Chen J, Wang S, Guo F, Gong Y, Chen T, Shaw C, Jiang R, Huang F, Lin D. 1H-NMR-based metabolomics reveals the preventive effect of Enteromorpha prolifera polysaccharides on diabetes in Zucker diabetic fatty rats. Food Sci Nutr 2024; 12:4049-4062. [PMID: 38873458 PMCID: PMC11167149 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.4061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
The primary objective of this investigation was to explore the beneficial impacts of Enteromorpha prolifera polysaccharide (EP) on dysglycemia in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, while also shedding light on its potential mechanism using 1H-NMR-based metabolomics. The results demonstrated a noteworthy reduction in fasting blood glucose (FBG, 46.3%), fasting insulin (50.17%), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c, 44.1%), and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, 59.75%) following EP administration, while the insulin sensitivity index (ISI, 19.6%) and homeostatic model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-β, 2.5-fold) were significantly increased. These findings indicate that EP enhances β-cell function, increases insulin sensitivity, and improves insulin resistance caused by diabetes. Moreover, EP significantly reduced serum lipid levels, suggesting improvement of dyslipidemia. Through the analysis of serum metabolomics, 17 metabolites were found to be altered in diabetic rats, 14 of which were upregulated and 3 of which were downregulated. Notably, the administration of EP successfully reversed the abnormal levels of 9 out of the 17 metabolites. Pathway analysis further revealed that EP treatment partially restored metabolic dysfunction, with notable effects observed in valine, leucine, and isoleucine metabolism; aminoacyl-transfer RNA (tRNA) biosynthesis; and ketone body metabolism. These findings collectively indicate the potential therapeutic efficacy of EP in preventing glycemic abnormalities and improving insulin resistance. Thus, EP holds promise as a valuable treatment option for individuals with diabetes.

Abstract
Owing to the increasing prevalence of diabetic mellitus, diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is presently the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease worldwide. Early identification and disease interception is of paramount clinical importance for DKD management. However, current diagnostic, disease monitoring and prognostic tools are not satisfactory, due to their low sensitivity, low specificity, or invasiveness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is noninvasive and offers a host of contrast mechanisms that are sensitive to pathophysiological changes and risk factors associated with DKD. MRI tissue characterization involves structural and functional information including renal morphology (kidney volume (TKV) and parenchyma thickness using T1- or T2-weighted MRI), renal microstructure (diffusion weighted imaging, DWI), renal tissue oxygenation (blood oxygenation level dependent MRI, BOLD), renal hemodynamics (arterial spin labeling and phase contrast MRI), fibrosis (DWI) and abdominal or perirenal fat fraction (Dixon MRI). Recent (pre)clinical studies demonstrated the feasibility and potential value of DKD evaluation with MRI. Recognizing this opportunity, this review outlines key concepts and current trends in renal MRI technology for furthering our understanding of the mechanisms underlying DKD and for supplementing clinical decision-making in DKD. Progress in preclinical MRI of DKD is surveyed, and challenges for clinical translation of renal MRI are discussed. Future directions of DKD assessment and renal tissue characterization with (multi)parametric MRI are explored. Opportunities for discovery and clinical break-through are discussed including biological validation of the MRI findings, large-scale population studies, standardization of DKD protocols, the synergistic connection with data science to advance comprehensive texture analysis, and the development of smart and automatic data analysis and data visualization tools to further the concepts of virtual biopsy and personalized DKD precision medicine. We hope that this review will convey this vision and inspire the reader to become pioneers in noninvasive assessment and management of DKD with MRI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a significant healthcare burden worldwide that substantially increases the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular events. To reduce the prevalence of DKD, extensive research is being conducted to determine the risk factors and consequently implement early interventions. