The aim of this study was to assess whether the gender-specific pattern of fat mass (FM) distribution is related to gender differences in cardiometabolic risk factors. 207 healthy middle-aged Japanese were included in the study. We measured FM in the total body, trunk, and lower-body with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The percentage of trunk FM (TFM) and lower-body FM (LFM) is noted as %TFM and %LFM, respectively. Other measurements included glucose and insulin during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), leptin, adiponectin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and systemic oxidative stress marker. Arterial properties were indicated by cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery. The results showed that %TFM is higher whereas %LFM is lower in men than in women and men have a more atherogenic cardiometabolic profile. In both genders, %TFM (%LFM) is related to an unfavorable (favorable) cardiometabolic profile. In particular, the relation between %LFM and OGTT-derived insulin sensitivity index is stronger in women than in men. These findings suggested that in relatively healthy adults, android and gynoid pattern of FM distribution contributes to gender differences in cardiometabolic risk factors.

This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the association of basal metabolic rate (BMR) and basal fat and carbohydrate oxidation (BFox and BCHox, respectively) with cardiometabolic risk factors and insulin sensitivity in sedentary middle-aged adults. A total of 71 healthy sedentary adults (37 women) aged 40–65 years participated in the current study. Data were collected during the baseline assessments of the FIT-AGEING randomized controlled trial. BMR was measured via indirect calorimetry, and BFox and BCHox estimated by stoichiometric equations. Blood pressure, glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides plasma levels were selected as cardiometabolic risk factors and assessed following standard procedures. We observed positive associations of BMR with plasma insulin and the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA; all p < 0.05) which were attenuated or disappeared after controlling by sex, age, and/or lean mass. There were positive associations between BFox and the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI; p < 0.015), while negative associations were noted between BFox and plasma insulin and HOMA (p < 0.015). There was a significant negative association between BCHox with QUICKI (p < 0.01), whereas significant positive relationships were obtained when BCHox was associated with plasma insulin and HOMA (p < 0.01). These associations persisted in almost all cases when controlling by sex, age and/or lean mass. No further relationships were found when BMR, BFox, and BCHox were associated with other cardiometabolic risk factors. In conclusion, our study findings support that greater BFox and lower BCHox are related to improved insulin sensitivity, whereas BMR seems to be not associated with neither cardiometabolic risk nor insulin sensitivity in sedentary middle-aged adults. Further intervention studies are necessary to well-understand the physiological mechanism implied in this relationship.

Objective: This study was designed to assess the apolipoprotein B (Apo-B), apolipoprotein A (Apo A) and Apo B/Apo A-I ratio in subjects with and withoutmetabolic syndrome andtoevaluate the correlationofApoB/ApoA-Iratiowithoxidative stressmarker andcardiovasculardisease risk. Methods:Atotal of 308 subjects including one hundred and fty- ve cases and one hundred and fty- three controls were recruited for this study. All the subjects were classied according to the NCEPATP III (National cholesterol education program – Adult treatment panel III) criteria for MetS. Anthropometric and clinical characteristics were recorded using clinical Proforma. Blood samples were collected for doing plasma glucose, Lipid prole analysis [Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL)], ApoA1, Apo B and oxidative stress marker - Malondialdehyde (MDA). Serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and Apo B/Apo A-I ratio were calculated. Comparison of data between the two groups was done by t test. Correlation coefcient of Apo B/ Apo A1 ratio with cadiometabolic risk factors were calculated. Result: We found that cardiometabolic risk factors like abdominal obesity, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, TG, atherogenic lipoproteins LDL, Apo B, Apo B/Apo A-I ratio and MDA were signicantly high in subjects with MetS whereas anti-atherogenic factor Apo A1 was signicantly low. We also observed that Apo B/AI ratio was positively related to cardiometabolic risk factors and with oxidative stress marker. Conclusion:Apo B/AI ratio was related to metabolic syndrome and was found to be a reliable indicator of cardiovascular risk in MetS.
