Metabolically Healthy Obesity Is Not Associated with Food Intake in White or Black Men Nutritional Epidemiology
Conclusion: Healthy obesity in men is not associated with a healthier diet. Future studies need to consider dietary patterns, which may better inform the holistic effect of diet on healthy obesity, in prospective analyses.

Obesity, Insulin Resistance, and Incident Small Vessel Disease on Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The IR score and central obesity are associated with incident lacunar disease but not WMH progression in individuals. Central obesity and IR may be important risk factors to target to prevent lacunar disease.

Association of whole blood viscosity with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings showed that WBV at low shear stress is increased in NAFLD. Moreover, WBV at low shear stress is independently associated with NAFLD even after adjusting other cardiovascular risk factors. PMID: 26444605 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cerebral cortical microvascular rarefaction in metabolic syndrome is dependent on insulin resistance and loss of nitric oxide bioavailability
ConclusionsFurther analyses revealed that the maintenance of glycemic control and vascular nitric oxide bioavailability were stronger predictors of cerebral cortical MVD in OZR than was prevention of hypertension, and this may have implications for chronic treatment of CVD risk under stroke‐prone conditions.This article is protected by copyright.

Relationship Between Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-2 and Left Ventricular Stroke Volume in Patients with Aortic Stenosis
Conclusions In this study, we documented that lower IGFBP-2 levels are independently associated with lower SVi, a powerful predictor of worse outcomes in the mild to moderate AS population. Teaser In aortic stenosis (AS) patients, LV remodeling and function vary extensively from one patient to another. Considering the associations between circulating IGFBP-2 and markers of the metabolic syndrome, the aim of the study was to examine the relationship between circulating IGFBP-2 and left ventricle (LV) pump function as measured by stroke volume index in AS patients with preserved LV ejection fraction.

Making one change — getting more fiber — can help with weight loss
Getting to a healthy weight and staying there is an important way to prevent heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, and other serious conditions. Many of us know firsthand just how hard it can be to reach and maintain that healthy weight. And there’s no shortage of ways to try to get there: You can count calories, carbs, or points. You can cut back on fat or sugar. You can try any number of popular diets that forbid certain foods, or focus on just one (the grapefruit diet, anyone?). Any of these approaches might work for you. Or they might not — in large part because they are complicated. A study published in todayR...

Telmisartan Promotes Potential Glucose Homeostasis in Stroke-Resistant Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats via Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ Activation.
Abstract An angiotensin 2 type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) telmisartan possesses not only an anti-hypertensive effect but also an anti-metabolic syndrome effect due to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) activation. In the present study, we examined the effects of telmisartan on the angiotensin 2 type 1 receptor (AT1R), PPAR-γ, and insulin receptor (IR) in stroke-resistant spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR-SR), comparing them with Wistar rats. Three-months-old SHR-SR rats were divided into three treatment groups, i.e., vehicle (SHR/Ve), low-dose telmisartan (0.3 mg/kg/day, SHR/Low), and high-d...

C-reactive protein: Its correlations with pulmonary function, physical capacity and anthropometric measurements in patients with metabolic syndrome
Conclusions: It was found negative relationships between CRP level with PF and PC. On the contrary, there were positive correlations of CRP with parameters of BC. We think that it can be provided decline in the CRP level and increment in PF improving the functional capacity and body composition with aerobic exercise in patients with MS.

The Insulin-Like Growth Factor I System: Physiological and Pathophysiological Implication in Cardiovascular Diseases Associated with Metabolic Syndrome.
Abstract Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors including obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. A number of theories have been speculated for the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome including impaired glucose and lipid metabolism, lipotoxicity, oxidative stress, interrupted neurohormonal regulation and compromised intracellular Ca(2+) handling. Recent evidence has revealed that adults with severe growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) deficiency such as Laron syndrome display increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. IGF-1 signaling may regulate cont...

Hypertension in diabetes: optimal pharmacotherapy.
Authors: Biswas A, Alvarez A, Mukherjee D Abstract Hypertension is commonly associated with diabetes mellitus. The combination of hypertension with obesity and diabetes is a well recognized entity known as the metabolic syndrome, which shares a common pathophysiology of insulin resistance. The individual components of this syndrome act synergistically to substantially increase the risk of renal disease, stroke, coronary artery disease, and death. Hypertension increases both macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes such as neuropathy, nephropathy, coronary artery disease, stroke, and retinopathy. He...

Food Intake Does Not Differ between Obese Women Who Are Metabolically Healthy or Abnormal Nutritional Epidemiology
Conclusions: Healthy obesity was not associated with a healthier diet. Prospective studies on relations of dietary patterns, which may be a better indicator of usual diet, with the phenotype would be beneficial.

Association between high sensitivity C-reactive protein and metabolic syndrome in subjects completing the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009–10
Conclusions Presence of metabolic syndrome was common in subjects from NHANES 2009–10 and a significant “dose-related” association was confirmed between number of metabolic syndrome conditions and increasing odds of elevated hs-CRP concentration.

Long-term Amelioration of Telmisartan on Metabolic Syndrome-related Molecules in Stroke-resistant Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat after Transient Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion
We examined the effects of telmisartan on metabolic syndrome-related molecules such as insulin receptor (IR), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), and angiotensin 2 type 1 receptor (AT1R) in stroke-resistant spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR-SR) after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO), by administering telmisartan at either 0 (vehicle), .3 mg/kg/day (low dose), or 3 mg/kg/day (high dose), postoperatively, from 3 months of age and performed immunohistologic analysis at 6, 12, and 18 months of age.

Metabolic syndrome in the prediction of cardiovascular events: the potential additive role of hsCRP and adiponectin
Conclusions MS is an important predictor of cardiovascular events and is most harmful in combination with high plasma hsCRP. The clustering of components is especially harmful.

An Overview of the Identification and Management of the Metabolic Syndrome in Chiropractic Practice
This article presents an overview of metabolic syndrome (MetS), which is a collection of risk factors that can lead to diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. The purposes of this article are to describe the current literature on the etiology and pathophysiology of insulin resistance as it relates to MetS and to suggest strategies for dietary and supplemental management in chiropractic practice.
