Abstract
Chronically elevated levels of glucose are deleterious to pancreatic β cells and contribute to β cell dysfunction, which is characterized by decreased insulin production and a loss of β cell identity. The Krüppel-like transcription factor, Glis3 has previously been shown to positively regulate insulin transcription and mutations within the Glis3 locus have been associated with the development of several pathologies including type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this report, we show that Glis3 is significantly downregulated at the transcriptional level in INS1 832/13 cells within hours of being subjected to high glucose concentrations and that diminished expression of Glis3 is at least partly attributable to increased oxidative stress. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockdown of Glis3 indicated that the transcription factor was required to maintain normal levels of both insulin and MafA expression and reduced Glis3 expression was concomitant with an upregulation of β cell disallowed genes. We provide evidence that Glis3 acts similarly to a pioneer factor at the insulin promoter where it permissively remodels the chromatin to allow access to a transcriptional regulatory complex including Pdx1 and MafA. Finally, evidence is presented that Glis3 can positively regulate MafA transcription through its pancreas-specific promoter and that MafA reciprocally regulates Glis3 expression. Collectively, these results suggest that decreased Glis3 expression in β cells exposed to chronic hyperglycemia may contribute significantly to reduced insulin transcription and a loss of β cell identity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sirt6, reactive oxygen species and ferroptosis may participate in the pathogenesis of Diabetic Nephropathy (DN). Exploring the relationship between Sirt6, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis provides new scientific ideas to DN. METHODS Human podocytes were stimulated with 30 mM glucose and 5.5 mM glucose. The mice of db/db group were randomly divided into two groups:12 weeks and 16 weeks. Collect mouse blood and urine specimens and renal cortices for investigations. HE, Masson, PAS and immunohistochemical staining were used to observe pathological changes. Western blot, RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence staining were used to evaluate expression of relevant molecules. CCK8 method was introduced to observe cell viability. The changes of podocyte mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial morphology in each group were determined by JC-1 staining and Mito-Tracker. RESULTS The expression level of Sirt6, Nrf2, SLC7A11, HO1, SOD2 and GPX4 were reduced, while ACSL4 was increased in DN. Blood glucose, BUN, Scr, TG, T-CHO and 24h urine protein were upregulated, while ALB was reduced in diabetic group. The treatment of Ferrostatin-1 significantly improved these changes, which proved ferroptosis was involved in the development of DN. Overexpression of Sirt6 might ameliorate the oxidation irritable reaction and ferroptosis. Sirt6 plasmid transfection increased mitochondrial membrane potential and protected morphology and structure of mitochondria. The application of Sirt6 siRNA could aggravated the damage manifestations. CONCLUSION High glucose stimulation could decrease the antioxidant capacity and increase formation of ROS and lipid peroxidation. Sirt6 might alleviate HG-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, podocyte injury and ferroptosis through regulating Nrf2/GPX4 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can have negative effects on both the pregnancy and perinatal outcomes, as well as the long-term health of the mother and the child. It has been suggested that exposure to air pollution may increase the risk of developing GDM. This study investigated the relationship between exposure to air pollutants with gestational diabetes. METHODS The present study is a retrospective cohort study. We used data from a randomised community trial conducted between September 2016 and January 2019 in Iran. During this period, data on air pollutant levels of five cities investigated in the original study, including 6090 pregnant women, were available. Concentrations of ozone (O3), nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter < 2.5 (PM2.5) or <10 μm (PM10) were obtained from air pollution monitoring stations. Exposure to air pollutants during the three months preceding pregnancy and the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy for each participant was estimated. The odds ratio was calculated based on logistic regression in three adjusted models considering different confounders. Only results that had a p < .05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS None of the logistic regression models showed any statistically significant relationship between the exposure to any of the pollutants and GDM at different time points (before pregnancy, in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy and 12 months in total) (p > .05). Also, none of the adjusted logistic regression models showed any significant association between PM10 exposure and GDM risk at all different time points after adjusting for various confounders (p > .05). CONCLUSIONS This study found no association between GDM risk and exposure to various air pollutants before and during the different trimesters of pregnancy. This result should be interpreted cautiously due to the lack of considering all of the potential confounders.

Abstract
Maintaining insulin homeostasis is critical for cellular and organismal metabolism. In the liver, insulin is degraded by the activity of the insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE). Here, we establish a hepatic regulatory axis for IDE through WDR23-proteostasis. Wdr23KO mice have increased IDE expression, reduced circulating insulin, and defective insulin responses. Genetically engineered human cell models lacking WDR23 also increase IDE expression and display dysregulated phosphorylation of insulin signaling cascade proteins, IRS-1, AKT2, MAPK, FoxO, and mTOR, similar to cells treated with insulin, which can be mitigated by chemical inhibition of IDE. Mechanistically, the cytoprotective transcription factor NRF2, a direct target of WDR23-Cul4 proteostasis, mediates the enhanced transcriptional expression of IDE when WDR23 is ablated. Moreover, an analysis of human genetic variation in WDR23 across a large naturally aging human cohort in the US Health and Retirement Study reveals a significant association of WDR23 with altered hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) levels in older adults, supporting the use of WDR23 as a new molecular determinant of metabolic health in humans.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection in individuals living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH) may affect lipid metabolism and accelerate the progression of chronic hepatitis. Therefore, the identification of risk factors for progressive liver disease is needed. The present study aimed to examine the prevalence and clinical features associated with liver fibrosis in HCV-coinfected HIV patients, including metabolic markers. A total of 105 patients coinfected with HIV and HCV were recruited and liver fibrosis was assessed using the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI). Logistic regression analyses indicated that patients aged >50 years and with a CD4+ cell count <350 cells/µl had an 11.4-times higher (P=0.001) and a 5.7-times higher (P=0.017) risk of liver fibrosis, as determined by FIB-4 score, compared to patients aged ≤40 years and a CD4+ cell count of ≥350 cells/µl, respectively. In addition, patients naïve to HCV treatment or receiving treatment had 5.4- and 12.7-times higher risks for liver fibrosis, as determined by APRI, than those with sustained virologic response (SVR) (P=0.003 and P=0.033, respectively). Univariate analysis indicated lower risks of liver fibrosis, as determined by APRI, in the patients with abnormally high levels of cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) than those with normal levels [odds ratio (OR) 0.3, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.1-0.9, P=0.037; OR 0.4, 95% CI 0.2-0.9, P=0.041; OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.1-0.5, P=0.001] and multivariate analysis suggested only patients with high levels of LDL had a lower risk for liver fibrosis determined by APRI (OR 0.1, 95% CI 0.3-0.8, P=0.029). Consistently, serum levels of cholesterol, HDL and LDL were significantly lower in the patient groups with more advanced fibrosis, evaluated by FIB-4 score and APRI, than those without liver fibrosis and the levels of cholesterol and LDL in the patients achieving SVR were higher than those with no response or not receiving treatment (all P<0.05). In conclusion, the present study identified serum lipid levels as associated factors of hepatic fibrosis, together with age, CD4+ cell count and HCV treatment status, in HCV-coinfected PLWH on long-term suppressive anti-retroviral therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes is highly prevalent worldwide, with an estimated 536 million living with diabetes in 2021, and that number projected to increase to 783 million by 2045. Diabetic bladder dysfunction is thought to affect up to 60%-90% of individuals with diabetes and can significantly impact quality of life. Despite the prevalence of diabetic bladder dysfunction, the exact pathophysiological mechanism, and resulting clinical presentation, remains debated. Our objective was to compare urodynamic parameters between diabetic and nondiabetic women, assessing the impact of various markers of diabetes severity on bladder function. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted on female patients aged 18 and above who underwent urodynamic studies at a single tertiary care university hospital system from 2014 to 2020. Patients were categorized based on diabetes status, and diabetes severity including duration of disease, hemoglobin A1c levels, insulin dependence, and markers of end-organ dysfunction. Urodynamic variables, including compliance, bladder voided efficiency, bladder contractility index, postvoid residual, maximum flow rate, capacity, voided volume, and detrusor overactivity, were assessed by two independent reviewers. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the impact of diabetes and diabetic severity on urodynamic parameters. RESULTS A total of 652 female patients were included in the study, of which, 152 (23.3%) had diabetes, with an average duration of diagnosis of 82.3 months. Diabetic women were older and had higher body mass index compared to nondiabetic women. Diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy were present in 18% and 54.6% of diabetic patients, respectively. Significant differences in urodynamic parameters were observed between diabetic and nondiabetic women, with diabetic women showing higher rates of detrusor overactivity (p = 0.01), particularly associated with increasing BMI (p = 0.03). However, classic markers of diabetes severity including duration, as well as markers of end-organ damage, showed mixed associations with urodynamic changes. CONCLUSIONS Despite the prevalence of diabetic bladder dysfunction and its impact on patient quality of life, the exact mechanisms and clinical presentation remain elusive. Our study highlights the significant differences in urodynamic parameters between diabetic and nondiabetic women, emphasizing the need for further research into the relationship between diabetes and diabetic bladder dysfunction.

Excessive palmitic acid disturbs macrophage α-ketoglutarate/succinate metabolism and causes adipose tissue insulin resistance associated with gestational diabetes mellitus. Free Radic Biol Med 2024; 222:424-436.

