OBJECTIVE— Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a metabolic regulator with multiple beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in animal models. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between its serum levels various cardiometabolic parameters humans. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS— A newly developed immunoassay was used measure FGF21 232 Chinese subjects recruited from our previous cross-sectional studies. The mRNA expression of liver adipose tissues were...

Mitochondria play a crucial role in tubular injury diabetic kidney disease (DKD). MitoQ is mitochondria-targeted antioxidant that exerts protective effects mice, but the mechanism underlying these not clear. We demonstrated mitochondrial abnormalities, such as defective mitophagy, reactive oxygen species (ROS) overexpression and fragmentation, occurred cells of db/db accompanied by reduced PINK Parkin expression increased apoptosis. These changes were partially reversed following an...

The two major classes of antidiabetic drugs, sulfonylureas and metformin, may differentially affect macrovascular complications mortality in diabetic patients. We compared the long-term effects glipizide metformin on cardiovascular events type 2 patients who had a history coronary artery disease (CAD).This study is multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total 304 with CAD, mean age = 63.3 years (range, 36-80 years), were enrolled. Participants randomly...

Aims The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of hypertension among Chinese adults. Methods Data were obtained from sphygmomanometer measurements and a questionnaire administered 46239 adults ≥20 years age who participated in 2007–2008 China National Diabetes Metabolic Disorders Study. Hypertension was defined as blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg or use antihypertensive medication. Results A total 26.6% had hypertension, significantly greater number men hypertensive than women (29.2% vs...

Adult non-insulin requiring diabetes includes latent autoimmune of adults (LADA), distinguished from type 2 by the presence islet autoantibodies. LADA China determined characteristics Chinese LADA. This nationwide, multicenter, clinic-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 46 university-affiliated hospitals 25 cities. All 4,880 ketosis-free diabetic patients (<1 year postdiagnosis, without insulin therapy for >6 months, aged ≥30 years) had GAD antibody (GADA) and HLA-DQ genotype...

A substantial proportion of patients with adult-onset diabetes share features both type 1 (T1D) and 2 (T2D). These individuals, at diagnosis, clinically resemble T2D by not requiring insulin treatment, yet they have immunogenetic markers associated T1D. Such a slowly evolving form autoimmune diabetes, described as latent adults (LADA), accounts for 2–12% all though show considerable variability according to their demographics mode ascertainment. While therapeutic strategies aim metabolic...

Because of rapid change in lifestyle risk factors, cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause death China. We sought to estimate national levels serum lipids and lipoproteins among Chinese adult population.We conducted a cross-sectional study nationally representative sample 46 239 adults aged ≥20 years. Fasting total, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol triglycerides were measured by standard methods. The age-standardized estimates 4.72 (95% confidence...

Adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) has emerged as an important mediator of inflammation in macrophages. Macrophage-selective ablation A-FABP alone is sufficient to prevent the development high cholesterol diet-induced atherosclerosis apoE-deficient mice. However, precise mechanisms whereby modulates remain elusive. Here, we report that forms a finely tuned positive loop between JNK and activator protein-1 (AP-1) exacerbate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease resulting from the self-destruction of insulin-producing β-cells. Reduced neutrophil counts have been observed in patients with T1D. However, pathological roles neutrophils development T1D remain unknown. Here we show that circulating protein levels and enzymatic activities elastase (NE) proteinase 3 (PR3), both which are serine proteases stored primary granules, were markedly elevated T1D, especially those duration less than year. Furthermore,...
