GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
2018
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease prevalence of which is high and continually growing. Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death in patients with T2DM. The prevention of cardiovascular complications and the cardiovascular safety of treatments should be a primary objective when selecting treatment. Among all the drugs available, the compounds known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) appear to be not just innocuous in terms of CVD but indeed to be beneficial. GLP-1 RA actions not only translate on an improvement of well-known cardiovascular risk factors such as glycaemic control, dyslipidaemia, weight, or arterial hypertension but also might …
Chronological Age Interacts with the Circadian Melatonin Receptor 1B Gene Variation, Determining Fasting Glucose Concentrations in Mediterranean Popu…
2020
Gene-age interactions have not been systematically investigated on metabolic phenotypes and this modulation will be key for a better understanding of the temporal regulation in nutrigenomics. Taking into account that aging is typically associated with both impairment of the circadian system and a decrease in melatonin secretion, we focused on the melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B)-rs10830963 C>
Effects of a Mediterranean Eating Plan on the Need for Glucose-Lowering Medications in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes: A Subgroup Analysis of the …
2019
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of two Mediterranean eating plans (Med-EatPlans) versus a low-fat eating plan on the need for glucose-lowering medications. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: From the Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea (PREDIMED) trial, we selected 3,230 participants with type 2 diabetes at baseline. These participants were randomly assigned to one of three eating plans: Med-EatPlan supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), Med-EatPlan supplemented with mixed nuts, or a low-fat eating plan (control). In a subgroup (15%), the allocation was done in small clusters instead of using individual randomization, and the clustering effect was taken into account in the statistical a…
Associations of the FTO rs9939609 and the MC4R rs17782313 polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes are modulated by diet, being higher when adherence to th…
2012
Background: Although the Fat Mass and Obesity (FTO) and Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R) genes have been consistently associated with obesity risk, the association between the obesity-risk alleles with type 2 diabetes is still controversial. In some recent meta-analyses in which significant results have been reported, the associations disappeared after adjustment for body mass index (BMI). However gene-diet interactions with dietary patterns have not been investigated. Our main aim was to analyze whether these associations are modulated by the level of adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet). Methods: Case-control study in 7,052 high cardiovascular risk subjects (3,430 type 2 diabetes c…
Correlation between periodontal disease management and metabolic control of type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic literature review
2016
Background: Diabetes and periodontal disease share common features in terms of inflammatory responses. Current scientific evidence suggests that treatment of periodontal disease might contribute to glycemic control. The objective of the study is a review of the last three years. Material and Methods: A literature search was performed in the MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane, and Scopus databases, for articles published between 01-01-2013 and 30-06-2015, applying the key terms “periodontal disease” AND “diabetes mellitus”. The review analyzed clinical trials of humans published in English and Spanish. Results: Thirteen clinical trials were reviewed, representing a total of 1,912 patients. Three of …
Hábitos de salud podológica en población diabética
2010
: La Diabetes Mellitus (DM) es una enfermedad crónica que puede presentar complicaciones en los pies. Para evitarlo se llevan a cabo programas de control del paciente por parte de las distintas especialidades sanitarias. Un ejemplo es la práctica de adecuados hábitos de salud, los cuales previenen problemas a nivel de miembros inferiores y en el estado general de salud del paciente. La prevalencia de DM se estima que se duplicará en el periodo de tres décadas comprendido entre el año 2000 y 2030, según datos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), pudiendo hablar incluso de "epidemia de Diabetes". Dicho aumento en la morbilidad se debe al incremento de la población mayor de 65 años, c…
Experimental diabetes induces hyperreactivity of rabbit renal artery to 5-hydroxytryptamine
2002
The influence of diabetes on the response of isolated rabbit renal arteries to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was examined. 5-HT induced a concentration-related contraction that was higher in arteries from diabetic rabbits than in arteries from control rabbits. Endothelium removal did not significantly modify 5-HT contractions in arteries from control rabbits but enhanced the response to 5-HT in arteries from diabetic rabbits. Incubation with NG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NA) enhanced contractions to 5-HT in arteries from control and diabetic rabbits. In arteries with endothelium, this L-NA enhancement was lower in diabetic rabbits than in control rabbits. In arteries without endothelium, incubation w…
Diabetes-induced changes in endothelial mechanisms implicated in rabbit carotid arterial response to 5-hydroxytryptamine
2000
The influence of diabetes on endothelial mechanisms implicated in the response of isolated rabbit carotid arteries to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)was studied. 5-HT induced a concentrationdependent contraction that was potentiated in arteries from diabetic rabbits with respect to that in arteries from control rabbits. Endothelium removal potentiated 5-HT contractions in arteries from both control and diabetic rabbits but increased the maximum effect only in arteries from diabetic rabbits. Incubation of arterial segments with Nº-nitro-L-arginine(L-NA)enhanced the contractile response to 5-HT. This L-NA enhancement was greater in arteries from diabetic rabbits than in arteries from control rabbi…
Different role of endothelin ETA and ETB receptors and endothelial modulators in diabetes-induced hyperreactivity of the rabbit carotid artery to end…
2004
The influence of diabetes on regulatory mechanisms and specific receptors implicated in the contractile response of isolated rabbit carotid arteries to endothelin-1 was examined. Endothelin-1 induced a concentration-dependent contraction that was greater in arteries from diabetic rabbits than in arteries from control rabbits. Endothelium removal or NG-nitro-L-arginine enhanced contractions in response to endothelin-1 only in control arteries, without modifying the endothelin-1 response in diabetic arteries. Indomethacin, furegrelate (thromboxane A2 inhibitor), or cyclo-(D-Asp-Pro-D-Val-Leu-D-Trp) (BQ-123; endothelin ETA receptor antagonist) inhibited the contractions in response to endothel…
Diabetes potentiates acetylcholine-induced relaxation in rabbit renal arteries
2001
The response of rabbit renal arteries to acetylcholine and its endothelial modulation in diabetes were investigated. Acetylcholine induced concentration-related endothelium-dependent relaxation of renal arteries that was significantly more potent in diabetic rabbits than in control rabbits. Pretreatment with NG-nitro-L-arginine L-NOArg., indomethacin, or L-NOArg plus indomethacin induced partial inhibition of acetylcholine-induced relaxation. Inhibition induced by L-NOArg plus indomethacin was significantly higher in arteries from diabetic rabbits than in arteries from control rabbits. In renal arteries depolarised with KCl 30 mM and incubated with L-NOArg plus indomethacin, acetylcholine-i…
