This document discusses metabolic syndrome, including its definition, diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, associated conditions, and management. Metabolic syndrome is defined as a clustering of at least three of five medical conditions that increase cardiovascular and diabetes risk. These conditions include abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, and low HDL cholesterol. The pathophysiology involves insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia. Management focuses on lifestyle modifications like diet, exercise and weight loss, as well as treating individual components through drugs.

Controlling blood sugar (glucose) levels is the major goal of diabetes treatment, in order to prevent complications of the disease.
Type 1 diabetes is managed with insulin as well as dietary changes and exercise.
Type 2 diabetes may be managed with non-insulin medications, insulin, weight reduction, or dietary changes.
Medications for type 2 diabetes are designed to
increase insulin output by the pancreas,
decrease the amount of glucose released from the liver,
increase the sensitivity (response) of cells to insulin,
decrease the absorption of carbohydrates from the intestine, and
slow emptying of the stomach, thereby delaying nutrient digestion and absorption in the small intestine.

New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

treated for dyslipidemia
Blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg or antihypertensive medication
Fasting plasma glucose ≥ 6.1 mmol/L
8. pathophysiology
1, Insulin resistance
Most accepted hypothesis
That is why metabolic syndrome is also known as the insulin
resistance syndrome
A defect in insulin action results in hyperinsulinemia,
hyperglycaemia, hypertension, increased FFA
9. Pathophysiology…
Insulin resistance
Expanded adipose tissue mass ˃ circulating free fatty acids
(FFA) ˃ insulin resistance
In muscle: FFA inhibits insulin-mediated glucose uptake ˃
reduces insulin sensitivity ˃ increase circulating glucose ˃
hyperinsulinemia
In the liver: FFA increases the production of glucose,
triglycerides, and secretion of very-low-density lipoproteins
(VLDL) ˃ increase lipid accumulation
10. Pathophysiology…
2. Increased waist circumference (visceral obesity)
Increase adipose tissue and abdominal subcutaneous fat ˃
increase adipokines (TNFα and IL-6) and decreases
Adiponectin releases ˃ insulin resistance and vascular
dysfunction.
The RAS is also activated in adipose tissue, leading to
hypertension and insulin resistance.
11. Pathophysiology…
3. Dyslipidaemia
high plasma TG levels,
low HDL cholesterol levels and
an increase in LDL
Insulin resistance and visceral obesity are associated with dyslipidemia
impaired insulin signaling increases lipolysis, resulting in increased FFA
levels.
In the liver, FFAs serve as a substrate for synthesis of TGs.
FFAs also stabilize the production of apoB, the major lipoprotein of
very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles, resulting in more VLDL
production.
13. Pathophysiology…
5. Hypertension
Insulin has a vasodilation effect. ( by stimulating NO
production in endothelium)
Regulates sodium homeostasis by enhancing sodium
reabsorption in the kidney
In the setting of insulin resistance, the vasodilatory and sodium
homeostasis effect of insulin can be lost,
Fatty acids themselves can mediate relative vasoconstriction.
Development of hypertension.
14. Risk factors
The etiology for metabolic syndrome remains unclear.
known risk factors include:
Overweight/obesity
Sedentary lifestyle
Aging
15. Risk factors …
Diabetes mellitus
Coronary heart disease: The approximate prevalence of
metabolic syndrome in patients with coronary heart disease
(CHD) is 50%.
Lipodystrophy
Family history of metabolic syndrome
16. Clinical manifestation
Central obesity: It is characterized by adipose tissue
accumulation predominantly around the waist and trunk.
Other signs of metabolic syndrome include
High blood pressure
Decreased fasting serum HDL cholesterol
Elevated fasting serum triglyceride level
Impaired fasting glucose or prediabetes.
17. Associated conditions (complications)
Cardiovascular disease: The relative risk averages between
1.5-fold and threefold.
Type 2 diabetes: three- to fivefold.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Hyperuricemia
Polycystic ovary syndrome
Obstructive sleep apnea
19. Management
Primary intervention:
Healthy lifestyle (lifestyle modification).
This includes: moderate calorie restriction (to achieve a 5–10
percent loss of body weight in the first year)
Exercise: moderate increase in physical activity
Diet: change in dietary composition.
