Asian Indians are known to be at a higher risk of developing T2DM, but the underlying genetic factor in this population is
still not well understood. T2DM is a complex genetic trait and assessment of disease related intermediate phenotypic traits
is an important initial step towards any systematic genomic study. Therefore, in the present study we have assessed diabetes
related intermediate phenotypic traits of insulin secretion and insulin resistance in the patients belonging to this population.
The study included 157 T2DM patients of either sex ranging in age from 45–80 years and 84 non-diabetic subjects with no family
history of diabetes, ranging in age from 45 to 75 years served as controls. Intermediate phenotypic traits studied were BMI,
W: H ratio, fasting free fatty acid level and Insulin resistance and secretion. Diabetics were found to have significantly
higher W: H ratio (p<0.001), FFA (p<0.001) and HOMA-R (p<0.001) as compared to non-diabetics. However, there was no significant
difference in their BMI and HOMA-β. There was a positive correlation between FFA level and HOMA-R among diabetics, but not
among controls. These findings suggest that in abdominal obesity FFA mediated insulin resistance is an important causative
factor underlying T2DM in this population. Moreover, comparable HOMA-β in diabetics reflects compensatory insulin hyper secretion
in these subjects. There is a need to examine relative contribution and precise nature of genetic factor in their tendency
for central obesity, free fatty acidemia and insulin resistance. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of n-3 fatty acid supplementation on blood glucose, lipid profile and cytokines
in humans. Twenty adult healthy subjects were supplemented with 1g/day fish oil concentrate capsules for 2 weeks. Fasting
blood samples were taken at baseline and again after 2 week intervention. Fish oil supplementation significantly lowered fasting
serum concentrations of total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, very low density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein (P <
0.01). Also high density lipoprotein increased significantly compared with baseline value (P < 0.01). Fish oil did not significantly
altere the fasting blood glucose concentration but significantly reduced the serum cytokines (P < 0.001). This study demonstrated
that eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation altered serum lipids, lipoprotein and cytokine
concentrations in normal human subjects even at the small dose of 660 mg of EPA plus DHA per day. It appears that EPA plus
DHA can be a safe and perhaps beneficial supplement to inflammatory diseases. 相似文献

Hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia in diabetes mellitus induce increased lipid peroxidation and peroxyl radical formation, an
important mechanism in genesis of microangiopathy. We took up a study on oxidative stress, measured by plasma MDA and antioxidant
vitamin status in type − 2 DM patients with and without retinopathy and compared them with a control non-diabetic group. Lipid
peroxidation marker MDA was significantly elevated (p < 0.001) in both the diabetic groups whereas, serum vitamin E and vitamin
C registered a significant fall (p<0.001) as compared to controls. Our correlation study revealed a significant positive association
between plasma MDA with both fasting and 2hr post prandial plasma glucose (r=0.81, p < 0.001, r=0.92, p <0.001) suggesting
the role of hyperglycemia in free radical production. Plasma MDA also depicted significant positive relation (p< 0.001) with
all lipid parameters except serum HDLc pointing the role of dyslipidemia towards lipid peroxidation. Plasma MDA level was
also found to be negatively correlated with both the vitamins (p<0.001, p<0.001) in the study group explaining their protective
consumption in the oxidative process prevailing in diabetic retinopathy. 相似文献

Effect of feeding ripe and unripe papaya fruit pulps were investigated on blood lipid profile of normal male adult albino rabbits by giving them pulps separately at the dose of 15 and 30g per day along with standard diet over a period of six weeks. As compared to controls both fruit pulps resulted in highly significant (p<0.001) and consistent lowering of serum cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides and elevation in phospholipids and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels at 1,3 and 6 weeks of fruit pulp feeding indicating a dose dependent effect. Observations clearly support medicinal value ofC. Papaya in the management of atherosclerosis, fatty liver, ischaemic changes and consequential myocardial infarction. 相似文献

