Assessing the impact of body composition, metabolic and oxidative stress parameters on insulin resistance as a prognostic marker for reactive hypoglycemia: a cross-sectional study in overweight, obese, and normal weight individuals. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1329802. [PMID: 38655176 PMCID: PMC11035812 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1329802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance (IR), particularly in its association with obesity. This study evaluate both the diagnostic and clinical significance of assessing oxidative status in patients affected by overweight and obesity displaying IR, especially with reactive hypoglycemic episodes (RH). A comprehensive examination of OS biomarkers was carried out, encompassing measurements of total oxidative capacity (TOC) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Our analysis results reveal noteworthy connections between OS levels and the severity of IR in overweight and obese patients. Moreover, in the study, we demonstrated the diagnostic utility of serum concentrations of TAC and TOC as indicators of the risk of RH, the occurrence of which, even at the stage of overweight, may be associated with increased OS and further development of obesity. Our findings imply that the evaluation of oxidative status could serve as a crucial diagnostic and prognostic tool for patients observed with IR and overweight and obesity. In conclusion, our study underscores the potential utility of assessing oxidative status in the context of IR and highlights the possibility of identifying novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of overweight and obese patients.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1674. [PMID: 38338951 PMCID: PMC10855851 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25031674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by low-grade inflammation. Low-density neutrophils (LDNs) represent normally less than 2% of total neutrophils but increase in multiple pathologies, releasing inflammatory cytokines and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). We assessed the count and role of high-density neutrophils (HDNs), LDNs, and NET-related activities in patients with T2D. HDNs and LDNs were purified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and counted by flow cytometry. Circulating inflammatory and NETs biomarkers were measured by ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay). NET formation was quantified by confocal microscopy. Neutrophil adhesion onto a human extracellular matrix (hECM) was assessed by optical microscopy. We recruited 22 healthy volunteers (HVs) and 18 patients with T2D. LDN counts in patients with diabetes were significantly higher (160%), along with circulating NETs biomarkers (citrullinated H3 histone (H3Cit), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and MPO-DNA (137%, 175%, and 69%, respectively) versus HV. Circulating interleukins (IL-6 and IL-8) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) were significantly increased by 117%, 171%, and 79%, respectively, in patients compared to HVs. Isolated LDNs from patients expressed more H3Cit, MPO, and NETs, formed more NETs, and adhered more on hECM compared to LDNs from HVs. Patients with T2D present higher levels of circulating LDN- and NET-related biomarkers and associated pro-inflammatory activities.

The Reporting Quality of Machine Learning Studies on Pediatric Diabetes Mellitus: Systematic Review. J Med Internet Res 2024; 26:e47430. [PMID: 38241075 PMCID: PMC10837761 DOI: 10.2196/47430] [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: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major health concern among children with the widespread adoption of advanced technologies. However, concerns are growing about the transparency, replicability, biasedness, and overall validity of artificial intelligence studies in medicine. OBJECTIVE We aimed to systematically review the reporting quality of machine learning (ML) studies of pediatric DM using the Minimum Information About Clinical Artificial Intelligence Modelling (MI-CLAIM) checklist, a general reporting guideline for medical artificial intelligence studies. METHODS We searched the PubMed and Web of Science databases from 2016 to 2020. Studies were included if the use of ML was reported in children with DM aged 2 to 18 years, including studies on complications, screening studies, and in silico samples. In studies following the ML workflow of training, validation, and testing of results, reporting quality was assessed via MI-CLAIM by consensus judgments of independent reviewer pairs. Positive answers to the 17 binary items regarding sufficient reporting were qualitatively summarized and counted as a proxy measure of reporting quality. The synthesis of results included testing the association of reporting quality with publication and data type, participants (human or in silico), research goals, level of code sharing, and the scientific field of publication (medical or engineering), as well as with expert judgments of clinical impact and reproducibility. RESULTS After screening 1043 records, 28 studies were included. The sample size of the training cohort ranged from 5 to 561. Six studies featured only in silico patients. The reporting quality was low, with great variation among the 21 studies assessed using MI-CLAIM. The number of items with sufficient reporting ranged from 4 to 12 (mean 7.43, SD 2.62). The items on research questions and data characterization were reported adequately most often, whereas items on patient characteristics and model examination were reported adequately least often. The representativeness of the training and test cohorts to real-world settings and the adequacy of model performance evaluation were the most difficult to judge. Reporting quality improved over time (r=0.50; P=.02); it was higher than average in prognostic biomarker and risk factor studies (P=.04) and lower in noninvasive hypoglycemia detection studies (P=.006), higher in studies published in medical versus engineering journals (P=.004), and higher in studies sharing any code of the ML pipeline versus not sharing (P=.003). The association between expert judgments and MI-CLAIM ratings was not significant. CONCLUSIONS The reporting quality of ML studies in the pediatric population with DM was generally low. Important details for clinicians, such as patient characteristics; comparison with the state-of-the-art solution; and model examination for valid, unbiased, and robust results, were often the weak points of reporting. To assess their clinical utility, the reporting standards of ML studies must evolve, and algorithms for this challenging population must become more transparent and replicable.

