Nutrimetabolomics, the application of metabolomics to nutrition research, allows for the detection of food-specific compounds (FSCs) that can be used to connect dietary patterns, such as a Mediterranean-style (MED) diet, to health. This validation study is based upon analyses from a controlled feeding MED intervention, where our team identified FSCs from eight foods that can be detected in biospecimens after consumption and may therefore serve as food intake biomarkers. + + METHODS: Individuals with overweight/obesity who do not habitually consume a MED dietary pattern will complete a 16-week randomized, multi-intervention, semi-controlled feeding study of isocaloric dietary interventions: (1) MED-amplified dietary pattern, containing 500 kcal/day from eight MED target foods: avocado, basil, cherry, chickpea, oat, red bell pepper, walnut, and a protein source (alternating between salmon or unprocessed, lean beef), and (2) habitual/Western dietary pattern, containing 500 kcal/day from six non-MED target foods: cheesecake, chocolate frozen yogurt, refined grain bread, sour cream, white potato, and unprocessed, lean beef. After a 2-week washout, participants complete four, 4-week intervention periods, with biospecimen sampling and outcome assessments at baseline and at intervention weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16. The primary outcome is change in the relative abundance of FSCs from the eight MED target foods in participant biospecimens from baseline to the end of each intervention period. Secondary outcomes include mean change in cardiometabolic health indicators, inflammatory markers, and adipokines. Exploratory outcomes include change in diversity and community composition of the gut microbiota. + + DISCUSSION: Our stepwise strategy, beginning with identification of FSCs in whole diets and biospecimens, followed by relating these to health indicators will lead to improved methodology for assessment of dietary patterns and a better understanding of the relationship between food and health. This study will serve as a first step toward validating candidate food intake biomarkers and allow for assessment of relationships with cardiometabolic health. The identification of food intake biomarkers is critical to future research and has implications spanning health promotion and disease prevention for many chronic conditions. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: Registered at ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05500976 ; Date of registration: August 15, 2022.

Pathological data and animal models have demonstrated an increased inflammatory reaction in hypothalamus and hippocampus. + + OBJECTIVE: We tested whether we could observe such pathological modifications in vivo through quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) metrics. + + METHODS: This prospective study was conducted between May 2019 and November 2022. The study was conducted in the Specialized Center for the Care of Obesity in a French University Hospital. Twenty-seven patients with obesity and 23 age and gender-paired normal-weight controls were prospectively recruited. All participants were examined using brain MRI. Anthropometric and biological data, eating behavior, anxiety, depression, and memory performance were assessed in both groups. The main outcome measure was brain MRI with the following parametric maps: quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), mean diffusivity (MD), fractional anisotropy (FA), magnetization transfer ratio map, and T2 relaxivity map. + + RESULTS: In the hypothalamus, patients with obesity had higher FA and lower QSM than normal-weight controls. In the hippocampus, patients with obesity had higher FA and lower MD. There was no correlation between imaging biomarkers and eating behavior or anxiety. + + CONCLUSION: Our findings are consistent with the presence of neuroinflammation in brain regions involved in food intake. In vivo brain biomarkers from quantitative MRI appear to provide an incremental information for the assessment of brain damages in patients with obesity. Copyright © The Author(s) 2024.

Anthropometric measurements including central obesity surrogate, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and dental examinations were conducted. The participants were classified into four groups as follows: with normal WHtR and less extensive periodontal inflammation (NW+LP); with high WHtR and less extensive periodontal inflammation (HW+LP); with normal WHtR and more extensive periodontal inflammation (NW+P); and with high WHtR and more extensive periodontal inflammation (HW+P). Saliva were collected to measure salivary physicochemical parameters, total bacterial load, and levels of protein biomarkers including secretory phospholipase A2 group IIA (sPLA2-IIA) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Data were analysed by Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman correlation coefficient. + + RESULTS: Salivary IL-6 levels and sPLA2-IIA and IL-6 output differed significantly between groups (P = 0.041, 0.027, and 0.043, respectively). The NW+P group had significantly higher salivary IL-6 output than the NW+LP group (P = 0.034) and significantly lower salivary sPLA2-IIA output than the HW+LP group (P = 0.038). Salivary IL-6 levels were negatively correlated with the number of sextants with healthy gingivae and positively correlated with salivary sPLA2-IIA levels in participants with normal WHtR. Salivary sPLA2-IIA levels were negatively correlated with total salivary bacterial load in participants with high WHtR. + + CONCLUSIONS: Salivary IL-6 levels were associated with the extent of periodontal inflammation in participants with normal WHtR but not in those with high WHtR. Adolescents with different adiposity status may have different mechanisms of periodontal inflammation. + + CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Investigating salivary biomarkers of periodontal health holds potential benefits in identifying individuals at risk and customizing oral health promotion strategies for individuals with varying levels of adiposity, even as early as adolescence.

Whether the association between T2D and PNNS-GS2 is direct or mediated by obesity has been little investigated. + + RESEARCH METHODS: The study included 71,450 women from the E3N-EPIC cohort, mean age of 52.9 y (SD 6.7). The simplified PNNS-GS2 was derived via food history questionnaire. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of T2D. Causal mediation analyses were used to decompose the total effect of sPNNS-GS2 on T2D into a direct effect and indirect effect mediated by body mass index (BMI) or the waist-hip ratio (WHR). + + RESULTS: During a mean follow-up of 19 y, 3679 incident T2D cases were identified and validated. There was a linear association between adherence to sPNNS-GS2 and T2D (P-nonlinearity = 0.92). In the fully adjusted model, each 1-SD increase in the sPNNS-GS2 was associated with a lower T2D risk [HR (95% CI), 0.92 (0.89, 0.95)]. The overall associations were mainly explained by sPNNS-GS2-associated excess weight, with BMI and WHR mediating 52% and 58% of the associations, respectively. + + CONCLUSIONS: Higher adherence to French food-based dietary guidelines was associated with a lower risk of T2D in women, and a significant portion of this effect could be attributed to excess weight measured by BMI or WHR. This finding helps better understand the mechanisms underlying the diet-T2D association. Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

A random-effects network meta-analysis was performed within a frequentist framework. + + RESULTS: A total of 75 articles and 4048 participants were included. Resistance training was the most recommended type of exercise to decrease C-reactive protein levels (surface under cumulative ranking=90.1; standardized mean difference=-0.79, 95% confidence interval: -1.17, -0.42); aerobic exercise was the most effective exercise type to reduce tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels (surface under cumulative ranking=87.9; standardized mean difference=-0.79, 95% confidence interval: -1.19, -0.39); combined aerobic and resistance exercise was the most effective type of exercise to reduce interleukin-6 levels (surface under cumulative ranking=75.8; standardized mean difference=-0.77, 95% confidence interval: -1.38, -0.16) and leptin levels (surface under cumulative ranking=77.1; standardized mean difference=-0.96, 95% confidence interval: -1.72, -0.20), and high-intensity interval training was the type of exercise that was well suited to increase adiponectin levels (surface under cumulative ranking=87.2; standardized mean difference=0.99, 95% confidence interval: 0.27, 1.71). + + CONCLUSIONS: This network meta-analysis based on randomized controlled trials confirmed that different exercise types have different efficacies on inflammation indicators among women with overweight and obesity. The findings may provide clinicians and healthcare professionals with insights into the implementation of exercise programs for women struggling with overweight and obesity.

However, the patterns of GDF15 levels in underweight or obese patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are not well-understood. + + METHODS: We assessed serum GDF15 levels at baseline and 3 years and the temporal changes in 940 Japanese patients (642 paired samples), as a sub-analysis of the SUPPORT trial (age 65.9 +/- 10.1 years). The GDF15 levels were analyzed across BMI groups (underweight [<18.5 kg/m2; n = 50], healthy weight [18.5-22.9; n = 27 5], overweight [23-24.9; n = 234], and obese [>=25; n = 381]), following WHO recommendations for the Asian-Pacific population. Landmark analysis at 3 years assessed the association between GDF15 levels and HF hospitalization or all-cause death. + + RESULTS: Compared to the healthy weight group, the underweight group included more females (54.0%) with advanced HF (NYHA class III; 20.0%) and exhibited increased GDF15 level (1764 pg/mL [IQR 1067-2633]). Obese patients, younger (64.2 years) and diabetic (53%), had a similar GDF15 level to the healthy weight group. A higher baseline GDF15 level was associated with worse outcomes across the BMI spectrum. GDF15 increased by 208 [21-596] pg/mL over 3 years, with the most substantial increase observed in the underweight group (by +28.9% [6.2-81.0]). Persistently high GDF15 levels (>=1800 pg/mL) was independently associated with worse outcomes after 3 years (adjusted HR 1.8 [95%CI 1.1-2.9]). + + CONCLUSIONS: In underweight patients with CHF, GDF15 level was elevated at baseline and experienced the most significant increase over 3 years. Its consistent elevation suggested a worse outcome. Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier B.V. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (GDF15 protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This systematic review aimed to analyze and summarize the generation and mechanisms of adipose-derived miRNAs and their role as early predictors of various obesity-related complications. Literature searches in the PubMed and Web of Science databases using terms related to miRNAs, obesity, and adipose tissue. Pre-miRNAs from the Human MicroRNA Disease Database, known to regulate obesity-related metabolic disorders, were combined for intersection processing. Validated miRNA targets were sorted through literature review, and enrichment analysis using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes via the KOBAS online tool, disease analysis, and miRNA transcription factor prediction using the TransmiR v. 2.0 database were also performed. Thirty miRNAs were identified using both obesity and adipose secretion as criteria. Seventy-nine functionally validated targets associated with 30 comorbidities of these miRNAs were identified, implicating pathways such as autophagy, p53 pathways, and inflammation. The miRNA precursors were analyzed to predict their transcription factors and explore their biosynthesis mechanisms. Our findings offer potential insights into the epigenetic changes related to adipose-driven obesity-related comorbidities.

A modified triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, including TyG-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and TyG-waist circumference (TyG-WC), has been introduced to represent IR. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic abilities of IR indices in MAFLD, in which fatty liver was diagnosed using computed tomography (CT). Subjects/methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and images of 852 adults aged >=19 years who underwent abdominal CT. MAFLD was diagnosed based on the appearance of fatty liver on CT alongside at least one of the following three criteria: being overweight or obese, at least two metabolic risk abnormalities, and/or diabetes mellitus. IR indices were calculated by examining the following variables: homeostasis model assessment-IR, TyG index, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and visceral adiposity index. The diagnostic accuracy was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: For all patients, the area under the curve (AUC) of the TyG index, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC were 0.834, 0.938, and 0.942, respectively. In men, the AUC of the TyG index, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC were 0.812, 0.928, and 0.934, respectively. In women, the AUC of the TyG index was 0.841, and TyG-BMI and TyG-WC were 0.940 and 0.953, respectively. The AUC values tended to increase in the following order: TyG index < TyG-BMI < TyG-WC. Women showed a higher AUC than men in all items, and the TyG-WC of women showed the highest value with AUC 0.953 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.892-1.000, P < 0.0001). The AUC of the TyG index was 0.858 (95% CI: 0.828-0.888, P < 0.0001). Conclusions: In conclusion, TyG-WC is a powerful surrogate marker for identifying MAFLD in clinical settings. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Triglycerides). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=mesx&DO=10.1089%2fmet.2023.0276 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Han&issn=1540-4196&title=Metabolic+Syndrome+%26+Related+Disorders&atitle=Diagnostic+Performance+of+Insulin+Resistance+Indices+for+Identifying+Metabolic+Dysfunction-Associated+Fatty+Liver+Disease.&volume=22&issue=5&spage=402&epage=409&date=2024&doi=10.1089%2Fmet.2023.0276&pmid=38574322&sid=OVID:medline + +<9> +Unique Identifier + 38395746 +Title + Label-Free Electrochemical Immunosensor Based on Conjugated Polymer Film Coated Disposable Electrode for Ultrasensitive Determination of Resistin Potential Obesity Biomarker. +Source + Acs Applied Bio Materials. 7(3):1820-1830, 2024 03 18. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Aydin EB; Aydin M; Sezginturk MK +Authors Full Name + Aydin, Elif Burcu; Aydin, Muhammet; Sezginturk, Mustafa Kemal. +Institution + Aydin, Elif Burcu.

To construct a sensing interface, the monomer of double epoxy groups-substituted thiophene (TdiEpx) was synthesized for the fabrication of the biosensing system. A disposable indium tin oxide sheet was first modified by electrochemical polymerization of the TdiEpx monomer, and this robust and novel surface was characterized using different spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses. The double epoxy ends were linked to the amino ends of anti-resistin, and they served as binding points for the covalent binding of biomolecules. The double epoxy ends present in each TdiEpx monomer ensured an extensive surface area, which improved the quantity of attached anti-resistin. The determination of resistin antigen was based on the specific coupling of resistin with anti-resistin, and this interaction hindered the electron transfer reaction. The immunosensor introduced a wide linear range of 0.0125-15 pg/mL, a low detection limit of 4.17 fg/mL, and an excellent sensitivity of 1.38 kohm pg mL-1 cm2. In this study, a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay spectrophotometric method was utilized as a reference technique for the quantitative analysis of resistin in human serum and saliva samples. Both measurements in clinical samples displayed correlations and high-correlation coefficients. In addition, this immunosensor had good storage stability, acceptable repeatability and reproducibility, high specificity, and good accuracy. The proposed immunosensor provided a simple and versatile impedimetric immunosensing platform and a promisingly sensitive way for clinical applications. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Resistin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Polymers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Pre-surgical exercise programs are recommended to prepare the candidate physically and metabolically for surgery-related rapid weight loss. However, the ideal exercise prescription in this population is unknown. This study aimed to compare the metabolic effects of moderate-intensity constant (MICT) vs. a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program in candidates to undergo bariatric surgery. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Twenty-five candidates (22 women) to undergo sleeve gastrectomy aged from 18 to 60 years old were recruited. At baseline, we measured body composition, physical activity levels, grip strength, and aerobic capacity. Further, we assessed metabolic function through glycemia and insulinemia (both fasting and after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)), homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid profile, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), transaminases, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), apelin, and adiponectin. Afterward, participants were randomized into MICT (n = 14) or HIIT (n = 11). Both training programs consisted of 10 sessions (2-3 times/week, 30 min per session) distributed during 4 weeks before the surgery. After this, all outcomes were measured again at the end of the training programs and 1 month after the surgery (follow-up). A mixed effect with Tukey's post-hoc analysis was performed to compare values at baseline vs. post-training vs. postsurgical follow-up. Both training programs increased aerobic capacity after training (p < 0.05), but only after MICT these changes were kept at follow-up (p < 0.05). However, only MICT decreased fat mass and increased total muscle mass and physical activity levels (p < 0.05). Metabolically, MICT decreased insulinemia after OGTT (p < 0.05), whereas HIIT increased adiponectin after training and GDF15 at follow-up (both p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Both MICT and HIIT conferred benefits in candidates to undergo bariatric surgery, however, several of those effects were program-specific, suggesting that exercise intensity should be considered when preparing these patients. Future studies should explore the potential benefits of prescribing MICT or HIIT in a customized fashion depending on a pretraining screening, along with possible summatory effects by combining these two exercise programs (MICT + HIIT). + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: International Traditional Medicine Clinical Trial Registry, Ndegree ISRCTN42273422.

Fatty acid binding protein-1 (FABP-1) is a marker specific to certain tissues and can aid in diagnosing NAFPD. However, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of NAFPD among obese and non-obese people with and without diabetes mellitus (DM). Additionally, it aimed to evaluate the associated risk factors for NAFPD and the utility of the FABP-1 level as a simple, non-invasive biomarker for diagnosing NAFPD. + + METHODS: This study is a prospective cross-sectional study. + + RESULTS: Ninety-five patients were enrolled in the study, comprising 35 males and 60 females, with a mean age of 44 years and a standard deviation (SD) of 11 years. However, 26.3 % were morbidly obese, 22.1 % were severely obese, 31.6 % were obese, 12.6 % were overweight, and 7.4 % were normal. Additionally, 35.8 % had diabetes mellitus, while 26.3 % of patients had hypertension. Regarding the ultrasonographic findings, 94.7 % of the patients had fatty liver, with the majority (41.1 %) classified as grade II, followed by 38.9 % classified as grade I, and 14.7 % classified as grade III fatty liver. Among these patients, 78.9 % had fatty pancreas, with 38.9 % classified as grade II, 31.6 % classified as grade I, and 8.4 % classified as grade III fatty pancreas. The median FABP-1 level among patients with fatty pancreas was 3.3 ng/ml, which exhibited a significant fair negative correlation with total bilirubin and a fair, positive correlation with alkaline phosphatase and portal vein diameter. A statistically substantial distinction was observed between the levels of AFABP-1 and the presence or grading of the fatty pancreas (p-value = 0.048 and < 0.001, respectively). Using multivariate analysis, FABP-1 was the only significant predictor of a fatty pancreas. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that at a cut-off point of FABP-1 of <= 3.7, it had a sensitivity of 58 %, specificity of 80 %, positive predictive value (PPV) of 96.6 %, negative predictive value (NPV) of 17 %, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.77. + + CONCLUSION: NAFPD is becoming an increasingly significant challenge. FABP-1 can potentially be a straightforward and non-invasive predictor of the fatty pancreas. Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The relationship between child- and caregiver-reported family functioning and the cardiometabolic health of Hispanic/Latino youth was examined. + + METHOD: Data were from the Hispanic Community Children's Health Study/Study of Latino Youth (SOL Youth) (2012-2014), a population-based cohort study of children and adolescents whose parents participated in the HCHS/SOL (2008-2011). The relationship between youth- and caregiver-rated family functioning, and concordance of ratings is modeled, utilizing the general functioning subscale of the McMaster Family Assessment Device with youth objective cardiometabolic health markers (obesity, central adiposity, prediabetes/diabetes, prehypertension/hypertension, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol) adjusting for sociodemographic factors. + + RESULTS: Among boys, child/caregiver concordant ineffective family functioning rating was associated with higher cumulative cardiometabolic risk (adjusted B (95% CI): 0.30 (0.04, 0.56)), but no association was observed among girls (adjusted B (95% CI): 0.04 (-0.13, 0.21)). Among girls, ineffective child rating/effective caregiver rating was associated with higher cumulative cardiometabolic risk (adjusted B (95% CI): 0.27 (0.06, 0.48)), but no association was observed among boys (adjusted B (95% CI): 0.02 (-0.23, 0.27). + + CONCLUSION: Findings suggest that family functioning among this Hispanic/Latino population may influence cardiometabolic risk among youth. Observed differences in the associations by youth sex and concordant/discordant reports of family functioning suggest interventions at the family level, targeting both caregivers and youth, that consider differential sex effects are warranted.

However, there is limited research on the relationship between changes in TyG-related indices and CVD, as most studies have focused on baseline TyG-related indices. + + METHODS: The data for this prospective cohort study were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. The exposures were changes in TyG-related indices and cumulative TyG-related indices from 2012 to 2015. The K-means algorithm was used to classify changes in each TyG-related index into four classes (Class 1 to Class 4). Multivariate logistic regressions were used to evaluate the associations between the changes in TyG-related indices and the incidence of CVD. + + RESULTS: In total, 3243 participants were included in this study, of whom 1761 (54.4%) were female, with a mean age of 57.62 years at baseline. Over a 5-year follow-up, 637 (19.6%) participants developed CVD. Fully adjusted logistic regression analyses revealed significant positive associations between changes in TyG-related indices, cumulative TyG-related indices and the incidence of CVD. Among these changes in TyG-related indices, changes in TyG-waist circumference (WC) showed the strongest association with incident CVD. Compared to the participants in Class 1 of changes in TyG-WC, the odds ratio (OR) for participants in Class 2 was 1.41 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.08-1.84), the OR for participants in Class 3 was 1.54 (95% CI 1.15-2.07), and the OR for participants in Class 4 was 1.94 (95% CI 1.34-2.80). Moreover, cumulative TyG-WC exhibited the strongest association with incident CVD among cumulative TyG-related indices. Compared to the participants in Quartile 1 of cumulative TyG-WC, the OR for participants in Quartile 2 was 1.33 (95% CI 1.00-1.76), the OR for participants in Quartile 3 was 1.46 (95% CI 1.09-1.96), and the OR for participants in Quartile 4 was 1.79 (95% CI 1.30-2.47). + + CONCLUSIONS: Changes in TyG-related indices are independently associated with the risk of CVD. Changes in TyG-WC are expected to become more effective indicators for identifying individuals at a heightened risk of CVD. Copyright © 2024.

However, HIIT leads to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). The present study aimed to investigate the effects of omega-3 supplementation on DOMS, muscle damage, and acute inflammatory markers induced by cycling HIIT in untrained males with overweight or obesity. A randomized, double-blinded study was used in the present study. Twenty-four males with a sedentary lifestyle were randomly assigned to either receive omega-3 (O3) (4 g fish oil) or placebo (Con). Subjects consumed the capsules for 4 weeks and performed cycling HIIT at the 4th week. After 4 weeks-intervention, the omega-3 index of O3 group increased by 52.51% compared to the baseline. All subjects performed HIIT at 4th week. The plasma creatine kinase (CK) level of Con group increased throughout 48h after HIIT. While the CK level of O3 group increased only immediately and 24h after HIIT and decreased at 48h after HIIT. The white blood cell count (WBC) of Con group increased immediately after the HIIT, while O3 group did not show such increase. There was no change of CRP in both groups. O3 group had a higher reduction of calf pain score compared to Con group. O3 group also showed a recovery of leg strength faster than Con group. Omega-3 supplementation for 4 weeks lower increased CK level, reduced calf pain score, and recovery leg strength, DOMS markers after cycling HIIT.

This study was carried out on 238 NAFLD patients with overweight or obesity, aged 18-55 years. Anthropometric measurements were done and body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were estimated. Metabolic factors including serum glucose, lipid profile, liver function biomarkers, and complete blood cell count were assessed after a 24-h fasting state. SIIs including the ratios of neutrophil to lymphocyte (NLR), monocytes to lymphocyte (MLR), platelet to lymphocyte (PLR), and monocytes to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (MHR) were calculated. Results indicate that apart from PLR, all of the SIIs significantly changed by increasing steatosis severity (all p < 0.05). Moreover, changes in NLR showed a significant association with anthropometric indices including waist circumference (p = 0.032), BMI (p = 0.047), and WHtR (p = 0.002), as well as levels of fasting blood sugar (p = 0.045), triglycerides, (p = 0.025) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.006). The findings also indicate the relations between lipid profile and all studied SIIs, notably MHR and MLR. All of the SIIs exhibited associations with some liver function indices as well. MHR was positively correlated with the metabolic risk factors of NAFLD while, oppositely, PLR was considered as a preventive marker of NAFLD. Copyright © 2024.

It is of great value to elucidate the potential molecular mechanisms of ASFD. The present study aims to identify obese-specific biomarkers and key pathways correlated with ASFD in pigs. The ASF-related mRNA expression dataset GSE136754 was retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and systematically analyzed using a comprehensive bioinformatics method. A total of 565 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between three obese and three lean pigs, and these DEGs were mainly involved in the p53 signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway and fatty acid metabolism. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, consisting of 540 nodes and 1,065 edges, was constructed, and the top ten genes with the highest degree scores-ABL1, HDAC1, CDC42, HDAC2, MRPS5, MRPS10, MDM2, JUP, RPL7L1 and UQCRFS1-were identified as hub genes in the whole PPI network. Especially HDAC1, MDM2, MRPS10 and RPL7L1 were identified as potential robust obese-specific biomarkers due to their significant differences in single gene expression levels and high ROC area; this was further verified by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) on abdominal subcutaneous fat samples from obese-type (Saba) and lean-type (Large White) pigs. Additionally, a mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA ceRNA network consisting of four potential biomarkers, 15 miRNAs and 51 lncRNAs was established, and two targeted lncRNAs with more connections, XIST and NEAT1, were identified as potentially important regulatory factors. The findings of this study may provide novel insights into the molecular mechanism involved in ASFD.

This systematic review aimed to analyze and summarize the generation and mechanisms of adipose-derived miRNAs and their role as early predictors of various obesity-related complications. Literature searches in the PubMed and Web of Science databases using terms related to miRNAs, obesity, and adipose tissue. Pre-miRNAs from the Human MicroRNA Disease Database, known to regulate obesity-related metabolic disorders, were combined for intersection processing. Validated miRNA targets were sorted through literature review, and enrichment analysis using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes via the KOBAS online tool, disease analysis, and miRNA transcription factor prediction using the TransmiR v. 2.0 database were also performed. Thirty miRNAs were identified using both obesity and adipose secretion as criteria. Seventy-nine functionally validated targets associated with 30 comorbidities of these miRNAs were identified, implicating pathways such as autophagy, p53 pathways, and inflammation. The miRNA precursors were analyzed to predict their transcription factors and explore their biosynthesis mechanisms. Our findings offer potential insights into the epigenetic changes related to adipose-driven obesity-related comorbidities.

The relationship between child- and caregiver-reported family functioning and the cardiometabolic health of Hispanic/Latino youth was examined. + + METHOD: Data were from the Hispanic Community Children's Health Study/Study of Latino Youth (SOL Youth) (2012-2014), a population-based cohort study of children and adolescents whose parents participated in the HCHS/SOL (2008-2011). The relationship between youth- and caregiver-rated family functioning, and concordance of ratings is modeled, utilizing the general functioning subscale of the McMaster Family Assessment Device with youth objective cardiometabolic health markers (obesity, central adiposity, prediabetes/diabetes, prehypertension/hypertension, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol) adjusting for sociodemographic factors. + + RESULTS: Among boys, child/caregiver concordant ineffective family functioning rating was associated with higher cumulative cardiometabolic risk (adjusted B (95% CI): 0.30 (0.04, 0.56)), but no association was observed among girls (adjusted B (95% CI): 0.04 (-0.13, 0.21)). Among girls, ineffective child rating/effective caregiver rating was associated with higher cumulative cardiometabolic risk (adjusted B (95% CI): 0.27 (0.06, 0.48)), but no association was observed among boys (adjusted B (95% CI): 0.02 (-0.23, 0.27). + + CONCLUSION: Findings suggest that family functioning among this Hispanic/Latino population may influence cardiometabolic risk among youth. Observed differences in the associations by youth sex and concordant/discordant reports of family functioning suggest interventions at the family level, targeting both caregivers and youth, that consider differential sex effects are warranted.

The values of the plasma sestrin 2, TRB3, insulin, fasting plasma glucose, lipid profile, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were compared in 90 obese women with PCOS (BMI > 30), 90 women with nonobese PCOS (BMI < 30), and 90 control patients (BMI < 30). + + Results: The mean age of the study group consisting of all PCOS patients (26.11 +/- 4.64 years) and the mean age of the control group (26.3 +/- 4.4 years) were statistically similar (p = 0.239). The serum sestrin 2 values of the obese PCOS group were found to be statistically significantly lower than the control and non-obese PCOS groups (p = 0.001, p = 0.0001), while the sestrin 2 values of the nonobese PCOS group were found to be statistically significantly lower than the control group (p = 0.0001). The TRB3 values of the control group were found to be statistically significantly lower than the obese and nonobese PCOS groups (p = 0.0001), while the TRB3 values of the nonobese PCOS group were found to be statistically significantly lower than the obese PCOS group (p = 0.0001). A negative correlation was observed between the sestrin 2 level and BMI (r = -0.272 p = 0.0001), insulin (r = -0.261 p = 0.0001), and HOMA-IR levels (r = -0.250 p = 0.0001). A positive correlation was observed between the TRB3 values and TG (r = 0.248 p = 0.0001), and LDL-C values (r = 0.235 p = 0.0001). + + Conclusion: According to the findings in this study, low sestrin 2 and high TRB3 levels may be related to impaired metabolic status in the obese PCOS group. Thus, it may be promising for the development of treatment of PCOS and associated metabolic disorder in the future.

Breast milk (BM) is rich in nutritional elements, vitamins, minerals, immunological factors, and bioactive components. These bioactive components, capable of influencing biological processes, may vary in concentration based on maternal body composition. Research Aim/Question(s): This study aimed to explore the association between pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (interleukin-1 beta [IL-1beta], interleukin-6 [IL-6], and tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha]) in human colostrum and maternal body composition, as analyzed through bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA). Method: In this cross-sectional study, 117 healthy postpartum participants were included, with each group (normal weight, overweight, and obese) comprising 39 individuals, as classified by BIVA. Colostrum samples were collected within the first 24 hours postpartum. Results: IL-1beta levels did not significantly differ across the groups, with concentrations of 69.5 +/- 103 pg/mL in normal-weight, 79.7 +/- 97.9 pg/mL in overweight, and 68.7 +/- 108 pg/mL in obese women. IL-6 levels were significantly higher in the overweight group (55 +/- 72.4 pg/mL) than in the normal-weight (48.1 +/- 74.1 pg/mL) and obese groups (28.9 +/- 36.2 pg/mL) (p = 0.02). Similarly, TNF-alpha levels were higher in the overweight group, with concentrations of 58.7 +/- 74.9 pg/mL, than in the normal-weight group, with concentrations of 38.6 +/- 95.4 pg/mL, and 52.6 +/- 115 pg/mL in obese women (p = 0.02). Conclusion: This study shows that IL-6 and TNF-alpha concentrations were statistically higher in the colostrum of overweight women, suggesting that maternal body composition may influence the inflammatory profile of BM. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Interleukin-1beta). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (IL1B protein, human). 0 (IL6 protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

All volunteers underwent polysomnography. Blood samples were taken on the day of the test. In addition to routine biochemistry studies, irisin levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent measurement. ROC analysis was performed to determine the predictive value of irisin. + + RESULTS: Of 100 volunteers, 75 had OSA and 25 did not. Irisin levels were significantly lower in the group with OSA than in the non-OSA group. The lowest irisin levels were determined in the group with severe OSA. Irisin levels showed high sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing between OSA and non-OSA groups. It had high sensitivity and specificity in differentiating severe OSA from other groups in subgroups, while it had low sensitivity and specificity in differentiating patients with mild and moderate OSA. In logistic regression analysis, a low irisin level was determined to be a risk factor for OSA independent of BMI. + + CONCLUSION: This study indicated that irisin levels decrease in obese individuals with OSA, correlating with the severity of the condition. Additionally, irisin levels may act as an independent predictor for OSA. The predictive value of irisin in identifying severe OSA among obese patients suggests its potential as a promising biomarker.

We sought to determine if individuals with higher body fat, measured by hip circumference (HC) and waist circumference (WC), are at risk for chronic pain when they demonstrate higher expression of inflammatory markers. We investigated the incidence and severity of pain in patients with varying WC/HC and inflammatory markers (C-Reactive Protein, IL-6, leptin) using the NIH-sponsored All of Us Database. For each inflammatory marker and sex, participants were divided into four groups based on combinations of normal/high marker levels and small/large WC/HC. We used statistical analysis to compare WC/HC and pain severity (mean NRS pain score) between groups of the same sex. In females, but not males, combinations of elevated CRP with large WC/HC exerted additive effects on the incidence of chronic pain (p < 0.01) and severe pain (p < 0.001), as well as on the severity of pain evaluated by the mean NRS pain score (p < 0.01). This relationship held true for females with high IL-6 or leptin and large WC or HC (p < 0.001 for chronic pain and severe pain incidence, and p < 0.05 for pain severity). Neither IL-6 nor leptin showed any significant impact on pain in males. Obesity status and CRP exert additive prognostic effects for chronic pain in females, but not in males. The concomitant evaluation of other inflammatory factors, such as IL-6 or leptin in females, may further augment the prediction of chronic pain. PERSPECTIVE: This article investigates the relationship between chronic pain, obesity, and inflammatory markers. It could help elucidating sex difference in pain mechanisms, as well as the risk factors for chronic pain, potentially improving patient diagnosis, follow-up and treatment.

In this article, we analyzed the duodenal microbiome and serum biomarkers in subjects with normal weight, overweight, and obesity. + + METHODS: Duodenal aspirates and serum samples were obtained from subjects undergoing standard-of-care esophagogastroduodenoscopy without colon preparation. Aspirate DNAs were analyzed by 16S rRNA and shotgun sequencing. Predicted microbial metabolic functions and serum levels of metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers were also assessed. + + RESULTS: Subjects with normal weight (N = 105), overweight (N = 67), and obesity (N = 42) were identified. Overweight-specific duodenal microbial features include lower relative abundance (RA) of Bifidobacterium species and Escherichia coli strain K-12 and higher Lactobacillus intestinalis , L. johnsonii , and Prevotella loescheii RA. Obesity-specific features include higher Lactobacillus gasseri RA and lower L. reuteri (subspecies rodentium ), Alloprevotella rava , and Leptotrichia spp RA. Escalation features (progressive changes from normal weight through obesity) include decreasing Bacteroides pyogenes , Staphylococcus hominis , and unknown Faecalibacterium species RA, increasing RA of unknown Lactobacillus and Mycobacterium species, and decreasing microbial potential for biogenic amines metabolism. De-escalation features (direction of change altered in normal to overweight and overweight to obesity) include Lactobacillus acidophilus , L. hominis , L. iners , and Bifidobacterium dentium . An unknown Lactobacillus species is associated with type IIa dyslipidemia and overweight, whereas Alloprevotella rava is associated with type IIb and IV dyslipidemias. + + DISCUSSION: Direct analysis of the duodenal microbiome has identified key genera associated with overweight and obesity, including some previously identified in stool, e.g., Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus . Specific species and strains exhibit differing associations with overweight and obesity, including escalation and de-escalation features that may represent targets for future study and therapeutics.

Exercise training is an essential component of lifestyle modification and has been shown to ameliorate insulin resistance by reducing body fat mass and by enhancing skeletal muscle mitochondrial biogenesis and insulin-independent glucose uptake. Additionally, exercising stimulates the release of exerkines such as metabolites or cytokines, but also long non-coding RNA, microRNAs, cell-free DNA (cf-DNA), and extracellular vesicles (EVs), which contribute to inter-tissue communication. There is emerging evidence that EV number and content are altered in obesity and T2DM and may be involved in several metabolic processes, specifically either worsening or improving insulin resistance. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the metabolic effects of exercise training and on the potential role of humoral factors and EV as new biomarkers for early diagnosis and tailored treatment of T2DM.

Black patients in the United States, when compared to their White and Hispanic counterparts, have higher rates of preeclampsia. This article aims to review the current literature to investigate how race, social determinants of health, and genetic profiles influence the prevalence and outcomes of patients with preeclampsia. Published studies utilized in this review were identified through PubMed using authors' topic knowledge and a focused search through a Medline search strategy. These articles were thoroughly reviewed to explore the contributing biosocial factors, genes/biomarkers, as well as negative outcomes associated with disparate rates of preeclampsia. Increased rates of contributing comorbidities, including hypertension and obesity, which are largely associated with low access to care in Black patient populations lead to disparate rates of preeclampsia in this population. Limited research shows an association between increased rate of preeclampsia in Black patients and specific APOL1, HLA-G, and PP13 gene polymorphisms as well as factor V Leiden mutations. Further research is required to understand the use of certain biomarkers in predicting preeclampsia within racial populations. Understanding contributing biosocial factors and identifying genes that may predispose high-risk populations may help to address the disparate rates of preeclampsia in Black patients as described in this review. Further research is required to understand if serum, placental, or urine biomarkers may be used to predict individuals at risk of developing preeclampsia in pregnancy. KEY POINTS: . Prevalence of preeclampsia in the U.S. is higher in Black patients compared to other racial groups.. . Patients with preeclampsia are at risk for poorer health outcomes both during and after delivery.. . Limited research suggests specific biomarkers or gene polymorphisms contribute to this difference; however, explanations for this disparity are multifactorial and further investigation is necessary..

Agonism for endogenously expressed receptors was investigated in insulinoma cells (MIN6) for mouse GLP-1R, and in rat primary hepatocytes for the GCGR. In vivo potencies to engage the GLP-1R or GCGR were determined, measuring improvement in oral glucose tolerance (30 nmol/kg) and increase in plasma fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21) and liver nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) mRNA expression (100 nmol/kg), respectively. Body weight- and glucose-lowering efficacies were investigated in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice and diabetic db/db mice, respectively. + + RESULTS: Upon acute dosing in lean mice, target engagement biomarkers for the GCGR and GLP-1R demonstrated a significant correlation (Spearman correlation coefficient with p < 0.05) to the in vitro GCGR and GLP-1R potencies for the 19 dual agonists investigated. Survodutide, BI 456908 and BI 456897 were selected for in-depth pharmacological profiling based on the significant improvement in acute oral glucose tolerance achieved (area under the curve [AUC] of 54%, 57% and 60% vs. vehicle) that was comparable to semaglutide (AUC of 45% vs. vehicle), while showing different degrees of in vivo GCGR engagement, as determined by hepatic NNMT mRNA expression (increased by 15- to 17-fold vs. vehicle) and plasma FGF21 concentrations (increased by up to sevenfold vs. vehicle). In DIO mice, survodutide (30 nmol/kg/once daily), BI 456908 (30 nmol/kg/once daily) and BI 456897 (10 nmol/kg/once daily) achieved a body weight-lowering efficacy from baseline of 25%, 27% and 26%, respectively. In db/db mice, survodutide and BI 456908 (10 and 20 nmol/kg/once daily) significantly lowered glycated haemoglobin (0.4%-0.6%); no significant effect was observed for BI 456897 (3 and 7 nmol/kg/once daily). + + CONCLUSIONS: Survodutide was selected as the clinical candidate based on its balanced dual GCGR/GLP-1R pharmacology, engaging the GCGR for robust body weight-lowering efficacy exceeding that of selective GLP-1R agonists, while achieving antidiabetic efficacy that was comparable to selective GLP-1R agonism. Survodutide is currently being investigated in Phase 3 clinical trials in people living with obesity. Copyright © 2024 Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co KG.

Fatty acid binding protein-1 (FABP-1) is a marker specific to certain tissues and can aid in diagnosing NAFPD. However, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of NAFPD among obese and non-obese people with and without diabetes mellitus (DM). Additionally, it aimed to evaluate the associated risk factors for NAFPD and the utility of the FABP-1 level as a simple, non-invasive biomarker for diagnosing NAFPD. + + METHODS: This study is a prospective cross-sectional study. + + RESULTS: Ninety-five patients were enrolled in the study, comprising 35 males and 60 females, with a mean age of 44 years and a standard deviation (SD) of 11 years. However, 26.3 % were morbidly obese, 22.1 % were severely obese, 31.6 % were obese, 12.6 % were overweight, and 7.4 % were normal. Additionally, 35.8 % had diabetes mellitus, while 26.3 % of patients had hypertension. Regarding the ultrasonographic findings, 94.7 % of the patients had fatty liver, with the majority (41.1 %) classified as grade II, followed by 38.9 % classified as grade I, and 14.7 % classified as grade III fatty liver. Among these patients, 78.9 % had fatty pancreas, with 38.9 % classified as grade II, 31.6 % classified as grade I, and 8.4 % classified as grade III fatty pancreas. The median FABP-1 level among patients with fatty pancreas was 3.3 ng/ml, which exhibited a significant fair negative correlation with total bilirubin and a fair, positive correlation with alkaline phosphatase and portal vein diameter. A statistically substantial distinction was observed between the levels of AFABP-1 and the presence or grading of the fatty pancreas (p-value = 0.048 and < 0.001, respectively). Using multivariate analysis, FABP-1 was the only significant predictor of a fatty pancreas. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that at a cut-off point of FABP-1 of <= 3.7, it had a sensitivity of 58 %, specificity of 80 %, positive predictive value (PPV) of 96.6 %, negative predictive value (NPV) of 17 %, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.77. + + CONCLUSION: NAFPD is becoming an increasingly significant challenge. FABP-1 can potentially be a straightforward and non-invasive predictor of the fatty pancreas. Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS.

This was a cross-sectional study with 140 women: metabolically healthy obese women (n = 35), metabolically unhealthy obese women (n = 28), and normal-weight women (n = 77). We have calculated the body mass index, waist-hip ratio, waist-height ratio and some adiposity indices. Additionally, we evaluated endocrine-metabolic parameters and estimated the dietary intake of energy, macronutrients, zinc, selenium, and magnesium. The mineral concentrations in plasma, erythrocytes, and urine were assessed. In obese patients, there was a significant decrease in dietary zinc, selenium, and magnesium intake per kilogram of body weight, as well as lower mineral concentrations in both plasma and erythrocytes. Additionally, these patients exhibited higher urinary mineral levels compared to the control group, regardless of whether they had healthy or unhealthy phenotypes. We observed a significant correlation between deficiencies in zinc, selenium, and magnesium and obesity-associated metabolic disorders, including dyslipidemias and redox status disturbances. This study highlights a connection between deficiencies in zinc, selenium, and magnesium and metabolic disorders linked to obesity, including dyslipidemias, alterations in redox status, and thyroid hormonal dysfunction.

It is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Because of the huge number of patients at risk of MASLD, it is imperative to use non-invasive tests appropriately. + + AIMS: To provide a narrative review on the performance and limitations of non-invasive tests, with a special emphasis on the impact of diabetes and obesity. + + METHODS: We searched PubMed and Cochrane databases for articles published from 1990 to August 2023. + + RESULTS: Abdominal ultrasonography remains the primary method to diagnose hepatic steatosis, while magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction is currently the gold standard to quantify steatosis. Simple fibrosis scores such as the Fibrosis-4 index are well suited as initial assessment in primary care and non-hepatology settings to rule out advanced fibrosis and future risk of liver-related complications. However, because of its low positive predictive value, an abnormal test should be followed by specific blood (e.g. Enhanced Liver Fibrosis score) or imaging biomarkers (e.g. vibration-controlled transient elastography and magnetic resonance elastography) of fibrosis. Some non-invasive tests of fibrosis appear to be less accurate in patients with diabetes. Obesity also affects the performance of abdominal ultrasonography and transient elastography, whereas magnetic resonance imaging may not be feasible in some patients with severe obesity. + + CONCLUSIONS: This article highlights issues surrounding the clinical application of non-invasive tests for MASLD in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.

The current umbrella meta-analysis aimed to assess the present evidence and provide an accurate estimate of the overall effects of resveratrol on the anthropometric indices and inflammatory markers. + + METHOD: The Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases were searched till March 2023. The meta-analysis was performed utilizing a random-effects model. Moreover, the overall strength and quality of the evidence were assessed using the GRADE tool. + + RESULTS: The results from 19 meta-analyses investigating 81 unique randomized controlled trials with 4088 participants revealed that resveratrol supplementation reduced the body mass index (ES = - 0.119, 95% CI (- 0.192, - 0.047), p = 0.001), waist circumference (ES = - 0.405, 95% CI [- 0.664, - 0.147], p = 0.002), serum levels of C-reactive protein (ES = - 0.390, 95% CI [- 0.474, - 0.306], p < 0.001), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (ES = - 0.455, 95% CI [- 0.592, - 0.318], p < 0.001) in comparison to the control group. The effects of resveratrol on body weight and Interleukin-6 levels of participants were not significant. However, resveratrol administration significantly decreased body weight in trials with intervention duration >= 12 weeks [ES = - 0.160, 95% CI (- 0.268, - 0.052)] and supplement dosage >= 500 mg/day [ES = - 0.130, 95% CI (- 0.238, - 0.022)]. + + CONCLUSION: The findings suggest the beneficial effects of resveratrol supplementation on reducing general and central obesity, as well as decreasing some inflammatory markers. Nevertheless, further high-quality research is required to prove these achievements and also evaluate resveratrol's effects on other inflammatory markers. Copyright © 2024.

The study was conducted by retrieving data from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CNKI and only including Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) to examine the effect of different exercise interventions on intermediate disease markers in overweight and obese people. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Cochrane Bias Risk Assessment tool and the data was analyzed using Stata 15.1 data analysis software. The RCTs were collected from January 2017 to March 2024. A total of 56 RCTs were included and the results of 10 outcomes were analyzed using random effects meta-analysis. The total sample size used in the study was 3193 The results showed that resistance training significantly reduced total cholesterol (SUCRA: 99.9%), triglycerides (SUCRA: 100.0%), low-density lipoprotein (SUCRA: 100.0%), systolic pressure (SUCRA: 92.5%), and increased high-density lipoprotein (SUCRA: 100.0%). Aerobic exercise significantly reduced insulin (SUCRA: 89.1%) and HbA1c (SUCRA: 95.3%). Concurrent training significantly reduced HOMA-IR (SUCRA: 93.8%), diastolic blood pressure (SUCRA: 71.2%) and Glucose (SUCRA: 87.6%). Exercise has a significant impact on intermediate disease markers in populations with overweight and obese. Compared with no exercise, exercise lowers total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, HOMA-IR, insulin, and HbA1c, and increases HDL in people with overweight and obese. These findings provide evidence-based recommendations for exercise interventions aimed at weight reduction and the prevention of chronic diseases in individuals with overweight and obese.

In this context, gamma-Glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) have shown correlations with steatosis severity and metabolic syndrome, respectively. This positions the GGT/HDL-C ratio as a potential diagnostic indicator for NAFLD. + + OBJECTIVE: To assess the diagnostic performance of the GGT/HDL-C ratio for NAFLD in adults with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery. + + METHODS: We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study, designed as a diagnostic test evaluation. A secondary database of 249 adults with obesity was analyzed. The optimal cut-off point was ascertained using three methodologies, and five adjustment models were constructed for the total population, further stratified by sex. + + RESULTS: The optimal cut-off point was 20.5 U/mmol and the AUC of the ratio was 0.81 (95% CI: 0.64-0.98), with sensitivity and specificity being 82.5% and 77.8%, respectively. In the overall group with an elevated GGT/HDL-C ratio, the prevalence of NAFLD increased by 14% (PR: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.04-1.33). Specifically, women displaying this altered ratio showed a 19% increased prevalence (PR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.07-1.42) compared to those with normal values. + + CONCLUSIONS: The GGT/HDL-C ratio is a promising biomarker for the diagnosis of NAFLD in an adult population living with obesity.

HFpEF diagnosis is particularly challenging in the setting of obesity given the limitations of natriuretic peptides and resting echocardiography. We examined invasive and noninvasive HFpEF diagnostic criteria among individuals with obesity and dyspnea without known cardiovascular disease to determine the prevalence of hemodynamic HFpEF in the community. + + METHODS: Research volunteers with dyspnea and obesity underwent resting echocardiography; participants with possible pulmonary hypertension qualified for invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing. HFpEF was defined using rest or exercise pulmonary capillary wedge pressure criteria (>=15 mm Hg or DELTApulmonary capillary wedge pressure/DELTAcardiac output slope, >2.0 mm Hg.L-1.min-1). + + RESULTS: Among n=78 participants (age, 53+/-13 years; 65% women; body mass index, 37.3+/-6.8 kg/m2), 40 (51%) met echocardiographic criteria to undergo invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing. In total, 24 participants (60% among the cardiopulmonary exercise testing group, 31% among the total sample) were diagnosed with HFpEF by rest or exercise pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (n=12) or exercise criteria (n=12). There were no differences in NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; 79 [62-104] versus 73 [57-121] pg/mL) or resting echocardiography (mitral E/e' ratio, 9.1+/-3.1 versus 8.0+/-2.7) among those with versus without HFpEF (P>0.05 for all). Distributions of HFpEF diagnostic scores were similar, with the majority classified as intermediate risk (100% versus 93.75% [H2FPEF] and 87.5% versus 68.75% [HFA-PEFF (Heart Failure Association Pretest assessment, echocardiography and natriuretic peptide, functional testing, and final etiology)] in those with versus without HFpEF). + + CONCLUSIONS: Among adults with obesity and dyspnea without known cardiovascular disease, at least a third had clinically unrecognized HFpEF uncovered on invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Clinical, biomarker, resting echocardiography, and diagnostic scores were similar among those with and without HFpEF. These results suggest clinical underdiagnosis of HFpEF among individuals with obesity and dyspnea and highlight limitations of noninvasive testing in the identification of HFpEF. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (pro-brain natriuretic peptide (1-76)). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.1161%2fCIRCHEARTFAILURE.123.011366 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Kosyakovsky&issn=1941-3289&title=Circulation%3A+Heart+Failure&atitle=Uncovering+Unrecognized+Heart+Failure+With+Preserved+Ejection+Fraction+Among+Individuals+With+Obesity+and+Dyspnea.&volume=17&issue=5&spage=e011366&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.1161%2FCIRCHEARTFAILURE.123.011366&pmid=38742409&sid=OVID:medline + +<36> +Unique Identifier + 38664310 +Title + Obesity-related inflammatory protein signature in cardiovascular clinical outcomes: results from the Gutenberg Health Study. +Source + Obesity. 32(6):1198-1209, 2024 Jun. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Panova-Noeva M; Koeck T; Schoelch C; Schulz A; Prochaska JH; Michal M; Strauch K; Schuster AK; Lackner KJ; Munzel T; Hennige AM; Wild PS +Author NameID + Panova-Noeva, Marina; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2155-8030 +Authors Full Name + Panova-Noeva, Marina; Koeck, Thomas; Schoelch, Corinna; Schulz, Andreas; Prochaska, Jurgen H; Michal, Matthias; Strauch, Konstantin; Schuster, Alexander K; Lackner, Karl J; Munzel, Thomas; Hennige, Anita M; Wild, Philipp S. +Institution + Panova-Noeva, Marina.

The OIPS was selected by a logistic regression model, and its association with cardiovascular outcomes was evaluated by Cox regression analysis. The GHS-derived OIPS was externally validated in the MyoVasc study. + + RESULTS: The identified OIPS entailed 21 proteins involved in chemokine activity, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor binding, and growth factor receptor binding. The signature revealed a novel positive association of axis inhibition protein 1 with obesity. The OIPS was associated with increased risk of all-cause and cardiac deaths, major adverse cardiovascular events, and incident coronary artery disease, independent of clinical covariates and established risk instruments. A BMI-stratified analysis confirmed the association of OIPS with increased death in those with obesity and overweight and with increased risk for coronary artery disease in those with obesity. The association of OIPS with increased risk of all-cause and cardiac deaths was validated in the MyoVasc cohort. + + CONCLUSIONS: The OIPS showed a significant association with adverse clinical outcomes, particularly in those with overweight and obesity, and represents a promising tool for identifying patients at higher risk for worse cardiovascular outcomes.

Maternal inflammation may play a role in adverse outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine whether providing a higher dose of antioxidant micronutrients to pregnant women with obesity would raise concentrations of key antioxidant vitamins and impact inflammation and oxidative stress during pregnancy. + + SUBJECTS/METHODS: This was a double-blind, randomized controlled trial. We recruited pregnant women with a body mass index (BMI) >= 30 kg/m2 at their initial prenatal visit ( < 13 weeks gestation) and collected blood and urine samples at baseline, 24-28 weeks, and 32-36 weeks to measure micronutrient concentrations (vitamin C, E, B6 and folate), markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, 8, and 1beta) and oxidative stress (8-epi-PGF2alpha and malondialdehyde). We collected maternal and infant health data from enrollment to delivery as secondary outcomes. We enrolled 128 participants (64 in each arm), and 98 (49 in each arm) completed follow-up through delivery. + + INTERVENTION: Both groups received a standard prenatal vitamin containing the recommended daily allowance of micronutrients in pregnancy. In addition, the intervention group received a supplement with 90 mg vitamin C, 30 alphaTU vitamin E, 18 mg vitamin B6, and 800 mug folic acid, and the control group received a placebo. + + RESULTS: The intervention group had higher vit B6 (log transformed (ln), beta 24-28 weeks: 0.76 nmol/L (95% CI: 0.40, 1.12); beta 32-36 weeks: 0.52 nmol/L (95% CI: 0.17, 0.88)) than the control group. Vitamins C, E, erythrocyte RBC folate concentrations did not differ by randomization group. The intervention did not impact biomarkers of inflammation or oxidative stress. There were no differences in maternal or neonatal clinical outcomes by randomization group. + + CONCLUSIONS: Higher concentrations of antioxidant vitamins during pregnancy increased specific micronutrients and did not impact maternal inflammation and oxidative stress, which may be related to dosing or type of supplementation provided. + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinical Trial Identification Number: NCT02802566; URL of the Registration Site: www. + + CLINICALTRIALS: gov .

Early and very early diagnosis at the stage of molecular pathology may eventually offer an opportunity for early therapeutic intervention that may retard and prevent future damage. Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is a non-collagenous extracellular matrix protein that promotes the secretion and aggregation of collagen and contributes to the stability of the extracellular matrix. There are contradictory literature data and currently, the parameter is used only for scientific purposes and its significance is not well-determined. The serum level of COMP in patients with metabolic type OA of the knee has not been evaluated. The aim of the study was to analyze serum COMP levels in metabolic knee OA and controls with different BMI. Our results showed that the mean COMP values were significantly higher in the control group (1518.69 +/- 232.76 ng/mL) compared to the knee OA patients (1294.58 +/- 360.77 ng/mL) (p = 0.0012). This may be related to the smaller cartilage volume in OA patients. Additionally, COMP levels negatively correlated with disease duration (p = 0.04). The COMP level in knee OA with BMI below 30 kg/m2 (n = 61, 1304.50 +/- 350.60 ng/mL) was higher compared to cases with BMI >= 30 kg/m2 (n = 76, 1286.63 +/- 370.86 ng/mL), but the difference was not significant (p = 0.68). Whether this finding is related to specific features in the evolution of the metabolic type of knee OA remains to be determined. Interestingly, comparison of COMP levels in the controls with different BMI revealed significantly higher values in overweight and obese individuals (1618.36 +/- 203.76 ng/mL in controls with BMI >= 25 kg/m2, n = 18, 1406.61 +/- 216.41 ng/mL, n = 16; p = 0.0092). Whether this finding is associated with increased expression of COMP in the adipose tissue or with more intensive cartilage metabolism in relation to higher biomechanical overload in obese patients, considering the earlier development of metabolic type knee OA as an isolated finding, remains to be determined. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein). 0 (COMP protein, human). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fijms25105263 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Lambova&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Cartilage+Oligomeric+Matrix+Protein+in+Osteoarthritis+and+Obesity-Do+New+Considerations+Emerge%3F.&volume=25&issue=10&spage=5263&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fijms25105263&pmid=38791302&sid=OVID:medline + +<39> +Unique Identifier + 38307453 +Title + Alterations in nonesterified free fatty acid trafficking rather than hyperandrogenism contribute to metabolic health in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome. +Source + Fertility & Sterility. 121(6):1040-1052, 2024 Jun. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ezeh U; Chen YI; Pall M; Buyalos RP; Chan JL; Pisarska MD; Azziz R +Authors Full Name + Ezeh, Uche; Chen, Yd Ida; Pall, Marita; Buyalos, Richard P; Chan, Jessica L; Pisarska, Margareta D; Azziz, Ricardo. +Institution + Ezeh, Uche.

Subjects with MUO-PCOS and MHO-PCOS did not differ in mean age, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, HA, and lipoprotein levels. By a modified frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test, eight women with MUO-PCOS had lesser Si, KNEFA, and the percent suppression in plasma NEFA levels from baseline to nadir (%NEFAsupp) and greater TIMEnadir, NEFAnadir, and baseline adipose tissue IR index (Adipo-IR) than eight subjects with MHO-PCOS, but similar fasting NEFA levels and SNEFA. Women with MUO-PCOS had a higher homeostasis model of assessment-beta% and fasting insulin levels than women with MHO-PCOS. In bivalent analysis, Si correlated strongly and negatively with Adipo-IR and NEFAnadir, weakly and negatively with TIMEnadir, and positively with KNEFA and %NEFAsupp, in women with MUO-PCOS only. + + CONCLUSION: Independent of age and BMI, women with MUO-PCOS have reduced NEFA uptake and altered insulin-mediated NEFA suppression, but no difference in HA, compared with women with MHO-PCOS. Altered insulin-mediated NEFA suppression, rather than HA or lipolysis rate, contributes to variations in insulin sensitivity among obese women with PCOS.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between TyG-BMI and hypertension in the general population. + + METHODS: A total of 60,283 adults aged >=18 years who underwent face-to-face questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory examination were included in this study. Multivariable logistic regression models and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were used to determine the association between TyG-BMI and hypertension. The restricted cubic spline model was used for the dose-response analysis. + + RESULTS: After fully adjusting for confounding variables, multivariate logistic regression model showed a stable positive association between TyG-BMI and hypertension (OR: 1.61 per SD increase; 95% CI: 1.55-1.67; P-trend < 0.001). The multivariate adjusted OR and 95% CI for the highest TyG-BMI quartile compared with the lowest quartile were 2.52 (95% CI 2.28-2.78). Dose-response analysis using restricted cubic spline confirmed that the association between TyG-BMI index and hypertension was linear. Subgroup analyses showed that stronger associations between TyG-BMI index and hypertension were detected in young and middle-aged individuals (P for interaction < 0.05). ROC analysis showed that TyG-BMI index could better predict the risk of hypertension than other parameters (TyG-BMI cut-off value: 207.105, AUC: 0.719, sensitivity 65.5%, specificity 66.8%), particularly among young and middle-aged people. + + CONCLUSION: The TyG-BMI index was independently associated with hypertension in the study population. Further studies are required to confirm this relationship. Copyright © 2024.

We aimed to investigate the associations of dietary Mn intake with incident VTE, and the underlying mediating roles of obesity markers (body mass index [BMI] and waist circumference), hemorheological parameters (red cell distribution width [RDW], platelet count [PLT], and mean platelet volume [MPV]), and inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein [CRP] and white blood cell count [WBC]) in this association. + + METHODS: A total of 202,507 adults from the UK Biobank with complete dietary data and without VTE at baseline were included. Dietary information was collected by the online 24-hour diet recall questionnaires (Oxford WebQ). The primary outcome was incident VTE, a composite of incident deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). + + RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 11.6 years, 4,750 participants developed incident VTE. Overall, there were significantly inverse relationships of dietary Mn intake with incident VTE (per 1 mg/day increment; adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.90-0.95), incident DVT (per 1 mg/day increment; adjusted HR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0. 90-0.96), and incident PE (per 1 mg/day increment; adjusted HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.88-0.95). BMI, waist circumference, RDW, CRP, and WBC significantly mediated the association between dietary Mn intake and incident VTE, with the mediated proportions of 36.0, 36.5, 4.2, 4.3, and 1.6%, respectively. However, MPV and PLT did not significantly mediate the association. + + CONCLUSION: Our study shows that dietary Mn intake was inversely associated with incident VTE. The inverse association was mainly mediated by obesity, followed by inflammatory biomarkers and RDW. Our findings are just hypothesis-generating, and further confirmation of our findings in more studies is essential. Copyright Thieme.

Promoting physical activity and healthy eating are critical for rural residents; however, lack of resources and access barriers limit the feasibility of in-person lifestyle interventions. There is a need to design and deliver remotely accessible lifestyle interventions in this population. This pilot study examined the effect of a telephone-based lifestyle intervention on weight, body composition, lipids, and inflammatory biomarkers among rural Ohio residents. Rural Ohio adults with overweight/obesity (n = 40) were 2:1 randomized to a 15-week telephone-based lifestyle intervention (n = 27) or control group (n = 13). The lifestyle intervention group received weekly telephone counseling sessions emphasizing healthy eating and increasing physical activity. The control group received educational brochures describing physical activity and dietary recommendations. Weight, body composition, fasting blood lipids, and inflammatory biomarkers were objectively measured at baseline and 15 weeks at local community centers (trial registration#: NCT05040152 at ClinicalTrial.gov). Linear mixed models were used to examine change over time by group. Participants were mostly female, with an average age of 49 years. Over the 15-week trial, the lifestyle intervention showed superior improvements in total cholesterol ( = -18.7 +/- 7.8 mg/dL, p = 0.02) and LDL ( = -17.1 +/- 8.1 mg/dL, p = 0.04) vs. control, whereas no significant between-group differences in weight, body composition, or inflammation were observed. Our findings suggest that a 15-week telephone-based lifestyle intervention may offer metabolic benefits that reduce disease risk in rural adults with obesity. Future large-scale studies are needed to determine the efficacy of remotely accessible lifestyle interventions in rural populations, with the goal of reducing obesity-related disparities. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Randomized Controlled Trial.

We aimed to examine the independent relationship between diabetes and iron after controlling for body weight (or obesity) in women aged 20-49 years. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2015 to 2018 were used in this investigation. Body composition data, HbAc1, iron biomarkers (serum ferritin (SF), soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), and body iron index (BII)), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean hemoglobin concentration (MCH), red cell distribution width (RDW), and hemoglobin were used. Linear regression models were used to examine how and to what extent body mass index (BMI) modified the relationship between diabetes and iron status biomarkers. A total of 1834 women aged 20-49 were included in the analysis with a mean (SD) age of 32 .2 +/- 6.1 years and BMI of 29.5 +/- 6.9 kg/m2. The mean SF (p = 0.014) and BII (p < 0.001) were lower, while sTfR (p < 0.001) was higher in women with diabetes than those with no diabetes. Mean estimates for MCV and MCH were lower, while RDW (p = 0.001) was higher in diabetes patients (all p < 0.001). Women with diabetes were more likely to have iron deficiency, anemia, and iron deficiency anemia than those without diabetes (18.1% vs 8.6%, p < 0.001), (24.4% vs 8.4%, p < 0.001), and (14.8% vs 5.2%, p < 0.001), respectively. Among women with obesity, those with diabetes had lower predicted ferritin (beta = -0.19, p = 0.016), BII (beta = -0.99, p = 0.016), and hemoglobin (beta = -0.27, p = 0.042) than those without diabetes. The study shows that diabetes is linked to lower iron stores; this is exacerbated in those with obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

The aim of the present study was to determine whether treated hypothyroid subjects and healthy subjects with a low-normal TSH range (0.3-2.3 mIU/L) have better clinical outcomes and increased energy expenditure than those with a high-normal TSH range (2.3-4.3 mIU/L). + + METHODS: This was a case-control study of 160 overweight/obese women with TSH levels across the reference range of 0.3-4.3 mU/l. Subjects were paired in four groups: healthy subjects with low-normal target TSH (n = 40), healthy subjects with high-normal target TSH (n = 40), subjects with treated hypothyroidism with low-normal target TSH (n = 40), and subjects with treated hypothyroidism with high-normal target TSH (n = 40). Resting energy expenditure (RMR), dietary intake, body composition, physical activity, and biochemical markers were assessed. + + RESULTS: Subjects with low-normal (<=2.3 mU/L) and high-normal (>2.3 mU/L) TSH levels did not differ in terms of RMR, serum T3 levels, and clinical symptoms except fatigue (P = 0.013). However, serum fT4 levels were found to be significantly different between the study groups (P = 0.002). Serum fT4 concentration was the highest in subjects with treated hypothyroidism with low-normal target TSH. + + CONCLUSION: Variation in serum TSH levels within the reference range did not significantly affect REE and clinical symptoms except fatigue in healthy and women with hypothyroidism.

AF frequently develops in the context of underlying cardiac abnormalities. A critical mechanistic role played by atrial stretch is played by abnormal substrates in a number of conditions that predispose to AF, including obesity, heart failure, hypertension, and sleep apnea. The significant role of overweight and obesity in the development of AF is known; however, the differential effect of overweight, obesity, cardiovascular comorbidities, lifestyle, and other modifiable risk factors on the occurrence and recurrence of AF remains to be determined. Reverse remodeling of the atrial substrate and subsequent reduction in the AF burden by conversion into a typical sinus rhythm has been associated with weight loss through lifestyle changes or surgery. This makes it an essential pillar in the management of AF in obese patients. According to recently published research, microRNAs (miRs) may function as post-transcriptional regulators of genes involved in atrial remodeling, potentially contributing to the pathophysiology of AF. The focus of this review is on their modulation by both weight loss and catheter ablation interventions to counteract atrial remodeling in AF. Our analysis outlines the experimental and clinical evidence supporting the synergistic effects of weight loss and catheter ablation (CA) in reversing atrial electrical and structural remodeling in AF onset and in recurrent post-ablation AF by attenuating pro-thrombotic, pro-inflammatory, pro-fibrotic, arrhythmogenic, and male-sex-associated hypertrophic remodeling pathways. Furthermore, we discuss the promising role of miRs with prognostic potential as predictive biomarkers in guiding approaches to AF recurrence prevention. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Although hyperandrogenism may contribute to telomere lengthening, increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with telomere erosion. We sought to compare leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in PCOS women with normal, overweight, and obese BMI. We evaluated the relationship between LTL and clinical variables of PCOS and inflammatory biomarkers independent of BMI. A total of 348 women (243 PCOS and 105 non-PCOS) were evaluated for anthropometric measures, total testosterone, androstenedione, estradiol (E2), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), free androgen index (FAI), fasting insulin and glycemia, lipid profile, homocysteine, C-reactive protein (CRP) and homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). LTL was measured by qPCR. The PCOS group presented higher weight, waist circumference, BMI, testosterone, LH, fasting insulin, FAI, and HOMA-IR, and lower E2, SHBG, and fasting glycemia measures compared with the non-PCOS. When stratified by BMI, LTL was increased in all subgroups in PCOS compared to non-PCOS. However, in the PCOS group, LTL was lower in overweight (P = 0.0187) and obese (P = 0.0018) compared to normal-weight women. The generalized linear model showed that BMI, androstenedione, homocysteine, and CRP were associated with telomere biology. Women with PCOS had longer LTL, however, overweight or obesity progressively contributes to telomere shortening and may affect reproductive outcomes of PCOS, while androstenedione may increase LTL.

We aimed to investigate the fasting and stimulated levels of GDF15, total and H-specific, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and C-peptide, in two physiology interventional studies: one focusing on obesity, and the other on MASLD. + + METHODS: Study 1 investigated individuals with normal weight or with obesity, undergoing a 3-h mixed meal test (MMT); and study 2, examined adults with MASLD and controls undergoing a 120-min oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Exploratory correlations of total and H-specific GDF15 with clinical, hormonal and metabolomic/lipidomic parameters were also performed. + + RESULTS: In study 1, 15 individuals were included per weight group. Fasting and postprandial total and H-specific GDF15 were similar between groups, whereas GIP was markedly higher in leaner individuals and was upregulated following a MMT. Baseline and postprandial C-peptide were markedly elevated in people with obesity compared with lean subjects. GIP was higher in leaner individuals and was upregulated after a MMT, while C-peptide and its overall AUC after a MMT was markedly elevated in people with obesity compared with lean subjects. In study 2, 27 individuals were evaluated. Fasting total GDF15 was similar, but postprandial total GDF15 levels were significantly higher in MASLD patients compared to controls. GIP and C-peptide remained unaffected. The postprandial course of GDF15 was clustered among those of triglycerides and molecules of the alanine cycle, was robustly elevated under MASLD, and constituted the most notable differentiating molecule between healthy and MASLD status. We also present robust positive correlations of the incremental area under the curve of total and H-specific GDF15 with a plethora of lipid subspecies, which remained significant after adjusting for confounders. + + CONCLUSION: Serum GDF15 levels do not differ in relation to weight status in hyperlipidemic but otherwise metabolically healthy individuals. In contrast, GDF15 levels are significantly increased in MASLD patients at baseline and they remain significantly higher compared to healthy participants during OGTT, pointing to a role for GDF15 as a mitokine with important roles in the pathophysiology and possibly therapeutics of MASLD.

A 124-item food-frequency-questionnaire (FFQ) and food composition databases were employed to estimate carotenoid intake. Binary logistic regressions assessed the association of carotenoid intake with the odds of overweight/obesity, adjusting for several potential confounders. Multiple linear regression models revealed associations between carotenoid intake and biomarkers (anthropometrics, blood lipids, inflammation, antioxidant status). Logistic regression models adjusted for various confounders and fruits and vegetables showed protective associations for provitamin A carotenoids (i.e., beta-carotene + alpha-carotene + beta-cryptoxanthin; odds ratio (OR): 0.655, p = 0.041) and astaxanthin (OR: 0.859, p = 0.017). Similarly adjusted multiple linear regressions revealed significant associations between several carotenoids and lower levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha and increased IL-10 and total antioxidant capacity. Further analysis revealed that lycopene was significantly associated with increased odds of overweight/obesity (OR: 1.595, p = 0.032) in a model adjusted for various confounders and vegetables (i.e., unadjusted for fruits). A protective association between the sum of provitamin A carotenoid and astaxanthin dietary intake and the odds of having overweight/obesity was found. The findings that carotenoids other than lycopene were not or inversely associated with the odds of overweight/obesity may point toward differentiating effects of various carotenoids or their associations with different food groups. Provitamin A rich food items including fruits and vegetables appear to be a prudent strategy to reduce inflammation and the odds of having overweight/obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (alpha-carotene). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.1039%2fd3fo05648a +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Koos&issn=2042-6496&title=Food+%26+Function&atitle=Protective+effect+of+provitamin+A+dietary+carotenoid+intake+on+overweight%2Fobesity+and+their+relation+to+inflammatory+and+oxidative+stress+biomarkers+-+a+case-control+study.&volume=15&issue=10&spage=5510&epage=5526&date=2024&doi=10.1039%2Fd3fo05648a&pmid=38690968&sid=OVID:medline + +<49> +Unique Identifier + 38750109 +Title + A study of the relationship between serum asprosin levels and MAFLD in a population undergoing physical examination. +Source + Scientific Reports. 14(1):11170, 2024 05 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Lv D; Wang Z; Meng C; Li Y; Ji S +Authors Full Name + Lv, Dan; Wang, Zepu; Meng, Cuiqiao; Li, Yan; Ji, Shuai. +Institution + Lv, Dan.

Here, the correlation between asprosin and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) was examined by quantitatively assessing hepatic steatosis using transient elastography and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP). According to body mass index (BMI), 1276 adult participants were enrolled and categorized into three groups: normal, overweight, and obese. The study collected and evaluated serum asprosin levels, general biochemical indices, liver stiffness measure, and CAP via statistical analysis. In both overweight and obese groups, serum asprosin and CAP were greater than in the normal group (p < 0.01). Each group showed a positive correlation of CAP with asprosin (p < 0.01). The normal group demonstrated a significant and independent positive relationship of CAP with BMI, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), asprosin, waist circumference (WC), and triglycerides (TG; p < 0.05). CAP showed an independent positive association (p < 0.05) with BMI, WC, asprosin, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and TG in the overweight group, and with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) showed an independent negative link (p < 0.01). CAP showed an independent positive relationship (p < 0.05) with BMI, WC, asprosin, TG, LDL-C, FBG, glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and alanine transferase in the obese group. CAP also showed an independent positive link (p < 0.01) with BMI, WC, asprosin, TG, LDL-C, and FBG in all participants while independently and negatively correlated (p < 0.01) with HDL-C. Since asprosin and MAFLD are closely related and asprosin is an independent CAP effector, it may offer a novel treatment option for metabolic diseases and MAFLD. Copyright © 2024.

However, the patterns of GDF15 levels in underweight or obese patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are not well-understood. + + METHODS: We assessed serum GDF15 levels at baseline and 3 years and the temporal changes in 940 Japanese patients (642 paired samples), as a sub-analysis of the SUPPORT trial (age 65.9 +/- 10.1 years). The GDF15 levels were analyzed across BMI groups (underweight [<18.5 kg/m2; n = 50], healthy weight [18.5-22.9; n = 27 5], overweight [23-24.9; n = 234], and obese [>=25; n = 381]), following WHO recommendations for the Asian-Pacific population. Landmark analysis at 3 years assessed the association between GDF15 levels and HF hospitalization or all-cause death. + + RESULTS: Compared to the healthy weight group, the underweight group included more females (54.0%) with advanced HF (NYHA class III; 20.0%) and exhibited increased GDF15 level (1764 pg/mL [IQR 1067-2633]). Obese patients, younger (64.2 years) and diabetic (53%), had a similar GDF15 level to the healthy weight group. A higher baseline GDF15 level was associated with worse outcomes across the BMI spectrum. GDF15 increased by 208 [21-596] pg/mL over 3 years, with the most substantial increase observed in the underweight group (by +28.9% [6.2-81.0]). Persistently high GDF15 levels (>=1800 pg/mL) was independently associated with worse outcomes after 3 years (adjusted HR 1.8 [95%CI 1.1-2.9]). + + CONCLUSIONS: In underweight patients with CHF, GDF15 level was elevated at baseline and experienced the most significant increase over 3 years. Its consistent elevation suggested a worse outcome. Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier B.V. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (GDF15 protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Our measures included (1) body mass index and waist circumference as measures of adiposity; (2) handgrip as a measure of muscle strength; (3) short physical performance battery as a measure of physical function; (4) interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor II, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, C-X-C motif chemokine 10, and C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand 1 also known as fractalkine as senescence-associated secretory phenotype chemokines; and (5) free testosterone, estradiol, sex hormone-binding globulin, and dehydroepiandrosterone as sex hormones. Quantile regression analyses were used to identify relationships among inflammatory markers and hormones with age, adiposity, handgrip, and physical function. + + RESULTS: Overall, 74% (n = 111) of participants were classified as overweight or obese and 53.3% (n = 80) presented with abdominal obesity. After controlling for age and sex, body mass index was positively associated with estradiol (beta = 0.043, P < 0.01), and waist circumference was positively associated with high sensitivity C-reactive protein (beta = 2.151, P < 0.01). After controlling for sex, age was positively associated with C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (beta = 0.024, P = 0.03) and tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor II (beta = 2.205, P = 0.01). After controlling for age and sex, short physical performance battery was negatively associated with dehydroepiandrosterone (beta = -0.004, P = 0.01); no statistically significant associations were observed for handgrip. + + CONCLUSION: Adiposity levels and aging were associated with inflammation (ie, C-X-C motif chemokine 10, tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor II, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein) among people with HIV aged 40 years and older.

Therefore, the primary objective of the current investigation was to examine and clarify the association between metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF) and erectile dysfunction. + + METHODS: Firstly, multivariate logistic regression analysis, smoothed curve fitting, and threshold effect analysis were employed to investigate the association between METS-VF and erectile dysfunction. Mediation analysis was also performed to evaluate the mediating role of homocysteine and inflammation. After that, subgroup analysis was carried out to examine the stability of the correlation of METS-VF with erectile dysfunction in various population settings. Furthermore, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm were utilized to assess the capability of identifying METS-VF in comparison to the other four obesity-related indicators in identifying erectile dysfunction. + + RESULTS: After adjusting for all confounding factors, METS-VF was strongly and favourablely correlated with erectile dysfunction. With each additional unit rise in METS-VF, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction increased by 141%. A J-shaped relationship between METS-VF and erectile dysfunction was discovered through smoothed curve fitting. Marital status, physical activity, and smoking status can potentially modify this association. This finding of the ROC curve suggests that METS-VF had a powerful identifying capacity for erectile dysfunction (AUC = 0.7351). Homocysteine and inflammation mediated 4.24% and 2.81%, respectively. + + CONCLUSION: The findings of the current investigation suggest that METS-VF can be considered a dependable identifying indicator of erectile dysfunction.

Obesity-mediated loss of WAT homeostasis can trigger liver steatosis through dysregulated lipid pathways such as those related to polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-derived oxylipins. However, the exact relationship between oxylipins and metabolic syndrome remains elusive and cross-tissue dynamics of oxylipins are ill-defined. + + METHODS: We quantified PUFA-related oxylipin species in the omental WAT, liver biopsies and plasma of 88 patients undergoing bariatric surgery (female N = 79) and 9 patients (female N = 4) undergoing upper gastrointestinal surgery, using UPLC-MS/MS. We integrated oxylipin abundance with WAT phenotypes (adipogenesis, adipocyte hypertrophy, macrophage infiltration, type I and VI collagen remodelling) and the severity of MASLD (steatosis, inflammation, fibrosis) quantified in each biopsy. The integrative analysis was subjected to (i) adjustment for known risk factors and, (ii) control for potential drug-effects through UPLC-MS/MS analysis of metformin-treated fat explants ex vivo. + + FINDINGS: We reveal a generalized down-regulation of cytochrome P450 (CYP)-derived diols during obesity conserved between the WAT and plasma. Notably, epoxide:diol ratio, indicative of soluble epoxide hydrolyse (sEH) activity, increases with WAT inflammation/fibrosis, hepatic steatosis and T2DM. Increased 12,13-EpOME:DiHOME in WAT and liver is a marker of worsening metabolic syndrome in patients with obesity. + + INTERPRETATION: These findings suggest a dampened sEH activity and a possible role of fatty acid diols during metabolic syndrome in major metabolic organs such as WAT and liver. They also have implications in view of the clinical trials based on sEH inhibition for metabolic syndrome. + + FUNDING: Wellcome Trust (PS3431_WMIH); Duke-NUS (Intramural Goh Cardiovascular Research Award (Duke-NUS-GCR/2022/0020); National Medical Research Council (OFLCG22may-0011); National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (Z01 ES025034); NIHR Imperial Biomedical Research Centre.

Their effect is attributed to the change in energy substrate that stimulates ketogenic pathways that can metabolically overload the liver. However, little has been studied about the impact of lipid sources prioritized in the LCHF diet. + + OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the impact of different fat sources in the LCHF diet on markers of liver injury, oxidative stress, and epigenetics in obesity. + + METHODS: Adult male mice were initially induced to obesity by a high-fat and high-sugar diet for 10 wk. Subsequently, they underwent a weight-loss treatment intervention involving an LCHF diet with various sources of fats, including saturated, omega-3 (omega-3) (n-3), omega-6 (omega-6) (n-6), and omega-9 (omega-9) (n-9). At the end of the treatment, markers of liver injury, oxidative stress, and epigenetics were evaluated. + + RESULTS: The LCHF diet was effective in inducing weight loss. However, unsaturated lipid sources (omegas) exhibited superior outcomes. Specifically, the omega-9 group displayed diminished oxidative stress concentrations and decreased markers of liver injury. The omega-3 group demonstrated efficacy in modulating epigenetic markers, thereby reducing oxidative stress, mutagenicity, and markers of liver injury.

Currently, there is limited evidence for ameliorating effects of combined lifestyle interventions on CLIP in type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether a 13-week combined lifestyle intervention, using hypocaloric diet and resistance exercise plus high-intensity interval training with or without consumption of a protein drink, affected CLIP in older adults with T2D. + + METHODS: In this post-hoc analysis of the PROBE study 114 adults (>=55 years) with obesity and type 2 (pre-)diabetes had measurements of C-reactive protein (CRP), pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, tumor-necrosis-factor (TNF)-alpha, and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10, IL-1 receptor antagonist (RA), and soluble tumor-necrosis-factor receptor (sTNFR)1, adipokines leptin and adiponectin, and glycation biomarkers carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) from fasting blood samples. A linear mixed model was used to evaluate change in inflammatory biomarkers after lifestyle intervention and effect of the protein drink. Linear regression analysis was performed with parameters of body composition (by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) and parameters of insulin resistance (by oral glucose tolerance test). + + RESULTS: There were no significant differences in CLIP responses between the protein and the control groups. For all participants combined, IL-1RA, leptin and adiponectin decreased after 13 weeks (p = 0.002, p < 0.001 and p < 0.001), while ratios TNF-alpha/IL-10 and TNF-alpha/IL-1RA increased (p = 0.003 and p = 0.035). CRP increased by 12 % in participants with low to average CLIP (pre 1.91 +/- 0.39 mg/L, post 2.13 +/- 1.16 mg/L, p = 0.006) and decreased by 36 % in those with high CLIP (pre 5.14 mg/L +/- 1.20, post 3.30 +/- 2.29 mg/L, p < 0.001). Change in leptin and IL-1RA was positively associated with change in fat mass (beta = 0.133, p < 0.001; beta = 0.017, p < 0.001) and insulin resistance (beta = 0.095, p = 0.024; beta = 0.020, p = 0.001). Change in lean mass was not associated with any of the biomarkers. + + CONCLUSION: 13 weeks of combined lifestyle intervention, either with or without protein drink, reduced circulating adipokines and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-1RA, and increased inflammatory ratios TNF-alpha/IL-10 and TNF-alpha/IL-1RA in older adults with obesity and T2D. Effect on CLIP was inversely related to baseline inflammatory status. Copyright © 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.

This study aimed to compare the levels of selected adipokines and cytokines in individuals with normal weight and obesity, assessing their potential for diagnosing MASLD and establishing a cutoff point for body fat content associated with hepatic steatosis development. The research involved 99 participants categorized by body mass index and MASLD presence, undergoing body composition analysis, liver elastography, biochemical tests, and evaluation of adipokines and cytokines in serum. The results indicated elevated IL-6 (interleukin 6) serum levels in individuals with obesity with MASLD compared to the normal-weight group without MASLD. The multivariate regression analysis demonstrated a connection between hepatic steatosis and total adipose tissue content, VAT (visceral adipose tissue), VAT/SAT (subcutaneous adipose tissue) ratio, HOMA-IR (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance), IL-6, Il-1beta (interleukin 1beta), and MMP-2 (matrix metalloproteinase 2). Among the adipokines and cytokines examined in this study, interleukin 6 was the strongest predictor of MASLD regardless of gender. In addition, an association between the development of hepatic steatosis and higher serum IL-1beta levels and higher adipose tissue was observed in women. However, further studies on a larger group of patients are needed to consider the use of these cytokines as markers of MASLD. The HOMA-IR index demonstrated potential diagnostic utility in identifying hepatic steatosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Interleukin-1beta). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fnu16091381 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Zysk&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Evaluation+of+the+Diagnostic+Utility+of+Selected+Serum+Adipokines+and+Cytokines+in+Subjects+with+MASLD-A+Pilot+Study.&volume=16&issue=9&spage=&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fnu16091381&pmid=38732626&sid=OVID:medline + +<57> +Unique Identifier + 38732557 +Title + Triglyceride to HDL Cholesterol Ratio for the Identification of MASLD in Obesity: A Liver Biopsy-Based Case-Control Study. +Source + Nutrients. 16(9), 2024 Apr 27. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Martinez-Montoro JI; Martinez-Sanchez MA; Balaguer-Roman A; Fernandez-Ruiz VE; Hernandez-Barcelo JE; Ferrer-Gomez M; Frutos MD; Nunez-Sanchez MA; Fernandez-Garcia JC; Ramos-Molina B +Author NameID + Martinez-Montoro, Jose Ignacio; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9761-6888 + Balaguer-Roman, Andres; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5297-0194 + Frutos, Maria Dolores; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2111-4715 + Nunez-Sanchez, Maria Angeles; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8938-2767 + Ramos-Molina, Bruno; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6804-5449 +Authors Full Name + Martinez-Montoro, Jose Ignacio; Martinez-Sanchez, Maria Antonia; Balaguer-Roman, Andres; Fernandez-Ruiz, Virginia Esperanza; Hernandez-Barcelo, Jose Emilio; Ferrer-Gomez, Mercedes; Frutos, Maria Dolores; Nunez-Sanchez, Maria Angeles; Fernandez-Garcia, Jose Carlos; Ramos-Molina, Bruno. +Institution + Martinez-Montoro, Jose Ignacio.

Previous studies have shown that the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio may be a surrogate marker of MASLD, assessed by liver ultrasound. However, no studies have evaluated the utility of this ratio according to biopsy-proven MASLD and its stages. Therefore, our aim was to evaluate if the TG/HDL-C ratio allows for the identification of biopsy-proven MASLD in patients with obesity. We conducted a case-control study in 153 patients with obesity who underwent metabolic surgery and had a concomitant liver biopsy. Fifty-three patients were classified as no MASLD, 45 patients as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver-MASL, and 55 patients as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis-MASH. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to assess the accuracy of the TG/HDL-C ratio to detect MASLD. We also compared the area under the curve (AUC) of the TG/HDL-C ratio, serum TG, and HDL-C. A higher TG/HDL-C ratio was observed among patients with MASLD, compared with patients without MASLD. No differences in the TG/HDL-C ratio were found between participants with MASL and MASH. The greatest AUC was observed for the TG/HDL-C ratio (AUC 0.747, p < 0.001) with a cut-off point of 3.7 for detecting MASLD (sensitivity = 70%; specificity = 74.5%). However, no statistically significant differences between the AUC of the TG/HDL-C ratio and TG or HDL-C were observed to detect MASLD. In conclusion, although an elevated TG/HDL-C ratio can be found in patients with MASLD, this marker did not improve the detection of MASLD in our study population, compared with either serum TG or HDL-C. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (Triglycerides). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fnu16091310 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Martinez-Montoro&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Triglyceride+to+HDL+Cholesterol+Ratio+for+the+Identification+of+MASLD+in+Obesity%3A+A+Liver+Biopsy-Based+Case-Control+Study.&volume=16&issue=9&spage=&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fnu16091310&pmid=38732557&sid=OVID:medline + +<58> +Unique Identifier + 38732147 +Title + A Nonlinear Relation between Body Mass Index and Long-Term Poststroke Functional Outcome-The Importance of Insulin Resistance, Inflammation, and Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-1. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 25(9), 2024 Apr 30. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Gadd G; Aberg D; Wall A; Zetterberg H; Blennow K; Jood K; Jern C; Isgaard J; Svensson J; Aberg ND +Author NameID + Aberg, Daniel; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0517-6331 + Wall, Alexander; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7683-160X + Aberg, N David; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1474-5666 +Authors Full Name + Gadd, Gustaf; Aberg, Daniel; Wall, Alexander; Zetterberg, Henrik; Blennow, Kaj; Jood, Katarina; Jern, Christina; Isgaard, Jorgen; Svensson, Johan; Aberg, N David. +Institution + Gadd, Gustaf.

