Abstract
Hyperglycemia is one of the diagnostic issues in diabetes mellitus and is considered as a complex metabolic condition. It has been one of the most prevalent illnesses of the twenty-first century and still rising at an alarming rate across the globe and expected to impact 693 million individuals by 2045. Therefore, it is mandatory to develop more effective and safer treatments to manage diabetes. One of the ways to manage hyperglycemia is through inhibiting carbohydrate digestion and thereby lowering the glucose formation in the human body. The enzyme salivary amylase and pancreatic amylase is responsible for cleaving α-1,4-glucoside bond. Amylase inhibitors can lower blood glucose in diabetics by slowing digestion. Ficus carica is commonly known for its medicinal properties due to its various phytochemicals. In the present study, 10 phytochemicals present in F. carica compounds named, β-carotene, lutein, cyanidin-3-glucoside, gallic acid, luteolin, catechin, kaempferol, vanillic acid, peonidin-3-glucoside, and quercetin hydrate were taken to study their inhibition potential against pancreatic amylase and salivary amylase through molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Further, density functional theory calculations are used to investigate the delocalization of electron density on the molecule as well as study ADME properties of the molecules take. A QSAR model has been developed using the binding energy obtained using molecular docking and thermodynamic parameters from DFT calculations.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex health issue include obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and chronic inflammation that increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). CVDs are of great concern in the disease progression and prognosis of T2DM. This review is a comprehensive examination of the literature on the relationship between T2DM and cardiovascular risk, nutrition-related cardiometabolic risk (CMR) factors, and impact of dietary modulations on CMR. RECENT FINDINGS In recent years the researches has been focus on the importance of a comprehensive treatment approach like dietary modulations to address multiple cardiovascular risk reductions, including hypertension and dyslipidemia. Modulation of dietary patterns are the most promising interventions to prevent CMR factors and T2DM via affecting the body weight, glucose control, and microbial diversity of individuals. Current evidence suggests that high-quality dietary patterns such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan and the Mediterranean diet is important in the metabolic control processes of T2DM with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds, glucagon-like peptide agonist compounds, and intestinal microbiota changes. Nutrition plays a critical role in preventing and improving CVD outcomes in patients with T2DM. Dietary modulations should be planned considering individual differences in responses to dietary composition and nutritional changes, personal preferences, eating behaviors and gut microbiota differences.

Abstract
Purpose Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) frequently presents with modified cardiometabolic risk profiles, indicative of an elevated susceptibility to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia are known contributors to increased CVD hazard in individuals with T2DM. This study evaluated the glycemic control-based cardiometabolic risk profiles of black Zimbabweans with T2DM. Patients and Methods A cross-sectional study of 116 T2DM patients recruited from diabetic clinics at Parirenyatwa and Sally Mugabe Hospitals, Harare, Zimbabwe, was conducted. Blood samples were collected for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and lipid profile assessment. The Framingham risk scores (FRS) based on body mass index (BMI) and lipid profile were used to determine CVD risk. Parametric variables were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post hoc Bonferroni correction, while non-parametric variables were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc Dunn test for multiple comparisons. Results The overall frequency of dyslipidemia was 83.6% (n=97) and hypoalphalipoproteinemia was the most prevalent dyslipidemia (79.3%). Median HDLC levels were significantly lower in participants with poor glycemic control (1.12 mmol/L) compared to those with good glycemic control group (1.37 mmol/L) (p=0.011). Despite lack of significant variations in Framingham Risk Scores, there was a trend towards lower FRS-BMI in the good control group (29.8%) compared to the inadequate control (35.4%) and poor control (32.7%) groups (p=0.078). Conclusion Duration since DM diagnosis was observed to be an important risk factor for poor glycemic control being significantly shorter in those with good glycemic control compared to those with inadequate and poor control. Overall, there was no significant difference in HbA1c status by age but individuals with poor glycemic control were significantly older than those with good control. The most prevalent dyslipidemia among the study participants was hypoalphalipoproteinemia which is reportedly associated with genetic predisposition, warranting further investigations.

Bone proteins are associated with cardiovascular risk according to the SCORE2-Diabetes algorithm. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:311. [PMID: 39182106 PMCID: PMC11344922 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02406-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Typical bone proteins, such as sclerostin and periostin, have been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Simultaneously, several risk scores have been developed to predict CVD in the general population. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the association of these bone proteins related to CVD, with the main vascular risk scales: Framingham Risk Score (FRS), REGICOR and SCORE2-Diabetes, in patients with type 2 diabetes. We focus in particular on the SCORE2-Diabetes algorithm, which predicts 10-year CVD risk and is specific to the study population. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study including 104 patients with type 2 diabetes (62 ± 6 years, 60% males). Clinical data, biochemical measurements, and serum bioactive sclerostin and periostin levels were collected, and different risk scales were calculated. The association between bioactive sclerostin or periostin with the risk scales was analyzed. RESULTS A positive correlation was observed between circulating levels of bioactive sclerostin (p < 0.001) and periostin (p < 0.001) with SCORE2-Diabetes values. However, no correlation was found with FRS or REGICOR scales. Both serum bioactive sclerostin and periostin levels were significantly elevated in patients at high-very high risk of CVD (score ≥ 10%) than in the low-moderate risk group (score < 10%) (p < 0.001 for both). Moreover, analyzing these proteins to identify patients with type 2 diabetes at high-very high vascular risk using ROC curves, we observed significant AUC values for bioactive sclerostin (AUC = 0.696; p = 0.001), periostin (AUC = 0.749; p < 0.001), and the model combining both (AUC = 0.795; p < 0.001). For diagnosing high-very high vascular risk, serum bioactive sclerostin levels > 131 pmol/L showed 51.6% sensitivity and 78.6% specificity. Similarly, serum periostin levels > 1144 pmol/L had 64.5% sensitivity and 76.2% specificity. CONCLUSIONS Sclerostin and periostin are associated with vascular risk in the SCORE2-Diabetes algorithm, opening a new line of investigation to identify novel biomarkers of cardiovascular risk in the type 2 diabetes population.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant health concern, particularly among patients with diabetes. The weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI), a novel metric that accounts for central obesity, has shown potential in predicting obesity-related health risks. This study aimed to evaluate the association of WWI with CVD and mortality in patients with diabetes. Utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2020, WWI was calculated by dividing waist circumference (WC) by the square root of body weight. Multivariate logistic regression, multivariate Cox regression and restricted cubic spline curves were used to assess the association between WWI and the prevalence of CVD and mortality in patients with diabetes, subgroup and sensitivity analyses were carried out to delve into the stability of the findings. The predictive performance of WWI was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). This study included 8,005 individuals with diabetes. With the increase in WWI values, the risk of developing CVD and the likelihood of mortality progressively rise. The fully adjusted continuous model indicated a 28% higher chance of developing CVD and a 25% higher risk of all-cause mortality for each one-unit increase in WWI. When using the lowest quartile of WWI as the reference category, the highest quartile was linked to an increased risk of CVD (OR 1.66; 95% CI 1.10-2.50, p = 0.015) and all-cause mortality (HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.27-1.83, p < 0.001) among patients with diabetes. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses confirmed that these associations were consistent and stable in most different demographics. The ROC analysis indicated that WWI had a higher predictive capacity for CVD and all-cause mortality than WC, waist to hip ratio, and weight to height ratio. The WWI was significantly associated with the prevalence of CVD and all-cause mortality among patients with diabetes in the United States and may serve as a useful tool for identifying individuals at risk.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formation increases with metabolic disorders, leading to higher serum AGE levels in patients with progressive vascular complications. Measuring AGE levels in biological samples requires multiple pre-analytical processing steps, rendering analysis of multiple samples challenging. This study evaluated the progression of diabetic complications by analyzing AGE levels using a pre-analytical processing strategy based on a fully automated solid phase-extraction system. Serum samples from patients with diabetes, with or without macrovascular complications (Mac or non-Mac) or microvascular complications (Mic or non-Mic), were processed with the established methods. Free and total AGE levels in sera were measured using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In patients with diabetes, both free and total AGE levels were elevated in those with complications compared to those without complications. In Mac and Mic groups, free and total AGE levels and z-scores (the sum of normalized AGE levels) also increased. AGE z-scores were markedly higher than those of single AGE levels in distinguishing each complication. Our study demonstrated that the free AGE z-score, measured using a new analytical method without hydrolysis, correlated with the presence of vascular complications and may serve as a marker of disease complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and aortic regurgitation (AR) can present with right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. The current study aimed to evaluate the impact of AR on RV impairment and the importance of ventricular interdependence using cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR‑FT) in patients with T2DM. METHODS This study included 229 patients with T2DM (AR-), 88 patients with T2DM (AR+), and 122 healthy controls. The biventricular global radial strain (GRS), global circumferential strain (GCS), and global longitudinal peak strain (GLS) were calculated with CMR‑FT and compared among the healthy control, T2DM (AR-), and T2DM (AR+) groups. The RV regional strains at the basal, mid, and apical cavities between the T2DM (AR+) group and subgroups with different AR degrees were compared. Backward stepwise multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to determine the effects of AR and left ventricular (LV) strains on RV strains. RESULTS The RV GLS, LV GRS, LV GCS, LV GLS, interventricular septal (IVS) GRS and IVS GCS were decreased gradually from the controls through the T2DM (AR-) group to the T2DM (AR+) group. The IVS GLS of the T2DM (AR-) and T2DM (AR+) groups was lower than that of the control group. AR was independently associated with LV GRS, LV GCS, LV GLS, RV GCS, and RV GLS. If AR and LV GLSs were included in the regression analyses, AR and LV GLS were independently associated with RV GLS. CONCLUSION AR can exacerbate RV dysfunction in patients with T2DM, which may be associated with the superimposed strain injury of the left ventricle and interventricular septum. The RV longitudinal and circumferential strains are important indicators of cardiac injury in T2DM and AR. The unfavorable LV-RV interdependence supports that while focusing on improving LV function, RV dysfunction should be monitored and treated in order to slow the progression of the disease and the onset of adverse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multidisciplinary collaborative care has been widely recommended as an effective strategy for managing diabetes; however, the cardiovascular risk factors of patients with diabetes are often inadequately managed in primary care settings. This study aimed to assess the effect of multidisciplinary collaboration on cardiovascular risk factors among patients with diabetes in primary care settings. METHODS Five databases (i.e., Medline, Embase, CINAHL, SCOPUS and CENTRAL) were systematically searched to retrieve randomised controlled trials. Studies were eligible for inclusion if the interventions included a multidisciplinary team with professionals from at least three health disciplines and focused on patients with diabetes in primary care settings. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled effects. RESULTS In total, 19 studies comprising 6538 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that compared with usual care, multidisciplinary collaborative care significantly reduced cardiovascular risk factors, including mean systolic blood pressure (-3.27 mm Hg, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: -4.72 to -1.82, p < 0.01), diastolic blood pressure (-1.4 mm Hg, 95 % CI: -2.32 to -0.47, p < 0.01), glycated haemoglobin (-0.42 %, 95 % CI: -0.59 to -0.25, p < 0.01), low-density lipoprotein (-0.16 mmol/L, 95 % CI: -0.26 to -0.06, p < 0.01) and high-density lipoprotein (0.06 mmol/L, 95 % CI: 0.00-0.12, p < 0.05). The subgroup analysis showed multidisciplinary collaboration was more effective in reducing cardiovascular risk factors when it comprised team members from a number of different disciplines, combined pharmacological and non-pharmacological components, included both face-to-face and remote interactions and was implemented in high-income countries. CONCLUSION Multidisciplinary collaborative care is associated with reduced cardiovascular risk factors among patients with diabetes in primary care. Further studies need to be conducted to determine the optimal team composition.

