The ASSIST trial: Acute effects of manipulating strength exercise volume on insulin sensitivity in obese adults: A protocol for a randomized controlled, crossover, clinical trial. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0302480. [PMID: 38805474 PMCID: PMC11132464 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0302480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease in which insulin action is impaired, and an acute bout of strength exercise can improve insulin sensitivity. Current guidelines for strength exercise prescription suggest that 8 to 30 sets could be performed, although it is not known how variations in exercise volume impact insulin sensitivity. Additionally, this means an almost 4-fold difference in time commitment, which might directly impact an individual's motivation and perceived capacity to exercise. This study will assess the acute effects of high- and low-volume strength exercise sessions on insulin sensitivity. After being thoroughly familiarized, 14 obese individuals of both sexes (>40 year old) will undergo 3 random experimental sessions, with a minimum 4-day washout period between them: a high-volume session (7 exercises, 3 sets per exercise, 21 total sets); a low-volume session (7 exercises, 1 set per exercise, 7 total sets); and a control session, where no exercise will be performed. Psychological assessments (feeling, enjoyment, and self-efficacy) will be performed after the sessions. All sessions will be held at night, and the next morning, an oral glucose tolerance test will be performed in a local laboratory, from which indexes of insulin sensitivity will be derived. We believe this study will aid in strength exercise prescription for individuals who claim not to have time to exercise or who perceive high-volume strength exercise intimidating to adhere to. This trial was prospectively registered (ReBEC #RBR-3vj5dc5 https://ensaiosclinicos.gov.br/rg/RBR-3vj5dc5).

Comparison of the Clinical Utility of Two Insulin Resistance Indices: IRI-HOMA and IRI-Belfiore in Diagnosing Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Complications in Children Based on the Results Obtained for the Polish Population. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2865. [PMID: 38792408 PMCID: PMC11122103 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Recognizing insulin resistance (IR) in children remains challenging due to uncertain IRI-HOMA cut-offs and unclear recommendations for evaluating IR based on OGTT. In our study, we compare the effectiveness of IRI-HOMA and IRI-Belfiore (OGTT-based) in detecting IR and its metabolic complications in children. Methods: The analysis included 553 children who were hospitalized at the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases of the Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital Research Institute (PMMH-RI) in Lodz, Poland, between 2002 and 2018 due to various reasons-of these, 67.5% were girls. All underwent OGTT for glucose and insulin assessment. IR diagnosis relied on IRI-HOMA and IRI-Belfiore. IR based on IRI-HOMA was evaluated using three criteria: (A) >2.5; (B) >2.67 in boys and >2.22 in girls before puberty and >5.22 and >3.82 during puberty, respectively; (C) >95th percentile according to charts for IRI-HOMA in children. Results: Prepubertal children exhibited significantly lower IRI-HOMA and IRI-Belfiore than their pubertal counterparts (p < 0.00005). IRI-HOMA and IRI-Belfiore values positively correlated with age and BMI SDS value (p < 0.000001 for all calculations). As many as 26% to 46.9% of children with normal IRI-HOMA showed elevated IRI-Belfiore, with notably higher levels of triglycerides, a lower HDL cholesterol fraction, and a lower HDL/total cholesterol ratio in this subgroup. Conclusions: A notable proportion of children exhibited elevated IRI-Belfiore levels despite having normal IRI-HOMA values. This suggests the possibility of peripheral IR preceding hepatic IR in children-omitting an OGTT may therefore lead to overlooking cases of IR. Children diagnosed with IR via OGTT displayed significantly poorer lipid profiles compared to those without IR (characterized by normal values in both IRI-HOMA and IRI-Belfiore). This underscores the ability of OGTT-derived IR indices to identify individuals at risk of developing complications associated with obesity and IR before the onset of metabolic syndrome (MS) symptoms. If IR is already detected in children based on fasting glucose and insulin levels (IRI-HOMA), further evaluation may not be warranted, as OGTT results often simply confirm the diagnosis.

Abstract
CONTEXT Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a risk factor for child neurodevelopmental delay. Maternal short sleep duration (SSD) may aggravate glucose metabolism disorder in women with GDM. However, it is unclear whether maternal SSD will further affect the neurodevelopmental outcomes of children. OBJECTIVE To identify the association of GDM complicated with SSD and child neurodevelopmental delay. METHODS This prospective study included 7069 mother-child pairs. Between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation, GDM was based on the 75-g oral-glucose-tolerance test. Self-reported sleep duration was collected via the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire in the second (24-28 weeks) and third (32-36 weeks) trimesters. Outcomes of neurodevelopmental delay in 6 to 36 months postpartum were evaluated using Denver Developmental Screening Test-II and Gesell Development Diagnosis Scale. RESULTS Compared with the unexposed group, women with "GDM + SSD" have the greatest risks of child neurodevelopmental delay (hazard ratio with 95% CI: 1.58 [1.03-2.44]). "GDM + SSD" was associated with the greatest risks of maternal-fetal glucose metabolic disorder. An interquartile ratio (0.58 mmol/L) increase in cord blood C-peptide was associated with the risk of child neurodevelopmental delay (hazard ratio with 95% CI: 1.28 [1.12-1.48]). The stronger linear association of maternal glucose metabolism profiles and C-peptide in women with "GDM + SSD" was also demonstrated. The proportion of association between "GDM + SSD" and child neurodevelopmental delay mediated by C-peptide was 14.4%. CONCLUSION GDM complicated with SSD was associated with increased risk for child neurodevelopmental delay by enhancing the intergenerational association of maternal-fetal glucose metabolism disorder.

Impact of saturated compared with unsaturated dietary fat on insulin sensitivity, pancreatic β-cell function and glucose tolerance: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials. Am J Clin Nutr 2023; 118:739-753. [PMID: 37500058 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.07.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of the dietary fat type on type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unclear. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the effects of replacing dietary saturated fatty acids (SFA) with mono- or poly-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA and PUFA, respectively) on insulin sensitivity, pancreatic β-cell function, and glucose tolerance, as surrogate endpoints for T2D. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that replaced ≥5% of total energy intake provided by SFA with MUFA or PUFA and reported indexes of insulin sensitivity, β-cell function, and/or glucose tolerance. We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library (CENTRAL) up to 9 January, 2023. Eligible interventions had to be isocaloric, with no significant difference in other macronutrients. Data were synthesized using random-effects model meta-analysis. RESULTS Of 6355 records identified, 10 parallel and 20 crossover trials with 1586 participants were included. The mean age of the participants was 42 years, 47% were male, mean body mass index (BMI; in kg/m2) was 26.8, median baseline fasting glucose was 5.13 mmol/L, and the median duration of interventions was 5 weeks. Replacing SFA with MUFA or PUFA had no significant effects on insulin sensitivity [standardized mean difference (SMD) SFA compared with MUFA: 0.01, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.06 to 0.09, I2 = 0% and SMD SFA compared with PUFA: 0, 95% CI: -0.15 to 0.14, I2 = 0%]. Replacing SFA with MUFA did not significantly impact the β-cell function, evaluated by the disposition index (mean difference: -12, 95% CI: -158 to 133, I2=0%). Evidence on glucose tolerance (SFA compared with MUFA or PUFA) and on β-cell function when SFA were replaced with PUFA was scant. CONCLUSIONS Short-term substitution of saturated with unsaturated fat does not significantly affect insulin sensitivity nor β-cell function (the latter in the SFA compared with MUFA comparison). Future studies are needed to elucidate longer term effects of dietary fat saturation on glucose homeostasis. This trial was registered at PROSPERO as CRD42020178382.

A Literature Review and a Proposed Classification of the Relationships between Ovulatory Infertility and Lifestyle Factors Based on the Three Groups of Ovulation Disorders Classified by WHO.

[PMID: 37834919 PMCID: PMC10573907 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12196275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Ovulatory infertility is a serious clinical problem whose direct causes are still largely unknown. In addition to pathologies that make it impossible for a couple to establish a pregnancy, there are a number of other factors that have a bearing on fertility, including lifestyle factors, and particularly diet. Although numerous studies have been performed linking such factors to ovulatory infertility, most of them lack the necessary clinical significance, instead focusing on observational data and suggesting or establishing associative relationships. This article consists of a literature review focusing on connections between lifestyle factors such as diet, physical exercise, oxidative stress, sleep, and supplementation, and ovulatory infertility. Special emphasis was given to issues such as obesity and insulin resistance and their mutual relationship with other factors linked to ovulatory infertility. In addition, based on the conclusions of the literature review, the authors have proposed a classification of relationships between ovulation disorders and lifestyle factors in ovulatory infertility within the framework of the WHO classification of ovulation disorders. Furthermore, areas that merit further research have been indicated as well as those that do not. WHO Group II disorders gained prominence in the results of the study as the number of links with lifestyle factors and ovulatory infertility found in the course of the review greatly exceeded those for Groups I and III. The data presented in the article show that the issues of proper diet and physical exercise are those that could benefit from robust clinical studies focused specifically on ovulation infertility, while studies concerning the relationship between oxidative stress, sleep, and supplementation and ovulatory infertility do not seem to be promising directions as far as clinical significance is concerned.

