Abstract
INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes (T2D), the fastest growing pandemic, is typically accompanied by vascular complications. A central hallmark of both T2D and vascular disease is insulin resistance which causes impaired glucose transport and vasoconstriction concomitantly. Those with cardiometabolic disease display greater variation in central hemodynamics and arterial elasticity, both potent predictors of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, which may be exacerbated by concomitant hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia during glucose testing. Thus, elucidating central and arterial responses to glucose testing in those with T2D may identify acute vascular pathophysiologies triggered by oral glucose loading. AIM This study compared hemodynamics and arterial stiffness to an oral glucose challenge (OGC: 50g glucose) between individuals with and without T2D. 21 healthy (48 ± 10 years) and 20 participants with clinically diagnosed T2D and controlled hypertension (52 ± 8 years) were tested. METHODS Hemodynamics and arterial compliance were assessed at baseline, and 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min post-OGC. RESULTS Heart rate increased between 20 and 60 post-OGC in both groups (p < 0.05). Central systolic blood pressure (SBP) decreased in the T2D group between 10 and 50 min post-OGC while central diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased in both groups from 20 to 60 post-OGC. Central SBP decreased in T2D between 10 and 50 min post-OGC and central DBP decreased in both groups between 20 and 60 min post-OGC. Brachial SBP decreased between 10 and 50 min in healthy participants, whereas both groups displayed decreases in brachial DBP between 20 and 60 min post-OGC. Arterial stiffness was unaffected. CONCLUSIONS An OGC alters central and peripheral blood pressure in healthy and T2D participants similarly with no changes in arterial stiffness.

Abstract
Purpose Sales for sugar-sweetened and caffeinated beverages are still rising globally and their consumption has been linked to the development of cardiovascular diseases. However, direct evidence from human interventional studies in response to such beverages is still scarce. Methods Seven young, non-obese men participated in a randomized crossover study where four test drinks [60 g sucrose + 50 mg caffeine, 60 g sucrose + caffeine-placebo, 50 mg caffeine, and caffeine-placebo] were investigated. Each drink was brought to a total volume of 500 mL with water. Continuous and beat-to-beat hemodynamic monitoring was conducted for 30 min baseline and continued for 90 min after the ingestion of each drink. Measurements included blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, index of contractility, and double product. Results Two-factor ANOVA analysis revealed significant treatment-by-time effects for diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, index of contractility, and double product (all p < 0.01). Diastolic blood pressure and total peripheral resistance increased significantly to caffeine-only (all p < 0.05), while sucrose + caffeine-placebo and sucrose + caffeine both decreased resistance responses (all p < 0.05). Cardiac output increased significantly to sucrose + caffeine-placebo and sucrose + caffeine (all p < 0.05), and on trend for heart rate, stroke volume, and index of contractility (all p between 0.05 and 0.09). Conclusion In young, non-obese men, a caffeinated and sucrose-sweetened beverage at concentrations similar to classical commercial Cola products exhibited distinct hemodynamic actions where the presence of sucrose dampened caffeine-induced blood pressure elevations, but at the expense of a tendency to increase cardiac work.

Four features of temporal patterns characterize similarity among individuals and molecules by glucose ingestion in humans. NPJ Syst Biol Appl 2022; 8:6.

Abstract
Oral glucose ingestion induces systemic changes of many blood metabolites related not only to glucose, but also other metabolites such as amino acids and lipids through many blood hormones. However, the detailed temporal changes in the concentrations of comprehensive metabolites and hormones over a long time by oral glucose ingestion are uncharacterized. We measured 83 metabolites and 7 hormones in 20 healthy human subjects in response to glucose ingestion. We characterized temporal patterns of blood molecules by four features: (i) the decomposability into “amplitude” and “rate” components, (ii) the similarity of temporal patterns among individuals, (iii) the relation of molecules over time among individuals, and (iv) the similarity of temporal patterns among molecules. Glucose and glucose metabolism-related hormones indicated a rapid increase, and citrulline and lipids, which indicated a rapid decrease, returned to fasting levels faster than amino acids. Compared to glucose metabolism-related molecules and lipids, amino acids showed similar temporal patterns among individuals. The four features of temporal patterns of blood molecules by oral glucose ingestion characterize the differences among individuals and among molecules.

