Case #1

• Social– Freshman in high school. Described as “average”

student.– Smokes 2-3 cigarettes/day– Denies alcohol/substance abuse– Mother accompanies patient to clinic. Parents are

separated. Lives with mother, who works two jobs.– Has few friends

Case #1

• Physical exam– BP 142/90 right arm sitting (normal 135/85)– Ht 178 cm (90th percentile)– Wt 96 kg (> 95th percentile)– BMI (wt/ht2) 30.3 (> 95th percentile)– Hyperpigmented, rough plaques on neck, groin, inner

thigh (acanthosis nigricans)– Mild hepatomegaly

Acanthosis Nigricans

• Occurs in skin fold areas, especially neck and arm pits

• Associated with hyperinsulinemia

Case #1

• Fasting serum lipid profile– Total cholesterol 220 mg/dl, repeat 226 mg/dl (normal

< 200 mg/dL)– Triglycerides 320 mg/dL (normal < 200 mg/dL)– HDL cholesterol 30 mg/dL (normal > 35 mg/dL)– LDL cholesterol 131 mg/dl (normal < 130 mg/dL)

Case #1• Other lab

– Normal thyroid profile– 8 AM serum cortisol 19 µg/dL (normal 5-23 µg/dL) – Fasting glucose 190 mg/dL (diabetic >115 mg/dL)– Glucose tolerance test

• 60 min 223 mg/dL (diabetic > 200 mg/dL)• 90 min 233 mg/dL (diabetic > 200 mg/dL)• 120 min 188 mg/dL (diabetic > 140 mg/dL)

– Fasting insulin 48 mU/L (normal 7-24 mU/L)– Serum/urine ketones negative– Serum transaminases

• ALT 119 U/L (normal 5-45 U/L)• AST 98 U/L (normal 5-45 U/L)

Risk Factors for Premature Atherosclerotic Heart Disease

• Dyslipidemia (high LDL, low HDL)

• Diabetes

• Hypertension

• Obesity

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Smoking

• Male sex

Obesity and Inflammation

• N-HANES III• 3512 kids (age 8-16)• Kids with elevated CRP (>.22mg/dL) or WBC > 10,000• Overweight (>85%) vs < 85%• Odds Ratio (OR) of 3.7 (M) and 3.1 for correlation of

CRP with overweight• Also elevated risk for WBC

Syndrome X

• Metabolic syndrome associated with greatly increased risk for premature cardiovascular disease

• Syndrome– Obesity– Hypertension– Insulin resistance– Dyslipidemia

• Increased triglycerides• Low HDL cholesterol

Insulin Resistance• Associated with Type II diabetes

• Closely linked with obesity (direction?)

• Decreased insulin-stimulated glucose transport and metabolism in adipocytes and skeletal muscle

• Impaired suppression of hepatic glucose output

• Tissue specific signaling abnormalities

• “Dose” of body fat affects resistance, especially central fat

Complications of Obesity• Cardiovascular-hypertension, heart disease• Insulin resistance/Type II diabetes mellitus• Hyperlipidemia• Growth-advanced bone age, increased height, early menarche • Psychosocial• Hepatobiliary-non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, cholelithiasis• Pulmonary-sleep apnea, Pickwickian syndrome• Orthopedic-slipped capital femoral epiphysis, Blount disease• Cancer-endometrial, breast, prostate, colon• CNS-pseudotumor cerebri

Complications of Diabetes

• Retinopathy

• Nephropathy

• Neuropathy

• Atherosclerosis

Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis(NASH)

• Associated with obesity and insulin resistance• Presents with hepatomegaly and mild serum

transaminase elevation• Lipid accumulation within hepatocytes with

inflammation and fibrosis/cirrhosis• Pathogenesis: “two hit” hypothesis

– 1st hit: triglyceride accumulation– 2nd hit: generation of reactive oxygen species and

lipid peroxidation

Goals for Therapy for Type II Diabetes

• Focus on glucose and lipid goals– Modify fat intake

– Improve food choices

– Space meals throughout the day

• If obese, reduce calories for moderate weight loss• Increase physical activity• Monitor blood glucose, glycohemoglobin, lipids, blood

pressure• Add diabetes medication, if needed
