Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has promise for treating diabetes and its associated comorbidities. It has been found to reduce blood glucose in mice and humans; however, its underlying mechanism is not known. Here, the metabolic function of FGF21 in diabetes was investigated. Diabetic db/db mice received intraperitoneal injections of FGF21 for 28 days, the serum of each mouse was collected, and their metabolites were analyzed by untargeted metabolomics using UHPLC-MS/MS. It was found that FGF21 reduced blood glucose and oral glucose tolerance without causing hypoglycemia. Moreover, administration of FGF21 reduced the levels of TG and LDL levels while increasing those of HDL and adiponectin. Importantly, the levels of 45 metabolites, including amino acids and lipids, were significantly altered, suggesting their potential as biomarkers. We speculated that FGF21 may treat T2DM through the regulation of fatty acid biosynthesis, the TCA cycle, and vitamin digestion and absorption. These findings provide insight into the mechanism of FGF21 in diabetes and suggest its potential for treating diabetes.

Abstract
In the presented study, natural rice containing high resistant starch content was used as a raw material to produce rice resistant starch (RRS) through enzymatic hydrolysis with heat-stable α-amylase and glucoamylase. The chemical composition, structural characteristics and in vitro glycemic index (GI) of RRS were evaluated. The effects of RRS at different doses on the body weight, serum biochemical levels, pathological indexes, production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the gut and the intestinal microbial composition in T2DM mice were investigated. The results of physiochemical characterization indicated that, relative to rice flour, RRS mainly comprising resistant starch had higher crystallinity (25.85%) and a more stable structure, which contributed to its lower digestibility and decreased GI in vitro. Compared with the model control group, 1 g per kg BW and 2 g per kg BW oral gavage dosages of RRS effectively enhanced the SCFA productivity in the T2DM mouse gut, as well as alleviating T2DM symptoms, involving an increase in body weight, reduction in fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase, and an increase in serum insulin and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Besides, 1 g per kg BW and 2 g per kg BW dosages of RRS mitigated T2DM-induced pancreas damage. Furthermore, up-regulation in the abundance of probiotics (Lactobacillus, Ruminococcus, etc.) and down-regulation in the number of harmful bacteria (Desulfovibrio, Prevotella, etc.) were observed in all RRS-treated groups. In summary, this work suggested that RRS prepared using heat-stable α-amylase and glucoamylase could be a potential functional component for amelioration of T2DM applied in the fields of food and pharmaceutics.

Abstract
High rice consumption levels accompanied by a lifestyle lacking in physical activity leads to obesity and diabetes due to the rice consumed generally has high digestibility and high glycemic index. Red palm oil (RPO) is a vegetable oil suggested to have the potential to reduce starch digestibility and increase the bioactive compounds of rice. This research aimed to find out the best cooking method to produce rice with a sensory quality similar to regular rice and to study the effect of the best cooking method on the glycemic response and physicochemical properties of rice. The results showed that RPO addition increased the antioxidant activities and total carotenoid levels of rice. The addition of RPO after cooking has better antioxidant activity and total carotenoid than before cooking. Adding 2% RPO before or after cooking produced rice with similar or better sensory quality than regular rice. Rice cooked with 2% RPO added before cooking had a lower glycemic response than regular rice, which was suggested to be caused by the increasing formation of the amylose lipid complex and the triglycerides that protected the starch from amylase enzyme. The formation of the amylose lipid complex and triglyceride layers protecting rice starch was confirmed by the new peaks of the FTIR spectra, the appearance of oil-coated starch morphology, and the changes in the proportion of C and O atoms. In conclusion, the addition of 2% RPO before the cooking process can be considered as a cooking method to produce rice for diabetic patients.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131174.

Abstract
Taurocholic acid (TCA) is abundant in the rat intestine and has multiple health benefits. In the gut, intestinal microbiota can transform TCA into different bile acid (BA) derivatives, with the composition of microbiota playing a crucial role in the transformation process. This study aims to investigate how lotus seed resistant starch (LRS) can regulate microbiota to influence BA transformation. A fecal fermentation study was conducted in vitro, using either LRS, high-amylose maize starch (HAMS), or glucose (GLU) to analyze microbiota composition, BA content, and metabolic enzyme activities over different fermentation times. Bioinformatics analysis found that LRS increased the relative abundance of Enterococcus, Bacillus, and Lactobacillus, and decreased Escherichia-Shigella, compared with HAMS and GLU. LRS also reduced total BA content and accelerated the conversion of TCA to cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, and other derivatives. These results reveal that LRS and GLU tend to mediate the dehydroxy pathway, whereas HAMS tends to secrete metabolic enzymes in the epimerization pathway. Therefore, the evidence that LRS may regulate TCA bioconversion may benefit human colon health research and provide an important theoretical basis, as well as offer new concepts for the development of functional foods.

