Article Abstract

Hypertension and metabolic syndrome frequently coexist to increase the risk for adverse cardiometabolic outcomes. To date, no drug has been proven to be effective in treating hypertension with metabolic syndrome. M-atrial natriuretic peptide is a novel atrial natriuretic peptide analog that activates the particulate guanylyl cyclase A receptor. This study conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 22 patients and demonstrated that a single subcutaneous injection of M-atrial natriuretic peptide was safe, well-tolerated, and exerted pleiotropic properties including blood pressure-lowering, lipolytic, and insulin resistance-improving effects. (MANP in Hypertension and Metabolic Syndrome [MANP-HTN-MS]; NCT03781739).

Background: While osteoporosis in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is widely studied, PHPT patients with osteopenia remain less characterized. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, biochemical features, and estimated fracture risk of osteopenic PHPT patients in a real-life cohort.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a consecutive series of PHPT patients with available densitometric data at three sites.

Introduction: Lactate has emerged as a multifunctional signaling molecule regulating various physiological and pathological processes. Furthermore, lactylation, a newly identified posttranslational modification triggered by lactate accumulation, plays significant roles in human health and diseases. This study aims to investigate the roles of lactate/lactylation in respiratory diseases.

The treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease involves physical activity, weight loss, and management of comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia). In 2024, the American Food and Drug Administration provisionally approved resmetirom for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. Other promising molecules are being evaluated (glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, fibroblast growth factor 21 agonist).

Metabolic Syndrome Is Associated with the Prognosis in Elderly Critically Ill Patients with Acute Kidney Injury.

Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes

September 2025

Department of Nephrology, Wuyi County First People's Hospital, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is linked to adverse outcomes in chronic diseases, but its impact on acute kidney injury (AKI) in elderly critically ill patients remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between MetS and 90-day mortality in this population.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis included 774 elderly patients (≥65 years) with AKI admitted to the ICU from January 2022 to December 2023.

The vascular endothelium is responsible for regulating vascular tone, maintaining fluid homeo-stasis, and preventing platelet aggregation, exhibits regulatory properties in vasorelaxation and vasoconstriction - it produces, among others, nitric oxide and endothelin. The imbalance of vasoactive molecules leads to the loss of their function, known as endothelial dysfunction. Impaired endothelial function is observed in people with metabolic disorders, often preceding the onset of the disease by several years.
