ObjectiveTo determine whether patients with prediabetes can be accurately and easily identified in clinical settings using a predictive clinical and laboratory model.MethodsThis retrospective study examined demographic and laboratory data from patients who had undergone 2-hour glucose testing for suspected prediabetes or diabetes between 2000 and 2004. Patients who met the diagnostic criteria for diabetes mellitus were excluded. Prediabetes was defined as a fasting glucose concentration ≥ 100 mg/dL and ≤ 125 mg/dL or a 2-hour postprandial glucose concentration ≥ 140 mg/dL and < 200 mg/dL. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to identify calculated or measured clinical and laboratory attributes that predict the presence of prediabetes, including fasting insulin quartiles, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index.ResultsOf 965 patients, 287 (29.7%) had prediabetes. The study population primarily consisted of white, obese, female patients. A multivariate model revealed that compared with the referent lowest quartile of fasting insulin (m = 4.9 [± SD] ± 1.2 mIU/mL), subsequent insulin quartiles increased the likelihood of identifying prediabetes (quartile 2: m = 8.0 ± 0.8 mIU/mL, odds ratio [OR] = 2.076, confidence interval [CI] = 1.241-3.273; quartile 3: m = 12.2 ± 1.7 mIU/mL, OR = 3.151, CI = 1.981-5.015; quartile 4: m = 25.9 ± 12.4 mIU/mL, OR = 5.035, CI = 3.122-8.122). Older age and increased diastolic blood pressure also contributed modestly to this model. Further analysis using the area under the curve revealed that at a fasting insulin level > 9.0 mIU/mL, prediabetes would be correctly identified in 80% of affected patients. A second model revealed that increased HOMA-IR index (OR = 1.303, CI = 1.205-1.410) and older age (OR = 1.037, CI = 1.024-1.05) predicted prediabetes.ConclusionsThe most robust model, which used fasting insulin levels, may provide the most utility as a clinical tool because the highest quartiles suggest significantly greater likelihood of identifying prediabetes.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of physiologic doses of levothyroxine replacement on the lipoprotein profile in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH).MethodsIn a prospective, double-blind, placebo- controlled study, we enrolled 120 patients—mostly, but not exclusively, premenopausal women—with SCH. Patients were randomly assigned to either a levothyroxine- treated group (n = 60) or a placebo (control) group (n = 60). Total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) were measured before and 52 weeks after assignment to either group.ResultsIn the levothyroxine-treated group, the lipoprotein mean values before and after the 52-week study were as follows: TC, 5.05 ± 0.98 mmol/L versus 4.74 ± 0.87 mmol/L (P < .0001); LDL-C, 3.30 ± 0.90 mmol/L versus 2.89 ± 0.59 mmol/L (P < .01); TG, 1.18 ± 0.71 mmol/L versus 0.95 ± 0.53 mmol/L (P < .002); and HDL-C, 1.20 ± 0.33 mmol/L versus 1.19 ± 0.32 mmol/L (P = .29). In the control group, TC, HDL-C, and TG values remained unchanged after 52 weeks in comparison with baseline, but LDL-C mean values increased from 2.79 ± 0.60 mmol/L to 3.11 ± 0.77 mmol/L, a change that was statistically significant (P < .001). At the end of the study, the lipid profile changes between levothyroxine- treated and control groups were compared. Total cholesterol and LDL-C were significantly lower in the levothyroxine-receiving group (P < .029 and P < .0001, respectively) in comparison with the control group. The difference did not reach statistical significance for TG and HDL-C values.ConclusionIn premenopausal women, SCH has a negative effect on the lipoprotein profile and may translate into a sizable cardiovascular risk if left untreated.

