Eur J Pharm Sci 2024; 201:106853. [PMID: 39033883 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2024.106853] [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: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
Although older people are the main users of oral medications, few studies are reported on the influence of advanced age on gastric emptying rate of non-caloric liquids. This study aimed at evaluating the gastric emptying of 240 ml water in healthy older and young adults in fasted and fed state conditions using the established method of salivary caffeine kinetics. The gastric emptying of water was evaluated in 12 healthy older volunteers (mean age: 73 ± 6 years) and 12 healthy younger volunteers (mean age: 25 ± 2 years) with the ingestion of a rapid disintegrating tablet containing 20 mg of 13C3-caffeine. The gastric emptying of water was assessed indirectly by calculating the AUC ratios of salivary caffeine concentrations in specific time segments. Comparison of the AUC ratios showed no statistically significant difference between young and older volunteers in both fasted and fed state conditions (p > 0.05). Advanced age itself seems to have no relevant effect on gastric emptying of water in either fasted or fed state conditions and the phenomenon of Magenstrasse appears to follow a similar pattern in healthy older adults as in healthy younger adults.

Gastric emptying in newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve Han Chinese with type 2 diabetes and the impact of 4-week insulin pump therapy. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:3078-3087. [PMID: 38698647 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15626] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate gastric emptying (GE) and the glycaemic response to a 75-g oral glucose load in newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve Han Chinese with type 2 diabetes (T2D) before insulin pump therapy, after 4 weeks of insulin pump therapy, and 12-15 months after insulin pump therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty participants with T2D (baseline glycated haemoglobin [± SD] 10.7% [± 1.2%] 93 [± 10] mmol/mol) ingested a 75-g glucose drink containing 150 mg 13C-acetate, to determine the gastric half-emptying time, and underwent assessment of plasma glucose and serum insulin, C-peptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) over 180 min before and after 4 weeks of insulin pump therapy (discontinued for 48 h before re-assessment). Data were compared to those in 19 healthy participants matched for sex and age. After 12-15 months, GE was re-measured in 14 of the T2D participants. RESULTS At baseline, participants with T2D exhibited substantially augmented fasting and post-glucose glycaemia, diminished insulin secretion, and more rapid GE (p < 0.05 each), but comparable GLP-1, compared to healthy participants. Following insulin pump therapy, insulin secretion increased, GLP-1 secretion was attenuated, fasting and post-glucose glycaemia were lower, and GE was slowed (p < 0.05 each). The slowing of GE in T2D participants was sustained over 12-15 months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS In newly diagnosed Han Chinese with T2D, GE is often accelerated despite poor glycaemic control and is slowed by short-term insulin pump therapy. The effect on GE is maintained for at least 12 months.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate sex differences in gastric emptying and the glycaemic response to a glucose drink and a high carbohydrate meal in type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS In cohort 1, 70 newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve Chinese patients with T2D (44 men) recruited from a diabetes outpatient clinic ingested a 75-g glucose drink containing 150 mg 13C-acetate. In cohort 2, 101 Australian patients with T2D (67 male) recruited from the community, managed by diet and/or metformin monotherapy, ingested a semi-solid mashed potato meal, labelled with 100 μl 13C-octanoic acid. Breath samples were collected over 3 and 4 h, respectively, for assessment of gastric emptying, and venous blood was sampled for evaluation of glycaemia (with and without adjustment for each participant's estimated total blood volume). RESULTS Gastric emptying was slower in female than male subjects in both cohorts (both p < .01). Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that gastric emptying was independently associated with sex (both p < .05). Without adjustment for blood volume, the glycaemic responses to oral glucose and the mixed meal were greater in female subjects (both p < .001). However, after adjustment for blood volume, the glycaemic responses were greater in men (both p < .05). CONCLUSIONS Gastric emptying is slower in women than men with T2D, associated with a reduced blood volume-adjusted glycaemic response to oral glucose and a mixed meal in women. These observations highlight the sex difference in postprandial glucose handling, which is relevant to the personalized management of postprandial glycaemia in T2D.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effects of bariatric arterial embolization (BAE) on gastric emptying of, and the glycaemic response to, an oral glucose load in an obese canine model with impaired glucose tolerance. METHODS Eleven male dogs were fed a high-fat, high-fructose diet for 7 weeks before receiving BAE, which involved selective embolization of the left gastric artery (n = 5; 14.9 ± 0.8 kg), or the sham (n = 6; 12.6 ± 0.8 kg) procedure. Postprocedural body weight was measured weekly for 4 weeks. Prior to and at 4 weeks postprocedure, a glucose solution containing 13C-acetate was administered orally for evaluation of the gastric half-emptying time (T50) and the glycaemic response. The relationship between the changes in the blood glucose area under the curve over the first 60 minutes (AUC0-60min) and the T50 was also assessed. RESULTS At 4 weeks postprocedure, BAE reduced body weight (BAE vs. the sham procedure: -5.7% ± 0.9% vs. 3.5% ± 0.9%, P < .001), slowed gastric emptying (T50 at baseline vs. postprocedure: 75.5 ± 2.0 vs. 82.5 ± 1.8 minutes, P = .021 in the BAE group; 73.8 ± 1.8 vs. 74.3 ± 1.9 minutes in the sham group) and lowered the glycaemic response to oral glucose (AUC0-60min at baseline vs. postprocedure: 99.2 ± 13.7 vs. 67.6 ± 9.8 mmol·min/L, P = .043 in the BAE group; 100.2 ± 13.4 vs. 103.9 ± 14.6 mmol·min/L in the sham group). The change in the glucose AUC0-60min correlated inversely with that of the T50 (r = -0.711; P = .014). CONCLUSIONS In a canine model with impaired glucose tolerance, BAE, while reducing body weight, slowed gastric emptying and attenuated the glycaemic response to an oral glucose load.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) represents one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy and is important to the well-being of both mothers and offspring in the short and long term. Lifestyle intervention remains the mainstay for the management of GDM. The efficacy of nutritional approaches (e.g. calorie restriction and small frequent meals) to improving the maternal-neonatal outcomes of GDM was attested to by Chinese population data, discussed in two articles in recent issues of this journal. However, a specific focus on the relevance of postprandial glycaemic control was lacking. Postprandial rather than fasting hyperglycaemia often represents the predominant manifestation of disordered glucose homeostasis in Chinese women with GDM. There is now increasing appreciation that the rate of gastric emptying, which controls the delivery of nutrients for digestion and absorption in the small intestine, is a key determinant of postprandial glycaemia in both health, type 1 and 2 diabetes. It remains to be established whether gastric emptying is abnormally rapid in GDM, particularly among Chinese women, thus contributing to a predisposition to postprandial hyperglycaemia, and if so, how this influences the therapeutic response to nutritional interventions. It is essential that we understand the role of gastric emptying in the regulation of postprandial glycaemia during pregnancy and the potential for its modulation by nutritional strategies in order to improve post-prandial glycaemic control in GDM.

