Abstract
PURPOSE Noise exposure in the workplace has been linked to a number of health consequences. Our objectives were to explore the relationship between occupational noise and lipid metabolism and evaluate the possible mediating effect of obesity indices in those relationships with a cross-sectional study design. METHODS Cumulative noise exposure (CNE) was used to measure the level of noise exposure. Logistic regression models or generalized linear models were employed to evaluate the association of occupational noise and obesity with lipid metabolism markers. Cross-lagged analysis was conducted to explore temporal associations of obesity with lipid metabolism. RESULTS A total of 854 participants were included, with each one-unit increase in CNE, the values of total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased by 0.013 (95% confidence interval: 0.006, 0.020) and 0.009 (0.004, 0.014), as well as the prevalence of dyslipidemia increased by 1.030 (1.013, 1.048). Occupational noise and lipid metabolism markers were all positively associated with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), a Body Shape Index (ABSI) and a Body Shape Index and Body Roundness Index (BRI) (all P < 0.05). Moreover, BMI, WC, ABSI and BRI could mediate the associations of occupational noise with lipid metabolism; the proportions ranged from 21.51 to 24.45%, 23.84 to 30.14%, 4.86 to 5.94% and 25.59 to 28.23%, respectively (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates a positive association between occupational noise and abnormal lipid metabolism, and obesity may partly mediate the association. Our findings reinforce the need to take practical steps to reduce or even eliminate the health risks associated with occupational noise.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigates the causal relationship between lipid traits and GDM in an effort to better understand the aetiology of GDM. METHODS Employing a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) framework, we used Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) as instrumental variables to examine the impact of lipids and apolipoproteins on GDM. The research comprised univariable and multivariable MR analyses, with a prime focus on individual and combined effects of lipid-related traits. Statistical techniques included the fixed-effect inverse variance weighted (IVW) method and supplementary methods such as MR-Egger for comprehensive assessment. RESULTS Our findings revealed the following significant associations: apoA-I and HDL cholesterol were inversely correlated with GDM risk, while triglycerides showed a positive correlation. In multivariable analysis, apoA-I consistently exhibited a strong causal link with GDM, even after adjusting for other lipids and Body Mass Index (BMI). CONCLUSION The study demonstrates a significant causal relationship between apoA-I and GDM risk.

Glycemia and Gluconeogenesis With Metformin and Liraglutide: A Randomized Trial in Youth-onset Type 2 Diabetes. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2024; 109:1361-1370. [PMID: 37967247 PMCID: PMC11031226 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad669] [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: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Elevated rates of gluconeogenesis are an early pathogenic feature of youth-onset type 2 diabetes (Y-T2D), but targeted first-line therapies are suboptimal, especially in African American (AA) youth. We evaluated glucose-lowering mechanisms of metformin and liraglutide by measuring rates of gluconeogenesis and β-cell function after therapy in AA Y-T2D. METHODS In this parallel randomized clinical trial, 22 youth with Y-T2D-age 15.3 ± 2.1 years (mean ± SD), 68% female, body mass index (BMI) 40.1 ± 7.9 kg/m2, duration of diagnosis 1.8 ± 1.3 years-were randomized to metformin alone (Met) or metformin + liraglutide (Lira) (Met + Lira) and evaluated before and after 12 weeks. Stable isotope tracers were used to measure gluconeogenesis [2H2O] and glucose production [6,6-2H2]glucose after an overnight fast and during a continuous meal. β-cell function (sigma) and whole-body insulin sensitivity (mSI) were assessed during a frequently sampled 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test. RESULTS At baseline, gluconeogenesis, glucose production, and fasting and 2-hour glucose were comparable in both groups, though Met + Lira had higher hemoglobin A1C. Met + Lira had a greater decrease from baseline in fasting glucose (-2.0 ± 1.3 vs -0.6 ± 0.9 mmol/L, P = .008) and a greater increase in sigma (0.72 ± 0.68 vs -0.05 ± 0.71, P = .03). The change in fractional gluconeogenesis was similar between groups (Met + Lira: -0.36 ± 9.4 vs Met: 0.04 ± 12.3%, P = .9), and there were no changes in prandial gluconeogenesis or mSI. Increased glucose clearance in both groups was related to sigma (r = 0.63, P = .003) but not gluconeogenesis or mSI. CONCLUSION Among Y-T2D, metformin with or without liraglutide improved glycemia but did not suppress high rates of gluconeogenesis. Novel therapies that will enhance β-cell function and target the elevated rates of gluconeogenesis in Y-T2D are needed.