During routine screening, some otherwise healthy individuals who showed remarkably lower post prandial (at 2 hour) plasma
glucose without any symptom were subjected to extended glucose tolerance test and a few of them to extended post meal tolerance
test as well. It was observed that post prandial (at 2 hour) plasma glucose after glucose administration was significantly
lower than the fasting level (p<0.05−p<0.001). However, post prandial plasma glucose at 2 hour after their usual meal exhibited
a significantly higher level than the fasting and post glucose level (p<0.05−p<0.001). Glucose appears to be a stronger agent
than the more natural mixed meal in these individuals in causing post prandial lowering of plasma glucose. Hence, these individuals
are to be evaluated with their usual meals before considering further investigations. Like upper limit, there is the need
to have a consensus lower limit of reference interval of blood glucose level. 相似文献

It has been proposed that oxidative stress plays an important role in male infertility. The aims of this study were to compare
seminal plasma levels of 15-F2t-isoprostane (8-iso-PGF2α), malondialdehyde (MDA), and total (sum of free and bound) homocysteine
(tHcy) from normozoospermic vs. asthenozoospermic men, and to examine the relationships between tHcy and lipid peroxidation
products. The study was a case-control study with a simple random sampling. The case group was consisted of 15 asthenozoospermic
males. This group was compared with 15 normozoospermic men. Seminal plasma levels of 15-F2α-isoprostane and tHcy were measured
using commercially available enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kits. MDA levels were determined by the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay.
The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare two groups. Coefficients of correlation were calculated using Spearman’s correlation
analysis. All hypothesis tests were two-tailed with statistical significance assessed at the p value <0.05 level. MDA levels
were higher in asthenozoospermic subjects than in control subjects (0.72±0.06 μM vs. 0.40±0.06 μM; p<0.05). No differences
were seen in 15-F2α-isoprostane levels in asthenozoospermic subjects and controls (65.00±3.20 pg/ml vs. 58.17±4.12 pg/ml;
p>0.05). Interestingly, tHcy levels were to be slightly higher in asthenozoospermic subjects than in controls (6.18±1.17 μM
vs. 4.8±0.52 μM). Sperm motility was inversely correlated with seminal plasma 15-F2α-isoprostane and MDA levels, respectively
(p<0.05). In summary, seminal plasma levels of 15-F2α-isoprostane and tHcy showed no significant difference between normozoospermic
and asthenozoospermic men. Sperm motility was not correlated with seminal plasma levels of tHcy. No relationship was found
between tHcy and lipid peroxidation. 相似文献

Serum lipid profile, apolipoprotein-B (apo-B), malondialdehyde levels(MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were assessed
in 12 cases of xanthelasma with and without coronary artery disease (CAD)/hypertension (HTN) and results are compared with
healthy controls. Dyslipidemia was found in 65% cases of xanthelasma as compared to 20% healthy controls. Xanthelasma patients
had significantly high malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (p<0.01) and significantly decreased (p<0.05) SOD activity as compared
to controls. Among xanthelasma patients, xanthelasma with CAD/HTN showed higher total cholesterol (236±32.7 vs 188±24.7 mg/dl),
low density lipoprotein cholesterol (157±35.5 vs 113±16 mg/dl) and Apo-B (120.5±9.4 vs 114±19.2 mg/dl) levels as compared
to xanthelasma without CAD/HTN. Results of our study indicate that xanthelasma patients with increased apo-B, MDA and decreased
SOD need cardiovascular monitoring. 相似文献

