Abstract Background Autoimmune diseases (ADs) present significant health challenges globally, especially among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) due to their unique developmental stages. Comprehensive analyses of burden are limited. This study leverages the Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2021 data assess global, regional, national trends major ADs AYAs from 1990 2021. Methods Utilizing Study for individuals aged 15–39 years, we employed a direct method age standardization calculate estimates...

Thyroxine metabolism is an important topic of pathogenesis research and treatment schedule subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). L-thyroxine replacement therapy (LRT) usually recommended for severe SCH patients only. Our previous studies reported that disordered serum lipid mild people could also benefit from LRT. However, the benefits were different among individuals, as shown by variations drug dosage required to maintain TSH stability. Alternative pathways, such sulfation glucuronidation...

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of body fat distribution and relationship between index Atherogenic Index Plasma (AIP) in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods: A total 316 participants were divided into a T2DM group non-diabetes (controls). According to Visceral Fat Area (VFA), all further VFA ≥100 cm2 <100 groups. compare differences blood lipid, glucose, AIP groups, single factor correlation analysis was used determine indexes AIP, multiple linear regression...

Subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with cardiovascular diseases, yet the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Herein, in a common population (n = 1,103), TSH level was found to be independently correlated both carotid plaque prevalence and intima-media thickness. Consistently, receptor ablation ApoE-/- mice attenuated atherogenesis, accompanied by decreased vascular inflammation macrophage burden atherosclerotic plaques. These results were also observed myeloid-specific...

Although the association between hypothyroidism and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is found in observational studies, it remains uncertain whether causally influences IPF.Two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) was conducted with genome-wide study (GWAS) data UK Biobank from 289,307 individuals (18,740 cases 270,567 controls) largest GWAS summary statistics of IPF 11,259 (2,668 8,591 controls). Findings were verified using an independent validation dataset, as well through different MR...

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is an important public health problem worldwide for its increasing prevalence and potential deleterious effects, whereas etiology has not been fully elucidated. Lipotoxicity exerts extensive serious impact on human health, but so far, the effect of lipotoxicity thyroid unclear.The objective study was to assess association between serum triglyceride levels risk SCH.We conducted a population-based case-control study. A total 24 100 subjects with similar stable...

Dyslipidemia is an important global health problem, particularly in the elderly population. Traditionally, high prevalence of dyslipidemia people considered a "natural condition." Notably, subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) one most risk factors for dyslipidemia. Few studies have assessed whether SCH plays role increase age-related This study aimed to explore association between and lipid profiles different age groups.This was large-scale, population-based, case-control study. The population...

Cholesterol synthesis is regulated by the transcription factor sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP-2) and its target gene 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), which rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate-responsive (CRE) protein-regulated coactivator (CRTC) master regulator of glucose metabolism. However, effect CRTC2 on potential molecular mechanism remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that expression liver content...

Observational studies have investigated the associations between antihypertensive drugs and fracture risk as well bone mineral density (BMD), but yielding controversial results.In this study, a comprehensive drug-target Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to systematically examine genetic proxies for eight common three health-related traits (fracture, total body BMD [TB-BMD], estimated heel [eBMD]). The main used inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method estimate causal effect....

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) has a high global prevalence. Most SCH patients have mild cases (thyrotropin ≤10 mIU/L). Treatment recommendations for are controversial, which raises concerns about the natural history of SCH. We aimed to clarify This is prospective population-based study. measured thyroid function in 11,000 participants REACTION study and followed 505 newly diagnosed aged 40-years or older between 2011 2014.

Endothelial cells (ECs) constitute the defensive barrier of vasculature, which maintains vascular homeostasis. Mitochondrial oxidative stress (mitoOS) in ECs significantly affects initiation and progression diseases. The higher serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is being recognized as a nonconventional risk factor responsible for increased cardiovascular diseases subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). However, effects underlying mechanisms elevated TSH on are still ambiguous. We sought...