Effect of Nutritional Deprivation after Sleeve Gastrectomy on Bone Mass, Periostin, Sclerostin and Semaphorin 4D: A Two-Year Longitudinal Study. Nutrients 2023; 15:4310. [PMID: 37892386 PMCID: PMC10610316 DOI: 10.3390/nu15204310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Bariatric surgery induces bone loss, but the exact mechanisms by which this process occurs are not fully known. The aims of this 2-year longitudinal study were to (i) investigate the changes in areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and bone turnover markers following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and (ii) determine the parameters associated with the aBMD variations. Bone turnover markers, sclerostin, periostin and semaphorin 4D were assessed before and 1, 12 and 24 months after SG, and aBMD was determined by DXA at baseline and after 12 and 24 months in 83 patients with obesity. Bone turnover increased from 1 month, peaked at 12 months and remained elevated at 24 months. Periostin and sclerostin presented only modest increases at 1 month, whereas semaphorin 4D showed increases only at 12 and 24 months. A significant aBMD decrease was observed only at total hip regions at 12 and 24 months. This demineralisation was mainly related to body weight loss. In summary, reduced aBMD was observed after SG in the hip region (mechanical-loading bone sites) due to an increase in bone turnover in favour of bone resorption. Periostin, sclerostin and semaphorin 4D levels varied after SG, showing different time lags, but contrary to weight loss, these biological parameters did not seem to be directly implicated in the skeletal deterioration.

Abstract
Overweight, obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus pose global health problems that are ever-increasing. A chronic low-grade inflammatory status and the presence of various pro-inflammatory markers either in circulation or within dysfunctional metabolic tissues are well established. The presence of these factors can, to some extent, predict disease development and progression. A central role is played by the presence of dysfunctional adipose tissue, liver dysfunction, and skeletal muscle dysfunction, which collectively contribute to the increased circulatory levels of proinflammatory factors. Weight loss and classical metabolic interventions achieve a decrease in many of these factors' circulating levels, implying that a better understanding of the processes or even the modulation of inflammation may alleviate these diseases. This review suggests that inflammation plays a significant role in the development and progression of these conditions and that measuring inflammatory markers may be useful for assessing disease risk and development of future treatment methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irisin is a novel myokine both in mice and humans, and it can also be secreted by adipose tissue and the liver in a small amounts. There are few studies on irisin and bone metabolism. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum irisin levels and bone metabolism and analyze its related factors in Han young male with pre-diabetic individuals. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 41 pre-diabetes and 45 normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Anthropometric measurements, including height, weight, waist circumference (WC), and bone mineral content (BMC), were performed. All patients underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) after 8 h of fasting, and the levels of glucose, insulin, lipids, serum irisin and bone turnover markers were measured. RESULTS The levels of serum irisin (4.4 ± 1.4 vs. 6.3 ± 1.5 µg/mL), P1NP and OC were significantly lower and CTX was significantly higher in the pre-diabetes group (P < 0.05). BMC did not differ in the two groups (P > 0.05). Serum irisin levels negatively correlated with BMI (r =-0.325), FPG (r =-0.329), TG (r =-0.339) (P < 0.05) in NGT individuals. Serum irisin levels positively correlated with P1NP (r = 0.398), OC (r = 0.351), HDL-C (r = 0.432) and negatively correlated with FPG (r = -0.725), 2 h-PG (r = -0.360) (P < 0.05) in pre-diabetic individuals. Multiple regression analysis revealed that Serum irisin (β = 9.768, P = 0.025) and WC (β = -2.355, P = 0.002) were significant independent predictors for P1NP. CONCLUSION Bone turnover markers were changed rather than bone mineral content in young men with pre-diabetes. In pre-diabetes individuals, serum irisin levels were reduced and close relationship with P1NP. Falling irisin levels may be a predictor of decreased bone formation in Han young men with pre-diabetes individuals.

