Metabolic syndrome is associated with current diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, which are accompanied by changes in the intestinal microbiota and the functioning of the immune and neuro-humoral systems of the body. Without detracting from the role of heredity and environmental factors, the intestinal microbiota makes a significant contribution to the development of metabolic disorders and obesity by modulating cascading enzymatic reactions of the macroorganism, interacting with receptors directly and/or using its own metabolites and signaling molecules.The purpose of study was to analyze the literature data obtained in the study of the role of the intestinal microbiota in the development of metabolic syndrome (MS).Results: A review of current literature on the role of intestinal microbiota in the development of metabolic syndrome is presented. The features of the mucosal microflora of the colon, the role of bacterial films, epithelial lining of the intestinal mucosa in the formation of the intestinal microbial-tissue complex as the leading links of metabolic disorders are discussed. The article presents data on the variability of short-chain fatty acids, bacterial genome in the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

In this article, the authors analyze a number of known and probable mechanisms involved in the formation of metabolic disorders upon chronic pancreatitis in comorbidity with metabolic syndrome. The issue of involvement of pancreatic endocrine apparatus in development of insulin resistance upon chronic pancreatitis, namely, the role of such a hormone as insulin, is highlighted. The role of this hormone in development of disorders of fat metabolism, obesity and arterial hypertension is presented. The authors emphasize the role of adrenal hormones, estrogen in the pathogenesis of both diseases. The issue of effect of endocrine function disorders on the state of external pancreatic secretion with subsequent development of disorders in the microbiota composition is considered (which also contributes to the progression of both diseases). The data on presence of a possible relationship between the composition, functional activity of the intestinal microbiota and development of metabolic syndrome, chronic pancreatitis are given. The significance of intestinal microbiota in the maintenance of various vital processes of a healthy person, food digestion, as well as synthesis, metabolism, recycling, utilization of various biologically active substances (vitamins, hormones, steroids, immunoglobulins) and elimination of toxins is revealed. The role of microorganisms in the formation of feeding behavior via axis “intestinal microbiome — intestine — brain” is analyzed. Modern ideas on the ability of microorganisms to provoke formation of metabolic disorders upon chronic pancreatitis are presented. The data confirming connection of certain dysbiotic changes (increased ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes, reduced number of Bacteroidetes and increased number of Firmicutes) with development of obesity, overweight, type 2 diabetes mellitus (known risk factors of metabolic syndrome) is given. It is suggested to prevent formation of metabolic syndrome in chronic pancreatitis by increasing the number of specimens of Bifidobacterium genus and Faecalibacteriumprausnitzii strains in the intestine.

Obesity and metabolic syndrome are among the major problems of modern society. The increase in obesity is associated with a corresponding increase in type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. A huge amount of scientific research has been devoted to the development of methods to reduce obesity and its complications. In recent years, attention has shifted towards studying the intestinal microbiota not only as a possible component of the pathological process but also as a target of therapeutic intervention. Recent evidence, primarily from investigations in animal models, suggests that the intestinal microbiota affects nutrient acquisition and energy regulation. This review will discuss the role of the intestinal microbiota in metabolic processes as well as the latest developments on the improvement of disturbances specific to obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Introduction. Patients with vibration disease (VD) often have obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS), which increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and other conditions predisposing to a decrease in the quality and longevity of life. Genetic predisposition, overnutrition, environmental factors, including industrial ones, and others are factors influencing the formation of MS. The aim of the study is to identify associations between polymorphisms of the LEPR, PPARG and PPARGC1A genes, metabolic syndrome and obesity in VD patients caused by exposure to local vibration and the combined effects of local and general vibration. Material and methods. We examined 248 VD male patients exposed to local vibration and the combined impact of the local and general vibration. We have identified a subgroup of MS and obesity cases. The distribution of genotypes of the LEPR, PPARG and PPARGC1A genes in groups was studied. Results. In the group of VD and MS patients exposed to the combined effect of local and general vibration, the Gln/Gln genotype of the Arg223Gln polymorphic locus of the LEPR gene was less common, and the Arg / Gln genotype in MS cases was detected more often than in patients without it. Among patients with VD caused by exposure to local vibration with a waist circumference of more than 102 cm, the Gly / Ser genotype of the Gly482Ser polymorphism of the PPARGC1A gene was more common than among those with lower values of this indicator. Conclusion. In patients with VD caused by combined exposure to local and general vibration, the Gln/Gln genotype carrier of the Arg223Gln polymorphism of the LEPR gene may play a protective role in the formation of MS. Among individuals with VD caused by exposure to local vibration, carriers of the heterozygous genotype of the Gly482Ser polymorphism of the PPARGC1A gene may have a predisposition to the development of obesity. The obtained results are preliminary and require further research.