Furthermore, IGFBP-1 is inversely related to BMI, in contrast to the linear relation between IR and BMI. Here, we investigated s-IGFBP-1 and IR concerning BMI and 7-year poststroke functional outcome. We included 451 stroke patients from the Sahlgrenska Study on Ischemic Stroke (SAHLSIS) with baseline measurements of s-IGFBP1, homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR), BMI (categories: normal-weight (8.5-25), overweight (25-30), and obesity (>30)), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) as a measure of general inflammation. Associations with poor functional outcome (modified Rankin scale [mRS] score: 3-6) after 7 years were evaluated using multivariable binary logistic regression, with overweight as reference due to the nonlinear relationship. Both normal-weight (odds-ratio [OR] 2.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.30-4.14) and obese (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.08-4.71) patients had an increased risk of poor functional outcome, driven by deaths only in the normal-weight. In normal-weight, s-IGFBP-1 modestly attenuated (8.3%) this association. In the obese, the association was instead attenuated by HOMA-IR (22.4%) and hs-CRP (10.4%). Thus, a nonlinear relation between BMI and poor 7-year functional outcome was differently attenuated in the normal-weight and the obese. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 1). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 0 (IGFBP1 protein, human). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin-Like Peptides). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fijms25094931 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Gadd&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=A+Nonlinear+Relation+between+Body+Mass+Index+and+Long-Term+Poststroke+Functional+Outcome-The+Importance+of+Insulin+Resistance%2C+Inflammation%2C+and+Insulin-like+Growth+Factor-Binding+Protein-1.&volume=25&issue=9&spage=4931&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fijms25094931&pmid=38732147&sid=OVID:medline + +<59> +Unique Identifier + 38732002 +Title + Examination of the Complex Molecular Landscape in Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 25(9), 2024 Apr 27. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Vadadokhau U; Varga I; Kaplar M; Emri M; Csosz E +Author NameID + Vadadokhau, Uladzislau; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3773-7746 + Varga, Imre; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3921-2521 + Csosz, Eva; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4373-2175 +Authors Full Name + Vadadokhau, Uladzislau; Varga, Imre; Kaplar, Miklos; Emri, Miklos; Csosz, Eva. +Institution + Vadadokhau, Uladzislau.

Our study integrates proteomics and metabolomics analyses to delineate the complex molecular landscapes associated with T2D and obesity. Leveraging data from 130 subjects, including individuals with T2D and obesity as well as healthy controls, we elucidate distinct molecular signatures and identify novel biomarkers indicative of disease progression. Our comprehensive characterization of cardiometabolic proteins and serum metabolites unveils intricate networks of biomolecular interactions and highlights differential protein expression patterns between T2D and obesity cohorts. Pathway enrichment analyses reveal unique mechanisms underlying disease development and progression, while correlation analyses elucidate the interplay between proteomics, metabolomics, and clinical parameters. Furthermore, network analyses underscore the interconnectedness of cardiometabolic proteins and provide insights into their roles in disease pathogenesis. Our findings may help to refine diagnostic strategies and inform the development of personalized interventions, heralding a new era in precision medicine and healthcare innovation. Through the integration of multi-omics approaches and advanced analytics, our study offers a crucial framework for deciphering the intricate molecular underpinnings of metabolic disorders and paving the way for transformative therapeutic strategies. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fijms25094781 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Vadadokhau&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Examination+of+the+Complex+Molecular+Landscape+in+Obesity+and+Type+2+Diabetes.&volume=25&issue=9&spage=4781&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fijms25094781&pmid=38732002&sid=OVID:medline + +<60> +Unique Identifier + 38731797 +Title + Investigating the Role of FABP4 in Diabetes and Obesity and the Influence of Age and Ethnicity: A Comprehensive Analysis of a Cohort from the KEDP-Study. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 25(9), 2024 Apr 23. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Abdalla MA; Abubaker J; Abu-Farha M; Al-Khairi I; Cherian P; Qaddoumi MG; Al-Rashed F; Thanaraj TA; Albatineh AN; Al-Mulla F +Author NameID + Abdalla, Mohammed A; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6016-3157 + Abubaker, Jehad; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0681-7305 + Abu-Farha, Mohamed; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8357-1252 + Al-Khairi, Irina; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3547-9926 + Al-Rashed, Fatema; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5825-7701 + Thanaraj, Thangavel Alphonse; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4574-5343 + Al-Mulla, Fahd; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5409-3829 +Authors Full Name + Abdalla, Mohammed A; Abubaker, Jehad; Abu-Farha, Mohamed; Al-Khairi, Irina; Cherian, Preethi; Qaddoumi, Mohammad G; Al-Rashed, Fatema; Thanaraj, Thangavel Alphonse; Albatineh, Ahmed N; Al-Mulla, Fahd. +Institution + Abdalla, Mohammed A.

Its primary role is to facilitate the transportation of fatty acids across cell membranes. Numerous studies have reported associations between FABP4 and the development of metabolic disorders. However, there is limited knowledge regarding FABP4 expression in diabetes and obesity, especially about different age groups, genders, and ethnicities. This study aims to investigate the association between FABP4 levels, diabetes mellitus, and obesity within various ethnic groups. We measured plasma FABP4 concentrations in a cohort of 2083 patients from the KDEP study and gathered anthropometric data. Additionally, we collected and analyzed clinical, biochemical, and glycemic markers using multivariate regression analysis. The average FABP4 concentration was significantly higher in female participants than in males (18.8 ng/mL vs. 14.4 ng/mL, p < 0.001, respectively), and in those over 50 years old compared to those under 50 years of age (19.3 ng/mL vs. 16.2 ng/mL, p < 0.001, respectively). In this study, significant positive associations were found between the plasma level of FABP4 and obesity markers: BMI (r = 0.496, p < 0.001), hip circumference (r = 0.463, p < 0.001), and waist circumference (WC) (r = 0.436, p < 0.001). Similar observations were also seen with glycemic markers, which included HbA1c (r = 0.126, p < 0.001), fasting blood glucose (FBG) (r = 0.184, p < 0.001), fasting insulin (r = 0.326, p < 0.001), and HOMA-IR (r = 0.333, p < 0.001). Importantly, these associations remained significant even after adjusting for age, gender, and ethnicity. Furthermore, FABP4 levels were negatively associated with male gender (beta: -3.85, 95% CI: -4.92, -2.77, p < 0.001), and positively associated with age (beta: 0.14, 95% CI: 0.096, 0.183, p < 0.001), BMI (beta: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.644, 0.836, p < 0.001), and fasting insulin (beta: 0.115, 95% CI: 0.091, 0.138, p < 0.001). In this study, plasma FABP4 levels were significantly higher in diabetic and obese participants, and they were strongly influenced by age, gender, and ethnicity. These findings suggest that FABP4 may serve as a valuable prognostic and diagnostic marker for obesity and diabetes, particularly among female patients, individuals over 50 years old, and specific ethnic groups. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Fatty Acid-Binding Proteins). 0 (FABP4 protein, human). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fijms25094578 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Abdalla&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Investigating+the+Role+of+FABP4+in+Diabetes+and+Obesity+and+the+Influence+of+Age+and+Ethnicity%3A+A+Comprehensive+Analysis+of+a+Cohort+from+the+KEDP-Study.&volume=25&issue=9&spage=4578&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fijms25094578&pmid=38731797&sid=OVID:medline + +<61> +Unique Identifier + 38716942 +Title + Evaluation of mucin-1, nuclear factor kappaB, and hemoglobin A1c levels in obese and non-obese individuals. +Source + Revista Da Associacao Medica Brasileira. 70(4):e20231214, 2024. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Fadiloglu M; Bozkurt AS; Akarsu E; Yilmaz SG; Sayiner ZA; Ulusal H +Author NameID + Fadiloglu, Mujde; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0009-0007-6326-3720 + Bozkurt, Ahmet Sarper; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-7293-0974 + Akarsu, Ersin; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-2786-6616 + Yilmaz, Senay Gorucu; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0523-7819 + Sayiner, Zeynel Abidin; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5105-0292 + Ulusal, Hasan; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-3890-2088 +Authors Full Name + Fadiloglu, Mujde; Bozkurt, Ahmet Sarper; Akarsu, Ersin; Yilmaz, Senay Gorucu; Sayiner, Zeynel Abidin; Ulusal, Hasan. +Institution + Fadiloglu, Mujde.

Obesity, which is a complex, multifactorial, and heterogeneous condition, is thought to result from the interaction of environmental, physiological, and genetic factors. In this study, the relationship between serum levels of hemoglobin A1c, mucin-1, and nuclear factor kappaB in obese and healthy cohorts was evaluated along with biochemical and gene expressions and with demographic and clinical covariates, and their effects on obesity were evaluated. + + METHODS: This case-control study included a total of 80 individuals, 40 healthy controls and 40 obesity patients, consisting of female and male aged between 18 and 63 years. Hemoglobin A1c, mucin-1, and nuclear factor kappaB levels were determined by ELISA in serum samples obtained from patients. In addition, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase, low density lipoprotein, and glucose values were measured. The gene expressions of the same markers were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and their regulation status was defined. + + RESULTS: Serum levels of hemoglobin A1c, mucin-1, and nuclear factor kappaB were found to be high in obese individuals (p<0.05). The gene expression of these serum markers was found to be upregulated. Of the anthropometric measurements, waist circumference and body mass index were correlated with both serum markers and gene expressions (p<0.05). + + CONCLUSION: In addition to the known association of hemoglobin A1c and nuclear factor kappaB with obesity, serum levels of mucin-1 as well as upregulation of genes point to its modifier effect on obesity. These parameters can be the powerful markers in the diagnosis of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin). 0 (NF-kappa B). 0 (Mucin-1). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.1590%2f1806-9282.20231214 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Fadiloglu&issn=0104-4230&title=Revista+Da+Associacao+Medica+Brasileira&atitle=Evaluation+of+mucin-1%2C+nuclear+factor+kappaB%2C+and+hemoglobin+A1c+levels+in+obese+and+non-obese+individuals.&volume=70&issue=4&spage=e20231214&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.1590%2F1806-9282.20231214&pmid=38716942&sid=OVID:medline + +<62> +Unique Identifier + 38156530 +Title + Increased body mass index is negatively associated with ovarian reserve as measured by anti-Mullerian hormone in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome. +Source + Clinical Obesity. 14(3):e12638, 2024 Jun. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kloos J; Perez J; Weinerman R +Author NameID + Kloos, Jacqueline; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9196-7887 +Authors Full Name + Kloos, Jacqueline; Perez, Jaime; Weinerman, Rachel. +Institution + Kloos, Jacqueline.

Although obesity is associated with decreased fertility, the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and AMH remains uncertain, hindering the accurate interpretation of AMH. We sought to assess the relationship between serum AMH and BMI in patients with and without polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). This study analysed 500 patients at a single centre between 2020 and 2021. Patients were divided into cohorts: those with BMI <40 kg/m2 and those with BMI >40 kg/m2. Patients with and without PCOS were included. Chi-square tests, Fisher's exact tests, multiple linear regression analysis and independent t-tests were performed as appropriate. In the general study population, serum AMH was not significantly different in the BMI >40 kg/m2 group compared to the BMI <40 kg/m2 group (4.3 +/- 5.6 vs. 4.3 +/- 5.6, p = .35). Patient ages between these two groups differed, with an average age of 35.4 +/- 5.4 years in the BMI <40 kg/m2 group and 33.7 +/- 5.4 years in the BMI <40 kg/m2 group (p = .031). Our multivariate regression analysis, which adjusted for age, demonstrated a significant interaction effect between BMI and PCOS diagnosis, indicating that the relationship between BMI and AMH is dependent on PCOS status (beta = -.03, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.05, 0.00, p = .044). In patients without PCOS, we found a non-significant relationship between AMH and BMI (beta = .00, 95% CI -0.01, 0.01, p = .7); however, in patients with PCOS, AMH significantly decreased as BMI increased (beta = -.03, 95% CI -0.06, 0.00, p = .034). BMI has an inverse association with AMH levels in patients with PCOS, indicating a need for future research to determine if that interaction represents a clinically significant negative effect on reproductive function.

Interactions between diet, adiposity, and gut microbiota modulate intestinal permeabilityand bacterial product translocation, and may contribute to the chronic inflammation process associated with the polycystic ovary syndrome. In the present study, we aimed to address the effects of obesity, functional hyperandrogenism, and diverse oral macronutrients on intestinal permeabilityby measuring circulating markers of gut barrier dysfunction and endotoxemia. Participants included 17 non-hyperandrogenic control women, 17 women with polycystic ovary syndrome, and 19 men that were submitted to glucose, lipid, and protein oral loads. Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, plasma soluble CD14, succinate, zonulin family peptide, and glucagon-like peptide-2 were determined at fasting and after oral challenges. Macronutrient challenges induced diverse changes on circulating intestinal permeabilitybiomarkers in the acute postprancial period, with lipids and proteins showing the most unfavorable and favorable effects, respectively. Particularly, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, zonulin family peptide, and glucagon-like peptide-2 responses were deregulated by the presence of obesity after glucose and lipid challenges. Obese subjects showed higher fasting intestinal permeabilitybiomarkers levels than non-obese individuals, except for plasma soluble CD14. The polycystic ovary syndromeexacerbated the effect of obesity further increasing fasting glucagon-like peptide-2, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, and succinate concentrations. We observed specific interactions of the polycystic ovary syndromewith obesity in the postprandial response of succinate, zonulin family peptide, and glucagon-like peptide-2. In summary, obesity and polycystic ovary syndromemodify the effect of diverse macronutrients on the gut barrier, and alsoinfluence intestinal permeabilityat fasting,contributing to the morbidity of functional hyperandrogenism by inducing endotoxemia and subclinical chronic inflammation.

The interaction between body mass index (BMI) and NT-proBNP with respect to heart failure risk remains incompletely defined. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Data were pooled across three randomized clinical trials enrolling predominantly patients who were overweight or obese with established cardiometabolic disease: SAVOR-TIMI 53, DECLARE-TIMI 58 and CAMELLIA-TIMI 61. Hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) was examined across strata of baseline BMI and NT-proBNP. The effect of dapagliflozin versus placebo was assessed for a treatment interaction across BMI categories in patients with or without an elevated baseline NT-proBNP (>=125 pg/ml). Among 24 455 patients, the median NT-proBNP was 96 (interquartile range [IQR]: 43-225) pg/ml and the median BMI was 33 (IQR 29-37) kg/m2, with 68% of patients having a BMI >=30 kg/m2. There was a significant inverse association between NT-proBNP and BMI which persisted after adjustment for all clinical variables (p < 0.001). Within any range of NT-proBNP, those at higher BMI had higher risk of HHF at 2 years (comparing BMI <30 vs. >=40 kg/m2 for NT-proBNP ranges of <125, 125-<450 and >=450 pg/ml: 0.0% vs. 0.6%, 1.3% vs. 4.0%, and 8.1% vs. 13.8%, respectively), which persisted after multivariable adjustment (adjusted hazard ratio [HRadj] 7.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.16-17.66, HRadj 3.22 [95% CI 2.13-4.86], and HRadj 1.87 [95% CI 1.35-2.60], respectively). In DECLARE-TIMI 58, dapagliflozin versus placebo consistently reduced HHF across BMI categories in those with an elevated NT-proBNP (p-trend for HR across BMI = 0.60), with a pattern of greater absolute risk reduction (ARR) at higher BMI (ARR for BMI <30 to >=40 kg/m2: 2.2% to 4.7%; p-trend = 0.059). + + CONCLUSIONS: The risk of HHF varies across BMI categories for any given range of circulating NT-proBNP. These findings showcase the importance of considering BMI when applying NT-proBNP for heart failure risk stratification, particularly for patients with low-level elevations in NT-proBNP (125-<450 pg/ml) where there appears to be a clinically meaningful absolute and relative risk gradient.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the TyG index and LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) in obese patients. + + METHODS: A total of 1028 obese patients from January 2019 to January 2024 were included in the present study. Clinical parameters and biochemical and echocardiographic data were obtained from the participants. LV GLS was obtained from the GE EchoPAC workstation for evaluating subclinical LV function. The TyG index was calculated as Ln (fasting TG [mg/dL] x fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2). LV GLS was compared between obese patients with a high TyG index and those with a low TyG index. + + RESULTS: Obese patients with a high TyG index had greater incidences of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidaemia. The LV GLS was significantly lower in the high TyG index group than in the low TyG index group (P = 0.01). After adjusting for sex, age, body mass index, heart rate, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, LV mass and LV hypertrophy, the TyG index remained an independent risk indicator related to an LV GLS < 20% (OR: 1.520, 95% CI: 1.040 to 2.221; P = 0.031). + + CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that an increase in the TyG index is independently associated with subclinical LV systolic dysfunction in obese patients.

This study aimed to assess the potential protective effects of purslane extract in male albino rats with induced arthritis and obesity. Fifty rats were randomly assigned to five groups: a control group, an induced arthritis-high-fat diet group, a high-dose purslane extract-supplemented group (300mg/kg body weight) for 8 weeks, a low-dose purslane extract-supplemented group (150mg/kg body weight) for 8 weeks, and a metformin-supplemented group. Arthritis was induced in the rats using Complete Freund's Adjuvant. Plasma biomarkers, including Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, C Reactive Protein (CRP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), Rheumatoid Factor (RF), and Anti-CCP, were assessed in each group. The results revealed a significant improvement in these biomarkers in the high-dose purslane-supplemented group (300mg/kg body weight) compared to the induced arthritis-high-fat-diet group. This suggests a potential protective role of purslane against arthritis associated with obesity, likely attributed to its lipolytic capacity and anti-inflammatory properties. These findings contribute to our understanding of the interplay between obesity, arthritis, and natural interventions, providing valuable insights for future therapeutic approaches.

The idea that iron dysregulation may contribute to various metabolic diseases, such as obesity, insulin resistance, MetS, and T2DM, is a hot topic of discussion. + + AIM: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship insulin resistance, iron status markers, and body weight in a sample of Egyptian population. + + METHODS: A case control study was conducted on 90 subjects with age ranging from 18 to 70 years old from a diabetes outpatient clinic, and they were divided to three groups: Group I, non-obese- non-diabetic as the control group; Group II, obese-non-diabetic; and Group III, obese-diabetic. + + RESULTS: In our study, there was no statistically significant difference between the three studied groups regarding the different iron parameters. Similarly, we found that neither HOMA-IR nor body weight had a significant correlation with iron status markers. On the contrary, we detected significant positive correlations between the TIBC and the fasting blood glucose, between the serum iron and the LDL, between the TSAT and the systolic blood pressure, and between the HOMA-IR and hematocrit. + + CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated no direct statistical significant relationship between the different iron parameters, obesity, and insulin resistance, either in the diabetic or non-diabetic subjects. This may be due to the complex metabolic dysregulation and the small number of the sample for future investigations.

Recent research has highlighted the impact of these conditions on bone health, with a particular focus on the role of sclerostin (SOST), a protein molecule integral to bone metabolism. Elevated circulating levels of SOST have been observed in patients with T2DM compared to healthy individuals. This study aims to examine the circulating levels of SOST in a multiethnic population living in Kuwait and to elucidate the relationship between SOST levels, obesity, T2DM, and ethnic background. The study is a cross-sectional analysis of a large cohort of 2083 individuals living in Kuwait. The plasma level of SOST was measured using a bone panel multiplex assay. The study found a significant increase in SOST levels in individuals with T2DM (1008.3 pg/mL, IQR-648) compared to non-diabetic individuals (710.6 pg/mL, IQR-479). There was a significant gender difference in median SOST levels, with males exhibiting higher levels than females across various covariates (diabetes, IR, age, weight, and ethnicity). Notably, SOST levels varied significantly with ethnicity: Arabs (677.4 pg/mL, IQR-481.7), South Asians (914.6 pg/mL, IQR-515), and Southeast Asians (695.2 pg/mL, IQR-436.8). Furthermore, SOST levels showed a significant positive correlation with gender, age, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, insulin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, ALT, and AST (p-Value >=0.05). South Asian participants, who exhibited the highest SOST levels, demonstrated the most pronounced associations, even after adjusting for age, gender, BMI, and diabetes status (p-Value >=0.05). The observed correlations of SOST with various clinical parameters suggest its significant role in the diabetic milieu, particularly pronounced in the South Asian population compared to other ethnic groups.

Body composition was measured by quantitative CT. Weight changes were compared between the MS and non-MS groups at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month post-LSG in all patients; changes in body compositions and metabolic biomarkers from one day pre-LSG to 12-month post-LSG were also compared in those 32 patients. + + RESULTS: MS occurred in 46% (35/76) of all patients and 44% (14/32) of patients with complete follow-up data. Excess weight loss was lower in the MS group than that in the non-MS group at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month post-LSG; the 12-month difference was significant (MS vs. non-MS: 0.91 +/- 0.22 vs. 1.07 +/- 0.42, P = 0.04). The greatest rate of visceral fat area (VFA) change occurred 12-month post-LSG in both the non-MS [0.62(0.55,0.7)] and MS [0.6(0.51,0.63)] groups. The most significant reduction in ectopic fat occurred in liver fat (LF) [non-MS, 0.45(0.22,0.58); MS, 0.39(0.23,0.58)]. + + CONCLUSION: LGS significantly improves weight, body composition, and metabolic biomarkers in populations with obesity, regardless of whether they have MS. Among the body composition, VFA and LF were the most significantly improved body composition measurements. Copyright © 2024.

However, the clinical relevance of these findings remains to be determined. Here, we tested whether GLP-1RA treatment affects circulating NAE levels and whether NAEs may predict the efficacy of GLP-1RA treatment in humans with obesity undergoing weight loss maintenance. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: We profiled plasma levels of NAEs in participants with obesity undergoing weight loss maintenance with (n = 23)/or without (n = 20) treatment with the GLP-1RA liraglutide. NAE levels were measured at three different time points: before the start of the study, at the end of the diet-induced weight loss, and after 52-weeks treatment. Linear regression analyses were used to investigate whether pharmacological responses could be predicted by NAEs levels. + + RESULTS: Liraglutide treatment reduced plasma concentrations of the NAE and oleoyl-ethanolamide (OEA), without altering arachidonoyl-ethanolamide (AEA) levels and palmitoyl-ethanolamide (PEA) levels. High pre-treatment levels of OEA were predictive of superior compound-mediated effects on fasting insulin and triglyceride levels. High pre-treatment PEA and AEA levels were also predictive of superior Liraglutide-mediated effects on triglyceride levels. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggests that specific NAEs such as OEA and AEA are promising biomarkers of GLP-1RA metabolic efficacy in humans with obesity during weight loss maintenance. Plasma profiling of EC-related molecules may be a promising strategy to tailor GLP-1R-based therapies to individual needs in obesity and diabetes management. Copyright © 2023.

Testosterone levels in men are affected by several factors, including obesity and DM. Although the relationship between diabetes and testosterone is not fully understood, oxidative stress is thought to play a major role. The aim of this study was to compare serum testosterone levels and oxidative stress markers [total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant capacity (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), and ischaemic modified albumin (IMA)] among the control group and experimentally induced obese, T1DM, and T2DM rats. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 28 male Sprague-Dawley rats divided into 4 groups: the obesity group were fed a high-fat diet (HFD), the T2DM group received a HFD plus a single dose of streptozocin (STZ), the T1DM group received only STZ, and there was a control group. Serum testosterone, TAS, TOS, OSI, and IMA were analysed. + + RESULTS: Serum testosterone levels were lower in the T1DM and T2DM groups compared to the control and obesity groups. The TOS levels were highest in the T2DM group, followed by the T1DM group, the obesity group, and finally the control group. No significant difference was found between the obesity group and the control group in terms of TOS levels. Regarding TAS levels, the order observed was control group > obesity group > T2DM > T1DM. Testosterone was positively correlated with TAS and negatively correlated with TOS and OSI. + + CONCLUSIONS: Increased oxidative stress in diabetes may be an important factor that decreases serum testosterone levels. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 3XMK78S47O (Testosterone). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.5603%2fep.98190 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ellidag&issn=0423-104X&title=Endokrynologia+Polska&atitle=Serum+testosterone+levels+and+oxidative+stress+in+type+1+diabetes%2C+type+2+diabetes%2C+and+obesity.&volume=75&issue=2&spage=183&epage=191&date=2024&doi=10.5603%2Fep.98190&pmid=38646988&sid=OVID:medline + +<72> +Unique Identifier + 38342069 +Title + Serum iron concentration and leptin inversely relate, partially mediated by body mass index in American adults. +Source + Nutrition Research. 124:1-12, 2024 Apr. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Chen M; Chen Y; Li C +Authors Full Name + Chen, Mi; Chen, Yuebai; Li, Chao. +Institution + Chen, Mi.

In this cross-sectional study, we hypothesized that serum iron markers associate with leptin, with body mass index (BMI) acting as a mediator, confounder, and effect modifier in this relationship. We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III, with a focus on serum iron markers and leptin. The relationship between serum iron markers and leptin was determined by multiple linear regression. The bootstrap method was used to investigate the mediating effect of BMI on this association. Among 3888 American adults, serum iron and transferrin saturation showed a negative association with leptin (log2-transformed) (beta: -0.010, 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.013 to -0.006, P < .001; beta: -0.006, 95% CI, -0.008 to -0.004, P < .001). Total iron-binding capacity was positively associated with the serum concentration of leptin (log2-transformed) (beta: 0.002, 95% CI, 0-0.004, P = .0292). Sex, BMI, and body fat percentage significantly influenced these associations. Notably, the association between the iron markers and leptin diminished in individuals with a BMI >=30 kg/m2. There was no observable relationship between leptin and serum ferritin concentrations. BMI mediated 4.81% of the serum iron-leptin association, with no mediation of body fat percentage. Our study identified a link between serum iron and leptin, with BMI as a mediating factor. In clinical settings, it is vital to understand how treatments targeting iron metabolism can directly impact serum leptin concentration and the subsequent physiological changes.

Studying novel biomarkers, some of which are associated with metabolic syndrome, can help us to understand the differences between metabolic health (MetH) and BMI. A group of 1469 young adults with pre-specified anthropometric and blood biochemical parameters were selected. Of these, 80 subjects were included in the downstream analysis that considered their BMI and MetH parameters for selection as follows: norm weight metabolically healthy (MHNW) or metabolically unhealthy (MUNW); overweight/obese metabolically healthy (MHOW) or metabolically unhealthy (MUOW). Our results showed for the first time the differences when the MetH status and the BMI are considered as global MetH statures. First, all the evaluated miRNAs presented a higher expression in the metabolically unhealthy group than the metabolically healthy group. The higher levels of leptin, IL-1b, IL-8, IL-17A, miR-221, miR-21, and miR-29 are directly associated with metabolic unhealthy and OW/OB phenotypes (MUOW group). In contrast, high levels of miR34 were detected only in the MUNW group. We found differences in the SIRT1-PGC1alpha pathway with increased levels of SIRT1+ cells and diminished mRNA levels of PGCa in the metabolically unhealthy compared to metabolically healthy subjects. Our results demonstrate that even when metabolic diseases are not apparent in young adult populations, MetH and BMI have a distinguishable phenotype print that signals the potential to develop major metabolic diseases.

The mechanisms underlying these effects are however still not completely known. Herein we explore the effect of liraglutide on markers of immune cell activity in a population of obese individuals with prediabetes or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus. + + METHOD: Plasma levels of the monocyte/macrophage markers, soluble (s)CD163 and sCD14, the neutrophil markers myeloperoxidase (MPO) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL),the T-cell markers sCD25 and T-cell immunoglobulin mucin domain-3 (sTIM-3) and the inflammatory marker TNF superfamily (TNFSF) member 14 (LIGHT/TNFSF14) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in obese individuals with prediabetes or diabetes diagnosed within the last 12 months, prior to and after comparable weight loss achieved with lifestyle changes (n = 20) or liraglutide treatment (n = 20), and in healthy subjects (n = 13). + + RESULTS: At baseline, plasma levels of the macrophage marker sCD163, and the inflammatory marker LIGHT were higher in cases as compared to controls. Plasma levels of sCD14, NGAL, sTIM-3 and sCD25 did not differ at baseline between patients and controls. After weight reduction following lifestyle intervention or liraglutide treatment, sCD163 decreased significantly in the liraglutide group vs. lifestyle (between-group difference p = 0.023, adjusted for visceral adipose tissue and triglycerides basal values). MPO and LIGHT decreased significantly only in the liraglutide group (between group difference not significant). Plasma levels of MPO and in particular sCD163 correlated with markers of metabolic dysfunction and inflammation. After weight loss, only sCD163 showed a trend for decreased levels during OGTT, both in the whole cohort as in those of liraglutide vs lifestyle group. + + CONCLUSION: Weight loss following treatment with liraglutide was associated with reduced circulating levels of sCD163 when compared to the same extent of weight loss after lifestyle changes. This might contribute to reduced cardiometabolic risk in individuals receiving treatment with liraglutide. Copyright © 2024.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between obesity with PAB, hs-CRP, and uric acid in the Iranian population. + + METHODS: This study was derived from the Mashhad Stroke and Heart Atherosclerotic Disorder (MASHAD) study. A total of 7985 subjects aged 35 to 65 years were divided into three groups according to body mass index (BMI) as: normal, overweight and obese groups. Anthropometric indices and biochemical parameters such as PAB, superoxide dismutase type 1 (SOD1), hs-CRP, and uric acid were measured in all the participants. We evaluated the association of obesity with inflammatory factors by using multivariate regression analysis. Also, those participants with hypertension, an endocrine disorder, history of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus were excluded from the study. + + RESULTS: There was a positive significant correlation between BMI and serum PAB, hs-CRP and uric acid (p < 0.001). While no statistically significant relation was observed between BMI and SOD1 (p = 0.85). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the risk of overweight and obesity increased 1.02 and 1.03-fold according to increase 10 units of PAB raise in comparison to reference group (normal weight) [(odds ratio (OR): 1.02, 95% CI (1.01-1.03)] and [OR: 1.03, 95% CI (1.01-1.04)], respectively). In addition, hs-CRP serum concentration was significantly associated with a high risk of obesity [(OR: 1.02; 95% CI (1.01-1.03)]. While the high levels of serum uric acid were associated with increased odds of overweight and obesity risk [OR: 1.4; CI (1.39-1.58) and OR: 1.76; CI (1.63-1.89), respectively]. + + CONCLUSIONS: Generally, we showed a significant association between BMI and serum PAB, hs-CRP values and uric acid levels, suggesting the role of these factors as risk stratification factors for obesity.

Obesity produces a pro-inflammatory state, affecting directly the normal regulation of iron, causing ferritin (FER) deficiency. FER is used as the only indicator of the status of iron in patients with obesity, so the majority of them would be underdiagnosed, leading to a high prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) and anemia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic tests: transferrin saturation (TS), FER, and C-reactive protein (CRP) vs. FER with the objective of analyzing the most accurate variable for the diagnosis of ID. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: We present a cross-sectional, analytical, and retrospective study, evaluating the diagnostic tests in 96 patients, to whom two methods were applied for the diagnosis of ID: method 1 (FER < 30 ng/mL) and method 2 divided into 2A (FER < 30 ng/mL), 2B (FER 30-100 ng/mL + CRP >= 5 mg/L), 2C (FER 100-300 ng/mL + CRP >= 5 mg/L + TS < 20%), and 2D (TS < 20%). + + RESULTS: The prevalence of ID obtained using method 1 was 30.2% while 69.8% presented ID using total method 2, confirming an underdiagnosis of 39.6%. + + CONCLUSION: The inflammatory state in patients with obesity must be considered in the diagnosis of ID. The use of TS, FER, and CRP has greater validity than the use of serum FER for the diagnosis of ID in patients with obesity. Copyright © 2024.

This is considered as a precondition for the development of obesity, inflammation, and obesity-related disorders. Therefore, we studied HFD-induced changes in the tissue levels of the inflammatory markers C-reactive protein, serum amyloid-A, and interleukin-4 in healthy male Wistar rats. The animals were first divided at random into two groups subjected to either a standard or a high-fat diet. The initial effect of the diet was evaluated after fourteen weeks. In order to study the diet duration effect, the standard diet was given to twelve animals from the HFD group, while the remaining continued with the HFD for an additional four weeks. Our results showed that the HFD barely affected body mass index, conicity, relative fat mass, and Lee indices, whereas it provoked adipocyte hypertrophy and gradually increased the levels of both the pro- and anti-inflammatory markers. The switch from the high-fat to the standard diet resulted in the comparatively fast restoration of the baseline levels of the studied molecules. Although, the prolonged consumption of an HFD causes adipocyte hypertrophy in healthy male animals, the inflammatory process in VAT is well-coordinated, time-dependent, and reversible. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 0 (Serum Amyloid A Protein). 207137-56-2 (Interleukin-4). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fnu16081184 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Dimitrov&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Diet-Induced+Early+Inflammatory+Response+of+Visceral+Adipose+Tissue+in+Healthy+Male+Wistar+Rats.&volume=16&issue=8&spage=&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fnu16081184&pmid=38674875&sid=OVID:medline + +<80> +Unique Identifier + 38369640 +Title + Prepregnancy weight loss and maternal metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers during pregnancy: An analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. +Source + Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology Research. 50(5):809-820, 2024 May. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Yu Y; Ma Q; Groth S +Author NameID + Yu, Yang; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3635-1139 +Authors Full Name + Yu, Yang; Ma, Qianheng; Groth, Susan. +Institution + Yu, Yang.

However, the obstetrical implications of prepregnancy weight loss have been minimally examined. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between prepregnancy weight loss and maternal metabolic and inflammatory profiles during a subsequent pregnancy. + + METHODS: This study was a retrospective analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (2003-2018). Participants were women who were pregnant at the time of assessment. Prepregnancy weight loss was described as percent weight change based on self-reported baseline (1 year before pregnancy) and prepregnancy weight. Metabolic (e.g., blood pressure [BP]) and inflammatory biomarkers (i.e., high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP]) were determined by standard medical tests. Statistical analyses included linear regressions with appropriate imputation, weighting, and variance estimation techniques. + + RESULTS: Participants (N = 236) reported a mean percent weight loss of 4.6% (standard error [SE] = 0.3%) during the year before pregnancy. Regression models showed that prepregnancy weight loss was inversely associated with levels of total cholesterol (beta = -1.24, p = 0.01), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (beta = -0.79, p < 0.01), and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (beta = -0.18, p < 0.01). The effect of prepregnancy weight loss on BP, insulin sensitivity, and hs-CRP was not significant, although there was a trend toward higher levels of diastolic BP (beta = 0.24, p = 0.07) and hs-CRP (beta = 0.10, p = 0.08). + + CONCLUSIONS: This study found favorable changes in lipid profiles following prepregnancy weight loss. Due to limitations such as a relatively small sample size, self-reported weight measures, and missing data on several outcome variables, future studies are needed to confirm study findings.

Weight reduction can reverse myocardial remodelling and reduce risk of subsequent cardiovascular disease. In cats, far less is known regarding the effects of obesity and subsequent weight reduction on cardiovascular morphology and function. This prospective study aimed to assess cardiac morphology and function, heart rate variability, cardiac biomarkers and body composition before and after controlled weight reduction in cats with obesity. Body composition analysis (by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, DEXA) and cardiovascular assessment (echocardiography, systemic arterial systolic blood pressure, electrocardiography, plasma cardiac biomarkers) were performed prior to weight management in twenty cats with obesity. These investigations were repeated in eleven cats that reached target weight. + + RESULTS: At baseline, systemic hypertension was not documented, but the majority of cats with obesity (15 out of 19) showed echocardiographic evidence of diastolic dysfunction. Eleven of 20 cats had increased maximal end-diastolic septal or left ventricular free wall thickness (>= 6.0 mm) at baseline. Median (interquartile range) percentage of weight lost in the cats reaching target weight was 26% (17-29%), with a median reduction in body fat mass of 45% (26-64%). Both the end-diastolic left ventricular free wall (median magnitude of change -0.85 mm, IQR -0.05 mm to -1.55 mm, P = 0.019; median percentage reduction 14.0%) and end-diastolic interventricular septum (median magnitude of change -0.5 mm, IQR -0.2 mm to -1.225 mm, P = 0.047; median percentage reduction 7.9%) thickness decreased after weight reduction. Following weight reduction, pulsed wave tissue Doppler imaging of the left ventricular free wall was consistent with improved diastolic function in 4 out of 8 cats, however there was no significant difference in overall diastolic function class. Further, there was no change in heart rate variability or cardiac biomarkers with weight reduction. + + CONCLUSION: An increase in left ventricular wall thickness and diastolic dysfunction were common echocardiographic features in cats with obesity within our study and may be reversible with successful weight and fat mass loss. Further studies are required to clarify the clinical consequences of these findings. Copyright © 2024.

However, research on the association between obesity and an altered cortisol metabolism remains controversial. + + Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hair cortisol levels and overweight and obesity in participants from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). + + Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 2,499 participants from the second follow-up (visit 3, 2017-2019) attending research centers in Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul states. Hair samples were collected, and cortisol levels were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Cortisol levels were classified as low (< 40 pg/mg), medium (40-128 pg/mg), or high (> 128 pg/mg). The participants were classified as eutrophic, overweight, or obese according to their weight (kg) and height (m2). Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were estimated. + + Results: Of the 2499 individuals, 30% had eutrophic weight, 40% were overweight, and 30% were obese. Notably, cortisol levels gradually increased with increasing body weight. Among participants with high hair cortisol levels, 41.2% were classified as overweight and 34.2% as obese. Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that participants with high cortisol levels were 43% (OR =1.43; 95%CI: 1.02-2.03) more likely to be overweight and 72% (OR =1.72; 95%CI:1.20-2.47) more likely to be obese than participants with low hair cortisol levels. After adjustment for all covariates, high cortisol levels remained associated with obesity (OR = 1.54; 95%CI:1.02-2.31) and overweight (OR =1.33; 95%CI:0.91-1.94). + + Conclusion: In the ELSA-Brazil cohort, hair stress were positively associated with overweight and obesity. These results underscore the importance of considering stress and cortisol as potential factors in obesity prevention and intervention efforts, and highlight a novel aspect of the complex relationship between stress and obesity in the Brazilian population.

Epidemiological studies have compellingly linked HFD consumption to obesity and the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Moreover, the synergistic interplay of HFD, obesity, and diabetes expedites the aging process and prematurely fosters age-related diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms driving these associations remain enigmatic. One of the most conspicuous hallmarks of aging is the accumulation of highly inflammatory senescent cells, with mounting evidence implicating increased cellular senescence in the pathogenesis of age-related diseases. Our hypothesis posits that HFD consumption amplifies senescence burden across multiple organs. To scrutinize this hypothesis, we subjected mice to a 6-month HFD regimen, assessing senescence biomarker expression in the liver, white adipose tissue, and the brain. Aging is intrinsically linked to impaired cellular stress resilience, driven by dysfunction in Nrf2-mediated cytoprotective pathways that safeguard cells against oxidative stress-induced senescence. To ascertain whether Nrf2-mediated pathways shield against senescence induction in response to HFD consumption, we explored senescence burden in a novel model of aging: Nrf2-deficient (Nrf2+/-) mice, emulating the aging phenotype. Our initial findings unveiled significant Nrf2 dysfunction in Nrf2+/- mice, mirroring aging-related alterations. HFD led to substantial obesity, hyperglycemia, and impaired insulin sensitivity in both Nrf2+/- and Nrf2+/+ mice. In control mice, HFD primarily heightened senescence burden in white adipose tissue, evidenced by increased Cdkn2a senescence biomarker expression. In Nrf2+/- mice, HFD elicited a significant surge in senescence burden across the liver, white adipose tissue, and the brain. We postulate that HFD-induced augmentation of senescence burden may be a pivotal contributor to accelerated organismal aging and the premature onset of age-related diseases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (NF-E2-Related Factor 2). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fnu16070952 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Balasubramanian&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Accelerated+Aging+Induced+by+an+Unhealthy+High-Fat+Diet%3A+Initial+Evidence+for+the+Role+of+Nrf2+Deficiency+and+Impaired+Stress+Resilience+in+Cellular+Senescence.&volume=16&issue=7&spage=&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fnu16070952&pmid=38612986&sid=OVID:medline + +<84> +Unique Identifier + 38599666 +Title + Overnutrition is a risk factor for iron, but not for zinc or vitamin A deficiency in children and young people: a systematic review and meta-analysis. +Source + BMJ Global Health. 9(4), 2024 Apr 09. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Tan X; Tan PY; Gong YY; Moore JB +Author NameID + Tan, Xiaomian; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8299-1439 + Tan, Pui Yee; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-1281-4928 + Gong, Yun Yun; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4927-5526 + Moore, J Bernadette; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4750-1550 +Authors Full Name + Tan, Xiaomian; Tan, Pui Yee; Gong, Yun Yun; Moore, J Bernadette. +Institution + Tan, Xiaomian.

Risk of bias assessment was conducted using the American Dietetic Association Quality Criteria Checklist. Where possible, random effects restricted maximum likelihood meta-analyses were performed. + + RESULTS: After screening, 83 observational studies involving 190 443 participants from 44 countries were identified, with many studies having reported on more than one micronutrient and/or weight status indicator. Iron was the most investigated micronutrient, with 46, 28 and 27 studies reporting data for iron, zinc and VA status, respectively. Synthesising 16 records of OR from seven eligible studies, overnutrition (overweight and obesity) increased odds of iron deficiency (ID) (OR (95% CI): 1.51 (1.20 to 1.82), p<0.0001, I2=40.7%). Odds appeared to be higher for children living with obesity (1.88 (1.33 to 2.43), p<0.0001, I2=20.6%) in comparison to those with overweight (1.31 (0.98 to 1.64), p<0.0001, I2=40.5%), although between group differences were not significant (p=0.08). + + CONCLUSIONS: Overnutrition is associated with increased risk of ID, but not zinc or VA deficiencies, with an inverted U-shaped relationship observed between iron status and bodyweight. Our results highlight significant heterogeneity in the reporting of micronutrient biomarkers and how deficiencies were defined. Inflammation status was rarely adequately accounted for, and the burden of ID may well be under-recognised, particularly in children and young people living with overnutrition. + + PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42020221523.

We examined the impact of parental obesity on offspring kidney function, morphology, and markers of kidney damage after acute kidney injury (AKI). Offspring from normal (N) diet-fed C57BL/6J parents were fed either N (NN) or a high-fat (H) diet (NH) from weaning until adulthood. Offspring from obese H diet-fed parents were fed N (HN) or H diet (HH) after weaning. All offspring groups were submitted to bilateral AKI by clamping the left and right renal pedicles for 30 min. Compared with male NH and NN offspring from lean parents, male HH and HN offspring from obese parents exhibited higher kidney injury markers such as urinary, renal osteopontin, plasma creatinine, urinary albumin excretion, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels, and worse histological injury score at 22 wk of age. Only albumin excretion and NGAL were elevated in female HH offspring from obese parents compared with lean and obese offspring from lean parents. We also found an increased mortality rate and worse kidney injury scores after AKI in male offspring from obese parents, regardless of the diet consumed after weaning. Female offspring were protected from major kidney injury after AKI. These results indicate that parental obesity leads to increased kidney injury in their offspring after ischemia-reperfusion in a sex-dependent manner, even when their offspring remain lean. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Offspring from obese parents are more susceptible to kidney injury and worse outcomes following an acute ischemia-reperfusion insult. Male, but not female, offspring from obese parents exhibit increased blood pressure early in life. Female offspring are partially protected against major kidney injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Lipocalin-2). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, it has yet to be determined if these associations exist in a young, healthy population as a possible early marker for metabolic disease risk. The purpose of this study was to determine if indices of the metabolic syndrome are related to plasma lactate concentrations in this population. + + METHODS: Fifty (29 +/- 7 yr) men (n = 19) and women (n = 31) classified as overweight (26.4 +/- 1.8 kg/m2) participated in this observational study. Blood pressure and blood metabolites were measured after an overnight fast. Lactate was also measured before and after a three-day eucaloric high-fat (70 %) diet. The homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated as a measure of insulin resistance. Visceral adipose tissue mass was determined via dual X-ray absorptiometry. + + RESULTS: Triglycerides (r = 0.55, p=<0.0001), HOMA-IR (r = 0.53, p=<0.0001), and systolic and diastolic (both, r = 0.36, p = 0.01) blood pressures associated with fasting plasma lactate. No differences in visceral adipose tissue existed between the sexes (p = 0.41); however, the relationship between visceral adipose tissue and lactate existed only in females (r = 0.59, p = 0.02) but not in males (p = 0.53). Fasting lactate and HOMA-IR increased in males (p = 0.01 and p = 0.02, respectively), but not females, following a three-day high-fat diet. + + CONCLUSION: Indices of the metabolic syndrome associated with fasting plasma lactates in young relatively healthy individuals. Fasting lactate also increased in a sex-specific manner after a three-day high fat diet. Thus, lactate could become a clinical marker for metabolic disease risk.

The associations between asthma and sex are complex with multiple intrinsic and external factors. + + AIM: To evaluate the sex differences in the characteristics and treatment of patients with severe asthma (SA) in a real-world setting. + + METHODS: Demographic, clinical and treatment characteristics for patients with SA in the UK Severe Asthma Registry (UKSAR) and Optimum Patient Care Research Database (OPCRD) were retrospectively analysed by sex using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses adjusted for year, age and hospital/practice. + + RESULTS: 3679 (60.9% female) patients from UKSAR and 18 369 patients (67.9% female) from OPCRD with SA were included. Females were more likely to be symptomatic with increased Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 (UKSAR adjusted OR (aOR) 1.14, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.18) and Royal College of Physicians-3 Question scores (OPCRD aOR 1.29, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.47). However, they had a higher forced expiratory volume in 1 second per cent (FEV1%) predicted (UKSAR 68.7% vs 64.8%, p<0.001) with no significant difference in peak expiratory flow. Type 2 biomarkers IgE (UKSAR 129 IU/mL vs 208 IU/mL, p<0.001) and FeNO (UKSAR 36ppb vs 46ppb, p<0.001) were lower in females with no significant difference in blood eosinophils or biological therapy. Females were less likely to be on maintenance oral corticosteroids (UKSAR aOR 0.86, 95% CI 0.75 to 0.99) but more likely to be obese (UKSAR aOR 1.67, 95% CI 145 to 1.93; OPCRD SA aOR 1.46, 95% CI 1.34 to 1.58). + + CONCLUSIONS: Females had increased symptoms and were more likely to be obese despite higher FEV1% predicted and lower type 2 biomarkers with consistent and clinically important differences across both datasets.

Caloric restriction (CR) may improve metabolic function in part by reducing cellular senescence and the pro-inflammatory senescence-associated phenotype (SASP). We conducted an ancillary investigation of an 18-week randomized controlled trial (RCT) of CR (n = 31) or Control (n = 27) in 58 middle-aged/older adults (57.6 +/- 5.8 years; 75% Women) with obesity and prediabetes. We measured mRNA expression of select senescence and apoptosis genes in blood CD3 + T cells (qRT-PCR) and a panel of 25 plasma SASP proteins (Luminex/multiplex; ELISA). Participants randomized to CR lost -10.8 +/- 0.9 kg (-11.3% +/- 5.4%) over 18 weeks compared with +0.5 +/- 0.9 kg (+0.03% +/- 3.5%) in Control group. T-cell expression of senescence biomarkers, p16INK4a and p21CIP1/WAF1, and apoptosis markers, BCL2L1 and BAK1, was not different between CR and Control groups in age, race, and sex-adjusted mixed models (p > .05, all). Iterative principal axis factor analysis was used to develop composite SASP Factors, and the Factors comprising TNFRI, TNFRII, uPAR, MMP1, GDF15, OPN, Fas, and MPO were significantly altered with CR intervention (age, sex, race-adjusted mixed model time x treatment F = 4.17, p <= .05) and associated with the degree of weight loss (R2 = 0.12, p <= .05). Our study provides evidence from an RCT that specific circulating biomarkers of senescent cell burden are changed by CR in middle-aged and older adults with obesity and prediabetes. Future studies compare tissue and circulating levels of p16INK4a and pro-inflammatory SASP biomarkers in other populations, and interventions. Copyright © The Author(s) 2023.

This condition can lead to anovulatory infertility in women of childbearing age and is often accompanied by various metabolic disturbances, including hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, obesity, type-2 diabetes, and elevated cholesterol levels. The development of PCOS is influenced by a combination of epigenetic alterations, genetic mutations, and changes in the expression of non-coding RNAs, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs). MicroRNAs, commonly referred to as non-coding RNAs, are approximately 22 nucleotides in length and primarily function in post-transcriptional gene regulation, facilitating mRNA degradation and repressing translation. Their dynamic expression in different cells and tissues contributes to the regulation of various biological and cellular pathways. As a result, they have become pivotal biomarkers for various diseases, including PCOS, demonstrating intricate associations with diverse health conditions. The aberrant expression of miRNAs has been detected in the serum of women with PCOS, with overexpression and dysregulation of these miRNAs playing a central role in the atypical expression of endocrine hormones linked to PCOS. This review takes a comprehensive approach to explore the upregulation and downregulation of various miRNAs present in ovarian follicular cells, granulosa cells, and theca cells of women diagnosed with PCOS. Furthermore, it discusses the potential for a theragnostic approach using miRNAs to better understand and manage PCOS. Copyright © 2024.

A lower and higher capacity for producing IL-10 (p = 0.039) and IL-2 (p = 0.009), respectively, were found in children with obesity compared to children with normal weight. Although IL-2, IL-4 and IL17A did not correlate with HRV parameters, IL-6 was positively correlated with SDNN, LF (ms) and SD2, TNF-alpha was positively correlated with LF/HF and SD1/SD2 ratio, and IFN-gamma was positively correlated with SDNN, RMMSSD, NN50, LF (ms), HF (ms), SD1, and SD2. + + CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that children with obesity have impaired autonomic function and systemic low-grade inflammation compared to children within the normal weight range, the inflammatory biomarkers were correlated with HRV parameters in schoolchildren living in the northeastern region of Brazil.

Serum beta-hydroxybutyrate (beta-HB), a product of the ketogenic pathway, is commonly used as a surrogate marker for hepatic fatty acid oxidation (FAO). However, it remains uncertain whether this relationship holds true in the context of NAFLD in humans. We compared fasting serum beta-HB levels with direct measurement of liver mitochondrial palmitate oxidation in humans stratified based on NAFLD severity (n = 142). Patients were stratified based on NAFLD activity score (NAS): NAS = 0 (no disease), NAS = 1-2 (mild), NAS = 3-4 (moderate), and NAS >= 5 (advanced). Moderate and advanced NAFLD is associated with reductions in liver 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2), serum beta-HB, but not 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase (HMGCL) mRNA, relative to no disease. Worsening liver mitochondrial complete palmitate oxidation corresponded with lower HMGCS2 mRNA but not total (complete + incomplete) palmitate oxidation. Interestingly, we found that liver HMGCS2 mRNA and serum beta-HB correlated with liver mitochondrial beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (beta-HAD) activity and CPT1A mRNA. Also, lower mitochondrial mass and markers of mitochondrial turnover positively correlated with lower HMGCS2 in the liver. These data suggest that liver ketogenesis and FAO occur at comparable rates in individuals with NAFLD. Our findings support the utility of serum beta-HB to serve as a marker of liver injury and hepatic FAO in the context of NAFLD. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Serum beta-hydroxybutyrate (beta-HB) is frequently utilized as a surrogate marker for hepatic fatty acid oxidation; however, few studies have investigated this relationship during states of liver disease. We found that the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with reductions in circulating beta-HB and liver 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2). As well, decreased rates of hepatic fatty acid oxidation correlated with liver HMGCS2 mRNA and serum beta-HB. Our work supports serum beta-HB as a potential marker for hepatic fatty acid oxidation and liver injury during NAFLD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + TZP1275679 (3-Hydroxybutyric Acid). 0 (Ketone Bodies). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Messenger). 0 (Palmitates). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.1152%2fajpendo.00336.2023 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Moore&issn=0193-1849&title=American+Journal+of+Physiology+-+Endocrinology+%26+Metabolism&atitle=Relationship+between+serum+beta-hydroxybutyrate+and+hepatic+fatty+acid+oxidation+in+individuals+with+obesity+and+NAFLD.&volume=326&issue=4&spage=E493&epage=E502&date=2024&doi=10.1152%2Fajpendo.00336.2023&pmid=38381399&sid=OVID:medline + +<92> +Unique Identifier + 37981526 +Title + Muscularity and adiposity are differently associated with inflammatory and nutritional biomarkers among patients on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. +Source + European Journal of Internal Medicine. 122:109-112, 2024 Apr. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Molfino A; Imbimbo G; Picconi O; Tartaglione L; Amabile MI; Lai S +Authors Full Name + Molfino, Alessio; Imbimbo, Giovanni; Picconi, Orietta; Tartaglione, Lida; Amabile, Maria Ida; Lai, Silvia. +Institution + Molfino, Alessio.

We aimed at evaluating whether body composition parameters in HD vs PD are differently associated with nutritional and inflammatory biomarkers. + + METHODS: Body composition was assessed by bioimpedance analysis. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), serum albumin and C-reactive protein were used as nutritional and inflammatory biomarkers. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to determine association(s) of body composition parameters with biomarkers. + + RESULTS: We enrolled a total of 108 patients, 58 on HD and 50 on PD. Fat free mass percent was higher in HD patients than PD (p = 0.006) and higher extracellular water (ECW)/intracellular water (ICW) in HD compared to PD patients (p = 0.023), as well as fat mass index was greater in PD than HD (p = 0.004). In HD patients, albumin positively correlated with fat free mass (r = 0.42; p = 0.001) and ICW/h2 (r = 0.31; p = 0.02). In PD, NLR positively correlated with fat mass (r = 0.36; p = 0.01), fat mass index (r = 0.37; p = 0.01) and ECW (r = 0.41; p = 0.005), and negatively correlated with fat free mass percent (r = -0.30; p = 0.04) and ICW percent (r = -0.34; p = 0.02). By linear regression analysis, in HD fat free mass index was associated with albumin and the absence of diabetes. In PD, the association of fat free mass index was present with NLR. Regarding adiposity, in HD we found no association of ECW/ICW with NLR and CRP, whereas in PD the ECW/ICW was associated with NLR. + + CONCLUSION: Inflammation drives body composition changes with differences according to the type of dialysis, as expressed by the modulation of some circulating biomarkers.

An important aspect of obesity prevention relates to identifying individuals at risk at early stage, allowing for timely risk stratification and initiation of countermeasures. However, obesity is complex and multifactorial by nature, and one isolated (bio)marker is unlikely to enable an optimal risk stratification and prognosis for the individual; rather, a combined set is required. Such a multicomponent interpretation would integrate biomarkers from various domains, such as classical markers (eg, anthropometrics, blood lipids), multiomics (eg, genetics, proteomics, metabolomics), lifestyle and behavioural attributes (eg, diet, physical activity, sleep patterns), psychological traits (mental health status such as depression) and additional host factors (eg, gut microbiota diversity), also by means of advanced interpretation tools such as machine learning. In this paper, we will present a protocol that will be employed for a scoping review that attempts to summarise and map the state-of-the-art in the area of multicomponent (bio)markers related to obesity, focusing on the usability and effectiveness of such biomarkers. + + METHODS AND ANALYSIS: PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL and Embase databases will be searched using predefined key terms to identify peer-reviewed articles published in English until January 2024. Once downloaded into EndNote for deduplication, CADIMA will be employed to review and select abstracts and full-text articles in a two-step procedure, by two independent reviewers. Data extraction will then be carried out by several independent reviewers. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews and Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies guidelines will be followed. Combinations employing at least two biomarkers from different domains will be mapped and discussed. + + ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required; data will rely on published articles. Findings will be published open access in an international peer-reviewed journal. This review will allow guiding future directions for research and public health strategies on obesity prevention, paving the way towards multicomponent interventions.

Predictive biomarkers are crucial for preventive strategies. Salivary alpha-amylase activity (sAAa) inversely correlates with obesity and insulin resistance in adults and children. However, the connection between sAAa and cardiometabolic risk factors or chronic low-grade inflammation markers remains unclear. This study explores the association between serum sAAa and adiposity markers related to cardiovascular diseases, as well as markers indicative of chronic low-grade inflammation. + + Methods: Serum samples and clinical data of 1500 adult, non-diabetic, Overweight/Obese participants were obtained from Qatar Biobank (QBB). We quantified sAAa and C reactive protein (CRP) levels with an autoanalyzer. Cytokines, adipokines, and adiponectin of a subset of 228 samples were quantified using a bead-based multiplex assay. The associations between the sAAa and the adiposity indices and low-grade inflammatory protein CRP and multiple cytokines were assessed using Pearson's correlation and adjusted linear regression. + + Results: The mean age of the participants was 36 +/- 10 years for both sexes of which 76.6% are women. Our analysis revealed a significant linear association between sAAa and adiposity-associated biomarkers, including body mass index beta -0.032 [95% CI -0.049 to -0.05], waist circumference beta -0.05 [95% CI -0.09 to -0.02], hip circumference beta -0.052 [95% CI -0.087 to -0.017], and HDL beta 0.002 [95% CI 0.001 to 0.004], albeit only in women. Additionally, sAAa demonstrated a significant positive association with adiponectin beta 0.007 [95% CI 0.001 to 0.01]while concurrently displaying significant negative associations with CRP beta -0.02 [95% CI -0.044 to -0.0001], TNF-alpha beta -0.105 [95% CI -0.207 to -0.004], IL-6 beta [95% CI -0.39 -0.75 to -0.04], and ghrelin beta -5.95 [95% CI -11.71 to -0.20], specifically within the female population. + + Conclusion: Our findings delineate significant associations between sAAa and markers indicative of cardiovascular disease risk and inflammation among overweight/obese adult Qatari females. Subsequent investigations are warranted to elucidate the nuances of these gender-specific associations comprehensively.

Monocytes are the common link between obesity and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The bias of innate cellular immunity towards pro-inflammatory activation stimulates the development of diseases associated with chronic inflammation, in particular metabolic disorders, including obesity, as well as CVDs. Disorders in the functional state of monocytes and activation of inflammation may be associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Mutations accumulating in mitochondrial DNA with age may lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and may be considered a potential marker for developing chronic inflammatory diseases. + + METHODS: The present study aimed to study the relationship between mitochondrial heteroplasmy in CD14+ monocytes and cardiovascular risk factors in 22 patients with obesity and coronary heart disease (CHD) by comparing them to 22 healthy subjects. + + RESULTS: It was found that single-nucleotide variations (SNV) A11467G have a negative correlation with total cholesterol (r = -0.82, p < 0.05), low density lipoproteins (LDL) (r = -0.82, p < 0.05), with age (r = -0.57, p < 0.05) and with mean carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) (r = -0.43, p < 0.05) and a positive correlation with HDL level (r = 0.71, p < 0.05). SNV 576insC positively correlated with body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.60, p < 0.001) and LDL level (r = 0.43, p < 0.05). SNV A1811G positively correlated with mean cIMT (r = 0.60, p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: It was revealed that some variants of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) heteroplasmy are associated with CVD risk factors. The results demonstrate the potential for using these molecular genetic markers to develop personalized CVD and metabolic disorder treatments. Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).

This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics of early-onset T2D and its association with triglyceride glucose body mass index (TyG-BMI), an emerging surrogate of IR. + + Methods: A total of 1000 adults newly diagnosed with T2D were enrolled and divided into early-onset T2D (18~40 years, N=500) and late-onset T2D groups (>=40 years, N=500). Independent t and chi-squared tests were used to compare the characteristics of the two groups, and logistic regression analysis, trend tests, restricted cubic spline curves (RCSs), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to identify the relationship between TyG-BMI and early-onset T2D. + + Results: Patients with early-onset T2D were more likely to have a higher body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), serum uric acid (SUA), triglyceride glucose index (TyG), and TyG-BMI (P < 0.05). A higher TyG-BMI was associated with an increased risk of early-onset T2D (P < 0.001). The RCSs showed a nonlinear relationship between TyG-BMI and early-onset T2D, and the slope of the curve increased with an increase in TyG-BMI (P for nonlinearity < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis, additive interactions between TyG-BMI and the risk of early-onset T2D were observed for sex, family history of diabetes, BMI, fatty liver, and hypertension (P < 0.001). ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of TyG-BMI was 0.6781, which was larger than its main components (TyG, BMI, FPG, TG). The best cutoff value was 254.865, the sensitivity was 74.6%, and the specificity was 53.6%. + + Conclusion: Patients with early-onset T2D are characterized by severe IR, metabolic disorders, and being overweight/obese and an increase in TyG-BMI is independently associated with an increased risk of early-onset T2D.

The gut microbial features and biomarkers have been increasingly investigated in many studies, which require further validation due to the limited sample size and various confounding factors that may affect microbial compositions in a single study. So far, it lacks a comprehensive bioinformatics pipeline providing automated statistical analysis and integrating multiple independent studies for cross-validation simultaneously. + + RESULTS: OBMeta aims to streamline the standard metagenomics data analysis from diversity analysis, comparative analysis, and functional analysis to co-abundance network analysis. In addition, a curated database has been established with a total of 90 public research projects, covering three different phenotypes (Obesity, T2D, and NAFLD) and more than five different intervention strategies (exercise, diet, probiotics, medication, and surgery). With OBMeta, users can not only analyze their research projects but also search and match public datasets for cross-validation. Moreover, OBMeta provides cross-phenotype and cross-intervention-based advanced validation that maximally supports preliminary findings from an individual study. To summarize, OBMeta is a comprehensive web server to analyze and validate gut microbial features and biomarkers for obesity-associated metabolic diseases. + + AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: OBMeta is freely available at: http://obmeta.met-bioinformatics.cn/.

To construct a sensing interface, the monomer of double epoxy groups-substituted thiophene (TdiEpx) was synthesized for the fabrication of the biosensing system. A disposable indium tin oxide sheet was first modified by electrochemical polymerization of the TdiEpx monomer, and this robust and novel surface was characterized using different spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses. The double epoxy ends were linked to the amino ends of anti-resistin, and they served as binding points for the covalent binding of biomolecules. The double epoxy ends present in each TdiEpx monomer ensured an extensive surface area, which improved the quantity of attached anti-resistin. The determination of resistin antigen was based on the specific coupling of resistin with anti-resistin, and this interaction hindered the electron transfer reaction. The immunosensor introduced a wide linear range of 0.0125-15 pg/mL, a low detection limit of 4.17 fg/mL, and an excellent sensitivity of 1.38 kohm pg mL-1 cm2. In this study, a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay spectrophotometric method was utilized as a reference technique for the quantitative analysis of resistin in human serum and saliva samples. Both measurements in clinical samples displayed correlations and high-correlation coefficients. In addition, this immunosensor had good storage stability, acceptable repeatability and reproducibility, high specificity, and good accuracy. The proposed immunosensor provided a simple and versatile impedimetric immunosensing platform and a promisingly sensitive way for clinical applications. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Resistin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Polymers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.1021%2facsabm.3c01231 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Aydin&issn=2576-6422&title=Acs+Applied+Bio+Materials&atitle=Label-Free+Electrochemical+Immunosensor+Based+on+Conjugated+Polymer+Film+Coated+Disposable+Electrode+for+Ultrasensitive+Determination+of+Resistin+Potential+Obesity+Biomarker.&volume=7&issue=3&spage=1820&epage=1830&date=2024&doi=10.1021%2Facsabm.3c01231&pmid=38395746&sid=OVID:medline + +<99> +Unique Identifier + 37857765 +Title + Prognosis of a malignant phenotype of obesity defined by a cardiac biomarker in hypertension: the Japan Morning Surge-Home Blood Pressure study. +Source + Hypertension Research - Clinical & Experimental. 47(2):487-495, 2024 Feb. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Watanabe H; Hoshide S; Kanegae H; Kario K +Authors Full Name + Watanabe, Hiroaki; Hoshide, Satoshi; Kanegae, Hisoshi; Kario, Kazuomi. +Institution + Watanabe, Hiroaki.

We classified 3513 hypertensive patients from the Japan Morning Surge-Home Blood Pressure (J-HOP) study into groups based on body mass index (BMI) (normal weight: <25 kg/m2, overweight: 25-29.9 kg/m2, obesity: >=30 kg/m2) and elevations in biomarker levels (hs-cTnT >=3 ng/mL: 51.3%, 54.9%, 53.3%, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide [NT-ProBNP] >=55 pg/mL: 51.1%, 40.7%, 36.0% in each BMI category). We evaluated the independent and combined associations of BMI and each hs-cTnT/NT-proBNP or both with CVD events (fatal and nonfatal coronary artery disease, stroke, and hospitalized heart failure). During the mean 6.4 +/- 3.9-year follow-up, 232 CVD events occurred. Obesity with elevated hs-cTnT was associated with a risk of CVD events compared to normal weight without elevated hs-cTnT (hazard ratio 3.22, 95% confidence interval: 1.83-5.68). A similar pattern of results was also observed across the status of obesity and elevated NT-proBNP. There was a significant interaction between hs-cTnT and CVD events according to the obesity status (p = 0.039), while this association was marginal in NT-proBNP (p = 0.060). The magnitude of the mediation of hs-cTnT for the association between obesity and CVD risk was 41.2%, and that for NT-proBNP was 8.1%. In this Japanese hypertensive population, the elevation of hs-cTnT identified obese patients at particularly high risk for developing CVD events, suggesting that hs-cTnT may identify a 'malignant' phenotype of obesity.

NAFLD is usually linked to obesity and excessive weight. A subset of patients with NAFLD expresses normal or low body mass index; thus, the condition is called non-obese NAFLD or lean NAFLD. However, patients and healthcare professionals have little awareness and understanding of NAFLD in non-obese individuals. Furthermore, preclinical results from non-obese animal models with NAFLD are unclear. Gut microbiota and their metabolites in non-obese/lean-NAFLD patients differ from those in obese NAFLD patients. Therefore, we analyzed the biochemical indices, intestinal flora, and intestinal metabolites in a non-obese NAFLD mouse model established using a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet. The significantly lean MCD mice had a remarkable fatty liver with lower serum triglyceride and free fatty acid levels, as well as higher alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels than normal mice. 16S RNA sequencing of fecal DNA showed that the overall richness and diversity of the intestinal flora decreased in MCD mice, whereas the Firmicutes:Bacteroidota ratio was increased. g_Tuzzerella, s_Bifidobacterium pseudolongum, and s_Faecalibaculum rodentium were the predominant species in non-obese NAFLD mice. Fecal metabolomics using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry revealed the potential biomarkers for the prognosis and diagnosis of non-obese NAFLD, including high levels of tyramine glucuronide, 9,12,13-TriHOME, and pantetheine 4'-phosphate, and low levels of 3-carbamoyl-2-phenylpropionaldehyde, N-succinyl-L,L-2,6-diaminopimelate, 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol, homogentisic acid, and estriol. Our findings could be useful to identify and develop drugs to treat non-obese NAFLD and lean NAFLD. + + IMPORTANCE: Patients and healthcare professionals have little awareness and understanding of NAFLD in non-obese individuals. In fact, about 40% of people with NAFLD worldwide are non-obese, and nearly one-fifth are lean. Lean NAFLD unfortunately may be unnoticed for years and remains undetected until hepatic damage is advanced and the prognosis is compromised. This study focused on the lean NAFLD, screened therapeutic agents, and biomarkers for the prognosis and diagnosis using MCD-induced male C57BL/6J mice. The metabolites tyramine glucuronide, 9,12,13-TriHOME, and pantetheine 4'-phosphate, together with the predominant flora including g_Tuzzerella, s_Bifidobacterium pseudolongum, and s_Faecalibaculum rodentium, were specific in non-obese NAFLD mice and might be used as targets for non-obese NAFLD drug exploration. This study is particularly significant for non-obese NAFLDs that need to be more actively noticed and vigilant. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 27972-85-6 (tyramine glucuronide).

Plasma insulin, leptin, and adiponectin were determined by immunoassays. Several common insulin resistance surrogates were calculated, including the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), triglyceride/HDL cholesterol index, triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, and the TyG index corrected for body mass index (BMI; TyG-BMI) and waist circumference (WC; TyG-WC). Associations among variables were assessed using multiple linear and logistic regression analysis. + + Results: There was a significant direct association between plasma leptin and LAR with BMI z-score but no association between plasma adiponectin and adiposity. After adjustments for sex and age, LAR was significantly associated with all insulin resistance surrogates (which were categorized using the 75th percentile as the cutoff point), with the TyG-WC index emerging as the surrogate with the highest magnitude of association (odds ratio [OR] 2.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.05-2.9). After additional adjustment for BMI z-score, only the association between LAR and TyG-WC remained significant (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.27-2.12). + + Conclusion: Plasma leptin and LAR were strongly associated with several common insulin resistance surrogates in prepubertal children, most notably with the TyG-WC index. Associations between LAR and insulin resistance indexes were mainly driven by the effect of plasma leptin, which is also directly associated with increased adiposity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Leptin). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Triglycerides).

However, the clinical studies that examine the role of dietary patterns against disease progression and symptomatology remain extremely scarce, especially concerning Mediterranean diet (MD) in the subgroup age of older adults with MS. + + AIMS: The present study aimed to investigate the potential impact of MD compliance in disease progression and symptoms severity as well as quality of life and physical activity of community-dwelling older adults with MS. + + METHODS: This is a cross-sectional conducted on 227 older adults with no history of other severe disease. Relevant questionnaires were applied to collect sociodemographic and anthropometric factors by face-to face interviews between patients and qualified personnel. Serum biomarkers were retrieved by patients' medical records. + + RESULTS: Higher MD compliance was independently associated with younger patients' age, lower risk of overweight/obesity and abdominal obesity, decreased disease progression and higher muscle mass, as well as greater physical activity, better quality of life, and adequate serum ferritin and albumin levels CONCLUSIONS: MD may exert beneficial effects in older adults with MS. Future strategies and policies are highly recommended to inform both the general population and the older patients with MS for the beneficial effects of MD in preventing MS and in improving or even slowing down the disease progression and symptoms severity of MS.

Apelin-12 is a bioactive adipokine that exerts vital roles in obesity-related cardiometabolic comorbidities. To date, apelin-12 has not been investigated in obese-DS. This study aimed to explore the possible association between serum apelin-12 and obesity-related markers and to evaluate the efficiency of apelin-12 in the prediction of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in obese-DS compared to BMI Z-score matched obese-control. The cross-sectional study included 150 prepubertal children classified into three groups; obese-DS (n = 50), obese-control (n = 50), and normal-weight-control (n = 50). Anthropometric parameters, body adiposity, fasting serum levels of blood glucose (FBG), insulin, lipid profile, and apelin-12 were evaluated. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated from FBG and insulin. MetS was defined using Adult Treatment Panel III criteria modified for the pediatric age group. ROC curves were analyzed to evaluate the efficiency of apelin-12 in predicting MetS in obesity groups. Obese-DS exhibited higher body adiposity with marked central fat distribution, atherogenic lipid profile, and higher HOMA-IR compared to obese-control. Apelin-12 was significantly higher in obese-DS and obese-DS with MetS compared to obese-control and obese-control with MetS respectively (p < 0.001). The increase in apelin-12 with higher obesity grades was pronounced in obese-DS. Apelin-12 strongly correlated with body adiposity, several MetS risk factors, and HOMA-IR in obese-DS. Significantly higher AUC for apelin-12 in the diagnosis of MetS among obese-DS than obese-control (AUC = 0.948 vs. AUC = 0.807; p = 0.04). + + CONCLUSIONS: The current study supports the crucial role of apelin-12 in obesity-related clinical and biochemical markers and in MetS in obese-DS and obese-control. Serum apelin-12 is a potential diagnostic biomarker for MetS with greater performance in obese-DS than obese-control raising its potential for clinical and therapeutic applications. + + WHAT IS KNOWN: * Obese-DS children displayed excess body adiposity, Pronounced central fat distribution, atherogenic lipid profile, higher HOMA-IR, and higher prevalence of MetS than obese-control. + + WHAT IS NEW: * Higher serum apelin-12 was observed in obese-DS and obese-DS with MetS than obese-control and obese-control with MetS respectively. The increase in apelin-12 level with increasing obesity grades was more pronounced in obese-DS. * Apelin-12 strongly correlated with obesity-related markers and MetS components in obese-DS. Apelin-12 performed better as a diagnostic biomarker for MetS in obese-DS than obese-control. Copyright © 2023.

It comprises mainly two types: white adipose tissue (WAT) for energy storage and brown adipose tissue (BAT) for thermogenesis, with beige adipocytes demonstrating the plasticity of these cells. WAT, beyond lipid storage, is involved in various metabolic activities, notably lipogenesis and lipolysis, critical for maintaining energy homeostasis. It also functions as an endocrine organ, secreting adipokines that influence metabolic, inflammatory, and immune processes. However, dysfunction in WAT, especially related to obesity, leads to metabolic disturbances, including the inability to properly store excess lipids, resulting in ectopic fat deposition in organs like the liver, contributing to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This narrative review delves into the multifaceted roles of WAT, its composition, metabolic functions, and the pathophysiology of WAT dysfunction. It also explores diagnostic approaches for adipose-related disorders, emphasizing the importance of accurately assessing AT distribution and understanding the complex relationships between fat compartments and metabolic health. Furthermore, it discusses various therapeutic strategies, including innovative therapeutics like adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs)-based treatments and gene therapy, highlighting the potential of precision medicine in targeting obesity and its associated complications. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Tauhe aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a Mediterranean diet (MD) and Ketogenic diet (KD), in patients with PSO and PSA. Twenty-six patients were randomly assigned to start either with MD or KD for a period of 8 weeks. After a 6-week washout interval, the two groups were crossed over to the other type of diet for 8 weeks. At the end of this study, MD and KD resulted in significant reduction in weight (p = 0.002, p < 0.001, respectively), in BMI (p = 0.006, p < 0.001, respectively), in waist circumference (WC) (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively), in total fat mass (p = 0.007, p < 0.001, respectively), and in visceral fat (p = 0.01, p < 0.001, respectively), in comparison with baseline. After KD, patients displayed a significant reduction in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) (p = 0.04), Disease Activity Index of Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) (p = 0.004), interleukin (IL)-6 (p = 0.047), IL-17 (p = 0.042), and IL-23 (p = 0.037), whereas no significant differences were observed in these markers after MD (p > 0.05), compared to baseline. The 22-week MD-KD diet program in patients with PSO and PSA led to beneficial results in markers of inflammation and disease activity, which were mainly attributed to KD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Randomized Controlled Trial.

The differentiation between visceral (VIS) and subcutaneous (SC) fat provides a finer-grained understanding of these risks, yet practical assessment methods are lacking. We hypothesized that combining the SC-VIS fat ratio with non-invasive biomarkers could create a valuable tool for obesity-related risk assessment. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: A clinical study of 125 individuals with obesity revealed significant differences in abdominal fat distribution measured by CT-scan among genders and distinct models of obesity, including visceral, subcutaneous, and the SC/VIS ratio. Stratification based on these models highlighted various metabolic changes. The SC/VIS ratio emerged as an excellent metric to differentiate metabolic status. Gene expression analysis identified candidate biomarkers, with ISM1 showing promise. Subsequent validation demonstrated a correlation between ISM1 levels in SC and plasma, reinforcing its potential as a non-invasive biomarker for fat distribution. Serum adipokine levels also correlated with the SC/VIS ratio. The Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis revealed ISM1's efficacy in discriminating individuals with favorable metabolic profiles based on adipose tissue distribution. Correlation analysis also suggested that ISM1 was involved in glucose regulation pathways. + + CONCLUSION: The study's results support the hypothesis that the SC-VIS fat ratio and its derived non-invasive biomarkers can comprehensively assess obesity-related health risks. ISM1 could predict abdominal fat partitioning and be a potential biomarker for evaluating obesity-related health risks. Copyright © 2023.

The study compared certain biomarkers for individuals with and without physical activity after bariatric surgery. Secondary, the study identified potential successful interventions for the target population. + + METHOD: PubMed, Embase, OVID, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library were searched from January 2000 to December 2020. Intervention studies on the effect of physical activity in adults after bariatric surgery were selected, included, and analyzed following the PRISMA guidelines. The primary outcome was weight loss followed by selected biomarkers. + + RESULTS: Two independent reviewers extracted data and conducted quality assessments. Of the 11 studies included, six reported BMI, two reported fat-free mass, three reported fat mass, two reported waist-hip ratio, and two reported waist circumference. Six studies measuring change from baseline BMI reported a significant intervention effect: SMD = -0.93 (-1.65;-0.20) with high heterogeneity of included trials (I2 = 72%). There was no significant difference between control and intervention groups for other outcomes. + + CONCLUSION: BMI as a measure of physical activity positively impacts the target population.

While the NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome has been linked to obesity-associated inflammation, whether it contributes to the development or maintenance of obesity is unknown. We provide support for a direct role of saturated fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, as NLRP3 activating stimuli in obese states. To investigate whether NLRP3 activation contributes to the pathogenesis of diet-induced obesity (DIO) in mice, we tested two different clinical-stage NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors. We demonstrate a contributory role of this key inflammasome to established obesity and associated systemic and cerebral inflammation. By comparing their effects to calorie restriction, we aimed to identify specific NLRP3-sensitive mechanisms contributing to obesity-induced inflammation (as opposed to be those regulated by weight loss per se). In addition, a direct comparison of an NLRP3 inhibitor to a glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide (Wegovy), in the DIO model allowed an appreciation of the relative efficacy of these two therapeutic strategies on obesity, its associated systemic inflammatory response, and cerebral gliosis. We show that two structurally distinct, NLRP3 inhibitors, NT-0249 and NT-0796, reverse obesity in the DIO mouse model and that brain exposure appears necessary for efficacy. In support of this, we show that DIO-driven hypothalamic glial fibrillary acidic protein expression is blocked by dosing with NT-0249/NT-0796. While matching weight loss driven by semaglutide or calorie restriction, remarkably, NLRP3 inhibition provided enhanced improvements in disease-relevant biomarkers of acute phase response, cardiovascular inflammation, and lipid metabolism. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Obesity is a global health concern that predisposes individuals to chronic disease such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease at least in part by promoting systemic inflammation. We report that in mice fed a high-fat, obesogenic diet, obesity is reversed by either of two inhibitors of the intracellular inflammatory mediator NLRP3. Furthermore, NLRP3 inhibition reduces both hypothalamic gliosis and circulating biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk beyond what can be achieved by either the glucagon like peptide-1 agonist semaglutide or calorie restriction alone.

Our study included 4,078 men in the Multiethnic Cohort with adiposity measurements at enrollment (1993-1996) and biomarkers measured in urines collected in 1995 and 2005. Multivariable linear regression models were used to estimate the percent change in 6-sulfatoxymelatonin levels and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Associations were examined separately by racial/ethnic group. + + RESULTS: The prevalence of obesity varied by race and ethnicity, from 10% for Japanese American men to 34% for Native Hawaiian men. Compared with men with normal body mass index (BMI), men who were overweight (-7.8%; 95% CI, -11.9 to -3.5%) and obese (-18.1%; 95% CI, -23.2 to -12.6%) had significantly lower 6-sulfatoxymelatonin levels adjusting for potential confounding factors. Increasing weight gain in adulthood was also associated with lower 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (Ptrend < 0.0001). The inverse associations for BMI and weight change were qualitatively similar across racial and ethnic groups. + + CONCLUSIONS: Obesity is inversely associated with melatonin in a racially diverse population. This finding is relevant given higher rates of obesity among Black, Native Hawaiian, and Latino men, as well as potential racial and ethnic differences in circadian function. + + IMPACT: Melatonin may be a relevant biomarker among obesity-associated malignancies and could shed light on a potential mechanism of cancer disparities.

This phase II study aimed to test whether weight reduction by > 5% total body weight counteracts obesity-driven PCa biomarkers. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty men scheduled for prostatectomy were randomized into intervention (n = 20) or control (n = 20) arms. Intervention participants followed a weight management program for 4 to 16 weeks before and 6 months after surgery. Control participants received standardized educational materials. All participants attended visits at baseline, 1 week before surgery, and 6 months after surgery. Circulating immune cells, cytokines, and chemokines were evaluated. Weight loss, body composition/distribution, quality of life, and nutrition literacy were assessed. Prostate tissue samples obtained from biopsy and surgery were analyzed. + + RESULTS: From baseline to surgery (mean = 5 weeks), the intervention group achieved 5.5% of weight loss (95% CI, 4%-7%). Compared to the control, the intervention also reduced insulin, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, leptin, leptin:adiponectin ratio, and visceral adipose tissue. The intervention group had reduced c-peptide, plasminogen-activator-inhibitor-1, and T cell count from baseline to surgery. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells were not statistically different by group. Intervention group anthropometrics improved, including visceral and overall fat loss. No prostate tissue markers changed significantly. Quality of life measures of general and emotional health improved in the intervention group. The intervention group maintained or kept losing to a net loss of 11% initial body weight (95% CI, 8%-14%) at the study end. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated improvements in body composition, PCa biomarkers, and quality of life with a weight management intervention. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Leptin). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Randomized Controlled Trial.

Vernix caseosa (VC) is a proteolipid material covering the fetus produced during skin development. However, whether maternal prepregnancy weight excess influences fetal skin development is unknown. Characterizing the VC of newborns from mothers with prepregnancy overweight and obesity might reveal AD-prone alterations during fetal skin development. + + OBJECTIVE: We sought to explore AD biomarkers and staphylococcal loads in VC from the offspring of mothers who were overweight/obese (O/O) before pregnancy versus in those from offspring of normal weight mothers. + + METHODS: The VC of newborns of 14 O/O and 12 normal weight mothers were collected immediately after birth. Biomarkers were determined by ELISA and staphylococcal species by quantitative PCR. + + RESULTS: The VC from the O/O group showed decreased expression of skin barrier proteins (filaggrin and loricrin) and increased levels of proinflammatory biomarkers (IgA, thymic stromal lymphopoietin [TSLP], S100A8, IL-25, and IL-33). No differences in concentrations of antimicrobial peptides and enzymes were detected. The VC from the O/O group had a lower Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus hominis commensal bacterial load, whereas Staphylococcus aureus bacterial load was not significantly different between the 2 groups. Maternal body mass index was negatively correlated with VC filaggrin expression and S epidermidis load and was positively associated with TSLP concentration. One-year follow-up established that the offspring of O/O mothers had a higher incidence of AD that was specifically linked with decreased VC filaggrin expression and lower S epidermidis load. + + CONCLUSIONS: VC from neonates of mothers with prepregnancy overweight and obesity exhibit skin barrier molecular alterations and staphylococcal dysbiosis that suggest early mechanistic clues to this population's increased risk of AD.

Increased inflamed metabolic activity of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is considered as a crucial underlying mechanism for the harmful effects of obesity. In this study, we aimed to investigate the inflamed metabolic activity of VAT with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and their association with AMD. + + Materials and methods: A total of 57 elderly participants (aged >= 50 years) who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for health screening and subsequent fundoscopic exam for complaint of recently impaired vision were enrolled. The metabolic activity of VAT was measured from the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of VAT. The early AMD participant was defined as the participant with either eye satisfying AMD and without any sign of advanced AMD (neovascular AMD or geographic atrophy). The late AMD participant was defined as the participant with either eye satisfying advanced AMD. + + Results: VAT SUVmax was highest in participants with late AMD, intermediate in early AMD, and lowest in non-AMD participants. The levels of systemic inflammation surrogate markers were also highest in late AMD group. Furthermore, VAT SUVmax was positively correlated with systemic inflammation surrogate markers and independently associated with the late AMD. + + Conclusions: The metabolic activity of VAT evaluated by 18F-FDG PET/CT was associated with the severity of AMD and synchronized with the level of systemic inflammation. Thus, VAT SUVmax could be potentially employed as a surrogate marker of obesity-driven VAT inflammation associated with AMD.

