Impaired heart rate variability in patients with non-diabetic chronic kidney disease — Prominent disruption of vagal control and daily fluctuation
Conclusion The circadian autonomic, particularly vagal, fluctuations were impaired in non-diabetic CKD patients independently from aging and comorbidities. Further research is required to assess the association between this impairment and prognosis of CKD patients. (Source: IJC Metabolic and Endocrine)

Liquid fructose supplementation in LDL-R−/− mice fed a western-type diet enhances lipid burden and atherosclerosis despite identical calorie consumption
Conclusions SLF, without changing total calorie intake, increases atherosclerosis, visceral adipose tissue and cholesterol burden in a background of overweight LDL receptor knockout mice consuming an unhealthy, Western-type solid rodent chow. (Source: IJC Metabolic and Endocrine)

Immediate release niacin effect at stratified lipid levels
Conclusion Lowering LDL-C is the corner stone for decreasing cardiovascular events. IRN reduces LDL-C significantly when initial LDL-C>130, but not significantly when LDL-C<130. Patients in AIM-HIGH and HPS-2-THIRVE received statin therapy causing very low initial LDL-C. Our results may explain why adding niacin to statin therapy failed in AIM-HIGH and HPS-2-THRIVE since niacin did not further lower LDL-C. (Source: IJC Metabolic and Endocrine)

Endostatin and osteopontin are elevated in patients with both coronary artery disease and aortic valve calcification
Conclusions This is the first study showing an association of ES with AVC in CAD-patients independent from age, BMI and CAD-severity which seems to be of distinct interest when trying to understand the process of heart valve calcification. OPN also correlates with AVC-severity but is mostly dependent on the age of the patients. (Source: IJC Metabolic and Endocrine)

Effects of febuxostat and allopurinol on the inflammation and cardiac function in chronic heart failure patients with hyperuricemia
Conclusions These data indicate that febuxostat is more effective than allopurinol for reducing the UA level and inflammation and may improve the cardiac function in CHF patients with hyperuricemia due, at least in part, to reductions in inflammation. (Source: IJC Metabolic and Endocrine)

Prevalence of overweight and obesity in turkey
Publication date: Available online 16 July 2015 Source:IJC Metabolic & Endocrine Author(s): Cihangir Erem Obesity is a major public health problem affecting an important proportion of the Turkish population. The prevalence of obesity has significantly increased among adult Turkish population over the past 20years. In 1990, 18.8% of the adult population was obese (28.5% among women and 9% among men), and the prevalence increased to 36% in 2010 (44% among women and 27% among men). From the data, we found that the prevalence of obesity in Turkey has increased steadily from 1990 to 2010 in both genders. Adult obe...