Abstract
CONTEXT Apparently, the consumption of resistant-starch food sources, such as green banana biomass, stimulates the proliferation of short-chain fatty acid intestinal bacteria producers, which can contribute to intestinal health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. However, the available scientific evidence is scarce and no study has systematically evaluated such evidence. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the potential effects of green banana biomass on anthropometry, body composition, and biochemical and intestinal variables in humans and animals. DATA SOURCES The Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science electronic databases were searched in January 2024 for eligible articles. Studies that tested the effects of cooked peeled or unpeeled green banana on anthropometric, biochemical, and/or intestinal variables were included. DATA EXTRACTION This systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The classification and assessment of the quality of studies were based on the relevant criteria related to the design of these studies and the quality criteria checklist of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics manual. Twelve studies published between 2001 and 2021 were included in the review. DATA ANALYSIS The results of human studies indicate that the ingestion of green banana biomass controlled intestinal dysfunction (50-300 g/day for 5-14 days or 30 g/day for 8 wk) in children, and showed potential anti-obesogenic, anti-hyperlipidemic, and antidiabetic (40 g/day for 24 wk) effects in adults. In rats, biomass consumption led to potential anti-obesogenic (25 g/day for 8 wk), anti-hyperlipidemic, and antidiabetic (∼8-30 g/day for 12 wk) effects. CONCLUSION Consumption of green banana biomass seems to exert beneficial effects on intestinal function and potential effects on obesity, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. These effects may be related to increased fecal short-chain fatty acid concentrations as a result of type 3 resistant starch present in biomass.

Exploring the effects of the dietary fiber compound mediated by a longevity dietary pattern on antioxidation, characteristic bacterial genera, and metabolites based on fecal metabolomics. Nutr Metab (Lond) 2024; 21:18.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Age-related dysbiosis of the microbiota has been linked to various negative health outcomes. This study aims to investigate the effects of a newly discovered dietary fiber compound (DFC) on aging, intestinal microbiota, and related metabolic processes. The DFC was identified through in vitro fermentation screening experiments, and its dosage and composition were determined based on a longevity dietary pattern. METHODS Aged SPF C57BL/6 J mice (65 weeks old) and young mice (8 weeks old) were divided into three groups: a subgroup without dietary fiber (NDF), a low DFC dose subgroup (LDF, 10% DFC), and a high DFC dose subgroup (HDF, 20% DFC). The total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in liver and serum samples of the mice were measured according to the manufacturer's protocol. The expression levels of characteristic bacterial genera and fecal metabolite concentrations in mice were determined using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy (1H NMR). Metabolomics analysis was further conducted to identify biological functions and potential pathways related to aging. RESULTS After an 8-weeks dietary intervention, DFC supplementation significantly attenuated age-related weight loss, organ degeneration, and oxidative stress. And promoted the growth of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Bacteroides (p < 0.05) in the intestinal tracts of aged mice. Metabolomic analysis identified glycolipid and amino acid metabolic pathway biomarkers associated with aging that were differentially regulated by DFC consumption. Correlation analysis between the identified microbial flora and the biomarkers revealed potential mechanistic links between altered microbial composition and metabolic activity with aging markers. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, this study revealed an important mechanism by which DFC consumption impacts healthspan and longevity, shedding light on optimizing dietary fiber or developing fiber-based interventions to improve human health.

