It has been shown that metabolic syndrome is associated with lower levels of plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) in the general population. However, there is no study about the association between Nt-proBNP and metabolic syndrome in hypertensive patients.
: To elucidate the relationship between Nt-proBNP and components of metabolic syndrome in hypertensive patients.
Fasting blood samples were obtained from 74 hypertensive patients in our institution. Plasma levels of Nt-proBNP and other biochemical data were measured. Metabolic syndrome and its components were defined using diagnostic criteria from the International Diabetes Federation.
Forty-four hypertensive patients met the criteria for metabolic syndrome. We found that plasma Nt-proBNP levels were lower in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome attributable to inverse relationships between Nt-proBNP and albumin, triglyceride, insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and pancreatic β-cell function (HOMA-β). We further performed a multivariable linear regression analysis. The result showed that HOMA-IR is the independent predictor of plasma Nt-proBNP levels in hypertensive patients.
Plasma Nt-proBNP levels are inversely associated with metabolic syndrome in hypertensive patients. HOMA-IR is the independent predictor of Nt-proBNP in hypertensive patients.
在一般人群中,代谢综合征与较低水平的血浆 N 末端脑利钠肽前体(Nt-proBNP)有关。然而,在高血压患者中,关于 Nt-proBNP 与代谢综合征之间的关系还没有研究。
阐明高血压患者 Nt-proBNP 与代谢综合征各组分之间的关系。
从我院 74 例高血压患者中抽取空腹血样。测定血浆 Nt-proBNP 及其他生化数据。采用国际糖尿病联合会的诊断标准定义代谢综合征及其各组分。
44 例高血压患者符合代谢综合征标准。我们发现,代谢综合征高血压患者的血浆 Nt-proBNP 水平较低,这与 Nt-proBNP 与白蛋白、甘油三酯、胰岛素、胰岛素抵抗评估的稳态模型(HOMA-IR)和胰岛β细胞功能(HOMA-β)呈负相关有关。我们进一步进行了多元线性回归分析。结果表明,HOMA-IR 是高血压患者血浆 Nt-proBNP 水平的独立预测因子。
高血压患者的血浆 Nt-proBNP 水平与代谢综合征呈负相关。HOMA-IR 是高血压患者 Nt-proBNP 的独立预测因子。
