Background: Metabolic syndrome is a progressive disorder which includes a wide array of disorders i.e. central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance. In patients with metabolic syndrome there is an increased risk of mortality due to coronary heart disease, stroke, vascular dysfunction etc. Obesity is one of the most crucial epidemics of modern times and hormone leptin plays an important role in regulation of body weight and energy balance.Methods: A total of 355 individuals were selected from the OPD, Department of general medicine at ESIC hospital, Okhla and it comprised of 196 males and 159 females suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus with metabolic syndrome. The data was collected over a year i.e. June 2018 to July 2019. After baseline clinical and anthropometric evaluation, Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS), lipid profile, Insulin (fasting), and leptin levels of the patients were analyzed.Results: Blood sugar fasting, blood sugar post prandial, lipid profile, leptin and insulin levels were increased significantly in female patients as compared to male patients with type 2 diabetic patients and metabolic syndrome.Conclusions: Based on the study results, it was found that leptin correlate significantly with metabolic syndrome and could be used as a biomarker for the early detection of the disease.

Abstract Introduction Sleep disturbances have been associated with metabolic dysregulation and have known to contribute to weight gain, obesity, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease risk. Obesity due to sleep fragmentation is mediated by multiple pathways like upregulation of orexin neurons and changes in appetite-regulating hormones like Leptin, Ghrelin, which affect food intake and hedonic feeding. Conversely, body mass index (BMI) is associated with alterations in sleep and with high circulating lipids and incidence of coronary heart disease. We hypothesized that poor sleep quality is associated with an adverse serum lipid profile. Methods In this cross-sectional study, till date, 27 obese adult participants were recruited after informed consent. The obesity criterion was taken as BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. Anthropometric parameters, waist circumference, neck circumference, hip circumference, and BP were measured. Sleep quality was assessed by the “Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index” (PSQI) questionnaire. A score of 5 or more was considered to be adverse sleep. The fasting blood sugar and lipid profile of each participant was determined. Results The average age, BMI and waist circumference of the subjects were 48.96 ±13.9 years, 32.41± 6.18 kg/m2 and 107.4 ±12.18 cm respectively. The Spearman correlation test revealed a significant correlation between the PSQI scores and triglyceride levels of the participants (p=0.033, r = 0.420). The correlation with BMI (p=0.33, r=0.192), fasting blood sugar (p=0.26, r=0.241), HDL (p=0.27, r = -0.221) and waist circumference (p=0.69, r = -0.082) were not found to be statistically significant. Conclusion We conclude that high triglyceride levels are associated with poor quality of sleep in adults. Although other biochemical parameters did not show a significant correlation, a greater sample size may give us a clear insight into it. Support The study is an intramural project supported by AIIMS, Jodhpur.

Background: By 2025, India due to its immense population size and high diabetes prevalence will contribute about 57 million diabetics. Hence the aim of the present study was clinical presentations of diabetes in children attending the paediatric ward in the medical institute.Methods: Total of 50 cases were included in the study. All the children who were less than age of 18years and also diagnosed with diabetes that is fasting blood sugar >126mg/dl or random blood sugar level > 200 mg/dl were included in the study. A detailed clinical examination of the child was carried out with detailed anthropometric measurements. Metabolic profile was done by investigating for the following. Fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar, glycoslated haemoglobin.Results: The various ranges of fasting blood sugar were as follows: 25% were in the range of 130-200mg/dl, 35% in 200-300 mg/dl, 25% in 300-400mg/dl and 15% had more than 400 mg/dl fasting blood sugar levels. The various ranges of post prandial blood sugar were as follows: 16% were in the range of 200 - 300mg/dl, 40% in 300-400mg/dl, 44% had more than 400 mg/dl post prandial blood sugar levels. In the present study lipid profile of all the children was analysed by their serum cholesterol and triglycerides.Conclusions: A total of 50 diabetic children of age less than 18 years attending medical Hospital were studied using a predesigned and pretested proforma. Information was collected on socio-demographic, dietary intake, treatment and compliance history. Detailed clinical examination done and anthropometric measurements were taken. Metabolic profile was done by investigating for blood sugar levels, glycoslated haemoglobin and lipid profile. In the present study 46% had onset of diabetes mellitus at 15 to 18 years age group with male to female ratio of 1.26:1.

This study was aimed to analyses the serum Hs-CRP level and fasting Blood Sugar level in patients with Hyperlipidemia in a Super Specialty Teaching Hospital in north Kerala. This was a hospital-based prospective observational study which was conducted to study the status of Hs-CRP and Fasting Blood sugar level on lipid profile status of newly diagnosed Hyperlipidemia patients which was compared with Normal Lipid Profile people. Healthy subjects were recruited as a control group and newly Diagnosed Hyperlipidemia patients were recruited as Test group. Study subjects of both gender in an age group of 30 to 70 were selected for the study. Serum Hs CRP, Fasting Blood sugar and serum lipid profile were estimated after overnight fasting condition. After the biochemical estimation, values were entered in an Excel sheet and level of test and control group was statistically analyzed by using Student's t-test using SPSS software. The values were expressed in Mean ± Standard Deviation (SD) and The status of serum Hs CRP, fasting Blood Sugar and Lipid Profile Parameters were shown a statistically significant difference (p<0.01) between Control and Test groups. The result of the study points out that the elevated level serum Hs-CRP and Fasting Blood Sugar can be used as predictive markers of Hyperlipidemia.

Sthaulya is included under eight undesirable conditions (Ashtau Nindita), Shleshma Nanatmaa, Samtarpana Nimittaja, Atinindita, Ati Brihmana Nimittaja, and Bahu Dosha Janita Vikara. Moreover, Sushruta has emphasized on metabolic disturbances (Dhatva agnimandya) in the etiopathogenesis of Sthaulya.  The World Health Organization (WHO) defines BMI between 25 -29.9 is overweight and BMI greater than 30 is obesity. The   present study is a clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of Vidangadi Compound (VC) on Obesity and type II diabetes.  Diagnosed patients were selected from Ayurveda Teaching Hospital at Borella from the period of January 2015 to May 2016. Thirty patients (30) who had BMI between 25 to 45 and fasting blood glucose <200 mg/dl were included in the study. Subjective assessment criteria were the sympoms of obesity with proper grading whereas objective criteria were BMI, body circumferences, skin-fold thickness, Lipid profile and FBS. Data were analyzed by using SPSS statistical software. In this study, Vidangadi Compound (VC) in the form of pill was given 1 g (each pill 500mg) at 8.00 A.M & 6.00 P.M before meal for eight weeks with 5 ml bee honey. VC improved Sphik Chalata,  Anga Gaurava, Anga daurgandaya, Ati- kshudha, Daurbalya, Sewedadikya, Uthsha hani, Gathrasada, Udara Chalata, Sthana Chalata, body circumferences, BMI, Skin Fold Thickness, Fasting Blood Sugar  (from 96.30±1.63 to 92.61±1.58),  Triglyceride (from126.94 ± 8.28 to 115.84 ± 9.02) and HDL(from 46.88 ±1.98 to52.13±1.01) in statistically highly significant manner (p<0.001).  VC is composed of Katu (66.6%), Tikta  (50% ) and Kashaya rasa (83.33%); Laghu  (33.33%),  Ruksha (33.3%), Thiksna (16.66%), Sukshma  (16.6%) and yogavahi guna ( 16.6%); Ushana virya (50%) and Katu vipaka (83.3%).  Collectively, these properties of VC are responsible in improving subjective as well as objective parameters of sthaulya especially Lipid profile and Fasting Blood Sugar significantly.
