Helicobacter pylori infection and arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Impact of Helicobacter pylori Eradication on Circulating Adiponectin in Humans

“…Therefore, it is possible that a decrease in circulating adiponectin may play a significant role in the development of metabolic syndrome. Meanwhile, it has been demonstrated that there is a relationship between H. pylori infection and metabolic syndrome conditions, such as atherosclerosis , diabetes mellitus , hypertension , and obesity . In this study, we demonstrated that circulating levels of total, HMW, MMW, and LMW adiponectin significantly increased after successful eradication of H. pylori .…”

“…Recently, H. pylori has also been found to be involved in various aspects of several extra‐gastric manifestations. Some epidemiologic studies reported a significant link between H. pylori infection and cardiovascular and atherosclerotic disease . The results of other studies, however, contradicted this connection .…”

Association of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio With Presence and Severity of Gastritis Due toHelicobacter pyloriInfection

“…In fact, the presence of antibodies was nearly double in the subjects with CAD compared to the control group, which also correlated to increased CRP levels (9). Similarly, another study showed that HP infection was related to increased arterial stiffness and increased systolic blood pressure in diabetic subjects (16).…”

Is PCOS an inflammatory process?

“…In particular, Chlamydia pneumonia seropositivity correlates with the presence of atherosclerosis and even acute myocardial infarction (51). In a similar fashion, seropositivity for Helicobacter pylori is associated with arterial stiffness and unstable angina (52,53). Other sources of chronic infectious processes linked to inflammation and cardiovascular risks include pathogens involved in periodontal disease.…”