Int J Obes (Lond) 2021; 45:2261-2268. [PMID: 34267323 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-021-00904-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Revised: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/23/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Fecal microbiome disturbances are linked to different human diseases. In the case of obesity, gut microbiota seems to play a role in the development of low-grade inflammation. The purpose of the present study was to identify specific bacterial families and genera associated with an increased obesity-related inflammatory status, which would allow to build a regression model for the prediction of the inflammatory status of obese and overweight subjects based on fecal microorganisms. METHODS A total of 361 volunteers from the Obekit trial (65 normal-weight, 110 overweight, and 186 obese) were classified according to four variables: waist/hip ratio (≥0.86 for women and ≥1.00 for men), leptin/adiponectin ratio (LAR, ≥3.0 for women and ≥1.4 for men), and plasma C-reactive protein (≥2 mg/L) and TNF levels (≥0.85 pg/mL). An inflammation score was designed to classify individuals in low (those subjects who did exceed the threshold value in 0 or 1 variable) or high inflammatory index (those subjects who did exceed the threshold value in 2 or more variables). Fecal 16 S rRNA sequencing was performed for all participants, and differential abundance analyses for family and genera were performed using the MicrobiomeAnalyst web-based platform. RESULTS Methanobacteriaceae, Christensenellaceae, Coriobacteriaceae, Bifidobacteriaceae, Catabacteriaceae, and Dehalobacteriaceae families, and Methanobrevibacter, Eggerthella, Gemmiger, Anaerostipes, and Collinsella genera were significantly overrepresented in subjects with low inflammatory index. Conversely, Carnobacteriaceae, Veillonellaceae, Pasteurellaceae, Prevotellaceae and Enterobacteriaceae families, and Granulicatella, Veillonella, Haemophilus, Dialister Parabacteroides, Prevotella, Shigella, and Allisonella genera were more abundant in subjects with a high inflammatory index. A regression model adjusted by BMI, sex, and age and including the families Coriobacteriaceae and Prevotellaceae and the genus Veillonella was developed. CONCLUSION A microbiota-based regression model was able to predict the obesity-related inflammatory status (area under the ROC curve = 0.8570 ± 0.0092 Harrell's optimism-correction) and could be useful in the precision management of inflammobesity.

Bicyclol Regulates Hepatic Gluconeogenesis in Rats with Type 2 Diabetes and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease by Inhibiting Inflammation. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:644129.