Diabetologia 2024; 67:1260-1270.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Metformin lowers postprandial glycaemic excursions in individuals with type 2 diabetes by modulating gastrointestinal function, including the stimulation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). The impact of varying the timing of metformin administration on postprandial glucose metabolism is poorly defined. We evaluated the effects of metformin, administered at different intervals before an intraduodenal glucose infusion, on the subsequent glycaemic, insulinaemic and GLP-1 responses in metformin-treated type 2 diabetes. METHODS Sixteen participants with type 2 diabetes that was relatively well-controlled by metformin monotherapy were studied on four separate days in a crossover design. On each day, participants were randomised to receive a bolus infusion of metformin (1000 mg in 50 ml 0.9% saline) via a nasoduodenal catheter at t = -60, -30 or 0 min (and saline at the other timepoints) or saline at all timepoints (control), followed by an intraduodenal glucose infusion of 12.56 kJ/min (3 kcal/min) at t = 0-60 min. The treatments were blinded to both participants and investigators involved in the study procedures. Plasma glucose, insulin and total GLP-1 levels were measured every 30 min between t = -60 min and t = 120 min. RESULTS There was a treatment-by-time interaction for metformin in reducing plasma glucose levels and increasing plasma GLP-1 and insulin levels (p<0.05 for each). The reduction in plasma glucose levels was greater when metformin was administered at t = -60 or -30 min vs t = 0 min (p<0.05 for each), and the increases in plasma GLP-1 levels were evident only when metformin was administered at t = -60 or -30 min (p<0.05 for each). Although metformin did not influence insulin sensitivity, it enhanced glucose-induced insulin secretion (p<0.05), and the increases in plasma insulin levels were comparable on the 3 days when metformin was given. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION In well-controlled metformin-treated type 2 diabetes, glucose-lowering by metformin is greater when it is given before, rather than with, enteral glucose, and this is associated with a greater GLP-1 response. These observations suggest that administration of metformin before meals may optimise its effect in improving postprandial glycaemic control.

Abstract
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models can help to understand the effects of gastric emptying on pharmacokinetics and in particular also provide a platform for understanding mechanisms of food effects, as well as extrapolation between different postprandial conditions, whether standardized clinical or patient-oriented, non-clinical conditions. By integrating biorelevant dissolution data from the GastroDuo dissolution model into a previously described mechanistic model of fed-state gastric emptying, we simulated the effects of a high-calorie high-fat meal on the pharmacokinetics of sildenafil, febuxostat, acetylsalicylic acid, theobromine and caffeine. The model was able to simulate the variability in Cmax and tmax caused by the presence of the stomach road. The main influences investigated to affect the gastric emptying process were drug solubility (theobromine and caffeine), tablet dissolution rate (acetylsalicylic acid) and sensitivity to gastric motility (sildenafil and febuxostat). Finally, we showed how PBPK models can be used to extrapolate pharmacokinetics between different prandial states using theobromine as an example with results from a clinical study being presented.

[PMID: 38589353 PMCID: PMC11001856 DOI: 10.1038/s41387-024-00264-8] [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: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric emptying (GE), with wide inter-individual but lesser intra-individual variations, is a major determinant of postprandial glycaemia in health and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, it is uncertain whether GE of a carbohydrate-containing liquid meal is predictive of the glycaemic response to physiological meals, and whether antecedent hyperglycaemia influences GE in T2D. We evaluated the relationships of (i) the glycaemic response to both a glucose drink and mixed meals with GE of a 75 g glucose drink, and (ii) GE of a glucose drink with antecedent glycaemic control, in T2D. METHODS Fifty-five treatment-naive Chinese adults with newly diagnosed T2D consumed standardised meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner with continuous interstitial glucose monitoring. On the subsequent day, a 75 g glucose drink containing 150 mg 13C-acetate was ingested to assess GE (breath test) and plasma glucose response. Serum fructosamine and HbA1c were also measured. RESULTS Plasma glucose incremental area under the curve (iAUC) within 2 hours after oral glucose was related inversely to the gastric half-emptying time (T50) (r = -0.34, P = 0.012). The iAUCs for interstitial glucose within 2 hours after breakfast (r = -0.34, P = 0.012) and dinner (r = -0.28, P = 0.040) were also related inversely to the T50 of oral glucose. The latter, however, was unrelated to antecedent fasting plasma glucose, 24-hour mean interstitial glucose, serum fructosamine, or HbA1c. CONCLUSIONS In newly diagnosed, treatment-naive, Chinese with T2D, GE of a 75 g glucose drink predicts the glycaemic response to both a glucose drink and mixed meals, but is not influenced by spontaneous short-, medium- or longer-term elevation in glycaemia.

Abstract
In 2005, exenatide became the first approved glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Since then, numerous GLP-1 RAs have been approved, including tirzepatide, a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 RA, which was approved in 2022. This class of drugs is considered safe with no hypoglycemia risk, making it a common second-line choice after metformin for treating T2DM. Various considerations can make selecting and switching between different GLP-1 RAs challenging. Our study aims to provide a comprehensive guide for the usage of GLP-1 RAs and dual GIP and GLP-1 RAs for the management of T2DM.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), a gastrointestinal peptide and central mediator of glucose metabolism, is secreted by L cells in the intestine in response to food intake. Postprandial secretion of GLP-1 is triggered by nutrient-sensing via transporters and G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GLP-1 secretion may be lower in adults with obesity/overweight (OW) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than in those with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), but these findings are inconsistent. Because of the actions of GLP-1 on stimulating insulin secretion and promoting weight loss, GLP-1 and its analogs are used in pharmacologic preparations for the treatment of T2DM. However, physiologically stimulated GLP-1 secretion through the diet might be a preventive or synergistic method for improving glucose metabolism in individuals who are OW, or have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or T2DM. This narrative review focuses on fasting and postprandial GLP-1 secretion in individuals with different metabolic conditions and degrees of glucose intolerance. Further, the influence of relevant diet-related factors (e.g., specific diets, meal composition, and size, phytochemical content, and gut microbiome) that could affect fasting and postprandial GLP-1 secretion are discussed. Some studies showed diminished glucose- or meal-stimulated GLP-1 response in participants with T2DM, IGT, or OW compared with those with NGT, whereas other studies have reported an elevated or unchanged GLP-1 response in T2DM or IGT. Meal composition, especially the relationship between macronutrients and interventions targeting the microbiome can impact postprandial GLP-1 secretion, although it is not clear which macronutrients are strong stimulants of GLP-1. Moreover, glucose tolerance, antidiabetic treatment, grade of overweight/obesity, and sex were important factors influencing GLP-1 secretion. The results presented in this review highlight the potential of nutritional and physiologic stimulation of GLP-1 secretion. Further research on fasting and postprandial GLP-1 concentrations and the resulting metabolic consequences under different metabolic conditions is needed.

