    Abstract: Background: Since the cardiovascular (CV) risk score in the young population, children and adolescents, is underestimated, especially in developing countries such as Montenegro, where a strong interaction exists between the genetically conditioned CV risk and environmental factors, the purpose of this study was to estimate CV risk in apparently healthy adolescent girls. Moreover, we aimed to test some new, emerging CV risk factors and their interaction with the traditional ones, such as obesity. Precisely, we aimed to assess the impact of low bilirubin levels, as a routine biochemical parameter, as an additional risk factor for atherosclerotic disease in the adult phase. Methods: Forty-five obese adolescent girls (mean age 17.8±1.22 years) and forty-five age-and sex-matched normal weight controls, all nonsmokers, were included. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were measured. Cardiovascular Risk Score (CVRS) was calculated by adding the points for each risk factor (e.g. sex, HDL-c, non-HDLc, blood pressure and fasting glycemia). Results: A significant positive relationship between CVRS and ALT, hsCRP and TG/HDL-c, but an opposite relationship between CVRS and total bilirubin were found (P 〈 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that higher waist circumference (WC) and LDL-c, but lower HDL-c were independent predictors of lower bilirubin values (adjusted R 2 =0.603, P 〈 0.001). Conclusions: Obese adolescent girls are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease late in life. In addition to the traditional risk factors, total bilirubin may have the potential to discriminate between low and higher risk for cardiovascular disturbances in healthy adolescent girls.

    Abstract: Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and cystatin C are regarded as novel metabolic risk markers. Therefore, we aimed to examine which one of these biomarkers better correlates with metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a cohort of postmenopausal women. Methods A total of 129 postmenopausal women (among which 62 women had MetS) were recruited in this cross-sectional study. MetS was diagnosed according to the International Diabetes Federation criteria. Results Cystatin C and RBP4 levels were significantly higher in women with MetS, compared to those without MetS (p=0.011 vs. p 〈 0.001, respectively). A significant difference in the proportion of women with and without MetS across cystatin C and RBP4 quartiles was observed (χ 2 =5.1, p=0.025, and χ 2 =11.1, p=0.001, respectively). Logistic regression analysis revealed a borderline significant relationship between cystatin C and MetS (p=0.066), but this significance disappeared after adjustment for age, inflammation level and duration of menopause (p=0.221). On the contrary, a significant relationship between RBP4 and MetS was observed not only without adjustment (p=0.009), but also even after adjustment for age, inflammation level and duration of menopause (p=0.006). Conclusions RBP4 better correlates with MetS than cystatin C in postmenopausal women.

    Abstract: Studies that evaluated endocan levels in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis are scarce. We aimed to explore endocan levels in relation to different stages of liver diseases, such as NAFLD, as determined with fatty liver index (FLI) and liver fibrosis, as assessed with BARD score. Methods A total of 147 participants with FLI≥60 were compared with 64 participants with FLI 〈 30. An FLI score was calculated using waist circumference, body mass index, gamma-glutamyl transferase and triglycerides. Patients with FLI≥60 were further divided into those with no/mild fibrosis (BARD score 0–1 point; n=23) and advanced fibrosis (BARD score 2–4 points; n=124). BARD score was calculated as follows: diabetes mellitus (1 point) + body mass index≥28 kg/m 2 (1 point) + aspartate amino transferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio≥0.8 (2 points). Results Endocan was independent predictor for FLI and BARD score, both in univariate [OR=1.255 (95% CI= 1.104–1.426), P=0.001; OR=1.208 (95% CI=1.029– 1.419), P=0.021, respectively] and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis [OR=1.287 (95% CI=1.055– 1.570), P=0.013; OR=1.226 (95% CI=1.022–1.470), P=0.028, respectively] . Endocan as a single predictor showed poor discriminatory capability for steatosis/fibrosis [AUC=0.648; (95% CI=0.568–0.727), P=0.002; AUC= 0.667 (95% CI=0.555–0.778), P=0.013, respectively], whereas in a Model, endocan showed an excellent clinical accuracy [AUC=0.930; (95% CI=0.886–0.975), P 〈 0.001, AUC=0.840 (95% CI=0.763–0.918), P 〈 0.001, respectively]. Conclusions Endocan independently correlated with both FLI and BARD score. However, when tested in models (with other biomarkers), endocan showed better discriminatory ability for liver steatosis/fibrosis, instead of its usage as a single biomarker.