Abstract
AIM To explore the genetic effects of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2J2, and EPHX2, the key genes involved in epoxyeicosatrienoic acid processing and degradation pathways in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and metabolic traits in Chinese pregnant women. METHODS A total of 2548 unrelated pregnant women were included, of which 938 had GDM and 1610 were considered as controls. Common variants were genotyped using the Infinium Asian Screening Array. Association studies of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with GDM and related traits were performed using logistic regression and multivariable linear regression analyses. A genetic risk score (GRS) model based on 12 independent target SNPs associated with GDM was constructed. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals, adjusting for potential confounders including age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, history of polycystic ovarian syndrome, history of GDM, and family history of diabetes, with GRS entered both as a continuous variable and categorized groups. The relationship between GRS and quantitative traits was also evaluated. RESULTS The 12 SNPs in CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2J2, and EPHX2 were significantly associated with GDM after adjusting for covariates (all P < 0.05). The GRS generated from these SNPs significantly correlated with GDM. Furthermore, a significant interaction between CYP2J2 and CYP2C8 in GDM (PInteraction = 0.014, ORInteraction= 0.61, 95%CI 0.41-0.90) was observed. CONCLUSION We found significant associations between GDM susceptibility and 12 SNPs of the four genes involved in epoxyeicosatrienoic acid processing and degradation pathways in a Chinese population. Subjects with a higher GRS showed higher GDM susceptibility with higher fasting plasma glucose and area under the curve of glucose and poorer β-cell function.

Abstract
CONTEXT The "carbohydrate-insulin model" claims that adipose tissue insulin sensitivity explains development of obesity via adipocyte energy storage and/or low postprandial metabolic fuel levels. OBJECTIVE We tested whether adipose tissue insulin sensitivity predicts changes in the degree of obesity over time. METHODS This secondary analysis of an observational study of youth with obesity included 213 youths at a pediatric weight management clinic. Adipose tissue insulin sensitivity/resistance and whole-body insulin sensitivity were evaluated using oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-derived surrogates in the face of changes in the degree of obesity over time. The main outcome measure was change in body mass index (BMI) z score. RESULTS Mean BMI z change was 0.05 ± 0.28 (range, -1.15 to 1.19), representing a broad distribution of changes in the degree of obesity over a follow-up period of 1.88 ± 1.27 years. Adipose tissue insulin resistance was not associated with changes in the degree of obesity in univariate or multivariate analyses (adjusted for baseline age, BMI z score, sex, ethnicity, and time of follow-up). Low postprandial free fatty acid concentrations or their suppression during the OGTT were not associated with changes in the degree of obesity in univariate or multivariate analyses. Whole-body insulin sensitivity was not associated with changes in the degree of obesity in univariate or multivariate analyses. CONCLUSION In this secondary analysis, in youth with obesity, adipose tissue insulin resistance is not protective from increases of the degree of obesity and skeletal muscle insulin resistance is not associated with increases of the degree of obesity.The analysis was performed using data derived from NCT00000112 and NCT00536250.

Niu J, Lu M, Liu B. Association between insulin resistance and abnormal menstrual cycle in Chinese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. J Ovarian Res 2023; 16:45. [PMID: 36823522 PMCID: PMC9948335 DOI: 10.1186/s13048-023-01122-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrine disorder, which is characterized by insulin resistance (IR) and menstrual cycle disorders. IR is thought of as a pivotal cause of PCOS and related comorbidities. However, the link between IR and abnormal menstrual cycles in PCOS should be further studied. In this study, we clarified the dose-response relationship between IR and abnormal menstrual cycles in patients with PCOS. RESULTS In this retrospective study including 140 patients with PCOS, we found that there was a dose-response relationship between the increased HOMA-IR index and the level of menstrual cycle disorders (1.61 [95%CI: 1.37-1.85] for normal menstruation, 2.02 [95%CI: 1.61-2.44] for oligomenorrhea, 2.35 [95%CI:1.96-2.75] for amenorrhea, P for trend = 0.003). Further stratification analyses showed that this dose-response relationship was more evident in the patients who were younger, had higher BMI, higher AFC numbers, elevated levels of testosterone, anti-Müllerian hormone, inhibin B, and prolactin levels, and had a lower progestogen level. CONCLUSIONS Our study has established an association between IR and abnormal menstrual cycles in patients with PCOS, which can be affected by age, BMI, and hormone levels. Our results might be helpful for further prevention and treatment of amenorrhea in PCOS.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032149.

Abstract
Obesity is a risk factor for preeclampsia. We investigated how obesity influences preeclampsia in mice lacking ankyrin-repeat-and-SOCS-box-containing-protein 4 (ASB4), which promotes trophoblast differentiation via degrading the inhibitor of DNA-binding protein 2 (ID2). Asb4-/- mice on normal chow (NC) develop mild preeclampsia-like phenotypes during pregnancy, including hypertension, proteinuria, and reduced litter size. Wild-type (WT) and Asb4-/- females were placed on a high-fat diet (HFD) starting at weaning. At the age of 8-9 weeks, they were mated with WT or Asb4-/- males, and preeclamptic phenotypes were assessed. HFD-WT dams had no obvious adverse outcomes of pregnancy. In contrast, HFD-Asb4-/- dams had significantly more severe preeclampsia-like phenotypes compared to NC-Asb4-/- dams. The HFD increased white fat weights and plasma leptin and insulin levels in Asb4-/- females. In the HFD-Asb4-/- placenta, ID2 amounts doubled without changing the transcript levels, indicating that insulin likely increases ID2 at a level of post-transcription. In human first-trimester trophoblast HTR8/SVneo cells, exposure to insulin, but not to leptin, led to a significant increase in ID2. HFD-induced obesity markedly worsens the preeclampsia-like phenotypes in the absence of ASB4. Our data indicate that hyperinsulinemia perturbs the timely removal of ID2 and interferes with proper trophoblast differentiation, contributing to enhanced preeclampsia.

Cardiovasc Diabetol 2022; 21:215. [PMID: 36258194 PMCID: PMC9580191 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-022-01649-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) has been proposed as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance, which is a typical trait of pregnancy. However, very few studies analyzed TyG performance as marker of insulin resistance in pregnancy, and they were limited to insulin resistance assessment at fasting rather than in dynamic conditions, i.e., during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which allows more reliable assessment of the actual insulin sensitivity impairment. Thus, first aim of the study was exploring in pregnancy the relationships between TyG and OGTT-derived insulin sensitivity. In addition, we developed a new version of TyG, for improved performance as marker of insulin resistance in pregnancy. Methods At early pregnancy, a cohort of 109 women underwent assessment of maternal biometry and blood tests at fasting, for measurements of several variables (visit 1). Subsequently (26 weeks of gestation) all visit 1 analyses were repeated (visit 2), and a subgroup of women (84 selected) received a 2 h-75 g OGTT (30, 60, 90, and 120 min sampling) with measurement of blood glucose, insulin and C-peptide for reliable assessment of insulin sensitivity (PREDIM index) and insulin secretion/beta-cell function. The dataset was randomly split into 70% training set and 30% test set, and by machine learning approach we identified the optimal model, with TyG included, showing the best relationship with PREDIM. For inclusion in the model, we considered only fasting variables, in agreement with TyG definition. Results The relationship of TyG with PREDIM was weak. Conversely, the improved TyG, called TyGIS, (linear function of TyG, body weight, lean body mass percentage and fasting insulin) resulted much strongly related to PREDIM, in both training and test sets (R2 > 0.64, p < 0.0001). Bland–Altman analysis and equivalence test confirmed the good performance of TyGIS in terms of association with PREDIM. Different further analyses confirmed TyGIS superiority over TyG. Conclusions We developed an improved version of TyG, as new surrogate marker of insulin sensitivity in pregnancy (TyGIS). Similarly to TyG, TyGIS relies only on fasting variables, but its performances are remarkably improved than those of TyG.

Abstract
AIMS Few studies have constructed a genetic risk score (GRS) to predict the risk of gestaional diabetes mellitus (GDM). We tested the hypothesis that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) confirmed for diabetes and obesity and the GRS are associated with GDM. METHODS We conducted a case-control study comprising 971 GDM cases and 1682 controls from the University of Hong Kong Shenzhen Hospital. A total of 1448 SNPs reported with type 2 diabetes (T2D), type 1 diabetes (T1D), and obesity were selected and the GRS based on SNPs associated with GDM was created. RESULTS We confirmed that rs10830963 (OR = 1.41,95% CI = 1.25, 1.59) in MTNR1B and rs2206734 (OR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.22, 1.55) in CDKAL1 were strongly associated with the risk of GDM. Compared with participants with GRS based on T2D SNPs in the low tertile, the ORs of GDM across increasing GRS tertiles were 1.63 (95% CI 1.29, 2.06) and 2.72 (95% CI 2.18, 3.38) in the middle and high tertile, respectively. The positive associations between the GRS and the risk of GDM were also observed in GRS based on obesity/waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)/body mass index (BMI) SNPs. The resulting GRS for each allele increase was significantly associated with higher glycemic indices and lower HOMA-B values for GRS based on T2D SNPs, but not for GRS based on T1D SNPs and GRS based on obesity/WHR/BMI SNPs. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that GDM may share a common genetic background with T2D and obesity and that SNPs associated with insulin secretion defects have a vital role in the development of GDM.