IntroductionThere is currently a disproportionate increase in childhood and adolescent obesity worldwide, together with other disorders involving substantial cardiometabolic risk in adulthood, such as alterations in carbohydrate metabolism.ObjectiveTo establish the prevalence of prediabetes, defined as impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) after an oral glucose tolerance test, and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2) in a pediatric population with severe obesity. Additionally, we aimed to assess clinical metabolic differences between prediabetic obese patients and obese subjects without prediabetes.Material and methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out in children and adolescents with severe obesity (>97th percentile). The variables studied were age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, fasting plasma glucose and oral glucose tolerance test, insulinemia, insulin resistance assessed by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure.ResultsA total of 133 patients were included: 67 boys (50.4%) and 66 girls (49.6%), with a mean age of 12.17±3.27 years. Fourteen patients (10.52%) had prediabetes (10 IFG, 3 IGT, 1 IFG+IGT): 7 girls and 8 boys, with a mean age of 13.2±3.3 years. One patient had DM2 (0.75%). Patients with prediabetes had significantly higher concentrations of fasting glucose (98±10.76 vs 88.53±6.3 mg/d; p=0.001), insulinemia (35.38±14.22 vs 22.95±14.30 μU/ml; p=0.009) and HOMA index (8.10±3.24 vs 4.89±3.27; p=0.004) than patients without impaired carbohydrate metabolism. These patients also had higher values of HbA1c, triglycerides, blood pressure and HDL concentrations, although differences were not statistically significant.ConclusionsThe prevalence of prediabetes (IFG/IGT) in children with severe obesity was high (10.52%). These patients should therefore be investigated to establish early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Obese patients with prediabetes have significantly higher levels of insulin and insulin resistance than individuals without impaired carbohydrate metabolism.  相似文献

BackgroundImpaired zinc metabolism is prominent in chronic disorders including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Zinc has the potential to affect glucose homeostasis in animals and humans and hence impact the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus.MethodsA systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised placebo controlled trials was conducted to determine the effect of zinc supplementation on fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, serum insulin and serum zinc concentrations. Relevant studies for inclusion were identified from a literature search of electronic databases up to July 2011.ResultsFourteen reports (n = 3978 subjects) were included in the meta-analysis. In the overall analysis, a small but statistically significant reduction in fasting glucose concentrations was observed (?0.19 ± 0.08 mmol/L, P = 0.013) after zinc supplementation. HbA1c tended to decrease in zinc-supplemented individuals (?0.64 ± 0.36%, P = 0.072). No significant effect was observed for serum insulin concentrations. Plasma zinc concentrations increased significantly following supplementation (+4.03 ± 0.81 μmol/L, P = 0.001). In secondary analyses of participants with chronic metabolic disease (types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and obesity), zinc supplementation produced a greater reduction in glucose concentrations (?0.49 ± 0.11 mmol/L, P = 0.001) compared to the effect that was observed in healthy participants.ConclusionThe significant albeit modest reduction in glucose concentrations and tendency for a decrease in HbA1c following zinc supplementation suggest that zinc may contribute to the management of hyperglycemia in individuals with chronic metabolic disease.  相似文献