Data in support of this hypothesis is limited. + + METHODS: We included 259,884 men from eight European cohorts, with 11,760 incident PCa's and 1784 PCa deaths during follow-up. We used the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index as indicator of insulin resistance. We analysed PCa cases with follow-up from PCa diagnosis, and the full cohort with follow-up from the baseline cancer-free state, thus incorporating both PCa incidence and death. We calculated hazard ratios (HR) and the proportion of the total effect of body mass index (BMI) on PCa death mediated through TyG index. + + RESULTS: In the PCa-case-only analysis, baseline TyG index was positively associated with PCa death (HR per 1-standard deviation: 1.11, 95% confidence interval (CI); 1.01-1.22), and mediated a substantial proportion of the baseline BMI effect on PCa death (HRtotal effect per 5-kg/m2 BMI: 1.24; 1.14-1.35, of which 28%; 4%-52%, mediated). In contrast, in the full cohort, the TyG index was not associated with PCa death (HR: 1.03; 0.94-1.13), hence did not substantially mediate the effect of BMI on PCa death. + + CONCLUSIONS: Insulin resistance could be an important pathway through which obesity accelerates PCa progression to death.

Enhanced deposition of amyloid-beta peptides is due to an imbalance between their production and elimination. Previous studies show that diminished levels of CSF amyloid beta 42 (Abeta42) is a biomarker in AD; however, the role of serum Abeta42 in AD is contradictory. BMI and obesity have been reported to be related to increased serum Abeta42 levels. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relation between metabolic syndrome (MetS), its clinical measures (abdominal obesity, high glucose, high triglyceride, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, and hypertension), and serum Abeta42 levels. + + Methods: A total of 1261 subjects, aged 18-89 years in Chengdu, China, were enrolled from January 2020 to January 2021 to explore the correlation of serum Abeta42 levels with body mass index (BMI), blood lipids, and blood pressure. Furthermore, as the risk of MetS is closely related to age, 1,212 participants (N = 49 with age >= 80 years old were excluded) were analyzed for the correlation of serum Abeta42 level and MetS clinical measures. + + Results: The results showed that log-transformed serum Abeta42 level was positively correlated with BMI (R = 0.29; p < 0.001), log-transformed triglyceride (R = 0.14; p < 0.001), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (R = 0.12; p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c) (R = -0.18; p < 0.001). After adjusting for age, sex, and other covariates, elevated serum Abeta42 level was correlated with higher values of BMI (betamodel1 = 2.694, betamodel2 = 2.703) and DBP (betamodel1 = 0.541, betamodel2 = 0.546) but a lower level of HDL-c (betamodel2 = -1.741). Furthermore, serum Abeta42 level was positively correlated with MetS and its clinical measures, including BMI and DBP, and negatively correlated with HDL-c level in the Han Chinese population. However, the level of serum Abeta42 did not show a significant correlation with high glucose or high triglyceride. + + Discussion: These observations indicate that MetS and its components are associated with higher levels of serum Abeta42 and hence limit the potential of serum Abeta42 as a suitable diagnostic biomarker for AD. As such, we recommend serum Abeta42 serve as a direct risk biomarker for MetS rather than for AD.

Heart failure (HF) is a serious and common disease requiring a prompt diagnosis for appropriate management. Natriuretic peptides, such as BNP and NT-proBNP, play a crucial role in diagnosing HF due to their s pecificity and reproducibility. It is important to measuring natriuretic peptides, especially in cases of acute dyspnea, to differentiate cardiac causes from others. Specific thresholds are recommended, with high values strongly suggest HF, while normal levels rule out the diagnosis. Clinical characteristics, such as age, renal function, atrial fibrillation, obesity, and gender, influence natriuretic peptides levels and should be considered in interpretation. For diabetic, hypertensive, and obese patients, early screening for HF through natriuretic peptides measurement is crucial. Furthermore, these natriuretic peptides are useful for monitoring chronic heart failure patients. They assist in confirming decompensation, titrating treatment, evaluating treatment response, and establishing prognosis. However, it's essential to choose a single biomarker (BNP or NT-proBNP) to avoid confusion. +Other Abstract + Publisher + DANS LE DIAGNOSTIC ET LE SUIVI DE L'INSUFFISANCE CARDIAQUE. L'insuffisance cardiaque (IC) est une maladie grave et frequente necessitant un diagnostic rapide pour une prise en charge adequate. Les peptides natriuretiques, tels que le BNP et le NT-proBNP, jouent un role essentiel dans le diagnostic de l'IC en raison de leur specificite et de leur reproductibilite. Il est important de doser les peptides natriuretiques, en particulier lors d'une dyspnee aigue, pour differencier les causes cardiaques des autres. Des seuils specifiques sont recommandes, et des valeurs elevees evoquent fortement une IC, tandis que des taux normaux ecartent le diagnostic. Les caracteristiques cliniques - telles que l'age, la fonction renale, la fibrillation atriale, l'obesite et le sexe - modifient les taux de peptides natriuretiques et doivent etre prises en compte dans l'interpretation. Chez les patients diabetiques, hypertendus et obeses, le depistage precoce de l'IC par le dosage des peptides natriuretiques est crucial. De plus, ces peptides natriuretiques sont utiles pour le suivi des patients insuffisants cardiaques chroniques. Ils aident a confirmer une decompensation, a titrer le traitement, a en evaluer la reponse et a etablir un pronostic. Cependant, il est essentiel de choisir un seul biomarqueur (BNP ou NT-proBNP) pour eviter toute confusion. + Language: French +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Natriuretic Peptides). 114471-18-0 (Natriuretic Peptide, Brain). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + English Abstract.

The PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched using PRISMA guidelines until January 2024. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (code: CRD42024501551). Of the 473 articles, only 8 met the inclusion criteria (e.g., adult individuals aged 18 or over diagnosed with COVID-19 individuals with overweight and/or obesity). In addition, the Downs and Black tool was used to assess the quality of the studies. The studies analyzed totaled 9782 adults hospitalized for COVID-19, indicating that overweight and obesity are present in more than half of adults. Diseases such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension are more prevalent in adults with obesity. The systematic review also highlighted that a higher incidence of respiratory support is related to a higher incidence of hospitalization in intensive care units and that adults with overweight and obesity have a higher risk of mortality from COVID-19. Biochemical markers such as procalcitinin, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6 are associated with the severity of COVID-19 infection. This systematic review exposed overweight and/or obesity as a risk factor for worse COVID-19 disease, as well as for the need for intensive care, respiratory support, mortality, and changes in essential blood markers. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The participants were recruited initially during 2004-2013 in a large hospital-based cohort, and the follow-up measurements were conducted during 2012-2016. The 65,611 adults aged 45-75 were categorized into WC-loss (n = 22,290) and WC-gain (n = 43,321). Each study investigated demographic, anthropometric, biochemical, genetic, and dietary factors. The modified Healthy Eating Index (MHEI), dietary patterns, and glycemic index were calculated from a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Novel biomarkers influencing WC reduction were identified using machine learning approaches. A WCR was inversely associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk and its components. Daily energy intake did not differ between those with and without WCR. However, MHEI, which represents diet quality, demonstrated a positive association with WCR. Among various dietary patterns, the Asian-style balanced diet (ABD), including more fermented soybeans and less restricted salt than the Diet Approach to Stop Hypertension, was positively associated with WCR. However, an inverse association was observed between the diet that was high in noodle and processed meat consumption and that which was high in rice consumption. However, the PRS for abdominal obesity did not significantly interrupt WCR. The receiver operating characteristic curve in the prediction model for WCR was about 0.86. The biomarkers in the models included MetS components, inflammation index, diet components, alcohol consumption, and smoking status, but not genetic factors. In conclusion, adopting a high-quality diet with a high MHEI like ABD leads to WCR, irrespective of genetic influences. These results could be applied to develop effective strategies for preventing and managing abdominal obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fnu16040534 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Park&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Association+of+a+High+Healthy+Eating+Index+Diet+with+Long-Term+Visceral+Fat+Loss+in+a+Large+Longitudinal+Study.&volume=16&issue=4&spage=&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fnu16040534&pmid=38398858&sid=OVID:medline + +<121> +Unique Identifier + 38378519 +Title + High prevalence of fatty liver and its association with metabolic syndrome among rural adults with chronic hepatitis C: Implications for primary healthcare. +Source + BMC Public Health. 24(1):532, 2024 Feb 20. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Wang TJ; Chen MY; Lin YC; Chiu WN; Huang TJ; Weng HH +Authors Full Name + Wang, Ta-Jen; Chen, Mei-Yen; Lin, Yu-Chih; Chiu, Wen-Nan; Huang, Tung-Jung; Weng, Hsu-Huei. +Institution + Wang, Ta-Jen.

Fatty liver is associated with metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and liver cancer. Hence, the early detection of fatty liver through noninvasive screening in adults with CHC is important in primary healthcare settings. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of fatty liver and its association with metabolic syndrome amongrural adults with CHC. + + METHODS: This was a series of cohort studies related to the elimination of the CHC burden around the western coastal Yunlin County, Taiwan, between August 2018 and July 2021. A cross-sectional study was conducted after hepatitis C virus RNA confirmation in a hepatitis C- endemic area. A gastrointestinal physician or radiologist assessed fatty liver by ultrasonography. Fatty liver was classified into four grades: normal, mild, moderate, and severe. Three liver enzyme biomarkers were identified. According to the Taiwan national standard, metabolic syndrome was defined based on the presence of three or more of the five abnormal biomarkers, including increased waist circumference, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting blood glucose level, elevated triglyceride level, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level. + + RESULTS: A total of 256 rural adults with CHC were enrolled. The mean age of the participants was 67.5 (standard deviation = 11.8) years, with a low educational level. High prevalence of fatty liver (79%), central obesity (54.3%), elevated blood pressure (55.5%),elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) level (44.9%), and metabolic syndrome (37.9%) were observed. The results showed that adults with CHC with moderate to severe fatty liver were significantly associated with an increased risk of increased waist circumference (P < 0.001), increased blood pressure (P < 0.001), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (P < 0.05), and elevated liver enzyme biomarker levels (all P < 0.05) after adjusting for age, sex, and educational level. Furthermore, adults with CHC with moderate to severe fatty liver were significantly associated with a greater risk of metabolic syndrome (odds ratio = 2.85, 95% confidence interval = 1.66 to 4.92). + + CONCLUSIONS: The findings demonstrate a high prevalence of fatty liver in rural adults with CHC, which is significantly associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and elevated liver biomarker levels. Clinicians and primary healthcare providers must encourage patients with CHC to receive antiviral therapy combined with weight loss management and lifestyle modification, allowing general improvements in their liver and cardiometabolic health.

The clinical baseline data was collected, and the vascular endothelial function was evaluated using the EndoPATTM. Blood samples were collected for the serum proteome analysis. The differences in the serum protein expression levels between the two groups were detected and the protein interaction network analysis, correlation analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and random forest model investigation were conducted. + + RESULTS: There were no statistical differences found in the baseline data. For vascular endothelial function, the reactive hyperemia index (RHI) of the phlegm-dampness constitution obese group was significantly lower than that of the balanced constitution obese group (1.46 +/- 0.30 vs 2.82 +/- 0.78, P < 0.0001), indicating vascular endothelial dysfunction. There are 66 differentially expressed serum proteins between the two groups. apolipoprotein A2 (ApoA2), angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2), interleukin-33 (IL-33), and forkhead box P3 (FoxP3) showed significant differences and area under curve values of their ROC curves were greater than 0.7 and correlated significantly with RHI. + + CONCLUSION: Vascular endothelial dysfunction was present in the phlegm-dampness constitution obese group. Thus, alterations in the expression levels of key serum proteins, including ApoA2, ACE-2, IL-33, and FoxP3 could serve as potential biomarkers in the obese population at risk of CVD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Proteome). 0 (Interleukin-33). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Proteins). 0 (Forkhead Transcription Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.19852%2fj.cnki.jtcm.20231110.005 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Linghui&issn=0255-2922&title=Journal+of+Traditional+Chinese+Medicine&atitle=Differences+in+vascular+endothelial+function+and+serum+proteome+between+obese+people+with+phlegm-dampness+constitution+and+balanced+constitution.&volume=44&issue=1&spage=188&epage=196&date=2024&doi=10.19852%2Fj.cnki.jtcm.20231110.005&pmid=38213254&sid=OVID:medline + +<123> +Unique Identifier + 38095878 +Title + Atezolizumab in Combination With Carboplatin and Survival Outcomes in Patients With Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: The TBCRC 043 Phase 2 Randomized Clinical Trial. +Source + JAMA Oncology. 10(2):193-201, 2024 Feb 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Lehmann BD; Abramson VG; Dees EC; Shah PD; Ballinger TJ; Isaacs C; Santa-Maria CA; An H; Gonzalez-Ericsson PI; Sanders ME; Newsom KC; Abramson RG; Sheng Q; Hsu CY; Shyr Y; Wolff AC; Pietenpol JA +Authors Full Name + Lehmann, Brian D; Abramson, Vandana G; Dees, E Claire; Shah, Payal D; Ballinger, Tarah J; Isaacs, Claudine; Santa-Maria, Cesar A; An, Hanbing; Gonzalez-Ericsson, Paula I; Sanders, Melinda E; Newsom, Kimberly C; Abramson, Richard G; Sheng, Quanhu; Hsu, Chih-Yuan; Shyr, Yu; Wolff, Antonio C; Pietenpol, Jennifer A. +Institution + Lehmann, Brian D.

In contrast to microtubule-targeting agents, the effect of combining platinum compounds with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 immunotherapy has not been extensively determined. + + Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of atezolizumab with carboplatin in patients with metastatic TNBC. + + Design, Setting, and Participants: This phase 2 randomized clinical trial was conducted in 6 centers from August 2017 to June 2021. + + Interventions: Patients with metastatic TNBC were randomized to receive carboplatin area under the curve (AUC) 6 alone or with atezolizumab, 1200 mg, every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects with a 3-year duration of follow-up. + + Main Outcome and Measures: The primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included overall response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), and overall survival (OS). Other objectives included correlation of response with tumor PD-L1 levels, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), tumor DNA- and RNA-sequenced biomarkers, TNBC subtyping, and multiplex analyses of immune markers. + + Results: All 106 patients with metastatic TNBC who were enrolled were female with a mean (range) age of 55 (27-79) years, of which 12 (19%) identified as African American/Black, 1 (1%) as Asian, 73 (69%) as White, and 11 (10%) as unknown. Patients were randomized and received either carboplatin (n = 50) or carboplatin and atezolizumab (n = 56). The combination improved PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.66; 95% CI, 0.44-1.01; P = .05) from a median of 2.2 to 4.1 months, increased ORR from 8.0% (95% CI, 3.2%-18.8%) to 30.4% (95% CI, 19.9%-43.3%), increased CBR at 6 months from 18.0% (95% CI, 9.8%-30.1%) to 37.5% (95% CI, 26.0%-50.6%), and improved OS (HR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.37-0.96; P = .03) from a median of 8.6 to 12.6 months. Subgroup analysis showed PD-L1-positive tumors did not benefit more from adding atezolizumab (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.23-1.65; P = .35). Patients with high TILs (HR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.30-0.50), high mutation burden (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.23-1.06), and prior chemotherapy (HR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.36-0.95) received greater benefit on the combination. Patients with obesity and patients with more than 125 mg/dL on-treatment blood glucose levels were associated with better PFS (HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.10-1.80) on the combination. TNBC subtypes benefited from adding atezolizumab, except the luminal androgen receptor subtype. + + Conclusions and Relevance: In this randomized clinical trial, the addition of atezolizumab to carboplatin significantly improved survival of patients with metastatic TNBC regardless of PD-L1 status. Further, lower risk of disease progression was associated with increased TILs, higher mutation burden, obesity, and uncontrolled blood glucose levels. + + Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03206203. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + BG3F62OND5 (Carboplatin). 52CMI0WC3Y (atezolizumab). 0 (B7-H1 Antigen). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Ligands). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Antibodies, Monoclonal, Humanized). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Obese rats with diabetic characteristics were fed a diet containing five percent Golden Berry for 16 days. This study focused on various parameters including organ weights, expression of metabolic genes, and urinary biomarkers. Post-Golden Berry intake, there was a notable decrease in the body, liver, pancreas, visceral, and subcutaneous adipose tissue weights in these obese, hyperglycemic rats. In contrast, an increase in brown adipose tissue (BAT) cell mass was observed. This diet also resulted in reduced blood glucose levels and normalized plasma biochemical profiles, including cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL levels. Additionally, it modulated specific urinary biomarkers, particularly pipe-colic acid, a primary marker for type 2 diabetes. Bioinformatics analysis linked these dietary effects to improved insulin signaling and adipogenesis. Regular consumption of Golden Berry effectively prevented insulin resistance and obesity in rats, underscoring its significant health benefits and the protective role of an antioxidant-rich diet against metabolic syndrome. These findings offer promising insights for future therapeutic strategies to manage and prevent obesity and related chronic diseases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fnu16030365 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Angel-Martin&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Daily+Consumption+of+Golden+Berry+%28Physalis+peruviana%29+Has+Been+Shown+to+Halt+the+Progression+of+Insulin+Resistance+and+Obesity+in+Obese+Rats+with+Metabolic+Syndrome.&volume=16&issue=3&spage=&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fnu16030365&pmid=38337650&sid=OVID:medline + +<125> +Unique Identifier + 38316601 +Title + Fibre-rich Foods to Treat Obesity and Prevent Colon Cancer trial study protocol: a randomised clinical trial of fibre-rich legumes targeting the gut microbiome, metabolome and gut transit time of overweight and obese patients with a history of noncancerous adenomatous polyps. +Source + BMJ Open. 14(2):e081379, 2024 02 05. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Hartman TJ; Christie J; Wilson A; Ziegler TR; Methe B; Flanders WD; Rolls BJ; Loye Eberhart B; Li JV; Huneault H; Cousineau B; Perez MR; O'Keefe SJD +Author NameID + Hartman, Terryl J; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5942-3161 + Wilson, Annette; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7426-1786 + Rolls, Barbara J; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2374-1517 + Loye Eberhart, Blaine; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6239-0053 + Li, Jia V; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5763-6670 + Huneault, Helaina; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3866-2387 + Cousineau, Ben; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8732-2835 + Perez, Miriam R; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2432-4603 +Authors Full Name + Hartman, Terryl J; Christie, Jennifer; Wilson, Annette; Ziegler, Thomas R; Methe, Barbara; Flanders, William Dana; Rolls, Barbara J; Loye Eberhart, Blaine; Li, Jia V; Huneault, Helaina; Cousineau, Ben; Perez, Miriam R; O'Keefe, Stephen J D. +Institution + Hartman, Terryl J.

In participants with overweight/obesity and a history of colorectal polyps, the Fibre-rich Foods to Treat Obesity and Prevent Colon Cancer randomised clinical trial will test whether a high-fibre diet featuring legumes will simultaneously facilitate weight reduction and suppress colonic mucosal biomarkers of colorectal cancer (CRC). + + METHODS/DESIGN: This study is designed to characterise changes in (1) body weight; (2) biomarkers of insulin resistance and systemic inflammation; (3) compositional and functional profiles of the faecal microbiome and metabolome; (4) mucosal biomarkers of CRC risk and (5) gut transit. Approximately 60 overweight or obese adults with a history of noncancerous adenomatous polyps within the previous 3 years will be recruited and randomised to one of two weight-loss diets. Following a 1-week run-in, participants in the intervention arm will receive preportioned high-fibre legume-rich entrees for two meals/day in months 1-3 and one meal/day in months 4-6. In the control arm, entrees will replace legumes with lean protein sources (eg, chicken). Both groups will receive in-person and written guidance to include nutritionally balanced sides with energy intake to lose 1-2 pounds per week. + + ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The National Institutes of Health fund this ongoing 5-year study through a National Cancer Institute grant (5R01CA245063) awarded to Emory University with a subaward to the University of Pittsburgh.

Our study aimed to explore the association between BMI and NT-proBNP and assess the effect of BMI on the prognostic ability of NT-proBNP in Chinese patients with HF. We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from the FuWai Hospital HF Center in Beijing, China. According to the Chinese adult BMI standard, 1,508 patients with HF were classified into four groups: underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (BMI 18.5-23.9 kg/m2, as a reference category), overweight (BMI 24-27.9 kg/m2), and obesity (BMI >= 28 kg/m2). NT-proBNP was examined for its prognostic role in adverse events as an endpoint. BMI was independently and negatively associated with NT-proBNP (beta = -0.074; P < 0.001), and NT-proBNP levels tended to decrease as BMI increased across the different BMI categories. The results of our study differ from those of other studies of European-American populations. In this study, NT-proBNP was a weak predictor of a 4-year adverse prognosis in underweight patients (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2). In other BMI categories, NT-proBNP was an independent predictor of adverse events in HF. BMI and sex significantly affected the optimal threshold for NT-proBNP to predict the risk of adverse events. There is a negative correlation between BMI and NT-proBNP, and NT-proBNP independently predicts adverse HF events in patients with a BMI of >= 18.5 kg/m2. The optimal risk prediction cutoffs are lower in patients who are overweight and obese. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (pro-brain natriuretic peptide (1-76)). 114471-18-0 (Natriuretic Peptide, Brain). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Fragments). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.1536%2fihj.23-461 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Tian&issn=1349-2365&title=International+Heart+Journal&atitle=Influence+of+Body+Mass+Index+on+the+Prognostic+Value+of+N-Terminal+Pro-B-Type+Natriuretic+Peptide+Level+in+Chinese+Patients+with+Heart+Failure.&volume=65&issue=1&spage=47&epage=54&date=2024&doi=10.1536%2Fihj.23-461&pmid=38296579&sid=OVID:medline + +<127> +Unique Identifier + 36443558 +Title + The Symbiosis Between Lactobacillus acidophilus and Inulin: Metabolic Benefits in an Obese Murine Model. +Source + Probiotics & Antimicrobial Proteins. 16(1):26-34, 2024 Feb. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Rangel-Torres BE; Garcia-Montoya IA; Rodriguez-Tadeo A; Jimenez-Vega F +Authors Full Name + Rangel-Torres, Brian Eduardo; Garcia-Montoya, Isui Abril; Rodriguez-Tadeo, Alejandra; Jimenez-Vega, Florinda. +Institution + Rangel-Torres, Brian Eduardo.

Research shows that probiotics and prebiotics reduce the metabolic alterations caused by high-fat diets. Therefore, this work evaluated the effect of the incorporation of Lactobacillus acidophilus (probiotic) and inulin (prebiotic) in the diet through obesity markers (biochemical, anthropometric, and molecular markers) in an obese murine model. Four treatments were administered: (1) hypocaloric diet (HD), (2) HD + L. acidophilus, (3) HD + inulin, and (4) DH supplemented with L. acidophilus + inulin for 8 weeks. After treatment, glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-C, and LDL-C in plasma were determined. In addition, the total body weight and adipose tissue were taken to calculate the body mass index. Following RNA extraction from adipose tissue, the expression of PPAR gamma, PPAR alpha, and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF1beta) was evaluated by semiquantitative PCR. All treatments showed an improvement in biochemical markers compared to the values of the obese model (p < 0.05). Optimal values for blood glucose (133.2 +/- 14.3 mg/dL), triglycerides (71 +/- 4.6 mg/dL), total cholesterol (48.9 +/- 6 mg/dL), HDL-C (40.9 +/- 4.8 mg/dL), and LDL-C (8.4 +/- 1.7 mg/dL) were obtained in the mixed treatment. Regarding fat mass index (FMI), prebiotic treatment caused the greatest reduction. On the other hand, mixed treatment increased the gene expression of PPARalpha and TGF1beta in adipose tissue with DH with L. acidophilus and inulin treatment. This work demonstrates that the use of L. acidophilus and inulin as a complementary treatment is a viable alternative for prevention and action as a complementary treatment for obesity given the reduction in biochemical parameters and anthropometric indices; these reductions were greater than those found in the classic treatment of obesity due to the induction of the expression of genes related to lipid metabolism and anti-inflammatory cytokines, which contribute to reducing the high levels of glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol caused by obesity.

The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the best cut-off values for the metabolite ratios. Survival analyses were performed to compare the four subgroups defined by baseline metabolite ratios and clinical status of obesity. + + RESULTS: The alanine/glycine was the most significant marker for T2D incidence (hazard ratio per SD: 1.24; p < .001). On the other hand, metabolite hydroxy sphingomyelin C22:2 was most specific for T2D remission (hazard ratio per SD: 1.32; p = .029). Survival analysis of T2D incidence among the subgroups defined by the combination of alanine/glycine and obesity showed the group with a high alanine/glycine and obesity had the highest risk of T2D incidence (p < .001). The alanine/glycine as a T2D risk marker was also validated in the independent external data. + + CONCLUSIONS: The combination of obesity and the alanine/glycine ratio can be used to evaluate the diabetes risk.

Nutrimetabolomics, the application of metabolomics to nutrition research, allows for the detection of food-specific compounds (FSCs) that can be used to connect dietary patterns, such as a Mediterranean-style (MED) diet, to health. This validation study is based upon analyses from a controlled feeding MED intervention, where our team identified FSCs from eight foods that can be detected in biospecimens after consumption and may therefore serve as food intake biomarkers. + + METHODS: Individuals with overweight/obesity who do not habitually consume a MED dietary pattern will complete a 16-week randomized, multi-intervention, semi-controlled feeding study of isocaloric dietary interventions: (1) MED-amplified dietary pattern, containing 500 kcal/day from eight MED target foods: avocado, basil, cherry, chickpea, oat, red bell pepper, walnut, and a protein source (alternating between salmon or unprocessed, lean beef), and (2) habitual/Western dietary pattern, containing 500 kcal/day from six non-MED target foods: cheesecake, chocolate frozen yogurt, refined grain bread, sour cream, white potato, and unprocessed, lean beef. After a 2-week washout, participants complete four, 4-week intervention periods, with biospecimen sampling and outcome assessments at baseline and at intervention weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16. The primary outcome is change in the relative abundance of FSCs from the eight MED target foods in participant biospecimens from baseline to the end of each intervention period. Secondary outcomes include mean change in cardiometabolic health indicators, inflammatory markers, and adipokines. Exploratory outcomes include change in diversity and community composition of the gut microbiota. + + DISCUSSION: Our stepwise strategy, beginning with identification of FSCs in whole diets and biospecimens, followed by relating these to health indicators will lead to improved methodology for assessment of dietary patterns and a better understanding of the relationship between food and health. This study will serve as a first step toward validating candidate food intake biomarkers and allow for assessment of relationships with cardiometabolic health. The identification of food intake biomarkers is critical to future research and has implications spanning health promotion and disease prevention for many chronic conditions. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: Registered at ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05500976 ; Date of registration: August 15, 2022.

Studies have discovered a close correlation between serum uric acid (SUA) and insulin resistance (IR). The objective of this investigation is to examine the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a simple surrogate for IR, and the presence of hyperuricemia. + + METHODS: Between 2017 and 2021, an epidemiologic study was conducted on Royal Thai Army (RTA) personnel aged 35-60 years, involving a total of 231,286 participants. In the study, hyperuricemia was defined as a SUA level of 7 mg/dL and 6 mg/dL among male and female participants, respectively. Using linear regression analysis and logistic regression analysis, the association between the TyG index and SUA was determined. + + RESULTS: A positive relationship was demonstrated between the TyG index and the SUA. Overall, SUA increased by 0.32 per unit of TyG index growth (95% CI: 0.31-0.32). In comparison with the first quartile, employees in the fourth TyG quartile had a greater likelihood of having hyperuricemia [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.45, 95% CI: 2.38-2.52]. Effect modification by obesity on the association between the TyG index and SUA was observed (P-interaction < 0.001). Among individuals with obesity, compared with the first TyG index quartile, the AOR for hyperuricemia was 2.15 (95% CI: 2.06-2.25) and 2.14 (95% CI: 1.81-2.53) for the fourth quartile of the TyG index for males and females, respectively. However, for nonobese personnel, in comparison to the top quartile of the TyG index, the AOR for hyperuricemia was 2.73 (95% CI:2.61-2.84) and 5.03 (95% CI: 4.03-6.29) for the fourth quartile of the TyG index for males and females, respectively. Personnel in the fourth TyG index quartile revealed that the prevalence of hyperuricemia reached 44.2%. + + CONCLUSION: A robust positive association between the TyG index and SUA was illustrated among active-duty RTA personnel. Obesity was identified as a modifier influencing this relationship. Furthermore, individuals in the fourth quarter of the TyG index, regardless of their obesity status, could be considered appropriate candidates for screening SUA levels. Copyright © 2024.

A multivariable logistic regression analysis was then done to assess the association of metabolic syndrome in cALL survivors with variables including adipokines and other metabolic parameters, demographic and treatment details, and Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan-derived variables. + + RESULTS: Compared to controls, cALL survivors had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome (8/40 vs. 2/40, P = .044) and central obesity (11/40 vs. 4/40, P = 0.042). Median Serum Leptin (7.39 vs. 4.23 ng/ml, P = 0.207) levels and derived Leptin-Adiponectin Ratio (1.44 vs. 0.80, P = 0.598), were higher but not statistically different in our survivors compared to controls; Adiponectin levels were similar (6.07 vs. 5.01 microg/ml, P = 0.283). In the cALL survivors, overweight/obesity (odds ratio [OR] 21.9, P = 0.020) or higher Leptin levels (OR 1.11, P = 0.047), were independently associated with metabolic syndrome. + + CONCLUSIONS: Serum Leptin, independently predictive of metabolic syndrome in our cALL survivors, may be tested in larger studies to assess its utility in surveillance and initiation of early preventive measures. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Leptin). 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.1080%2f01635581.2023.2301139 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Das&issn=0163-5581&title=Nutrition+%26+Cancer&atitle=Serum+Adipokines+as+Biomarkers+for+Surveillance+of+Metabolic+Syndrome+in+Childhood+Acute+Lymphoblastic+Leukemia+Survivors+in+Low+Middle-Income+Countries.&volume=76&issue=3&spage=262&epage=270&date=2024&doi=10.1080%2F01635581.2023.2301139&pmid=38225859&sid=OVID:medline + +<132> +Unique Identifier + 38257150 +Title + Exploring the Link between Inflammatory Biomarkers and Adipometrics in Healthy Young Adults Aged 20-35 Years. +Source + Nutrients. 16(2), 2024 Jan 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kosovski IB; Bacarea V; Ghiga D; Ciurea CN; Cucoranu DC; Hutanu A; Bacarea A +Author NameID + Kosovski, Irina Bianca; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1172-8262 + Ciurea, Cristina Nicoleta; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2262-7456 + Hutanu, Adina; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9798-1594 + Bacarea, Anca; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9473-0287 +Authors Full Name + Kosovski, Irina Bianca; Bacarea, Vladimir; Ghiga, Dana; Ciurea, Cristina Nicoleta; Cucoranu, Dragos Constantin; Hutanu, Adina; Bacarea, Anca. +Institution + Kosovski, Irina Bianca.

This study aims to explore the correlation between hsCRP, IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, and white blood cell count (WBC) and adipometrics (arm, waist, and hip circumferences: AC, WC, HC; total body fat mass: TBFM, visceral fat level: VFL, body mass index: BMI; waist/hip ratio: WHR; waist/height ratio: WHtR) in young and healthy adults aged 20-35 years old. The subjects were divided by BMI into the overweight/obesity (OW/OB) group and normal weight (NW) group, and by hsCRP level into Group 1 (<1 mg/L), Group 2 (>=1-2.99 mg/L), and Group 3 (>=3 mg/L). The concentration of all inflammatory biomarkers was significantly higher in the OW/OB group compared to the NW group, with the exception of IL-1beta. Significant positive correlations were found between hsCRP, TNF-alpha, WBC, and all adipometrics; between IL-6 and WHR, WHtR, BMI, TBFM, and VFL; and between IFN-gamma and HC, BMI, and TBFM. IL-1beta correlates positively with WHR and VFL. In Groups 1-3, all the differences between the adipometrics showed significant differences. Subclinical inflammation persists in association with being overweight and obese in healthy young adults aged 20-35 years old. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-1beta). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fnu16020257 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Kosovski&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Exploring+the+Link+between+Inflammatory+Biomarkers+and+Adipometrics+in+Healthy+Young+Adults+Aged+20-35+Years.&volume=16&issue=2&spage=&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fnu16020257&pmid=38257150&sid=OVID:medline + +<133> +Unique Identifier + 38255954 +Title + Relationships between Circulating Biomarkers and Body Composition Parameters in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome: A Community-Based Study. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 25(2), 2024 Jan 10. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Tarabeih N; Kalinkovich A; Ashkenazi S; Cherny SS; Shalata A; Livshits G +Author NameID + Ashkenazi, Shai; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7244-0679 + Cherny, Stacey S; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0269-3352 + Livshits, Gregory; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3766-7493 +Authors Full Name + Tarabeih, Nader; Kalinkovich, Alexander; Ashkenazi, Shai; Cherny, Stacey S; Shalata, Adel; Livshits, Gregory. +Institution + Tarabeih, Nader.

The search for reliable biomarkers may help to better elucidate its pathogenesis and develop new preventive and therapeutic strategies. In the present population-based study, we looked for biomarkers of MetS among obesity- and inflammation-related circulating factors and body composition parameters in 1079 individuals (with age range between 18 and 80) belonging to an ethnically homogeneous population. Plasma levels of soluble markers were measured by using ELISA. Body composition parameters were assessed using bioimpedance analysis (BIA). Statistical analysis, including mixed-effects regression, with MetS as a dependent variable, revealed that the most significant independent variables were mainly adipose tissue-related phenotypes, including fat mass/weight (FM/WT) [OR (95% CI)], 2.77 (2.01-3.81); leptin/adiponectin ratio (L/A ratio), 1.50 (1.23-1.83); growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) levels, 1.32 (1.08-1.62); inflammatory markers, specifically monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR), 2.53 (2.00-3.15), and a few others. Additive Bayesian network modeling suggests that age, sex, MHR, and FM/WT are directly associated with MetS and probably affect its manifestation. Additionally, MetS may be causing the GDF-15 and L/A ratio. Our novel findings suggest the existence of complex, age-related, and possibly hierarchical relationships between MetS and factors associated with obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Growth Differentiation Factor 15). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Adiponectin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2024 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fijms25020881 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Tarabeih&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Relationships+between+Circulating+Biomarkers+and+Body+Composition+Parameters+in+Patients+with+Metabolic+Syndrome%3A+A+Community-Based+Study.&volume=25&issue=2&spage=881&epage=&date=2024&doi=10.3390%2Fijms25020881&pmid=38255954&sid=OVID:medline + +<134> +Unique Identifier + 38122893 +Title + Loss of mitochondrial adaptation associates with deterioration of mitochondrial turnover and structure in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. +Source + Metabolism: Clinical & Experimental. 151:155762, 2024 Feb. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Sarabhai T; Kahl S; Gancheva S; Mastrototaro L; Dewidar B; Pesta D; Ratter-Rieck JM; Bobrov P; Jeruschke K; Esposito I; Schlensak M; Roden M +Authors Full Name + Sarabhai, Theresia; Kahl, Sabine; Gancheva, Sofiya; Mastrototaro, Lucia; Dewidar, Bedair; Pesta, Dominik; Ratter-Rieck, Jacqueline M; Bobrov, Pavel; Jeruschke, Kay; Esposito, Irene; Schlensak, Matthias; Roden, Michael. +Institution + Sarabhai, Theresia.

In obesity, the liver may adapt its oxidative capacity, but the role of mitochondrial turnover in MASLD remains uncertain. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional study compared individuals with class III obesity (n = 8/group) without (control, OBE CON; NAFLD activity score: 0.4 +/- 0.1) or with steatosis (OBE MASL, 2.3 +/- 0.4), or MASH (OBE MASH, 5.3 +/- 0.3, p < 0.05 vs. other groups). Hepatic mitochondrial ultrastructure was assessed by transmission electron microscopy, mitochondrial respiration by high-resolution respirometry, biomarkers of mitochondrial quality control and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by Western Blot. + + RESULTS: Mitochondrial oxidative capacity was 31 % higher in OBE MASL, but 25 % lower in OBE MASH (p < 0.05 vs. OBE CON). OBE MASH showed ~1.5fold lower mitochondrial number, but ~1.2-1.5fold higher diameter and area (p < 0.001 vs. other groups). Biomarkers of autophagy (p62), mitophagy (PINK1, PARKIN), fission (DRP-1, FIS1) and fusion (MFN1/2, OPA1) were reduced in OBE MASH (p < 0.05 vs. OBE CON). OBE MASL showed lower p62, p-PARKIN/PARKIN, and p-DRP-1 (p < 0.05 vs. OBE CON). OBE MASL and MASH showed higher ER stress markers (PERK, ATF4, p-eIF2alpha-S51/eIF2alpha; p < 0.05 vs. OBE CON). Mitochondrial diameter associated inversely with fusion/fission biomarkers and with oxidative capacity, but positively with H2O2. + + CONCLUSION: Humans with hepatic steatosis already exhibit impaired mitochondrial turnover, despite upregulated oxidative capacity, and evidence for ER stress. In MASH, oxidative stress likely mediates progressive decline of mitochondrial turnover, ultrastructure and respiration indicating that mitochondrial quality control is key for energy metabolism and may have potential for targeting MASH.

The efficacy and safety of boron citrate (BC), a novel therapeutic approach, in patients with obesity are not known. The current trial will take place to determine the effects of BC supplementation on cardiometabolic factors, inflammatory biomarkers, anthropometric measures and body composition in obese patients. + + METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial will involve 60 eligible obese participants aged 18-60 years. Participants will randomly be allocated to receive either BC capsules (containing 10 mg of boron) in the intervention group or placebo capsules (containing 10 mg of maltodextrin) in the placebo group for 12 weeks. Moreover, physical activity and dietary recommendations will be provided for both groups. To assess the dietary intakes of participants, a 3-day food record (2 days of the week and 1 day of the weekend) will be filled. Cardiometabolic factors, inflammatory biomarkers including tumour necrosis factor alpha, C reactive protein, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 levels, anthropometric measures and body composition will be assessed at the baseline and end of the intervention. The findings of this study will provide evidence for the effectiveness of BC in the management of obesity. + + ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: There are so far no reported adverse effects associated with the use of boron. This trial was approved by the Ethics Committee of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences (approval number: IR.TBZMED.REC.1401.350). Positive as well as negative findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: IRCT20220806055624N1. Copyright © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2023.

Body weight, height, waist circumference (WC), and hip and neck circumference were measured and the waist-hip ratio and conicity index were calculated. Selenium in plasma, erythrocytes and urine, erythrocyte GPx activity, lipid profile, Castelli I and II indices, and systolic and diastolic blood (DBP) pressure were evaluated. Mean dietary selenium intake (microg/kg/day) and plasma and erythrocyte concentrations were lower in the obese group compared to the healthy group (p < 0.001). while urinary selenium concentrations were higher (p < 0.001). There was a statistical difference between groups regarding cardiovascular risk parameters: waist circumference, neck circumference, waist-hip ratio, conicity index, triacylglycerols (TGC), and lipoproteins rich in triacylglycerols (VLDL-c) (p > 0.05). There was a negative correlation between plasma selenium concentrations and total cholesterol (TC), non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-c), and systolic blood pressure (SBP). Urinary selenium correlated negatively with waist circumference and hip circumference and positively with neck circumference, TC, TGC, high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c), non-HDL, and VLDL-c. There was a negative correlation between dietary selenium and waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, neck circumference, conicity index, non-HDL cholesterol, LDL-c, and Castelli indices I and II, as well as a positive correlation with HDL-c and diastolic blood pressure. Women with obesity present changes in their nutritional status related to selenium, as well as increased cardiovascular risk parameters. Thus, the positive role of selenium in protecting the risk of cardiovascular disease is likely. Copyright © 2023.

We then assessed whether vaspin is causally associated with T2D and whether genetic variants associated with MRI-measured adiposity depots modulate vaspin levels, using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). + + RESULTS: A 1-SD increase in circulating vaspin levels was associated with a 16% increase in incident T2D in the PURE cohort (hazard ratio 1.16; 95% CI 1.09-1.23; P = 4.26 x 10-7) and prevalent T2D in the ORIGIN cohort (odds ratio [OR] 1.16; 95% CI 1.07-1.25; P = 2.17 x 10-4). A 1-unit increase in BMI and triglyceride levels was associated with a 0.08-SD (95% CI 0.06-0.10; P = 2.04 x 10-15) and 0.06-SD (95% CI 0.04-0.08; P = 4.08 x 10-13) increase, respectively, in vaspin in the PURE group. Consistent associations were observed in the ORIGIN cohort. MR results reinforced the association between vaspin and BMI-adjusted T2D risk (OR 1.01 per 1-SD increase in vaspin level; 95% CI 1.00-1.02; P = 2.86 x 10-2) and showed that vaspin was increased by 0.10 SD per 1-SD decrease in genetically determined gluteofemoral adiposity (95% CI 0.02-0.18; P = 2.01 x 10-2). No relationships were found between subcutaneous or visceral adiposity and vaspin. + + CONCLUSIONS: These findings support that higher vaspin levels are related to increased T2D risk and reduced gluteofemoral adiposity, positioning vaspin as a promising clinical predictor for T2D.

Haptoglobin serum levels have recently been recognized as an important biomarker linking obesity with chronic inflammation. + + OBJECTIVE: To compare haptoglobin with previously proposed serum biomarkers for the determination of disease severity in HS patients. For this purpose, disease severity of HS patients was determined by a panel of clinical scores as well as several risk factors, such as weight and smoking habits. + + METHODS: A prospective, diagnostic accuracy study was performed at the International Centre for Hidradenitis suppurativa/Acne inversa Bochum (ICH). The study included a total of 263 patients, including 131 who had a confirmed diagnosis of HS in Hurley I (n = 16), II (n = 56) and III (n = 59) HS, and 132 healthy controls. The main outcome was to identify serological inflammatory markers for HS disease severity [severe (III) vs. moderate/mild (II/I)] as assessed by Hurley classification. + + RESULTS: The serum levels of acute phase proteins haptoglobin and CRP, as well as the number of neutrophils in peripheral blood, number of monocytes, the systemic immune-inflammation index and the pan-immune-inflammatory value correlated with disease severity according to established clinical scores (mHSS, SAHS, Hurley, DLQI). HS patients had significantly higher haptologlobin levels compared to healthy controls. Logistic regression analysis revealed haptoglobin as the only independent marker predicting severe HS. + + CONCLUSION: In this prospective study, we discovered that the serum levels of the acute phase protein haptoglobin levels serve as an independent marker of disease severity in HS. While this presents the first study in the context of HS. Thus, the present data not only yield a highly promising serum marker to be further validated. Copyright © 2023 The Authors.

Several studies have revealed that higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with increasing risk of developing diabetes. In this study, we perform a protocol for systematic review to explore metabolite biomarkers that could be used to identify T2DM in obese subjects. + + METHODS: The protocol of this review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023405518). Three databases, EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science were selected to collect potential literature from their inceptions to July December 2023. Data for collection will include title, authors, study subjects, publication date, sample size, detection and analytical platforms, participant characteristics, biological samples, confounding factors, methods of statistical analysis, the frequency and directions of changes in potential metabolic biomarkers, and major findings. Pathway analysis of differential metabolites will be performed with MetaboAnalyst 5.0 based on the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and the Human Metabolome Database. + + RESULTS: The results of this systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. + + CONCLUSION: This systematic review will summarize the potential biomarkers and metabolic pathways to provide a new reference for the prevention and treatment of T2DM in obese subjects.

For the fabrication of the immunosensor, a novel approach composed of electrochemical copolymerization of double epoxy groups-substituted thiophene (ThidEp) and 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) monomers was utilized. Anti-resistin antibodies were covalently attached to the copolymer-coated electrode. The capture of resistin antigens by anti-resistin antibodies caused significant variations in charge transfer resistance (Rct) because of the immunoreactions between these proteins. Under optimum experimental variables, the changes in impedance signals were employed for the determination of resistin antigen concentration, and the prepared immunosensor based on conjugated copolymer illustrated a wide linear range between 0.0125 and 22.5 pg/mL, a low detection limit (LOD) of 3.71 fg/mL, and a good sensitivity of 1.22 kOMEGA pg-1mL cm2. The excellent analytical performance of the resistin immunosensor in terms of selectivity, sensitivity, repeatability, reproducibility, storage stability, and low detection limit might be attributed to the conductive copolymer film layer generation on the disposable indium tin oxide (ITO) platform. The capability of this system for the determination of resistin in human serum and saliva samples was also tested. The immunosensor results were in accordance with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results. The matrix effects of human serum and saliva were also investigated, and the proposed immunosensor displayed good recovery ranging from 95.91 to 106.25%. The engineered immunosensor could open new avenues for obesity monitoring. Copyright © 2024.

We investigated the influence of food intake on AD-related biomarkers in cognitively healthy, obese adults at high metabolic risk. + + METHODS: One-hundred eleven participants underwent repeated blood sampling during 3 h after a standardized meal (postprandial group, PG). For comparison, blood was sampled from a fasting subgroup over 3 h (fasting group, FG). Plasma neurofilament light (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), amyloid-beta (Abeta) 42/40, phosphorylated tau (p-tau) 181 and 231, and total-tau were measured via single molecule array assays. + + RESULTS: Significant differences were found for NfL, GFAP, Abeta42/40, p-tau181, and p-tau231 between FG and PG. The greatest change to baseline occurred for GFAP and p-tau181 (120 min postprandially, p < 0.0001). + + CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that AD-related biomarkers are altered by food intake. Further studies are needed to verify whether blood biomarker sampling should be performed in the fasting state. + + HIGHLIGHTS: Acute food intake alters plasma biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease in obese, otherwise healthy adults. We also found dynamic fluctuations in plasma biomarkers concentration in the fasting state suggesting physiological diurnal variations. Further investigations are highly needed to verify if biomarker measurements should be performed in the fasting state and at a standardized time of day to improve the diagnostic accuracy.

Our study aimed to investigate the specific relationship between the TyG index and all-cause mortality among obese population. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: 6731 participants with obesity were enrolled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The TyG index was calculated as log [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) x fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. The baseline levels of TyG associated with the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were evaluated by Cox proportional hazards models. After a follow-up of 16.7 years, 693 all-cause death and 133 cardiovascular deaths occurred. Dose-response curve showed that the association of the risk of all-cause mortality was non-linear (p = 0.019) and the corresponding TyG index ranged 8.78 to 9.64 for the lowest risk. Compared with the reference quartile of 8.79-9.22, the multivariate-adjusted hazards ratios were 1.32 ((95% confidence interval 1.03-1.70; p = 0.030) in the lowest quartile for all-cause mortality, and 0.55 (0.32-0.93; p = 0.025) in the second quartile for cardiovascular mortality. + + CONCLUSIONS: TyG index was associated with the risk of all-cause mortality in obese participants and the level associated with the lowest risk was 8.78-9.64.

Fish oil (FO) has several benefits in reducing obesity, but its intergenerational role in reducing the effects of paternal obesity has not been established. Hence, we hypothesized that FO supplementation to an obese father during the pre-conceptional period could improve the metabolic health of the offspring, specifically in the liver. Three groups of male mice were fed with a low-fat (LF), high-fat (HF), or high-fat diet supplemented with FO (HF-FO) for 10 weeks and were then allowed to mate with female mice fed a chow diet. Offspring were sacrificed at 16 weeks. The liver tissue was harvested for genomic and histological analyses. The offspring of HF and HF-FO fathers were heavier compared to that of the LF mice during 9-16 weeks. The glucose tolerance of the offspring of HF-FO fathers were significantly improved as compared to the offspring of HF fathers. Paternal FO supplementation significantly lowered inflammation and fatty acid synthesis biomarkers and increased fatty acid oxidation biomarkers in the offspring liver. In summary, FO supplementation in fathers shows the potential to reduce metabolic and cardiovascular diseases through genetic means in offspring. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Fish Oils). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=medl&DO=10.3390%2fnu15245038 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Shrestha&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Effects+of+Fish+Oil+Supplementation+on+Reducing+the+Effects+of+Paternal+Obesity+and+Preventing+Fatty+Liver+in+Offspring.&volume=15&issue=24&spage=&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.3390%2Fnu15245038&pmid=38140297&sid=OVID:medline + +<145> +Unique Identifier + 37589958 +Title + Effects of Bariatric Surgery on Blood and Vascular Large Extracellular Vesicles According to Type 2 Diabetes Status. +Source + Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. 109(1):e107-e118, 2023 Dec 21. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Pane A; Viaplana J; Giro O; Llopis J; Ibarzabal A; de Hollanda A; Vidal J; Ortega E; Jimenez A; Chiva-Blanch G +Author NameID + Pane, Adriana; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7810-1827 + Viaplana, Judith; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8560-0309 + Giro, Oriol; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0941-6542 + Ibarzabal, Ainitze; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1220-6474 + de Hollanda, Ana; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9114-8614 + Vidal, Josep; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4564-4518 + Ortega, Emilio; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2217-8905 + Jimenez, Amanda; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4967-1174 + Chiva-Blanch, Gemma; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6093-0160 +Authors Full Name + Pane, Adriana; Viaplana, Judith; Giro, Oriol; Llopis, Jaume; Ibarzabal, Ainitze; de Hollanda, Ana; Vidal, Josep; Ortega, Emilio; Jimenez, Amanda; Chiva-Blanch, Gemma. +Institution + Pane, Adriana.

Although bariatric surgery (BS) in individuals with obesity is related to decreased cardiovascular (CV) risk and increased life expectancy, after BS these subjects are still at higher CV risk than the general population. + + OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare the lEV profiles between individuals with obesity, with or without T2D, before and 1 year after BS, and normal-weight controls. + + METHODS: Prospective longitudinal study with individuals eligible for BS, with or without T2D (T2D and OB groups, respectively) and healthy controls (HC group) matched by age and sex. The concentration and phenotype of lEVs were assessed by flow cytometry. + + RESULTS: The study cohort included 108 individuals (age 48.0 +/- 10.5 years; 84.3% females). Before BS, the OB group presented higher concentrations of lEV enriched for endothelial and blood cell biomarkers than the HC group, but lower concentrations than those observed in the T2D group (P < .05). BS resulted in a significant reduction in most of the lEVs enriched for cell-specific markers in both subgroups. lEV differences between OB and T2D groups were no longer observed after BS (P > .05). However, compared with HC group, OB and T2D groups still showed increased concentrations of lEVs enriched for platelet and endothelial cell markers (P < .05). + + CONCLUSION: At 1 year after BS, lEV concentrations remain above the physiological range. These abnormalities might contribute to explaining the increased CV risk after BS and underscore the importance of long-term CV risk factor control in post-BS individuals.

Approximately 70 clinical, lipid, lipoprotein, inflammatory, and metabolic markers, and genetic risk scores (GRSs) were analyzed. Stratified Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for T2D with age of diagnosis divided into 4 groups (<=50.0, 50.1-60.0, 60.1-70.0, and >70.0 years). + + RESULTS: During 11 years of follow-up, 15 805 incident T2D were identified. Among clinical risk factors, obesity had the highest HR at any age, ranging from 13.16 (95% CI, 9.67-17.91) for 50.0 years and younger to 4.13 (3.78-4.51) for older than 70.0 years. Other risks associated with T2D onset at age 50.0 years and younger included dyslipidemia (3.50, 2.91-4.20), hypertension (3.21, 2.71-3.80), cardiovascular disease (2.87, 2.13-3.87), parental history of diabetes (2.42, 2.04-2.86), education lower than college (1.89, 1.57-2.27), physical inactivity (1.73, 1.43-2.10), smoking (1.38, 1.13-1.68), several lipoprotein particles, inflammatory markers, liver enzymes, fatty acids, amino acids, as well as GRS. Associations of most risk factors and biomarkers were markedly attenuated with increasing age at onset (P interaction <.05), and some were not significant for onset at age older than 70.0 years, such as smoking, systolic blood pressure, and apolipoprotein B. + + CONCLUSION: Most risk factors or biomarkers had stronger relative risks for T2D at younger ages, which emphasizes the necessity of promoting primary prevention among younger individuals. Moreover, obesity should be prioritized. Copyright © The Author(s) 2023. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Endocrine Society. All rights reserved.

Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. Patients with Metabolic Syndrome (MS group), patients with stable coronary heart disease (coronary heart disease group), and overweight or obese individuals (control group) recruited from the Central District of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 2017 to 2019 were assigned to the training set, meanwhile, the corresponding three groups of people recruited from the East District of the hospital during the same period were assigned to the validation test. The serum metabolomics profiles were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS). Clinical characteristics (age, gender, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), creatinine (CR)) were also collected. Based on the orthogonal partial least-squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) model, the significantly changed metabolites for MS and coronary artery disease patients were screened according to variable important in projection (VIP), and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was evaluated for the risk prediction values of changed metabolites. Results: A total of 488 subjects were recruited in this study, the training set included 40 MS, 249 coronary artery disease patients and 148 controls, the validation set included 16 MS, 18 coronary artery disease patients and 17 controls. We made comparisons of the serum metabolites of coronary artery disease vs. controls, MS vs. controls, and coronary artery disease vs. MS, and a total of 22 different metabolites were identified. The disturbed metabolic pathways involved were phospholipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, purine metabolism and other pathways. Through cross-comparisons, we identified 2 specific metabolites for MS (phosphatidylcholine (18:1(9Z)e/20) and pipecolic acid), 4 specific metabolites for coronary artery disease (lysophosphatidylcholine (17:0), PC(16:0/16:0), hypoxanthine and histidine), and 4 common metabolites both for MS and coronary artery disease (isoleucine, phenylalanine, glutathione and LysoPC(14:0)). Based on the cut-off values from ROC curve, the predictive value of the above metabolites for the occurrence of MS in overweight or obese populations is 100%, the predictive value for the occurrence of coronary heart disease is 87.5%, and the risk predictive value for coronary heart disease in MS patients is 82.1%. Conclusions: The altered serum metabolites suggest that MS and coronary heart disease may involve multiple metabolic pathway disorders. Specific metabolites based on serum metabolomics have good predictive value for the occurrence of MS and coronary heart disease in overweight or obese populations. +Other Abstract + Publisher + : , (MS) , MS : 2017-2019 MS (MS ) ( ) ( ) , 3 - / , , (FPG) (HbA1c) (ALT) (AST) (eGFR) (CR) (OPLS-DA) , (VIP) MS (ROC) : 488 , MS 40 249 148 ; MS 16 18 17 MS MS , 22 , 2 MS [ (18:1(9Z)e/2:0) ] 4 [ (17:0) PC(16:0/16:0) ] 4 MS [ (14:0)] , MS 100%, 87.5%, MS 82.1% : MS MS . + Language: Chinese +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + English Abstract.

Data from prior microarray analysis (Agilent 244 K arrays) conducted in 10 mice were utilized to assess associations between diet and angiogenetic biomarkers. Agilent (mouse) and Affymetrix Human Genome U133a probes were linked to 162 angiogenic-related genes. The associations between biomarkers, BMI, and OS were evaluated in an HGSC internal database (IDB) (n = 40). Genes with unadjusted p < 0.05 were evaluated for association with OS in the TCGA-OV database (n = 339). + + RESULTS: There was no association between CD-31 and diet in mice (p = 0.66). Sixteen angiogenic-related genes passed the p < 0.05 threshold for association with HFD vs. LFD. Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGFA) demonstrated 72% higher expression in HFD vs. LFD mice (p = 0.04). Similar to the mouse study, in our HGSC IDB, higher TGFA expression correlated with higher BMI (p = 0.01) and shorter survival (p = 0.001). In the TCGA-OV dataset, BMI data was not available and there was no association between TGFA and OS (p = 0.48). + + CONCLUSIONS: HFD and obesity may promote tumor progression via differential modulation of TGFA. We were unable to confirm this finding in the TCGA dataset. Further evaluation of TGFA is needed to determine if this is a target unique to obesity-driven HGSC. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of increasing light PA (LPA) or moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) for 12 weeks on cardiometabolic markers in Chinese adults with obesity. Fifty-three adults were randomly assigned to the 1) control group, 2) LPA group, and 3) MVPA group in free-living settings. The intervention effects on body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiometabolic biomarkers were analysed using a generalized estimated equation model adjusted for baseline values and potential confounders. Compared with the control group, the MVPA group showed improvements in body composition, lipids, C-peptide, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), interleukin-8, leptin, and E-selectin. A favourable change in triglycerides and E-selectin were observed in the LPA group when compared to the control group. Lastly, improvements in waist circumference, C-reactive protein, and MCP-1 were observed in the MVPA group when compared to those in the LPA group. Although increasing both LPA and MVPA improved certain cardiometabolic biomarkers, the latter may have more benefits. These findings imply that MVPA may reduce cardiometabolic disease risk more effectively than LPA, especially in Chinese adults with obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (E-Selectin). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Randomized Controlled Trial.

Fast and reliable diagnosis of COVID-19 disease would allow better therapeutic interventions for patients at risk to develop more severe outcomes. Cell-free RNAs (cfRNAs) have been proven to be an effective biomarker in cancer and infectious diseases. It has been reported that cfRNAs are amplified in the bloodstream of these patients and at earlier stages of the disease, reflecting tissue damage. Hence, we hypothesize that cfRNAs may serve as a potential indicator of COVID-19 disease severity. To our knowledge, this is the first report to display a significant link between COVID-19 severity and cfRNA of angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2), the receptor for SARS-CoV-2 virus. qRT-PCR analysis of liquid biopsies from COVID-19 patients (n = 82) displayed a significant increase in ACE2-cfRNA levels in patients with severe manifestations. This finding correlated with blood biomarkers (ANC, WBC, and Creatinine) that were also significantly increased in these patients. We previously showed that bronchial cells from obese subjects express higher ACE2 levels, hence, we further analysed the involvement of obesity as a main contributor to severe outcomes. We confirm a significant increase of ACE2-cfRNA in the plasma of obese/overweight (Ob/Ov) COVID-19 patients compared to lean subjects, with no observed significant change in blood biomarkers. These findings suggest that monitoring ACE2-cfRNAs, as a biomarker, during COVID-19 infection may allow for better disease management, specifically for severe-COVID-19 patients.

We examined associations between radiographically assessed body composition (BC) variables and body mass index (BMI) with clinical outcomes for patients with mRCC receiving first-line ipilimumab + nivolumab (ipi/nivo). + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with mRCC treated with first-line ipi/nivo at one institution before June 1, 2021 with an analyzable baseline computed tomography (CT) scan. BC variables (skeletal muscle index [SMI], subcutaneous adipose tissue index [SATI], and visceral adipose tissue index [VATI]) were measured using baseline CT scans. Relationships between BC variables and clinical outcomes were examined using Cox proportional hazard regression models. + + RESULTS: Ninety-nine patients were analyzed (74% male, 64% overweight/obese, 75% low SMI). Controlling for age, IMDC risk, and sex (for BMI analyses), high vs. low SMI (HR=2.433, CI: 1.397-4.238, P=.0017), high vs. low SATI (HR=1.641, CI: 1.023-2.632, P=.0398), and obese BMI (>= 30 kg/m2) vs. normal/overweight BMI (<30 kg/m2) (HR=1.859, CI: 1.156-2.989, P=.0105) were significantly associated with progression-free survival (PFS). Median overall survival (OS) for low SMI patients was higher (42.74 months, CI: 26.84, NR) than median OS for high SMI patients (27.01 months, CI: 15.28, NR) (adjusted HR=1.728, CI: 0.909-3.285, P=.0952). No BC variables were significantly associated with OS or objective response rate. + + CONCLUSIONS: Low SMI and low SATI were associated with significantly better PFS for patients with mRCC receiving first-line ipi/nivo. Radiographic BC variables may be useful prognostic biomarkers in this setting. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

Established risk factors and associated disease progression are harder to reverse as they become entrenched over time; if current trends are unchecked, the consequences for individual and societal wellness will become untenable. Interrelated root causes of ectopic adiposity and insulin resistance are understood but identified late in the trajectory of systemic metabolic dysregulation when traditional cardiometabolic risk factors cross current diagnostic thresholds of disease. Thus, children at cardiometabolic risk are often exposed to suboptimal metabolism over years before they present with clinical symptoms, at which point life-long reliance on pharmacotherapy may only mitigate but not reverse the risk. Leading-edge indicators are needed to detect the earliest departure from healthy metabolism, so that targeted, primordial, and primary prevention of cardiometabolic risk is possible. Better understanding of biomarkers that reflect the earliest transitions to dysmetabolism, beginning in utero, ideally biomarkers that are also mechanistic/causal and modifiable, is critically needed. This scientific statement explores emerging biomarkers of cardiometabolic risk across rapidly evolving and interrelated "omic" fields of research (the epigenome, microbiome, metabolome, lipidome, and inflammasome). Connections in each domain to mitochondrial function are identified that may mediate the favorable responses of each of the omic biomarkers featured to a heart-healthy lifestyle, notably to nutritional interventions. Fuller implementation of evidence-based nutrition must address environmental and socioeconomic disparities that can either facilitate or impede response to therapy. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Thus, recent guidelines suggest extending the follow-up period to 1 yr after delivery. We aimed to evaluate cardiovascular remodeling during pregnancy and determine which CVR factors and potential biomarkers predict postpartum cardiac and vascular reverse remodeling (RR). Our study included a prospective cohort of 76 healthy and 54 obese and/or hypertensive and/or with gestational diabetes pregnant women who underwent transthoracic echocardiography, pulse-wave velocity (PWV), and blood collection at the 1st trimester (1T) and 3rd trimester (3T) of pregnancy as well as at the 1st/6th/12th mo after delivery. Generalized linear mixed-effects models was used to evaluate the extent of RR and its potential predictors. Pregnant women develop cardiac hypertrophy, as confirmed by a significant increase in left ventricular mass (LVM). Moreover, ventricular filling pressure (E/e') and atrial volume increased significantly during gestation. Significant regression of left ventricular (LV) volume, LVM, and filling pressures was observed as soon as 1 mo postpartum. The LV global longitudinal strain worsened slightly and recovered at 6 mo postpartum. PWV decreased significantly from 1T to 3T and normalized at 1 mo postpartum. We found that arterial hypertension, smoking habits, and obesity were independent predictors of increased LVM during pregnancy and postpartum. High C-reactive protein (CRP) and low ST2/IL33-receptor levels are potential circulatory biomarkers of worse LVM regression. Arterial hypertension, age, and gestational diabetes positively correlated with PWV. Altogether, our findings pinpoint arterial hypertension as a critical risk factor for worse RR and CRP, and ST2/IL33 receptors as potential biomarkers of postpartum hypertrophy reversal. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study describes the impact of cardiovascular risk factors (CVR) in pregnancy-induced remodeling and postpartum reverse remodeling (up to 1 yr) by applying advanced statistic methods (multivariate generalized linear mixed-effects models) to a prospective cohort of pregnant women. Aiming to extrapolate to pathological conditions, this invaluable "human model" allowed us to demonstrate that arterial hypertension is a critical CVR for worse RR and that ST2/IL33-receptors and CRP are potential biomarkers of postpartum hypertrophy reversal. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Interleukin-1 Receptor-Like 1 Protein). 0 (Interleukin-33). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We sought to examine the association of obesity-related biomarkers including adipokines (leptin, resistin, adiponectin), inflammatory markers (CRP [C-reactive protein], IL-6 [interleukin-6]), and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) with HFpEF status, exercise capacity, and cardiovascular outcomes. + + METHODS: We studied 509 consecutive patients with left ventricular ejection fraction >=50% and chronic dyspnea, who underwent clinically indicated cardiopulmonary exercise test with invasive hemodynamic monitoring between 2006 and 2017. We defined HFpEF based on the presence of elevated left ventricular filling pressures at rest or during exercise. Fasting blood samples collected at the time of the cardiopulmonary exercise test were used to assay obesity-related biomarkers. We examined the association of log-transformed biomarkers with HFpEF status and exercise traits using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models. + + RESULTS: We observed associations of obesity-related biomarkers with measures of impaired exercise capacity including peak VO2 (P<=0.002 for all biomarkers). The largest effect size was seen with leptin, where a 1-SD higher leptin was associated with a 2.35 mL/kg per min lower peak VO2 (beta, -2.35+/-0.19; P<0.001). In addition, specific biomarkers were associated with distinct measures of exercise reserve including blood pressure (homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, leptin, adiponectin; P<=0.002 for all), and chronotropic response (CRP, IL-6, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, leptin, and resistin; P<0.05 for all). Our findings suggest that among the obesity-related biomarkers studied, higher levels of leptin and CRP are independently associated with increased odds of HFpEF, with odds ratios of 1.36 (95% CI, 1.09-1.70) and 1.25 (95% CI, 1.03-1.52), respectively. + + CONCLUSIONS: Specific obesity-related pathways including inflammation, adipokine signaling, and insulin resistance may underlie the association of obesity with HFpEF and exercise intolerance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Leptin). 0 (Resistin). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Individuals with PWS exhibit unique physical, endocrine, and metabolic traits associated with severe obesity. Identifying liver steatosis in PWS is challenging, despite its lower prevalence compared to non-syndromic obesity. Reliable biomarkers are crucial for the early detection and management of this condition associated with the complex metabolic profile and cardiovascular risks in PWS. + + Methods: Circulating proteome profiling was conducted in 29 individuals with PWS (15 with steatosis, 14 without) using the Olink Target 96 metabolism and cardiometabolic panels. Correlation analysis was performed to identify the association between protein biomarkes and clinical variables, while the gene enrichment analysis was conducted to identify pathways linked to deregulated proteins. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves assessed the discriminatory power of circulating protein while a logistic regression model evaluated the potential of a combination of protein biomarkers. + + Results: CDH2, CTSO, QDPR, CANT1, ALDH1A1, TYMP, ADGRE, KYAT1, MCFD, SEMA3F, THOP1, TXND5, SSC4D, FBP1, and CES1 exhibited a significant differential expression in liver steatosis, with a progressive increase from grade 1 to grade 3. FBP1, CES1, and QDPR showed predominant liver expression. The logistic regression model, -34.19 + 0.85 * QDPR*QDPR + 0.75 * CANT1*TYMP - 0.46 * THOP1*ALDH1A, achieved an AUC of 0.93 (95% CI: 0.63-0.99), with a sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 80% for detecting steatosis in individuals with PWS. These biomarkers showed strong correlations among themselves and were involved in an interconnected network of 62 nodes, related to seven metabolic pathways. They were also significantly associated with cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, transaminases, HbA1c, FLI, APRI, and HOMA, and showed a negative correlation with HDL levels. + + Conclusion: The biomarkers identified in this study offer the potential for improved patient stratification and personalized therapeutic protocols.

We explored cardiovascular disease biomarkers, events, and mortality in the UK Biobank stratified by BMI and diabetes. + + RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 451,355 participants were stratified by ethnicity-specific BMI categories (normal, overweight, obese) and diabetes status. We examined cardiovascular biomarkers including carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), arterial stiffness, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and cardiac contractility index (CCI). Poisson regression models estimated adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and cardiovascular death, with normal-weight nondiabetes as comparator. + + RESULTS: Five percent of participants had diabetes (10% normal weight, 34% overweight, and 55% obese vs. 34%, 43%, and 23%, respectively, without diabetes). In the nondiabetes group, overweight/obesity was associated with higher CIMT, arterial stiffness, and CCI and lower LVEF (P < 0.005); these relationships were diminished in the diabetes group. Within BMI classes, diabetes was associated with adverse cardiovascular biomarker phenotype (P < 0.005), particularly in the normal-weight group. After 5,323,190 person-years follow-up, incident myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and cardiovascular mortality rose across increasing BMI categories without diabetes (P < 0.005); this was comparable in the diabetes groups (P-interaction > 0.05). Normal-weight diabetes had comparable adjusted cardiovascular mortality to obese nondiabetes (IRR 1.22 [95% CI 0.96-1.56]; P = 0.1). + + CONCLUSIONS: Obesity and diabetes are additively associated with adverse cardiovascular biomarkers and mortality risk. While adiposity metrics are more strongly correlated with cardiovascular biomarkers than diabetes-oriented metrics, both correlate weakly, suggesting that other factors underpin the high cardiovascular risk of normal-weight diabetes.

Liver disease severity was blindly evaluated (magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction [MRI-PDFF], iron-corrected T1 [cT1], liver stiffness on magnetic resonance elastography [MRE], and liver stiffness on vibration-controlled transient elastography [VCTE]). Safety signals included liver biochemical markers and adverse events. + + RESULTS: A total of 14 participants (87.5%) completed the intervention. Weight loss was 15% (95% CI: 11.2%-18.6%) at 24 weeks. Compared with baseline, MRI-PDFF reduced by 13.1% (95% CI: 8.9%-16.7%), cT1 by 159 milliseconds (95% CI: 108-216.5), MRE liver stiffness by 0.4 kPa (95% CI: 0.1-0.8), and VCTE liver stiffness by 3.9 kPa (95% CI: 2.6-7.2) at 24 weeks. The proportions with clinically relevant reductions in MRI-PDFF (>=30%), cT1 (>=88 milliseconds), MRE liver stiffness (>=19%), and VCTE liver stiffness (>=19%) were 93%, 77%, 57%, and 93%, respectively. Liver biochemical markers improved. There were no serious intervention-related adverse events. + + CONCLUSIONS: The intervention demonstrates high adherence, favorable safety profile, and promising efficacy as a treatment for NASH.

However, limited data is available on this special group. To investigate the clinical and proteomic characteristics of lean subjects with NAFLD, and to identify potential clinical variables and plasma proteins for diagnosing NAFLD in lean individuals, we collected clinical data from a large cohort of 2,236 subjects. + + Methods: Diagnosis of NAFLD relied on detecting pronounced hepatic steatosis through abdominal ultrasonography. Participants were categorized into four groups based on body mass index: overweight NAFLD, overweight control, lean NAFLD, and lean control. Plasma proteomic profiling was performed on samples from 20 subjects in each group. The lean NAFLD group was compared to both lean healthy and obese NAFLD groups across all data. + + Results and discussion: The results indicated that the lean NAFLD group exhibited intermediate metabolic profiles, falling between those of the lean healthy and overweight NAFLD groups. Proteomic profiling of plasma in lean subjects with or without NAFLD revealed 45 statistically significant changes in proteins, of which 37 showed high diagnostic value (AUC > 0.7) for lean NAFLD. These potential biomarkers primarily involved lipid metabolism, the immune and complement systems, and platelet degranulation. Furthermore, AFM, GSN, CFH, HGFAC, MMP2, and MMP9 have been previously associated with NAFLD or NAFLD-related factors such as liver damage, insulin resistance, metabolic syndromes, and extracellular homeostasis. Overall, lean individuals with NAFLD exhibit distinct clinical profiles compared to overweight individuals with NAFLD. Despite having worse metabolic profiles than their healthy counterparts, lean NAFLD patients generally experience milder systemic metabolic disturbances compared to obese NAFLD patients. Additionally, the plasma proteomic profile is significantly altered in lean NAFLD, highlighting the potential of differentially expressed proteins as valuable biomarkers or therapeutic targets for diagnosing and treating NAFLD in this population.

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 32 patients with severe obesity (16 males and 16 females) of Central European descent who underwent bariatric surgery. Clinical parameters and body composition were assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and bioelectrical impedance, with 15 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 17 with hypertension. Paired SAT and VAT samples, along with serum samples, were subjected to state-of-the-art proteomics liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Our analysis identified 7,284 proteins across SAT and VAT, with 1,249 differentially expressed proteins between the tissues and 1,206 proteins identified in serum. Correlation analyses between differential protein expression and clinical traits suggest a significant role of SAT in the pathogenesis of obesity and related metabolic complications. Specifically, the SAT proteomic profile revealed marked alterations in metabolic pathways and processes contributing to tissue fibrosis and inflammation. Although we do not establish a definitive causal relationship, it appears that VAT might respond to SAT metabolic dysfunction by potentially enhancing mitochondrial activity and expanding its capacity. However, when this adaptive response is exceeded, it could possibly contribute to insulin resistance (IR) and in some cases, it may be associated with the progression to T2D. Our findings provide critical insights into the molecular foundations of SAT and VAT in obesity and may inform the development of targeted therapeutic strategies. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study provides insights into distinct proteomic profiles of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and serum in patients with severe obesity and their associations with clinical traits and body composition. It underscores SAT's crucial role in obesity development and related complications, such as insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Our findings emphasize the importance of understanding the SAT and VAT balance in energy homeostasis, proteostasis, and the potential role of SAT capacity in the development of metabolic disorders. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Proteins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Here, we identified soluble CUB domain-containing protein 1 (sCDCP1) as a top-ranked non-invasive biomarker for NASH using Olink-based proteomics in 238 obese individuals with liver biopsies. Both the circulating concentration and hepatic mRNA abundance of sCDCP1 were significantly elevated in patients with NASH and correlated closely with each histological feature of NASH. In the pooled multicenter validation cohort, sCDCP1 as a standalone biomarker achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of 0.838 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.789-0.887) for diagnosing NASH, which is better than those achieved with cytokeratin-18 and other non-invasive tests. Furthermore, the C-DAG model established by the combination of sCDCP1 with diabetes, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and gender accurately rules in and rules out both NASH and fibrotic NASH (gray zones <20%). Thus, sCDCP1-based non-invasive tests can be potentially implemented for screening and early diagnosis of NASH and for ruling out low-risk individuals to avoid unnecessary liver biopsies.

As driving factors for IR, we examined body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) among postmenopausal women in association with COVID-19 outcomes (positivity and hospitalization), and the role of glucose homeostasis as a mediator of this relationship. + + METHODS: Associations of BMI and WC at baseline (1993-1998) with COVID-19 outcomes collected at Survey 1 (June-December, 2020) and/or Survey 2 (September-December, 2021) were evaluated among 42,770 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) participants (baseline age: 59.36 years) of whom 16,526 self-reported having taken >=1 COVID-19 test, with 1242 reporting >=1 positive COVID-19 test and 362 reporting >=1 COVID-19 hospitalization. We applied logistic regression and causal mediation analyses to sub-samples with available fasting biomarkers of glucose homeostasis (glucose, insulin, Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance, Homeostasis Model Assessment for beta-cell function, Quantitative Insulin-sensitivity Check Index, Triglyceride-Glucose index (TyG)) at baseline, whereby 57 of 759 reported COVID-19 test positivity and 23 of 1896 reported COVID-19 hospitalization. + + RESULTS: In fully adjusted models, higher BMI, WC and TyG were associated with COVID-19 test positivity and hospitalization. Glucose concentrations mediated associations of BMI and WC with COVID-19 positivity, whereas TyG mediated BMI and WC's associations with COVID-19 hospitalization. + + CONCLUSIONS: Obesity and central obesity markers collected an average of 24 years prior were associated with COVID-19 outcomes among postmenopausal women.

Closed-loop deep-brain stimulation (DBS) for binge eating should predict LOC and trigger an appropriately timed intervention. + + OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS: This study aimed to identify a sensitive and specific biomarker to detect LOC onset for DBS. We hypothesized that changes in phase-locking value (PLV) predict the onset of LOC-associated cravings and distinguish them from potential confounding states. + + METHODS: Using DBS data recorded from the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of two patients with binge eating disorder (BED) and severe obesity, we compared PLV between inter- and intra-hemispheric NAc subregions for three behavioral conditions: craving (associated with LOC eating), hunger (not associated with LOC), and sleep. + + RESULTS: In both patients, PLV in the high gamma frequency band was significantly higher for craving compared to sleep and significantly higher for hunger compared to craving. Maximum likelihood classifiers achieved accuracies above 88% when differentiating between the three conditions. + + CONCLUSIONS: High-frequency inter- and intra-hemispheric PLV in the NAc is a promising biomarker for closed-loop DBS that differentiates LOC-associated cravings from physiologic states such as hunger and sleep. Future trials should assess PLV as a LOC biomarker across a larger cohort and a wider patient population transdiagnostically. Copyright © 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Low concentrations of NT-proBNP were defined as concentrations below the limit of quantification (5.9 pmol/L). Associations were explored with multivariable logistic regression analyses adjusted for relevant confounders. + + Results: We identified 471 (58%) individuals with low concentrations of NT-proBNP. Increasing BMI was associated with higher odds of low NT-proBNP (adjusted OR (aOR) 1.06 (95% CI: 1.01-1.11) per 1 kg/m2). Central obesity and large areas of VAT were associated with higher odds of low NT-proBNP (aOR 1.66 (1.16-2.36) and aOR 1.69 (1.09-2.62), respectively). Higher adiponectin was associated with lower odds of low NT-proBNP (aOR 0.86 (0.79-0.95) per 10% increase). No associations were found between low NT-proBNP and HIV-specific risk factors. + + Conclusions: In PWH, low NT-proBNP is associated with an adverse adipose tissue profile with high BMI, central obesity, accumulation of VAT, and low adiponectin.

This study aimed to investigate the association between biomarkers of redox status and cytokines with different patterns of HPA according to the adiposity of preschoolers. + + METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 50 preschoolers (25 overweight/obese, OW/OB and 25 eutrophic, EU), matched for age, sex, economic level, and maternal education. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, substances reactive to thiobarbituric acid (TBARS), soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors (sTNFRs), and leptin levels were evaluated. HPA levels were evaluated by accelerometry (ActiGraph GT9X accelerometer). Correlation, multiple linear regression, and partial least squares regression analysis were used to determine the association between redox status biomarkers and cytokines with different patterns of HPA (HPA level, bouts of moderate to vigorous physical activity [MVPA], and multivariate pattern of HPA) in EU and OW/OB preschoolers. + + RESULTS: OW/OB preschoolers had lower CAT activity, higher levels of TAC, TBARS, and cytokines, and similar levels of HPA to EU preschoolers. In EU preschoolers, SOD activity exhibited a stronger negative association with moderate intensity ranges of HPA (R2 = 0.18), and negative correlation with sTNFRs (r = -0.40 to -0.46). TBARS had a stronger positive association with ranges of light intensity in the multivariate pattern of HPA (R2 = 0.10). In OW/OB preschoolers, the HPA multivariate associative pattern was predominantly from vigorous intensity ranges. Thus, SOD activity had a positive association with the multivariate pattern of HPA (R2 = 0.38) and MVPA bouts (beta [95% CI] = 0.457 [0.0026. 0.0576]). TAC had a negative association with the multivariate pattern of HPA (R2 = 0.38) and MVPA bouts (beta [95% CI] = -0.718 [-0.0025. -0.0003]). Additionally, leptin levels were lower in OW/OB preschoolers engaged in vigorous physical activity (VPA) (8000-9999 counts/min) for longer periods of time. + + CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that OW/OB preschoolers have higher levels of oxidative stress biomarkers and pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to EU preschoolers. Moreover, VPA may exert antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects in OW/OB preschoolers. Copyright © 2023.

Obesity is a major modifiable risk factor for many common diseases including cardiovascular diseases and cancer. In particular, obesity-induced inflammation resulting from aberrantly-methylated inflammatory genes may drive risk of several non-communicable diseases including colorectal cancer (CRC). This study is the first to investigate the effects of weight loss induced by bariatric surgery (BS) on DNA methylation in the rectum and in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from blood. + + SUBJECTS AND METHODS: DNA methylation was quantified in rectal mucosal biopsies and cfDNA from serum of 28 participants with obesity before and 6 months after BS, as well as in 12 participants without obesity (control group) matched for age and sex from the Biomarkers Of Colorectal cancer After Bariatric Surgery (BOCABS) Study. DNA methylation of LEP, IL6, POMC, LINE1, MAPK7 and COX2 was quantified by pyrosequencing. + + RESULTS: BMI decreased significantly from 41.8 kg/m2 pre-surgery to 32.3 kg/m2 at 6 months after BS. Compared with the control group, obesity was associated with lower LEP methylation in both the rectal mucosa and in cfDNA from serum. BS normalised LEP methylation in DNA from the rectal mucosa but not in cfDNA. BS decreased methylation of some CpG sites of LINE1 in the rectal mucosal DNA and in cfDNA to levels comparable with those in participants without obesity. Methylation of POMC in rectal mucosal DNA was normalised at 6 months after BS. + + CONCLUSION: BS reversed LINE1, POMC and LEP methylation in the rectal mucosa of patients with obesity to levels similar to those in individuals without obesity. These findings support current evidence of effects of BS-induced weight loss on reversibility of DNA methylation in other tissues. The DNA methylation changes in the rectal mucosa shows promise as a biomarker for objective assessment of effects of weight loss interventions on risk of cancer and other diseases. Copyright © 2023.

Obesity has been established as a significant risk factor for IDD. The objective of this study was to explore the molecular mechanisms affecting obesity and IDD by identifying the overlapping crosstalk genes associated with both conditions. The identification of specific diagnostic biomarkers for obesity and IDD would have crucial clinical implications. We obtained gene expression profiles of GSE70362 and GSE152991 from the Gene Expression Omnibus, followed by their analysis using two machine learning algorithms, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination, which enabled the identification of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16) as a shared diagnostic biomarker for obesity and IDD. Additionally, gene set variant analysis was used to explore the potential mechanism of CXCL16 in these diseases, and CXCL16 was found to affect IDD through its effect on fatty acid metabolism. Furthermore, correlation analysis between CXCL16 and immune cells demonstrated that CXCL16 negatively regulated T helper 17 cells to promote IDD. Finally, independent external datasets (GSE124272 and GSE59034) were used to verify the diagnostic efficacy of CXCL16. In conclusion, a common diagnostic biomarker for obesity and IDD, CXCL16, was identified using a machine learning algorithm. This study provides a new perspective for exploring the possible mechanisms by which obesity impacts the development of IDD. Copyright © 2023.

IR markers are divided into two types: (1) insulin-based IR marker, homeostatic model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR); and (2) non-insulin-based IR markers, such as triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, TyG index with body mass index (TyG-BMI), triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-c), and metabolic score for IR (METS-IR). The non-insulin-based IR markers are often associated with lipids. The aim of this study was to analyse the association between IR markers and NAFLD in non-diabetic population. Baseline data of NAFLD and non-NAFLD groups were compared. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationship between five IR markers and NAFLD risk. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of IR markers were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the ability of different IR markers to detect NAFLD. Subgroup analyses were performed in obese and non-obese subgroups. This study found a positive correlation between NAFLD risk and elevation in five IR markers (HOMA-IR, TyG, TyG-BMI, TG/HDL-c, and METS-IR). In non-obese subjects, the AUC of TyG-BMI was larger than that of the other four IR markers to detect NAFLD. The AUC of HOMA-IR was larger than that of the other four IR markers to detect NAFLD in obese subjects. In non-diabetic population, the five IR markers are associated with the risk of NAFLD, including non-obese and obese NAFLD. TyG-BMI and HOMA-IR can be used to detect non-obese and obese NAFLD, respectively, with better detection ability compared with the other IR markers. Copyright © 2023.

The purpose of this study was to confirm these findings, as well as to further investigate this association, in a Swedish HF population. In addition, a second aim was to explore Gal-4's association with obesity and biomarkers of metabolism and heart failure. Gal-4 was measured using a proximity extension array technique in 324 hospitalized HF patients within the Swedish HeArt and bRain failure investigation trial cohort. Obesity was defined as BMI >= 30. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to explore associations between Gal-4 and diabetes/obesity, and linear regression models were used to explore the associations between Gal-4 and biomarkers. A total of 309 participants (29.1% female; mean age 74.8 years) provided complete data for the analysis of associations between Gal-4 and diabetes. Additionally, for the analysis of heart failure phenotype, complete data was available for 230 subjects. Gal-4 was positively associated with prevalent diabetes (OR 2.60; CI 95% 1.56-4.32). In multivariable models, Gal-4 levels were significantly associated with obesity, but only for subjects with diabetes (OR 2.48; 1.09-5.62). Additionally, Gal-4 demonstrated a significant association with the incretin Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), as well as with biomarkers of HF. In the stratified analyses, the association between Gal-4 and diabetes was prominent in patients with reduced ejection fraction (n = 160, OR 3.26; 95%CI 1.88-5.66), while it was not observed in those without (n = 70, 1.96 (0.75-5.10)). In this cross-sectional, observational study, higher Gal-4 levels in HF patients were associated with higher GIP levels. Further, increased levels of Gal-4 were associated with increased likelihood of diabetes, and obesity. This association was particularly pronounced in individuals with HF characterized by reduced ejection fraction. Additionally, Gal-4 levels were significantly elevated in heart failure patients with diabetes and obesity. Copyright © 2023.

