Introduction: Adiponectin has anti-inflammatory, insulin-sensitising and atheroprotective effects in rodents. Although serum adiponectin is uniformly downregulated in obesity, its clinical relevance in humans seems more complex. It is not known whether changes in circulating adiponectin predict type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and mortality in an obese population. Hypothesis: We hypothesised that adiponectin levels are upregulated substantially after weight loss following bariatric surgery and that pronounced increases of adiponectin should offer better protection for individuals against type 2 diabetes. In addition, findings for type 2 diabetes should be compared to associations with cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, cancer and mortality. Methods: Serum concentrations of total adiponectin were measured in 3,223 participants of the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) Study (1,533 in the bariatric surgery group: 229 with gastric bypass, 1056 with vertical banded gastroplasty, 248 with adjustable gastric banding; 1,690 in the control group without surgery) at study baseline and after 2 years. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) per 1 standard deviation (SD) of 2-year changes (concentration at year 2 - concentration at baseline) in adiponectin were calculated for incident type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, cancer and mortality in the combined surgery group. Numbers of cases were 93, 122, 78, 55, 82 and 179, respectively. Median follow-up times ranged from 10 years for diabetes up to 16 years for mortality. Results: Mean (SD) levels of adiponectin at baseline were 7,453 (4,150) ng/ml in the combined surgery group and 8,247 (4,846) ng/ml in the control group. During the first 2 years of follow-up, adiponectin levels increased in the surgery group by 4,850 (5,387) ng/ml (parallel to a loss of 24% of body weight) and decreased slightly by 270 (2,650) ng/ml in the control group (parallel to a slight gain of 0.1% body weight). The degree of correlation between changes in adiponectin and weight loss in kg was more pronounced in the surgery groups compared with the control group (p=0.001 for interaction). Two-year increases in adiponectin in the surgery group were associated with decreased risk of type 2 diabetes (HR [95% CI] 0.61 [0.38-0.98], adjusted for baseline data for age, sex, BMI, lipids, blood pressure, alcohol consumption, smoking, anti-hypertensive drugs, glucose, insulin), but not with cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, cancer and mortality (adjusted HR between 0.89 and 1.05). Conclusions: Weight loss after bariatric surgery is paralleled by a substantial increase in circulating adiponectin. The degree of upregulation of adiponectin is associated with protection against future type 2 diabetes, but not with the incidence of cardiovascular outcomes, cancer or mortality.

OBJECTIVE Trends in cardiac risk and death have not been examined in patients with incident type 2 diabetes and no prior cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we aimed to examine trends in cardiac risk and death in relation to use of prophylactic cardiovascular medications in patients with incident type 2 diabetes without prior cardiovascular disease. <p>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this population-based cohort study, we included patients with incident type 2 diabetes between 1996 and 2011 through national health registries. Each patient was matched by age and sex with up to 5 persons without diabetes from the general population. All individuals were followed for 7 years.</p> <p>RESULTS We identified 209,311 patients with incident diabetes. From 1996-1999 to 2008-2011, the 7-year risk of myocardial infarction decreased from 6.9% to 2.8% (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.39, 95% CI 0.37-0.42), cardiac death from 7.1% to 1.6% (aHR 0.23, 95% CI 0.21-0.24), and all-cause death from 28.9% to 16.8% (aHR 0.68, 95% CI 0.66-0.69). Compared to the general population, 7-year risk differences decreased from 3.3% to 0.8% for myocardial infarction, from 2.7% to 0.5% for cardiac death, and from 10.6% to 6.0% for all-cause death. Use of cardiovascular medications within ±1 year of diabetes diagnosis, especially statins (5% users in 1996-1999 vs. 60% in 2008-2011), increased during the study period.</p> <p>CONCLUSIONS From 1996 to 2011, Danish patients with incident type 2 diabetes and no prior cardiovascular disease experienced major reductions in cardiac risk and mortality. The risk reductions coincided with increased use of prophylactic cardiovascular medications. </p> <br> <p> </p>

AbstractThe prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity is steadily increasingworldwide. To fight the twin pandemics of obesity and T2DM, clinicians need everytool they can get. Major, durable weight loss is uncommon with medical andbehavioral approaches; many diabetes drugs promote weight gain, while using themto obtain better blood glucose profiles increases the risk of hypoglycemia. Bariatricsurgery seems to be the most effective method for promoting major and durableweight loss in obese subjects, leading also to ameliorations of obesity-associated comorbidities,especially T2DM. Currently, indications for bariatric surgery includemorbidly obese patients or patients with a body mass index (BMI) >35 withsignificant co-morbidities. Currently, bariatric surgery (also referred to as“metabolic surgery”) is advocated for the treatment of T2DM even in overweightsubjects who do not meet the current BMI criteria. This review examines the currentevidence regarding the mechanisms of T2DM resolution following bariatric surgery.