Abstract
Objective Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common chronic metabolic disease, and its prevalence is increasing globally. Exercise is crucial for T2D management, yet many aspects of its mechanisms remain unclear. This study employs CiteSpace to reveal research hotspots and frontier issues in exercise intervention for T2D. Method A literature review spanning from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2022, was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), with keywords including "exercise," "type 2 diabetes," and "mechanisms." We analyzed network diagrams generated by CiteSpace, which depicted relationships among countries, authors, and keywords. Results This study includes 1,210 English papers from 555 journals, affiliated with 348 institutions across 80 countries/regions. Notably, the United States, China, and the United Kingdom account for nearly half of all publications. The University of Copenhagen leads in publication volume, followed by Harvard Medical School and the University of Colorado. Key authors include Kirwan, John P (Case Western Reserve University), Malin, Steven K (Rutgers University), and Pedersen, Bente Klarlund (University of Copenhagen). Based on co-occurrence analysis of keywords, it is evident that terms such as "disease," "glucagon-like peptide 1," and "cardiovascular risk factor" exhibit high intermediary centrality. Conclusion The analysis highlights ongoing investigations into molecular mechanisms, such as β-cell function enhancement, exerkines, and epigenetic mechanisms. Emerging areas include exercise response heterogeneity, circadian rhythm regulation, transcription factors, neurotrophic factors, and mitochondrial function. Future studies should prioritize understanding interactions between different exercise mechanisms and optimizing exercise prescriptions for T2D. Exercise prescriptions are crucial for effective interventions. Collaboration between countries and institutions is essential to understand the influences of different genetic backgrounds and environmental factors. Currently, a combination of aerobic and resistance training is considered the optimal form of exercise. However, considering time efficiency, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has gained widespread attention and research due to its ability to achieve similar exercise effects in a shorter duration. Additionally, circadian rhythm regulation may affect the exercise outcomes of diabetic individuals at different times of the day, particularly concerning the specific types, doses, and intensities used for precision intervention in T2D.

International guideline comparison of lifestyle management for acute coronary syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus: A rapid review. Health Policy 2024; 146:105116. [PMID: 38943831 DOI: 10.1016/j.healthpol.2024.105116] [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: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a life-threatening condition, with ACS-associated morbidity and mortality causing substantial human and economic challenges to the individual and health services. Due to shared disease determinants, those with ACS have a high risk of comorbid Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Despite this, the two conditions are managed separately, duplicating workload for staff and increasing the number of appointments and complexity of patient management plans. This rapid review compared current ACS and T2DM guidelines across Australia, Canada, Europe, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA. Results highlighted service overlap, repetition, and opportunities for integrated practice for ACS-T2DM lifestyle management across diet and nutrition, physical activity, weight management, clinical and psychological health. Recommendations are made for potential integration of ACS-T2DM service provision to streamline care and reduce siloed care in the context of the health services for ACS-T2DM and similar comorbid conditions.

The mediating role of chronic low-grade inflammation participation in the relationship between obesity and type 2 diabetes: findings from the NHANES. BMC Endocr Disord 2024; 24:130. [PMID: 39085863 PMCID: PMC11293100 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-024-01671-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic low-grade inflammation may mediate the relationship between obesity and diabetes, yet clinical research in this area remains scarce. Thus, this study aimed to explore the mediating role of chronic low-grade inflammation in this relationship using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). METHODS This study involved 2,482 participants enrolled in the NHANES between 2005 and 2016. Based on the complex sampling survey weights of NHANES, logistic regression models were fitted, adjusting for various covariates to investigate the relationship between BMI, INFLA score, and diabetes. Moreover, weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression models were fitted to analyze the proportional contribution of individual components within the INFLA score. Finally, mediation analysis was conducted to quantitatively assess the magnitude of the mediating effect of the INFLA score on the relationship between BMI and diabetes. RESULTS After adjusting for all potential confounding factors, a significant positive correlation was noted between INFLA score and diabetes [OR (95% CI), 1.038(1.003-1.075), p = 0.035]. Additionally, a significant positive correlation was observed between the high INFLA group and diabetes compared to the low INFLA group [OR (95% CI), 1.599(1.031-2.481), p = 0.037]. WQS regression models revealed that the proportional contributions of C-reactive protein, white blood cell count, platelet count, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were 55.5%, 34.8%, 8.46%, and 1.19%, respectively. Finally, the results of the mediation analysis indicated that the indirect effect of the INFLA score accounted for 10.20%. CONCLUSIONS Chronic low-grade inflammation was associated with diabetes and partially mediates the relationship between obesity and diabetes.

Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:278. [PMID: 39080630 PMCID: PMC11287982 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02374-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are commonly coexisting clinical entities with still growing incidence worldwide. Recently, circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as novel molecular players in cardiometabolic diseases. This study aimed to identify a specific miRNA signature as a candidate biomarker for CAD in T2DM and to delineate potential miRNA-dependent mechanisms contributing to diabetic atherosclerosis. METHODS A total of 38 plasma samples from T2DM patients with and without CAD, CAD patients and healthy controls were collected for expression profiling of 2,578 miRNAs using microarrays. To investigate the regulatory role of differentially expressed (DE)-miRNA target genes, functional annotation and pathway enrichment analyses were performed utilizing multiple bioinformatics tools. Then, protein-protein interaction networks were established leveraging the STRING database in Cytoscape software, followed by cluster analysis and hub gene identification. Reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was carried out for microarray data validation in the larger replication cohort of 94 participants. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was applied to evaluate the diagnostic values of miRNAs. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to develop miRNA-based diagnostic models. RESULTS In the discovery stage, overexpression of hsa-miR-4505, hsa-miR-4743-5p, hsa-miR-6846-5p, and down-regulation of hsa-miR-3613-3p, hsa-miR-4668-5p, hsa-miR-4706, hsa-miR-6511b-5p, hsa-miR-6750-5p, hsa-miR-4750-3p, hsa-miR-320e, hsa-miR-4717-3p, hsa-miR-7850-5p were detected in T2DM-CAD patients. The DE-miRNA target genes were significantly enriched in calcium ion binding, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, and gene expression. hsa-miR-4505, hsa-miR-4743-5p, and hsa-miR-4750-3p were found to be involved in fatty acid metabolism, leukocyte transendothelial migration, and neurotrophin signaling pathway. Dysregulation of hsa-miR-4505, hsa-miR-4743-5p, and hsa-miR-4750-3p in T2DM-CAD patients compared with T2DM subjects and controls (all p < 0.001) was further confirmed by RT-qPCR. All validated miRNAs demonstrated good discriminatory values for T2DM-CAD (AUC = 0.833-0.876). The best performance in detecting CAD in T2DM was achieved for a combination of three miRNAs (AUC = 0.959, 100% sensitivity, 86.67% specificity). CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed a unique profile of plasma-derived miRNAs in T2DM patients with CAD. Potential miRNA-regulated pathways were also identified, exploring the underlying pathogenesis of CAD in T2DM. We developed a specific three-miRNA panel of hsa-miR-4505, hsa-miR-4743-5p and hsa-miR-4750-3p, that could serve as a novel non-invasive biomarker for CAD in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Speckle tracking echocardiography is an innovative imaging technique that evaluates myocardial motion, including the function of the left atrium (LA). The assessment of the left atrium's function across its dimensions can have diagnostic and prognostic roles in various cardiovascular conditions. Left atrial strain has been recognized as a valuable predictor of mortality and cardiovascular incidents in the general population across various conditions. For individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), left atrial dysfunction, as gauged by speckle tracking echocardiography, appears particularly prognostic. Parameters such as peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) and left atrial stiffness have been linked with heightened risks of severe cardiovascular events, including atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, or mortality. Consequently, recognizing left atrial dysfunction early is crucial for accurate diagnosis, guiding treatment choices, comprehensive patient management, and prognosis evaluation. Using two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography, results from recent studies report that treatment with empagliflozin significantly enhanced LA function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, improving left atrial strain (LAS) contraction and reservoir values. Furthermore, treatments with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP)-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors were shown to improve LA reservoir strain more effectively than insulin alone, suggesting their potential in reducing cardiovascular complications in T2DM patients. This narrative review further addresses ongoing challenges and potential enhancements needed to boost the clinical value of left atrium strain, emphasizing its significance in managing and improving outcomes for diabetic patients.