Abstract
Objective This study explored the efficacy of acupuncture and metformin in enhancing insulin sensitivity among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance (IR), distinguishing between overweight/obese and lean groups. Methods A post-hoc analysis of a randomized trial (NCT02491333) was undertaken. Participants were women aged 18-40 with PCOS and IR. They were randomized to receive true acupuncture with a placebo, metformin with sham acupuncture, or sham acupuncture with a placebo for 4 months, with follow-up visits over 3 months. Our study, involving 339 women, assessed the differential impact of acupuncture and metformin on insulin sensitivity in overweight/obese [body mass index (BMI) ≥ 24] versus lean women (BMI < 24). Primary outcomes measured changes in the Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) at 4 and 7 months. Secondary outcomes assessed changes in glucose area under the curve (glucoseAUC) during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and BMI changes at 4 months. Results Overweight/obese participants were generally older with higher measurements in various health metrics, but lower levels in specific hormonal metrics compared to lean women (p < 0.05). Among overweight/obese women, metformin outperformed acupuncture in reducing HOMA-IR levels (p = 0.004) and showed a significant drop from the baseline after 4 months (p < 0.05). In contrast, acupuncture's effect on HOMA-IR did not significantly differ from sham acupuncture at 4 and 7 months. For lean women, metformin and acupuncture showed comparable improvements in HOMA-IR, with notable declines at 4 and 7 months (p < 0.05). Acupuncture proved more beneficial for lean women than their overweight/obese counterparts after 4 months (p = 0.021). Conclusion In overweight/obese women with PCOS and IR, acupuncture was less effective than metformin in enhancing insulin sensitivity. However, in lean women, acupuncture's efficacy was comparable to metformin. Further studies are required to validate these observations.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The global epidemic of youth-onset obesity is tightly linked to the rising burden of cardiometabolic disease across the lifespan. While the link between childhood obesity and cardiovascular disease is established, this contemporary review summarizes recent and novel advances in this field that elucidate the mechanisms and impact of this public health issue. RECENT FINDINGS The review highlights the emerging data supporting the relationship between childhood adverse events, social determinants of health, and systemic and institutional systems as etiological factors. We also provide updates on new screening and treatment approaches including updated nutrition and dietary guidelines and benchmarks for pediatric obesity screening, novel pharmacological agents for pediatric obesity and type 2 diabetes such as glucagon-like 1 peptide receptor agonists, and we discuss the long-term safety and efficacy data on surgical management of pediatric obesity. The global burden of pediatric obesity continues to rise and is associated with accelerated and early vascular aging especially in youth with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Socio-ecological determinants of risk mediate and moderate the relationship of childhood obesity with cardiometabolic disease. Recognizing the importance of neighborhood level influences as etiological factors in the development of cardiovascular disease is critical for designing effective policies and interventions. Novel surgical and pharmacological interventions are effective pediatric weight-loss interventions, but future research is needed to assess whether these agents, within a socio-ecological framework, will be associated with abatement of the pediatric obesity epidemic and related increased cardiovascular disease risk.