Abstract
The main goal of therapeutic management of type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is to maintain optimal glycemic control to prevent acute and long-term diabetes complications and to enable a good quality of life. Postprandial glycemia makes a substantial contribution to overall glycemic control and variability in diabetes and, despite technological advancements in insulin treatments, optimal postprandial glycemia is difficult to achieve. Several factors influence postprandial blood glucose levels in children and adolescents with T1DM, including nutritional habits and adjustment of insulin doses according to meal composition. Additionally, hormone secretion, enteroendocrine axis dysfunction, altered gastrointestinal digestion and absorption, and physical activity play important roles. Meal-time routines, intake of appropriate ratios of macronutrients, and correct adjustment of the insulin dose for the meal composition have positive impacts on postprandial glycemic variability and long-term cardiometabolic health of the individual with T1DM. Further knowledge in the field is necessary for management of all these factors to be part of routine pediatric diabetes education and clinical practice. Thus, the aim of this report is to review the main factors that influence postprandial blood glucose levels and metabolism, focusing on macronutrients and other nutritional and lifestyle factors, to suggest potential targets for improving postprandial glycemia in the management of children and adolescents with T1DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Commercially available high-calorie drinks containing fat and protein can be used as dietary supplements in surgical patients. According to preoperative fasting guidelines, high-calorie drinks are non-clear fluids and should not be consumed 6 h before elective procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the gastric emptying time of commercially available high-calorie drink formulations in healthy adults using gastric ultrasound. METHODS 25 healthy adult volunteers were included in this double-blind, cross-over prospective study. On three study sessions, fasted volunteers ingested one of the three study products: a solution of 75 g of glucose in 200 ml of water, a fat-free liquid meal, and a nutritionally complete liquid meal with equal volume and energy content. Gastric ultrasound examinations were performed to evaluate the gastric contents qualitatively and the volume of the gastric contents was calculated from the cross-sectional area of the gastric antrum measured in right lateral position by using a validated model. Repeated gastric ultrasounds were performed at baseline and half-hourly after ingesting the products in supine and right lateral position until the criteria for an empty stomach were met. RESULTS The glucose solution and the standard fat-free high-calorie drink with the same caloric content had a median gastric emptying time of 150 min. The nutritionally complete liquid meal had a median gastric emptying time of 180 min. Gastric emptying was complete in all participants before 6 h had elapsed since ingesting the study products. CONCLUSIONS High calorie liquid meals have a gastric emptying time longer than the recommended fasting time for clear fluids, but shorter than the recommended fasting time for solids in healthy adults.

An extension of biorelevant fed-state dissolution tests to clinical pharmacokinetics - A study on gastrointestinal factors influencing rivaroxaban exposure and efficacy in atrial fibrillation patients. Int J Pharm 2024; 649:123626.

Abstract
A direct oral anticoagulant rivaroxaban fails to prevent stroke and systemic embolism in one-to-several percent of patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), but the reasons are unknown. The study used semi-mechanistic in vitro-in vivo prediction (IVIVP) modeling to explore the reasons for ineffective thrombosis prevention in NVAF patients. Steady-state drug concentrations in plasma were measured at 0 h (Ctrough), 3 h (C3h), and 12 h post-dosing in thirty-four patients treated with 20 mg rivaroxaban daily. The clinical data were compared against "virtual twins" generated with a novel IVIVP model that combined drug dissolution modeling, mechanistic description of gastric drug transit, and population pharmacokinetics defining the variability of drug disposition. The nonresponders had significantly lower C3h and Ctrough than the responders (p < 0.001) and the covariates included in the population pharmacokinetic submodel did not fully explain this difference. Simulations involving varied gastrointestinal parameters in the "virtual twins" revealed that lower small intestinal effective permeability (Peff), rather than a slower stomach emptying rate, could explain low rivaroxaban exposure in the nonresponders. IVIVP modeling was effectively used for exploring pharmacotherapy failure. Low Peff, found as a major determinant of ineffective rivaroxaban treatment, encourages further research to find (pato)physiological factors influencing suboptimal absorption.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The mechanisms behind the diminished incretin effect in type 2 diabetes are uncertain, but impaired vagal transmission has been suggested. We aimed to investigate the association between the incretin effect and autonomic neuropathy, and the degree of dysglycaemia and duration of diabetes. DESIGN AND METHODS For a cross-sectional study, we included participants with either longstanding type 2 diabetes, recent onset, untreated diabetes and controls without diabetes matched for age, sex and body mass index. Autonomic nerve function was assessed with cardiovascular reflex tests, heart rate variability and sudomotor function. Visceral afferent nerves in the gut were tested performing rapid rectal balloon distention. An oral glucose tolerance test and an intravenous isoglycaemic glucose infusion were performed to calculate the incretin effect and gastrointestinal-mediated glucose disposal (GIGD). RESULTS Sixty-five participants were recruited. Participants with diabetes had rectal hyposensitivity for earliest sensation (3.7 ± 1.1 kPa in longstanding, 4.0 ± 1.3 in early), compared to controls (3.0 ± 0.9 kPa), p = .005. Rectal hyposensitivity for earliest sensation was not associated with the incretin effect (rho = -0.204, p = .106), but an association was found with GIGD (rho -0.341, p = .005). Incretin effect and GIGD were correlated with all glucose values, HbA1c and duration of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Rectal hyposensitivity was uncovered in both longstanding and early type 2 diabetes, and was not associated with the incretin effect, but with GIGD, implying a potential link between visceral neuropathy and gastrointestinal handling of glucose. Both the incretin effect and GIGD were associated with the degree of dysglycaemia and the duration of diabetes. PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED Some of the data have previously been published and presented as a poster on the American Diabetes Association 83rd Scientific Sessions: Meling et al; 1658-P: Rectal Hyposensitivity, a Potential Marker of Enteric Autonomic Nerve Dysfunction, Is Significantly Associated with Gastrointestinally Mediated Glucose Disposal in Persons with Type 2 Diabetes.

Intra-pancreatic fat is associated with high circulating glucagon and GLP-1 concentrations following whey protein ingestion in overweight women with impaired fasting glucose: A randomised controlled trial. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2024; 207:111084.

Abstract
AIM Intra-pancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) while hypothesised to impair beta-cell function, its impact on alpha-cells remains unclear. We evaluated the association between IPFD and markers of pancreatic cells function using whey protein. METHODS Twenty overweight women with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and low or high IPFD (<4.66% vs ≥4.66%) consumed 3 beverage treatments: 0 g (water control), 12.5 g (low-dose) and 50.0 g (high-dose) whey protein, after an overnight fast, in randomised order. Blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, gastric-inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and amylin were analysed postprandially over 4 h. Incremental area-under-the-curve (iAUC), incremental maximum concentration (iCmax), and time to maximum concentration (Tmax) for these were compared between IPFD groups using repeated measures linear mixed models, also controlled for age (pcov). RESULTS iAUC and iCmax glucose and insulin while similar between the two IPFD groups, high IPFD and ageing contributed to higher postprandial glucagon (iAUC: p = 0.012; pcov = 0.004; iCmax: p = 0.069; pcov = 0.021) and GLP-1 (iAUC: p = 0.006; pcov = 0.064; iCmax: p = 0.011; pcov = 0.122) concentrations. CONCLUSION In our cohort, there was no evidence that IPFD impaired protein-induced insulin secretion. Conversely, IPFD may be associated with increased protein-induced glucagon secretion, a novel observation which warrants further investigation into its relevance in the pathogenesis of dysglycaemia and type-2 diabetes.

