Introduction: Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP-4), an adipokine, that was identified as key regulator of obesity related insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and certain components of metabolic syndrome. Objectives: To study the relation of RBP4 and insulin resistance in patients with visceral obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on 74 subjects; classified according to their Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Circumference (WC) into three main groups: Group 1: included 27 obese diabetic subjects Group 2: included 28 obese non diabetic subjects. Group 3: included 19 healthy non-obese subjects, serving as control. All patients were assessed for Insulin Resistance (IR) index by HOMA-IR and Assessment of B cell function by HOMA-β, RBP4. Results: RBP4 was significantly higher in group 1 and group 2 compared to group 3(p˃0.05) and was nonsignificant in group 1 compared to group 2. There was non-significant correlation between RBP4 & (anthropometric parameters, lipid profile, FBG, 2HPP, HBA1C, FI, HOMA-IR, HOMA-B) in group 1. RBP4 was significantly negative correlated with (BW, HDL) and significant positive correlated with FI, HOMA-IR in the group 2. In viscerally obese subjects HOMA-B% was lower than diabetes group and control group. Conclusion: RBP4 was correlated to insulin resistance in viscerally obese subjects. Viscerally obese subjects had impaired B cell function they are liable for type 2 diabetes and other metabolic risks

Obesity and the related diabetes scourges speak to a genuine concern around the world. Bariatric/metabolic surgery rose in a years ago as a profitable helpful alternative for stoutness and related maladies, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The convoluted system of instruments associated with corpulence and T2DM have not totally characterized yet. There is as yet a level-headed discussion on which would be the primary metabolic deformity prompting metabolic crumbling: insulin protection or hyperinsulinemia? Knowledge into the metabolic impacts of bariatric/metabolic surgery has uncovered that, past weight reduction and nourishment confinement, different instruments can be enacted by the improvements of the gastrointestinal tract, for example, the incretin/hostile to incretin framework, changes in bile corrosive creation and stream, and adjustments of gut miniaturized scale biota; every one of them conceivably associated with the abatement of T2DM. The entire clarification of these systems will prompt a superior comprehension of the pathogenesis of this illness. Our point was to audit a portion of the metabolic instruments engaged in the advancement of T2DM in corpulent patients and additionally in the abatement of this condition in patients submitted to bariatric/metabolic surgery.

Objective: To compare the effect of Transdermal Testosterone (TT) or Clomiphene Citrate (CC) administration on metabolic control, erectile function and quality of life in patients with T2DM.
Materials and patients: The study population included 40 men with T2DM up to 60 years old, who were on metformin monotherapy at doses up to 2550 mg daily over the last three months. The patients had total testosterone values between 8 and 12 nmol/L and LH levels within the normal range. Other causes of hypogonadism were excluded. The patients were asked to answer the IIEF and the SF-36 surveys. BMI, WC, lipid profile, HbA1c, testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, PSA, and albuminuria were monitored at their initial visits, and on the 12th and the 24th weeks. 19 of the patients were treated with TT and 21 with CC.
Results: Both groups corresponded in age, BMI, and HbA1c. Three-month administration of TT resulted in a significant increase of serum T and SHBG levels, and a reduction in BMI, HbA1c, WC, TC, TG, that extended to the 6th month. In the group treated with CC the monitored parameters showed the same dynamics.
In the group treated with TT we found significant improvement in all indicators of IIEF at the 3rd month. At the 6th month of and the overall satisfaction declined. In patients treated with CC it was found a significant improvement in all domains during the follow-up period, but without reaching statistical significance. We found significant improvement in physical (p<0.001) and mental (p<0.01) health and in quality of life (p<0.01) at the 3rd month, that extended until the 6th month.
Conclusions: The on time initiation of treatment, that increases testosterone levels, is essential for the metabolic disorders, erectile dysfunction and quality of life. Trials of a longer duration are required to establish the benefits and risks of that therapy in patients with T2DM and Androgen Deficiency Syndrome.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a global epidemic; every 3 seconds someone in the world develops dementia. An estimated 50 million people are living with a disease that cannot be prevented, treated or cured. Without novel breakthroughs, AD is predicted to exceed 130 million by 2050. Pharmaceuticals offer minimal relief with dismal evidence of reversing neurodegeneration. Research focuses on β-amyloid plaques and tau tangles; but, in a clinical trial, medications designed to sop-up toxic proteins in the brain fail to impede neural decline. Instead, plaques and tangles appear to be late-arrivers in the insidious progression of dementia. The recent explosion of comorbid metabolic pathologies (global prevalence of T2DM estimated @ 463 million) invites researchers into a deeper discussion of bioenergetics regulating cognitive impairment and metabolic dysregulation. Age-related energy deficits, driven by peripheral insulin resistance, exacerbate Aβ/tau accumulation, increase oxidative stress and impede mitochondrial function; work by Sergi et al. and Mastroeni et al. suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction with epigenetic impairment in oxidative respiration appear to be the earliest offenders in the progression of T2DM and AD . This case report highlights a novel, integrated intervention with a 69-year-old male dually diagnosed with T2DM and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Physiological biomarkers were measured pre/mid/post-intervention; the MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) measured cognitive function, pre/post. Statistically significant results were observed in the metabolic risk biomarkers, memory was restored to normal ranges, and the HbA1c normalized out of the diabetic range @ <5.6%. Furthermore, the metabolic and cognitive improvements were sustained @ 3 months postintervention. These promising results suggest that dietary ketogenesis restores peripheral insulin sensitivity, mitigates T2DM and improves cognition by circumventing neural starvation via the restoration of metabolic flexibility.

Background: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is on the rise in developing countries like Bangladesh along with decreasing Vitamin D levels. As women are more vulnerable to metabolic syndrome and vitamin D deficiency, and connection among these were reported in various population, this research aims to quantify the association between vitamin D and metabolic syndrome and its components among Bangladeshi women from urban area.
Methods: Necessary data were collected from 233 participants over five months from 2015 to 2016 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The concentration of Triglyceride, High- Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels, fasting plasma glucose was measured with kits and vitamin D analysis was performed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography.
Results: In this study, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the population was found to be 59.66%. When the subjects were divided into different quarters according to vitamin D sufficiency levels, subjects in all the quarters had significantly lower odds ratios of having metabolic syndrome compared to the lowest quarter.
Conclusion: The number of metabolic syndrome components were found to be inversely correlated with Vitamin D level and individual components were found to be correlated with Vitamin D, indicating the inverse association between vitamin D and prevalence of risk of metabolic syndrome.
