RESUMO

The progression of obesity involves several molecular mechanisms that are closely associated with the pathophysiological response of the disease. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is one such factor. Lipotoxicity disrupts endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis in the context of obesity. Furthermore, it induces ER stress by activating several signaling pathways via inflammatory responses and oxidative stress. ER performs crucial functions in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism; thus, triggers such as lipotoxicity can promote the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the organelle. The accumulation of these proteins can lead to metabolic disorders and chronic inflammation, resulting in cell death. Thus, alternatives, such as flavonoids, amino acids, and polyphenols that are associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses have been proposed to attenuate this response by modulating ER stress via the administration of nutrients and bioactive compounds. Decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress can reduce the expression of several ER stress markers and improve clinical outcomes through the management of obesity, including the control of body weight, visceral fat, and lipid accumulation. This review explores the metabolic changes resulting from ER stress and discusses the role of nutritional interventions in modulating the ER stress pathway in obesity.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Cardiovascular diseases are the main causes of death in the world. They are associated with the presence of risk factors such as obesity and dyslipidemia. Our objectives were to verify association between body mass index (BMI) and abnormalities in children's lipid profile evaluated during well-child visits, seeking to identify the frequency of each disorder in this population. METHODS: A cross-sectional study examined anthropometric data and laboratory results of children aged 2 to 9 (n=363) at a pediatric clinic between 2014 and 2017. Logistic and linear regression models were employed to assess associations between variables. RESULTS: Mean age was 6.3 ± 2.2 years; 187 (51.5 %) were male; 253 (69.7 %) were aged between 5 and 9 years old. A total of 114 (31.4 %) presented excess body weight and 53 (14.6 %) had obesity/severe obesity. Dyslipidemia was detected in 114 (34.4 %) children. Triglycerides was the most frequently altered lipid fraction (18.5 %), followed by HDL-c (16.8 %) and LDL-c (9.1 %). There was an association between hypertriglyceridemia (p=0.013) and low HDL-c (p=0.028) with obesity. BMI z-score showed a positive correlation with triglycerides (p=0.011) and a negative correlation with HDL-c (p=0.039). No association was observed between LDL-c and BMI. CONCLUSIONS: Excess body weight and dyslipidemia were seen in one-third of evaluated children. Elevations in triglycerides concentration were correlated with increased in BMI z-score. These findings point to the importance of monitoring nutritional status in well-child visits and performing universal screening for dyslipidemia in children, regardless of BMI.

