    Study Notes

    Metabolic Syndrome

    • Also known as Insulin Resistance Syndrome or Syndrome X
    • Characterized by a cluster of interconnected factors that increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease

    Diagnosis and Classification

    • Defined by the presence of three or more of the following: elevated waist circumference, elevated triglycerides, reduced HDL-C, elevated blood pressure, and elevated fasting glucose
    • Diagnosis in children and adolescents: emphasize family history, BMI, and results of glucose and lipid profiles

    Characteristics

    • Key characteristic: insulin resistance, which leads to gluconeogenesis, glucose intolerance, and hyperinsulinemia
    • Often associated with normal-weight obesity, which is characterized by high levels of body fat despite a normal body mass index (BMI)

    Consequences

    • Increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer
    • Can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, which impairs glucose metabolism and promotes inflammation

    Risk Factors

    • Insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension
    • Sedentary behavior, which negatively affects mitochondrial function
    • Adiposity, which is inversely associated with muscle function among non-obese individuals

    Inflammation and Thrombosis

    • Two inflammatory cytokines, IL-6 and TNF-α, are positively associated with triglycerides and total cholesterol, and inversely associated with HDL-C
    • Two markers of thrombosis, PAI-1 and tPA, are linked to insulin resistance and abdominal obesity

    Exercise and Management

    • Cardiorespiratory exercise: recommended duration per week is 150 minutes at moderate intensity or 75 minutes at vigorous intensity
    • Resistance exercise: recommended frequency is 2-3 non-consecutive days per week, with an intensity range of 2-3 sets of 8-12 repetitions
    • Main focus of resistance exercise is to improve muscle function and insulin sensitivity

    Description

    Test your knowledge on the role of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1) in proinflammatory and prothrombotic characteristics. Explore how MCP-1 interacts with adipose tissue macrophages and inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-a, and their associations with triglycerides, cholesterol, HDLc, insulin signaling, and cellular oxidative stress.