The natural product piperlonguminine (GBN) which is extracted from Piper longum Linn., has high antihyperlipidaemic activity and low toxicity. However, the content of natural GBN in P. longum (0.20–0.25%) is low, and it is not easy to prepare enough sample of natural GBN for further studies, such as large-scale animal experiments. Therefore, in the present study, we tested and confirmed the antihyperlipidaemic activity of chemically synthesised GBN in rats for the first time. The results of the antihyperlipidaemic assay in vivo showed that synthetic GBN had significant lipid-lowering activities. Synthetic GBN not only inhibited body weight gain (66.3 ± 22.50 g vs. 83.9 ± 19.95 g) but also significantly decreased total cholesterol (TC, 9.67 ± 3.32 mmol/L vs. 22.26 ± 5.84 mmol/L), total glycerol (TG, 1.47 ± 0.08 mmol/L vs. 2.86 ± 0.75 mmol/L), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, 3.57 ± 1.15 mmol/L vs. 5.44 ± 1.42 mmol/L) while increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, 1.31 ± 0.56 mmol/L vs. 0.68 ± 0.20 mmol/L) in the serum of rats fed a high-fat diet.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo assess the effect of the bile acid sequestrant colesevelam hydrochloride in patients with hypercholesterolemia and prediabetes.MethodsIn this 16-week, randomized, double-blind study, adults with untreated prediabetes (2-hour postoral glucose tolerance test [OGTT] glucose ≥ 140 to 199 mg/dL, fasting plasma glucose [FPG] ≥ 110 to 125 mg/ dL, or both), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥ 100 mg/dL, and triglycerides < 500 mg/dL were randomly assigned to receive colesevelam (3.75 g/d) or placebo. The primary end point was percent change in LDL-C from baseline to week 16 with last observation carried forward. Secondary end points included change in FPG, hemoglobin A1c (A1C), and 2-hour post-OGTT glucose level from baseline to week 16 and attainment of LDL-C and FPG targets.ResultsIn total, 216 patients were randomized (colesevelam, 108; placebo, 108). In comparison with placebo, colesevelam significantly reduced LDL-C (mean treatment difference, -15.6%), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (-9.1%), total cholesterol (-7.2%), apolipoprotein B (-8.1%) (P < .001 for all the foregoing), FPG (median, -2.0 mg/dL; P = .02), and A1C (mean, -0.10%; P = .02). Colesevelam did not significantly change 2-hour post-OGTT glucose (-1.9 mg/dL; P = .75) or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (-0.5%; P = .80). In addition, colesevelam significantly increased triglyceride levels relative to placebo (median, 14.3%; P < .001). The proportion of patients achieving target levels with colesevelam versus placebo, respectively, was as follows: LDL-C < 100 mg/dL (29% versus 11%; P < .001), A1C < 6.0% (37% versus 25%; P = .05), FPG < 110 mg/dL (48% versus 56%; P = .97), and normalization of glucose (FPG < 100 mg/dL [40% versus 23%; P = .06]). Colesevelam had a weight-neutral effect and was well tolerated.ConclusionColesevelam is an option for managing the lipid profile and normalizing glucose levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia and prediabetes. Further study is warranted to determine whether colesevelam slows or prevents progression of prediabetes to type 2 diabetes. (Endocr Pract. 2010;16:617-628)  相似文献

ObjectiveTo assess whether subclinical hypothyroidism is associated to elevations in serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.Patients and methodsFrom a total population of 1,112 patients with type 2 diabetes screened for thyroid dysfunction (thyrotropin measurement), a group of 325 patients with normal thyroid function and another group of 29 patients with subclinical hypothyroidism were selected. No patient had known dyslipidemia or was taking lipid lowering medication.ResultsPatients with subclinical hypothyroidism had serum levels of total cholesterol (4.88 ± 0.74 mmol/L), HDL cholesterol (1.37 ± 0.34 mmol/L), LDL cholesterol (2.94 ± 0.58 mmol/L), and triglycerides (1.05 [0.88-1.41] mmol/L) that did not significantly differ from those found in euthyroid patients (4.79 ± 0.83, 1.33 ± 0.36, 2.87 ± 0.76, and 1.11 [0.81-1.43] mmol/L, respectively). Multiple regression analysis showed no association between TSH and serum lipid levels.ConclusionThese results suggest that, in our population, there are no significant differences in serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels between diabetic patients with normal and reduced thyroid function.  相似文献

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk markers in obese adolescents based on diabetes status and race in order to improve risk-reduction intervention strategies.MethodsThis was a retrospective, cross-sectional study of obese adolescents, age 10 to 21 years, who were evaluated at Children’s of Alabama between 2000 and 2012. Subjects were classified by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as having normoglycemia, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).ResultsThere were a total of 491 African American (AA) or Caucasian American (CA) subjects. Body mass index was not different between HbA1c and racial groups. Compared to subjects with normoglycemia or prediabetes, subjects with T2DM had higher levels of total cholesterol (TC) (178.6 ± 43.8 mg/dL vs. 161.5 ± 32.5 mg/dL vs. 162.4 ± 30.6 mg/dL; P < .0001) and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (107.4 ± 39.2 mg/dL vs. 97.0 ± 31.0 mg/dL vs. 97.5 ± 26.9 mg/dL; P = .0073). Compared with AA subjects, CA subjects had lower high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (40.4 ± 10.4 mg/dL vs. 44.3 ± 11.9 mg/dL; P = .0005) and higher non-HDL-C levels (129.6 ± 36.2 mg/dL vs. 122.5 ± 37.5 mg/dL; P = .0490). Of the characteristics studied, HbA1c had the most significant positive association with dyslipidemia and was strongly correlated with both TC (β, 4.21; P < .0001) and non-HDL-C (β, 4.3; P < .0001).ConclusionObese adolescents with T2DM have more abnormal lipoprotein profiles than those with normoglycemia or prediabetes. Obese CA adolescents have more abnormal lipids than obese AA adolescents. HbA1c was the characteristic most highly associated with abnormal lipoprotein profiles in our subjects. Our results show that CVD risk markers in obese adolescents vary by race and HbA1c concentration. (Endocr Pract. 2015;21:165-173)  相似文献