RESUMO

Myonectin has shown beneficial effects on lipid regulation in murine models; therefore, it may have implications in the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome (MS). We evaluated the relationship between serum myonectin and serum lipids, global and regional fat mass, intramuscular lipid content, and insulin resistance (IR) in adults with metabolic risk factors. This was a cross-sectional study in sedentary adults who were diagnosed with MS or without MS (NMS). Serum myonectin was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, lipid profile by conventional techniques, and free fatty acids (FFA) by gas chromatography. Body composition was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and intramuscular lipid content through proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the right vastus lateralis muscle. IR was estimated with the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR). The MS (n = 61) and NMS (n = 29) groups were comparable in age (median (interquartile range): 51.0 (46.0-56.0) vs. 53.0 (45.5-57.5) years, p > 0.05) and sex (70.5% men vs. 72.4% women). MS subjects had lower serum levels of myonectin than NMS subjects (1.08 (0.87-1.35) vs. 1.09 (0.93-4.05) ng·mL-1, p < 0.05). Multiple linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, fat mass index and lean mass index showed that serum myonectin was negatively correlated with the android/gynoid fat mass ratio (R2 = 0.48, p < 0.01), but not with the lipid profile, FFA, intramuscular lipid content or HOMA-IR. In conclusion, serum myonectin is lower in subjects with MS. Myonectin negatively correlates with a component relevant to the pathophysiology of MS, such as the android/gynoid fat mass ratio, but not with other components such as FFA, intramuscular fat or IR.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To investigate adherence to statin therapy using three self-reporting adherence measures in patients with coronary artery disease and to compare the three measures. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out at a multidisciplinary outpatient clinic of cardiology at a teaching hospital in south-eastern Brazil in patients with coronary artery disease who were using statins. The sample consisted of 148 patients who were selected from April 2018 to February 2019. Adherence to statin therapy was determined by the Measure of Adherence to Treatment, Visual Analogue Scale of adherence and 7-day recall. A descriptive analysis and determination of the level of agreement between the adherence scales by the Cohen kappa coefficient were performed. RESULTS: The study included 148 patients (104 (70.3%) men, median age 62 years) diagnosed with coronary artery disease who were using statins. The adherence to statin therapy was 98.6% using the Measure of Adherence to Treatment, 95.9% with the Visual Analogue Scale and 95.3% with 7-day recall. Agreement between the Measure of Adherence to Treatment and the Visual Analogue Scale (0.277) and the Measure of Adherence to Treatment and 7-day recall (0.241) was low. There was a high level of agreement between the Visual Analogue Scale and 7-day recall (0.759). CONCLUSIONS: The adherence Visual Analogue Scale and 7-day recall were shown to be easy to apply, low-cost adherence measures to identify adherence to statins in patients with coronary artery disease. The Measure of Adherence to Treatment may also be used to provide information regarding the specific reasons for non-adherent behaviour.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective: To analyze the lipid profile and cardiovascular risk of overweight and obese adolescents and correlate the findings with anthropometric measurements. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study on overweight and obese adolescents of both sexes (aged 14 to 18 years old). The collected variables were sex, weight, height, age, total cholesterol, triglycerides, High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Castelli Risk Indices I and II were calculated. These indices were classified into cutoff points to stratify cardiovascular risk. The anthropometric profile was evaluated by Z score according to Body Mass Index for age. Significance level was considered as p≤0.05. Results: A total of 146 adolescents participated in the study; the mean age was 16.4±1.1 years and most of them were girls (74.7%) and obese (52.7%). The prevalent dyslipidemias were high triglycerides (47.9%), LDL (26.7%), total cholesterol (37.7%), and low HDL (46.6%). Most adolescents presented increased atherogenic risk according to the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (55.5%); 15.1% presented high cardiovascular risk according to Castelli Risk Index I; and 13.7%, according to Castelli Risk Index II. Boys presented higher values of anthropometric measurements and Castelli Risk Indices I and II in relation to girls — who, conversely, presented higher values of HDL. There was a positive correlation of the Z score with Atherogenic Index of Plasma and a negative correlation with HDL. Conclusions: The adolescents of the study presented high prevalence of cardiovascular and atherogenic risk according to the evaluated indices. In addition, the increased cardiovascular risk was correlated with higher Body Mass Index.


RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar o perfil lipídico e os índices de risco cardiovascular de adolescentes com sobrepeso e obesidade e correlacionar os achados com medidas antropométricas. Métodos: Estudo transversal com adolescentes com sobrepeso ou obesidade de ambos os sexos (14 a 18 anos). Foram coletadas as variáveis: sexo, peso, altura, idade, colesterol total, triglicerídeos, lipoproteína de alta densidade (HDL-c) e lipoproteína de baixa densidade (LDL-c). Calcularam-se o índice aterogênico plasmático e os índices de Castelli I e II. Eles foram classificados em pontos de corte para estratificar o risco cardiovascular. O perfil antropométrico foi avaliado por meio do escore Z com base no índice de massa corporal para a idade. Considerou-se o nível de significância p≤0,05. Resultados: Foram incluídos 146 adolescentes, com média de idade de 16,4±1,1 anos, a maioria do sexo feminino (74,7%) e obesa (52,7%). As dislipidemias prevalentes foram: triglicerídeos (47,9%), LDL-c (26,7%), colesterol total (37,7%) elevado e HDL-c baixo (46,6%). A maioria apresentou risco aterogênico aumentado pelo índice aterôgenico plasmático (55,5%); 15,1% apresentaram alto risco cardiovascular segundo o índice de Castelli I e 13,7%, segundo o índice de Castelli II. Os meninos apresentaram valores superiores de medidas antropométricas e índices de Castelli I e II em relação às meninas, que, por outro lado, apresentaram valores superiores de HDL-c. Houve correlação positiva do escore Z com o índice aterôgenico plasmático e negativa com HDL-c. Conclusões: Os adolescentes do estudo apresentaram alta prevalência de risco cardiovascular e aterogênico conforme os índices avaliados. Além disso, o risco cardiovascular aumentado foi correlacionado com maior índice de massa corporal.

