Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome Parameters in Multiple Sclerosis

Description

            The roles of sodium or iodine intake on the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) etiology remain controversial. We evaluated the associations of 24 h urinary sodium and iodine with MetS among Mesoamerican children and their adult parents. Individuals with bipolar disorder have a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome and an increased risk for cognitive deficits. The aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate the trajectory of cognitive decline in dependence of metabolic syndrome over a one-year interval. Metabolic (dysfunction)-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) was proposed to replace Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Some people fulfill diagnostic criteria of NAFLD but not MAFLD (NAFLD without MAFLD), but the clinical implications of NAFLD in these subjects is unknown. Metabolic syndrome and Multiple Sclerosis [MS] share the presence of chronic inflammation in their pathogenic mechanisms.

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome parameters in MS and their association with disease disability, cognitive function, and Neuro filament Light chain [NfL] levels. Reserpine is as old as the scientific diagnosis of hypertension. For many years’ clinicians have used it for the treatment of high blood pressure, but with the passage of time and introduction of new anti-hypertensive drugs, the usage of reserpine has gone down drastically most probably due to poorly understood mechanism of action and multiple misleading adverse effects precisely due to high dosing of reserpine. With an aim to elucidate the specific mechanism of action, we screened reserpine against various targets associated with regulation of blood pressure. Surprisingly reserpine showed remarkable inhibitory potential for soluble epoxide hydrolase an enzyme responsible for pathophysiology of not only hypertension but also hyperlipidemia, diabetes and inflammation collectively known as metabolic syndrome. The in-silico, in-vitro and in-vivo results showed that reserpine has the ability to treat metabolic syndrome effectively by inhibiting soluble epoxide hydrolase. Inflammation due to the excess of nutrient intake plays an important role in the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Here, the potential influence of neutrophils and their degranulation markers on MetS improvement upon dietary and behavioral counselling has been investigated. Specifically, we aimed at investigating their role as potential predictors of metabolic syndrome improvements.
