Prevention of the metabolic syndrome insulin resistance and the atherosclerotic diseases in Africans infected by Helicobacter pylori infection and treated by antibiotics

The Influence of Chronic Helicobacter Pylori Infection on some Serum Lipid Profile Parameters, Apolipoproteins A-I and B and Lp(a) Lipoprotein

“…This is in agreement with the previous reports which indicated higher seropositivity in an older population (3,11,16,24). Sung et al (16) who analyzed the seropositivity rate in different age groups of Korean adults found the highest seropositivity rate in participants over 50 and the lowest in subjects younger than 30 years, and also that HP se ro positive participants were significantly older than those sero negative (p<0.05).…”

Helicobacter Pylori Infection is a Significant Risk for Modified Lipid Profile in Japanese Male Subjects

“…These mechanisms need further examination. Longo-Mbenza et al indicated that men infected with Helicobacter pylori eliminated infection antibodies more slowly than infected women 32) . Thus, infection with strains of Helicobacter pylori with a longer inflammatory period might vary the difference in metabolic risk factors between genders.…”

Relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and metabolic syndrome

“…There are explanations that this leads to unresponsiveness to insulin in the peripheral tissue and subsequently to MS (7-10, 13). Longo-Mbenza et al (14) determined that HP (+) patients have higher systolic and diastolic BP, larger WC, higher TG and TC but lower HDL concentrations than HP (−) patients and reported a decrease in BP, TC, and FPG concentrations in HP (+) patients after eradication therapy compared with the concentrations before therapy. In this study, HP (+) patients were compared with HP (−) patients, and the systolic and diastolic BP and BMI, which are among the components of MS, were found to be significantly higher in the HP (+) group than in the HP (−) group (p<0.05).…”
