Amount and type of dietary carbohydrate (CHO), as well as the CHO:fat ratio, are thought to be critical for both the rate of development and severity of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thus, these nutritional considerations were examined in the previously described “spontaneous” model of diabetes and metabolic syndrome, the Nile rat. Weanling male Nile rats ( n=92) were fed semipurified diets, modifying glycemic index and load by changing the amount of fiber or altering the CHO:fat ratio. Random and fasting blood glucose and body weight were assessed, and diabetes was characterized in terms of blood glucose, relevant plasma and liver parameters, food and water intake and terminal organ weights. Nile rats fed with hiCHO became more hyperglycemic than rats fed with modCHO ( P<.05), while loCHO and hiCHO+hiFiber rats remained essentially normoglycemic. Liver lipid and glycogen accumulation was associated with severe hyperlipemia in diabetic rats, analogous to metabolic syndrome in humans. Advanced diabetes was linked to liver and kidney damage and elevated blood urea nitrogen with weight loss. Dispersing dietary CHO by fiber or replacing it by moderate fat (reducing the glycemic index and load) delayed the onset of diabetes but did not prevent signs of insulin resistance. A very low content of dietary CHO (high fat) seemed to prevent even these early indicators of insulin resistance. Thus, the Nile rat represents a novel CHO-sensitive model for study of Type 2 diabetes that reliably follows the course of disease in humans. 相似文献

BackgroundA soluble form of CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (sCD26/DPP-IV) induces DPP-IV enzymatic activity that degrades incretin. We investigated fasting serum levels of sCD26/DPP-IV and active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in Malaysian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS), as well as the associations between sCD26/DPP-IV levels, MetS, and antidiabetic therapy. MethodsWe assessed sCD26/DPP-IV levels, active GLP-1 levels, body mass index (BMI), glucose, insulin, A1c, glucose homeostasis indices, and lipid profiles in 549 Malaysian subjects (including 257 T2DM patients with MetS, 57 T2DM patients without MetS, 71 non-diabetics with MetS, and 164 control subjects without diabetes or metabolic syndrome). ResultsFasting serum levels of sCD26/DPP-IV were significantly higher in T2DM patients with and without MetS than in normal subjects. Likewise, sCD26/DPP-IV levels were significantly higher in patients with T2DM and MetS than in non-diabetic patients with MetS. However, active GLP-1 levels were significantly lower in T2DM patients both with and without MetS than in normal subjects. In T2DM subjects, sCD26/DPP-IV levels were associated with significantly higher A1c levels, but were significantly lower in patients using monotherapy with metformin. In addition, no significant differences in sCD26/DPP-IV levels were found between diabetic subjects with and without MetS. Furthermore, sCD26/DPP-IV levels were negatively correlated with active GLP-1 levels in T2DM patients both with and without MetS. In normal subjects, sCD26/DPP-IV levels were associated with increased BMI, cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) levels. ConclusionSerum sCD26/DPP-IV levels increased in T2DM subjects with and without MetS. Active GLP-1 levels decreased in T2DM patients both with and without MetS. In addition, sCD26/DPP-IV levels were associated with Alc levels and negatively correlated with active GLP-1 levels. Moreover, metformin monotherapy was associated with reduced sCD26/DPP-IV levels. In normal subjects, sCD26/DPP-IV levels were associated with increased BMI, cholesterol, and LDL-c. 相似文献

Objective: Latin American Thyroid Society (LATS) Hypothyroidism Clinical Practice Guidelines recommend case finding of hypothyroid patients in multiple and different situations that agree with other Society guidelines. However, the detection of hypothyroidism in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients is not mentioned in particular. In the recent years, several basic and epidemiologic studies have appeared showing that a lower thyroid function and MetS/T2DM are associated. Hence, the aim of this review is to manifest the LATS position on the diagnosis of hypothyroidism in both MetS and T2DM patients. Methods: A search was made in PubMed using the following terms: “hypothyroidism” AND “diabetes” OR “metabolic syndrome.” The most relevant studies describing the prevalence and complications due to hypothyroidism in both MetS and T2DM patients were selected. Results: The current document reviews new information from studies that have shown that the prevalence of hypothyroidism is higher in T2DM patients (odds ratio [OR], 3.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.5 to 4.7) and that diabetic complications are more prevalent in subclinical hypothyroidism (ScH). The incidence of T2DM is 1.09-fold higher with each doubling of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) mIU/L (95% CI, 1.06 to 1.12), and the incidence of prediabetes increases 15% (hazard ratio, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.26) in patients with TSH >5 mIU/L. Similarly, MetS is more prevalent in ScH compared to euthyroid individuals (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.60). Conclusion: Thyroid function is affected in MetS and T2DM, and hypothyroidism is more common in these patients. Diabetic complications are more frequent in ScH patients. Therefore, LATS now recommends aggressive case finding of hypothyroidism in both MetS and T2DM patients.