Introducción: Las alteraciones lipídicas constituyen un marcador de mal pronóstico y en los últimos tiempos se ha postulado como marcador biológico en la evolución de los pacientes grandes quemados. Objetivo: Determinar las alteraciones de la fracción lipídica en los pacientes quemados. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio analítico, prospectivo y de corte longitudinal con el objetivo de determinar las alteraciones de la fracción lipídica en los pacientes quemados ingresado en el Hospital Universitario Manuel Ascunce Domenech de la ciudad Camagüey, en el período comprendido desde enero de 2019 hasta el mes de febrero de 2022. Se estudiaron 30 pacientes en quienes se tuvieron en cuenta las variables: índice de gravedad, las cifras del colesterol sérico y de los triglicéridos, el por ciento de superficie corporal quemada, los patrones lipídicos, la sepsis y el estado al egreso. Resultados: Las cifras medias más bajas de colesterol sérico y las cifras medias más altas de triglicéridos ocurrieron en aquellos pacientes con más de un 30 por ciento de superficie corporal quemada. En los pacientes con índice de gravedad de muy grave, crítico y crítico extremo fue donde se registraron las cifras más bajas de colesterol. En los períodos evolutivos de siete a 14 días los estados de triglicéridos altos se encontraron en grupos de pacientes muy graves y crítico extremos con cinco pacientes en cada grupo, lo que representa el 16,67 % y cuatro pacientes críticos para el 13,33 %. Del total de los pacientes estudiados, en 13 de ellos se presentó un patrón lipídico formado por colesterol bajo con triglicéridos altos, y el 40 % de este grupo presentaron sepsis. Conclusiones: Los grandes quemados presentan alteraciones importantes en el metabolismo de los lípidos con consecuencias desfavorables en su evolución.

RESUMO

Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a genetic entity with autosomal recessive inheritance. Mutations in genes (such as APOC2, APOAV, LMF-1, GPIHBP-1) that code for proteins that regulate the maturation, transport, or polymerization of lipoprotein lipase-1 are the most common causes, but not the only ones. The objective of this study was to report the first documented case in Ecuador. CLINICAL CASE: A 38-year-old man presented with chronic hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, pancreatic atrophy, and severe hypertriglyceridemia refractory to treatment. A molecular analysis was performed by next generation sequencing that determined a deficiency of Lipoprotein Lipase OMIM #238600 in homozygosis. Genetic confirmation is necessary in order to establish the etiology of HTGS for an adequate management of this pathology.

RESUMO

In recent decades, there has been a progressive increase in the prevalence of obesity and chronic kidney disease. Renal lipotoxicity has been associated with obesity. Although lipids play fundamental physiological roles, the accumulation of lipids in kidney cells may cause dysfunction and/or renal fibrosis. Adipose tissue that exceeds their lipid storage capacity begins to release triglycerides into the bloodstream that can get stored in several organs, including the kidneys. The mechanisms underlying renal lipotoxicity involve intracellular lipid accumulation and organelle dysfunction, which trigger oxidative stress and inflammation that consequently result in insulin resistance and albuminuria. However, the specific pathways involved in renal lipotoxicity have not yet been fully understood. We aimed to summarize the current knowledge on the mechanisms by which lipotoxicity affects the renal morphology and function in experimental models of obesity. The accumulation of fatty acids in tubular cells has been described as the main mechanism of lipotoxicity; however, lipids and their metabolism also affect the function and the survival of podocytes. In this review, we presented indication of mitochondrial, lysosomal and endoplasmic reticulum alterations involved in kidney damage caused by obesity. The kidney is vulnerable to lipotoxicity, and studies of the mechanisms underlying renal injury caused by obesity can help identify therapeutic targets to control renal dysfunction.