Abstract
Nutrition is one of the most influential environmental factors in both taxonomical shifts in gut microbiota as well as in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Emerging evidence has shown that the effects of nutrition on both these parameters is not mutually exclusive and that changes in gut microbiota and related metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) may influence systemic inflammation and signaling pathways that contribute to pathophysiological processes associated with T2DM. With this background, our review highlights the effects of macronutrients, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, as well as micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals, on T2DM, specifically through their alterations in gut microbiota and the metabolites they produce. Additionally, we describe the influences of common food groups, which incorporate varying combinations of these macronutrients and micronutrients, on both microbiota and metabolic parameters in the context of diabetes mellitus. Overall, nutrition is one of the first line modifiable therapies in the management of T2DM and a better understanding of the mechanisms by which gut microbiota influence its pathophysiology provides opportunities for optimizing dietary interventions.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Limosilactobacillus fermentum and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum isolated from human feces coordinating with inulin on the composition of gut microbiota and metabolic profiles in db/db mice. These supplements were administered to db/db mice for 12 weeks. The results showed that the Lactobacillaceae coordinating with inulin group (LI) exhibited lower fasting blood glucose levels than the model control group (MC). Additionally, LI was found to enhance colon tissue and increase the levels of short-chain fatty acids. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that the abundance of Corynebacterium and Proteus, which were significantly increased in the MC group compared with NC group, were significantly decreased by the treatment of LI that also restored the key genera of the Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, Lachnoclostridium, Ruminococcus_gnavus_group, Desulfovibrio, and Lachnospiraceae_UCG-006. Untargeted metabolomics analysis showed that lotaustralin, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, and 13(S)-HpODE were increased while L-phenylalanine and L-tryptophan were decreased in the MC group compared with the NC group. However, the intervention of LI reversed the levels of these metabolites in the intestine. Correlation analysis revealed that Lachnoclostridium and Ruminococcus_gnavus_group were negatively correlated with 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and 13(S)-HpODE, but positively correlated with L-tryptophan. 13(S)-HpODE was involved in the "linoleic acid metabolism". L-tryptophan and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were involved in "tryptophan metabolism" and "serotonergic synapse". These findings suggest that LI may alleviate type 2 diabetes symptoms by modulating the abundance of Ruminococcus_gnavus_group and Lachnoclostridium to regulate the pathways of "linoleic acid metabolism", "serotonergic synapse", and" tryptophan metabolism". Our results provide new insights into prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Dietary fiber is a carbohydrate polymer with ten or more monomeric units that are resistant to digestion by human digestive enzymes, and it has gained widespread attention due to its significant role in health improvement through regulating gut microbiota. In this review, we summarized the interaction between dietary fiber, gut microbiota, and obesity, and the beneficial effects of dietary fiber on obesity through the modulation of microbiota, such as modifying selective microbial composition, producing starch-degrading enzymes, improving gut barrier function, reducing the inflammatory response, reducing trimethylamine N-oxide, and promoting the production of gut microbial metabolites (e.g., short chain fatty acids, bile acids, ferulic acid, and succinate). In addition, factors affecting the gut microbiota composition and metabolites by dietary fiber (length of the chain, monosaccharide composition, glycosidic bonds) were also concluded. Moreover, strategies for enhancing the biological activity of dietary fiber (fermentation technology, ultrasonic modification, nanotechnology, and microfluidization) were subsequently discussed. This review may provide clues for deeply exploring the structure-activity relationship between dietary fiber and antiobesity properties by targeting specific gut microbiota.

Abstract
Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposite Thunb.) has been used as food and medicine to treat diarrhea for thousands of years. This article aimed to elucidate the potential mechanism of Dioscoreae Rhizoma starch in alleviating chronic diarrhea induced by rhubarb based on gut microbiotas and fecal metabolome. The administration of the Dioscoreae Rhizoma aqueous extracts, crude polysaccharides, and starch could improve diarrhea and alleviate intestinal injury in chronic diarrhea rats. The Dioscoreae Rhizoma starch displayed the most apparent effect on regulating intestinal microbiotas by increasing the abundance and diversity of microbiotas. At the genus level, there were 17 changed intestinal microbiotas in model rats, and the treatment with Dioscoreae Rhizoma starch regulated 11 microbiotas. Metabolomics analysis revealed that Dioscoreae Rhizoma starch could regulate abnormal fecal metabolites to alleviate diarrhea, and these metabolites are involved in phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis; tyrosine metabolism; vitamin B6 metabolism; and purine metabolism. This study will contribute to the further research and development of Dioscoreae Rhizoma starch.

Abstract
Millet protein has gained much attention for its beneficial effects in mitigating metabolic diseases. However, most individuals pass through a prediabetic phase before developing full-blown diabetes, and whether millet protein has hypoglycemic effects on prediabetic mice remains unclear. In the present study, heat-treated foxtail millet protein (HMP) supplementation significantly decreased fasting blood glucose and serum insulin levels, alleviated insulin resistance, and improved impaired glucose tolerance in prediabetic mice. In addition, HMP altered the intestinal flora composition, as evidenced by the reduction in the abundance of Dubosiella and Marvinbryantia and the increase in the content of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and norank_f_Erysipelotrichaceae. Moreover, HMP supplementation dramatically regulated the levels of serum metabolites (i.e., LysoPCs, 11,14,17-eicosatrienoic acid, and sphingosine) and related metabolic pathways, such as sphingolipid metabolism and pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis. In conclusion, the improvement of gut microbiota and serum metabolic profiles was related to the hypoglycemic potential of HMP in prediabetes.