Abstract
Lipotoxicity is the dysregulation of the lipid environment and/or intracellular composition that leads to accumulation of harmful lipids and ultimately to organelle dysfunction, abnormal activation of intracellular signaling pathways, chronic inflammation and cell death. It plays an important role in the development of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, including diabetic nephropathy, obesity-related glomerulopathy, age-related kidney disease, polycystic kidney disease, and the like. However, the mechanisms of lipid overload and kidney injury remain poorly understood. Herein, we discuss two pivotal aspects of lipotoxic kidney injury. First, we analyzed the mechanism of lipid accumulation in the kidney. Accumulating data indicate that the mechanisms of lipid overload in different kidney diseases are inconsistent. Second, we summarize the multiple mechanisms by which lipotoxic species affect the kidney cell behavior, including oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, dysregulated autophagy, and inflammation, highlighting the central role of oxidative stress. Blocking the molecular pathways of lipid accumulation in the kidney and the damage of the kidney by lipid overload may be potential therapeutic targets for kidney disease, and antioxidant drugs may play a pivotal role in the treatment of kidney disease in the future.

Abstract
In pediatric population with diabetes and obesity, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) has been associated with worsening vascular outcomes, however, the cumulative role of HOMA-IR, hyperglycemia, and hyperinsulinemia on repeatedly measured vascular outcomes in asymptomatic youth is unknown. We examined the longitudinal associations of fasting glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT). From the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) birth cohort, UK 1,779, 15-yr-old participants were followed up for 9 yr. Glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR assessed at 15, 17, and 24 yr and sex-specifically dichotomized as ≥75th percentile, indicating high category and <75th percentile as reference. cfPWV and cIMT were measured at ages 17 and 24 yr. Associations were examined using linear mixed-effect models adjusted for cardiometabolic and lifestyle covariates. Among 1,779 participants [49.9% female], glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR had a J- or U-shaped increase from ages 15 through 24 yr. The cumulative exposures to hyperinsulinemia effect estimate -0.019 mU/L; [95% CI -0.019 to -0.002; P = 0.033] and high HOMA-IR: -0.021; [-0.039 to -0.004; P = 0.019] from 15 to 24 yr of age were negatively associated with the 7-yr cfPWV progression. Only cumulative hyperinsulinemia and high HOMA-IR from ages 15 to 17 yr but not from ages 17 to 24 yr was associated with decreased cfPWV progression. There were no associations between cumulative hyperglycemia and cfPWV or cIMT progression. Hyperinsulinemia and HOMA-IR were not associated with cIMT progression. In conclusion, late adolescence may be an optimal timing for intervention targeted at sustaining the protective effect of the decline of insulin and insulin resistance on arterial stiffness progression.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Fasting plasma glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance had a J- or U-shaped increase from 15 to 24 yr with the base of the curve at age 17 yr. Cumulative high insulin and high insulin resistance from 15 to 24 yr were negatively associated with arterial stiffness progression from ages 17 to 24 yr. Age 17 yr may be an optimal timing for intervention targeted at sustaining the protective effect of the decline of insulin and insulin resistance on arterial stiffness progression.

Abstract
Background Vitamin D affects adipogenesis, oxidative stress, inflammation, secretion of adipocytokines, lipid metabolism and thermogenesis. Some researchers postulate that those effects could be exerted by the influence of vitamin D on chemerin levels. Aim of the study We aimed to investigate if there is a link between serum 25-hydroksyvitamin D [25(OH)D], chemerin and metabolic profile in overweight and obese children before and after vitamin D supplementation. Material and methods The prospective study included 65 overweight and obese children aged 9.08-17.5 years and 26 peers as a control. None of the patients in the study group had received vitamin D within the last twelve months before the study. Results The study group had lower baseline 25(OH)D (p<0.001) and higher chemerin (p<0.001), triglycerides (TG, p<0.001), triglycerides/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C, p<0.001), C-reactive protein (CRP, p<0.05), fasting insulin (p<0.001), Homeostasis Model Assessment - Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR, p<0.001), alanine aminotransferase (ALT, p<0.001) and uric acid (p<0.001) compared to the control group. Baseline vitamin D was related to fasting insulin (R=-0.29, p=0.021), HOMA-IR (R=-0.30, p=0.016), HDL-C (R=0.29, p=0.020) and uric acid (R=-0.28, p=0.037) in the study group. Baseline chemerin was related to insulin at 30' (R=0.27, p=0.030), 60' (R=0.27, p=0.033), 90' (R=0.26, p=0.037) and 120' (R=0.26, p=0.040) during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and ALT (R=0.25, p=0.041) in the study group. Correlation between vitamin D and chemerin (R=-0.39, p=0.046) was found only in the control group. After six months of vitamin D supplementation a decrease in CRP (p<0.01), total cholesterol (p<0.05), ALT (p<0.01), glucose at 150' OGTT (p<0.05) was observed. Moreover, we noticed a tendency for negative association between 25(OH)D and chemerin levels (p=0.085). Multivariable backward linear regression models were build using baseline vitamin D, baseline chemerin and six months chemerin as the dependent variables. Conclusions Our study confirmed that vitamin D has positive effect on metabolic profile in overweight and obese children. The relationship between vitamin D and chemerin is not clear, nevertheless we have observed a tendency to decrease chemerin concentrations after improving vitamin D status, even without a significant reduction in body fat mass.