ObjectiveThe prevalence of carbohydrate metabolism disorders in patients who receive total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is not well known. These disorders can affect the treatment, metabolic control, and prognosis of affected patients. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence in noncritically ill patients on TPN of diabetes, prediabetes, and stress hyperglycemia; the factors affecting hyperglycemia during TPN; and the insulin therapy provided and the metabolic control achieved.MethodsWe undertook a prospective multicenter study involving 19 Spanish hospitals. Noncritically ill patients who were prescribed TPN were included, and data were collected on demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables (glycated hemoglobin, C-reactive protein [CRP], capillary blood glucose) as well as insulin treatment.ResultsThe study included 605 patients. Before initiation of TPN, the prevalence of known diabetes was 17.4%, unknown diabetes 4.3%, stress hyperglycemia 7.1%, and prediabetes 27.8%. During TPN therapy, 50.9% of patients had at least one capillary blood glucose of > 180 mg/dL. Predisposing factors were age, levels of CRP and glycated hemoglobin, the presence of diabetes, infectious complications, the number of grams of carbohydrates infused, and the administration of glucose-elevating drugs. Most (71.6%) patients were treated with insulin. The mean capillary blood glucose levels during TPN were: known diabetes (178.6 ± 46.5 mg/dL), unknown diabetes (173.9 ± 51.9), prediabetes (136.0 ± 25.4), stress hyperglycemia (146.0 ± 29.3), and normal (123.2 ± 19.9) (P < .001).ConclusionThe prevalence of carbohydrate metabolism disorders is very high in noncritically ill patients on TPN. These disorders affect insulin treatment and the degree of metabolic control achieved. (Endocr Pract. 2015;21:59-67)  相似文献

Background and objectives1) Nutritional assessment of the diet followed by patients with metabolic syndrome, and 2) biochemical analysis of the oxidation-reduction level in patients with metabolic syndrome.Material and methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in patients with metabolic syndrome in Murcia. Fifty-three patients, 33 with and 20 without (control group) metabolic syndrome, were selected. The intervention consisted of completion of a recall survey and a test to nutritionally assess dietary intake. Anthropometric and laboratory variables, including those related to antioxidant activity, were also tested.ResultsAntioxidant activity was within normal limits in both groups (1.7 ± 0.2 mmol/L in the control group and 1.8 ± 0.1 mmol/L in the metabolic syndrome group) (NS). Superoxide dismutase levels were not significantly different between the groups. Mean glutathione reductase levels (U/L) were higher in the control group as compared to patients with metabolic syndrome (P < .05). As regards oxidative stress biomarkers, mean isoprostane levels were higher in the control group (4.9 ± 6.2 ng/mL) than in metabolic syndrome patients (3.5 ± 3.9 ng/mL) (P < .05). Oxidized LDL values tended to be higher in metabolic syndrome patients (96 ± 23.2 U/L) as compared to the control group (86.2 ± 17.3  U/L), but differences were not significant.ConclusionsThere is a trend to a poorer nutritional and biochemical profile in patients with metabolic syndrome, who also tend to have a greater degree of oxidative stress.  相似文献