Examining the Impact of Ertugliflozin on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review of Clinical Trials. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:929. [PMID: 39065779 PMCID: PMC11279934 DOI: 10.3390/ph17070929] [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: 06/07/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) constitute a significant cause of morbidity and mortality globally, particularly among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Ertugliflozin, a Sodium-Glucose Co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, is hypothesized to confer cardiovascular protection; however, long-term follow-up studies are necessary to support the hypothesis. This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the cardiovascular effects of ertugliflozin in diabetic versus non-diabetic cohorts, focusing on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), hospitalizations for heart failure, and cardiovascular mortality. Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, the review encompassed studies indexed in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science up to March 2024. Eligibility was restricted to studies involving T2DM patients undergoing ertugliflozin treatment with reported outcomes relevant to cardiovascular health. Out of 767 initially identified articles, 6 met the inclusion criteria. Data concerning hazard ratios (HR) and confidence intervals (CI) were extracted to compare the effects of ertugliflozin with those of a placebo or other standard therapies. The collective sample size across these studies was 8246 participants. Ertugliflozin was associated with a significant reduction in hospitalizations for heart failure relative to a placebo (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.54-0.90, p < 0.05). Furthermore, when combined with metformin, ertugliflozin potentially reduced MACEs (HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.79-1.07), although this finding did not reach statistical significance. Importantly, for patients with pre-existing heart failure, ertugliflozin significantly decreased the exacerbations of heart failure (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.33-0.84, p < 0.01). Overall, ertugliflozin markedly reduces hospitalizations due to heart failure in T2DM patients and may improve additional cardiovascular outcomes. These results endorse the integration of ertugliflozin into therapeutic protocols for T2DM patients at elevated cardiovascular risk and substantiate its efficacy among SGLT2 inhibitors. Continued investigations are recommended to delineate its long-term cardiovascular benefits in diverse patient populations, including the potential impact on arrhythmias.

The impact of the vitamin D and resveratrol administration on the stiffness and elasticity of T2DM rat aorta associated with the trace element and mineral levels. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2024; 86:127497.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is directly associated with increased aortic stiffness, reduced aortic elasticity, and aortic dissection, which are independent risk factors for cardiovascular death. Since Vit D and resveratrol have been reported due to their cardioprotective effects, in this study, we aim to evaluate the impact of Vit D and resveratrol treatment alone or in combination on the aortic health associated with trace element and mineral levels in a high-fructose diet/streptozotocin-induced T2DM model. METHODS We investigated biomechanical changes of the aorta samples via a custom-built stretcher, where trace element and mineral levels in aorta samples were determined via inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) following acidic microwave digestion. RESULTS Vitamin D treatment ameliorated the adverse effects of T2DM on aortic stiffness, aortic elasticity, and relaxation modulus in diabetic rats. Trace element and mineral levels correlated with cardiovascular homeostasis, including Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, and Na, have been regulated upon Vit D treatment in diabetic and healthy rats. On the other hand, resveratrol treatment alone or in combination with Vit D did not show any positive effects on biomechanical properties and trace element metabolism of diabetic or healthy rats, according to our data. CONCLUSION Vit D can be used in T2DM patients to protect their cardiovascular health and should be considered a promising targeted therapy approach via nanoparticles to target cardiovascular diseases in the future.

Abstract
As glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is one of the regulators of carbonyl stress, a pathogenic mechanism for diabetic complications like acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the study aimed to investigate the relationship between GAPDH gene polymorphism, GAPDH activity in red blood cell (RBC), methylglyoxal (MG) levels in plasma and ACS risk in South Indians with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study comprised 150 T2DM with ACS as cases and 150 T2DM without ACS as controls. The GAPDH rs1136666, rs1060620 and rs1060619 gene polymorphisms were identified by TaqMan probe assays. The RBC GAPDH activity and plasma MG levels were estimated. Cases had significantly higher plasma MG levels and lower RBC GAPDH activity than controls (P < 0.001). The distribution of rs1060620 or rs1060619 alleles and genotypes significantly differed between groups. The rs1060620 AG (OR 0.55; 95% CI 0.33-0.92; P = 0.022) or rs1060619 CT (OR 0.51; 95% CI 0.31-0.83; P = 0.007) genotype was associated with reduced ACS risk, confirmed in the over-dominant genetic model. Haplotype analyses revealed that the GAT and CGC haplotypes were associated with increased (OR 28.37; 95% CI 3.82-210.49; P = 8.51 × 10-7) and decreased (OR 0.45; 95% CI 0.24-0.86; P = 0.014) ACS risk in T2DM patients, respectively. Lower GAPDH activity was observed in the TT and CT genotypes compared to the CC genotype of rs1060619 (P < 0.001). This work established that the GAPDH rs1060620 or rs1060619 gene polymorphisms are associated with ACS risk in South Indians with T2DM.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation has long been considered the characteristic feature of type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) Immunopathogenesis. Pro-inflammatory cytokines are considered the central drivers of the inflammatory cascade leading to β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance (IR), two major pathologic events contributing to T2DM. Analyzing the cytokine profile of T2DM patients has also introduced interleukin-17 (IL-17) as an upstream regulator of inflammation, regarding its role in inducing the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway. In diabetic tissues, IL-17 induces the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Hence, IL-17 can deteriorate insulin signaling and β-cell function by activating the JNK pathway and inducing infiltration of neutrophils into pancreatic islets, respectively. Additionally, higher levels of IL-17 expression in patients with diabetic complications compared to non-complicated individuals have also proposed a role for IL-17 in T2DM complications. Here, we highlight the role of IL-17 in the Immunopathogenesis of T2DM and corresponding pathways, recent advances in preclinical and clinical studies targeting IL-17 in T2DM, and corresponding challenges and possible solutions.

[PMID: 38943931 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2024.103066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of cardiovascular health levels, as measured by the Life's Essential 8 score, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) has not been fully elucidated. METHODS This cohort study included 15,118 participants with T2D from the UK Biobank who were free of CVD and cancer at baseline. The cardiovascular health of participants was evaluated using the Life's Essential 8 score, categorizing their health levels into low, moderate, and high based on this assessment. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 13.0 years, we observed a total of 4421 cases of CVD, comprising 3467 cases of coronary heart disease (CHD), 811 cases of stroke, 1465 cases of heart failure (HF), and 523 cases of CVD mortality. Compared to participants with low cardiovascular health, those with high cardiovascular health had a 52 %, 50 %, 47 %, 67 %, and 51 % lower risk of CVD, CHD, stroke, HF, and CVD mortality, respectively. Among the components of the Life's Essential 8 score, body mass index showed the highest population attributable risk of 12.1 %. Similar findings were observed in joint analyses of cardiovascular health and diabetes severity status. CONCLUSIONS This study emphasizes the importance of maintaining good cardiovascular health among individuals with T2D to reduce their risk of CVD incidence and mortality.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a prevalent chronic metabolic disorder, is closely linked to persistent low-grade inflammation, significantly contributing to its development and progression. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the inflammatory mechanisms underlying T2DM, focusing on the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in mediating inflammatory responses. We discuss the therapeutic potential of IL-1 inhibitors and colchicine, highlighting their mechanisms in inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome and reducing IL-1β production. Recent studies indicate that these agents could effectively mitigate inflammation, offering promising avenues for the prevention and management of T2DM. By exploring the intricate connections between metabolic disturbances and chronic inflammation, this review underscores the need for novel anti-inflammatory strategies to address T2DM and its complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke stands as a significant macrovascular complication among individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), often resulting in the primary cause of mortality and disability within this patient demographic. Presently, numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the underlying causes of stroke in individuals with T2DM, yet the findings exhibit inconsistencies. OBJECTIVE This paper aims to consolidate and summarize the available evidence concerning the influential factors contributing to stroke among patients diagnosed with T2DM. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search across multiple databases, including Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web Of Science, Embase, China Biology Medicine (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang and Weipu up to August 2023. Google Scholar was also searched to retrieve gray literature. We calculated odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using Stata software. RESULTS Our analysis encompassed 43 observational studies, exploring factors across sociodemographic, biochemical, complications, and hypoglycemic agent categories. The findings identified several risk factors for stroke in patients with T2DM: age, gender, T2DM duration, hypertension, body-mass index (BMI), smoking, Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), albuminuria, Triglycerides (TG), Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), Coronary heart disease (CHD), Atrial fibrillation (AF), diabetic retinopathy (DR), Peripheral vascular disease (PVD), and carotid plaque. Conversely, exercise, High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), metformin (MET), pioglitazone, and metformin combination therapy emerged as protective factors. CONCLUSION This study underscores the multitude of influencing factors contributing to stroke in people with T2DM patients, among which the microvascular complications of T2DM play an most important role. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of screening for microvascular complications in patients with T2DM. However, due to limitations arising from the number of articles reviewed, there remain areas where clarity is lacking. Further research efforts are warranted to expand upon and reinforce our current findings.