Abstract
Abnormal polarization of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) results in low-grade systemic inflammation and insulin resistance (IR), potentially contributing to the development of diabetes. However, the underlying mechanisms that regulate the polarization of ATMs associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remain unclear. Thus, we aimed to determine the effects of abnormal fatty acids on macrophage polarization and development of insulin resistance in GDM. Levels of fatty acids and inflammation were assessed in the serum samples and adipose tissues of patients with GDM. An in vitro cell model treated with palmitic acid was established, and the mechanisms of palmitic acid in regulating macrophage polarization was clarified. The effects of excessive palmitic acid on the regulation of histone methylations and IR were also explored in the high-fat diet induced GDM mice model. We found that pregnancies with GDM were associated with increased levels of serum fatty acids, and inflammation and IR in adipose tissues. Increased palmitic acid could induce mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive ROS levels in macrophages, leading to abnormal cytoplasmic and nuclear metabolism of succinate and α-ketoglutarate (αKG). Specifically, a decreased nuclear αKG/succinate ratio could attenuate the enrichment of H3K27me3 at the promoters of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, leading to cytokine secretion. Importantly, GDM mice treated with GSK-J4, an inhibitor of histone lysine demethylase, were protected from abnormal pro-inflammatory macrophage polarization and excessive production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Our findings highlight the importance of the metabolism of αKG and succinate as transcriptional modulators in regulating the polarization of ATMs and the insulin sensitivity of adipose tissue, ensuring a normal pregnancy. This novel insight sheds new light on gestational fatty acid metabolism and epigenetic alterations associated with GDM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the predominant form of chronic liver disease worldwide. This study was designed to investigate the proportion and characteristics of MAFLD within the general Chinese population and to identify the contributory risk factors for liver fibrosis among MAFLD individuals. METHODS The participants were recruited from a cohort undergoing routine health evaluations at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University between May 2019 and March 2023. The diagnosis of MAFLD was based on the established clinical practice guidelines. The fibrosis-4 index score (FIB-4) was employed to evaluate hepatic fibrosis, with a FIB-4 score of ≥1.3 indicating significant fibrosis. Binary logistic regression analyses were used to determine risk factors associated with significant hepatic fibrosis in MAFLD. RESULTS A total of 22,970 participants who underwent comprehensive medical examinations were included in the analysis. The overall proportion of MAFLD was 28.77% (6608/22,970), with 16.87% (1115/6608) of these patients showing significant fibrosis as assessed using FIB-4. Independent risk factors for significant liver fibrosis in MAFLD patients were male (odds ratio [OR] = 0.676, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.558-0.821), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positivity (OR = 2.611, 95% CI: 1.557-4.379), body mass index ≥23.00 kg/m2 (OR = 0.632, 95% CI: 0.470-0.851), blood pressure ≥130/85 mmHg (OR = 1.885, 95% CI: 1.564-2.272), and plasma glucose ≥5.6 mmol/L (OR = 1.815, 95% CI: 1.507-2.186) (all P <0.001). CONCLUSIONS The proportion of MAFLD in an urban Chinese population is 28.77%. About 16.87% of MAFLD patients presented with significant liver fibrosis.

Circulating extracellular vesicle-derived miR-1299 disrupts hepatic glucose homeostasis by targeting the STAT3/FAM3A axis in gestational diabetes mellitus. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:509.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed structures containing lipids, proteins, and RNAs that play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication. However, the precise mechanism through which circulating EVs disrupt hepatic glucose homeostasis in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains unclear. RESULTS Circulating EVs isolated from human plasma were co-cultured with mammalian liver cells to investigate the potential induction of hepatic insulin resistance by GDM-EVs using glucose output assays, Seahorse assays, metabolomics, fluxomics, qRT-PCR, bioinformatics analyses, and luciferase assays. Our findings demonstrated that hepatocytes exposed to GDM-EVs exhibited increased gluconeogenesis, attenuated energy metabolism, and upregulated oxidative stress. Particularly noteworthy was the discovery of miR-1299 as the predominant miRNA in GDM-EVs, which directly targeting the 3'-untranslated regions (UTR) of STAT3. Our experiments involving loss- and gain-of-function revealed that miR-1299 inhibits the insulin signaling pathway by regulating the STAT3/FAM3A axis, resulting in increased insulin resistance through the modulation of mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in hepatocytes. Moreover, experiments conducted in vivo on mice inoculated with GDM-EVs confirmed the development of glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and downregulation of STAT3 and FAM3A. CONCLUSIONS These results provide insights into the role of miR-1299 derived from circulating GDM-EVs in the progression of insulin resistance in hepatic cells via the STAT3/FAM3A axis and downstream metabolic reprogramming.

Investigating the Effectiveness of Electroacupuncture for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy and Exploring the Feasibility of Infrared Thermography as an Efficacy Assessment Tool: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial. J Pain Res 2024; 17:2727-2739. [PMID: 39193463 PMCID: PMC11348982 DOI: 10.2147/jpr.s472648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) affects patients' quality of life significantly. To date, selecting the appropriate treatment remains challenging. While electroacupuncture (EA) has shown promise as an effective adjunct therapy for DPN, and infrared thermography (IRT) has been considered as a potential predictor of treatment efficacy, the evidence for both remains inconclusive. As such, the objectives of this trial are twofold: to ascertain the efficacy of EA for DPN, and to explore the feasibility of IRT as an adjunctive objective tool for efficacy assessment. Methods The study was designed as a randomized, parallel, controlled trial. It spanned over 6 weeks of treatment and an additional 4 weeks of follow-up. 104 eligible participants will be stratified for severity of disease: mild with Toronto clinical scoring system(TCSS) score 6-8, moderate (TCSS score 9-11), and severe (TCSS score 12-19), and each level will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio into a EA group and waiting-list group. The waiting-list group received only the current conventional medication, while the EA group received an additional 12 EA sessions on top of the conventional medication. The primary outcome indicators is nerve conduction velocity (NCV), which will be tested at the baseline and week 6. Total clinical efficiency, TCSS, Clinical symptoms score of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Patient global impression of change(PGIC), Temperature of regions of interest (ROIs), and Physico chemical examination will be used as secondary outcome indicators. In addition, safety assessment will be determined based on adverse events during the trial. Conclusion The expected results of this study will determine whether EA improves efficacy in the treatment of DPN with an acceptable safety profile, and investigating variations in the efficacy of EA across different levels of DPN severity. Furthermore, it will explore the viability of IRT as an objective measure for evaluating treatment effectiveness for DPN. Clinical Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT06054087.

Skin Microvascular Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Using Laser Speckle Contrast Analysis and Association with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4957. [PMID: 39201096 PMCID: PMC11355809 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13164957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2024] [Revised: 08/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: It is established that diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by increased cardiovascular risk associated with subclinical atherosclerosis as well as microvascular alterations. Laser speckle contrast analysis (LASCA) is an innovative, non-invasive method for assessing skin microvascular function. Objectives: We sought to assess skin microvascular function in patients with type 2 DM and matched controls. Methods: Consecutive patients with DM and individuals matched for age, sex and BMI were included in the study. Skin microvascular perfusion was assessed, using LASCA, during baseline, a 5 min occlusion period and a 5 min reperfusion period. Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) was measured as a surrogate marker of macrocirculation. Results: In total, 18 patients with DM and 22 in the control group were enrolled. No statistically significant differences were observed in baseline flux, peak flux and percentage decrease during arterial occlusion. During reperfusion, individuals with DM exhibited a smaller peak magnitude compared to controls (147.0 ± 64.7% vs. 189.4 ± 46.0%, respectively; p < 0.05). Moreover, cIMT was higher in patients with DM compared to controls (0.68 ± 0.09 mm vs. 0.60 ± 0.08 mm, respectively, p < 0.01) and was negatively correlated with skin microvascular reactivity in the univariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis, glucose and office systolic blood pressure levels remained significant predictors of microvascular reactivity. Conclusions: Our study shows that patients with type 2 DM exhibit impaired skin microvascular function compared to controls. Furthermore, glucose levels and blood pressure play a key role in microvascular dysfunction. However, additional studies are needed to address the clinical significance of early microvascular changes in DM.

The newly proposed plasma-glycosylated hemoglobin A1c/High-Density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio serves as a simple and practical indicator for screening metabolic associated fatty liver disease: an observational study based on a physical examination population. BMC Gastroenterol 2024; 24:274. [PMID: 39160462 PMCID: PMC11331873 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-024-03362-0] [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: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycotoxicity and lipotoxicity are key pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). The primary objective of this study is to investigate the association between the newly proposed Plasma-Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio (HbA1c/HDL-C ratio) and the risk of MAFLD. METHODS A study population of 14,251 individuals undergoing health examinations was included. The association between the HbA1c/HDL-C ratio and MAFLD was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. Exploratory analyses were conducted to assess variations in this association across subgroups stratified by gender, age, body mass index (BMI), exercise habits, drinking status, and smoking status. The discriminatory value of the HbA1c/HDL-C ratio and its components for screening MAFLD was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS A total of 1,982 (13.91%) subjects were diagnosed with MAFLD. After adjusting for confounding factors, we found a significant positive association between the HbA1c/HDL-C ratio and MAFLD [odds ratio (OR) 1.34, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.25, 1.44]. No significant differences in this association were observed across all subgroups (All P for interaction > 0.05). Furthermore, through RCS analysis, we observed a nonlinear positive correlation between the HbA1c/HDL-C ratio and MAFLD (P for non-linearity < 0.001), with a potential threshold effect point (approximately 3 for the HbA1c/HDL-C ratio). Beyond this threshold point, the slope of the MAFLD prevalence curve increased rapidly. Additionally, in further ROC analysis, we found that for the identification of MAFLD, the HbA1c/HDL-C ratio was significantly superior to HbA1c and HDL-C, with an area under the curve (AUC) and optimal threshold of 0.81 and 4.08, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the newly proposed HbA1c/HDL-C ratio serves as a simple and practical indicator for assessing MAFLD, exhibiting well-discriminatory performance in screening for MAFLD.

