning to emerge. As yet, this body of literature is too immature to draw firm conclusions on the role of vitamin D in CVD prevention. Carefully controlled vitamin D trials in well-described population groups using intervention doses that are titrated against target s25(OH)D concentrations could yield potentially valuable outcomes that may have a positive impact on CVD risk modification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between depression and insulin resistance has been evaluated in previous studies with conflicting results. This study aimed to explore the relationship between major depressive disorder (MDD) and insulin resistance among nondiabetic young adult men and women in the United States. METHOD Analyses of cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 1999-2002, were conducted. The nationally representative sample consisted of 279 men and 358 women aged 20-39 years. MDD was determined by the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). Insulin resistance was measured by the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance. RESULTS Of 637 subjects, 16 men and 18 women had MDD (weighted percentage = 6.6%, SE = 1.2). Using logistic regression, no significant association was found between MDD and insulin resistance among the nondiabetic young adults in bivariate analysis (β = -0.01, OR = 0.99, 95% CI = [0.38, 2.57], p = .98). A significant interaction effect between gender and MDD was observed. For men, MDD was negatively associated with insulin resistance after adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, waist circumference, smoking status, systolic blood pressure and triglyceride level (β = -2.12, OR = 0.12, 95% CI = [0.02, 0.62], p = .01). No significant association between MDD and insulin resistance among women was found (β = 0.61, OR = 1.84, 95% CI = [0.47, 7.14], p = .38). CONCLUSIONS Overall findings suggest there is no significant association between MDD and insulin resistance among nondiabetic young adults aged 20-39 years. However, gender differences in this relationship were noted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pioglitazone (Pio) treatment induces weight gain in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which could worsen hepatic lipid accumulation, and alter adiponectin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). OBJECTIVE To compare changes in hepatic lipid, serum adiponectin and hs-CRP in diabetics treated with Pio (with and without weight gain) against metformin (Met) treatment, which produces weight loss. DESIGN Fifty-one men and women with T2DM, naive to thiazolidinediones, entered a 16-week, open-label, parallel arm study, where participants were randomized to one of three groups: (1) Pio plus the American Diabetes Association diet (Pio+ADA); (2) Pio plus a portion control weight loss diet (Pio+PC), or (3) metformin plus ADA diet (Met+ADA). METHODS Hepatic lipid was assessed with abdominal computed tomography (CT) and the serum adiponectin and hs-CRP by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at baseline and study end. RESULTS Forty-eight subjects completed the study. The Pio+ADA group gained (mean+/-S.E.M.) 2.15+/-1.09 kg, while Pio+PC and Met+ADA group lost -2.59+/-1.25 and -3.21+/-0.7 kg, respectively. Pio-treated groups (Pio+ADA and Pio+PC) significantly decreased hepatic fat as indicated by increased liver density on CT scan [10.1+/-2.4: 11.4+/-1.0 Hounsfield units (HU)], compared with Met+ADA group (-2.4+/-3.1 HU). The Pio groups demonstrated significantly increased serum adiponectin, (8.6+/-1.5; 7.4+/-1.6 microg/ml) independent of weight change, compared to Met+ADA (-0.14+/-0.6 microgm/ml) group which lost weight. Serum hs-CRP decreased in groups showing weight loss (Pio+PC, -3.1+/-1.7 mg/l; Met+ADA, -1.5+/-1.2 mg/l) compared to Pio+ADA (1.8+/-3.0 mg/l) group that gained weight. CONCLUSIONS Pio treatment in T2DM significantly reduced hepatic lipid and increased adiponectin independent of weight change, while decreasing hs-CRP with weight loss.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine factors associated with baseline neurocognitive performance in HIV-infected participants enrolled in the Strategies for Management of Antiretroviral Therapy (SMART) neurology substudy. METHODS Participants from Australia, North America, Brazil, and Thailand were administered a 5-test neurocognitive battery. Z scores and the neurocognitive performance outcome measure, the quantitative neurocognitive performance z score (QNPZ-5), were calculated using US norms. Neurocognitive impairment was defined as z scores <-2 in two or more cognitive domains. Associations of test scores, the QNPZ-5, and impairment with baseline factors including demographics and risk factors for HIV-associated dementia (HAD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) were determined in multiple regression. RESULTS The 292 participants had a median CD4 cell count of 536 cells/mm(3), 88% had an HIV viral load < or =400 copies/mL, and 92% were taking antiretrovirals. Demographics, HIV, and clinical factors differed between locations. The mean QNPZ-5 score was -0.72; 14% of participants had neurocognitive impairment. For most tests, scores and z scores differed significantly between locations, with and without adjustment for age, sex, education, and race. Prior CVD was associated with neurocognitive impairment. Prior CVD, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension were associated with poorer neurocognitive performance but conventional HAD risk factors and the CNS penetration effectiveness rank of antiretroviral regimens were not. CONCLUSIONS In this HIV-positive population with high CD4 cell counts, neurocognitive impairment was associated with prior CVD. Lower neurocognitive performance was associated with prior CVD, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia, but not conventional HAD risk factors. The contribution of CVD and cardiovascular risk factors to the neurocognition of HIV-positive populations warrants further investigation.