Objective: Metformin has an established role in the management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Some patients cannot tolerate it due to associated gastrointestinal adverse events. The present study evaluated the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor sitagliptin as a potential treatment option in metformin-intolerant PCOS.Methods: We conducted a 12-week, prospective, randomized, open-label study with 30 obese metformin-intolerant women with PCOS (age 35.0 ± 7.2 years; body mass index, 36.9 ± 5.5 kg/m2). After metformin withdrawal, they were randomized to lifestyle intervention and sitagliptin 100 mg daily (SITA) or lifestyle intervention alone as controls (CON). All participants underwent anthropometric and endocrine measurements and oral glucose tolerance testing. Model-derived indexes of insulin resistance and beta-cell function were calculated.Results: SITA improved beta-cell function as assessed by the homeostasis model assessment for beta-cell function index (HOMA-B) of 45.9 ± 35.8 (P = .001), modified beta-cell function index (MBCI) of 7.9 ± 7 (P = .002), and quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index (QUICKI) of -0.03 ± 0.03 (P = .002). By contrast, beta-cell function decreased in CON. The between-group differences were significant for HOMA-B (P = 0.001), MBCI (P = .010), and QUICKI (P = .025). The conversion rate to impaired glucose homeostasis was prevented in SITA: 3 of 15 subjects had impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) before and after the study. In CON, none had type 2 diabetes (T2D), and 4 had IGT at the beginning. After 12 weeks, IGT was observed in 2 and T2D in 3 subjects.Conclusion: SITA improved beta-cell function and prevented a conversion to IGT and T2D in metformin-intolerant obese PCOS patients.Abbreviations: BMI = body mass index; DPP-4 = dipeptidyl peptidase-4; DXA = dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; GIP = glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide; GLP-1 = glucagon-like peptide-1; HOMA-B = homeostasis model assessment for beta-cell function; HOMA-IR = homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; IAI = insulin action index; IGT = impaired glucose tolerance; IR = insulin resistance; MBCI = modified beta-cell function index; OGTT = oral glucose tolerance test; QUICKI = quantitative insulin sensitivity check index; PCOS = polycystic ovary syndrome; SHBG = sex hormone–binding globulin; T2D = type 2 diabetes  相似文献

High yielding dairy cows experience a negative energy balance (NEB) early post-partum and it was hypothesized that this may be aggravated under summer heat stress (HS) conditions. In this study, which was performed in Egypt, 20 Holstein cows were followed during summer (n = 10) and winter (n = 10) seasons. All cows were multiparous and kept at the same herd. Blood was sampled from each cow starting 1 week before the expected calving date and then at 1-week intervals until week 6 post-partum. From week 2 to 6 post-partum follicular fluid was collected through transvaginal follicular fluid aspiration at 6 days intervals. Ambient air temperature (AT) and relative humidity (RH) were recorded and temperature–humidity index (THI) was calculated as well. Respiration rate (RR), rectal temperature (RT), and body condition score (BCS) were recorded for each cow at the time of blood sampling. Concentrations of glucose, insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), urea and total cholesterol (TC) were measured in each blood and follicular fluid sample. All the cows showed a significantly higher RR and RT in summer (95.5 ± 1.1 and 39.88 ± 0.06, respectively) than in winter (43.89 ± 0.61 and 38.94 ± 0.07, respectively) (P < 0.001). Body condition score loss during the early post-partum period was higher in summer than in winter (1.1 ± 0.07 vs. 0.85 ± 0.06 point, respectively) (P < 0.001). The average dominant follicle diameter was significantly lower in summer than in winter during the period of negative energy balance (11.6 ± 0.7 mm vs. 15.3 ± 1.2 mm, respectively) (P < 0.01). Under summer heat stress, the concentrations of glucose (2.98 ± 0.07 and 2.19 ± 0.04 mmol/L), IGF-1 (106.7 ± 2.9 and 99.0 ± 3.4 ng/ml) and TC (137.3 ± 5.3 and 62.2 ± 5.1 mg/dl) in blood and FF, respectively, were significantly lower than winter concentrations by (0.17 ± 0.03 mmol/L, P < 0.001 and 0.26 ± 0.06 mmol/L, P < 0.001), (12.3 ± 3.6 ng/ml, P < 0.001 and 9.0 ± 2.7 ng/ml, P < 0.001) and (20.7 ± 1.8 mg/dl, P < 0.001 and 7.3 ± 1.1 mg/dl, P < 0.01), respectively. However, the concentrations of NEFA (0.68 ± 0.14 and 0.22 ± 0.02 mmol/L) and urea (9.27 ± 0.34 and 9.96 ± 0.25 mmol/L) in blood and FF, respectively, were significantly higher in summer compared to winter (0.50 ± 0.08 mmol/L, P < 0.001 and 0.20 ± 0.02 mmol/L, P < 0.001) and (8.77 ± 0.23 mmol/L, P < 0.05 and 8.96 ± 0.29 mmol/L, P < 0.001), respectively, throughout the experimental period. The results of the present study indicate that heat stress early post-partum aggravates NEB in high yielding dairy cows, reduces BCS, dominant follicle diameter and alters the biochemical concentrations in the follicular fluid of the dominant follicle which may result in inferior oocyte and granulosa cell quality and hence poorer fertility.  相似文献

