The association of perirenal adipose tissue accumulation with left ventricular hypertrophy and the mediating role of insulin resistance: a cross-sectional study involving 1112 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective: Recent studies have underscored the metabolic and cardiovascular regulatory capacity of perirenal adipose tissue (PAT), implicating its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). This investigation aims to assess the relationship between increased PAT mass and LVH, while also examining the potential mediating role of insulin resistance in this relationship among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Method: 1112 individuals with T2DM were prospectively recruited for this study.

Monocytes to Apolipoprotein A1 ratio is associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The monocyte-to-Apolipoprotein A1 ratio (MAR) emerges as a potentially valuable inflammatory biomarker indicative of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD). Accordingly, this investigation primarily aims to assess the correlation between MAR and MASLD risk. A cohort comprising 957 individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) participated in this study.

The Interplay of Systemic Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Connecting Perirenal Adipose Tissue to Hyperuricemia in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Mediation Analysis.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that increased perirenal adipose tissue (PAT) may trigger systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, potentially contributing to hyperuricemia (HUA). This study aimed to explore the link between PAT and HUA risk, and the potential mediating role of inflammation and oxidative stress.

Methods: This study recruited 903 participants with T2DM.

Systemic immune-inflammation index mediates the association between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and sub-clinical carotid atherosclerosis: a mediation analysis.

Background: Limited research has been conducted to quantitatively assess the impact of systemic inflammation in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and sub-clinical carotid atherosclerosis (SCAS). The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), which integrates inflammatory cells, has emerged as a reliable measure of local immune response and systemic inflammation Therefore, this study aims to assess the mediating role of SII in the association between MAFLD and SCAS in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Method: This study prospectively recruited 830 participants with T2DM from two centers.