Abstract
CONTEXT Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) is associated with an increased risk of fragility fracture despite normal areal bone mineral density (BMD). The contribution of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PN) to volumetric BMD (vBMD) and bone microarchitecture in T2D is not explored. OBJECTIVE To assess vBMD and microarchitectural properties of bone using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in patients of T2D with or without PN. DESIGN This is a cross-sectional study of patients of T2D divided into two groups [patients with T2D without PN (Group A) and T2D with PN (Group B)]. All patients underwent clinical examination, biochemical evaluation, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and HR-pQCT of the radius and tibia. RESULTS A total of 296 patients were included in the study [Group A (n = 98), Group B (n = 198)]. HR-pQCT demonstrated a significant difference in total vBMD[mg/cm3] at tibia (291.6 ± 61.8 vs. 268.2 ± 63.0; p-0.003); cortical vBMD[mg/cm3] at tibia [912.5 (863.3, 962.4) vs. 853.8 (795.3, 913.2) p-0.000], among groups A and B respectively. Among the microarchitecture parameters, there was a significant difference in cortical porosity at the tibia (2.5% ±1.7% vs. 3%±1.7%; p-0.004), trabecular number[mm-1] at the tibia [1.080 (0.896, 1.237) vs. 1.140 (0.983, 1.286), p-0.045] and trabecular thickness[mm] at the radius [0.228 (0.217, 0.247) Vs. 0.238 (0.224, 0.253); p-0.006], among groups A and B respectively. CONCLUSION Despite comparable areal BMD, T2D patients with PN have diminished vBMD and deteriorated skeletal microarchitecture, compared to those without PN.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of individual, joint and fluctuating exposure to air pollution (PM2.5, BC, NO3-, NH4+, OM, SO42-, PM10, NO2, SO2, O3) on glucose metabolisms among prediabetes, and simultaneously explored the modifying effect of lifestyle. We conducted a longitudinal study among prediabetes during 2018-2022. Exposure windows within 60-days moving averages and their variabilities were calculated. FBG, insulin, HOMA-IR, HOMA-B, triglyceride glucose index (TyG), glucose insulin ratio (GI) and allostatic load of glucose homeostasis system (AL-GHS) was included. Linear mixed-effects model and BKMR were adopted to investigate the individual and overall effects, respectively. We also explored the preventive role of lifestyle. Individual air pollutant was associated with increased FBG, insulin, HOMA-IR, HOMA-B, TyG, and decreased GI. People with FBG ≥6.1 mmol/L were more susceptible. Air pollutants mixture were only associated with increased HOMA-B, and constituents have the highest group-PIP. Air pollutants variation also exert harmful effect. We observed similar diabetic effect on AL-GHS. Finally, the diabetic effect of air pollutants disappeared if participants adopt a favorable lifestyle. Our findings highlighted the importance of comprehensively assessing multiple air pollutants and their variations, focusing on metabolic health status in the early prevention of T2D, and adopting healthy lifestyle to mitigate such harmful effect.

Abstract
PURPOSE Myo-inositol (MI) is an insulin-sensitizing dietary supplement, enhancing the transfer of glucose into the cell. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is characterized by abnormal glucose tolerance, which is associated with elevated insulin resistance. The present study aimed to assess the effect of MI supplementation during pregnancy on the incidence of GDM. METHODS We performed a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial. A cohort of 200 pregnant women at 11-13+6 weeks of gestation were randomly assigned in two groups: MI group (n = 100) and control group (n = 100). The MI group received MI and folic acid (4000 mg MI and 400 mcg folic acid daily), while the control group received folic acid alone (400 mcg folic acid daily) until 26-28 weeks of gestation, when the 75 g Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) was performed for the diagnosis of GDM. Clinical and metabolic outcomes were assessed. RESULTS The incidence of GDM was significantly higher in the MI group (14.9%) compared to the control group (28.5%) (P = 0.024). Women treated with MI had significantly lower OGTT glucose values, than those not treated with MI (P < 0.001). The insulin resistance as assessed by HOMA-IR was significantly lower in the MI group versus control (P = 0.045). Furthermore, MI group had significantly higher insulin sensitivity as measured by the Matsuda Index, compared to the control group (P = 0.037). CONCLUSION MI supplementation seems to be an effective option to improve the glycemic control of pregnant women and prevent the onset of GDM. TRIAL REGISTRATION ISRCTN registry: ISRCTN16142533.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Examining the distribution of biochemical and haematological tests in different age groups of rural population is necessary to ensure that health care facilities are equipped to address the prevalent health conditions and manage age-related illness effectively. Hence, this study is aimed at seeing the distributions of blood biochemical and haematological parameters in rural population. METHODS This cross-sectional study investigated the distribution of 26 different haematological and biochemical parameters in longitudinal cohort study (Srinivaspura Aging, NeuoSenescence and COGnition - SANSCOG), from the villages of Srinivaspura, Kolar district, India. A total of 2592 participants (1240 males and 1352 females), aged ≥45 years who are cognitively healthy were included for the analysis. Mean, 2.5th, 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 95th and 97.5th percentiles were calculated for the entire sample. Additionally, median and percentiles were determined for both gender and age categories (45-54, 55-64, 65-74, and ≥75 years). RESULTS We observed the distinct distributions of various haematological and biochemical parameters, with elevated levels of glycaemic, lipid, liver, and thyroid parameters. CONCLUSION Findings revealed the notable variations from the established reference ranges, indicating the potential undiagnosed cases and highlighting the gaps in health awareness and health seeking behaviour.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the external validity of Finnish diabetes risk score (FINDRISC) and Latin American FINDRISC (LAFINDRISC) for undiagnosed dysglycemia in hospital health care workers. METHODS We carried out a cross-sectional study on health workers without a prior history of diabetes mellitus (DM). Undiagnosed dysglycemia (prediabetes or diabetes mellitus) was defined using fasting glucose and two-hour oral glucose tolerance test. LAFINDRISC is an adapted version of FINDRISC with different waist circumference cut-off points. We calculated the area under the receptor operational characteristic curve (AUROC) and explored the best cut-off point. RESULTS We included 549 participants in the analysis. The frequency of undiagnosed dysglycemia was 17.8%. The AUROC of LAFINDRISC and FINDRISC were 71.5% and 69.2%; p = 0.007, respectively. The optimal cut-off for undiagnosed dysglycemiaaccording to Index Youden was ≥ 11 in LAFINDRISC (Sensitivity: 78.6%; Specificity: 51.7%) and ≥12 in FINDRISC (Sensitivity: 70.4%; Specificity: 53.9%). CONCLUSION The discriminative capacity of both questionnaires is good for the diagnosis of dysglycemia in the healthcare personnel of the María Auxiliadora hospital. The LAFINDRISC presented a small statistical difference, nontheless clinically similar, since there was no difference by age or sex. Further studies in the general population are required to validate these results.

BMC Med 2024; 22:317. [PMID: 39113030 PMCID: PMC11304565 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-024-03536-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) serves as a novel composite lipid indicator for atherosclerosis. However, the association between NHHR and mortality in patients with diabetes or prediabetes remains unclear. Consequently, the objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between NHHR and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in US adults with diabetes or prediabetes. METHODS This study included 12,578 adult participants with diabetes or prediabetes from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2018). Mortality outcomes were ascertained by linking to the National Death Index (NDI) record up to December 31, 2019. We employed a weighted multivariate Cox proportional hazards model and restricted cubic splines to assess the associations between NHHR and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. A segmented Cox proportional hazards model was used for evaluating threshold effects. Furthermore, a competing risks analysis was performed to explore the relationship between NHHR and cardiovascular mortality. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 8.08 years, 2403 participants encountered all-cause mortality, with 662 of them specifically succumbing to cardiovascular mortality. The restricted cubic splines revealed a U-shaped association between NHHR and all-cause mortality, while an L-shaped association was observed for cardiovascular mortality. The analysis of threshold effects revealed that the inflection points for NHHR and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were 2.72 and 2.83, respectively. Specifically, when the baseline NHHR was below the inflection points, a negative correlation was observed between NHHR and both all-cause mortality (HR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.68-0.85) and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.57-0.85). Conversely, when the baseline NHHR exceeded the inflection points, a positive correlation was observed between NHHR and both all-cause mortality (HR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.06-1.16) and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.00-1.16). CONCLUSIONS Among US adults with diabetes or prediabetes, a U-shaped association was observed between NHHR and all-cause mortality, whereas an L-shaped association was identified with cardiovascular mortality. The inflection points for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were 2.72 and 2.83, respectively.

Abstract
AIMS To compare the time in range (TIR) obtained from self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) with that obtained from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and explore the relationship of TIR with microalbuminuria outcome, HOMA-IR and HOMA-β test. METHODS We recruited 400 patients with type 2 diabetes to carry out blood glucose monitoring by both SMBG and CGM for 3 consecutive days. TIR, TAR, TBR and other blood glucose variation indices were calculated respectively through the glucose data achieved from SMBG and CGM. The HOMA-IR and HOMA-β test was evaluated by an oral glucose tolerance test. Urinary microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio completed in the laboratory. RESULTS The median (25 %, 75 % quartile) of TIRCGM and TIRSMBG were 74.94(44.90, 88.04) and 70.83(46.88, 87.50) respectively, and there was no significant difference, p = 0.489; For every 1 % increase in TIRCGM, the risk of microalbuminuria decreased by 1.6 % (95%CI:0.973, 0.995, p = 0.006) and for every 1 % increase in TIRSMBG, the risk of microalbuminuria decreased by 1.3 % (95%CI:0.975, 0.999, p = 0.033). Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed an independent positive correlation between TIR (including TIRCGM and TIRSBMG) and LnDI30 and LnDI120 levels (p = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS The TIR calculated by SMBG was highly consistent with that reported by CGM and was significantly associated with the risk of microalbuminuria and the HOMA-β. Higher TIR quartiles were associated with lower incidence of microalbuminuria as well as higher lever of HOMA-β. For patients with limited CGM application, SMBG-derived TIR may be an alternative to CGM-derived TIR, to assess blood glucose control.

