OBJECTIVE To investigate the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index association with coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression in adult Koreans. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Various cardiovascular risk factors and anthropometric profiles were assessed 1,175 subjects who previously had a CAC evaluation at least twice by multidetector computed tomography health care center. The TyG was determined using ln(fasting triglycerides [mg/dL] × fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2). defined as either incident...

Background: Recently, the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been considered a surrogate marker of insulin resistance which is well-known pathogenic factor in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).However, few studies have investigated relationship between TyG and NAFLD.Thus, we NAFLD effectiveness compared with homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) identifying Korean adults.Methods: Participants 4,986 who underwent ultrasonography health promotion center were enrolled.The was...

Abstract Aims/Introduction Natural killer ( NK ) cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes critical to human immunity. Previous studies showed correlations between cell function and blood glucose concentrations. The purpose of the present study was assess activity various metabolic parameters in people with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes normal tolerance. Materials Methods A total 49 participants were enrolled study. Anthropometric biochemical including age, sex, body mass index, smoking status,...

Dyslipidemia is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently, atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has been proposed as novel predictive marker CVD, and few cross sectional studies have demonstrated relationship between AIP coronary artery disease. The present study investigated the association progression calcification (CAC) in Korean adults without CVD. A total 1124 participants who had undergone CAC measurement at least twice by multi-detector computed tomography (CT)...

The plasma atherogenic index (AIP) has been suggested as a useful independent predictor of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in high CV risk patients. We investigated the association between AIP and arterial stiffness measured by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) healthy adults. A total 3468 subjects without any metabolic or were enrolled. Anthropometric factors measured. was defined base 10 logarithm ratio concentration triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Subjects...

Abstract Type 2 diabetes is the fastest growing metabolic disease in world. Recently, muscle considered an endocrine organ which secretes various peptides that play important role insulin resistance and syndrome. We assessed 4 different myokines, irisin, interleukin-13 (IL-13), follistatin-related protein-1 (FSTL-1), fractalkine, normal, prediabetes, patients. A total of 126 participants who visited Gangnam Severance Hospital were enrolled divided into groups based on oral glucose tolerance...

Hemorheologic alterations have been suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetic microvascular complications. We measured various hemorheologic parameters and assessed their possible as diagnostic tool for nephropathy (DN).248 subjects with type 2 diabetes 222 prediabetes were included this study. parameters, including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), elongation index at 3 Pa (EI) using microfluidic hemorheometer. Various metabolic from fasting blood samples. The stratified...

Background . Many Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients in Korea take Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) for various reasons. In this study, we investigated the effects of KRG administration on diabetic peripheral neuropathy T2DM patients. Methods This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Participants were randomly allocated to either placebo or group and took corresponding tablets 24 weeks. The primary outcomes changes current perception threshold (CPT) at week 24. Secondary...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent condition in the general population. Although recent studies have demonstrated link between NAFLD and lipoprotein(a), low-density lipoprotein-like particle synthesized liver, its precise physiological role mechanism of action remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate relationship lipoprotein(a) levels development hepatic fibrosis Korean adults. A total 1501 subjects who underwent abdominal ultrasonography at least twice as...

Introduction: NK cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes critical to innate immunity. The purpose of this study is find out the difference in cell activity between type 2 diabetes patients and controls, investigate association glucose control. Methods: 49 subjects were enrolled study, with 23 26 normal tolerant controls. Anthropometric biochemical parameters assessed. Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) was calculated for insulin resistance. measured using a newly developed Vueⓡ Kit (ATgen, Seoul),...
