Zinc Finger 259 Gene Polymorphism rs964184 is Associated with
Serum Triglyceride Levels and Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors that include: abdominal
obesity, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance. Recent genome wide
association studies have identified several susceptibility regions involved in lipid metabolism that are also
associated with MetS. We have explored the association of 9 genetic polymorphisms involved in lipid
metabolism and hypertension, including: MTHFR C677T, ...

The Relationship between Diet Quality and Acculturation of Immigrated South Asian American Adults and Their Association with Metabolic Syndrome
Abstract
Even though the total SA American population is increasing rapidly, there is a paucity of
information on the relationship between diet quality, acculturation and health outcomes
such as Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in the low-income South Asian (SA) sub-population.
Our goal was to examine diet quality, degree of acculturation and their potential influence
on MetS in a diverse sample of SA Americans. A convenience sample of 401 adult SA ...

The early life nutritional environment and early life stress as potential pathways towards the metabolic syndrome in
mid-life? A lifecourse analysis using the 1958 British Birth cohort
Background: Lifecourse studies suggest that the metabolic syndrome (MetS) may be rooted in the early life
environment. This study aims to examine the pathways linking early nutritional and psychosocial exposures and the
presence of MetS in midlife.

Serum vitamin A status is associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome among school-age children in
Chongqing, China
The aim of our study was to examine the association of vitamin A status with obesity and the metabolic syndrome
(MS) in school-age children in Chongqing, China. A cross-sectional study was conducted of 1,928 children aged
7~11 years from 5 schools in Chongqing, China. Body height, weight, waist circumference (WC) and blood pressure
were measured. Blood glucose, lipids and vitamin A were determined. Overall prevalences for overweight,
obesity and MS were 10.1%, 6.7% ...

Serum Phospholipid Docosahexaenoic Acid Is Inversely Associated with Arterial Stiffness in Metabolically
Healthy Men
We hypothesized that lower proportion of serum phospholipid docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA) is inversely associated with increased cardiovascular risk and vascular function in
metabolically healthy men. To elucidate it, we first compared serum phospholipid free
fatty acid (FA) compositions and cardiovascular risk parameters between healthy men (n
= 499) and male patients with coronary artery disease (CAD, n = 111) (30-69 years) without
metabolic syndrome, and then further...

Reduced circulating adiponectin levels are associated with the metabolic syndrome independently of obesity, lipid indices and serum insulin levels: a cross-sectional study
Background: Given the increasing rate of overweight and the burden of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on
cardiovascular disease development, better understanding of the syndrome is of great importance. Therefore, the
objectives were to examine whether interleukin-6 (IL-6)

Red pitaya juice supplementation ameliorates energy balance homeostasis by modulating obesity-related genes in highcarbohydrate, high-fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome rats
Background: Red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) or known as buah naga merah in Malay belongs to the cactus
family, Cactaceae. Red pitaya has been shown to give protection against liver damage and may reduce the stiffness
of the heart. Besides, the beneficial effects of red pitaya against obesity have been reported; however, the
mechanism of this protection is not clear. Therefore, in the present study, we have ...

Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome
Abstract: It is well known that plasma lipids, waist circumference (WC) and blood pressure (BP)
increase following menopause. In addition, there is a perceived notion that plasma high-density
lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations also decrease in postmenopausal women. In this
cross-sectional study, we evaluated plasma lipids, fasting glucose, anthropometrics and BP in 88 post
and 100 pre-menopausal women diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. No differences were ...