RESUMO

Resumo Fundamento O aumento significativo de doenças cardiovasculares em países em desenvolvimento alerta sobre seu impacto em populações carentes. Objetivo Identificar a relação de agrupamentos de componentes da síndrome metabólica (SM) com aterosclerose e inflamação crônica em adultos e idosos. Métodos Análise transversal usando dados de dois estudos populacionais de tipo coorte realizados em Florianópolis, sul do Brasil (EpiFloripa Adult Cohort Study, n = 862, 39,9±11,5 anos; EpiFloripa Aging Cohort Study, n = 1197, 69,7±7,1 anos). Pressão arterial (PA), circunferência da cintura (CC), e níveis plasmáticos de lipídio e glicose foram analisados como fatores individuais ou como agrupamentos de componentes da SM (como número de componentes presentes em um indivíduo ou como combinações). Os desfechos incluíram espessura intima-media carotídea (EIMC), placas ateroscleróticas, e níveis de proteína C reativa (CRP). Regressão linear múltipla e regressão logística, ajustadas quanto aos fatores de confusão, foram usadas para análise. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Resultados Indivíduos com PA e CC elevadas, dislipidemia e hiperglicemia (61,5%) apresentaram maiores valores de EIMC e PCR que aqueles que não apresentaram componentes de SM. CC elevada foi um determinante comum de inflamação sistêmica, ao passo que a coexistência de PA elevada e CC elevada (agrupamentos de dois ou três fatores) associou-se com maior EIMC (β entre +3,2 e +6,1 x 10-2 mm; p < 0,05) e PCR (EXPβ entre 2,18 e 2,77; p < 0,05). Conclusão A coexistência de PA e CC elevadas associou-se com maiores valores de EIMC e níveis de PCR. A obesidade central, isolada ou em combinação com outros fatores de risco, teve efeito sobre a inflamação sistêmica.


Abstract Background The significant increase in cardiovascular diseases in developing countries alerts about their impact on underprivileged populations. Objective To identify the relationship of clusters of metabolic syndrome (MS) components with atherosclerosis and chronic inflammation among adults and elderly. Methods Cross-sectional analysis using data from two population-based cohort studies in Florianópolis, Southern Brazil (EpiFloripa Adult Cohort Study, n = 862, 39.9±11.5 years; EpiFloripa Aging Cohort Study, n = 1197, 69.7±7.1 years). Blood pressure (BP), waist circumference (WC), and lipid and glucose levels were analyzed as individual factors or as clusters (either as the number of components present in an individual or as combinations of components). Outcomes included carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), atherosclerotic plaques, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses adjusted for confounding factors were used. The statistical significance adopted was 5%. Results Individuals with high BP, elevated WC, dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia (6.1% of the sample) showed higher IMT and CRP than those negatives for all MetS components. Elevated WC was a common determinant of systemic inflammation, while the coexistence of high BP and elevated WC (clusters of two or three factors) was associated with higher IMT (β between +3.2 and +6.1 x 10-2 mm; p value < 0.05) and CRP (EXPβ between 2.18 and 2.77; p value < 0.05). Conclusion The coexistence of high BP and elevated WC was associated with increased IMT and CRP levels, but central obesity affected systemic inflammation either alone or in combination with other risk factors.

RESUMO

Introdução: Lipoaspiração associada a dermolipectomias é o procedimento cirúrgico mais comumente realizado em cirurgia plástica. Apesar de ser considerada uma cirurgia extremamente segura, algumas considerações devem ser levantadas a respeito dos possíveis efeitos metabólicos que essas cirurgias possam causar. O desenvolvimento da técnica tumescente de lipoaspiração permitiu a remoção de grande quantidade de gordura de modo mais seguro. O objetivo é comparar as variações do perfil lipídico em pós-operatório precoce e tardio de pacientes submetidos à lipoaspiração e dermolipectomias. Métodos: Entre outubro de 2006 e junho de 2012, 40 pacientes do sexo feminino candidatas a cirurgias que envolviam lipoaspiração e dermolipectomias foram acompanhadas prospectivamente e o perfil lipídico foi analisado por meio de exames no pré-operatório e no pós-operatório. As cirurgias realizadas foram: mamoplastia + lipoaspiração, abdominoplastia + lipoaspiração e lipoabdominoplastia + mamoplastia. Resultados: Das 40 pacientes que foram acompanhadas no estudo, 20 pacientes do sexo feminino foram selecionadas (após a aplicação dos critérios de exclusão). Em consonância com nosso estudo, Cazes, em 1996, demonstrou que após 12 meses de pós-operatório de lipoabdominoplastia não houve alteração do perfil lipídico das pacientes. Conclusão: Após análise pré- e pós-operatória de 20 pacientes, observamos que não há alterações estatísticas significantes em relação ao perfil lipídico com tendência de equilíbrio das aferições em um ano em patamares próximos aos observados no pré-operatório.