Abstract
Currently, an estimated 537 million individuals are affected by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the occurrence of which is invariably associated with complications. Glucose-lowering therapy remains the main treatment for alleviating T2DM. However, conventional antidiabetic agents are fraught with numerous adverse effects, notably elevations in blood pressure and lipid levels. Recently, the use of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) and their constituents has emerged as a preferred management strategy aimed at curtailing the progression of diabetes and its associated complications with fewer adverse effects. Increasing evidence indicates that gut microbiome disturbances are involved in the development of T2DM and its complications. This regulation depends on various metabolites produced by gut microbes and their interactions with host organs. TCMs' interventions have demonstrated the ability to modulate the intestinal bacterial microbiota, thereby restoring host homeostasis and ameliorating metabolic disorders. This review delves into the alterations in the gut microbiota and metabolites in T2DM patients and how TCMs treatment regulates the gut microbiota, facilitating the management of T2DM and its complications. Additionally, we also discuss prospective avenues for research on natural products to advance diabetes therapy.

The antidiabetic drug ipragliflozin induces vasorelaxation of rabbit femoral artery by activating a Kv channel, the SERCA pump, and the PKA signaling pathway. Eur J Pharmacol 2024; 972:176589. [PMID: 38631503 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176589] [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: 02/18/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
We explored the vasorelaxant effects of ipragliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, on rabbit femoral arterial rings. Ipragliflozin relaxed phenylephrine-induced pre-contracted rings in a dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatment with the ATP-sensitive K+ channel inhibitor glibenclamide (10 μM), the inwardly rectifying K+ channel inhibitor Ba2+ (50 μM), or the Ca2+-sensitive K+ channel inhibitor paxilline (10 μM) did not influence the vasorelaxant effect. However, the voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channel inhibitor 4-aminopyridine (3 mM) reduced the vasorelaxant effect. Specifically, the vasorelaxant response to ipragliflozin was significantly attenuated by pretreatment with the Kv7.X channel inhibitors linopirdine (10 μM) and XE991 (10 μM), the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pump inhibitors thapsigargin (1 μM) and cyclopiazonic acid (10 μM), and the cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA)-associated signaling pathway inhibitors SQ22536 (50 μM) and KT5720 (1 μM). Neither the cGMP/protein kinase G (PKG)-associated signaling pathway nor the endothelium was involved in ipragliflozin-induced vasorelaxation. We conclude that ipragliflozin induced vasorelaxation of rabbit femoral arteries by activating Kv channels (principally the Kv7.X channel), the SERCA pump, and the cAMP/PKA-associated signaling pathway independent of other K+ (ATP-sensitive K+, inwardly rectifying K+, and Ca2+-sensitive K+) channels, cGMP/PKG-associated signaling, and the endothelium.

Abstract
Currently, there is no known cure for diabetes. Different pharmaceutical therapies have been approved for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), some are in clinical trials and they have been classified according to their route or mechanism of action. Insulin types, sulfonylureas, biguanides, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, meglitinides, sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors, and incretin-dependent therapies (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists: GLP-1R, and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors: DPP-4). Although some of the currently available drugs are effective in the management of T2DM, the side effects resulting from prolonged use of these drugs remain a serious challenge. GLP-1R agonists are currently the preferred medications to include when oral metformin alone is insufficient to manage T2DM. Medicinal plants now play prominent roles in the management of various diseases globally because they are readily available and affordable as well as having limited and transient side effects. Recently, studies have reported the ability of phytochemicals to activate glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), acting as an agonist just like the GLP-1R agonist with beneficial effects in the management of T2DM. Consequently, we propose that careful exploration of phytochemicals for the development of novel therapeutic candidates as GLP-1R agonists will be a welcome breakthrough in the management of T2DM and the co-morbidities associated with T2DM.

Abstract
Introduction People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are highly susceptible to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies have suggested that the application of vitamin D may offer potential benefits in improving lipid profiles, but these effects remain controversial. Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis focused on the effects of vitamin D supplementation on serum lipid profiles in people with T2D. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of vitamin D supplementation on lipid profiles and published before September 19th, 2023, were identified in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. This review protocol was registered in the PROSPERO (CRD42023461136). The random-effects model was employed to estimate unstandardized mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The quality of studies was assessed by the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool 2. Results Overall, 20 RCTs involving 1711 participants were included. Results indicated that vitamin D supplementation significantly improves serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (MD: 1.63 mg/dL, 95% CI: 0.19 to 3.08, P = 0.03), and triglyceride (TG) levels (MD: -8.56 mg/dL, 95% CI: -15.23 to -1.89, P = 0.01). However, vitamin D supplementation failed to improve low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels and total cholesterol (TC) levels. Subgroup analyses and meta-regressions suggested that higher doses of vitamin D supplementation and shorter duration of intervention were more likely to have favorable effects on lipid profiles. Moreover, participants with lower baseline BMI and higher serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels exhibited greater improvements in lipid profiles following vitamin D supplementation. Conclusions This meta-analysis highlighted the effects of vitamin D supplementation on improving serum HDL and TG levels while not exhibiting significant improvements in LDL and TC levels. Further long-term and high-quality studies are still needed to draw more precise conclusions. Systematic review registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=461136.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence and patterns of comorbidity in community-dwelling older people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) attending general practice settings in Australia. METHODS This study involved a cross-sectional analysis using the Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health (BEACH) sub-study data. In a series of sub-studies, a representative sample of general practitioners was asked to record all diagnosed chronic conditions for patients at 40 consecutive encounters using structured paper-based recording forms. The dataset was analysed with descriptive analyses, and exploratory factor analyses were applied to examine comorbidity patterns. RESULTS Of the 14,042 patients aged 65 years or older, 2688 had a diagnosis of T2DM (19%). Of the 2688 patients with T2DM, hypertension was present in 67% (95% CI: 64.6-70.0), followed by arthritis 52% (95% CI: 48.8-54.8), hyperlipidaemia 45% (95% CI: 41.8-47.9), ischemic heart disease, 23% (95% CI: 20.7-24.9), depression 16% (95% CI: 48.8-54.8), atrial fibrillation 10% (95% CI: 8.9-11.6), congestive heart failure 7% (95% CI: 6.0-8.1), stroke/cerebrovascular accident 7% (95% CI: 5.4-8.2) and peripheral vascular disease 5% (95% CI: 4.4-6.2). We identified two comorbidity patterns among older people with T2DM. The first were psychological and musculoskeletal conditions and the second were cardiovascular conditions and chronic renal failure. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular comorbidities in community-dwelling older people with T2DM was high. Adequate primary care strategies should be in place to support the long-term care for this population.

Abnormal blood pressure dipping pattern: frequency, determinants, and correlates in Diabetes Mellitus patients in the Cardiovascular Health Risk Assessment in Diabetes Mellitus (CHiD) study. J Diabetes Metab Disord 2024; 23:689-697. [PMID: 38932843 PMCID: PMC11196480 DOI: 10.1007/s40200-023-01337-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Purpose Non-dipping status is associated with increased total and cardiovascular mortality in many disease conditions including diabetes mellitus. The pattern and its implications are not well described among Africans. This study was done to describe the frequency of abnormal blood pressure (BP) dipping among T2DM subjects, its determinants and correlates in Ogbomoso, Nigeria. Methods This was a cross-sectional study done at the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso. One hundred individuals diagnosed with T2DM were recruited and they had 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring, echocardiography, ECG, and carotid Doppler among other evaluations. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 27.0 (Chicago Ill, USA). Results The mean age of the participants was 59.3 ± 10.8 years, mean body mass index 27.7 ± 5.9 kg/m2 with a mean duration of diabetes of 7.52 ± 5.54 years. Abnormal BP dipping was present in 89% (consisting of 41% or reverse dippers and 48% non-dippers). T2DM subjects with abnormal dipping pattern were more likely to be females, had higher glycated haemoglobin, lower fractional shortening, higher left atrial volume and left ventricular mass index, and a higher DM duration than those with normal BP dipping status. The major determinants of abnormal dipping pattern were the duration of diabetes and low HDL-C concentration. Conclusion Abnormal BP dipping pattern is highly prevalent in T2DM subjects, especially among females. Abnormal BP dipping was also associated with markers of increased cardiovascular risk such as impaired kidney function, left ventricular hypertrophy, postural hypotension, history of intermittent claudication, and presence of plaques on carotid Doppler studies.

