RESUMO

El hirsutismo en una endocrinopatía frecuente en mujeres en edad reproductiva, caracterizada por un crecimiento excesivo del vello corporal en áreas dependientes de andrógenos, con diferentes grados de severidad y percepción subjetiva. Clínicamente el hirsutismo es un reflejo de la concentración local y circulante de androgénos y de la sensibilidad de la unidad pilo-sebácea a los mismos. Esta revisión se enfocará en la fisiopatología, etiología, diagnóstico diferencial y tratamiento del hirsutismo.


Hirsutism is a common endocrinopathy among women of reproductive age characterized by the excessive growth of body hair in androgen-dependent areas with different grades of severity and subjective perception. Hirsutism is an expression of circulating and local androgen concentrations and the sensitivity of the pilosebaseous unit to androgens. This review will focus on the pathophysiology, etiology, differential diagnosis and treatment of hirsutism.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Evaluar la interrelación de índices de resistencia y sensibilidad a la insulina con variables antropométricas y metabólicas de mujeres del tercer trimestre de embarazo y RN a término. Métodos: Este estudio transversal evaluó 52 mujeres sanas en el tercer trimestre del embarazo y 52 reciénnacidos (RN) a término. Se evaluaron peso corporal pregestacional y ganancia durante el embarazo (Δpeso). Se estimó el peso fetal (PFE), circunferencia abdominal fetal (CAF) y grosor placentario por ultrasonido. Se registró peso, talla y circunferencia abdominal (CA) del RN y peso placentario. Se realizó lipidograma, glucosa e insulina en ayunas en el suero de la madre y cordón umbilical. Se calcularon los índices lipídicos y de resistencia y sensibilidad a la insulina. Resultados: El Δpeso materno se correlacionó positivamente con PFE y peso del RN (r=0,32, p<0,02; r=0,32, p<0,05). El HOMA-R del RN se relacionó positivamente con CT (r=0,46; p<0,01) y TG (r=0,52; p<0,0001). El índice TG/C-HDL del RN se correlacionó positivamente con índices HOMA-R y TG/C-HDLmat (r=0,31, p=0,03; r=0,35, p=0,01). El peso pregestacional, materno final, placentario y TG maternos fueron significativamente más altos en los RN de mayor peso. Los índices TG/C-HDLmat y HOMA-Rmat se relacionaron inversamente con los índices QUICKImat y HOMA-Smat (p<0,01). Conclusiones: La cuantificación de los índices TG/C-HDL, HOMA-R, HOMA-S y QUICKI en el tercer trimestre del embarazo, puede tener utilidad potencial para identificar mujeres con riesgo alto para desarrollar complicaciones metabólicas en el embarazo.