Abstract
Diabetes is a common chronic metabolic disease with a wide range of clinical symptoms and consequences and one of the main causes of death. For the management of diabetes, painless and continuous interstitial fluid (ISF) glucose monitoring is ideal. Here, we demonstrate continuous diabetes monitoring using an integrated microneedle (MN) biosensor with an emergency alert system. MNs are a novel technique in the field of biomedical engineering because of their ability to analyze bioinformation with minimal invasion. In this work we developed a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) based MN glucose sensor. The device was produced by the 3D printing technique, microfabrication, electrodeposition, and enzyme immobilization step. The in vitro test for the glucose MN sensor showed a linear range from 1.5 to 14 mM with a sensitivity of 1.51 μA mM-1, limit of detection (LOD) of 0.35 mM and good selectivity. Highly repeatable sensing is observed with good reproducibility. The interference-free detection of glucose in the presence of physiologically relevant concentrations of ascorbic acid, uric acid, and mannose is demonstrated, along with the operational stability of the array. After resolving the biofouling consequences linked to on-body sensing, this MN platform would be appealing for minimally invasive electrochemical glucose monitoring. An alert is sent to confidants via email or SMS when the values are abnormal. The application is also able to display the recorded values in the form of a graph to help determine the state of health of the user over a period of time. It can be concluded that continuous monitoring and an emergency alert system are important for keeping an eye on diabetic patients and can send alert in case of an abnormal situation of the patient.

Abstract
To study retinal and choriocapillaris (CC) alterations using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in long-term type 1 diabetic (DM1) patients without diabetic retinopathy (DR). Seventy-eight eyes from 78 well-controlled DM1 patients diagnosed at least 15 years prior and 130 eyes of 130 healthy subjects were included in a cross-sectional descriptive study. Six eyes were excluded from the DM1 group. OCTA with Deep Range Imaging (DRI)-Triton swept source (SS)-OCT was performed. Statistically significant differences were found in all areas of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP), with lower values in DM1 patients. Differences were noted in all quadrants of the deep capillary plexus (DCP) except for the central area. Significant changes in CC blood flow were only found in the center. The foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and diameters in the SCP were significantly different, while the DCP FAZ area was similar in both groups. Disease duration and microalbuminuria correlated negatively with some SCP areas and positively with FAZ values. Anatomical evaluation revealed microaneurysms in both plexuses, FAZ modifications, and areas lacking blood perfusion. Long-term type 1 diabetic patients without DR display microvascular abnormalities affecting retinal and CC blood perfusion, along with anatomical changes in retinal blood vessels.

Abstract
Visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a reliable indicator of visceral adiposity. However, no stu-dies have evaluated the association between VAI and DKD in US adults with diabetes. Theref-ore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between them and whether VAI is a good pr-edictor of DKD in US adults with diabetes. Our cross-sectional study included 2508 participan-ts with diabetes who were eligible for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2018. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to an-alyze the association between VAI level and DKD. Three models were used to control for pot-ential confounding factors, and subgroup analysis was performed for further verification. A tot-al of 2508 diabetic patients were enrolled, of whom 945 (37.68%) were diagnosed with DKD. Overall, the VAI was 3.36 ± 0.18 in the DKD group and 2.76 ± 0.11 in the control group. VAI was positively correlated with DKD (OR = 1.050, 95% CI 1.049, 1.050) after fully adjusting for co-nfounding factors. Compared with participants in the lowest tertile of VAI, participants in the highest tertile of VAI had a significantly increased risk of DKD by 35.9% (OR = 1.359, 95% CI 1.355, 1.362). Through subgroup analysis, we found that VAI was positively correlated with the occurrence of DKD in all age subgroups, male(OR = 1.043, 95% CI 1.010, 1.080), participants wit-hout cardiovascular disease(OR = 1.038, 95% CI 1.011, 1.069), hypertension (OR = 1.054, 95% CI 1.021, 1.090), unmarried participants (OR = 1.153, 95% CI 1.036, 1.294), PIR < 1.30(OR = 1.049, 95% CI 1.010, 1.094), PIR ≧ 3 (OR = 1.085, 95% CI 1.021, 1.160), BMI ≧ 30 kg/m2 (OR = 1.050, 95% CI 1.016, 1.091), former smokers (OR = 1.060, 95% CI 1.011, 1.117), never exercised (OR = 1.033, 95% CI 1.004, 1.067), non-Hispanic white population (OR = 1.055, 95% CI 1.010, 1.106) and non-Hipanic black population (OR = 1.129, 95% CI 1.033, 1.258). Our results suggest that elevated VAI levels are closely associated with the development of DKD in diabetic patients. VAI may be a simpl-e and cost-effective index to predict the occurrence of DKD. This needs to be verified in furt-her prospective investigations.

Attainment of LDL-cholesterol target in high cardiovascular risk type 1 diabetic French people. DIABETES & METABOLISM 2024:101568. [PMID: 39098658 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabet.2024.101568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
AIMS - As people with type 1 diabetes have increased risk of cardiovascular morbi-mortality, management of cardiovascular risk factors is of crucial importance. We assessed the prevalence and factors associated with LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) target achievement in patients with type 1 diabetes at high and very-high cardiovascular risk. METHODS - In this observational multicenter study, we included hospitalized patients with type 1 diabetes who had a fasting blood lipid analysis at admission. Cardiovascular risk level and LDL-c target values were defined according to ESC/EAS guidelines into force at admission: LDL-c target for very-high risk (VHR) and high risk (HR) patients was 1.4 and 1.8 mmol/l respectively for patients included from September 2019 (2019 guidelines) and 1.8 and 2.6 mmol/l respectively for patients included in 2016-2019 (2016 guidelines). LDL-c target attainment was assessed in HR and VHR patients, and factors associated with attainment were identified with multivariable analysis. RESULTS - We included 85 HR patients (median age 37y [interquartile range: 27;45], 64% females) and 356 VHR patients (49 [35;61] years, 42% females). In HR patients, 7% were treated with statins, and 35.3% achieved the LDL-c target. Increasing age (odds ratio 0.58 [95% confidence interval: 0.38;0.89]), body mass index (0.86 [0.75;0.98]), and HbA1c (0.69 [0.50;0.94]) were independently associated with lower odds of attaining LDL-c target. In VHR patients, 36% were treated with statins, and 17.4% achieved LDL-c target. Statin treatment (2.33 [1.22;4.43]), secondary prevention (2.33 [1.21;4.48]) and chronic renal failure (2.82 [1.42;5.61]) were associated with higher odds of attaining LDL-c target. CONCLUSION - Control of LDL-c is highly insufficient in both HR and VHR patients. Cardiovascular risk evaluation and better control of risk factors may help decrease cardiovascular morbi-mortality in patients with type 1 diabetes. REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03449784.

Association of severity of menstrual dysfunction with cardiometabolic risk markers among women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2024; 103:1606-1614. [PMID: 38715377 PMCID: PMC11266638 DOI: 10.1111/aogs.14863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with a wide range of unfavorable cardiometabolic risk factors, including obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, impaired glucose metabolism, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. Compared with women with regular menstrual cycles, women with a history of irregular menstrual periods have an increased unfavorable cardiometabolic risk. Recently, the association between the severity of oligomenorrhea and hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance has been demonstrated. However, evidence linking the severity of menstrual cyclicity with cardiometabolic risk in PCOS women is scarce. MATERIAL AND METHODS This work was a prospective cross-sectional study. A total of 154 women diagnosed with PCOS by the Rotterdam criteria were recruited from July 2021 to September 2022. PCOS women with eumenorrheic (eumeno group), oligomenorrhea (oligo group), and amenorrhea (ameno group) underwent history and physical examination, gonadal steroid hormone measurement, lipid profile, oral glucose tolerance test, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. RESULTS A trend toward an increase in unfavorable cardiometabolic risk markers including obesity, hypertension, prevalence of insulin resistance, prediabetes, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome was observed in the ameno group (n = 57) as compared with the eumeno (n = 24) or oligo group (n = 73). A higher prevalence of insulin resistance (odds ratio [OR]: 3.02; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-8.81) and prediabetes (OR: 3.94; 95% CI: 1.01-15.40) was observed in the ameno group than in the eumeno group, and a higher proportion of dyslipidemia (OR: 2.44; 95% CI: 1.16-5.15) was observed in the ameno group than in the oligo group in the binary logistic regression analysis after adjusting for confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS PCOS women with amenorrhea show a higher prevalence of insulin resistance, prediabetes, and dyslipidemia compared with those with oligomenorrhea or eumenorrhea. The severity of menstrual dysfunction could be used as a readily obtainable marker for the identification of PCOS women at greatest risk of cardiometabolic diseases.

ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY 2024. [PMID: 39087927 DOI: 10.1002/uog.27719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the capacity of fetal pancreatic size, before standard blood testing for screening and diagnosis, to predict maternal gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of low-risk pregnant women recruited during routine second-trimester fetal anatomical screening at 20-25 weeks' gestation at two ultrasound units in Israel between 2017 and 2020. The predictive performance of fetal pancreatic circumference ≥ 80th and ≥ 90th centiles and glucose challenge test (GCT) was examined for the outcome of GDM. The independent-samples t-test was used to compare mean pancreatic circumference centile between pregnancies with GDM and those without GDM. Diagnostic performance was evaluated with 2 × 2 contingency tables and receiver-operating-characteristics (ROC) curves. RESULTS Overall, 195 women were selected for statistical analysis. Twenty-four (12.3%) women were diagnosed subsequently with GDM. The mean ± SD pancreatic circumference centile was significantly higher in the GDM group compared with the non-GDM group (82.4 ± 14.6 vs 62.8 ± 27.6; P < 0.001). The pancreatic circumference centile was correlated positively with the estimated fetal weight centile (Pearson's coefficient, 0.243; P = 0.001). The 80th centile cut-off for pancreatic circumference had the highest sensitivity (70.8%) and positive predictive value (23.3%) for future maternal GDM, with the best trade-off between sensitivity and specificity achieved at the 75th centile cut-off (sensitivity, 79%; specificity, 60%). The GCT had better specificity (90.2%) and negative predictive value (97.9%) compared with both cut-offs in pancreatic circumference. The area under the ROC curve was higher for pancreatic circumference compared with GCT (0.71 vs 0.64) and only the former was statistically significant (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Fetal pancreatic circumference has a higher positive predictive capacity compared with GCT. Measuring pancreatic circumference can identify pregnancies at high risk for maternal GDM, thereby promoting earlier diagnosis and treatment, decreasing the time period during which the fetus is exposed to high maternal glucose levels and improving infant outcome. © 2024 The Authors.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate and compare the risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes (T2DM) based on the timing of gestational diabetes (GDM) diagnosis during pregnancy. METHODS Retrospective analysis of pregnant individuals with gestational diabetes and post-pregnancy follow up. Data sourced from Meuhedet HMO's computerized laboratory system, cross-tabulated with the Israeli National Diabetes Registry. The cohort was divided into normoglycemic, early GDM (diagnosed by fasting plasma glucose 92-125 mg/dL (5.1-6.9 mM) at < 15 weeks), 2nd trimester GDM (diagnosed at 24-28 weeks), and late GDM (diagnosed after 29 weeks). Statistics included univariate analysis followed by survival analysis. Risk was further analyzed for individuals by obesity status. RESULTS 75,459 entered the analysis: 90 % normoglycemic, 7.9 % early GDM, 1.4 % 2nd trimester GDM, and 0.7 % late GDM. Median post-pregnancy follow-up time was 4.3 (IQR 3.3-5.1). 2nd trimester GDM showed the highest T2DM risk annually after pregnancy. Cox regression analysis, adjusted for confounders, revealed a significantly higher T2DM risk for 2nd-trimester GDM compared to early and late GDM. Late GDM did not confer additional significant T2DM risk. Stratification by obesity status highlighted that early GDM increased the risk of T2DM only in individuals without obesity. CONCLUSIONS GDM diagnosis timing significantly impacts T2DM risk. 2nd trimester GDM carries the highest T2DM risk.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic disease affecting millions worldwide. Insulin therapy is currently the golden standard for treating T1DM; however, it does not restore the normal glycaemic balance entirely, which increases the risk of secondary complications. Beta-cell therapy may be a possible way of curing T1DM and has already shown promising results in the clinic. However, low retention rates, poor cell survival, and limited therapeutic potential are ongoing challenges, thus increasing the need for better cell encapsulation devices. This study aimed to develop a mechanically reinforced vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-delivering encapsulation device suitable for beta cell encapsulation and transplantation. Poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL)/gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)/alginate coaxial nanofibres were produced using electrospinning and embedded in an alginate hydrogel. The encapsulation device was physically and biologically characterised and was found to be suitable for INS-1E beta cell encapsulation, vascularization, and transplantation in terms of its biocompatibility, porosity, swelling ratio and mechanical properties. Lastly, VEGF was incorporated into the hydrogel and the release kinetics and functional studies revealed a sustained release of bioactive VEGF for at least 14 days, making the modified alginate system a promising candidate for improving the beta cell survival after transplantation.

Abstract
Background The functional changes in alpha cells in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) with different residual beta cell functions remain poorly elucidated. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between glucagon secretion and C-peptide levels and to explore the relationship between glucagon response and glucose increment in respond to a secretagogue in a steamed bread meal tolerance test (BMTT) in T1D. Methods The study enrolled 43 adult patients with T1D and 24 healthy control subjects. Patients with T1D who underwent BMTT were divided into two groups based on peak C-peptide levels: C peptide low (CPL; C-peptide < 200 pmol/L; n=14) and high (CPH; C peptide ≥ 200 pmol/L; n=29). Plasma glucose, C-peptide, glucagon levels at 0, 30, 60, 120, and 180 min were measured. The glucagon response to the BMTT was defined by areas under the curve (AUC) as early (AUC0-30), late (AUC30-180), or total (AUC0-180) glucagon. Results Compared to healthy individuals, fasting plasma glucagon was lower and postprandial plasma glucagon level was increased in patients with T1D. Glucagon levels after BMTT between the CPL and CPH group showed significant group by time interaction. Peak glucagon and glucagon at 60-180 min, total and late glucagon response were higher in CPL than CPH group, while fasting glucagon and early glucagon response adjusted for glucose were comparable between CPL and CPH group. The higher late glucagon response and late glucagon response adjusted for glucose were associated with lower peak C-peptide in T1D. The higher late glucagon response and lower peak C-peptide were associated with the higher value of ▵glucose at 180 min. Conclusion Stimulated C-peptide levels affect the paradoxical increase in postprandial glucagon secretion in patients with T1D, especially late glucagon response. The exaggerated postprandial glucagon secretion further stimulates the elevation of postprandial glucose in patients with T1D.

Prenatal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phthalate acid esters and gestational diabetes mellitus: A prospective cohort study. Int J Hyg Environ Health 2024; 261:114419. [PMID: 38968840 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheh.2024.114419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phthalate acid esters (PAHs & PAEs), known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), widely exist in daily life and industrial production. Previous studies have suggested that PAHs & PAEs may modify the intrauterine homeostasis and have adverse effects on fetal development. However, epidemiological evidence on the associations between PAHs & PAEs and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is still limited. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of prenatal PAHs &PAEs exposure on the risk of GDM and hyperglycemia in pregnant women. METHODS The study population was a total of 725 pregnant women from a prospective birth cohort study conducted from December 2019 to December 2021. Blood glucose levels were collected by the hospital information system. Urinary PAHs & PAEs concentrations were determined by gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The Poisson regression in a generalized linear model (GLM), multiple linear regression, quantile-based g-computation method (qgcomp), and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) were applied to explore and verify the individual and overall effects of PAHs & PAEs on glucose homeostasis. Potential confounders were adjusted in all statistical models. RESULTS A total of 179 (24.69%) women were diagnosed with GDM. The Poisson regression suggested that a ln-unit increment of 4-OHPHE (4-hydroxyphenanthrene) (adjusted Risk Ratio (aRR) = 1.13; 1.02-1.26) was associated with the increased GDM risk. Mixed-exposure models showed similar results. We additionally found that MBZP (mono-benzyl phthalate) (aRR = 1.19; 1.02-1.39) was positively related to GDM risk in qgcomp model. Although neither model demonstrated that 2-OHNAP (2-hydroxynaphthalene) and 9-OHFLU (9-hydroxyfluorene) increased the risk of GDM, 2-OHNAP and 9-OHFLU exposure significantly increased blood glucose levels. BKMR model further confirmed that overall effects of PAHs & PAEs were significantly associated with the gestational hyperglycemia and GDM risk. CONCLUSIONS Our study presents that environmental exposure to PAHs & PAEs was positively associated with gestational glucose levels and the risks of developing GDM. In particular, 2-OHNAP, 9-OHFLU, 4-OHPHE and MBZP may serve as important surveillance markers to prevent the development of GDM.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to characterize risk factors and groups at risk among people with diabetes and prediabetes for increased hospital utilization. Electronic health records for all people who visited the emergency department (ED) and had type II diabetes mellitus (PWD) or prediabetes (PWPD) were collected. ED use, hospital admissions, demographics, and clinical characteristics were compared between the groups. Multivariable logistic regression was used to compare the odds of ED high utilization (HU) (3+ visits per year) and hospital admissions between PWD and PWPD with interactions for socioeconomic status, race, marital status, and total comorbidities. PWD had higher mean ED visits per year compared with PWPD (1.5 vs. 1.2) and were more likely to be admitted (57.3% vs. 34.9%). PWD had higher odds of ED HU (2.1 [1.6, 2.7]) and hospital admissions (1.9 [1.6, 2.1]). Among PWD, Black, not married, and those with more than one comorbidity had the highest odds of ED HU. Among PWPD, those of low SES, Black, and divorced had the higher odds of ED HU. Hospital admissions were a risk for PWD and PWPD with increasing comorbidities. Early recognition and identification of prediabetes and clear criteria for diagnosis could reduce ED visits and hospital admissions.

J Diabetes Investig 2024; 15:1084-1093. [PMID: 38568177 PMCID: PMC11292390 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.14205] [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: 01/01/2024] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS Very few cohort studies are available about the relation between remnant cholesterol (RC) and diabetes. Based on a prospective cohort survey, this research aimed at investigating if high RC was related to a future diabetes risk in the Chinese population, as well as to compare the association between RC, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), TG/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and future diabetes risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS 6,700 baseline normoglycemic participants of the REACTION study's Beijing center were recruited in 2011-2012 and followed up in 2015. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to explore the relationship of RC, HDL-C, LDL-C, TC, TG, LDL-C/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, and non-HDL-C and a future diabetes risk. RESULTS After potential confounders were adjusted for, only RC (HR 1.134, 95% CI 1.016-1.267, P = 0.025) was positively related to a future diabetes risk, and only HDL-C (HR 0.728, 95% CI 0.578-0.918, P = 0.007) was negatively related to a future diabetes risk. The rest of the lipid parameters were not related to a future risk of diabetes. Sensitivity and stratification analyses revealed that the relation between RC and future diabetes risk was stable. RC and future diabetes risk were still positively correlated even when the HDL-C was ≥1.04 mmol/L (HR 1.167, 95% CI 1.050-1.297, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS It was RC, but not other lipid parameters, that was independently and positively related to a future risk of diabetes among the Chinese general population. Moreover, the relationship between RC and diabetes risk was stable, even with appropriate levels of HDL-C.

