Sympathetic overactivity, hypertension and cardiovascular disease: state of the art
Curr Med Res Opin. 2024;40(sup1):5-13. doi: 10.1080/03007995.2024.2305248. Epub 2024 Apr 10.ABSTRACTCardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the most prevalent cause of premature death worldwide. It had been suspected for decades that increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) might play a pathogenetic role in the development and progression of hypertension, heart failure (HF) and CVD. The use of microneurographic techniques to directly assess the SNS has allowed this field to advance considerably in recent years. We now have compelling evidence for a key role of sympathetic overactivity in the pathogenesis and...

Ethnic differences in metabolic syndrome in high-income countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Rev Endocr Metab Disord. 2024 Apr 10. doi: 10.1007/s11154-024-09879-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis review aimed to systematically quantify the differences in Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) prevalence across various ethnic groups in high-income countries by sex, and to evaluate the overall prevalence trends from 1996 to 2022. We conducted a systematic literature review using MEDLINE, Web of Science Core Collection, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library, focusing on studies about MetS prevalence among ethnic groups in high-income countries. We pooled 23 studies that used NCEP-ATP III criteria and included 147,756 healthy partic...

Cystatin C is a predictor for long-term All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in US Adults with Metabolic Syndrome
CONCLUSION: MetS patients with elevated CysC levels have a higher risk of all-cause, CVD, and cancer death. CysC may predict MetS all-cause and CVD mortality.PMID:38597157 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae225 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

A New Insight into Fatty Acid Binding Protein 4 Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications in Obesity ‐Associated Diseases: A Mini Review
FABP4 (Fatty acid binding protein4), a lipid-binding protein, plays a key role in fat metabolism and is linked to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Its inhibition could benefit obesity-related conditions, particularly insulin resistance and diabetes. FABP4's release from adipose tissue influences lipid metabolism and insulin function, correlating with BMI and metabolic syndrome, making it a potential target for therapeutic intervention. AbstractFatty acid binding proteins (FABPs), such as FABP4 (aP2, A-FABP), are essential for cellular lipid regulation, membrane –protein interactions, and the modulation of ...

Evidence related to a vegetarian diet and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: protocol for a scoping review
Introduction Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Given that there is no pharmacological treatment for MASLD, it is imperative to understand whether lifestyle modifications may improve biochemical and pathological outcomes. One commonly proposed dietary modification is the Mediterranean diet; however, vegetarianism may also be a promising intervention. Vegetarianism has been shown to be associated with reduced morbidity and mortality in metabolic syndrome outcomes in coronary artery disease a...