Abstract
Hepatic gluconeogenesis plays an important role in maintaining the body’s glucose metabolism homeostasis. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver diseases, when combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it can cause severe glucose metabolism disorders. Studies have confirmed that chronic liver inflammatory lesions are the basis of T2DM combined with NAFLD (T2DM–NAFLD), inhibiting liver inflammation can improve glucose metabolism disorders. It is essential to explore safe and effective drugs to inhibit liver inflammation to improve the body’s glucose metabolism disorders. Bicyclol is a biphenyl derivative that has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. In the present study, the hepatoprotective effects and underlying mechanisms of bicyclol in T2DM–NAFLD were investigated, and T2DM–NAFLD with/without bicyclol treatment models were established. The results revealed that bicyclol alleviated fasting blood glucose, serum transaminase levels, insulin resistance, hepatic adipogenesis, lipid accumulation and markedly reduced T2DM–NAFLD rat histological alterations of livers. Not only that, bicyclol markedly attenuated T2DM–NAFLD induced production of inflammation factors (IL-1β and TNF-α). Moreover, bicyclol suppressed the expression of insulin/gluconeogenesis signaling pathway (Akt, PGC-1α and PEPCK). These findings suggested that bicyclol might be a potentially effective drug for the treatment of T2DM–NAFLD and other metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Present study investigated which diet, high-carbohydrate (HCD) or high-fat (HFD), most effectively induces classical characteristics of obesity in mice. Mice were fed commercial chow (control), an HCD, or an HFD for 12 weeks. HFD and HCD increased body weight, fat mass, and glycaemia, whereas the HFD augmented insulinemia. In the kidney, the HFD caused albuminuria, and reductions in fractional Na+ excretion, Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) excretion, and urinary flow, whereas the HCD reduced glomerular filtration, plasma osmolality, and TXB2 and Prostaglandin E2 excretion. The consumption of HFD and HCD modified parameters that indicate histopathological changes, such as proliferation (proliferating-cell-nuclear antigen), inflammation (c-Jun N-terminal-protein), and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (vimentin, and desmin) in renal tissue, but the HCD group presents fewer signals of glomerular hypertrophy or tubule degeneration. In summary, the HCD generated the metabolic and renal changes required for an obesity model, but with a delay in the development of these modifications concerning the HFD.

Abstract
Reverse causality has made it difficult to establish the causal directions between obesity and prediabetes and obesity and insulin resistance. To disentangle whether obesity causally drives prediabetes and insulin resistance already in non-diabetic individuals, we utilized the UK Biobank and METSIM cohort to perform a Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses in the non-diabetic individuals. Our results suggest that both prediabetes and systemic insulin resistance are caused by obesity (p = 1.2×10-3 and p = 3.1×10-24). As obesity reflects the amount of body fat, we next studied how adipose tissue affects insulin resistance. We performed both bulk RNA-sequencing and single nucleus RNA sequencing on frozen human subcutaneous adipose biopsies to assess adipose cell-type heterogeneity and mitochondrial (MT) gene expression in insulin resistance. We discovered that the adipose MT gene expression and body fat percent are both independently associated with insulin resistance (p≤0.05 for each) when adjusting for the decomposed adipose cell-type proportions. Next, we showed that these 3 factors, adipose MT gene expression, body fat percent, and adipose cell types, explain a substantial amount (44.39%) of variance in insulin resistance and can be used to predict it (p≤2.64×10-5 in 3 independent human cohorts). In summary, we demonstrated that obesity is a strong determinant of both prediabetes and insulin resistance, and discovered that individuals' adipose cell-type composition, adipose MT gene expression, and body fat percent predict their insulin resistance, emphasizing the critical role of adipose tissue in systemic insulin resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The threefold aim was to (1) compare areal bone mineral density (aBMD), bone turnover markers, and periostin levels in young women with either anorexia nervosa (AN) or obesity (OB) and controls (CON); (2) model the profiles according to age; and (3) determine the parameters associated with aBMD. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred and fifty-two young women with ages ranging from 16.0 to 27.0 years were subdivided into 3 groups (AN, OB, CON). The CON group was age-matched by ±6 months. aBMD, bone turnover markers, and periostin levels were evaluated. RESULTS aBMD modeling showed that hip aBMD was higher in OB than in the other 2 groups from 19 years, and AN presented lower values than CON from 21 years. aBMD at the lumbar spine was higher in older OB and CON women, starting from 20 to 22 years, but in AN the difference with the other 2 groups increased with age. Periostin levels were lower in OB than in AN or CON, but no variation with age was observed. Compared with controls, OB and AN presented similarly lower markers of bone formation, although markers of bone resorption were lower in OB and higher in AN. A modeling approach showed that markers of bone formation and resorption were lower in older than in younger CON, whereas the values of these bone markers remained relatively constant in AN and OB. In all groups, lean body mass (LBM) was the parameter most positively correlated with aBMD. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that weight extremes (AN or OB) influence aBMD, bone remodeling and periostin profiles. Moreover, factors related to aBMD were specific to each condition, but LBM was the parameter most consistently associated with aBMD.

Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue as markers of local and systemic inflammation: a comparison between celiac and obese patients using MRI. Tech Coloproctol 2020; 24:553-562.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic inflammatory disease, which primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract. It has been recently demonstrated that adipose-tissue infiltration by proinflammatory immune cells causes a chronic low-grade inflammation in obese patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has already proved to be useful in evaluation of inflammatory states. The aim of the present study was to determine whether alterations of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue, identified with MRI, could serve as markers of local and systemic inflammation in patients with CD. METHODS A pilot study was conducted comparing alterations in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in CD patients vs obese patients and healthy controls. Fifty patients were enrolled and assigned to one of the following groups: Group A: 11 active CD patients; Group B: 11 CD patients in remission; Group C: 16 obese patients; Group D: 12 healthy controls. A 3-T MRI unit was used and T2-weighted TSE images of VAT and SAT were obtained in specific regions of interest. Serum cytokine concentrations (TNF-α, IL-6, adiponectin, leptin, IL-2, IFN-γ) were determined. RESULTS There was a significant difference in VAT T2 relaxation time between Group A and B (p < 0.001), A and D (p < 0.01), B and C (p < 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference in SAT T2 relaxation time between Group A and B (p < 0.001), A and C (p < 0.05), A and D (p < 0.001), B and C (p < 0.01). In addition, VAT/SAT T2 relaxation time ratio showed a statistically significant difference between Group A and C (p < 0.05) and between Group B and C (p < 0.01). Only TNF-α and IL-6 significantly correlated with both VAT and VAT/SAT ratio in active CD. CONCLUSIONS MRI showed similar increased visceral inflammatory signals in patients with active CD and obese patients. However, subcutaneous inflammatory signals were higher in active CD than in all the other groups. These data show that there is a systemic inflammatory state in active CD, whereas chronic inflammation appears confined to VAT in obesity. These data were only partially confirmed by serological cytokine profiles, which showed less specificity than MRI.

Abstract
The links between obesity and cognition remain equivocal due to a variety of methodological limitations with current research, such as an overreliance on body mass index (BMI) as a measure of obesity, the use of cross-sectional designs, and inadequate specification over the domains of cognitive function to be examined. To address these issues, we used data from the Cognitive Project of the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States, a large-scale, longitudinal dataset on non-institutionalized midlife adults (N = 2652), which enabled us to examine the long-term bidirectional relations between obesity and two latent factors of cognition-executive function and episodic memory-while controlling for potential confounds. Results showed that, over a span of nine years, an increase in obesity in Time 1 is associated with a decline in episodic memory in Time 2 (but not executive function), while an increase in executive function in Time 1 (but not episodic memory) is associated with a reduction in obesity in Time 2. These results were elucidated when obesity was indexed with waist-to-hip ratio but not with BMI. Our findings highlight important directions for further research, in particular the use of more valid obesity indices and a greater focus on the bidirectional effects between obesity and cognition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are among the most important morbidity factors. In this study we tested the hypothesis that low proliferative potential of adipose derived stromal cells (ADSC) associates with reduced formation of new fat depots, excess accumulation of fat in the functional adipocytes and their hypertrophy, resulting in fat inflammation and insulin resistance. METHODS We screened two groups of obese patients with or without T2DM, matched for BMI, age, and duration of obesity to test the hypothesis that hypertrophy and decreased renewal of adipocytes may underlie transition from obesity to T2DM. All patients were matched for carbohydrate metabolism (fasting blood glucose level, glycated hemoglobin, HOMA-IR index and M-index). The subcutaneous and omental fat tissue biopsies were obtained during bariatric surgery from obese individuals with or without T2DM. The morphology and immunophenotype of subcutaneous and omental fat was assessed in frozen tissue sections. ADSC were isolated from both types of fat tissue biopsies and screened for morphology, proliferative potential and inflammatory status. RESULTS The non-diabetic patients had normal carbohydrate metabolism and moderate insulin resistance measured by HOMA-IR and hyperinsulinemic clamp (M-index), while T2DM patients were extremely insulin resistant by both indexes. The average size of diabetic adipocytes was higher than that of non-diabetic in both subcutaneous and omental fat tissues, indicating adipocyte hypertrophy in T2DM. Both these tissues contained higher level of macrophage infiltration and increased M1-like to M2-like ratio of macrophage subpopulations, suggesting increased fat inflammation in T2DM. This was confirmed by increased activatory phosphorylation of stress-induced JNK1/2 in diabetic ADSC. CONCLUSION These results suggest that blunted proliferation and increased hypertrophy of diabetic ADSC may lead to reduced insulin sensitivity via increased inflammation mediated by M1 macrophages and JNK1/2 pathway.

