RESUMEN
Silicon included in a restructured meat (RM) matrix (Si-RM) as a functional ingredient has been demonstrated to be a potential bioactive antidiabetic compound. However, the jejunal and hepatic molecular mechanisms by which Si-RM exerts its cholesterol-lowering effects remain unclear. Male Wistar rats fed an RM included in a high-saturated-fat high-cholesterol diet (HSFHCD) combined with a low dose of streptozotocin plus nicotinamide injection were used as late-stage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) model. Si-RM was included into the HSFHCD as a functional food. An early-stage TD2M group fed a high-saturated-fat diet (HSFD) was taken as reference. Si-RM inhibited the hepatic and intestinal microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) reducing the apoB-containing lipoprotein assembly and cholesterol absorption. Upregulation of liver X receptor (LXRα/ß) by Si-RM turned in a higher low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) and ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABCG5/8, ABCA1) promoting jejunal cholesterol efflux and transintestinal cholesterol excretion (TICE), and facilitating partially reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). Si-RM decreased the jejunal absorptive area and improved mucosal barrier integrity. Consequently, plasma triglycerides and cholesterol levels decreased, as well as the formation of atherogenic lipoprotein particles. Si-RM mitigated the dyslipidemia associated with late-stage T2DM by Improving cholesterol homeostasis. Silicon could be used as an effective nutritional approach in diabetic dyslipidemia management.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common chronic metabolic disease. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) play crucial roles in regulating glucolipid metabolism. Previous studies showed that E17241 could ameliorate atherosclerosis and lower fasting blood glucose levels in ApoE-/- mice. In this work, we investigated the role of E17241 in glycolipid metabolism in diabetic KKAy mice. APPROACH AND RESULTS: We confirmed that E17241 is a powerful pan-PPAR agonist with a potent agonistic activity on PPARγ, a high activity on PPARα, and a moderate activity on PPARδ. E17241 also significantly increased the protein expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1), a crucial downstream target gene for PPARs. E17241 clearly lowered plasma glucose levels, improved OGTT and ITT, decreased islet cholesterol content, improved ß-cell function, and promoted insulin secretion in KKAy mice. Moreover, E17241 could significantly lower plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, reduce liver lipid deposition, and improve the adipocyte hypertrophy and the inflammatory response in epididymal white adipose tissue. Further mechanistic studies indicated that E17241 boosts cholesterol efflux and insulin secretion in an ABCA1 dependent manner. RNA-seq and qRT-PCR analysis demonstrated that E17241 induced different expression of PPAR target genes in liver and adipose tissue differently from the PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone. In addition, E17241 treatment was also demonstrated to have an exhilarating cardiorenal benefits. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that E17241 regulates glucolipid metabolism in KKAy diabetic mice while having cardiorenal benefits without inducing weight gain. It is a promising drug candidate for the treatment of T2DM.

