Nutrients 2024; 16:1553. [PMID: 38892487 PMCID: PMC11174494 DOI: 10.3390/nu16111553] [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: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
To evaluate perinatal outcomes and risk factors for large for gestational age (LGA; birth weight over 90 percentile) in gestational diabetes diagnosed before 24 gestational weeks and treated with diet therapy alone until delivery (Diet Early gestational diabetes mellitus (Diet Early GDM)), we assessed the maternal characteristics and perinatal outcomes of patients with early GDM (n = 309) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT; n = 309) at Keio University Hospital. The gestational weight gain (GWG) expected at 40 weeks was significantly lower in the Diet Early GDM group than in the NGT group. The Diet Early GDM group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of low birth weight (<2500 g) and higher Apgar score at 5 min than the NGT group. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the pre-pregnancy body mass index and GWG expected at 40 weeks were significantly associated with LGA for Diet Early GDM. No differences were observed in random plasma glucose levels in the first trimester, 75 g oral glucose tolerance test values, and initial increase or subsequent decrease between the two groups. Dietary early GDM did not exhibit a worse prognosis than NGT. To prevent LGA, it might be important to control maternal body weight not only during pregnancy but also before conception.

Abstract
AIMS The study aimed to explore the potential causal link between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia (PE) using a bidirectional mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. MATERIALS We conducted a bidirectional MR analysis to investigate the causal relationship between GDM and PE. Data from public genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for GDM and PE were obtained from the FinnGen consortium. Various MR methods were employed, including inverse-variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, and sensitivity analyses. Additionally, a knowledge-based approach identified genes underlying this potential connection. RESULTS The IVW method revealed a lack of significant association between GDM and PE (OR: 1.04, 95 % CI: 0.96-1.14; p = 0.275). Conversely, IVW analysis indicated a causal connection from PE to GDM (OR: 1.14, 95 % CI: 1.06-1.23; p < 0.001). Molecular pathway analysis identified 20 key genes, including ASAP2, central to the PE-GDM relationship. Tissue enrichment analysis showed pertinent gene expression in significant tissues. Moreover, lower ASAP2 expression was detected in PE patients' placentas. CONCLUSIONS Our bidirectional MR analysis offers evidence supporting a causal link between PE and GDM, elucidating their interconnected pathogenesis. Genetic and knowledge-based insights facilitate a deeper comprehension of these complex pregnancy complications.

Dietary intervention in gestational diabetes: a qualitative study of the acceptability and feasibility of a novel whole-diet intervention in healthcare professionals. Br J Nutr 2024; 131:219-228. [PMID: 37642175 PMCID: PMC10751936 DOI: 10.1017/s0007114523001666] [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: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
Gestational diabetes is treated with medical nutrition therapy, delivered by healthcare professionals; however, the optimal diet for affected women is unknown. Randomised controlled trials, such as the DiGest (Dietary Intervention in Gestational Diabetes) trial, will address this knowledge gap, but the acceptability of whole-diet interventions in pregnancy is unclear. Whole-diet approaches reduce bias but require high levels of participant commitment and long intervention periods to generate meaningful clinical outcomes. We aimed to assess healthcare professionals' views on the acceptability of the DiGest dietbox intervention for women with gestational diabetes and to identify any barriers to adherence which could be addressed to support good recruitment and retention to the DiGest trial. Female healthcare professionals (n 16) were randomly allocated to receive a DiGest dietbox containing 1200 or 2000 kcal/d including at least one weeks' food. A semi-structured interview was conducted to explore participants' experience of the intervention. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically using NVivo software. Based on the findings of qualitative interviews, modifications were made to the dietboxes. Participants found the dietboxes convenient and enjoyed the variety and taste of the meals. Factors which facilitated adherence included participants having a good understanding of study aims and sufficient organisational skills to facilitate weekly meal planning in advance. Barriers to adherence included peer pressure during social occasions and feelings of deprivation or hunger (affecting both standard and reduced calorie groups). Healthcare professionals considered random allocation to a whole-diet replacement intervention to be acceptable and feasible in a clinical environment and offered benefits to participants including convenience.