Abstract
The genetic alteration in the antioxidant gene Glutathione-S-Transferases Pi 1 (GSTP1) namely GSTP1*IIe105Val (rs1695) and GSTP1*Ala114Val (rs1138272) changes the individual susceptibility to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by altering the substrate binding and catalytic activity. This study aims to investigate the association of GSTP1 rs1695 and rs1138272 polymorphism with CVD development in T2DM patients. Genotyping was performed with 400 study participants-group I: control; group II: T2DM; group III: CVD; and group IV: T2DM/CVD [n = 100 each] by PCR-RFLP. The rs1695 and rs1138272 polymorphism were docked against NPACT and NUBBE database and virtually screened using glide. The study reported that rs1695 polymorphism was associated with T2DM risk under dominant and allelic genetic models [OR = 1.97(1.08-3.59) p = 0.02 and OR = 1.79(1.20-2.66) p = 0.003, respectively]. The val/val genotype, dominant, recessive model, and T allelic genetic model were associated with increased CVD risk [OR = 4.15(1.97-8.73) p = < 0.01; OR = 3.16(1.65-6.04) p = < 0.01; OR = 3.47(1.91-6.31) p = < 0.01; and OR = 2.94(1.95-4.43) p = < 0.01, respectively]. In contrast, rs1695 polymorphism was not associated with CVD development among patients with T2DM. In rs1138272, the wild genotype was only detected and neither heterozygous nor val/val genotype was observed. The docking analysis revealed that the Ile105Val mutation plays a significant role in altering the GSTP1 capacity compared to the Ala115Val mutation. This suggests that the Ile105Val mutation has a greater impact on the protein's structure, function, or susceptibility to diseases compared to the Ala115Val mutation. In summary, genetic alteration in GSTP1 rs1695 potentially contributes to an increased risk of T2DM and CVD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health concern linked to various complications, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, long-term follow-up studies on the risk of DM and CVD using different blood glucose assessment methods in the general Korean population are lacking. This study aimed to assess the predictive abilities of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for new-onset DM and high CVD risk in a middle-aged and older Korean population. METHODS This study used data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, a population-based prospective cohort. Blood sugar measures (FPG, OGTT, and HbA1c) were examined. The primary endpoint was the development of new-onset DM, and CVD risk was evaluated using the Framingham risk score. The predictive abilities for new-onset DM based on glycemic values were evaluated using Harrell's Concordance index and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Among the 10,030 participants, data of 6813 participants without DM at baseline were analyzed. The study revealed that OGTT outperformed FPG and HbA1c in predicting new-onset DM. The combination of FPG and HbA1c did not significantly enhance predictions for DM compared with OGTT alone. OGTT also outperformed FPG and HbA1c in predicting high CVD risk, and this difference remained significant even after adjusting for additional confounders. CONCLUSION OGTT has superior predictive capabilities in identifying new-onset DM and high CVD risk in the Korean population. This suggests that relying solely on individual blood sugar measures may be insufficient for assessing DM and CVD risks.

Abstract
Introduction: Hypoglycemia has been associated with cardiovascular events, and glucose variability has been suggested to be associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Therefore, in this study, we examined the effect on proteomic cardiovascular risk protein markers of (i) mild iatrogenic hypoglycemia and (ii) severe iatrogenic hypoglycemia followed by rebound hyperglycemia. Methods: Two iatrogenic hypoglycemia studies were compared; firstly, mild hypoglycemia in 18 subjects (10 type 2 diabetes (T2D), 8 controls; blood glucose to 2.8 mmoL/L (50 mg/dL) for 1 h), and secondly, severe hypoglycemia in 46 subjects (23 T2D, 23 controls; blood glucose to <2.2 mmoL/L (<40 mg/dL) transiently followed by intravenous glucose reversal giving rebound hyperglycemia). A SOMAscan assay was used to measure 54 of the 92 cardiovascular protein biomarkers that reflect biomarkers involved in inflammation, cellular metabolic processes, cell adhesion, and immune response and complement activation. Results: Baseline to euglycemia showed no change in any of the proteins measured in the T2D cohort. With severe hypoglycemia, the study controls showed an increase in Angiopoietin 1 (ANGPT1) (p < 0.01) and Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) (p < 0.01), but no changes were seen with mild hypoglycemia. In both the mild and severe hypoglycemia studies, at the point of hypoglycemia, T2D subjects showed suppression of Brother of CDO (BOC) (p < 0.01). At 1 h post-hypoglycemia, the changes in ANGPT1, DKK1, and BOC had resolved, with no additional protein biomarker changes despite rebound hyperglycemia from 1.8 ± 0.1 to 12.2 ± 2.0 mmol/L. Conclusions: Proteomic biomarkers of cardiovascular disease showed changes at hypoglycemia that resolved within 1 h following the hypoglycemic event and with no changes following hyperglycemia rebound, suggesting that any cardiovascular risk increase is due to the hypoglycemia and not due to glucose fluctuation per se.

Abstract
Background The effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on coronary atherosclerosis detected on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in hypertensive patients has attracted increasing attention. This study investigated the relationships of T2DM with coronary artery plaque characteristics and semiquantitative CCTA scores in hypertensive patients. Materials and methods In this single-center study, 1,700 hypertensive patients, including 850 T2DM [HT(T2DM+)] and 850 non-T2DM [HT(T2DM-)] individuals, were retrospectively analyzed after propensity matching. Plaque type, extent, coronary stenosis, segment involvement score (SIS), segment stenosis score (SSS), and CT-based Leaman score (CT-LeSc) based on CCTA were assessed and compared between the two groups. Results HT(T2DM+) patients had more coronary segments with calcified plaque (2.08 ± 2.20 vs. 1.40 ± 1.91), mixed plaque (2.90 ± 2.87 vs. 2.50 ± 2.66), nonobstructive stenosis (4.23 ± 2.44 vs. 3.62 ± 2.42), and obstructive stenosis (1.22 ± 2.18 vs. 0.78 ± 1.51), a lower proportion of 1-vessel disease (15.3% vs. 25.5%), a higher proportion of 3-vessel disease (59.6% vs. 46.7%), and higher SIS (5.5 ± 3.1 vs. 4.4 ± 3.0), SSS (10.3 ± 8.5 vs. 7.7 ± 7.1), and CT-LeSc (9.4 ± 5.6 vs. 7.9 ± 5.2) than HT(T2DM-) patients (all P-values <0.05). Multivariable analysis revealed that T2DM was an independent risk factor for calcified plaque [odds ratio (OR) = 2.213], obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) (OR = 1.271), multivessel disease (OR = 1.838), SIS > 4 (OR = 1.910), SSS > 6 (OR = 1.718), and CT-LeSc > 5 (OR = 1.584) in hypertension population (all P-values <0.05). Conclusion T2DM was independently associated with the presence of calcified coronary artery plaque and increased the risk of obstructive CAD, multivessel disease, and CT-LeSc > 5 in hypertensive patients. More attention should be given to the assessment and management for coronary atherosclerosis in hypertensive patients with T2DM, as this population may have a higher risk of cardiovascular events.

Abstract
Background Heart failure (HF) is a common final pathway of various insults to the heart, primarily from risk factors including diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2. This study analyzed the clinical characteristics of HF in a Jordanian population with a particular emphasis on the relationship between DM and HF. Methods This prospective study used the Jordanian Heart Failure Registry (JoHFR) data. Patients with HF were characterized by DM status and HF type: HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Demographics, clinical presentations, and treatment outcomes were collected. Statistical analyses and machine learning techniques were carried out for the prediction of mortality among HF patients: Recursive Feature Elimination with Cross-Validation (RFECV) and Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique with Edited Nearest Neighbors (SMOTEENN) were employed. Results A total of 2007 patients with HF were included. Notable differences between diabetic and non-diabetic patients are apparent. Diabetic patients were predominantly male, older, and obese (p < 0.001 for all). A higher incidence of HFpEF was observed in the diabetes cohort (p = 0.006). Also, diabetic patients had significantly higher levels of cholesterol (p = 0.008) and LDL (p = 0.003), reduced hemoglobin levels (p < 0.001), and more severe renal impairment (eGFR; p = 0.006). Machine learning models, particularly the Random Forest Classifier, highlighted its superiority in mortality prediction, with an accuracy of 90.02% and AUC of 80.51%. Predictors of mortality included creatinine levels >115 µmol/L, length of hospital stay, and need for mechanical ventilation. Conclusion This study underscores notable differences in clinical characteristics and outcomes between diabetic and non-diabetic heart failure patients in Jordan. Diabetic patients had higher prevalence of HFpEF and poorer health indicators such as elevated cholesterol, LDL, and impaired kidney function. High creatinine levels, longer hospital stays, and the need for mechanical ventilation were key predictors of mortality.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are 90% of diabetes cases, and its prevalence and incidence, including comorbidities, are rising worldwide. Clinically, diabetes and associated comorbidities are identified by biochemical and physical characteristics including glycemia, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and tests for cardiovascular, eye and kidney disease. Objectives Diabetes may have a common etiology based on inflammation and oxidative stress that may provide additional information about disease progression and treatment options. Thus, identifying high-risk individuals can delay or prevent diabetes and its complications. Design In patients with or without hypertension and cardiovascular disease, as part of progression from no diabetes to T2DM, this research studied the changes in biomarkers between control and prediabetes, prediabetes to T2DM, and control to T2DM, and classified patients based on first-attendance data. Control patients and patients with hypertension, cardiovascular, and with both hypertension and cardiovascular diseases are 156, 148, 61, and 216, respectively. Methods Linear discriminant analysis is used for classification method and feature importance, This study examined the relationship between Humanin and mitochondrial protein (MOTSc), mitochondrial peptides associated with oxidative stress, diabetes progression, and associated complications. Results MOTSc, reduced glutathione and glutathione disulfide ratio (GSH/GSSG), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and 8-isoprostane were significant (P < .05) for the transition from prediabetes to t2dm, highlighting importance of mitochondrial involvement. complement component 5a (c5a) is a biomarker associated with disease progression and comorbidities, gsh gssg, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (mcp-1), 8-isoprostane being most important biomarkers. Conclusions Comorbidities affect the hypothesized biomarkers as diabetes progresses. Mitochondrial oxidative stress indicators, coagulation, and inflammatory markers help assess diabetes disease development and provide appropriate medications. Future studies will examine longitudinal biomarker evolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a spectrum of metabolic dysfunctions that significantly elevate the risk of cardiovascular disorders. Understanding the intricate relationship between metabolic control and cardiovascular autonomic function in individuals with T2DM is crucial for effective management and the prevention of associated complications. This insight is foundational in developing targeted strategies that can mitigate the heightened cardiovascular risks inherent to this condition, thereby enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life. AIM The primary aim of the study was to explore the interconnections between various aspects of metabolic control in individuals with T2DM. This includes examining how glycemic variability, lipid profiles, body mass index (BMI), duration of diabetes, inflammatory markers, and cardiovascular autonomic function are interrelated. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 100 individuals with T2DM and 100 control participants. HbA1C levels, glycemic variability, lipid profile, BMI, duration of diabetes, and inflammatory markers were assessed. Cardiovascular autonomic function parameters, including resting heart rate and blood pressure responses, were evaluated using standardized tests. RESULTS People with T2DM had significantly higher levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) compared to controls (mean difference = 2.95%, p < 0.001). Elevated HbA1C levels were correlated with increased resting heart rate (mean difference = 10 bpm, p < 0.001) and aberrant blood pressure responses during autonomic function assessments (p < 0.01 for systolic blood pressure; p < 0.05 for diastolic blood pressure). Glycemic variability (correlation coefficient (𝑟) = 0.75, p < 0.001) and dyslipidemia (elevated triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, reduced HDL cholesterol) were associated with cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction. Higher BMI values in T2DM individuals were independently correlated with alterations in autonomic function (𝑟 = 0.60, p < 0.001). The prolonged duration of diabetes was linked to greater impairment in autonomic function (mean decrease = 0.5 points per year, p < 0.01). In the T2DM group, higher levels of inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and interleukin-6) were seen, which may have led to problems with the autonomic nervous system. CONCLUSION Metabolic dysregulation, such as high HbA1C levels, glycemic variability, dyslipidemia, obesity, having diabetes for a long time, and inflammation, is linked to cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in T2DM. Early intervention targeting these metabolic abnormalities may mitigate the risk of cardiovascular complications in individuals with T2DM.