Introduction: Liposuction associated with dermolipectomies is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in plastic surgery. Although regarded as an extremely safe surgery, some considerations must be taken on the possible metabolic effects of these surgeries. The development of the tumescent technique in liposuction allowed the safer removal of large amounts of fat. The objective is to compare lipid profile variations in the early and late postoperative period in patients undergoing liposuction and dermolipectomies. Methods: Between October 2006 and June 2012, 40 female patients who were candidates for surgeries involving liposuction and dermolipectomies were prospectively followed, and the lipid profile was analyzed through preoperative and postoperative examinations. The surgeries performed were mammoplasty + liposuction, abdominoplasty + liposuction, and lipoabdominoplasty + mammoplasty. Results: Of the 40 female patients who were followed, 20 were selected (after applying the exclusion criteria). In agreement with our study, in 1996, Cazes showed that there were no changes in the lipid profile of patients 12 months after lipoabdominoplasty. Conclusion: After a preoperative and postoperative analysis of 20 patients, it was observed that there were no statistically significant changes in the lipid profile and that the measurements after 1 year were close to those obtained in the preoperative period.

RESUMO

Abstract Background: The use of combined oral contraceptive (COC) has been related to changes in glycemic, lipid metabolism, increased oxidative stress, and systemic blood pressure, which could suggest a higher oxidation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) in women on use of COC. Objective: To test the hypothesis that there is a difference in the plasma values of oxidized LDL among women who use and do not use COC, as well as to evaluate the correlation between it and the lipid profile and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Methods: Forty-two women with ages between 18 and 35 years old, who were eutrophic, irregularly active, with triglycerides < 150 mg/dL, blood glucose < 100 mg/dL, and who used or did not use COC were selected. These women were allocated in the COC group, formed by 21 women on COC use for at least 1 year; and a control group (CG), consisting of 21 women who had not used any type of hormonal contraceptive for at least 1 year. A significance level of 5% was adopted for statistical analyses. Results: It was observed that GCOC showed higher values of oxidized LDL than the CG, respectively 384 mU/mL versus 283 mU/mL (p < 0.01). A positive correlation between oxidized LDL and LDL-cholesterol (r = 0.3, p < 0.05), with total cholesterol (r = 0.47, p < 0.01) and with triglycerides (r = 0.32, p < 0.03) was observed, and there was no correlation with the hs-CRP. In the categorized analysis of oxidized LDL, 71.4% of GCOC women, and 28.6% of the CG remained above the established cutoff point. Conclusion: Women who use COC have higher plasma levels of oxidized LDL, and there is a positive correlation between oxidized LDL and other lipid variables.