Cardiovascular responses to a glucose drink in young male individuals with overweight/obesity and mild alterations in glucose metabolism, but without impaired glucose tolerance. Eur J Nutr 2019; 59:2747-2757. [PMID: 31637465 DOI: 10.1007/s00394-019-02120-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2019] [Accepted: 10/11/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Little is known about whether mild aberrations in glucose metabolism, which are seen in overweight/obese subjects (OW/OB) without impaired glucose tolerance, affect regulator control elements for blood pressure homeostasis. METHODS Hence, we measured in age-matched male subjects with normal weight (n = 16; BMI = 22.4 kg m-2) and OW/OB (n = 11; BMI = 28.6 kg m-2) continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, myocardial contractility and baroreflex sensitivity during a 30 min baseline and for 120 min after the ingestion of 75 g glucose dissolved in 300 mL tap water (OGTT). Blood samples for the assessment of plasma glucose and insulin were collected at baseline and every 30 min after the drink and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated. RESULTS At baseline, glucose (5.3 ± 0.4 SD vs 5.0 ± 0.4 mmol L-1; p = 0.01), insulin (7.4 ± 0.4 vs 3.7 ± 2.7 mU L-1; p = 0.02) and HOMA-IR (1.8 ± 1.3 vs 0.8 ± 0.6; p = 0.01) were significantly higher in subjects with OW/OB, but none classified as having impaired glucose tolerance (plasma glucose levels < 7.8 mmol L-1 at 120 min post-OGTT) or hypertension (all < 130/80 mmHg at baseline). In response to the glucose drink, and in comparison to subjects with normal weight, we observed in subjects with OW/OB a trend towards increased plasma insulin levels (+7445 ± 4858 vs. +4968 ± 1924 mU h L-1; p = 0.08), which was not seen for blood glucose (p = 0.59). Moreover, subjects with OW/OB showed impaired peripheral vasodilation, diminished heart rate and myocardial contractility responses but increased peripheral pulse pressure (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Young male subjects with OW/OB, but without glucose intolerance or hypertension, showed attenuated peripheral vasodilation and diminished cardiac responses to a glucose drink.

Abstract
Background and aim Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are globally the leading cause of death and hypertension is a significant risk factor. Treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists has been associated with decreases in blood pressure and CVD risk. Our aim was to investigate the association between endogenous GLP-1 responses to oral glucose and peripheral and central haemodynamic measures in a population at risk of diabetes and CVD. Methods This cross-sectional study included 837 Danish individuals from the ADDITION-PRO cohort (52% men, median (interquartile range) age 65.5 (59.8 to 70.7) years, BMI 26.1 (23.4 to 28.5) kg/m2, without antihypertensive treatment and known diabetes). All participants received an oral glucose tolerance test with measurements of GLP-1 at 0, 30 and 120 min. Aortic stiffness was assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV). The associations between GLP-1 response and central and brachial blood pressure (BP) and PWV were assessed in linear regression models adjusting for age and sex. Results A greater GLP-1 response was associated with lower central systolic and diastolic BP of − 1.17 mmHg (95% confidence interval (CI) − 2.07 to − 0.27 mmHg, P = 0.011) and − 0.74 mmHg (95% CI − 1.29 to − 0.18 mmHg, P = 0.009), respectively, as well as lower brachial systolic and diastolic BP of − 1.27 mmHg (95% CI − 2.20 to − 0.33 mmHg, P = 0.008) and − 1.00 (95% CI − 1.56 to − 0.44 mmHg, P = 0.001), respectively. PWV was not associated with GLP-1 release (P = 0.3). Individuals with the greatest quartile of GLP-1 response had clinically relevant lower BP measures compared to individuals with the lowest quartile of GLP-1 response (central systolic BP: − 4.94 (95% CI − 8.56 to − 1.31) mmHg, central diastolic BP: − 3.05 (95% CI − 5.29 to − 0.80) mmHg, brachial systolic BP: − 5.18 (95% CI − 8.94 to − 1.42) mmHg, and brachial diastolic BP: − 2.96 (95% CI − 5.26 to − 0.67) mmHg). Conclusion Greater glucose-stimulated GLP-1 responses were associated with clinically relevant lower central and peripheral blood pressures, consistent with beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system and reduced risk of CVD and mortality.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are still the primary cause of mortality worldwide, with high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes as major promoters. Over the past 3 decades, almost in parallel with the rise in cardiovascular disease incidence, the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has increased. In this context, SSBs are potential contributors to weight gain and increase the risk for elevations in blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular and metabolic responses to SSBs, in particular on blood pressure, are poorly understood. We discuss and propose potential mechanisms underlying differential effects of sugars on postprandial blood pressure regulation; provide evidence for additional molecular contributors, i.e., fibroblast growth factor 21, towards sugar-induced cardiovascular responses; and discuss potential cardiovascular neutral sugars. Furthermore, we explore whether pre-existing glucose intolerance in humans exacerbates the cardiovascular responses to SSBs, thus potentially aggravating the cardiovascular risk in already-susceptible individuals.