Aim: This study was conducted to investigate whether serum NO metabolites (NO x) could predict the occurrence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), hypertension (HTN) and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods: We measured serum NOx concentrations in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study participants (aged ≥19?years) and followed them for a median of 7.7?years for the incidence of outcomes. To determine the appropriate cut-off points of serum NOx for predicting clinical events, a random sampling method (50:50 ratio) was used for the population and for analysis, receiver operator characteristic curve was used. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of T2DM, HTN and MetS in response to serum NOx values. Results: The optimal cut-off points of serum NOx levels for predicting T2DM, HTN and MetS were 26.5, 25.5 and 25.5?µmol/L, respectively. Participants with serum NOx levels ≥25.5?µmol/L had increased risk of MetS (HR?=?1.31, 95% CI?=?1.01–1.72). No evidence was found for any association of serum NOx with incidence of T2DM and HTN (HR?=?1.03, 95% CI?=?0.83–1.77 and HR?=?1.09, 95% CI?=?0.88–1.35). Conclusion: In this prospective population-based investigation, a higher circulating NOx was associated with development of MetS. 相似文献

This study investigated different dietary strategies, high-fat (HFd), or standard diet (Sd) alone or in combination with standardized Aronia melanocarpa extract (SAE), as a polyphenol-rich diet, and their effects on lipids and fatty acids (FA) in rats with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into two groups: healthy and rats with MetS, and then depending on dietary patterns on six groups: healthy rats fed with Sd, healthy rats fed with Sd and SAE, rats with MetS fed with HFd, rats with MetS fed with HFd and SAE, rats with MetS fed with Sd, and rats with MetS fed with Sd and SAE. 4 weeks later, after an overnight fast (12–14 h), blood for determination of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), index of lipid peroxidation (measured as TBARS), and FA was collected. Increased FA and lipid concentration found in MetS rats were reduced when changing dietary habits from HFd to Sd with or without SAE consumption. Consumption of SAE slightly affects the FA profiles, mostly palmitoleic acid in healthy rats and PUFA in MetS?+?HFd rats. Nevertheless, in a high-fat diet, SAE supplementation significantly decreases n-6/n-3 ratio, thereby decreasing systemic inflammation. Further researches are warranted to confirm these effects in humans. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo review the renal handling of glucose and the role of inhibition of a sodium-glucose transporter (SGLT2) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MethodsWe review the published data about ( 1) the filtration and reabsorption of glucose by the kidneys in normal subjects and patients with diabetes; ( 2) the deleterious effects of long-term elevation of plasma glucose levels on muscle and hepatic insulin sensitivity and beta cell function (that is, glucotoxicity); ( 3) the effect of inhibiting the SGLT2 transporter on the induction of glycosuria, glycemic control, insulin resistance, and beta cell dysfunction in animals and humans with diabetes; and ( 4) the safety of SGLT2 inhibition as a therapeutic modality to treat human T2DM. ResultsStudies in animal models of diabetes document the efficacy of the SGLT2 inhibitors in inducing glycosuria, decreasing both fasting and postprandial glucose levels, augmenting beta cell function, and enhancing hepatic and muscle insulin sensitivity. In human T2DM, short-term studies with dapagliflozin (12 weeks) and sergliflozin (2 weeks) have confirmed the efficacy of these agents in improving glycemic control. Excessive urinary electrolyte or water loss, plasma electrolyte disturbances, and hypoglycemia were not observed. ConclusionSGLT2 inhibitors represent a promising approach to the treatment of T2DM. They have the potential to be used as monotherapy, as well as in combination with all approved antidiabetic agents. Because their mechanism of action is independent of the severity of beta cell dysfunction or insulin resistance, efficacy should not decline with progressive beta cell failure or in the presence of severe insulin resistance.