Abstract
The purpose of this project was to examine the influence of resistance exercise (RE) intensities, resulting in different total volume loads on circulating interleukin-6 (IL-6), insulin and glucose response (IGR) to a carbohydrate feeding (CHO), and whether RE-induced IL-6 was associated with postexercise IGR. Fourteen men (21.7 +/- 1.7 years, 83 +/- 14.2 kg), performed 2 RE sessions (low-intensity resulting in high volume [65% 1-repetition maximum (1RM)], LO; high intensity resulting in low volume [85% 1RM], HI); and a nonexercise control trial (CON). Resistance exercise included 3 sets (LO = 12 reps, 12 reps, and failure; HI = 8 reps, 8 reps, and failure) of 8 exercises. Blood was obtained pre- (PR) and post (PO) exercise, and 6 hours postexercise (6H). Twenty-three hours after RE or CON, participants consumed 100 g dextrose (CHO) beverage. Blood was collected before (0 minutes) and 60 minutes after CHO (n = 6, phase 1) or every 30 minutes for a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (n = 8; phase 2). Circulating IL-6, insulin, and glucose were analyzed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, radioimmunoassay, and enzymatic methods, respectively. Total volume load was higher in LO (17,729 +/- 1,466 kg) compared with HI (13,160 +/- 1,097 kg; p < 0.001). Postexercise IL-6 was elevated (p = 0.003) in LO and HI compared with CON (7.4 +/- 1.3, 5.2 +/- 0.7, and 2.5 +/- 0.7 pg.mL, respectively), with LO IL-6 greater than HI. Areas under the curve for glucose (p = 0.081; CON: 741 +/- 46, LO: 690 +/- 28, and HI: 660 +/- 21 mM.min) and insulin (p = 0.075; CON: 6,818 +/- 1,018, LO: 5,056 +/- 869, and HI: 5,405 +/- 1,076 microIU.mL) were not different among trials (n = 8). When 0- and 60-minute values were compared (n = 14), insulin was lower at 60 minutes in LO and HI compared with CON (55 + 9.1, 83 +/- 13, 105 +/- 13 microIU.mL, respectively) with LO insulin being lower than HI (p < 0.001). No relationship was observed between PO IL-6 and IGR, but PR IL-6 was negatively related to both PR (r = -0.043, p < 0.05) and 60 minutes (r = -0.59, p < 0.01) glucose (n = 14). These results indicate that TVL contributes to RE-induced IL-6 release and that TVL may be more important than RE intensity when improvements in glucose tolerance or IS are the goal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Niacin increases blood glucose, but whether the degree of increase is associated with increasing body mass index (BMI) is unknown. We evaluated the effect of extended-release niacin initiation on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and the development of new-onset diabetes mellitus (DM) in relation to body mass index (kg/m(2)) in nondiabetic patients. METHODS This retrospective observational study used data from six facilities within a geographical region of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Patients included were 18 years of age or older and on a stable extended-release niacin dose (minimum 100 days) of at least 250 mg/day between January, 2001, and April, 2007. Patients were excluded if they were new to the VA, on corticosteroids or insulin, if medication adherence was <80%, or if they met criteria for DM. RESULTS A total of 811 nondiabetic patients taking extended-release niacin initiation were studied. FPG after niacin initiation was stastically significantly correlated with increasing BMI (P < 0.001, R = 0.144 Pearson correlation coefficient). Factors independently associated with change in FPG using multiple linear regression were BMI (P = 0.043), baseline average glucose (P < 0.001), and baseline average triglycerides (P = 0.037). Of all patients started on niacin, 220 (27.1%) patients developed DM after niacin initiation. BMI, (P = 0.002) and baseline average glucose (P < 0.001) were independent predictors of the development of new-onset DM (logistic regression analysis). CONCLUSIONS We found an association between increasing BMI and increasing FPG and diagnosis of new-onset DM after initiation of extended-release niacin initiation. This suggests that extended-release niacin may increase FPG into the diabetic range, especially for obese patients.

Abstract
The metabolic syndrome is thought to be associated with a chronic low-grade inflammation, and a growing body of evidence suggests that interleukin-18 (IL-18) might be closely related to the metabolic syndrome and its consequences. Circulating levels of IL-18 have been reported to be elevated in subjects with the metabolic syndrome, to be closely associated with the components of the syndrome, to predict cardiovascular events and mortality in populations with the metabolic syndrome and to precede the development of type 2 diabetes. IL-18 is found in the unstable atherosclerotic plaque, in adipose tissue and in muscle tissue, and is subject to several regulatory steps including cleavage by caspase-1, inactivation by IL-18 binding protein and the influence of other cytokines in modulating its interaction with the IL-18 receptor. The purpose of this review is to outline the role of IL-18 in the metabolic syndrome, with particular emphasis on cardiovascular risk and the potential effect of life style interventions.