Objective: To evaluate the relationship between insulin resistance and sensibility indexes with anthropometrics and metabolic parameters in third trimester of pregnant women and normal term newborns. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 52 normal pregnant women in third trimester and 52 term born were assessed. Pre-gestational body weight, blood pressure and pregnancy weight gain (Δ-weight) were registered. Estimated fetal weight (EFW) and abdominal circumference (AFC) and placental gross were evaluated by ultrasound. Placental and newborn body weight, height and abdominal circumference were registered. Serum lipids, glucose and insulin concentrations were measured in fasting women and cord blood. Placental weight was registered. Lipids and insulin resistance and sensibility indexes were calculated. Results: Δ-weight was significant and positively correlated with EFW and newborn body weight (r=0,32, p<0,02; r=0,32; p<0,05). Newborn HOMA-R was positively correlated with total cholesterol (TC) (r=0,46; p<0,01) and triglycerides serum concentration (r=0,52; p<0,0001). TG/C-HDL index was positively correlated with HOMA-R and maternal TG/C-HDL(r=0,31, p=0,03; r=0,35, p=0,01). Pre-gestational weight, term weight, placental and serum maternal triglycerides were significantly higher in newborns with higher body weight group. Maternal TG/C-HDL and HOMA-R were negatively related with maternal QUICKI and HOMA-S (p<0,01). Conclusions: The quantification of TG/C-HDL, HOMA-R, HOMA-S QUICKI indexes in pregnant women during third trimester could be potentially useful to identify pregnant women at high risk of developing metabolic complications during pregnancy.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Determinar la interrelación entre el índice triglicéridos/colesterol de la lipoproteína de alta densidad (TG/cHDL) y los índices HOMA homeostasis model assessment (HOMA IR) y QUICKI (Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Index) y antropometría fetal, en mujeres embarazadas sanas. Métodos: Este estudio transversal evaluó 91 mujeres embarazadas sanas en edad de 18-41 años; de acuerdo a la edad gestacional se categorizaron en 3 grupos: primer trimestre (TI, n= 29); segundo trimestre (TII, n=32) y tercer trimestre (TIII, n =30). Se realizó una prueba de tolerancia a la glucosa oral (75g). Se cuantificaron glucosa, insulina, triglicéridos (TG), colesterol total (CT) y colesterol de alta densidad (cHDL). Se calculó el colesterol no-HDL y los índices TG/cHDL, HOMA IR y QUICKI. Se registró el peso del recién nacido y la altura uterina (AU); por ultrasonido se determinaron la circunferencia abdominal fetal (CAF) y el peso estimado fetal (PEF). Resultados: La concentración plasmática de TG, colesterol, cLDL, colesterol no-HDL, e índices TG/cHDL, HOMA IR y QUICKI fueron significativamente más altos en el segundo y tercer trimestre respecto al primer trimestre. En el total de la muestra, tanto el índice TG/cHDL como el colesterol no-HDL mostraron una correlación positiva con el IMC pre-gestacional (r = 0.30, p<0,01; r = 0,26. P<0,05 respectivamente), CAF (r=0,38, p<0,05; r = 0,50, p<0,01 respectivamente), PEF (r = 0,39, p<0,01; r = 0,50, p<0,01 respectivamente) y AU (r= 0,485, p<0,001). Conclusión: Se confirma la dislipidemia del embarazo y se demuestra que el aumento en el índice TG/cHDL y del colesterol no-HDL está relacionado con el peso pre gestacional y la antropometría fetal.


Objective: to determine the relationship between triglycerides/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDLc) index and indexes HOMAIR (Homeostasis Model assessment) y QUICKI (Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index) and fetal anthropometrics in healthy pregnant women. Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated 91 healthy pregnant women aged 16-41 yr, categorized by gestational age: first trimester (TI, n = 29); second trimester (TII, n = 32); third trimester (TIII, n = 30). Oral glucose tolerance test (75g) was performed. Plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and HDLc were measured. Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc), no-HDLc, TG/HDLc index, HOMA IR and QUICKI were calculated. Fetal abdominal circumference (FAC) and estimated fetal body weight (EFBW) were evaluated by abdominal ultrasound; uterine height (UH), blood pressure and birth weight were registered. Results: Mean plasma TG, total cholesterol, LDLc, no-HDLc and TG/HDLc, HOMA IR and QUICKI indexes were significantly higher in TII and TIII compared to TI. In all women analysis, both TG/HDLc and no-HDLc showed a significant correlation with pregestational body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.30, p<0,01; r = 0,26, p<0,05 respectively), FAC (r= 0,38, p<0,05; r = 0,50,, p<0,01 respectively), EFBW (r = 0,39, p<0,01; r = 0,50, p<0,05 respectively) and UH (r= 0,485, p<0,001). Conclusions: our results confirm dislipidemia in pregnancy; the increased values of TG/HDLc and no-HDLc, are related with pre-gestational BMI and fetal anthropometrics.

