Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, in obese and diabetic patients among two multicenter prospective cohorts of JOMS and J-DOS with 1334 obesity and/or diabetes patients which we established, the function of peripheral blood monocyte (inflammatory M1/ anti-inflammatory M2 type balance) were deteriorated. This was found to be in accordance with an increase in novel oxidized LDL and CAVI (Diabetes Care, 2010). In addition, we revealed that a DPP4 inhibitor and the medication for dyslipidemia, EPA, improved the M1/ M2 ratio in the monocyte, thereby leading to their anti-atherogenic effects (Diabetes Care, 2012, 2013, Metabolism, 2013). Furthermore, monocyte M1/M2 type ratios were associated with the inflammation degree of the carotid plaque in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. Therefore, we can suggest the a treatment program including a novel cardiovascular risk marker system focusing on monocyte function (M1/M2 type).
