Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis in adults and has continued to increase in prevalence over the past decades. Gout is characterized by hyperuricemia with the obligatory crystallization of urates and an associated inflammatory reaction, as well as metabolic effects caused, among other things, by these processes. In particular, the diagnosis of gout is identified with a high risk of carbohydrate metabolism disorders, which is 2 times higher than the population risk: according to various sources, from 21 to 26% of patients with gout have type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM 2). However, the role of uric acid and urate-lowering drugs in its development in patients with gout remains controversial. The possibility of influencing the risk of developing diabetes mellitus type 2 of chronic inflammation, the activity of interleukin-1β and other pro-inflammatory cytokines, hyperuricemia, xanthioxidase and other factors associated with gout is discussed. It is possible that the level of uric acid is associated with diabetes and other metabolic diseases, causing pathophysiological changes not only through inflammation, but also oxidative stress, damage to the vascular endothelium. It is also suggested that gout and DM 2 may share genetic markers. The interrelation of violations of purine and carbohydrate metabolism prompts the search for drugs that have a simultaneous positive effect on purine and carbohydrate metabolism. However, it is not clear what the level of uric acid should be considered as a risk factor, there are conflicting data on the possibility of reducing the risk of developing diabetes with various anti-gout therapies.

The aim of this paper was to assess serum uric acid (SUA) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with or without sudomotor dysfunction (evaluated by the Neuropad test). We included 36 T2DM patients with sudomotor dysfunction (group A: mean age63.1±2.6years) and 40 age-, gender-, renal function- and T2DM duration-matched patients without sudomotor dysfunction (group B: mean age62.1±3.1years). SUA was significantly higher in group A (P<0.001). There was a significant correlation between SUA and Neuropad time to colour change in both groups (group A:rs=0.819,P<0.001; group B:rs=0.774,P<0.001). There was also a significant positive correlation between SUA and CRP in both groups (group A:rs=0.947,P<0.001; group B:rs=0.848,P<0.001). In conclusion, SUA levels were higher in T2DM patients with sudomotor dysfunction than those without this complication. The potential role of SUA in sudomotor dysfunction merits further study.

Obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome are metabolic widespread disorders that arise both under the influence of external factors (physical inactivity, high-calorie diet) and under the influence of internal factors. The latter includes the intestinal microbiota which deserves more and more attention in developing new strategies for the correction of metabolic diseases. The discovery of new approaches for the gut microbiota study (metagenomic, metabolomic) gives a new insight into the diversity and involvement of intestinal bacteria in the metabolic processes of the whole organism. This article are reviewed the mechanisms of the gut bacteria impact on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, the relationship of bacteria species and their metabolites with tissue insulin sensitivity, body mass index. Special attention in the regulation of tissue insulin sensitivity is paid to the role of short-chain fatty acids and secondary bile acids, which are metabolites of gut bacteria. Understanding the influence of human microbiota and its metabolites on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism provides the basis for the development of new approaches to the prevention and treatment of socially significant metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome.

It is well established that genetic factors play an important role in the development of both type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and obesity, and that genetically susceptible subjects can develop these metabolic diseases after being exposed to environmental risk factors. Therefore, great efforts have been made to identify genes associated with DM2 and/or obesity. Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is mainly expressed in brown adipose tissue, and acts in thermogenesis, regulation of energy expenditure, and protection against oxidative stress. All these mechanisms are associated with the pathogenesis of DM2 and obesity. Hence, UCP1 is a candidate gene for the development of these disorders. Indeed, several studies have reported that polymorphisms -3826A/G, -1766A/G and -112A/C in the promoter region, Ala64Thr in exon 2 and Met299Leu in exon 5 of UCP1 gene are possibly associated with obesity and/or DM2. However, results are still controversial in different populations. Thus, the aim of this study was to review the role of UCP1 in the development of these metabolic diseases.

We investigated the role of vitamin D on glycemic regulation and cardiac complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 1139 patients (49.3% males vs 50.7% females) were included. Information on sociodemographic lifestyle, family history, blood pressure (BP), and coronary heart disease (CHD) complications was collected. Significant differences were found between males and females regarding age-groups ( P = .002), body mass index (BMI; P = .008), physical activity ( P = .010), sheesha smoking ( P = .016), cigarette smoking ( P = .002), hypertension ( P = .050), metabolic syndrome ( P = .026), and CHD ( P = .020). There were significant differences between vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency, and sufficiency in relation to age-group ( P = .002), income ( P = .002), waist circumference ( P = .002), hip circumference ( P = .028), waist–hip ratio ( P = .002), and BMI ( P = .002). Further, mean values of hemoglobin, magnesium, creatinine, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol, uric acid, and diastolic BP were significantly higher among patients with vitamin D deficiency compared with those with insufficiency and sufficiency. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that 25-hydroxy vitamin D, 25(OH)D, HbA1c, waist circumference, uric acid, duration of T2DM, total cholesterol, systolic and diastolic BP, and BMI were strong predictor risk factors for CHD among patients with T2DM. The present study supports that 25(OH)D may have a direct effect on CHD and on its risk factors.

У больных ожирением выявлены взаимосвязи основных регуляторов метаболизма (AMPK и SITRT1) в печени с нарушениями со стороны липидного и углеводного обменов. Установлена протекторная роль SIRT1 в подавлении экспрессии транскрипционного фактора NF-kB в печени, способствующего переходу стеатоза в стеатогепатит. In obese patients, interrelations of the main regulators of metabolism (AMPK and SITRT1) in the liver with lipid and carbohydrate metabolism disorders were revealed. The protective role of SIRT1 in suppressing the expression of the transcription factor NF-kB in the liver, which promotes the transition of steatosis to steatohepatitis, has been established.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by relative or absolute deficiency of insulin, resulting in glucose intolerance.Objectives: The present study was planned to see the associations of serum uric acid with positive Rheumatoid factor in type 2 male diabetes mellitus patients. Methodology: This case control study was carried out at the department of Biochemistry at Ibrahim Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The duration of the study was from June 2015 to June 2016 for a period of one year. In this present study, male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were taken as case group and age and sex matched healthy male were taken as control group. Rheumatoid factor was measured from the blood of all case and control group respondents. Others blood para meters were also measured for the correlation with the diabetes mellitus patients.Results: In this present study, 110 male patients presented with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited as case and age and sex matched healthy male were recruited as control. More rheumatoid factor positive in type 2 DM male patients with the uric acid range between 6.5 to 9.5 mg/dL. The number of patients was 5 out of total 9 rheumatoid factor positive cases. In this study serum uric acid was significantly correlated with rheumatoid factor in type 2 male diabetic patients. Rheumatoid factor positive cases were taking insulin among 9 and it was statistically significantly associated (p<0.001). Conclusion: In this study serum uric acid is significantly associated with positive rheumatoid factor in type 2 male diabetic patients.Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2017;4(2):58-62