BACKGROUND: Dyslipidemia is an important comorbid factor of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to assess the pattern of dyslipidemia and atherogenic indices and determine its relation with glycemic control. METHODS: A cross-sectional study enrolled 382 patients with diabetic dyslipidemia. The socio-demographics data, clinical features, and laboratory parameters were collected. The baseline lipid parameters such as total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) were measured. Atherogenic indices such as TC/HDL-C ratio, TG/HDL-C ratio, LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, non-HDL-C/HDL-C and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) [log10 (TG/HDL-C)] were calculated. T2DM patients were classified into three groups based on the degree of glycemic control: Good glycemic control (HbA1C<7%), fair control (HbA1C 7-8%), and poor control (HbA1C>8%). RESULTS: The population's mean age was 48.60±6.15 years, with 145 (38%) males. We found mixed dyslipidemia as the most prevalent (36.1%) form of dyslipidemia in our patients. The most common pattern in atherogenic indices was AIP (94.2%). HbA1c was positively correlated with duration of diabetes (r=0.253, p<0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, duration of diabetes (>10 years) was significantly associated with poor glycemic control with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.31(95% CI; 1.25-4.24, p=0.007). CONCLUSION: The present study indicated that neither the pattern of dyslipidemia nor the atherogenic indices were markers of poor glycemic control among South Indian patients attending our tertiary care institute. However, duration of diabetes was significantly associated with poor glycemic control.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Circulating MicroRNAs (miRNAs) carried by microvesicles (MVs) have various physiological and pathological functions by post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression being considered markers for many diseases including diabetes and dyslipidemia. We aimed to identify new common miRNAs both in MVs and plasma that could be predictive biomarkers for diabetic dyslipidemia evolution. METHODS: For this purpose, plasma from 63 participants in the study (17 type 2 diabetic patients, 17 patients with type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia, 14 patients with dyslipidemia alone and 15 clinically healthy persons without diabetes or dyslipidemia) was used for the analysis of circulating cytokines, MVs, miRNAs and MV-associated miRNAs. RESULTS: The results uncovered three miRNAs, miR-218, miR-132 and miR-143, whose expression was found to be significantly up-regulated in both circulating MVs and plasma from diabetic patients with dyslipidemia. These miRNAs showed significant correlations with important plasma markers, representative of this pathology. Thus, MV/plasma miR-218 was negatively correlated with the levels of erythrocyte MVs, plasma miR-132 was positively connected with MV miR-132 and negatively with uric acid and erythrocyte plasma levels, and plasma miR-143 was negatively related with creatinine levels and diastolic blood pressure. Also, three miRNAs common to MV and plasma, namely miR-21, miR-122, and miR-155, were identified to be down-regulated and up-regulated, respectively, in diabetic dyslipidemia. In addition, MV miR-21 was positively linked with cholesterol plasma levels and plasma miR-21 with TNFα plasma levels, MV miR-122 was negatively correlated with LDL-c levels and plasma miR-122 with creatinine and diastolic blood pressure and positively with MV miR-126 levels, MV miR-155 was positively associated with cholesterol and total MV levels and negatively with HDL-c levels, whereas plasma miR-155 was positively correlated with Il-1ß plasma levels and total MV levels and negatively with MV miR-223 levels. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, miR-218, miR-132, miR-143, and miR-21, miR-122, miR-155 show potential as biomarkers for diabetic dyslipidemia, but there is a need for more in-depth studies. These findings bring new information regarding the molecular biomarkers specific to diabetic dyslipidemia and could have important implications for the treatment of patients affected by this pathology.

Background: The height from sea levels, environmental factors, human-environment interactions, and lifestyle significantly influence the lipid profile and glycemic control of a population. Objective: This study aims to explore the influence of altitude on lipid profiles and glycemic control among the Saudi population at sea level and high altitude. Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, a large dataset of patients of both gender and over 30 years old attending internal medicine clinics from two different regions at different heights from sea level, Jeddah (sea level) and Asir region (high altitudes) and referred to commercial laboratories for glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and lipids profile. Results: Compared to the Asir region, the Jeddah region had significantly higher mean values for fasting blood sugar (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) (P < 0.05). Every 1 mg/dL increase in FBG results in a 0.662 mg/dL increase in TG from the Jeddah region. However, it was a 0.318 mg/dL increase in TG from the Asir region. HbA1c demonstrated a significant (P < 0.05) strong positive correlation with TC, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and lipid ratio. FBG levels were also associated with a high level of TC/HDL-C (ß = 0.137 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.11-0.21; P < 0.05), LDL-C/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (ß = 0.50; 95% CI: 0.31-1.49; P < 0.05), and TG/HDL-C (ß = 0.14; 95% CI = 0.12-0.15; P < 0.05) in Jeddah region. However, significantly high blood pressure was observed in the population from high altitudes. