Postheparin plasma lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) activities were measured in 30 male primary gout patients as well as in control subjects. The activities of these lipolytic enzymes were significantly decreased in the patients as compared with the controls (gout v
BACKGROUND
Gout results from an innate immune response to monosodium urate (MSU) crystals deposited in joints. Increased very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) has been associated with gout. The apolipoprotein B (apo B), which is present on VLDL, regulates neutrophil response to MSU crystals and has
Comparing a group of gouty patients with age and sex matched group of patients in a general medical ward without history of arthritis, we failed to confirm and increase in the absolute or relative basophil count. Total white cell count and packed cell volume were similar in both groups of patients.
The relationship between uric acid metabolism and lipid levels was analyzed in 148 male subjects with primary gout. The subjects were divided into three groups according to their alcohol consumption: heavy drinkers, moderate drinkers, and nondrinkers or mild drinkers. There was no correlation
OBJECTIVE
Gout and hyperuricaemia are recognised features of the metabolic syndrome. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of gout in patients with diabetes.
METHODS
We studied 292 consecutive outpatients attending diabetes clinics between August and September 2005. A
Using logistic regression analysis, we investigated whether or not excessive alcohol intake and increased BMI, both of which are known causes of lipid metabolism abnormality, are associated with increased serum triglyceride, apolipoprotein B concentrations and decreased high-density lipoprotein
An epidemiologic study to determine lipids and biochemical traits was performed in central Taiwan aborigines with and without gout and in the local Han Chinese. The lipid profile included measurement of serum triglyceride, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density
The behaviour of gamma-GT, an enzyme whose activity is related with alcohol intake, was studied in three groups of patients with primary gout, divided on the basis of alcohol intake. Poor drinkers (A) and good drinkers (B) do not show significant differences in the serum levels of gamma-GT, uric
OBJECTIVE
Primary gout has traditionally been associated with obesity, arterial hypertension, and abnormal lipid and glucose homeostasis, but we do not know the prevalence of these vascular risk factors in patients with primary gout from a Mediterranean country.
METHODS
All patients with primary
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence rates and risk factors of hyperuricemia (HUA) and gout among residents aged over 20 years in Foshan areas.
METHODS
A randomly stratified cluster sampling was conducted, and 7403 inhabitants were investigated on their prevalence rates of HUA and gout.
RESULTS
(1)
The aims of this cross-sectional study were to compare metabolic parameters in people with gout and diabetes with gout only and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) only. Fifty General Practices in NHS Ayrshire and Arran (population 340 377) contributed data. The sample was split into three groups, those