AimThe euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp (EHC) is not available in most clinical settings and is costly, time consuming and invasive, and requires trained staff. Therefore, an accessible and inexpensive test to identify insulin resistance (IR) is needed. The aim of this study is to assess whether zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG) index [Ln ZAG/homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR)] is a better surrogate index for estimating IR or metabolic syndrome (MetS) compared with other surrogate indices. MethodsWe performed a population-based cross-sectional study. Two hundred healthy subjects, 102 polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients, 97 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (nT2DM) and 84 impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) subjects were enrolled. The EHC was performed to identify IR. Circulating ZAG and adiponectin levels were determined by ELISA. ResultsThe ZAG index was significantly lower in participants with IR including IGT, nT2DM and PCOS than in those without IR. In addition, subjects with MetS had lower ZAG indices and higher the product of fasting triglycerides and glucose (TyG) indices than those without MetS. The ZAG index showed a significantly stronger association with M values than the other surrogate indices, whereas the TyG index showed a stronger association with MetS. The optimal cutoff value of the ZAG index for detection of IR was 2.97 with a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 91%, whereas the optimal cutoff value of TyG index for detection of MetS was 4.90 with a sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 86%. ConclusionThe ZAG index is a better marker than the other surrogate indices for identifying IR, whereas the TyG index has high sensitivity and specificity for identifying MetS. 相似文献

BackgroundProtection of pancreatic islet cells against dysfunction or death by regulating autophagy is considered to be an effective method for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Morus alba leaves (mulberry leaves), a popular herbal medicine, have been used for prevention of T2DM since ancient times. PurposeThis study aimed to clarify whether Morus alba leaves ethanol extract (MLE) could protect islet cells in vivo and in vitro by regulating autophagy in T2DM, and explore the possible mechanism of action. MethodsThe main chemical constituents in MLE were analyzed by HPLC. The T2DM rat model was induced via high-fat diet combined with peritoneal injection of low-dose streptozotocin, and MLE was administered by oral gavage. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) and plasma insulin were measured, and homeostatic model assessment of β cell function (HOMA-β) and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were determined. The histomorphology of pancreas islets was evaluated by haematoxylin and eosin staining. In palmitic acid (PA)-stressed INS-1 rat insulinoma cells, cell viability was assayed by an MTT method. Expression of the autophagy-related proteins LC3 I/II, p62, p-AMPK and p-mTOR in islet tissues and INS-1 cells was evaluated by western blotting or immunohistochemistry analysis. ResultsThe four main chemical constituents in MLE were identified as chlorogenic acid, rutin, isoquercitrin and quercitrin. MLE ameliorated hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia of T2DM rats with prominent therapeutic effect. Further study indicated that MLE observably improved islet function, alleviated islet injury of T2DM rats, and inhibited PA-induced INS-1 cell death. On the other hand, MLE significantly induced autophagy in islet cells both in vivo and in vitro, and autophagy inhibitors abolished its therapeutic effect on T2DM rats and protective effect on islet cells. Apart from this, MLE markedly activated the AMPK/mTOR pathway in INS-1 cells, and the AMPK inhibitor prevented the autophagy induction ability of MLE. ConclusionTogether, MLE could protect islet cells against dysfunction and death by inducing AMPK/mTOR-mediated autophagy in T2DM, and these findings provide a new perspective for understanding the treatment mechanism of Morus alba leaves against T2DM. 相似文献