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated a significant positive correlation between lipid profile and glycemic control with high prevalence at sea level.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) is the lipoprotein marker among the various lipoproteins that is most strongly related to atherosclerosis. Insulin resistance (IR) can alter lipid metabolism, and sdLDL-C is characteristic of diabetic dyslipidemia. Therefore, this study sought to inspect the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and mean low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size. METHODS: In this study, a total of 128 adults participated. The correlation coefficients between various lipoproteins and the TyG index were compared using Steiger's Z test and the Spearman correlation. The independent link between the TyG index and mean LDL particle size was demonstrated by multiple linear regression analysis. To identify the TyG index cutoff value for the predominance of sdLDL particles, receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted. RESULTS: Mean LDL particle size correlated more strongly with the TyG index than did very low-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Regression analysis demonstrated that mean LDL particle size had a strong association with the TyG index (ß coefficient = -0.038, P-value < 0.001). The TyG index optimal cutoff value for sdLDL particle predominance and the corresponding area under the curve (standard error: 0.028, 95% confidence interval: 0.842-0.952) were 8.72 and 0.897, respectively, which were close to the cutoff value of diabetes risk in Koreans. CONCLUSIONS: Mean LDL particle size is more strongly correlated with the TyG index than do other lipid parameters. After correcting for confounding variables, mean LDL particle size is independently linked with the TyG index. The study indicates that the TyG index is strongly related to atherogenic sdLDL particles predominance.

In 2021 an estimated 74 million individuals had diabetes in India, almost all type 2 diabetes. More than half of patients with diabetes are estimated to be undiagnosed and more 90% have dyslipidemia that is associated with accelerated development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Patients of Indian descent with diabetes have multiple features that distinguish them from patients with diabetes in Western populations. These include characteristics such as earlier age of onset, higher frequency of features of the metabolic syndrome, more prevalent risk factors for ASCVD, and more aggressive course of ASCVD complications. In light of the unique features of diabetes and diabetic dyslipidemia in individuals of Indian descent, the Lipid Association of India developed this expert consensus statement to provide guidance for management of diabetic dyslipidemia in this very high risk population. The recommendations contained herein are the outgrowth of a series of 165 webinars conducted by the Lipid Association of India across the country from May 2020 to July 2021, involving 155 experts in endocrinology and cardiology and an additional 2880 physicians.

Dyslipidemia is a common feature of type 2 diabetes mellitus and is characterised by elevated triglyceride, decreased HDL cholesterol, and increased small dense LDL cholesterol levels. The underlying causes appears to be associated with insulin resistance, increased free fatty acid reflux, and low-grade inflammation, resulting in increased hepatic lipogenesis, and altered lipoprotein metabolism. Improved glycaemic control has been shown to have a positive effect on lipoprotein levels in diabetics. This can be achieved through medications/therapeutics and life style changes. Several classes of pharmacologic agents are currently in use to treat dyslipidemia. However, they may have dangerous long-term side effects, including an increased risk of liver dysfunction, weight gain, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, stronger alternatives with fewer side effects are required to reduce the diabetes associated complications. Many secondary plant metabolites have been shown to improve glucose homeostasis and lower lipid levels. Aloe vera and its constituents have long been used in a traditional medicine system for a diverse range of biological activities, including hypoglycaemic, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing effects through various mechanisms and they have been covered well in literature. However, studies on the potential role of Aloe vera in the treatment of diabetic dyslipidemia are scanty. Therefore, in this systematic review, we focussed on the potential effect of Aloe vera and its active components in alleviating diabetic dyslipidemia, as well as their mechanism of action in pre-clinical and clinical studies.
