Highlights in Nursing
RBP4 is weakly associated with subclinical atherosclerosis
As published in Cardiovascular Diabetology, an elevated retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) level was shown to be associated hypertriglyceridemia and coronary artery calcification, but not other cardiometabolic risk factors, such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, elevated CRP, and increased CIMT. The study involved 709 postmenopausal women from the Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS).
Read the article summaryn-3 PUFAs are renoprotective in diabetics
As published in Diabetes Care, n-3 PUFA supplementation (4 g/d x 6 w) in patients with diabetes (n=29) resulted in decreased urine NGAL excretion; there was no effect on urine albumin excretion, serum markers of kidney function, and eGFR. In patients taking RAAS blockers, n-3 PUFA supplementation decreased albumin excretion, NGAL, LFABP, and NAG.

Researchers at the University of Sydney have reported that the highest vs. lowest quartile of homocysteine (HR=2.45) and folate deficiency (HR=1.53), but not vitamin B12 levels, predict CHD mortality. Further hyperhomocysteinaemia (> 15 µmol/L) was reported to be associated with all-cause mortality (HR=1.47).