Abstract
Background The present meta-analysis aimed to examine the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on the prognosis of diabetes patients who experienced acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This investigation encompassed an array of clinical endpoints, comprising cardiovascular death, myocardial reinfarction, all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and rehospitalization. Methods The study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched up to October 2023. Studies reporting clinical outcomes in diabetic patients who experienced AMI and were treated with SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2-I) were included. Two researchers independently selected the studies and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies using the Cochrane risk of bias tool for Risk for Bias In Non-randomized Studies-of Interventions (ROBINS-I). Results A total of 2450 publications were initially retrieved; ultimately, five studies involving 5398 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The analysis revealed that SGLT2-I were associated with significantly lower risks of cardiovascular death (odds ratio (OR), 0.34; 95% CI, 0.14-0.82) and all-cause mortality (OR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.38-0.76). However, SGLT2-I did not lead to a significant decrease in the rate of myocardial reinfarction (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.65-1.29). SGLT2-I did lead to a significant reduction in MACEs (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.35-1.0), but there was significant heterogeneity among the included studies. SGLT2-I also led to a significant reduction in rehospitalizations (OR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.26-0.76). There was significant heterogeneity in the analysis of rehospitalization, but the effect remained significant when we excluded the main sources of heterogeneity (OR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.24-0.52). Conclusions The pooled analyses revealed that SGLT2-I were associated with reductions in all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, and rehospitalization. In the future, prospective studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm and refine these findings.

Nutr Res 2024; 125:101-112. [PMID: 38593657 DOI: 10.1016/j.nutres.2024.03.002] [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: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
The bioactive compounds in cardamom have been found to enhance cardiovascular health by improving blood lipids and inflammation. We hypothesized that cardamom consumption might ameliorate cardiovascular metabolic biomarkers in adults; however, there is still debate regarding its impact on cardiac metabolism. This research was therefore designed to determine if cardamom consumption had a favorable impact on lipid profiles, inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress indices as they related to cardiovascular diseases. A comprehensive search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library on July 4, 2023. Using a random-effects model pooled the weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI). The final 12 trials containing 989 participants were included. The results illustrated that cardamom consumption could improve total cholesterol (WMD = -8.56 mg/dL; 95% CI, -14.90 to -2.22), triglycerides (WMD = -14.09 mg/dL; 95% CI, -24.01 to -4.17), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (WMD = -1.01 ng/mL; 95% CI, -1.81 to -0.22), and interleukin-6 (WMD = -1.81 pg/mL; 95% CI, -3.06 to -0.56). However, it did not have significant influences on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and some indicators of oxidative stress. In conclusion, cardamom consumption can improve specific cardiovascular metabolic biomarkers and potentially confer protective effects on cardiovascular health. However, more large-scale clinical research with better designs would further validate the findings, which will offer substantial evidence of cardamom as nutritional and functional products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The genetic basis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is under-investigated in the Middle East, despite the rapidly growing disease prevalence. We aimed to define the genetic determinants of T2D in Qatar. METHODS Using whole genome sequencing of 11,436 participants (2765 T2D cases and 8671 controls) from the population-based Qatar Biobank (QBB), we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of T2D with and without body mass index (BMI) adjustment. RESULTS We replicated 93 known T2D-associated loci in a BMI-unadjusted model, while 96 known loci were replicated in a BMI-adjusted model. The effect sizes and allele frequencies of replicated SNPs in the Qatari population generally concurred with those from European populations. We identified a locus specific to our cohort located between the APOBEC3H and CBX7 genes in the BMI-unadjusted model. Also, we performed a transethnic meta-analysis of our cohort with a previous GWAS on T2D in multi-ancestry individuals (180,834 T2D cases and 1,159,055 controls). One locus in DYNC2H1 gene reached genome-wide significance in the meta-analysis. Assessing polygenic risk scores derived from European- and multi-ancestries in the Qatari population showed higher predictive performance of the multi-ancestry panel compared to the European panel. CONCLUSION Our study provides new insights into the genetic architecture of T2D in a Middle Eastern population and identifies genes that may be explored further for their involvement in T2D pathogenesis.

Abstract
Background The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) and its significant role in increasing Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) risk highlights the urgent need for effective CHD screening within this population. Despite current advancements in T2D management, the complexity of cardiovascular complications persists. Our study aims to develop a comprehensive CHD screening model for T2D patients, employing multimodal data to improve early detection and management, addressing a critical gap in clinical practice. Methods We analyzed data from 699 patients, including 471 with CHD (221 of these also had T2D) and a control group of 228 without CHD. Employing strict diagnostic criteria, we conducted significance testing and multivariate analysis to identify key indicators for T2D-CHD diagnosis. This led to the creation of a neural network model using 21 indicators and a logistic regression model based on an 8-indicator subset. External validation was performed with an independent dataset from an additional 212 patients to confirm the models' generalizability. Results The neural network model achieved an accuracy of 90.7%, recall of 90.78%, precision of 90.83%, and an F-1 score of 0.908. The logistic regression model demonstrated an accuracy of 90.13%, recall of 90.1%, precision of 90.22%, and an F-1 score of 0.9016. External validation reinforced the models' reliability and effectiveness in broader clinical settings. Conclusion Our AI-driven diagnostic models significantly enhance early CHD detection and management in T2D patients, offering a novel, efficient approach to addressing the complex interplay between these conditions. By leveraging advanced analytics and comprehensive patient data, we present a scalable solution for improving clinical outcomes in this high-risk population, potentially setting a new standard in personalized care and preventative medicine.

Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk Categories and Achievement of Therapeutic Targets in European Patients with Type 2 Diabetes. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2196. [PMID: 38673469 PMCID: PMC11051102 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13082196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are more prone to experiencing severe cardiovascular (CV) events, often occurring at a younger age, due to a complex interplay of risk factors. T2DM diagnosis inherently classifies patients as belonging to a higher CV risk group. In light of the increased susceptibility to severe CV outcomes, our study aims to assess the distribution of CV risk categories and the attainment of therapeutic targets among Romanian patients diagnosed with T2DM. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was performed, including 885 patients diagnosed with T2DM who were consecutively admitted to a secondary care hospital unit between January and July 2019. Data collection included demographics, lipid profile, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), blood pressure (BP), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and medication specifics for T2DM and associated conditions. Patients were stratified into CV risk categories based on the ESC/EAS guidelines, encompassing moderate, high, and very high risk categories. The rationale for selecting these guidelines for CV risk categories was that they were current and provided best practice recommendations for T2DM patients during the cross-sectional evaluation. We assessed therapeutic target achievement rates for LDL-C, HbA1C, and BP for each CV risk category. Additionally, we examined utilization rates of statins and novel cardio- and reno-protective, non-insulin antidiabetic medications. Results: The group's average age was 62.9 ± 7.7 years and comprised 53.7% females. An average HbA1c level of 7.1 ± 1.3% was observed in the group. Within the cohort, 83% had hypertension, with a mean systolic BP of 132 ± 16.2 mm Hg and mean diastolic BP of 80 ± 9.6 mm Hg. Additionally, 64.6% of patients were obese, with a mean body mass index of 32.3 ± 5.3 kg/m2. Mean LDL-C levels varied across the different CV risk categories: 106.6 ± 35.6 mg/dL in the very high risk category, 113 ± 39.3 mg/dL in the high risk category, and 124.3 ± 38.3 mg/dL in the moderate risk category. Most treatment schemes included metformin (87.0%) and statins (67.0%), with variable use rates for other glucose-lowering and CV risk-modifying therapies. The percentage of patients using GLP-1 RAs was 8.1%, while 3.9% used SGLT2 inhibitors. Conclusions: Most Romanian patients with T2DM are at very high or high CV risk. Despite reaching glycemic control targets, most patients are not achieving the composite target, which includes, besides glycemic control, BP values and lipid profile. Many patients with T2DM are not benefiting from DM therapies with additional cardiorenal benefits or statins.