RESUMO

Objetivo: evaluar el efecto de la combinación fija de vildagliptina o sitagliptina con metformina sobre la lipemia postprandial (PP) en pacientes con diabetes tipo 2 (DM2) previamente tratados solo con metformina. Métodos: cincuenta y siete pacientes con DM2 tratados con metformina y dieta, con valores de HbA1c entre 6,5-8,5% participaron en estudio aleatorizado, doble ciego de 8 semanas. Los participantes recibieron una carga oral de grasa antes y después de 8 semanas de la administración aleatorizada de combinación fija vildagliptina/metformina(grupo 1; n=29) o sitagliptina/metformina (grupo2; n = 28). Muestras de sangre se tomaron basalmente y a intervalos de 2 horas durante 8 horas después de la ingestión de la carga grasa. Resultados: la respuesta PP integrada de triglicéridos (AUC-TG) disminuyó en el 76% de los pacientes del grupo 1 y en el 64% del grupo 2. El perfil lipídico en ayunas no mostró cambios significativos post tratamiento. La glucosa en ayunas y 2h PP y la HbA1c disminuyeron significativamente en ambos grupos (p<0,01) acompañado de una disminución del IMC y la presión arterial (p<0,01). No se observaron efectos adversos. Conclusiones: además de mejorar el control glucémico, el tratamiento con combinación fija de vildagliptina/metformina o sitagliptina/metformina tiene un efecto beneficioso similar sobre la lipemia PP, lo cual es importante para mejorar el riesgo cardiometabólico de los pacientes con DM2.


Objective: to assess the effect of fixed combination of vildagiptin/metformin and sitagliptina/ metformin on postprandiallipemia (PP) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Methods: fifty-seven patients with DM2 previously treated with metformin and diet and HbA1c between 6,5-8,5% participated in a 8 weeks randomized, double blind study. An oral fat load was performed at baseline and 8 weeks after treatment with fixed combination of vildagliptin/metformin (grupo 1; n=29) or sitagliptin/metformin (group 2; n=28) twice a day. Blood samples were taken at baseline and at 2 hours interval during 8 hours after oral fat load. Results: integrated postprandial triglyceride response (AUC-TG) decreased in 76% of patients of group 1 and 64% of group 2. Fasting lipoprotein profile did not show significant changes post treatment. Both fasting and 2h postprandial glucose and HbA1c showed a significant decrease in both groups, in association with a decrease of body mass index and blood pressure (p<0,001). No adverse effects were observed. Conclusions: besides improving glucose control, fixed combination of vildagliptin/metformina or sitagliptina/metformin treatment has a beneficial effect postprandial lipemia which is important to improve the cardiometabolic risk of type 2 patients.

RESUMO

Objetivos: evaluar la prevalencia del síndrome metabólico (SM) en una muestra representativa de la población urbana de Mucuchíes, Estado Mérida. Métodos: Se estudiaron 109 sujetos mestizos, de ambos sexos, con edad entre 20 y 65 años. La prevalencia de SM fue definida de acuerdo a los criterios del National Cholesterol Education Program (NECP)/Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) y de la International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Resultados: la prevalencia del SM fue del 38% y 43% según los criterios ATP III e IDF respectivamente. El 80% de la población mostró anormalidad en el peso corporal y más del 50% tenía valores anormales de la circunferencia abdominal (CA). La dislipidemia fue muy frecuente, con una alta frecuencia de hipertrigliceridemia (56%) y valores bajos de cHDL (76%). La hipertensión arterial fue significativamente más alta (p<0,05) en los hombres y la glucosa alterada en ayunas sólo se observó en el 6% de la población sin variaciones significativas entre el sexo. La frecuencia del SM fue del 24% en los individuos con normopeso y aumentó significativamente en función del IMC, con una frecuencia máxima de 73% en los sujetos obesos. La circunferencia abdominal, la presión arterial sistólica y el índice TG/c-HDL fueron los factores de riesgo que se asociaron mas fuertemente con el diagnóstico de SM. Conclusiones: La prevalencia del SM en la población urbana de Mucuchíes-Venezuela, es de 38% y 43%, según criterios NCEP-ATPIII e IDF respectivamente. El patrón de SM predominante se caracterizó por dislipidemia, obesidad visceral y baja frecuencia de glucosa en ayunas alterada.


