Weight loss reduces serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 concentrations in association with improvements in renal injury in obese men with metabolic syndrome

Abstract
Background: Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is involved in obesity-related renal injury. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of weight loss on changes in MCP-1 and markers of renal injury, specifically serum cystatin C (S-CysC) and urinary N-acetyl glucosaminidase (UNAG), in obese people.
Methods: In this prospective study, 40 obese men with metabolic syndrome (MetS) participated in a 3-month dietary and exercise intervention. Twenty-eight subjects completed the study with a ≥5% weight loss. Circulating MCP-1, S-CysC and UNAG to creatinine ratio (UNCR) were determined before and after the weight loss program.
Results: Obesity-associated components of MetS demonstrated significant improvements after the weight loss program. In addition, at baseline, circulating MCP-1 concentrations were positively correlated with UNCR and S-CysC levels. After weight loss, blood MCP-1 and UNCR levels were significantly decreased, but S-CysC was not affected. Using multiple linear regression analysis, there was a significant relationship between changes in UNCR and MCP-1 after adjusting for other potential confounding factors.
Conclusions: Weight loss may improve renal tubular injury by ameliorating obesity-related inflammation in obese men with MetS.