[PMID: 37881440 PMCID: PMC10595158 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2023.1260633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023] Open
Abstract
This review article explores the potential of metformin, a medication commonly used for type 2 diabetes, as an antiviral and anti-inflammatory agent in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Metformin has demonstrated inhibitory effects on the growth of SARS-CoV-2 in cell culture models and has shown promising results in reducing viral load and achieving undetectable viral levels in clinical trials. Additionally, metformin exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and modulating immune cell function, which may help prevent cytokine storms associated with severe COVID-19. The drug's ability to regulate the balance between pro-inflammatory Th17 cells and anti-inflammatory Treg cells suggests its potential in mitigating inflammation and restoring T cell functionality. Furthermore, metformin's modulation of the gut microbiota, particularly changes in bacterial taxa and the production of short-chain fatty acids, may contribute to its therapeutic effects. The interplay between metformin, bile acids, the gut microbiome, glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion, and glycemic control has implications for the management of diabetes and potential interventions in COVID-19. By refreshing the current evidence, this review highlights the potential of metformin as a therapeutic option in the management of COVID-19, while also exploring its effects on the gut microbiome and immunometabolism.

Jalleh RJ, Marathe CS, Trahair LG, Jones KL, Horowitz M. A Biphasic Glucose Response during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test Is Associated with Greater Plasma Insulin and GLP-1 Responses and a Reduction in 1-Hour Glucose but Does Not Relate to the Rate of Gastric Emptying in Healthy, Older Adults. Nutrients 2023; 15:3889. [PMID: 37764673 PMCID: PMC10534830 DOI: 10.3390/nu15183889] [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: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The pattern of the plasma glucose response curve during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is of prognostic significance with "biphasic" when compared with "monophasic" patterns being associated with greater insulin sensitivity/secretion and a reduced risk of progression to diabetes. The relationships of the glucose response curves with gastric emptying and incretin hormone secretion are not known. METHODS Thirty-six adults (age > 65 years) without known diabetes consumed a 300 mL drink containing 75 g glucose and 150 mg C13-acetate at baseline and follow-up after 5.8 ± 0.1 years. Plasma glucose, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose independent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and insulin were measured, and participants classified according to the pattern of their glucose response. Gastric emptying was measured on breath samples (stable isotope breath test). RESULTS At baseline, 22 participants had a "monophasic" and 14 a "biphasic" glucose response. The 1 h plasma glucose response curve was greater and the GLP-1 AUC0-120 min and insulin secretion lower in the monophasic group. There were no differences in gastric emptying, GIP or insulin sensitivity. At the follow-up, the 1 h glucose response curve was greater again, while GLP-1 AUC0-120 min was lower in the monophasic group. CONCLUSIONS A biphasic curve is associated with a higher 60 min glucose response curve and increases in GLP-1, but no difference in either GIP or gastric emptying.

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling of oral drug absorption in older adults - an AGePOP review. Eur J Pharm Sci 2023; 188:106496.

Abstract
The older population consisting of persons aged 65 years or older is the fastest-growing population group and also the major consumer of pharmaceutical products. Due to the heterogenous ageing process, this age group shows high interindividual variability in the dose-exposure-response relationship and, thus, a prediction of drug safety and efficacy is challenging. Although physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling is a well-established tool to inform and confirm drug dosing strategies during drug development for special population groups, age-related changes in absorption are poorly accounted for in current PBPK models. The purpose of this review is to summarise the current state-of-knowledge in terms of physiological changes with increasing age that can influence the oral absorption of dosage forms. The capacity of common PBPK platforms to incorporate these changes and describe the older population is also discussed, as well as the implications of extrinsic factors such as drug-drug interactions associated with polypharmacy on the model development process. The future potential of this field will rely on addressing the gaps identified in this article, which can subsequently supplement in-vitro and in-vivo data for more robust decision-making on the adequacy of the formulation for use in older adults and inform pharmacotherapy.

Disparities in the Glycemic and Incretin Responses to Intraduodenal Glucose Infusion Between Healthy Young Men and Women. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2023; 108:e712-e719. [PMID: 36987568 PMCID: PMC10438868 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Premenopausal women are at a lower risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to men, but the underlying mechanism(s) remain elusive. The secretion of the incretin hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), from the small intestine is a major determinant of glucose homeostasis and may be influenced by sex. OBJECTIVES This study compared blood glucose and plasma insulin and incretin responses to intraduodenal glucose infusions in healthy young males and females. DESIGN In Study 1, 9 women and 20 men received an intraduodenal glucose infusion at 2 kcal/min for 60 minutes. In Study 2, 10 women and 26 men received an intraduodenal glucose at 3 kcal/min for 60 minutes. Venous blood was sampled every 15 minutes for measurements of blood glucose and plasma insulin, GLP-1 and GIP. RESULTS In response to intraduodenal glucose at 2 kcal/min, the incremental area under the curve between t = 0-60 minutes (iAUC0-60min) for blood glucose and plasma GIP did not differ between the 2 groups. However, iAUC0-60min for plasma GLP-1 (P = 0.016) and insulin (P = 0.011) were ∼2-fold higher in women than men. In response to intraduodenal glucose at 3 kcal/min, iAUC0-60min for blood glucose, plasma GIP, and insulin did not differ between women and men, but GLP-1 iAUC0-60min was 2.5-fold higher in women (P = 0.012). CONCLUSION Healthy young women exhibit comparable GIP but a markedly greater GLP-1 response to intraduodenal glucose than men. This disparity warrants further investigations to delineate the underlying mechanisms and may be of relevance to the reduced risk of diabetes in premenopausal women when compared to men.

Whey Protein Premeal Lowers Postprandial Glucose Concentrations in Adults Compared with Water-The Effect of Timing, Dose, and Metabolic Status: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Am J Clin Nutr 2023; 118:391-405. [PMID: 37536867 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.05.012] [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: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Serving whey protein before a meal in order to lower postprandial blood glucose concentrations is known as a premeal. The underlying mechanisms are only partly understood but may involve stimulation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and insulin secretion together with a slower gastric emptying rate. OBJECTIVES The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to review all randomized clinical trials investigating premeals with whey protein in comparison with a nonactive comparator (control) that evaluated plasma glucose, GLP-1, GIP, insulin, and/or gastric emptying rate. Secondary aims included subgroup analyses on the timing and dose of the premeal together with the metabolic state of the participants [lean, obese, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)]. METHODS We searched EMBASE, CENTRAL, PUBMED, and clinicaltrials.gov and found 16 randomized crossover trials with a total of 244 individuals. The last search was performed on 9 August, 2022. RESULTS Whey protein premeals lowered peak glucose concentration by -1.4 mmol/L [-1.9 mmol/L; -0.9 mmol/L], and the area under the curve for glucose was -0.9 standard deviation (SD) [-1.2 SD; -0.6 SD] compared with controls (high certainty). In association with these findings, whey protein premeals elevated GLP-1 (low certainty) and peak insulin (high certainty) concentrations and slowed gastric emptying rate (high certainty) compared with controls. Subgroup analyses showed a more pronounced and prolonged glucose-lowering effect in individuals with T2DM compared with participants without T2DM. The available evidence did not elucidate the role of GIP. The protein dose used varied between 4 and 55 g, and meta-regression analysis showed that the protein dose correlated with the glucose-lowering effects. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, whey protein premeals lower postprandial blood glucose, reduce gastric emptying rate, and increase peak insulin. In addition, whey protein premeals may elevate plasma concentrations of GLP-1. Whey protein premeals may possess clinical potential, but the long-term effects await future clinical trials.

