Triglycerides as Determinants of Global Lipoprotein Derangement: Implications for Cardiovascular Prevention

: Plasma triglyceride levels are a strong cardiovascular risk marker. However, triglyceride-lowering therapies have not demonstrated a reduction in cardiovascular events, suggesting that triglycerides may serve as surrogate markers for other atherogenic mechanisms. The aim is to investigate the role of triglycerides in derangements of the global lipoprotein profile, as assessed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Serum lipoprotein profiles were analyzed in patients with metabolic alterations attending th...

Is COVID-19 All That Glitters?

Over the last three years, the Coronavirus-19 disease has been a global health emergency, playing a primary role in the international scientific community. Clinical activity and scientific research have concentrated their efforts on facing the pandemic, allowing the description of novel pathologies correlated to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), such as the Multisystemic Inflammatory Syndrome in Children and Adults (MIS-C, MIS-A). Conversely, this shift of attentio...

Implications of GLP-1 Receptor Agonist on Thyroid Function: A Literature Review of Its Effects on Thyroid Volume, Risk of Cancer, Functionality and TSH Levels

The increasing utilization of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus has raised interest regarding their impact on thyroid function. In fact, while these agents are well known for their efficacy in glycemic control and weight management, their association with thyroid disorders requires clarification due to the complex interplay between thyroid hormones and metabolic pathways. Thyroid dysfunction commonly co-occurs with metabolic conditions ...