Remnant cholesterol is more positively related to diabetes, prediabetes, and insulin resistance than conventional lipid parameters and lipid ratios: A multicenter, large sample survey. J Diabetes 2024; 16:e13592. [PMID: 39136535 PMCID: PMC11320755 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.13592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Not many large-sample investigations are available that compare the potency of the relationship of remnant cholesterol (RC) and other lipid parameters with diabetes and prediabetes. The goals of our study are to discover the relationship between RC and prediabetes, diabetes, and insulin resistance (IR) and to investigate RC, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non-HDL-C, triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and TG/HDL-C, which are the lipid parameters that are most positively related to diabetes, prediabetes, and IR. METHODS This research enrolled 36 684 subjects from China's eight provinces. We employed multiple logistic regression analysis for testing the relationship between lipid parameters and diabetes, prediabetes, and IR. RESULTS After adjusting for potential confounders, and comparing the results with other lipid parameters, the positive relationship between RC and diabetes (odds ratio [OR] 1.417, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.345-1.492), prediabetes (OR 1.555, 95% CI: 1.438-1.628), and IR (OR 1.488, 95% CI: 1.404-1.577) was highest. RC was still related to diabetes, prediabetes, and IR even when TG <2.3 mmol/L (diabetes: OR 1.256, 95% CI: 1.135-1.390; prediabetes: OR 1.503, 95% CI: 1.342-1.684; and IR: OR 1.278, 95% CI: 1.140-1.433), LDL-C <2.6 mmol/L (diabetes: OR 1.306, 95% CI: 1.203-1.418; prediabetes: OR 1.597, 95% CI: 1.418-1.798; and IR: OR 1.552, 95% CI: 1.416-1.701), or HDL-C ≥1 mmol/L (diabetes: OR 1.456, 95% CI: 1.366-1.550; prediabetes: OR 1.553, 95% CI: 1.421-1.697; and IR: OR 1.490, 95% CI: 1.389-1.598). CONCLUSION RC is more positively related to diabetes, prediabetes, and IR than conventional lipids and lipid ratios in the general population, the relationships between RC and diabetes, prediabetes, and IR are stable, even if HDL-C, LDL-C, or TG are at appropriate levels.

JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNAECOLOGY CANADA 2024; 46:102573. [PMID: 38848894 DOI: 10.1016/j.jogc.2024.102573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been increasing globally over recent decades; however, underlying reasons for the increase remain unclear. We analyzed trends in GDM rates and evaluated risk factors associated with the observed trends in Ontario, Canada. METHODS We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study using the Better Outcomes Registry and Network Ontario, linked with the Canadian Institute for Health Information Discharge Abstract Database. All pregnant individuals who had a singleton hospital delivery from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2020 were included. We calculated rates and 95% CIs for GDM by year of delivery and contrasted fiscal year 2019/20 with 2012/13. Temporal trends in GDM were quantified using crude and adjusted risk ratios by modified Poisson regression. We further quantified the temporal increase attributable to changes in maternal characteristics by decomposition analysis. RESULTS Among 1 044 258 pregnant individuals, 82 896 (7.9%) were diagnosed with GDM over the 8 years. GDM rate rose from 6.1 to 10.4 per 100 deliveries between fiscal years 2012/13 and 2019/20. The risk of GDM in 2019/20 was 1.53 times (95% CI 1.50-1.56) higher compared with 2012/13. 27% of the increase in GDM was due to changes in maternal age, 8 BMI, and Asian ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS The GDM rate has been consistently increasing in Ontario, Canada. The contribution of increasing maternal age, pre-pregnancy obesity, and Asian ethnicity to the recent increase in GDM is notable. Further investigation is required to better understand the contributors to increasing GDM.

Petrie JR. Metformin beyond type 2 diabetes: Emerging and potential new indications. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26 Suppl 3:31-41. [PMID: 38965738 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15756] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
Metformin is best known as a foundational therapy for type 2 diabetes but is also used in other contexts in clinical medicine with a number of emerging and potential indications. Many of its beneficial effects may be mediated by modest effects on weight loss and insulin sensitivity, but it has multiple other known mechanisms of action. Current clinical uses beyond type 2 diabetes include: polycystic ovarian syndrome; diabetes in pregnancy/gestational diabetes; prevention of type 2 diabetes in prediabetes; and adjunct therapy in type 1 diabetes. As metformin has been in clinical use for almost 70 years, much of the underpinning evidence for its use in these conditions is, by definition, based on trials conducted before the advent of contemporary evidence-based medicine. As a result, some of the above-established uses are 'off-label' in many regulatory territories and their use varies accordingly in different countries. Going forward, several current 'repurposing' investigational uses of metformin are also being investigated: prevention of cancer (including in Li Fraumeni syndrome), renal protection, Alzheimer's disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and promotion of healthy ageing. Despite the longevity of metformin and its important current roles beyond type 2 diabetes in clinical medicine, it has further potential and much research is ongoing.

Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2024; 105:1585-1599. [PMID: 37875170 DOI: 10.1016/j.apmr.2023.10.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of combined aerobic and resistance exercise on cognition, metabolic health, physical function, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in middle-aged and older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). DATA SOURCE AND STUDY SELECTION Systematic search of CINAHL, Cochrane, EMBASE, Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest Dissertation and Thesis, PsycINFO, Web of Science databases, and gray literature from Google Scholar. Pertinent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were selected. The Protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO CRD42023387336). DATA EXTRACTION The risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool by 2 reviewers independently. Outcome data were extracted in a fixed-effect model if heterogeneity test were not significant and I2≤50%; otherwise, the random-effects model was used. DATA SYNTHESIS Sixteen studies with 2426 participants were included in this review. Combined aerobic and resistance exercise had significant positive effects on cognition (SMD=0.34, 95% CI: 0.13 to 0.55), metabolic health on HbA1c (SMD=-0.35, 95% CI: -0.48 to -0.22) and lipid profile (total cholesterol SMD=-0.20, 95% CI: -0.34 to -0.07; low-density lipoprotein SMD=-0.19, 95% CI: -0.33 to -0.05; high-density lipoprotein SMD=0.25, 95% CI: 0.12 to 0.39; and triglycerides SMD=-0.18, 95% CI: -0.31 to -0.04), physical function on aerobic oxygen uptake (SMD=0.58, 95% CI: 0.21 to 0.95) and body mass index (MD=-1.33, 95% CI: -1.84 to -0.82), and physical HRQoL (MD=4.17, 95% CI: 0.86 to 7.48). Our results showed that clinically important effects on cognition may occur in combining the low-moderate intensity of aerobic exercise and progressive intensity of resistance training, the total duration of the exercise needs to be at least 135 minutes per week, among which, resistance training should be at least 60 minutes. CONCLUSION Combined aerobic and resistance exercise effectively improves cognition, ameliorates metabolic health, enhances physical function, and increases physical HRQoL in middle-aged and older adults with T2DM. More RCTs and longitudinal follow-ups are required to provide future evidence of structured combined aerobic and resistance exercise on other domains of cognition.

Treatment with liraglutide or naltrexone-bupropion in patients with genetic obesity: a real-world study. EClinicalMedicine 2024; 74:102709. [PMID: 39050109 PMCID: PMC11268126 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Rare genetic obesity commonly features early-onset obesity, hyperphagia, and therapy-resistance to lifestyle interventions. Pharmacotherapy is often required to treat hyperphagia and induce weight loss. We describe clinical outcomes of glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue liraglutide or naltrexone-bupropion treatment in adults with molecularly confirmed genetic obesity (MCGO) or highly suspected for genetic obesity without definite diagnosis (HSGO). Methods We conducted a real-world cohort study at the Obesity Center CGG at Erasmus University Center, Rotterdam, Netherlands, between March 19, 2019, and August 14, 2023. All patients with MCGO and HSGO who were treated with either liraglutide or naltrexone-bupropion were included. Liraglutide 3 mg and naltrexone-bupropion were administered according to the manufacturer's protocol. Treatment evaluation occurred short-term, after 12 weeks on maximum or highest-tolerated dose, preceded by the 4-5 week dose escalation phase. Differences in anthropometrics, body composition, metabolic markers, self-reported appetite, eating behaviour, and quality of life (QoL) were evaluated. Findings Ninety-eight adults were included in the analysis: 23 patients with MCGO and 75 patients with HSGO, with median BMI of 42.0 kg/m2 (IQR 38.7-48.2) and 43.7 kg/m2 (IQR 38.0-48.7), respectively. After liraglutide treatment, median weight at evaluation significantly decreased compared to baseline in both groups: -4.7% (IQR -6.0 to -1.5) in patients with MCGO and -5.2% (IQR -8.1 to -3.5) in patients with HSGO. Additionally, improvements were observed in appetite, fat mass, fasting glucose, and HbA1c in both patients with MCGO and with HSGO. Patients with HSGO also reported significant improvements in several domains of QoL and eating behaviour. In patients with MCGO and HSGO treated with naltrexone-bupropion, mean weight at evaluation significantly differed from baseline: -5.2% ± 5.8 in patients with MCGO and -4.4% ± 4.7 in patients with HSGO. Appetite, fat mass, and waist circumference significantly decreased in both groups. Obesity-related comorbidities improved in significant proportions of patients treated with liraglutide or naltrexone-bupropion. Interpretation In conclusion, our short-term findings show potential of liraglutide and naltrexone-bupropion as treatment options for adults with (a clinical phenotype of) genetic obesity. Funding MB, EvdA, and EvR are supported by the Elisabeth Foundation, a non-profit foundation supporting academic obesity research.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with a high fatality rate and a heavy global health care burden. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) exerts positive cardiovascular effects, although the molecular mechanisms are unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to verify whether the cardioprotective effects of GLP-1 are mediated through the regulation of micro-RNA (miRNA) expression. Follow-up assessments were conducted for 116 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) alone (controls) and 123 patients with both T2DM and CAD. After matching, each group comprised 63 patients, and age, body mass index, and serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides (TG), and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) were compared. Subsequently, the expression profiles of four circulating miRNAs (miR-203a-3p, miR-429, miR-205-5p, and miR-203b-5p) were assessed via quantitative reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction in the 63 patients with diabetes and CAD between 6 months (baseline) and 12 months after the initiation of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) therapy. As expected, the metabolic factors were significantly improved after 6 months of treatment with GLP-1R compared with pre-treatment values, and the expression levels of two of the miRNAs (miR-203a-3p and miR-429) decreased from baseline levels in those with diabetes and CAD. The results suggest that the cardiovascular benefits induced by GLP-1R are mediated via suppressed expression of two miRNAs: miR-203a-3p and miR-429.