Resumo Fundamento: O uso de contraceptivo oral combinado (COC) tem sido relacionado com alterações no metabolismo glicêmico, lipídico, maior estresse oxidativo e pressão arterial sistêmica, o que poderia sugerir maior oxidação da lipoproteína de baixa densidade colesterol (LDL-colesterol) em mulheres que utilizam COC. Objetivo: Testar a hipótese de que existe diferença nos valores plasmáticos da LDL-oxidada entre mulheres que utilizam e não utilizam COC, bem como avaliar a correlação entre ela e o perfil lipídico e proteína C reativa de alta sensibilidade (PCR-as). Métodos: Foram selecionadas 42 mulheres com idade entre 18 e 35 anos, eutróficas, irregularmente ativas, com triglicerídeos < 150 mg/dL, glicemia < 100 mg/dL e que utilizavam ou não COC. Essas foram alocadas no grupo COC, formado por 21 mulheres em uso COC há pelo menos 1 ano; e grupo controle (GC), composto por 21 mulheres que não utilizavam nenhum tipo de contraceptivo hormonal há pelo menos 1 ano. Adotado um nível de significância de 5% para as análises estatísticas. Resultados: Foi observado que o GCOC apresenta valores mais elevados da LDL-oxidada que o GC, respectivamente 384 mU/mL versus 283 mU/mL (p < 0,01). Também foi observado correlação positiva entre a LDL-oxidada e a LDL-colesterol (r = 0,3, p < 0,05), com o colesterol total (r = 0,47, p < 0,01) e com os triglicerídeos (r = 0,32, p < 0,03), não havendo correlação com a PCR-as. Na análise categorizada da LDL-oxidada, 71,4% das mulheres do GCOC e 28,6% do GC mantiveram-se acima do ponto de corte estabelecido. Conclusão: Mulheres que utilizam COC apresentam valores plasmáticos mais elevados da LDL-oxidada, existindo, correlação positiva entre a LDL-oxidada e outras variáveis lipídicas.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study aimed to identify a possible association among high birth weight with overweight/obesity, high arterial blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance in children and adolescents. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study with 719 children and adolescents (6-12 years) stratified according to birth weight (low birth weight [LBW] <2,500 g, adequate birth weight [ABW] 2,500-3,999 g, and high birth weight [HBW] ≥4,000 g). Data collected were anthropometric data, arterial blood pressure levels, lipid profile, and insulin resistance (fasting glucose and insulin, used to calculate homeostatic model assessment-IR). RESULTS: The mean age of schoolchildren was 9.5 ± 2.0 years and 371 (51.6%) were male. LBW and HBW were observed in 79 of 719 (10.9%) and 40 of 719 (55.6%) children/adolescents, respectively. There was no increased risk of overweight (OR 0.9; 95% CI 0.4-2.1; p = 0.964) and obesity (OR 1.4; 95% CI 0.6-3.5; p = 0.588) in HBW group compared to LBW and ABW groups. HBW was not associated with high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. The LBW group was independently associated with higher values of systolic (OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.05-1.10; p < 0.01) and diastolic blood pressure (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.00-1.07; p = 0.044). CONCLUSION: There was no association between HBW with overweight/obesity and classic cardiovascular risk factors in this group of children/adolescents. Only LBW was related to higher blood pressure levels.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed at validating the associations between the consumption of antioxidant nutrients as well as lipid alterations and cardiometabolic risks in adolescents. Methods This cross-sectional study included 327 adolescents aged 14-19 years. Sociodemographic and dietary information, anthropometric and blood pressure measurements, and biochemical data were obtained. Cardiometabolic risk was calculated by aggregating the risk factors, which were expressed as the sum of Z-scores. Poisson regression was performed to estimate the prevalence ratios. Results In boys, low intake of zinc was associated with elevated total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, whereas it was associated with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol levels in girls, thus indicating a cardiometabolic risk. Furthermore, low intake of copper was associated with high triglyceride levels and cardiometabolic risk in girls. The high prevalence ratios of high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol levels and cardiometabolic risk were higher in those with low intake of vitamin A. Among girls, associations were also observed between lower intake of vitamin A and high triglyceride levels. Low intake of vitamin C among boys was associated with elevated high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Among girls, the intake of this vitamin was associated with lower low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. In girls, low intake of vitamin E was associated with low low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and high total cholesterol levels. Conclusion The associations between antioxidant micronutrients as well as lipid alterations and cardiometabolic risk emphasize the importance of encouraging the consumption of foods that are rich in these nutrients to modulate lipid alterations and cardiometabolic risk.


RESUMO Objetivo Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar as associações entre o consumo de nutrientes antioxidantes e as alterações lipídicas e o risco cardiometabólico em adolescentes. Métodos Trata-se de estudo transversal com 327 adolescentes de 14 a 19 anos de idade. Investigaram-se dados sociodemográficos, antropométricos, pressóricos, bioquímicos e de consumo alimentar. O risco cardiometabólico foi calculado por meio da agregação dos fatores de risco, expressa pela soma dos escores Z. Realizou-se a regressão de Poisson para estimar as razões de prevalência. Resultados O baixo consumo de zinco associou-se a elevados níveis de CT e triglicérides para os meninos, e a níveis baixos de HDL-c e elevados de LDL-c e CT para as meninas, demonstrando risco. Além disso, a baixa ingestão de cobre associou-se a altos níveis de triglicérides e risco cardiometabólico para as meninas. A razão de prevalência nos níveis elevados de LDL-c, CT e risco cardiometabólico foi maior entre os adolescentes que apresentavam baixa ingestão de vitamina A. Foram observadas também associações, no sexo feminino, da menor ingestão de vitamina A com altos níveis de triglicérides. A baixa ingestão de vitamina C nos meninos mostrou associações com LDL-c e triglicérides elevado, enquanto nas meninas essa vitamina associou-se com menores níveis de HDL-c. O baixo consumo de vitamina E, para as meninas, apresentou associações com níveis baixos de HDL-c e elevados de CT. Conclusão As associações entre os micronutrientes antioxidantes e as alterações lipídicas e risco cardiometabólico ressaltam a importância de estimular o consumo de alimentos que sejam fonte desses nutrientes, com o objetivo de modular as alterações lipídicas e o risco cardiometabólico.