Abstract
Semaglutide is a class of long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. We present a 31-year-old female patient with a past medical history of T2DM without complication and no long-term or current use of insulin, class 3 obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and anxiety, who underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in preparation for bariatric surgery while taking semaglutide. Despite appropriately following the preoperative fasting guidelines of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), endoscopy revealed food residue in the gastric body, necessitating abortion of the procedure to reduce the risk of intraoperative pulmonary aspiration. Given the lack of preoperative fasting guidelines for patients on semaglutide to date, and delayed gastric emptying being a known side effect among patients taking semaglutide, anesthesiologists should be aware of alternative methods to ensure no food is present in the stomach to mitigate the risk of pulmonary aspiration during general anesthesia.

Abstract
Metformin is the most prescribed drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but its mechanism of action has not yet been completely elucidated. Classically, the liver has been considered the major site of action of metformin. However, over the past few years, advances have unveiled the gut as an additional important target of metformin, which contributes to its glucose-lowering effect through new mechanisms of action. A better understanding of the mechanistic details of metformin action in the gut and the liver and its relevance in patients remains the challenge of present and future research and may impact drug development for the treatment of T2DM. Here, we offer a critical analysis of the current status of metformin-driven multiorgan glucose-lowering effects.

Abstract
Intake of fiber, as well as protein, and lipid preloading help to control postprandial glycemic elevation in people with type 2 diabetes and in healthy individuals. However, there are few studies on the awareness of meal sequence and nutrient intake status that consider oral conditions. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the effects of meal sequences on nutrient intake status and whether these relationships were related to the number of teeth present. The subjects were recruited from the Medical and Dental Collaboration Center of Kanagawa Dental University Hospital between 2018 and 2021. Medical and dental examinations were performed, and a questionnaire was used to determine whether the diet consisted of vegetables, meat or fish, and carbohydrates in that order. Nutrient intake status was assessed using the brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire. Data were collected from 238 participants. The group with awareness of meal sequence ingested increased nutrients such as n-3 fatty acids, total dietary fiber, calcium, and vitamin C. Saturated fatty acid intake increased in those with fewer teeth, while it was not significantly related to meal sequence. In conclusion, our results showed that meal sequence was associated with nutrient intake status. In addition, the intake of saturated fatty acids increased when many teeth were lost, regardless of meal sequence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To date, the 21st Century has witnessed key developments in the management of diabesity (a conflation of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus [T2D]), including Glucagon Like Peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor agonist therapies, and recently the 'designer' GLP1 Poly-agonist Peptides (GLP1PPs). AREAS COVERED A PubMed search of published data on the GLP1PP class of therapies was conducted. The gut-brain axis forms complex multi-directional interlinks that include autonomic nervous signaling, components of the gut microbiota (including metabolic by-products and gram-negative cell wall components [e.g. endotoxinaemia]), and incretin hormones that are secreted from the gut in response to the ingestion of nutrients. The development of dual-incretin agonist therapies includes combinations of the GLP1 peptide with Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP), Glucagon (Gcg), Cholecystokinin (CCK), Peptide YY (PYY), and Glucagon-Like Peptide 2 (GLP2). Triple incretin agonist therapies are also under development. EXPERT OPINION At the dawn of a new era in the therapeutic management of diabesity, the designer GLP1PP class holds great promise, with each novel combination building on a preexisting palimpsest of clinical data and insights. Future innovations of the GLP1PP class will likely enable medically induced weight loss and glycemic control in diabesity to rival or even out-perform those resulting from bariatric surgery.

The impact of advanced age on gastrointestinal characteristics that are relevant to oral drug absorption: An AGePOP review. Eur J Pharm Sci 2023; 187:106452. [PMID: 37098371 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2023.106452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/27/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this review is to summarize the current knowledge on three physiological determinants of oral drug absorption, i.e., gastric emptying, volumes and composition of luminal fluids, and intestinal permeability, in the advanced age population, so that potential knowledge gaps and directions for further research efforts are identified. Published data on gastric emptying rates in older people are conflicting. Also, there are significant knowledge gaps, especially on gastric motility and emptying rates of drugs and of non-caloric fluids. Compared with younger adults, volumes of luminal contents seem to be slightly smaller in older people. Our understanding on the impact of advanced age on luminal physicochemical characteristics is, at best, very limited, whereas the impact of (co)morbidities and geriatric syndromes in the advanced age population has not been addressed to date. The available literature on the effect of advanced age on intestinal permeability is limited, and should be approached with caution, primarily due to the limitations of the experimental methodologies used.

Peptides 2023; 161:170941. [PMID: 36623554 DOI: 10.1016/j.peptides.2023.170941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Gastric emptying (GE) is a major determinant of the postprandial glycemic and insulinemic responses in health and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the effect of GE on the postprandial glucagon response, which is characteristically augmented in T2D, is unknown. This study examined the relationship between plasma glucagon and GE of a standardized mixed meal in individuals with well-controlled T2D. 89 individuals with T2D (HbA1c 6.6 ± 0.1%) consumed a mashed potato meal labeled with 100 µL 13C-octanoic acid between 0 and 5 min. Venous blood was sampled frequently over 4 h for measurements of blood glucose and plasma glucagon. The gastric half-emptying time (T50) was calculated by quantification of 13C in the breath. Blood glucose peaked at t = 90 min after the meal. Plasma glucagon increased to a peak at t = 30 min and then decreased to a nadir at t = 180 min. The T50 was 68.3 ± 1.6 min. The incremental area under the plasma glucagon curve between t = 0-30 min (glucagon iAUC0-30 min) was related inversely to the T50 (r = -0.23, P = 0.029), while the increase in blood glucose at t = 30 min was related directly to the plasma glucagon iAUC0-30 min (r = 0.25, P = 0.018). Accordingly, individuals with relatively faster GE exhibited higher postprandial glucagon and glucose levels (ANOVA: P<0.01 for each). In well-controlled T2D, the early postprandial glucagon response to a mixed meal is related to the rate of GE, and predictive of the initial glycemic response. These observations suggest that a reduction in plasma glucagon may contribute to the effect of dietary and pharmacological strategies which reduce postprandial glycemia in T2D by slowing GE.