Abstract
CONTEXT Excess hepatic and pancreatic fat may contribute to hyperglycemia. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine the effect of dapagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) on anthropometric profile, liver, and pancreatic fat in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS This is an observational interventional paired study design without a control group. Patients (n = 30) were given dapagliflozin 10 mg/day (on top of stable dose of metformin and/or sulfonylureas) for 120 days. Changes in anthropometry (circumferences and skinfold thickness), surrogate markers of insulin resistance, body composition, liver, and pancreatic fat (as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived proton density fat fraction [FF]) were evaluated. RESULTS After 120 days of treatment with dapagliflozin, a statistically significant reduction in weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat, circumferences, and all skinfold thickness was seen. A statistically significant reduction in blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin A1c, hepatic transaminases, fasting insulin, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and postprandial C-peptide was noted, while HOMA-β, postprandial insulin sensitivity, and fasting adiponectin were statistically significantly increased. There was no change in lean body mass. Compared to baseline there was a statistically significant decrease in mean liver FF (from 15.2% to 10.1%, P < .0001) and mean pancreatic FF (from 7.5% to 5.99%, P < .0083). Reduction in liver fat was statistically significant after adjustment for change in body weight. CONCLUSION Dapagliflozin, after 120 days of use, reduced pancreatic and liver fat and increased insulin sensitivity in Asian Indian patients with T2DM.

Abstract
The mechanisms of diabetogenesis in children remain largely obscure. This study aimed to determine the impact of vitamin D and calcium supplementation on pancreatic β-cells function in terms of insulin secretion and sensitivity. This was a quasi-experimental study involving 30 obese and prepubescent Tunisian children (57% boys). During three months, the children received calcium and vitamin D supplementation at therapeutic doses. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed at the beginning and at the end of the study. The following metabolic definitions were applied: i) hyperinsulinism: insulinemia sum > 300 μ UI/ml during OGTT, ii) insulin-resistance: homeostatic model assessment of insulin-resistance > 2, iii) normal glycaemic profile: normal plasma levels during OGTT without any spike, and iv) pancreatic β-cells dysfunction reversibility: disappearance of the aforementioned disorders. The means ± standard-deviation of age and body mass index were 10.87 ± 1.9 years, and 30.17 ± 4.99 kg/m2, respectively. All children were at the stage of hyperinsulinism associated with insulin-resistance. These disturbances were noted even in children having a normal glycaemic profile at OGTT. After calcium and vitamin D supplementation, glycaemic profile as well as insulin-secretion improved significantly (p < 0.0001). Hyperinsulinism and insulin-resistance decreased significantly by 56.67% (p < 0.0001) and 70.00% (p < 0.0001), respectively. Complete reversibility of these two disorders was noted in 26.6% of children. To conclude, in obese and prepubescent children, vitamin D and calcium supplementation led to the reversibility of the pancreatic β-cells dysfunction.

Abstract
Obesity is a key player in the onset and progression of insulin resistance (IR), a state by which insulin-sensitive cells fail to adequately respond to insulin action. IR is a reversible condition, but if untreated leads to type 2 diabetes alongside increasing cardiovascular risk. The link between obesity and IR has been widely investigated; however, some aspects are still not fully characterized.In this chapter, we introduce key aspects of the pathophysiology of IR and its intimate connection with obesity. Specifically, we focus on the role of adipose tissue dysfunction (quantity, quality, and distribution) as a driver of whole-body IR. Furthermore, we discuss the obesity-related lipidomic remodeling occurring in adipose tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle. Key mechanisms linking lipotoxicity to IR in different tissues and metabolic alterations (i.e., fatty liver and diabetes) and the effect of weight loss on IR are also reported while highlighting knowledge gaps.

Abstract
AIMS As the first long-term RCT on insoluble cereal fibre, the optimal fibre trial demonstrated glycometabolic benefits, confirming cohort studies. The combined study intervention of lifestyle recommendations and supplementation with insoluble oat hulls fibre allows to clarify, which amount of fibre is required for a beneficial effect. METHODS One hundred and eighty participants with impaired glucose tolerance underwent the one-year PREDIAS lifestyle programme and received a blinded, randomized fibre or placebo supplement for two years. We conducted a regression analyses and cut-off-based tertile comparisons in subjects with full data on dietary compliance (food records and accounted supplement; n = 120) after one year, investigating effects on fasting blood parameters, oral glucose tolerance test and anthropometry. RESULTS We found a nonlinear inverse relation between fibre intake and change in postprandial 2-h glucose levels, showing a metabolic benefit beyond 14 g and a plateau beyond 25 g of total insoluble fibre per day. 2-h glucose levels improved significantly stronger in both upper tertiles (-0.9 [-1.6;-0.2] mmol/l, p = 0.047, and -0.6 [-1.6;0.3] mmol/l, p = 0.010) compared to the lowest tertile (0.1 [-1.2;1.1] mmol/l), also when adjusted for changes in bodyweight. Subjects with the highest fibre intake showed superior effects on fasting and postprandial insulin resistance, hepatic insulin clearance, leucocyte count and fatty liver index. CONCLUSIONS Extending the knowledge on the benefits of insoluble oat hulls fibre, our post hoc analysis demonstrates a dose effect for glycaemia and associated metabolic markers. Further research is needed in order to replicate our findings in larger trials.

Potential Risk Factors for Isolated Hypothyroxinemia in Women of Childbearing Age-Results from Retrospective Analysis. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10225384. [PMID: 34830664 PMCID: PMC8617839 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10225384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Isolated hypothyroxinemia (IH) unfavorably affects reproduction. This study aimed to evaluate retrospectively if any routinely measured clinical/laboratory parameters are associated with IH among women of childbearing age hospitalized in the endocrine department. A group of 466 female non-pregnant inpatients (age range 13-57 years) was considered. IH (decreased free thyroxine (FT4) with normal TSH) was found in 8/466 patients (1.72%). Vitamin D deficiency (<30 ng/mL) was found in all patients with IH, whereas severe Vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) was found in 5/6. Vitamin D concentration was lower in IH females. FT4 concentration was lower in patients with severe vitamin D deficiency and correlated positively with vitamin D concentration. Insulin resistance index (IRI) was increased (>1.25) in 5/6 patients with IH. IRI was higher in IH patients and it was the only independent linear factor for IH in the univariate regression. FT4 concentration was lower in patients with increased IRI and correlated negatively with IRI. FT4 concentration correlated negatively with body mass index (BMI) and LDL cholesterol or triglycerides, and positively with HDL cholesterol or HDLC/cholesterol ratio. Vitamin D deficiency, insulin resistance and increased BMI (as potential causative factors), and abnormal lipid profile (as a possible consequence), are associated with IH in women of childbearing age. Eliminating risk factors for hypothyroxinemia may improve reproductive health.

Abstract
AIMS Insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion can be estimated by multiple indices from fasting blood samples or blood samples obtained during oral glucose tolerance tests. The test-retest reliability of these indices in repeated measurements within the same individuals can strongly vary. METHODS We analyzed data of persons without diabetes who underwent two repeated OGTTs. For each measurement pair, we calculated multiple commonly used indices for the assessment of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. We then evaluated the coefficient of variation (standard deviation/mean) and discriminant ratio for each index. RESULTS 89 persons underwent two OGTTs with a median interval of 86 days (IQR 64-249). Among indices of insulin sensitivity derived from fasting blood samples, the revised quantitative insulin sensitivity check index had the smallest coefficient of variation (2.8 ± 2.1%) whereas the C-peptide based homeostasis model assessment 2 had the highest discriminant ratio (1.97 (1.65-2.39)). As for insulin sensitivity indices that are based on OGTT, the oral glucose insulin sensitivity index had the smallest coefficient of variation (6.5 ± 5.1%). The highest discriminant ratio was found for the non-esterified fatty acids-based insulin sensitivity index (NEFA-ISI, 2.70 (2.30-3.22)). For the assessment of insulin secretion from fasting variables, the lowest mean coefficient of variation was found for C-peptide based homeostasis model assessment 2 beta with 10.8 ± 8% and the highest discriminant ratio for the C-peptide / Glucose-Ratio (2.18 (1.84-2.63)). Among indices assessing insulin secretion from an OGTT, the lowest coefficient of variation was found for the ratio of the areas under the C-peptide and glucose curves from 0 to 120 minutes with 11.3 ± 9.7%. CONCLUSION The data reveal large differences in the reproducibility and the discrimination capability of different indices that assess insulin sensitivity or insulin secretion. Our findings can aid the selection of an appropriate index in clinical studies.

