Dyslipidemia and inflammatory adipokines in a group of children with altered nutritional status

, , and

ABSTRACT

Background. Obesity associates multiple complications, as consequence of chronic inflammation and insulinresistance, changes induced by adipocytes products.

Aim. Determination of serum-levels of inflammation adipokines in obese children and assessment of their relationship with anthropometric and biochemical parameters.

Methods. prospective study including 110 obese children assessed between 1 October 2010-1 March 2013.We determined the leptin levels, adiponectin, interleukins (IL6-8), looking for their correlations with anthropometric and metabolic parameters.

Results. Leptin was 16.79±1.39ng/ml in obese, higher than in control-group (2.78 ± 0.43 ng/ml), while adiponectin was 14871.07 ± 713.17 ng/ml in controls and 9883.49 ± 562.54 ng/ml in obese, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.0001 for both). IL6 and IL8 were also higher in obese group. There were significant correlations between the adipokines and anthropometric indices. Dyslipidemia was found in 20% of obese, 8.18% with increased LDLCholesterol, 26.36% hypertriglyceridemia and 9.09% low HDL-Cholesterol.

Conclusions. inflammatory adipokines are elevated in obese children, correlated with dyslipidemia, and adiponectin decreases, suggesting that marked adiposity in children also can play a role in the pathogenesis of complications.

DISLIPIDEMIA SI ADIPOKINELE INFLAMATORII LA UN LOT DE COPII CU STATUS NUTRITIONAL MODIFICAT

, , and

REZUMAT

Introducere. Obezitatea prezintă multiple complicaţii, consecinţa inflamaţiei cronice şi insulinorezistenţei, modificări induse de produşii secretaţi de adipocite.

Scop. Determinarea nivelurilor serice a adipokinelor inflamatorii la copiii obezi şi evaluarea relaţiei cu indicii antropometrici şi parametrii biochimici.

Material şi metodă. Studiu prospectiv incluzând 110 copii obezi, între 1 octombrie 2010-1 martie 2013. S-au determinat leptina, adiponectina, interleukinele (IL6-8), căutând corelaţiile acestora cu parametrii antropometrici şi de metabolism.

Rezultate. Leptina a fost 16,79 ±1,39 ng/ml la obezi, mai mare decât la lotul martor (2,78 ± 0,43 ng/ml), iar adiponectina 14871,07 ± 713,17 ng/ml la martor şi 9.883,49 ± 562,54 ng/ml la obezi, cu diferenţe semnificative sta tistic (p < 0,0001 ambele). IL6 şi IL8 au fost, de asemenea, mai mari la lotul de obezi. Au fost corelaţii semnificative între adipokine şi indicii antropometrici. Dislipidemia s-a semnalat la 20% din obezi, 8,18% cu LDL-colesterol crescut, 26,36% hipertrigliceridemie şi 9,09% HDL-colesterol scăzut.

Concluzii. Adipokinele inflamatorii sunt crescute la copiii obezi, corelate cu dislipidemia, iar adiponectina scade, sugerând că adipozitatea marcată poate avea şi la copil rol în patogeneza complicaţiilor.

Descriptive study on the serum levels of inflammatory markers in children with nutritional disorders and clinical syndromes of infection

, , and

REZUMAT

Purpose. To evaluate the serum levels of inflammatory markers in children with alterations in nutritional status and the correlation of these markers with clinical diagnoses of infection.

Methods. We conducted a prospective study on 120 children admitted to the Pediatric Clinic I Tg. Mures. We have followed the nutritional status and the presence or absence of infectious signs, the children being evaluated anthropometrically and by laboratory analysis (suggestive infection markers).

Results. Underweight was found in 28.3% of children, and 24.2% were overweight. Clinically, at least one infectious syndrome has been identified in 31.7% of children, ESR being increased in these children compared to the healthy ones (p=0.034); no differences were observed in the other serological markers. We have found IL-6 and IL-8 values below the detection limit especially in underweight children with diagnosis of infection; significantly higher values of IL-6 and IL-8 were found in overweight children with a diagnosis of associated infection.

Conclusions. Interleukins have significantly lower values in underweight children, even in the context of a possible infection. In order to confirm or infirm an infectious syndrome, the clinical judgment is not enough and the corroboration with complex laboratory data is necessary.

REZUMAT

Scop. Evaluarea nivelurilor serice ale unor markeri infl amatori la copiii cu alterări ale statusului nutriţional şi corelarea acestor markeri cu patologii infecţioase.

Material şi metodă. Am efectuat un studiu prospectiv pe 120 de copii internaţi in Clinica Pediatrie I Tg. Mureş, la care am urmărit statusul nutriţional şi prezenţa sau absenţa unor semne infecţioase, copiii fiind evaluaţi antropometric şi paraclinic prin markeri sugestivi pentru infecţii.

Rezultate. 28% dintre copii au avut deficit ponderal, iar 24% exces ponderal. Clinic s-a identificat cel puţin un sindrom infecţios la 31,7% dintre copii, VSH fiind mărit la aceşti copii comparativ cei clinic sănătoşi (p = 0,034); nu s-au observat diferenţe în acest sens în cazul celorlalţi markeri serologici. S-au observat valori ale IL-6 şi IL-8 scăzute sub limita de detecţie, în special la copiii subponderali cu diagnostic de sindrom infecţios, şi valori crescute ale IL-6 si IL-8 la copiii supraponderali cu diagnostic de sindrom infecţios asociat.

Concluzii. Interleukinele au valori semnificativ scăzute la copiii subponderali, chiar în contextul unei eventuale infecţii. Pentru a confirma sau infirma prezenţa unui sindrom infecţios nu este suficientă aprecierea clinică, ci este necesară coroborarea cu date complexe de laborator