RESUMEN
Poor glycemic control and dyslipidemia are hallmarks of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which predispose to cardiovascular diseases. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα) has been associated with atherosclerosis, but its role in T2DM is less clear. Previously, we studied PPARα expression levels in diabetics with and without dyslipidemia (DD). In this study we described the association with fasting blood glucose, HbA1c levels and lipid levels of the study population. Patient demography and biochemical data were collected from hospitals in Islamabad, Pakistan, and RT-PCR data of PPARα expression were retrieved from our previous study from the same cohort. We performed t-tests and regression analysis to evaluate the relationships between PPARα expression and demographic and clinical variables. As expected, body mass index and HbA1c were elevated in T2DM and DD patients compared to controls. Blood lipids (total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and HDL) were significantly higher in the DD group compared to the other two groups. In the T2DM and DD groups, the PPARα expression was not associated with any of the physical and biochemical parameters measured in this study. Expression of the PPARα gene was independent of blood lipids and glycemic control in this study. Further research is necessary to better understand the biological parameters of PPARα expression.

Diabetic dyslipidemia is a significant contributor in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study aimed at comparing the effect of dapagliflozin, liraglutide, and atorvastatin alone or their combinations on lipids and inflammatory markers and their vascular impact in T2D rats. There were 56 male albino rats included in the study and divided into two main groups. Group A (8 rats) served as normal control. Group B (48 rats) were streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats. Subgroups (B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, and B-6) received (no medications, dapagliflozin, liraglutide, atorvastatin, dapagliflozin + atorvastatin, and liraglutide + atorvastatin), respectively. Urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), glycosylated hemoglobin (HBA1c), fasting serum glucose (FSG), serum low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), TGs, lipoprotein(a) Lp (a), serum thyrotropin (TSH), highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), were assessed. Qualitative and quantitative histological examination of kidneys focused on renal corpuscles. Dapagliflozin improved the studied parameters but with statistically insignificant increase in LDL-C, Lp (a) and significant increase in UACR. Atorvastatin improved the studied parameters but with statistically insignificant increase in FSG and HbA1C. Liraglutide and the combination groups significantly improved all studied parameters. Histologically, liraglutide and atorvastatin produced therapeutic effect, while dapagliflozin depicted nephrotoxic effect. Combination groups resulted in better effects with normalization of most of renal corpuscles. There were positive correlations between LDL-C and hs-CRP, AGEs, TSH and mesangial expansion. Combination of atorvastatin with liraglutide can improve its vasculoprotective effect. Moreover, combination of atorvastatin with dapagliflozin can ameliorate its possible nephrotoxic effect.

BACKGROUND: Saroglitazar-a unique dual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist was approved marketing authorization in India in 2013 for diabetic dyslipidemia. Postmarketing studies have additionally shown improvement in liver parameters in diabetic dyslipidemia patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) who received saroglitazar. AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of saroglitazar on liver function test, liver fibrosis score by FibroScan, lipid profiles, HbA1c in NAFLD patients with diabetic dyslipidemia in southern India. METHODOLOGY: A prospective, interventional, pilot study was performed to study the safety and efficacy of saroglitazar in NAFLD patients having type 2 diabetes mellitus. About 97 patients were screened, of which 85 patients were involved in the study based on the inclusion criteria. The clinical parameters and liver stiffness were measured at the baseline and also after 12 weeks of treatment with administration of saroglitazar 4 mg once daily. The change in the parameters at the baseline and after the end of the treatment was measured and was subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software. RESULTS: The recruited patients received saroglitazar and were followed up for a period of 12 weeks. The clinical parameters such as fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar, HbA1c, total cholesterol, triglycerides, SGPT, and liver stiffness showed significant difference after 12 weeks of treatment when compared with the baseline values. No adverse drug reaction was reported in patients receiving saroglitazar during the study. CONCLUSION: Saroglitazar was found to show significant improvement in liver parameters in NAFLD patients with a significant reduction in liver fibrosis and triglycerides level.
