The Influence of Obesity and Metabolic Health on Vascular Health

Endocrinology and Metabolism, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 37(1), P. 1 - 8

Published: Feb. 28, 2022

The prevalence of obesity is rapidly increasing worldwide. Obesity should not be understood only as the accumulation fat in body, but instead a phenomenon that exerts different effects on our health according to place deposition and its stability. starting point most metabolic diseases, such diabetes, hypertension, syndrome, sleep apnea, eventually cardiovascular disease. There are kinds obesity, ranging from simple sarcopenic obesity. main purpose intervening address decrease ultimate consequence obesity—namely, mechanism through which especially abdominal increases risk obesity-induced derangement health, leading development diseases non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, initiators vascular damage. In this review, I discuss influence various types how these increase disease risk.

JACC Asia, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 3(3), P. 491 - 502

Published: June 1, 2023

The number of people with metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing worldwide, and many socioeconomic environmental factors contribute to this. authors investigated tangible trends in the prevalence MetS using 2001 2020 versions Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). In these surveys, stratified multistage sampling designs were used approximate entire population. Blood pressure, waist circumference, lifestyle variables examined a standardized fashion. Metabolic biomarkers measured central laboratory operated by Korean government. age-adjusted increased significantly from 27.1% 33.2% 2020. It was more prevalent men (25.8%→40.0%) but did not change women (28.2%→26.2%). Among 5 components, proportions high glucose level large circumference substantially 17.9% 12.2% over 20 years, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels significantly, resulting decrease low 20.4%. Caloric intake derived carbohydrates decreased 68.1% 61.3%, fat consumption 16.7% 23.0%.

Only few studies have investigated the role of probiotics in development obesity. We aimed to determine efficacy and safety an intake Lactobacillus plantarum K50 (LPK) on body fat lipid profiles people with This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial involved 81 adults a mass index 25-30 kg/m2 who were assigned randomly diet including 4 × 109 colony-forming unit LPK or placebo. Changes fat, anthropometric parameters, biomarkers obesity compared using linear mixed-effect model. After 12 weeks treatment, weight, mass, abdominal area did not change significantly two groups. However, total cholesterol levels decreased from 209.4 ± 34.4 mg/dL 203.5 30.9 group, but increased 194.7 37.5 199.9 30.7 placebo group (P = 0.037).

Hormonal Gut–Brain Signaling for the Treatment of Obesity

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 24(4), P. 3384 - 3384

Published: Feb. 8, 2023

The brain, particularly the hypothalamus and brainstem, monitors integrates circulating metabolic signals, including gut hormones. Gut–brain communication is also mediated by vagus nerve, which transmits various gut-derived signals. Recent advances in our understanding of molecular gut–brain promote development next-generation anti-obesity medications that can safely achieve substantial lasting weight loss comparable to surgery. Herein, we comprehensively review current knowledge about central regulation energy homeostasis, hormones involved food intake, clinical data on how these have been applied drugs. Insight into axis may provide new therapeutic perspectives for treatment obesity diabetes.