Metabolic surgery is the most efficacious method for the treatment of morbid obesity and was recently included among the antidiabetes treatments recommended in obese type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. The aim of this study was to compare in a randomized controlled trial the effect of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) to that of intensive lifestyle intervention plus pharmacologic treatment on some markers of insulin resistance and beta cell function as well as some appetite controlling hormones in a group of male obese T2D subjects. The study groups comprised 20 subjects for SG and 21 control subjects. Fasting blood glucose, insulin, proinsulin, adiponectin, leptin, ghrelin, HOMA-IR, HOMA-%B, proinsulin-to-insulin ratio and proinsulin-to-adiponectin ratio were evaluated at baseline and after one year follow-up. Overall, patients in the SG group lost 78.98% of excess weight loss (%EWL) in comparison with 9.45% in the control group. This was accompanied by a significant improvement of insulin resistance markers, including increase of adiponectin and decrease of HOMA-IR, while no changes were recorded in the control group. Weight loss was also associated with a significant improvement of proinsulin-to-insulin and proinsulin-to-adiponectin ratio, both surrogate markers of beta cell dysfunction. These also improved in the control group, but were only marginally significant. Our findings suggest that improved insulin resistance and decreased beta cell dysfunction after sleeve gastrectomy might explain diabetes remission associated with metabolic surgery.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in diabetes mellitus. Endothelial dysfunction is the first step in the development of atherosclerotic vascular lesions, which underlies cardiovascular pathology, and adhesion molecules secreted by the endothelium during inflammatory changes are involved in the progression of this lesion. The objective: the serum level of adhesive molecules (ІCAM-1, VCAM-1, Е-selectin) in hypertensive and non-hypertensive type 2 diabetes patients as a marker of endothelial dysfunction and its relationship with other risk factors for cardiovascular disease was studied. Materials and methods. We examined 64 patients with type 2 diabetes, which were divided into two subgroups: the first subgroup – 41 hypertensive type 2 diabetes patients (age – 53,56±7,14 years, BMI – 32,2±87,4; HbA1c – 9,97±2,02%), the second subgroup – 23 nonhypertensive type 2 diabetes patients (age – 50,5±4,92 years, BMI – 25,4±5,22; HbA1c – 9,09±1,95%). The control group included 18 people without diabetes with normal blood pressure (age – 50,72±6,98 years, BMI – 24,71±4,88; HbA1c – 5,26±0,42%). The serum level was determined by immunoenzyme assay. The significance of the difference between the mean values was determined by the t-Student test. Multifactor regression analysis was used to assess the relationships between the studied factors. Results. We revealed an increase of serum levels of ІCAM-1, VCAM-1, Е-selectin in hypertensive (+71,62%, +68,42%, +66,95%, respectively) and non-hypertensive type 2 diabetes patients (+46,17%, +62,79%, +42,85%, respectively) compared with the control group (p<0,01). The serum concentration of ІCAM-1, Е-selectin was higher in hypertensive type 2 diabetes patients compared to non-hypertensive type 2 diabetes patients (+17,27%, +16,86%, respectively, p<0,01). There was a significant effect of Hb1Ac, lipids, insulin resistance on the serum level of ІCAM-1, VCAM-1, Е-selectin (p<0,01). The corresponding regression equations are derived. Conclusion. There is an increase of serum level of ІCAM-1, VCAM-1, Е-selectin in hypertensive and non-hypertensive type 2 diabetes patients, which indicates the development of endothelial dysfunction. Hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance contribute to the development of these changes.

