Objective. To evaluate the association of ‐174G/C IL-6 polymorphism with failure in therapeutic response to methotrexate (MTX) or leflunomide (LEF). This prospective, observational cohort included 96 Mexican‐Mestizo patients with moderate or severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA), initiating MTX or LEF, genotyped for IL-6 ‐174G/C polymorphism by PCR‐RFLP ...

Genetic susceptibility has been described in insulin resistance (IR). Chemokine (C‐C motif) ligand‐2 (CCL2) is overexpressed in white adipose tissue and is the ligand of C‐C motif receptor‐2 (CCR2). The CCL2 G‐2518A polymorphism is known to regulate gene expression, whereas the physiological effects of the CCR2Val64Ile polymorphism are unknown. The aim

Background. Obesity study in the context of scavenger receptors has been linked to atherosclerosis. CD36 and LOX‐1 are important, since they have been associated with atherogenic and metabolic disease but not fat redistribution. The aim of our study was to determinate the association between CD36 and LOX‐1 in presence of age and abdominal obesity ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between functional polymorphisms Gly482Ser in PPARGC1A and Pro12Ala in PPARG2 with the presence of obesity and metabolic risk factors. We included 375 individuals characterized as Mexican‐Mestizos and classified by the body mass index (BMI).

The main cause of death in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is cardiovascular events. We evaluated the relationship of anticyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) antibody levels with increased carotid intima‐media thickness (cIMT) in RA patients. Methods. Forty‐five anti‐CCP positive and 37 anti‐CCP negative RA patients, and 62 healthy controls (HC) were ...

The polymorphisms in leptin (LEP G‐2548A) and leptin‐receptor (LEPR Gln223Arg) seem to influence obesity and lipid metabolism among others. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of these polymorphisms on adiposity, leptin (sLeptin), and leptin‐receptor (sLeptin‐receptor) serum concentrations as well as inflammation markers.

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a higher risk for atherosclerosis. There is no clinical information about scavenger receptor CD36 and the development of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with RA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between membrane expression of CD36 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and ...