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are more likely to be obese. Abdominal adiposity is associated with a greater risk of kidney damage than general obesity. Abdominal adipose tissue can be divided into different fat depots according to the location and function, including visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), perirenal adipose tissue (PAT), and renal sinus adipose tissue (RSAT), which can be accurately measured by radiology techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Abdominal fat depots may affect the development of DKD through different mechanisms, and radiologic abdominal adipose characteristics may serve as imaging indicators of DKD risk. This review will first describe the CT/MRI-based assessment of abdominal adipose depots and subsequently describe the current studies on abdominal adipose tissue and DKD development, as well as the underlying mechanisms in patients of T2DM with DKD.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aim to study the preoperative and intraoperative factors and compare against specific outcomes in patients undergoing transperitoneal laparoscopic donor nephrectomy and see if we could find what were the predictive factors for these outcomes. METHODS This is a prospective cohort study done in a single high-volume transplant center. 153 kidney donors were evaluated over a period of 1 year. The preoperative factors such as age, gender, smoking status, obesity, visceral obesity, perinephric fat thickness, number of vessels, anatomic abnormalities, comorbidities, and side of kidney and intraoperative factors such as lay of colon on the kidney, height of splenic or hepatic flexure of colon, loaded or unloaded colon, and sticky mesenteric fat were compared against specific outcomes such as duration of surgery, duration of hospital stay, postoperative paralytic ileus, and postoperative wound complications. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression models were used to study the variables of interest against the various outcomes. There were three positive risk factors for increased hospital stay, which were perinephric fat thickness and height of splenic or hepatic flexure of colon and smoking history. There was one positive risk factor for postoperative paralytic ileus which is lay of colon with relation to kidney and there was one positive risk factor for postoperative wound complication which was visceral fat area. CONCLUSION The predictive factors for adverse postoperative outcomes after transperitoneal laparoscopic donor nephrectomy were perinephric fat thickness, height of splenic or hepatic flexure, smoking status, lay or redundancy of colon with relation to kidney and visceral fat area.

Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2023; 16:1953-1965. [PMID: 37405319 PMCID: PMC10315154 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s415477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Recent advances in perirenal adipose tissue (PAT) highlighted that PAT might involve in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory and dysfunctional metabolic diseases. This study assessed the association between perirenal fat thickness (PrFT) and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MALFD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods This study comprised 867 eligible participants with T2DM. Trained reviewers collected anthropometric and biochemical measurements. The diagnosis of MAFLD was based on the latest international expert consensus statement. PrFT and fatty liver were evaluated by computed tomography. The visceral fat area (VFA) and subcutaneous fat area (SFA) were measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis. The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score (NFS) and fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index were used to assess progressive liver fibrosis in MAFLD. Results Overall, the prevalence of MAFLD was 62.3% in T2DM. The PrFT in the MAFLD group was statistically increased than in the non-MAFLD group (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that PrFT was significantly correlated with dysfunctional metabolic factors like body mass index, waist circumference, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, uric acid, and insulin resistance. Multiple regression analysis revealed that PrFT was positively correlated with NFS (β=0.146, P<0.001) and FIB-4 (β=0.082, P=0.025) in the MAFLD. In contrast, PrFT was negatively correlated with CTL-S (β=-0.188, P<0.001). Furthermore, PrFT was also significantly associated with MAFLD independent of VFA and SFA, the OR (95% CI) was 1.279 (1.191-1.374). Meanwhile, PrFT also had a good identifying value for MAFLD as VFA. The area under the curve (95% CI) value of PrFT identifying MAFLD was 0.782 (0.751-0.812). The optimal cut-off value of PrFT was 12.6mm, with a sensitivity of 77.8% and specificity of 70.8%. Conclusion PrFT was independently associated with MAFLD, NFS, and FIB-4 and showed a similar identifying value for MAFLD as VFA, which suggested that PrFT can be used as an alternative index to VFA.