Objective: to estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in the urban population of Mucuchíes, Estado Mérida, Venezuela. Methods: a representative sample of 109 Hispanic men and women subjects, aged 20-65 yr was studied. MS was defined according to National Cholesterol Education Program (NECP)/Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. Results: the prevalence of MS was 38% and 43% according to ATPIII and IDF criteria respectively. Eighty percent of population had abnormal body mass index and more than 50% showed abnormal waist circumference (WC). Dyslipidemia showed a high frequency of hypertriglyceridemia (56%) and low levels of HDL-C (76%). Hypertension was significantly higher in men (p<0,05). Impaired fasting glucose was observed in 6% of population, no significant difference related to gender was observed. Metabolic syndrome frequency in nonobese subjects was 24% and increased significantly as a function of body mass index showing a maximal frequency of 73% in obese subjects. Waist circumference, systolic blood pressure and triglyceride/HDL-C ratio were the main risk factors related with MS diagnosis. Conclusions: the prevalence of MS in the urban population of Mucuchíes, Estado Mérida, Venezuela is 38% y 43% according to NCEP-ATPIII and IDF criteria respectively. The predominant pattern of MS was characterized by dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity and a low frequency of impaired fasting glucose.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between the triglyceride/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-c) ratio, insulin resistance index and cardiometabolic risk factors in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PATIENTS AND METHOD: The present crosssectional study analyzed 62 women with PCOS and 48 healthy women (control group) aged 17- 35 years old. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and blood pressure were registered. Plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin, triglycerides, total cholesterol and HDL-c were measured. TheTG/HDL-c ratio, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA(IR)) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) were calculated. RESULTS: Women with PCOS showed significantly higher values of the TG/HDL-c ratio and HOMA(IR), and a significantly lower QUICKI value. These differences were related to BMI and WC, with the highest values being observed in obese patients. The 50th percentile for the TG/HDL-c ratio was 3.64; the TG/cHDL ratio was positively correlated with BMI, WC and HOMA(IR) (r=0.48, p<0.001; r=0.58, p<0.001; r=0.43, p<0.001 respectively) and was negatively correlated with the QUICKI (r=-0.51; p<0.001). Women with PCOS showed a higher frequency of fasting glucose > 100 mg/dl (10% vs 3%; p<0.05), triglycerides>150 mg/dl (55% vs 20%; p<0.05) and WC>80 cm (82.3% vs 43.8%; p<0.001). Metabolic syndrome was also more frequent in women with PCOS than in controls (31% vs 10%). The independent variable with the strongest influence on TG/HDL-c was WC (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This cross-sectional study demonstrates that women with PCOS show significantly higher values of the TG/HDL-c ratio, which is closely related to WC and insulin resistance and sensitivity indexes (HOMA(IR), QUICKI). The TG/HDL-c ratio could be considered as a useful and practical method to identify an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with PCOS.

RESUMO

La enfermedad cardiovascular (ECV) es la principal causa de muerte en las mujeres; su impacto sobre la salud no está relacionado solo a la mortalidad. Un porcentaje importante de mujeres sobreviven a la ECV gracias a los avances científicos técnicos y terapéuticos y estos determinan un aumento de la supervivencia y expectativa de vida y con ello, mayores costos de salud; es por lo tanto necesario implantar estrategias de prevención y tratamiento de los factores de riesgo de esta enfermedad. S in embargo, existen diferencias importantes de género en la presentación y evolución de la ECV, lo cual justifica la formulación de guías específicas para mujeres por parte de la Asociación Americana del Corazón (American Heart Association), que facilitarán la identificación y estratificación precoz de los factores de riesgo de las mujeres y las estrategias terapéuticas. Esta revisión se enfoca sobre los principales factores de riesgo en la mujer postmenopáusica, las características de la enfermedad arterial coronaria en la mujer y las estrategias de prevención cardiovascular.


Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women. Its impact on health is not only related to mortality rate because there are a number of women surviving from this disease due to scientific and technical advances in diagnostic procedures and treatment leading to a higher life expectative and high health costs. For this reason is important to implement prevention strategies for diagnosis and treatment of the main cardiovascular risk factors. It is well known that cardiovascular disease has gender differences in presentation, evolution and prognosis that justified the formulation of specific guidelines for women by the American Heart Association which will make easier the early identification and stratification of women at cardiovascular risk according to the main risk factors and the implementation of specific therapeutic intervention. This review will be focus on the main cardiovascular risk factors in post menopausal women and will describe the characteristics findings of coronary heart disease in women and, the prevention strategies of cardiovascular disease.