RESUMEN
AIM: Diabetes mellitus and hypertriglyceridemia may adversely interact with the development of ischemic cardiovascular disease, but epidemiological evidence on this issue is scarce. We hypothesized that the impact of hypertriglyceridemia on ischemic cardiovascular disease (ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke) would differ according to the presence or absence of diabetes mellitus and tested our a priori hypothesis under a large population-based prospective study. METHODS: A total of 90,468 men and women aged 40-79 years in 1993 were enrolled in the Ibaraki Prefectural Health Study (IPHS), a community-based cohort study of Japanese. The participants' serum triglyceride levels (mostly nonfasting) were measured every 5 years, and the participants were followed up for mortality from ischemic cardiovascular disease through 2016. Hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) were calculated according to 5-year updated triglyceride levels (ï¼100, 100-149, 150-199, 200-299, and ≥ 300 mg/dl). RESULTS: During 1,795,877 person-years, there were 3,323 deaths from ischemic cardiovascular diseases (1,968 ischemic heart diseases and 1,355 ischemic strokes). We found no association between triglyceride levels and the risk of mortality from ischemic cardiovascular disease after adjustment for known cardiovascular risk factors. However, when stratified by the presence or absence of diabetes mellitus, excess mortality from ischemic cardiovascular disease appeared among participants with diabetes mellitus with triglyceride levels of ≥ 300 mg/dl. Further adjustment for high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol attenuated the association toward being statistically nonsignificant. CONCLUSION: The impact of high serum triglyceride levels on the risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease mortality was confined to participants with diabetes mellitus.

Adipose tissue as a major organ of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism has a major impact on metabolic homeostasis and thus influences the development of atherosclerosis and related cardiometabolic diseases. Unhealthy adipose tissue, which is often associated with obesity and systemic insulin resistance, promotes the development of diabetic dyslipidemia and can negatively affect vascular tissue homeostasis by secreting pro-inflammatory peptides and lipids. Conversely, paracrine and endocrine factors that are released from healthy adipose tissue can preserve metabolic balance and a functional vasculature. In this chapter, we describe adipose tissue types relevant for atherosclerosis and address the question how lipid metabolism as well as regulatory molecules produced in these fat depots can be targeted to counteract atherogenic processes in the vessel wall and improve plasma lipids. We discuss the role of adipose tissues in the action of approved drugs with anti-atherogenic activity. In addition, we present potential novel targets and therapeutic approaches aimed at increasing lipoprotein disposal in adipose tissue, boosting the activity of heat-producing (thermogenic) adipocytes, reducing adipose tissue inflammation, and improving or replacing beneficial hormones released from adipose tissues. Furthermore, we describe the future potential of innovative drug delivery technologies.

AIMS: The impact of glycemic optimization on lipoprotein subfraction parameters in apparently normolipidemic subjects with new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) was examined. METHODS: We evaluated the serum lipid and advanced lipoprotein profiles in twenty subjects at onset of T1D and twenty non-diabetic controls by laboratory methods and 1H NMR spectroscopy shortly after diabetes diagnosis (baseline), and after achieving optimal glycemic control (HbA1c ≤ 7.0%). RESULTS: Advanced lipoprotein analysis revealed a significant reduction from baseline in serum concentrations of triglycerides (TG), cholesterol (C), and apolipoprotein (Apo)B-containing lipoproteins of treated subjects (VLDL-TG: -21%, IDL-TG: -30%, LDL-TG: -34%, LDL-TG: -36%, P < 0.05; VLDL-C: -23%, IDL-C: -44%, LDL-C: -16%; p < 0.05). Decreased VLDL and LDL lipids were mainly attributed to concomitant reductions in the concentration of medium-sized VLDL (-36%) and medium-sized LDL (-31%) and, to a lesser extent, to large-sized LDL (-14%). Notably, proatherogenic IDL characteristics and related surrogates of atherogenicity were resolved upon achievement of optimal glycemic status. Moreover, the concentration of HDL-TG was also reduced (-18%) at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Our data showed that the achievement of optimal glycemic control after T1D onset corrected hidden derangements in ApoB-containing lipoproteins (particularly IDL) and HDL-TG that are related to higher cardiovascular risk in poorly controlled T1D.