Abstract
The impaired insulin secretion and increased insulin resistance (or decreased insulin sensitivity) play a major role in the pathogenesis of all types of diabetes mellitus (DM). It is very important to assess the pancreatic β-cell function and insulin resistance/ sensitivity to determine the type of DM and to plan an optimal management and prevention strategy for DM. So far, various methods and indices have been developed to assess the β-cell function and insulin resistance/sensitivity based on static, dynamic test and calculation of their results. In fact, since the metabolism of glucose and insulin is made through a complex process related with various stimuli in several tissues, it is difficult to fully reflect the real physiology. In order to solve the theoretical and practical difficulties, research on new index is still in progress. Also, it is important to select the appropriate method and index for the purpose of use and clinical situation. This review summarized a variety of traditional methods and indices to evaluate pancreatic β-cell function and insulin resistance/sensitivity and introduced novel indices.

Abstract
Technology advances have made possible improvements such as Continuous Glucose Monitors, giving the patient a glucose reading every few minutes, or insulin pumps, allowing more personalized therapies. With the increasing number of available closed-loop systems, new challenges appear regarding algorithms and functionalities. Several of the analysed systems in this paper try to adapt to changes in some patients’ conditions and, in several of these systems, other variables such as basal needs are considered fixed from day to day to simplify the control problem. Therefore, these systems require a correct adjustment of the basal needs profile which becomes crucial to obtain good results. In this paper a novel approach tries to dynamically determine the insulin basal needs of the patient and use this information within a closed-loop algorithm, allowing the system to dynamically adjust in situations of illness, exercise, high-fat-content meals or even partially blocked infusion sites and avoiding the need for setting a basal profile that approximately matches the basal needs of the patient. The insulin sensitivity factor and the glycemic target are also dynamically modified according to the situation of the patient. Basal insulin needs are dynamically determined through linear regression via the decomposition of previously dosed insulin and its effect on the patient’s glycemia. Using the obtained value as basal insulin needs and other mechanisms such as basal needs modification through its trend, ISF and glycemic targets modification and low-glucose-suspend threshold, the safety of the algorithm is improved. The dynamic basal insulin needs determination was successfully included in a closed-loop control algorithm and was simulated on 30 virtual patients (10 adults, 10 adolescent and 10 children) using an open-source python implementation of the FDA-approved (Food and Drug Administration) UVa (University of Virginia)/Padova Simulator. Simulations showed that the proposed system dynamically determines the basal needs and can adapt to a partial blockage of the insulin infusion, obtaining similar results in terms of time in range to the case in which no blockage was simulated. The proposed algorithm can be incorporated to other current closed-loop control algorithms to directly estimate the patient’s basal insulin needs or as a monitoring channel to detect situations in which basal needs may differ from the expected ones.

Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are rapidly increasing in the adolescent population. We sought to determine whether adipokines, specifically leptin, C1q/TNF-related proteins 1 (CTRP1) and CTRP9, and the hepatokine fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), are associated with obesity and hyperglycemia in a cohort of lean and obese adolescents, across the spectrum of glycemia. In an observational, longitudinal study of lean and obese adolescents, we measured fasting laboratory tests, oral glucose tolerance tests, and adipokines including leptin, CTRP1, CTRP9, and FGF21. Participants completed baseline and 2-year follow-up study visits and were categorized as lean (LC, lean control; n = 30), obese normoglycemic (ONG; n = 61), and obese hyperglycemic (OHG; n = 31) adolescents at baseline and lean (n = 8), ONG (n = 18), and OHG (n = 4) at follow-up. Groups were compared using ANOVA and regression analysis, and linear mixed effects modeling was used to test for differences in adipokine levels across baseline and follow-up visits. Results showed that at baseline, leptin was higher in all obese groups (P < 0.001) compared with LC. FGF21 was higher in OHG participants compared with LC (P < 0.001) and ONG (P < 0.001) and positively associated with fasting glucose (P < 0.001), fasting insulin (P < 0.001), Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance Index (HOMA-IR; P < 0.001), and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c; P = 0.01). CTRP1 was higher in OHG compared with ONG (P = 0.03). CTRP9 was not associated with obesity or hyperglycemia in this pediatric cohort. At 2 years, leptin decreased in ONG (P = 0.003) and FGF21 increased in OHG (P = 0.02), relative to lean controls. Altered adipokine levels are associated with the inflammatory milieu in obese youth with and without hyperglycemia. In adolescence, the novel adipokine CTRP1 was elevated with hyperglycemia, whereas CTRP9 was unchanged in this cohort.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Leptin is higher in obese adolescents and FGF21 is higher in obese hyperglycemic adolescents. The novel adipokine CTRP1 is higher in obese hyperglycemic adolescents, whereas CTRP9 was unchanged in this adolescent cohort.

Abstract
SCOPE The Optimal Fibre Trial (OptiFiT) investigates metabolic effects of insoluble cereal fibre in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), showing moderate glycemic and anti-inflammatory benefits, especially in subjects with an obesity-related phenotype. An OptiFiT sub-group is analysed for effects on body fat distribution. METHODS AND RESULTS 180 participants with IGT receive a blinded, randomized supplementation with insoluble cereal fibre or placebo for 2 years. Once a year, all subjects undergo fasting blood sampling, oral glucose tolerance test, and anthropometric measurements. A subgroup (n=47) also received magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy for quantification of adipose tissue distribution and liver fat content. We compared MR, metabolic and inflammatory outcomes between fibre and placebo group metabolism and inflammation. Visceral and non-visceral fat, fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, insulin resistance, and uric acid decrease only in the fibre group, mirroring effects of the entire cohort. However, after adjustment for weight loss, there are no significant between-group differences. There is a statistical trend for fibre-driven liver fat reduction in subjects with confirmed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD; n = 19). CONCLUSIONS Data and evidence on beneficial effects of insoluble cereal fibre on visceral and hepatic fatstorage is limited, but warrants further research. Targeted trials are required.

Abstract
The Ecuadorian cohort of subjects with LS has taught us valuable lessons since the late 80's. We have learned about migration of Sephardic Jews to our country, their isolation in remote hamlets and further inbreeding. These geographical, historical and social determinants induced dissemination of a growth hormone (GH) receptor mutation which widely occurred in those almost inaccessible villages. Consequently, the world's largest Laron syndrome (LS) cohort emerged in Loja and El Oro, two of the southern provinces of Ecuador. We have been fortunate to study these patients since 1987. New clinical features derived from GH insensitivity, their growth patterns as well as treatment with exogenous insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) have been reported. Novel biochemical characteristics in the field of GH insensitivity, IGFs, IGF binding proteins (BP) and their clinical correlates have also been described. In the last few years, studies on the morbidity and mortality of Ecuadorian LS adults surprisingly demonstrated that despite obesity, they had lower incidence of diabetes and cancer than their relatives. These events were linked to their metabolic phenotype of elevated but ineffective GH concentrations and low circulating IGF-I and IGFBP-3. It was also noted that absent GH counter-regulation induces a decrease in insulin resistance (IR), which results in low but highly efficient insulin levels which properly handle metabolic substrates. We propose that the combination of low IGF-I signaling, decreased IR, and efficient serum insulin concentrations are reasonable explanations for the diminished incidence of diabetes and cancer in these subjects.

Comparison of twenty indices of insulin sensitivity in predicting type 2 diabetes in Japanese Americans: The Japanese American Community Diabetes Study. J Diabetes Complications 2020; 34:107731. [PMID: 33012601 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2020.107731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Revised: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
AIMS We compared 20 previously reported indices of insulin sensitivity derived from samples during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to determine which was best in predicting incident type 2 diabetes. METHODS We prospectively followed 418 Japanese Americans without diabetes for 10-11 years. We compared ability to predict incident diabetes of 20 insulin sensitivity indices-9 based on fasting samples, 7 based on 2-h and/or fasting samples, and 4 based on multiple samples (0, 30, 60, 120 min) during an OGTT-by integrated discrimination improvement, category free net reclassification improvement, and area under the receiver operator characteristic curve. RESULTS There were 95 incident cases of diabetes. The Cederholm and Gutt indices, requiring more than only fasting samples, were the best to predict incident diabetes as judged by integrated discrimination improvement (0.187, 0.184), category free net reclassification improvement (0.962, 1.030), and area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (0.864, 0.863, respectively). Fasting indices were clearly inferior to both the Cederholm and Gutt indices. CONCLUSIONS Among the 20 indices, the Cederholm and Gutt indices predicted diabetes best but the Gutt index may be preferable because it requires fewer samples during an OGTT.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with obesity and risk for type 2 diabetes. In this community-based study, we thoroughly investigated fatty acid metabolism, incretin response, glucose tolerance, insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity, and autonomic nerve activity in men with or without OSA. METHODS Fifteen men without diabetes but with signs of severe OSA, defined as apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) >30, and 15 age- and BMI-matched men without OSA (AHI < 5) were recruited from a community-based cohort. Assessments included clinical and anthropometric measurements, a 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and autonomic nerve activity using heart rate variability (HRV). RESULTS Men with OSA had higher body fat % than BMI-matched men without OSA (p = 0.046) and it was associated with markers of insulin resistance. The area under the curve for nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) during OGTT was higher in men with OSA (p = 0.021) and fasting NEFA levels were numerically higher (p = 0.097). The plasma glucose at fasting and during OGTT was higher in men with OSA (p < 0.001). Incretin response was similar between groups. Fasting and OGTT-derived indices indicated impaired insulin sensitivity in men with OSA. Compared with men without OSA, Matsuda index (p = 0.068) and Gutt index (p < 0.01) were lower in men with OSA. The HRV measures did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that fatty acid handling, glucose tolerance, and insulin sensitivity are impaired in men with severe OSA. This might partly be explained by the increased body fat percentage.

