Metabolic syndrome (MetS) forms a cluster of metabolic dysregulations including insulin
resistance, atherogenic dyslipidemia, central obesity, and hypertension. The pathogenesis …

Osteoporosis is characterized by a decline in bone mineral density (BMD) and increased
fracture risk. Free radicals and antioxidant systems play a central role in bone remodeling …

Insulin resistance (IR) is a well-established risk factor for metabolic disease. The ratio of
triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG: HDL-C) is a surrogate marker of IR …

Abstract Background: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a description of a clustering of
cardiometabolic risk factors in the same individual. Previous genome-wide association …

Background To investigate the ability of body shape index (ABSI), body roundness index
(BRI), waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to …

Objective: Carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a widely accepted marker of
subclinical atherosclerosis. Twenty susceptibility loci for cIMT were previously identified and …

Background The causal effects of moderate alcohol consumption on cardiovascular
diseases (CVDs) are continuously debated, especially on coronary artery disease (CAD) …

Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of multiple cardiometabolic risk
factors that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Identifying …

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) provides a comprehensive view of the genome, enabling
detection of coding and non-coding genetic variation, and surveying complex regions which …

Objective Gamma-glutamyl dipeptides are bioactive peptides involved in inflammation,
oxidative stress, and glucose regulation. Gamma-glutamyl-leucine (Gamma-Glu-Leu) has …
