Abstract

Objective Shift work schedule has been associated with several health problems, including deleterious effects on the cardiovascular system. The present study aimed to evaluate the circulating levels of four biomarkers of atherosclerosis (soluble CD40 ligand [sCD40L], monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1], resistin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 [PAI-1]) in a population-based sample of young adult men exposed to rotating shift work schedule in comparison with day workers. Design and participants A total of 439 men aged 34.4+/-8.6 years were included in a cross-sectional study comparing 255 day workers with 184 rotating shift workers. Circulating levels of the biomarkers were measured in duplicate by ELISA using monoclonal specific antibodies. Results Rotating shift workers had elevated (6440+/-4510 pg/mL) (mean+/-SD) circulating levels of resistin in comparison with day workers (5450+/-3780 pg/mL), and significance remains after adjusting for age and blood leukocyte count (p<0.045, ANCOVA). Shift work schedule explains 1% of the proportion of the total variation in the circulating resistin levels. Multiple regression analysis showed that resistin levels significantly correlate with rotating shift work (p<0.04) and blood leukocyte count (p<0.00003) independently of age, BMI, waist-hip ratio, HOMA, and cardiovascular risk %. Circulating levels of sCD40L, MCP-1, and PAI-1 did not significantly differ between day workers and shift workers. Conclusion Shift work schedule was significantly associated with elevated plasma resistin levels. Resistin, which is probably produced by leukocytes, may play an important role in the pathogenesis of early metabolic syndrome components in young men chronically exposed to circadian misalignment.

  • Shift work-related metabolic dysfunction and its consequences, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type II diabetes, potentiate cardiovascular disease development.

    “Shift work-related metabolic dysfunction and the various health consequences thereof, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type II diabetes (discussed above), also potentiate the development of CVD [88,89].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