Current recommendations of the Adult Treatment Panel and Adolescents Treatment Panel of National Cholesterol Education Program
make the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in serum the basis of classification and management of hypercholesterolemia.
A number of direct homogenous assays based on surfactant/solubility principles have evolved in the recent past. This has made
LDL-C estimation less cumbersome than the earlier used methods. Here we compared one of the direct homogenous assays with
the widely used Friedewald’s method of estimation of LDL-C to see the differences and correlation. We used direct homogenous
assay kit to estimate serum LDL-C and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Serum Triglyceride (TG) and Total Cholesterol
(TC) was estimated and using Friedewald’s formula LDL-C was calculated. The LDL-C level obtained by both methods in 893 fasting
serum samples were compared. The statistical methods used were paired t-test and Pearson’s correlation.
There was significant difference in the mean LDL-C levels obtained by the two methods at the TG levels <200 mg/dl (p<0.02)
and TC levels >150 mg% (p<0.001). The correlation coefficient (r) between Friedewald’s and direct assay estimation was 0.88.
Friedewald’s method classified 23.5 % of patients as high cardiac risk whereas there were 17.58% by direct assay.
Both had good correlation even though the serum triglyceride and total cholesterol levels affect the difference in LDL-C estimated
by both methods. Taking into account the cost and performance, Friedewald’s method is as good or even better for classifying
and managing patients. 相似文献

It is well known that dietary intakes play a pivotal role in pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); however, the role of each component of diet has not yet been elucidated. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of onion consumption on prevention of NAFLD/NASH development. Sprague–Dawley rats were fed either high-fat, high sugar diet (model group), or high-fat, high sugar diet plus 7% onion powder (model + onion), or chow diet ad libitum for 7 weeks. Serum levels of fasting glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, liver enzymes, insulin, and hepatic tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) gene expression were determined. Hepatic histology was examined by H&E stain. Model + onion group had significantly lower hepatic steatosis, ballooning, lobular inflammation, and portal inflammation (p < 0.001), lower hepatic TNF-α gene expression (p < 0.001), lower plasma levels of ALT (p = 0.026), AST (p = 0.041), insulin (p < 0.001), TG (p = 0.041), and glucose (p = 0.009) compared with model group; however, weight gain, food intake, plasma total cholesterol and LDL levels were not significantly different between these two groups. Our data indicate that regular consumption of onion can prevent NAFLD even in the presence of the other risk factors such as obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and high energy, fat, and sugar intakes. 相似文献

Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACAD) deficiency is an extremely rare inherited mitochondrial disorder of fat metabolism.
This belongs to a group of diseases known as fatty acid oxidation disorders. Screening programmes have provided evidence that
all the fatty acid oxidation disorders combined are among the most common inborn errors of metabolism. Mitochondrial beta
oxidation of fatty acids is an essential energy producing pathway. It is a particularly important pathway during prolonged
periods of starvation and during periods of reduced caloric intake due to gastrointestinal illness or increased energy expenditure
during febrile illness. The most common presentation is an acute episode of life threatening coma and hypoglycemia induced
by a period of fasting due to defective hepatic ketogenesis. Here, the case of a 4 month old female patient who had seizures
since the third day of her birth and persistent hypoglycemia is described. She was born to parents of second degree consanguinity
after 10 years of infertility treatment. There was history of delayed cry after birth. Metabolic screening for TSH, galactosemia,
17-OHP, G6PD, cystic fibrosis, biotinidase were normal. Tandem mass spectrometric (TMS) screening for blood amino acids, organic
acids, fatty acids showed elevated butyryl carnitine (C4) as 3.40 μmol/L (normal <2.00 μmol/L), hexanoyl carnitine (C6) as
0.92 μmol/L (normal <0.72 μmol/L), C4/C3 as 2.93 μmol/L (normal <1.18 μmol/L). The child was started immediately on carnitor
syrup (carnitine) 1/2 ml twice daily. Limitation of fasting stress and dietary fat was advised. Baby responded well by gaining
weight and seizures were controlled. Until now, less than 25 patients have been reported worldwide. The limited number of
patients diagnosed until now is due to the rarity of the disorder resulting in under diagnosis. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of malaria, especially in pregnancy where natural resistance
is markedly reduced. In the present study we investigated oxidative stress in 315 pregnant women out of which 159 had Plasmodium
falciparum malaria and 154 controls. We evaluated the level of lipid peroxidation products (MDA level) in the plasma, the
activity of erythrocyte antioxidant defense enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC: 1.15.1.1) and catalase (Cat, EC: 1.11.1.6)
as well as the ability to resist oxidative stress by the FRAP (Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma) assay. Total erythrocyte
protein levels were also examined. For the two groups of patients, several differences between the biochemical parameters
tested were found. Median parasitaemia in women with malaria was 25,392 parasites/μl of blood (Range1200–82000), while in
controls we had no parasites found in thin and thick smears. Levels of lipid peroxidation products (MDA) were significantly
higher in patients with parasitemia than in healthy asymptomatic volunteers (mean: 0.844 ± 0.290 and 0.384 ± 0.129 respectively,
p<0.001). This MDA level was higher in primigravidea and also correlates well with parasite density (p<0.001). Catalase activity
in erythrocytes of women with malaria did not differ statistically from that of controls. In contrast, SOD activity of patients
with malaria was found to be significantly higher than that of controls (mean: 0.7899 ± 0.2777 and 0.4263 ± 0.2629 respectively,
p<0.05). FRAP values declined, from parasitemic patients (1.4619 ± 0.6565) compare to controls (2.4396 ± 0.8883, p<0.05),
particularly in the first and third trimester of gestation (p<0.05 and p<0.01 respectively). Finally, total erythrocyte protein
concentrations of women with malaria did not differ from that of the controls. Our results suggest an imbalance between oxidants
and antioxidants in pregnant women suffering from malaria, a situation which could lead to severe damage for either the mother
or the fetus. Therefore, further research should be done to assess the potential benefits of antioxidant supplementation for
the pregnant women suffering from malaria. 相似文献