Abstract
Diabetes is a common chronic metabolic disease with complex causes and pathogenesis. As an immunomodulator, vitamin D has recently become a research hotspot in the occurrence and development of diabetes and its complications. Many studies have shown that vitamin D can reduce the occurrence of diabetes and delay the progression of diabetes complications, and vitamin D can reduce oxidative stress, inhibit iron apoptosis, promote Ca2+ influx, promote insulin secretion, and reduce insulin resistance. Therefore, the prevention and correction of vitamin D deficiency is very necessary for diabetic patients, but further research is needed to confirm what serum levels of vitamin D3 are maintained in the body. This article provides a brief review of the relationship between vitamin D and diabetes, including its acute and chronic complications.

A Clinical-Pharmacological Review of Dorzagliatin and Lessons Learned So Far. Clin Drug Investig 2024; 44:223-250.

Abstract
Despite advances in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), one-third of patients with diabetes do not achieve the desired glycemic goal. Considering this inadequacy, many agents that activate glucokinase have been investigated over the last two decades but were withdrawn before submission for marketing permission. Dorzagliatin is the first glucokinase activator that has been granted approval for T2DM, only in China. As overstimulation of glucokinase is linked with pathophysiological disturbances such as fatty liver and cardiovascular issues and a loss of therapeutic efficacy with time. This review aims to highlight the benefits of glucokinase activators vis-à-vis the risks associated with chronic enzymatic activation. We discuss the multisystem disturbances expected with chronic activation of the enzyme, the lessons learned with glucokinase activators of the past, the major efficacy and safety findings with dorzagliatin and its pharmacological properties, and the status of other glucokinase activators in the pipeline. The approval of dorzagliatin in China was based on the SEED and the DAWN trials, the major pivotal phase III trials that enrolled patients with T2DM with a mean glycosylated hemoglobin of 8.3-8.4%, and a mean age of 53-54.5 years from multiple sites in China. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes, cardiac diseases, organ dysfunction, and a history of severe hypoglycemia were excluded. Both trials had a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled phase of 24 weeks followed by an open-label phase of 28 weeks with dorzagliatin. Drug-naïve patients with T2DM with a disease duration of 11.7 months were enrolled in the SEED trial while the DAWN trial involved patients with T2DM with a mean duration of 71.5 months and receiving background metformin therapy. Compared with placebo, the decline in glycosylated hemoglobin at 24 weeks was more with dorzagliatin with an estimated treatment difference of - 0.57% in the SEED trial and - 0.66% in the DAWN trial. The desired glycosylated hemoglobin (< 7%) was also attained at more than two times higher rates with dorzagliatin. The glycemic improvement was sustained in the SEED trial but decreased over 52 weeks in the DAWN trial. Hyperlipidemia was observed in 12-14% of patients taking dorzagliatin versus 9-11% of patients receiving a placebo. Additional adverse effects noticed over 52 weeks with dorzagliatin included an elevation in liver enzymes, hyperuricemia, hyperlacticacidemia, renal dysfunction, and cardiovascular disturbances. Considering the statistically significant improvement in glycosylated hemoglobin with dorzagliatin in patients with T2DM, the drug may be given a chance in treatment-naïve patients with a shorter disease history. However, with the waning therapeutic efficacy witnessed in patients with long-standing diabetes, which was also one of the potential concerns with previously tested molecules, extended studies involving patients with chronic and uncontrolled diabetes are needed to comment upon the long-term therapeutic performance of dorzagliatin. Likewise, evidence needs to be generated from other countries, patients with organ dysfunction, a history of severe hypoglycemia, cardiac diseases, and elderly patients before extending the use of dorzagliatin. Apart from monitoring lipid profiles, long-term safety studies of dorzagliatin should involve the assessment of serum uric acid, lactate, renal function, liver function, and cardiovascular parameters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical exercise helps to mitigate cardiovascular risks in people with diabetes mellitus (DM), but there are limited data in Nigeria. This study aimed to assess cardiovascular risk awareness, exercise practices and metabolic outcomes among Nigerians with diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study at five tertiary hospitals using questionnaire interviews and clinical assessments. Participants' knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors and knowledge of exercise were assessed on 12- and 5-item scores, while exercise practices were classed as adequate if performed regularly on 3 or more days weekly for a total of 150 min or more based on the American Diabetes Association recommendations. Mean body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), fasting blood glucose, serum haemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), lipid profile, urea, creatinine and uric acid were then compared among participant groups. RESULTS We studied 426 participants with DM, 58.7% females. The mean age was 52.9 ± 13.1 years, with males significantly older than females (54.6 ± 12.2 vs. 51.8 ± 13.5 years; 95% confidence interval: 0.27-5.28, P = 0.03). The mean age at diabetes diagnosis was 44.8 ± 11.7 years, and the median duration of diabetes was 84 months. There was low knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors and low knowledge of exercise (mean scores of 2.94 and 2.31, respectively). Forty-three per cent of participants reported adequate exercise, which was significantly associated with younger age (P = 0.007), male gender (P = 0.001) and formal education (P = 0.021). Participants with adequate exercise had lower systolic BP and serum urea compared to those with inadequate exercise, but there were no significant differences in BMI, fasting glucose, HbA1c, serum lipids, creatinine or uric acid. CONCLUSION Participants had low knowledge of cardiovascular risks and the appropriate exercise practices for diabetes patients. There is a need for better patient education on diabetes self-care and exercise at clinic visits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the association of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) use with cardiovascular (CV) clinical outcomes in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS Data of T2D patients hospitalized for ACS at Civil Aviation General Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected. Based on SGLT2i use or not, patients were stratified as SGLT2i group and SGLT2i-free group. A 1:1 nearest-neighbor propensity score-matched (PSM) was performed to adjust for the confounding factors and facilitate the robust comparisons between groups. The first occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) with 1 year follow-up, which consisted of CV death, all cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke, coronary revascularization or heart failure readmission, was assessed. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regressions were conducted to evaluate the prognostic significance of SGLT2i use. Subgroup analyses were performed to assess the interaction between subgroups and SGLT2i use. RESULTS A total of 925 patients were included, and the SGLT2i use increased from 9.9% in 2019 to 43.8% in 2022. 226 pairs were finally matched using the PSM model. During 1 year follow-up period, a total of 110 patients experienced MACE in the matched cohort, with a rate of 24.3%. Survival analyses showed cumulative incidence of MACE, CV death, and heart failure readmission in the SGLT2i group were significantly lower than the SGLT2i-free group. Additionally, the adjusted Cox analyses demonstrated that SGLT2i was associated with a 34.1% lower risk of MACE (HR 0.659, 95% CI 0.487-0.892, P = 0.007), which was primarily driven by a decrease in the risk of CV death by 12.0% (HR 0.880, 95% CI 0.7830.990, P = 0.033), and heart failure readmission by 45.5% (HR 0.545, 95% CI 0.332-0.893, P = 0.016). This MACE preventive benefit was consistent across different subgroups (P interaction > 0.05 for all comparisons). CONCLUSIONS In T2D patients with ACS, there was a clear increasing trend in SGLT2i use. SGLT2i was associated with a significantly lower risk of MACE, driven by the decrease in the risk of CV death, and heart failure readmission. Our study confirmed real-world use and efficacy of SGLT2i in a general T2D population with ACS.

Effectiveness and safety of the combination of sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:99. [PMID: 38500154 PMCID: PMC10949729 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02192-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomized controlled trials and real-world studies suggest that combination therapy with sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) is associated with improvement in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), body mass index (BMI), and total cholesterol levels. However, a systematic review of available real-world evidence may facilitate clinical decision-making in the real-world scenario. This meta-analysis assessed the safety and effectiveness of combinations of SGLT2is + GLP-1RAs with a focus on their cardioprotective effects along with glucose-lowering ability in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a real-world setting. METHODS Electronic searches were performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, PROQuest, Scopus, CINAHL, and Google Scholar databases. Qualitative analyses and meta-analyses were performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute SUMARI software package and Review Manager v5.4, respectively. RESULTS The initial database search yielded 1445 articles; of these, 13 were included in this study. The analyses indicated that SGLT2is + GLP-1RAs combinations were associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality when compared with individual therapies (odds ratio [95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49 [0.41, 0.60]; p < 0.00001). Significant reductions in BMI (- 1.71 [- 2.74, - 0.67]; p = 0.001), SBP (- 6.35 [- 10.17, - 2.53]; p = 0.001), HbA1c levels (- 1.48 [- 1.75, - 1.21]; p < 0.00001), and FPG (- 2.27 [- 2.78, - 1.76]; p < 0.00001) were associated with the simultaneous administration of the combination. Changes in total cholesterol levels and differences between simultaneous and sequential combination therapies for this outcome were not significant. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis based on real-world data suggests that the combination of SGLT2is + GLP-1RAs is associated with lower all-cause mortality and favorable improvements in cardiovascular, renal, and glycemic measurements. The findings drive a call-to-action to incorporate this combination early and simultaneously in managing T2DM patients and achieve potential cardiovascular benefits and renal protection.