BackgroundGenetic polymorphisms of the Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (DPP4) gene may play a role in the etiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to investigate the possible association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the DPP4 gene in Malaysian subjects with T2DM and evaluated whether they had an effect on the serum levels of soluble dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (sDPP-IV). MethodTen DPP4 SNPs were genotyped by TaqMan genotyping assays in 314 subjects with T2DM and 235 controls. Of these, 71 metabolic syndrome (MetS) subjects were excluded from subsequent analysis. The odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence interval (CIs) were calculated using multiple logistic regression for the association between the SNPs of DPP4 and T2DM. In addition, the serum levels of sDPP-IV were investigated to evaluate the association of the SNPs of DPP4 with the sDPP-IV levels. ResultsDominant, recessive, and additive genetic models were employed to test the association of DPP4 polymorphisms with T2DM, after adjusting for age, race, gender and BMI. The rs12617656 was associated with T2DM in Malaysian subjects in the recessive genetic model (OR = 1.98, p = 0.006), dominant model (OR = 1.95, p = 0.008), and additive model (OR = 1.63, p = 0.001). This association was more pronounced among Malaysian Indians, recessive (OR = 3.21, p = 0.019), dominant OR = 3.72, p = 0.003) and additive model (OR = 2.29, p = 0.0009). The additive genetic model showed that DPP4 rs4664443 and rs7633162 polymorphisms were associated with T2DM (OR = 1.53, p = 0.039), and (OR = 1.42, p = 0.020), respectively. In addition, the rs4664443 G>A polymorphism was associated with increased sDPP-IV levels ( p = 0.042) in T2DM subjects. ConclusionsDPP4 polymorphisms were associated with T2DM in Malaysian subjects, and linked to variations in sDPP-IV levels. In addition, these associations were more pronounced among Malaysian Indian subjects. 相似文献

BackgroundDespite advances in research on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with the development of science and technology, the pathogenesis and treatment response of T2DM remain unclear. Recent studies have revealed a significant role of the microbiomein the development of T2DM, and studies have found that the gut microbiota may explain the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), a primary branch of alternative and complementary medicine, in the treatment of T2DM. The aim of this study was to systematically review all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on TCM for gut microbiota to assess the effectiveness and safety of TCM in T2DM patients. MethodsAll RCTs investigating the effects of TCM interventions on modulating gut microbiota and improving glucose metabolism in the treatment of T2DM adults were included. Meta-analyses were conducted when sufficient data were available, other results were reported narratively. The study protocol was pre-specified, documented, and published in PROSPERO (registration no. CRD42020188043). ResultsFive studies met the eligibility criteria ofthe systematic review. All five studies reported the effects of TCM interventions on the gut microbiota modulation and blood glucose control. There were statistically significant improvements in HbA1c (mean difference [MD]: -0.69%; [95% CI −0.24, −0.14]; p = 0.01, I2 = 86%), fasting blood glucose (MD: −0.87 mmol/l; [95% CI -1.26, -0.49]; p < 0.00001, I2 = 75%) and 2-h postprandial blood glucose(MD: -0.83mmol/l; [95% CI: -1.01, -0.65]; p < 0.00001, I2 = 0%). In addition, there were also statistically significant improvements in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (standardized mean difference [SMD]: −0.99, [95% CI −1.25 to -0.73]; p < 0.00001, I 2 = 0%) and homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-β) (SMD: 0.54, [95% CI 0.21 to 0.87]; p = 0.001, I2 = 0%).There was a significant change in the relative abundance of bacteria in the genera Bacteroides (standardized mean difference [SMD] 0.87%; [95% CI 0.58, 1.16], however, the change in Enterococcus abundance was not statistically significant (SMD: -1.71%; [95% CI: -3.64, 0.23]; p = 0.08) when comparing TCM supplementaltreatment with comparator groups. Other changes in the gut microbiota, including changes in the relative abundances of some probiotics and opportunistic pathogens at various taxon levels, and changes in diversity matrices (α and β), were significant by narrative analysis. However, insufficient evidences were found to support that TCM intervention had an effect on inflammation. ConclusionTCM had the effect of modulating gut microbiota and improving glucose metabolisms in T2DM patients. Although the results of the included studies are encouraging, further well-conducted studies on TCM interventions targeting the gut microbiota are needed. 相似文献

