Cardiovascular consequences of metabolic syndrome

Cardiovascular and metabolic consequences of obesity

INTRODUCTION The alarming increase in the incidence and impact of obesity in Australia requires urgent national focus at all levels of government and the community. The reason for the call to action has been due to the realization of the enormity of the health issues of being overweight or obese. There is clearly increased risk of metabolic disease, cardiovascular complications and premature de...

A Review of Neck Circumference As a Potent Anthropometric Predictor of Cardiovascular Disease and Metabolic Syndrome

Introduction: Obesity is considered to be a major risk factor for metabolic syndrome (MetS). The present study aimed to investigate the associations of neck circumference (NC) with cardiovascular diseases and MetS in adults. Methods: This review was conducted via searching in databases such as Medline, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using various keywords, ...

Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiovascular Disease

Insulin resistance is characterized by an impaired physiological response to insulin. The constellation of insulin resistance, and several other metabolic and vascular disorders, is known as the insulin resistance syndrome, or metabolic syndrome. The characteristic features of metabolic syndrome include;central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and glucose intolerance, and abnormalities in bo...

The ADMA-Metformin Hypothesis: Linking the Cardiovascular Consequences of the Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes.

Metformin and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) are structural analogs. They have opposite effects at multiple points on complex signaling pathways that coordinate energy, molecular synthesis, growth, and metabolism with nutrient intake. Excess saturated fats and glucose may initiate the methylation of arginine residues in proteins involved in the transcription of genes mediating inflammation,...