Abstract
Background: Obesity is a complex, chronic metabolic disorder and its prevalence is increasing throughout most of the world. Low molecular weight galactomannans-based standardized fenugreek seed extract (LMWGAL-TF) has previously shown anti-diabetic and anti-hyperlipidemic potential. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of action of LMWGAL-TF in treating high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and hyperlipidemia in mice. Materials and methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were fed the HFD for 12 weeks and were co-administered with LMWGAL-TF (10, 30 and 100 mg kg-1, p.o.). Variables measured were behavioral, biochemical, molecular and histopathological. In a separate in vitro experiment, copper-ascorbate (Cu-As)-induced mitochondrial oxidative damage was evaluated. Results: The HFD-induced increase (p < 0.001) in body weight, fat mass, lean mass, adipose tissue (brown, mesenteric, epididymal and retroperitoneal) and liver weight was significantly attenuated (p < 0.001) by LMWGAL-TF (30 and 100 mg kg-1). The HFD-induced elevated levels of serum lipid, interleukins (ILs)-6 and leptin were significantly decreased (p < 0.001) by LMWGAL-TF (30 and 100 mg kg-1). Elevated fatty acid synthase (FASn), IL-6, leptin and transcriptional regulator interacting with the PHD-bromodomain 2 (TRIP-Br2) mRNA expression in brown adipose tissue (BAT), liver, and epididymal fat were significantly down-regulated (p < 0.001) by LMWGAL-TF (30 and 100 mg kg-1). Additionally, HFD-induced histological alterations in skeletal muscle, liver, white adipose tissue (WAT) and BAT were also reduced by LMWGAL-TF. Furthermore, the Cu-As-induced alteration in mitochondria oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, glutathione, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase) in skeletal muscle and BAT was significantly (p < 0.001) ameliorated by LMWGAL-TF (2, 4 and 6 mg mL-1) treatment. It also reduced the Cu-As-induced mitochondrial swelling. Conclusion: LMWGAL-TF showed its beneficial effect in reducing HFD-induced obesity via down-regulation of FASn, IL-6, leptin, and TRIP-Br2 in mice.

