Aim: Increased urinary albumin-excretion is a cardiovascular risk factor. The metabolic syndrome is associated with an increased risk of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and mortality. The aim of this prospective study was to explore the combined associations of microalbuminuria and metabolic syndrome with the risk of incident cardiovascular disease.
Methods: The present study involved 78 patients with metabolic syndrome between May 1 and July 30 in 2009 from cardiology clinic of military hospital in Marrakech. They were followed for 1 year. The metabolic syndrome was defined according to the criteria of International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Microalbuminuria was defined as a urinary albumin excretion of 30 to 300mg/d.
Results: The mean age was 56 years old. The prevalence of microalbuminuria was 38%. There was a significantly positive correlation between the number of components of the metabolic syndrome and the corresponding prevalence of microalbuminuria. Incidence rates of cardiovascular events were higher in the positive microalbuminuria group than the group without microalbuminuria, the difference was significant for composite criteria but not for each one probably because of the small size of effective and limited duration.
Conclusions: There is a strong relationship between microalbuminuria and the metabolic syndrome. Microalbuminuria accounts for the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors, including abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia (intended as an increase in triglyceride levels and a reduction in HDL cholesterol levels), and elevated fasting glucose, that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. With the rising prevalence of metabolic syndrome, effective dietary interventions are essential in reducing these health risks. The Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and olive oil and moderate in fish and poultry, has shown promise in addressing metabolic syndrome and its associated components.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic syndrome that has grown globally to become a significant public health challenge. Hypothesizing that the plasma membrane protein, transient receptor potential ankyrin-1, is a pivotal target in insulin resistance, we investigated the mechanism of action of cinnamaldehyde (CIN), an electrophilic TRPA1 agonist, in skeletal muscle, a primary insulin target. Specifically, we evaluated the effect of CIN on insulin resistance, hepatic glycogen accumulation and muscle and adipose tissue glucose uptake.

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis and affects over 528 million people worldwide. Degenerative joint disease involves cartilage degradation, subchondral bone remodeling, and synovial inflammation, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, and impaired joint function. Initially regarded as a "wear and tear" condition associated with aging and mechanical stress, OA is now recognized as a multifaceted disease influenced by systemic factors such as metabolic syndrome, obesity, and chronic low-grade inflammation.