BACKGROUND: Diabetic dyslipidemia is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). American Diabetes Association (ADA) provides internationally accepted guidelines to manage dyslipidemia in T2DM. OBJECTIVE: To assess if ADA guidelines are followed for managing dyslipidemia in patients with T2DM in India. METHODS: This was a subset analysis of a prospective, cross sectional, observational study (LEADD Study) conducted at 199 sites across India to evaluate dyslipidemia management practices in T2DM patients (N=4002), in a real-world setting. The data was stratified based on age and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and ASCVD risk factors to record the percentages of T2DM patients achieving LDL-C target and treated optimally with the Guideline directed intensity of statin. Analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: As per ADA 2018 targets: LDL-C levels (<100mg/dL) were seen in 30.6% of participants. High intensity statins were prescribed to 13.4% of the participants with LDL levels ≥100 mg/dL. ASCVD risk assessment details were available for 89.2% of participants. Data was not available for smoking and albuminuria. In participants <40 years of age, 80% and 64.2% with ASCVD and ASCVD risk factors, respectively, did not achieve target LDL-C levels. In this age group, 15.6% and 83.3% of participants with ASCVD risk factors and ASCVD group, respectively, were not receiving statins in the recommended dose. In participants ≥40 years of age, 88.0% and 91.5% with ASCVD and ASCVD risk factors, respectively, did not have LDL-C levels as per ADA 2018 targets. In this age group, 87.2% and 77.9% of participants with ASCVD risk factors and ASCVD, respectively, were not receiving statins in the recommended dose. CONCLUSION: The sub-analysis of LEADD study shows sub-optimal adherence to ADA 2018 guidelines for management of diabetic dyslipidemia.
RESUMEN
Growing evidence has demonstrated that Insig-1 is intricately involved in lipid metabolism regulation and the progression of lipid disorders. Our review summarizes updated information on the role and underlying mechanisms of Insig-1 in lipid metabolism dyshomeostasis and lipid disorders. As a member of the insulin-induced gene family, insulin-induced gene 1 (Insig-1) is a six-span transmembrane protein embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. Insig-1 is widely involved in the maintenance of intracellular lipid metabolism homeostasis by controlling the activation of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) and the degradation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR). Growing experimental and clinical data have identified that Insig-1 reduces lipid accumulation in hepatocytes to relieve the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), downregulates the plasma level of free cholesterol and protects ß cells against lipotoxicity to alleviate diabetic dyslipidemia. In addition, Insig-1 suppresses adipogenesis and inhibits the differentiation of preadipocytes to prevent the occurrence of obesity. Insig-1 is a key regulatory factor that maintains intracellular lipid metabolism homeostasis and is a promising therapeutic target for lipid disorders.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains as the first cause of death among infectious diseases worldwide. Global incidence of tuberculosis is in part coincident with incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Incidence of T2D is recognized as a high-risk factor that may contribute to tuberculosis dissemination. However, mechanisms which favor infection under T2D are just starting to emerge. Here, we first discuss the evidences that are available to support a metabolic connection between TB and T2D. Then, we analyze the evidences of metabolic changes which occur during T2D gathered thus far for its influence on susceptibility to M. tuberculosis infection and TB progression, such as hyperglycemia, increase of 1AC levels, increase of triglycerides levels, reduction of HDL-cholesterol levels, increased concentration of lipoproteins, and modification of the activity of some hormones related to the control of metabolic homeostasis. Finally, we recognize possible advantages of metabolic management of immunity to develop new strategies for treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of tuberculosis.