Pugh JE, Cai M, Altieri N, Frost G. A comparison of the effects of resistant starch types on glycemic response in individuals with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1118229. [PMID: 37051127 PMCID: PMC10085630 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1118229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) diagnoses are predicted to reach 643 million by 2030, increasing incidences of cardiovascular disease and other comorbidities. Rapidly digestible starch elevates postprandial glycemia and impinges glycemic homeostasis, elevating the risk of developing T2D. Starch can escape digestion by endogenous enzymes in the small intestine when protected by intact plant cell walls (resistant starch type 1), when there is a high concentration of amylose (resistant starch type 2) and when the molecule undergoes retrogradation (resistant starch type 3) or chemical modification (resistant starch type 4). Dietary interventions using resistant starch may improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. However, few studies have explored the differential effects of resistant starch type. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the effects of the resistant starch from intact plant cell structures (resistant starch type 1) and resistant starch from modified starch molecules (resistant starch types 2-5) on fasting and postprandial glycemia in subjects with T2D and prediabetes. Methods Databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Web of Science) were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials. Standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were determined using random-effects models. Sub-group analyses were conducted between subjects with T2D versus prediabetes and types of resistant starch. Results The search identified 36 randomized controlled trials (n = 982), 31 of which could be included in the meta-analysis. Resistant starch type 1 and type 2 lowered acute postprandial blood glucose [SMD (95% CI) = -0.54 (-1.0, -0.07)] and [-0.96 (-1.61, -0.31)]. Resistant starch type 2 improved acute postprandial insulin response [-0.71 (-1.31, -0.11)]. In chronic studies, resistant starch type 1 and 2 lowered postprandial glucose [-0.38 (-0.73, -0.02), -0.29 (-0.53, -0.04), respectively] and resistant starch type 2 intake improved fasting glucose [-0.39 (-0.66, -0.13)] and insulin [-0.40 (-0.60, -0.21)]. Conclusion Resistant starch types 1 and 2 may influence glucose homeostasis via discrete mechanisms, as they appear to influence glycemia differently. Further research into resistant starch types 3, 4, and 5 is required to elucidate their effect on glucose metabolism. The addition of resistant starch as a dietary intervention for those with T2D or prediabetes may prevent further deterioration of glycemic control.

Effects of microwave and conventional heating on physicochemical, digestive, and structural properties of debranched quinoa starch-oleic acid complexes with different water addition. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2023; 103:2146-2154.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A starch-lipid complex is a new type of resistant starch, which is of great importance for the prevention of chronic diseases such as diabetes. Most starch-lipid complexes usually need to be treated by heating to make them suitable for a variety of applications, and starch-based foods are generally not edible without a heat-treatment process. However, the digestion and structural properties of the starch-lipid complex will be changed after heating. In this study, microwave and conventional heating were used to treat debranched quinoa starch-oleic acid complexes (DQS-OA) with different water addition conditions, and the effects of the two methods on the physicochemical, digestive, and structural properties of DQS-OA were compared. RESULTS The results of in vitro digestibility showed that the resistant starch content (235.34-269.55 g kg-1 ) of the conventional heating-treated samples was significantly higher than that the microwave-treated samples (141.51-157.99 g kg-1 ). Moreover, after microwave treatment, the short-range molecular order and crystalline structure of DQS-OA were destroyed and the particle size became smaller. In contrast, the thermal stability, enthalpy, and crystallinity of the complexes after conventional heating were improved. The ratio at 1047/1022 cm-1 of complexes has also been increased. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that conventional water-bath heating was better than microwave heating in increasing digestion resistance, improving the short-range and long-range molecular order, and promoting the formation of DQS-OA. With an increase in water addition, the influence of microwave or water-bath treatment on the properties of DQS-OA became greater. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The effects of different dosage of NaCl and sucrose on the structural and functional properties of debranched quinoa starch-oleic acid complexes (DQS-OA) under baking were investigated. The results showed that the resistant starch content of the baked DQS-OA increased by 17.15 % than DQS-OA. The addition of NaCl destroyed the thermal stability, short-range molecular order and crystalline structure of the complexes. The results of particle size, SEM and amylose content showed that NaCl accelerated the degradation of starch granules, which reduced the enzyme resistance of starch. In contrast, the enthalpy (7.28 J/g-7.78 J/g) and crystallinity (54.29 %-56.69 %) of the samples with sucrose significantly increased, and the molecular structure of the complexes became more ordered. Furthermore, with the increase of sucrose concentration, the resistant starch content also increased from 28.80 % to 31.41 %.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different dietary fiber compounds (DFCs) on characteristic human flora and their metabolites mediated by the longevity dietary pattern analyzed by in vitro fermentation. The results show that DFC1 (cereal fiber) increased the level of Lactobacillus (p < 0.05), DFC2 (fruit and vegetable and cereal fiber) promoted the growth of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium more significantly than DFC3 (fruit and vegetable fiber) (p < 0.01), and all three DFCs decreased the level of Escherichia coli (p < 0.05). The metabolomic analysis showed that there was variability in the metabolites and the metabolic pathways of different DFCs. The redundancy analysis revealed that the fiber content was positively correlated with Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides, acetic acid, butyric acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, and betaine, and negatively correlated with Escherichia coli, succinic acid, alanine, choline, aspartic acid, and α-glucose. Overall, this study found that different DFCs have different positive correlations on characteristic human flora and metabolites, and DFC2 is more favorable to the proliferation of the intestinal beneficial genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium after in vitro fermentation, having a probiotic role in glucose, amino acid, and lipid metabolisms. This study may provide a theoretical reference for the search of optimal dietary fiber combination strategies mediated by longevity dietary pattern.

