Abstract

The article summarizes and analyzes the material devoted to the study of pathogenetic links in the development of obesity to improve the methods of early prevention and treatment. The purpose of the work: to optimize the identification of risk factors for the development of obesity in patients to prevent its progression and develop the methods of prevention and treatment. Subject: obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), insulin resistance, diabetic retinopathy, leptin levels, retinol binding protein-4 (RBP-4), glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY), degree of 25-OH-D deficiency. Material and methods: biochemical, immunoenzymatic, instrumental, statistical. The results. The levels and relationships of incretins, namely GLP-1, leptin and RBP-4 adipokines, neurotransmitters (PYY) in overweight patients against the background of carbohydrate metabolism disorders were studied. For T2D patients with increased body weight and obesity, the predominance of the abdominal type of adipose tissue distribution has been established. It has been proven that this category of patients is characterized by an increase in leptin levels and a decrease in 25-OH-D levels against the background of increased insulin resistance, regardless of the obesit degree. It has been proven that the level of leptin and 25-OH-D in the blood serum depends on the compensation of the underlying disease; these figures are likely to decrease in patients with decompensated diabetes mellitus — with an HbA1c level > 8.5%. A decrease in PYY and GLP-1 levels was established for patients with T2D on the background of obesity, which can be a prognostic negative factor for eating disorders and weight gain. A relationship between 25-OH-D and PYY indicators was established (r=0.67; p<0.001). In the study of the intestinal microbiota, it was shown that patients with obesity had a lower microbiota diversity, a decrease in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, and an increase in anaerobic flora. Therefore, changes in the microbiota can be an important factor in the development and progression of obesity. A high prevalence of diabetes-associated osteoarthritis with dominant localization in the upper limbs was established: in 74.5% of patients with type 1 diabetes — mainly in the form of oligoarthritis, in 78.2% of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) — in the form of polyarthritis. The risk factors for the development of diabetes-associated osteoarthritis were identified and substantiated: patient age, HbA1c level, body mass index, and duration of the underlying disease. Conclusions. Thus, the predominance of the abdominal type of adipose tissue distribution with an increase in the level of leptin and a decrease in 25-OH-D against the background of increased indicators of insulin resistance, regardless of the obesity degree, was established in patients with T2D. A decrease in PYY and a significant decrease in GLP-1 levels may be negative predictors of eating disorders and weight gain. The presence of a high prevalence of diabetes-associated osteoarthritis in patients with diabetes mellitus has been established. Modifying factors in the development of arthropathy for patients with both types of diabetes mellitus are the levels of HbA1c and body mass index, therefore, measures to prevent diabetes-associated osteoarthritis should be based on maintaining optimal levels of these indicators to compensate for diabetes mellitus. It has been shown that metabolic disorders are a significant factor that negatively affecting the course of the COVID-19 infection and its possible complications. The consequences are especially dangerous for people with newly diagnosed and untreated diabetes, overweight and obesity. It has been established that T2D can be considered a risk factor for post-Covid syndrome in patients who have recovered from COVID-19. Therefore, weight gain in patients with diabetes mellitus is an important aggravating factor in the course of the underlying disease and its complications and requires a special approach in the complex treatment of such patients.