BACKGROUND: Saroglitazar, a novel dual peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) agonist, in clinical trials, has shown an improvement in lipid and glycemic parameters through the PPAR-α and γ agonist actions, respectively. It was granted marketing authorization in India in 2013 for diabetic dyslipidemia. This review was conducted to summarize the effects of Saroglitazar in patients with diabetic dyslipidemia in real world clinical studies conducted after marketing authorization in India. METHODS: In this review, we selected real world clinical studies of Saroglitazar published as manuscripts and abstracts presented at scientific conferences. In all these studies, patients with diabetic dyslipidemia were treated with Saroglitazar 4 mg once daily for at least 12 weeks and different lipid and glycemic parameters were measured at the baseline and end of the study. RESULTS: In 18 selected studies (5 published manuscripts and 13 abstracts), a total of 5824 patients with diabetic dyslipidemia were prescribed Saroglitazar 4 mg for a duration ranging from 12 to 58 weeks. Across all the studies, mean age of patients ranged from 49.6 to 59.1 years and the proportion of female patients ranged from 22% to 42%. Across all the studies, there was a consistent mean reduction in triglyceride levels (~ 45% to 62%), total cholesterol levels (~ 17% to 26%), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (~ 21% to 36%), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (~ 11% to 27%), and glycosylated hemoglobin levels (~ 0.7% to 1.6%) with an increase in mean high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (up to 9%) from baseline to end of the study. Saroglitazar also improved alanine aminotransferase levels and fatty liver (evaluated by FibroScan™) in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients with diabetic dyslipidemia. Body weight remained unchanged and no significant adverse events (AEs) were reported in the studies. CONCLUSION: Saroglitazar effectively improved lipid and glycemic parameters without significant AEs in patients with diabetic dyslipidemia in real-world clinical studies of up to 58 weeks duration.

Talinum triangulare leaf flavonoid extract (TTFE) was evaluated for its effects on streptozotocin-hyperglycemia and associated complications especially as it relates to dyslipidemia, lipid peroxidation, and renal dysfunction in rats. Two normoglycemic rat groups designated: control (administered distilled water) and control + TTFE (administered 10 mg/kg b.w. TTFE) and two streptozotocin-induced (STZ) diabetic rat groups designated: STZ-control (administered distilled water) and STZ + TTFE (administered 10 mg/kg TTFE). The treatment was given orally once daily for 21 consecutive days. Body weight and insulin concentration showed significant improvement while blood glucose, uric acid, creatinine, and total bilirubin concentrations were significantly reduced in diabetic rats administered TTFE compared to diabetic untreated rats. Furthermore, triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and malondialdehyde concentrations were significantly lowered in diabetic rats administered TTFE compared with diabetic untreated rats. Key enzymes involved in carbohydrate breakdown and cholesterol synthesis, α-amylase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase, respectively, were significantly inhibited in TTFE-treated diabetic rats compared to diabetic control. Results presented in this study suggest that administration of TTFE for 21 days normalized STZ-induced hyperglycemia and its associated dyslipidemia by a mechanism involving inhibition of α-amylase and HMG-CoA reductase activities, respectively, in rats.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Moderate hypertriglyceridemia is exceedingly common in diabetes, and there is growing evidence that it contributes to residual cardiovascular risk in statin-optimized patients. Major fibrate trials yielded inconclusive results regarding the cardiovascular benefit of lowering triglycerides, although there was a signal for improvement among patients with high triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-the "diabetic dyslipidemia" phenotype. Until recently, no trials have examined a priori the impact of triglyceride lowering in patients with diabetic dyslipidemia, who are likely among the highest cardiovascular-risk patients. RECENT FINDINGS: In the recent REDUCE IT trial, omega-3 fatty acid icosapent ethyl demonstrated efficacy in lowering cardiovascular events in patients with high triglycerides, low HDL, and statin-optimized low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The ongoing PROMINENT trial is examining the impact of pemafibrate in a similar patient population. Emerging evidence suggests that lowering triglycerides may reduce residual cardiovascular risk, especially in high-risk patients with diabetic dyslipidemia.