Abstract
PURPOSE Few studies have investigated the association between smoking and microvascular complications in the Asian population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to investigate the relationship between smoking status and microvascular complications in Korean patients with T2DM. MATERIALS AND METHODS From the Korean National Diabetes Program cohort, we included 2316 Korean male with T2DM who had baseline clinical information available, including their smoking status, and underwent diabetic complication studies. RESULTS Compared to non-smokers, current smokers had higher odds of any-microvascular complications [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.45, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-1.97, p=0.016]. The odds of neuropathy were significantly higher; however, the odds of retinopathy were significantly lower in current smokers than in nonsmokers (all p<0.05). Among those who underwent repeated complication tests after 3 years, the risk of newly developed retinopathy was significantly increased in ex-smokers [aOR 3.77 (95% CI 1.61-8.87), p=0.002]. Within ex-smokers, long smoking duration and smoking cessation within the recent 5 years were associated with an increased risk of newly developed retinopathy (all p<0.05). CONCLUSION Male smokers had higher odds of having overall diabetic microvascular complications, including neuropathy. However, the odds of having retinopathy were significantly lower among current smokers. More attention and research are needed regarding the increased risk of retinopathy development in ex-smokers who have recently stopped smoking after a long history of smoking.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is known as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, there is an absence of preoperative cardiac risk assessment in bariatric surgery candidates and the incidence of CVD among these high-risk patients is still unknown. METHODS A consecutive series of bariatric surgery candidates at two Chinese tertiary hospitals received coronary CT angiography or coronary angiography from 2017 to 2023. Patients were categorized as metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) and metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) based on the presence or absence of MetS. CVD was diagnosed based on the maximum intraluminal stenosis > 1% in any of the segments of the major epicardial coronary arteries. Obstructive CVD was defined as coronary stenosis ≥ 50%. Binary multivariable logistic regression was performed to analyze the association between CVD and metabolic status. The number of principal MetS components was categorized into zero (without glycemic, lipid, and BP components), one (with one of the components), two (with any two components), and three (with all components) to explore their association with CVD. RESULTS A total of 1446 patients were included in the study. The incidence of CVD and obstructive CVD were 31.7% and 9.6%. Compared with MHO patients, MUO patients had a significantly higher incidence of mild (13.7% vs. 6.1%, P < 0.05), moderate (7.4% vs. 0.8%, P < 0.05), and severe CVD (3.1% vs. 0%, P < 0.05). Following complete adjustment, compared with zero or one component, two principal MetS components was found to be associated with a notable increase in the risk of CVD (OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.18-3.58, P < 0.05); three principal MetS components were observed to have a higher risk of CVD and obstructive CVD (OR 2.68, 95% CI 1.56-4.62, P < 0.001; OR 3.93, 95% CI 1.19-12.93, P < 0.05). Each increase in the number of principal MetS components correlated with a 1.47-fold (95% CI 1.20-1.81, P < 0.001) and 1.78-fold (95% CI 1.24-2.55, P < 0.05) higher risk of CVD and obstructive CVD, respectively. CONCLUSION This study reported the incidence of CVD based on multicenter bariatric surgery cohorts. CVD is highly prevalent in patients with obesity, especially in MUO patients. Increased number of principal MetS components will significantly elevate the risk of CVD.

[PMID: 39041707 DOI: 10.1093/glycob/cwae053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Modulation of sialic acids is one of the important pathological consequences of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without the micro- and macrovascular complications. However, the mechanistic, therapeutic and/or diagnostic implications of these observations are uncoordinated and possibly conflicting. This review critically analyses the scientific investigations connecting sialic acids with diabetes mellitus. Generally, variations in the levels and patterns of sialylation, fucosylation and galactosylation were predominant across various tissues and body systems of diabetic patients, but the immune system seemed to be most affected. These might be explored as a basis for differential diagnosis of various diabetic complications. Sialic acids are predominantly elevated in nearly all forms of diabetic conditions, particularly nephropathy and retinopathy, which suggests some diagnostic value but the mechanistic details were not unequivocal from the available data. The plausible mechanistic explanations for the elevated sialic acids are increased desialylation by sialidases, stimulation of hexosamine pathway and synthesis of acute phase proteins as well as oxidative stress. Additionally, sialic acids are also profoundly associated with glucose transport and insulin resistance in human-based studies while animal-based studies revealed that the increased desialylation of insulin receptors by sialidases, especially NEU1, might be the causal link. Interestingly, inhibition of the diabetes-associated NEU1 desialylation was beneficial in diabetes management and might be considered as a therapeutic target. It is hoped that the article will provide an informed basis for future research activities on the exploitation of sialic acids and glycobiology for therapeutic and/or diagnostic purposes against diabetes mellitus.

Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia in Individuals with Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes after Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Prospective Cohort Study. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1671. [PMID: 39200136 PMCID: PMC11351344 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12081671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2024] [Revised: 07/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is an increasingly recognized complication after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). The aim of this study is to investigate potential factors associated with PBH. A cohort of 24 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and body mass index (BMI) ≥40 kg/m2 who underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) was retrospectively investigated for PBH at 12 months. PBH was defined as postprandial glucose at 120 min below 60 mg/dL. Questionnaires based on the Edinburgh hypoglycemia scale were filled out by the participants. Glycemic parameters and gastrointestinal (GI) hormones were also investigated. Based on the questionnaires, five patients presented more than four symptoms that were highly indicative of PBH at 12 months. According to glucose values at 120 min, one patient experienced PBH at 6 months and four patients experienced it at 12 months. Postprandial insulin values at 30 min and 6 months seem to be a strong predictor for PBH (p < 0.001). GLP-1 and glucagon values were not significantly associated with PBH. PBH can affect patients with T2DM after MBS, reaching the edge of hypoglycemia. Postprandial insulin levels at 30 min and 6 months might predict the occurrence of PBH at 12 months, but this requires further validation with a larger sample size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, is highly effective for decreasing weight. Concomitant loss of muscle mass often accompanies weight loss and may have consequences on muscle function. METHODS This is a secondary analysis from the SLIM LIVER (ACTG A5371) study, a single-arm study of semaglutide in people with HIV (PWH) with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disorder (MASLD). Participants received subcutaneous semaglutide for 24 weeks (titrated to 1 mg/week by week 4). Psoas volume and fat fraction were assessed from liver magnetic resonance imaging and physical function by 10-time chair rise test and 4m gait speed. Mean change from baseline to week 24 was estimated with linear regression modeling. RESULTS 51 PWH enrolled; muscle measures were available from 46 participants. The mean age was 50 (standard deviation [SD] 11) years and BMI 35.5 (5.6) kg/m2, 43% were women, 33% Black, and 39% Hispanic/Latino. Psoas muscle volume decreased by 9.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: -13.4, -5.2; p<0.001) over 24 weeks but psoas muscle fat did not significantly change (-0.42%, CI: -1.00, 0.17; p=0.16). Chair rise and gait speed had non-significant improvements of 1.27 seconds (CI: -2.7, 0.10) and 0.05 m/sec (CI: -0.01, 0.10), respectively (both p>0.07). The prevalence of slow gait speed (< 1 m/sec) decreased from 63% to 46% (p=0.029). CONCLUSIONS In PWH receiving low-dose semaglutide for MASLD, despite decreased psoas muscle volume, there was no significant change in physical function. This suggests that function was maintained despite significant loss of muscle concomitant with weight loss.

Abstract
AIMS A bidirectional relationship has been reported between diabetes mellitus and periodontitis. The present study aimed to estimate salivary fructosamine in diabetic and non-diabetic individuals with healthy and diseased periodontium and to measure its changes after non-surgical periodontal therapy. Another aim was to identify the cut-off value of salivary fructosamine to diagnose diabetes mellitus and to correlate it with glycated hemoglobin. METHODS Salivary fructosamine and HbA1c were assessed in periodontally healthy individuals and periodontitis patients (n = 60 in each group). Both groups comprised of equal number of patients with and without diabetes mellitus. Salivary fructosamine estimation was repeated 4 weeks after non-surgical periodontal therapy in periodontitis patients. RESULTS HbA1c and Salivary fructosamine were significantly higher in the periodontally diseased compared to the healthy group. Significantly higher values of these biomarkers were noticed in diabetic patients with periodontitis compared to the non-diabetic group. Periodontal therapy significantly reduced salivary fructosamine in both diabetic and nondiabetic periodontitis patients. A significant positive high correlation was noticed between salivary fructosamine and HbA1c (r = 0.76). The cut-off value of salivary fructosamine was found to be 68 µg/mL with 95% sensitivity, 81.67% specificity, 83.82% positive predictive value, and 94.23% negative predictive value. CONCLUSION Periodontitis can contribute to glycemic control and periodontal therapy can bring about improvement in glycemic status. Salivary fructosamine could be used as an alternate glycemic biomarker and its advantages over HbA1c include simple and non-invasive collection of saliva and it can provide intermediate glycemic status.

