摘要:Sugérese que la hiperuricema sea un factor de riesgo cardiovascular en humanos adultos con síndrome meta-bólico (SM) El polimorfismo C677T en el gen metilenote-trahidrofolato reductasa (MTHFR) ha sido asociado com la hiperuricemia. Datos sobre los factores asociados con la uricemia en humanos adultos con SM genotipados para el polimorfismo C677T en el gen MTHFR son inexistentes. Se objetivó investigar los factores asociados con la uricemia en individuos con SM genotipados para el polimorfismo C677T.Se ha realizado un estudio transversal con 63 humanos adultos (24 hombres y 39 mujeres). Fueron evaluados peso, altura, índice de masa corporal, circunferencia de la cintura, grasa corporal total, glucemia, uricemia, insulinemia, homocisteinemia, folato plasmático, folato en los eritrocitos, presión arterial, tabaquismo, uso de diuréticos, ingesta habitual de proteínas dietéticas y de alcohol y la presencia del polimorfismo C677T. No fue encontrado asociación significativa entre el polimorfismo C677T y la uricemia. Fue verificado que un 25,4% (n = 16) ddo los individuos presentaban hiperuri-cemia (10 hombres y 6 mujeres). Se verificó que un 33% (n = 21) de olos individuos presentaron el polimorfismo C677T (19 heterocigotos y 2 homocigotos polimórficos). La uricemia se asoció con los niveles de homocisteina (r = 0,43, p
其他摘要:It is suggested that hyperuricemia is a marker of cardiovascular risk in human adults with metabolic syndrome (MS). The C677T polymorphism in the gene encoding the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is associated with hyperuricemia. Data on factors associated with uricemia in human adults with MS genotyped for this polymorphism are lacking. We aimed to investigate the factors associated with uricemia in human adults with MS genotyped for the C677T polymorphism in the MTHFR gene. Cross-sectional study was conducted with 63 human adults (24 men and 39 women) with MS. Body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, body fat, glycemia, lipid profile, uricemia, insulinemia, homocysteinemia, plasma folate, erythrocyte folate, blood pressure, smoking, diuretics use, usual dietary alcohol and protein intakes, MTHFR and the presence of the C677T polymorphism in the gene were assessed. Hyperuricemia was observed in 16 (25.4%) human adults (10 men and 6 women). In the group, 33% (n = 21) showed the C677T polymorphism, being 19 heterozygous and 2 mutant homozygous. A significant association between hyperuricemia and C677T polymorphism was not verified. Uricemia was positively associated with homocys-teinemia (r = 0.43, p
