Methods The study included 20 healthy subjects (control group), 53 CHD patients without (Group A) and 24 with essential hypertension (Group B) . Oral glucose tolerance test was administered to all subjects. Venous blood samples were taken during fasting and at 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after the glucose load (100g). All samples were assayed for glucose, insulin and C - peptide. Results The glucose, insulin, and C - peptide curves were at a hierarchy of Group B > Group A > the control group. Insulin - sensitivity - index was at an inverse hierarchy (-4. 31±0.55, -4. 05±0.47, - 3. 82±0. 42, respectively) . The ratio of the area under the C - peptide to the insulin was at a hierarchy of control group (3. 84±0. 81)> Group A (2. 84±0. 93)> Group B (2.26±0. 67), P < 0. 01) . As to insulin and C - peptide releasing types, most subjects of the control group had common type, while the predominant response type was pure - high in Group A, delayed - and delayed - high in Group B. Conclusions There are insulin resistance, insulin - C - peptide separation and changes of insulin and C - peptide releasing types in CHD patients. Insulin resistance is more severe when with hypertension. The hyperinsulinemia in CHD might be due to the over - secretion of insulin, also due to slow clearance in the patients accompanied by hypertension.展开更多

Methods The levels of plasma adiponectin, fasting plasma insulin (FINS), C-reactive protein (CRP) and P-selectin were measured by ELISA, plasma ET-1 was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in 75 male patients with CHD and 30 healthy male people. Body mass index (BMI), waist / hip ratio (WHR) and insulin resistance index (Homa-IR) were calculated respectively. Results (1)The plasma adiponectin levels in CHD group were lower compared with control group[(5.18±2.57)mg / L vs(8.94±2.59)mg / L, P〈 0.001 ], there was no significant difference of plasma adiponectin levels in CHD sub-groups (P 〉 0.05).(2) Based on multinominal stepwise logistic regression analysis, adiponectin was one of significant and independent risk factors for CHD. (3) Multivariate liner stepwise regression analysis showed that adiponectin had significant correlation with BMI and TG, BMI and TG were independent factors influencing on plasma adiponectin levels. (4) Pearson correlation analysis indicated plasma adiponectin levels were inversely related to FINS levels , Homa-IR, CRP, P-selectin and ET-1. Conclusions ( 1 )Plasma adiponectin levels are lower in CHD patients compared the control subjects, there are no significant difference of plasma adiponectin levels in patients with SAP, UAP and AMI. (2) Plasma adiponectin levels are relative with CHD. Hypoadiponectinemia is an independent risk factor for CHD. (3)Established cardiovascular risk factors such as BMI and TG have an obvious influence on adiponectin. (4)The probable pathogenesis by which adiponectin involves in CHD is suggested that adiponectin relates to insulin resistance, inflammatory reaction and dysfunction of vessel endothelium.展开更多

Genotyping of SNP --4522C/T in 304 patients with CHD, 389 patients with T2DM, and 405 age and sex-matched healthy control subjects was carried out by means of PCR-RFLP approach. No significant difference in the genotype or allele frequencies was found, either between patients with CHD and control subjects, or between patients with T2DM and control subjects. However, in the subgroup analysis, an association of the TAr genotype and T allele with type 2 diabetes combined with obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) was found (P = 0.014 and P = 0.034, respectively). Also the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in T2DM patients with T/T genotype was significantly higher than that in T2DM patients carrying C allele (P = 0.0069). The authors' findings for the first time demonstrated that SNP --4522 in the adiponectin gene was associated with T2DM that combined with obesity and higher insulin resistance index in patients with T2DM. This indicated that the variation might associate with an increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetic obesity and insulin resistance. But -4522C/T polymorphism did not contribute to the susceptibility of CHD.展开更多

This paper describes evidence-based clinical causes and indications. Objective: The objective is to review the clinical effect of hypothyroidism in different selected aspects and summarize the potential evidence about relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism with cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance and mortality. Data Sources: A systematic review was conducted by searching English-language articles identified from 23 databases and search engines, yielding over 1000 documents. Study Selection: They are reports on the effects of hypothyroidism versus euthyroidism on obesity, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease and mortality. Data Extraction: Data from research articles on hypothyroidism including subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and overt hypothyroidism, insulin resistance including diabetes mellitus and risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) including metabolic syndrome were independently assessed and summarized. Data Synthesis: Twelve of twenty-nine identified studies involved population-based cohorts, case controls and retrospective studies that included 4306 subjects. All 13 studies examined risks associated with subclinical hypothyroidism with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prevalence rates of SCH in T2DM patients ranged from 4.69% to 64.28% in the 12 included studies. Moreover, 4 studies out of the above 12 studies have revealed insulin resistance in the participants. Another population-based 12 studies have been carried out to assess hypothyroidism-related cardiac manifestation and according to the given data, average prevalence of CHD in hypothyroid participants is 25.20 (vary from 3.73 to 47.14) and it is 13.90 in euthyroid participants (vary from 1.17 to 38.49). Conclusions: Type 2 diabetes mellitus people are more likely to get subclinical hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroid population also shows several complications associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Besides, subclinical thyroid dysfunction might represent a risk factor for coronary artery disease and mortality.展开更多