Objective: Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) has been implicated in metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but few studies have looked at transthyretin (TTR) with which RBP4 is normally bound to in the circulation. We report on the systemic levels of RBP4 and TTR and their associations with insulin resistance, obesity, prediabetes, and T2DM in Asian Indians. Methods: Age-matched individuals with normal glucose tolerance (NGT, n = 90), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT, n = 70) and T2DM (n = 90) were recruited from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study (CURES). Insulin resistance was estimated using the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). RBP4 and TTR levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Circulatory RBP4 and TTR levels (in μg/mL) were highest in T2DM (RBP4: 13 ± 3.9, TTR: 832 ± 310) followed by IGT (RBP4: 10.5 ± 3.2; TTR: 720 ± 214) compared to NGT (RBP4: 8.7 ± 2.5; TTR: 551 ± 185; P<.001). Compared to nonobese NGT individuals, obese NGT, nonobese T2DM, and obese T2DM had higher RBP4 (8.1 vs. 10.6, 12.1, and 13.2 μg/mL, P<.01) and TTR levels (478 vs. 737, 777, and 900 μg/mL, P<.01). RBP4 but not TTR was significantly ( P<.001) correlated with insulin resistance even among NGT subjects. In regression analysis, RBP4 and TTR showed significant associations with T2DM after adjusting for confounders (RBP4 odds ratio [OR]: 1.107, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.008–1.216; TTR OR: 1.342, 95% CI: 1.165–1.547). Conclusion: Circulatory levels of RBP4 and TTR showed a significant associations with glucose intolerance, obesity, T2DM and RBP4 additionally, with insulin resistance.Abbreviations: BMI = body mass index CI = confidence interval HDL = high-density lipoprotein IGT = impaired glucose tolerance LDL = low-density lipoprotein NGT = normal glucose tolerance OGTT = oral glucose tolerance test OR = odds ratio RBP4 = retinol binding protein 4 T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus TTR = transthyretin WC = waist circumference 相似文献

Objective: To review trends in the prevalence and incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and related risk factors in China. Methods: We searched the literature using PubMed, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, and China Wanfang Digital Database for large epidemiologic studies and national surveys. Results: During the past 30 years (1980–2010), 7 national diabetes mellitus surveys were conducted in China mainland, indicating that the prevalence of DM has increased 17-fold, from 0.67 to 11.6% of the population. The prevalence of impaired glucose regulation (IGR, including impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance) also increased, from 2.09 in 1994 to 27.2% in 2010. There was no national representative study of the incidence of diabetes to date; the reported incidence of type 2 diabetes during past 25 years in several cohort studies varied (2.7 to 15.8 per 1,000 person-years). Potential risk factors which could have contributed to the increasing prevalence and incidence of DM and IGR in the Chinese population include social and economic development, urbanization, dietary pattern, and Westernized lifestyle. Further, genetic studies have suggested that unique inheritable risk factors in the Chinese population may increase the risk for DM when compared to Caucasians. Conclusion: DM and IGR have become epidemic in China. Public health strategies should focus on modifying lifestyle and dietary factors, particularly among those with a susceptible genetic background.

Background Aortic distensibility (AD) is a marker of the elastic properties of the aorta. Reduction of AD occurs early in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and it is associated with subclinical generalized atherosclerosis. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is common in subjects with T2DM and predicts cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study examined the potential relationship between MetS and AD in a cohort of subjects with T2DM. Methods and results A total of 210 subjects with T2DM were studied. MetS was diagnosed using the NCEP/ATP-III criteria. AD was assessed non-invasively by ultrasonography. The prevalence of MetS was 64.8%. AD was not significantly different between subjects with and without MetS (1.80 ± 0.54 vs. 1.84 ± 0.53 10 -6 dyn -1 cm 2, p = 0.55). Univariate linear regression analysis showed that AD was associated positively with male sex (p = 0.02) as well as glomerular filtration rate (p < 0.001), and negatively with age (p = 0.04), history of hypertension (p = 0.001), as well as duration of diabetes (p < 0.001). After multivariate adjustment, AD was associated independently and significantly only with age (p = 0.02), duration of diabetes p < 0.001), and history of hypertension (p = 0.004); no significant relationship was found with MetS status, the sum of the components of the MetS or the individual components-besides hypertension-of the MetS. Conclusion In subjects with T2DM, MetS status per se is not associated with reduction of AD. In addition, it was shown that besides ageing, duration of glycemia was a strong predictor of AD. From the components of the MetS only hypertension was associated with reduction of the elastic properties of the aorta. 相似文献

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of T2DM on nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and advanced fibrosis. Methods: A total of 221 NAFLD patients who had undergone a liver biopsy were included in this study. Subjects were divided into a non-T2DM group and a T2DM group based on glycemic control. NASH was diagnosed by the joint presence of steatosis, ballooning, and lobular inflammation. The steatosis, activity, and fibrosis (SAF) score and NAFLD activity score (NAS) were used to evaluate the severity of NAFLD. The severity of liver fibrosis was evaluated based on the fibrosis stage. Results: The total percentages of NASH and advanced fibrosis in this study were 95.0% and 50.2%, respectively. The percentages of NASH and advanced fibrosis in NAFLD patients with T2DM were 96.1% and 56.5%, respectively, which were higher than those in the non-T2DM group. SAF score (especially activity and fibrosis stage) and NAS (especially ballooning) were higher in NAFLD patients with T2DM than in NAFLD patients without T2DM. Glycemic control and insulin resistance were positively associated with SAF, NAS, and fibrosis stage. Additionally, T2DM elevated the risk of a high NAS and advanced fibrosis. Conclusion: T2DM increases the risk of serious NASH and advanced fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. Liver biopsy can be performed in NAFLD patients with T2DM to confirm the stage of NAFLD.