Background:Objectives:To assess the potential role of angiopoietin-like protein type 4 (ANGPTL4) in metabolic disorders caused by inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:The study included 88 patients with significant RA, 64 patients with other rheumatic diseases (RD) (36 patients with osteoarthritis (OA); 28 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA); 17 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS)) and 32 healthy individuals. Estimation of ANGPTL4 was carried out by enzyme immunoassay using the commercial test system “RayBio Human ANGPTL4 ELISA Kit” (RayBiotech, USA) in blood serum. Levels of ESR, CRP, RF, antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) and modified vimentin (anti-MCV) in the ELISA test were determined for all patients with RA.Results:The level of ANGPTL4 in the blood serum of patients with RA was significantly higher than in healthy people (p <0.001) and patients with other RD (p = 0.012 compared with OA; p = 0.046 with PsA; p = 0.008 with AS). ANGPTL4 indices in patients with RA correlated with the age of onset of RA (r = -0.658, p <0.001), disease activity according to DAS-28 (r = 0.449, p = 0.001), level of education (r = 0.235, p = 0.029), dose of glucocorticoid hormones (r = 0.321, p = 0.009) and methotrexate (r = -0.496, p = 0.05), the presence of osteopenia (r = 0.44), signs of kidney damage - proteinuria (r = 0.309, p = 0.037) and hypoalbuminemia (r = 0.386, p = 0.022), as well as with CRP levels (r = 0.488, p = 0.003), ESR (r = 0.458, p = 0.002), serum vitamin D (r = -0.417) and urinary calcium when recalculated to creatinine (r = 0.797, p = 0.032).Patients with RA showed a high frequency of insulin resistance (according to the HOMA-IR index) (1.27 [0.84–1.62] in patients with RA; 0.76 [0.44–1.02] in healthy individuals; p <0.001) and the presence of coronary heart disease, as well as a positive correlation between disease activity (according to DAS-28) and insulin resistance (according to the HOMA-IR index) (p = 0.033).Higher values of C-reactive protein (p = 0.04) and serum ANGPTL4 levels (p = 0.042, compared with patients with RA without type 2 diabetes; p = 0.026, compared with healthy individuals) were determined in the group of patients with RA with the presence of type 2 diabetes. ANGPTL4 acts as an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase. His contribution to the development of dyslipidemia in RA can be demonstrated by the results we obtained when comparing groups of patients with / without signs of metabolic syndrome (MS). A positive correlation between ANGPTL4 and triglyceride levels (r = 0.42, p = 0.018) was found. An increase in the level of ANGPTL4 in blood serum of patients with RA with MS (p = 0.027 compared with RA without MS) can predict the development of cardiac pathology in this group of patients.Conclusion:ANGPTL4 is directly involved in the regulation of glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism, and insulin sensitivity. Cardiovascular diseases associated with atherosclerosis, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome are known as the most common extraarticular manifestations of RA; the study of the role of ANGPTL4 in metabolic disorders caused by inflammation can show a new direction in the development of laboratory and therapeutic technologies in RA.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Polyphenols are categorized as plant secondary metabolites, and they have attracted much attention in relation to human health and the prevention of chronic diseases. In recent years, a considerable number of studies have been published concerning their physiological function in the digestive tract, such as their prebiotic properties and their modification of intestinal microbiota. It has also been suggested that several hydrolyzed and/or fission products, derived from the catabolism of polyphenols by intestinal bacteria, exert their physiological functions in target sites after transportation into the body. Thus, this review article focuses on the role of intestinal microbiota in the bioavailability and physiological function of dietary polyphenols. Monomeric polyphenols, such as flavonoids and oligomeric polyphenols, such as proanthocyanidins, are usually catabolized to chain fission products by intestinal bacteria in the colon. Gallic acid and ellagic acid derived from the hydrolysis of gallotannin, and ellagitannin are also subjected to intestinal catabolism. These catabolites may play a large role in the physiological functions of dietary polyphenols. They may also affect the microbiome, resulting in health promotion by the activation of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) excretion and intestinal immune function. The intestinal microbiota is a key factor in mediating the physiological functions of dietary polyphenols.

The combination of obesity and type 2 diabetes is a serious health problem, which is projected to afflict 300 million people worldwide by 2020. Both clinical and translational laboratory studies have demonstrated that chronic inflammation is associated with obesity and obesity-related conditions such as insulin resistance. However, the precise etiopathogenetic mechanisms linking obesity to diabetes remain to be elucidated, and the pathways that mediate this phenomenon are not fully characterized. One of the most recently identified signaling pathways, whose activation seems to affect many metabolic disorders, is the “inflammasome,” a multiprotein complex composed of NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat protein 3), ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD), and procaspase-1. NLRP3 inflammasome activation leads to the processing and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin- (IL-) 1βand IL-18. The goal of this paper is to review new insights on the effects of the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the complex mechanisms of crosstalk between different organs, for a better understanding of the role of chronic inflammation in metabolic disease pathogenesis. We will provide here a perspective on the current research on NLRP3 inflammasome, which may represent an innovative therapeutic target to reverse the detrimental metabolic consequences of the metabolic inflammation.

The organized infant’s sleep schedule is the crucial part of normal individual development. On the contrary, restless sleep, nocturnal awakening, long wakefulness can lead to deviations in physical, psychomotor, and cognitive development. Feeding schedule organized according to the time of a day and circadian rhythms (chrono-nutrition concept) can be useful for prevention and correction of such disorders. You are aware of the effect of such factors as feeding before night's sleep, nutrition at dark time of a day, diet enriched with triptophane and nucleotides, on the maturation and consolidation of infants sleep. The correlation between intestinal microbiota and factors affecting the circadian and metabolic activity of the body are presented: day-night cycles, sleep and wake, diet and nutrition. Targeted regulation of the intestinal microbiota through products enriched with functional components (prebiotics) can lead to the development of healthy sleep in infants via axis “brain – intestine – microbiota”.

The metabolic disorders are major health issues of today’s scenario and incidences of metabolic diseases increases day by day due to the disturbed pattern of life style. Ayurveda texts have described term “Santarpanjanya Vikaras” which resembles diseases of defective tissue metabolism. Ayurveda mentioned that improper dietary habits and sedentary life style affects state of Agni which resulted Ama production and finally leading to the metabolic syndrome. The vitiation of Dosha, diminish state of Dhatu and blockage of channels, etc. also can initiate pathogenesis of metabolic disorders. The Kayachikitsa branch of Ayurveda recommended use of internal medicine for the management of various metabolic disorders. Considering increased health burden of society due to the metabolic syndrome present article explore role of ayurveda internal medicine for the management of metabolic syndrome. Keywords: Ayurveda, metabolic syndrome, Santarpanjanya, Madhumeha and Sthoulya.