Mediterranean diet (high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole
grains, and olive oil)
23. Management…
Recommended treatment of the individual components of the
metabolic syndrome:-
1. Dyslipidaemia: the primary goal
Lower TG
Raise HDL-c levels
Reduce LDL-c levels
Drugs: Fibrates and statins
The recommended
24. Management…
2. Elevated blood pressure
At: BP ≥ 140/≥ 90 mm Hg
BP ≥ 130/≥ 80 mm Hg for established diabetes
Antihypertensive drugs
25. Management…
3. Insulin resistance and hyperglycemia
Metformin therapy in people with prediabetes will prevent or
delay the development of diabetes
Thiazolidinedione: delay or prevent type 2 diabetes in people
with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and insulin resistance.
27. Nursing Management…
Nursing goals:
The client will identify inappropriate behaviors and
consequences associated with overeating or weight gain.
The patient will achieve and maintain glucose in a satisfactory
range
28. Nursing Management…
Nursing interventions:
Review individual causes for obesity
Explore and discuss emotions and events associated with eating.
Teach the patient how to perform home glucose monitoring
Advise patients to increase physical activity to reduce their weight
and improve blood pressure.
Teach patients about the link between smoking and CVD and
refer them to smoking-cessation resources.
Advise patient to limit alcohol
Metabolic syndrome is a clustering of at least three of the following five medical conditions: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high serum triglycerides, and low serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
most commonly used definitions of metabolic syndrome are
World Health Organisation, 1998 Because insulin resistance was felt to be central to the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome, evidence for insulin resistance is an absolute requirement in the WHO definition.
Diabetes or impaired fasting glycaemia ( greater than100mg/dl) or impaired glucose tolerance (greater than 140mg/dl) or insulin resistance (hyperinsulinaemic, euglycaemic clamp-glucose uptake in lowest 25%)
Plus any two of the following:
Obesity: BMI > 30 or waist-to-hip ratio > 0.9 (male) or > 0.85 (female)
Dyslipidaemia: triglycerides ≥ 1.7 mmol/L or HDL cholesterol < 0.9 (male) or < 1.0 (female) mmol/L
Hypertension: blood pressure > 140/90 mm Hg
Microalbuminuria: albumin excretion > 20 μg/min
According to the NCEP ATP III definition, metabolic syndrome is present if three or more of the following five criteria are met:
waist circumference over 40 inches (men) or 35 inches (women),
fasting triglyceride (TG) level over 150 mg/dl
(HDL) cholesterol level less than 40 mg/dl (men) or 50 mg/dl (women)
Hypertension: blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mm Hg or medication
fasting blood sugar over 100 mg/dl.
it does not require that any specific criterion be met; only that at least three of five criteria are met.
International Diabetes Federation, 2005 it requires that obesity, but not necessarily insulin resistance, be present.
Central obesity (defined as waist circumference ≥ 94 cm for Europoid men and ≥ 80 cm for Europoid women)
Plus any two of the following:
Raised triglycerides > 1.7 mmol/L, or specific treatement for this lipid abnormality
Reduced HDL cholesterol: < 1.03 mmol/L in males, and 1.29 mmol/L in females, or specific treatement for this lipid abnormality
Raised blood pressure: systolic blood pressure ≥ 130mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mmHg
Raised fasting plasma glucose ≥ 5.6 mmol/L, or previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus
The normal range of fasting insulin is between 2 to 20milli- international unit/L
Insulin resistance occurs when there is a decrease in the responsiveness of peripheral tissues (skeletal muscle, fat and liver) to the effects of insulin.
The most accepted hypothesis to describe the pathophysiology of the metabolic syndrome is insulin resistance. That is why the metabolic syndrome is also known as the insulin resistance syndrome. Insulin resistance has been defined as a defect in insulin action that results in hyperinsulinaemia, necessary to maintain euglycaemia.
Hyperinsulinemia : deuto pancrease produce extra insulin for insulin resistance compensation,,,,, hypertention dueto sodium reabsorption impairement by kidney NO production inhibition that result in vasoconstriction,,,,, FFA from breakdown of fat for energy production
A major contributor to the development of insulin resistance is an overabundance of circulating fatty acids, released from an expanded adipose tissue mass.
FFA reduce insulin sensitivity in muscle by inhibiting insulin-mediated glucose uptake. Increased level of circulating glucose increases pancreatic insulin secretion resulting in hyperinsulinemia.˃˃
In the liver, FFA increase the production of glucose, triglycerides and secretion of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). The consequence is the reduction in glucose transformation to glycogen and increased lipid accumulation in triglyceride (TG).