IntroductionLow serum zinc concentrations are associated with adverse outcomes. To explain this phenomenon we aimed to investigate whether low zinc levels are related to immune activation, renal function and coronary artery disease (CAD).MethodsSerum concentrations of zinc and the immune activation markers neopterin and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in 2048 patients derived from the LUdwigshafen RIsk and Cardiovascular Health (LURIC) study, a cohort study among patients referred for coronary angiography.ResultsZinc concentrations did not differ between patients with CAD (mean ± SD: 13.3 ± 2.4 μmol/L) and controls (13.3 ± 2.2 μmol/L; Welch's t test: p = n.s.) but CAD patients had higher neopterin (8.6 ± 7.4 nmol/L) and CRP (9.7 ± 19.6 mg/L) concentrations compared to controls (neopterin: 7.5 ± 4.8 nmol/L, p = 0.0005; CRP: 5.5 ± 10.0 mg/L, p < 0.0001). There was an inverse correlation between serum zinc concentrations and neopterin (Spearman's rank correlation: rs = ?0.222) and CRP (rs = ?0.166; both p < 0.0001) concentrations.ConclusionsOur results indicate increased inflammatory processes in patients with low zinc levels. Further studies should clarify whether inflammation related processes such as renal wasting contribute to zinc deficiency and underlie the adverse health consequences of low serum zinc levels.  相似文献

AimTo assess the effect of moderate regular aerobic physical activity not associated to body weight changes on insulin resistance and the associated metabolic changes in general population.Sujects and methodsA cross-sectional, observational study in an adult population (n=101 sujects aged 30-70 years) with no personal history of disease and with stable weight in the three months prior to the study. The group with regular exercise performed 30-60 minutes of moderate regular physical exercise 5 days per week (7.5-15 hours MET per week), while a control group performed no regular physical excersice and had a sedentary lifestyle. Subjects were age- and sex-matched. Lipids, lipoproteins, and HOMA index were measured using standard methods.ResultsThe group with regular physical activity consisted of 48 subjects (21 male/27 female), while the group with no regular physical activity included 53 subjects (31 male/22 female). No significant differences were found between the groups in age, sex, BMI, waist circunference, and blood presure. Significant differences were found between the groups in fasting serum triglyceride, HDL-C, and apoB levels. Fasting plasma insulin levels (12.1 ± 4.13 vs 14.9 ± 4.8 mU/L, P= .004) and HOMA index (2.8 ± 1.1 vs 3.5±4.1, P= .001) were significantly lower in the group with regular physical activity as compared to the sedentary group. Prevalence rates of metabolic syndrome were 20.7% and 45.8% (P=.01) in the regular physical activity and sedentary groups respectively.ConclusionModerate regular physical activity is associated to higher insulin sensitivity, an improved lipid profile, and a decrease in components of metabolic syndrome with no change in weight or BMI.  相似文献

