Inhibition of α-amylase digestion by a Lonicera caerulea berry polyphenol starch complex revealed via multi-spectroscopic and molecular dynamics analyses. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129573. [PMID: 38266829 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129573] [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: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
Polyphenol-starch complexes exhibit synergistic and beneficial effects on both polyphenols and resistant starches. This study evaluates the inhibitory effects and mechanisms of α-amylase on a Lonicera caerulea berry polyphenol-wheat starch (LPWS) complex following high hydrostatic pressure treatments of 400 MPa for 30 min and 600 MPa for 30 min. The IC50 values for α-amylase inhibition by the complex were 3.61 ± 0.10 mg/mL and 3.42 ± 0.08 mg/mL at a 10 % (w/w) polyphenol content. This interaction was further supported by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism, which confirmed that the alpha helix component of the secondary structure of α-amylase was reduced due to the complex. Multifluorescence spectroscopy revealed that the complex induces changes in the microenvironment of fluorophores surrounding the α-amylase active site. Molecular dynamics simulations and molecular docking revealed that the active site of amylose within the complex becomes enveloped in polyphenol clusters. This wrapping effect reduced the hydrogen bonds between amylose and α-amylase, decreasing from 16 groups to just one group. In summary, the LPWS complex represents a low-digestible carbohydrate food source, thus laying the groundwork for the research and development of functional foods aimed at postprandial hypoglycemic effects.

Abstract
This study investigated effects of insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) from wheat bran on starch digestion in vitro, analyzed the inhibition kinetics of IDF toward α-amylase and discussed the underlying mechanisms. Digestion results showed IDF significantly retarded starch digestion with reduced digestion rate and digestible starch content. Enzyme inhibition kinetics indicated IDF was a mixed-type inhibitor to α-amylase, because IDF could bind α-amylase, as evidenced by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Fluorescence quenching and UV-vis absorption experiments conformed this, found IDF led to static fluorescence quenching of α-amylase, mainly through van der Waals and/or hydrogen bonding forces. This interaction induced alternations in α-amylase secondary structure, showing more loosening and misfolding structures. This may prevent the active site of enzyme from capturing substrates, contributing to reduced α-amylase activity. These results would shed light on the utilization of IDF in functional foods for the management of postprandial blood glucose.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder marked by postprandial hyperglycemia due to several etiologies including abnormal carbohydrate digestion and glycation of hemoglobin. The prolong use of synthetic drugs results in characteristic side effects which necessitates the discovery of safe and cost-effective substitutes. The aim of the current study is to isolate and evaluate the antidiabetic potential of the phenolic compounds from the leaves of Tradescantia pallida. Syringic acid, p-coumaric acid, morin and catechin (compounds 1-4) were isolated and characterized from Tradescantia pallida leaves using column chromatography and spectroscopic techniques. The in vitro antidiabetic potential of the phenolic compounds were assessed using α-amylase and non-enzymatic glycosylation of hemoglobin protein assays. A mechanistic insight of interactions between phenolic compounds and human α-amylase and hemoglobin protein were scrutinized by employing molecular docking method. Prime Molecular Mechanics/Generalized Born Surface Area (MM-GBSA) calculations were carried out to find the binding energies of the ligand-protein complexes. Morin and catechin were further analyzed to find the dynamic and thermodynamic constraints of the complexes under specific biological conditions using molecular dynamic simulation trajectories. The stability and flexibility of the complexes were justified by fluctuation of α-carbon chain, Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD), Root Mean Square Fluctuation (RMSF) and type of interactions involved which authenticated the in vitro inhibitory potential of morin and catechin against enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. The current study could be fruitful in rational designing of safe antidiabetic drugs of natural origin.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
In this paper, we provide an overview of the evolution of the definition of hyperglycemia during the past century and the alterations in glucose dynamics that cause fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia. We discuss how extensive mechanistic, physiological research into the factors and pathways that regulate the appearance of glucose in the circulation and its uptake and metabolism by tissues and organs has contributed knowledge that has advanced our understanding of different types of hyperglycemia, namely prediabetes and diabetes and their subtypes (impaired fasting plasma glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, combined impaired fasting plasma glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes mellitus), their relationships with medical complications, and how to prevent and treat hyperglycemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in people with obesity and is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D). The effect of OSA on metabolic function and the precise mechanisms (insulin resistance, β-cell dysfunction, or both) responsible for the increased T2D risk in people with OSA are unknown. DESIGN AND METHODS We used a two-stage hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp procedure in conjunction with stable isotopically labeled glucose and palmitate tracer infusions and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose injection and positron emission tomography to quantify multi-organ insulin action and oral and intravenous tolerance tests to evaluate glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in fifteen people with obesity and OSA and thirteen people with obesity without OSA. RESULTS OSA was associated with marked insulin resistance of adipose tissue triglyceride lipolysis and glucose uptake into both skeletal muscles and adipose tissue, whereas there was no significant difference between the OSA and control groups in insulin action on endogenous glucose production, basal insulin secretion, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion during both intravenous and oral glucose tolerance tests. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that OSA is a key determinant of insulin sensitivity in people with obesity and underscore the importance of taking OSA status into account when evaluating metabolic function in people with obesity. These findings may also have important clinical implications because disease progression and the risk of diabetes-related complications vary by T2D subtype (i.e. severe insulin resistance vs insulin deficiency). People with OSA may benefit most from the targeted treatment of peripheral insulin resistance and early screening for complications associated with peripheral insulin resistance.

