The article focuses on the implications of the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in nutritional genomics research evaluation. It emphasizes that the study of gene-gene, gene-gender, and diet-gene interactions implicit in MetS will lead to the determination of the principal complications in ...
Recently, some studies have suggested that the disruption of the circadian system may be causal for the manifestations of metabolic syndrome (MetS). This review summarizes the latest evidence of the existing interaction among chronobiology, genetics and MetS.Shift work, sleep deprivation and bright ...
The metabolic syndrome (MS) constitutes a combination of underlying risk factors for an adverse outcome, cardiovascular disease. Thus, the clinical behavior of the MS can be regarded as a whole. Nevertheless, from a pathogenic point of view, understanding of the underlying mechanisms of each MS ...
The clustering of cardiovascular risk factors such as abdominal obesity, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and glucose intolerance in the same persons has been called the metabolic or insulin-resistance syndrome. In 1998 WHO proposed a unifying definition for
• Genetics - ethnicity and family history People who have metabolic syndrome often also have excessive blood clotting and inflammation throughout the body. Researchers don't know whether these conditions cause metabolic syndrome or worsen it. ...
We evaluated the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and insulin secretion with the metabolic syndrome (MS) in 885 subjects (377 men/508 women, age 49 ± 11 years, BMI 29 ± 5.2 kg m −2) at risk of diabetes enrolled in the genetics, pathophysiology and evolution of type 2 di...
Genetics is partially responsible for causing this disease. More likely though is lifestyle. In many cases years of high starch, processed foods, simple sugars, lack of exercise, smoking, and increased stress may be the culprit for Metabolic Syndrome X. ...
a driver of metabolic syndrome and the many physiological challenges that come with it, but other elements, including genetics, stress, and physical inactivity, also have significant influence over metabolic health in the short and long term and are major influences upon risk of metabolic syndrome....
In recent years, it has become apparent that even some conditions associated with multiple congenital anomalies (e.g., Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome) have an underlying metabolic cause.
Despite the fact that the prevalence of obesity in early childhood has been stable and is no longer increasing in many developed and industrialized countries, the incidence of both obesity and full-blown metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents is still very high. Obesity is a major disease...