Visceral obesity causes a decrease in insulin-mediated glucose uptake, and is clearly related to insulin resistance.
produced by adipose tissue These include tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) cytokines , which are proinflammatory and contribute to insulin resistance and vascular dysfunction. Adiponectin fat derived hormone that protecting against insulin resistance and atherosclerosis and obesity reduce adinopectin sensitivity
If RAS activated sodium reabsorption and water retention by kidney .
Under physiological conditions, insulin inhibits the secretion of VLDL into the systemic circulation. In the setting of insulin resistance, increased flux of free fatty acids to The key features of atherogenic dyslipidemia are high plasma TG levels, low HDL cholesterol levels and an increase in small dense LDL.
insulin normally suppresses lipolysis in adipocytes, so impaired insulin signaling increases lipolysis, resulting in increased FFA levels. In the liver, FFAs serve as a substrate for synthesis of TGs. FFAs also stabilize the production of apoB, the major lipoprotein of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles, resulting in more VLDL production.
The defects of insulin action in glucose metabolism include failure to suppress gluconeogenesis in the liver, and to mediate glucose uptake in insulin sensitive tissues (i.e. muscle and adipose tissue). To compensate for defects in insulin action, insulin secretion must be increased to sustain euglycaemia. If this compensation fails, defects in insulin secretion predominate and hyperglycaemia occurs.
First, insulin is a vasodilator when given intravenously to people of normal weight, with secondary effects on sodium reabsorption in the kidney. In the setting of insulin resistance, the vasodilatory effect of insulin can be lost, these contribute to increased renal sodium reabsorption which associated with fluid retention and hypertention . Fatty acids themselves can mediate relative vasoconstriction.
contribute to the development of hypertension.
Centrally accumulation of body fat is associated with insulin resistance
Overweight people tend to develop a resistance to insulin
Sedentary lifestylemetabolic syndrome are associated with a sedentary lifestyle, due to increased risk of adipose tissue (predominantly central),reduced HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and increased glucosein the genetically susceptible. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome increases with age, with about 40% of people older than 60 years
It is estimated that the great majority (∼75%)of patients with Type 2 diabetes or impaired glucosetolerance (IGT) have the metabolic syndrome. Lipodystrophy syndromes are a group of genetic or acquired disorders in which the body is unable to produce and maintain healthy fat tissue.
The key sign of metabolic syndrome is central obesity, also known as visceral, male-pattern or apple-shaped adiposity. • It is characterized by adipose tissue accumulation predominantly around the waist and trunk. Other signs of metabolic syndrome include • High blood pressure • Decreased fasting serum HDL cholesterol • Elevated fasting serum triglyceride level • Impaired fasting glucose, insulin resistance, or prediabetes.
The relative risk for new-onset CVD in patients withthe metabolic syndrome, in the absence of diabetes,averages between 1.5-fold and threefold.
Overall, the risk for Type 2 diabetes in patients with themetabolic syndrome is increased three- to fivefold.
HyperuricemiaHyperuricemia reflects defects in insulin action on therenal tubular reabsorption of uric acid, PCOS is due to insulin resistance contributes to inhibit liver sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) production and stimulate ovarian/adrenal androgen secretion.
gradual increases in physical activity should be encouraged to enhance adherence and avoid injury
Diets restricted in carbohydrate typically provide a rapid initial weight loss.
daily sodium intake limited to 2400 mg
high fiber diet (≥30 g/day) resulted in similar weight loss as compared with a more complex diet
Secondary intervention In people for whom lifestyle change is not enough and who are considered to be at high risk for CVD, drug therapy may be required to treat the metabolic syndrome.
to treat the individual components of the syndrome in order that a lower individual risk associated with each component will reduce the overall impact on CVD and diabetes risk.
lower the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood by blocking a substance the body needs to make cholesterol.
Fibrates: help to lower high triglyceride levels and also may help raise HDL (good) cholesterol.
Categorical hypertension (BP ≥ 140/≥ 90 mm Hg) should be treated. In patients with established diabetes, antihypertensive therapy should be introduced at BP ≥ 130/≥ 80 mm Hg
drugs that reduce insulin resistance will delay the onset of type 2 diabetes and will reduce CVD risk when metabolic syndrome is present.
