  1. Metabolic syndrome and renal sodium handling in three ethnic groups living in England A Barbato§†, FP Cappuccio§, EJ Folkerd§, P Strazzullo†, B Sampson#, KGMM Alberti‡ Published in: Diabetologia 2004; 47: 40-46

  2. Background • ↑proximal renal sodium re-absorption associated with ‘metabolic syndrome’ in white men(JAMA 1993;270:354-9 & J Hypertens 1996;14:909-14)

  3. Background • ↑proximal renal sodium re-absorption associated with ‘metabolic syndrome’ in white men(JAMA 1993;270:354-9 & J Hypertens 1996;14:909-14) • ↑proximal renal sodium re-absorption associated with abdominal adiposity in white men (J Hypertens 2001;19:2157-64)

  4. Na + Li + Na+ Na + Uric acid Segmental renal sodium handling studied by the clearance of ‘exogenous’ or ‘endogenous’ lithium

  5. Exogenous Oral load Li+ carbonate 150-900mg Li+ 4-24 mmol Serum & urine Li+ in mM Detectable with A.A.S. Disadvantages natriuretic effect not suitable for serial tests difficult in epidemiology compliance ethics Endogenous No load needed Serum & urine Li+ in mM Detectable with A.A.S. with electrothermal atomisation and tantalum-coated graphite Detection limit 0.05 mM Advantages avoidance of Li+ effect suitable for serial tests applicable to epidemiology Disadvantages special equipment & skill high cost Lithium Clearance: non-invasive assessment of renal tubular sodium handling in vivo in man Clin Sci 1988;74:651-7 JAMA 1993;270:354-9 Am J Physiol 1995;268:F718-22 Diabetologia 2004;47:40-6

  6. Questions • Does the association exist? • Is it consistent in men and women? • Is it present in different ethnic groups with different degrees of metabolic syndrome?

  7. Study design • Population-based cross-sectional survey • Men and women aged 40-59 yrs • Whites, South Asians, African origin • Random selection from GPs age-sex registers after stratification by sex and ethnic group • Fieldwork between March 1994 and July 1996 • Sample size: 1,577 • 1,257 (80%) timed urine collections • 1,190 complete data set available

  8. Measurements • Questionnaire (migration, religion, language, smoking,medical history, therapy) • Physical (height, weight, waist & hip circumferences) • Blood Pressure (by Arteriosonde) • Fasting blood (biochemistry, lipids, glucose, insulin, HOMA index) • Timed Urine after overnight fast (Na, K, Cr, endogenous Li) • Endogenous Li clearance • Between CV%: serum 10.8% (n=100); urine 6.2% (n=185) • Within CV%: serum 6.2% (n=23); urine 4.6% (n=27)

  14. Summary • An independent association exists between ↑ proximal sodium re-absorption and metabolic indices of vascular risk in white men and women

  15. Summary • An independent association exists between ↑ proximal sodium re-absorption and metabolic indices of vascular risk in white men and women • Insulin levels also relate to renal Na+ handling

  16. Summary • An independent association exists between ↑ proximal sodium re-absorption and metabolic indices of vascular risk in white men and women • Insulin levels also relate to renal Na+ handling • The association is not present in men and women of African or South Asian origin, despite raised insulin levels and more prevalent metabolic syndrome

  17. Summary & Conclusions • An independent association exists between ↑ proximal sodium re-absorption and metabolic indices of vascular risk in white men and women • Insulin levels also relate to renal Na+ handling • The association is not present in men and women of African or South Asian origin, despite raised insulin levels and more prevalent metabolic syndrome • Potential mechanisms (ethnic-specific) to be elucidated • Long-term proximal effect of insulin • ↑ Na+-H+? - ↓ hepatic cAMP - ↑ SNS activity • Possible effects of ↑ glucose • Possible changes in membrane fluidity and ion transport • Role of genetic polymorphisms