Abstract
The growth processes in children depend on the proper functioning of some hormones and growth factors. Recently, a positive correlation between ghrelin and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) in patients with hyper- and hypothyroidism was proved. Moreover, in hypothyroid rats with high ghrelin concentration, growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) secretion was suppressed. We analyzed these relationships in euthyroid prepubertal children with idiopathic short stature (ISS). The analysis comprised concentration of ghrelin, GH in stimulating tests and during the night, as well as IGF-I, TSH, free thyroxine (FT4) and free triiodothyronine (FT3) in 85 children with ISS (36 girls, 49 boys) aged 9.65 ± 3.02 years (mean ± SD). A strong positive correlation between ghrelin and TSH was confirmed (r = +0.44, p < 0.05). A higher ghrelin but lower nocturnal GH and lower IGF-I were observed in children with higher normal TSH concentration than those in children with lower normal TSH. Interestingly, alterations of TSH level were without any impact on FT4 and FT3 concentrations. Summing up, in ISS prepubertal euthyroid children, ghrelin and TSH secretion are closely related. On the other hand, the higher the TSH, the lower the nocturnal GH and IGF-I levels. The contribution of the above findings in deterioration of growth processes requires further studies.

Metabolic Footprint, towards Understanding Type 2 Diabetes beyond Glycemia. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9082588.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) heterogeneity is a major determinant of complications risk and treatment response. Using cluster analysis, we aimed to stratify glycemia within metabolic multidimensionality and extract pathophysiological insights out of metabolic profiling. We performed a cluster analysis to stratify 974 subjects (PREVADIAB2 cohort) with normoglycemia, prediabetes, or non-treated diabetes. The algorithm was informed by age, anthropometry, and metabolic milieu (glucose, insulin, C-peptide, and free fatty acid (FFA) levels during the oral glucose tolerance test OGTT). For cluster profiling, we additionally used indexes of metabolism mechanisms (e.g., tissue-specific insulin resistance, insulin clearance, and insulin secretion), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We found prominent heterogeneity within two optimal clusters, mainly representing normometabolism (Cluster-I) or insulin resistance and NAFLD (Cluster-II), at higher granularity. This was illustrated by sub-clusters showing similar NAFLD prevalence but differentiated by glycemia, FFA, and GFR (Cluster-II). Sub-clusters with similar glycemia and FFA showed dissimilar insulin clearance and secretion (Cluster-I). This work reveals that T2D heterogeneity can be captured by a thorough metabolic milieu and mechanisms profiling—metabolic footprint. It is expected that deeper phenotyping and increased pathophysiology knowledge will allow to identify subject’s multidimensional profile, predict their progression, and treat them towards precision medicine.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Individuals affected with two genetic syndromes identified in Ecuador have severe short stature and diminished insulin secretion, along with essentially different GH counterregulatory effects on insulin action, which leads to the appearance of opposing metabolic phenotypes. In the case of Laron syndrome, subjects have enhanced insulin sensitivity and diminished incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the other clinical entity, individuals have innate insulin resistance, a varying degree of carbohydrate metabolism disturbances, glucose intolerance, and eventually insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus. Since both groups have diminished insulin secretion, the standard homeostatic minimal models for assessment of insulin sensitivity and resistance were used to see if they could properly identify the metabolic status, especially considering that these methodologies are simple and non-invasive procedures. METHODS Fasting insulin concentrations, fasting glucose/fasting insulin ratio and various minimal models were determined in individuals from the two syndromic cohorts, as well as in a control group made of first-degree normal relatives of the insulin-resistant phenotype subjects. RESULTS The metabolic characteristics of enhanced insulin sensitivity in one of the syndromes and innate insulin resistance in the other could not be properly ascertained by the selected methodology. Furthermore, results were confusing and even discrepant with the clinical findings. CONCLUSIONS The standard homeostatic minimal models could not properly identify or discriminate insulin sensitivity and resistance in subjects with inherently diminished secretion. It is thereby suggested that these models should be used with caution in clinical situations where reduced secretion of the metabolic peptide is found or suspected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown conflicting findings regarding the relation of vitamin D status and supplementation during pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Most of these studies hypothesized that 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations were associated with GDM risk and glucose metabolism based on linear association models. OBJECTIVES We aimed to estimate the associations of 25(OH)D concentrations and vitamin D supplementation with GDM risk and glucose metabolism and determine the threshold concentrations of 25(OH)D that could significantly affect glucose metabolism and GDM risk. METHODS In a prospective birth cohort study, we collected information about sociodemographic characteristics, health status, and lifestyle from 4984 pregnant women. Vitamin D supplementation and 25(OH)D concentrations were assessed in the second trimester. Data from the 75-g oral-glucose-tolerance test were obtained at 24-28 weeks of gestation. RESULTS A total of 922 (18.5%) women were diagnosed with GDM. Compared with women with 25(OH)D concentrations <25 nmol/L, the GDM risk was significantly lower in women with 25(OH)D concentrations ranging from 50 to 75 nmol/L (RR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.58, 0.95) and >75 nmol/L (RR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.22, 0.70). The curve-fitting models suggested a significant large reduction in GDM risk, fasting plasma glucose, and area under the curve of glucose with increasing 25(OH)D concentrations only for concentrations >50 nmol/L. Consistently, GDM risk was significantly reduced only in women who took 400-600 IU vitamin D/d (RR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.70, 0.97) with a mean 25(OH)D concentration of 50 nmol/L but not in women taking vitamin D sometimes with a mean 25(OH)D concentration of 40 nmol/L. CONCLUSIONS GDM risk was significantly reduced only in pregnant women with 25(OH)D concentrations >50 nmol/L. Pregnant women taking 400-600 IU vitamin D/d with mean 25(OH)D concentrations of 50 nmol/L had a lower risk of GDM.

Abstract
AIMS This study aims to assess insulin secretion and resistance through oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) among young Japanese individuals. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We enrolled 595 young healthy Japanese individuals aged 22-29 years. They underwent an OGTT, and their results were divided into 4 groups (I-IV), according to the time at which their plasma glucose concentration declined below the fasting glucose concentration (30, 60 or 120 minutes or never as groups I, II, III and IV, respectively). RESULTS We classified 575 normal glucose-tolerant subjects into 4 groups (I-IV) with I: 28 (4.9%), II: 120 (20.9%), III: 143 (24.9%) and IV: 284 (49.4%) individuals. The Matsuda, insulinogenic and disposition indices were decreased from groups I to IV. ROC curves of disposition index reflecting the composition of insulin secretion and sensitivity classified the prolonged glucose elevation group (group III + IV) from the rapid glucose lowering group (group II; AUC = 0.847). CONCLUSIONS Even in a young and healthy Japanese individual within the physiological range of glycaemic control, there is a sequential decrease in insulin sensitivity and secretion.

Obesity Does Not Modulate the Glycometabolic Benefit of Insoluble Cereal Fibre in Subjects with Prediabetes-A Stratified Post Hoc Analysis of the Optimal Fibre Trial (OptiFiT). Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11112726. [PMID: 31717901 PMCID: PMC6893443 DOI: 10.3390/nu11112726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2019] [Revised: 10/18/2019] [Accepted: 10/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Obesity does not modulate the glycometabolic benefit of insoluble cereal fibre in subjects with prediabetes—a stratified post hoc analysis of the Optimal Fibre Trial (OptiFiT). Background: OptiFiT demonstrated the beneficial effect of insoluble oat fibres on dysglycemia in prediabetes. Recent analyses of OptiFiT and other randomised controlled trials (RCTs) indicated that this effect might be specific for the subgroup of patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG). As subjects with IFG are more often obese, there is a need to clarify if the effect modulation is actually driven by glycemic state or body mass index (BMI). Aim: We conducted a stratified post hoc analysis of OptiFiT based on the presence or absence of obesity. Methods: 180 Caucasian participants with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) were randomised in a double-blinded fashion to either twice-a-day fibre or placebo supplementation for 2 years (n = 89 and 91, respectively). Once a year, they underwent fasting blood sampling, an oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) and full anthropometry. At baseline, out of 136 subjects who completed the first year of intervention, 87 (62%) were classified as OBESE (BMI >30) and 49 subjects were NONOBESE. We performed a stratified per-protocol analysis of the primary glycemic and secondary metabolic effects attributable to dietary fibre supplementation after 1 year of intervention. Results: Neither the NONOBESE nor the OBESE subgroup showed significant differences between the respective fibre and placebo groups in metabolic, anthropometric or inflammatory outcomes. None of the four subgroups showed a significant improvement in either fasting glucose or glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) after 1 year of intervention and only OBESE fibre subjects improved 2 h glucose. Within the NONOBESE stratum, there were no significant differences in the change of primary or secondary metabolic parameters between the fibre and placebo arms. We found a significant interaction effect for leukocyte count (time × supplement × obesity status). Within the OBESE stratum, leukocyte count and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels decreased more in the fibre group compared with placebo (adjusted for change in body weight). Comparison of both fibre groups revealed that OBESE subjects had a significantly stronger benefit with respect to leukocyte count and fasting C-peptide levels than NONOBESE participants. Only the effect on leukocyte count survived correction for multiple comparisons. In contrast, under placebo conditions, NONOBESE subjects managed to decrease their body fat content significantly more than OBESE ones. Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis resulted in similar outcomes. Conclusions: The state of obesity does not relevantly modulate the beneficial effect of cereal fibre on major glycometabolic parameters by fibre supplementation, but leukocyte levels may be affected. Hence, BMI is not a suitable parameter to stratify this cohort with respect to diabetes risk or responsiveness to cereal fibre, but obesity needs to be accounted for when assessing anti-inflammatory effects of fibre treatments. Targeted diabetes prevention should focus on the actual metabolic state rather than on mere obesity.