Diabetes Mellitus in Non-Functioning Adrenal Incidentalomas: Analysis of the Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (MACS) Impact on Glucose Profile. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1606. [PMID: 39062179 PMCID: PMC11274780 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12071606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Non-functioning adrenal incidentalomas (NFAIs) have been placed in relationship with a higher risk of glucose profile anomalies, while the full-blown typical picture of Cushing's syndrome (CS) and associated secondary (glucocorticoid-induced) diabetes mellitus is not explicitly confirmed in this instance. Our objective was to highlight the most recent data concerning the glucose profile, particularly, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in NFAIs with/without mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). This was a comprehensive review of the literature; the search was conducted according to various combinations of key terms. We included English-published, original studies across a 5-year window of publication time (from January 2020 until 1 April 2024) on PubMed. We excluded case reports, reviews, studies on T1DM or secondary diabetes, and experimental data. We identified 37 studies of various designs (14 retrospective studies as well 13 cross-sectional, 4 cohorts, 3 prospective, and 2 case-control studies) that analysed 17,391 individuals, with a female-to-male ratio of 1.47 (aged between 14 and 96 years). T2DM prevalence in MACS (affecting 10 to 30% of NFAIs) ranged from 12% to 44%. The highest T2DM prevalence in NFAI was 45.2% in one study. MACS versus (non-MACS) NFAIs (n = 16) showed an increased risk of T2DM and even of prediabetes or higher fasting plasma glucose or HbA1c (no unanimous results). T2DM prevalence was analysed in NFAI (N = 1243, female-to-male ratio of 1.11, mean age of 60.42) versus (non-tumour) controls (N = 1548, female-to-male ratio of 0.91, average age of 60.22) amid four studies, and two of them were confirmatory with respect to a higher rate in NFAIs. Four studies included a sub-group of CS compared to NFAI/MACS, and two of them did not confirm an increased rate of glucose profile anomalies in CS versus NFAIs/ACS. The longest period of follow-up with concern to the glycaemic profile was 10.5 years, and one cohort showed a significant increase in the T2DM rate at 17.9% compared to the baseline value of 0.03%. Additionally, inconsistent data from six studies enrolling 1039 individuals that underwent adrenalectomy (N = 674) and conservative management (N = 365) pinpointed the impact of the surgery in NFAIs. The regulation of the glucose metabolism after adrenalectomy versus baseline versus conservative management (n = 3) was improved. To our knowledge, this comprehensive review included one of the largest recent analyses in the field of glucose profile amid the confirmation of MACS/NFAI. In light of the rising incidence of NFAI/AIs due to easier access to imagery scans and endocrine evaluation across the spectrum of modern medicine, it is critical to assess if these patients have an increased frequency of cardio-metabolic disorders that worsen their overall comorbidity and mortality profile, including via the confirmation of T2DM.

Abstract
Basic, translational and clinical research over the past few decades has provided new understanding on the mechanisms by which activation of the receptor of parathyroid hormone (parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R)) regulates bone physiology and pathophysiology. A fundamental change in the field emerged upon the recognition that osteocytes, which are permanent residents of bone and the most abundant cells in bone, are targets of the actions of natural and synthetic ligands of PTH1R (parathyroid hormone and abaloparatide, respectively), and that these cells drive essential actions related to bone remodelling. Among the numerous genes regulated by PTH1R in osteocytes, SOST (which encodes sclerostin, the WNT signalling antagonist and inhibitor of bone formation) has a critical role in bone homeostasis and changes in its expression are associated with several bone pathologies. The bone fragility syndrome induced by diabetes mellitus is accompanied by increased osteocyte apoptosis and changes in the expression of osteocytic genes, including SOST. This Review will discuss advances in our knowledge of the role of osteocytes in PTH1R signalling and the new opportunities to restore bone health in diabetes mellitus by targeting the osteocytic PTH1R-sclerostin axis.

Abstract
Background/Aims : Low educational attainment is a well-established risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in developed areas. However, the association between educational attainment and the risk of NAFLD is less clear in China. Methods : A cross-sectional study including over 200,000 Chinese adults across mainland China was conducted. Information on education level and lifestyle factors were obtained through standard questionnaires, while NAFLD and advanced fibrosis were diagnosed using validated formulas. Outcomes included the risk of NAFLD in the general population and high probability of fibrosis among patients with NAFLD. Logistic regression analysis was employed to estimate the risk of NAFLD and fibrosis across education levels. A causal mediation model was used to explore the potential mediators. Results : Comparing with those receiving primary school education, the multi-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for NAFLD were 1.28 (1.16 to 1.41) for men and 0.94 (0.89 to 0.99) for women with college education after accounting for body mass index. When considering waist circumference, the odds ratios (95% CIs) were 0.94 (0.86 to 1.04) for men and 0.88 (0.80 to 0.97) for women, respectively. The proportions mediated by general and central obesity were 51.00% and 68.04% for men, while for women the proportions were 48.58% and 32.58%, respectively. Furthermore, NAFLD patients with lower educational attainment showed an incremental increased risk of advanced fibrosis in both genders. Conclusions : In China, a low education level was associated with a higher risk of prevalent NAFLD in women, as well as high probability of fibrosis in both genders.

Treatment Satisfaction With Omnipod DASH in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: A Nonblinded 1:1 Randomized Controlled Trial. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2024; 109:1984-1995. [PMID: 38373265 PMCID: PMC11244188 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgae088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
CONTEXT Omnipod DASH Insulin Management System is a tubeless insulin pump that overcomes the physical inconveniences of conventional tubed insulin pump therapy (IPT). OBJECTIVE We compared treatment satisfaction with Omnipod DASH System to usual care (multiple daily injections [MDIs] or tubed IPT) in adults with type 1 diabetes using self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG). METHODS Adults with type 1 diabetes on MDI (n = 40) or IPT (n = 25) from 4 diabetes centers in Australia were randomly assigned in a 1:1 nonblinded manner to Omnipod DASH System (Omnipod group) or continue usual care (Usual Care group) for 12 weeks, followed by a further 12-week extension during which all participants used the device. The primary outcome was treatment satisfaction assessed by change in Diabetes Technology Questionnaire "current" (ΔDTQ-current) score at 12 weeks (study end). Secondary outcomes included ΔDTQ-current following extension and other participant-reported outcomes (PROs) measuring quality of life, burden of disease treatment, and glycemic and device-related outcomes at 12 weeks (study end) and 24 weeks (end extension). RESULTS Treatment satisfaction improved more in the Omnipod group vs the Usual Care group (ΔDTQ-current score of 16.4 [21.2] vs 0.0 [12.8]; P < .001) at study end. Significantly greater improvements in other PROs and glycated hemoglobin A1c were also observed. Improvements in DTQ-current and other PROs comparing study end and end extension were similar. While percentage in time in range change from baseline did not differ at study end (-2.0 [12.7] %), it was significantly greater at end extension (5.6 [10.9] %; P = .016). CONCLUSION The Omnipod DASH System resulted in greater treatment satisfaction at 12 weeks in adults with type 1 diabetes using SMBG that was sustained after 24 weeks of device use without compromising sleep quality and fear of hypoglycemia. Improvements in glycemia were also observed.

[PMID: 38997334 PMCID: PMC11245502 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-67052-3] [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: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The relationship between the triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) index and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, cognition, and brain structure remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate these associations, focusing on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, cognitive measures, and brain imaging data. Eight hundred and fifty-five non-demented participants were included. Linear regression was used to explore associations between the TyG-BMI index and AD pathology, cognition, and brain structure. The association between the TyG-BMI index and AD risk was assessed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models. Longitudinal relationships were assessed using linear mixed-effects models. Mediation analyses were conducted to examine AD pathology's potential mediating role between the TyG-BMI index and cognition as well as brain structure. In the linear regression analyses, higher TyG-BMI levels were associated with increased Aβ42 and decreased Tau, pTau, Tau/Aβ42, pTau/Aβ42, and pTau/Tau. Positive correlations were observed with mini-mental state examination (MMSE), memory (MEM), executive function (EF), and the volumes of the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, and middle temporal regions, while negative correlations were found with Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS). Longitudinally, the TyG-BMI index was inversely associated with ADAS, and positively with MMSE, MEM, EF, hippocampus, entorhinal, and middle temporal. High TyG-BMI levels were correlated with lower AD risk (HR 0.996 [0.994, 0.999]). Mediation analyses revealed AD pathology mediated the association between TyG-BMI index and cognition as well as brain structure. Additionally, the TyG-BMI index could mediate cognitive changes by influencing brain structure. The TyG-BMI index is associated with AD pathology, cognition, and brain structure.

Brígido JA, da Rosa WLDO, Lund RG. Influence of prosthodontic rehabilitation and dietary advice on glycaemic control, nutritional status and oral health-related quality of life of older adults with type 2 diabetes. Gerodontology 2024. [PMID: 38995836 DOI: 10.1111/ger.12777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This prospective clinical study aimed to determine the influence of oral prosthodontic rehabilitation with partial removable dentures and simplified dietary advice on glycaemic control, nutritional status and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of older adults with type 2 diabetes. BACKGROUND Individuals with tooth loss who did not wear complete or partial dentures are more likely to be at nutritional risk, suggesting that using dental prostheses would benefit the re-establishment of an adequate nutritional status and potentially improve quality of life. Nutritional therapy is essential for diabetes prevention, treatment and management, favouring glycaemic control. The literature provides little evidence on the contribution of partial removable dentures to improving diabetes control, nutritional profile and satisfaction in older adults, especially those with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Older individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, aged 60 years or older and needing oral rehabilitation with partial removable dentures were eligible for this prospective study. The primary outcome measure was glycaemic control, measured by glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire and the Mini Nutritional Assessment short-form (MNA-SF) represented secondary outcome measures. These measures were assessed at baseline and 12 months of follow-up after prosthesis delivery, combined with simple dietary advice in pamphlet form. The data were analysed using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs test. RESULTS Forty-four patients who met the inclusion criteria and required treatment with removable partial dentures were selected for this study, which was carried out for a year. During this period, seven participants declined to participate because they moved to another city. Hence, a final sample of 37 participants (16 men and 21 women, average age of 65.8 years, ranging from 60 to 83 years) were included in the study. No laboratory parameter (HbA1c levels) changed significantly during the investigation. The number of older adults at risk of malnutrition was significantly lower at 12 months than at baseline. Furthermore, nutritional status significantly improved 12 months after prosthodontic treatment combined with dietary advice, and the effect sizes were large. OHRQoL significantly improved after prosthodontic therapy combined with dietary advice. CONCLUSIONS Prosthodontic treatment with partial dentures associated with simple dietary advice did not influence glycaemic control but improved the nutritional status and OHRQoL of older adults with type 2 diabetes.