Abstract
Objective To develop and validate an artificial intelligence diagnostic model based on fundus images for predicting Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Methods In total, 1236 patients with T2DM who had both retinal fundus images and CIMT ultrasound records within a single hospital stay were enrolled. Data were divided into normal and thickened groups and sent to eight deep learning models: convolutional neural networks of the eight models were all based on ResNet or ResNeXt. Their encoder and decoder modes are different, including the standard mode, the Parallel learning mode, and the Siamese mode. Except for the six unimodal networks, two multimodal networks based on ResNeXt under the Parallel learning mode or the Siamese mode were embedded with ages. Performance of eight models were compared via the confusion matrix, precision, recall, specificity, F1 value, and ROC curve, and recall was regarded as the main indicator. Besides, Grad-CAM was used to visualize the decisions made by Siamese ResNeXt network, which is the best performance. Results Performance of various models demonstrated the following points: 1) the RexNeXt showed a notable improvement over the ResNet; 2) the structural Siamese networks, which extracted features parallelly and independently, exhibited slight performance enhancements compared to the traditional networks. Notably, the Siamese networks resulted in significant improvements; 3) the performance of classification declined if the age factor was embedded in the network. Taken together, the Siamese ResNeXt unimodal model performed best for its superior efficacy and robustness. This model achieved a recall rate of 88.0% and an AUC value of 90.88% in the validation subset. Additionally, heatmaps calculated by the Grad-CAM algorithm presented concentrated and orderly mappings around the optic disc vascular area in normal CIMT groups and dispersed, irregular patterns in thickened CIMT groups. Conclusion We provided a Siamese ResNeXt neural network for predicting the carotid intimal thickness of patients with T2DM from fundus images and confirmed the correlation between fundus microvascular lesions and CIMT.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is caused by an interplay of various factors where chronic hyperglycemia and inflammation have central role in its onset and progression. Identifying patient groups with increased inflammation in order to provide more personalized approach has become crucial. We hypothesized that grouping patients into clusters according to their clinical characteristics could identify distinct unique profiles that were previously invisible to the clinical eye. A cross-sectional record-based study was performed at the Primary Health Care Center Podgorica, Montenegro, on 424 T2DM patients aged between 30 and 85. Using hierarchical clustering patients were grouped into four distinct clusters based on 12 clinical variables, including glycemic and other relevant metabolic indicators. Inflammation was assessed through neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR). Cluster 3 which featured the oldest patients with the longest T2DM duration, highest hypertension rate, poor glycemic control and significant GFR impairment had the highest levels of inflammatory markers. Cluster 4 which featured the youngest patients, with the best glycemic control, the highest GFR had the lowest prevalence of coronary disease, but not the lowest levels of inflammatory markers. Identifying these clusters offers physicians opportunity for more personalized T2DM management, potentially mitigating its associated complications.

Abstract
People with type 2 diabetes mellitus have increased risk of chronic kidney disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Improved care delivery and implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy have contributed to the declining incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in high-income countries. By contrast, the global incidence of chronic kidney disease and associated mortality is either plateaued or increased, leading to escalating direct and indirect medical costs. Given limited resources, better risk stratification approaches to identify people at risk of rapid progression to end-stage kidney disease can reduce therapeutic inertia, facilitate timely interventions and identify the need for early nephrologist referral. Among people with chronic kidney disease G3a and beyond, the kidney failure risk equations (KFRE) have been externally validated and outperformed other risk prediction models. The KFRE can also guide the timing of preparation for kidney replacement therapy with improved healthcare resources planning and may prevent multiple complications and premature mortality among people with chronic kidney disease with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present review summarizes the evidence of KFRE to date and call for future research to validate and evaluate its impact on cardiovascular and mortality outcomes, as well as healthcare resource utilization in multiethnic populations and different healthcare settings.

Non-insulin-based insulin resistance indexes in predicting atrial fibrillation recurrence following ablation: a retrospective study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:87. [PMID: 38419016 PMCID: PMC10902970 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02158-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) is involved in the pathophysiological processes of arrhythmias. Increasing evidence suggests triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index, metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI), and triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio are simple and reliable surrogates for IR. Although they have been associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), evidence supporting this is limited. Here, this is the first study to investigate the association between TyG-BMI index and AF recurrence following radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). The performance of the four non-insulin-based IR indexes in predicting AF recurrence after ablation was explored. METHODS A total of 2242 AF patients who underwent a de novo RFCA between June 2018 to January 2022 at two hospitals in China were included in this retrospective study. The predictive values of IR indexes for AF recurrence after ablation were assessed. RESULTS During 1-year follow-up, 31.7% of patients experienced AF recurrence. The multivariable analysis revealed that TyG index, METS-IR, and TyG-BMI index were independent risk factors for AF recurrence. Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a connection between METS-IR, TyG-BMI index, and AF recurrence (P < 0.001). Furthermore, incorporating the METS-IR or TyG-BMI index to the basic risk model with fully adjusted factors considerably enhanced the forecast of AF recurrence, as demonstrated by the C-statistic, continuous net reclassification improvement, and integrated discrimination improvement. CONCLUSIONS TyG index, METS-IR, and TyG-BMI index were independently associated with AF recurrence following ablation. Among the four non-insulin-based IR indexes, TyG-BMI had the highest predictive value, followed by METS-IR.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to escalate, necessitating innovative therapeutic approaches that target distinct pathways and address DM complications. Flavonoids have been shown to possess several pharmacological activities that are important for DM. This study aimed to evaluate the in vivo effects of the flavonoid melanoxetin using Goto-Kakizaki rats. Over a period of 14 days, melanoxetin was administered subcutaneously to investigate its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic properties. The results show that melanoxetin reduced insulin resistance in adipose tissue by targeting protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B. Additionally, melanoxetin counteracted oxidative stress by reducing nitrotyrosine levels and modulating superoxide dismutase 1 and hemeoxygenase in adipose tissue and decreasing methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone (MG-H1), a key advanced glycation end product (AGE) implicated in DM-related complications. Moreover, the glyoxalase 1 expression decreased in both the liver and the heart, correlating with reduced AGE levels, particularly MG-H1 in the heart. Melanoxetin also demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects by reducing serum prostaglandin E2 levels, and increasing the antioxidant status of the aorta wall through enhanced acetylcholine-dependent relaxation in the presence of ascorbic acid. These findings provide valuable insights into melanoxetin's therapeutic potential in targeting multiple pathways involved in type 2 DM, particularly in mitigating oxidative stress and glycation.

Abstract
The prevalences of diabetes mellitus and obesity are increasing yearly and has become a serious social burden. In addition to genetic factors, environmental factors in early life development are critical in influencing the prevalence of metabolic disorders in offspring. A growing body of evidence suggests the critical role of early methyl donor intervention in offspring health. Emerging studies have shown that methyl donors can influence offspring metabolism through epigenetic modifications and changing metabolism-related genes. In this review, we focus on the role of folic acid, betaine, vitamin B12, methionine, and choline in protecting against metabolic disorders in offspring. To address the current evidence on the potential role of maternal methyl donors, we summarize clinical studies as well as experimental animal models that support the impact of maternal methyl donors on offspring metabolism and discuss the mechanisms of action that may bring about these positive effects. Given the worldwide prevalence of metabolic disorders, these findings could be utilized in clinical practice, in which methyl donor supplementation in the early life years may reverse metabolic disorders in offspring and block the harmful intergenerational effect.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the impact of a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist tirzepatide (TZP), and its potential dose-response effect, on heart rate. METHODS Articles were searched from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and clinical trials registries (ClinicalTrials.gov) databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TZP at doses of 5, 10 and 15 mg in adults with type 2 diabetes were included. Six study arms were summarized from original research (TZP 5, 10 and 15 mg, GLP-1 receptor agonists [GLP-1RAs], insulin, placebo). The GLP-1RA and non-GLP-1RA groups were combined to form a control group. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed the quality of each study. Mean differences (MDs) were calculated as effect estimates for continuous outcomes. Pairwise meta-analyses and network meta-analyses were conducted. The study protocol was prospectively registered (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023418551). RESULTS Eight articles were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The mean baseline heart rate ranged from 65.2 to 75.7 beats per minute. Pairwise meta-analysis showed that, compared with combined the control group, there were significantly greater increases in heart rates in the TZP group (MD 1.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.75, 2.89). Similar significant rises were identified when comparing TZP with GLP-1RAs and non-GLP-1RAs (GLP-1 RAs: MD 2.29, 95% CI 1.00, 3.59; non-GLP-1RAs: MD 1.58, 95% CI 0.26, 2.91). TZP 5 mg was associated with smaller increases in heart rates compared to TZP 10 mg and TZP 15 mg (TZP 10 mg: MD -0.97, 95% CI -1.79, -0.14; TZP 15 mg: MD -2.57, 95% CI -3.79, -1.35). TZP 10 mg increased heart rate less than TZP 15 mg (MD -1.5, 95% CI -2.38, -0.82). Network meta-analysis indicated that TZP 15 mg was associated with significant increases in heart rate compared with TZP 5 mg (MD 2.53, 95% CI 1.43, 3.62), TZP 10 mg (MD 1.44, 95% CI 0.35, 2.53), GLP-1RAs (MD 3.46, 95% CI 1.67, 5.25), insulin (MD 2.86, 95% CI 1.32, 4.41) and placebo (MD 2.96, 95% CI 1.36, 4.57). CONCLUSIONS Our study showed not only that there was a greater increase in heart rate in the TZP group than in the control, GLP-1RA and non-GLP-1RA groups, but also that the 15-mg dose of TZP had the strongest impact on increasing heart rates compared with the other five inventions, with a TZP dose-response impact on heart rate. Further research on the effects of TZP treatment-related increases in heart rate is required.
