Vasoregulatory peptides pro-endothelin-1 and pro-adrenomedullin are associated with metabolic syndrome in the population-based KORA F4 study.
Eur. J. Endocrinol. 167, 847-853 (2012)
Background: Metabolic alterations and endothelial dysfunction are interrelated processes in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) that often develop in parallel. We assessed the association of vasoactive precursor peptides (VPPs) with MetS and T2D. Design and methods: Plasma levels of C-terminal pro-endothelin-1 (CT-proET-1) and midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) were measured by novel sensitive assays in 1590 participants of the population-based KORA F4 study. The association of the VPPs with T2D, MetS defined by IDF criteria, the components of MetS, and insulin resistance (IR) was assessed in logistic regression models. Results: Elevated levels of CT-proET-1 and MR-proADM were associated with T2D, MetS, and IR in age- and sex-adjusted models. After adjustment for age, sex, former vascular complications, lifestyle factors, high-sensitive C-reactive protein, and serum creatinine, significant associations with MetS were found for MR-proADM (OR=5.94, 95% CI 3.78-9.33) and CT-proET-1 (OR=5.18, 95% CI 3.48-7.71) (top quartile vs bottom quartile). CT-proET-1 and MR-proADM were strongly associated with all components of MetS as defined by IDF criteria. After multivariable adjustment, association of CT-proET-1 and MR-proADM with pathological glucose tolerance and T2D disappeared and a borderline association with IR was found only for CT-proET-1 (OR=1.34, 95% CI 0.96-1.87). Conclusions: We here demonstrate for the first time that plasma levels of both MR-proADM and CT-proET-1 levels are related to MetS and its components, thus suggesting that they possibly have a role as a surrogate biomarker for the disease and its complications.