<b>OBJECTIVE</b> <p>Obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with serious, adverse health effects, including cancer. Although bariatric surgery has been shown to reduce cancer risk in patients with obesity, the effect of bariatric surgery on cancer risk in patients with obesity and diabetes is less studied. We therefore examined the long-term incidence of cancer after bariatric surgery and usual care in patients with obesity and diabetes in the matched prospective Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study. </p> <p><b>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS</b></p> <p>The SOS study examines long-term outcomes following bariatric surgery or usual care. The current analysis includes 701 patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes at baseline, 393 of which underwent bariatric surgery, and 308 who received conventional obesity treatment. Information on cancer events was obtained from the Swedish National Cancer Register. Median follow-up time was 21.3 years (interquartile range 17.6-24.8 years, maximum 30.7 years). </p> <p><b>RESULTS</b></p> <p>During follow-up, the incidence rate for first-time cancer was 9.1 per 1000-person-years (95% CI, 7.2-11.5) in patients with obesity and diabetes treated with bariatric surgery and 14.1 per 1000-person-years (95% CI, 11.2-17.7) in patients treated with usual obesity care (HRadj=0.63; 95% CI 0.44-0.89, p=0.008). Moreover, surgery was associated with reduced cancer incidence in women (HRadj=0.58; 0.38-0.90, p=0.016), although the sex-treatment interaction was non-significant (p=0.630). In addition, diabetes remission at the 10-year follow-up was associated with reduced cancer incidence (HRadj=0.40; 95% CI 0.22-0.74, p=0.003).</p> <p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b></p> <p>These results suggest that bariatric surgery prevents cancer in patients with obesity and diabetes, and that durable diabetes remission is associated with reduced cancer risk. </p>

ObjectiveIncreased circulating calprotectin has been reported in obese subjects but not in association with measures of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). The main aim of this study was to determine whether calprotectins in plasma and urine are associated with insulin resistance.DesignWe performed both cross-sectional and longitudinal (diet-induced weight loss) studies.MethodsCirculating calprotectin concentrations (ELISA), other inflammatory markers, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and parameters of glucose and lipid metabolism were evaluated in 298 subjects (185 with normal (NGT) and 62 with impaired (IGT) glucose tolerance and 51 T2D subjects). Calprotectin was also evaluated in urine samples from 71 participants (50 NGT and 21 subjects with IGT). Insulin sensitivity (SI, Minimal Model) was determined in a subset of 156 subjects, and the effects of weight loss were investigated in an independent cohort of obese subjects (n=19).ResultsCirculating calprotectin was significantly increased in IGT–T2D (independently of BMI) and positively associated with HOMA-IR, obesity measures, inflammatory markers, and parameters of glucose and lipid metabolism. Similar findings were reported for calprotectin concentrations in urine. In the subset of subjects, the association of calprotectin withSIwas independent of BMI and age. In fact,SItogether with C-reactive protein contributed to 27.4% of calprotectin variance after controlling for age and blood neutrophils count. Otherwise, weight loss led to decreased circulating calprotectin in parallel to fasting glucose and HOMA-IR.ConclusionThese findings suggest that circulating and urinary concentrations of calprotectin are linked to chronic low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance beyond obesity.

Introduction: Obesity is an increasingly prevalent global health issue and has a considerable disease burden, including numerous co-morbidities. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is one such co-morbidity associated with a high mortality rate and prevalence, especially in patients with obesity and concomitant Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Bariatric surgery is an effective intervention for patients with obesity, shown to reduce overall cardiovascular disease risk. However, few studies have quantified the long-term impact of bariatric surgery on ASCVD outcomes in the context of key co-morbidities such as T2DM. Hypothesis: Bariatric surgery will improve long-term ASCVD outcomes in obese patients with T2DM. Methods: A nested, nationwide, propensity-matched cohort study was carried out using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. The study cohort included 593 patients who underwent bariatric surgery and had no past history of ASCVD. A further 593 patients served as propensity-score matched controls. Patients were followed up for a median time of 47.2 months. The primary composite study endpoint was the incidence of ASCVD defined by a diagnosis of new coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease (CeVD), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), or other miscellaneous atherosclerotic disease. Secondary endpoints included all-cause mortality and the incidence of CAD, CeVD, and PAD individually. Results: Patients who underwent bariatric surgery had significantly lower rates of new ASCVD during follow-up (HR 0.53, CI 0.30-0.95, p=0.032). No significant difference was observed in rates of new CAD (HR 0.69, CI 0.32-1.46, p=0.331), CeVD (HR 0.23, CI 0.00-5.45, p=0.1760) and PAD (HR 0.55, CI 0.21-1.43, p=0.218). The bariatric surgery group also had a lower rate of all-cause mortality (HR 0.36, CI 0.19-0.71, p=0.003) compared to controls. Conclusions: In this study, bariatric surgery was associated with improved ASCVD outcomes, as well as lower all-cause mortality, in patients with obesity and T2DM. These findings support the use of bariatric surgery in treating obesity and reducing the burden of its related comorbidities.