Nephrotic syndrome is the common chronic disorder characterized by alteration of permeability of the glomerular capillary
wall, resulting in its inability to restrict the urinary loss of proteins. Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by heavy proteinuria,
hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia associated with peripheral edema. The molecular basis of glomerular permselectivity remains
largely unknown. In recent years it has been proposed that Nephrotic syndrome is a consequence of an imbalance between oxidant
and antioxidant activity. The present study was aimed to test that the reactive oxygen species are the mediators of excessive
protein permeability and other complications of Nephrotic syndrome. For this 30 adults with Nephrotic syndrome were studied.
The control group comprised 30 healthy adults matched for age. Serum levels of lipid peroxides, nitric oxide (NO⊙), α- tocopherol,
ascorbic acid, erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity, serum albumin, uric acid, cholesterol and plasma total antioxidant
capacity were measured. Student’s ‘t’ test was applied for statistical analysis. There was a significant increase in lipid
peroxide (1.58 ± 0.42 in controls, 3.64 ±1.3 in patients) (P<0.001) levels in study group as compared with controls. α-tocopherol
(12.95 ± 1.04 in controls, 9.93 ± 1.43 in patients) (P<0.001), erythrocyte SOD activity(1.88 ± 0.9 in controls 1.07 ± 0.5
in patients) (P=0.01), serum albumin(4.06 ± 0.50 in controls, 3.04 ± 0.11 in patients) (P<0.001), and plasma total antioxidant
capacity (847.33 ± 126.83 in controls, 684.00±102.94 in patients) (P<0.001) were significantly decreased. There was non-significant
increase in uric acid (P>0.05), a non-significant decrease in NO⊙ (38.48 ± 15.47 in controls 37.47 ± 14.27 in patients) (P>0.05)
and ascorbic acid levels ascorbic acid,( 0.95 ± 0.31in controls 0.79 ± 0.30 in patients) (P>0.05) in study group as compared
with controls. Imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants may contribute to pathogenesis of proteinuria and related complications
in nephrotic syndrome. 相似文献

