Abstract in Portuguese
Além das alterações autonômicas, a síndrome metabólica (SMet) causa disfunção vascular relacionada a eventos cardiovasculares e morte. Considerando que a resistência à insulina é associada à hiperativação simpática, testamos a hipótese de que a presença da glicemia de jejum alterada (GLI) é a principal causa das alterações estruturais e funcionais em grandes e pequenos vasos, via aumento do tônus simpático nesses pacientes. Foram avaliados pacientes com SMet recém diagnosticados (ATP-III) e não medicados, divididos em: glicemia de jejum alterada >=100mg/dL (SMet+GLI, n=35; 50±1 anos) e glicemia normal < 100mg/dL (SMet-GLI, n=24, 46 ± 1). Um grupo de indivíduos saudáveis foi estudado como controle (CS, n=17, 50±1 anos). Foram medidas rigidez arterial (velocidade de onda de pulso, VOP), atividade nervosa simpática muscular (ANSM, microneurografia) fluxo sanguíneo muscular (FSM, pletismografia), pressão arterial média (PAM, oscilométrico), resistência vascular periférica (RVP=PAM/FSM) e dimetilarginina assimétrica (ADMA). SMet+GLI apresentou maior VOP que SMet-GLI e CS (8,0[7,2-8,6], 7,3[6,9-7,9] e 6,9[6,6-7,2]m/s, respectivamente, P=0,001), não havendo diferença entre SMet-GLI e CS. Além disso, SMet+GLI foi similar ao SMet-GLI mas teve maior RVP que CS (P=0,008), não havendo diferença entre SMet-GLI e CS. Adicionalmente, SMet+GLI teve maior ANSM que SMet-GLI e CS; enquanto SMet-GLI teve maior ANSM que CS (31+-1; 26+-1; 19+-1 disparos /min, P < 0,001). ADMA foi similar entre os grupos (0,62 [0,56-0,71], 0,67 [0,59-0,92] e 0,60 [0,54-1,43] umol/L). Dentre os fatores de risco da SMet, GLI foi preditor do aumento da ANSM. ANSM foi associada à VOP (R=0.39; P=0,002) e à RVP (R=0,30, P=0,034). Em conclusão, a hiperativação simpática, que está aumentada na presença da glicemia alterada, é o mecanismo básico que pode explicar, pelo menos em parte, o aumento na VOP e na RVP. GLI parece ser o principal fator de risco no prejuízo da função e estrutura vascular nos pacientes com SMet

Abstract in English
Besides autonomic alterations, metabolic syndrome (MetS) causes vascular dysfunction related to cardiovascular events and death. Since insulin resistance is associated with sympathetic hyperactivation, we tested the hypothesis that the presence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is the main cause of structural and functional changes of large and small vessels via elevated sympathetic tonus in these patients. We evaluated never treated, newly diagnosed MetS (ATP-III) patients divided into: impaired fasting glucose >100mg/dL (MetS+IFG, n=35; 50±1 y) and normal fasting glucose <100mg/dL (MetS-IFG, n=24, 46±1 y). A healthy control group was also studied (C, n=17, 50±1 y). We measured the arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity, PWV), muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA, microneurography), forearm blood flow (FBF, plethysmography), mean blood pressure (MBP, oscillometric), peripheral vascular resistance (PVR=MBP/FBF) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). MetS+IFG had higher PWV than MetS-IFG and C (8.0[7.2-8.6], 7.3[6.9-7.9] and 6.9[6.6-7.2]m/s, respectively, P=0.001), whereas SMet-GLI was similar to CS. Moreover, MetS+IFG was similar to MetS-IFG, but had higher PVR than C (P=0.008) and SMet-GLI was similar to CS. In addition, MetS+IFG had higher MSNA than MetS-IFG and C; whereas MetS-IFG had higher MSNA than C (31 +- 1; 26+- 1; 19+-1 bursts/min, P < 0.001). ADMA were similar among groups (0.62 [0.56-0.71] vs 0.67 [0.59-0.92] and 0.60 [0.54-1.43] umol/L). Among MetS risk factors, IFG was predictor of increased MSNA. Further, MSNA was associated with PWV (R=0.39; P=0.002) and PVR (R=0.30, P=0.034). In conclusion, sympathetic hyperactivation, which is enhanced in the presence of high blood glucose, is the basic mechanism that could explain, at least in part, the increase in PWV and PVR. IFG appears to be the main risk factor in the vascular function and structure damage in MetS patients