RESUMO

BackgroundIn cirrhosis the production of cholesterol and lipoproteins is altered.ObjectiveEvaluate the lipid profile by measuring total cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein and triglyceride levels in patients with cirrhosis caused by alcoholism and/or hepatitis C virus infection and determine its association with Child-Pugh and MELD scores.MethodsCross-sectional retrospective study of patients treated at the outpatient clinic in Porto Alegre, Brazil, from 2006 to 2010.ResultsIn total, 314 records were reviewed, and 153 (48.7%) met the inclusion criteria, of which 82 (53.6%) had cirrhosis that was due to hepatitis C virus infection, 50 (32.7%) were due to alcoholism, and 21 (13.7%) were due to alcoholism and hepatitis C virus infection. The total cholesterol levels diminished with a Child-Pugh progression (P<0.001). Child-Pugh C was significantly associated with lover levels of low-density lipoprotein (<70 mg/dL; P<0.001), high-density lipoprotein (<40 mg/dL; P<0.001) and triglyceride (<70 mg/dL; P=0.003). MELD>20 was associated with lower total cholesterol levels (<100mg/dL; P<0.001), very low-density lipoprotein (<16 mg/dL; P=0.006), and low-density lipoprotein (<70 mg/dL; P=0.003). Inverse and statistically significant correlations were observed between Child-Pugh and all the lipid fractions analyzed (P<0.001). The increase in MELD was inversely correlated with reduced levels intotal cholesterol (P<0.001), high-density lipoprotein (P<0.001), low-density lipoprotein (P<0.001), very low-density lipoprotein (P=0.030) and triglyceride (P=0.003).ConclusionA reduction in the lipid profile in patients with cirrhosis due to hepatitis C virus infection and/or alcoholism was significantly associated with the Child-Pugh and MELD prognostic markers. These results suggest that the lipid profile may be used as a tool to assist in evaluating liver disease.


ContextoNa cirrose a produção de colesterol e de lipoproteínas está alterada.ObjetivoAvaliar o perfil lipídico - através da dosagem do colesterol total, lipoproteína de muito baixa densidade, lipoproteína de baixa densidade, lipoproteína de alta densidade e triglicerídeos - de pacientes com cirrose, por álcool e/ou vírus da hepatite C, e verificar sua associação com os escores Child-Pugh e MELD.MétodosEstudo transversal, retrospectivo de pacientes em acompanhamento ambulatorial no Complexo Hospitalar Santa Casa de Porto Alegre, Brasil, no período de 2006 a 2010.ResultadosForam revisados 314 prontuários, destes 153 (48,7%) preencheram os critérios de inclusão, sendo que 82 (53,6%) tinham cirrose por vírus da hepatite C, 50 (32,7%) por álcool e 21 (13,7%) por álcool e vírus da hepatite C. Os níveis de colesterol total reduziram com a progressão do Child-Pugh (P<0,001). Child-Pugh C associou-se significativamente aos níveis mais baixos de lipoproteína de baixa densidade (<70 mg/dL; P<0,001), lipoproteína de alta densidade (<40 mg/dL; P<0,001) e triglicerídeos (<70 mg/dL; P=0,003). MELD>20 esteve associado aos menores valores de colesterol total (<100 mg/dL; P<0,001), lipoproteína de muito baixa densidade (<16 mg/dL; P=0,006), lipoproteína de baixa densidade (<70 mg/dL; P=0,003). Correlações inversas e estatisticamente significativas foram observadas entre Child-Pugh e todas as frações lipídicas analisadas (P<0,001). O aumento do MELD esteve correlacionado inversamente com a redução do colesterol total (P<0,001), lipoproteína de alta densidade (P<0,001), lipoproteína de baixa densidade (P<0,001), lipoproteína de muito baixa densidade (P=0,030) e triglicerídeos (P=0,003).ConclusãoA redução do perfil lipídico, nos pacientes com cirrose por vírus da hepatite C e ou álcool, associou-se significativamente com os marcadores de prognóstico Child-Pugh e MELD. Tais resultados sugerem que o perfil lipídico poderá ser utilizado como uma ferramenta para auxiliar na avaliação da hepatopatia.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: An excess of weight including obesity have reached epidemic rates in all age groups, both in developed and developing countries. It is notable that overweight children and adolescents have a higher likelihood of becoming obese adults and to present health-related problems early in life. OBJECTIVES: [corrected] To verify associations of the lipid and hematological profiles with adiposity in obese adolescents beginning multidisciplinary weight loss therapy. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 85 adolescents of both genders, aged 12-19 years (Tanner staging 3 or 4) and body mass index greater than the 95(th) percentile. The sum of the triceps, subscapular and calf skinfolds and the waist circumference were used to estimate adiposity. Blood samples were collected from all patients after overnight fasting to analyze blood lipids (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides), blood sugar and the hematological profile (hemoglobin, platelets and red blood cells). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients were used for statistical analysis with significance set for p-values ≤ 0.05. RESULTS: There were statistical differences between genders for red blood cells (p-value = 0.000), hemoglobin (p-value = 0.000) and platelets (p-value = 0.002). Positive correlations were found for red blood cells (p-value = 0.031) and hemoglobin (p-value = 0.024) with waist circumference. There was a negative correlation between hemoglobin and the sum of skinfolds (p-value = 0.022). CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate an association between the lipid and hematological profiles and body adiposity in obese adolescents thus reinforcing the importance of treating obese adolescents early to prevent health related problems in adult life.