Abstract
The effects of longan seed polyphenols (LSPs) on postprandial glycemic response in mice were investigated, enzyme inhibition kinetics of LSPs against α-amylase were studied using an inhibition assay in vitro, and the underlying mechanisms were discussed by analyzing the impacts of LSPs on the structure of α-amylase using multispectral approaches. The results showed LSPs significantly suppressed blood glucose response in a dose-dependent manner. Enzyme inhibition analysis demonstrated LSPs inhibited α-amylase activity in a mixed type (IC50 3.02 mg mL-1). UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence quenching spectroscopy suggest LSPs tend to bind with α-amylase through static interaction at one binding site, mainly through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. The secondary structure of α-amylase was changed by LSPs as reviewed by circular dichroism, showing a more compact skeleton and more flexible loop of α-amylase. This hinders the substrate from reaching the binding site of the enzyme, resulting in reduced enzyme activity. These suggest the potential application of LSPs as a hypoglycemic agent in functional foods.

Abstract
CONTEXT A recent meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies data from East Asians identified aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) rs671 as a susceptibility variant for type 2 diabetes in males. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between ALDH2 rs671 and metabolic characteristics. METHODS We studied 94 nonobese, nondiabetic, Japanese men. Using a 2-step hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, we evaluated insulin sensitivity in muscle and liver. Intrahepatic lipid and fat distribution were measured using 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging, respectively. We divided participants into a risk-carrying group with ALDH2 rs671 G/G (n = 53) and a nonrisk-carrying group with ALDH2 rs671 G/A or A/A (n = 41). RESULTS The risk-carrying group had significantly higher levels of alcohol consumption (18.4 [interquartile range, IQR, 10.4-48.9]) vs 12.1 (IQR, 1.3-29.0) g/day; P = .003), elevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (97.5 ± 7.9 vs 93.5 ± 6.2 mg/dL; P = .010), lower hepatic insulin sensitivity (61.7 ± 20.5% vs 73.1 ± 15.9%; P = .003), and lower fasting glucose clearance (0.84 ± 0.8 dL·m-2·min-1 vs 0.87 ± 0.09 dL·m-2·min-1; P = .047) than the nonrisk-carrying group, while insulin resistance in muscle and body fat distribution were similar. The single linear correlation analysis revealed significant correlations between alcohol consumption and hepatic insulin sensitivity (r = -0.262, P = .011), fasting glucose clearance (r = -0.370, P < .001), or FPG (r = 0.489, P < .001). The multiple regression analysis revealed that both ALDH2 rs671 G/G genotype and alcohol consumption were significant independent correlates for hepatic insulin sensitivity, whereas only alcohol consumption was a significant independent correlate for fasting glucose clearance. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that high-alcohol intake-dependent and independent hepatic insulin resistance and reduced fasting glucose clearance due to high alcohol intake could be a relatively upstream metabolic abnormality in ALDH2 rs671 G/G carriers.

