The objective of this study was to determine the frequencies of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphisms G894T (rs1799983) and T-786C (rs2070744) to assess the role of these polymorphisms as a potential risk factor in the development of DVT. Methods: In this case-control study, we included 32 patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and 31 healthy control subjects. Clinical characteristics were collected. Lipids plasma concentrations were determined by the colorimetric method. Genotyping for the polymorphisms was performed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Results: We had found that the eNos G894T genotype G/T was significantly increasing the risk of DTV (P = 0.042, OR = 3.9;95% CI = 1.09 to 13.92). But no association of the eNOS T-786C variant and DVT was found. For the eNOs T-786C polymorphism, the frequency of the T/T genotype was 87.5% in patients (with an allelic frequency of T Allele equal to 91%). No significant difference was noted between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The eNOs G894T polymorphism seems to be in association with DVT and may be considered as a risk factor, but this is not the case for the T-786C polymorphism.展开更多

Material and Methods: This is an open cross-sectional study that includes 81 individuals divided into two groups: a group of 42 obese patients recruited from the endocrinology department and a control group of 39 non-obese healthy subjects. All participants received a food survey, anthropometric measurements and blood sampling. Pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α), and hs-CRP were measured in patients and controls. Results: Dietary data revealed significant increases in food intake in obese patients compared to controls. The results of the laboratory parameters showed a statistically significant increase in IL-8, TNF-α and blood glucose in obese compared to controls. The analysis of correlations among the parameters studied showed that the plasma level of IL-6 was positively correlated with dietary fat intake (r = 0.70;p -3) and carbohydrate (r = 0.54;p = 0.03) and the dietary intake expressed in calories (r = 0.64;p -3). Conclusion: dietary imbalances in obese were observed and characterized by an excessive intake of calories, fat and carbohydrates. The excessive carbohydrate and fat intake is associated with increased IL-6 and TNF-α plasma levels.展开更多