However, the current knowledge of kidney health outcomes associated with unhealthy body weight remains incomprehensive, especially in pediatrics. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate body mass index (BMI) and its potential associations with kidney health in a selected subset of school students in Sri Lanka. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted among students of both sexes in the range of 11-18 years of age (N = 1078) in education zones with no reported cases of chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology. Based on sex- and age-specific BMI percentiles (LMS method), the participants were classified into five BMI groups (severely thin, thin, healthy, overweight, and obese) for measurement of urinary biomarkers of kidney injury: kidney injury molecule (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and albumin creatinine ratio (ACR). + + RESULTS: The median urinary levels of NGAL, ACR, and particularly KIM-1, which is a more sensitive indicator of kidney injury, showed no significant differences across the BMI strata. Importantly, moderate correlations of BMI with KIM-1 and NGAL were identified in severely thin girls. + + CONCLUSIONS: According to the present study, these findings do not produce plausibly strong evidence to establish a potential association of BMI with altered kidney function in the studied pediatric communities. Particularly, a likelihood of abnormal kidney health outcomes associated with undernutrition is apparent in severely thin girls. However, in-depth studies are warranted to develop a comprehensive understanding of the associations of nutritional status with pediatric kidney health in Sri Lanka.

This, in turn, leads to oxidative stress (OS) and neuro-inflammation caused by the gut-brain axis, affecting the neurotrophic factors levels such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100 B) levels. In this study, it was hypothesized that the thylakoid membranes of spinach supplementation along with a hypocaloric diet may have improved the LPS levels, neurotrophic factors, and OS in PCOS patients. + + METHODS: In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, and clinical trial, 48 women with obesity and diagnosed with PCOS based on Rotterdam criteria were randomly assigned to thylakoid (N = 21) and placebo groups (N = 23). A personalized hypocaloric diet with 500 calories less than the total energy expenditure was prescribed to all patients. The participants were daily supplemented with either a 5 g/day thylakoid-rich spinach extract or a placebo (5 g cornstarch) for 12 weeks along with a prescribed low-calorie diet. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical parameters were assessed at baseline and after the 12-week intervention. + + RESULTS: A statistically significant decrease in the LPS levels (P < 0.001) and an increase in the BDNF levels (P < 0.001) were recorded for the participants receiving the oral thylakoid supplements and a low-calorie diet. Furthermore, significant decreases were observed in fasting blood glucose, insulin, homeostatic model of assessment for insulin resistance, free testosterone index, and follicle-stimulating hormone / luteinizing hormone ratio in both groups (P < 0.05). No significant differences were detected between the two groups regarding the changes in malondialdehyde, catalase, total antioxidant capacity, and S100B levels (P > 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: In sum, the thylakoid membranes of spinach supplemented with a hypocaloric diet reduced the LPS levels, increased the BDNF levels, and improved the glycemic profile and sex-hormone levels; however, they had no effects on the OS markers levels after 12 weeks of intervention.

The aim of this study was to investigate the primary determinant of serum iron levels among anthropometric measurements, body fat, and serum biomarkers of low-grade chronic inflammation in a group of adult individuals with severe obesity. We enrolled 114 individuals (84 females; 30 males) aged 40.96 +/- 12.54 years. Weight and body mass index (BMI) were 121.20 +/- 22.33 kg and 44.94 +/- 7.29 kg/m2, respectively. Some 30% of individuals had class-II obesity (BMI >= 35 <= 39.9 kg/m2) and 70% had class-III obesity (BMI >= 40 kg/m2). A weak, albeit significant, inverse correlation was found between serum iron levels and c-reactive protein (CRP) (r = -0.259, p = 0.008), fibrinogen (r = -0.261, p = 0.006), BMI (r = -0.186, p = 0.04), waist circumference (WC) (r = -0.265, p = 0.004), and fat mass % (r = -0.285, p = 0.003). With multiple linear regression analysis including CRP, fibrinogen, BMI, WC, and fat mass % as independent variables and serum iron levels as dependent variable, WC was entered in the first step (p = 0.001), which was followed by fat mass % (p = 0.047) and CRP (p = 0.047). Grouping the individuals according to the interquartile range of BMI, WC, and fat mass % (Q1-Q4), the lowest serum iron levels were found in Q4 groups of WC and fat mass % (p = 0.02), while no significant differences were found between groups in BMI quartiles. In conclusion, in our study, population serum iron levels were inversely associated with BMI, visceral obesity, fat mass %, CRP, and fibrinogen, but WC was the major negative predictor of serum iron level. These results supported the fact that visceral distribution of body fat, more than obesity per se, was associated with low serum iron levels in adult individuals with severe obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 0 (Biomarkers). 9001-32-5 (Fibrinogen). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med24&DO=10.3390%2fnu15214702 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Laudisio&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Iron+Levels+and+Markers+of+Inflammation+in+a+Population+of+Adults+with+Severe+Obesity%2C+a+Cross-Sectional+Study.&volume=15&issue=21&spage=&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.3390%2Fnu15214702&pmid=37960355&sid=OVID:medline + +<172> +Unique Identifier + 37948286 +Title + A Randomized Controlled Trial of Precision Nutrition Counseling for Service Members at Risk for Metabolic Syndrome. +Source + Military Medicine. 188(Suppl 6):606-613, 2023 11 08. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + McCarthy MS; Colburn ZT; Yeung KY; Gillette LH; Hung LH; Elshaw E +Author NameID + McCarthy, Mary S; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0230-9952 +Authors Full Name + McCarthy, Mary S; Colburn, Zachary T; Yeung, Ka Yee; Gillette, Laurel H; Hung, Ling-Hong; Elshaw, Evelyn. +Institution + McCarthy, Mary S.

The most prevalent risk factors documented in service members' health records are high blood pressure (BP), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and elevated triglycerides. Other risk factors include abdominal obesity and elevated fasting blood glucose. Precision nutrition counseling and wellness software applications have demonstrated positive results for weight management when coupled with high levels of participant engagement and motivation. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this prospective randomized controlled trial, trained registered dietitians conducted nutrition counseling using results of targeted sequencing, biomarkers, and expert recommendations to reduce the risk for MetS. Upon randomization, the treatment arm initiated six weekly sessions and the control arm received educational pamphlets. An eHealth application captured diet and physical activity. Anthropometrics and BP were measured at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks, and biomarkers were measured at baseline and 12 weeks. The primary outcome was a change in weight at 12 weeks. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics and t-tests or analysis of variance with significance set at P < .05. + + RESULTS: Overall, 138 subjects enrolled from November 2019 to February 2021 between two military bases; 107 completed the study. Demographics were as follows: 66% male, mean age 31 years, 66% married, and 49% Caucasian and non-Hispanic. Weight loss was not significant between groups or sites at 12 weeks. Overall, 27% of subjects met the diagnostic criteria for MetS on enrollment and 17.8% upon study completion. High deleterious variant prevalence was identified for genes with single-nucleotide polymorphisms linked to obesity (40%), cholesterol (38%), and BP (58%). Overall, 65% of subjects had low 25(OH)D upon enrollment; 45% remained insufficient at study completion. eHealth app had low adherence yet sufficient correlation with a valid reference. + + CONCLUSIONS: Early signs of progress with weight loss at 6 weeks were not sustained at 12 weeks. DNA-based nutrition counseling was not efficacious for weight loss. Copyright Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2023.

In clinical practice, unspecific markers are used for the determination of metabolic alterations and inflammation, without allowing the characterization of subjects at higher risk of complications. Circulating microRNAs represent an attractive approach for early screening to identify subjects affected by obesity more at risk of developing connected pathologies. The aim of this study was the identification of circulating free and extracellular vesicles (EVs)-embedded microRNAs able to identify obese patients at higher risk of type 2 diabetes (DM2). The expression data of circulating microRNAs derived from obese patients (OB), with DM2 (OBDM) and healthy donors were combined with clinical data, through network-based methodology implemented by weighted gene co-expression network analysis. The six circulating microRNAs overexpressed in OBDM patients were evaluated in a second group of patients, confirming the overexpression of miR-155-5p in OBDM patients. Interestingly, the combination of miR-155-5p with serum levels of IL-8, Leptin and RAGE was useful to identify OB patients most at risk of developing DM2. These results suggest that miR-155-5p is a potential circulating biomarker for DM2 and that the combination of this microRNA with other inflammatory markers in OB patients can predict the risk of developing DM2.

Obesity is the key factor for many chronic diseases, including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Metabolic stress due to nutrient overload releases different inflammatory mediators. Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) is also an inflammatory mediator that impairs insulin secretion. SFRP4 acts as an early biomarker for diabesity expressed with interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta) in the adipose tissues that hinder the exocytosis of insulin-secreting granules from the pancreatic beta-cells and is a potential target for preserving beta-cell dysfunction and the diabesity treatment. The current study aimed to screen potential bioactive compounds targeting and inhibiting the diabesity-linked SFRP4 protein through an in silico approach. The three-dimensional (3D) structure of human SFRP4 was predicted through comparative modeling techniques and evaluated by various online bioinformatics tools. The molecular docking and MD simulation investigations were carried out against phytochemicals with anti-diabetic and anti-obesity properties to shortlist the best SFRP4 inhibitor. Hesperetin, Curcumin, Isorhamnetin, Embelin, Epicatechin, and Methyl Eugenol interacted strongly with SFRP4 by displaying zero RMSD and binding affinities of -6.5, -6.4, -6.3, -5.3, -6.3 and -5.8 kcal/mol respectively. Additionally, the root mean square fluctuation and root mean square deviation graphs from the MD simulation results demonstrated that hesperetin has good variations throughout the simulation period as compared to others. This dynamic stability and control behavior of hesperetin, when it interacts with SFRP4, shows that it has the potential to modulate the function and activity of the protein. Therefore, hesperetin is identified as an effective and top drug candidate through this analysis for preserving beta-cell function and treating diabesity by targeting SFRP4. The findings of this study could be useful in the design and development of diabesity drugs. Copyright: © 2023 Rehman et al.

To outline this proinflammatory status, an innovative approach is represented by the measurement of proinflammatory cytokines. Among these biomarkers, B-cell-activating factor (BAFF) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) play a key role in metabolic regulation, immune response to infections, tissue homeostasis, and "food-related inflammation." The aim of the present study is to investigate the blood expression of BAFF and PAF in a cohort of pregnant women affected by obesity and diabetes compared with a control group of healthy pregnant women. + + METHODS: A prospective longitudinal cohort study has been conducted on pregnant women referred to Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Gemelli IRCCS in Rome. For each pregnant woman, a capillary sample was collected with a swab in three different consecutive evaluations carried out in the three trimesters of pregnancy. + + RESULTS: A total of 77 pregnant women have been enrolled. No significant differences in BAFF and PAF levels were longitudinally observed between groups. Focusing on the exposed group, in the third trimester of pregnancy, both PAF and BAFF levels were lower than the basal time. Among the selected group of patients who developed Gestational Diabetes, only PAF values were longitudinally lower when compared to other groups. The multivariate analysis showed that BAFF levels were positively correlated with thyroid-stimulating hormone levels. No macrosomia, no shoulder dystocia, no major perineal lacerations at birth, and no intrauterine growth restriction were observed in the whole population. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the involvement of metabolic and proinflammatory biomarkers in the mechanisms related to pregnancy complications. Improving a good metabolic environment for obese and diabetic pregnant women could break the vicious cycle connecting inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic disorders. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Platelet Activating Factor). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med24&DO=10.1080%2f14767058.2023.2272010 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Neri&issn=1476-4954&title=Journal+of+Maternal-Fetal+%26+Neonatal+Medicine&atitle=B-cell-activating+factor+%28BAFF%29+and+platelet-activating+factor+%28PAF%29+in+pregnancies+complicated+by+maternal+obesity+and+diabetes%3A+a+preliminary+study.&volume=36&issue=2&spage=2272010&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.1080%2F14767058.2023.2272010&pmid=37872771&sid=OVID:medline + +<176> +Unique Identifier + 37866956 +Title + [Association of Body Mass Index and Weight Gain With Obesity-Related Breast Cancer Risk Biomarkers in Adult Chinese Women].

Using sequential sampling, eligible participants were enrolled from the cohort as the subjects of the study. Information on the basic risk factors was collected and the height, weight, and plasma biomarker levels were measured. Multiple linear regression model was applied to analyze the associations of early adulthood BMI (defined as the BMI of the participant at age 20), adulthood BMI (defined as the BMI measured at the time of enrollment), and weight gain in adulthood with the biomarkers. The concentrations of the biomarkers were incorporated in the model after log transformation. + + Results: The average age of the 442 participants was 49 (45, 54) years old, the average early adulthood BMI and adulthood BMI were 21.47 (19.56, 23.11) and 24.10 (22.59, 25.97) kg/m 2, respectively, and the average weight gain in adulthood was 6.60 (2.00, 11.00) kg. Adulthood BMI was negatively associated with adiponectin level ( beta=-0.026, 95% CI: -0.045--0.008, P=0.006), and positively associated with C-reactive protein level ( beta=0.095, 95% CI: 0.054-0.137, P<0.001) and leptin receptor level ( beta=0.090, 95% CI: 0.063-0.117, P<0.001). No association was found between adulthood BMI and resistin levels or between adulthood BMI and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 levels. BMI in early adulthood was found to be negatively associated with only insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 levels ( beta=-0.039, 95% CI: -0.068--0.010, P=0.009). Further analysis of adulthood weight gain after the age of 20 revealed that average annual weight gain in adulthood was negatively associated with adiponectin levels and positively associated with 4 other biomarkers. Furthermore, compared with those of women whose weight remained stable, the adiponectin level of women whose weight gain in adulthood exceeded 5.00 kg was much lower ( beta=-0.185, 95% CI: -0.320--0.049, P=0.008), while their insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 ( beta=0.389, 95% CI: 0.183-0.594, P<0.001) and leptin receptor ( beta=0.245, 95% CI: 0.048-0.442, P=0.015) levels were higher. + + Conclusion: Weight gain in adulthood is strongly associated with the changes in obesity-related breast cancer risk biomarkers. Women should maintain a stable weight throughout adulthood and it is preferred that their weight gain should not exceed 5.00 kg.

NAOs or placebo products were administered at 3 g (twice a day, four capsules once) each for 16 weeks. Efficacy and safety biomarkers were measured before and after intervention. + + RESULTS: After 16 weeks of intervention, the group administered with NAOs had statistically significant decreases in visceral fat area and visceral-subcutaneous fat area ratio compared to the placebo group. The NAOs group suppressed the increase in weight and BMI compared to the placebo group, which was significant between groups. High-density lipoprotein- cholesterol was increased in the group administered with NAOs, which showed a significant trend compared to the placebo group. Clinical changes were not observed for any safety biomarkers. + + CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that NAOs have a beneficial effect on obesity. Thus, NAOs could be used as an anti-obesity supplement without side effects. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: cris.nih.go.kr: (KCT0006640, 07/10/2021). Copyright © 2023.

Nonetheless, most available evidence is focused on identifying epigenetic marks eventually associated with body composition and adiposity outcomes, whereas their roles in metabolic endings remain less explored. This document comprehensively reviewed the evidence regarding the use of epigenetic signatures as putative biomarkers of metabolic outcomes (glycemic, lipid, blood pressure, and inflammatory/oxidative stress features) in response to different lifestyle interventions in humans. Although more investigation is still necessary in order to translate this knowledge in clinical practice, these scientific insights are contributing to the design of advanced strategies for the precise management of cardiometabolic risk, gaining understanding on metabolic heterogeneity, allowing for the prediction of metabolic outcomes, and facilitating the design of epigenome-based nutritional strategies for a more customized approach for metabolic alterations treatment under the scope of precision nutrition. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Long-term methods such as exercise and low-fat diets can help regulate this health issue, but 93.3 million Americans continue to struggle. Our research investigates if lifestyle changes can affect urinary inflammation markers and psychological aspects through the modification of gut microbiome composition. Methods: Our study included 16 healthy controls with normal BMI as a comparison group and 22 overweight/obese (OW/OB) adolescents. We collected demographic, clinical, psychological, stool, and urine sample data at enrollment and six months after implementing lifestyle modifications. Bacterial genomic data and inflammatory markers in these samples were analyzed. Results: The lifestyle interventions were associated with decreased inflammation and enhanced mental health among overweight teens. We observed differences in bacterial community compositions between healthy participants and those who underwent treatment, including exercise and dietary habit adjustments, although there was no significant change in bacterial species richness. Mental health correlated with gut microbiota compositions without any demographic influences. The research also uncovered connections between inflammatory markers, psychological factors, and gut microbiota phyla through carbohydrate metabolism alterations. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that lifestyle modifications are associated with improved mental health and a reduction in inflammation in overweight adolescents by adjusting the gut microbiota composition. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med24&DO=10.3390%2fnu15194243 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Islam&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Change+in+Urinary+Inflammatory+Biomarkers+and+Psychological+Health+with+Gut+Microbiome+Modulation+after+Six+Months+of+a+Lifestyle+Modification+Program+in+Children.&volume=15&issue=19&spage=&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.3390%2Fnu15194243&pmid=37836527&sid=OVID:medline + +<180> +Unique Identifier + 37798684 +Title + Effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on cytokines/adipocytokines levels among periodontitis patients with or without obesity: a systematic review and meta-analysis. +Source + BMC Oral Health. 23(1):717, 2023 10 05. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Zhang Y; Jia R; Zhang Y; Sun X; Mei Y; Zou R; Niu L; Dong S +Authors Full Name + Zhang, Yuwei; Jia, Ru; Zhang, Yifei; Sun, Xuefei; Mei, Yukun; Zou, Rui; Niu, Lin; Dong, Shaojie. +Institution + Zhang, Yuwei.

We screened randomized-controlled trials and controlled clinical trials from six databases up to December 2022. Quality assessment was performed with RoB-2 and ROBINS-I tools for randomized trials and non-randomized trials, respectively. Meta-analysis was carried out using a random-effect model. + + RESULTS: We included seventeen references in the systematic analysis, and sixteen in the meta-analysis. Baseline results of pro-inflammatory biomarkers, including serum interleukin (IL)-6, serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a, serum C-reactive protein (CRP)/hs-CRP, and serum and GCF resistin, were higher in obesity subjects than in normal weight subjects. The effect of NSPT with respect to levels of cytokines/adipocytokines, including IL-6, TNF-a, CRP/hs-CRP, resistin, adiponectin, leptin and retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), were then analyzed in the systematic and meta-analysis. After three months of NSPT, serum (MD = -0.54, CI = -0.62 - -0.46), and GCF (MD = -2.70, CI = -4.77 - -0.63) levels of IL-6, along with the serum RBP4 (MD = -0.39, CI = -0.68-0.10) decreased in periodontitis individuals with obesity. NSPT also improved GCF adiponectin levels after three months (MD = 2.37, CI = 0.29 - 4.45) in periodontitis individuals without obesity. + + CONCLUSIONS: Obese status altered the baseline levels of cytokines/adipocytokines (serum IL-6, serum and GCF TNF-a, serum CRP/hs-CRP, and serum and GCF resistin). Then NSPT can shift the levels of specific pro-inflammatory mediators and anti-inflammatory mediators in biological fluids, both in obesity and non-obesity individuals. NSPT can reduce serum and GCF IL-6 levels together with serum RBP4 level in individuals with obesity after 3 months, besides, there is no sufficient evidence to prove that obese patients have a statistically significant decrease in the levels of other cytokines compared to patients with normal weight. NSPT can also increase GCF adiponectin level in normal weight individuals after 3 months. Our findings imply the potential ideal follow-up intervals and sensitive biomarkers for clinical bioanalysis in personalized decision-making of effect of NSPT due to patients' BMI value.

This research aimed to identify a potential biomarker to differentiate the subtypes of obesity. + + METHODS: The study conducted a lipidomic evaluation of ceramide in the serum of 77 Chinese adults who had undergone hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps. These adults were divided into three groups according to the clinical data: normal weight control group (N = 21), MHO (N = 20), and MUO (N = 36). + + RESULTS: The serum Cer d18:1/24:1 level in the MHO group was lower than that in the MUO group. As the Cer d18:1/24:1 level increased, insulin sensitivity decreased, and the unfavorable parameters increased in parallel. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that serum Cer d18:1/24:1 levels were independently correlated with MUO in obesity. Individuals with higher levels of Cer d18:1/24:1 also had an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. Most ceramide subtype levels increased in obesity compared to normal-weight individuals, but the levels of serum Cer d18:0/18:0 and Cer d18:1/16:0 decreased in obesity. + + CONCLUSIONS: The relationships between ceramide subtypes and metabolic profiles might be heterogeneous in populations with different body weights. Cer d18:1/24:1 could be a biomarker that can be used to differentiate MUO from MHO, and to better predict who will develop unfavorable health outcomes among obese individuals. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University's Institutional Review Board authorized this study protocol, and all participants provided written informed consent (2014-SR-003) prior to study entry.

In 574 subjects representative of the general population of the Pressioni Arteriose Monitorate e Loro Associazioni (PAMELA) study, with an age range between 57 and 73 years, we investigated the association between different anthropometric markers of body fat, as alternative to body mass index, and renal failure, to obtain information useful for determining their potential predictive value. Renal dysfunction was significantly associated with almost all anthropometric markers of adiposity related to body weight and body shape. After adjustment for confounders, such as age, sex, office blood pressure, serum glucose, antihypertensive drugs and smoking habit, association remained significant only for waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), lipid accumulation product (LAP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI). These 3 markers also displayed at the receiver operating curves (ROC) analysis the best ability to detect subjects with or without kidney dysfunction. The results of the present study provide evidence that WHR, LAP and VAI represent the best markers of renal dysfunction associated with visceral body fat accumulation. Copyright © 2023.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of consuming vitamin D fortified low-fat dairy products on liver function tests in adults with abdominal obesity. + + METHODS: This total blinded randomized controlled trial was undertaken on otherwise healthy abdominally obese adults living in Mashhad, Iran. Milk and yogurt were fortified with 1500 IU vitamin D3 nano-capsules. Participants were randomized to receive fortified milk (n = 73), plain milk (n = 73), fortified yogurt (n = 69), and plain yogurt (n = 74) for 10 weeks. Blood samples were taken at baseline and at the end of the study to assess serum levels of vitamin D, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and Gamma glutamyl transferase. + + RESULTS: A total of 289 participants completed the study (54% female). The groups were homogenous in terms of age, sex, weight, energy intake, and physical activity level (p-value > 0.05). After the trial, vitamin D serum levels were significantly increased in both groups receiving fortified products (both p < 0.001). There was a significant time*group effect only in serum ALP (p < 0.001). + + CONCLUSION: Consumption of dairy products fortified by 1500 IU vitamin D3 might have detrimental effects on serum levels of some liver enzymes in individuals with abdominal obesity. Further studies needed to determine these effects and underlying mechanisms. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: IRCT20101130005280N27 . Copyright © 2023.

However, there is variability in body composition and adipose tissue distribution between individuals with the same BMI, and there is controversy regarding the BMI associated with the lowest mortality risk. + + Objective: To evaluate which of BMI, fat mass index (FMI), and waist-to-hip (WHR) has the strongest and most consistent association with mortality. + + Design, Setting, and Participant: This cohort study used incident deaths from the UK Biobank (UKB; 2006-2022), which includes data from 22 clinical assessment centers across the United Kingdom. UKB British participants of British White ancestry (N = 387672) were partitioned into a discovery cohort (n = 337078) and validation cohort (n = 50594), with the latter consisting of 25297 deaths and 25297 controls. The discovery cohort was used to derive genetically determined adiposity measures while the validation cohort was used for analyses. Exposure-outcome associations were analyzed through observational and mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. + + Exposures: BMI, FMI, and WHR. + + Main Outcomes and Measures: All-cause and cause-specific (cancer, cardiovascular disease [CVD], respiratory disease, or other causes) mortality. + + Results: There were 387672 and 50594 participants in our observational (mean [SD] age, 56.9 [8.0] years; 177340 [45.9%] male, 210332 [54.2%], female), and MR (mean [SD] age, 61.6 [6.2] years; 30031 [59.3%] male, 20563 [40.6%], female) analyses, respectively. Associations between measured BMI and FMI with all-cause mortality were J-shaped, whereas the association of WHR with all-cause mortality was linear using the hazard ratio (HR) scale (HR per SD increase of WHR, 1.41 [95% CI, 1.38-1.43]). Genetically determined WHR had a stronger association with all-cause mortality than BMI (odds ratio [OR] per SD increase of WHR, 1.51 [95% CI, 1.32-1.72]; OR per SD increase of BMI, 1.29 [95% CI, 1.20-1.38]; P for heterogeneity = .02). This association was stronger in male than female participants (OR, 1.89 [95% CI, 1.54-2.32]; P for heterogeneity = .01). Unlike BMI or FMI, the genetically determined WHR-all-cause mortality association was consistent irrespective of observed BMI. + + Conclusions and Relevance: In this cohort study, WHR had the strongest and most consistent association with mortality irrespective of BMI. Clinical recommendations should consider focusing on adiposity distribution compared with mass. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Our study aimed to investigate neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) as a potential blood biomarker for this association. + + METHODS: A case-control study was conducted on 108 obese subjects assigned for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and 100 non-obese controls. Depression was assessed pre- and post-operatively. Serum NRG-1 was measured. + + RESULTS: Pre-operatively depression was significantly higher among obese compared to non-obese patients. After the operation, 1.9% of the severely depressed subjects reported no depression, while 5.6% became moderately depressed; about 6% of the moderately depressed and 16% of the mildly depressed became not depressed. Serum NRG-1 level was significantly lower among obese and severely depressed compared to the controls. It was negatively correlated to the level of depression pre- and post-operative (r = -0.764 and -0.467 respectively). The sensitivity of serum NRG1 as a predictor for depression pre- and post-operative was 92.45% and 52.94% respectively. Specificity was 69.09% and 79.73% respectively at cut-off values of <= 3.5 and <= 2.5 ng/ml. + + CONCLUSION: NRG-1 is a possible biomarker for the diagnosis of depression pre-bariatric surgery and the prediction of its prognosis post-operatively.

The neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor sibutramine affects appetite and activates lipolysis in a catecholaminergic way. MicroRNAs (miRs) are considered as biomarkers of molecular genetic mechanisms underlying various processes. The profile of a number of miRs is altered in obesity, both in the circulation and in adipose tissue. The aim of this study was to assess the expression levels of miRs (hsa-miR-378a-3p, hsa-miR-142-3p) by real-time polymerase chain reaction in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and in plasma in patients with different degrees and duration of obesity and during sibutramine therapy. This study included 51 obese patients and 10 healthy subjects with normal weight who formed a control group. The study found that, before treatment, obese patients had no significant difference in the expression level of miR-378 in SAT and plasma compared to the control group, while the expression of miR-142 was significantly decreased in SAT and increased in plasma. A significant elevation in miR-378 expression level was noted in patients with first-degree obesity and duration of less than 10 years, and the decline in miR-142 increased with the duration of obesity. These data indicate a maximal increase in the expression of the adipogenesis inducer miR-378 in the early stages of obesity, a progressive decrease in the expression of the fibrogenesis inhibitor miR-142 in SAT with growth of duration of obesity and the likely presence of antifibrogenic effects of sibutramine realized through miR-142 activation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + WV5EC51866 (sibutramine). 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (Cyclobutanes). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med24&DO=10.3390%2fijms241713426 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Matveev&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Tissue+and+Circulating+MicroRNAs+378+and+142+as+Biomarkers+of+Obesity+and+Its+Treatment+Response.&volume=24&issue=17&spage=13426&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.3390%2Fijms241713426&pmid=37686231&sid=OVID:medline + +<188> +Unique Identifier + 37650320 +Title + Leptin receptor expression in blood mononuclear cells of lactating women is associated with infant body weight: Potential role as a molecular biomarker. +Source + Pediatric Obesity. 18(11):e13072, 2023 11. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Malpeli A; Fasano MV; Sala M; Obregon P; Casado C; Mendez I; Fotia L; Castrogiovanni D; Varea A; Disalvo L; Tournier A; Mazziota L; Rocha D; Kruger AL; Orellano L; Andreoli MF +Author NameID + Andreoli, Maria F; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8987-6348 +Authors Full Name + Malpeli, Agustina; Fasano, Maria Victoria; Sala, Marisa; Obregon, Pablo; Casado, Carla; Mendez, Ignacio; Fotia, Lucrecia; Castrogiovanni, Daniel; Varea, Ana; Disalvo, Liliana; Tournier, Andrea; Mazziota, Lucia; Rocha, Daniela; Kruger, Ana Luz; Orellano, Laura; Andreoli, Maria F. +Institution + Malpeli, Agustina.

Infant weight and BMI z-scores, skinfolds and arm circumference were obtained at 10 days and/or at 3 months old. + + RESULTS: In mothers with pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity (OW/OB), LEPR expression was reduced (p = 0.013) whereas plasma and milk leptin and milk insulin concentrations were elevated. LEPR expression was positively related with infant weight z-score (Beta (95% CI): 0.40 (0.17, 0.63), p = 0.001) but not with leptin concentrations. SOCS3 expression was positively related with infant weight z-score (Beta (95% CI): 0.28 (0.04, 0.51), p = 0.024) and arm circumference (Beta (95% CI): 0.57 (0.32, 0.82), p < 0.001). Relationships remained significant after adjusting for maternal and infant confounders. + + CONCLUSIONS: LEPR and SOCS3 gene expression in PBMCs are novel maternal molecular biomarkers that reflect leptin resistance and are associated with infant body weight and adiposity.

While bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment targeting severe obesity, there is limited understanding as to whether patients experience social interactions differently after surgery. The Bariatric Surgery and Social Experiences study is designed to assess potential changes in how much patients enjoy and engage in daily social interactions 1 year after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG). + + METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Single-centre, non-randomised clinical trial carried out at the Department of Endocrinology, Obesity and Nutrition at Vestfold Hospital Trust, Norway. Eligible patients (N=113) will undergo either RYGB, SG or single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass. The primary outcome measure is change in the social experience score (assessed with a questionnaire) from a presurgery to a follow-up assessment 1 year after RYGB and SG. The respective changes after SASI bypass will be assessed and considered exploratory. + + ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The most recent protocol version of this study was reviewed and approved by the Regional Committee for Medical Research Ethics South East Norway (REK sor-ost A) on 29 August 2022 (ref: 238406). The results will be disseminated to academic and health professional audiences and the public via publications in international peer-reviewed journals and conferences. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05207917.

We aimed to understand the associations of changes in step counts with levels of five obesity-related BC biomarkers during a two-year follow-up. In total, 144 non-cancer women (47.96 +/- 5.72) were observed on both 2019 and 2021. A structured questionnaire, daily steps and fasting blood samples were collected before (t0, 2019) and after (t1, 2021). Levels of biomarkers (IGF-binding proteins 3, adiponectin, soluble leptin receptor, C-reactive protein, and resistin) were assayed by ELISA. Participants were divided into persistent low steps, decreasing steps, increasing steps, and persistent high steps. Associations of categories on proposed biomarkers were estimated using linear regression models, with persistent low steps as reference. Associations between time-varying step counts with biomarkers were quantified using mixed linear models. Compared with persistent low steps, increasing steps is associated with a reduction in C-reactive protein level (beta=-0.74, 95%CI=-1.23--0.26, P-value = 2.98 x 10-3). An inverse association between time-varying step counts with C-reactive protein level was identified, consistent across different obesity types and baseline step level categories. No association with daily step counts was observed for other proteins. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers, Tumor). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Observational Study.

The aim was to investigate the effect of probiotic supplementation during pregnancy on metabolic and inflammatory markers and the body composition of the offspring. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: A randomized double-blind trial in 50 pregnant women (pre-pregnancy BMI >=30 and < 35 kg/m2) comparing multi-strain probiotics (Vivomixx R; 450 billion CFU/d) versus placebo from 14 to 20 weeks of gestation until delivery was carried out. Participants were followed with two predelivery visits at gestational week 27-30 and 36-37 and with one postdelivery visit. All visits included fasting blood samples (C-reactive protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), insulin, C-peptide, glucose, glucagon, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)). At delivery, umbilical cord blood samples were collected (GLP-1 and glucagon). At the postdelivery visit, a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan of the newborn was performed. Forty-nine of 50 participants completed the study until delivery, and 36 mother-offspring dyads underwent postdelivery examinations including a DXA scan. There were no significant differences in changes in measured biomarkers between the probiotic versus the placebo group. No differences were found in newborn body composition or GLP-1 and glucagon. GLP-1 measured in umbilical blood samples was positively correlated to fat percent in offspring from the probiotic group. + + CONCLUSION: In this study of pregnant women with obesity and their newborns, there was no effect of probiotic supplementation in mothers or babies on metabolic or inflammatory biomarkers or on body composition of offspring.

For this cross-sectional study, dietary exposure was assessed using a validated 147-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Dietary patterns were derived through LCA. Binary logistic was performed to test the associations of dietary patterns with VAI, TyG, inflammation biomarkers, and body composition. Health centers in Tehran, Iran. 376 obese and overweight women, aged > 18 years. Two dietary patterns were identified using LCA modeling: healthy and unhealthy. Women in the unhealthy class were characterized by higher consumption of fast food, sweetened beverages, grains, unhealthy oils, butter and margarine, and snacks. Compared with the healthy class, the unhealthy class was associated with an increased risk of higher fasting blood sugar (FBS) (OR = 6.07; 95% CI: 1.33-27.74, P value = 0.02), c-reactive protein (CRP) (OR = 1.72; 95% CI: 1.05-2.80; P value = 0.02), and lower fat free mass index (FFMI) (OR = 0.56; 95% CI: 0.35-0.88, P value = 0.01), after adjusting for confounders. We found that adherence to an unhealthy dietary pattern was associated with decreased FFMI and increased FBS and CRP using LCA, but not with the rest of the variables. Further studies should be conducted to confirm the veracity of these findings. Copyright © 2023.

In this study, the objective was to evaluate the dietary intake of 108 overweight (OW), obese (OB), and normal-weight (NW) individuals and to analyze their gut microbiota profile to determine changes and associations with Body Mass Index (BMI) and diet. When individuals were compared by BMI, significant differences in fiber and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) intake were observed, showing higher adequacy for the NW group. The analysis of gut microbiota showed statistical differences for 18 ASVs; Anaerostipes and Faecalibacterium decreased in the OW/OB group, whereas the genus Oscillospira increased; the genus was also found in the LEFSe analysis as a biomarker for OW/OB. Roseburia faecis was found in a significantly higher proportion of NW individuals and identified as a biomarker for the NW group. Correlation analysis showed that adequation to nutritional recommendation for fiber indicated a higher abundance of Prevotella copri, linearly correlated with F. prausnitzii, Bacteroides caccae, and R. faecis. The same correlation was found for the adequation for MUFAs, with these bacteria being more abundant when the intake was adjusted to or below the recommendations. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med24&DO=10.3390%2fnu15153418 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Sinisterra-Loaiza&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Compliance+with+Nutritional+Recommendations+and+Gut+Microbiota+Profile+in+Galician+Overweight%2FObese+and+Normal-Weight+Individuals.&volume=15&issue=15&spage=&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.3390%2Fnu15153418&pmid=37571355&sid=OVID:medline + +<195> +Unique Identifier + 37571275 +Title + Effects of Dietary Sugar Reduction on Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health in Latino Youth: Secondary Analyses from a Randomized Controlled Trial. +Source + Nutrients. 15(15), 2023 Jul 27. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Schmidt KA; Mokhtari P; Holzhausen EA; Alderete TL; Allayee H; Nayak KS; Sinatra FR; Pickering TA; Mack W; Kohli R; Goran MI +Author NameID + Schmidt, Kelsey A; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9916-1634 + Holzhausen, Elizabeth A; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1773-0099 + Alderete, Tanya L; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7751-9543 + Allayee, Hooman; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2384-5239 + Nayak, Krishna S; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5735-3550 + Pickering, Trevor A; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2281-641X + Mack, Wendy; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2474-7921 + Goran, Michael I; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6897-6961 +Authors Full Name + Schmidt, Kelsey A; Mokhtari, Pari; Holzhausen, Elizabeth A; Alderete, Tanya L; Allayee, Hooman; Nayak, Krishna S; Sinatra, Frank R; Pickering, Trevor A; Mack, Wendy; Kohli, Rohit; Goran, Michael I. +Institution + Schmidt, Kelsey A.

Sugar reduction is a promising prevention strategy with consistent cross-sectional associations of increased sugar consumption with unfavorable biomarkers of cardiometabolic disease. Few trials have tested the efficacy of pediatric sugar reduction interventions. Therefore, in a parallel-design trial, we randomized Latino youth with obesity (BMI >= 95th percentile) [n = 105; 14.8 years] to control (standard diet advice) or sugar reduction (clinical intervention with a goal of <=10% of calories from free sugar) for 12-weeks. Outcomes included changes in glucose tolerance and its determinants as assessed by a 2-h frequently sample oral glucose tolerance test, fasting serum lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, cholesterol:HDL), and inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, TNF-alpha). Free sugar intake decreased in the intervention group compared to the control group [11.5% to 7.3% vs. 13.9% to 10.7% (% Energy), respectively, p = 0.02], but there were no effects on any outcome of interest (pall > 0.07). However, an exploratory analysis revealed that sugar reduction, independent of randomization, was associated with an improved Oral-disposition index (p < 0.001), triglycerides (p = 0.049), and TNF-alpha (p = 0.02). Dietary sugar reduction may have the potential to reduce chronic disease risks through improvements in beta-cell function, serum triglycerides, and inflammatory markers in Latino adolescents with obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Carbohydrates). 0 (Dietary Sugars). 0 (Triglycerides). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). +Publication Type + Randomized Controlled Trial.

Obesity-related dyslipidaemia not only leads to quantitative changes in lipoprotein concentration but also alteration in qualitative composition of various lipoprotein subfractions, including HDL particles, rendering them proatherogenic. This is compounded by the concurrent existence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which pave the common pathway to inflammation and oxidative stress culminating in heightened atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. Bariatric surgery is an exceptional modality to reverse both conventional and less recognised aspects of metabolic syndrome. It reduces the burden of atherosclerosis by ameliorating the impact of obesity and its related complications (OSA, NAFLD) on quantitative and qualitative composition of lipoproteins, ultimately improving endothelial function and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. + + SUMMARY: Several novel biomarkers, which are not traditionally considered as components of metabolic syndrome play a crucial role in determining ASCVD risk in metabolic syndrome. Due to their independent association with ASCVD, it is imperative that these are addressed. Bariatric surgery is a widely recognized intervention to improve the conventional risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome; however, it also serves as an effective treatment to optimize novel biomarkers.

However, it is not yet established if elevations in both inflammatory biomarkers provide incremental association with CAP. This study aimed evaluate the cross-sectional association of high CRP and GlycA with CAP at baseline participants from the ELSA-Brasil adult cohort. Participants with information on CRP, GlycA, and CAP with neither previous cardiovascular disease nor CRP >10 mg/L were included. High GlycA and CRP were defined as values within upper quintile and >3 mg/L, respectively. Participants were classified into 4 groups: 1. nonelevated CRP/GlycA (reference group); 2. elevated CRP alone; 3. elevated GlycA alone; and 4. both elevated. The analysis included 4,126 participants with median age of 50 years-old, being 54.2% of women. Prevalence of CAP was 36.1%. Participants with high CRP had the highest frequency of obesity, whereas participants with high GlycA presented higher cardiovascular risk factor burden and were more likely to have CAP than the reference group (odds ratio [OR] 1.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11 to 1.73), persisting after multivariable adjustment (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.83). Participants with both elevated CRP and GlycA were more likely to have CAP in crude (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.65) but not in adjusted models.

We investigated the longitudinal associations of BMI change with trajectories of biomarkers related to cardiometabolic or breast cancer risk. A longitudinal study was conducted among 444 healthy women between 2019 to 2021. Cross-lagged path analysis was used to examine the temporal relationships among BMI, cardiometabolic risk score (CRS), and obesity-related proteins score (OPS) of breast cancer. Linear mixed-effect models were applied to investigate associations of time-varying BMI with biomarker-based risk score trajectories. Baseline BMI was associated with subsequent change of breast cancer predictors (P = 0.03), and baseline CRS were positively associated with OPS change (P < 0.001) but not vice versa. After fully adjustment of confounders, we found a 0.058 (95%CI = 0.009-0.107, P = 0.020) units increase of CRS and a 1.021 (95%CI = 0.041-1.995, P = 0.040) units increase of OPS as BMI increased 1 kg/m2 per year in postmenopausal women. OPS increased 0.784 (95%CI = 0.053-1.512, P = 0.035) units as CRS increased 1 unit per year. However, among premenopausal women, BMI only significantly affected CRS (beta = 0.057, 95%CI = 0.007 to 0.107, P = 0.025). No significant change of OPS with time-varying CRS was found. Higher increase rates of BMI were associated with worse trajectories of biomarker-based risk of cardiometabolic and breast cancer. The longitudinal impact of CRS on OPS is unidirectional. Recommendations such as weight control for the reduction of cardiometabolic risk factors may benefit breast cancer prevention, especially in postmenopausal women. Copyright © 2023.

Several preclinical and adult studies demonstrated inverse associations of GLY with obesity, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes. However, little evidence is available on relationships between GLY and CVD risk in children. We assessed links between circulating GLY and biomarkers of CVD in children with obesity. Participants included both male and females with normal weight (NW, n = 6) and obesity (OB, n = 15), with age 14-18 years and Tanner stage >IV. Concentrations of GLY, branched chain amino acids (BCAA), and 25-hydroxy vitamin-D [25(OH)D], glucose, insulin, adiponectin, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured using established techniques, and body composition by DXA. Homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated. Our study identified major relationships of GLY (p-value < 0.01 for all) of GLY with visceral fat (r2 = 0.40), BCAA (r2 = 0.44), HOMA-IR (r2 = 0.33), 25(OH)D (r2 = 0.48), IL-6 (r2 = 0.46) and adiponectin (r2 = 0.39). Given that CVD progression is a continuum and the disease itself is not present in children and biomarkers are typically used to monitor CVD in children, the links between GLY and biomarkers of CVD provide evidence for the first time of a potential role for GLY in CVD in children with obesity.

We aimed to assess the impact of metabolic disorders and oxidant-antioxidant imbalance associated with primary obesity on bone resorption and formation processes. Anthropometric parameters, metabolic variables, oxidative stress indicators (malondialdehyde, vitamins A and E, uric acid, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, type 1 paraoxonase, iron-reducing plasma antioxidant power) and markers of bone turnover (type I procollagen N-terminal propeptide and the type I collagen C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide; P1NP and CTX) were assessed in 108 Polish participants. Under the influence of oxidative stress, both enzymatic and non-enzymatic defense mechanisms were stimulated in obese subjects, especially in women, who had increased lipid peroxidation and activity of catalase (particularly in first-degree obesity) and decreased vitamin E concentration. The process of lipid peroxidation, as well as the weakening of the bone formation, was strongly manifested in women at a BMI range of 35.0-39.9 kg/m2 but not at BMI > 40.0 kg/m2, but it had a comprehensive negative impact on bone turnover in obese men. Obesity and its degree of advancement significantly affected the decrease in the concentration of the marker of bone formation-P1NP-only in the plasma of women. Excessive body weight had no effect on the value of the bone resorption marker in plasma, regardless of gender. Our results confirm the existence of the "obesity paradox" in the aspect of bone tissue metabolism and suggest that a specific body weight threshold changed the molecular response of the tissue. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants).

Obesity worsens severe asthma and reduces quality of life, although its specific molecular impact remains unclear. We previously demonstrated that hsa-miR-26a-1-3p and hsa-miR-376a-3p, biomarkers related to an inflammatory profile, discriminate eosinophilic from non-eosinophilic asthmatics. We aimed to study hsa-miR-26a-1-3p, hsa-miR-376a-3p, and their target genes in asthmatic subjects with or without obesity to find biomarkers and comprehend obese asthma mechanisms. Lung tissue samples were obtained from asthmatic patients (n = 16) and healthy subjects (n = 20). We measured miRNA expression using RT-qPCR and protein levels (IGF axis) by ELISA in confirmation samples from eosinophilic (n = 38) and non-eosinophilic (n = 39) obese (n = 26) and non-obese (n = 51) asthma patients. Asthmatic lungs showed higher hsa-miR-26a-1-3p and hsa-miR-376a-3p expression than healthy lungs. A study of seven genes regulated by these miRNAs revealed differential expression of IGFBP3 between asthma patients and healthy individuals. In obese asthma patients, we found higher hsa-miR-26a-1-3p and IGF-1R values and lower values for hsa-miR-376a-3p and IGFBP-3. Hsa-miR-26a-1-3p and IGFBP-3 were directly and inversely correlated with body mass index, respectively. Hsa-miR-26a-1-3p and hsa-miR-376a-3p could be used as biomarkers to phenotype patients with eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic asthma in relation to comorbid obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3). 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (MIRN376A1 microRNA, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med24&DO=10.3390%2fijms241411620 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Gil-Martinez&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Obese+Asthma+Phenotype+Is+Associated+with+hsa-miR-26a-1-3p+and+hsa-miR-376a-3p+Modulating+the+IGF+Axis.&volume=24&issue=14&spage=&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.3390%2Fijms241411620&pmid=37511378&sid=OVID:medline + +<202> +Unique Identifier + 37506863 +Title + Unravelling the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of standardized green and black caffeinated coffee, tea, and their mixtures in an obese male rat model: Insights from biochemical, metabolomic, and histopathological analyses. +Source + Food & Chemical Toxicology. 179:113971, 2023 Sep. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + El-Kersh DM; Kotob SE; Ammar NM; Mohawed OAM; Ahmed HH; Farag MA +Authors Full Name + El-Kersh, Dina M; Kotob, Soheir E; Ammar, Naglaa M; Mohawed, Ola A M; Ahmed, Hanaa H; Farag, Mohamed A. +Institution + El-Kersh, Dina M.

This study aimed to discern altered metabolic pathways associated with obesity and to pinpoint metabolite biomarkers in serum of obese rats fed on high fructose diet using metabolomics. Further, the effect of standardized green versus black caffeinated aqueous extracts (tea and coffee) in controlling obesity and its comorbidities through monitoring relevant serum biomarkers viz. Leptin, adiponectin, spexin, malondialdehyde, total antioxidant capacity. Liver tissue oxidative stress (catalase, super oxide dismutase and glutathione) and inflammation (IL-1beta and IL-6) markers were assessed for green coffee and its mixture with green tea. Results revealed improvement of all parameters upon treatments with more prominence for those treated with green caffeinated extract (coffee and tea) especially in mixture. Upon comparing with obese rat group, the green mixture of coffee and tea exhibited anti-hyperlipidemic action through lowering serum triglycerides by 35.0% and elevating high density lipoprotein by 71.0%. Black tea was likewise effective in lowering serum cholesterol and low density lipoprotein by 28.0 and 50.6%, respectively.

Pediatric NAFLD pathophysiology is tangled and still unclear, but insulin resistance (IR), genetics, epigenetics, oxidative stress, and inflammation act as key players. Due to the increased cardiometabolic risk of these patients, several biomarkers have been proposed for early NAFLD identification, but their clinical utility is poor. Recently, hepatic dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been linked to metabolic dysfunction, which in turn implied in NAFLD development. Evidence on the intriguing role of miRNAs in NAFLD pathogenesis has emerging especially in at-risk children such as those with obesity. However, pediatric evidence supporting their potential use as early noninvasive NAFLD tools is still limited but promising. + + AREAS COVERED: We provided an overview on the emerging role of miRNAs in pediatric NAFLD by addressing some issues regarding their pathophysiological link with the metabolic milieu and their role as reliable NAFLD markers in children with obesity. + + EXPERT OPINION: Strong evidence supports a potential role of miRNAs as early biomarkers of NAFLD in children with obesity. They might represent a valid diagnostic and targeted therapeutic tool due to its close pathogenic link with the metabolic milieu. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been recognized as being associated with the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. However, the exact mechanisms and links between the two are not clear. + + Methods: We downloaded clinical information data and gene expression profiles for OA and MetS from the database of Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and immune related gene (IRG) from the database of Immunology Database and Analysis Portal (IMMPORT). After screening OA-DEG and MetS-DEG, we identified the common immune hub gene by screening the overlapping genes between OA-DEG, MetS-DEG and IRG. Then we conducted single-gene analysis of S100A8, assessed the correlation of S100A8 with immune cell infiltration, and verified the diagnostic value of S100A8 in OA and MetS database respectively. + + Results: 323 OA-DEGs,101 MetS-DEGs and an immune-related hub gene, S100A8, were identified. In single gene analysis of S100A8 in OA samples, GSEA suggested that immune-related biological processes were more significantly enriched. The results of immune cell infiltration analysis showed that the enrichment fraction of M2 macrophages was significantly higher in the high S100A8-expressing group, and the level of S100A8 expression was positively correlated with M2 macrophage infiltration. The results of the dataset validation showed that S100A8 expression levels were significantly upregulated in the OA group and performed well in the diagnosis of OA. In single gene analysis of S100A8 in MetS samples, immune cell infiltration analysis showed that monocyte infiltration was higher in the S100A8 high expression samples and that there was a positive correlation between the two. Dataset validation showed that S100A8 is of high value for the diagnosis of MetS. In the validation of the dataset for the four metabolism-related diseases (obesity, diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia), S100A8 was expressed at higher levels in the disease group and also had a higher diagnostic value for the four metabolism-related diseases. + + Conclusion: S100A8 is a common hub gene and diagnostic biomarker for OA and MetS, and the immune regulation involved in S100A8 may play a central role in the pathogenesis of OA and MetS.

Adipose tissue is the largest reservoir of FA and acts differently in obese individuals. Menopause by itself significantly alters metabolism, lipid metabolism dysregulation, and adipose tissue distribution. How adipose tissue FA alters an obese individual's metabolism depending on a female's menopausal status is yet poorly understood. Hence, the subcutaneous (scAT) and visceral adipose tissue (vAT) FA profile for 173 obese premenopausal and postmenopausal women was measured and associated with biochemical parameters. scAT and vAT FA profiles were distinct by themselves and in menopause. In total 816 associations were found with biochemical parameters, where only 58 were independent of the menopausal status. The associations found to emphasize the importance of assessing the adipose tissue FA profile and how their behavior changes with menopause. The FA are crucial in metabolic processes and can be helpful biomarkers in the prevention/treatment and follow-up of female obesity. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.

This study aimed to evaluate and compare cardiometabolic risk factors, and the lipidomic profile in adults and older people. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 72 individuals, divided into two sex and age-matched groups: obese (body mass index-BMI >= 30 kg/m2; n = 36) and non-obese (BMI < 30 kg/m2; n = 36). The lipidomic profiles were evaluated in plasma using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. Obese individuals had higher waist circumference (p < 0.001), visceral adiposity index (p = 0.029), homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (p = 0.010), and triacylglycerols (TAG) levels (p = 0.018). 1H-NMR analysis identified higher amounts of saturated lipid metabolite fragments, lower levels of unsaturated lipids, and some phosphatidylcholine species in the obese group. Two powerful machine learning (ML) models-k-nearest neighbors (kNN) and XGBoost (XGB) were employed to characterize the lipidomic profile of obese individuals. The results revealed metabolic alterations associated with obesity in the NMR signals. The models achieved high accuracy of 86% and 81%, respectively. The feature importance analysis identified signal at 1.50-1.60 ppm (-CO-CH2-CH2-, Cholesterol and fatty acid in TAG, Phospholipids) to have the highest importance in the two models. Copyright © 2023.

SAH data were obtained from electronic medical records. The sample was stratified in the Normotensive Group (NG) and the Hypertensive Group (HG), and laboratory markers, body composition, polysomnography, and HRV were measured to evaluate the association of SAH with the predictor variables. For the analysis, p<0.05 was adopted. + + RESULTS: The average age of the NG was 36.3 +/- 10.1 and HG 40.4 +/- 10.6 years; 73.7% were women in the NG and 57.9% in HG; 82.4% in HG had insulin resistance. In the multivarious logistics regression model with adjustments in age, sex, height, and oxyhemoglobin saturation, SAH was inversely associated with fasting plasma glucose mg/dL (odds ratio [OR] = 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.92-0.99) and visceral fat area (VFA) cm2(OR = 0.98; 95% CI = 0.97-0.99). The area under the VFA curve was 0.728; CI 95% (0.620-0.836); fasting plasma glucose 0.693;CI 95% (0.582-0.804). + + CONCLUSIONS: Lower VFA and fasting plasma glucose concentrations were inversely associated with SAH. In addition, fasting plasma glucose and VFA showed a high sensitivity for SAH screening. +Other Abstract + Publisher + FUNDAMENTO: A hipertensao arterial sistemica (HAS) e uma doenca multifatorial, altamente prevalente e associada a riscos a saude. + OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a associacao entre HAS e marcadores laboratoriais, antropometricos, de variabilidade da frequencia cardiaca (VFC) e de apneia obstrutiva do sono e, em segundo plano, analisar a sensibilidade e especificidade das variaveis que sao fatores independentes na associacao. + METODOS: Estudo transversal com 95 pacientes obesos atendidos em um ambulatorio de referencia em obesidade em Salvador, BA, Brasil. Os dados da HAS foram obtidos dos prontuarios eletronicos. A amostra foi estratificada em Grupo Normotenso (GN) e Grupo Hipertenso (GH), sendo medidos marcadores laboratoriais, composicao corporal, polissonografia e VFC para avaliar a associacao da HAS com as variaveis preditoras. Para as analises, adotou-se p<0,05. + RESULTADOS: A media da idade do GN foi de 36,3 +/- 10,1 e GH 40,4 +/- 10,6 anos, 73,7% eram mulheres no GN e 57,9% no GH; 82,4% no GH apresentavam resistencia a insulina. No modelo de regressao logistica multivariado com ajustes para idade, sexo, altura e saturacao de oxi-hemoglobina, a HAS foi inversamente associada a glicose plasmatica em jejum mg/dL (odds ratio [OR] = 0,96; intervalo de confianca de 95% [IC] = 0,92-0,99) e area de gordura visceral (AGV) cm2 (OR = 0,98; IC 95% = 0,97-0,99).

The aim of the current study was to identify novel epigenetic biomarkers determining the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). + + METHODS: Livers of 10-week-old female New Zealand Obese (NZO) mice, slightly differing in their degree of hyperglycemia and liver fat content and thereby in their diabetes susceptibility were used for expression and methylation profiling. We screened for differences in hepatic expression and DNA methylation in diabetes-prone and -resistant mice, and verified a candidate (HAMP) in human livers and blood cells. Hamp expression was manipulated in primary hepatocytes and insulin-stimulated pAKT was detected. Luciferase reporter assays were conducted in a murine liver cell line to test the impact of DNA methylation on promoter activity. + + RESULTS: In livers of NZO mice, the overlap of methylome and transcriptome analyses revealed a potential transcriptional dysregulation of 12 hepatokines. The strongest effect with a 52% decreased expression in livers of diabetes-prone mice was detected for the Hamp gene, mediated by elevated DNA methylation of two CpG sites located in the promoter. Hamp encodes the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin, which had a lower abundance in the livers of mice prone to developing diabetes. Suppression of Hamp reduces the levels of pAKT in insulin-treated hepatocytes. In liver biopsies of obese insulin-resistant women, HAMP expression was significantly downregulated along with increased DNA methylation of a homologous CpG site. In blood cells of incident T2D cases from the prospective EPIC-Potsdam cohort, higher DNA methylation of two CpG sites was related to increased risk of incident diabetes. + + CONCLUSIONS: We identified epigenetic changes in the HAMP gene which may be used as an early marker preceding T2D.

In total, 172 participants were randomly allocated to either synbiotic V5 or V7 groups or the placebo group. The primary outcome was change in BMI and body fat percentage. Secondary outcomes were changes in weight, other metabolic health and inflammatory markers, gastrointestinal quality of life, and eating behaviors. + + RESULTS: The V5 and V7 groups had a significant reduction in BMI (p < 0.0001) from baseline to the end of the study, as opposed to the nonsignificant change in the placebo group (p = 0.0711). This reduction in the V5 and V7 groups was statistically significant when compared individually with the change in the placebo group (p < 0.0001). This corresponded well with the decrease in body weight with V5 and V7 (p < 0.0001). In addition, compared with placebo, the increase in high-density lipoprotein was statistically significant in the V5 (p < 0.0001) and V7 groups (p = 0.0205). A similar trend was observed in the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, with a statistically significant decrease in the V5 (p < 0.0001) and V7 (0.0005) groups. + + CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrates that synbiotic V5 and V7 were effective in reducing body weight in individuals with lifestyle modification.

This study aims to investigate a possible relationship of fetal AGD with maternal diabetes and obesity, and to evaluate whether AGD predicts the fetal androgen exposure related to diabetes and obesity in female fetus. This study is the first to focus on the relationship between offspring's AGD and maternal diabetes and obesity. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective study investigating 218 pregnant women (125 in control group and 93 in study group). Fetal AGD was measured from the center of anus to the posterior convergence of the fourchette by ultrasound. Multivariate linear regression analysis was applied to assess the association of the fetal AGD length with maternal diabetes and obesity. + + RESULTS: The control patients had significantly shorter fetal AGD (mean:10.7 mm, P < 0.001) compared to diabetic, obese and diabetic obese patients (mean: 12.6 mm, 12.8 mm and 12.9 mm, respectively). The results of regression analysis showed that both maternal diabetes and obesity were significantly correlated with longer AGD in female fetus. The results confirmed also that offspring's AGD measurement in utero by ultrasound is feasible and reliable. + + CONCLUSION: The study findings suggest that both maternal diabetes and obesity are associated with intrauterine androgenic milieu during pregnancy, and fetal AGD may be used as a biomarker to predict this effect. This may provide important advantages in terms of early detection of reproductive system abnormalities related to prenatal androgen exposure. Copyright © 2023.

We have investigated whether inflammatory responses to glycemic and insulinemic variations are altered in obese individuals. + + METHODS: Eight obese and eight lean individuals without diabetes had undergone hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic-hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic clamps in a previous study. Using Proximity Extension Assay, 92 inflammatory markers were analyzed from plasma samples at fasting, hyperinsulinemia-euglycemia, hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. + + RESULTS: In all participants, hyperinsulinemia, hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia led to reductions of 11, 19 and 62 out of the 70 fully evaluable biomarkers, respectively. FGF-21 increased during both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia while IL-6 and IL-10 increased during hypoglycemia. In obese vs lean participants, Oncostatin-M, Caspase-8 and 4E-BP1 were more markedly suppressed during hypoglycemia, whereas VEGF-A was more markedly suppressed during hyperglycemia. BMI correlated inversely with changes of PD-L1 and CD40 during hyperinsulinemia, Oncostatin-M, TNFSF14, FGF-21 and 4EBP-1 during hypoglycemia and CCL23, VEGF-A and CDCP1 during hyperglycemia (Rho <= -0.50). HbA1c correlated positively with changes of MCP-2 and IL-15-RA during hyperinsulinemia (Rho >= 0.51) and inversely with changes of CXCL1, MMP-1 and Axin-1 during hypoglycemia (Rho <= -0.55). M-value correlated positively with changes of IL-12B and VEGF-A during hyperglycemia (Rho >= 0.51). Results above were significant (p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSION: Overall, hyperinsulinemia, hypo- and hyperglycemia led to suppression of several inflammatory markers and this tended to be more marked in individuals with obesity, insulin resistance and dysglycemia. Thus, acute glycemic or insulinemic variations do not seem to potentiate possible inflammatory pathways in the development of insulin resistance and disturbed glucose metabolism. Copyright © 2023.

Despite low-cost, highly-effectively, easy-to-treat strategies, it is estimated that ~720 million people are not receiving the treatment they need for optimal hypertension management. Several factors contribute to this including an unwillingness to be treated for an asymptomatic condition. + + RECENT FINDINGS: Biomarkers such as troponin, B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP), N-terminal-pro hormone BNP (NT-proBNP), uric acid, microalbuminuria have been found to be associated with adverse clinical outcomes among individuals with hypertension. Biomarkers also allow for identification of asymptomatic organ damage. + + SUMMARY: Biomarkers have the ability to identify higher risk individuals in whom risk-benefit for therapies may be most favorable, helping optimize the net benefit of therapy. Whether biomarkers can help guide therapy intensity and choice remains to be tested. Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Data were obtained on baseline lipids and outcomes after cancer from 1263 postmenopausal women diagnosed with 13 obesity-related cancers who were part of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) lipid biomarkers cohort. Obesity-related cancers included incident invasive cancers of the breast, colorectum, endometrium, esophagus (adenocarcinoma), kidney, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, ovaries, small intestine, thyroid, stomach, as well as multiple myeloma. Baseline lipid measurements included high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, and non-HDL-cholesterol. Outcomes were all cause, cancer-specific, and CVD mortality. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to measure associations between lipid levels and mortality (all cause, cancer, and CVD) after a cancer diagnosis, with lipids analyzed as continuous variables. + + RESULTS: Among women with obesity-related cancer, there were 707 deaths, of which 379 (54%) were due to cancer and 113 (16%) were due to CVD. Mean time from blood draw to cancer diagnosis was 5.1 years (range: 0.05-10 years). LDL-C values above the 95th percentile were associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality (p < 0.001), and cancer-specific mortality (p < 0.001), but not mortality due to CVD. Non-HDL-C values above the 65th percentile were associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality (p = 0.01) and mortality due to CVD (p = 0.003), but not cancer-specific mortality (p = 0.37). HDL-C values above the 95th percentile were associated with lower all-cause mortality (p = 0.002), and above the 65th percentile with lower cancer-specific mortality (p = 0.003), but no significant relationship with mortality due to CVD was observed. + + CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between pre-diagnosis fasting lipid levels and mortality after cancer diagnosis is complex. These results suggest that improved lipid control through lifestyle and anti-lipid medications could have a meaningful impact on outcomes after cancer. Copyright © 2023 The Authors.

As dietary components modulate the human body's inflammatory status, the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII R), a literature-derived dietary index, was developed in 2009 to characterize the inflammatory potential of a habitual diet. Abundant research has been conducted to investigate the associations between DII and obesity. In this narrative review, we examined the current state of the science regarding the relationships between DII and the inflammatory pathophysiological aspects related to obesity. DII is associated with inflammation in obesity. The most pro-inflammatory diet was directly related to higher levels of pro-inflammatory markers, which included C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1beta, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Therefore, evidence suggests that the use of the DII may be useful for understanding the relationship between diet and the inflammatory process related to obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, the cause of the decline is yet to be fully elucidated. Therefore, the aims of this study were to examine the associations between chronic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with total testosterone (TT) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), using a large nationally-representative data set (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; NHANES). + + METHODS: NHANES is a cross-sectional survey, physical examination, and laboratory evaluation of a nationally-representative sample of a non-institutionalized United States population. Male participants aged >=18 years during the NHANES 2013-2014 and NHANES 2015-2016 survey periods were selected for this analysis. The analysis included the following data: body mass index (BMI), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), insulin, glucose, and age. + + RESULTS: An overweight or obese condition was significantly inversely associated with TT and SHBG, even after adjusting for other variables. Several variables associated with T2DM (OGTT, HOMA-IR, insulin, and glucose) were also inversely associated with TT; however, only the associations between OGTT and insulin with TT remained significant after adjusting for the other variables. Insulin and HOMA-IR levels were significantly inversely associated with SHBG; however, only the association between SHBG and pre-diabetic HOMA-IR levels remained significant after adjusting for the other variables. OGTT became significantly associated with SHBG after adjusting for the other variables. Age was significantly inversely associated with TT, but positively associated with SHBG, even after adjusting for other variables. + + CONCLUSION: The results of the present study, which is the largest to date, indicate that a marker of obesity, BMI, and some markers of T2DM are both independently and significantly inversely associated with TT and SHBG.

However, the role of waist circumference as a mediating factor is still unknown. Thus, our aims were to (1) test the associations between 24-hour movement behavior variables (physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep), abdominal obesity, and pro- and anti-inflammatory biomarkers; and (2) investigate whether abdominal obesity had a mediating effect between the investigated associations. + + METHODS: This multicenter cross-sectional study included 3591 adolescents (aged 12-17 y) from 4 Brazilian cities. Waist circumference (in centimeters; at half the distance between the iliac crest and at the lower costal margin), 24-hour movement behaviors (validated questionnaire), high-sensitive C-reactive protein, and adiponectin (serum plasma) were evaluated. We used multiple mediation regression models (95% confidence interval) to determine if waist circumference mediated the association between 24-hour movement behaviors and pro- and anti-inflammatory biomarkers. + + RESULTS: The results revealed that screen time and moderate to vigorous physical activity were not associated with pro- or anti-inflammatory biomarkers. However, sleep duration (in hours per day) was negatively associated with pro- (C-reactive protein, beta = -0.08; 95% confidence interval, -0.38 to -0.02) and anti- (adiponectin, beta = -0.31; 95% confidence interval, -2.13 to -0.12) inflammatory biomarkers. Our results also showed that waist circumference mediated the association between sleep duration and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (2.7%), and adiponectin (2.8%). + + CONCLUSION: Sleep duration was inversely associated with pro- and anti-inflammatory biomarkers, and these relations were mediated by abdominal obesity. Therefore, adolescents having healthy sleep can have implications for reducing waist circumference and inflammatory indicators. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Multicenter Study.

One of the mechanisms through which excess body weight may affect cognition is inflammation. + + HYPOTHESIS: Our hypothesis is that both body mass index (BMI) and circulating levels of inflammatory biomarkers will be negatively related to cognitive performance. + + DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. + + SETTING: Users of the public health centres of the Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa (Terrassa, Spain) between 2010 and 2017 aged 12-21 years. + + PARTICIPANTS: One hundred and five adolescents (46 normoweight, 18 overweight, 41 obese). + + MEASUREMENTS: Levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and fibrinogen were determined from blood samples. Cognitive performance was evaluated and six cognitive composites were obtained: working memory, cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, decision-making, verbal memory, and fine motor speed. A single multivariate general lineal model was used to assess the influence of the four inflammatory biomarkers, as well as participants' BMI, sex, and age on the 6 cognitive indexes. + + RESULTS: An inverse relationship between BMI and inhibitory control (F = 5.688, p = .019; beta = -0.212, p = .031), verbal memory (F = 5.404, p = .022; beta = -0.255, p = .009) and fine motor speed (F = 9.038, p = .003; beta = -0.319, p = .001) was observed. Levels of TNFalpha and fibrinogen were inversely related to inhibitory control (F = 5.055, p = .027; beta = -0.226, p = .021) and verbal memory (F = 4.732, p = .032; beta = -0.274, p = .005), respectively. + + LIMITATIONS: The cross-sectional nature of the study, the use of cognitive tests designed for clinical purposes, and the use of BMI as a proxy for adiposity are limitations of our study that must be taken into account when interpreting results. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that some components of executive functions, together with verbal memory, are sensitive to specific obesity-related inflammatory agents at early ages.

We aimed to clarify the relationship of accelerated biological age, assessed through two established biological age indicators, telomere length and DNA methylation age, and two novel candidate biological age indicators, to child developmental outcomes, including growth and adiposity, cognition, behavior, lung function and the onset of puberty, among European school-age children participating in the HELIX exposome cohort. + + Methods: The study population included up to 1173 children, aged between 5 and 12 years, from study centres in the UK, France, Spain, Norway, Lithuania, and Greece. Telomere length was measured through qPCR, blood DNA methylation, and gene expression was measured using microarray, and proteins and metabolites were measured by a range of targeted assays. DNA methylation age was assessed using Horvath's skin and blood clock, while novel blood transcriptome and 'immunometabolic' (based on plasma proteins and urinary and serum metabolites) clocks were derived and tested in a subset of children assessed six months after the main follow-up visit. Associations between biological age indicators with child developmental measures as well as health risk factors were estimated using linear regression, adjusted for chronological age, sex, ethnicity, and study centre. The clock derived markers were expressed as DELTA age (i.e. predicted minus chronological age). + + Results: Transcriptome and immunometabolic clocks predicted chronological age well in the test set (r=0.93 and r=0.84 respectively). Generally, weak correlations were observed, after adjustment for chronological age, between the biological age indicators.Among associations with health risk factors, higher birthweight was associated with greater immunometabolic DELTA age, smoke exposure with greater DNA methylation DELTA age, and high family affluence with longer telomere length.Among associations with child developmental measures, all biological age markers were associated with greater BMI and fat mass, and all markers except telomere length were associated with greater height, at least at nominal significance (p<0.05). Immunometabolic DELTA age was associated with better working memory (p=4 e-3) and reduced inattentiveness (p=4 e-4), while DNA methylation DELTA age was associated with greater inattentiveness (p=0.03) and poorer externalizing behaviors (p=0.01). Shorter telomere length was also associated with poorer externalizing behaviors (p=0.03). + + Conclusions: In children, as in adults, biological aging appears to be a multi-faceted process and adiposity is an important correlate of accelerated biological aging. Patterns of associations suggested that accelerated immunometabolic age may be beneficial for some aspects of child development while accelerated DNA methylation age and telomere attrition may reflect early detrimental aspects of biological aging, apparent even in children. + + Funding: UK Research and Innovation (MR/S03532X/1); European Commission (grant agreement numbers: 308333; 874583). Copyright © 2023, Robinson et al. +Other Abstract + plain-language-summary + Although age is generally measured by the number of years since birth, many factors contribute to the rate at which a person physically ages. In adults, linking these measurements to age gives a measure of overall health and resilience. This 'biological age' offers a better prediction of remaining life and disease risk than the number of years lived. Multiple factors can be used to calculate biological age, such as measuring the length of telomeres - protective caps on the end of chromosomes - which shorten as people age. The rate at which they shorten can give an indication of how quickly someone is ageing. Researchers can also study epigenetic factors: these mechanisms lead to certain genes being switched on or off, and they can be combined into a 'epigenetic clock' to assess biological age. However, compared with adults, the relationship between biological age and child health and developmental maturity is less well understood. Robinson et al. studied 1,173 school-aged children from six European countries, measuring telomere length, epigenetic factors and other biological indicators related to metabolism and the immune system. The relationships between these factors and an array of child developmental measures such as height, weight, behaviour and the age of onset of puberty were established. The findings showed that biological age indicators are only weakly linked to each other in children. Despite this, biological age was related to greater amount of body fat across all tested indicators - which is also associated with biological age in adults and is an important determinant of lifespan. Among several observed effects on development, analysis found that shorter telomere length and older epigenetic age were associated with greater behavioural problems, suggesting they may be detrimental to child development. On the other hand, a greater age due to metabolic and immune related changes was associated with greater cognitive and behavioural maturity. Environmental factors were also linked to biological ageing, with children exposed to smoking in their homes or while their mother was pregnant displaying an older epigenetic age. Robinson et al. showed that biological ageing in children is multifaceted and can have both beneficial and harmful impacts on development. This knowledge is important for identifying early life risk factors that might influence healthy ageing in later life. Future work will help researchers to understand these complex interactions and the long-term consequences for health and well-being. + Language: English +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Serum endocan, ADAMTS97, and ADAMTS9 levels as well as PWV and CIMT measurements of the subjects in the obese and control groups were performed. + + Results: In the obesity group, PWV levels were significantly higher than they were in the control group and endocan levels were significantly lower than they were in the control group. When we compared the obese group with BMI >= 40 and the control group, the BMI >= 40 group had significantly higher PWV and CIMT levels than the control group had, whereas endocan, ADAMTS7, and ADAMTS9 levels were similar to those of the control group. When we compared the obese group with BMI >= 30 < 40 to the control group, endocan levels were lower in the group with BMI >=30 < 40, and PWV and CIMT levels were similar to the control group. + + Conclusion: We found that arterial stiffness and CIMT increased in obese patients with BMI >= 40 and that increased arterial stiffness was associated with age, systolic blood pressure, and HBA1C.

Irisin, a newly discovered myokine/adipokine, is involved in metabolic homeostasis. The present study was carried out to investigate the potential relationship between serum irisin with inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress biomarkers, glycemic indices, and lipid profiles in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. + + Methodology: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 62 participants (n=32 obese participants with diabetes, n=30 participants with normal weight). The participants answered a demographic questionnaire. Serum irisin, glycemic indices, lipid profiles, inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress biomarkers were measured using standard methods. The difference between groups was assessed by independent-sample t-test or by a non-parametric equivalent. For qualitative variables, the Chi-Square test was used. Pearson rho coefficient was used to determine the potential relationship between irisin and inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress biomarkers, glycemic indices, and lipid profiles. A p<0.05 was defined as significant. + + Results: The median (IQR) age of the obese participants with diabetes was 54.0 years (52.2-60.7) and in the normal weight group was 38.0 years (30.0-47.2) (p<0.001). About 78% and 60% of participants in the obese with diabetes and the normal weight groups were females (p>0.05), respectively. Significant differences were observed in serum irisin levels between the two groups, with lower levels (218.74 ng/mL, [144.98-269.26]) noted in the obese with diabetes group compared to the normal weight group (266.68 ng/mL, [200.64-336.57]) with a p=0.024. There was a substantial difference between the two groups regarding IL-6, TNF-alpha, and hs-CRP (p<0.05). IL-6 had a moderate negative correlation with irisin in obese patients with T2DM (r=-0.478, p=0.006). + + Conclusion: Irisin concentration was detected to be lower in obese people with diabetes. A negative relationship was detected between irisin and IL-6. Considering emerging evidence about the beneficial functions of irisin in improving metabolic abnormalities, designing future studies with greater sample sizes that will validate these results is needed.

It enhances the oxygenation of glucose in the muscles. The 91 obese pregnant women (BMI >30 kg/m2) with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosed in the first half of pregnancy has been recruited to the study group. The control group consisted of 10 age matched and homogeneous pregnant women with BMI <25 kg/m2. Blood samples were collected on visit V1 - between the 28th and 32nd week and on visit V2 - between the 37th and 39th week of gestation. The ELISA test was used to measure the adropin level. The results in the study group and the control group were compared. Blood samples were collected at the same visits. The median concentration of adropin was 442.2 pg/ml on V1 and 453.1 pg/ml on V2. The increase was significant (p<0.05). Results were significantly lower in the control group's patients, i.e. 57.0 pg/ml (p<0.001) on V1 and 107.9 pg/ml on V2 (p<0.001). The higher adropin level on the V1 and V2 visits were related to patients' lower BMI and better metabolic control. The increase in the adropin level in the third trimester may have been involved in the weight gain reduction, whereas better dietary adherence might have had a compensatory effect on increasing insulin resistance. However, the small control group is a limitation of this study. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Enho protein, human). 0 (Intercellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med24&DO=10.26402%2fjpp.2023.1.02 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Adamczak&issn=0867-5910&title=Journal+of+Physiology+%26+Pharmacology&atitle=Adropin+as+a+potential+protective+factor+of+metabolic+complications+in+obese+pregnant+women+with+hyperglycaemia+diagnosed+in+early+pregnancy.&volume=74&issue=1&spage=&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.26402%2Fjpp.2023.1.02&pmid=37245229&sid=OVID:medline + +<223> +Unique Identifier + 37237272 +Title + Association of a high-fat diet with I-FABP as a biomarker of intestinal barrier dysfunction driven by metabolic changes in Wistar rats. +Source + Lipids in Health & Disease. 22(1):68, 2023 May 27. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Mahmood A; Faisal MN; Khan JA; Muzaffar H; Muhammad F; Hussain J; Aslam J; Anwar H +Authors Full Name + Mahmood, Aisha; Faisal, Muhammad Naeem; Khan, Junaid Ali; Muzaffar, Humaira; Muhammad, Faqir; Hussain, Jazib; Aslam, Jawad; Anwar, Haseeb. +Institution + Mahmood, Aisha.

From the perspective of obesity, the consumption of a diet rich in fat causes a disruption in the integrity of the gut barrier and an increase in its permeability. + + HYPOTHESIS: There is an association between the expression of I-FABP in the gut and various metabolic changes induced by a high-fat (HF) diet. + + METHODS: Wistar albino rats (n = 90) were divided into three groups (n = 30 per group), viz. One control and two HF diet groups (15 and 30%, respectively) were maintained for 6 weeks. Blood samples were thus collected to evaluate the lipid profile, blood glucose level and other biochemical tests. Tissue sampling was conducted to perform fat staining and immunohistochemistry. + + RESULTS: HF diet-fed rats developed adiposity, insulin resistance, leptin resistance, dyslipidemia, and increased expression of I-FABP in the small intestine compared to the control group. Increased I-FABP expression in the ileal region of the intestine is correlated significantly with higher fat contents in the diet, indicating that higher I-FABP expression occurs due to increased demand of enterocytes to transport lipids, leading to metabolic alterations. + + CONCLUSION: In summary, there is an association between the expression of I-FABP and HF diet-induced metabolic alterations, indicating that I-FABP can be used as a biomarker for intestinal barrier dysfunction.

Methods From August 2020 to December 2021, the clinical data of 78 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and 78 healthy individuals were collected. The two groups were further divided into obese and non-obese groups based on a BMI cutoff of 25. Serum kisspeptin levels were measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pearson's correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between PCOS and kisspeptin levels. Results The weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC), estradiol (E2), and testosterone (T) of the obese PCOS group were significantly higher than those of the study group (p < .05). WC, kisspeptin, triglycerides (TG), glucose (GLU), alanine amiotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA), E2, luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin (PRL), and T in the non-obese PCOS group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < .05). Levels of E2 and TG in the obese PCOS group were significantly higher than those in the non-obese PCOS group (p < .05). Kisspeptin levels in the PCOS group exhibited a significant positive correlation with LH, T, and AMH levels; kisspeptin level positively correlated with T in the non-obese PCOS group and with anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in the obese PCOS group. Conclusion Serum kisspeptin levels are associated with hormone levels in patients with PCOS. Kisspeptin correlates with distinct biochemical indices in obese versus non-obese groups, indicating that kisspeptin may play a role in the prognostication, treatment, and clinical evaluation of patients with varying BMI. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 80497-65-0 (Anti-Mullerian Hormone). 0 (Biomarkers). 9002-68-0 (Follicle Stimulating Hormone). 0 (Kisspeptins). 9002-67-9 (Luteinizing Hormone). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med24&DO=10.1080%2f09513590.2023.2215869 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Gao&issn=0951-3590&title=Gynecological+Endocrinology&atitle=Correlation+between+kisspeptin+and+biochemical+markers+in+obese+and+non-obese+women+with+polycystic+ovary+syndrome.&volume=39&issue=1&spage=2215869&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.1080%2F09513590.2023.2215869&pmid=37236245&sid=OVID:medline + +<225> +Unique Identifier + 37231396 +Title + Association between lipid metabolism and periodontitis in obese patients: a cross-sectional study. +Source + BMC Endocrine Disorders. 23(1):119, 2023 May 25. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Jia R; Zhang Y; Wang Z; Hu B; Wang Z; Qiao H +Authors Full Name + Jia, Ru; Zhang, Yuwei; Wang, Zhiyu; Hu, Bo; Wang, Zhenzhen; Qiao, Hu. +Institution + Jia, Ru.

They were divided into normal body weight group (18.5 < body mass index, BMI < 25, n = 36), overweight group (25 <= BMI < 30, n = 38), and obesity group (BMI >= 30, n = 38) accordingly. The diagnosis of periodontitis was based on the newest international classification of periodontitis. Full-mouth clinical periodontal measurements included: plaque index, periodontal pocket depth, clinical attachment level, and bleeding on probing. Gingival crevicular fluid samples were analyzed for: Interleukin-1beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein. Serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and glycosylated hemoglobin levels were measured. Visfatin, leptin, resistin, and adiponectin levels in serum were also measured. + + RESULTS: The ratio of participants without periodontitis was significantly highest in normal weight group, and the proportion of severe periodontitis (stage III and IV) was highest in obesity group. The periodontal pocket depth, clinical attachment level, and the inflammatory cytokines in gingival crevicular fluid in obesity group and overweight group were higher than those in normal body weight group. The BMI and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were significantly positive correlated with periodontal pocket depth and clinical attachment level. Using a Multivariate logistic regression model, periodontitis correlates to BMI, WHR, serum levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, and adipokines such as visfatin, leptin, and resistin. + + CONCLUSIONS: Obesity is positively correlated with the aggravation of periodontitis. Obesity may aggravate the damage to periodontal tissue by regulating the secretion level of adipokines. Copyright © 2023. The Author(s). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Leptin). 0 (Resistin).

Moreover, treatment efficacy is affected by the genetics of the individual. We used gene expression profiles from a cross-sectional study to identify potential candidate genes for the prediction of diabetes risk and intervention response. + + METHODS: Using a multivariate regression model, we linked gene expression profiles of human skeletal muscle and intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) to fasting glucose levels and glucose infusion rate. Based on the expression patterns of the top predictive genes, we characterised and compared individual gene expression with clinical classifications using k-nearest neighbour clustering. The predictive potential of the candidate genes identified was validated using muscle gene expression data from a longitudinal intervention study. + + RESULTS: We found that genes with a strong association with clinical measures clustered into three distinct expression patterns. Their predictive values for insulin resistance varied substantially between skeletal muscle and IMAT. Moreover, we discovered that individual gene expression-based classifications may differ from classifications based predominantly on clinical variables, indicating that participant stratification may be imprecise if only clinical variables are used for classification. Of the 15 top candidate genes, ST3GAL2, AASS, ARF1 and the transcription factor SIN3A are novel candidates for predicting a refined diabetes risk and intervention response. + + CONCLUSION/INTERPRETATION: Our results confirm that disease progression and successful intervention depend on individual gene expression states. We anticipate that our findings may lead to a better understanding and prediction of individual diabetes risk and may help to develop individualised intervention strategies. Copyright © 2023.

This index could act as an early screening marker in individuals with a high risk of metabolic syndrome (MS) such as obese subjects. + + AIMS: The objective of this work was to detect the cutoff point of the TyG index for the diagnosis of MS according to ATPIII criteria on obese subjects and to compare with HOMA-IR. + + METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study in 1,494 obese subjects. Measurements of adiposity parameters, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, insulin concentration, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid profile, C-reactive protein, adipokines, and the prevalence of MS were determined. The TyG index was calculated from the next equation: Ln (fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) x fasting glucose (mg/dL))/2. + + RESULTS: A total of 1,494 subjects were recruited, 421 males (28.1%) and 1,073 females (71.8%), with an average age of 45.8 +/- 15.3 years (range: 29-62). A total of 677 subjects had MS (45.5%) and 817 did not show MS (54.6%). The averages of HOMA-IR and TyG index values increased as the components of MS were aggregated, and both indexes were higher in subjects with MS. The area under the curve (AUC) of the TyG index according to ATPIII criteria showed values of 0.746 (0.721-0.771; p = 0.001). The cutoff point according to the Youden index was 4.72, with sensitivity and specificity of 87% and 88.2%, respectively. For the HOMA-IR, AUC showed values of 0.682 (0.654-0.710; p = 0.01). The cutoff point was 3.23, with sensitivity and specificity of 78% and 70.1%, respectively. + + CONCLUSIONS: The TyG index is more powerful for predicting MS than HOMA-IR in Caucasian obese subjects.