Abstract
Mimosa pudica Linn is a well-known perennial herb and is traditionally used in ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of various illnesses. Despite its abundance in nature, the therapeutic potential of this invasive weed is deemed to be underappreciated in Malaysia. Previous studies have found an abundance of bioactive compounds associated with potent antioxidant properties in all parts of the plant. However, the optimum parameters required for the extraction of antioxidant compounds are still unknown. Therefore, the present study aimed to optimize the solvent extraction parameters of M. pudica using response surface methodology to enrich the accumulation of antioxidant compounds in the extracts. The effects of the optimized M. pudica extracts were then evaluated on the cell viability and glucose uptake ability in a 3T3-L1 adipocyte cell line. The highest total phenolic (91.98 mg of gallic acid equivalent per g of the dry extract) and total flavonoid content (606.31 mg of quercetin equivalent per g of the dry extract) were recorded when using 100% ethanol that was five-fold and three-fold higher, respectively, as compared to using 50% ethanol. The extract concentration required to achieve 50% of antioxidant activity (IC50 value) was 42.0 µg/mL using 100% ethanol as compared to 975.03 µg/mL using 50% ethanol. The results indicated that the use of 100% ethanol solvent had the greatest impact on the accumulation of antioxidant compounds in the extract (p < 0.05). Cell viability assay revealed that all extract concentration treatments recorded a viability level of above 50%. Glucose uptake assay using 2-NBDG analog showed that the cells treated with 50 µg/mL extract combined with insulin were five-fold higher than the control group. Given the high antioxidant and antidiabetic properties of this plant, M. pudica can be easily highlighted as a plant subject of interest, which warrants further investigation for nutraceutical prospects.

Abstract
Insulin resistance (IR) is the common pathophysiological basis of many metabolic diseases. IR is characterized by decreased glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, especially in skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is the main target tissue of glucose uptake under insulin stimulation. Glucose uptake by skeletal muscle is complex, and it is controlled by many pathways. The PI3K/AKt/GSK-1 signaling pathway is not only the main pathway for insulin signal transduction but also an important mechanism for regulating blood glucose. From the binding of insulin to its receptors on the surface of target cells to the transportation of glucose from extracellular fluid to skeletal muscle, a series of signal transduction processes is completed, any of which potentially affects the physiological effects of insulin and leads to IR. Resistance exercise (RT) can reduce skeletal muscle IR and effectively improve blood glucose control and glycosylated hemoglobin level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the exact mechanism by which RT improves skeletal muscle IR remains unclear. Therefore, this paper discusses the above problems by tracking the progress of the literature to deepen the correlation between RT and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity and provide further evidence for the application of exercise therapy in IR. In conclusion, RT mainly improves insulin sensitivity of skeletal muscle by increasing muscle mass, microvascular blood flow, and glucose transporter-4 expression in skeletal muscle, as well as by reducing lipid accumulation and inflammation in skeletal muscle. Thus, it is potentially useful in the prevention and treatment of T2DM.

Forty-One Plant Extracts Screened for Dual Antidiabetic and Antioxidant Functions: Evaluating the Types of Correlation between -Amylase Inhibition and Free Radical Scavenging.

Abstract
Dysregulation of glucose homeostasis followed by chronic hyperglycemia is a hallmark of diabetes mellitus (DM), a disease spreading as a worldwide pandemic for which there is no satisfactory dietary treatment or cure. The development of glucose-controlling drugs that can prevent complications of DM, such as hyperglycemia and oxidative stress, which contribute to the impairment of the key physiological processes in the body, is of grave importance. In pursuit of this goal, this study screened 41 plant extracts for their antidiabetic and antioxidant activities by employing assays to test for α-amylase inhibition and free radical scavenging activity (FRSA) and by measuring glucose uptake in L6-GLUT4myc cells. While extracts of Rhus coriaria, Punica granatum, Olea europaea, Pelargonium spp., Stevia rebaudiana, and Petroselinum crispum demonstrated significant α-amylase inhibition, the extracts of Rhus coriaria and Pelargonium spp. also demonstrated increased FRSA, and the extract of Rhus coriaria stimulated glucose uptake. These natural extracts, which are believed to have fewer side effects because they are prepared from edible plants, interfere with the process in the small intestine that breaks down dietary carbohydrates into monosaccharide and disaccharide derivatives, and thereby suppress increases in diet-induced blood glucose; hence, they may have clinical value for type 2 diabetes management. The Pelargonium spp. and Rhus coriaria extracts demonstrated the highest antidiabetic and antioxidant activities. Both plants may offer valuable medical benefits, especially because they can be taken as dietary supplements by patients with diabetes and can serve as sources of new, natural-based antidiabetic drug candidates. The enhancement of cellular glucose uptake stimulated by Rhus coriaria extract could lead to the development of clinical applications that regulate blood glucose levels from within the circulatory system. Isolating bioactive substances from these plant extracts and testing them in diabetic mice will significantly advance the development of natural drugs that have both antidiabetic and free radical-scavenging properties, likely with lesser side effects.