AimsThis study was to determine the effects of zinc plus arachidonic acid (ZA) treatment on the insulin action in the specific ZA target organs using hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp method.Main methods18 Sprague–Dawley rats weighing ~ 130 g were divided into 3 groups of 6 rats and treated them with 1) normal rat chow, 2) high fructose (60.0%) diet only, or 3) the same fructose diet plus drinking water containing 10 mg zinc plus 50 mg arachidonic acid (AA)/L. In a separate study, male Wistar rats weighing ~ 250 g were fed normal rat chow (n = 4) or high fat (66.5%) diet with drinking water containing zero (n = 9) or 10 mg AA plus 20 mg zinc /L (n = 9). After 4 week treatment, insulin action was assessed using the hyperinsulinemic eguglycemic clamp technique.Key findingsHigh fructose feeding impaired suppression of hepatic glucose output by insulin compared to controls during the clamp procedure (4.39 vs. 2.35 mg/kg/min; p < 0.05). However, ZA treatment in high fructose-fed rats showed a significant improvement of hepatic insulin sensitivity compared to non-treatment controls (4.39 vs. 2.18 mg/kg/min; p < 0.05). Glucose infusion rates in Wistar rats maintained on a high fat diet (HFD) were significantly lower compared to control rats (22.8 ± 1.3 vs. 31.9 ± 1.4 mg/kg/min; p < 0.05). ZA treatment significantly improved (~ 43%) peripheral tissue insulin sensitivity in HFD fed animals (26.7 ± 1.3 [n = 9] vs. 22.8 ± 1.3 mg/kg/min; p < 0.05).SignificanceThese data demonstrate that ZA treatment is effective in improving glucose utilization in hyperglycemic rats receiving either a high-fructose or a high-fat diet.  相似文献

IntroductionCurrent successful AGC (Accurate Glycemic Control) protocols require extra clinical effort and are impractical in less acute wards where patients are still susceptible to stress-induced hyperglycemia. Long-acting insulin Glargine has the potential to be used in a low effort controller. However, potential variability in efficacy and length of action prevent direct in-hospital use in an AGC framework for less acute wards.MethodClinically validated virtual trials based on data from stable ICU patients from the SPRINT cohort who would be transferred to such an approach are used to develop a 24-h AGC protocol robust to different Glargine potencies (1.0×, 1.5× and 2.0× regular insulin) and initial dose sizes (dose = total insulin over prior 12, 18 and 24 h). Glycemic control in this period is provided only by varying nutritional inputs. Performance is assessed as %BG in the 4.0–8.0 mmol/L band and safety by %BG < 4.0 mmol/L.ResultsThe final protocol consisted of Glargine bolus size equal to insulin over the previous 18 h. Compared to SPRINT there was a 6.9–9.5% absolute decrease in mild hypoglycemia (%BG < 4.0 mmol/L) and up to a 6.2% increase in %BG between 4.0 and 8.0 mmol/L. When the efficacy is known (1.5× assumed) there were reductions of: 27% BG measurements, 59% insulin boluses, 67% nutrition changes, and 6.3% absolute in mild hypoglycemia.ConclusionBased on current understanding of Glargine behaviour, a robust protocol for a 24–48 clinical trial has been designed to safely investigate possible differences in efficacy and kinetics of Glargine in a critically ill population. This protocol is a first step towards developing a Glargine-based protocol for less acute wards. Ensuring robustness to variability in Glargine efficacy directly affects the performance and safety that can be obtained.  相似文献

ObjectiveSelf-adjustment of insulin dose is commonly practiced in Western patients with type 2 diabetes but is usually not performed in Asian patients. This multinational, 24-week, randomized study compared patient-led with physician-led titration of once-daily insulin glargine in Asian patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes who were on 2 oral glucose-lowering agents.MethodsPatient-led (n = 275) or physician-led (n = 277) subjects followed the same dose-titration algorithm guided by self-monitored fasting blood glucose (FBG; target, 110 mg/dL [6.1 mmol/L]). The primary endpoint was change in mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at week 24 in the patient-led versus physician-led titration groups.ResultsPatient-led titration resulted in a significantly higher drop in HbA1c value at 24 weeks when compared with physician-led titration (− 1.40% vs. − 1.25%; mean difference, − 0.15; 95% confidence interval, − 0.29 to 0.00; P = .043). Mean decrease in FBG was greatest in the patient-led group (− 2.85 mmol/L vs. − 2.48 mmol/L; P = .001). The improvements in HbA1c and FBG were consistent across countries, with similar improvements in treatment satisfaction in both groups. Mean daily insulin dose was higher in the patient-led group (28.9 units vs. 22.2 units; P < .001). Target HbA1c of < 7.0% without severe hypoglycemia was achieved in 40.0% and 32.9% in the patient-led and physician-led groups, respectively (P = .086). Severe hypoglycemia was not different in the 2 groups (0.7%), with an increase in nocturnal and symptomatic hypoglycemia in the patient-led arm.ConclusionPatient-led insulin glargine titration achieved near-target blood glucose levels in Asian patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes who were on 2 oral glucose-lowering drugs, demonstrating that Asian patients can self-uptitrate insulin dose effectively when guided.