Abstract
Delayed gastric emptying is known to have a major impact on drug absorption. While the test meal recommended by the FDA and EMA to study food effects represents a worst-case scenario, it does not reflect the reality of the patients. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models could bridge the gap between clinical settings of food effect studies and the diverse nonclinical situations by simulating the effect of meals with different compositions and volumes. A mathematical equation based on a stretched exponential function was reparameterized to describe the gastric emptying process of mixed solid meals. The model was fitted to literature data including the gastric emptying data of 23 meals from 15 studies. Using a multiple linear regression model, we were able to predict the two function parameters from the meal characteristics caloric content and the percentage of calories derived from fat. After implementation into the PBPK software PK-Sim, the model, together with a separate compartment for liquid gastric contents, was compared to commercially available software. The model is able to simulate the gastric emptying of mixed solid meals containing drugs based on specific meal characteristics. A second compartment allows for distribution between liquid and solid components and rapid gastric emptying along the Magenstrasse.

Abstract
AIM To investigate whether co-ingestion of dietary protein with, or before, carbohydrate may be a useful strategy to reduce postprandial hyperglycaemia in older men with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood glucose, plasma insulin and glucagon concentrations were measured for 180 minutes following ingestion of a drink containing 30 g of glucose (G; 120 kcal), 30 g of whey protein (120 kcal), 30 g of glucose plus 30 g of whey protein (GP; 240 kcal), or control (~2 kcal) in older men with T2D (n = 10, 77 ± 1 years; 31 ± 1.7 kg/m2 ) and without T2D (n = 10, 78 ± 2 years; 27 ± 1.4 kg/m2 ). Mixed model analysis was used. RESULTS GP versus G markedly reduced the increase in blood glucose concentrations (P < .001) and had a synergistic effect on the increase in insulin concentrations (P < .001), in men both with and without T2D. Glucose concentrations were higher in men with T2D compared with those without T2D, whereas insulin and glucagon concentrations were largely unaffected by the presence of T2D. Gastric emptying was faster in men with T2D than in those without T2D. CONCLUSIONS The ability of whey protein to reduce carbohydrate-induced, postprandial hyperglycaemia is retained in older men with T2D compared with those without T2D, and whey protein supplementation may be a useful strategy in the prevention and management of T2D in older people.

Abstract
Gastric emptying is a major determinant of postprandial blood glucose, accounting for ~35% of variance in peak glucose in both healthy individuals and those with type 2 diabetes. Gastric emptying is frequently disordered in individuals with diabetes (both abnormally delayed and accelerated). Delayed gastric emptying, i.e. diabetic gastroparesis, may be linked to upper gastrointestinal symptoms for which current treatment remains suboptimal; pharmacological acceleration of delayed emptying is only weakly associated with symptom improvement. Accordingly, the relationship between symptoms and delayed gastric emptying is not simply 'cause and effect'. In insulin-treated patients, disordered gastric emptying, even when not associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, can cause a mismatch between the onset of insulin action and the availability of absorbed carbohydrate, leading to suboptimal glycaemic control. In patients with type 2 diabetes, interventions that slow gastric emptying, e.g. glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, reduce postprandial blood glucose. This review focuses on recent insights into the impact of gastric emptying on postprandial blood glucose, effects of diabetes therapy on gastric emptying and the management of disordered gastric emptying in diabetes. In view of the broad relevance of gastric emptying to diabetes management, it is important that future clinical trials evaluating novel therapies that may affect gastric emptying should quantify the latter with an appropriate technique, such as scintigraphy or a stable isotope breath test.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breath tests utilising 13C-labelled substrates for the assessment of gastric emptying have been applied widely. Wagner-Nelson analysis is a pharmacokinetic model that can be utilised to generate a gastric emptying curve from the % 13CO2 measured in breath samples. We compared Wagner-Nelson analysis with (i) scintigraphy and (ii) conventional breath test modelling to quantify gastric emptying in type 2 diabetes. METHODS Thirteen patients (age 68.1±1.5 years, body mass index 31.0±0.9 kg/m2, HbA1c 6.3±0.2%) consumed a mashed potato meal comprising 65 g powdered potato, 20 g glucose, 250 ml water, an egg yolk labelled with 100 μL 13C-octanoic acid and 20MBq 99mTc-calcium phytate. Scintigraphic data were acquired and breath samples collected for 4 hours after the meal. Gastric emptying curves were derived based on each technique; the 50% emptying time and intragastric retention at 60 min were also calculated. RESULTS With Wagner-Nelson analysis, a Kel=0.60 (the elimination constant) best approximated the scintigraphic gastric emptying curve. There was a relationship between the T50 calculated with scintigraphy and by both Wagner-Nelson Kel=0.60 (r2=0.45, P<0.05) and conventional analysis (r2=0.44, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the 50% gastric emptying time for scintigraphy (68.5±4.8 min) and Wagner-Nelson Kel=0.60 (71.3±4.5 min), however, the 50% gastric emptying time calculated by conventional analysis was much greater at 164.7±6.0 min (P<0.001). CONCLUSION In type 2 diabetes, gastric emptying of a mashed potato meal measured using a 13C-octanoic acid breath test analysed with Wagner-Nelson Kel=0.60 closely reflects measurements obtained with scintigraphy, whereas, in absolute terms, the conventional breath test analysis does not.

Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus is a common lifestyle disease where patients suffer from gastric dysmotility, which is usually underdiagnosed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of Tc-99m sulfur colloid-labeled meal gastric emptying scintigraphy in Type 2 diabetic patients. Methods A total of 43 patients and 30 controls, satisfying the inclusion criteria from March 2019 to August 2020, were included. Serial planar images were acquired in both anterior and posterior projections for an iso-time of 1 min at 1 min, 60 min (1 h), 120 min (2 h), and 240 min (4 h) after consumption of Tc-99m SC-labeled idly (rice cakes). The gastric emptying was considered delayed if there was <10% emptying at 1 h, <70% emptying at 2 h, and <94% emptying at 4 h. Results The mean T1/2 was similar among cases (44.11 ± 10.52 min) and controls (49.56 ± 13.44 min, P = 0.056) while the mean gastric emptying at 1 h was slower in cases compared to controls, P = < 0.01. Two cases (4.6%) had delayed gastric emptying while none of the controls had delayed gastric emptying. T1/2 showed no association with duration of diabetes or HbA1c levels (P = 0.76, 0.45) and a weak correlation with fasting blood sugar (FBS) on the day of scan (R value = 0.18). Conclusion In comparison to controls, diabetic patients had faster gastric emptying with no association with duration of diabetes or HbA1c levels and a weak correlation with FBS on the day of scan.