Abstract
Three different methods, including autoclaving, autoclaving-debranching, and purification, were used to prepare Kudzu-resistant starch (KRS) from Kudzu starch (KS). The physicochemical properties, such as thermodynamic properties, pasting properties, solubility, swelling, and coagulability, as well as the in vitro digestive characteristics of the three kinds of KRS were studied. The results showed that the morphology of starch granules of KRS prepared by autoclave, autoclave enzymatic hydrolysis, and purification methods was changed and the relative crystallinity was significantly decreased compared with the original starch. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that KRS exists in the form of C and C+V crystalline form. There was a significant increase in the pasting temperature and a remarkable decrease in the peak viscosity and the expansion degree of the KRS prepared by all three methods. The solubility of the resistant starch (RS) obtained by autoclaving-debranching and that by purification were both increased compared to that of native KS, while the solubility of the RS obtained by autoclaving was decreased. Meanwhile, the retrogradation of the three RS was also improved to varying degrees. The contents of RS in the samples were: P-KRS (71%) > DA-KRS (43%) > A-KRS (42%) > KS (9%). Simulated human in vitro digestion experiments showed that RS has stronger antidigestibility properties than native starch. Among them, the RS prepared by the purification method has stronger antidigestive properties, and it is predicted that it may have a better potential value in regulating blood glucose. These results indicated that the processing properties of KRS, especially the digestibility, are significantly improved and can be used as a new functional food ingredient, which deserves thorough study.

Abstract
Metabolomics, as a new omics technology, has been widely accepted by researchers and has shown great potential in the field of nutrition and health in recent years. This review briefly introduces the process of metabolomics analysis, including sample preparation and extraction, derivatization, separation and detection, and data processing. This paper focuses on the application of metabolomics in food-derived bioactive ingredients. For example, metabolomics techniques are used to analyze metabolites in food to find bioactive substances or new metabolites in food materials. Moreover, bioactive substances have been tested in vitro and in vivo, as well as in humans, to investigate the changes of metabolites and the underlying metabolic pathways, among which metabolomics is used to find potential biomarkers and targets. Metabolomics provides a new approach for the prevention and regulation of chronic diseases and the study of the underlying mechanisms. It also provides strong support for the development of functional food or drugs. Although metabolomics has some limitations such as low sensitivity, poor repeatability, and limited detection range, it is developing rapidly in general, and also in the field of nutrition and health. At the end of this paper, we put forward our own insights on the development prospects of metabolomics in the application of bioactive ingredients in food.