Fasting Glucose State Determines Metabolic Response to Supplementation with Insoluble Cereal Fibre: A Secondary Analysis of the Optimal Fibre Trial (OptiFiT). Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11102385. [PMID: 31590438 PMCID: PMC6835423 DOI: 10.3390/nu11102385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2019] [Revised: 09/28/2019] [Accepted: 10/01/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: High intake of cereal fibre is associated with reduced risk for type 2 diabetes and long-term complications. Within the first long-term randomized controlled trial specifically targeting cereal fibre, the Optimal Fibre Trial (OptiFiT), intake of insoluble oat fibre was shown to significantly reduce glycaemia. Previous studies suggested that this effect might be limited to subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG). Aim: We stratified the OptiFiT cohort for normal and impaired fasting glucose (NFG, IFG) and conducted a secondary analysis comparing the effects of fibre supplementation between these subgroups. Methods: 180 Caucasian participants with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) were randomized to twice-a-day fibre or placebo supplementation for 2 years (n = 89 and 91, respectively), while assuring double-blinded intervention. Fasting blood sampling, oral glucose tolerance test and full anthropometry were assessed annually. At baseline, out of 136 subjects completing the first year of intervention, 72 (54%) showed IFG and IGT, while 64 subjects had IGT only (labelled “NFG”). Based on these two groups, we performed a stratified per-protocol analysis of glycometabolic and secondary effects during the first year of intervention. Results: The NFG group did not show significant differences between fibre and placebo group concerning anthropometric, glycometabolic, or other biochemical parameters. Within the IFG stratum, 2-h glucose, HbA1c, and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels decreased more in the fibre group, with a significant supplement x IFG interaction effect for HbA1c. Compared to NFG subjects, IFG subjects had larger benefits from fibre supplementation with respect to fasting glucose levels. Results were robust against adjustment for weight change and sex. An ITT analysis did not reveal any differences from the per-protocol analysis. Conclusions: Although stratification resulted in relatively small subgroups, we were able to pinpoint our previous findings from the entire cohort to the IFG subgroup. Cereal fibre can beneficially affect glycemic metabolism, with most pronounced or even isolated effectiveness in subjects with impaired fasting glucose.

[PMID: 31364177 DOI: 10.1002/lipd.12182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2018] [Revised: 06/17/2019] [Accepted: 07/08/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
GW501516-activated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) β/δ and G-protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 40 were shown to protect pancreatic β cells against lipoapoptosis. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether activated PPARβ/δ could protect type 2 diabetic rats from lipoapoptosis through regulation of GPR40 and to compare the protective effects of activated PPARβ/δ and PPARγ. We made an animal model of type 2 diabetic lipoapoptosis by feeding spontaneously type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats with a high-fat diet (HFD) to evaluate the effects of PPARβ/δ on islet β cell apoptosis. And, treated INS-1 cells with 0.5 mM palmitate (PAM) in the absence/presence of GW501516 (a specific agonist of PPAR β/δ) and with/without transfection of GPR40 siRNA to explore the underlying molecular mechanism. HFD aggravated GK rats' poorer INSR30, lower mass, greater apoptosis of β cells, lower mass, and lower expression of GPR40, which were similarly improved by GW501516 at 3 or 6 mg/kg day and pioglitazone. Compared with pioglitazone, GW501516 caused more weight loss and had no effect on insulin resistance. GW501516 protected INS-1 cells from PAM-induced apoptosis by upregulating GPR40 and activating Akt/Bcl-2/caspase-3. Activated extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) was relevant to the lipoapoptosis in INS-1 cells, but was not involved in the antilipoapoptotic effect of GW501516. These results showed that the PPARβ/δ agonist GW501516 protected β cells from lipoapoptosis and improved β cell mass by upregulating GPR40 and activating the Akt/Bcl-2/caspase-3 pathway, but not the ERK-signaling pathway.

Abstract
AIMS Simple surrogate indices of insulin sensitivity have been conceived to deal with costly and complicated approaches, such as the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp; however, their use has not been widespread given their variabilities in different populations. In this paper, we present two simple surrogate indices, one that uses fasting glucose and insulin values and the other based on the values from the oral glucose tolerance test. MATERIALS AND METHODS The proposed methods integrate easy-to-obtain anthropometric measures. Evolutionary algorithms were used to optimize the proposed methods by maximizing its correlation with the Stumvoll MCR method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION When the proposed indices were applied to three study groups (control subjects, metabolic syndrome, marathon runners), a reduction in the intergroup variability of the insulin sensitivity was obtained. Moreover, the proposed index based on the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which considers the glucose metabolism process and the hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity, showed stronger correlations with the Stumvoll method and lower intergroup variability than the fasting one.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to measure changes in glucose, lipid, and inflammation parameters after transitioning from a baseline diet (BD) to an isocaloric ketogenic diet (KD). METHODS Glucose homeostasis, lipid homeostasis, and inflammation were studied in 17 men (BMI: 25-35 kg/m2 ) during 4 weeks of a BD (15% protein, 50% carbohydrate, 35% fat) followed by 4 weeks of an isocaloric KD (15% protein, 5% carbohydrate, 80% fat). Postprandial responses were assessed following mixed-meal tests matched to compositions of the BD (control meal [CM]) and KD (ketogenic meal). RESULTS Fasting ketones, glycerol, free fatty acids, glucagon, adiponectin, gastric inhibitory peptide, total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and C-reactive protein were significantly increased on the KD. Fasting insulin, C-peptides, triglycerides, and fibroblast growth factor 21 were significantly decreased. During the KD, the glucose area under the curve was significantly higher with both test meals, and the insulin area under the curve was significantly higher only for the CM. Analyses of glucose homeostasis suggested that the KD insulin sensitivity decreased during the CM but increased during the ketogenic meal. Insulin-mediated antilipolysis was decreased on the KD regardless of meal type. CONCLUSIONS Switching to the KD was associated with increased cholesterol and inflammatory markers, decreased triglycerides, and decreased insulin-mediated antilipolysis. Glucose homeostasis parameters were diet dependent and test meal dependent.