Phthalates are environmental chemicals that have been suggested to act as obesogens, driving obesity risk. For the associations between phthalates and adiposity, prior studies have focused primarily on body mass index. We hypothesize that more refined measures of adiposity and fat distribution may provide greater insights into these associations given the role of central adiposity in chronic disease risk. + + OBJECTIVES: To evaluate associations between urinary phthalate biomarkers and both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue (VAT and SAT) among postmenopausal women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). + + METHODS: We included 1125 WHI participants with available, coincident measurements of urinary phthalate biomarkers (baseline, year 3) and VAT and SAT (baseline, year 3, year 6). VAT and SAT measurements were estimated from DXA scans. Multilevel mixed-effects models estimated the prospective associations between urinary phthalate biomarkers at baseline and VAT and SAT three years later. + + RESULTS: In multivariable adjusted models, we observed positive associations between some phthalate biomarkers, including the sum of di-isobutyl phthalate (SIGMADiBP) biomarkers, MCNP, and SIGMADEHP, with VAT three years later. For example, we observed positive associations between concentrations of SIGMADiBP and VAT (Q4 vs Q1 beta = 7.15, 95% CI -1.76-16.06; Q3 vs Q1 beta = 10.94, 95% CI 3.55-18.33). Associations were generally attenuated but remained significant after additional adjustment for SAT. MBzP was positively associated with SAT. Other phthalate biomarkers investigated (MEP, MCOP, MCPP, SIGMADBP) were not significantly associated with VAT or SAT. + + DISCUSSION: Based on robust measures of adiposity, this study provides supportive evidence that higher urinary concentrations of select phthalate compounds were associated with higher VAT levels over time in postmenopausal women. Efforts to replicate these findings are needed. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

Here, we extend prior work by analyzing a large cohort of self-identified African Americans in the Jackson Heart Study (n = 1,313). We found 325 proteins associated with incident diabetes after adjusting for age, sex, and sample batch (false discovery rate q < 0.05) measured using a single-stranded DNA aptamer affinity-based method on fasting plasma samples. A subset was independent of established markers of diabetes development pathways, such as adiposity, glycemia, and/or insulin resistance, suggesting potential novel biological processes associated with disease development. Thirty-six associations remained significant after additional adjustments for BMI, fasting plasma glucose, cholesterol levels, hypertension, statin use, and renal function. Twelve associations, including the top associations of complement factor H, formimidoyltransferase cyclodeaminase, serine/threonine-protein kinase 17B, and high-mobility group protein B1, were replicated in a meta-analysis of two self-identified White cohorts-the Framingham Heart Study and the Malmo Diet and Cancer Study-supporting the generalizability of these biomarkers. A selection of these diabetes-associated proteins also improved risk prediction.

This study aimed to determine whether obesity affects NT-proBNP levels in pregnancy. + + STUDY DESIGN: This was a prospective observational study of healthy pregnant people in the third trimester (3TM) and postpartum (PP). Patients were excluded if they had significant medical comorbidities or if their fetuses had anomalies, growth restriction or aneuploidy. NT-proBNP was measured at 28 weeks (3TM), predelivery (PD), 1 to 2 days PP (immediate postpartum [IPP]), and 4 to 6 weeks PP (delayed postpartum [DPP]). LogNT-proBNP levels were analyzed using linear mixed effects models, including BMI < or >=30, time, and time-by-BMI interactions. + + RESULTS: Fifty-five people (28 [51%] with BMI >= 30 and 27 [49%] with BMI < 30) were enrolled. A greater proportion of obese than nonobese subjects developed hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (50 vs. 15%, p = 0.010) and obese patients had higher systolic blood pressures at all time points (p < 0.05). NT-proBNP levels (median [interquartile range] in pg/mL) were 18 (6-28) versus 26 (17-48) at 3TM, 16 (3-38) versus 43 (21-60) at PD, 58 (20-102) versus 63 (38-155) at IPP, and 33 (27-56) versus 23 (8-42) at DPP for obese compared with nonobese patients. In linear mixed effects models, logNT-proBNP was lower in obese patients at 3TM (beta = -0.89 [95% confidence interval, CI: -1.51, -0.26]) and PD (beta = -1.05 [95% CI: -1.72, -0.38]). The logNT-proBNP trends over time differed by BMI category, with higher values in obese patients at both PP time points compared with the 3TM (IPP beta = 1.24 [95% CI: 0.75, 1.73]; DPP beta = 1.08 [95% CI: 0.52, 1.63]), but only IPP for nonobese patients (beta = 0.87 [95% CI: 0.36, 1.38]). + + CONCLUSION: Obese patients had lower NT-proBNP levels than nonobese patients during pregnancy but not PP. The prolonged PP elevation in NT-proBNP in obese patients suggests that their PP cardiac recovery may be more prolonged. + + KEY POINTS: . NT-proBNP levels are lower in obese than nonobese patients during pregnancy.. . Levels remain elevated in obese, but not nonobese, patients up to 4 to 6 weeks' postpartum.. . A lower threshold for concern regarding NT-proBNP levels may be needed in obese pregnant people.. Copyright Thieme.

African American individuals (AA) have lower NP levels and are disproportionately burdened by T2D. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that higher post-challenge insulin in AA adults is associated with lower plasma N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (NT-proANP). A secondary purpose was to explore associations between NT-proANP and adipose depots. Participants were 112 AA and European American (EA) adult men and women. Measures of insulin were obtained from an oral glucose tolerance test and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic glucose clamp. Total and regional adipose depots were measured from DXA and MRI. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess associations of NT-proANP with measures of insulin and adipose depots. Lower NT-proANP concentrations in AA participants was not independent of 30-min insulin area under the curve (AUC). NT-proANP was inversely associated with 30-min insulin AUC in AA participants, and with fasting insulin and HOMA-IR in EA participants. Thigh subcutaneous adipose tissue and perimuscular adipose tissue were positively associated with NT-proANP in EA participants. Higher post-challenge insulin may contribute to lower ANP concentrations in AA adults. Copyright © 2023 The Authors.

It can be used to predict the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events and to assess the residual risk of cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to investigate the correlation between smoking and serum Lp-PLA2 levels in overweight and obese men, and to provide evidence for preventing the cardiovascular diseases. + + METHODS: Male subjects, who participated in health examination at the Health Management Center, Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from May 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021, were selected. The smoking status and other information were collected by the Self-test Scale of Physical Examination. According to the smoking status, they were divided into a never-smoking group, a current smoking group, a quit smoking group and a passive smoking group. According to the daily smoking amount, the current smoking subjects were divided into a <10 cigarettes group, a 10 to 20 cigarettes group, a 21 to 30 cigarettes group, and a >30 cigarettes group. According to the smoking years, the current smoking subjects were divided into a <5 years group, a 5 to 10 years group, a 11 to 20 years group, and a >20 years group.Serum Lp-PLA2 levels and other clinical indexes in different smoking groups were measured and compared, the correlation between smoking and serum Lp-PLA2 levels in overweight and obese men was analyzed by logistic regression analysis. + + RESULTS: Serum Lp-PLA2 levels were significantly different between the never-smoking group and the current smoking group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that, before adjusting other influencing factors and in terms of smoking status, the current smoking group (OR=1.81, 95% CI 1.27 to 2.58, P<0.01) and the quit smoking group (OR=2.09, 95% CI 1.12 to 3.90, P<0.05) were positively correlated with serum Lp-PLA2 levels compared with the never-smoking group, while the passive smoking group had no correlation with serum Lp-PLA2 levels (OR=1.27, 95% CI 0.59 to 2.73, P>0.05). In terms of daily smoking amount, the 10 to 20 cigarettes group (OR=2.09, 95% CI 1.40 to 3.12, P<0.001) and the 21 to 30 cigarettes group (OR=1.98, 95% CI 1.22 to 3.20, P<0.01) were positively correlated with serum Lp-PLA2 levels compared with the never-smoking group, while the <10 cigarettes group (OR=1.45, 95% CI 0.81 to 2.60, P>0.05) and the >30 cigarettes group (OR=1.17, 95% CI 0.60 to 2.28, P>0.05) had no correlation with serum Lp-PLA2 levels. In terms of smoking years, the 5 to 10 years group (OR=1.94, 95% CI 1.07 to 3.53, P<0.05), the 11 to 20 years group (OR=2.06, 95% CI 1.33 to 3.18, P<0.01), and the >20 years group (OR=1.66, 95% CI 1.11 to 2.47, P<0.05) were positively correlated with serum Lp-PLA2 levels compared with the never-smoking group, while the <5 years group had no correlation with serum Lp-PLA2 levels (OR=1.12, 95% CI 0.38 to 3.33, P>0.05). After adjusting for age and other indicators, the correlation between smoking years and serum Lp-PLA2 levels was the same as before adjustment among the above smoking groups, except that the correlation between the smoking 5 to 10 years group and serum Lp-PLA2 levels was not significant (OR=1.77, 95% CI 0.95 to 3.29, P>0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Smoking is correlated with serum Lp-PLA2 levels in overweight and obese men. +Other Abstract + Publisher + : A2(lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2,Lp-PLA2) , , Lp-PLA2 , : 2020 5 1 2021 4 30 , <10 10~20 21~30 >30 ; <5 5~10 11~20 >20 Lp-PLA2 , logistic Lp-PLA2 : Lp-PLA2 (P<0.05) Logistic : , , , (OR=1.81,95% CI:1.27~2.58,P<0.01) (OR=2.09,95% CI:1.12~3.90,P<0.05) Lp-PLA2 , Lp-PLA2 (OR=1.27,95% CI:0.59~2.73,P>0.05); , ,10~20 (OR=2.09,95% CI:1.40~3.12,P<0.001) 21~30 (OR=1.98,95% CI:1.22~3.20,P<0.01) Lp-PLA2 , <10 (OR=1.45,95% CI:0.81~2.60,P>0.05) >30 (OR=1.17,95% CI:0.60~2.28,P>0.05) Lp-PLA2 ; , ,5~10 (OR=1.94,95% CI:1.07~3.53,P<0.05) 11~20 (OR=2.06,95% CI:1.33~3.18,P<0.01) >20 (OR=1.66,95% CI:1.11~2.47,P<0.05) Lp-PLA2 , <5 Lp-PLA2 (OR=1.12,95% CI:0.38~3.33,P>0.05) , 5~10 Lp-PLA2 (OR=1.77,95% CI:0.95~3.29,P>0.05), Lp-PLA2 : Lp-PLA2 . + Language: Chinese +Registry Number/Name of Substance + EC 3-1-1-47 (1-Alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine Esterase). 0 (Tobacco Smoke Pollution). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med23&DO=10.11817%2fj.issn.1672-7347.2023.210457 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Zhou&issn=1672-7347&title=Zhong+Nan+da+Xue+Xue+Bao.+Yi+Xue+Ban+%3D+Journal+of+Central+South+University.+Medical+Sciences&atitle=A2+.&volume=48&issue=2&spage=191&epage=197&date=2023&doi=10.11817%2Fj.issn.1672-7347.2023.210457&pmid=36999465&sid=OVID:medline + +<233> +Unique Identifier + 36999303 +Title + Association between device-measured stepping behaviors and cardiometabolic health markers in middle-aged women: The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health. +Source + Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports. 33(8):1384-1398, 2023 Aug. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Wei L; Ahmadi MN; Chan HW; Chastin S; Hamer M; Mishra GD; Stamatakis E +Author NameID + Wei, Le; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8831-9803 + Ahmadi, Matthew N; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3115-338X + Chan, Hsiu-Wen; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1545-0488 + Chastin, Sebastien; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1421-9348 + Hamer, Mark; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8726-7992 + Mishra, Gita D; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9610-5904 + Stamatakis, Emmanuel; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7323-3225 +Authors Full Name + Wei, Le; Ahmadi, Matthew N; Chan, Hsiu-Wen; Chastin, Sebastien; Hamer, Mark; Mishra, Gita D; Stamatakis, Emmanuel. +Institution + Wei, Le.

This study aimed to examine the associations of daily total, walking, stair, incidental and purposeful steps with cardiometabolic risk. A total of 943 women (mean age +/- SD = 44.1 +/- 1.6 years) from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) were included in this cross-sectional study. Daily total, walking, stair, incidental, and purposeful steps were measured using thigh-worn accelerometry. Outcomes comprised of CM markers of adiposity, blood pressure, resting heart rate, lipids, glycaemia, and the composite CM score. We used generalized linear modeling and multiple linear regression to assess the associations. We observed that all stepping behaviors were beneficial to CM health, for example, compared to the lowest quartile (Q1), the change of the composite CM score across low to high quartile of purposeful steps was -0.12 (Q2, 95% CI: -0.41, 0.17), -0.16 (Q3, -0.46, 0.14), and -0.36 (Q4, -0.66, -0.05). Stair steps showed linear associations with blood pressure and adiposity biomarkers, for example, the change of quartile of waist circumference was -1.45 cm (Q2, -4.35, 1.44), -3.56 cm (Q3, -6.52, -0.60), and -7.08 cm (Q4, -10.31, -3.86). Peak 30-min walking intensity showed independent association with adiposity biomarkers (p linear < 0.001 and p = 0.002 for waist circumference and BMI, respectively). Our study showed that all stepping forms were beneficial to CM health. Higher stair steps and peak 30-min walking cadence were associated with a steep decline of adiposity biomarkers. Purpose ful steps showed more consistent associations with CM biomarkers than incidental steps. Copyright © 2023 The Authors.

We further showed cross-sectional associations of 16 alcohol-associated genes with obesity, nine genes with hypertension, and eight genes with diabetes at P < 0.002. For example, we observed decreased expression of PROK2 (beta = -0.0018; 95%CI: -0.0021, -0.0007; P = 6.5e - 5) and PAX5 (beta = -0.0014; 95%CI: -0.0021, -0.0007; P = 6.5e - 5) per 1 g/day increase in alcohol consumption. Consistent with our previous observation on the inverse association of alcohol consumption with obesity and positive association of alcohol consumption with hypertension, we found that PROK2 was positively associated with obesity (OR = 1.42; 95%CI: 1.17, 1.72; P = 4.5e - 4) and PAX5 was negatively associated with hypertension (OR = 0.73; 95%CI: 0.59, 0.89; P = 1.6e - 3). We also observed that alcohol consumption was positively associated with expression of ABCA13 (beta = 0.0012; 95%CI: 0.0007, 0.0017; P = 1.3e - 6) and ABCA13 was positively associated with diabetes (OR = 2.57; 95%CI: 1.73, 3.84; P = 3.5e - 06); this finding, however, was inconsistent with our observation of an inverse association between alcohol consumption and diabetes. + + CONCLUSIONS: We showed strong cross-sectional associations between alcohol consumption and expression levels of 25 genes in FHS participants.

We measured AMH at approximately 3 years postpartum (baseline). Outcomes were weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference assessed at baseline, 4, and 9 years later; % body fat was assessed by bioimpedance at the 4- and 9-year visit. We used linear mixed-effect models including all outcome time points and accounting for age across follow-up and hormonal contraception prescription. In an additional model, we further adjusted for height. + + RESULTS: Median AMH was 1.97 ng/mL (interquartile range, 0.83-4.36 ng/mL), 29.1% had AMH <1.0 ng/mL, and mean age at AMH measurement was 36.7 years (SD, 4.9 y; range, 20-48 y). AMH was inversely associated with average weight, BMI, and waist circumference over follow-up. In age-adjusted models, women with AMH <1.0 versus >=1.0 ng/mL were 4.92 kg (95% CI, 2.01-7.82 kg) heavier, had a 2.51 cm (95% CI, 0.12-4.89 cm) greater waist circumference, and a 1.46 kg/m 2 (95% CI, 0.44-2.48 kg/m 2 ) greater BMI across the 9 years of follow-up. Findings were similar after covariate adjustment and when AMH was modeled continuously. AMH was also inversely associated with higher fat mass %; however, the CI crossed the null. + + CONCLUSION: Low AMH at baseline was associated with greater adiposity concurrently and across approximately 9 years of follow-up. Whether low AMH is a useful marker of metabolic risk across midlife requires further research.

We hypothesise that obesity-related inflammation compromises adipose tissue functions, preventing efficient fat storage, and thus driving ectopic fat accumulation into the liver. + + METHODS: To identify adipose-based mechanisms and potential serum biomarker candidates (SBCs) for NAFLD, we utilise dual-tissue RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data in adipose tissue and liver, paired with histology-based NAFLD diagnosis, from the same individuals in a cohort of obese individuals. We first scan for genes that are differentially expressed (DE) for NAFLD in obese individuals' subcutaneous adipose tissue but not in their liver; encode proteins secreted to serum; and show preferential adipose expression. Then the identified genes are filtered to key adipose-origin NAFLD genes by best subset analysis, knockdown experiments during human preadipocyte differentiation, recombinant protein treatment experiments in human liver HepG2 cells, and genetic analysis. + + FINDINGS: We discover a set of genes, including 10 SBCs, that may modulate NAFLD pathogenesis by impacting adipose tissue function. Based on best subset analysis, we further follow-up on two SBCs CCDC80 and SOD3 by knockdown in human preadipocytes and subsequent differentiation experiments, which show that they modulate crucial adipogenesis genes, LPL, SREBPF1, and LEP. We also show that treatment of the liver HepG2 cells with the CCDC80 and SOD3 recombinant proteins impacts genes related to steatosis and lipid processing, including PPARA, NFE2L2, and RNF128. Finally, utilizing the adipose NAFLD DE gene cis-regulatory variants associated with serum triglycerides (TGs) in extensive genome-wide association studies (GWASs), we demonstrate a unidirectional effect of serum TGs on NAFLD with Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis. We also demonstrate that a single SNP regulating one of the SBC genes, rs2845885, produces a significant MR result by itself. This supports the conclusion that genetically regulated adipose expression of the NAFLD DE genes may contribute to NAFLD through changes in serum TG levels. + + INTERPRETATION: Our results from the dual-tissue transcriptomics screening improve the understanding of obesity-related NAFLD by providing a targeted set of 10 adipose tissue-active genes as new serum biomarker candidates for the currently grossly underdiagnosed fatty liver disease. + + FUNDING: The work was supported by NIH grants R01HG010505 and R01DK132775.

Causal inference studies largely assume a linear relationship between BMI and cardiometabolic outcomes, which may not be the case. In this study, we investigated the shapes of the causal relationships between BMI and cardiometabolic diseases and risk factors. We further investigated sex differences within the causal framework. + + METHODS: To assess causal relationships between BMI and the outcomes, we used two-stage least-squares Mendelian randomisation (MR), with a polygenic risk score for BMI as the instrumental variable. To elucidate the shapes of the causal relationships, we used a non-linear MR fractional polynomial method, and used piecewise MR to investigate threshold relationships and confirm the shapes. + + RESULTS: BMI was associated with type 2 diabetes (OR 3.10; 95% CI 2.73, 3.53), hypertension (OR 1.53; 95% CI 1.44, 1.62) and coronary artery disease (OR 1.20; 95% CI 1.08, 1.33), but not chronic kidney disease (OR 1.08; 95% CI 0.67, 1.72) or stroke (OR 1.08; 95% CI 0.92, 1.28). The data suggest that these relationships are non-linear. For cardiometabolic risk factors, BMI was positively associated with glucose, HbA1c, triacylglycerol levels and both systolic and diastolic BP. BMI had an inverse causal relationship with total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol. The data suggest a non-linear causal relationship between BMI and BP and other biomarkers (p<0.001) except lipoprotein A. The piecewise MR results were consistent with the fractional polynomial results. The causal effect of BMI on coronary artery disease, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol was different in men and women, but this sex difference was only significant for LDL-cholesterol after controlling for multiple testing (p<0.001). Further, the causal effect of BMI on coronary artery disease varied by menopause status in women. + + CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: We describe the shapes of causal effects of BMI on cardiometabolic diseases and risk factors, and report sex differences in the causal effects of BMI on LDL-cholesterol. We found evidence of non-linearity in the causal effect of BMI on diseases and risk factor biomarkers. Reducing excess adiposity is highly beneficial for health, but there is greater need to consider biological sex in the management of adiposity. Copyright © 2022.

We hypothesized that the use of metabolic profiles may provide new insights into cancer prediction. + + METHODS: We used information from 290,888 UK Biobank participants aged 37 to 73 years at baseline. Metabolic subgroups were defined based on clustering of biochemical data using an artificial neural network approach and examined for their association with incident cancers identified through linkage to cancer registry. In addition, we evaluated associations between 38 individual biomarkers and cancer risk. + + RESULTS: In total, 21,973 individuals developed cancer during the follow-up (median 3.87 years, interquartile range [IQR] = 2.03-5.58). Compared to the metabolically favorable subgroup (IV), subgroup III (defined as "high BMI, C-reactive protein & cystatin C") was associated with a higher risk of obesity-related cancers (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.26, 95 % CI = 1.21 to 1.32) and hematologic-malignancies (e.g., lymphoid leukemia: HR = 1.83, 95%CI = 1.44 to 2.33). Subgroup II ("high triglycerides & liver enzymes") was strongly associated with liver cancer risk (HR = 5.70, 95%CI = 3.57 to 9.11). Analysis of individual biomarkers showed a positive association between testosterone and greater risks of hormone-sensitive cancers (HR per SD higher = 1.32, 95%CI = 1.23 to 1.44), and liver cancer (HR = 2.49, 95%CI =1.47 to 4.24). Many liver tests were individually associated with a greater risk of liver cancer with the strongest association observed for gamma-glutamyl transferase (HR = 2.40, 95%CI = 2.19 to 2.65). + + CONCLUSIONS: Metabolic profile in middle-to-older age can predict cancer incidence, in particular risk of obesity-related cancer, hematologic malignancies, and liver cancer. Elevated values from liver tests are strong predictors for later risk of liver cancer. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Anthropometric measures and biomarkers were measured at study baseline approximately 20 years prior, and C-reactive protein (CRP) and fibrinogen were measured longitudinally. Log-binomial regression was used to model the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS), obesity (>=35 body mass index), CRP, and fibrinogen with PN, adjusting for sociodemographic and health behavior measures. + + RESULTS: Baseline MetS [prevalence ratio (PR) 1.79, 95% CI (1.45, 2.20)], obesity [PR 2.08 (1.65, 2.61)], median CRP [PR 1.32 per log(mg/dL), (1.20, 1.45)], and mean fibrinogen (PR 1.28 per 100 mg/dL, (1.09, 1.50)] were associated with PN symptoms at V15. After excluding participants with baseline diabetes or obesity, MetS [PR 1.59 (1.17, 2.14)] and CRP [PR 1.19 per log(mg/dL), (1.06, 1.35)] remained statistically significantly associated with PN. There was a negative interaction between MetS and obesity, and the association between these conditions and PN was mediated by CRP. + + CONCLUSIONS: Cardiometabolic factors and inflammation are significantly associated with PN, independent of diabetes and obesity. CRP mediates the relationship of both obesity and MetS with PN, suggesting an etiological role of inflammation in PN in this sample. Copyright © The Author(s) 2022.

Biomarker concentrations were determined using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Mixed models assessed for a time effect, group effect, or group by time interaction. + + RESULTS: All groups significantly improved body weight (time: p < 0.0001), Lipoprotein Insulin Resistance Index score (time: p < 0.0001), Diabetes Risk Index score (time: p < 0.0001), branched-chain amino acid concentration (time: p < 0.0001), and GlycA concentration (time: p < 0.0001), with no group effect or group by time interactions. + + CONCLUSIONS: All intervention groups prompted a notable beneficial change among biomarkers of insulin resistance and cardiometabolic health. However, the addition of at least moderate-intensity physical activity to a diet-only intervention did not provide any additional benefit. These findings highlight that an average weight loss of approximately 10% profoundly impacts biomarkers of insulin resistance and cardiometabolic disease in adults with overweight or obesity.

Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry was performed to quantify 38 serum BAs. + + RESULTS: Compared to those without fibrosis, patients with mild fibrosis (stage F1) had significantly higher levels of secondary BAs, and increased diastolic blood pressure (DBP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), body mass index, and waist circumstance (WC). The combination of serum BAs with WC, DBP, ALT, or Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance performed well in identifying mild fibrosis, in men and women, and in those with/without obesity, with AUROCs 0.80, 0.88, 0.75 and 0.78 in the training set (n = 385), and 0.69, 0.80, 0.61 and 0.69 in the testing set (n = 165), respectively. In comparison, the combination of BAs and clinical/biochemical biomarkers performed less well in identifying significant fibrosis (F2-4). In women and in non-obese subjects, AUROCs were 0.75 and 0.71 in the training set, 0.65 and 0.66 in the validation set, respectively. However, these AUROCs were higher than those observed for the fibrosis-4 index, NAFLD fibrosis score, and Hepamet fibrosis score. + + CONCLUSIONS: Secondary BA levels were significantly increased in NAFLD, especially in those with mild fibrosis. The combination of serum BAs and clinical/biochemical biomarkers for identifying mild fibrosis merits further assessment.

Observational studies suggest that weight loss before pregnancy may be a promising GDM prevention method. Still, biochemical pathways linking preconception weight changes with subsequent development of GDM among women who are overweight or obese remain unclear. Metabolomic assessment is a powerful approach for understanding the global biochemical pathways linking preconception weight changes and subsequent GDM. We hypothesize that many of the alterations of metabolite levels associated with GDM will change in one direction in GDM studies but will change in the opposite direction in studies focusing on lifestyle interventions for weight loss. The present review summarizes available evidence from 21 studies comparing women with GDM with healthy participants and 12 intervention studies that investigated metabolite changes that occurred during weight loss using caloric restriction and behavioral interventions. We discuss 15 metabolites, including amino acids, lipids, amines, carbohydrates, and carbohydrate derivatives. Of particular note are the altered levels of branched-chain amino acids, alanine, palmitoleic acid, lysophosphatidylcholine 18:1, and hypoxanthine because of their mechanistic links to insulin resistance and weight change. Mechanisms that may explain how these metabolite modifications contribute to GDM development in those who are overweight or obese are proposed, including insulin resistance pathways. Future nutritional metabolomics preconception intervention studies in overweight or obese are necessary to investigate whether weight loss through lifestyle intervention can reduce GDM occurrence in association with these metabolite alterations and to test the value of these metabolites as potential diagnostic biomarkers of GDM development.

Previous studies have shown that following a healthy dietary pattern, like the Mediterranean diet (MD), might be an efficacious approach for the prevention and management of MetS during childhood. In the present study, we aimed to examine the effect of MD on inflammatory markers and components of MetS among adolescent girls with MetS. + + METHODS: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 70 girl adolescents with metabolic syndrome. Patients in the intervention group followed a prescribed MD, while participants in the control group received dietary advice according to the food pyramid. The length of intervention was 12 weeks. Participants ' dietary intakes were evaluated using three 1-day food records throughout the study. Anthropometric measures, inflammatory markers, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and hematological factors were assessed at the baseline and end of the trial. An intention-to-treat approach was taken into account for the statistical analysis. + + RESULTS: After 12 weeks, participants in the intervention group had lower weight (Ptime*group <= 0/001), body mass index (BMI) (Ptime*group <= 0/001), and waist circumference (WC) (Ptime*group <= 0/001) compared with those in the control group. In addition, MD resulted in a significantly reduced systolic blood pressure compared to the those in the control group (Ptime*group <= 0/001). In terms of metabolic variables, MD led to a significant decrease in fasting blood glucose (FBS) (Ptime*group <= 0/001), triglycerides (TG) (Ptime*group <= 0/001), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (Ptime*group <= 0/001), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (Ptime*group = 0/02) and a meaningful increase in serum levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (Ptime*group <= 0/001). In addition, adherence to the MD resulted in a significant reduction in serum levels of inflammatory markers including Interleukin 6 (IL-6) (Ptime*group = 0/02) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (Ptime*group = 0/02). However, no significant effect was seen on serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) (Ptime*group = 0/43). + + CONCLUSION: Overall, the findings of the present study revealed that consumption of MD for 12 weeks resulted in a favorable effect on anthropometric measures, components of MetS, as well as on some inflammatory biomarkers.

Body mass index (BMI) trajectories from birth to 18 years were tracked using repeated measures of BMI collected in physical examinations and via medical records, then used to predict age (months) and magnitude (kg/m2 ) of BMI peak and rebound. LTL was measured from cord blood via duplex quantitative PCR. A binary variable indicating LTL shorter than the reference population average was the primary exposure. + + RESULTS: LTL was unrelated to BMI at peak or rebound, but associations were apparent with the timing of BMI growth milestones. Short LTL was related to a later age of peak for females (beta = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.16, 1.82; psex interaction = 0.015) and an earlier age of rebound for both males and females (betacombined = -5.26, 95% CI = -9.44, -1.08). + + CONCLUSION: LTL at birth may be an early biomarker of altered adiposity growth. Newborn telomere biology may shed new insight into the developmental origins of health and disease.

Anthropometric and imaging approaches are primarily used to assess adiposity, and there is a dearth of techniques to determine the changes in adipose tissue (AT) at the molecular level. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a novel and less invasive source of biomarkers for various pathologies. Furthermore, the possibility of enriching cell or tissue-specific EVs from the biofluids based on their unique surface markers has led to classifying these vesicles as "liquid biopsies", offering valuable molecular information on hard-to-access tissues. Here, we isolated small EVs from AT (sEVAT) of lean and diet-induced obese (DIO) mice, identified unique surface proteins on sEVAT by surface shaving followed by mass spectrometry, and developed a signature of five unique proteins. Using this signature, we pulled out sEVAT from the blood of mice and validated the specificity of isolated sEVAT by measuring the expression of adiponectin, 38 adipokines on an array, and several adipose tissue-related miRNAs. Furthermore, we provided evidence of sEV applicability in disease prediction by characterizing sEVAT from the blood of lean and DIO mice. Interestingly, sEVAT-DIO cargo showed a stronger pro-inflammatory effect on THP1 monocytes compared to sEVAT-Lean and a significant increase in obesity-associated miRNA expression. Equally important, sEVAT cargo revealed an obesity-associated aberrant amino acid metabolism that was subsequently validated in the corresponding AT. Lastly, we show a significant increase in inflammation-related molecules in sEVAT isolated from the blood of nondiabetic obese (>30 kg/m2) individuals. Overall, the present study offers a less-invasive approach to characterize AT. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Cancer is frequently associated with cachexia, a systemic metabolic disease causing wasting. It is currently unclear how diabetes affects the development and progression of cachexia. + + METHODS: We investigated the interplay between diabetes and cancer cachexia retrospectively in a cohort of 345 patients with colorectal and pancreatic cancer. We recorded body weight, fat mass, muscle mass, clinical serum values, and survival of these patients. Patients were grouped either into diabetic/non-diabetic groups based on previous diagnosis, or into obese/non-obese groups based on body mass index (BMI >=30 kg/m2 was considered obese). + + RESULTS: The pre-existence of type 2 diabetes, but not obesity, in patients with cancer led to increased cachexia incidence (80%, compared to 61% without diabetes, p <= 0.05), higher weight loss (8.9% vs. 6.0%, p <= 0.001), and reduced survival probability (median survival days: 689 vs. 538, Chi square = 4.96, p <= 0.05) irrespective of the initial body weight or tumor progression. Patients with diabetes and cancer showed higher serum levels of C-reactive protein (0.919 mug/mL vs. 0.551 mug/mL, p <= 0.01) and interleukin 6 (5.98 pg/mL vs. 3.75 pg/mL, p <= 0.05) as well as lower serum albumin levels (3.98 g/dL vs. 4.18 g/dL, p <= 0.05) than patients with cancer without diabetes. In a sub-analysis of patients with pancreatic cancer, pre-existing diabetes worsened weight loss (9.95% vs. 6.93%, p <= 0.01), and increased the duration of hospitalization (24.41 days vs. 15.85 days, p <= 0.001). Further, diabetes aggravated clinical manifestations of cachexia, as changes in the aforementioned biomarkers were more pronounced in patients with diabetes and cachexia co-existence, compared to cachectic patients without diabetes (C-reactive protein: 2.300 mug/mL vs. 0.571 mug/mL, p <= 0.0001; hemoglobin: 11.24 g/dL vs. 12.52 g/dL, p <= 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: We show for the first time that pre-existing diabetes aggravates cachexia development in patients with colorectal and pancreatic cancer. This is important when considering cachexia biomarkers and weight management in patients with co-existing diabetes and cancer. Copyright © 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier GmbH..

New tools like bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) could help to determine when euvolaemia is reached. The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of BIA in management of heart failure (HF) in overweight and obese patients. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Our study is a single-centre, single-blind, randomized controlled trial that included 48 overweight and obese patients admitted for acute HF. The study population was randomized into two arms: BIA-guided group and standard care. Serum electrolytes, kidney function, and natriuretic peptides were followed up during their hospital stay and at 90 days after discharge. The primary endpoint was development of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) defined as an increase in serum creatinine by >0.5 mg/dL during hospitalization, and the main secondary endpoint was the reduction of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels during hospitalization and within 90 days after discharge. The BIA-guided group showed a remarkable lower incidence of severe AKI, although no significant differences were found (41.4% vs. 16.7%; P = 0.057). The proportion of patients who achieved levels of NT-proBNP < 1000 pg/mL at 90 days was significantly higher in the BIA-guided group than in the standard group (58.8% vs. 25%; P = 0.049). No differences were observed in the incidence of adverse outcomes at 90 days. + + CONCLUSIONS: Among overweight and obese patients with HF, BIA reduces NT-proBNP levels at 90 days compared with standard care. In addition, there is a trend towards lower incidence of AKI in the BIA-guided group. Although more studies are required, BIA could be a useful tool in decompensated HF management in overweight and obese patients. Copyright © 2023 The Authors.

Robustness of non-invasive test scores across characteristics of interest including age, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and sex, and optimised analytical aspects are critical for large-scale implementation in clinical practice. We developed and validated NIS2+ TM, an optimisation of NIS4 R, specifically designed to improve score robustness. + + METHODS: A well-balanced training cohort (n = 198) included patients from the GOLDEN-505 trial. The validation (n = 684) and test (n = 2,035) cohorts included patients from the RESOLVE-IT trial. Well-matched subgroups were created to avoid potential confounding effects during modelling and analysis of score robustness. Models were trained using logistic regressions for at-risk NASH detection and compared using Bayesian information criteria. Performance of NIS2+ TM was compared with that of NIS4 R, Fibrosis-4, and alanine aminotransferase using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, and robustness was analysed through score distribution. + + RESULTS: Using the training cohort to compare all combinations of NIS4 R biomarkers, NIS2 (miR-34a-5p, YKL-40) was identified as the best combination of parameters. To correct for the sex effect on miR-34a-5p (validation cohort), sex and sex * miR-34a-5p parameters were added, creating NIS2+ TM. In the test cohort, NIS2+ TM exhibited a statistically higher area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.813) vs. NIS4 R (0.792; p = 0.0002), Fibrosis-4 (0.653; p <0.0001), and alanine aminotransferase (0.699; p <0.0001). NIS2+ TM scores were not affected by age, sex, BMI, or type 2 diabetes mellitus status, providing robust clinical performances irrespective of patient characteristics. + + CONCLUSION: NIS2+ TM constitutes a robust optimisation of NIS4 R technology for the detection of at-risk NASH. + + IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS: The development of non-invasive tests for accurate, large-scale detection of patients with at-risk non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH; defined as NASH with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score >=4 and fibrosis stage >=2) - who are at higher risk for disease progression and for developing liver-related life-threatening outcomes - is critical for identifying this patient population in the clinical setting and improving the screening process of NASH clinical trials. We report the development and validation of NIS2+ TM, a diagnostic test designed as an optimisation of NIS4 R technology, a blood-based panel currently used to detect at-risk NASH in patients with metabolic risk factors. NIS2+ TM showed improved performance for the detection of at-risk NASH compared with NIS4 R and other non-invasive liver tests that was not impacted by patients' characteristics of interest, such as age, sex, type 2 diabetes mellitus, BMI, dyslipidaemia, and hypertension. This makes NIS2+ TM a robust and reliable tool for the diagnosis of at-risk NASH among patients with metabolic risk factors, and an effective candidate for large-scale implementation in clinical practice and clinical trials.

This study aimed to elucidate the significance of homocysteine as a biomarker for COVID-19 infection, and the relation of homocysteine with COVID-19 severity in obese people and diabetic patients. The study groups were 1- COVID-19 patients + Diabetic + Obese (CDO), 2- COVID-19 patients + Diabetic (CD), 3- COVID-19 patients + Obese (CO), 4- Healthy Group (HG). Serum levels of homocysteine, IL-6, D-dimer, vitamin B12, and folate were measured by a fully automated biochemistry device Cobas 6000 analyzer series. The mean serum concentration of homocysteine in the COD, CD, CO and H groups were 32.0114, 23.604, 19.4154, and 9.3206 umol/l respectively. The mean concentration of homocysteine levels between every two groups was statistically significant differences (P<0.05) except for the CD and the CO group (P=0.957). In the CDO group, the males have higher mean concentrations than females (P<0.05). The means of homocysteine concentrations in the CDO group among different age groups were different (P <0.001). The serum homocysteine level in the CDO group has a strong positive correlation (R=0.748) with D-dimer and a strong negative correlation (R= - 0.788) with serum folate, while its correlation with serum vitamin B12 is moderate negative (-0.499) and its correlation with serum IL-6 is weakly positive (R=0.376). The AUC value for homocysteine in predicting COVID-19 in the CDO group was 0.843, while 0.714 for the CD group, and 0.728 for the CO group. The serum homocysteine concentration test for all study groups was compared to the serum IL-6 test and the sensitivity was equal to 95% and its specificity was 67.5%. Serum homocysteine has potential predictive power in COVID-19 patients, and the severity of COVID-19 infection and the type of comorbidity is associated with higher sensitivity and specificity of homocysteine serological tests. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Biomarkers). 935E97BOY8 (Folic Acid). 0LVT1QZ0BA (Homocysteine).

A total of 210 food items were classified into 45 food groups, and the mean amount of each food group was used in RRR to derive dietary patterns (DPs) explaining the maximum shared variation in obesity-related indicators. The associations of DPs and its main food groups ( + + factor loading + + [Formula: see text] 0.2) with the incident CVD and all-cause mortality were examined by Cox model. In cross-sectional analyses, the associations of DP scores with cardiometabolic risk factors (biomarkers) were examined by linear regression. + + RESULTS: The derived DP was characterized by higher intakes of beer and cider, high-sugar beverages, processed meat, red meat, artificial sweetener, and crisps, chips and savory snacks, and lower intakes of olive oil, high fiber breakfast cereals, tea, and vegetable. Compared to the lowest dietary score quintile, those in the highest were associated with higher risks of total CVD (adjusted-HR: 1.45, 95% CI 1.33-1.57) and all-cause mortality (adjusted-HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.18-1.45). We observed consumption alone of these food groups had a consistent but limited health effect on total CVD and all-cause death incidence. These associations were modified by age and sex. Higher DP scores were related to adverse biomarkers profiles. + + CONCLUSIONS: We developed obesity-related DPs prospectively associated with increased risks of CVD and all-cause mortality.

We leveraged the PROMISE clinical trial with centrally adjudicated coronary computed tomography angiography imaging to determine relationships between adipose depots, BCAA dysregulation, and coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and Results The PROMISE (Prospective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of Chest Pain) trial randomized 10 003 outpatients with stable chest pain to computed tomography angiography versus standard-of-care diagnostics. For this study, we included 1798 participants with available computed tomography angiography data and biospecimens. Linear and logistic regression were used to determine associations between a molar sum of BCAAs measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy with body mass index, adipose traits, and obstructive CAD. Mendelian randomization was then used to determine if BCAAs are in the causal pathway for adipose depots or CAD. The study sample had a mean age of 60 years (SD, 8.0), body mass index of 30.6 (SD, 5.9), and epicardial adipose tissue volume of 57.3 (SD, 21.3) cm3/m2; 27% had HS, and 14% had obstructive CAD. BCAAs were associated with body mass index (multivariable beta 0.12 per SD increase in BCAA [95% CI, 0.08-0.17]; P=4x10-8). BCAAs were also associated with HS (multivariable odds ratio [OR], 1.46 per SD increase in BCAAs [95% CI, 1.28-1.67]; P=2x10-8), but BCAAs were associated only with epicardial adipose tissue volume (odds ratio, 1.18 [95% CI, 1.07-1.32]; P=0.002) and obstructive CAD (OR, 1.18 [95% CI, 1.04-1.34]; P=0.009) in univariable models. Two-sample Mendelian randomization did not support the role of BCAAs as within the causal pathways for HS or CAD. Conclusions BCAAs have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases, and adipose depots have been associated with the risk of CAD. Leveraging a large clinical trial, we further establish the role of dysregulated BCAA catabolism in HS and CAD, although BCAAs did not appear to be in the causal pathway of either disease. This suggests that BCAAs may serve as an independent circulating biomarker of HS and CAD but that their association with these cardiometabolic diseases is mediated through other pathways. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids, Branched-Chain). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Multicenter Study.

We combine diet, clinical and brain imaging data to investigate the relationship between the UPF consumption, depressive symptoms, and brain volumes in humans, considering interactions with obesity, and the mediation effect of inflammation biomarkers. + + METHODS: One-hundred fifty-two adults underwent diet, depressive symptoms, anatomic magnetic resonance imaging assessments and laboratory tests. Relationships between the % of UPF consumption (in grams) of the total diet, depressive symptoms, and gray matter brain volumes were explored using several adjusted regression models, and in interaction with the presence of obesity. Whether inflammatory biomarkers (i.e., white blood cell count, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, c-reactive protein) mediate the previous associations was investigated using R mediation package. + + RESULTS: High UPF consumption was associated with higher depressive symptoms in all participants (beta = 0.178, CI = 0.008-0.261) and in those with obesity (beta = 0.214, CI = -0.004-0.333). Higher consumption was also associated with lower volumes in the posterior cingulate cortex and the left amygdala, which in the participants with obesity also encompassed the left ventral putamen and the dorsal frontal cortex. White blood count levels mediated the association between UPF consumption and depressive symptoms (p = 0.022). + + LIMITATIONS: The present study precludes any causal conclusions. + + CONCLUSIONS: UPF consumption is associated with depressive symptoms and lower volumes within the mesocorticolimbic brain network implicated in reward processes and conflict monitoring. Associations were partially dependent on obesity and white blood cell count. Copyright © 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

In addition to programming the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, ELS may also affect the gut microbiota and metabolome, opening up a promising research direction for identifying early biomarkers of ELS-induced (mal)adaptation. Other factors affecting these parameters include maternal metabolic status and diet, with maternal obesity shown to predispose offspring to later metabolic disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the long-term effects of ELS and maternal obesity on the metabolic and stress phenotype of rodent offspring. To this end, offspring of both sexes were subjected to an adverse early-life experience, and their metabolic and stress phenotypes were examined. In addition, we assessed whether a prenatal maternal and an adult high-fat diet (HFD) stressor further shape observed ELS-induced phenotypes. We show that ELS has long-term effects on male body weight (BW) across the lifespan, whereas females more successfully counteract ELS-induced weight loss, possibly by adapting their microbiota, thereby stabilizing a balanced metabolome. Furthermore, the metabolic effects of a maternal HFD on BW are exclusively triggered by a dietary challenge in adult offspring and are more pronounced in males than in females. Overall, our study suggests that the female microbiota protects against an ELS challenge, rendering them more resilient to additional maternal- and adult nutritional stressors than males.

This warrants further investigation. + + METHODS: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning the years 1999-2018, with follow-up for mortality status until December 31, 2019. To categorize participants based on the TyG level, the optimal critical value was determined through restricted cubic spline function analysis, dividing them into high and low TyG groups. The study assessed the relationship between TyG and cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in young and middle-aged adults stratified by obesity status. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional risk models were used to analyze the data. + + RESULTS: During a follow-up period of 123 months, a high TyG index increased the risk of cardiovascular events by 63% (P = 0.040) and the risk of all-cause mortality by 32% (P = 0.010) in individuals after adjusting for all covariates. High TyG was shown to be linked to cardiovascular events in obese people (Model 3: HR = 2.42, 95% CI = 1.13-5.12, P = 0.020); however, there was no significant difference in TyG groups for nonobese adults in Model 3 (P = 0.08). + + CONCLUSIONS: TyG was independently associated with harmful long-term cardiovascular events in young and middle-aged US populations, with a stronger association observed in those who were obese.

Plasma cytokeratin-18 (CK-18) fragment levels correlate with the magnitude of hepatocyte apoptosis and have recently been proposed to independently predict the presence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The aim of the study was to analyze the associations of CK-18 with obesity and related complications: insulin resistance, impaired lipid metabolism and the secretion of hepatokines, adipokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The study involved 151 overweight and obese patients (BMI 25-40), without diabetes, dyslipidemia or apparent liver disease. Liver function was assessed based on alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and the fatty liver index (FLI). CK-18 M30 plasma levels, FGF-21, FGF-19 and cytokines were determined by ELISA. CK-18 values >150 U/l were accompanied by high ALT, GGT and FLI, insulin resistance, postprandial hypertriglyceridemia, elevated FGF-21 and MCP-1 and decreased adiponectin. ALT activity was the strongest independent factor influencing high CK-18 plasma levels, even after an adjustment for age, sex and BMI [beta coefficient (95%CI): 0.40 (0.19-0.61)]. In conclusion, the applied CK-18 cut-off point at 150 U/l allows to distinguish between two metabolic phenotypes in obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Keratin-18). 0 (Biomarkers).

The diagnosis of atherosclerosis in the context of a high body mass index (BMI) can be challenging, making the identification of biomarkers clinically relevant. We aimed to assess the usefulness of irisin as a biomarker for subclinical atherosclerosis in participants with SO. This prospective observational study included 61 participants undergoing bariatric surgery for SO, defined as a BMI >40 kg/m2 or >35 kg/m2 with at least one comorbidity. Atherosclerotic plaques were detected by ultrasound. Plasma samples were obtained 1 month before and at 6 and 12 months after bariatric surgery to measure irisin by ELISA. Additionally, subcutaneous samples of adipose tissue were taken and genotyped to identify irisin polymorphism rs3480. Irisin levels were positively correlated with BMI (r = 0.23, p = 0.0064), negatively correlated with atheroma-related parameters (e.g., carotid intima-media thickness), and lower in subjects with atheroma (p < 0.0002). Irisin also showed good overall accuracy for discriminating plaque presence (AUC, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.6956-0.9156). However, the rs3480 polymorphism correlated with neither the irisin levels nor the presence of atheromas. Iirisin could identify subclinical atherosclerosis in SO and might facilitate clinical diagnosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Fibronectins). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Observational Study.

The study is comprised of a total of 452 young women, including 248 obese individuals and 204 controls. Circulating HHIP and Adipoq levels were determined with ELISA kits. Euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamps (EHC) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were conducted in every subject. 32 women were given metformin and 49 were given liraglutide treatment for 6 weeks. The study was registered with www.chictr.org.cn (ChiCTR2000032878 and ChiCTR1800019776). + + RESULTS: Obesity was significantly associated with the cAMP signal pathway, and HHIP was a secreted protein related to cAMP signalling, as determined by KEGG analysis. In this population-based cohort study, we found that the level of circulating HHIP was significantly elevated in obese women, and positively correlated with body mass index and blood glucose, blood lipid, insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, dehydroepiandrostenedione sulphate, and luteinizing hormone, while negatively correlated with M-value and Adipoq. Insulin resistance (IR) and ove TMrweight/obesity were associated with the higher HHIP concentration. OGTT and EHC tests revealed that the levels of circulating HHIP were regulated by blood glucose but to a less extent by insulin. After therapy with metformin and liraglutide, circulating HHIP levels were decreased, whereas Adipoq levels increased significantly. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support HHIP as a potential biomarker for predicting obesity and IR.

The answer could lie on the involvement of gastrointestinal factors, such as adipokines (e.g., leptin, adiponectin, and resistin) and ghrelin. In this context, we conducted a pre-registered systematic review and meta-analysis of 42 cross-sectional and 13 longitudinal studies targeting the associations between leptin, adiponectin, resistin, and ghrelin and the prevalence of general dementia, AD, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We also examined the relationship between the four gastrointestinal factors and neurocognitive outcomes and AD-related cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. Patients with AD had lower blood leptin and higher resistin levels than cognitively normal participants. Lower leptin and higher resistin were associated with higher degree of cognitive impairment. Additionally, lower late-life leptin levels might be associated with higher prospective risk of dementia and AD, although more studies are needed to corroborate this. Results in ghrelin and adiponectin were not conclusive, with age, sex distribution, obesity, and severity of dementia seemingly acting as moderators across several analyses. Our work might contribute to the identification of new preclinical blood markers of MCI and AD. Copyright © 2023 The Authors.

Polyphenols are a complex group of plant secondary metabolites that may play a role in reducing the risk of obesity and obesity-related diseases. Given the scarcity of evidence on the association between inflammatory markers and dietary polyphenols intake in overweight/obese Iranian women, the current study aims to investigate this link. + + METHOD: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 391 overweight and obese Iranian women aged 18-48 years (body mass index (BMI) >= 25 kg/m2). A 147-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess dietary intake, as well as anthropometric indices including weight, height, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC) and biochemistry parameters including triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (Chole), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), galactin-3 (Gal-3), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), interleukin-1 beta (IL_1beta), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PA-I), serum leptin concentrations, and C-reactive protein of high sensitivity (hs-CRP) in all participants. The inflammatory markers were assessed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). + + RESULT: The findings revealed a significant negative association between flavonoids intake and MCP-1 (P = 0.024), lignans intake and MCP-1 (P = 0.017), and Gal-3 (P = 0.032). These significant associations were observed between other polyphenols intake and IL_1beta (P = 0.014). There was also a significant positive association between other polyphenol intake and TGF-beta (P = 0.008) and between phenolic acid intake and TGF-beta (P = 0.014). + + CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that a high polyphenol intake may help individuals to reduce systemic inflammation. Further large studies involving participants of different ages and genders are highly warranted. Copyright © 2023.

Available therapies primarily suppress energy intake but often fail to produce sustained fat loss, necessitating a more efficacious strategy to combat obesity. In this study, a polyherbal formulation, Divya-WeightGo (DWG) has been investigated for its anti-obesity activity using in-vitro and in-vivo assays. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) analysis revealed the presence of phytocompounds including gallic acid, methyl gallate, corilagin, ellagic acid, pentagalloyl glucose, withaferin A and hydroxycitric acid, proven to aid in weight loss. The exposure of 3T3-L1 cells to DWG at cytosafe concentrations inhibited lipid and triglyceride accumulation and downregulated the expression of several adipogenic and lipogenic markers like PPARy, C/EBPalpha, C/EBPbeta, SREBP-1c, FASN and DGAT1. DWG reduced LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine release and NF-kappaB activity in THP-1 cells. The in-vivo anti-obesity activity of DWG, both alone and in combination with moderate aerobic exercise, was assessed in a high fat diet-induced obese mouse model. DWG mitigated the obesity associated increased body weight gain, feed efficiency ratio, glucose intolerance, diminished insulin sensitivity, dyslipidemia, altered liver function profile, lipid accumulation and adiposopathy in obese mice, alone as well as in combination intervention, with better efficacy in the combination approach. Thus, the findings of this study suggest that DWG could be a promising therapeutic avenue to treat obesity through attenuation of lipid and fat accumulation in liver and adipose tissues and could be utilized as an adjunct with lifestyle interventions to combat obesity and associated complications.

We investigated whether BMI interacts with biomarkers' association with prognosis in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). + + METHODS AND RESULTS: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), galectin-3, serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (sNGAL), and urine NGAL were measured serially in patients with AHF during hospitalization in the AKINESIS (Acute Kidney Injury Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin Evaluation of Symptomatic Heart Failure) study. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the association of biomarkers and their interaction with BMI for 30-day, 90-day and 1-year composite outcomes of death or HF readmission. Among 866 patients, 21.2%, 29.7% and 46.8% had normal (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25-29.9 kg/m2) or obese (>= 30 kg/m2) BMIs on admission, respectively. Admission values of BNP and hs-cTnI were negatively associated with BMI, whereas galectin-3 and sNGAL were positively associated with BMI. Admission BNP and hs-cTnI levels were associated with the composite outcome within 30 days, 90 days and 1 year. Only BNP had a significant interaction with BMI. When BNP was analyzed by BMI category, its association with the composite outcome attenuated at higher BMIs and was no longer significant in obese individuals. Findings were similar when evaluated by the last-measured biomarkers and BMIs. + + CONCLUSIONS: In patients with AHF, only BNP had a significant interaction with BMI for the outcomes, with its association attenuating as BMI increased; hs-cTnI was prognostic, regardless of BMI.

Egyptians implement the aerial parts in the treatment of respiratory, digestive and sexual dysfunctions. However, the mechanism by which Artemisia annua improves testicular function is still being discovered. + + AIM OF THE STUDY: This study aimed to evaluate the modulatory effects of the crude leaf extract of Artemisia annua (AAE) on a high-fat diet induced testicular dysfunction in rats and compare it with the antilipolytic drug Orlistat. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty adult rats were randomly classified and assigned to four groups. The first group typically consumed a balanced diet and served as a negative control (GP1). A high-fat diet-induced obesity was applied to the other three groups for 12 weeks. A positive control remained on HFD for another 8 weeks, which is GP2. Other groups were administered for 8 consecutive weeks either with Orlistat (50 mg/kg body weight) or AAE (100 mg/kg body weight), which have been defined as GP3 and GP4, respectively. Testosterone (TST), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) were determined in the sera of all groups. In addition, the oxidant/antioxidant biomarkers such as protein carbonyl, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activities, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase isoenzyme-B (CK-MB) were determined. An immunohistochemical stain with the apoptotic marker caspase-3 and the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were also investigated. + + RESULTS: In the testes of the obese group, the results showed hormonal imbalance, an increase in oxidative stress biomarkers and apoptosis. In the group treated with orlistat (GP3), noticeably more perturbations were noted. The obese rats that had been treated with AAE (GP4) showed a significantly reduced level of oxidative stress, hormonal balance restoration and reduced apoptosis. + + CONCLUSIONS: The crude leaf extract of A. annua is a potential herbal therapeutic for the treatment of obesity-related testicular dysfunction and the restoration of hormonal imbalance in obese rats.

We assessed the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of adiposity measures (body mass index, waist-hip ratio, waist circumference and fat mass ratio) with plasma concentrations of kynurenine pathway metabolites and traditional markers of inflammation. + + METHODS: We used data from 970 Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study participants who had plasma markers measured at baseline (median age 59 years) and follow-up (median age 70 years). Linear regression was used to assess cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between four adiposity measures and concentrations of i) nine kynurenine pathway metabolites; ii) two derived markers; iii) eight traditional inflammatory markers. + + RESULTS: Cross-sectionally, most kynurenine metabolites were strongly associated with adiposity measures at both time points; associations were generally stronger than for most inflammation markers except CRP (e.g. body mass index at baseline, quinolinic acid (per S.D. beta = 0.30, 95%CI: 0.24-0.36, P = 10-21), kynurenine (beta = 0.25, 95%CI: 0.19-0.31, P = 10-16) and CRP (beta = 0.31, 95%CI: 0.25-0.37, P = 10-24), and remained largely unchanged after adjustment for confounders. Longitudinally, changes in adiposity measures over approximately a decade were positively associated with changes in kynurenine metabolite concentrations (in particular for 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, kynurenine and quinolinic acid), and more strongly so than for other markers of inflammation, including CRP. + + CONCLUSIONS: In middle-aged and older adults, plasma concentrations of kynurenine metabolites are strongly associated with adiposity, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Our study demonstrates that kynurenine metabolites may be valuable markers to monitor the adverse consequences of obesity. Copyright © 2023.

In Mexico, excess body weight is a public health concern due to the high prevalence of OW and OB. In the last few years, evidence has linked oxidative stress (OS) to excess body weight. It is necessary to understand this relationship to generate strategies for the prevention of OW and OB in the Mexican population. This systematic review focuses on identifying differences in OS biomarkers in the Mexican population with excess body weight in comparison to the population with normal body weight. Methods: A systematic review was performed. The studies were identified through the MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Scielo, and Liliacs online databases, and the gray literature in Google Scholar. The key words used were "overweight," "obesity," "Mexico," and "oxidative stress." Results: Four studies were selected; the studies were performed in rural and urban areas of Mexico. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) were the OS biomarkers that were increased in the population with excess body weight compared to subjects with normal body weight. Conclusion: According to the included studies, MDA and LDL-ox increased significantly, while the increase in the levels of circulating lipids was enhanced by the excess adipose tissue present in individuals with OW and OB. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Systematic Review.

Dietary data were obtained from an FFQ. An empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP) was derived from reduced rank regression models that explained the serum high-sensitivity CRP, plasma IL-6, and TNF receptor 1. Cross-sectional associations between dietary scores and biomarkers of total cholesterol (TC); HDL cholesterol; LDL cholesterol; TG; and ratios of TG/HDL cholesterol, TG/TC, fasting glucose, insulin, and HbA1c were analyzed via multiple linear regression and adjusted for major confounders. The false-discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Abdominal obesity was defined as a waist circumference of >=90 cm for men and >=80 cm for women. + + RESULTS: Higher EDIP-HALST scores were associated with higher TG (per score increment: 1.62%, 95% CI: 0.58%, 2.76%; PFDR = 0.01), TG/HDL cholesterol (2.01%, 95% CI: 0.67%, 3.37%; PFDR = 0.01), and TG/TC (1.42%, 95% CI: 0.41%, 2.43%; PFDR = 0.01) and nonlinearly associated with insulin, with those in the middle tertile had the highest serum insulin concentrations (means: 5.12 muIU/mL, 95% CI: 4.78, 5.78; PFDR = 0.04) in men, but not in women. No heterogeneity was detected between sexes. The associations with TG (1.23%, 95% CI: 0.19, 2.23%; Ptrend = 0.02), TG/HDL cholesterol (1.62%, 95% CI: 0.30%, 2.96%; Ptrend = 0.02), and TG/TC (1.11%, 95% CI: 0.11%, 2.13%; Ptrend = 0.03) were stronger in participants with abdominal obesity, but were borderline associated in participants with normal abdominal circumferences (all Ptrend = 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Inflammatory diets, as measured via EDIP-HALST, are associated with serum TG concentration, particularly in participants with abdominal obesity. These findings may suggest that developing disease prevention strategies using dietary inflammatory patterns may be different by populations. J Nutr 20xx;x:xx. Copyright © 2023 The Authors.

However, it is still unclear whether a proportion of obese individuals without metabolic alterations associated with obesity, defined as "metabolically healthy obesity (MHO)", exhibit better endothelial function. We therefore aimed to investigate the association of different metabolic obesity phenotypes with endothelial dysfunction. + + METHODS: The obese participants without clinical cardiovascular disease from the MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) were allocated to the different metabolic obesity phenotypes based on their metabolic status, including MHO and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO). Associations of metabolic obesity phenotypes with the biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction, including soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin), were evaluated using multiple linear regression models. + + RESULTS: Plasma levels of sICAM-1 and sE-selectin were respectively measured in 2371 and 968 participants. Compared to the non-obese participants, those with MUO were associated with higher concentrations of sICAM-1 (beta 22.04, 95% CI 14.33-29.75, P < 0.001) and sE-selectin (beta 9.87, 95% CI 6.00-13.75, P < 0.001) after adjusting for confounders. However, no differences were found for the concentrations of sICAM-1 (beta 0.70, 95% CI - 8.91 to 10.32, P = 0.886) and sE-selectin (beta 3.69, 95% CI - 1.13 to 8.51, P = 0.133) in the participants with MHO compared to the non-obese participants. + + CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with MUO were associated with elevated biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction, but the association with endothelial dysfunction was not found in those with MHO, indicating that the individuals with MHO might exhibit better endothelial function.

Studies show that plasma amyloid-beta (Abeta) dyshomeostasis, particularly low 42/40 ratio indicates a heightened risk for developing AD. However, the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and circulating plasma Abeta has not been extensively studied. + + OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that people with a high BMI have altered plasma Abeta homeostasis compared with people with a lower BMI. We also tested whether reducing BMI by calorie-restriction could normalize plasma concentrations of Abeta. + + METHODS: Plasma concentrations of Abeta40, Abeta42, and Abeta42/40 ratio were measured in 106 participants with BMIs classified as lean, overweight, or obese. From this cohort, twelve participants with overweight or obese BMIs entered a 12-week calorie-restriction weight loss program. We then tested whether decreasing BMI affected plasma Abeta concentrations. + + RESULTS: Plasma Abeta42/40 ratio was 17.54% lower in participants with an obese BMI compared to lean participants (p < 0.0001), and 11.76% lower compared to participants with an overweight BMI (p < 0.0001). The weight loss regimen decreased BMI by an average of 4.02% (p = 0.0005) and was associated with a 6.5% decrease in plasma Abeta40 (p = 0.0425). However, weight loss showed negligible correlations with plasma Abeta40, Abeta42, and Abeta42/40 ratio. + + CONCLUSION: Obesity is associated with aberrant plasma Abeta homeostasis which may be associated with an increased risk for AD. Weight loss appears to lower Abeta40, but large-scale longitudinal studies in addition to molecular studies are required to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of how obesity and weight loss influence plasma Abeta homeostasis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amyloid beta-Peptides). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Fragments). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim of this systematic review is to investigate and summarize the current evidence towards the associations between PAHs exposure and risk of obesity. We conducted a systematic search of online databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science up to April 28, 2022. Eight cross-sectional studies with data from 68,454 participants were included. The present study illustrated that there was a significant positive association between naphthalene (NAP), phenanthrene (PHEN), and total OH-PAH metabolites and risk of obesity, the pooled OR (95% CI) was estimated at 1.43 (1.07, 1.90), 1.54 (1.18, 2.02), and 2.29 (1.32, 3.99), respectively. However, there was no significant association between fluorene (FLUO) and1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) metabolite and risk of obesity. Subgroup analyses showed that associations between PAHs exposure and risk of obesity were more apparent in children, female, smokers and developing regions. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.

Obesity, which is directly associated with an increased incidence of OA, alters adipokine release, increases pro-inflammatory macrophage activity, and affects joint immune regulation. Studying inflammatory macrophage expression and strategies to inhibit inflammatory macrophage phenotype polarization might provide insights into disease pathogenesis and therapeutic applications. In pre-clinical studies, the detection of OA in its initial stages was shown to be possible using imaging techniques such as SPECT-CT, and advances are made to detect OA through blood-based biomarker analysis. In this review, obesity-induced osteoarthritis and its mechanisms in inducing joint degeneration are summarized, along with an analysis of the current developments in patient imaging and biomarker use for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Statistical analysis was conducted using the SPSS program. There were high values of GPx and TBARS and reduced values of SOD in women with obesity compared to the control group. Obese women showed increased concentrations of cortisol in serum and urine as well as hypozincemia, hyposelenemia, and hypomagnesemia and increased urinary excretion of these minerals. There was a negative correlation between the cortisol/cortisone ratio and erythrocyte zinc and selenium concentrations and a significant positive correlation between GPx and SOD activity and erythrocyte and plasma concentrations of zinc and selenium. The results of the study suggest the influence of adiposity on the increase in cortisol concentrations and the role of this hormone in the compartmentalization of the minerals zinc, selenium, and magnesium. However, the association study does not allow identifying the impact of such action on the antioxidant defense system and insulin sensitivity. Copyright © 2023.

COVID-19 at high altitude seems to be associated with increased rate of ICU discharge and hospital survival than at sea-level, despite higher immune levels and inflammation. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the survival rate of critically ill obese patients with COVID-19 at altitude in comparison with overweight and normal patients. Secondary aims were to assess the predictive factors for mortality, characteristics of mechanical ventilation setting, extubation rates, and analytical parameters. + + METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study in critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to a hospital in Quito-Ecuador (2,850 m) from Apr 1, 2020, to Nov 1, 2021. Patients were cathegorized as normal weight, overweight, and obese, according to body mass index [BMI]). + + RESULTS: In the final analysis 340 patients were included, of whom 154 (45%) were obese, of these 35 (22.7%) were hypertensive and 25 (16.2%) were diabetic. Mortality in obese patients (31%) was lower than in the normal weight (48%) and overweight (40%) groups, but not statistically significant (p = 0.076). At multivariable analysis, in the overall population, older age (> 50 years) was independent risk factor for mortality (B = 0.93, Wald = 14.94, OR = 2.54 95%CI = 1.58-4.07, p < 0.001). Ferritin and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were independent predictors of mortality in obese patients. Overweight and obese patients required more positive and-expiratory pressure compared to normal-weight patients. In obese patients, plateau pressure and mechanical power were significantly higher, whereas extubation failure was lower as compared to overweight and normal weight. + + CONCLUSIONS: This preliminary study suggests that BMI was not associated with mortality in critically ill patients at high altitude. Age was associated with an increase in mortality independent of the BMI. Biomarkers such as ferritin and neutrophils/lymphocytes ratio were independent predictors of mortality in obese patients with COVID-19 at high altitude. Copyright © 2023.

Although regular exercise may contribute to disease prevention and health promotion, reliable early biomarkers are required to objectively discern people performing low PA from those who exercise enough. Here, we aimed to identify potential transcript-based biomarkers through the analysis of a whole-genome microarray in peripheral blood cells (PBC) from physically less active (n = 10) comparing with more active (n = 10) children. A set of genes differentially expressed (p < 0.01, Limma test) in less physically active children were identified, including the down-regulation of genes related to cardiometabolic benefits and improved skeletal function (KLB, NOX4, and SYPL2), and the up-regulation of genes whose elevated expression levels are associated with metabolic complications (IRX5, UBD, and MGP). The analysis of the enriched pathways significantly affected by PA levels were those associated with protein catabolism, skeletal morphogenesis, and wound healing, among others, which may suggest a differential impact of low PA on these processes. Microarray analysis comparing children according to their usual PA has revealed potential PBC transcript-based biomarkers that may be useful in early discerning children expending high sedentary time and its associated negative consequences.

In this chapter, emerging scientific evidence supporting the strong relationship between changes in DNA methylation and those diseases' development was summarized. Changing in the expression level of diabetes/obesity-related genes through being silenced by methylation can be the underlying mechanism of this phenomenon. Genes with abnormal methylation status are potential biomarkers for early prediction and diagnosis. Moreover, methylation-based molecular targets should be investigated as a new treatment for both T2D and obesity. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

Rapid infant weight gain, defined as a >0.67 increase in weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) between two time points in infancy, increases obesity risk. Higher oxidative stress, an imbalance between antioxidants and reactive oxygen species, has been associated with low birthweight and paradoxically also with later obesity. We hypothesized that prenatal oxidative stress may also be associated with rapid infant weight gain, an early weight pattern associated with future obesity. + + METHODS: Within the NYU Children's Health and Environment Study prospective pregnancy cohort, we analyzed associations between prenatal lipid, protein, and DNA urinary oxidative stress biomarkers and infant weight data. Primary outcome was rapid infant weight gain (>0.67 increase in WAZ) between birth and later infancy at the 8 or 12 month visit. Secondary outcomes included: very rapid weight gain (>1.34 increase in WAZ), low (<2500 g) or high (>=4000 g) birthweight, and low (< -1 WAZ) or high (>1 WAZ) 12 month weight. + + RESULTS: Pregnant participants consented to the postnatal study (n = 541); 425 participants had weight data both at birth and in later infancy. In an adjusted binary model, prenatal 8-iso-PGF2alpha, a lipid oxidative stress biomarker, was associated with rapid infant weight gain (aOR 1.44; 95% CI: 1.16, 1.78, p = 0.001). In a multinomial model using <=0.67 change in WAZ as a reference group, 8-iso-PGF2alpha was associated with rapid infant weight gain (defined as >0.67 but <=1.34 WAZ; aOR 1.57, 95% CI: 1.19, 2.05, p = 0.001) and very rapid infant weight gain (defined as >1.34 WAZ; aOR 1.33; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.72, p < 0.05) Secondary analyses detected associations between 8-iso-PGF2alpha and low birthweight outcomes. + + CONCLUSIONS: We found an association between 8-iso-PGF2alpha, a lipid prenatal oxidative stress biomarker, and rapid infant weight gain, expanding our understanding of the developmental origins of obesity and cardiometabolic disease.

Current research suggests that blood biomarkers may mediate this body-brain crosstalk, altering neurometabolism and brain structure eventually resulting in cognitive performance changes. Seventy-four older adults (60-85 years old) underwent bio-impedance body composition analysis, handgrip strength measurements, 8-Foot Up-and-Go (8UG) test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), blood analysis of interleukin-6 (IL-6), kynurenine, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), as well as brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS), estimating neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. Normal fat% or overweight was associated with larger total gray matter volume compared to underweight or obesity in older adults and obesity was associated with higher N-acetylaspartate/Creatine levels in the sensorimotor and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Muscle strength, not muscle mass/physical performance, corresponded to lower kynurenine and higher N-acetylaspartate/Creatine levels in the dorsal posterior cingulate and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. The inflammatory and neurotrophic blood biomarkers did not significantly mediate these body-brain associations. This study used a multimodal approach to comprehensively assess the proposed mechanism of body-brain crosstalk. Copyright © 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.

The disease is characterized by degradation of cartilage and other joint tissues, and low-grade inflammation which may result in pain, reduced function, and disability. The disease appears to have ancient origins, with findings of OA recognized in fossilized bones from birdlike dinosaurs living some 130 million years ago. Today, the burden of OA in the world's population is steadily increasing due to aging and often rising rates of obesity. Structural findings, indicative of the disease, are also frequent in asymptomatic persons, which make the distinction between disease and normal aging sometimes challenging. OA is frequently associated with comorbidity in the form of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and depressive symptoms. The current management and treatments largely rely on contextual factors, and the actual effects of the intended therapeutic element of today's interventions are minor. The different mechanistic pathways (endotypes) and clinical characteristics (phenotypes) of OA make the development of disease-modifying treatments challenging. Current development of drug candidates, aimed to restore joint homeostasis, is mainly targeting either inhibition of catabolic factors or stimulation of anabolic factors. However, there is yet no breakthrough in stage III clinical trials. Earlier diagnosis, better knowledge of endotypes-for example, by new insights into soluble biomarkers, and compositional imaging-and more careful selection of patients into clinical trials are possible tools to aid development of future therapies.

Several studies have demonstrated an inverse association between body mass index (BMI) and GA, which may affect its performance as a biomarker of hyperglycemia. We investigated cross-sectional associations between GA and multiple measures of adiposity, and compared its performance as a glycemic biomarker by obesity status, in a nationally representative sample of US adults. + + METHODS: We measured GA in adults from the 1999-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Separately in adults with and without diabetes, we assessed associations of GA with adiposity measures (BMI, waist circumference, trunk fat, total body fat, and fat mass index) in sex-stratified multivariable regression models. We compared sensitivity and specificity of GA to identify elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), by obesity status. + + RESULTS: In covariate-adjusted regression models, all adiposity measures were inversely associated with GA in adults without diabetes (beta=-0.48 to -0.22%-point GA per 1 SD adiposity measure; n = 9750) and with diabetes (beta=-1.73 to -0.92%-point GA per SD). Comparing adults with vs without obesity, GA exhibited lower sensitivity (43% vs 54%) with equivalent specificity (99%) to detect undiagnosed diabetes (HbA1c >= 6.5%). Among adults with diagnosed diabetes (n = 1085), GA performed well to identify above-target glycemia (HbA1c >= 7.0%), with high specificity (>80%) overall but lower sensitivity in those with vs without obesity (81% vs 93%). + + CONCLUSIONS: Inverse associations between GA and adiposity were present in people with and without diabetes. GA is highly specific but may not be sufficiently sensitive for diabetes screening in adults with obesity. Copyright © American Association for Clinical Chemistry 2023. All rights reserved.

This milieu favors the secretion of cytokines and adipokines, contributing to AT dysfunction (ATD) and metabolic dysregulation. Numerous articles link specific changes in the gut microbiota (GM) to the development of obesity and its associated disorders, highlighting the role of diet, particularly fatty acid composition, in modulating the taxonomic profile. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of a medium-fat-content diet (11%) supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids (D2) on the development of obesity, and on the composition of the GM compared with a control diet with a low fat content (4%) (D1) over a 6-month period. The effect of omega-3 supplementation on metabolic parameters and the modulation of the immunological microenvironment in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) was also evaluated. Six-weeks-old mice were adapted for two weeks and then divided into two groups of eight mice each: a control group D1 and the experimental group D2. Their body weight was recorded at 0, 4, 12, and 24 weeks post-differential feeding and stool samples were simultaneously collected to determine the GM composition. Four mice per group were sacrificed on week 24 and their VAT was taken to determine the immune cells phenotypes (M1 or M2 macrophages) and inflammatory biomarkers. Blood samples were used to determine the glucose, total LDL and HDL cholesterol LDL, HDL and total cholesterol, triglycerides, liver enzymes, leptin, and adiponectin. Body weight measurement showed significant differences at 4 (D1 = 32.0 +/- 2.0 g vs. D2 = 36.2 +/- 4.5 g, p-value = 0.0339), 12 (D1 = 35.7 +/- 4.1 g vs. D2 = 45.3 +/- 4.9 g, p-value = 0.0009), and 24 weeks (D1 = 37.5 +/- 4.7 g vs. D2 = 47.9 +/- 4.7, p-value = 0.0009). The effects of diet on the GM composition changed over time: in the first 12 weeks, alpha and beta diversity differed considerably according to diet and weight increase. In contrast, at 24 weeks, the composition, although still different between groups D1 and D2, showed changes compared with previous samples, suggesting the beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids in D2. With regard to metabolic analysis, the results did not reveal relevant changes in biomarkers in accordance with AT studies showing an anti-inflammatory environment and conserved structure and function, which is in contrast to reported findings for pathogenic obesity. In conclusion, the results suggest that the constant and sustained administration of omega-3 fatty acids induced specific changes in GM composition, mainly with increases in Lactobacillus and Ligilactobacillus species, which, in turn, modulated the immune metabolic response of AT in this mouse model of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Fatty Acids, Omega-3). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med23&DO=10.3390%2fnu15061404 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Portela&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Omega-3-Supplemented+Fat+Diet+Drives+Immune+Metabolic+Response+in+Visceral+Adipose+Tissue+by+Modulating+Gut+Microbiota+in+a+Mouse+Model+of+Obesity.&volume=15&issue=6&spage=&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.3390%2Fnu15061404&pmid=36986134&sid=OVID:medline + +<280> +Unique Identifier + 36982669 +Title + Impact of Obesity on the IL-6 Immune Marker and Th17 Immune Cells in C57BL/6 Mice Models with Imiquimod-Induced Psoriasis. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 24(6), 2023 Mar 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Park SH; Lee KA; Choi JH; Park S; Kim DW; Jung SY +Author NameID + Park, So Hee; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9600-799X + Lee, Kyung Ah; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3131-1253 + Jung, So Young; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0155-5473 +Authors Full Name + Park, So Hee; Lee, Kyung Ah; Choi, Jae-Hyeog; Park, SaeGwang; Kim, Dae-Wook; Jung, So Young. +Institution + Park, So Hee.

It has been proposed that proinflammatory cytokines produced by adipose tissue exacerbate psoriasis; however, the role of obesity in psoriasis remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the role of obesity in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, focusing on immunological changes. To induce obesity, mice were fed a high-fat diet for 20 weeks. We then applied imiquimod to the skin on a mouse's back for seven consecutive days to induce psoriasis and scored lesion severity every day for seven days. Cytokine levels in serum and the Th17 cell population in the spleen and draining lymph nodes were studied to identify immunological differences. The clinical severity was more remarkable, and histologically the epidermis was also significantly thicker in the obese group. Increased levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha were observed in serum after psoriasis. They were elevated to a greater degree, with greater expansion of the functional Th17 cell population in the obese group. It is concluded that obesity could exacerbate psoriasis through mechanisms that involve elevated proinflammatory cytokine secretion and an expanded Th17 cell population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + P1QW714R7M (Imiquimod). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med23&DO=10.3390%2fijms24065592 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Park&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Impact+of+Obesity+on+the+IL-6+Immune+Marker+and+Th17+Immune+Cells+in+C57BL%2F6+Mice+Models+with+Imiquimod-Induced+Psoriasis.&volume=24&issue=6&spage=5592&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.3390%2Fijms24065592&pmid=36982669&sid=OVID:medline + +<281> +Unique Identifier + 36973700 +Title + Dietary choline and betaine intake, cardio-metabolic risk factors and prevalence of metabolic syndrome among overweight and obese adults. +Source + BMC Endocrine Disorders. 23(1):67, 2023 Mar 27. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Abbasi MSP; Tousi AZ; Yazdani Y; Vahdat S; Gharebakhshi F; Nikrad N; Manzouri A; Ardekani AM; Jafarzadeh F +Authors Full Name + Abbasi, Mohammad Sadegh Pour; Tousi, Ayda Zahiri; Yazdani, Yalda; Vahdat, Sahar; Gharebakhshi, Farshad; Nikrad, Negin; Manzouri, Ali; Ardekani, Abnoos Mokhtari; Jafarzadeh, Faria. +Institution + Abbasi, Mohammad Sadegh Pour.

There are numerous studies with inconsistent results that evaluated the association between dietary choline intakes with cardiovascular risk factors. In addition, the association between dietary betaine and choline intakes with cardio-metabolic risk factors is not well studied. In the current study, our aim was to evaluate dietary choline and betaine intakes in the usual diet of obese individuals and to assess its association with serum lipids, blood pressure and glycemic markers among obese individuals. + + METHODS: We recruited a total number of 359 obese people aged between 20 and 50 years in the present study. A semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used for dietary assessment; dietary choline and betaine intakes were calculated using the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) database. National cholesterol education program adult treatment panel (NCEP-ATP)-III criteria was used metabolic syndrome (MetS) definition. Enzymatic methods were used to assess biochemical variables. Body composition was measured with the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method. + + RESULTS: Higher body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), fat-free mass (FFM) and basal metabolic rate (BMR) were observed in higher tertiles of dietary choline intake (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in terms of biochemical parameters among different tertiles of dietary choline intake, while systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were reduced in higher betaine tertiles (P < 0.05). For total dietary choline and betaine intakes, there was a reduction in DBP and low density lipoprotein (LDL) concentrations (P < 0.05). Also, a non-significant reduction in serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and MetS prevalence was observed in higher tertiles of dietary choline and betaine intakes. After classification of the study population according to MetS status, there was no significant difference in biochemical variables in subjects with MetS (P > 0.05), while in the non-MetS group, SBP, DBP, TG and insulin levels reduced in higher tertiles of dietary betaine and choline (P > 0.05). + + CONCLUSION: According to our findings, higher dietary intakes of choline and betaine were associated with lower levels of blood pressure and LDL concentrations among obese individuals. Further studies are warranted to confirm the results of the current study. Copyright © 2023. The Author(s). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 3SCV180C9W (Betaine). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol).

In the present study, the metabolic effects of seafood-derived Pls on high fat diet (HFD)-induced hyperlipidemia in zebrafish were evaluated, and the underlying mechanisms of dietary Pls against hyperlipidemia were explored through integrated analyses of hepatic transcriptomics and metabolomics. The results demonstrated that Pls supplementation could effectively alleviate HFD-induced obesity symptoms, such as body weight gain, and decrease total hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Integrated hepatic transcriptome and metabolome data suggested that Pls mainly altered lipid metabolism pathways (FA metabolism, primary bile acid biosynthesis, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and glycerolipid and glycerophospholipid metabolism) and the TCA cycle, induced the overexpression of anti-oxidation enzymes (Cat, Gpx4, Sod3a and Xdh), reduced disease biomarkers (such as glutarylcarnitine, gamma-glutamyltyrosine, and 11-prostaglandin f2) and gut microbiota-derived metabolites, and increased (+/-)12(13)-diHOME, EPA, lysoPC and PC levels. Moreover, 5 abnormally regulated metabolites were identified as potential biomarkers associated with hyperlipidemia according to the metabolomics results and suggested the involvement of gut microbiota in the anti-hyperlipidemic effects of Pls. Collectively, these findings suggest that the protective role of Pls is mainly associated with the promotion of unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis and cholesterol efflux, lipid and phospholipid PUFA remodeling, and anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory capabilities. This study provides valuable information for reasonably explaining the beneficial effects of seafood-derived Pls in alleviating hyperlipidemia and thus may contribute to the development and application of Pls as functional foods or dietary supplements to protect against obesity and hyperlipidemia. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Plasmalogens). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med23&DO=10.1039%2fd3fo00063j +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Feng&issn=2042-6496&title=Food+%26+Function&atitle=Transcriptomics+integrated+with+metabolomics+reveals+the+ameliorating+effect+of+mussel-derived+plasmalogens+on+high-fat+diet-induced+hyperlipidemia+in+zebrafish.&volume=14&issue=8&spage=3641&epage=3658&date=2023&doi=10.1039%2Fd3fo00063j&pmid=36961308&sid=OVID:medline + +<283> +Unique Identifier + 36958578 +Title + The PERInatal MYocardial Remodeling (PERIMYR) cohort study protocol: A prospective study of cardiac remodeling and "recovery" in pregnancy as a model to understand the impact of comorbidities in cardiac remodeling and reverse remodeling. +Source + Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia. 42(6):585-596, 2023 06. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ferreira AF; Azevedo MJ; Saraiva FA; Trindade F; Barros A; Leite S; Proenca T; Sousa C; Machado AP; Leite-Moreira A; Sampaio-Maia B; Ramalho C; Falcao-Pires I +Authors Full Name + Ferreira, Ana Filipa; Azevedo, Maria Joao; Saraiva, Francisca Almeida; Trindade, Fabio; Barros, Antonio; Leite, Sara; Proenca, Tania; Sousa, Carla; Machado, Ana Paula; Leite-Moreira, Adelino; Sampaio-Maia, Benedita; Ramalho, Carla; Falcao-Pires, Ines. +Institution + Ferreira, Ana Filipa.

Several conditions trigger left ventricular chronic pressure or volume overload, hypertrophy, systolic and diastolic dysfunction, leading to cardiac remodeling and a rapid progression toward HF. Therapeutic interventions elicit reverse remodeling (RR), a highly variable myocardial response that ranges from none to total ventricular structural/functional recovery. However, HF patients present several comorbidities and medications that mask a comprehensive molecular knowledge of RR and hinder the identification of potential biomarkers of its progression or prognosis. Therefore, instead of using this heterogeneous population or even animal models to understand myocardial remodeling, we propose studying pregnancy-induced cardiovascular remodeling and postpartum-induced RR. + + OBJECTIVES: To assess cardiovascular functional and structural adaptations during pregnancy and in postpartum, characterizing the associated molecular changes; as well as to explore the impact of hypertension, obesity and diabetes on these processes. + + METHODS: We will perform echocardiography and assess endothelial function and arterial stiffness (EndoPAT R and pulse wave velocity, respectively) and assess potential markers of remodeling and RR using plasma and urine samples from pregnant women. To translate to a HF context, we will determine the impact of risk factors (hypertension, obesity and diabetes) by studying subgroups of pregnant women with these comorbidities. + + RESULTS: Not applicable. + + CONCLUSION: We are convinced that understanding the impact of these comorbidities in such a homogeneous population, such as pregnant women, provides a valuable model to unveil the most relevant pathologic and often masked signaling pathways underlying cardiac remodeling and incomplete RR in a heterogeneous population, such as HF patients. Moreover, we expect to identify potential novel biomarkers of RR progression/prognosis more easily. Copyright © 2023 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia. Publicado por Elsevier Espana, S.L.U.

However, the early detection of vascular damage in those patients is still difficult to ascertain. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recognized to play a critical role in initiation and pathogenesis of vascular dysfunction. Herein, we aimed to identify circulating miRNA biomarkers of vascular dysfunction as early predictors of CVDs. We have recruited 23 middle-aged Emiratis patients with the following criteria: A healthy control group with vitamin D >= 20ng, and BMI < 30 (C1 group = 11 individuals); A vitamin D deficiency (Vit D level <= 20 ng) and obese (BMI >= 30) group (A1 group = 9 patients); A vitamin D deficiency, obese, plus DM (A2 group = 3 patients). Arterial stiffness via pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured and the whole transcriptome analysis with qPCR validation for miRNA in plasma samples were tested. PWV relative to age was significantly higher in A1 group 19.4 +/- 4.7 m/s and A2 group 18.3 +/- 1.3 m/s compared to controls 14.7 +/- 2.1 m/s (p < 0.05). Similar patterns were also observed in the Augmentation pressure (AP) and Alx%. Whole RNA-Sequencing revealed miR-182-5p; miR-199a-5p; miR-193a-5p; and miR-155-5p were differentially over-expressed (logFC > 1.5) in high-risk patients for CVDs vs healthy controls. Collectively, our result indicates that four specific circulating miRNA signature, may be utilized as non-invasive, diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for early vascular damage in patients suffering from vitamin D deficiency, obesity and DM.

