Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between carotid artery stiffness, visceral fat, and inflammatory markers in patients with type 2 diabetes.
- It finds that carotid stiffness (measured as the distensibility coefficient) is negatively associated with both visceral fat and levels of inflammatory markers, particularly IL-6 and C-reactive protein (CRP).
- The association between carotid stiffness and visceral fat disappears when adjusting for CRP and IL-6, indicating that the inflammatory markers mediate the relationship.
Objectives: This study evaluated myocardial function in relation to high-energy phosphate (HEP) metabolism in asymptomatic patients with uncomplicated type 2 diabetes mellitus using magnetic resonance (MR) techniques.
Background: Myocardial dysfunction may occur in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the absence of coronary artery disease or left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. The mechanisms underlying this diabetic cardiomyopathy are largely unknown, but may involve altered myocardial energy metabolism.
Background: Type 2 diabetes is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. Because cell-derived microparticles support coagulation and inflammation, they may be involved in atherogenesis. We characterized circulating microparticles both in patients with uncomplicated, well-regulated type 2 diabetes and in healthy subjects, as well as their relationship with coagulation and metabolic control.

Method: Ninety-eight type 1 diabetic patients completed questionnaires on somatic awareness (Somatic Awareness Questionnaire, SAQ), negative affectivity (Positive And Negative Affectivity Schedule, PANAS), symptom beliefs, bustle and variety of daily life. They then performed up to 70 measurements on a hand-held computer, during 4 to 6 weeks, at home.
