Prevalencia de hipotiroidismo subclínico y biomarcadores de riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes del Hospital General de Riobamba

El Hipotiroidismo subclínico (HSC) es definido bioquímicamente por una elevación en la concentración sérica de la hormona TSH con niveles normales de T4 libre. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de HSC en los pacientes que asistieron a la consulta de medicina intern...

Relación de la actividad física medida objetivamente con dislipidemias y factores de riesgo cardiovascular en escolares de la Región de La Araucanía

INTRODUCCIÓN: Las dislipidemias favorecen la formación precoz de placas ateroscleróticas, aumentando el riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECVs). La Actividad Física (AF) es un factor protector de ECVs, por lo que el objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la asociación entre AF medida objetivame...

The APOB rs693 polymorphism impacts the lipid profile of Brazilian older adults

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (3), 2020
The apolipoprotein B (APOB) gene contains several polymorphic sites described as risk modifiers for cardiovascular events. The objective of this study was to verify the association of the classic APOB Xba I polymorphism (rs693) with atherosclerotic risk factors in a segment of the Brazilian elderly popul...

Increased levels of plasma IL-1b and BDNF can predict resistant depression patients

SUMMARY BACKGROUND: There is no strong evidence on the link between inflammatory profile and pattern of drug treatment response in depressive patients that could result in Coronary Artery Disease occurrence. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the subclinical atherosclerosis markers, inflammatory pr...

Serum irisin and apelin levels and markers of atherosclerosis in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism

ABSTRACT Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate serum irisin and apelin levels in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) when they were subclinical hypothyroid and become euthyroid after levothyroxine therapy and association of these adipokines with markers of atherosclerosis such as ser...

Consumption of animal-based and processed food associated with cardiovascular risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis biomarkers in men

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the frequency of food consumption in apparently healthy men and their association with cardiovascular risk factors and biomarkers of subclinical atherosclerosis. METHODS In this observational study, 88 men had their food standard obtained through the food frequency quest...

Alta prevalencia de dislipidemias y riesgo aterogénico en una población infanto-juvenil

Rev. méd. Chile; 146 (10), 2018
Background: Dyslipidemias in childhood increase the risk of cardiovascular events in adult life. Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and risk of atherogenicity based in the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) in a sample of school children and adolescents. Material and Methods: Cross-sectiona...

Is Lipid Accumulation Product Associated with an Atherogenic Lipoprotein Profile in Brazilian Subjects?

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (4), 2018
Abstract Background: Lipid accumulation product (LAP), a simple and low-cost tool, is a novel biomarker of central lipid accumulation and represents a potential surrogate marker for atherogenic lipoprotein profile. However, its association with lipoprotein subfractions has not been described in the lite...

Allantoin as an independent marker associated with carotid intima-media thickness in subclinical atherosclerosis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (8), 2018
Allantoin is the main product of uric acid oxidation and was found to be augmented in atherosclerotic plaque in human autopsy and in animal models of atherosclerosis. Uric acid is abundant in human plasma and is prone to oxidation in inflammatory conditions such as atherosclerosis. In this study, we foun...