We compared the accuracy of simple serum models, a serum model incorporating direct measures of fibrogenesis (Hepascore), and Fibroscan R, for detecting fibrosis in NAFLD. + + METHODS: NAFLD patients undergoing liver biopsy were evaluated with Hepascore, NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS), FIB-4 and AST-platelet ratio index (APRI), with a subset (n = 131) undergoing Fibroscan R. Fibrosis on liver biopsy was categorized as advanced (F3-4) or cirrhosis (F4). Accuracy was determined by area under receiving operating characteristic curves (AUC). Indeterminate ranges were calculated using published cut-offs. + + RESULTS: In 271 NAFLD patients, 83 (31%) had F3-4 and 47 (17%) cirrhosis. 6/131 (4%) had an unreliable Fibroscan R. For the detection of advanced fibrosis, the accuracy of Hepascore (AUC 0.88) was higher than FIB-4 (0.73), NFS (0.72) and APRI (0.69) (p < 0.001 for all). Hepascore had similar accuracy to Fibroscan R (0.80) overall, but higher accuracy in obese individuals (0.91 vs 0.80, p = 0.001). Hepascore more accurately identified patients with cirrhosis than APRI (AUC 0.85 vs 0.71, p = 0.01) and NFS (AUC 0.73, p = 0.01) but performed similar to FIB-4 and Fibroscan R. For the determination of F3-4, the proportion of patients in indeterminate area was lower for Hepascore (4.8%), compared to FIB-4 (42%), NFS (36%) and APRI (44%) (p < 0.001 for all). + + CONCLUSIONS: Hepascore has greater accuracy and a lower indeterminate range than simple serum fibrosis tests for advanced fibrosis in NAFLD, and greater accuracy than Fibroscan R in obese individuals.

Anthropometric measurements, glucose, lipid profile, insulin and sRAGE were evaluated; body mass index, total cholesterol/high-density cholesterol (TC/HDL-C), triglycerides/glucose (TG/glucose), and triglycerides/HDL-C (TG-HDL-C) ratios and HOMA-IR were also calculated. + + RESULTS: Eighty children were studied, among which 50% were males and 50% females. Females had higher values for waist circumference, HOMA-IR, and TG/HDL-C and TG/glucose ratios. No significant differences were found for sRAGE. When the variables were compared according to TG/HDL-C ratio tertiles, higher TC/HDL, TG/glucose, and sRAGE values were found at upper tertile. A significant correlation was observed between sRAGE and HOMA-IR (p < 0.03) in males, and between sRAGE and TG/HDL-C (p < 0.01) and TG/glucose ratios (p < 0.008) in females. + + CONCLUSIONS: The female gender showed more cardiovascular risk factors and higher sRAGE at TG/HDL-C upper tertile. Further studies are required to test the possible predictive effect of higher risk for developing metabolic and cardiovascular complications.

For inclusion and exclusion, predefined criteria were followed. In all included participants obese and non-obese collection of GCF was made from mandibular canine to canine. Identification of inflammatory mediators (MPO and CRP) leptin, adiponectin, and resistin (pg/mL). Bone remodeling biomarkers RANKL (pg/mL) and tissue remodeling biomarkers MMP8, MMP9, TIMP1, and MMP8/TIMP1, MMP9/TIMP1 ratio were collected and blinded by the investigator. Normal distribution of data i.e., age, BMI, the flow rate of GCF, indices plaque and gingival, and uWMS were compared using a t-test. Non-normality biomarker data were evaluated using Mann-Whitney U-test. To assess the relationship between the concentration of GCF biomarkers and plaque and gingival indices Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients were used. + + RESULTS: The total number of participants included was 44. In the obese and non-obese groups, the male/female ratio was the same i.e., (n=11 each). The mean age of participants in the obese group was (25.7+/-1.55 years), whereas the non-obese group was (26.1+/-1.29 years). In obese the mean BMI was (33.6+/-2.1 kg/m2) whereas in non-obese (22.9+/-1.9 kg/m2) (p<0.02). Among the levels of biomarkers adiponectin (p<0.006) and leptin (p<0.028) demonstrated a significant difference between obese and non-obese participants. Also, a significant difference was noted between obese and non-obese in tissue remodeling biomarker MMP9 (p<0.03). + + CONCLUSIONS: A surge in the level of the biomarkers, i.e., MMP9, leptin, and adiponectin in the gingival crevicular fluid is found in obese undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Leptin).

Earlier research on this hormone focused on regulating energy expenditure and glucose homeostasis. Consequently, several studies attempted to characterize the molecule mechanism of Metrnl in glucose metabolism and obesity-related disorders but reported contradictory clinical results. Recent studies gradually noticed its multiple protective functions in inflammatory immune regulations and cardiometabolic diseases, such as inducing macrophage activation, angiogenesis, tissue remodeling, bone formation, and preventing dyslipidemias. A comprehensive understanding of this novel protein is essential to identify its significance as a potential therapeutic drug or a biomarker of certain diseases. In this review, we present the current knowledge on the physiology of Metrnl and its roles in inflammation, immunology, and metabolism, including animal/cell interventional preclinical studies and human clinical studies. We also describe controversies regarding the data of circulation Metrnl in different disease states to determine its clinical application better.

Due to the importance of the gut-liver axis in the progression of NAFLD, studies attempt to reveal microbial signatures in NAFLD, evaluate them as diagnostic biomarkers, and to predict disease progression. The gut microbiome affects human physiology by processing the ingested food into bioactive metabolites. These molecules can penetrate the portal vein and the liver to promote or prevent hepatic fat accumulation. Here, the findings of human fecal metagenomic and metabolomic studies relating to NAFLD are reviewed. The studies present mostly distinct, and even contradictory, findings regarding microbial metabolites and functional genes in NAFLD. The most abundantly reproducing microbial biomarkers include increased lipopolysaccharides and peptidoglycan biosynthesis, enhanced degradation of lysine, increased levels of branched chain amino acids, as well as altered lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Among other causes, the discrepancies between the studies may be related to the obesity status of the patients and the severity of NAFLD. In none of the studies, except for one, was diet considered, although it is an important factor driving gut microbiota metabolism. Future studies should consider diet in these analyses. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

In this paper, we use the data from the 2015-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to explore this. Dietary intakes were measured during two 24-h dietary recall interviews and using USDA Food Pattern Equivalence Database (FPED) dietary data. Serum inflammatory markers were obtained from NHANES Laboratory Data. Generalized structural equation models (GSEMs) were used to explore the mediating relationship. Central obesity plays a significant mediating role in the association between HEI-2015 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), mediating 26.87% of the associations between the two; it also mediates 15.24% of the associations between DII and hs-CRP. Central obesity plays a mediating role in 13.98% of the associations between HEI-2015 and white blood cells (WBC); it also mediates 10.83% of the associations between DII and WBC. Our study suggests that central obesity plays a mediating role in the association of dietary quality with low-grade inflammation-related serum inflammatory markers (hs-CRP and WBC). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med23&DO=10.3390%2fijerph20053781 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Zhang&issn=1660-4601&title=International+Journal+of+Environmental+Research+%26+Public+Health+%5BElectronic+Resource%5D&atitle=The+Mediating+Effect+of+Central+Obesity+on+the+Association+between+Dietary+Quality%2C+Dietary+Inflammation+Level+and+Low-Grade+Inflammation-Related+Serum+Inflammatory+Markers+in+Adults.&volume=20&issue=5&spage=&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.3390%2Fijerph20053781&pmid=36900791&sid=OVID:medline + +<291> +Unique Identifier + 36866796 +Title + Application of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to detect biochemical changes in blood serum of obese patients. +Source + Journal of Biophotonics. 16(6):e202200388, 2023 06. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Guleken Z; Cecen S; Ceylan Z; Jakubczyk P; Depciuch J +Author NameID + Guleken, Zozan; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4136-4447 +Authors Full Name + Guleken, Zozan; Cecen, Serpil; Ceylan, Zeynep; Jakubczyk, Pawel; Depciuch, Joanna. +Institution + Guleken, Zozan.

Anthropometric data such as body mass index, fat, and fat mass values are assessed for obesity. Therefore, we aimed to propose two Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectral regions, 800-1800 cm-1 and 2700-3000 cm-1 , as sensitive potential band assignments for obesity-related biochemical changes. A total of 134 obese (n = 89) and controls (n = 45) biochemical characteristics and clinical parameters indicative of obesity were evaluated. The FT-IR spectra of dried blood serum were measured. Anthropometric data of the obese have the highest body mass index, %fat, and fat mass values compared to the healthy group (p < 0.01). Also, the triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were higher than in healthy subjects (p < 0.01). Principal component analysis (PCA) technique successfully distinguished obese and control groups in the fingerprint, accounting for 98.5% and 99.9% of the total variability (800-1800 cm-1 ) and lipids (2700-3000 cm-1 ) regions presented as 2D and 3D score plots. The loading results indicated that peaks corresponding to phosphonate groups, glucose, amide I, and lipid groups were shifted in the obese group, indicating their potential as biomarkers of obesity. This study suggests that FTIR analysis based on PCA can provide a detailed and reliable method for the analysis of blood serum in obese patients.

We aimed to evaluate in which contexts BMI could be a good measure for body fatness compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) derived measures. The study population included 18,061 participants (9141 men and 8920 women) aged 18 and older who tested DXA from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database from 1999 to 2006, and 8107 men and 10,754 women with DXA data from Korea NHANES from 2008 to 2011 to represent the Asian population. We calculated Pearson correlation coefficients between BMI and DXA derived fat mass index (FMI) and percentage body fat (PBF) depending on age, sex, and race-ethnicity. The correlation between BMI, FMI and PBF and obesity-related biomarkers was also estimated among the subgroup with both DXA and information on each biomarker. BMI was strongly correlated with FMI (r = 0.944 in men and 0.976 in women), PBF (r = 0.735 in men and 0.799 in women), and truncal fat mass (r = 0.914 in men and 0.941 in women) with correlations stronger in women than in men except for with waist-height ratio (r = 0.921 in men and 0.911 in women). The correlation between BMI and DXA derived adiposity weakened with age in both sexes. BMI was less correlated with FMI (r = 0.840 in men and 0.912 in women), PBF (r = 0.645 in men and 0.681 in women), and truncal fat mass (r = 0.836 in men and 0.884 in women) in Korean compared to other race-ethnicities. Among obesity-related biomarkers, insulin was the most strongly correlated to body adiposity indices in both sexes and strength of these correlations generally decreased with age. BMI predicted obesity-related biomarkers as well as FMI and truncal fat mass and superior to PBF. BMI could be a good measure for body fatness, particularly among young age groups, women, the US population, but less so in Korean populations. The lower correlation between BMI and body fatness in older compared to younger age groups could be related to increasing PBF and decreasing lean body mass. Copyright © 2023.

However, most studies assessing association between PFAS and liver enzymes focused on individual PFAS. Moreover, PFAS concentrations differ based on sex and obesity status, and it remains unclear whether these factors affect associations with liver function. Therefore, we examined the association between exposure to both individual and combined PFAS and liver-function biomarkers and assessed sex and obesity as effect modifiers in Korean adults. + + METHODS: We measured serum concentrations of the five most abundant PFAS (PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFDA, PFNA) and three liver enzymes (alanine transaminase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], gamma-glutamyl transferase [GGT]) in 1404 adults from the Korean National Environmental Health Survey Cycle 3, 2015-2017. We used linear regression to evaluate associations between individual PFAS and liver-function biomarkers, assessing sex and obesity as possible effect modifiers, and performed Bayesian kernel machine regression and quantile g-computation to evaluate the overall effect of PFAS mixture on biomarkers of liver function. + + RESULTS: Among 1404 Korean adults, all five PFAS were detected. Geometric mean concentration was highest for PFOS (16.11 mug/L), followed by PFOA (5.83 mug/L), PFHxS (2.21 mug/L), PFNA (2.03 mug/L), and PFDA (1.06 mug/L). In multivariable linear regression, all PFAS were positively associated with ALT, AST, and GGT; 2-fold increase in each PFAS was associated with 3.4-8.6% higher ALT, 2.4-4.6% higher AST, and 4.6-11.1% higher GGT (all p < 0.05). Positive associations for PFOA, PFDA, and PFNA with AST were stronger in men, and positive associations for PFOS with ALT and GGT were stronger in women. Compared to obese participants, nonobese participants had higher average percent changes in each enzyme, particularly GGT, when individual PFAS concentration doubled. Additionally, increased exposure to PFAS mixtures was associated with higher ALT, AST, and GGT. In quantile g-computations, simultaneous quartile increase in all PFAS was significantly associated with 6.9% (95%CI: 3.7, 10.2) higher ALT, 4.5% (95%CI: 2.4, 6.6) higher AST, and 8.3% (95%CI: 3.7, 13.1) higher GGT levels, on average. + + CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to individual and combined PFAS is associated with higher liver enzymes in Korean adults, providing additional evidence for the association between PFAS exposure and risk of liver disease.

Subjects with the phenotype known as metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) meet most of the MS cardiometabolic risk criteria and show a higher risk of advanced NAFLD severity, compared with the so-widely known metabolically healthy obese (MHO). Obese individuals with MS are more susceptible to abnormal lipid accumulation in different tissues, whereas oxidative stress and nitrogen metabolites are increased in MS and/or obesity. This study aimed to explore whether plasma- or liver tissue-determined biomarkers of nitrogen metabolism and oxidative stress relate to NAFLD severity and/or metabolic phenotype. Methods: This cross-sectional study included candidates for bariatric surgery with biopsy-proven NAFLD diagnosis and staging. For comparison, the study population was divided according to NAFLD damage (steatohepatitis F0-F1 vs. steatohepatitis F2-F4) and metabolic phenotype (MHO vs MUO, based on the MS criteria). Hepatic and plasma concentrations of nitrogen metabolites and oxidative stress biomarkers were determined by enzymatic kinetics assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Greiss reaction. Results: The study population (N = 45) was constituted by patients with obesity and higher prevalence of dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. According to plasma biomarkers, MUO phenotype was related to higher cardiometabolic risk; meanwhile, advanced NAFLD damage was related to higher glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and triglycerides. Elevated hepatic concentrations of ammonium, nitrites, arginine, and citrulline were found in MUO phenotype, but only higher plasma concentration of malondialdehyde was found as specifically related to advanced NAFLD damage. Conclusions: Circulating biomarkers of redox state were selectively related to advanced NAFLD damage, suggesting prognostic and therapeutic targets. Hepatic concentrations of nitrogen metabolism biomarkers may be more related to cardiometabolic risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We performed an LC-MS-based non-targeted metabolomic analysis of whole blood samples collected from subjects classified into 4 types, based on the presence or absence of obesity and T2D. Of the 125 compounds identified, 20, comprising mainly nucleobases and glucose metabolites, showed significant increases or decreases in the T2D group. These included cytidine, UDP-glucuronate, UMP, 6-phosphogluconate, and pentose-phosphate. Among those 20 compounds, 11 enriched in red blood cells (RBCs) have rarely been studied in the context of diabetes, indicating that RBC metabolism is more extensively disrupted than previously known. Correlation analysis revealed that these T2D markers include 15 HbA1c-associated and 5 irrelevant compounds that may reflect diabetic conditions by a different mechanism than that of HbA1c. In the obese group, enhanced protein and fatty acid catabolism causes increases in 13 compounds, including methylated or acetylated amino acids and short-chain carnitines. Our study, which may be considered a pilot investigation, suggests that changes in blood metabolism due to obesity and diabetes are large, but essentially independent. Copyright © 2023.

This single-blind randomized placebo-controlled study investigated DSC effects on inflammation, cardiometabolic, and liver health biomarkers in obese adults. Participants (>18 years, body mass index (BMI) = 30-40 kg/m2) consumed 200 mL of DSC drink (juice supplemented with DSC powder) (n = 19) or a placebo drink (n = 21) twice/day for 30 days. Anthropometric and physiological biomarkers were monitored at baseline (D1), mid-point (D15), and endpoint (D30) visits. Blood inflammatory biomarkers were assessed at D1, D15, and D30, and blood lipids, glucose, and liver enzymes at D1 and D30. DSC consumption lowered systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p = 0.05) and decreased diastolic blood pressure (DBP) compared to placebo (p = 0.04). Stratification of participants by BMI revealed a greater (p = 0.008) SBP reduction in BMI > 35 participants. DSC lowered pro-inflammatory interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) (p = 0.001), which correlated with SBP changes. The interleukin (IL)-1RA and SBP changes were correlated in the placebo group, as well as triglycerides (TG) with DBP. The increased IL-10 levels in the placebo group suggested a compensatory mechanism to counteract elevated IFNgamma levels. No significant between-group differences were detected for blood lipids, glucose, and liver enzymes. In conclusion, DSC helped to decrease blood pressure levels and inflammation in obese adults. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 82115-62-6 (Interferon-gamma). 0 (Biomarkers).

The participants were allocated to sarcopenia, obesity, and SO groups depending on if their body mass index (BMI) was >=25 kg/m2 and their sarcopenia index was <=1 standard deviation (SD) lower than the mean of the reference group. The sex-specific differences and trends among the participants were analyzed by using the TyG index tertiles, and appropriate cut-off values of the TyG index for SO were calculated. + + RESULTS: As the TyG index increased, BMI increased, but the sarcopenia index decreased in both sexes. Males and females in the middle and highest tertiles of the TyG index were 1.775 and 3.369, and they were 1.993 and 3.157 times more likely to have SO, respectively. The cut-off values of the TyG index for SO in males and females were >=8.72 and 8.67, respectively. + + CONCLUSION: A high TyG index is positively associated with SO, and the TyG index may be considered a potential indicator of SO. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + IY9XDZ35W2 (Glucose). 0 (Triglycerides). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med23&DO=10.3390%2fnu15030555 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Kim&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Triglyceride-Glucose+Index+as+a+Potential+Indicator+of+Sarcopenic+Obesity+in+Older+People.&volume=15&issue=3&spage=&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.3390%2Fnu15030555&pmid=36771263&sid=OVID:medline + +<298> +Unique Identifier + 36754448 +Title + Stratification Of LIver Disease (SOLID): protocol for a prospective observational cohort study to determine the optimum biomarker strategies for the detection of advanced liver disease at the primary-secondary care interface. +Source + BMJ Open Gastroenterology. 10(1), 2023 02. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + McPherson S; Jarvis H; McGonigle J; Bedlington J; Dean J; Hallsworth K; Hanon E; Liddle T; Luvai A; Mansour D; Patel P; Renwick L; Teare D; Tanney C; Anstee Q +Author NameID + McPherson, Stuart; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5638-2453 + Mansour, Dina; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8367-4232 + Anstee, Quentin; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9518-0088 +Authors Full Name + McPherson, Stuart; Jarvis, Helen; McGonigle, John; Bedlington, Joan; Dean, Jill; Hallsworth, Kate; Hanon, Elodie; Liddle, Trevor; Luvai, Ahai; Mansour, Dina; Patel, Preya; Renwick, Laura; Teare, Dawn; Tanney, Christina; Anstee, Quentin. +Institution + McPherson, Stuart.

Fatty liver disease can progress to cirrhosis and its complications. Early identification of liver disease and treatment may prevent progression to cirrhosis. Biomarkers including FIB-4, enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF), PRO-C3 and vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) can stage liver fibrosis, but it is not known how well they perform in a primary care population. Moreover, no assessment of long-term prognostic ability of these biomarkers has been conducted in primary care. We aim to evaluate the performance of fibrosis biomarkers in primary care to develop a pathway to detect advanced fibrosis. + + METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This prospective, observational cohort study will recruit 3000 individuals with fatty liver disease risk factors (obesity, type 2 diabetes or hazardous alcohol consumption) at their primary care 'annual chronic disease review'. Participants will have a 'liver health check'. Two pathways will be evaluated: (1) all have FIB-4, ELF and VCTE performed, and (2) patients have an initial assessment with FIB-4 and ELF, followed by VCTE in only those with increased FIB-4 and/or ELF. Individuals with suspected significant/advanced liver fibrosis (liver stiffness measurement>8 kPa), will be reviewed in secondary care to confirm their fibrosis stage and institute treatment. The performance of FIB-4, ELF, PRO-C3, VCTE and novel biomarkers alone or in combination for advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis will be evaluated. Participants will be followed longitudinally via their electronic health records to assess long-term clinical outcomes. + + ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval was obtained from the London-Chelsea Research Ethics Committee (22/PR/0535; 27 June 2022). Recruitment began on 31 October 2022. Outcomes of this study will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific meetings. A lay summary of the results will be available for study participants and will be disseminated widely by LIVErNORTH. Copyright © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2023. Re-use permitted under CC BY.

Oxidative-stress, an adverse cellular response to adipocyte hypertrophy, promotes inflammation. Furthermore, gut-microbiota dysbiosis may induce oxidative-stress, low-grade inflammation, and metabolic-endotoxemia as major drivers of obesity. Functional-foods/nutraceuticals have attracted extensive attention due to their plausible anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidative properties; evidence supports the superiority of the nutraceutical combined-supplementation approach versus conventional mono-therapies. Current data suggest the anti-oxidative/anti-inflammatory properties of either L-carnitine or pre/pro/synbiotics. This trial compared the effects of co-supplementing L-carnitine and multi-species/multi-strain synbiotic versusL-carnitine mono-therapy on inflammatory/anti-inflammatory, oxidative-stress, and metabolic-endotoxemia biomarkers in 46 female obese patients, receiving either co-supplementation (L-carnitine-tartrate (2 x 500 mg d-1) + multi-species/multi-strain synbiotic (1 capsule per day)) or mono-therapy (L-carnitine-tartrate (2 x 500 mg d-1) + maltodextrin (1 capsule per day)) for eight weeks. L-Carnitine + synbiotic co-supplementation significantly decreased interleukin-6 (IL-6, -33.98%), high-sensitivity-C-reactive-protein (hs-CRP, -10%), tumor-necrosis-factor-alpha (TNF-alpha, -18.73%), malondialdehyde (MDA, -21.73%), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS, -10.14%), whereas the increase in interleukin-10 (IL-10, 7.69%) and total-antioxidant-capacity (TAC, 4.13%) levels was not significant. No significant changes were observed for the above-mentioned parameters in the L-carnitine + placebo group, except for a significant reduction in IL-10 (-17.59%) and TNF-alpha (-14.78%); however, between-group differences did not reach the significant threshold. Co-supplementing L-carnitine + multi-strain synbiotic led to significant amelioration of inflammatory, oxidative, and metabolic-endotoxemia responses in female obese patients; nevertheless, no improving effects were observed in patients receiving single-supplementation, suggesting that L-carnitine + synbiotic co-supplementation might represent an adjuvant approach to improve oxidative-stress/pro-inflammatory indicators in women with obesity, possibly through beneficial effects of the synbiotic alone. Further longer duration studies with higher doses of L-carnitine in a three-group setting are warranted to elucidate the possibility of synergistic or complementary mechanisms. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + S7UI8SM58A (Carnitine). 130068-27-8 (Interleukin-10). 0 (Tartrates). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 0 (Anti-Inflammatory Agents). 0 (Interleukin-6). +Publication Type + Randomized Controlled Trial.

However, whether these alterations are present during fetal life is not well understood. Obese and normal weight pregnant women were recruited to determine fatty acids (FAs) consumption, FAs profile (in maternal erythrocytes, placenta and neonatal very low-density lipoproteins VLDL) and biomarkers of fetal liver function, such as gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and albumin, in umbilical cord blood. Stearic acid (C18:0, ST) was lower, and total n-3 FAs tended to be lower in umbilical cord VLDLs of obese women compared to controls. Independently of maternal obesity, GGT levels in umbilical cord blood was positively correlated with the LA content and negatively correlated with the ALA content in maternal erythrocytes. We conclude that maternal obesity and its imbalance of LA and ALA are associated with changes in biomarkers of fetal liver function. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.

Adult subjects (18 years of age and older) who underwent annual health examination at the Health Management Center in Sir Run Run Hospital were eligible. Subjects with major diseases, e.g., hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, obesity (body mass index >= 28 kg/m2) were excluded from the analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors of elevated cystatin C (> 1.03 mg/L). Data are shown as median and 95% confidence interval (CI). + + RESULTS: The final analysis included a total of 10,640 subjects (40 +/- 12 years, 52% men). The median serum cystatin C concentration was 0.73 mg/L (95% CI 0.52-1.03 mg/L) in the overall analysis, 0.79 (95% CI 0.59-1.07 mg/L) in men, and 0.67 (95% CI 0.49-0.95 mg/L) in women. In the multivariate regression analysis, elevated cystatin C was independently associated with the male sex (odds ratio 1.94; 95% CI 1.07-3.52), older age (odds ratio 1.04 every year; 95% CI 1.02-1.06), higher body mass index (odds ratio 1.70; 95% CI 1.01-2.83), uric acid (odds ratio 1.00; 95% CI 1.00-1.01), and beta2-microglobulin (odds ratio 39.35; 95% CI 22.90-67.64). + + CONCLUSION: The median serum cystatin C concentration was 0.73 (95% CI 0.52-1.03 mg/L) in healthy adult Chinese population, 0.79 (95% CI 0.59-1.07 mg/L) in men, and 0.67 (95% CI 0.49-0.95 mg/L) in women.

To date, not a single country has successfully been able to curb the accumulating burden of obesity. One explanation for the lack of progress is that lifestyle intervention programs are traditionally implemented without a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's diagnostic biomarkers. Evidence from genome-wide association studies highlight the importance of genetic and epigenetic factors in the development of obesity and how they in turn affect the transcriptome, metabolites, microbiomes, and proteomes. + + OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the different types of omics data: genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and illustrate how a multi-omics approach can be fundamental for the implementation of precision obesity management. + + RESULTS: The different types of omics designs are grouped into two categories, the genotype approach and the phenotype approach. When applied to obesity prevention and management, each omics type could potentially help to detect specific biomarkers in people with risk profiles and guide healthcare professionals and decision makers in developing individualized treatment plans according to the needs of the individual before the onset of obesity. + + CONCLUSION: Integrating multi-omics approaches will enable a paradigm shift from the one size fits all approach towards precision obesity management, i.e. (1) precision prevention of the onset of obesity, (2) precision medicine and tailored treatment of obesity, and (3) precision risk reduction and prevention of secondary diseases related to obesity.

While animal studies show evidence for addictive processes in relation to processed foods, most human studies are psychologically focussed and there is a need to better understand evidence for biological mechanisms of food addiction in humans. Several key hormones are implicated in models of food addiction, due to their key roles in feeding, energy metabolism, stress and addictive behaviours. This systematic literature review examines evidence for relationships between food addiction, hormones and other blood biomarkers. + + METHODS: A series of literature searches was performed in Scopus, PsychInfo, MedLine, ProQuest, CINAHL and Web of Science. A total of 3111 articles were found, of which 1045 were duplicates. Articles were included if they contained a psychometric measurement of food addiction, such as the Yale Food Addiction Scale, as well as addressed the association between FA and hormones or blood biomarkers in humans. Articles were assessed for eligibility by two independent reviewers. + + RESULTS: Sixteen studies were identified that examined relationships between food addiction and blood biomarkers, published between 2015 and 2021. Significant findings were reported for leptin, ghrelin, cortisol, insulin and glucose, oxytocin, cholesterol, plasma dopamine, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), triglyceride (TG), amylin, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF- alpha) and cholecystokinin (CCK). Methodological issues included small sample sizes and variation in obesity status, sex and mental health-related comorbidities. Due to methodological limitations, definite connections between FA, hormones and other blood biomarkers cannot yet be determined. + + CONCLUSION: This systematic review identified preliminary evidence linking FA symptoms to hormones and other blood biomarkers related to feeding, addiction, and stress. However, due to the small number of studies and methodological limitations, further research is needed to evaluate biopsychosocial models of FA and to resolve controversies.

The RDIF-CT group participated in High intensity interval training (HIIT) program combined with resistance exercises for 4 weeks. Body composition, blood glucose, lipid profile, liver biomarkers and inflammation were assessed before and after 4-week RDIF. Both groups showed a significant decrease in weight, fat mass (FM), fat percentage (Fat%) and waist circumference (WC) and an improvement in blood glucose, lipid profile and inflammation. Fat free mass decreased significantly in RDIF-NCT (p < 0.05) while remaining unchanged in RDIF-CT. However, RDIF-CT induced greater improvements in body composition (i.e., weight, FM, Fat% and WC (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.01 and p < 0.05; respectively)) as well as greater decrease in lipid biomarkers (i.e., TC, TG and LDL (p < 0.01 for all)), inflammation (i.e., CRP (p < 0.05)), and liver damage (i.e., ASAT, ALAT and Gamma-GT (p < 0.01, p < 0.05 and p < 0.001; respectively)) compared to RDIF-NCT group pre-post intervention. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that a combination of RDIF and CT induces greater changes in body composition, lipid profile, inflammation and liver biomarkers compared to RDIF strategy alone. + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTER: PACTR202203475387226.

Lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs) are a class of lipid biomolecules derived from the cleavage of PCs, and are the main components of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDLs) that are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Since obesity is associated with a state of chronic low-grade inflammation, one can anticipate that the lipidomic profile changes in this context and both PCs and LPCs are gaining attention as hypothetically reliable biomarkers of obesity. Thus, a literature search is performed on PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Health Science Literature (LILACS), and Excerpta Medica DataBASE (Embase) to obtain the findings of population studies to clarify this hypothesis. The search strategy resulted in a total of 2403 reports and 21 studies were included according to the eligibility criteria. Controversial data on the associations of PCs and LPCs with body mass index (BMI) and body fat parameters have been identified. There is an inverse relationship between BMI and most species of PCs, and a majority of studies exhibited negative associations between BMI and LPCs. Other findings regarding the differences between PCs and LPCs in obesity are presented, and the associated uncertainties are discussed in detail.

Sixty-three patients (aged 65-80 years) with osteosarcopenic obesity and a body mass index exceeding 30 kg/m2 were enrolled in the study. The participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (REBE, n = 32) or a usual care group (n = 31). The experimental group completed a 12-week REBE program, three times a week and 60 min per session. There were decreases in lipid accumulation product (p = .033), visceral adipose index (p = .001), triglyceride-glucose-body mass index (p = .034), and atherogenic index of plasma (p = .028) in the experimental group compared with the usual care group. Our findings highlight the importance of an REBE program in improving combined cardiometabolic/obesity-related indices in older women with osteosarcopenic obesity. The incorporation of an REBE program may benefit individuals who are unable to tolerate or participate in more strenuous exercise programs. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Randomized Controlled Trial.

Little is known on the risk factors of new-onset hypertension among middle-aged women. + + METHODS: In this nested case-control study, 1,430 women aged 40 to 60 years with repeated physical examinations between 2009 and 2019 were recruited. Data included age, body mass index, blood pressure (BP), and a series of blood biomarkers. Participants with hypertension were divided into two case-control samples: 388 cases with episodic new-onset hypertension (ie, one normal BP at the first visit and one abnormal BP during follow-up) each with two age-matched controls (n = 776) and 151 cases with regular new-onset hypertension (ie, normal BP at the first two visits and abnormal BP at two or more follow-up visits) each with three age-matched controls (n = 453). Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression was used to analyze the data. + + RESULTS: Our data showed very consistent results for episodic and regular new-onset hypertension, respectively, and verified known associations (odds ratio [95% confidence interval], per SD increase) with obesity (body mass index, 1.72 [1.49-1.98] and 1.81 [1.45-2.26]), inflammation (white blood cell count, 1.39 [1.23-1.58] and 1.38 [1.13-1.69]), and metabolic dysregulation (triglycerides, 1.25 [1.09-1.44] and 1.31 [1.08-1.58]; glucose, 1.46 [1.23-1.73] and 1.27 [1.05-1.54]) but, more surprisingly, also revealed positive associations with red blood cell count (1.27 [1.11-1.44] and 1.38 [1.14-1.68]), hemoglobin (1.18 [1.03-1.35] and 1.31 [1.05-1.64]), and platelet count (1.39 [1.20-1.61] and 1.33 [1.09-1.63]). + + CONCLUSIONS: In addition to obesity and metabolic dysregulation, increased hemoglobin and counts of platelets, and red and white blood cells are associated with hypertension in this period. Future study may verify whether these associations are causal in nature and whether these variables are useful in risk stratification.

This study aimed to explore potential biological pathways and hub genes involved in obese VAT, and for that, bioinformatic analysis of multiple datasets was performed. The expression profiles (GSE30247, GSE167311 and GSE79434) were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus. Overlapping differentially expressed genes (ODEGs) between normal diet and HFD groups in GSE30247 and GSE167311 were selected to run protein-protein interaction network, GO and KEGG analysis. The hub genes in ODEGs were screened by Cytoscape software and further verified in GSE79434 and obese mouse model. A total of 747 ODEGs (599 up-regulated and 148 down-regulated) were screened, and the GO and KEGG analysis showed that the up-regulated ODEGs were significantly enriched in inflammatory response and extracellular matrix receptor interaction pathways. On the other hand, the down-regulated ODEGs were involved in metabolic pathways; however, there were no significant KEGG pathways. Furthermore, six hub genes, Mki67, Rac2, Itgb2, Emr1, Tyrobp and Csf1r were acquired. These pathways and genes were verified in GSE79434 and VAT of obese mice. This study revealed that HFD induced VAT expansion, inflammation and fibrosis, and the hub genes could be used as therapeutic biomarkers in obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Pomegranate juice (PJ) has been known to play anti-inflammatory and antioxidant roles. However, the effects of PJ on inflammation, oxidative stress, and sex hormones in PCOS patients are very little studied, and thus more studies are needed. This randomized controlled trial enrolled 44 women diagnosed with PCOS according to the Rotterdam criteria, body mass index (BMI) >= 25 kg/m2 , and aged 18-40 years old. Participants were randomly assigned to take 45 ml/day of concentrated PJ or a control group without intervention. Some biomarkers of sex hormones, inflammation, and oxidative stress were quantified at baseline and after the 8-week intervention. Compared with the controls, serum testosterone levels were significantly decreased in overweight and obese women with PCOS who supplemented with concentrated PJ (-0.004 +/- 0.013 vs. 0.039 +/- 0.013, p = .039). However, we did not observe significant differences in luteinizing hormone (LH) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels and inflammation and oxidative stress factors between the two groups after adjustment for confounding variables.

Localized periodontitis was classified as healthy (N =665), stage I (N =130), stage II (N =161), and stage III (N =155) based on the world workshop in 2017. Insulin resistance was assessed by serum triglycerides concentrations, the triglycerides glucose (TyG) index, the product of serum triglycerides and fasting glucose, and the ratio of serum triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C). Multiple logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age, tobacco smoking, alcohol intake, abdominal obesity, and hypertension was used to determine the associations. + + RESULTS: Serum TG concentrations, TyG index, and TG/HDL-C ratio were dose-dependently associated with a greater risk of localized periodontitis severity (from stage I to stage III) [odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals: 1.001 (0.999-1.004), 1.003 (1.001-1.004) and 1.003 (1.002- 1.005) for TG; 1.45 (1.03-2.03), 1.65 (1.22-2.22) and 1.66 (1.22-2.26) for TyG index; 1.06 (0.99- 1.14), 1.09 (1.03-1.15) and 1.10 (1.04-1.16) for TG/HDL-C ratio]. However, the association was only found in obese individuals and those free of impaired fasting glucose. + + CONCLUSION: The present study confirmed that periodontitis may lead to insulin resistance in young male adults, particularly for those with obesity and without hyperglycemia. The TyG index is suggestive as the strongest indicator for the association between insulin resistance and periodontitis in young adults.

We aimed to elucidate the association of zonulin levels and metabolic syndrome (MS) in renal transplant recipients. + + METHODS: Seventy-nine renal transplant recipients were enrolled. Diagnosis of MS was established employing the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria. Serum zonulin level was determined using the double antibody sandwich ELISA method. + + RESULTS: MS was encountered in 37 (41.6%) of the 79 patients. Serum zonulin level was significantly higher in patients with MS compared to those without MS (p < 0.001). Serum zonulin level correlated with presence of MS (r: 739, p < 0.001), abdominal obesity (r: 514, p < 0.001), fasting glucose level (r: 361, p: 0.001), presence of fasting glucose/diabetes criterion of MS (r: 316, p: 0.005), presence of low HDL criterion of MS (r: 266, p: 0.018), and BMI (r: 527, p < 0.001). + + CONCLUSIONS: A Zonulin-mediated increase in intestinal permeability may play a role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. We propose that zonulin may be a suitable surrogate marker of MS in renal transplant recipients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (zonulin). 0 (Haptoglobins).

It was unclear whether weight had any association with the outcomes of the supplementation. + + Objective: To investigate whether baseline body mass index (BMI) modifies vitamin D metabolism and response to supplementation. + + Design, Setting, and Participants: VITAL is a completed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial for the primary prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease. In the present cohort study, an analysis was conducted in a subset of VITAL participants who provided a blood sample at baseline and a subset with a repeated sample at 2 years' follow-up. VITAL was conducted from July 1, 2010, to November 10, 2018; data analysis for the present study was conducted from August 1, 2021, to November 9, 2021. + + Interventions: Treatment outcomes of vitamin D, 2000 IU/d, supplementation vs placebo associated with clinical and novel vitamin D-related biomarkers by BMI category adjusted for other factors associated with vitamin D status. + + Main Outcomes and Measures: Multivariable-adjusted means (SE) or 95% CIs of vitamin D-related serum biomarkers at baseline and follow-up: total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), 25-OHD3, free vitamin D (FVD), bioavailable vitamin D (BioD), vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP), albumin, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and calcium, and log-transformed as needed. + + Results: A total of 16515 participants (mean [SD] age, 67.7 [7.0] years; 8371 women [50.7%]; 12420 non-Hispanic White [76.9%]) were analyzed at baseline, including 2742 with a follow-up blood sample. Before randomization, serum total 25-OHD levels were incrementally lower at higher BMI categories (adjusted mean [SE]: underweight, 32.3 [0.7] ng/mL; normal weight, 32.3 [0.1] ng/mL; overweight, 30.5 [0.1] ng/mL; obesity class I, 29.0 [0.2] ng/mL; and obesity class II, 28.0 [0.2] ng/mL; P < .001 for linear trend). Similarly, baseline 25-OHD3, FVD, BioD, VDBP, albumin, and calcium levels were lower with higher BMI, while PTH level was higher (all P < .001 for linear trend). Compared with placebo, randomization to vitamin D supplementation was associated with an increase in total 25-OHD, 25-OHD3, FVD, and BioD levels compared with placebo at 2 years' follow-up, but increases were significantly lower at higher BMI categories (all treatment effect interactions P < .001). Supplementation did not substantially change VDBP, albumin, PTH, or calcium levels. + + Conclusions and Relevance: In this randomized cohort study, vitamin D supplementation increased serum vitamin D-related biomarkers, with a blunted response observed for participants with overweight or obesity at baseline. These longitudinal findings suggest that BMI may be associated with modified response to vitamin D supplementation and may in part explain the observed diminished outcomes of supplementation for various health outcomes among individuals with higher BMI. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Inflammation is considered as a key risk factor mediating the adverse health outcomes in obesity. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: We compared circulating levels of thirteen major cytokines and adipokines and the expression profiles of fifteen pro-inflammatory and two anti-inflammatory genes in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in a series of 16 MHO patients and in 32 MUO patients that underwent bariatric surgery. MHO was defined according to the most applied definition in current literature. Serum levels of a large set of major cytokines and adipokines did not differ between MHO and MUO patients (p >= 0.15). Analyses of the expression profile of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue failed to show differences between MHO and MUO patients (p >= 0.07). Sensitivity analyses applying two additional definitions of MHO confirmed the results of the primary analysis. + + CONCLUSION: In a series of metabolically healthy obese patients neither circulating levels of major cytokines and adipokines nor the gene expression profile of a large set of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes in subcutaneous and visceral fat differed from those in metabolically unhealthy obese patients.

TyG index was calculated as Ln[fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) x fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Logistic regression model was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Mediation analysis was performed to examine the contribution of the TyG index to the association of obesity-hypertension incidence. During a median follow-up of 6 years, 2073 subjects developed hypertension. In multivariate logistic model adjusted for age, sex, alcohol drinking, smoking, physical activity and education, monthly income, family history of hypertension, TC, and HDL-C, the risk of hypertension was 1.14 (1.07-1.22) for per-SD increase in TyG. After additional controlling for obesity, this association was nonsignificant (1.06, 0.99-1.13) and (1.05, 0.99-1.13) for BMI and WC, respectively. Increasing trends were found for hypertension incidence as the TyG change increased, with or without adjustment for obesity (all Ptrend < 0.05). With per-SD increment in TyG change, the risks of hypertension incidence were 1.14 (1.07-1.22) for absolute TyG change, and 1.15 (1.08-1.22) for relative TyG change in multivariate logistic model; the results were significant after further adjustment for BMI or WC, respectively. The TyG index partially mediated the obesity-incident hypertension association: 6.84% for BMI and 6.68% for WC, respectively. + + CONCLUSIONS: Elevated TyG index and its dynamic change were positively associated with risk of incident hypertension in rural Chinese population, and the TyG index may play a partially mediating role in obesity-related incident hypertension.

This study prospectively evaluated the effect of overweight on the concentration of symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and creatinine in a cohort of healthy cats. + + METHODS: Forty healthy adult cats were included, 14 with a body condition score (BCS) = 5 and 26 with a BCS > 5. Cats were examined every 6 months, for up to 12 months. SDMA and creatinine were measured at baseline and follow-up. + + RESULTS: No effect was found for time of follow-up (p = 0.072), overweight (p = 0.9442) or their interaction (p = 0.902) on SDMA, though a significant effect was found for age (p < 0.001) [older cats showing higher SDMA] and sex (p = 0.007) [male cats showing higher SDMA]. Regarding creatinine, no effect for time (p = 0.671), age (p = 0.061), overweight (p = 0.319) or the latter's interaction (p = 0.386) were found. + + CONCLUSIONS: In the short term, markers of renal function did not show an association with overweight. The role of obesity in feline kidney function still warrants further evaluation. Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

Growing evidence demonstrates the efficacy of the ketogenic diet (KD) for weight loss, but there may be some adverse side effects such as dyslipidemia and hepatic steatosis. Aerobic exercise is a widely recognized approach for improving these metabolic markers. Here we explored the combined impacts of KD and moderate aerobic exercise for an 8-week intervention on body weight and fat loss, serum biomarkers, and hepatic lipid metabolism in a mouse model of high-fat diet-induced obesity. Both KD and KD combined with exercise significantly reduced body weight and fat mass. No significant adverse effects of KD were observed in serum biomarkers or hepatic lipid storage, except for an increase in circulating triglyceride level. However, aerobic exercise lowered serum triglyceride levels, and further ameliorated serum parameters, and hepatic steatosis in KD-fed mice. Moreover, gene and protein expression analysis indicated that KD combined with exercise was associated with increased expression of lipolysis-related genes and protein levels, and reduced expression of lipogenic genes relative to KD without exercise. Overall, our findings for mice indicate that further work on humans might reveal that KD combined with moderate aerobic exercise could be a promising therapeutic strategy for obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Triglycerides). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med23&DO=10.3390%2fnu15010251 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Yan&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Ketogenic+Diet+Combined+with+Moderate+Aerobic+Exercise+Training+Ameliorates+White+Adipose+Tissue+Mass%2C+Serum+Biomarkers%2C+and+Hepatic+Lipid+Metabolism+in+High-Fat+Diet-Induced+Obese+Mice.&volume=15&issue=1&spage=&epage=&date=2023&doi=10.3390%2Fnu15010251&pmid=36615908&sid=OVID:medline + +<317> +Unique Identifier + 36609276 +Title + Fatty acid-binding protein-4 (FABP4) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) as predictive values for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). +Source + Lipids in Health & Disease. 22(1):1, 2023 Jan 06. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Wagner J; Kumar Y; Lautenbach A; von Kroge P; Wolter S; Mann O; Izbicki J; Gagliani N; Dupree A +Authors Full Name + Wagner, Jonas; Kumar, Yogesh; Lautenbach, Anne; von Kroge, Philipp; Wolter, Stefan; Mann, Oliver; Izbicki, Jakob; Gagliani, Nicola; Dupree, Anna. +Institution + Wagner, Jonas.

Noninvasive tests for NAFLD/NASH exist, but they are unreliable and thus liver biopsy remains the standard for diagnosis and new noninvasive diagnostic approaches are of great interest. The aim of this study was to test whether the serum levels of fatty acid-binding protein-4 (FABP4) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) could be used as a diagnostic tool for NASH. + + METHODS: Patients who underwent bariatric surgery and simultaneous liver biopsy were identified. Biopsies were assigned a NAFLD activity score (NAS). MMP9- and FABP4- Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs) on serum samples were performed. The serum levels of FABP4/MMP9 were compared and different models to predict NASH were developed. + + RESULTS: A total of 84 patients were included, 28 patients (33.3%) were diagnosed with NASH. Higher concentrations of MMP9 in NASH patients (p < 0.01) were detected. FABP4 concentrations were not significantly increased. A moderate correlation between the NAS and MMP9 concentrations (r = 0.32, P < 0.01) was observed. The neural network model fit best with the dataset, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 83% and an accuracy of 88%. + + CONCLUSION: Serum MMP9 levels are increased in patients with NASH and should routinely be measured in patients with obesity, but further investigations are needed to improve noninvasive NASH diagnosis.

Monitoring oxidative status is an early and valuable means of obesity control as it is a marker of weight loss, which leads to a reduction in oxidative status or injury potential. The objective of this study was to investgate the changes in the concentrations of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) in obese female dogs subjected to an 8-week weight-loss program. We included obese female dogs without comorbidities and with body condition scores (BCS) of 8 and 9 out of 9. In addition to TBARS and SDMA assessments, laboratory tests of blood and urine (blood count; levels of serum biochemistry; albumin, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, urea, triglycerides, cholesterol, and glucose; urinalysis; and albuminuria), systolic blood pressure, and hormone concentrations (insulin, cortisol, and free thyroxine) were carried out before and after the weight-loss program. All the obese dogs presented high TBARS levels. After the program, the dogs showed significant reductions in TBARS (P = 0.005) and SDMA (P = 0.0013). In conclusion, obese female dogs were prone to lipid peroxidation and the TBARS and SDMA levels decreased after the 8-week weight-loss program.

La surveillance de l'etat oxydatif est un moyen precoce et precieux de controle de l'obesite car il s'agit d'un marqueur de perte de poids, ce qui entraine une reduction de l'etat oxydatif ou du potentiel de blessure. L'objectif de cette etude etait d'etudier les modifications des concentrations de substances reactives a l'acide thiobarbiturique (TBARS) et de dimethylarginine symetrique (SDMA) chez des chiennes obeses soumises a un programme d'amaigrissement de huit semaines. Nous avons inclus des chiennes obeses sans comorbidites et avec des scores d'etat corporel (BCS) de 8 et 9 sur 9. En plus des evaluations TBARS et SDMA, des tests de laboratoire sur le sang et l'urine (numeration sanguine; niveaux de biochimie serique; albumine, alanine aminotransferase, phosphatase alcaline, creatinine, uree, triglycerides, cholesterol et glucose; analyse d'urine; et albuminurie), la pression arterielle systolique et les concentrations hormonales (insuline, cortisol et thyroxine libre) ont ete effectuees avant et apres le programme de perte de poids. Tous les chiens obeses presentaient des niveaux eleves de TBARS. Apres le programme, les chiens ont montre des reductions significatives de TBARS (P = 0,005) et de SDMA (P = 0,0013).

However, the role of metabolic syndrome in the pathophysiology of heart failure is not well understood. We therefore investigated the clinical and biomarker correlates of metabolic syndrome in patients with heart failure. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: In 1103 patients with heart failure, we compared the biomarker expression using a panel of 363 biomarkers among patients with (n = 468 [42%]) and without (n = 635 [58%]) metabolic syndrome. Subsequently, a pathway overrepresentation analysis was performed to identify key biological pathways. Findings were validated in an independent cohort of 1433 patients with heart failure of whom 615 (43%) had metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome was defined as the presence of three or more of five criteria, including central obesity, elevated serum triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, insulin resistance and hypertension. The most significantly elevated biomarkers in patients with metabolic syndrome were leptin (log2 fold change 0.92, p = 5.85 x 10-21 ), fatty acid-binding protein 4 (log2 fold change 0.61, p = 1.21 x 10-11 ), interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (log2 fold change 0.47, p = 1.95 x 10-13 ), tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11a (log2 fold change 0.35, p = 4.16 x 10-9 ), and proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret (log2 fold change 0.31, p = 4.87 x 10-9 ). Network analysis identified 10 pathways in the index cohort and 6 in the validation cohort, all related to inflammation. The primary overlapping pathway in both the index and validation cohorts was up-regulation of the natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity pathway. + + CONCLUSION: Metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent in heart failure and is associated with biomarkers and pathways relating to obesity, lipid metabolism and immune responses underlying chronic inflammation.

Here to identify PBMC transcriptomic biomarkers predictive of metabolic impairment related to increased adiposity is aimed. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: The study analyzed the global PBMC transcriptome in metabolically healthy (normoglycemic) volunteers with overweight-obesity (OW-OB, n = 12), and in subjects with metabolically obese normal-weight (MONW, n = 5) phenotype, in comparison to normal-weight (NW, n = 12) controls. The study identifies 1072 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in OW-OB versus NW and 992 in MONW versus NW. Hierarchical clustering of the top 100 DEGs clearly distinguishes OW-OB and MONW from NW. Remarkably, the OW-OB and MONW phenotypes share 257 DEGs regulated in the same direction. The top up-regulated gene CXCL8, coding for interleukin 8, with a role in obesity-related pathologies, is of special interest as a potential marker for predicting increased metabolic risk. CXCL8 expression is increased mainly in the MONW group and correlated directly with C-reactive protein levels. + + CONCLUSIONS: PBMC gene expression analysis of CXCL8 or a pool of DEGs may be used to identify early metabolic risk in an apparently healthy population regardless of their BMI, i.e., subjects with OW-OB or MONW phenotype and to apply adequate and personalized nutritional preventive strategies.

However, the roles of adipose tissue distribution and radiodensity in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic effect of adiposity and adipose tissue radiodensities in patients with mCRC. + + METHODS: Patients with mCRC who received first-line palliative chemotherapy and had a computed tomography (CT) scan at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) level, admitted between January 2010 and December 2018, were sequentially enrolled. Body composition was assessed using CT-derived measurements. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to determine prognostic values. + + RESULTS: The study included 237 patients. Cox analyses demonstrated that high subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) index was associated with a lower risk for death (hazard ratio [HR], 0.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.29-0.88; Ptrend < 0.025). There was no significant association between visceral adipose tissue (VAT) index tertiles and overall survival. However, high VAT and SAT radiodensities were significantly associated with increased mortality (HR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.12-2.89; Ptrend < 0.030 and HR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.19-2.86; Ptrend < 0.021, respectively). + + CONCLUSIONS: A higher SAT index in patients with mCRC was associated with a favorable overall survival outcome, whereas higher SAT and VAT radiodensities were associated with an increased risk for death, supporting that early nutritional intervention may improve mCRC prognosis.

Forty-five patients met the inclusion criteria and were assigned into three arms: the lean arm (n = 15) women who received letrozole 2.5 mg/day, the control arm (n = 15) overweight/obese women who received letrozole 2.5 mg/day, and the metformin arm (n = 15) overweight/obese women who received letrozole 2.5 mg/day plus metformin (2000 +/- 500 mg/day). The intervention duration was 6 months. Blood samples were obtained at baseline and 6 months after intervention for the measurement of serum estradiol, leptin, osteocalcin levels, fasting blood glucose concentration, and serum insulin. + + RESULTS: After the intervention and as compared to the control arm, the metformin arm showed a significantly lower ratio to the baseline (significant reduction) for estradiol (p = 0.0433), leptin (p < 0.0001), fasting blood glucose (p = 0.0128), insulin (p = 0.0360), osteocalcin serum levels (p < 0.0001), and the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance "HOMA-IR" value (p = 0.0145). There was a non-significant variation in the lactate ratio to the baseline among the three study arms (p = 0.5298). + + CONCLUSION: Metformin may exert anti-cancer activity by decreasing the circulating estradiol, leptin, and insulin. Metformin might represent a safe and promising adjuvant therapy to letrozole in overweight/obese postmenopausal women with breast cancer. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05053841/Registered September 23, 2021 - Retrospectively.

Steatosis/fibrosis were determined by HSI (<30 ruled out, >36 steatosis) and FIB-4 (<1.3 ruled out, >2.67 fibrosis), respectively. + + RESULTS: The sample included 213 patients (46.9% women) with a median age of 64 (19) years. The median baseline body mass index and weight were 36.1 (8.4) kg/m2 and 98 (26.9) kg, respectively. A total of 99.9% had HSI values indicating steatosis, with a mean HSI of 47.9 (8.2). Additionally, 10.8% had fibrosis (FIB-4 > 2.67) and 42.72% had values in intermediate ranges (FIB-4 1.3-2.67). At 24 weeks, there was a significant reduction in HSI (-2.36 (95%CI 1.83-2.9) p < 0.00001) and FIB-4 (-0.075 (95%CI 0.015-0.14) p < 0.016), mainly related to declines in body weight, triglyceride levels, insulin resistance (estimated by the triglyceride-glucose index), and liver enzymes. + + CONCLUSION: These results show that weekly subcutaneous semaglutide had a beneficial effect on liver steatosis that went beyond glucose control. Its effects were mainly related to weight loss, a decline in biomarkers, and improvements in insulin sensitivity. For many patients, early detection is essential for improving MAFLD outcomes and may allow for selecting the most efficient treatment options. Copyright © 2022.

For the meta-analysis, a fixed-effects model was used. + + RESULTS: Twenty-seven randomized clinical trials (representing >2560 participants) were included. Over 78% of the enrolled participants had >=1 associated CVD risk factor, whereas <22% were healthy. In the meta-analysis, marine n-3 supplements (dose range, 0.37-1.9 g/d) significantly increased pro-inflammatory lysophosphatidylcholines (lyso-PCs; for lyso-PC(16:0): mean, +0.52 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.02-1.01] microM; for lyso-PC(18:0): mean, +0.58 [95%CI, 0.09-1.08] microM) in obese participants. Additionally, n-3 supplementation (1-5.56 g/d) decreased plasma Lp-PLA2 mass, a well-known inflammation marker, in healthy (-0.35 [95%CI, -0.59 to -0.10] ng/mL), dyslipidemic (-0.36 [95%CI, -0.47 to -0.25] ng/mL), and stable coronary artery disease participants (-0.52 [95%CI, -0.91 to -0.12] ng/mL). + + CONCLUSIONS: Daily n-3 provided as EPA+DHA supplements and consumed from 1 to 6 months reduced plasma Lp-PLA2 mass in healthy participants and those with CVD and CVD risk factors, suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect. However, the saturated lyso-PC response to n-3 was impaired in obese participants. + + SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO registration no. CRD42021218335. Copyright © The Author(s) 2022.

The disulfide form, cystine, enhanced human adipogenesis and correlated with total fat mass in a Middle-Eastern cohort. In 35 European adults with overweight (88.6% women) and with dual-X-ray absorptiometry measurements of regional fat, we investigated how cystine compared to other free disulfides in their association with total regional adiposity, plasma lipid and glucose biomarkers, and adipose tissue lipid enzyme mRNA (n = 19). Most total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) (78%) was protein-bound; 63% of total glutathione (tGSH) was reduced. tCys was 49% protein-bound, 30% mixed-disulfide, 15% cystine, and 6% reduced. Controlling for age and lean mass, cystine and total free cysteine were the fractions most strongly associated with android and total fat: 1% higher cystine predicted 1.97% higher android fat mass (95% CI 0.64, 3.31) and 1.25% (0.65, 2.98) higher total fat mass (both p = 0.005). A positive association between tCys and apoB (beta: 0.64%; 95% CI 0.17, 1.12%, p = 0.009) was apparently driven by free cysteine and cystine; cystine was also inversely associated with the HDL-associated apolipoprotein A1 (beta: -0.57%; 95% CI -0.96, -0.17%, p = 0.007). No independent positive associations with adiposity were noted for tGSH or tHcy fractions. Plasma cystine correlated with CPT1a mRNA (Spearman's r = 0.68, p = 0.001). In conclusion, plasma cystine-but not homocysteine or glutathione disulfides-is associated with android adiposity and an atherogenic plasma apolipoprotein profile. The role of cystine in human adiposity and cardiometabolic risk deserves investigation. ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers: NCT02647970 and NCT03629392. Copyright © 2022.

Cross-sectional anthropometric and clinical laboratory data from a multi-site, international cohort of individuals with DS were analyzed to determine cardiometabolic risk by reporting observed distributions of cardiometabolic biomarkers in overweight/obese individuals with DS throughout the lifespan. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses by age categories determined the distributive percentiles for cardiometabolic biomarkers and tested for adiposity as a predictor of CR. Across seven DS clinics, data were collected on 240 patients between the ages of 3 and 63 years, with one quarter overweight and three quarters obese among children and nearly all adults being obese. In children and adults, most cardiometabolic biomarker profiles showed distributive values within normal ranges. Blood lipids were positively associated with body mass index (BMI) in children (high density lipid-cholesterol, p = 0.01; low density lipid-cholesterol, p = 0.02). Levels of hs-CRP were elevated in both children and adults, with BMI positively associated with hs-CRP in adults with DS (p = 0.04). Liver enzyme values were positively associated with BMI in children and adults. The data suggest that in contrast to the general population, in individuals with Down syndrome, being overweight and obese does not appear to confer a significantly increased risk for cardiometabolic disease by biomarker profile. Individuals with DS who are overweight/obese appear to have unique cardiometabolic profiles unrelated to adiposity, notable for increased hs-CRP and normal HA1c levels.

Identifying periconceptional biomarkers of pathways affected by maternal obesity can unravel pathophysiologic mechanisms and identify individuals at risk of adverse clinical outcomes. The literature was systematically reviewed to identify periconceptional biomarkers of the endocrine, inflammatory and one-carbon metabolic pathways influenced by maternal obesity. A search was conducted in Embase, Ovid Medline All, Web of Science Core Collection and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases, complemented by manual search in PubMed until December 31st, 2020. Eligible studies were those that measured biomarker(s) in relation to maternal obesity, overweight/obesity or body mass index (BMI) during the periconceptional period (14 weeks preconception until 14 weeks post conception). The ErasmusAGE score was used to assess the quality of included studies. Fifty-one articles were included that evaluated over 40 biomarkers. Endocrine biomarkers associated with maternal obesity included leptin, insulin, thyroid stimulating hormone, adiponectin, progesterone, free T4 and human chorionic gonadotropin. C-reactive protein was associated with obesity as part of the inflammatory pathway, while the associated one-carbon metabolism biomarkers were folate and vitamin B12. BMI was positively associated with leptin, C-reactive protein and insulin resistance, and negatively associated with Free T4, progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin. Concerning the remaining studied biomarkers, strong conclusions could not be established due to limited or contradictory data. Future research should focus on determining the predictive value of the optimal set of biomarkers for their use in clinical settings. The most promising biomarkers include leptin, adiponectin, human chorionic gonadotropin, insulin, progesterone and CRP. Copyright © 2022.

We used genomics to separate the effect of adiposity from that of metabolic dysregulations to examine whether the link between obesity and AES is dependent on the presence of metabolic dysregulations. + + METHOD: Data were from NEO (n = 5734 individuals) and NESDA (n = 2238 individuals) cohorts, in which the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS-SR30) was assessed. AES profile was based on four symptoms: increased appetite, increased weight, low energy level, and leaden paralysis. We estimated associations between AES and two genetic risk scores (GRS) indexing increasing total body fat with (metabolically unhealthy adiposity, GRS-MUA) and without (metabolically healthy adiposity, GRS-MHA) metabolic dysregulations. + + RESULTS: We validated that both GRS-MUA and GRS-MHA were associated with higher total body fat in NEO study, but divergently associated with biomarkers of metabolic health (e.g., fasting glucose and HDL-cholesterol) in both cohorts. In the pooled results, per standard deviation, GRS-MUA was specifically associated with a higher AES score (beta = 0.03, 95%CI: 0.01; 0.05), while there was no association between GRS-MHA and AES (beta = -0.01, 95%CI: -0.03; 0.01). + + CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the established link between adiposity and AES profile emerges in the presence of metabolic dysregulations, which may represent the connecting substrate between the two conditions.

In the quest for identifying new more robust diagnostic markers, whole-organ analysis of chemical elements is a promising approach for identifying candidate proxies of obesity status in the system. + + METHODS: Total Reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) coupled with biochemical assays, chemometrics and statistical validation was used as a new integrated pipeline for marker identification in external ear samples of obese animals. The specimens were taken from obese animals fed a high calorie diet as well as from lean intact animals fed a standard diet. + + RESULTS: The most significant differences in the content of K, Fe, Br, and Rb between the studied groups of the animals were identified. However, with the methodology applied Rb was found the most robust biochemical discriminator of early-stage obesity effects, as validated by the logistic regression model. We observed no relationship between the levels of the elements consumed by the animals and their apparent content in the earlobe tissue samples. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary study confirms that obesity alters tissue trace metal metabolism and shows the proposed new approach as an accurate and reliable methodology for detecting tissue elemental obesity-related alterations. + + GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: This result can be of practical significance for designing new point-of-care systems for obesity screening tests, taking advantage of direct/indirect Rb measurements.

The low-grade systemic inflammatory status associated with obesity could be one of the connections with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Thus, we aimed to assess the relationship between inflammatory and cardiovascular biomarkers and the development of MetS during puberty. Seventy-five children from the PUBMEP study (33 females), aged 4-18 years, were included. Cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers were measured in the prepubertal and pubertal stage, including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), leptin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha), interleukin 8 (IL8), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), total plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (tPAI), resistin, adiponectin, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1). MetS was diagnosed at each measurement point. Mixed-effects and logistic regressions were performed. Those children with MetS in puberty presented higher prepubertal values of several cardiometabolic biomarkers in comparison to those without MetS (z-score body mass index (zBMI), waist circumference, insulin, HOMA-IR, leptin, and tPAI (p < 0.05)). For prepubertal children with obesity, the odds of developing MetS in puberty were significantly higher in those having high zBMI (OR = 4.27; CI: 1.39-22.59) or high concentrations of tPAI (OR = 1.19; CI: 1.06-1.43). + + CONCLUSION: Those with obesity with higher prepubertal tPAI plasma levels had 19% higher odds of having MetS at puberty highlighting the existence of association between MetS, obesity, and inflammation already in puberty. Thus, assessing cardiometabolic and inflammatory status in children with obesity already at prepuberty is key to avoiding future comorbidities. + + WHAT IS KNOWN: * Inflammation, metabolic syndrome, and obesity may have their onset in childhood. * Puberty is a life stage characterized for an increased cardiovascular risk. + + WHAT IS NEW: * Prepuberty state could be an early indicator of future cardiometabolic risk. * Children with obesity and high total plasminogen have higher odds of future metabolic syndrome.

Recent epidemiological studies have reported specific alterations in circulating BA profiles in certain disease states, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and Alzheimer disease (AD). In the past decade, breakthroughs have been made regarding the translation of BA profiling into clinical use for disease prediction. In this review, we summarize and synthesize recent data on variation in circulating BA profiles in patients with various diseases to evaluate the value of these biomarkers in human plasma for early diagnosis. + + EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: This review is based on a collection of primary and review literature gathered from a PubMed search for BAs, obesity, T2DM, insulin resistance (IR), NAFLD, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), colon cancer, and AD, among other keywords. + + EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Individuals with obesity, T2DM, HCC, CCA, or AD showed specific alterations in circulating BA profiles. These alterations may have existed long before the initial diagnosis of these diseases. The intricate relationship between obesity, IR, and NAFLD complicates the establishment of clear and independent associations between BA profiles and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Alterations in the levels of total BAs and several BA species were seen across the entire spectrum of NAFLD, demonstrating significant increases with the worsening of histological features. + + CONCLUSIONS: Aberrant circulating BA profiles are an early event in the onset and progression of obesity, T2DM, HCC, and AD. The pleiotropic effects of BAs explain these broad connections. Circulating BA profiles could provide a basis for the development of biomarkers for the diagnosis and prevention of a wide range of diseases. Copyright © The Author(s) 2022.

Patients were divided into a development cohort and a validation cohort. Cachexia was defined as weight loss > 5% in 6 months or BMI < 20 and weight loss > 2%. According to the above definitions, patients were divided into cachexia and non-cachexia groups. Results of the clinical laboratory tests for metabolic levels and organ and tissue-specific FDG uptake obtained from the cachexia and non-cachexia groups were compared statistically. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent variables associated with cachexia in the development cohort for generating the regression model. The performance of the model was tested using the data from a validation cohort and evaluated by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). + + RESULTS: Based on the data from the development cohort of 286 patients and a validation cohort of 104 patients, it is found that age, white blood cell count, peak standardized uptake value (SUV) of the liver, and minimum SUV of lean body mass of visceral fat and subcutaneous fat were independently associated with cachexia. The model incorporating these variables reached an AUC of 0.777 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.721, 0.833) in the development cohort and an AUC of 0.729 (95% CI: 0.629, 0.829) in the validation cohort. + + CONCLUSION: Organ and tissue-specific abnormal glucose metabolism as measured by PET/CT can be used as a biomarker for cancer-associated cachexia. + + KEY POINTS: * Patients with cancer-associated cachexia have reduced FDG uptake in the liver and increased FDG uptake in visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. * FDG uptake of the liver, visceral fat, and subcutaneous fat can be independent risk factors for identifying cancer-associated cachexia. * Cancer-associated cachexia can be classified using the model that incorporates age, white blood cell count, FDG uptake of the liver, and visceral and subcutaneous fat can diagnose with an AUC of 0.729.

This was a randomized, double-blind, crossover study. The study included obese women over 18 years old who had no comorbidities. In the first moment, patients were instructed to take 2 capsules of placebo or GT (738 mg) at 10:00 p.m. and to fast overnight. The next morning, a blood sample was collected, and an HFHS meal was offered to the patients. Another blood sample was collected 5 hours after the meal. In the second moment, patients who received placebo in the first moment now received the GT and vice-versa. Serum inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers were measured, and circulating levels of miRNA were evaluated. Fifteen women with mean age of 35.5+/-9.9 years were included in the final analysis. There was no difference regarding inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers. However, patients who consumed GT had lower circulating expression of 62 miRNAs compared with patients who did not consume GT. Predictive analysis of target genes showed 1,757 targets regulated by the 62 miRNAs. Notably, 5 miRNAs (miR-1297, miR-192-5p, miR-373-3p, miR-595 and miR-1266-5p) regulate genes associated with TGF-beta, CARM1, RSK, and BMP pathways. Our study showed that GT inhibited the expression of miRNAs induced by HFHS meal intake. These results shed light on the mechanisms involved in the beneficial effects of GT ingestion.

During gestation, and particularly during gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the levels of several miRNAs are altered. Worldwide the incidence of GDM is increasing, in part driven by the current obesity epidemic. This is a point of public health concern because offspring of women with GDM frequently suffer from short- and long-term complications of maternal GDM. This has prompted the investigation of whether levels of specific miRNA species, detected early in gestation, may be used as diagnostic or prognostic markers for the development of GDM. Here, we summarize the mechanisms of RNA secretion and review circulating miRNAs associated with GDM. Several miRNAs are associated with GDM: miR-29a-3p and miR-29b-3p are generally upregulated in GDM pregnancies, also when measured prior to the development of GDM, while miR-16-5p is consistently upregulated in GDM pregnancies, especially in late gestation. miR-330-3p in circulation is increased in late gestation GDM women, especially in those with poor insulin secretion. miR-17-5p, miR-19a/b-3p, miR-223-3p, miR-155-5p, miR-125-a/b-5p, miR-210-3p and miR-132 are also associated with GDM, but less so and with more contradictory results reported. There could be a publication bias as miRNAs identified early are investigated the most, suggesting that it is likely that additional, more recently detected miRNAs could also be associated with GDM. Thus, circulating miRNAs show potential as biomarkers of GDM diagnosis or prognosis, especially multiple miRNAs containing prediction algorithms show promise, but further studies are needed. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Circulating MicroRNA). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MicroRNAs). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

All the subjects underwent an oral glucose tolerance test. Magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction was used to measure fat accumulation in the liver, pancreas and abdomen. Impaired glucose regulation (IGR) was defined as the presence of prediabetes or diabetes. + + RESULTS: Liver fat content (LFC) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) were higher in overweight/obese subjects with diabetes than in those with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). No significant differences were observed in the pancreas fat content and subcutaneous fat area between subjects with NGT and IGR. LFC was an independent risk factor of IGR (odds ratio = 1.824 per standard deviation unit, 95% CI 1.242-2.679, p = .002). Compared with the lowest tertile of LFC, the multivariate-adjusted odds ratio for the prevalence of IGR in the highest tertile was 2.842 (95% CI 1.205-6.704). However, no association was observed between the VAT per standard deviation increment and tertiles after adjusting for multiple factors. For discordant visceral and liver fat phenotypes, the high LFC-low VAT and high LFC-high VAT groups had a higher prevalence of IGR than the low LFC-low VAT group. However, there was no difference in the prevalence of IGR between the low LFC-low VAT and low LFC-high VAT groups. + + CONCLUSION: Compared with visceral and pancreatic fat content, LFC is a superior risk biomarker for IGR in overweight/obese subjects.

FibroScan R served to assess NAFLD by controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), and fibrosis by liver stiffness (LS). Patients with LS above 7 kPa were excluded. APRI and FIB-4 were used as additional serum biomarkers of fibrosis. The stable-isotope dynamic breath test was used to assess the hepatic efficiency of portal extraction (as DOB15) and microsomal metabolization (as cPDR30) of orally-administered (13C)-methacetin. + + RESULTS: NAFLD occurred in 45%, 65.9%, and 91.3% of normal weight, overweight, and obese subjects, respectively. Biomarkers of liver fibrosis were comparable across subgroups, and LS was higher in obese, than in normal weight subjects. DOB15 was 23.2 +/- 1.5 in normal weight subjects, tended to decrease in overweight (19.9 +/- 1.0) and decreased significantly in obese subjects (16.9 +/- 1.3, P = 0.008 vs. normal weight). Subjects with NAFLD had lower DOB15 (18.7 +/- 0.9 vs. 22.1 +/- 1.2, P = 0.03) but higher LS (4.7 +/- 0.1 vs. 4.0 +/- 0.2 kPa, P = 0.0003) than subjects without NAFLD, irrespective of fibrosis. DOB15 (but not cPDR30) decreased with increasing degree of NAFLD (R = -0.26; P = 0.01) and LS (R = -0.23, P = 0.03). Patients with T2D showed increased rate of NAFLD than those without T2D but similar LS, DOB15 and cPDR30. + + CONCLUSIONS: Overweight, obesity and liver fat accumulation manifest with deranged portal extraction efficiency of methacetin into the steatotic hepatocyte. This functional alteration occurs early, and irrespective of significant fibrosis and presence of T2D. Copyright © 2022 European Federation of Internal Medicine. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Here, we test whether the volume of distribution approximated by the patients' estimated blood volume (BV) and body mass index (BMI) affect the serum concentrations of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). As a control, we also determine the relationship between BV/BMI and GFAP concentrations in CSF. To confirm earlier findings, we test the same hypotheses for neurofilament light chain (NfL). + + METHODS: NfL and GFAP concentrations were measured in serum and CSF (sNFL/sGFAP and cNFL/cGFAP) in 157 patients (n = 106 with MS phenotype and n = 51 with other neurologic/somatoform diseases). Using multivariate linear regressions, BV was tested in the MS cohort as a predictor for each of the biomarkers while controlling for age, sex, MS phenotype, Expanded Disability Status Scale score, gadolinium-enhancing lesions, and acute relapse. In addition, overweight/obese patients (BMI >=25 kg/m2) were compared with patients with BMI <25 kg/m2 using the general linear model. The analyses were repeated including the neurologic/somatoform controls. + + RESULTS: In the MS cohort, BV predicted sGFAP (s = -0.301, p = 0.014). Overweight/obese patients with MS had lower sGFAP concentrations compared with patients with MS and BMI <25 kg/m2 (F = 4.732, p = 0.032). Repeating the analysis after adding patients with other neurologic/somatoform diseases did not change these findings (s = -0.276, p = 0.009; F = 7.631, p = 0.006). Although sNfL was inversely correlated with BV (r = -0.275, p = 0.006) and body weight (r = -0.258, p = 0.010), those results did not remain significant after adjusting for covariates. BV and BMI were not associated with cGFAP or cNfL concentrations. + + DISCUSSION: These findings support the notion that the volume of distribution of sGFAP approximated by BV and BMI is a relevant variable and should therefore be controlled for when measuring sGFAP in MS, while this might not be necessary when measuring cGFAP concentrations.

Our aim is to summarize research on neurocognitive outcomes in these conditions, advance understanding of how to best support these individuals throughout development, and facilitate future research. + + METHODS: We conducted a narrative review of literature on neurocognitive outcomes in CCHS and ROHHAD, supplemented with previously unpublished data from patients with CCHS and ROHHAD at our Center for Autonomic Medicine in Pediatrics (CAMP). + + RESULTS: Individuals with CCHS and ROHHAD experience a wide range of neurocognitive functioning ranging from above average to below average, but are at particular risk for difficulties with working memory, processing speed, perceptual reasoning, and visuographic skills. An assessment framework emphasizing fluid cognition seems especially appropriate for these conditions. Owing to small cohorts and varied methods of data collection, it has been difficult to identify associations between disease factors (including CCHS PHOX2B genotypes) and cognitive outcomes. However, results suggest that early childhood is a period of particular vulnerability, perhaps due to the disruptive impact of recurrent intermittent hypoxic episodes on brain and cognitive development. + + CONCLUSION: Neurocognitive monitoring is recommended as a component of routine clinical care in CCHS and ROHHAD as a marker of disease status and to ensure that educational support and disability accommodations are provided as early as possible. Collaborative efforts will be essential to obtain samples needed to enhance our understanding of neurocognitive outcomes in CCHS and ROHHAD. Copyright © 2022.

We measured serum levels of selected biomarkers by ELISA. + + RESULTS: Obesity increased serum levels of all the biomarkers; GDM developed in obese women caused a more pronounced increase in the serum levels of BMP-4 and BMP-2, and GHT developed in obese women caused a more pronounced increase in the serum levels of GDF-15. In the women with GDM-, PGDM-, and GHT-complicated obesity, serum levels of MMP-9 and GP39 did not change meaningfully. + + CONCLUSIONS: Obesity and its comorbidities DM and GHT lead to meaningful changes in the studied serum biomarkers. Since obesity has a causal effect on developing numerous conditions, reliable clinical biomarkers are needed to improve the early prediction and diagnosis of high-risk conditions during pregnancy.

Sarcopenia was defined according to EWGSOP criteria (four level from no sarcopenia to severe sarcopenia). Strength and physical performance were evaluated with the handgrip test (HGT) and gait speed test (GST), respectively. CT scan analysis was used to calculate the skeletal muscle index (SMI), intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Measures were adjusted to body mass index (BMI). Complication grading was performed using the Clavien-Dindo classification. A doubly robust estimator with multivariable regression was used to limit bias. + + RESULTS: Sixteen patients presented with sarcopenia. Adjusted to BMI, sarcopenic patients had an increased IMATBMI (0.35 vs. 0.22; p = 0.003) and increased VATBMI (7.85 vs. 6.13; p = 0.048). In multivariable analysis, IMAT was an independent risk factor for minor and severe complications (OR = 1.298; 95% CI [1.031: 1.635] p = 0.027), while an increased SAT area was a protective factor (OR = 0.982; 95% CI [0.969: 0.995] p = 0.007). Twenty-two patients were obese (BMI >=30 kg/m2). While no association was observed between obesity and sarcopenia (according to EWGSOP definition), obese patients had increased IMATBMI (0.31 vs. 0.23; p = 0.010) and VATBMI (8.40 vs. 6.49; p = 0.019). The combination of SAT, VAT and IMAT performed well to anticipate severe complication (AUC = 0.759) while AUC of EWGSOP 2010 and 2019 algorithm were 0.660 and 0.519, respectively. + + DISCUSSION: Non-invasive and imaging related measures of IMAT, SAT and VAT seems to be valuable tools to refine risk-assessment of older patients in surgery and specially to detect myosteatosis in obese ones.

This study aims to investigate the joint effect of air pollutant mixtures on a broad range of cardiometabolic parameters, examine the susceptibility of obese individuals, and determine the role of circulating fatty acids. In this panel study, metabolically healthy normal-weight (MH-NW, n = 49) and obese (MHO, n = 39) adults completed three longitudinal visits (257 person-visits in total). Personal exposure levels of PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, SO2, CO and BC were estimated based on fixed-site monitoring data, time-activity logs and infiltration factor method. Blood pressure, glycemic homeostasis, lipid profiles, systematic inflammation and coagulation biomarkers were measured. Targeted metabolomics was used to quantify twenty-eight plasma free fatty acids (FFAs). Bayesian kernel machine regression models were applied to establish the exposure-response relationships and identify key pollutants. Significant joint effects of measured air pollutants on systematic inflammation and coagulation biomarkers were observed in the MHO group, instead of the MH-NW group. Lipid profiles showed the most significant changes in both groups and O3 contributed the most to the total effect. Specific FFA patterns were identified, and de novo lipogenesis (DNL)-related pattern was most closely related to blood lipid profiles. In particular, interaction analysis suggested that DNL-related FFA pattern augmented the effects of O3 on triglyceride (TG, Pinteraction = 0.040), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, Pinteraction = 0.106) and TG/HDL-C (Pinteraction = 0.020) in the MHO group but not MH-NW group. This modification was further confirmed by interaction analysis with estimated activity of SCD1, a key enzyme in the DNL pathway. Therefore, despite being metabolically healthy, obese subjects have a higher cardiometabolic susceptibility to air pollution, especially O3, and the DNL pathway may represent an intrinsic driver of lipid susceptibility. This study provides new insights into the cardiometabolic susceptibility of obese individuals to air pollution. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier B.V.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis, observed in both MDD and obesity, leads to endotoxemia and inflammatory status, eventually exacerbating depressive symptoms. Manipulation of gut microbiota by prebiotics might help alleviate depression. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of inulin supplementation on psychological outcomes and biomarkers of gut permeability, endotoxemia, inflammation, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in women with obesity and depression on a calorie-restricted diet. In a double-blind randomised clinical trial, forty-five women with obesity and MDD were allocated to receive 10 g/d of either inulin or maltodextrin for 8 weeks; all the patients followed a healthy calorie restricted diet as well. Anthropometric measures, dietary intakes, depression, and serum levels of zonulin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), inflammatory biomarkers (TNF-alpha, IL-10, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, toll-like receptor-4 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), and BDNF were assessed at baseline and end of the study. Weight and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) scores decreased in both groups; between-group differences were non-significant by the end of study (P = 0.333 for body weight and P = 0.500 for HDRS). No between-group differences were observed for the other psychological outcomes and serum biomarkers (P > 0.05). In this short-term study, prebiotic supplementation had no significant beneficial effects on depressive symptoms, gut permeability, or inflammatory biomarkers in women with obesity and depression. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 9005-80-5 (Inulin). 0 (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Prebiotics). +Publication Type + Randomized Controlled Trial.

Its level is elevated in atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in humans. However, little is known about the role of FGF21 in heart failure (HF). HF is a major global health problem with a prevalence that is predicted to rise, especially in ageing populations. Despite improved therapies, mortality due to HF remains high, and given its insidious onset, prediction of its development is challenging for physicians. The emergence of cardiac biomarkers to improve prediction, diagnosis, and prognosis of HF has received much attention over the past decade. Recent studies have suggested FGF21 is a promising biomarker candidate for HF. Preclinical research has shown that FGF21 is involved in the pathophysiology of HF through the prevention of oxidative stress, cardiac hypertrophy, and inflammation in cardiomyocytes. However, in the available clinical literature, FGF21 levels appear to be paradoxically raised in HF, potentially implying a FGF21 resistant state as occurs in obesity. Several potential confounding variables complicate the verdict on whether FGF21 is of clinical value as a biomarker. Further research is thus needed to evaluate whether FGF21 has a causal role in HF, and whether circulating FGF21 can be used as a biomarker to improve the prediction, diagnosis, and prognosis of HF. This review draws from preclinical and clinical studies to explore the role of FGF21 in HF. Copyright © 2022.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not there were differences of inflammatory proteins levels in patients with OSA with and without a certain phenotype so as to explore the associations between inflammation and additional OSA phenotypes. + + METHODS: The literature was systematically screened and available data were collected on levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), C-reactive protein (CRP), and several interleukins (ILs) in patients with OSA with and without a certain phenotype. Overall effect size of standard mean difference (SMD) was used to compare the expression of differences between the two groups. Data analysis was conducted by Review Manager 5.3, and the threshold of p value was set as < 0.05. + + RESULTS: A total of 31 articles were included, covering five traits of obesity, hypertension (HBP), metabolic syndrome (MS), heart disease, and sex. There were elevated levels of TNF-alpha (SMD = 0.63, p = 0.03), CRP (SMD = 0.64, p = 0.0001), and IL-6 (SMD = 0.83, p = 0.008) levels in OSA with obesity. Also, OSA with HBP showed significant increases of TNF-alpha (SMD = 0.36, p = 0.02), CRP (SMD = 0.98, p = 0.01), and IL-6 (SMD = 0.76, p < 0.0001) levels. A higher CRP level was also observed in OSA with MS (SMD = 0.31, p = 0.004) and female sex (SMD = 0.21, p = 0.002). There were no statistical differences for IL-1beta (p = 0.22) and CRP (p = 0.14) levels of OSA with obesity and heart disease respectively compared with OSA without corresponding phenotype. TNF-alpha (p = 0.66) and IL-6 (p = 0.49) levels also lacked statistically significant differences between female and male patients with OSA. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our results revealed that inflammatory proteins TNF-alpha, CRP, and IL-6 levels were higher in obese and hypertensive patients with OSA and CRP levels were higher in OSA with metabolic syndrome, highlighting a link between inflammation and cardiometabolic complications in patients with OSA.

Structural equation modeling was used to establish the model and test the relationships. + + RESULTS: Chronic low-level inflammation was moderately negatively correlated with physical activity (r = -0.326) and function (r = -0.367). Latent regressions showed that higher physical activity is associated with better physical function (unstandardized estimate = 0.600, p < .001) while inflammation negatively affects physical function (unstandardized estimate = -0.139, p < .001), and adiposity was not a predictor in the model (p = 0.055). + + CONCLUSION: For older adults, preserving physical function by participation in physical activity and decreasing chronic inflammation are key preventive health strategies for older adults to maintain independence, with a need to further explore pro and anti-inflammatory biomarkers. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med23&DO=10.1177%2f10998004221111217 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Hlebichuk&issn=1099-8004&title=Biological+Research+for+Nursing&atitle=Physical+Activity%2C+Inflammation%2C+and+Physical+Function+in+Older+Adults%3A+Results+From+the+Health+%26+Retirement+Study.&volume=25&issue=1&spage=24&epage=32&date=2023&doi=10.1177%2F10998004221111217&pmid=35798678&sid=OVID:medline + +<347> +Unique Identifier + 35640116 +Title + Improved outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis with obesity after a weight loss intervention: randomized trial. +Source + Rheumatology. 62(2):565-574, 2023 02 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ranganath VK; La Cava A; Vangala S; Brook J; Kermani TA; Furst DE; Taylor M; Kaeley GS; Carpenter C; Elashoff DA; Li Z +Author NameID + Ranganath, Veena K; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3417-9478 + Kermani, Tanaz A; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7335-7321 + Furst, Daniel E; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7857-2373 + Kaeley, Gurjit S; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1335-3131 +Authors Full Name + Ranganath, Veena K; La Cava, Antonio; Vangala, Sitaram; Brook, Jenny; Kermani, Tanaz A; Furst, Daniel E; Taylor, Mihaela; Kaeley, Gurjit S; Carpenter, Catherine; Elashoff, David A; Li, Zhaoping. +Institution + Ranganath, Veena K.

Forty patients were randomized to the diet intervention (n = 20) or control group (n = 20). Diet intervention consisted of a hypocaloric diet of 1000-1500 kcal/day and high protein meal replacements. Co-primary outcomes included change in DAS28 and power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS)-34. Clinical disease activity, imaging, biomarkers, adipokines and patient-reported outcomes were monitored throughout the trial. Recruitment terminated early. All analyses were based on intent-to-treat for a significance level of 0.05. + + RESULTS: The diet intervention group lost an average 9.5 kg/patient, while the control group lost 0.5 kg (P < 0.001). Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3) improved, serum leptin decreased and serum adiponectin increased significantly within the diet group and between the groups (all P < 0.03). DAS28 decreased, 5.2 to 4.2, within the diet group (P < 0.001; -0.51 [95% CI -1.01, 0.00], P = 0.056, between groups). HAQ-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) improved significantly within the diet group (P < 0.04; P = 0.065 between group). Ultrasound measures and the multi-biomarker disease activity score did not differ between groups (PDUS-34 -2.0 [95% CI -7.00, 3.1], P = 0.46 between groups). + + CONCLUSION: Obese RA patients on the diet intervention achieved weight loss. There were significant between group improvements for RAPID3, adiponectin and leptin levels, and positive trends for DAS28 and HAQ-DI. Longer-term, larger weight loss studies are needed to validate these findings, and will allow for further investigative work to improve the clinical management of obese RA patients. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, https://clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02881307.

