Circulating levels of adipose tissue-derived inflammatory factors in elderly diabetes patients with carotid atherosclerosis: a retrospective study

Abstract: BackgroundInflammation has been recognized as a key feature of both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and atherosclerosis. However, the relationships between circulating levels of novel adipose tissue-derived inflammatory factors, including resistin, vaspin, and visfatin, and the severity of atherosclerosis have not been determined. Moreover, the associations between these inflammatory factors and obesity and insulin resistance in elderly patients remain to be clarified.MethodsA cross-sectional study of 256 elde… Show more

“…fat-related in ammatory markers such as IL-6 and leptin, play an important role in atherosclerosis including initial activation of endothelial cells, through atherosclerotic progression and, ultimately, its nal complication, thrombosis 39 . As was shown in a cohort of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, adipose tissue-derived in ammatory factors resistin, vaspin and visfatin were associated with pathogenesis of carotid atherosclerosis 40 . Third, visceral abdominal fat has a direct circulatory connection to the liver.…”

“…in particular, it was identified that the majority of BPs were associated with 'inflammatory response', 'cellular response to cytokine stimulus' and 'lipid metabolic process'. In previous years, a number of studies have suggested that T2DM may be a chronic inflammatory response modulated by inflammatory factors (66)(67)(68)(69). Immune cell infiltration and high levels of cytokines were observed in the pancreas islets of T2dM (70,71), which caused differing degrees of impairment to pancreatic β-cell activity, resulting in β-cell failure (72,73).…”

“…The pathophysiological links mediating this cross-talk between micro- and macrovascular complications possibly involve shared pathways such as insulin resistance, low-grade chronic inflammation, increased oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction [51]. Indeed, several adipose tissue-derived inflammatory factors were associated with the severity of carotid atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetic patients [52].…”