Abstract
Background The current study aimed to reconcile the inconsistent findings between obesity, executive functions, and episodic memory by addressing major limitations of previous studies, including overreliance on body mass index (BMI), small sample sizes, and failure to control for confounds. Methods Participants consisted of 3,712 midlife adults from the Cognitive Project of the National Survey of Midlife Development. Executive functions and episodic memory were measured by a battery of cognitive function tests. Results We found that higher waist-to-hip ratio was associated with deficits in both executive functions and episodic memory, above and beyond the influence of demographics, comorbid health issues, health behaviors, personality traits, and self-perceived obesity. However, higher BMI was not associated with deficits in executive functions and episodic memory. More importantly, these differential associations were robust and stable across adulthood. Discussion Our findings confirm the association between obesity and episodic memory while highlighting the need for better measures of obesity when examining its associations with individual differences in cognitive functions.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation is a key contributor to obesity-related insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). NLRP3 inflammasome activation plays an important role in impairing insulin signaling and insulin sensitivity. Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived cytokine that has been shown to promote insulin sensitivity and exert anti-inflammatory properties, yet the detailed mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of adiponectin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus palmitic acid (PA)-induced THP-1 cells and to identify the underlying mechanism. We report here that adiponectin was able to inhibit interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Furthermore, we, for the first time, describe that adiponectin attenuates NLRP3 inflammasome activation by modulating the AMPK-ROS signaling pathway. These findings provide insight suggesting that adiponectin and NLRP3 inflammasome be considered molecular targets for the development of new treatment for T2D and the related metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Obesity and diabetes in humans are associated with increased rates of anxiety and depression. To understand the role of the gut microbiome and brain insulin resistance in these disorders, we evaluated behaviors and insulin action in brain of mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO) with and without antibiotic treatment. We find that DIO mice have behaviors reflective of increased anxiety and depression. This is associated with decreased insulin signaling and increased inflammation in in the nucleus accumbens and amygdala. Treatment with oral metronidazole or vancomycin decreases inflammation, improves insulin signaling in the brain and reduces signs of anxiety and depression. These effects are associated with changes in the levels of tryptophan, GABA, BDNF, amino acids, and multiple acylcarnitines, and are transferable to germ-free mice by fecal transplant. Thus, changes in gut microbiota can control brain insulin signaling and metabolite levels, and this leads to altered neurobehaviors.

Abstract
Intrauterine growth restriction in late pregnancy can contribute to adverse long-term metabolic health in the offspring. In the present study we used an animal (sheep) model of maternal dietary manipulation in late pregnancy, combined with exposure of the offspring to a low-activity, obesogenic environment after weaning, to characterise the effects on glucose homeostasis. Dizygotic twin-pregnant sheep were either fed to 60% of requirements (nutrient restriction (R)) or fed ad libitum (~140% of requirements (A)) from 110 days gestation until term (~147 days). After weaning (~3 months of age), the offspring were kept in either a standard (in order to remain lean) or low-activity, obesogenic environment. R mothers gained less weight and produced smaller offspring. As adults, obese offspring were heavier and fatter with reduced glucose tolerance, regardless of maternal diet. Molecular markers of stress and autophagy in liver and adipose tissue were increased with obesity, with gene expression of hepatic glucose-related protein 78 (Grp78) and omental activation transcription factor 6 (Atf6), Grp78 and ER stress degradation enhancer molecule 1 (Edem1) only being increased in R offspring. In conclusion, the adverse effect of juvenile-onset obesity on insulin-responsive tissues can be amplified by previous exposure to a suboptimal nutritional environment in utero, thereby contributing to earlier onset of insulin resistance.

Abstract
AIM To assess circulatory levels of interleukin-18 (IL-18) and determine whether the presence of IL-18 promoter polymorphism influences metabolic syndrome phenotypes.
METHODS This study recruited one hundred and eighty individuals divided into three groups with sixty subjects each as: Normal weight (18.0-22.9 kg/m2), overweight (23.0-25.9 kg/m2) and obese (> 26.0 kg/m2) according to South Asian criteria of BMI. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), Lipid profile, insulin, IL-18 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α were measured using ELISA kits, whereas low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity (QUICKI) were calculated. The body fat percentage (BF) was measured through bioelectrical impedance analysis; waist and hip circumference were measured. Genotyping of IL-18 -607 C/A polymorphism was performed by using tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system. Student t test, One-way analysis of variance, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, Pearson’s χ2 test and Pearson’s correlation were used, where a P value < 0.05 was considered significant.
