RESUMEN EJECUTIVO DEL CONSENSO DE EXPERTOS SOBRE LA EFICACIA Y SEGURIDAD DE LOS iDPP-4 EN EL TRATAMIENTO DE PACIENTES CON DIABETES Y COVID-19
2021
Resumen Antecedentes El objetivo de este consenso es esclarecer el papel de los iDPP-4 en el manejo de los pacientes con diabetes durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Material y metodos Se llevo a cabo una busqueda bibliografica en PubMed (diciembre 2019-febrero de 2021). Se empleo la metodologia Oxford y se establecieron de forma consensuada posibles recomendaciones. Resultados La diabetes parece ser un factor independiente en la enfermedad de COVID-19 (evidencia 2b). No se demuestra mayor riesgo de contagio con iDPP-4 (evidencia 2b), y su uso ha demostrado ser seguro (evidencia 2b). Los iDPP-4 pueden presentar un cierto beneficio en la reduccion de la mortalidad, particularmente su uso intra…
Legume consumption is inversely associated with type 2 diabetes incidence in adults: A prospective assessment from the PREDIMED study
2018
Background & aims: Legumes, a low-energy, nutrient-dense and low glycemic index food, have shown beneficial effects on glycemic control and adiposity. As such, legumes are widely recommended in diabetic diets, even though there is little evidence that their consumption protects against type 2 diabetes. Therefore the aim of the present study was to examine the associations between consumption of total legumes and specific subtypes, and type 2 diabetes risk. We also investigated the effect of theoretically substituting legumes for other protein- or carbohydrate-rich foods. Methods: Prospective assessment of 3349 participants in the PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) study without ty…
Elevated circulating levels of succinate in human obesity are linked to specific gut microbiota
2018
Gut microbiota-related metabolites are potential clinical biomarkers for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Circulating succinate, a metabolite produced by both microbiota and the host, is increased in hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. We aimed to analyze systemic levels of succinate in obesity, a major risk factor for CVD, and its relationship with gut microbiome. We explored the association of circulating succinate with specific metagenomic signatures in cross-sectional and prospective cohorts of Caucasian Spanish subjects. Obesity was associated with elevated levels of circulating succinate concomitant with impaired glucose metabolism. This increase was associated wit…
Dietary inflammatory index and all-cause mortality in large cohorts: The SUN and PREDIMED studies
2019
[Background]: Inflammation is known to be related to the leading causes of death including cardiovascular disease, several types of cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, depression-suicide and other chronic diseases. In the context of whole dietary patterns, the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®) was developed to appraise the inflammatory potential of the diet. [Objective]: We prospectively assessed the association between DII scores and all-cause mortality in two large Spanish cohorts and valuated the consistency of findings across these two cohorts and results published based on other cohorts.