Biochemical and anthropometric variables were analyzed according to the staging of MAFLD and obesity phenotype. + + RESULTS: A total of 50 subjects with MAFLD, 62% (n = 31) with steatosis and 38% (n = 19) with steatohepatitis without fibrosis; 36% were classified as metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and 64% as metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUHO), respectively. Mean values of alkaline phosphatase were 85.44 +/- 27.27 vs. 61.92 +/- 17.57 (p = 0.006); gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, 25.77 +/- 15.36 vs. 30.63 +/- 19.49 (p = 0.025); and albumin, 3.99 +/- 0.34 vs. 4.24 +/- 0.23 (p = 0.037), were lower and statistically significant in the MHO group with steatosis. The results show when considering individuals with IR, only AP is a predictor of unhealthy phenotype (B-0.934, 0.848- 1.029, p = 0.031). + + CONCLUSION: MHO individuals with steatosis present lower severe changes related to markers of liver damage and function and AP is considered the predictor of MUHO phenotype. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med23&DO=10.1080%2f07315724.2021.2007427 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Loureiro&issn=2769-7061&title=Journal+of+the+American+Nutrition+Association&atitle=Evaluation+of+Liver+Metabolism+Biomarkers+in+Metabolic+Associated+Fatty+Liver+Disease+According+to+Obesity+Phenotype.&volume=42&issue=2&spage=140&epage=147&date=2023&doi=10.1080%2F07315724.2021.2007427&pmid=35512760&sid=OVID:medline + +<349> +Unique Identifier + 35260034 +Title + Obesity affects type 2 biomarker levels in asthma. +Source + Journal of Asthma. 60(2):385-392, 2023 02. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Sharma V; Ricketts HC; Steffensen F; Goodfellow A; Cowan DC +Author NameID + Sharma, Varun; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0183-3090 +Authors Full Name + Sharma, Varun; Ricketts, Helen Clare; Steffensen, Femke; Goodfellow, Anna; Cowan, Douglas C. +Institution + Sharma, Varun.

Previous trials suggest obesity influences T2-biomarker levels in asthma, though have not accounted for key variables, e.g. inhaled (ICS)/oral corticosteroid (OCS) use. We hypothesized that body mass index (BMI) would affect T2-biomarker levels, after adjusting for covariates. + + METHODS: A retrospective analysis of data from two recent local trials of 153 participants with asthma (102 difficult-to-treat, 51 mild). Measurements included BMI, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and eosinophils. Correlation and regression analysis were performed for each biomarker to describe their relationship with BMI. Data was analyzed overall, and by asthma severity, T2-status and BMI tertile. + + RESULTS: Increasing BMI was associated with reduction in FeNO when stratified by BMI tertile (25 ppb lowest tertile, 18 ppb highest tertile; p = 0.014). Spearmans rank showed a negative correlation between BMI and FeNO in difficult-to-treat asthma (rho= -0.309, p = 0.002). Linear regression adjusting for sex, age, smoking, atopy, allergic/perennial rhinitis, ICS and OCS confirmed BMI as a predictor of FeNO overall (beta= -2.848, p = 0.019). Eosinophils were reduced in the highest BMI tertile versus lowest in difficult-to-treat asthma (0.2x109/L, 0.3x109/L respectively; p = 0.02). + + CONCLUSIONS: Increasing BMI is associated with lower FeNO in asthma when adjusted for relevant covariates, including steroid use. There also appears to be an effect on eosinophil levels. Obesity, therefore, affects T2 biomarker levels with implications for disease endotyping and determination of eligibility for biologic therapy. Whether this is due to masking of underlying T2-high status or development of a truly T2-low endotype requires further research. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 31C4KY9ESH (Nitric Oxide). 0 (Adrenal Cortex Hormones). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med23&DO=10.1080%2f02770903.2022.2051548 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Sharma&issn=0277-0903&title=Journal+of+Asthma&atitle=Obesity+affects+type+2+biomarker+levels+in+asthma.&volume=60&issue=2&spage=385&epage=392&date=2023&doi=10.1080%2F02770903.2022.2051548&pmid=35260034&sid=OVID:medline + +<350> +Unique Identifier + 33843397 +Title + Chemerin levels in metabolic syndrome: a promising biomarker. +Source + Archives of Physiology & Biochemistry. 129(5):1009-1011, 2023 10. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Jialal I +Authors Full Name + Jialal, Ishwarlal. +Institution + Jialal, Ishwarlal.

Inflammation also decreases the concentration of transferrin, the main iron transport protein and a negative acute phase protein, which is indirectly assessed by measuring total iron binding capacity (TIBC). However, the contribution of diet-induced inflammation has not been studied. Data from two studies, namely Diet and Inflammation and Selenium and Inflammation Studies (total n=98) were used to assess the associations among Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII R) scores derived from three-day dietary records, body mass index (BMI=weight[kg]/height[m]2), inflammatory and hematological markers among young adults with normal-weight, overweight or obesity. Subjects' diets were also categorized as less inflammatory diets (LID) and inflammatory diets (ID) using cluster analysis. Independent t-test and regression analyses were used to assess associations in the data. Intakes of iron, proteins, fat, fiber, and calories were higher in the LID group compared to the ID group (p<0.05). Demographic characteristics and concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP) and iron status biomarkers did not differ significantly between the two groups (p>0.05). Higher DII score was associated with increasing CRP (beta+SE=0.23+0.07, p=0.002) and lower TIBC (beta+SE=-8.46+3.44, p=0.02), independent of BMI category. The LID diet was associated with higher TIBC (beta+SE=29.87+10.75, p=0.007) compared to the ID diet. In conclusion, inflammatory diets may impair iron status by reducing the iron binding capacity of transferrin. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + E1UOL152H7 (Iron). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 0 (Transferrin). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2023 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med23&DO=10.1024%2f0300-9831%2fa000697 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Doherty&issn=0300-9831&title=International+Journal+for+Vitamin+%26+Nutrition+Research&atitle=Inflammatory+diets+are+associated+with+lower+total+iron+binding+capacity+in+sera+of+young+adults.&volume=93&issue=1&spage=9&epage=17&date=2023&doi=10.1024%2F0300-9831%2Fa000697&pmid=33593088&sid=OVID:medline + +<352> +Unique Identifier + 36281153 +Title + Comprehensive assessment of neurocognitive function, inflammation markers, and adiposity in treated HIV and control. +Source + Medicine. 101(42):e31125, 2022 Oct 21. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Mouchati C; El Kamari V; Sattar A; Yu J; McComsey GA +Author NameID + Mouchati, Christian; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3958-4125 + McComsey, Grace A; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2690-8888 +Authors Full Name + Mouchati, Christian; El Kamari, Vanessa; Sattar, Abdus; Yu, Jiao; McComsey, Grace A. +Institution + Mouchati, Christian.

Cross-sectional study involving 225 participants (126 PLWH on antiretroviral therapy [ART] and 99 persons without HIV). For the first time in HIV, we used Cognivue R, an food and drug administration (FDA)-approved computer-based test to assess cognitive function. The test was calibrated to individuals' unique cognitive ability and measured 6 cognitive domains and 2 performance parameters. Markers of inflammation, immune activation, insulin resistance, and body fat composition (using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan) were collected. Classical t tests, chi-square tests, and spearman correlations were used to compare and explore relationships between variables. Inverse probability weighting adjusted average treatment effect models were performed to evaluate the differences between PLWH and persons without HIV, adjusting for age, race, sex, and heroin use. Overall, 64% were male, 46% were Black, with a mean age of 43 years. Among PLWH, 83% had an undetectable HIV-1 RNA level (<=20 copies/mL). Compared persons without HIV, PLWH performed poorer across 4 domains: visuospatial (P = .035), executive function (P = .029), naming/language (P = .027), and abstraction (P = .018). In addition, PLWH had a significantly longer processing speed time compared to controls (1686.0 ms vs 1606.0 ms [P = .007]). In PLWH, lower cognitive testing domain scores were associated with higher inflammatory markers (high sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP]) and with higher total fat and visceral adipose tissue (P < .05).

Most of the systematic studies currently focuses on individual omics aspect and provide insightful yet limited knowledge about the comprehensive and complex crosstalk between various omics levels. + + SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Therefore, we performed a most comprehensive trans-omics study with various omics data from 104 subjects, to identify interactions/networks and particularly causal regulatory relationships within and especially those between omic molecules with the purpose to discover molecular genetic mechanisms underlying obesity etiology in vivo in humans. + + RESULTS: By applying differentially analysis, we identified 8 differentially expressed hub genes (DEHGs), 14 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and 12 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) for obesity individually. By integrating those multi-omics biomarkers using Mendelian Randomization (MR) and network MR analyses, we identified 18 causal pathways with mediation effect. For the 20 biomarkers involved in those 18 pairs, 17 biomarkers were implicated in the pathophysiology of obesity or related diseases. + + CONCLUSIONS: The integration of trans-omics and MR analyses may provide us a holistic understanding of the underlying functional mechanisms, molecular regulatory information flow and the interactive molecular systems among different omic molecules for obesity risk and other complex diseases/traits.

The concept of "metabolic dysfunction" is often defined by meeting various combinations of criteria for metabolic syndrome. However, the lack of a unified definition of metabolic dysfunction makes it difficult to compare findings across studies. This review summarizes 129 studies that evaluated variable definitions of metabolic dysfunction in relation to obesity-related cancer risk and mortality after a cancer diagnosis. Strategies for metabolic dysfunction management are also discussed. + + METHODS: A comprehensive search of relevant publications in MEDLINE (PubMed) and Google Scholar with review of references was conducted. + + RESULTS: Metabolic dysfunction, defined as metabolic syndrome diagnosis or any number of metabolic syndrome criteria out of clinical range, inflammatory biomarkers, or markers of metabolic organ function, has been associated with risk for, and mortality from, colorectal, pancreatic, postmenopausal breast, and bladder cancers. Metabolic dysfunction associations with breast and colorectal cancer risk have been observed independently of BMI, with increased risk in individuals with metabolically unhealthy normal weight or overweight/obesity compared with metabolically healthy normal weight. + + CONCLUSION: Metabolic dysfunction is a key risk factor for obesity-related cancer, regardless of obesity status. Nonetheless, a harmonized definition of metabolic dysfunction will further clarify the magnitude of the relationship across cancer types, enable better comparisons across studies, and further guide criteria for obesity-related cancer risk stratification.

We estimated associations of PAT with each CMR metric using linear regression adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, deprivation, smoking, exercise, processed food intake, body mass index, diabetes, hypertension, height cholesterol, waist-to-hip ratio, impedance fat measures, and magnetic resonance imaging abdominal visceral adiposity measures. Higher PAT was independently associated with unhealthy left ventricular (LV) structure (greater wall thickness, higher LV mass, more concentric pattern of LV hypertrophy), poorer LV function (lower LV global function index, lower LV stroke volume), lower left atrial ejection fraction, and lower aortic distensibility. We used multiple mediation analysis to examine the potential mediating effect of cardiometabolic diseases and blood biomarkers (lipid profile, glycaemic control, inflammation) in the PAT-CMR relationships. Higher PAT was associated with cardiometabolic disease (hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol), adverse serum lipids, poorer glycaemic control, and greater systemic inflammation. We identified potential mediation pathways via hypertension, adverse lipids, and inflammation markers, which overall only partially explained the PAT-CMR relationships. + + CONCLUSION: We demonstrate association of PAT with unhealthy cardiovascular structure and function, independent of baseline comorbidities, vascular risk factors, inflammatory markers, and multiple non-invasive and imaging measures of obesity. Our findings support an independent role of PAT in adversely impacting cardiovascular health and highlight CMR-measured PAT as a potential novel imaging biomarker of cardiovascular risk.

Less recognised is the fact that both peptides could affect glucose metabolism. Here, we investigated whether ET-1 and ADM, measured as C-terminal-proET-1 (CT-proET-1) and mid-regional-proADM (MR-proADM), respectively, were associated with incident type 2 diabetes. + + METHODS: Based on the population-based Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment in Europe (BiomarCaRE) Consortium data, we performed a prospective cohort study to examine associations of CT-proET-1 and MR-proADM with incident type 2 diabetes in 12,006 participants. During a median follow-up time of 13.8 years, 862 participants developed type 2 diabetes. The associations were examined in Cox proportional hazard models. Additionally, we performed two-sample Mendelian randomisation analyses using published data. + + RESULTS: CT-proET-1 and MR-proADM were positively associated with incident type 2 diabetes. The multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) [95% confidence intervals (CI)] were 1.10 [1.03; 1.18], P = 0.008 per 1-SD increase of CT-proET-1 and 1.11 [1.02; 1.21], P = 0.016 per 1-SD increase of log MR-proADM, respectively. We observed a stronger association of MR-proADM with incident type 2 diabetes in obese than in non-obese individuals (P-interaction with BMI < 0.001). The HRs [95%CIs] were 1.19 [1.05; 1.34], P = 0.005 and 1.02 [0.90; 1.15], P = 0.741 in obese and non-obese individuals, respectively. Our Mendelian randomisation analyses yielded a significant association of CT-proET-1, but not of MR-proADM with type 2 diabetes risk. + + CONCLUSIONS: Higher concentrations of CT-proET-1 and MR-proADM are associated with incident type 2 diabetes, but our Mendelian randomisation analysis suggests a probable causal link for CT-proET-1 only. The association of MR-proADM seems to be modified by body composition. Copyright © 2022.

Digital fundus photographs were obtained in the last year of the study. Blood samples during the study were processed for inflammatory biomarkers, and these were correlated with obesity tertiles and presence of retinopathy. + + RESULTS: Higher BMI was associated with an increase in circulating levels of metabolic biomarkers including high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), fibrinogen, LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and Apolipoprotein B (ApoB), tumor necrosis factor receptors 1 and 2 (TNFR-1 and -2), interleukin 6 (IL-6), E-selectin, and homocysteine, as well as a decrease in the metabolic risk markers HDL-cholesterol (HDLC), and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (IGFBP-1). Although NPDR risk decreased with increasing obesity, it was not associated with any of the measured biomarkers. + + CONCLUSIONS: Circulating levels of measured biomarkers did not elucidate the "obesity paradox" of decreased NPDR in the most obese participants in the TODAY study. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.govNCT00081328.

Exercise is a nonpharmacological way to reduce the negative health effects of obesity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of exercise on hormone levels, blood-testis barrier, and inflammatory and oxidative biomarkers in rats that became obese due to a high-fat diet (HFD). Male rats received a standard diet (STD group) or a HFD (HFD group) for 18 weeks. During the final 6 weeks of the experiment, swimming exercises (1 h/5 days/week) were given to half of these animals (STD + EXC and HFD + EXC groups). Finally, blood and testicular tissues were analysed by biochemical and histological methods. Body weight, leptin, malondialdehyde, interleukin-6, TNF-alpha and myeloperoxidase levels, apoptotic cells and DNA fragmentation were increased, and testis weight, insulin, FSH, LH, testosterone, glutathione and superoxide dysmutase levels, proliferative cells, ZO-1, occludin, and gap junction protein Cx43 immunoreactivity were decreased in the HFD group. All these hormonal, morphological, oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers were enhanced in the HFD + EXC group. It is thought that exercise protected testicular cytotoxicity by regulating hormonal and oxidant/antioxidant balances and testicular function, inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis, as well as preserving blood-testis barrier.

The WHO estimates the worldwide prevalence of 1.9 billion overweight adults and more than 650 million people with obesity. These alarming data highlight the high and growing prevalence of obesity and represent a risk factor for the development and aggravation of other chronic diseases, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that is frequently considered the hepatic outcome of type 2 diabetes. The use of non-pharmacological therapies such as food supplements, nutraceuticals, and natural integrative therapies has grown as an alternative tool for obesity-related diseases compared to conventional medications. However, it is a still little explored research field and lacks scientific evidence of therapeutic effectiveness. Considering this, the aim is to evaluate whether a new nutraceutical supplement composition can improve and supply essential mineral nutrients, providing an improvement of obesity-related metabolic and endocrine parameters. + + Methods: Sedentary volunteers (women and men) with body mass index (BMI) <=34.9 kg/m2 were divided into two groups: Novel Nutraceutical Supplement_(S) (n = 30) and Novel Nutraceutical Supplement (n = 29), differing in the absence (S) or presence of silymarin, respectively. Volunteers were instructed to take two capsules in the morning and two capsules in the evening. No nutritional intervention was performed during the study period. The data (anthropometrics and anamneses) and harvest blood (biochemistry and hormonal exams) were collected at three different time points: baseline time [day 0 (T0)], day 90 (T90), and day 180 (T180) post-supplementation. + + Results: In the anthropometric analysis, the waist circumference in middle abdomen (WC-mid) and waist circumference in iliac crest (WC-IC) were reduced. Also, the waist-to-height ratio (WHt R) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) seem to slightly decrease alongside the supplementation period with both nutraceutical supplements tested as well as transaminase enzyme ratio [aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ratio (AAR)], a known as a biomarker of NAFLD, and endocrine hormones cortisol and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) at 90 and 180 days post-supplementation. + + Conclusions: In a condition associated with sedentary and no nutritional intervention, the new nutraceutical supplement composition demonstrated the ability to be a strong and newfangled tool to improve important biomarkers associated with obesity and its comorbidities.

Methods: Fifty overweight and obese adults with body mass index (BMI) of 30.72 +/- 3.31 kg/m2 participated in this study. Participants were randomly assigned to take lifestyle advice or lifestyle advice plus 30 g/day milled flaxseed for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was body weight; secondary outcomes included other anthropometric parameters, lipid profile and inflammatory biomarkers. Results: At the end of the study, the following significant mean differences were seen in flaxseed and control groups, respectively: weight [-9.36 vs. -3.09 kg; P < 0.001], BMI [-3.34 vs. -1.2 kg/m2; P < 0.001], triglycerides [-62.88 vs. -9.85 mg/dL; P < 0.001], total cholesterol [-32.2 vs. -14.95 mg/dL; P = 0.04], homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) [1.25 vs. -0.32; P = 0.024], high sensitive- C reactive protein [-2.2 vs. -1.01 mmol/L; P < 0.001] and tumor necrosis factor-alpha [-1.34 vs. -0.14 pg/mL; P = 0.005]. Conclusion: These results suggest that flaxseed supplementation in addition to lifestyle modification is significantly superior to lifestyle modification alone for weight loss. More studies with different dosages of flaxseed are needed to find the optimal dosage.

Each of 3 test meals was provided for 2 continuous days: a resting day without exercise, followed by an exercise day with a bicycling exercise of 50% maximal oxygen consumption (postprandial 90-120 minutes). Energy expenditure (exploratory outcome of primary interest) was measured using indirect calorimetry. Fasting and postprandial 2-hour serum clinical and metabolomic biomarkers (secondary interest) were measured. Mixed models were used to examine the effects of meal, time, and/or BMI category. + + RESULTS: On the resting day, no significant between-meal differences were detected for energy expenditure. However, high-carbohydrate and high-fat meals induced the highest postprandial 2-hour increase in glucose (0.34 +/- 0.15 mmol/L) and triglyceride (0.95 +/- 0.09 mmol/L), respectively, while the high-protein meal reduced glucose (-0.48 +/- 0.08 mmol/L) and total cholesterol (-0.01 +/- 0.03 mmol/L; all Pmeal values < 0.001). On the exercise day, a high-carbohydrate meal significantly promoted the carbohydrate oxidation rate but suppressed the fat oxidation rate (Pmeal < 0.05), while its postprandial glucose response was attenuated by bicycling (-0.31 +/- 0.03 mmol/L; Pexercise < 0.001). We identified 69 metabolites as key features in discriminating between the 3 meals, and overweight/obese men had more varieties of metabolites than normal-weight men. + + CONCLUSIONS: Three isocaloric meals induced unique postprandial changes in clinical and metabolomic biomarkers, while exercise prevented the hyperglycemia induced by a high-carbohydrate meal. Overweight/obese men were more responsive to the meal challenges than normal-weight men. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03231618.

Serum sRAGE is inclined to be modified by changes in body weight. We analysed serum sRAGE concentrations in patients with obesity undergoing moderate calorie restriction, which mimics the real-life situation and is not harmful to obese humans. Serum sRAGE was measured by immunoassay in 50 patients with obesity who underwent calorie restriction by 300-500 kcal/day for 8 weeks. In effect calorie restriction resulted in an expected decrease in body weight (by 2.1 kg for an 8-week intervention, p<0.0001), as well as reduced systolic blood pressure, modified dyslipidemia (cholesterol, triglycerides), reduced obesity-related inflammation (tumor necrosis factor-alfa, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein), improved insulin sensitivity. However, it was not accompanied by any significant change in sRAGE concentration. There was a strong negative correlation between BMI and the sRAGE level. Accordingly, the levels of sRAGE were the highest in lean control.

The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical features, blood pressure (BP) profiles and inflammatory markers, to identify patients with an elevated risk of developing HDP. + + METHODS: A total of 146 normotensive pregnant women were studied. We analysed the relationships of BP profiles detected by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) with serum biomarkers and angiogenic factors and their association with the development of HDP. + + RESULTS: Fourteen (9.6%) women developed HDP, of which 11 had GDM and 8 had obesity. Women with HDP had higher values of 24-h and daytime systolic/diastolic BP (113/69 vs. 104/64; 115/72 vs. 106/66 mmHg, respectively; p < 0.05). Higher levels of leptin (10.97 +/- 0.82 vs. 10.2 +/- 1.11; p = 0.018) andmonocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) (5.24 +/- 0.60 vs. 4.9 +/- 0.55; p = 0.044) and a higher soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1/placental growth factor (sFlt-1/PlGF) ratio (4.37 +/- 2.2 vs. 2.2 +/- 1.43; p = 0.003) were also observed in the HDP patients. Multivariate analysis showed that a higher sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was associated with an increased risk of developing HDP [OR = 2.02; IC 95%: 1.35-3.05]. Furthermore, higher daytime systolic BP [OR = 1.27; IC 95% 1.00-1.26] and prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) [OR = 1.14; IC 95%: 1.01-1.30] significantly increased the risk of developing HDP. + + CONCLUSIONS: Higher daytime systolic BP values, prepregnancy BMI and the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio are useful for identifying normotensive pregnant women with an increased risk of developing HDP.

Individuals who are overweight or obese often develop insulin resistance, mediation of the association between obesity and CVD through the insulin resistance seems plausible and has not been investigated. This study aimed to evaluate whether and to what extend the effect of general and central obesity on cardiovascular disease (CVD) is mediated by insulin resistance. + + METHODS: A total of 94,136 participants without CVD at baseline were recruited from the Kailuan study. Insulin resistance was evaluated by the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, calculating as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) x fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Mediation analysis using a new 2-stage regression method for survival data proposed by Valeri and VanderWeele was to explore the mediating effects of the TyG index on the association between obesity and CVD. + + RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 13.01 years, we identified 7327 cases of CVD. Mediation analyses showed that 47.81% of the total association (hazard ratio [HR], 1.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12-1.24) between overweight and CVD was mediated through the TyG index (HR [indirect association], 1.07; 95% CI, 1.07-1.09), and the proportion mediated was 37.94% for general obesity. For central obesity, analysis by waist circumference, waist/hip, and waist/height categories yielded an attenuated proportion mediated of 32.01, 35.02, and 31.06% for obesity, taken normal weight as reference. + + CONCLUSIONS: The association between obesity and CVD was mediated by TyG index, suggesting proper control of insulin resistance can be effective to reduce the effects of obesity on CVD.

In our pipeline, a heterogeneous ensemble feature selection diagram is first developed to determine an optimal subset of biomarkers through the aggregation of multiple techniques. Subsequently, a deep reinforcement learning method was established to alter the targeted composition to the desired healthy target. In this manner, we can realize personalized modulation by counterfactual inference. Consequently, a total of 42 species were identified as regional shared biomarkers, and they showed good performance in distinguishing obese people from the healthy group (area under curve (AUC) =0.85) when demonstrated on validation datasets. In addition, by pooling all counterfactual explanations, we found that Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Prevotella copri, Bacteroides dorei, Bacteroides eggerthii, Alistipes finegoldii, Alistipes shahii, Eubacterium sp. _CAG_180, and Roseburia hominis may be potential broad-spectrum targets with consistent modulation in the multi-regional obese population. + + CONCLUSIONS: This article shows that based on our proposed machine-learning framework, we can obtain more comprehensive and accurate biomarkers and provide modulation analysis for the obese population. Moreover, our machine-learning framework will also be very useful for other researchers to further obtain biomarkers and perform counterfactual modulation analysis in different diseases.

The role of copeptin and uric acid here are not well known. We aimed to investigate the relationship between HT and serum copeptin and uric acid levels in children with obesity. + + METHODS: We included 80 children with obesity who were admitted to our hospital between April 2018 and September 2018. The patients were separated into two groups: hypertensive and non-hypertensive. Serum copeptin levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. + + RESULTS: Copeptin levels were significantly higher in patients with HT than in those without (p = 0.0001). In addition, serum uric acid levels in patients with HT were significantly higher, while the serum potassium levels were significantly lower (p = 0.01) than in those without HT (p = 0.001). In correlation analyses, a positive correlation was detected between blood sodium and copeptin levels (p = 0.037). + + CONCLUSIONS: Hypertensive children with obesity had higher serum copeptin and uric acid and lower blood potassium levels. Moreover, copeptin levels were positively correlated with blood sodium levels. Thus, in addition to copeptin, serum uric acid, potassium, and sodium levels may be important in the diagnosis and follow-up of children with HT.

Among them, low-grade chronic inflammation and obesity-associated hypogonadism have been described. We aimed to study the effects of metabolic surgery on the carotid-intima media thickness through changes in inflammatory, endothelial biomarkers, and testosterone. We included 60 men; 20 submitted to laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), 20 to sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and 20 to lifestyle modification (controls). Several inflammatory and endothelial biomarkers and total testosterone (TT) were measured at baseline and six months after surgery. Free testosterone (FT) was calculated, and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) was measured by ultrasonography. Compared to controls, cIMT decreased after surgery concomitantly with CRP, PAI-1, sICAM-1, and IL-18 (p < 0.01) and with an increase in sTWEAK (p = 0.027), with no differences between RYGB and SG. The increase in TT and FT after surgery correlated with the changes in cIMT (p = 0.010 and p = 0.038, respectively), but this association disappeared after multivariate analysis. Linear regression showed that sTWEAK (s = -0.245, p = 0.039), PAI-1 (s = 0.346, p = 0.005), and CRP (s = 0.236, p = 0.049) were associated with the changes in cIMT (R2 = 0.267, F = 6.664, p = 0.001). In conclusion, both RYGB and SG induced improvements in inflammation and endothelial biomarkers that drove a decrease in cIMT compared to men with obesity who submitted to diet and exercise. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1). 3XMK78S47O (Testosterone). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We investigated the effect of positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment on the serum level of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), an oxidative stress product, in OSAS patients with higher body mass index (BMI) and indication for PAP treatment. + + Materials and Methods: Seven consecutive female and 23 male patients with a BMI of >=30 kg/m2 who were diagnosed as having OSAS according to ICSD3 criteria and were planned for PAP, were included. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale and STOP-Bang Questionnaire were performed. Morning arterial blood gas, hemogram, biochemistry, insulin, and IMA were measured after polysomnography and after three months of PAP. + + Result: There were no significant changes in lactate, CRP, and serum electrolyte levels measured before and after PAP, except for potassium. When 30 patients were compared in terms of serum IMA levels at baseline and after treatment, the mean baseline value was 0.56 absorbance units (ABSU), and the 3rd-month follow-up IMA value was 0.53 ABSU (p= 0.537). The mean serum fasting insulin level was 15.85 microIU/mL and 11.6 (p= 0.002) and the mean HOMA index was 4.4 and 3.0 (p= 0.001), respectively. + + Conclusions: Serum IMA levels seem not to be an appropriate marker for the evaluation of PAP treatment in OSAS patients with higher BMI. PAP is associated with a decrease in the fasting insulin level, HOMA index, and hematocrit, but not with serum electrolytes except potassium. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ischemia-modified albumin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Serum Albumin). 0 (Insulins). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.5578%2ftt.20229602 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ajun&issn=0494-1373&title=Tuberkuloz+ve+Toraks&atitle=Obstruktif+uyku+apne+sendromu+tanisi+alan+obez+hastalarda+PAP+tedavisinin+serum+iskemi+modifiye+albumin+duzeyine+etkisi.&volume=70&issue=4&spage=313&epage=323&date=2022&doi=10.5578%2Ftt.20229602&pmid=36537088&sid=OVID:medline + +<369> +Unique Identifier + 36524417 +Title + [Effect of prebiotics, probiotics, and symbiotics on molecular markers of inflammation in obesity.].

The use of prebiotics and probiotics can be an alternative treatment against obesity. Although there have been found physiological and biochemical effects of its use, the molecular mechanism remains unclear. The present review analyzed articles that suggested the activation of pathways related to the metabolism of the fatty acids, as well as the impact on anti-inflammatory mechanisms, as part of the mechanism of action of prebiotics and probiotics, to know therefore the possible pathways activated by the prebiotics and probiotics. + + METHODS: Exhaustive research was made on articles included in the period 2005-2021 related to the effect of prebiotics and probiotics in obesity, inflammatory diseases, and metabolic diseases. Identifying an effect on anti-inflammatory cytokines and PPAR modulation, with a consequent decrease in inflammation and fat degradation. + + RESULTS: A total of sixty-three articles were obtained, which were classified as basic information on molecular markers of obesity, the effect of prebiotics and probiotics in obesity, and articles related to anti-inflammatory effects and fatty acid metabolism observed in obesity and other inflammatory diseases. + + CONCLUSIONS: The effect of prebiotics and probiotics in obesity can be linked to the anti-inflammatory mechanism produced, and this effect leads to an increase in the expression of genes related to fatty acid metabolism. +Other Abstract + Publisher + OBJETIVO: La obesidad es una enfermedad ampliamente distribuida en el mundo y resulta una de las principales causas de mortalidad.

The aim of the study is to investigate the contribution of PPARG gene polymorphisms (namely Pro12Ala rs1801282, His447His rs3856806, and Pro115Gln rs1800571) and PPARGC1A rs8192678 SNP on the anthropometric and metabolic parameters in a population of Romanian children. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 295 Caucasian children, divided according to the body mass index (BMI) z-score into the study (obese and overweight) group of 130 children and the control (normoponderal) group of 165 children. Anthropometric parameters were greater in the obese and overweight population as opposed to controls, with significant differences (p < 0.01) found for the weight (2.77 +/- 1.54 SD vs. -0.04 +/- 1.15 SD), body mass index (BMI) (2.28 +/- 0.97 SD vs. -0.18 +/- 1.19 SD), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) (4.59 +/- 2.28 SD vs. 0.28 +/- 3.45 SD), tricipital skin-fold (TSF) (3.31 +/- 3.09 SD vs. 0.62 +/- 7.28 SD) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) (0.61 +/- 1.51 SD vs. -0.35 +/- 1.35 SD) z-scores. Moreover, triglyceride values were higher in the study group (118.70 +/- 71.99 SD vs. 77.09 +/- 37.39 SD). No significant difference in the allele and genotype distribution of investigates gene polymorphisms was observed between the studied groups (p > 0.05). PPARG (rs1801282, rs3856806, and rs1800571) were not associated with demographic, anthropometric, and laboratory parameters. However, PPARGC1A rs8192678 CC genotype was associated with TSF z-score (p = 0.03), whereas total and LDL cholesterol levels were significantly higher among TT homozygotes (p < 0.01). Our data suggest that PPARG (rs1801282, rs3856806, and rs1800571) and PPARGC1A (rs8192678) gene polymorphisms were not associated with childhood and adolescence overweight and obesity. The present study identified a significant increase in fasting glucose levels, triglyceride, albumin, and ALT levels in children with excess weight, as well as expected important upward variation of anthropometric parameters (BMI, MUAC, TSF z-scores).

Likewise, in developing countries an increase of close to 50% indicates an upsurge in FAFH consumption. While various indices and tools are used to assess diet quality, diversity, or healthy eating, FAFH is less utilized to study dietary behaviors and the associated disease risk. + + OBJECTIVE: To calculate the pooled estimate of FAFH and identify the associated non-communicable disease (NCD) markers. + + DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis. + + METHODS: Independent electronic searches were conducted across 6 databases: Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane library, Ingenta, and CAB direct. Observational studies investigating the association between FAFH and NCD markers published between the year 2011 and 2021 were eligible for inclusion. Studies that included overweight or obese participants, pregnant women, or those under institutional care at baseline were excluded. The guidelines for reporting meta-analysis of observational studies in epidemiology were adhered to in the preparation of this systematic review. + + RESULTS: The random effects combined estimate for the overall prevalence of FAFH was 39.96% (95% CI 29.97-53.29). High heterogeneity (tau2 = 0.63, I2 = 100%) and high risk of bias were observed among the selected studies. The test for overall effect was observed to be z = 25.11 (p < 0.001). Eleven out of fourteen studies showed a positive association between FAFH and anthropometric changes. Twelve out of seventeen studies showed a positive association between FAFH and cardiovascular disease (CVD) biomarkers. + + CONCLUSION: Our work confirms FAFH as an evolving dietary behavior in both developing and developed countries, emphasizing the lack of representation from low-income countries. The association of FAFH with obesity and non-communicable disease risk is reinforced by our analyses. These findings should enable policy decisions to meet the rising demand of FAFH with healthier options to prevent the risk of NCD. Copyright © 2022.

Recent growing evidence finds links between obesity and cognitive impairment in older adults. However, the association between the two is controversial. This study aims to identify obesity marker trajectory patterns, and to assess whether these patterns are associated with cognitive impairment and cognitive decline during a 10-year follow-up period among community-dwelling older adults. + + METHODS: A total of 626 older adults aged 65 and older were involved in the study, with at least two repeated measurements at baseline, one-year or 10-year follow-up. Cognitive function was measured through the Mini Mental State Examination. Obesity markers included body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip (WHR), fat mass (FM), and abdominal fat (AF) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of cognitive impairment and cognitive decline for obesity marker trajectory patterns. + + RESULTS: After a 10-year follow-up, 168 older adults with incident cognitive impairment and 156 with rapid cognitive decline were defined as the top 25th percentile of cognitive decline. Four distinct trajectory groups of obesity markers were identified. In multivariate logistic regression analyses, a low likelihood of cognitive impairment was observed in the consistently high-level group from FM trajectory (ORs = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.20-0.85); the high-level U-shaped group from WHR trajectory (0.43, 0.22-0.84); and the median-level flat inverse U-shaped, consistently high-level, and low-level flat U-shaped groups from AF trajectory (0.44, 0.26-0.77; 0.33, 0.18-0.61; 0.39, 0.18-0.82). In addition, a low likelihood of rapid decline was found in the low-level, slightly increasing trend group from WHR trajectory (0.43, 0.22-0.85). + + CONCLUSION: FM and AF trajectories with consistent high levels and WHR trajectory with high level with U-shaped group are associated with low risks of incident cognitive impairment in older adults. Similarly, WHR trajectory with a low but slowly increasing trend is associated with a decreased risk of cognitive decline. Copyright © 2022.

However, the biological mechanisms underlying this relationship are not fully understood. Moreover, it is unclear whether obesity-related and further associated biomarkers could be suitable targets for lifestyle interventions. This systematic review was conducted to examine relationships between obesity-related blood parameters and prognosis for breast cancer survivors enrolled in lifestyle intervention studies. A systematic, computerized literature search was conducted from inception through August 26th, 2020 in PubMed, EMBASE, and CENTRAL. The focus was on observational data from randomized controlled lifestyle intervention trials investigating associations between selected baseline biomarkers, measured in remission, and breast cancer recurrence, breast cancer mortality and/or all-cause mortality. Four studies with data from 5234 women met the inclusion criteria.Studies herein provide moderate evidence that bioavailable or serum testosterone may be positively linked to breast cancer recurrence and inversely linked to disease-free survival. Limited evidence suggests no associations with circulating estradiol or insulin levels on prognosis outcomes, whereas HDL cholesterol was inversely associated with breast cancer recurrence. For some other biomarkers, such as growth factors, adipokines, and CRP, the evidence for associations with disease prognosis was too weak to draw conclusions.Overall, despite potential candidates, there is insufficient evidence to confirm or refute that obesity-related biomarkers and sex hormones have a prognostic value for breast cancer survival. More longitudinal studies in breast cancer survivors to examine the clinical utility of obesity-related biomarkers are needed. Copyright © 2022.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid reported to have beneficial health effects. However, the effects of DHA in AT against hypoxia-induced immune-metabolic perturbations in adipocytes exposed to low O2 tension are not well known. Consequently, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of DHA on markers of inflammation, metabolism, apoptosis, and oxidative stress in 3T3-L1 cell adipocytes exposed to low O2 tension (1% O2) induced hypoxia. + + METHODS: The apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) rates were evaluated. Metabolic parameters such as lactate, FFA, glycerol release, glucose uptake, and ATP content were assessed by a fluorometer. The expression of HIF-1, GLUT1 and the secretion of adipocytokines such as leptin, adiponectin, and pro-inflammatory markers was evaluated. + + RESULTS: DHA-treated hypoxic cells showed significantly decreased basal free fatty acid release, lactate production, and enhanced glucose consumption. In addition, DHA-treatment of hypoxic cells caused a significant reduction in the apoptosis rate and ROS production with decreased lipid peroxidation. Moreover, DHA-treatment of hypoxic cells caused a decreased secretion of pro-inflammatory markers (IL-6, MCP-1) and leptin and increased adiponectin secretion compared with hypoxic cells. Furthermore, DHA-treatment of hypoxic cells caused significant reductions in the expression of genes related to hypoxia (HIF-1, HIF-2), anaerobic metabolism (GLUT1 and Ldha), ATP production (ANT2), and fat metabolism (FASN and PPARY). + + CONCLUSION: This study suggests that DHA can exert potential anti-obesity effects by reducing the secretion of inflammatory adipokines, oxidative stress, lipolysis, and apoptosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 25167-62-8 (Docosahexaenoic Acids). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Glucose Transporter Type 1). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Reactive Oxygen Species). 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lactates). 8L70Q75FXE (Adenosine Triphosphate). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fnu14214600 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Younes&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Docosahexaenoic+Acid+Counteracts+the+Hypoxic-Induced+Inflammatory+and+Metabolic+Alterations+in+3T3-L1+Adipocytes.&volume=14&issue=21&spage=&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fnu14214600&pmid=36364860&sid=OVID:medline + +<376> +Unique Identifier + 36363468 +Title + Changes in Left Heart Geometry, Function, and Blood Serum Biomarkers in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea after Treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. +Source + Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania). 58(11), 2022 Oct 24. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kondrataviciene L; Tamulenaite E; Vasyle E; Januskevicius A; Ereminiene E; Malakauskas K; Zemaitis M; Miliauskas S +Author NameID + Kondrataviciene, Laima; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6384-9392 +Authors Full Name + Kondrataviciene, Laima; Tamulenaite, Egle; Vasyle, Egle; Januskevicius, Andrius; Ereminiene, Egle; Malakauskas, Kestutis; Zemaitis, Marius; Miliauskas, Skaidrius. +Institution + Kondrataviciene, Laima.

Two-dimensional (2D) speckle-tracking (ST) echocardiography is a useful method for subclinical biventricular dysfunction diagnosis and thus might help as an earlier treatment for OSA patients. It is still not clear which blood serum biomarkers could be used to assess CPAP treatment efficacy. Objectives: To evaluate left heart geometry, function, deformation parameters, and blood serum biomarker (galectin-3, sST2, endothelin-1) levels in patients with OSA, as well as to assess changes after short-term CPAP treatment. Materials and Methods: Thirty-four patients diagnosed with moderate or severe OSA, as well as thirteen patients as a control group, were included in the study. All the subjects were obese (body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2). Transthoracic 2D ST echocardiography was performed before and after 3 months of treatment with CPAP; for the control group, at baseline only. Peripheral blood samples for the testing of biomarkers were collected at the time of study enrolment before the initiation of CPAP therapy and after 3 months of CPAP treatment (blood samples were taken just for OSA group patients). Results: The left ventricle (LV) end-diastolic diameter and volume, as well as LV ejection fraction (EF), did not differ between groups, but an increased LV end-systolic volume and a reduced LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) were found in the OSA group patients (p = 0.015 and p = 0.035, respectively). Indexed by height, higher LV MMi in OSA patients (p = 0.007) and a higher prevalence of LV diastolic dysfunction (p = 0.023) were found in this group of patients. Although left atrium (LA) volume did not differ between groups, OSA group patients had significantly lower LA reservoir strain (p < 0.001). Conventional RV longitudinal and global function parameters (S', fractional area change (FAC)) did not differ between groups; however, RV GLS was reduced in OSA patients (p = 0.026). OSA patients had a significantly higher right atrium (RA) diameter and mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) (p < 0.05). Galectin-3 and sST2 concentrations significantly decreased after 3 months of CPAP treatment. Conclusions : OSA is associated with the left heart remodeling process-increased LV myocardial mass index, LV diastolic dysfunction, reduced LV and RV longitudinal strain, and reduced LA reservoir function. A short-term, 3-months CPAP treatment improves LV global longitudinal strain and LA reservoir function and positively affects blood serum biomarkers. This new indexing system for LV myocardial mass by height helps to identify myocardial structural changes in obese patients with OSA. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Galectin 3). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fmedicina58111511 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Kondrataviciene&issn=1010-660X&title=Medicina+%28Kaunas%2C+Lithuania%29&atitle=Changes+in+Left+Heart+Geometry%2C+Function%2C+and+Blood+Serum+Biomarkers+in+Patients+with+Obstructive+Sleep+Apnea+after+Treatment+with+Continuous+Positive+Airway+Pressure.&volume=58&issue=11&spage=1511&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fmedicina58111511&pmid=36363468&sid=OVID:medline + +<377> +Unique Identifier + 36362225 +Title + The New Markers of Early Obesity-Related Organ and Metabolic Abnormalities. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 23(21), 2022 Nov 03. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ziomber-Lisiak A; Piana K; Ostachowicz B; Wrobel P; Kasprzyk P; Kaszuba-Zwoinska J; Baranowska-Chowaniec A; Juszczak K; Szczerbowska-Boruchowska M +Author NameID + Kasprzyk, Paula; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6072-5869 + Szczerbowska-Boruchowska, Magdalena; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8331-1917 +Authors Full Name + Ziomber-Lisiak, Agata; Piana, Kaja; Ostachowicz, Beata; Wrobel, Pawel; Kasprzyk, Paula; Kaszuba-Zwoinska, Jolanta; Baranowska-Chowaniec, Agnieszka; Juszczak, Kajetan; Szczerbowska-Boruchowska, Magdalena. +Institution + Ziomber-Lisiak, Agata.

For this purpose we determined serum FGF-19 and FGF-21 concentrations in obese rats, whose role in the pathogenesis of obesity is not yet established. In addition, a total reflection X-ray fluorescence technique was applied to determine the elemental chemistry of certain tissues affected by obesity. Next, the new biochemical and molecular parameters were correlated with well-known obesity-related markers of metabolic abnormalities. Our obese rats were characterized by increased calorie consumption and body adiposity, hypercholesterolemia, elevated levels of liver enzymes and FGF-21, while the level of FGF-19 was reduced. Strong relationships between new hormones and established metabolic parameters were observed. Furthermore, we demonstrated that obesity had the greatest effect on elemental composition in the adipose tissue and liver and that rubidium (Rb) had the highest importance in distinguishing the studied groups of animals. Tissue Rb strongly correlated with both well-known and new markers of obesity. In conclusion, we confirmed serum FGF-19 and FGF-21 as useful new markers of obesity-related metabolic alternations and we robustly propose Rb as a novel indicator of excessive body adiposity and its early consequences. However, further investigations are encouraged to address this clinical issue. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 62031-54-3 (Fibroblast Growth Factors). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fijms232113437 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ziomber-Lisiak&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=The+New+Markers+of+Early+Obesity-Related+Organ+and+Metabolic+Abnormalities.&volume=23&issue=21&spage=13437&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fijms232113437&pmid=36362225&sid=OVID:medline + +<378> +Unique Identifier + 36360814 +Title + Carotid Plaque Features and Inflammatory Biomarkers as Predictors of Restenosis and Mortality Following Carotid Endarterectomy. +Source + International Journal of Environmental Research & Public Health [Electronic Resource]. 19(21), 2022 10 26. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Niculescu R; Russu E; Arbanasi EM; Kaller R; Arbanasi EM; Melinte RM; Cosarca CM; Cocuz IG; Sabau AH; Tinca AC; Stoian A; Vunvulea V; Muresan AV; Cotoi OS +Author NameID + Arbanasi, Emil Marian; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1664-8130 + Cocuz, Iuliu Gabriel; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5985-2433 + Stoian, Adina; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6862-4926 +Authors Full Name + Niculescu, Raluca; Russu, Eliza; Arbanasi, Emil Marian; Kaller, Reka; Arbanasi, Eliza Mihaela; Melinte, Razvan Marian; Cosarca, Catalin Mircea; Cocuz, Iuliu Gabriel; Sabau, Adrian Horatiu; Tinca, Andreea Catalina; Stoian, Adina; Vunvulea, Vlad; Muresan, Adrian Vasile; Cotoi, Ovidiu Simion. +Institution + Niculescu, Raluca.

Unfortunately, the restenosis rate is high after CEA. This study aims to demonstrate the predictive role of carotid plaque features and inflammatory biomarkers (monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic inflammatory index (SII), Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI), and Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation (AISI)) in carotid restenosis and mortality at 12 months following CEA. + + METHODS: The present study was designed as an observational, analytical, retrospective cohort study and included all patients over 18 years of age with a minimum of 70% carotid stenosis and surgical indications for CEA admitted to the Vascular Surgery Clinic, Emergency County Hospital of Targu Mures, Romania between 2018 and 2021. + + RESULTS: According to our results, the high pre-operative values of inflammatory biomarkers-MLR (OR: 10.37 and OR: 6.11; p < 0.001), NLR (OR: 34.22 and OR: 37.62; p < 0.001), PLR (OR: 12.02 and OR: 16.06; p < 0.001), SII (OR: 18.11 and OR: 31.70; p < 0.001), SIRI (OR: 16.64 and OR: 9.89; p < 0.001), and AISI (OR: 16.80 and OR: 8.24; p < 0.001)-are strong independent factors predicting the risk of 12-month restenosis and mortality following CEA. Moreover, unstable plaque (OR: 2.83, p < 0.001 and OR: 2.40, p = 0.04) and MI (OR: 3.16, p < 0.001 and OR: 2.83, p = 0.005) were independent predictors of all outcomes. Furthermore, AH (OR: 2.30; p = 0.006), AF (OR: 1.74; p = 0.02), tobacco (OR: 2.25; p < 0.001), obesity (OR: 1.90; p = 0.02), and thrombotic plaques (OR: 2.77; p < 0.001) were all independent predictors of restenosis, but not for mortality in all patients. In contrast, antiplatelet (OR: 0.46; p = 0.004), statin (OR: 0.59; p = 0.04), and ezetimibe (OR:0.45; p = 0.03) therapy were protective factors against restenosis, but not for mortality. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our data revealed that higher preoperative inflammatory biomarker values highly predict 12-month restenosis and mortality following CEA. Furthermore, age above 70, unstable plaque, cardiovascular disease, and dyslipidemia were risk factors for all outcomes. Additionally, AH, AF, smoking, and obesity were all independent predictors of restenosis but not of mortality in all patients. Antiplatelet and statin medication, on the other hand, were protective against restenosis but not against mortality. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA Reductase Inhibitors). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fijerph192113934 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Niculescu&issn=1660-4601&title=International+Journal+of+Environmental+Research+%26+Public+Health+%5BElectronic+Resource%5D&atitle=Carotid+Plaque+Features+and+Inflammatory+Biomarkers+as+Predictors+of+Restenosis+and+Mortality+Following+Carotid+Endarterectomy.&volume=19&issue=21&spage=&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fijerph192113934&pmid=36360814&sid=OVID:medline + +<379> +Unique Identifier + 36355053 +Title + Impact of testosterone therapy on bone turnover markers in obese males with type 2 diabetes and functional hypogonadism. +Source + Aging Male. 25(1):269-277, 2022 Dec. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Groti Antonic K +Author NameID + Groti Antonic, Kristina; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4078-0238 +Authors Full Name + Groti Antonic, Kristina. +Institution + Groti Antonic, Kristina.

Bone turnover markers C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and procollagen I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) were assessed at baseline, 12 and 24 months. Bone mineral density (BMD) changes were evaluated after 24 months using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Group T (n = 28) received TU both years. Group P (n = 27) received placebo first year and TU second year. + + RESULTS: CTX decreased in group P from 1055 (676-1344) to 453 (365-665) pmol/L (p < 0.001) and from 897 (679-1506) to 523 (364-835) pmol/L (p < 0.001) in T. PINP decreased by 4.30 +/- 8.05 mug/L in group P (p = 0.030) and 4.64 +/- 8.86 mug/L in T (p < 0.023) after first year of therapy. No femoral neck BMD changes were observed in 32 patients from both groups (n = 16 per group). Lumbar spine BMD increased (by 0.075 +/- 0.114 g/cm2; p = 0.019) in group T following two years of treatment. + + CONCLUSIONS: We observed decreased CTX, decreased PINP and increased lumbar spine BMD after two years of testosterone treatment. + + CLINICAL TRIALS: NCT03792321; retrospectively registered trial on 4 January 2019. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Collagen Type I). 3XMK78S47O (Testosterone). +Publication Type + Randomized Controlled Trial.

This study aimed to examine baseline risk profiles for incident CVD by age at onset in Chinese population. + + METHODS: A total of 97,841 participants without CVD were enrolled from the Kailuan cohort study. Four age groups were examined (< 55, 55 to < 65, 65 to < 75, and >= 75 years) for CVD onset. Risk profiles included clinical, lipid, metabolic, and inflammatory risk factors and biomarkers. + + RESULTS: Of the clinical factors, diabetes was associated with the highest relative risk for incident CVD in participants younger than 55 years (sub-distributional hazard ratio [sHR], 4.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.47-4.80). Risk factors that were also noted for CVD onset in participants younger than 55 years included hypertension, metabolism syndrome, overweight or obese, dyslipidemia, and smoking. Among the biomarkers, insulin resistance measured by triglyceride-glucose index had the highest sHR (1.42; 95% CI, 1.35-1.49) for CVD in participants younger than 55 years. In comparison, weaker but significant associations with CVD in participants younger than 55 years were noted for most lipids, metabolic biomarkers, and inflammatory biomarkers. Most risk factors and biomarkers had associations that attenuated with increasing age at onset. Some biomarkers had similar CVD age association, while a few had no association with CVD onset at any age. + + CONCLUSIONS: These findings showed that diabetes and insulin resistance, in addition to hypertension, metabolism syndrome, overweight or obese, dyslipidemia, and smoking, appeared to be the strongest risk factors for premature onset of CVD, and most risk factors had attenuated relative rates at older ages.

Although obesity affects the relation between beta-amyloid (Abeta) aggregation and cognitive decline, the longitudinal interactive effect of adipokines and Abeta on cognition and brain structures in humans remains unexplored. Hence, we investigated whether plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin are associated with future cognitive decline and cortical thinning across Abeta conditions (Abeta [+] and Abeta [-]) in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). + + METHODS: Of 156 participants with MCI from the longitudinal cohort study of Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), 31 were Abeta (-) and 125 were Abeta (+) as determined by CSF analysis. The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) scores and the thickness of the parahippocampal and entorhinal cortices were used to evaluate cognition and brain structure, respectively. After stratifying groups by Abeta conditions, the association of cognitive and brain structural changes with baseline plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin was examined. + + RESULTS: Of the total 156 participants, 51 were women (32.7%). The mean age of participants was 74.5 (standard deviation 7.57), and the mean follow-up period was 54.3 months, without a difference between the Abeta (+) and (-) groups. After adjustment for confounders, higher plasma adiponectin levels were associated with a faster increase in ADAS-Cog scores, indicating faster cognitive decline under the Abeta (+) condition (beta = 0.224, p = 0.018). Likewise, participants with higher plasma adiponectin presented faster cortical thinning in the bilateral parahippocampal cortices under the Abeta (+) condition (beta = - 0.004, p = 0.012 for the right side; beta = - 0.004, p = 0.025 for the left side). Interestingly, plasma adiponectin levels were not associated with longitudinal ADAS-Cog scores or cortical thickness in the Abeta (-) condition. Plasma leptin levels were not predictive of cognition or cortical thickness regardless of Abeta status. + + CONCLUSION: Plasma adiponectin can be a potential biomarker for predicting the speed of AD progression in individuals with Abeta (+) MCI.

The serum levels of VitK2 and 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] were measured. According to age, they were divided into four groups: <1 year, 1-3 years group, >3-6 years group, and >6-14 years. A total of 309 children with 25(OH)D>=50 nmol/L were screened out, and serum levels of OC, PINP, and CTX were measured to investigate the correlation of the serum levels of OC, PINP, and CTX with serum VitK2 levels in different age groups. + + RESULTS: The prevalence rate of serum VitK2 deficiency was 52.31% (906/1 732). The VitK2 deficiency group had higher prevalence rates of overweight/obesity and growth pain (>=3 years of age) than the normal VitK2 group (P<0.05). There were differences in the prevalence rate of serum VitK2 deficiency (P<0.0083) and the serum level of VitK2 (P<0.05) between the 1-3 years group and the >6-14 years group. The <1 year group had a higher serum level of CTX and a lower serum level of PINP than the >3-6 years group and the >6-14 years group (P<0.05). The <1 year group had a lower serum level of OC than the >6-14 years group (P<0.05).

Also, in the Netherlands the incidence of overweight and obesity is rising. There is increasing evidence on the association between obesity and tumorigenesis. Of all cancer types, endometrial cancer (EC) has the strongest positive correlation with obesity. Obesity is generally defined as a body mass index (BMI) >30, yet does not cover the differences in fat distribution in visceral and subcutaneous compartments. Visceral fat is assumed to be relatively more metabolically active and likely negative prognostic biomarker in non-endometrioid EC. Whereas subcutaneous fat is mainly responsible for oestrogen production through increased aromatase activity. + + OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to compare hormone levels and inflammatory markers after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) in obese and non-obese patients. Secondary objectives are to compare the effect of fat distribution and diagnosis (benign vs. EC) on the observed changes in hormone levels and inflammatory markers, and to compare the effect of BSO on menopausal complaints. + + METHODS: Prospective multicentre observational cohort study. A total of 160 patients will be included, of which 80 patients with a normal BMI (18-25 kg/m2) and 80 patients with an obese BMI >32-35 kg/m2. Preoperative abdominal CT will be performed and fasting venous blood samples are obtained for hormone levels and inflammation markers analysis. During surgery, adipose tissue biopsies of subcutaneous and visceral (omental and intestinal epiploic fat) compartments will be collected and stored fresh frozen. In addition a fasting blood draw six weeks after surgery will be obtained. All subjects will fill in two questionnaires before surgery and one after surgery. + + DISCUSSION: We hypothesize that BMI, the type of fat distribution, and possibly the underlying pathology significantly influence in hormone levels, and systemic inflammation changes after BSO. Previous studies have found several clues for a relationship between obesity and endometrial cancer. We expect that our study will contribute to pinpoint the exact differences between 'healthy obesity' and 'unhealthy obesity' and will help to identify patients that are more at risk of developing cancer (or possibly suffer from other related problems such as cardiovascular problems e.g.). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Hormones). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This study is expected to provide a new perspective on the therapeutic mechanism in the pathological course of NAFLD. + + Methods: A total of 166 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were enrolled in this study. All patients had a BMI above 24 kg/m2 and were stratified into two groups: NAFLD and Non-NAFLD groups. Ages, gender, BMI, duration of diabetes and biochemical markers were obtained from participants' records. We downloaded the dataset GSE48452 from GEO. The Pathview library was used to make the thyroid hormone signaling pathway visualization. The CIBERSORT algorithm was applied to calculate the infiltrated immune cells in obese NAFLD patients. C57BL/6 mice were randomly selected to constitute the normal control (NC) group and were fed a normal chow diet; the rest of the mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD). After 12 weeks HFD feeding, the mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and blood samples were collected. Mouse livers were also collected; one part of each liver was fixed in 10% formalin for histological analysis, and the other part was snap-frozen for subsequent molecular analyses. To explore the relationship between SPP1, TRbeta and lipid deposition in hepatocytes, HepG2 cells were treated with 50 mu M concentration of PA and/or 20 ng/ml concentration of rh-SPP1 for 48h. In addition, the PC3.1-TRbeta plasmid was constructed for further validation in HepG2 cells. We used THP-1 cells to construct an M1 macrophage model in vitro. We then analyzed THP-1 cells treated with various concentrations of PA or TSH. + + Results: (1) After adjusting for all factors that appeared P value less than 0.1 in the univariate analysis, BMI, TSH, and FT3 were significant independent risk factors of NAFLD (ORs were 1.218, 1.694, and 2.259, respectively); (2) A further analysis with BMI stratification indiacted that both FT3 and TSH had a significant change between individuals with NAFLD and Non-NAFLD in obesity subgroup; however, there was no statistic difference in over-weight group; (3) Bioinformatics analysis of GSE48452 had shown that several key molecular (including TRbeta) of thyroid hormone pathway affected by NAFLD induced transcriptomic changes and the expression levels of SPP1, FABP4 and RPS4Y1 were significantly higher, while the expression levels of PZP and VIL1 were significantly decreased in NAFLD patients(adjusted p < 0.05, + + logFC + + > 1.0). The CIBERSORT algorithm showed increased M0 and M1, decreased M2 macrophage infiltration in NAFLD with comparison to healthy obese group; (4) After 12 weeks of HFD-feeding, the obesity mice had significantly higher serum TSH and In IHC-stained liver sections of obesity group, the intensity of SPP1 had a significantly increased, while TRbeta reduced; (5) In vitro studies have shown SPP1 aggravated lipid deposition in hepatic cells dependent on down-regulating the expression of TRbeta and TSH acts to promote secretion of SPP1 in M1 macrophage cells. + + Conclusions: SPP1 secretion induced by M1 macrophage polarization, which may down-regulates TRbeta in hepatocytes via paracrine manner, on the one hand, the lipid deposition aggravating in liver, on the other hand, a compensatory increase of TSH in serum. The increased TSH can further lead to the following SPP1 secretion of M1 macrophage. The positive feedback crosstalk between thyroid and liver, may be plays an important role in maintaining and amplifying pathological process of NAFLD.

It is necessary to examine other factors that may accurately predict mortality in older adults. The visceral adiposity index (VAI) is an uncomplicated marker specific to the gender that incorporates anthropometric data and lipid profiles. VAI has been proposed as a marker of visceral adipose tissue dysfunction and of the related cardiometabolic risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the link of VAI with all-cause mortality among the elderly. + + Methods: The present prospective cohort study included data from 1999 to 2014 provided by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in the United States. NHANES participants at or above the age of 65 were included. Data collection was carried out by taking face-to-face interviews, mobile-physical examinations, and lab tests. From the start of the survey to the end of December 2015, mortality-related follow-up statistics are available. The shape of the link between VAI and all-cause mortality was investigated using a restricted cubic spline model. Univariate- and multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were estimated for VAI, and the results were presented as regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (CI). + + Results: The 82,091 NHANES participants represented 442.2 million non-institutionalized residents of the United States. A total of 11,173 older individuals (representing 23.3 million; aged 73.4 +/- 5.8 years; 56.3% women, 82.7% non-Hispanic Whites, 6.8% non-Hispanic Blacks, and 3.3% Mexican Americans) were included in the study. During the 80-month follow-up period, 4466 fatalities were reported, including 825 deaths from cancer, 867 from heart disease, and 211 from cerebrovascular disease. The restricted cubic spline model demonstrated a robust J-shaped link between VAI and all-cause mortality, revealing a significant decrease in risk within the lower range of VAI, which attained the lowest risk close to 1.7. With VAI greater than 1.7, the risk of mortality increased with the increase of VAI (P for non-linearity = 0.025). In the multivariate-adjusted model, the risk of all-cause mortality was 0.73 (0.56-0.97) and 1.05 (1.01-1.09) in participants with VAI less than 1.7 and VAI greater than or equal to 1.7, respectively. + + Conclusion: This investigation is a population-based cohort study with high sample sizes and a long-term in older individuals follow-up that showed a J-shaped link between VAI levels and all-cause mortality. Understanding the independent roles of VAI in the relationship between BMI and mortality is crucial to understanding the obesity paradox phenomenon.

This study aimed to investigate two dietary indices: Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) and Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII R), and their associations with direct measures of glucose metabolism and adiposity, and biochemical measures including lipids, cytokines and adipokines in overweight/obese adults. This cross-sectional study included 65 participants (males = 63%; age 31.3 +/- 8.5 years). Dietary intake via 3-day food diaries was used to measure adherence to MDS (0-45 points); higher scores indicating adherence. Energy-adjusted DII (E-DII) scores were calculated with higher scores indicating a pro-inflammatory diet. IR was assessed using hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamps, insulin secretion by intravenous glucose tolerance test, adiposity by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and circulating cytokine and adipokine concentrations by multiplex assays. Higher MDS was associated with greater insulin sensitivity (beta = 0.179; 95%CI: 0.39, 0.318) after adjusting for age, sex and % body fat, and lower NF-kappaB, higher adiponectin and adipsin in unadjusted and adjusted models. Higher E-DII score was associated with increased total cholesterol (beta = 0.364; 95%CI: 0.066, 0.390) and LDL-cholesterol (beta = 0.305; 95%CI: 0.019, 0.287) but not with adiposity, glucose metabolism, cytokines or adipokines.

The primary endpoint was the risk of acute DVT following the TKA, and the secondary endpoint was the length of hospital stay, and the outcomes were stratified for the baseline's optimal MLR, NLR, PLR, SII, SIRI, and AISI cut-off value. Results: DVT patients were associated with higher age (p = 0.01), higher incidence of cardiac disease [arterial hypertension (p = 0.02), atrial fibrillation (p = 0.01)], malignancy (p = 0.005), as well as risk factors [smoking (p = 0.03) and obesity (p = 0.02)]. Multivariate analysis showed a high baseline value for all hematological ratios: MLR (OR: 11.06; p < 0.001), NLR (OR: 10.15; p < 0.001), PLR (OR: 12.31; p < 0.001), SII (OR: 18.87; p < 0.001), SIRI (OR: 10.86; p < 0.001), and AISI (OR: 14.05; p < 0.001) was an independent predictor of DVT after TKA for all recruited patients. Moreover, age above 70 (OR: 2.96; p = 0.007), AH (OR: 2.93; p = 0.02), AF (OR: 2.71; p = 0.01), malignancy (OR: 3.98; p = 0.002), obesity (OR: 2.34; p = 0.04), and tobacco (OR: 2.30; p = 0.04) were all independent predictors of DVT risk. Conclusions : Higher pre-operative hematological ratios MLR, NLR, PLR, SII, SIRI, and AISI values determined before operations strongly predict acute DVT following TKA. Moreover, age over 70, malignancy, cardiovascular disease, and risk factors such as obesity and tobacco were predictive risk factors for acute DVT. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fmedicina58101502 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Melinte&issn=1010-660X&title=Medicina+%28Kaunas%2C+Lithuania%29&atitle=Inflammatory+Biomarkers+as+Prognostic+Factors+of+Acute+Deep+Vein+Thrombosis+Following+the+Total+Knee+Arthroplasty.&volume=58&issue=10&spage=1502&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fmedicina58101502&pmid=36295662&sid=OVID:medline + +<389> +Unique Identifier + 36258233 +Title + Effects of a high-fat meal on inflammatory and endothelial injury biomarkers in accordance with adiposity status: a cross-sectional study. +Source + Nutrition Journal. 21(1):65, 2022 10 19. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + de Souza MDGC; Maranhao PA; Panazzolo DG; Nogueira Neto JF; Bouskela E; Kraemer-Aguiar LG +Authors Full Name + de Souza, Maria das Gracas Coelho; Maranhao, Priscila Alves; Panazzolo, Diogo Guarnieri; Nogueira Neto, Jose Firmino; Bouskela, Eliete; Kraemer-Aguiar, Luiz Guilherme. +Institution + de Souza, Maria das Gracas Coelho.

Our purpose was to investigate if the MD observed after a single HFM intake is caused by endothelial damage or increased inflammatory state, both determined by blood biomarkers. + + METHODS: Nineteen women with obesity (BMI 30-34.9 kg/m2) and 18 eutrophic ones (BMI 20.0-24.9 kg/m2) were enrolled into two groups: Obese (OBG) and Control (CG), respectively. Blood samples were collected at five-time points: before (fasting state) and 30, 60, 120, and 180 min after HFM intake to determine levels of adipokines (adiponectin, leptin), non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), inflammatory [tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6)] and endothelium damage [soluble E-selectin, soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1)] biomarkers. + + RESULTS: Levels of soluble E-selectin, leptin, and PAI-1 were higher in OBG at all-time points (P < 0.05) compared to CG. In the fasting state, OBG had higher levels of NEFA compared to CG (P < 0.05). In intra-group analysis, no significant change in the levels of circulating inflammatory and endothelial injury biomarkers was observed after HFM intake, independently of the group. + + CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that women with obesity have an increased pro-inflammatory state and more significant endothelial injury compared to eutrophic ones. However, the consumption of a HFM was not sufficient to change circulating levels of inflammatory and endothelial injury biomarkers in either group. + + REGISTRATION NUMBER FOR CLINICAL TRIALS: NCT01692327.

Metabolomics provides substantial insights into the biological understanding of environmental factors such as diet. This study aimed to identify metabolomic markers of regression to normoglycemia in the context of a lifestyle intervention (LSI) in individuals with prediabetes. + + RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We conducted a single-arm intervention study with 24 weeks of follow-up. Eligible study participants had at least one prediabetes criteria according to the American Diabetes Association guidelines, and body mass index between 25 and 45 kg/m2. LSI refers to a hypocaloric diet and >150 min of physical activity per week. Regression to normoglycemia (RNGR) was defined as achieving hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) <5.5% in the final visit. Baseline and postintervention plasma metabolomic profiles were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. To select metabolites associated with RNGR, we conducted the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-penalized regressions. + + RESULTS: The final sample was composed of 82 study participants. Changes in three metabolites were significantly associated with regression to normoglycemia; N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (OR=0.54; 95% CI 0.32 to 0.82), putrescine (OR=0.90, 95% CI 0.81 to 0.98), and 7-methylguanine (OR=1.06; 95% CI 1.02 to 1.17), independent of HbA1c and weight loss. In addition, metabolomic perturbations due to LSI displayed enrichment of taurine and hypotaurine metabolism pathway (p=0.03) compatible with biomarkers of protein consumption, lower red meat and animal fats and higher seafood and vegetables. + + CONCLUSIONS: Evidence from this study suggests that specific metabolomic markers have an influence on glucose regulation in individuals with prediabetes after 24 weeks of LSI independently of other treatment effects such as weight loss.

The present study aimed to assess the oxidative status in relation to diet and physical activity in patients with OA. We used a cross-sectional study applied to 98 females with OA. Blood samples were collected to determine oxidative stress markers: malonyl dialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and GSH/GSSG. Diet was estimated with a standardized food frequency questionnaire. We used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to assess the females' physical activity. Multiple regression analyses were executed to determine the association between the oxidative markers and the intake of vegetables and fruit. The study showed that most patients were overweight or obese (88.8%). The level of physical activity was above the recommended level for adults, mainly based on household activities. The intake of vegetables and fruit was low. The MDA marker was inversely, statistically significantly associated with the consumption of vegetables (p < 0.05). Public health policies must address modifiable risk factors to reduce energy intake and obesity and increase the intake of vegetables and fruit. Higher consumption of vegetables and fruit may provide natural antioxidants that can balance oxidative compounds. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers).

It is characterized by metabolic, reproductive, and psychological alterations. PCOS prevalence is related to body mass index (BMI). Women with BMI < 25 kg/m2 have a prevalence of 4.3%, whereas women with BMI > 30 kg/m2 have a prevalence of 14%. Moreover, women with PCOS have a risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) two-fold higher than controls, independently of BMI. Both PCOS and T2DM are also consequences of lower serum sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels, which is currently considered a biomarker of metabolic disorders, in particular T2DM. Aim: To evaluate the effect of the very-low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) on markers suggested to be predictive of metabolic and ovulatory dysfunction. These comprehend SHBG, anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), and progesterone levels on day 21 of the menstrual cycle in a cohort of obese non-diabetic women with PCOS and regular menses. Methods: Twenty-five patients (mean age 25.4 +/- 3.44 years) with obesity and PCOS underwent VLCKD for 12 weeks. Each of them underwent measurements of anthropometric parameters (body weight, height, and waist circumference) and blood testing to evaluate serum levels of SHBG, AMH, and progesterone before and after 12 weeks of VLCKD. Results: At enrollment, all patients had high BMI, WC, and AMH, whereas SHBG and progesterone levels were low. After VLCKD, the patients showed a significant reduction in BMI, WC, and HOMA index. In particular, 76% of patients (19/25) switched from obesity to overweight, and the HOMA index normalized, reaching values lower than 2.5 in 96% (24/25) of patients. In addition, serum AMH levels significantly decreased, and progesterone and SHBG significantly increased after VLCKD. Conclusions : This is the first study documenting the effects of VLCKD on ovarian reserve and luteal function in women with PCOS. VLCKD could be used to improve metabolic and ovulatory dysfunction in women with PCOS.

One of the largest risk factors for endometrial cancer is obesity. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in the transcriptome of endometrial cancers from obese vs. lean women. Here we investigate the transcriptome of endometrial cancer between obese and lean postmenopausal women using rRNA-depleted RNA-Seq data from endometrial cancer tissues and matched adjacent non-cancerous endometrial tissues. Differential expression analysis identified 12,484 genes (6370 up-regulated and 6114 down-regulated) in endometrial cancer tissues from obese women, and 6219 genes (3196 up-regulated and 3023 down-regulated) in endometrial cancer tissues from lean women (adjusted p-value < 0.1). A gene ontology enrichment analysis revealed that the top 1000 up-regulated genes (by adjusted p-value) were enriched for growth and proliferation pathways while the top 1000 down-regulated genes were enriched for cytoskeleton restructure networks in both obese and lean endometrial cancer tissues. In this study, we also show perturbations in the expression of protein coding genes (HIST1H2BL, HIST1H3F, HIST1H2BH, HIST1H1B, TTK, PTCHD1, ASPN, PRELP, and CDH13) and the lncRNA MBNL1-AS1 in endometrial cancer tissues. Overall, this study has identified gene expression changes that are similar and also unique to endometrial cancers from obese vs. lean women. Furthermore, some of these genes may serve as prognostic biomarkers or, possibly, therapeutic targets for endometrial cancer. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Long Noncoding). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fijms231911471 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Takenaka&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Investigation+of+Transcriptome+Patterns+in+Endometrial+Cancers+from+Obese+and+Lean+Women.&volume=23&issue=19&spage=11471&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fijms231911471&pmid=36232772&sid=OVID:medline + +<394> +Unique Identifier + 36231972 +Title + Effect of Sprint Interval Training on Cardiometabolic Biomarkers and Adipokine Levels in Adolescent Boys with Obesity. +Source + International Journal of Environmental Research & Public Health [Electronic Resource]. 19(19), 2022 10 03. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Salus M; Tillmann V; Remmel L; Unt E; Maestu E; Parm U; Magi A; Tali M; Jurimae J +Author NameID + Salus, Marit; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1425-6990 + Tillmann, Vallo; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5279-4493 + Maestu, Evelin; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2939-9890 + Jurimae, Jaak; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4819-5241 +Authors Full Name + Salus, Marit; Tillmann, Vallo; Remmel, Liina; Unt, Eve; Maestu, Evelin; Parm, Ulle; Magi, Agnes; Tali, Maie; Jurimae, Jaak. +Institution + Salus, Marit.

Thirty-seven boys were allocated to either a SIT group (13.1 +/- 0.3 years; body mass index [BMI]: 30.3 +/- 0.9 kg.m-2) or a control group (CONT) (13.7 +/- 0.4 years; BMI: 32.6 +/- 1.6 kg.m-2). The SIT group performed 4-6 x 30 s all-out cycling sprints, interspersed with 4 min rest, for 3 sessions/week, during a 12-week period, while the non-exercising CONT group maintained a habitual lifestyle. Anthropometric measurements, triglycerides, fasting insulin and glucose, total cholesterol (TC), high- (HDLc) and low-density (LDLc) cholesterol, leptin and adiponectin in blood, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and a metabolic syndrome severity risk score (MSSS) were calculated before and after the 12-week period. Compared to baseline values, a significant reduction in MSSS was seen in the SIT group after intervention. LDLc showed favorable changes in SIT compared to CONT (-0.06 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.19 +/- 0.01 mmol.L-1; p = 0.025). Additionally, CRF increased in the SIT group compared to the CONT group (5.2 +/- 1.1 vs. -2.1 +/- 1.1 mL.min-1.kg-1, p < 0.001). Moreover, a 12-week all-out SIT training effectively improves cardiometabolic health in adolescent boys with obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Triglycerides).

It is associated with cardiac and metabolic diseases. Epicardial adipose tissue is associated with risk factors for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and diabetes. In this study, we examined the importance of Epicardial adipose tissue as a predictor of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. + + METHODS: Patients who were admitted to the Dicle University Medicine Faculty Heart Hospital between November 2013 and August 2014 were recruited for the study. The heart failure group consisted of 30 patients who were admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit, and the control group consisted of 30 patients who were admitted to cardiology polyclinics. We care about patients' demographic and clinical features to be similar. Heart failure was diagnosed according to the European Cardiology Society 2012 heart failure guidelines. Epicardial adipose tissue was measured with a transthoracic parasternal long axis with an echocardiography device (GE Vivid S6). We compared the Epicardial adipose tissue measurements between the two groups. + + RESULTS: Epicardial adipose tissue was higher in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction than in the control group (9.21+/-0.82 and 7.13+/-1.39 mm, respectively; p<0.001). Echocardiographic findings associated with left ventricular hypertrophy were intact ventricular septum (13.03+/-0.57 and 12.11+/-2.22 mm, respectively; p=0.013) and left ventricular mass index (131.13+/-18.00 and 117.90+/-20.30 g/m2, respectively; p=0.010). Findings associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction were as follows: left atrial volume index (60.71+/-21.53 and 44.92+/-9.93 mL/m2, respectively; p<0.001) and E/e (13.87+/-3.88 and 10.12+/-2.44, respectively; p<0.001) were higher in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction than in the control group. Body mass index was not a significant indicator of obesity (p=0.097), but waist circumference was a significant indicator of visceral obesity (p<0.001). Logistic regression analyses indicated that Epicardial adipose tissue, age, left atrial volume index, left ventricular mass index, waist circumference, and E/e were significant in the Heart failure group; Epicardial adipose tissue was significant (p=0.012), and waist circumference significance was borderline (p=0.045). + + CONCLUSIONS: Epicardial adipose tissue was higher in patients with HF than in the control group, and Epicardial adipose tissue was a predictor of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. In patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, increased Epicardial adipose tissue means that Epicardial adipose tissue can be used as a biomarker of inflammation in the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.1590%2f1806-9282.20220069 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ates&issn=0104-4230&title=Revista+Da+Associacao+Medica+Brasileira&atitle=Importance+of+epicardial+adipose+tissue+as+a+predictor+of+heart+failure+with+preserved+ejection+fraction.&volume=68&issue=9&spage=1178&epage=1184&date=2022&doi=10.1590%2F1806-9282.20220069&pmid=36228249&sid=OVID:medline + +<396> +Unique Identifier + 36227107 +Title + Altered Gut Microbial Profile Accompanied by Abnormal Fatty Acid Metabolism Activity Exacerbates Endometrial Cancer Progression. +Source + Microbiology Spectrum. 10(6):e0261222, 2022 12 21. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Zhao SS; Chen L; Yang J; Wu ZH; Wang XY; Zhang Q; Liu WJ; Liu HX +Author NameID + Liu, Hui-Xin; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8981-9981 +Authors Full Name + Zhao, Shan-Shan; Chen, Lei; Yang, Jing; Wu, Zhen-Hua; Wang, Xiao-Yu; Zhang, Qi; Liu, Wen-Jie; Liu, Hui-Xin. +Institution + Zhao, Shan-Shan.

However, no direct evidence of a relationship between EC and gut microbiota in humans has been discovered. Here, we performed 16S rRNA sequencing to explore the relationship between dysbiosis of gut microbiota and cancer development in different types of EC patients. The results clearly show the differential profiles of gut microbiota between EC patients and normal participants as well as the association between gut microbiota and EC progression. Targeted metabolomics of plasma revealed an increased level of C16:1 and C20:2, which was positively associated with the abundance of Ruminococcus sp. N15.MGS-57. The higher richness of Ruminococcus sp. N15.MGS-57 in EC subjects not only was positively associated with blood C16:1 and C20:2 but also was negatively correlated with betalain and indole alkaloid biosynthesis. Furthermore, the combined marker panel of gut bacteria, blood metabolites, and clinical indices could distinguish the EC patients under lean and overweight conditions from normal subjects with high accuracy in both discovery and validation sets. In addition, the alteration of tumor microenvironment metabolism of EC was characterized by imaging mass microscopy. Spatial visualization of fatty acids showed that C16:1 and C18:1 obviously accumulate in tumor tissue, and C16:1 may promote EC cell invasion and metastasis through mTOR signaling. The aberrant fecal microbiome, more specifically, Ruminococcus sp. N15.MGS-57 and spatially distributed C16:1 in EC tissues, can be used as a biomarker of clinical features and outcomes and provide a new therapeutic target for clinical treatment. IMPORTANCE A growing number of studies have shown the connection between gut microbiota, obesity, and cancer. However, to our knowledge, the association between gut microbiota and endometrial cancer progression in humans has not been studied. We recruited EC and control individuals as research participants and further subgrouped subjects by body mass index to examine the association between gut microbiota, metabolites, and clinical indices. The higher richness of Ruminococcus sp. N15.MGS-57 in EC subjects was not only positively associated with blood C16:1 but also negatively correlated with betalain and indole alkaloid biosynthesis. Spatial visualization of fatty acids by imaging mass microscopy showed that C16:1 obviously accumulates in tumor tissue, and C16:1 may promote the EC cell invasion and metastasis through mTOR signaling. The aberrant fecal microbiome, more specifically, Ruminococcus sp.

The microbiota in the caecum or fresh faeces and metabolites in blood or urine contribute to obesity resistance; however, the microbiota or metabolites in the small intestine have not been extensively studied. + + METHODS: To investigate the relationship between the microbiota or metabolites in the small intestine and susceptibility to obesity, eighty-eight male C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks to establish two models of obesity and obesity resistance. For further study, six mice were chosen from among the obesity models, and twelve mice were randomly chosen from among the obesity resistance models. After fasting plasma glucose and behavioural testing, the mice were fed in single cages for another 4 weeks to observe their weight and food intake. All mice were sacrificed at 20 weeks of age. Serum ALT, AST, HDL, LDL, TG and TC levels were measured using an automatic biochemical analyser. The microbiota and metabolites in the small intestine contents were analysed using 16 S sequencing and an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatographic system, respectively. Transcripts in the jejunum were evaluated using full-length transcriptome sequencing and verified by qPCR. + + RESULTS: The results showed that HFD induced depression and anxiety behaviours and higher fasting plasma glucose, ALT, AST, HDL, LDL, TG and TC levels in the obese mice; however, these levels were improved in obese resistance mice. The correlation analysis showed that the phosphatidylcholine, TG, and phosphatidylethanolamine levels were higher in obese mice and correlated positively with intestinal microflora (Desulfovibrio and Gemella) and the Cxcl10 gene. A higher abundance of Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 in obesity-resistant mice correlated negatively with the metabolite contents (neuromedin N and enkephalin L) and Pck1 gene expression and correlated positively with certain metabolites (5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan, cinnamyl alcohol and 1 H-indole-3-acetamide) and genes expression (Gdf15, Igfbp6 and Spp1). + + CONCLUSION: Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1, neuromedin N, enkephalin L, Pck1, 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan, Cxcl10 and cinnamyl alcohol may be novel biomarkers in the small intestine for obesity/obesity resistance.

IR is the major risk factor in the development and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus in obesity and MBS. Predicting preoperatively whether a patient with obesity would have improved or non-improved IR after bariatric surgery would improve treatment decisions. + + METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted between August 2019 and September 2021. We identified pre- and postoperative metabolic biomarkers in patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Patients were divided into two groups: group A (IR < 2.5), with improved IR, and group B (IR >= 2.5), with non-improved IR. A prediction model and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) were used to determine the effect of metabolic biomarkers on IR. + + RESULTS: Seventy patients with obesity and MBS were enrolled. At 12-month postoperative a significant improvement in lipid profile, fasting blood glucose, and hormonal biomarkers and a significant reduction in the BMI in all patients (p = 0.008) were visible. HOMA-IR significantly decreased in 57.14% of the patients postoperatively. Significant effects on the change in HOMA-IR >= 2.5 were the variables; preoperative BMI, leptin, ghrelin, leptin/ghrelin ratio (LGr), insulin, and triglyceride with an OR of 1.6,1.82, 1.33, 1.69, 1.77, and 1.82, respectively (p = 0.009 towards p = 0.041). Leptin had the best predictive cutoff value on ROC (86% sensitivity and 92% specificity), whereas ghrelin had the lowest (70% sensitivity and 73% specificity). + + CONCLUSION: Preoperative BMI, leptin, ghrelin, LGr, and increased triglycerides have a predictive value on higher postoperative, non-improved patients with HOMA-IR (>= 2.5). Therefore, assessing metabolic biomarkers can help decide on treatment/extra therapy and outcome before surgery. Copyright © 2022.

This meta-analysis is aimed at evaluating whether PCOS patients present with a higher NLR and whether obesity, metabolic, and hormonal indices have effects on the states. + + METHODS: We performed a literature search on PubMed, Embase and Web of Science (last update: August 2, 2022). Pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by applying random-effects models. Meta-regression analyses were used to explore the sources of heterogeneity and assess the relationship between NLR and several clinical parameters. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias were also assessed. + + RESULTS: Thirteen studies involving 826 PCOS patients and 780 healthy controls were eligible for the present meta-analysis. Generally, NLR significantly increased in PCOS women versus healthy women (SMD = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.30-1.33, P = .002). NLR disparity was subsequently investigated in obese and non-obese cohorts. Obese PCOS women exhibited a higher NLR than obese controls (SMD = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.24-0.87, P = .001), and a similar difference was shown between non-obese PCOS and non-obese controls (SMD = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.02-0.71, P = .038). No significant NLR disparity was observed between obese versus non-obese PCOS women (SMD = 0.50, 95% CI = -0.37 to 1.38, P = .259). Meta-regression analysis revealed that NLR was significantly positively associated with fasting blood glucose (P = .006) and total cholesterol levels (P = .021), but not correlated with body mass index and other parameters in PCOS patients. Sensitivity analysis indicated that no individual study significantly affected the overall pooled result, and no publishing bias was observed. + + CONCLUSION: PCOS women typically present with an increased NLR. Such an increase is independent of obesity and may be associated with glycolipid metabolic disorders. Copyright © 2022 the Author(s).