RESULTS In an aged matched study, obese subjects showed higher levels of FBG, cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL levels as compared to normal weight (P < 0.001). Highest levels of IL-18 and TNF levels were also seen in obese subjects (IL-18: 58.87 ± 8.59 ng/L) (TNF: 4581.93 ± 2132.05 pg/mL). The percentage of IL-18 -607 A/A polymorphism was higher in overweight and obese subjects vs normal weight subjects (P < 0.001). Moreover, subjects with AA genotype had a higher BF, insulin resistance, TNFα and IL-18 levels when compared with subjects with AC (heterozygous) or CC (wild type) genotypes. However, we did not find any difference in the lipid profile between three subgroups.
CONCLUSION This preliminary data suggests that IL-18 polymorphism affects IL-18 levels that might cause low grade inflammation, further exacerbated by increased TNFα. All these increase the susceptibility to develop MetS. Further studies are required to validate our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES To investigate in adolescents the relationships between retinal vessel diameter, physical fitness, insulin sensitivity, and systemic inflammation. METHODS We evaluated 157 adolescents, 112 with excessive weight and 45 lean, all without type 2 diabetes mellitus. All received detailed evaluations, including measurements of retinal vessel diameter, insulin sensitivity, levels of inflammation, and physical fitness. RESULTS Overweight/obese adolescents had significantly narrower retinal arteriolar and wider venular diameters, significantly lower insulin sensitivity, and physical fitness. They also had decreased levels of anti-inflammatory and increased levels of proinflammatory markers as well as an overall higher inflammation balance score. Fitness was associated with larger retinal arteriolar and narrower venular diameters and these relationships were mediated by insulin sensitivity. We demonstrate that inflammation also mediates the relationship between fitness and retinal venular, but not arterial diameter; insulin sensitivity and inflammation balance score jointly mediate this relationship with little overlap in their effects. CONCLUSIONS Increasing fitness and insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation among adolescents carrying excess weight may improve microvascular integrity. Interventions to improve physical fitness and insulin function and reduce inflammation in adolescents, a group likely to benefit from such interventions, may reduce not only cardiovascular disease in middle age, but also improve cerebrovascular function later in life.

BMC Nephrol 2016; 17:158. [PMID: 27770799 PMCID: PMC5075179 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-016-0372-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2016] [Accepted: 10/12/2016] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Correction of metabolic acidosis (MA) with nutritional therapy or bicarbonate administration is widely used in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. However, it is unknown whether these interventions reduce insulin resistance (IR) in diabetic patients with CKD. We sought to evaluate the effect of MA correction on endogenous insulin action in diabetic type 2 (DM2) CKD patients. Methods A total of 145 CKD subjects (83 men e 62 women) with DM2 treated with oral antidiabetic drugs were included in the study and followed up to 1 year. All patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to either open-label (A) oral bicarbonate to achieve serum bicarbonate levels of 24–28 mmol/L (treatment group) or (B) no treatment (control group). The Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) index was used to evaluate IR at study inception and conclusion. Parametric and non-parametric tests as well as linear regression were used. Results At baseline no differences in demographic and clinical characteristics between the two groups was observed. Average dose of bicarbonate in the treatment group was 0.7 ± 0.2 mmol/kg. Treated patients showed a better metabolic control as confirmed by lower insulin levels (13.4 ± 5.2 vs 19.9 ± 6.3; for treated and control subjects respectively; p < 0.001), Homa-IR (5.9[5.0-7.0] vs 6.3[5.3–8.2]; p = 0.01) and need for oral antidiabetic drugs. The serum bicarbonate and HOMA-IR relationship was non-linear and the largest HOMA-IR reduction was noted for serum bicarbonate levels between 24 and 28 mmol/l. Adjustment for confounders, suggests that serum bicarbonate rather than treatment drives the effect on HOMA-IR. Conclusions Serum bicarbonate is related to IR and the largest HOMA-IR reduction is noted for serum bicarbonate between 24 and 28 mmol/l. Treatment with bicarbonate influences IR. However, changes in serum bicarbonate explains the effect of treatment on HOMA index. Future efforts are required to validate these results in diabetic and non-diabetic CKD patients. Trial registration The trial was registered at www.clinicaltrial.gov (Use of Bicarbonate in Chronic Renal Insufficiency (UBI) study - NCT01640119)
