Lipid metabolism indices were followed up in 62 patients with diabetes mellitus type II and in 20 healthy persons as controls. An increase of serum triglycerides, very low density lipoproteins and low density lipoproteins, a decrease of high density lipoproteins and cholesterol in the upper reference range were found. Following diabetes compensation these indices became normal. In decompensated diabetes apoprotein A increased, apoprotein B decreased. Diabetes compensation lead to normalization of these indices. A comparative study of these indices in diabetics with and without ischemic heart disease was carried out. It showed a considerable decrease of the high density lipoproteins and a parallel increase of the very low density lipoproteins and low density lipoproteins in the diabetics with ischemic heart disease. The results of the study lead to the conclusion that criterion for diabetes compensation should be not only the blood sugar normalization bur also the correction of the lipid fractions changes.

Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and leukocytes within the arterial wall. By studying the aortic transcriptome of atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E (ApoE) mice, we aimed to identify novel players in the progression of atherosclerosis.

Methods: RNA-Seq analysis was performed on aortas from ApoE and wild-type mice.

Sleep-disordered breathing and cardiometabolic and inflammatory markers in children with overweight/obesity: The role of cardiorespiratory fitness.

Pediatr Obes

January 2025

Department of Physical Education and Sports, Faculty of Sport Sciences, Sport and Health University Research Institute (iMUDS), University of Granada, Granada, Spain.

Objectives: To investigate the association of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) severity with cardiometabolic and inflammatory markers independently of the adiposity levels; and to explore the role of cardiorespiratory fitness in these associations in children with overweight/obesity.

Methods: A total of 109 children aged 8-11 years with overweight/obesity were included in this cross-sectional study. SDB was assessed using a scale of the reduce version of the Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire.

Associations of neutrophil/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio with frailty and its mortality.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

January 2025

Department of Medical Intensive Care Unit, The First Affiliated Hospital, and College of Clinical Medicine of Henan University of Science and Technology, Luoyang, China.

Background: Frailty is an increasingly important determinant in the field of health, and its identification has important clinical significance in the field of critical care medicine. However, there are still a large number of challenges in quick and accurate identification of frailty. This study aims to evaluate the value of the neutrophil/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHR) in frailty and its long-term survival.