Abstract
CONTEXT The relationships of gastric emptying (GE) with the glycemic response at 120 minutes, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and insulin secretion following a glucose load in type 2 diabetes (T2D) are uncertain. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the relationship of plasma glucose, GLP-1, and insulin secretion with GE of a 75-g oral glucose load in T2D. DESIGN Single-center, cross-sectional, post hoc analysis. SETTING Institutional research center. PARTICIPANTS 43 individuals with T2D age 65.6 ± 1.1 years, hemoglobin A1c 7.2 ± 1.0%, median duration of diabetes 5 years managed by diet and/or metformin. INTERVENTION Participants consumed the glucose drink radiolabeled with 99mTc-phytate colloid following an overnight fast. GE (scintigraphy), plasma glucose, GLP-1, insulin, and C-peptide were measured between 0 and 180 minutes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The relationships of the plasma glucose at 120 minutes, plasma GLP-1, and insulin secretion (calculated by Δinsulin0-30/ Δglucose0-30 and ΔC-peptide0-30/Δglucose0-30) with the rate of GE (scintigraphy) were evaluated. RESULTS There were positive relationships of plasma glucose at 30 minutes (r = 0.56, P < 0.001), 60 minutes (r = 0.57, P < 0.001), and 120 minutes (r = 0.51, P < 0.001) but not at 180 minutes (r = 0.13, P = 0.38), with GE. The 120-minute plasma glucose and GE correlated weakly in multiple regression models adjusting for age, GLP-1, and insulin secretion (P = 0.04 and P = 0.06, respectively). There was no relationship of plasma GLP-1 with GE. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that there was no significant effect of GE on insulin secretion. CONCLUSION In T2D, while insulin secretion is the dominant determinant of the 120-minute plasma glucose, GE also correlates. Given the relevance to interpreting the results of an oral glucose tolerance test, this relationship should be evaluated further. There appears to be no direct effect of GE on either GLP-1 or insulin secretion.

Abstract
Background: Patients with metabolic syndrome components were frequently noted to have increased nasal and parotid activity on clinically referred scintigraphic whole-body blood pool scans. This increase in activity was not observed in patients without metabolic syndrome. Increased nasal blood pool activity in patients with elevated body mass indices (BMIs) has implications for (1) sleep apnea, (2) risk of nasal infection, and (3) possible impaired nasal lymphatic drainage of brain waste proteins. Methods: To follow-up this clinical observation, a retrospective study was performed on 200 patients having whole-body blood pool scans referred over a 3-year period. The whole-body blood pool scans were evaluated for an association between nose and parotid region of interest (ROI) to heart ROI maximum (max) pixel ratios as correlated with clinical conditions, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Continuous variables of BMI, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), blood glucose, and blood lipids were also correlated with these ratios. Results: A direct association of nose to heart max ratio (NHMR) with diabetes, sleep apnea, and hypertension was found with an increase in the ratio of +0.10 (P = 0.002), +0.13 (P = 0.0002), +0.08 (P = 0.0123), respectively. Correlation of NHMR with continuous variables had moderate correlation with BMI (r = 0.36, P < 0.0001), glucose (r = 0.27, P = 0.0001), HbA1c (r = 0.25, P = 0.0008) and less association with the number of diabetes medications (r = 0.22, P = 0.0021). Similar associations were found for parotid to heart max ratios but were weaker than the NHMR. Conclusions: Patients with metabolic syndrome components have significantly increased nasal and parotid activity on blood pool scans. These associations have implications for the treatment of sleep apnea, for nasal infections involving such agents as Covid-19, and for the risk of dementias related to decreased clearance of brain waste proteins through nasal turbinate lymphatics in patients with metabolic syndrome. If further studies support these findings, the nasal turbinates and the increased parasympathetic activity controlling their dilation could become a new therapeutic target.

Effects of intraduodenal infusion of lauric acid and L-tryptophan, alone and combined, on glucoregulatory hormones, gastric emptying and glycaemia in healthy men. Metabolism 2022; 129:155140. [PMID: 35065080 DOI: 10.1016/j.metabol.2022.155140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2021] [Revised: 12/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/14/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM In healthy men, intraduodenal administration of the fatty acid, lauric acid ('C12') and the amino acid, L-tryptophan ('TRP'), at loads that individually do not affect energy intake, reduce energy intake substantially when combined. C12 and TRP may also stimulate cholecystokinin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which both slow gastric emptying, a key determinant of postprandial blood glucose. Accordingly, combination of C12 and TRP has the potential to reduce post-meal glycaemia more than either nutrient alone. METHODS Twelve healthy, lean men (age (mean ± SD): 28 ± 7 years) received, on 4 separate occasions, 45-min intraduodenal infusions of C12 (0.3 kcal/min), TRP (0.1 kcal/min), C12 + TRP (0.4 kcal/min), or 0.9% saline (control), in a randomised, double-blind fashion. 30 min after commencement of the infusion a mixed-nutrient drink was consumed and gastric emptying measured (13C breath-test) for 3 h. Blood samples were obtained at baseline, in response to treatments alone, and for 2 h post-drink for measurements of plasma glucose, cholecystokinin, GLP-1, C-peptide, insulin and glucagon. 'Early' (first 30 min) and 'overall' glycaemic and hormone responses were evaluated. RESULTS C12 + TRP and C12 delayed the rise in, but did not affect the overall glycaemic response to the drink, compared with control and TRP (all P < 0.05). C12 + TRP slowed gastric emptying compared with control and TRP (both P < 0.005), and C12 non-significantly slowed gastric emptying compared with control (P = 0.090). C12 + TRP and C12 delayed the rise in C-peptide and insulin, and also stimulated CCK and glucagon, compared with control and TRP (all P < 0.05). Only C12 + TRP stimulated early and overall GLP-1 compared with control (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In healthy men, C12 + TRP and C12, in the loads administered, had comparable effects to delay the rise in glucose following a nutrient drink, probably primarily by slowing of gastric emptying, as a result of CCK and GLP-1 stimulation, while TRP had no effect.

Plasma GLP-1 Response to Oral and Intraduodenal Nutrients in Health and Type 2 Diabetes-Impact on Gastric Emptying. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2022; 107:e1643-e1652.

Abstract
CONTEXT Both gastric emptying and the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are major determinants of postprandial glycemia in health and type 2 diabetes (T2D). GLP-1 secretion after a meal is dependent on the entry of nutrients into the small intestine, which, in turn, slows gastric emptying. OBJECTIVE To define the relationship between gastric emptying and the GLP-1 response to both oral and small intestinal nutrients in subjects with and without T2D. METHODS We evaluated: (i) the relationship between gastric emptying (breath test) and postprandial GLP-1 levels after a mashed potato meal in 73 individuals with T2D; (ii) inter-individual variations in GLP-1 response to (a) intraduodenal glucose (4 kcal/min) during euglycemia and hyperglycemia in 11 healthy and 12 T2D, subjects, (b) intraduodenal fat (2 kcal/min) in 15 T2D subjects, and (c) intraduodenal protein (3 kcal/min) in 10 healthy subjects; and (iii) the relationship between gastric emptying (breath test) of 75 g oral glucose and the GLP-1 response to intraduodenal glucose (4 kcal/min) in 21 subjects (9 healthy, 12 T2D). RESULTS The GLP-1 response to the mashed potato meal was unrelated to the gastric half-emptying time (T50). The GLP-1 responses to intraduodenal glucose, fat, and protein varied substantially between individuals, but intra-individual variation to glucose was modest. The T50 of oral glucose was related directly to the GLP-1 response to intraduodenal glucose (r = 0.65, P = 0.002). CONCLUSION In a given individual, gastric emptying is not a determinant of the postprandial GLP-1 response. However, the intrinsic gastric emptying rate is determined in part by the responsiveness of GLP-1 to intestinal nutrients.