Objective: We examined whether the “Dexamethasone Stress Test” exhibits the requisite high predictive ability to identify individuals highly prone to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: Seven years ago, we administered an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to 33 individuals without T2DM and repeated the OGTT 24 hours after a single oral dose of 8 mg dexamethasone (Dex); all participants had a first-degree relative with T2DM, and close to half had prediabetes. We calculated receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for all parameters derived from the OGTT before and after Dex in individuals who subsequently developed diabetes compared to individuals who did not. Results: At 7 years of follow-up, 9 individuals had developed T2DM, while 24 remained without diabetes. None of the OGTT-derived parameters before administration of Dex had an area under the ROC curve of >0.8. However, 24 hours after Dex, three parameters, including fasting plasma insulin, homeostatic model assessment–insulin resistance, and 2-hour plasma glucose level, exhibited areas under the ROC curves of 0.84, 0.86, and 0.92, respectively. Conclusion: The Dexamethasone Stress Test appears to be a good to excellent test in identifying individuals highly prone to develop T2DM.

Background: The study was aimed to investigate the potential therapeutic effect of Mori folium aqueous extracts (MFAE) on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in vivo.Methods and results: A rat model of T2DM was established with the combination of high sugar and high-fat diet (HSFD) and streptozotocin (STZ). The T2DM rats were administrated with low (2 g.kg −1) and high (5 g.kg −1) doses of MFAE for 60 consecutive days. The biochemical indices of glucose metabolism disorders, insulin resistance and oxidative stress were observed. The results indicated that MFAE significantly promoted the synthesis of hepatic glycogen, reduced the levels of fasting blood glucose and fasting blood insulin, and improved the insulin sensitivity index (ISI). MFAE administration also remarkably increased the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA).Conclusion: MFAE showed a therapeutic effect on T2DM with the bioative effect of improve glucose metabolism disorders, decrease insulin resistance, and ameliorate the antioxidative ability. 相似文献

BackgroundOur previous clinical research showed that the interaction between gut microbiota and bile acids (BAs) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) changed significantly. We hypothesized that T2DM could be improved by adjusting this interaction mediated by farnesoid X receptor (FXR). T2DM belongs to the category of “ xiaoke” in traditional Chinese medicine. Radix scutellariae has the effects of clearing away heat and eliminating dampness, curing jaundice and quenching thirst and is widely used alone or in combination with other medicines for the treatment of T2DM in China and throughout Asia. Additionally, the interaction between Radix scutellariae and gut microbiota may influence its efficacy in the treatment of T2DM. PurposeThis study chose Radix scutellariae to validate that T2DM could improve by adjusting the interaction between gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism. Study design and methodsRadix scutellariae water extract (WESB) was administered to a T2DM rat model established by a high-fat diet combined with streptozotocin. The body weight and blood glucose and insulin levels were measured. The levels of serum lipids, creatinine, uric acid, albumin and total bile acid were also detected. Changes in the pathology and histology of the pancreas, liver and kidney were observed by haematoxylin-eosin staining. The 16S rRNAs of gut microbiota were sequenced, and the faecal and serum BAs were determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The expression levels of BA metabolism-associated proteins in the liver and intestine were evaluated by immunoblot analysis. ResultsThe results showed that WESB improved hyperglycaemia, hyperlipaemia, and liver and kidney damage in T2DM rats. In addition, the abundances of key gut microbiota and the concentrations of certain secondary BAs in faeces and serum were restored. Moreover, there was a significant correlation between the restored gut microbiota and BAs, which might be related to the activation of liver cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) and the inhibition of FXR expression in the intestine rather than the liver. ConclusionsThis study provided new ideas for the prevention or treatment of clinical diabetes and its complications by adjusting the interaction between gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism. 相似文献