Abstract
PURPOSE The effects of adipose insulin resistance on cardiovascular risk factors in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remain largely unknown. We aimed to investigate associations between adipose insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk factors in PCOS. METHODS A total of 207 PCOS and 47 non-PCOS women were recruited from a large reproductive medicine center in this cross-sectional study. The PCOS diagnosis was based on the Rotterdam Criteria. The subjects received a standard oral glucose tolerance test. Adipose insulin resistance was evaluated using a validated index (adipose-IR = fasting insulin × free fatty acid concentrations). RESULTS The women with PCOS showed a higher adipose-IR index, and the adipose-IR index was tightly associated with the blood pressure, glucose and lipid parameters. A total of 98.0% of the women with PCOS in the highest adipose-IR quartile showed cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, hypertension, glucose intolerance or dyslipidemia), and this percentage was significantly higher than the percentage of those in the lowest quartile (32.7%). In addition, the percentages of women with three (31.4%) and four (13.7%) cardiovascular risk factors were significantly elevated in the highest adipose-IR quartile. The multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that each 1-SD increment in the adipose-IR index resulted in higher risks of obesity (OR = 3.18, 95% CI = 2.12-4.76), hypertension (OR = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.31-2.73), glucose intolerance (OR = 2.45, 95% CI = 1.73-3.48), and dyslipidemia (OR = 2.18, 95% CI = 1.57-3.01). The C-reactive protein (CRP) level was positively associated with the adipose-IR index in women with PCOS (r = 0.45, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The adipose-IR index was associated with cardiovascular risk factors in women with PCOS. Chronic inflammation may induce insulin resistance in the adipose tissue of women with PCOS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the commonest endocrinopathy of women in reproductive age, is often accompanied by insulin resistance (IR), hirsutism and/or fertility problems. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of IR in women diagnosed with PCOS. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study involved 137 women diagnosed with PCOS, according to the Rotterdam consensus criteria (2003). Insulin resistance was assessed according to the HOMA-IR method and insulin resistance (Belfiore) index (IRI) derived from glucose and insulin during the oral glucose tolerance test. RESULTS There was a significant (p < 0.0001) but relatively moderate correlation between IRI and HOMA-IR (r = 0.5 and r = 0.57 for a linear and non-linear model, respectively). Insulin resistance was more prevalent according to IRI (49.6%) than according to HOMA-IR (22.6% and 15.8% for 3.46 and 3.8 cut-off points, respectively, p < 0.01). The majority of patients with high HOMA-IR also had high IRI (e.g. 86%, for HOMA > 3.8), but the majority of patients with raised IRI would not be diagnosed as insulin resistant according to HOMA (61.7% and 73.5%, for HOMA-IR3.46 and HOMA-IR3.80, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The insulin resistance (Belfiore) index indicates more cases of insulin resistance than HOMA-IR in women with PCOS. Therefore, detection of insulin resistance among women with PCOS is highly method-dependent with more severe cases being detected with HOMA-IR than with IRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Investigating the effect on post-prandial glycemic and venous serum insulin response of an apple drink following the conversion of its glucose to gluconate. SUBJECTS/METHODS In a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial with cross-over design, 30 male adults with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) received a drink of 500 ml: 1. Verum: Apple juice treated with invertase, glucose oxidase/catalase (glucose 0.05 g; gluconate 18.2 g); 2. CONTROL Untreated apple juice (free glucose 8.5 g; bound glucose 6.7 g; gluconate below detection limit). Postprandial fingerprick capillary blood glucose and venous serum insulin were measured twice at baseline and at times 0 (start of drink), 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min. Gastrointestinal symptoms, stool consistency and satiety were also assessed. RESULTS The incremental area under the curve (iAUC120) of glucose levels (primary parameter) was significantly lower after verum (mean ± SD: 63.6 ± 46.7 min × mmol/l) compared to control (mean ± SD: 198 ± 80.9 min × mmol/l) (ANOVA F = 137.4, p < 0.001; α = 0.05). Also, iAUC120 of venous serum insulin levels (secondary parameter) was significantly lower after verum (mean ± SD: 2045 ± 991 min × mmol/l) compared to control (3864.3 ± 1941 min × mmol/l), (ANOVA F = 52.94, p < 0.001; α = 0.025). Further parameters of glucose metabolism and ISI = 2/[AUC venous serum insulin × AUC glucose +1] were also improved after verum compared to control. Verum increased stool frequency and decreased stool consistency, as assessed by Bristol stool form scale. CONCLUSIONS By enzymatic treatment of apple juice its sugar content could be reduced by 21% and postprandial glycemic and venous serum insulin response by 68 and 47%, respectively resulting in a reduction of glycemic load by 74.6% without any adverse gastrointestinal side-effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of insulin and metformin on primary trophoblasts from early pregnancies. DESIGN Experimental in vitro study. SETTING Academic research institute. PATIENT(S) Trophoblasts from healthy patients undergoing first trimester elective termination of pregnancy and primary lung fibroblasts (IMR-90). INTERVENTION(S) Culture and treatment with insulin and metformin of primary trophoblasts and primary lung fibroblasts (IMR-90). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) DNA damage measured by expression of γ-H2AX with immunofluorescence and Western blot. Apoptosis measured by expression of cleaved caspase-3 by Western blot. Cell survival measured by cell proliferation assay. RESULT(S) Culture of purified primary trophoblast cells in the presence of insulin at levels as low as 1 nM resulted in a 386% increase in the number of cell with elevated γ-H2AX expression, a 66% reduction in cell survival and a marked increase of cleaved caspase-3 expression. Pretreatment of trophoblasts with therapeutic doses of metformin prevented the detrimental effects of insulin. Treatment with insulin and/or metformin had no effects on primary fibroblasts. CONCLUSION(S) Elevated insulin levels are directly toxic to first trimester trophoblasts and result in increased DNA damage, apoptosis, and decreased cell survival. These effects are prevented by metformin. Trophoblast cells from early pregnancy are uniquely vulnerable to elevated levels of insulin. These findings, if confirmed in vivo, suggest that there may be a role for insulin resistance screening before attempting pregnancy and for focusing on prevention of hyperinsulinemia during early pregnancy.

Lewandowski KC, Dąbrowska K, Brzozowska M, Kawalec J, Lewiński A. Metformin paradoxically worsens insulin resistance in SHORT syndrome. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2019; 11:81. [PMID: 31583022 PMCID: PMC6771105 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-019-0477-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2019] [Accepted: 09/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND SHORT syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition associated severe insulin resistance (IR) and lipoatrophy due to post-receptor defect in insulin signaling involving phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 1 (PIK3R1), where no clear treatment guidelines are available. METHODS We attempted to test the efficacy metformin in a female patient with SHORT syndrome by measuring glucose and insulin during an extended Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) in a 21-year old patient (BMI 17.5 kg/m2), who presented for endocrine assessment with a history of amenorrhoea. RESULTS She had lipid concentrations within the reference range, normal thyroid function tests, prolactin, gonadotropins, estradiol and androgens with Free Androgen Index 4.52. Extended Oral Glucose Tolerance Test was performed and showed severe IR. She was then started on metformin 850 mg twice a day, and had repeated OGTT. This showed dramatic worsening of glucose tolerance (e.g. glucose 96 mg/dl versus 187 mg/dl and 68 mg/dl versus 204 mg/dl at 120 and 150 min of OGTT, respectively). This was accompanied by a massive increase of already high insulin concentrations (e.g. from 488.6 to > 1000 µIU/ml, and from 246.8 to > 1000 µIU/ml at 120 and 150 min of OGTT, respectively). Insulin concentrations remained above upper assay detection limit also at 180 min of OGTT on metformin treatment (> 1000 µIU/ml versus 100.6 µIU/ml without metformin). CONCLUSIONS Metformin treatment may paradoxically lead to deterioration of insulin resistance and to development of glucose intolerance in SHORT syndrome. Hence, metformin treatment might be potentially harmful in these patients. Though, the precise cause of such profound and paradoxical worsening of glucose tolerance post metformin remains unknown, SHORT syndrome might prove to be an interesting model to study the mechanism(s) of metformin action.