Abstract
In glucose-deprived conditions, ketone bodies are produced by the liver mitochondria, through the catabolism of fatty acids, and are used peripherally, as an alternative energy source. Ketones are produced in the body under normal conditions, including during pregnancy and the neonatal period, when following a ketogenic diet (KD), fasting, or exercising. Additionally, ketone synthesis is also augmented under pathological conditions, including cases of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), alcoholism, and several metabolic disorders. Nonetheless, diet is the main regulator of total body ketone concentrations. The KDs are mimicking the fasting state, altering the default metabolism towards the use of ketones as the primary fuel source. Recently, KD has gained recognition as a medical nutrition therapy for a plethora of metabolic conditions, including obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM). The present review aims to discuss the role of ketones, KDs, ketonemia, and ketonuria in DM, presenting all the available new evidence in a comprehensive manner.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The origin recognition complex 1 (ORC1) is a large subunit of the origin recognition complex and acts as the master subunit of the precoding complex. OBJECTIVE To explore potential function and clinical significance of ORC1 in cancers. METHODS The expression level of ORC1 in different types of tumor tissues and matched normal tissues were detected by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and validated by datasets from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. The association between ORC1 expression and infiltration levels of immune cell was analyzed. ORC1 and its co-expression genes were subjected to enrichment analysis to explore potential mechanisms in cancers, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. Finally, the expression of ORC1 in tumor tissue and adjacent tissue was verified by immunohistochemistry (IHC). RESULTS ORC1 was highly expressed in the majority of tumors, and the expression level of ORC1 was associated with the pathological stages of ACC, LUAD, OV and SKCM. ORC1 was closely related with poor prognosis in ACC, LIHC, PAAD, READ and THCA. ORC1 in ACC and KICH was positively correlated with the infiltration level of immune cells while it was negatively correlated with the infiltration level of immune cells in THYM. Co-expression network analysis showed that CDCA3, GSG2, KIF2C, NCAPH and PLK1 were positively correlated with ORC1 in cancer, and enrichment analysis showed a correlation with cytosol, ATP binding and cell division. The expression of ORC1 in UCEC and KICH was higher than that in the adjacent tissues. CONCLUSION ORC1 over-expressed in most tumors and could be severed as a novel biomarker for diagnosis. This study revealed that ORC1 might inhibit tumor immunity and might be a potential therapeutic target in cancers.

Abstract
The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) nutrition checklist is a tool for everyday antenatal clinical practice, easy to use by most healthcare professionals, aiming to initiate a conversation regarding gestational weight gain (GWG) and nutrition and identify women who might require further assessment. The present cross-sectional study aimed to apply the FIGO nutrition checklist to pregnant women attending routine antenatal care and identify nutritional risk factors. Pregnant women (n = 200) were recruited from the outpatient pregnancy clinics of two hospitals in Thessaloniki and completed the checklist. The FIGO-diet quality score and the FIGO-nutritional risk score (NRS) were calculated. The results revealed that 99% of the women exhibited at least one nutritional risk factor based on the checklist. The median FIGO diet quality score of the sample was 4.0 (3.0-5.0), with 95% of the participants responding negatively to at least one question, indicating the need for improving diet quality. Improved diet quality was noted in cases of hyperemesis gravidarum and among those receiving vitamin D supplements. A large percentage of the participants (36%) exhibited five or more nutritional risk factors, as indicated by a total FIGO-NRS below 5. Women with low middle-upper arm circumference, indicative of protein-energy malnutrition (20.6% of the sample), exhibited more nutritional risk factors compared with the rest. On the other hand, being in the third trimester of pregnancy was associated with lower nutritional risk and, subsequently, better diet quality.

Effect of Exercise on the Resting Metabolic Rate and Substrate Utilization in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Results of a Pilot Study. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12100998. [PMID: 36295900 PMCID: PMC9611075 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12100998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Regular physical activity during pregnancy has a positive effect on the mother and fetus. However, there is scarce data regarding the effect of exercise in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The aim of the present parallel, non-randomized, open-label, pilot, clinical study was to examine the effect of two exercise programs on the resting metabolic rate (RMR) and substrate utilization in pregnancies complicated by GDM, compared with usual care (advice for the performance of exercise). Forty-three pregnant women diagnosed with GDM between the 24th and 28th gestational week, volunteered to participate. Three groups were formed: Usual care (n = 17), Walking (n = 14), and Mixed Exercise (n = 12). The Usual care group was given advice on maintaining habitual daily activities without any additional exercise. The Walking group exercised regularly by walking, in addition to the habitual daily activities. Finally, the Mixed Exercise group participated in a program combining aerobics and strength exercises. Training intensity was monitored continuously using lightweight, wearable monitoring devices. The Walking and Mixed Exercise groups participated in the training programs after being diagnosed with GDM and maintained them until the last week of gestation. RMR and substrate utilization were analyzed using indirect calorimetry for all participants twice: between 27th and 28th gestational week and as close as possible before delivery. No differences were observed between groups regarding body composition, age, and medical or obstetrical parameters before or after the exercise programs. RMR was increased after the completion of the exercise interventions in both the Walking (p = 0.001) and the Mixed Exercise arms (p = 0.002). In contrast, substrate utilization remained indifferent. In conclusion, regular exercise of moderate intensity (either walking, or a combination of aerobic and strength training) increases RMR in women with GDM compared to the lack of systematic exercise. However, based on the present, pilot data, these exercise regimes do not appear to alter resting substrate utilization.

Abstract
PURPOSE This literature review is aimed at examining the benefits of lifestyle modifications in preventing recurrent gestational diabetes (GDM). Worldwide GDM affects approximately 16.2% of all pregnancies with significant maternal, fetal and neonatal complications. Almost two thirds of pregnant women with GDM will develop type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the years following pregnancy. The proportion of women affected by GDM is on the rise and reflects increasing trends in T2DM as well as adult and childhood obesity. METHODS Using predefined subject headings, we searched for relevant articles from the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases. RESULTS For high-risk women lifestyle modifications, such as dietary and exercise changes, are the mainstay of treatment to reduce negative outcomes for both women and their pregnancies. This includes reducing the incidence of recurrent GDM and future T2DM by intervening during pregnancy and in the postnatal period. CONCLUSION This review provides an overview of the literature to date, discusses different targeted approaches and how these interventions can optimise their benefits, and where further research is required.
