    Abstract Background: The major cause of death for hemodialysis (HD) patients was cardiovascular morbidity; it was closely related to oxidative stress (OS).
    Aim: Firstly, to evaluate lipid peroxidation biomarkers on HD patients through measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) and conjugated dienes (CD), and secondly, to follow these parameters after three years undergoing HD.
    Methods: One hundred patients with end stage renal diseases receiving regular hemodialysis and 100 healthy volunteers were included in this study. Routine chemical data, lipid profile and levels of MDA and CD were measured.
    Results: The plasmatic and erythrocyte MDA levels were significantly increased in the HD patients compared to healthy subjects (p <0.001). However, an increased level on erythrocyte CD was only observed between the two study groups (p<0.001). After 3 years, a significant increased level of lipid peroxidation biomarkers was observed.
    Conclusion: The disturbance in lipid peroxidation state in HD patients was observed. At three years follow-up, oxidative stress is more pronounced with a significant increase in MDA and CD.

    Abstract Background: The contribution of methylglyoxal (MGO) and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) in the presence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is still unknown. We investigated whether serum MGO and sRAGE were related to the presence of disease activity in RA.
    Methods: 80 patients with RA and 30 control subjects were included in a cross-sectional study. The severity of RA was assessed using the disease activity score for 28 joints (DAS28). Serum MGO and sRAGE were measured by ELISA.
    Results: Serum MGO levels were significantly higher in patients with RA versus control subjects (
    Conclusion: Serum MGO and sRAGE levels are inversely related to the activity of RA, and MGO is independently associated with a higher disease activity of RA.

    Abstract A large body of evidence demonstrates a relationship between hyperglycemia and increased concentrations of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). However, there is little information about subcutaneous AGE accumulation in subjects with prediabetes, and whether or not this measurement could assist in the diagnosis of prediabetes is unclear. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 4181 middle-aged subjects without diabetes. Prediabetes (n = 1444) was defined as a glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level between 39 and 47 mmol/mol (5.7 to 6.4%), and skin autofluorescence (SAF) measurement was performed to assess AGEs. A multivariable logistic regression model and receiver operating characteristic curve were used. The cohort consisted of 50.1% women with an age of 57 [52;62] years, a BMI of 28.3 [25.4;31.6] kg/m2, and a prevalence of prediabetes of 34.5%. Participants with prediabetes showed higher SAF than control participants (2.0 [1.7;2.2] vs. 1.9 [1.7;2.2], p < 0.001). However, HbA1c was not significantly correlated with SAF levels (r = 0.026, p = 0.090). In addition, the SAF level was not independently associated with prediabetes (OR = 1.12 (0.96 to 1.30)). Finally, there was no good cutoff point for SAF to identify patients with prediabetes (AUC = 0.52 (0.50 to 0.54), sensitivity = 0.61, and 1-specificity = 0.56). Given all of this evidence, we can conclude that although there is an increase in SAF levels in participants with prediabetes, the applicability and clinical relevance of the results is low in this population.

    Abstract Background. The contribution of methylglyoxal (MGO) and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) in the presence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is still unknown. We investigated whether serum MGO and sRAGE were related to the presence of disease activity in RA. Methods. 80 patients with RA and 30 control subjects were included in a cross-sectional study. The severity of RA was assessed using the disease activity score for 28 joints (DAS28). Serum MGO and sRAGE were measured by ELISA. Results. Serum MGO levels were significantly higher in patients with RA versus control subjects (P<0.001) and were increased in RA patients with higher disease activity versus RA patients with moderate disease activity (P=0.019). Serum sRAGE concentrations were significantly decreased in RA patients with higher disease activity versus RA patients with moderate disease activity and versus control subjects (P=0.004; P=0.002, resp.). A multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that MGO was independently associated with the presence of activity disease in RA (OR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.02–1.31, P=0.01). Conclusion. Serum MGO and sRAGE levels are inversely related to the activity of RA, and MGO is independently associated with a higher disease activity of RA.

    Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is considered one of the most important public health problems. Several and controversial studies showed that the role of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their receptor in the development of metabolic syndrome and therapeutic pathways is still unsolved. We have investigated whether plasma pentosidine, carboxymethyl-lysine (CML), and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) levels were increased in patients with MetS and the effect of metformin in plasma levels of pentosidine, CML, and sRAGE. 80 control subjects and 86 patients were included in this study. Pentosidine, CML, and sRAGE were measured in plasma by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Plasma pentosidine, CML, and sRAGE levels were significantly increased in patients compared to control subjects (

    Abstract Background: Carbamylation is a non-enzymatic post-translational modification of proteins that has been recently identified as a non-traditional risk factor for atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to determine whether serum homocitrulline (HCit), a characteristic carbamylation-derived product, was related to the presence and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).
    Methods: Forty-five control subjects and 109 patients were included in this cross-sectional study. After coronary angiography, the patients were classified as non-CAD patients (patients with normal arteries, n=33) and CAD patients (n=76). The severity of CAD was then evaluated using the Gensini scoring system. Serum total HCit concentrations were determined by LC-MS/MS.
    Results: Serum HCit concentrations were significantly (p<0.001) higher in CAD patients than in control or non-CAD subjects. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed an area under the curve equal to 0.908 (95% confidence interval, 0.853-0.964, p<0.001) and a threshold HCit concentration of 0.16 mmol/mol Lys for predicting the presence of CAD (78.9% sensitivity and 78.8% specificity). HCit concentrations significantly (p<0.001) increased concomitantly with the severity of CAD and were positively correlated with Gensini scores (r=0.725, p<0.001) as well as with the number of stenotic coronary arteries (p<0.001). Furthermore, in a multiple stepwise regression analysis, HCit was significantly (p<0.001) and independently associated with the presence of CAD, the Gensini score, and the number of stenotic arteries (standardized β values of 0.525, 0.722, and 0.642, respectively).
    Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that serum HCit concentrations are increased during CAD and are positively associated with the severity of the disease.
