MicroRNAs in Cardiometabolic Diseases

The Indonesian Biomedical Journal, 2013
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ~22-nucleotide noncoding RNAs with critical functions in multiple physiological and pathological processes. An explosion of reports on the discovery and characterization of different miRNA species and their involvement in almost every aspect of cardiac biology and diseases has established an exciting new dimension in ...

Protein-coding variants implicate novel genes related to lipid homeostasis contributing to body-fat distribution. [PDF]

, 2019
Body-fat distribution is a risk factor for adverse cardiovascular health consequences. We analyzed the association of body-fat distribution, assessed by waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index, with 228,985 predicted coding and splice site ...

Evaluation of waist-to-height ratio to predict 5 year cardiometabolic risk in sub-Saharan African adults [PDF]

, 2014
Simple, low-cost central obesity measures may help identify individuals with increased cardiometabolic disease risk, although it is unclear which measures perform best in African adults.

The Predictive and Prognostic Value of the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index for Congestive Heart Failure

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background: The systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), calculated by (platelet count × neutrophil count)/lymphocyte count, is a novel biomarker with predive and prognostic value in numerous diseases.

Fructose and Risk of Cardiometabolic Disease

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2012
Fructose and glucose in soft drinks and fruit drinks account for just under 50 % of added sugars. Soft drinks intake has risen five-fold between 1950 and 2000, and this increase in intake of simple sugars has raised health concerns. The risks of cardiovascular disease, obesity and the metabolic syndrome have all been related to consumption of sugar ...

Serum beta‐defensin‐2 is a biomarker for psoriasis but not subclinical atherosclerosis: Role of IL17a, PI‐3 kinase and Rac1

JEADV Clinical Practice
Background Beta‐defensins (BDs) are antimicrobial peptides secreted upon epithelial injury. Both chemotactic and antimicrobial properties of BDs function as initial steps in host defence and prime the adaptive immune system in the body.

HDL-associated vitamin D binding protein levels are inversely associated with necrotic plaque burden in psoriasis

Atherosclerosis Plus
Background and aims: Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) serves a dual function as a vitamin D carrier and actin scavenger. Free DBP is present in high concentrations in serum, while a smaller pool is bound to lipoproteins like HDL and VLDL.