Abstract
Purpose: Gastric dysmotility has been reported in patients with long-standing diabetes
mellitus (DM). Some patients with DM are diagnosed as diabetes gastroparesis and have
several upper gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms such as appetite loss and abdominal pain.
This study aimed to identify the relationship between gastric motility and upper GI
symptoms in patients with long-standing DM. Method: This study was conducted among 23
patients with DM and 15 healthy controls. All the patients with DM were receiving insulin
treatment and had at least one history of incidence of diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy
or neuropathy. Gastric motility was evaluated using electrogastrography (EGG) and gastric
emptying using the 13C-acetic acid breath test. The most severe upper
gastrointestinal symptoms were assessed in all patients. Results: Compared to healthy
controls, patients with long-standing DM showed a significantly lower percentage of
normogastria at the postprandial state with a lower power ratio in EGG. Gastric emptying
was significantly delayed in patients with DM in the overall analysis. Sixteen patients
with DM (69.6%) demonstrated abnormalities in either gastric myoelectrical activity or
gastric emptying. Among patients with abnormal EGG or delayed gastric emptying, 12 had
some GI symptoms, compared with 3 patients with normal gastric motility. No significant
correlation was observed between the gastric emptying parameters and HbA1c values.
Conclusion: Patients with long-standing DM showed gastric dysmotility, including impaired
gastric myoelectrical activity and delayed gastric emptying. Gastric dysmotility appears
to be closely correlated with upper GI symptoms in patients with long-standing DM.

Abstract
Currently, there is a lack of consensus on the provision of preoperative carbohydrate loading in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to theoretical concerns including the possibility of delayed gastric emptying, perioperative hyperglycemia, and poor surgical outcomes. This narrative review summarizes the accumulating evidence on preoperative carbohydrate loading in this population and whether these concerns are supported by preliminary evidence. In general, the available research suggests that carbohydrate loading may be implemented in those with T2DM without increased risk for intra- and postoperative hyperglycemia or surgical complications. However, there is strong justification for future research to definitively study this highly debated and timely topic. Ultimately, the inclusion of preoperative carbohydrate loading for surgical patients with DM should be guided by the surgical team's clinical judgment and individualized based on patient needs and characteristics.

Abstract
AIMS In healthy individuals, intragastric administration of the branched-chain amino acids, leucine and isoleucine, diminishes the glycaemic response to a mixed-nutrient drink, apparently by stimulating insulin and slowing gastric emptying, respectively. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of leucine and isoleucine on postprandial glycaemia and gastric emptying in type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). METHODS 14 males with T2D received, on 3 separate occasions, in double-blind, randomised fashion, either 10 g leucine, 10 g isoleucine or control, intragastrically 30 min before a mixed-nutrient drink (500 kcal; 74 g carbohydrates, 18 g protein, 15 g fat). Plasma glucose, insulin and glucagon were measured from 30 min pre- until 120 min post-drink. Gastric emptying of the drink was also measured. RESULTS Leucine and isoleucine stimulated insulin, both before and after the drink (all P < 0.05; peak (mU/L): control: 70 ± 15; leucine: 88 ± 17; isoleucine: 74 ± 15). Isoleucine stimulated (P < 0.05), and leucine tended to stimulate (P = 0.078), glucagon before the drink, and isoleucine stimulated glucagon post-drink (P = 0.031; peak (pg/mL): control: 62 ± 5; leucine: 70 ± 9; isoleucine: 69 ± 6). Neither amino acid affected gastric emptying or plasma glucose (peak (mmol/L): control: 12.0 ± 0.5; leucine: 12.5 ± 0.7; isoleucine: 12.0 ± 0.6). CONCLUSIONS In contrast to health, in T2D, leucine and isoleucine, administered intragastrically in a dose of 10 g, do not lower the glycaemic response to a mixed-nutrient drink. This finding argues against a role for 'preloads' of either leucine or isoleucine in the management of T2D.

Abstract
AIM Gastric emptying is a major determinant of the glycaemic response to carbohydrate and is frequently abnormal in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). There is little information about how chronic glycaemic control affects gastric emptying in T2DM. We evaluated gastric emptying of a 75 g glucose drink in community-based patients with T2DM of short duration with good or poor glycaemic control, and compared this to young and older controls. METHODS T2DM patients managed by diet and/or metformin, either well-controlled or poorly-controlled, together with young and age-matched older controls without diabetes, consumed a 75 g oral glucose drink containing 150 mg 13C-acetate for evaluation of gastric emptying (breath test) and blood glucose over 180 min. RESULTS The gastric half-emptying time (T50) was longer in the older than the young non-diabetic subjects (P = 0.041), but shorter in well-controlled T2DM patients than age-matched older controls (P = 0.043). The T50 in poorly-controlled T2DM patients was shorter than in older controls (P = 0.006), but similar to young non-diabetic subjects. CONCLUSIONS Gastric emptying of a glucose drink is delayed with ageing, but more rapid in patients with T2DM of relatively short duration, regardless of their glycaemic status. These observations support interventions that slow gastric emptying to improve postprandial glycaemia in these patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Postprandial glycemic control is an important target for optimal type 2 diabetes management, but is often difficult to achieve. The gastrointestinal tract plays a major role in modulating postprandial glycaemia in both health and diabetes. The various strategies that have been proposed to modulate gastrointestinal function, particularly by slowing gastric emptying and/or stimulating incretin hormone GLP-1, are summarized in this review.

Abstract
Evidence from populations at risk for type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes substantiates the 1-hour plasma glucose as a sensitive alternative marker for identifying high-risk individuals when ß-cell function is relatively more functional. An elevated 1-hour plasma glucose could therefore diagnose dysglycemia and risk for complications across the glycemic spectrum. Reducing the 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test to 1-hour would reduce the burden on patients, likely reduce costs, and enhance its accessibility in practice.

Abstract
Intestinal glucose absorption is integral to postprandial glucose homeostasis. Glucose absorption is dependent on a number of factors, including the exposure of carbohydrate to the mucosa of the upper gastrointestinal tract (determined particularly by the rates of gastric emptying and small intestinal transit), the digestion of complex carbohydrate into monosaccharides, and glucose sensing and transport by the intestinal mucosa. The absorption of glucose in the small intestine is not only a determinant of the appearance of exogenous glucose in the peripheral circulation, but is also coupled to the release of gastrointestinal hormones that in turn influence postprandial glucose metabolism through modulating gastrointestinal motor function, insulin and glucagon secretion, and subsequent energy intake. This review describes the physiology and pathophysiology of intestinal glucose absorption in health and type 2 diabetes, including its relevance to glucose tolerance and the management of postprandial hyperglycaemia.
