[THE SYSTEM OF SOLUBLE LEPTIN RECEPTORS AND PROINFLAMMATORY FACTORS IN MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION]
Abstract:
The present study was motivated by the lack of data on the role ofvariations in the levels of leptin and its soluble receptors and their interaction with proinflammatory factors in the development of acute coronary syndrome. The study included patients suffering myocardial infarction with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hyperleptinemia and its relationship with myocardial necrosis markers (creatine phosphokinase, creatine phosphokinase-MB, troponin) give reason to suggest the important role of leptin in the development of inflammatory process associated with myocardial infarction in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. The results of the study provide a basis for the elaboration of a new therapeutic strategy for the correction of metabolic disorders in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