OBJECTIVE To examine the role of the adipose-tissue-derived low-grade inflammation markers adiponectin and resistin in major depressive disorder (MDD) in a population-based sample. METHOD Serum levels of adiponectin and resistin were measured from 70 DSM-IV MDD subjects and 70 healthy controls. Depression severity was assessed with the 29-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. RESULTS The MDD group had lowered serum adiponectin levels. Regression modelling with adjustments for age, gender, overweight, several socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, coronary heart disease and metabolic syndrome showed that each 5.0 microg/ml decrease in serum adiponectin increased the likelihood of MDD by approximately 20% (P = 0.01). The resistin levels correlated with atypical (P = 0.02), but not with typical depressive symptoms (P = 0.12). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the lowered adiponectin levels in MDD are depression-specific and not explained by conventional low adiponectin-related factors such as such as coronary heart disease and metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is implicated in post-ischemic myocardial dysfunction. Two distinct TNF-alpha receptors are shed from cell membranes and circulate in plasma as soluble sTNFR1 and sTNFR2 proteins. The aim of the study was to establish factors associated with plasma concentrations of TNF-alpha and its receptors in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Since adenosine inhibits the expression of TNF-alpha, two functional polymorphisms in genes encoding enzymes participating in adenosine metabolism, i.e. AMP deaminase-1 (AMPD1, C34T) and adenosine deaminase (ADA, G22A), were analyzed. Plasma concentrations of TNF-alpha, sTNFR1, and sTNFR2 were measured using ELISA in 167 patients with CAD. Common factors significantly associated with higher TNF-alpha, sTNFR1, and sTNFR2 were lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR), older age, higher BNP, lower blood haemoglobin, and the presence of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Higher TNF-alpha and sTNFR1 concentrations were also associated with the presence of heart failure (HF), lower ejection and shortening fraction, the presence of diabetes or metabolic syndrome, lower serum HDL cholesterol, and higher uric acid. In multivariate analysis the common independent predictors of higher TNF-alpha, sTNFR1, and sTNFR2 were lower GFR, lower HDL cholesterol, higher BNP, and the presence of asthma or COPD. There were no associations between AMPD1 C34T or ADA G22A genotypes and TNF-alpha or its receptors. In conclusion, the concentrations of TNF-alpha, sTNFR1, and sTNFR2 reflect the impairment of cardiac and renal function in patients with CAD. Metabolic syndrome and diabetes are associated with higher plasma concentrations of TNF-alpha and its receptors.

Abstract
Metabolic consequences of obesity including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver infiltration are rapidly emerging in the pediatric population. Identifying effective strategies for identifying and treating these obesity related comorbidities in children are crucial to the prevention of future cardiovascular disease and poor health outcomes.This review discusses the pathophysiologic connections between obesity, metabolic disease and cardiovascular risk. Current evidence and recommendations for screening and treatment for the metabolic consequences of pediatric obesity are reviewed.

Abstract
There is a growing awareness that inflammation plays a contributory role in numerous pathologies, including pancreatic carcinogenesis. Inflammatory states are characterized by the creation of reactive oxygen species and the induction of cell cycling for tissue growth and repair. The initiation, promotion and expansion of tumors may be influenced by numerous components that function in the inflammatory response. Recognized risk factors for pancreatic cancer include cigarette smoking, chronic/hereditary pancreatitis, obesity and type II diabetes. Each risk factor is linked by the fact that the inflammatory state significantly drives its pathology. This article will outline how inflammatory mechanisms are etiologically linked to pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
AIMS Severe hypoglycemia can be dramatic in diabetic patients, but its long-term outcome is unknown. We aimed to describe clinical characteristics of type 2 diabetic patients hospitalized for iatrogenic hypoglycemia, and find predictors of long-term mortality, with a special regard to anti-hyperglycemic regimens. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 126 episodes of severe hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetic patients. We collected data on the event (coma, pre-hospital fall, glucose level, duration of hypoglycemia), concomitant risk factors, diabetic complications and chronic comorbidities. We divided patients according to the use of insulin or oral agents (OHAs). In-hospital outcomes were acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and duration of hospitalization. We finally assessed long-term mortality. RESULTS Hypoglycemia due to OHA was associated with higher prevalence of coma and longer duration than hypoglycemia due to insulin. OHA use was also associated with a longer hospital stay, but no increase in the incidence of ACS. Overall mortality after a 2-year median follow-up was 42.1%. Despite the apparent worse presentation of hypoglycemic episodes associated with OHA use, this did not lead to an increased long-term mortality. CONCLUSIONS Severe iatrogenic hypoglycemia in OHA-treated patients has a worse presentation, but is not associated with a higher long-term mortality than in insulin-treated patients.