Eight weeks of latent iron deficiency in weaned female rats of Sprague Dawley strain maintained on experimental low-iron diet
(18–20 mg/kg) did not significantly change the gross body, weight and tissue weights of brain and liver. Packed cell volume
(PCV) and hemoglobin concentration remained unaltered. However, non-heme iron content in liver and brain decreased significantly
(p<0.001). The activities of glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamic acid decarboxylase, and GABA-transaminase (GABA-T) in brain
decreased by 15%, 11.4% and 25.7% respectively. However, this decrease was not statistically significant. Binding of3H Muscimol at pH 7.5 and 1 mg protein/assay increased by 143% (p<0.001) in synaptic vesicular membranes from iron-deficient
rats as compared to the controls.3H glutamate binding to the synaptic vesicles was also carried out under similar condition. However, the L-glutamate binding
was reduced by 63% in the vesicular membranes of iron deficient animals. These studies indicate that iron plays important
functional role in both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors. 相似文献

Crystal aggregation and retention are critical events for the formation of kidney stones. There is a close association between
crystal development and free radical activity in vivo. In the present study 30 subjects presenting with urolithiasis were
included. Serum levels of total lipid peroxides, nitric oxide (as nitrite), α-tocopherol, plasma ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity were measured. These findings were compared with 30 age matched control subjects
irrespective of sex. Student's ‘t’ test was applied for statistical analysis. There was a significant increase in lipid peroxides
(p<0.001), where as significant decrease in nitrite (p<0.01) and α-tocopherol (p<0.001) levels were observed. Plasma ascorbate
(p>0.05) and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity (p>0.05) was also found to be decreased but the difference was not
statistically significant which suggests that oxidative stress is evident in urolithiasis with depletion in antioxidant status
where as decrease in nitric oxide may be less abetting in disease condition. 相似文献

As antioxidants play a protective role in the pathophysiology of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, understanding the physiological
status of antioxidant concentration among people at high risk for developing these conditions, such as Metabolic Syndrome,
is of interest. In present study out of 187 first degree non-diabetic relatives and 192 non-diabetic spouses, 33.1% and 19.7%
were found to have metabolic syndrome respectively. Subjects with metabolic syndrome (≥3 risk factors) had poor antioxidants
status as reflected by significantly low levels of vitamin A, C & E and significantly increased (p<0.01) oxidative stress
as compared to those without metabolic syndrome. At the same time serum insulin levels and insulin resistance were found to
be significantly high (p<0.001) in metabolic syndrome. A strong positive correlation (r=0.946; p<0.001) between oxidative
stress and insulin resistance was observed in metabolic syndrome. Low levels of antioxidants and increased oxidative stress
with insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome suggests that besides therapeutic life style changes (TLC) as suggested in ATP
III guidelines inclusion of antioxidant vitamins, fruits and vegetable could be beneficial to ward off the consequences of
metabolic syndrome. 相似文献

Serum ferroxidase and albumin levels were determined in 98 patients of tubercuiosis, of whom 49 were freshly diagnosed, sputum
positive (group-I) & 49 were completely treated patients (group-II). Forty nine age and sex matched healthy individuals were
taken as controls. Mean±SD of serum ferroxidase and albumin levels in controls, group-I and group-II was found to be 864.35±106.35
IU/L & 3.91±0.234 g/dL, 1603.76±222.65 IU/L & 3.24±0.518 g/dL and 1001.78±201.63 IU/L & 3.82±0.43 g/dL, respectively. Serum
ferroxidase in group I was significantly higher as compared to controls and group-II (p<0.01). The decreased levels of serum
albumin in group I, as compared to control and group-II was statistically significant (p<0.01). Serum ferroxidase: albumin
ratio (Ferroxidase in International Unit per gram of albumin) in group I (50.47±10.36 IU/g) was significantly higher than
controls (22.22±3.3 IU/g), (p<0.001) while in group II it was significantly lower (26.72±7.18 IU/g, p<0.001) than group-I
and close to control values. Serum ferroxidase: albumin ratio (IU/g) can therefore be incorporated as a surrogate marker to
assist in diagnosis and prognosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. 相似文献

