In recent years, epidemiological studies have suggested that metabolic disorders are nutritionally dependent. A healthy diet that is rich in polyphenols may be beneficial in the treatment of metabolic diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and, in particular, atherosclerosis. Curcumin is a polyphenol found in turmeric and has been reported to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-atherosclerotic, and antidiabetic properties, among others. This review summarizes the influence of supplementation with curcumin on metabolic parameters in selected metabolic disorders.

Background The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women at childbearing age. Metabolic syndrome is present from 28% to 46% of patients with PCOS. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the hepatic expression of metabolic syndrome. There are few published studies that correlate PCOS and NAFLD. Objective To determine the prevalence of NAFLD and metabolic syndrome in patients with PCOS, and to verify if there is a correlation between NAFLD and metabolic syndrome in this population. Methods Study developed at Gynecology Department of Clinical Hospital of Federal University of Parana (UFPR). The sessions were conducted from April 2008 to January 2009. One hundred and thirty-one patients joined the analysis; 101 were diagnosed with PCOS and 30 formed the control group. We subdivided the PCOS patients into two subgroups: PCOS+NAFLD and PCOS. All the patients were submitted to hepatic sonography. For hepatoestheatosis screening, hepatic ecotexture was compared do spleen’s. For diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, we adopted the National Cholesterol Education Program/Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP/ATP III) criteria, as well as the criteria proposed by International Diabetes Federation. Statistical analysis were performed with t of student and U of Mann-Whitney test for means and chi square for proportions. Results At PCOS group, NAFLD was present in 23.8% of the population. At control group, it represented 3.3%, with statistical significance (P=0.01). Metabolic syndrome, by NCEP/ATP III criteria, was diagnosed in 32.7% of the women with PCOS and in 26.6% of the women at control group (no statistical difference, P=0.5). At PCOS+DHGNA subgroup, age, weight, BMI, abdominal circumference and glucose tolerance test results were higher when compared to PCOS group (P<0.01). Metabolic syndrome by NCEP/ATPIII criteria was present in 75% and by International Diabetes Federation criteria in 95.8% of women with PCOS+NAFLD with P<0.01. Insulin levels at SOP+DHGNA were higher than at PCOS group with P<0.01. Conclusion Almost 25% of the patients with PCOS were diagnosed for NAFLD. Metabolic syndrome was present between 32.7% and 44.6% of patients with PCOS. At subgroup PCOS+NAFLD, metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent. These patients are more obese, with higher BMI and higher glucose levels.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) went beyond the competence of a gastroenterologist and acquired the character of a multidisciplinary problem. NAFLD requires the attention of many professionals. A characteristic feature of NAFLD is the variety of concomitant diseases and pathological conditions with common pathophysiological mechanisms. This review summarizes and presents the data available in the modern literature on the association of NAFLD with cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome, chronic kidney disease, colorectal cancer, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoporosis, psoriasis.

Abstract Purpose Many studies show correlation between polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),but the underlying pathogenic genes are not clear. This study by using the bioinformatics method aims to search the key genes involved in these 2 diseases. Methods The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets coming from the GEO database GSE63067 -NAFLD patients and healthy controls, and GSE34526 -PCOS patients and normal controls, are downloaded. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of 2 diseases datasets and the common genes are obtained. After GO and KEGG enrichment analyses of common genes are performed. To find the key genes between NAFLD and PCOS, a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network is carried out. In addition, the diagnostic value of key genes in PCOS is analyzed. Results According to NAFLD and PCOS downloaded datasets,34 common genes,21 key genes,15 GO terms and 4 KEGG pathways are obtained. Further,based on the top 6 key genes,the corresponding area under the curve (AUC) by constructing ROC curves in the PCOS is 0.909 (95% CI, 0.775–1.000). Conclusions The study identify some key genes in the occurrence and progression between NAFLD and PCOS. In the future,to verify our results,it need experimental and clinical research.
