Glycaemic variability (measured by 48h contiinous glucose monitoring) in subjects with metabolic syndrome, with ot without diabetes, is indipendently associated wiith IL-6 blood concentrations

A CASE OF CARDIAC COMPRESSION BY HEPATIC CYST IN A WOMAN WITH POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE.

Liver cysts are common extrarenal manifestations of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). They occur more frequently in women, and are also more in number and larger in size, than in men. Liver cysts tend to develop slower than the kidney cysts; their number and size increases with the age (worsening kidney function), number of pregnancies, and estrogen assumption. Although most patients with ADPKD report no liver symptoms, sometimes, chronic manifestations related to progressive increase of the polycystic liver are experienced. The quality of life can be severely impaired with huge hepatomegaly causing abdominal distension, pain, dyspepsia, dyspnoea, fatigue, physical and e…

Glycaemic variability (measured by 48h continous glucose monitoring) in subjects with metabolic syndrome, with ot withoout diabetes,is indipendently associated with IL-6 bood concentrations

Postprandial hyperglycaemia induces endothelial dysfunction thus contributing to the appearance of atherosclerotic lesions and to the high cardiovascular risk of diabetic subjects. Subjects who develop diabetes have an increased cardiovascular risk even before the appearance of diabetes. Insulin resistant subjects with metabolic syndrome (MS) are at both high cardiovascular and diabetes risk and it cannot be excluded that higher postprandial glycaemic excursions might induce endothelial dysfunction in this condition. Furthermore, adipose tissue is known to release factors (adipokines) that are able to influence both insulin sensitivity and endothelial function. The glycaemic variability is …

Glycaemic variability and inflammation in subjects with metabolic syndrome.

Subjects who develop diabetes have an increased cardiovascular risk even before the appearance of diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the glycaemic variability measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM CV%) in nondiabetic subjects with metabolic syndrome (MS) and to explore if glycaemic variability was associated with circulating levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a proinflammatory cytokine, or with an anti-inflammatory factor like adiponectin. Three groups of obese subjects with (MS+: 6m, 8f; BMI 33.1 ± 1.4 mean ± SEM) or without metabolic syndrome (MS−: 2m, 4f; BMI 29.2 ± 2.2) and with MS associated with type 2 diabetes (MS/T2D: 3m, 5f; BMI 32.9 ± 1.4) were investigated. …
