Ankle-brachial index and subclinical atherosclerosis in type 1 diabetes

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of altered ankle-brachial index (<0.9 or >1.3) in patients with type 1 diabetes and to compare it with the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis by carotid ultrasound. METHODS: Prospective, cross-sectional study in which 45 adults with type 1 diabetes...

Señales aterogénicas tempranas y aterosclerosis subclínica en niños y adolescentes con diagnóstico reciente de prediabetes

Introducción: el inicio de la prediabetes en edades pediá-tricas se ha convertido en un problema cada vez más frecuente, donde la obesidad juega un papel relevante. Los pacientes con prediabetes en la infancia presentan una alta prevalencia de señales aterogénicas tempranas (SAT), ...

Increased serum chemerin levels associated with carotid intima-media thickness

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 79 (3), 2021
ABSTRACT Background: Elevated levels of chemerin can predict future ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Although chemerin is thought to play a role in atherosclerotic inflammation, whether circulating chemerin levels are associated with the severity of atherosclerosis remains to be determined. Objective...

Papel do imunometabolismo, receptores Toll-Like e ECA 2 na COVID-19

No combate à infecção pelo coronavírus 2 da síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SARS-CoV-2), o organismo se utiliza de mecanismos da imunidade inata, dentre eles os receptores Toll- Like (TLR), responsáveis pela sinalização da inflamação através da liberação de mediadores químicos e recruta...

Lipoprotein(a) levels in children and adolescents: Ouro Preto Study

Abstract Background Lipoprotein (a) is a cardiovascular risk factor in adult. Studies have shown the presence of this emergent risk factor in school children, which may contribute to the development of atherosclerosis in adulthood. Objective To evaluate the association between lipoprotein (a) and cardi...

Associations of blood biomarkers and structural changes in atherosclerosis in the Longitudinal study of adult heath (Elsa-Brasil): emphasis on pre-and postmenopausal women

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. Cardiovascular risk prediction is incomplete and new markers may help in the early identification of atherosclerosis. Brazilian epidemiological data in women are scarce. Objectives: To review the impact...

Effect of long-term consumption of oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids on atherosclerotic lesion in LDL receptor knockout mice

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are susceptible to enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidation, leading to the production of secondary compounds that present different physiological effects. Among the PUFA, the products formed from Omega 6 (n-6 FA) and Omega 3 (n-3 FA) fatty acids oxidation can modulate inf...

Incremento de la proteína C reactiva ultrasensible en pacientes con hipotiroidismo subclínico y su posible relación con el desarrollo de daño cardiovascular

INTRODUCCIÓN: El hipotiroidismo subclínico (HSC) se define bioquímicamente por una elevación en la concentración sérica de la hormona estimulante de la tiroides (TSH), con niveles normales de tiroxina libre (T4L). La asociación entre el HSC y el daño cardiovascular ha sido un tema controversial. ...
