Objective To investigate the relationship of serum adiponectin (APN) with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and carotid athcrosclerosis (AS),and to observe the change of serum adiponectin levels in patients with hypertension and obesity.Methods Patients with essential hypertension (50 cases) were divided into simple hypertension group (23 cases) and hypertension with obesity group(27 cases),and 45 normotensives were divided into control group (24 cases) and simple obesity group (21 cases).The levels of serum adiponectin were determined by enzyme immunoassay.Common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT),carotid artery diameter (CADIA) and left ventricular relevant index were measured by color doppler ultrasonography,and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was calculated.Results In control group,simple obesity group,simple hypertension group and hypertension with obesity group,serum APN levels were decreased by turn,CADIA reduced gradually,LVMI values were increased by turn,CCA-IMT values were increased gradually (F=28.34,10.26,36.52,14.73,all P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed that serum APN levels were significantly negatively correlated with LVMI and CCA-IMT(r=-0.870,-0.710,both P<0.01),and were positively related with CADIA (r=0.742,P<0.00).APN,SBP and BMI were the main influencing factors on left ventricular hypertrophy (β =-0.909,0.126,-0.053).Conclusions The presence of both hypertension and obesity may play a synergistic role in accelerating the process of left ventricular hypertrophy and atherosclerosis.Lower APN levels and/or rising BMI may accelerate occurrence and development of LVH and AS in aged patients with hypertension and obesity.

Enhanced monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells is an early event in atherogenesis. It has been shown that C-reactive protein (CRP) plays a key role in atherogenesis. Here, we investigated the effects of CRP on monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and tested the hypothesis that NADPH oxidase (NOX)-mediated oxidative stress might play a key role in CRP-induced monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion. Firstly, 36 patients with carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) incrassation and 34 controls were enrolled in this study. The levels of glucose, lipids, CRP, monocyte chemotractant protein (MCP-1), malondialdehyde (MDA), and protein carbonylation were analyzed. The results showed that carotid IMT was associated with abnormal lipid metabolism, including elevated CRP, triglycerides (TG) (P<0.01) and decreased high density lipoprotein (HDL) level (P<0.05). The levels of CRP and MCP-1 in patients with carotid IMT incrassation were increased compared with the controls (P<0.01). Moreover, patients with carotid IMT incrassation displayed enhanced MDA and protein carbonylation levels (P<0.01), accompanied by activation and up-regulation of NOX in monocytes (P<0.05) compared with the controls. The monocytes isolated from five healthy donors were used for in vitro experiments. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and NOX expression in monocytes were examined. The results also indicated that CRP could promote the adhesion of monocyte-endothelial cell by up-regulation of MCP-1 expression (P<0.05). Importantly, NF? B and p38 MAPK signaling pathways, which were activated by NOX-derived ROS, were involved in CRP-induced monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and up-regulation of MCP-1 expression. These data suggested that CRP could promote the adhesion of monocytes to endothelial cells via NOX-mediated oxidative stress. J. Cell. Biochem. 113: 857867, 2012. (C) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