ObjectivesZinc may play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D), because it is involved in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the role of zinc in the etiology of T2D has been poorly investigated. This study was conducted to study the association of serum zinc on T2D risk in middle-aged and older Finnish men.MethodsThis was a 20-year prospective follow-up study on 2220 Finnish men from the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study (KIHD) who were 42 to 60 years old at baseline in 1984–1989. The main outcome was incident T2D. Serum zinc, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum insulin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and, in a subset of 751 participants, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1), were measured. Also, the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) was used to quantify insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), beta-cell function (HOMA-β) and insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IS).ResultsAt baseline, serum zinc was associated with higher BMI, serum insulin, HOMA-IR, HOMA-β and IGFBP-1 and lower HOMA-IS. During the average follow-up of 19.3 years, 416 men developed T2D. Men in the highest quartile of serum zinc had 60% higher risk (95% CI 20–113%; P-trend < 0.001) for incident T2D compared with the men in the lowest quartile, after multivariate adjustments. This association was attenuated after adjustment for BMI (HR = 1.39, 95% CI 1.04–1.85; P-trend = 0.013) or HOMA-IS (HR = 1.38, 95% CI 1.04–1.83; P-trend = 0.015), whereas adjustment for the other factors had only modest impact on the association.ConclusionHigher serum zinc was associated with higher risk of T2D; effects of zinc on BMI and insulin sensitivity may partly explain the association. Further prospective studies are warranted to confirm our results and explore potential mechanisms.  相似文献

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is a circulating glycoprotein that impairs insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and is linked to obesity and metabolic syndrome. However, the effect of exercise on plasma DPP-4 in adults with metabolic syndrome is unknown. Therefore, we determined the effect of exercise on DPP-4 and its role in explaining exercise-induced improvements in insulin sensitivity. Fourteen obese adults (67.9 ± 1.2 years, BMI: 34.2 ± 1.1 kg/m2) with metabolic syndrome (ATP III criteria) underwent a 12-week supervised exercise intervention (60 min/day for 5 days/week at ∼85% HRmax). Plasma DPP-4 was analyzed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Insulin sensitivity was measured using the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp (40 mU/m2/min) and estimated by HOMA-IR. Visceral fat (computerized tomography), 2-h glucose levels (75 g oral glucose tolerance), and basal fat oxidation as well as aerobic fitness (indirect calorimetry) were also determined before and after exercise. The intervention reduced visceral fat, lowered blood pressure, glucose and lipids, and increased aerobic fitness (P < 0.05). Exercise improved clamp-derived insulin sensitivity by 75% (P < 0.001) and decreased HOMA-IR by 15% (P < 0.05). Training decreased plasma DPP-4 by 10% (421.8 ± 30.1 vs. 378.3 ± 32.5 ng/ml; P < 0.04), and the decrease in DPP-4 was associated with clamp-derived insulin sensitivity (r = −0.59; P < 0.04), HOMA-IR (r = 0.59; P < 0.04) and fat oxidation (r = −0.54; P < 0.05). Increased fat oxidation also correlated with lower 2-h glucose levels (r = −0.64; P < 0.02). Exercise training reduces plasma DPP-4, which may be linked to elevated insulin sensitivity and fat oxidation. Maintaining low plasma DPP-4 concentrations is a potential mechanism whereby exercise plus weight loss prevents/delays the onset of type 2 diabetes in adults with metabolic syndrome.  相似文献