Obesity is risk factor for insulin resistance, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Adiponectin, an adipose-specific protein with antiatherogenic and antiinflammatory effects, were found to be associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance. Our aim to identify possible relationships between circulating adiponectin and obesity as well as obesity related phenotypes. A total of 642, obese and non-obese individuals were included in this cross-sectional study. Hormone and glucose levels were estimated using standard protocols. The adiponectin levels showed a significant decrease with increasing quartiles of insulin resistance index. Subjects in lowest quartile of adiponectin level had a significantly higher risk than those in the highest quartile, with higher body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, percentage body fat, fat mass, fasting insulin, insulin resistance index, total cholesterol (p < 0.001), low density lipoprotein–cholesterol (p = 0.001), very low density lipoprotein–cholesterol (p = 0.002), and Triglyceride (p = 0.002). The present study indicates that adiponectin is significantly associated with obesity, insulin resistance and other obesity related phenotypes. 相似文献

Lipid peroxidation product, malonaldehyde (MDA) and antioxidants were estimated in plasma and erythrocytes of 34 cases of
oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) of different grades with equal number of healthy controls to evaluate the association of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) and OSMF. While plasma MDA was found to be significantly higher in patients (3.3±0.4 nmole/ml, P<0.001)
as compared to controls (2.4±0.5 nmole/ml), plasma beta carotene and vitamin E levels were found to be decreased significantly
in patients (81.7±14.3 μg/100 ml, P<0.001; 9.3±0.9 mg/L, P<0.01 respectively) with respect to healthy controls (110±20.8 μg/100
ml and 10.1±1.2 mg/L). The decrease in beta-carotene and vitamin E was found to be more significant in OSMF grade II and III
than in grade I. After 6 weeks of oral administration of beta-carotene and vitamin E, patients showed increase in plasma level
of these two antioxidants along with decrease in MDA level associated with clinical improvement. 相似文献

Serum sialic acid levels were determined in 66 patients of carcinoma cervix and 25 control women matched for age. Mean sialic acid level was significantly elevated (p<0.001) in cancer cervix patients as compared to controls. Patients were treated with 50–65 Gy of radiation in 5–6.5 weeks. Post-therapy levels were again determined. Radiotherapy caused decline in serum sialic acid level in all the patients except one. Mean post-therapy level was significantly lower as compared to pretreatment level (p<0.001). It was also observed that fall in sialic acid level was significantly higher (p<0.05) in early stage patients as compared to late stage. No relationship was observed in the dose of radiation and fall in serum sialic acid level. A significantly higher fall in serum sialic acid level was observed in patients having complete clinical response as compared to partial or nonresponders to radiation treatment (p<0.001). 相似文献

The levels of fasting glucose, fasting insulin, insulin resistance (IR) and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in a sample population of bipolar disorder (BPD) patients who were newly diagnosed and psychotropically naïve were assessed and compared with an age, sex and racially matched control population. 55 BPD-I patients (15–65 years) who were non-diabetic, nonpregnant, and drug naïve for a period of at least 6 months were included in the study. Diagnosis was made using the structured clinical interview for DSM-IV axis I disorders (SCID IV). IR was assessed using homeostasis model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR); MS was defined according to National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III). Data were compared with 25 healthy controls. BPD patients had significantly higher mean levels of fasting plasma insulin (13.2 ± 9.2 vs. 4.68 ± 3.1 μIU/ml, p < 0.05), postprandial plasma insulin (27.2 ± 14.5 vs. 18.1 ± 9.3 μIU/ml, p < 0.05) and a higher value of HOMA-IR (3.16 ± 2.2 vs. 1.19 ± 0.8, p < 0.05) when compared to the controls. A significantly higher proportion of patients of BPD compared to controls were manifesting levels of fasting plasma glucose, serum triglyceride and blood pressure higher than the cut off while waist circumference and serum HDL cholesterol failed to show any significant difference in the proportion. There was a significantly higher proportion of prevalence of IR between BPD cases and controls (26/55 vs. 2/25, z value 9.97, p < 0.05) while there was no significant difference in proportion of prevalence of MS between these two groups. Within BPD patients, logistic regression analysis showed that age, sex or current mood status (depressed/manic) were not significantly predictive of presence or absence of MS or increased IR. 相似文献