Abstract
Accumulating attention has been focused on resistant starch (RS) due to its blood-lipid-lowering activities. However, reports on the potential bioactivities of RS for preventing hyperlipidemia acute pancreatitis (HLAP) are limited. Therefore, in this study, an acute pancreatitis model was set up by feeding a hyperlipidemia diet to rats, and subsequently evaluating the anti-HLAP effect of RS in kidney beans. The results show that the IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α of serum in each RS group were decreased by 18.67-50.00%, 7.92-22.89%, and 8.06-34.04%, respectively, compared with the model group (MOD). In addition, the mRNA expression of tight junction protein ZO-1, occludin, and antibacterial peptides CRAMP and DEFB1 of rats in each RS group increased by 26.43-60.07%, 229.98-279.90%, 75.80-111.20%, and 77.86-109.07%, respectively. The height of the villi in the small intestine and the thickness of the muscle layer of rats were also increased, while the depth of the crypt decreased. The present study indicates that RS relieves intestinal inflammation, inhibits oxidative stress, and prevents related intestinal barrier damage. These results support the supplementation of RS as an effective nutritional intervention for HLAP and associated intestinal injury.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare changes in the metabolite levels of ex-smokers and nonsmokers using a metabolomics approach, accounting for the weight gain in ex-smokers. Volunteer ex-smokers and nonsmokers were recruited from two cohorts Shijingshan (174) and Xishan (78), respectively, at a 1 : 1 ratio for age and sex. Nontargeted metabolomics was performed on the volunteers' blood samples using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and multivariate statistical analysis was performed using principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis. Enrichment analysis was used to identify Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways associated with differential metabolites and weighted gene co-expression network analysis and maximal correlation coefficient (MCC) algorithms were used to identify key metabolites. The results revealed no significant differences between the distribution of blood metabolite levels in the ex-smokers and nonsmokers. The biosynthesis of valine, leucine, and isoleucine was determined to be associated with differential metabolites, and five key metabolites were identified. Further analysis revealed differences in weight gain and regained metabolite levels in ex-smokers, and 10 differential metabolites were identified that may be associated with weight gain in ex-smokers. These findings suggest that quitting smoking restores metabolites to almost normal levels and results in weight gain. The identified key metabolites and metabolic pathways may also provide a basis for clinical studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it is unknown whether acylcarnitine changes in the patient's plasma as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) occurs. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the correlation between acylcarnitines and DPN in Chinese patients with T2DM. METHODS A total of 508 patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University were included in this study, and all of whom were hospitalized for T2DM from January 2018 to December 2020. The diagnostic criteria for DPN were based on the 2017 Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes. The contents of 25 acylcarnitine metabolites in fasting blood were determined by mass spectrometry. The measured acylcarnitines were classified by factor analysis, and the factors were extracted. To determine the correlation between acylcarnitines and DPN, binary logistic regression analysis was applied. RESULTS Among the 508 T2DM patients, 270 had DPN. Six factors were extracted from 25 acylcarnitines, and the cumulative contribution rate of variance was 61.02%. After the adjustment for other potential confounding factors, such as other carnitines and conventional risk factors, Factor 2 was positively associated with an increased risk of DPN (OR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.13-1.69). Factor 2 contained acetylcarnitine (C2), propionylcarnitine (C3), butylcarnitine (C4), and isovalerylcarnitine (C5). CONCLUSIONS Plasma levels of short-chain acylcarnitines (C2, C3, C4, and C5) were positively associated with DPN risk.

Abstract
Metabolomics is the analysis of numerous small molecules known as metabolites. Over the past few years, with the continuous development in metabolomics, it has been widely used in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetes and has demonstrated great benefits. At the same time, studies on diabetes and its complications have discovered the metabolic markers that are characteristic of diabetes. However, the pathogenesis of diabetes has yet to be clarified, as well as no complete cure. The mechanism of diabetes has not been completely elucidated, and its eradication treatment is not available. Thus, prevention of the onset of the disease and its treatment have become very important. In this review, we focused on the recent progress in the use of metabolites in diabetes and their complications, as well as understanding the impact of diabetes metabolites.

Abstract
The desire for foods with lower glycemic indices has led to the exploration of functional ingredients and novel food processing techniques. The glycemic index (GI) is a well-recognized tool to assess the capacity of foods to raise blood glucose levels. Among cereal crops, oats have shown the greatest promise for mitigating glycemic response. This review evaluated decades of research on the effects of oat components on the GI level of oat-based foods with specific emphasis on oat starch, β-glucans, proteins, and phenolics. The effects of commonly used processing techniques in oats on GI level, including heating, cooling, and germination were also discussed. In addition, the GI of oat-based foods in various physical formats such as whole grain, flakes, and flour was systematically summarized. The aim of this review was to synthesize knowledge of the field and to provide a deeper understanding of how the chemical composition and processing of oats affect GI, thereby further benefiting the development of low-GI oat foods.