Obesity Is Associated With Increased Basal and Postprandial β-Cell Insulin Secretion Even in the Absence of Insulin Resistance. Diabetes 2020; 69:2112-2119. [PMID: 32651241 PMCID: PMC7506835 DOI: 10.2337/db20-0377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2020] [Accepted: 07/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that obesity, independent of insulin resistance, is associated with increased insulin secretion. We compared insulin kinetics before and after glucose ingestion in lean healthy people and people with obesity who were matched on multiorgan insulin sensitivity (inhibition of adipose tissue lipolysis and glucose production and stimulation of muscle glucose uptake) as assessed by using a two-stage hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic pancreatic clamp procedure in conjunction with glucose and palmitate tracer infusions and positron emission tomography. We also evaluated the effect of diet-induced weight loss on insulin secretion in people with obesity who did not improve insulin sensitivity despite marked (∼20%) weight loss. Basal and postprandial insulin secretion rates were >50% greater in people with obesity than lean people even though insulin sensitivity was not different between groups. Weight loss in people with obesity decreased insulin secretion by 35% even though insulin sensitivity did not change. These results demonstrate that increased insulin secretion in people with obesity is associated with excess adiposity itself and is not simply a compensatory response to insulin resistance. These findings have important implications regarding the pathogenesis of diabetes because hyperinsulinemia causes insulin resistance and insulin hypersecretion is an independent risk factor for developing diabetes.

Inhibition mechanism of ferulic acid against α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Food Chem 2020; 317:126346. [PMID: 32070843 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2020.126346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 167] [Impact Index Per Article: 41.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2019] [Revised: 01/30/2020] [Accepted: 02/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
The inhibitory mechanisms of ferulic acid against α-amylase and α-glucosidase were investigated by enzyme kinetic analysis, circular dichroism (CD), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, fluorescence quenching and molecular docking. Results indicated that ferulic acid strongly inhibited α-amylase (IC50: 0.622 mg ml-1) and α-glucosidase (IC50: 0.866 mg ml-1) by mixed and non-competitive mechanisms, respectively. CD spectra and fluorescence intensity measurements confirmed that the secondary structure of α-amylase and α-glucosidase were changed and the microenvironments of certain amino acid residues were modulated by the binding of ferulic acid. FT-IR spectra indicated that the interaction between ferulic acid and α-amylase/α-glucosidase mainly involved in non-covalent bonds. Molecular docking further demonstrated that the interaction forces between ferulic acid and α-amylase/α-glucosidase were hydrogen bonds, with the binding energy of -5.30 to -5.10 and -5.70 kcal mol-1, respectively. This study might provide a theoretical basis for the designing of novel functional foods with ferulic acid.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Insulin resistance (IR) and pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction are core pathophysiologic features of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Select lifestyle and pharmacologic interventions, including weight loss, physical activity, a Mediterranean diet intervention, and hypoglycemic agents, have been shown to prevent or delay T2DM. However, dietary factors other than weight loss may also impact risk, mainly through effects to enhance insulin sensitivity, although some may also directly or indirectly impact pancreatic beta-cell function. AREAS COVERED A literature review of observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted, and the research indicates dietary factors showing promise for reducing T2DM risk include higher intakes of cereal fibers, unsaturated fatty acids, magnesium, and polyphenols (e.g. anthocyanins), while reducing dietary glycemic load, added sugars, and high-sugar beverages. EXPERT COMMENTARY While these dietary factors are mainly supported by evidence from observational studies and RCTs of surrogate markers for T2DM, they are consistent with current recommendations to emphasize consumption of whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, seafood, fruits, and vegetables, while limiting intakes of saturated fatty acids, refined carbohydrates, and processed meats. Additional dietary intervention RCTs are needed to assess the efficacy of these promising dietary interventions for delaying or preventing the onset of T2DM.
