TL;DR: El tratamiento con atorvastatina en mujeres con sindrome de ovarios poliquisticos induce a significativa modificacion of los parametros de disfuncion lipidica, de interleuquinas (disminucion of IL-6 y TNF-alfa y aumento of the adiponectina) de inflamacion sistemica.

Abstract: De la presente investigacion sobre el estudio de las caracteristicas metabolicas, hormonales e inmunoinflamatorias de mujeres con sindrome de ovarios poliquisticos con o sin obesidad. Analisis del impacto del tratamiento con atorvastatina se concluye que: Las mujeres con sindrome de ovario poliquisticos presentan un estado de hiperlipidemia (aumento de las concentraciones de colesterol, TG y LDL-C), activacion del sistema renina-aldosterona (aumento de las concentraciones de renina y aldosterona y de la actividad de la renina plasmatica), variaciones en la interleuquinas (elevacion de IL-6, TNF-alfa y factor inhibidor de la migracion de macrofagos y disminucion de adiponectina), de los indicadores de inflamacion (aumento de las concentraciones de PCR y procalcitonina) e indicadores de disfuncion endotelial (aumento de las concentraciones de ADMA y homocisteina) En mujeres con sindrome de ovarios poliquisticos, la obesidad se asocia a un peor perfil lipidico (mayores concentraciones de LDL-C y TG), activacion del sistema renina-aldosterona (altas concentraciones de renina y aldosterona), un mayor estado inmunoinflamatorio sistemico (altas concentraciones de IL-6, factor de necrosis tumoral y PCR) y de disfuncion endotelial (altas concentraciones de dimetilarginina asimetica y homocisteina). El tratamiento con atorvastatina en mujeres con sindrome de ovarios poliquisticos con hipercolesterolemia, obesas y no obesas, induce a una significativa modificacion de los parametros de disfuncion lipidica (disminucion de las concentraciones de colesterol, trigliceridos y LdL-C y aumento de las concentraciones de HDL-C), de interleuquinas (disminucion de IL-6 y TNF-alfa y aumento de la adiponectina) de inflamacion sistemica (disminucion de las concentraciones de PCR y procalcitonina) y disfuncion endotelial, disminuye pero no normaliza. El tratamiento con atorvastatina no se asocio a ningun efecto secundario.

Non–HDL Cholesterol, Apolipoproteins A-I and B100, Standard Lipid Measures, Lipid Ratios, and CRP as Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Women
TL;DR: Non-HDL-C and the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL-C were as good as or better than apolipoprotein fractions in the prediction of future cardiovascular events and high-sensitivity CRP added prognostic information beyond that conveyed by all lipid measures.

Beneficial Cardiovascular Pleiotropic Effects of Statins
TL;DR: Pleiotropic effects of statins include improvement of endothelial dysfunction, increased nitric oxide bioavailability, antioxidant properties, inhibition of inflammatory responses, and stabilization of atherosclerotic plaques.

TL;DR: Compared the effects of intravenous low-dose ADMA and placebo on heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac output, and systemic vascular resistance at rest and during exercise, the hypothesis that ADMA is metabolized in humans in vivo by dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) enzymes is tested.

Plasma adiponectin and insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
TL;DR: Hypoadiponectinemia is evident in obese and lean women with PCOS with variable degree of IR; and it is suggested that IR per se or other metabolic abnormalities of PCOS are involved in the regulation of adiponectin concentration in women withPCOS.

TL;DR: Compared with oral HT, non-oral HT appears be safer with respect to atherosclerotic and venous thromboembolic disease risk, and has minor effects on the other cardiovascular risk markers studied.

Elevation of serum soluble tumour necrosis factor receptors in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis.
TL;DR: Examination of serum levels of soluble tumour necrosis factor receptors (sTNF-R) and gene expression of two types of receptor for TNF, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis suggest increased proteolytic cleavage of cell surface T NF-R from PBMC in patients with active-stage PM/DM, and that sTNI-R may regulate TNF-α-mediated muscle fibre damage in PM/

TL;DR: In patients with atherosclerotic disorders, platelet-mediated inflammation appears to be operating in spite of the wide use of platelets-inhibiting drugs, which underscores the need for new therapeutic tools that more specifically target the pathways in platelet -mediated inflammation.

Characterization of cell selectivity of two novel inhibitors of nitric oxide synthesis.
TL;DR: Two novel inhibitors to block cytokine-induced nitric oxide (NO) synthesis by macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells, as well as NO production by the constitutive enzyme in central nervous system tissue are assessed.

Angiotensin II Affects Basal, Pulsatile, and Glucose-Stimulated Insulin Secretion in Humans
TL;DR: Angiotensin II affects both the basal (nonpulsatile) and the pulsatile component of spontaneous insulin secretion and the glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in humans, and this effect was highly significant ( P <.01).
