Serum Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Levels Are Positively Associated with Metabolic Syndrome in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes by Ruo-Yao Gao, Bang-Gee Hsu, Du-An Wu, Jia-Sian Hou, Ming-Chun Chen

“…Univariate linear analysis revealed that hypertension, BMI, WC, body fat mass, SBP, DBP, logarithmically transformed TG (log-TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level, log-glucose, log-creatinine, log-UACR, log-insulin, and log-HOMA-IR positively correlated, whereas HDL-C and eGFR negatively correlated with serum FGF21 levels in T2DM patients. Multivariate forward stepwise linear regression analysis revealed that body fat mass (adjusted R2 change = 0.218; P=0.008) and log-TG (adjusted R2 change = 0.036; P<0.001) positively correlated, whereas eGFR (adjusted R2 change = 0.033; P=0.013) negatively correlated with serum FGF21 levels in T2DM patients. …”

The association between serum albumin levels and metabolic syndrome based on the NHANES and two sample Mendelian randomization study by Yile Tang, Yong Fan, Jin Su, Zisen Yang, Zaoling Liu

“…When the serum albumin levels were used as categorical variables, the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for metabolic syndrome across higher serum albumin levels quartiles were 0.981 (0.842–1.143), 1.290 (1.115–1.492), and 1.244 (1.064–1.454) compared to the lowest quartile, respectively. In the forward MR study, the IVW method revealed that genetic predicted increased levels of serum albumin were positively correlated with metabolic syndrome (OR: 1.149, 95% CI: 1.016–1.299) and its components, including hypertension (OR: 1.130, 95% CI: 1.013–1.260) and triglycerides (OR: 1.343, 95% CI: 1.209–1.492). …”

“…Additionally, neither BSA concentration nor activation in caffeine influenced post-thaw sperm motility characteristics (total motility, forward progressive motility, and velocity). Assessment time of sperm motility varied from 5 to 13 min post-activation and was significantly correlated with each motility measure, with motility and velocity metrics decreasing as time post-activation increased. …”
