چکیده
Sugérese que la hiperuricema sea un factor de riesgo cardiovascular en humanos adultos con síndrome metabólico (SM) El polimorfismo C677T en el gen metilenotetrahidrofolato reductasa (MTHFR) ha sido asociado com la hiperuricemia. Datos sobre los factores asociados con la uricemia en humanos adultos con SM genotipados para el polimorfismo C677T en el gen MTHFR son inexistentes. Se objetivó investigar los factores asociados con la uricemia en individuos con SM genotipados para el polimorfismo C677T. Se ha realizado un estudio transversal con 63 humanos adultos (24 hombres y 39 mujeres). Fueron evaluados peso, altura, índice de masa corporal, circunferencia de la cintura, grasa corporal total, glucemia, uricemia, insulinemia, homocisteinemia, folato plasmático, folato en los eritrocitos, presión arterial, tabaquismo, uso de diuréticos, ingesta habitual de proteínas dietéticas y de alcohol y la presencia del polimorfismo C677T. No fue encontrado asociación significativa entre el polimorfismo C677T y la uricemia. Fue verificado que un 25,4% (n = 16) do los individuos presentaban hiperuricemia (10 hombres y 6 mujeres). Se verificó que un 33% (n = 21) de los individuos presentaron el polimorfismo C677T (19 heterocigotos y 2 homocigotos polimórficos). La uricemia se asoció con los niveles de homocisteina (r = 0,43, p < 0,05), trigicéridos (r = 0,41, p < 0,05) y de lipoproteínas de muy baja densidad (r = 0.27, p < 0,05) y con la ingesta de alcohol (r = 0,37, p < 0,05). Sin embargo, sólo la homocisteinemia, la trigliceridemia y la ingesta habitual de alcohol permanecerán en el modelo final de regresión lineal. En los humanos adultos con SM genotipados para el polimorfismo C677T en el gen MTHFR, la uricemia se asoció positivamente con los niveles de homocisteína y triglicéridos y con la ingesta habitual de alcohol.

Association of uricemia with biochemical and dietary factors in human adults with metabolic syndrome genotyped to C677T polymorphism in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene.
It is suggested that hyperuricemia is a marker of cardiovascular risk in human adults with metabolic syndrome (MS). The C677T polymorphism in the gene encoding the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is associated with hyperuricemia. Data on factors associated with uricemia in human adults with MS genotyped for this polymorphism are lacking. We aimed to investigate the factors as...