Abstract
Pre-metabolic syndrome (pre-MetS) may represent the best transition phase to start treatments aimed at reducing cardiometabolic risk factors of MetS. In this study, we investigated the effects of the marine microalga Tisochrysis lutea F&M-M36 (T. lutea) on cardiometabolic components of pre-MetS and its underlying mechanisms. Rats were fed a standard (5% fat) or a high-fat diet (20% fat) supplemented or not with 5% of T. lutea or fenofibrate (100 mg/Kg) for 3 months. Like fenofibrate, T. lutea decreased blood triglycerides (p < 0.01) and glucose levels (p < 0.01), increased fecal lipid excretion (p < 0.05) and adiponectin (p < 0.001) without affecting weight gain. Unlike fenofibrate, T. lutea did not increase liver weight and steatosis, reduced renal fat (p < 0.05), diastolic (p < 0.05) and mean arterial pressure (p < 0.05). In visceral adipose tissue (VAT), T. lutea, but not fenofibrate, increased the β3-adrenergic receptor (β3ADR) (p < 0.05) and Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1) (p < 0.001) while both induced glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) protein expression (p < 0.001) and decreased interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1β gene expression (p < 0.05). Pathway analysis on VAT whole-gene expression profiles showed that T. lutea up-regulated energy-metabolism-related genes and down-regulated inflammatory and autophagy pathways. The multitarget activity of T. lutea suggests that this microalga could be useful in mitigating risk factors of MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is an important risk factor for hyperuricemia. We aimed to explore the relationship between perirenal fat thickness (PrFT) and paranephric fat thickness (PnFT) and serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS This was a cross-sectional study involving 257 patients with T2DM recruited from Beijing Luhe Hospital from September 2019 to May 2020. The basic and clinical information such as age, gender, duration of diabetes was collected through the medical records. All patients underwent a physical examination including height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, systolic blood pressures and diastolic blood pressure. The venous blood and urine samples were collected to measure SUA, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and glycosylated hemoglobin. PrFT and PnFT were measured via ultrasonography. Pearson correlation test and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the association between PrFT and PnFT and SUA. RESULTS We found that PrFT and PnFT increased according to the tertiles of SUA level (P = 0.001 and P = 0.009, respectively). In addition, the PrFT and PnFT were positively associated with SUA level (r = 0.25, P < 0.001, r = 0.23, P < 0.001, respectively). Moreover, this association was stronger in males, non-obesity patients and patients with normal renal function. In the multivariate analysis, the PrFT was independently associated with SUA level after adjusting confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS The PrFT was independently associated with SUA level in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Visceral obesity is independently associated with hypovitaminosis D. Perirenal fat is a visceral fat type active in performing endocrine functions. However, the relationship between perirenal fat thickness (PrFT) and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between serum 25(OH)D and PrFT in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) in the community. METHODS From May to September 2020, 332 MS subjects in Qinfengyuan and Dongfang communities in Taiyuan City, China were enrolled in an MS survey. All the participants completed the questionnaire survey and physical examination, and their fasting blood samples were collected for biochemical examination. Abdominal ultrasonography was performed to measure the perirenal fat thickness. RESULTS The mean serum 25(OH)D level for the 332 MS subjects was 13.5 ng/mL, the proportions of vitamin D deficiency [serum 25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL] and insufficiency [serum 25(OH)D = 20-29.9 ng/mL] were 60.8% (202) and 24.4% (81), respectively. Among the hypovitaminosis D [serum 25(OH)D < 30 ng/mL] subjects, the prevalence of abdominal obesity (waist circumference ≥ 90cm for men and ≥ 80cm for women) is 61.1%. Pearson correlation analysis showed that lg25(OH)D was significantly and negatively associated with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (W), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), uric acid (UA)) and PrFT (all P<0.05), and positively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that PrFT and HOMA-IR were independently correlated with 25(OH)D. CONCLUSION In screening MS patients, approximately 85% of the community MS patients in Taiyuan had hypovitaminosis D; in which 3/5 is abdominal obesity. PrFT is an independent risk factor for hypovitaminosis D in MS subjects.