Data assimilation on mechanistic models of glucose metabolism predicts glycemic states in adolescents following bariatric surgery. Front Physiol 2022; 13:923704.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a complex and under-treated disorder closely intertwined with obesity. Adolescents with severe obesity and type 2 diabetes have a more aggressive disease compared to adults, with a rapid decline in pancreatic β cell function and increased incidence of comorbidities. Given the relative paucity of pharmacotherapies, bariatric surgery has become increasingly used as a therapeutic option. However, subsets of this population have sub-optimal outcomes with either inadequate weight loss or little improvement in disease. Predicting which patients will benefit from surgery is a difficult task and detailed physiological characteristics of patients who do not respond to treatment are generally unknown. Identifying physiological predictors of surgical response therefore has the potential to reveal both novel phenotypes of disease as well as therapeutic targets. We leverage data assimilation paired with mechanistic models of glucose metabolism to estimate pre-operative physiological states of bariatric surgery patients, thereby identifying latent phenotypes of impaired glucose metabolism. Specifically, maximal insulin secretion capacity, σ, and insulin sensitivity, SI, differentiate aberrations in glucose metabolism underlying an individual's disease. Using multivariable logistic regression, we combine clinical data with data assimilation to predict post-operative glycemic outcomes at 12 months. Models using data assimilation sans insulin had comparable performance to models using oral glucose tolerance test glucose and insulin. Our best performing models used data assimilation and had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.77 (95% confidence interval 0.7665, 0.7734) and mean average precision of 0.6258 (0.6206, 0.6311). We show that data assimilation extracts knowledge from mechanistic models of glucose metabolism to infer future glycemic states from limited clinical data. This method can provide a pathway to predict long-term, post-surgical glycemic states by estimating the contributions of insulin resistance and limitations of insulin secretion to pre-operative glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Objective To explore the best treatment of obesity in middle and old age. Methods 80 obese patients in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group according to the numerical table method. The control group was treated with lifestyle intervention, while the intervention group was treated with dapagliflozin combined with lifestyle intervention. The effects of body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and blood lipids (LDL, HDL, TC, and TG) were measured and compared. Anxiety and depression scores were assessed using the 2018 Revised Anxiety and Depression Scale. Results There were no significant differences in body weight, BMI, and waist circumference between the control group and the intervention group before treatment. After treatment, the weight, BMI, and waist circumference of the intervention group were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After treatment, LDL, TC, and TG in the two groups were decreased, and HDL was significantly increased (P < 0.05). After treatment, the blood lipid level in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Anxiety and depression symptoms improved in both groups, and there were no serious adverse effects. Conclusion Dapagliflozin in combination with a lifestyle intervention effectively and safely treats excess weight in middle-aged and older adults, reverses obesity-related markers, and improves psychological symptoms. Its curative effect is better than that of using lifestyle intervention alone.