RESUMO

Introducción: Las dislipidemias representan un factor de riesgo primario para la cardiopatía coronaria. Objetivo: Comparar el efecto sobre el perfil lipídico entre Averrhoa carambola L. o "carambola" vs el Gemfibrozilo en Rattus rattus var albinus. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio aleatorizado. Se trabajó con 39 Rattus rattus var albinus machos; divididos al azar en 2 grupos experimentales (GE) y un grupo control (GC). Sometidos a 2 semanas de acondicionamiento, 2 semanas de alimentación rica en grasa (PIG); posteriormente se administró carambola y Gemfibrozilo a grupos experimentales (GE1 y GE2, respectivamente). Se midió el perfil lipídico en cada etapa y se aplicó la Prueba de Análisis de Varianza y prueba de Duncan. Resultados: El nivel de colesterol sérico: GC basal 80 mg/dL, PIG 97 mg/dL y a las dos semanas 83 mg/dL. En GE1 basal 84 mg/dL, PIG 100 mg/dL, y a las dos semanas 72 mg/dL (p<0.05). En GE2 basal 83 mg/dL, PIG 104 mg/dL y a las dos semanas 80 mg/dL. El nivel de LDL Colesterol sérico: GC basal 47 mg/dL, PIG 66 mg/dL y a las dos semanas 50 mg/dL. GE1 basal 46 mg/dL, PIG 65 mg/dL, y a las dos semanas 39 mg/dL(p<0.05). GE2 basal de 47 mg/dL, PIG de 71 mg/dL y a las dos semanas 42 mg/dL. Los triglicéridos y el HDL no tuvieron cambios significativos por la carambola pero sí por el Gemfibrozilo. Conclusiones: La ingesta de carambola disminuye significativamente los niveles de colesterol total y colesterol LDL.


Introducción: Dyslipidemia represent a primary risk factor for coronary heart disease. Objectives: Compare the effect on the lipid profile between Averrhoa Starfruit, "Starfruit" versus Gemfibrozile in Rattus rattus var albinus. Material and Methods: A randomized study was realized. I worked with 39 Rattus rattus var albinus male; were divided in 2 experimental groups and a group control (GC). They were put under stage of preparation by 2 weeks, alter that, they were feeding with a rich fat diet (PIG) for 2 weeks; later I administered Starfruit and Gemfibrozile to experimental groups (GE1 and GE2, respectively). The lipid profile in each stage was measured and it was applied to the Test of Variance Analysis and test of Duncan.
