Soluble Form of Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products Is Associated with Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome in Adolescents

Abstract: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between soluble form of receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), obesity, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adolescents. A total of 522 male and 561 female adolescents were enrolled into the final analyses. Anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, blood biochemistry, fasting insulin, and plasma sRAGE levels were measured. In males, sRAGE was significantly and inversely correlated with waist circumference (WC), body mass ind… Show more

“…even if not accompanied by additional cardiometabolic risk factors such as elevated BP, AIP, and IR, associates with low sRAGE and esRAGE levels. In contrast with our hypothesis, the missing association between sRAGE and/or esRAGE and measures of obesity in some but not all studies [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][39][40][41][42][43] might not be related to the metabolically healthy obese phenotype. Since in non-diabetic adults low sRAGE levels associate independently with a future risk of cardiometabolic diseases and mortality [24], we might presume that a metabolically healthy obese phenotype is far from being a benign condition [44,45].…”

“…It is presumed that sRAGE levels reflect tissue RAGE expression [12]. However, the majority [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], but not all [21][22][23], studies in non-diabetic individuals report lower sRAGE and/or esRAGE levels in obese vs. lean subjects, and/or an inverse relationship between measures of obesity and circulating receptor levels. Reasons underlying these inconsistencies remain unclear but are intriguing in view of the observations that in non-diabetics low sRAGE levels associate with an increased risk of development of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or death [18,[24][25][26].…”

“…We found the mean sRAGE concentrations in the control group were more than double the concentrations in PCOS patients, so the difference might be more pronounced between PCOS patients and non-tubal factor patients. sRAGE decreased in women with a BMI of greater than 25 [17], so only patients with BMIs ≤25 were included. As there is a documented negative correlation between the sRAGE levels and BMI [22], sRAGE might be lower in the obese PCOS patients.…”

“…The cycle determinants included age, FSH/LH, body mass index (BMI), total gonadotropin (Gn) dose in international units used per cycle, the number of days of stimulation, the number of oocytes retrieved, the rate of high-quality embryos, and the normal fertilization rate. sRAGE decreases in women older than 35 years old and women with BMIs >25 [17]; thus, only patients <35 years old with BMIs ≥18 and ≤25 were included. The general data in the two groups are shown in Table 1.…”