Effects of dapagliflozin and n-3 carboxylic acids on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in people with type 2 diabetes: a double-blind randomised placebo-controlled study. Diabetologia 2018; 61:1923-1934. [PMID: 29971527 PMCID: PMC6096619 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-018-4675-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 235] [Impact Index Per Article: 39.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2018] [Accepted: 05/31/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The EFFECT-II study aimed to investigate the effects of dapagliflozin and omega-3 (n-3) carboxylic acids (OM-3CA), individually or combined, on liver fat content in individuals with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS This randomised placebo-controlled double-blind parallel-group study was performed at five clinical research centres at university hospitals in Sweden. 84 participants with type 2 diabetes and NAFLD were randomly assigned 1:1:1:1 to four treatments by a centralised randomisation system, and all participants as well as investigators and staff involved in the study conduct and analyses were blinded to treatments. Each group received oral doses of one of the following: 10 mg dapagliflozin (n = 21), 4 g OM-3CA (n = 20), a combination of both (n = 22) or placebo (n = 21). The primary endpoint was liver fat content assessed by MRI (proton density fat fraction [PDFF]) and, in addition, total liver volume and markers of glucose and lipid metabolism as well as of hepatocyte injury and oxidative stress were assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment (completion of the trial). RESULTS Participants had a mean age of 65.5 years (SD 5.9), BMI 31.2 kg/m2 (3.5) and liver PDFF 18% (9.3). All active treatments significantly reduced liver PDFF from baseline, relative changes: OM-3CA, -15%; dapagliflozin, -13%; OM-3CA + dapagliflozin, -21%. Only the combination treatment reduced liver PDFF (p = 0.046) and total liver fat volume (relative change, -24%, p = 0.037) in comparison with placebo. There was an interaction between the PNPLA3 I148M polymorphism and change in liver PDFF in the active treatment groups (p = 0.03). Dapagliflozin monotherapy, but not the combination with OM-3CA, reduced the levels of hepatocyte injury biomarkers, including alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT), cytokeratin (CK) 18-M30 and CK 18-M65 and plasma fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). Changes in γ-GT correlated with changes in liver PDFF (ρ = 0.53, p = 0.02). Dapagliflozin alone and in combination with OM-3CA improved glucose control and reduced body weight and abdominal fat volumes. Fatty acid oxidative stress biomarkers were not affected by treatments. There were no new or unexpected adverse events compared with previous studies with these treatments. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Combined treatment with dapagliflozin and OM-3CA significantly reduced liver fat content. Dapagliflozin monotherapy reduced all measured hepatocyte injury biomarkers and FGF21, suggesting a disease-modifying effect in NAFLD. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02279407 FUNDING: The study was funded by AstraZeneca.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is used both in clinical practice and research to assess glucose tolerance. In addition, the OGTT is utilized for surrogate measures of insulin sensitivity and the insulin response to enteral glucose and has been widely applied in the evaluation of β-cell dysfunction in obesity, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes. Here we review the use of the OGTT and the OGTT-derived indices for measurement of risk markers for type 2 diabetes in youth. RECENT FINDINGS Advantages of using the OGTT for measures of diabetes risk include its accessibility and the incorporation of physiological contributions of the gut-pancreas axis in the measures of insulin response to glucose. Mathematical modeling expands the potential gains from the OGTT in physiology and clinical research. Disadvantages include individual differences in the rate of glucose absorption that modify insulin responses, imperfect control of the glycemic stimulus, and poor intraindividual reproducibility. Available research suggests the OGTT provides valuable information about the development of impaired glycemic control and β-cell function in obese youth along the spectrum of glucose tolerance.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Insulin resistance is an early complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with worsening cardiovascular outcomes. This review will evaluate mechanisms responsible for CKD-induced insulin resistance and therapies currently available. RECENT FINDINGS Recent mechanisms have been identified including SIRPα and specific E3 ubiquitin ligases causing insulin resistance in CKD. The hallmark finding in these mechanisms is degradation of the insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) which impairs intracellular insulin signaling and ultimately metabolism. The mechanisms responsible for insulin resistance in CKD include inflammation, oxidative stress, elevations in aldosterone, angiotensin II, uremic toxins, and metabolic acidosis. Potential treatments currently available for CKD-induced insulin resistance include lifestyle modification and metformin. Potential future treatments may include glucagon-like peptide agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and thiazolidinediones. Investigations into molecular mechanisms responsible for insulin resistance in CKD may provide new therapeutic targets while current therapies may prevent the catabolic sequelae of CKD and ameliorate its cardiovascular consequences.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Insoluble cereal fibres have been shown in large prospective cohort studies to be highly effective in preventing type 2 diabetes, but there is a lack of interventional data. Our 2 year randomised double-blind prospective intervention study compared the effect of an insoluble oat fibre extract with that of placebo on glucose metabolism and incidence of diabetes. METHODS A total of 180 participants with impaired glucose tolerance underwent a modified version of the 1 year lifestyle training programme PREvention of DIAbetes Self-management (PREDIAS) and were randomised to receive a fibre supplement (n = 89; 7.5 g of insoluble fibre per serving) or placebo (n = 91; 0.8 g of insoluble fibre per serving) twice daily for 2 years. Eligible participants were men and women, were at least 18 years old and did not report corticosteroid or other intensive anti-inflammatory treatment, fibre intolerance or any of the following disorders: overt diabetes, chronic or malignant disease, or severe cardiopulmonary, endocrine, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, autoimmune or eating disorder. Participants were recruited at two clinical wards in Berlin and Nuthetal. The allocation was blinded to participants and study caregivers (physicians, dietitians, study nurses). Randomisation was conducted by non-clinical staff, providing neutrally numbered supplement tins. Both supplements were similar in their visual, olfactory and gustatory appearance. Intention-to-treat analysis was applied to all individuals. RESULTS After 1 year, 2 h OGTT levels decreased significantly in both groups but without a significant difference between the groups (fibre -0.78 ± 1.88 mmol/l [p ≤ 0.001] vs placebo -0.46 ± 1.80 mmol/l [p = 0.020]; total difference 0.32 ± 0.29 mmol/l; not significant). The 2 year incidence of diabetes was 9/89 (fibre group) compared with 16/91 (placebo group; difference not significant). As secondary outcomes, the change in HbA1c level was significantly different between the two groups (-0.2 ± 4.6 mmol/mol [-0.0 ± 0.0%; not significant] vs +1.2 ± 5.2 mmol/mol [+0.1 ± 0.0%; not significant]; total difference 1.4 ± 0.7 mmol/mol [0.1 + 0.0%]); p = 0.018); insulin sensitivity and hepatic insulin clearance increased in both groups. After 2 years, improved insulin sensitivity was still present in both groups, although the effect size had diminished. Separate analysis of the sexes revealed a significantly greater reduction in 2 h glucose levels for women in the fibre group (-0.88 ± 1.59 mmol/l [p ≤ 0.001] vs -0.22 ± 1.52 mmol/l [p = 0.311]; total difference 0.67 ± 0.31 mmol/l; p = 0.015). Levels of fasting glucose, adipokines and inflammatory markers remained unchanged in the two groups. Significantly increased fibre intake was restricted to the fibre group, despite dietary counselling for both groups. No severe side effects occurred. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION We cannot currently provide strong evidence for a beneficial effect of insoluble cereal fibre on glycaemic metabolism, although further studies may support minor effects of fibre supplementation in reducing glucose levels, insulin resistance and the incidence of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Though insulin resistance (IR) is common in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), there is no agreement as to what surrogate method of assessment of IR is most reliable. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In 478 women with PCOS, we compared methods based on fasting insulin and either fasting glucose (HOMA-IR and QUICKI) or triglycerides (McAuley Index) with IR indices derived from glucose and insulin during OGTT (Belfiore, Matsuda and Stumvoll indices). RESULTS There was a strong correlation between IR indices derived from fasting values HOMA-IR/QUICKI, r = -0.999, HOMA-IR/McAuley index, r = -0.849 and between all OGTT-derived IR indices (e.g. r = -0.876, for IRI/Matsuda, r = -0.808, for IRI/Stumvoll, and r = 0.947, for Matsuda/Stumvoll index, P < 0.001 for all), contrasting with a significant (P < 0.001), but highly variable correlation between IR indices derived from fasting vs OGTT-derived variables, ranging from r = -0.881 (HOMA-IR/Matsuda), through r = 0.58, or r = -0.58 (IRI/HOMA-IR, IRI/QUICKI, respectively) to r = 0.41 (QUICKI/Stumvoll), and r = 0.386 for QUICKI/Matsuda indices. Detailed comparison between HOMA-IR and IRI revealed that concordance between HOMA and IRI was poor for HOMA-IR/IRI values above 75th and 90th percentile. For instance, only 53% (70/132) women with HOMA-IR >75th percentile had IRI value also above 75th percentile. There was a significant, but weak correlation of all IR indices with testosterone concentrations. CONCLUSIONS Significant number of women with PCOS can be classified as being either insulin sensitive or insulin resistant depending on the method applied, as correlation between various IR indices is highly variable. Clinical application of surrogate indices for assessment of IR in PCOS must be therefore viewed with an extreme caution.

Abstract
This chapter reviews both statistical and physiologic issues related to the pathophysiologic effects of genetic variation in the context of type 2 diabetes. The goal is to review current methodologies used to analyze disease-related quantitative traits for those who do not have extensive quantitative and physiologic background, as an attempt to bridge that gap. We leverage mathematical modeling to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches and attempt to reinforce with real data analysis. Topics reviewed include phenotype selection, phenotype specificity, multiple variant analysis via the genetic risk score, and consideration of multiple disease-related phenotypes. Type 2 diabetes is used as the example, not only because of the extensive existing knowledge at the genetic, physiologic, clinical, and epidemiologic levels, but also because type 2 diabetes has been at the forefront of complex disease genetics, with many examples to draw from.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The beneficial effects of estrogen on endothelial function depend on its integrity. This study evaluates the short-term effects of low-dose transdermal estradiol on endothelial function, insulin sensitivity, and blood viscosity in nondiabetic overweight/obese women. METHODS Forty-four nondiabetic overweight/obese women with a history of recent menopause were randomly allocated, in a double-blind fashion, to receive transdermal estradiol (1 mg/d, n = 22) or placebo (n = 22). The following parameters were assessed: endothelial reactivity (venous occlusion plethysmography and nailfold videocapillaroscopy), plasma levels of soluble adhesion molecules, insulin sensitivity (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and areas under the curve of insulin and glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test), and blood and plasma viscosity. Data were expressed as means ± SD or medians [first to third quartiles]. RESULTS Participants were aged 51.8 ± 2.3 years with a body mass index of 31.5 ± 2.5 kg/m and time since menopause was 3 [2-5] years. At baseline, no differences between the groups were observed; however, after 3 months of treatment, the following changes were observed in the estradiol group compared with the placebo group: a decrease in the forearm vascular resistance at baseline (36.37 [24.9-51.27] vs 51.3 [40.88-70.03] mm Hg/mL per min 100 mL tissue, P < 0.01) and during the postocclusive reactive hyperemia response (15.93 [11.32-22.29] vs 22.13 [16.46-29.7] mm Hg/mL per min 100 mL tissue, P < 0.01), and an increase in red blood cell velocity at rest (0.316 [0.309-0.326] vs 0.303 [0.293-0.308] mm/s, P < 0.001) and during postocclusive reactive hyperemia response (0.374 [0.353-0.376] vs 0.341 [0.333-0.355] mm/s, P < 0.001). Furthermore, blood viscosity was lower in the estradiol group than in the placebo group (3.57 ± 0.12 vs 3.76 ± 0.22 mPa.s; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Short-term use of low-dose transdermal estradiol in nondiabetic overweight/obese women with a history of recent menopause improved endothelial function and decreased blood viscosity compared with placebo.