Maternal obesity (MO), common in western societies, impedes development of intestinal epithelium in the fetuses, which causes disorders in the nutrient absorption and intestine-related immune responses in offspring. Here, using a mouse model of maternal exercise (ME), we found that exercise during pregnancy protects the impairment of fetal intestinal morphometrical formation and epithelial development due to MO. MO decreased villus length and epithelial proliferation markers in E18.5 fetal small intestine, which was increased due to ME. The expression of the epithelial differentiation markers, Lyz1, Muc2, and Tff3, in fetal small intestine was decreased due to MO, but protected by ME. Consistently, the biomarkers related to mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative metabolism were downregulated in MO fetal small intestine but recovered by ME. Apelin injection to dams partially mirrored the beneficial effects of ME. ME and apelin injection activated AMPK, the downstream target of apelin receptor signaling, which might mediate the improvement of fetal epithelial development and oxidative metabolism. These findings suggest that ME, a highly accessible intervention, is effective in improving fetal intestinal epithelium of obese dams. Apelin-AMPK-mitochondrial biogenesis axis provides amenable therapeutic targets to facilitate fetal intestinal development of obese mothers. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Apelin).

Cancer-related sarcopenia negatively affects survival and is a predictive factor of anticancer drug toxicity. Sarcopenia diagnosis is challenging in routine care. We investigated whether plasma creatinine and cystatin C predict sarcopenia diagnosis in the specific population of cancer patients. + + METHODS: Two common diagnostic criteria of cancer-related sarcopenia based on skeletal muscle mass +/- handgrip strength were separately applied as the "gold standard" sarcopenia definition. Four sarcopenia indexes based on creatinine and cystatin C values were evaluated: Creatinine/Cystatin C, Glomerular Filter rate (GFR) Cockroft-Gault/GFR CKD-EPI, GFR Cockroft-Gault/GFR Grubb and GFR Cockroft-Gault/GFR simple. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the ROC curves were applied to evaluate the sarcopenia diagnostic accuracy of the four different sarcopenia indexes. + + RESULTS: A total of 99 patients were included. Among them, 47.5% were overweight or obese. The ratio creatinine/cystatin C (ratio value at 0.8) more accurately predicts the diagnosis of sarcopenia in the entire population based on low skeletal muscle mass and low handgrip strength (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Youden index at 0.77, 0.57, 0.90, 0.34 respectively). The other evaluated ratios predict sarcopenia with a lower specificity in all conditions. In the overweight/obese group, the results are similar. The ratio creatinine/cystatin C (ratio value at 1) accurately predicts sarcopenia with a sensitivity, a specificity, an accuracy and a Youden index at 0.50, 0.86, 0.95, 0.36 respectively in overweight/obese population. + + CONCLUSIONS: The creatinine/cystatin C ratio is a useful and simple biomarker to predict sarcopenia in cancer patients. Moreover, this sarcopenia index also seems to be a strong sarcopenia diagnosis biomarker in overweight and obese cancer patients. Our results must be confirmed in a larger cohort.

Clinical trials suggest that orange juice may have a positive impact on lipid metabolism and blood lipid profiles; however conflicting results have been reported. Here, we applied a combined untargeted/targeted lipidomic analysis of plasma to examine the impact of orange (Citrus sinensis) juice intake on the lipidome profile of obese and insulin-resistant subjects. + + METHODS: Twenty-five participants, both sexes, aged 40-60 years, with obesity and insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index >2.71) ingested 400 mL of orange juice 'Pera' (C. sinensis) for 15 d. Cardiometabolic biomarkers, anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, and plasma lipidomic analysis results were assessed at the beginning and end of the intervention. + + RESULTS: After the 15-d intervention, a significant decrease was observed in the diastolic blood pressure and blood lipid profile. Among plasma lipidomes, 316 lipid molecules were identified, with the triglycerides (TGs) subclass being the most abundant (n = 106). Plasma lipidome profiling revealed a major signature of the intervention; with concentrations of 37 TG species decreasing after intervention. Qualitatively, oleic and linoleic acids were among the most prevalent fatty acids linked to the altered TG species, representing 50% of TG chains. Modulated TG species were positively correlated with total TG and very low-density lipoprotein levels, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure. A strong inter-individual trend was observed, wherein, compared with less responsive subjects, the high responsive subjects displayed the highest decrease in the concentrations of altered TG species, as as well as systolic blood pressure (decrease of 10.3 +/- 6.8 mmHg) and body weight (decrease of 0.67 +/- 0.71 kg). + + CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that orange juice has a positive impact on lipid metabolism, mainly regarding the composition of TG-specific fatty acid chains and cholesterol esters, protecting against insulin resistance. Furthermore, lipidomics may help clarify alterations at the molecular level after an intervention, contributing to improve the evaluation of the link between dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance, and nutrition.

Here, the anti-obesity effect of low molecular weight hydrolyzed guar gum (GMLP, 1-10 kDa) on high-fat diet (HFD)-fed C57BL/6 J mice was investigated via transcriptome and metabolome in liver. GMLP reduced body weight gain and hepatic lipid accumulation dose-dependently, regulated blood lipid levels, and improved liver damage in HFD-fed mice. Integrated transcriptome and metabolome indicated that GMLP mainly altered lipid metabolism pathways (glycerophospholipid metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, and fatty acid degradation), reduced disease biomarkers of ethyl glucuronide and neopterin, and increased levels of choline, flavin adenine dinucleotide, and pantetheine metabolites. Real-time quantitative PCR showed that GMLP downregulated key genes involved in de novo lipogenesis and triacylglycerol synthesis, while promoting fatty acid oxidation and choline synthesis. This study provides a theoretical basis for GMLP treatment in future clinical applications. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.

Subtle responses that may represent a health gain for individuals are not always detected by classical health variables, stressing the need for novel biomarkers that detect intermediate changes in metabolic, inflammatory, and immunity-related health. Here, our aim was to develop and validate a molecular multivariate biomarker maximally sensitive to the individual effect of a lifestyle intervention; the Personalized Lifestyle Intervention Status (PLIS). We used 1 H-NMR fasting blood metabolite measurements from before and after the 13-week combined physical and nutritional Growing Old TOgether (GOTO) lifestyle intervention study in combination with a fivefold cross-validation and a bootstrapping method to train a separate PLIS score for men and women. The PLIS scores consisted of 14 and four metabolites for females and males, respectively. Performance of the PLIS score in tracking health gain was illustrated by association of the sex-specific PLIS scores with several classical metabolic health markers, such as BMI, trunk fat%, fasting HDL cholesterol, and fasting insulin, the primary outcome of the GOTO study. We also showed that the baseline PLIS score indicated which participants respond positively to the intervention. Finally, we explored PLIS in an independent physical activity lifestyle intervention study, showing similar, albeit remarkably weaker, associations of PLIS with classical metabolic health markers. To conclude, we found that the sex-specific PLIS score was able to track the individual short-term metabolic health gain of the GOTO lifestyle intervention study. The methodology used to train the PLIS score potentially provides a useful instrument to track personal responses and predict the participant's health benefit in lifestyle interventions similar to the GOTO study.

We also evaluated the suitability of BIA-measured FFMI as a simple surrogate marker of the ASMI and calculated the optimal FFMI cutoff value for low muscle mass screening to diagnose sarcopenia. + + DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. + + SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: This study included 1313 adults (women, 33.6%) aged 40-87 years (mean age, 55 +/- 10 years) from the WASEDA'S Health Study. + + METHODS: Body composition was measured using multifrequency BIA and DXA. Low muscle mass was defined according to the criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019. + + RESULTS: BIA-measured FFMI showed strong positive correlations with both BIA- (r = 0.96) and DXA-measured (r = 0.95) ASMIs. Similarly, in the subgroup analysis according to age and obesity, the FFMI was correlated with the ASMI. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for screening low muscle mass defined by DXA-measured ASMI using BIA-measured FFMI values were 0.95 (95% CI 0.93-0.97) for men and 0.91 (95% CI 0.87-0.94) for women. The optimal BIA-measured FFMI cutoff values for screening low muscle mass defined by DXA-measured ASMI were 17.5 kg/m2 (sensitivity 89%, specificity 88%) for men and 14.6 kg/m2 (sensitivity 80%, specificity 86%) for women. + + CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The FFMI showed a strong positive correlation with BIA- and DXA-measured ASMIs, regardless of age and obesity. The FFMI could be a useful simple surrogate marker of the ASMI for low muscle mass screening in sarcopenia in community settings. The suggested FFMI cutoff values for predicting low muscle mass are <18 kg/m2 in men and <15 kg/m2 in women. Copyright © 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Body composition, BMD and bone microarchitecture were determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography (CT) and high-resolution peripheral CT (HR-pQCT). Bone turnover and potential regulators such as C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide (CTX), type 1 procollagen N-terminal peptide (PINP), sclerostin, periostin, parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), adiponectin, leptin and insulin were assessed. + + Main outcome: Planned exploratory analysis of the relationships between fat compartments, areal and volumetric BMD, bone microarchitecture, bone turnover markers and bone regulators. + + Results: Compared with NW, OB had lower CTX, PINP, adiponectin, IGF1, and 25OHD and higher leptin, PTH and insulin (all P < 0.05). CTX and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) were the bone marker and fat compartment most consistently associated with areal and volumetric BMD. In regression models, SAT was negatively associated with CTX (P < 0.001). When leptin was added to the model, SAT was no longer associated with CTX, but leptin (P < 0.05) was negatively associated with CTX. + + Conclusions: SAT is associated with lower bone resorption and properties favourable for bone strength in obesity. Leptin may be an important mediator of the effects of SAT on the skeleton. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 67763-96-6 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor I). 0 (Insulins). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Parathyroid Hormone). 0 (Procollagen). +Publication Type + Observational Study.

This study aimed to explore the relationship and its meditating factors between EO exposure and the major cardiovascular risk factor of obesity among the general adult population. + + Methods: Cross-sectional data of 3,220 participants from National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2016 were enrolled. Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) >=30 kg/m2, and abdominal obesity was defined as waist circumference (WC) >=102 cm in men and >=88 cm in women. The association among hemoglobin adduct of EO (HbEO), inflammatory biomarkers, and obesity was evaluated using restricted cubic splines and the multivariable linear regression model. Mediation analysis was used to further assess their association. + + Results: The increased quartiles of HbEO were inversely associated with BMI and WC [Q1 vs. Q4, BMI: beta = -2.98 (-3.74, -2.22), WC: beta = -6.50 (-8.60, -4.39); all p for trend < 0.05], and were inversely associated with obesity after full adjustment [obesity: OR = 0.43 (0.31, 0.58), abdominal obesity: OR = 0.42 (0.27, 0.65); all p for trend < 0.05]. The levels of alkaline phosphatase, white blood cells, lymphocytes, and neutrophils were also positively associated with BMI and WC (all p < 0.05). Mediation analysis showed that exposure of EO not only had a negative direct effect on BMI and WC, but also generated an inverse indirect effect. + + Conclusions: Current findings showed an inverse association between HbEO and obesity, and suggested that systemic inflammation may not be their only mediator. Additional research is required to explore the underlying link of EO and system metabolism.

It has previously been reported that NfL measured in blood serum is inversely related to body mass index. However, no reports exist with regard to body composition assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis or other indicators of obesity beyond BMI. We analyzed the relationship between sNfL and body composition according to the three compartment model. Additionally, associations between sNfL, body shape index, waist-to-height ratio, and BMI were examined. The sample consisted of 769 participants assessed during the baseline examination and 693 participants examined in the course of the follow-up of the BiDirect Study. Associations between sNfL, BMI, BSI, and WtHR were separately analyzed using linear mixed models. Body compartments operationalized as fat mass, extracellular cell mass, and body cell mass were derived using BIA and the relationship with sNfL was analyzed with a linear mixed model. Lastly, we also analyzed the association between total body water and sNfL. We found significant inverse associations of sNfL with BMI and WtHR. The analysis of the three compartment model yielded significant inverse associations between sNfL, body cell mass and body fat mass, but not extracellular mass. Furthermore, total body water was also inversely related to sNfL. A potential mechanism could involve body cell mass and body fat mass as highly adaptive body constituents that either directly absorb sNfL, or promote the formation of new vasculature and thereby increase blood volume.

The objective was to identify anthropometric cut-off points that allow discriminating subjects at increased risk of presenting high blood pressure and glycemia in Argentine adults. + + Methods: The results of the 4th Argentine ENFR were used. Subjects aged 18 to 65 years who had blood pressure, blood glucose, and anthropometry directly measured were included (n=4254 and 1683 subjects of both sexes for high blood pressure and blood glucose, respectively). The area under the ROC curve was calculated. The optimal cut-off point was the one with the smallest difference between sensitivity and specificity. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) were calculated for each point. + + Results: In men, the cut-off points for high blood pressure were WC=91.5 cm (aOR= 3.55; 95% CI=2.97-4.24), WHtR=0.541 (aOR=3.12; 95% CI =2.61-3.73) and BMI=27.0 kg/m2 (aOR=3.04; CI95%=2.55-3.63); and for high blood glucose WC=94.5 cm (aOR=2.46; 95% CI=1.64-3.70), WHtR =0.559 (aOR=2.35; 95% CI=1.55-3.55) and BMI=28.6 kg/m2 (aOR= 3.23; CI95%=2.14-4.88). In women, for high blood pressure, WC=88.5 cm (aOR=3.57; 95% CI=2.84-4.41), WHtR=0.542 (aOR=3.45; 95% CI=2.79- 4.27) and BMI=26.7 kg/m2 (aOR=3.25; CI95%=2.64-4.02); and for high blood glucose WC=93.5 cm (aOR=4.28; 95% CI=2.72-6.75), WHtR =0.573 (aOR=3.61; 95% CI=2.31-5.66) and BMI=27.8 kg/m2 (aOR= 3.14; CI95%=2.03-4.87). + + Conclusion: Argentine adults who have WC measured on the skin and are above the cut-off points identified here, have a significantly higher risk of presenting high blood pressure and hiperglycemia.

EVs have emerged as a relevant cellular communication system and carriers of disease biomarkers. Therefore, characterization of the protein cargo of batosomes might reveal their potential as biomarkers of the metabolic activity of BAT. In this study, we are the first to isolate batosomes from lean and obese Sprague-Dawley rats, and to establish reference proteome maps. An LC-SWATH/MS analysis was also performed for comparisons with EVs secreted by white adipose tissue (subcutaneous and visceral WAT), and it showed that 60% of proteins were exclusive to BAT EVs. Precisely, batosomes of lean animals contain proteins associated with mitochondria, lipid metabolism, the electron transport chain, and the beta-oxidation pathway, and their protein cargo profile is dramatically affected by high fat diet (HFD) intervention. Thus, in obesity, batosomes are enriched with proteins involved in signal transduction, cell communication, the immune response, inflammation, thermogenesis, and potential obesity biomarkers including UCP1, Glut1, MIF, and ceruloplasmin. In conclusion, the protein cargo of BAT EVs is affected by the metabolic status and contains potential biomarkers of thermogenesis activity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glucose Transporter Type 1). 0 (Proteome). 0 (Uncoupling Protein 1).

The examination of targeted biomarkers could be used to improve the diagnosis and prediction of life-threatening ALL sequelae. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to search for treatment-related alterations in apolipoprotein (Apo) levels as potential markers of the occurrence of obesity in subjects treated for ALL, and to assess the relationships between weight, gender, anticancer treatment, and Apo concentrations. Fifty-eight ALL survivors were included in the study. The mean time of follow-up after treatment cessation was 5.41 +/- 4.29 years. Serum levels of apolipoproteins were measured using a multiplex assay kit. Among ALL survivors, we observed a significant correlation of Apo-C1, Apo-C3, Apo-H, and Apo-J levels, depending on body mass index (BMI). Marked differences were observed in the area under the curve of Apo-A1, Apo-A2, Apo-C1, Apo-D. In our study, patients with a history of childhood ALL developed alterations in their Apo profile. Furthermore, this is the first study revealing that some apolipoproteins may act as valuable biomarkers useful in the prognosis of metabolic imbalance. We believe that this paper, at least partially, will highlight the importance of long-term prognosis of metabolic complications associated with the anticancer chemotherapy used to treat hematological malignancies in children. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fijms231810634 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Sztolsztener&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Apolipoproteins-New+Biomarkers+of+Overweight+and+Obesity+among+Childhood+Acute+Lymphoblastic+Leukemia+Survivors%3F.&volume=23&issue=18&spage=10634&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fijms231810634&pmid=36142534&sid=OVID:medline + +<412> +Unique Identifier + 36139454 +Title + Dectin-1 as a Potential Inflammatory Biomarker for Metabolic Inflammation in Adipose Tissue of Individuals with Obesity. +Source + Cells. 11(18), 2022 09 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Al Madhoun A; Kochumon S; Al-Rashed F; Sindhu S; Thomas R; Miranda L; Al-Mulla F; Ahmad R +Author NameID + Al Madhoun, Ashraf; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8593-3878 + Al-Rashed, Fatema; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5825-7701 + Sindhu, Sardar; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9936-1575 + Al-Mulla, Fahd; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5409-3829 + Ahmad, Rasheed; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5746-0743 +Authors Full Name + Al Madhoun, Ashraf; Kochumon, Shihab; Al-Rashed, Fatema; Sindhu, Sardar; Thomas, Reeby; Miranda, Lavina; Al-Mulla, Fahd; Ahmad, Rasheed. +Institution + Al Madhoun, Ashraf.

Although dectin-1 is primarily a pathogen recognition receptor and innate immune response modulator, its role in metabolic syndromes remains to be clarified. This study aimed to investigate the dectin-1 gene expression in subcutaneous AT in the context of obesity and associated inflammatory markers. Subcutaneous AT biopsies were collected from 59 nondiabetic (lean/overweight/obese) individuals. AT gene expression levels of dectin-1 and inflammatory markers were determined via real-time reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Dectin-1 protein expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry. Plasma lipid profiles were measured by ELISA. AT dectin-1 transcripts and proteins were significantly elevated in obese as compared to lean individuals. AT dectin-1 transcripts correlated positively with body mass index and fat percentage (r >= 0.340, p <= 0.017). AT dectin-1 RNA levels correlated positively with clinical parameters, including plasma C-reactive protein and CCL5/RANTES, but negatively with that of adiponectin. The expression of dectin-1 transcripts was associated with that of various proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and their cognate receptors (r >= 0.300, p <= 0.05), but not with anti-inflammatory markers. Dectin-1 and members of the TLR signaling cascade were found to be significantly associated, suggesting an interplay between the two pathways. Dectin-1 expression was correlated with monocyte/macrophage markers, including CD16, CD68, CD86, and CD163, suggesting its monocytes/macrophage association in an adipose inflammatory microenvironment. Dectin-1 expression was independently predicted by CCR5, CCL20, TLR2, and MyD88. In conclusion, dectin-1 may be regarded as an AT biomarker of metabolic inflammation in obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (CLEC7A protein, human). 0 (Chemokine CCL5). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Lectins, C-Type). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Myeloid Differentiation Factor 88). 0 (Toll-Like Receptor 2). 63231-63-0 (RNA). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein).

The composition of a Mediterranean diet provides favourable outcomes on weight reduction and inflammatory markers. Aim: This systematic review aimed to investigate the effects of consuming a Mediterranean diet on BMI and inflammatory markers of obese/overweight adults (>=18 years) at risk of developing severe COVID-19 outcomes. Methods: PubMed Central, Cochrane Library and MEDLINE databases were searched to identify randomised controlled trials published between January 2010 to August 2021 evaluating the impact of Mediterranean diet on BMI and inflammatory markers in overweight/obese adults. The review followed the PRISMA checklist, used Cochrane Collaboration search strategies, and is PROSPERO registered (CRD42021277070). Two authors independently screened and evaluated studies for methodological quality. Papers were extracted and included based eligibility, despite risk of bias scores. Results: Of 65 extracted records, six studies met the eligibility criteria and were included. Reductions in BMI, TNF-alpha, IL-6 and hs-CRP were reported amongst most findings, the majority of which were significant. Conclusion: The main findings indicate a hypocaloric, fibre dense Mediterranean diet is a short-term (<4 months) mitigation strategy to significantly reduce BMI and inflammatory markers amongst overweight/obese adults at risk of developing severe COVID-19 outcomes. Further research is now needed to examine the role of Mediterranean diet in COVID-19 prevalence, severity, morbidity and mortality. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Systematic Review.

To date, variable results are reported in studies of the effect of obesity and controlled weight reduction on cardiovascular morphology and function in dogs. This prospective study aimed to assess cardiac function, heart rate variability, cardiac biomarkers and body composition before and after weight reduction in pet dogs with obesity. Twenty-four client-owned dogs referred for weight management due to obesity were recruited. To assess the cardiac effects of obesity, body composition analysis (by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, DEXA) and cardiovascular assessment (echocardiography, Doppler blood pressure, electrocardiography, cardiac biomarkers) were performed prior to weight management. Twelve dogs completed the study and reached target weight, receiving a further cardiovascular assessment and DEXA. A Wilcoxon-signed rank test was used to compare each variable pre- and post- weight reduction. + + RESULTS: Median (interquartile range) duration of weight loss was 224 days (124-245 days), percentage weight loss was 23% (18-31%) of starting weight. Median change in body fat mass was -50% (-44% to -55%; P = 0.004), whilst median change in lean mass was -7% (+ 1% to -18%, P = 0.083). Before weight reduction, diastolic dysfunction (evidence of impaired relaxation in all dogs), increased left ventricular wall thickness and mildly elevated systolic blood pressure (14/24 >= 160 mmHg, median 165 mmHg (140-183)) were common features in dogs with obesity. However, systolic left ventricular wall dimensions were the only variables that changed after weight reduction, with a decrease in both the systolic interventricular septum (P = 0.029) and systolic left ventricular free wall (P = 0.017). There was no evidence of decreased heart rate variability in dogs with obesity (P = 0.367), and no change in cardiac biomarker concentrations with weight reduction (N-terminal proBNP, P = 0.262; cardiac troponin I P = 0.657). + + CONCLUSIONS: Canine obesity results in diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy, the latter of which improves with significant weight and fat mass reduction. Further studies are required to clarify the clinical consequences of these findings. Copyright © 2022.

The duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) is a minimally invasive endoscopic treatment option for patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Although beneficial effects of DJBL therapy on body weight reduction and glycemic control have been described, the effects of DJBL implantation on NAFLD is unknown. The aim of this study was to to evaluate the effects of DJBL implantation for 6 to 9 months on biochemical and clinical biomarkers of NAFLD in a large cohort of patients. + + METHODS: The effect of DJBL treatment on biochemical and clinical parameters of NAFLD were assessed in a study cohort of 71 patients with obesity and T2DM. DJBL was implanted for 9 to 12 months and patients were regularly monitored during the implantation period and for a follow-up period of 6 months after explantation. + + RESULTS: DJBL therapy was associated with a significant decrease in fatty liver index during time of implantation (explantation versus implantation: 93.38 versus 98.22, P < 0.001). Moreover, DJBL implantation was associated with decreases of alanine aminotransferase (29.03 versus 42.29 U/L, P < 0.0001) and cytokeratin-18 fragments (CK18 MF30; 190.6 versus 276 U/L, P < 0.0001), that further remained stable during 6 months after explantation. NAFLD fibrosis and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) scores decreased significantly during implantation (-0.83 versus 0.19, P < 0.001, 0.26 versus 0.36, P < 0.0001, respectively). + + CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate significant effects of DJBL treatment on biochemical and clinical markers of NAFLD activity. Significant effects of DJBL treatment on NAFLD fibrosis and APRI score further suggests protective effects of DJBL on liver-related morbidity and mortality in patients with obesity and T2DM.

Our aim was to identify to the associations between vitamin D levels and a large panel of anthropometric markers and adipokines. Cross-sectional study including 6485 participants. Anthropometric markers included body mass index (BMI), % body fat, waist, waist-to-hip (WHR), waist-to-height (WHtR), conicity index, body roundness index (BRI) and a body shape index (ABSI). 55.7% of women and 60.1% of men presented with vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D levels were negatively associated with most anthropometric markers, with correlation coefficients ranging between -0.017 (ABSI) and -0.192 (BMI) in women and between -0.026 (weight) and -0.130 (% body fat) in men. Vitamin D levels were inversely associated with leptin levels in both sexes and positively associated with adiponectin levels in women only. The likelihood of vitamin D deficiency increased with increasing adiposity levels, except for ABSI (women) and BMI (men). Total body fat, rather than localized or unevenly distributed body fat, is the adiposity marker most associated with decreased vitamin D levels. Monitoring vitamin D levels in people with overweight/obesity is essential. Copyright © 2022.

Here, we investigate associations of individual and combined physical activity and body mass index (BMI) groups with proinflammatory biomarkers in colorectal cancer patients. + + METHODS: Self-reported physical activity levels were classified as "active" (>=8.75 MET-hours/week) versus "inactive" (<8.75 MET-hours/week) in n = 579 stage I-IV colorectal cancer patients enrolled in the ColoCare Study. BMI [normal weight (>=18.5-<25 kg/m2), overweight (>=25-<30 kg/m2), and obese (>=30 kg/m2)] was abstracted from medical records. Patients were classified into four combinations of physical activity levels and BMI. Biomarkers [C-reactive protein (CRP), SAA, IL6, IL8, and TNFalpha] in presurgery serum samples were measured using the Mesoscale Discovery Platform. Regression models were used to compute relative percent differences in biomarker levels by physical activity and BMI groups. + + RESULTS: "Inactive" patients had non-statistically significant higher IL6 levels compared with "active" patients (+36%, P = 0.10). "Obese" patients had 88% and 17% higher CRP and TNFalpha levels compared with "normal weight" patients (P = 0.03 and 0.02, respectively). Highest CRP levels were observed among "overweight or obese/inactive" compared with "normal weight/active" patients (P = 0.03). + + CONCLUSIONS: We provide evidence of associations between individual and combined physical activity and BMI groups with proinflammatory biomarkers. Although BMI was identified as the key driver of inflammation, biomarker levels were higher among "inactive" patients across BMI groups. + + IMPACT: This is the largest study in colorectal cancer patients investigating associations of energy balance components with inflammatory biomarkers. Our results suggest that physical activity may reduce obesity-induced inflammation in colorectal cancer patients and support the design of randomized controlled trials testing this hypothesis.

A serum ferritin measurement was performed for all patients. They were further classified either into a non-severe or a severe group based on their hospitalization in intense care unit (ICU) for mechanical ventilation or death. + + Results: Univariate analysis revealed a significant association between increased serum ferritin and CRP levels, obesity, CT scan lesions, pathological respiratory rate, decreased PaO2/FiO2 ratio, the NEWS-2 score and the severe (n = 59) vs the non-severe (n = 112) outcome of Covid-19 patients. However, in a multivariate analysis, only CRP and obesity were associated with the severe form of Covid-19. + + Conclusion: While pathological level of serum ferritin at admission is associated with severe form of Covid-19, combination of increased CRP level and obesity would better predict the severity of the disease. +Other Abstract + Publisher + Pour une meilleure prise en charge, il est necessaire de pouvoir identifier precocement les patients atteints de la Covid-19 susceptibles de developper une forme severe. L'objectif de notre etude etait de determiner si des marqueurs biologiques, notamment la ferritinemie, peuvent predire la severite de la Covid-19. Nous avons inclus de maniere retrospective 171 patients au CHU de Caen avec un diagnostic de Covid-19. Les patients devaient avoir un bilan biologique incluant la ferritinemie a l'admission et ont ete classes en formes severes (n = 59, hospitalisation et ventilation invasive en soins intensifs ou en reanimation, et/ou deces) et non-severes (n = 112, tous les autres patients). L'analyse univariee a montre une association entre les formes severes de Covid-19 avec les niveaux eleves de ferritine et de CRP, l'obesite, les lesions pulmonaires, la frequence respiratoire elevee, la diminution du ratio PaO2/FiO2 et le score de NEWS-2. Cependant, en analyse multivariee seules la CRP et l'obesite montraient une association avec les formes severes. En conclusion, alors que la ferritinemie elevee est associee a un risque accru de developper une forme severe de la Covid-19, la CRP et la presence d'une obesite seraient de meilleurs marqueurs predictifs. + Language: French +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-73-2 (Ferritins). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.1684%2fabc.2022.1725 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Perottet&issn=0003-3898&title=Annales+de+Biologie+Clinique&atitle=La+ferritine+comme+biomarqueur+predictif+des+formes+severes+de+Covid-19&volume=80&issue=4&spage=363&epage=368&date=2022&doi=10.1684%2Fabc.2022.1725&pmid=36099346&sid=OVID:medline + +<419> +Unique Identifier + 36092166 +Title + Effects of Antioxidant Supplementation on Metabolic Disorders in Obese Patients from Randomized Clinical Controls: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review. +Source + Oxidative medicine & cellular longevity. 2022:7255413, 2022. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Wang J; Liao B; Wang C; Zhong O; Lei X; Yang Y +Author NameID + Lei, Xiaocan; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7666-5082 + Yang, Yuli; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6275-7151 +Authors Full Name + Wang, Jinyuan; Liao, Biyun; Wang, Changsheng; Zhong, Ou; Lei, Xiaocan; Yang, Yuli. +Institution + Wang, Jinyuan.

Meta-analysis and publication bias were performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Stata16 software was used to detect publication bias with Egger's and Begg's methods being mainly used. The data of basic indicators of obesity, lipid metabolism index, oxidative stress index, inflammatory biomarkers, and liver function index were collected to analyze the beneficial effects of antioxidant supplementation in obese patients. + + Results: A total of 30 studies were included in this study with a sample of 845 obese patients from the antioxidant supplementation group and 766 obese patients from the placebo control group. The meta-analysis showed that obese patients with antioxidant supplementation had lower BMI (mean difference (MD): - 0.44 [95%confidence interval (CI): - 0.84, -0.04], p = 0.03), waist circumference (MD : -0.78 [95%CI:-1.45, -0.11], p = 0.02), fasting blood glucose (FBG) level (standardized mean difference (SMD): - 4.92 [95%CI:-6.87, -2.98], p < 0.001) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (MD : -0.45 [95%CI:-0.61, -0.3], p < 0.001) when compared to the placebo group. Obese patients on antioxidant supplementation had lower levels of total cholesterol (SMD : -0.43 [95%CI:-0.84, -0.02], p = 0.04), triglycerides (SMD : -0.17 [95%CI:-0.31, -0.04], p = 0.01), low-density lipoprotein (SMD : -0.15 [95%CI:-0.29, -0.01], p = 0.03), malondialdehyde (SMD : -1.67 [95%CI:-2.69, -0.65], p = 0.001), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (SMD : -0.29 [95%CI:-0.56, -0.02], p = 0.03), respectively, when compared to the placebo group. In addition, obese patients with antioxidant supplementation had higher levels of high-density lipoprotein (SMD : 0.25 [95%CI : 0.03, 0.46], p = 0.03) and superoxide dismutase (SMD : 1.09 [95%CI : 0.52, 1.65], p < 0.001) when compared to the placebo group. Antioxidant supplementation had no effects on other analyzed parameters including waist-hip ratio, leptin, fat mass, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, alanine transaminase, and aspartate transaminase in obese patients. + + Conclusion: The meta-analysis results indicated that antioxidant supplementation exerted potential beneficial effects in obese patients by regulating FBG, oxidative stress, and inflammation, whilst more high-quality studies are required to confirm these effects. The present study may provide important insights for the treatment of clinical obesity and obesity-associated complications.

Fasting blood samples were collected to assess the biochemical markers. Also, blood pressure, weight, and waist circumference (WC) were measured at the beginning and end of the trial. + + RESULTS: The participants in both groups experienced significant reductions in the fasting plasma glucose (FPG), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), triglyceride (TG) concentrations, weight and WC. However the reduction in FPG and SBP was higher in the plant-based DASH group, compared to the animal-based DASH group, after adjustment for weight change. No significant changes were found within or between groups with regard to total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C. + + CONCLUSIONS: Substituting plant proteins with animal proteins in the DASH diet improves FPG and SBP in obese individuals with metabolic syndrome, independent of weight change.

To investigate if the magnitude of these adverse night shift work effects differs between sexes and weight groups, 47 men and women with either normal weight or obesity participated in one night of sleep and one night of total sleep loss. During the night of sleep loss, participants' subjective sleepiness, vigilance performance, and ability to stay awake during 2-min quiet wake with eyes closed were repeatedly assessed. In addition, blood was collected in the morning after sleep loss and sleep to measure central nervous system (CNS) health biomarkers. Our analysis showed that women were sleepier during the night of sleep loss (P < 0.05) and spent more time in microsleep during quiet wake testing (P < 0.05). Finally, higher blood levels of neurofilament light chain, a biomarker of axonal damage, were found among women in the morning after sleep loss (P < 0.002). Compared with normal-weight subjects, those with obesity were more prone to fall asleep during quiet wake (P < 0.05) and exhibited higher blood levels of the CNS health biomarker pTau181 following sleep loss (P = 0.001). Finally, no differences in vigilance performance were noted between the sex and weight groups. Our findings suggest that the ability to stay awake during and the CNS health biomarker response to night shift work may differ between sexes and weight groups. Follow-up studies must confirm our findings under more long-term night shift work conditions. Copyright © 2022.

Obesity indices (waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR)) and platelet traits (plateletcrit (PCT), platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR), mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW)) were collected by physical examination. The aging biomarkers were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Generalized linear regression models and mediation analysis were applied to explore the relationships between platelet traits, obesity indices, and aging biomarkers. + + RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 56 years (range: 18-79). Each one-unit increment in WC, WHR and WHtR were related to a 0.316 (95% confidence interval (CI): -0.437, -0.196), 0.323 (95% CI: -0.513, -0.134) and 0.277 (95% CI: -0.400, -0.153) decrease in relative TL; or a 0.102 (95% CI: -0.197, -0.007), 0.109 (95% CI: -0.258, -0.041) and 0.101 (95% CI: -0.199, -0.004) decrease in relative mtDNA-CN. The proportions of obesity indices with aging biomarkers mediated by platelet indices ranged from 2.85% to 10.10%. + + CONCLUSIONS: Increased central obesity indices in relation to shortened relative TL or decreased mtDNA-CN were mediated by platelet traits, indicating that obesity in association with the accelerated aging process may be partially attributable to abnormal platelet activity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (DNA, Mitochondrial). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fnu14173597 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Chen&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Mediation+Effect+of+Platelet+Traits+on+Associations+of+Central+Obesity+with+Aging+Biomarkers+in+Rural+Adults+of+Henan%2C+China.&volume=14&issue=17&spage=&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fnu14173597&pmid=36079858&sid=OVID:medline + +<423> +Unique Identifier + 36079796 +Title + Inflammatory Markers in Non-Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Are Not Elevated and Show No Correlation with Vitamin D Metabolites. +Source + Nutrients. 14(17), 2022 Aug 27. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Moin ASM; Sathyapalan T; Atkin SL; Butler AE +Author NameID + Sathyapalan, Thozhukat; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3544-2231 + Butler, Alexandra E; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5762-3917 +Authors Full Name + Moin, Abu Saleh Md; Sathyapalan, Thozhukat; Atkin, Stephen L; Butler, Alexandra E. +Institution + Moin, Abu Saleh Md.

Therefore, circulating inflammatory protein levels and circulating levels of vitamin D may be linked in PCOS, though it is unclear which vitamin D metabolites may be important. + + METHODS: We measured plasma levels of 24 inflammatory proteins and 12 matrix metalloproteinases (proteins modulated by the inflammatory process) by slow off-rate modified aptamer (SOMA)-scan plasma protein measurement in weight and aged-matched non-obese non-insulin resistant PCOS (n = 24) and control (n = 24) women. Inflammatory proteins and matrix metalloproteinases were correlated to 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 (25(OH)D3), its epimer 25-hydroxy-3epi-vitamin D (3epi25(OH)D) and the active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) as measured by gold standard isotope-dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. + + RESULTS: PCOS women had both an elevated free androgen index and circulating anti-mullerian hormone, though insulin resistance was comparable to controls. C-reactive protein, as a standard circulatory marker of inflammation, was comparable between cohorts. Levels of circulating inflammatory proteins and matrix metalloproteinases were not different between the PCOS and control women, with no correlation of 25(OH)D3, 1,25(OH)2D3 or 3epi25(OH)D with any of the inflammatory proteins. + + CONCLUSION: In a non-obese PCOS population matched for age and insulin resistance, circulating inflammatory proteins and matrix metalloproteinases were not elevated and did not correlate with 25(OH)D3, its epimer 3epi25(OH)D or 1,25(OH)2D3 in either control or PCOS women, indicating that the inflammatory response is absent and the vitamin D-metabolite independent in non-obese women with PCOS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Vitamins). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fnu14173540 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Moin&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Inflammatory+Markers+in+Non-Obese+Women+with+Polycystic+Ovary+Syndrome+Are+Not+Elevated+and+Show+No+Correlation+with+Vitamin+D+Metabolites.&volume=14&issue=17&spage=&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fnu14173540&pmid=36079796&sid=OVID:medline + +<424> +Unique Identifier + 36079745 +Title + Association between Obesity, Overweight, Elevated Waist Circumference, and Insulin Resistance Markers among Brazilian Adolescent Students. +Source + Nutrients. 14(17), 2022 Aug 24. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Deusdara R; de Moura Souza A; Szklo M +Author NameID + Deusdara, Rodolfo; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1343-3265 +Authors Full Name + Deusdara, Rodolfo; de Moura Souza, Amanda; Szklo, Moyses. +Institution + Deusdara, Rodolfo.

We estimated the level of fasting insulin (fasting insulin equivalent, FIeq) that would replicate the strength of the associations of obesity, overweight, and waist circumference with two insulin resistance markers: triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein (TG/HDL) and triglyceride/glucose (TyG); (2) Methods: We studied approximately 38,000 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years, sampled from a multicenter Brazilian school-based survey, The Study of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Adolescents (Portuguese acronym, ERICA), conducted in 2013-2014. Fasting insulin equivalents for adiposity variables were calculated by dividing the beta coefficient of each adiposity measure by the fasting insulin beta coefficient from linear regression analysis according to age (12-14, 15-17 years old) and sex, and adjusted by smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, sedentary behavior, socioeconomic status, and Tanner stage; (3) Results: The FIeqs for obesity were greater than those for overweight and elevated waist circumference for both TG/HDL and TyG in early adolescence. The FIeqs for elevated WC were greater than those for obesity and overweight in adolescents aged 15 to 17 years; (4) Conclusions: Our study suggests that WC measurements might be useful to identify adolescents with insulin resistance, particularly in late adolescence. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Public school students (12-17 years old) with available biochemical examinations were selected. Adolescents answered a self-administered questionnaire, and contextual characteristics were obtained through interviews with principals. A multilevel mixed-effects generalized linear model was performed at the contextual and individual levels with each insulin resistance marker (fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and blood glucose levels). A total of 27,990 adolescents were evaluated (50.2% female). The prevalence of (1) altered insulin was 12.2% (95% CI; 11.1, 13.5), (2) high HOMA-IR was 24.7% (95% CI; 22.8, 26.7), and (3) high blood glucose was 4.6% (95% CI; 3.8, 5.4). School feeding was positively associated with an insulin resistance marker, decreasing by 0.135 units of HOMA-IR (95% CI; -0.19, -0.08), 0.469 muU/L of insulin levels (95% CI; -0.66, -0.28), and 0.634 mg/dL of blood glucose (95% CI; -0.87, -0.39). In turn, buying food increased blood glucose by 0.455 mg/dL (95% CI; 0.16, 0.75). School feeding was positively associated with insulin resistance variables, demonstrating the potential of planned meals in the school environment to serve as a health promoter for the adolescent population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, the association remains inconclusive among obese and nonobese individuals. + + METHODS: This prospective study was conducted in 5751 adults with normal carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) at baseline. We divided the population into four groups based on the TyG index, which was calculated by the following formula: Ln (fasting triglycerides [mg/dL] x fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2). Information on CIMT was acquired by ultrasonography. Incident elevated CIMT was defined as IMT values greater than 0.9 mm at follow-up. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the associations between TyG index and elevated CIMT were estimated using multivariable logistic regression models. + + RESULTS: After a median follow-up of 4.3 years, 722 (12.6%) individuals had progressed to elevated CIMT. Compared with the second quartile of the TyG index, the first and fourth quartile both conferred higher risks of elevated CIMT after adjusting for potential confounders. In the total population, the ORs for the first and fourth quartile were 1.29 (95% CI, 1.00-1.66) and 1.42 (95% CI, 1.11-1.83), respectively. Restricted cubic splines demonstrated an approximately U-shaped association between TyG index and elevated CIMT among the total and nonobese adults (P for nonlinearity <.05), but not in those with general or abdominal obesity. + + CONCLUSIONS: A U-shaped association was observed between TyG index and elevated CIMT only among nonobese Chinese adults.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the effects of incorporating nuts into the diet on serum lipid profile, glycemic markers, and blood pressure in healthy adults with overweight/obesity. + + DATA SYNTHESIS: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched up to April 2021. The random-effects model was used to determine the pooled effect sizes expressed as weighted mean difference (WMD) with % 95 confidence intervals (CIs). Ten eligible RCTs (with 12 arms) were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that nut intake significantly decreased serum triglycerides (TG) (WMD: -13.19 mg/dL, 95% CI: - 25.90, - 0.48). Furthermore, subgroup analysis showed a significant reduction in serum LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) following adherence to normocaloric, nut-enriched diets (WMD: - 4.56 mg/dL, 95% CI: - 8.24, - 0.88). However, nuts did not affect serum total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycemic markers, and blood pressure. + + CONCLUSIONS: Overall, incorporating nuts into the diet of healthy adults with overweight/obesity have favorable effects on serum TG and LDL-C. Thus, nuts might exert protective effects against dyslipidemia in this population. + + REGISTRY NUMBER: PROPSPERO CRD42021250662.

Logistic regression models were performed to evaluate associations between incident MS and SUA levels/hyperuricemia, expressed by odds ratios(ORs) and confidence intervals(95 % CI). + + RESULTS: We found 1,646 incident MS cases after a median follow-up of 3.8[3.5-4.1] years. Incident MS was present among 8.3 % (n = 290) of participants with normal weight, 28.3 % (n = 850) with overweight, 39.8 % (n = 506) with obesity. Among incident MS participants of total sample, 33.0 % had hyperuricemia [SUA > 6.0 mg/dL (356.9 mumol/L)]. After all adjustments, SUA was independently prognostic of incident MS: for each 1 mg/dL increase in SUA the odds of incident MS were 45 % higher (OR1.45[CI95 %1.34-1.55 p <.01]). Associations were found for those presenting normal weight, overweight and obesity (OR1.43[CI95 %1.31-1.57 p <.01; OR1.22[CI95 %1.13-1.32 p <.01]; and OR1.16[CI95 %1.04-1.29 p <.05]) respectively. Hyperuricemia was independently associated with incident MS (OR1.88[CI95 %1.49-0.2.36 p <.01]). The SUA cut point level maximizing sensitivity and specificity in the discrimination of incident MS was 5.0 mg/dL. + + CONCLUSIONS: SUA level is an independent predictive biomarker of incident MS at all BMI categories.

We examined senescence in human adipose tissue cells from age- and BMI-matched individuals who were lean, obese, and obese with T2D. In obese individuals and, more pronounced, those with T2D, we found mature and fully differentiated adipose cells to exhibit increased senescence similar to what we previously have shown in the progenitor cells. The degree of adipose cell senescence was positively correlated with whole-body insulin resistance and adipose cell size. Adipose cell protein analysis revealed dysfunctional cells in T2D with increased senescence markers reduced PPAR-gamma, GLUT4, and pS473AKT. Consistent with a recent study, we found the cell cycle regulator cyclin D1 to be increased in obese cells and further elevated in T2D cells, closely correlating with senescence markers, ambient donor glucose, and, more inconsistently, plasma insulin levels. Furthermore, fully differentiated adipose cells were susceptible to experimentally induced senescence and to conditioned medium increasing cyclin D1 and responsive to senolytic agents. Thus, fully mature human adipose cells from obese individuals, particularly those with T2D become senescent, and SASP secretion by senescent progenitor cells can play an important role in addition to donor hyperinsulinemia.

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between intrauterine growth trajectories determined by serial ultrasound and subsequent markers of adiposity and inflammation in the 27-year-old adult offspring from the Raine Study, an Australian longitudinal pregnancy cohort. + + METHODS: Ultrasound fetal biometric measurements including abdominal circumference (AC), femur length (FL), and head circumference (HC) from 1333 mother-fetal pairs (Gen1-Gen2) in the Raine Study were used to develop fetal growth trajectories using group-based trajectory modeling. Linear mixed modeling investigated the relationship between adult body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) of Gen2 at 20 (n = 485), 22 (n = 421) and 27 (n = 437) years and the fetal growth trajectory groups, adjusting for age, sex, adult lifestyle factors, and maternal factors during pregnancy. + + RESULTS: Seven AC, five FL and five HC growth trajectory groups were identified. Compared to the average-stable (reference) group, a lower adult BMI was observed in two falling AC trajectories: (beta = -1.45 kg/m2, 95% CI: -2.43 to -0.46, P = 0.004) and (beta = -1.01 kg/m2, 95% CI: -1.96 to -0.05, P = 0.038). Conversely, higher adult BMI (2.58 kg/m2, 95% CI: 0.98 to 4.18, P = 0.002) and hs-CRP (37%, 95% CI: 9-73%, P = 0.008) were observed in a rising FL trajectory compared to the reference group. A high-stable HC trajectory associated with 20% lower adult hs-CRP (95% CI: 5-33%, P = 0.011). + + CONCLUSION: This study highlights the importance of understanding causes of the unique patterns of intrauterine growth. Different fetal growth trajectories from early pregnancy associate with subsequent adult adiposity and inflammation, which predispose to the risk of diabetes and cardiometabolic disease.

Dysregulation of host microbiota can contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Anecdotal evidence noted improved overall well-being in individuals sleeping on copper-containing fabric bedding. We hypothesized that the beneficial effect of copper-infused fabric bedding on cardiometabolic health is linked to changes in gut microbiota composition. This study utilized a mouse model of diet-induced obesity to assess the beneficial effects of copper-infused fabric bedding on metabolic health. Body composition, inflammatory markers, metabolic and cardiovascular status and changes in the faecal microbiota composition were evaluated for up to 2 months in mice fed with a normal chow diet or high fat high cholesterol diet in the presence of bedding made with and without copper-infused fabric. Results showed that mice subjected to diet-induced obesity and housed in cages with copper-infused fabric liner displayed less body weight gain than mice in cages with control fabric. Mice housed with copper-infused fabric also displayed improved glucose tolerance and reduced inflammation biomarker lipocalin-2. We also observed a beneficial shift in gut bacterial composition of obese mice housed with copper fabric bedding. Taken in conjunction, our study provides direct animal-based evidence supporting the beneficial effects of copper fabric on metabolic health.

MSNA and plasma NE values detected in the three obese groups were almost superimposable each other, no significant difference between groups being observed. A similar behavior was observed when HR values were assessed during the 24-h Holter monitoring. In the group as a whole no significant relationship was detected between MSNA, plasma NE and clinic HR, this being the case also when 24-h HR replaced clinic HR in the correlation analysis. In contrast lean controls displayed a progressive significant increase in MSNA values form the group with clinic (and 24 Holter) values below 70 beats/minute to the ones with HR values between 70 and 79 and above 80 beats/minute. + + CONCLUSIONS: In the obese state measurement of resting HR may allow to provide some general information on the functional status of the adrenergic cardiovascular drive. When the information required, however, are more subtle the sensitivity of the approach appears to be reduced and HR cannot be regarded as a faithful sympathetic biomarker.

In analyses corrected for multiple testing, we studied 182 plasma proteins known to be related to cardiovascular disease to investigate whether they could add to the understanding of the processes underlying obesity-related HF. + + RESULTS: A total of 821 subjects were followed for 16 +/- 6 years. Multivariable analysis adjusted for matching variables revealed that 32 proteins were significantly associated with HF. Twelve proteins were related to HF >= 80% of the time using a bootstrap resampling approach (false-discovery-rate [FDR] < 0.05): 11 were associated with increased HF-risk: TNFRSF10A*, ST6GAL1, PRCP, MMP12, TIMP1, CCL3, QPCT, ANG, C1QTNF1, SERPINA5 and GAL-9; and one was related to reduced HF-risk: LPL. An further 20 proteins were associated with onset of HF 50-80% of the time using bootstrap resampling (FDR < 0.05). A pathway analysis including all significant 32 proteins suggested that these biomarkers were related to inflammation, matrix remodeling, cardiometabolic hormones and hemostasis. Three proteins, C1QTNF1, FGF-21 and CST3, reflecting dyslipidemia and kidney disease, displayed a higher association with HF in patients who did not undergo weight-loss-surgery and maintained with obesity. + + CONCLUSION: Pathways associated with HF in obesity include inflammation, matrix remodeling, cardiometabolic hormones and hemostasis; three protein biomarkers predicting HF appeared to be obesity-specific.

Recently, an association between PCOS and an increased risk of developing metabolic disturbances, such as insulin resistance, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as obesity has been emphasised. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), including valine (Val), leucine (Leu) and isoleucine (Ile), are a group of essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized in human body and need to be obtained from food. Several recent studies provide evidence that plasma BCAAs also serve as crucial nutrient signals and metabolic regulators. Interestingly, latest metabolomics analysis shows abnormalities in amino acid catabolism and biosynthesis in patients with PCOS, particularly in BCAAs. A growing body of evidence proves that elevated levels of BCAAs may have adverse effects on metabolic health leading to the development of insulin resistance, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity both in human and animal models. The aim of this review is to assess the current state of knowledge about the potential role of BCAAs as a novel biomarker of metabolic disturbances in women with polycystic ovary syndrome based on recent scientific literature published up to July 2021 and searches of the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids, Branched-Chain). 04Y7590D77 (Isoleucine).

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known regulators of metabolic homeostasis. We aimed to assess the relationship of circulating miRNAs with clinical features in obese Qatari individuals. + + Methods: We analyzed a dataset of 39 age-matched patients that includes 18 subjects with obesity only (OBO) and 21 subjects with obesity and metabolic syndrome (OBM). We measured 754 well-characterized human microRNAs (miRNAs) and identified differentially expressed miRNAs along with their significant associations with clinical markers in these patients. + + Results: A total of 64 miRNAs were differentially expressed between metabolically healthy obese (OBO) versus metabolically unhealthy obese (OBM) patients. Thirteen out of 64 miRNAs significantly correlated with at least one clinical trait of the metabolic syndrome. Six out of the thirteen demonstrated significant association with HbA1c levels; miR-331-3p, miR-452-3p, and miR-485-5p were over-expressed, whereas miR-153-3p, miR-182-5p, and miR-433-3p were under-expressed in the OBM patients with elevated HbA1c levels. We also identified, miR-106b-3p, miR-652-3p, and miR-93-5p that showed a significant association with creatinine; miR-130b-5p, miR-363-3p, and miR-636 were significantly associated with cholesterol, whereas miR-130a-3p was significantly associated with LDL. Additionally, miR-652-3p's differential expression correlated significantly with HDL and creatinine. + + Conclusions: MicroRNAs associated with metabolic syndrome in obese subjects may have a pathophysiologic role and can serve as markers for obese individuals predisposed to various metabolic diseases like diabetes.

Increased adiposity by itself induces various isomers of this oxidized lipid family, while dietary polyphenols show benefits in its regulation. Previously, we showed that specific co-abundant microorganisms characterized the gut microbiota of Colombians and associated differentially with diet, lifestyle, obesity, and cardiometabolic health status, which led us to hypothesize that urinary oxylipins would reflect the intensity of oxidative metabolism linked to gut microbiota dysbiosis. Thus, we selected a convenience sample of 105 participants (age: 40.2 +/- 11.9 years, 47.6% women), grouped according to microbiota, cardiometabolic health status, and body mass index (BMI); and evaluated 33 urinary oxylipins by HPLC-QqQ-MS/MS (e.g., isoprostanes, prostaglandins, and metabolites), paired with anthropometry and blood chemistry information and dietary antioxidants estimated from a 24-h food recall. In general, oxylipins did not show differences among individuals who differed in gut microbiota. While the unmetabolized oxylipin levels were not associated with BMI, the total content of oxylipin metabolites was highest in obese and cardiometabolically abnormal subjects (e.g., insulin resistant), mainly by prostaglandin-D (2,3-dinor-11beta-PGF2alpha) and 15-F2t-IsoPs (2,3-dinor-15-F2t-IsoP and 2,3-dinor-15-epi-15-F2t-IsoP) metabolites. The total polyphenol intake in this cohort was 1070 +/- 627 mg/day. After adjusting for body weight, the polyphenol intake was significantly higher in lean than overweight and showed an inverse association with dinor-oxylipin levels in principal component analysis. These results suggest that the 2,3-dinor-oxylipins could be more specific biomarkers associated with BMI than their parent oxylipins and that are sensitive to be regulated by dietary antioxidants.

Multivariable linear regression analysis was done to assess the association of C-sections with CVD risk biomarkers. + + RESULTS: Of 1,874 study children, 30% had C-sections; the mean age (SD) was 11.50 (0.50) years, and 49% were female. Against the vaginally-born cohort, Caesarean-born children showed a higher Z- score for five of the seven CVD risk indicators in regression analysis; WC (0.15; p=0.003), SBP (0.16; p=0.003), inverse HDL (0.15; p=0.003), FMI (0.12; p=0.004), and CMetS (0.45; p=0.004) score. Children with accelerated BMI trajectory had higher CMetS scores for both the delivery types while the C-section cohort showed statistical association only (1.69; p=0.006) Conclusion: C-section was independently associated with increased CVD risk profiles of children, further increased with high BMI trajectory. Implication for public health: The chronic disease risk of C-sections should be discussed with families to reduce clinically unrequired C-sections.

Animal studies support the role of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the regulation of obesity-related eating behaviors and offer a potential target to combat obesity through the modulation of inflammation. However, more complex eating behaviors are present in humans, and their relationships with immune/inflammation markers are unclear. The present study reviewed current literature to synthesize the evidence on the association of immune/inflammation markers with obesity-related eating behaviors in humans. + + Methods: A systematic search of three electronic databases yielded 811 articles, of which 11 met the inclusion criteria. + + Results: The majority of the included studies (91%) were either case-control or cross-sectional studies. A variety of immune/inflammation markers and obesity-related eating behaviors have been assessed in the chosen studies. Three out of four studies identified a positive relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP)/high-sensitivity CRP and loss of control eating. Other inflammatory markers that potentially have a positive relationship with obesity-related eating behaviors include fractalkine and fibrinogen. Additionally, immune molecules, including interferon gamma (INF-gamma), interleukin (IL)-7, IL-10, and alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-reactive immunoglobulin G (alpha-MSH/IgG) immune complex, may have negative associations with obesity-related eating behaviors. However, most findings were identified by single studies. + + Conclusion: Limited studies have been conducted in humans. Current evidence indicates a potential bi-directional relationship between inflammatory/immune markers and obesity-related eating behaviors. Additional studies with sophisticated research design and comprehensive theoretical models are warranted to further delineate the relationship between immune/inflammation markers and obesity-related eating behaviors.

The aim of this study was to determine whether complement factors in the maternal serum and follicular fluid (FF) are associated with in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in overweight/obese women. + + Methods: Forty overweight/obese (BMI = 30.8 +/- 5.2 kg/m2) female patients, 33.6 +/- 6.3 years old, undergoing IVF treatment for unexplained infertility were recruited. Baseline demographic information, including biochemical hormonal, metabolic, and inflammatory markers, and pregnancy outcome, was collected. Levels of 14 complement markers (C2, C4b, C5, C5a, C9, adipsin, mannose-binding lectin, C1q, C3, C3b/iC3b, C4, factor B, factor H, and properdin) were assessed in the serum and FF and compared to IVF outcome, inflammatory, and metabolic markers using multivariate and univariate models. + + Results: Out of 40 IVF cycles, 14 (35%) resulted in pregnancy. Compared to women with failed pregnancies, women with successful pregnancies had higher levels of adipsin in the serum and FF (p = 0.01) but lower C5a levels (p = 0.05). Serum adipsin levels were positively correlated with circulating levels of vitamin D (R = 0.5, p = 0.02), glucagon (R = 0.4, p = 0.03), leptin (R = 0.4, p = 0.01), resistin (R = 0.4, p = 0.02), and visfatin (R = 0.4, p = 0.02), but negatively correlated with total protein (R = -0.5, p = 0.03). Higher numbers of top-quality embryos were associated with increased levels of C3, properdin, C1q, factors H and B, C4, and adipsin, but with reduced C2 and C5a levels (p <= 0.01). + + Conclusions: Higher adipsin and lower C5a levels in the maternal serum during implantation are potential markers of successful outcome in obese women undergoing IVF-assisted pregnancies.

This study evaluated the relationship between PAI and obesity in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and its advantage over conventional lipid components in predicting obesity. + + METHODS: The cross-sectional study included 164 FMF patients in the attack-free period and a control group of 160 healthy individuals. Serum lipid components were measured, including triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). PAI was calculated as log 10 (TG/HDL-C). The relationship between PAI, four conventional lipid profiles, and obesity was evaluated. + + RESULTS: The mean PAI values (p = 0.003), frequency of obesity (p = 0.005), TC (p = 0.008), TG (p = 0.000), and LDL-C (p = 0.005) values were determined to be statistically significantly higher in the FMF patients than in the control group. The FMF patients with a higher PAI value had a higher risk of obesity, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, TC, and LDL-C, and lower HDL-C (p < 0.001). The Pearson coefficient for PAI (r = 0.854; p < 0.001) was calculated as an explanatory percentage on the variable of obesity of r2 = 0.730. There was a stronger relationship between obesity and PAI than conventional lipid components (p < 0.001). + + CONCLUSION: We have found that the PAI, BMI, TC, TG, and LDL-C values of the FMF patients were determined to be higher. The higher PAI was strongly correlated to obesity in FMF patients. The first time in FMF patients, PAI showed increased sensitivity to predict obesity, higher than conventional lipid components. It can be a promising biomarker for obesity compared to other lipid components. A low-cost and readily available index derived from routine (TG and HDL-C) tests are advantages in identifying obesity in FMF patients. Key Points * The PAI is valuable for atherosclerotic CVD risk management in patients with rheumatismal diseases. * A correlation is found between PAI level and obesity, and it is used as a biomarker for obesity in the healthy population. * The PAI revealed increased sensitivity to predict obesity, higher than conventional lipid components in FMF patients.

However, the role of the Hp phenotype in modulating intermittent fasting (IF)-induced cardiometabolic changes remains to be elucidated. + + METHODS: Hp phenotype was determined for the study subjects. Cardiometabolic markers were assessed before and at the end of four consecutive weeks, dawn to sunset IF. + + RESULTS: A total of 114 subjects (75 males and 39 females, 38.7 +/- 11.7 years, body mass index (BMI) of 30.41 +/- 5.09 kg/m2) were recruited. Hp2-2 (n = 55, 48.2 %) and Hp2-1 (n = 53, 46.5 %) were the predominant phenotypes. Significant reductions were observed in serum Hp, IL-6, TNF-alpha, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), LDL, BMI, and fat mass (FM), while a significant elevation was observed in serum CD163, HDL, and IL-10 at the end of the IF month for the whole population. Based on the Hp polymorphism, significant decreases in Hp, BMI, FM, TG, LDL, and TNF-alpha, with significant increases in HDL and CD163 levels were observed among subjects with Hp2-2 and Hp2-1 phenotypes. A more pronounced reduction in FM was reported in subjects with Hp2-2 in comparison with Hp2-1. + + CONCLUSION: Hp gene polymorphism modulates IF-induced changes in cardiometabolic markers. + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN18205186; https://trialsearch.who.int/?TrialID=ISRCTN18205186.

Lifestyle modifications that incorporate continuous energy restriction (CER) are effective at inducing weight loss and reductions in adiposity; however, prescribing daily CER results in poor long-term adherence. Over the past decade, intermittent fasting (IF) has emerged as a promising alternative to CER that may promote increased compliance and/or improvements in cardiometabolic health parameters independent of weight loss. (2) Methods: This paper presents a secondary analysis of data from a 12-week intervention investigating the effects of a twice-weekly fast (5:2 IF; IFT group) and CER (CERT group) when combined with resistance exercise in 34 healthy participants (17 males and 17 females, mean BMI: 27.0 kg/m2, mean age: 23.9 years). Specifically, changes in cardiometabolic blood markers and ratings of hunger, mood, energy and compliance within and between groups were analysed. Dietary prescriptions were hypoenergetic and matched for energy and protein intake. (3) Results: Both dietary groups experienced reductions in total cholesterol (TC; mean reduction, 7.8%; p < 0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; mean reduction, 11.1%; p < 0.001) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mean reduction 2.6%, p = 0.049) over the 12 weeks. Reductions in TC and LDL-C were greater in the IFT group after adjustment for baseline levels and change in weight. No significant changes in markers of glucose regulation were observed. Both groups maintained high levels of dietary compliance (~80%) and reported low levels of hunger over the course of the intervention period. (4) Conclusions: Secondary data analysis revealed that when combined with resistance training, both dietary patterns improved blood lipids, with greater reductions observed in the IFT group. High levels of compliance and low reported levels of hunger throughout the intervention period suggest both diets are well tolerated in the short-to-medium term. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We fitted linear mixed models with participant-level random intercept and restricted maximum likelihood estimation for conditional mean models; and quantile mixed-effect models with participant-level random intercept and Laplace estimation for 10th and 90th percentiles models. For each 100 mmol/24 h increase in urinary sodium excretion, participants had a 0.10 kg/m2 (95% CI: 0.00, 0.10) increase in the mean; a 0.39 kg/m2 (95% CI: 0.23, 0.54) increase in the 10th percentile; and a 0.59 kg/m2 (95% CI: 0.39, 0.78) increase in the 90th percentile of BMI. For each 100 mmol/24 h increase in urinary sodium excretion, participants had a 0.20 cm (95% CI: 0.10, 0.30) increase in mean; a 0.18 cm (95% CI: -0.03, 0.40) change in the 10th percentile; and a 0.23 cm (95% CI: 0.03, 0.43) increase in the 90th percentile of waist circumference. We found a modest association between urine sodium and conditional mean of BMI and waist circumference. The magnitude of associations between urine sodium and the 10th and 90th percentile BMI distributions were higher compared to the conditional mean models, suggesting high sodium intake could be more detrimental to underweight and obese participants. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9NEZ333N27 (Sodium). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fnu14143000 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Rahman&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Urinary+Sodium+Excretion+and+Obesity+Markers+among+Bangladeshi+Adult+Population%3A+Pooled+Data+from+Three+Cohort+Studies.&volume=14&issue=14&spage=&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fnu14143000&pmid=35889957&sid=OVID:medline + +<445> +Unique Identifier + 35889949 +Title + Gut Microbiota Characteristics of People with Obesity by Meta-Analysis of Existing Datasets. +Source + Nutrients. 14(14), 2022 Jul 21. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Gong J; Shen Y; Zhang H; Cao M; Guo M; He J; Zhang B; Xiao C +Author NameID + Gong, Jinhua; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8560-3182 +Authors Full Name + Gong, Jinhua; Shen, Yun; Zhang, Hongcheng; Cao, Man; Guo, Muyun; He, Jianquan; Zhang, Bangzhou; Xiao, Chuanxing. +Institution + Gong, Jinhua.

Association studies have linked microbiome alterations with obesity and overweight. However, the results are not always consistent. An integrated analysis of 4282 fecal samples (2236 control (normal weight) group, 1152 overweight, and 894 simple obesity) was performed to identify obesity-associated microbial markers. Based on a random effects model and a fixed effects model, we calculated the odds ratios of the metrics, including bacterial alpha-diversity, beta-diversity, Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratio, common genera, and common pathways, between the simple obesity and control groups as well as the overweight and control groups. The random forest model was trained based on a single dataset at the genus level. Feature selection based on feature importance ranked by mean decrease accuracy and leave-one-out cross-validation was conducted to improve the predictive performance of the models. Chao1 and evenness possessed significant ORs higher than 1.0 between the obesity and control groups. Significant bacterial community differences were observed between the simple obesity and the control. The ratio of Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes was significantly higher in simple obesity patients. The relative abundance of Lachnoclostridium and Faecalitalea were higher in people with simple obesity, while 23 genera, including Christensenellaceae_R-7_group, Akkermansia, Alistipes, and Butyricimonas, etc., were significantly lower. The random forest model achieved a high accuracy (AUC = 0.83). The adenine and adenosine salvage pathway (PWY-6609) and the L-histidine degradation I pathway (HISDEG-PWY) were clustered in obese patients, while amino acid biosynthesis and degradation pathways (HISDEG-PWY, DAPLYSINESYN-PWY) were decreased. This study identified obesity microbial biomarkers, providing fertile targets for the management of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Ribosomal, 16S). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of overweight/obesity on the pulmonary function of patients with new-onset pediatric asthma and explore the possible causative factors related to concomitant obesity and asthma. (2) Methods: Patients aged 5 to 17 years old with newly diagnosed mild to moderate asthma were recruited from June 2018 to May 2019, from a respiratory clinic in Shanghai, China. Participants were categorized into three groups: normal weight, overweight, and obese asthma. A family history of atopy and patients' personal allergic diseases were recorded. Pulmonary function, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), eosinophils, serum-specific immunoglobulins E (sIgE), serum total IgE (tIgE), and serum inflammatory biomarkers (adiponectin, leptin, Type 1 helper T, and Type 2 helper T cytokines) were tested in all participants. (3) Results: A total of 407 asthma patients (197 normal weight, 92 overweight, and 118 obese) were enrolled. There was a reduction in forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC%, and FEF25-75% in the overweight/obese groups. No difference was found between the study groups in the main allergy characteristics. Leptin levels were higher while adiponectin was lower in asthmatics with obesity. Higher levels of IL-16 were found in overweight/obese asthmatic individuals than in normal-weight individuals. (4) Conclusions: Obesity may have an effect on impaired pulmonary function. While atopic inflammation plays an important role in the onset of asthma, nonatopic inflammation (including leptin and adiponectin) increases the severity of asthma in overweight/obese patients. The significance of different levels of IL-16 between groups needs to be further studied. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-16). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

In recent years, different imaging techniques frequently used in daily clinical practice have tried to obtain an EAT quantification. We provide a useful update on comorbidities related to chronic inflammation typical of cardiac adiposity, analyzing how the EAT assessment could impact and provide data on the patient prognosis. We assessed for eligibility 50 papers, with a total of 10,458 patients focusing the review on the evaluation of EAT in two main contexts: cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Given its peculiar properties and rapid responsiveness, EAT could act as a marker to investigate the basal risk factor and follow-up conditions. In the future, EAT could represent a therapeutic target for new medications. The assessment of EAT should become part of clinical practice to help clinicians to identify patients at greater risk of developing cardiovascular and/or metabolic diseases and to provide information on their clinical and therapeutic outcomes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Obesity is a syndrome of multifactorial etiology characterized by an excessive accumulation and release of fatty acids (FA) in adipose and non-adipose tissue. An excess of FA generates a metabolic condition known as lipotoxicity, which triggers pathological cellular and molecular responses, causing dysregulation of homeostasis and a decrease in cell viability. This condition is a hallmark of NDs, and astrocytes are particularly sensitive to it, given their crucial role in energy production and oxidative stress management in the brain. However, analyzing cellular mechanisms associated with these conditions represents a challenge. In this regard, metabolomics is an approach that allows biochemical analysis from the comprehensive perspective of cell physiology. This technique allows cellular metabolic profiles to be determined in different biological contexts, such as those of NDs and specific metabolic insults, including lipotoxicity. Since data provided by metabolomics can be complex and difficult to interpret, alternative data analysis techniques such as machine learning (ML) have grown exponentially in areas related to omics data. Here, we developed an ML model yielding a 93% area under the receiving operating characteristic (ROC) curve, with sensibility and specificity values of 80% and 93%, respectively. This study aimed to analyze the metabolomic profiles of human astrocytes under lipotoxic conditions to provide powerful insights, such as potential biomarkers for scenarios of lipotoxicity induced by palmitic acid (PA). In this work, we propose that dysregulation in seleno-amino acid metabolism, urea cycle, and glutamate metabolism pathways are major triggers in astrocyte lipotoxic scenarios, while increased metabolites such as alanine, adenosine, and glutamate are suggested as potential biomarkers, which, to our knowledge, have not been identified in human astrocytes and are proposed as candidates for further research and validation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 3KX376GY7L (Glutamic Acid). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between Dietary Phytochemical Index (DPI) and resting metabolic rate (RMR), mediated by inflammatory factors, in overweight and obese women. + + METHODS: A total of 404 women, aged 18-48 years, were included in the cross-sectional study. DPI was calculated using the 147-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Anthropometric measurements, RMR, and blood biomarkers were assessed using standard protocols. + + RESULTS: There was marginally significant association between adherence to DPI and RMR status in the crude model (OR = 1.41, 95% CI 0.94-2.11, P = 0.09). After adjusting for potential confounders, a significant association was seen between the DPI and increase RMR.per.kg (OR = 2.77, 95% CI 0.98-7.82, P = 0.05). Our results indicated that plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), transforming growth factor (TGF-beta), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) had a mediatory effect on the association between RMR and DPI (P > 0.05). Indeed, it was shown that, PAI-1, TGF-beta, and MCP-1 destroyed the significance of this association and could be considered as mediating markers. However, no mediating effect was observed for high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP). + + CONCLUSIONS: Adherence to DPI can improve the RMR by reducing levels of inflammatory markers, and may be considered as a treatment for obesity. However, more long-term studies are recommended. Copyright © 2022.

However, most of these studies were performed in individuals presenting overweight or mild obesity. + + OBJECTIVE: To determine which adiposity index among BMI, WC, NC and fat mass (FM) can best predict metabolic alterations in men and women presenting severe obesity. + + METHODS: Anthropometric and plasma biochemical parameters were measured in 81 participants presenting severe obesity (19 men, 62 women; age: 44.5 +/- 8.9 years; BMI: 43.5 +/- 4.1 kg/m2). Multiple linear regressions were used to determine the best predictors of metabolic alterations among each adiposity index. + + RESULTS: NC was positively correlated with fasting insulin concentrations, C-peptide concentrations and HOMA-IR values and negatively correlated with HDL-C concentrations. NC was the best predictor of glucose homeostasis indices and HDL-C concentrations in models also including sex, BMI, WC, and FM. The ROC curve analysis indicated that a NC >= 37.8 cm best predicted type 2 diabetes. + + CONCLUSIONS: NC seems a better predictor of insulin resistance and lower HDL-C concentrations in patients presenting severe obesity compared to other standard anthropometric indices, and particularly in women. The small sample size in men prevent us to draw clear conclusions. NC could be useful in targeting patients with metabolic alterations who could benefit from medical or surgical treatment of obesity.

The aim of this study was to explore factors associated with the incidence of preclinical HF in a community population. Methods and Results Retrospective review of 393 healthy community individuals aged >=45 years from the Olmsted County Heart Function Study that returned for 2 visits, 4 years apart. At visit 2, individuals that remained normal were compared with those that developed preclinical HF. By the second visit, 191 (49%) developed preclinical HF (12.1 cases per 100 person-years of follow-up); 65 (34%) Stage A and 126 (66%) Stage B. Those that developed preclinical HF (n=191) were older (P=0.004), had a higher body mass index (P<0.001), and increased left ventricular mass index (P=0.006). When evaluated separately, increased body mass index was seen with development of Stage A (P<0.001) or Stage B (P=0.009). Echocardiographic markers of diastolic function were statistically different in those that developed Stage A [higher E/e' (P<0.001), lower e' (P<0.001)] and Stage B [higher left atrial volume index (P<0.001), higher E/e' (P<0.001), lower e' (P<0.001)]. NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) was higher at visit 2 in those that developed Stage A or B (P<0.001 for both). Hypertension (57%), obesity (34%), and hyperlipidemia (25%) were common in the development of Stage A. Of patients who developed Stage B, 71% (n=84) had moderate or severe diastolic dysfunction. Conclusions There is a high incidence of preclinical HF in a community population. Development of Stage A was driven by hypertension and obesity, while preclinical diastolic dysfunction was seen commonly in those that developed Stage B. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 114471-18-0 (Natriuretic Peptide, Brain). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, ranking diverse biomarkers from best to worse remains challenging. This study aimed to address this issue by introducing three new approaches: (1) a calculus-derived, normalized sensitivity score (NORSE) is used to compare the predictive power of diverse adiposity biomarkers; (2) multiple biomarkers are combined into multi-dimensional models, for increased sensitivity and risk discrimination; and (3) new visualizations are introduced that convey complex statistical trends in a compact and intuitive manner. Our approach was evaluated on 23 popular biomarkers and 6 common medical conditions using a large database (National Health and Nutrition Survey, NHANES, N ~ 100,000). Our analysis established novel findings: (1) regional composition biomarkers were more predictive of risk than global ones; (2) fat-derived biomarkers had stronger predictive power than weight-related ones; (3) waist and hip are always elements of the strongest risk predictors; (4) our new, multi-dimensional biomarker models yield higher sensitivity, personalization, and separation of the negative effects of fat from the positive effects of lean mass. Our approach provides a new way to evaluate adiposity biomarkers, brings forth new important clinical insights and sets a path for future biomarker research. Copyright © 2022.

More and more evidence suggests that lncRNAs play a role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis. When certain lncRNAs are out of balance, metabolic disorders like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease get worse. In this review, we talk about what we know about how lncRNAs control metabolism, with a focus on diseases caused by long-term inflammation and the characteristics of the metabolic syndrome. We looked at lncRNAs and their molecular targets in the pathogenesis of signaling pathways. We also talked about how lncRNAs are becoming more and more interesting as diagnostic and therapeutic targets for improving metabolic homeostasis. Copyright © 2022.

However, little is known about the association between obesity-related markers (hip circumference (HC), waist circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR), waist to height ratio (WHtR), body fat mass (BFM), skeletal muscle (SM), resting metabolism (RM), visceral fat (VF), and visceral adiposity index (VAI)) and sperm parameters. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 98 men in three groups: normal-weight (Nw; body mass index: BMI < 25 kg/m2 ), overweight (Ow; BMI: 25-29 kg/m2 ), and obese (Ob; BMI: 30-35 kg/m2 ) to investigate this issue. The mean WC, HC, WHtR, BFM, SM, RM, and VF were remarkably higher (p < 0.001) for subjects in the Ob group than in Ow and Nw. In Nw, positive correlations were observed between BFM (r = 0.402) and VAI (r = 0.353) and sperm progressive motility (p < 0.05). In Ob males, there was a positive correlation (r = 0.430) between sperm progressive motility and height and a negative relation (r = -0.447) between sperm progressive motility and WHtR. We found the association between serum testosterone (T) levels, T/estradiol ratios, and semen parameters being dependent on obesity-related markers which confirms the negative effects of obesity on male hormones. In conclusion, WHtR is a valuable parameter in infertility clinics that warrants further studies.

We hypothesized that adjusting the concentration of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for obesity could further increase its clinical utility in the early diagnosis of acute heart failure (AHF). + + METHODS AND RESULTS: This hypothesis was tested in a prospective diagnostic study enrolling unselected patients presenting to the emergency department with acute dyspnoea. Two independent cardiologists/internists centrally adjudicated the final diagnosis using all individual patient information including cardiac imaging. NT-proBNP plasma concentrations were applied: first, using currently recommended cut-offs; second, using cut-offs lowered by 33% with body mass index (BMI) of 30-34.9 kg/m2 and by 50% with BMI >= 35 kg/m2 . Among 2038 patients, 509 (25%) were obese, of which 271 (53%) had AHF. The diagnostic accuracy of NT-proBNP as quantified by the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was lower in obese versus non-obese patients (0.890 vs. 0.938). For rapid AHF rule-out in obese patients, the currently recommended cut-off of 300 pg/ml achieved a sensitivity of 96.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] 93.8-98.2%), ruling out 29% of patients and missing 9 AHF patients. For rapid AHF rule-in, the age-dependent cut-off concentrations (age <50 years: 450 pg/ml; age 50-75 years: 900 pg/ml; age >75 years: 1800 pg/ml) achieved a specificity of 84.9% (95% CI 79.8-88.9%). Proportionally lowering the currently recommended cut-offs by BMI increased sensitivity to 98.2% (95% CI 95.8-99.2%), missing 5 AHF patients; reduced the proportion of AHF patients remaining in the 'gray zone' (48% vs. 26%; p = 0.002), achieving a specificity of 76.5% (95% CI 70.7-81.4%). + + CONCLUSIONS: Adjusting NT-proBNP concentrations for obesity seems to further increase its clinical utility in the early diagnosis of AHF.

A state of low-grade chronic inflammation in obesity has been suggested as one of the underlying mechanisms. We investigated whether obesity is associated with differences in new inflammatory biomarkers mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), C-terminal proendothelin-1 (CT-proET-1), and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. + + SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 105 critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia were divided in patients with obesity (body mass index (BMI) >= 30 kg/m2, n = 42) and patients without obesity (BMI < 30 kg/m2, n = 63) and studied in a retrospective observational cohort study. MR-proADM, CT-proET-1 concentrations, and conventional markers of white blood count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) were collected during the first 7 days. + + RESULTS: BMI was 33.5 (32-36.1) and 26.2 (24.7-27.8) kg/m2 in the group with and without obesity. There were no significant differences in concentrations MR-proADM, CT-proET-1, WBC, CRP, and PCT at baseline and the next 6 days between patients with and without obesity. Only MR-proADM changed significantly over time (p = 0.039). Also, BMI did not correlate with inflammatory biomarkers (MR-proADM rho = 0.150, p = 0.125, CT-proET-1 rho = 0.179, p = 0.067, WBC rho = -0.044, p = 0.654, CRP rho = 0.057, p = 0.564, PCT rho = 0.022, p = 0.842). Finally, no significant differences in time on a ventilator, ICU length of stay, and 28-day mortality between patients with or without obesity were observed. + + CONCLUSIONS: In critically ill patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, obesity was not associated with differences in MR-proADM, and CT-proET-1, or impaired outcome. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: Netherlands Trial Register, NL8460.

In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of the PREVENTOMCIS platform-which uses metabolomic and genetic information to classify individuals into different 'metabolic clusters' and create personalized dietary plans-for improving health outcomes in subjects with overweight or obesity. + + METHODS: A 10-week parallel, double-blinded, randomized intervention was conducted in 100 adults (82 completers) aged 18-65 years, with body mass index >=27 but <40 kg/m2, who were allocated into either a personalized diet group (n = 49) or a control diet group (n = 51). About 60% of all food was provided free-of-charge. No specific instruction to restrict energy intake was given. The primary outcome was change in fat mass from baseline, evaluated by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Other endpoints included body weight, waist circumference, lipid profile, glucose homeostasis markers, inflammatory markers, blood pressure, physical activity, stress and eating behavior. + + RESULTS: There were significant main effects of time (P < 0.01), but no group main effects, or time-by-group interactions, for the change in fat mass (personalized: -2.1 [95% CI -2.9, -1.4] kg; control: -2.0 [95% CI -2.7, -1.3] kg) and body weight (personalized: -3.1 [95% CI -4.1, -2.1] kg; control: -3.3 [95% CI -4.2, -2.4] kg). The difference between groups in fat mass change was -0.1 kg (95% CI -1.2, 0.9 kg, P = 0.77). Both diets resulted in significant improvements in insulin resistance and lipid profile, but there were no significant differences between groups. + + CONCLUSION: Personalized dietary plans did not result in greater benefits over a generic, but generally healthy diet, in this 10-week clinical trial. Further studies are required to establish the soundness of different precision nutrition approaches, and translate this science into clinically relevant dietary advice to reduce the burden of obesity and its comorbidities. + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY: ClinicalTrials.gov registry (NCT04590989).

Fasting blood was collected to test biomarkers and SNPs. A total of 266 patients underwent MRI-PDFF and FibroScan examinations, and 38 underwent liver biopsy. Diagnostic models (decision tree, LASSO, and elastic net) were developed based on the diagnosis from MRI-PDFF reports. + + RESULTS: Approximately, 1/3 of the patients were found to have NASH and fibrosis. After quantifying liver steatosis by MRI-PDFF (healthy: n = 47; mild NAFLD: n = 136; moderate/severe NAFLD: n = 83; liver fat content (LFC): 3.6% vs. 8.7% vs. 19.0%), most biomarkers showed significant differences among the three groups, and patients without obesity were found to have a similar LFC as those with obesity (11.1% vs. 12.3%). Models including biomarkers showed strong diagnostic ability (accuracy: 0.80-0.91). Variant alleles of PNPLA3, HSD17B13 and MBOAT7 were identified as genetic risk factors causing higher LFC (8.7% vs. 12.3%; 11.0% vs. 14.5%; 8.5% vs. 10.2%, p < 0.05); those with the UQCC1 rs878639 variant allele showed lower LFC (10.4% vs. 8.4%; OR = 0.58, p < 0.05). Patients with more risk alleles had higher LFCs (8.1% vs. 10.7% vs. 11.6% vs. 14.5%). + + CONCLUSIONS: Based on MRI-PDFF, a combination of several specific biomarkers can accurately predict disease status. When the effects of genes on liver steatosis were first quantified by MRI-PDFF, the UQCC1 rs878639 G allele was identified as a protective factor, and the MBOAT7 T allele was identified as a risk only among nonobese individuals.

Elements in the toenails are now considered in the diagnosis or screening and used as biomarkers of several metabolic disorders. The incidence of obesity is more prevalent in females than males globally. At the same time, females appeared more susceptible to elemental alterations than males. This study aimed to evaluate the variation in the levels of several elements in toenails as possible biomarkers of health conditions associated with obesity in young Saudi females. A cross-sectional study was performed, between February-November 2019. The study enrolled 79 young females divided into two groups: participants with obesity (n=39) and non-obese (n=40). The toenail was analyzed to estimate Fe, I, K, Na, Cd, Cr, Mn, Ca, Mg, Cu, Co, and Se levels. The study showed a significant elevation in the levels of Fe, Ca, K, and Na in the toenail sample of female participants with obesity compared to the non-obese group. The levels of Mn, Cd, Co, Cu, and Cr, were significantly decreased in the toenail of participants with obesity. Moreover, other elements (i.e., Mg, I, and Se) were not significantly lower in the female group with obesity. Our findings confirmed the alterations of several elements among Saudi females with obesity. The toenail elemental analysis may become a useful diagnostic technique in monitoring the nutritional status, predicting some metabolic disorders, and environmental exposure.

The number of scientific studies investigating these strategies has also increased, however, very few have examined the combined effects, especially on body composition and cardiometabolic biomarkers, which is the primary aim of this investigation. A total of thirty-four male and female participants (age: 35.4 +/- 8.4 y, body mass index (BMI): 31.3 +/- 3.5 kg/m2, aerobic capacity (VO2peak) 27.7 +/- 7.0 mL.kg-1.min-1) were randomized into one of three 16-week interventions: (1) 5:2 IF (2 non-consecutive days of fasting per week, 5 days on ad libitum eating), (2) supervised SIT (3 bouts per week of 20s cycling at 150% VO2peak followed by 40 s of active rest, total 10 min duration), and (3) a combination of both interventions. Body composition, haemodynamic and VO2peak were measured at 0, 8 and 16 weeks. Blood samples were also taken and analysed for lipid profiles and markers of glucose regulation. Both IF and IF/SIT significantly decreased body weight, fat mass and visceral fat compared to SIT only (p < 0.05), with no significant differences between diet and diet + exercise combined. The effects of diet and/or exercise on cardiometabolic biomarkers were mixed. Only exercise alone or with IF significantly increased cardiorespiratory fitness. The results suggest that energy restriction was the main driver of body composition enhancement, with little effect from the low volume SIT. Conversely, to achieve benefits in cardiorespiratory fitness, exercise is required. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The methodological quality of each included study was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool was used to assess the risk of bias. Statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3. + + RESULTS: Eleven randomized controlled studies with a total of 779 participants were included in this meta-analysis. WB-EMS training improved sarcopenia Z-score (MD = -1.52, 95 % CI: -2.27, -0.77, P < 0.0001) and waist circumference (WC) (MD = -1.41, 95 % CI: -2.62, -0.20, P = 0.02), and increased skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) (MD = 1.27, 95 % CI: 0.66,1.88, P < 0.0001) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) (MD = 0.68, 95 % CI: 0.08, 1.27, P = 0.03). Protein supplementation intervention reduced body fat rate (BF%) (MD = -1.28, 95 % CI: -1.88, -0.68, P < 0.0001, I2 = 0 %), total body fat (TBF) (MD = -0.98, 95 % CI: -1.65, -0.31, P = 0.004, I2 = 0 %) and trunk body fat mass (TBFM) (MD = -0.50, 95 % CI: -0.94, -0.06, P = 0.03, I2 = 0 %), and increased grip strength (GS) (MD = 1.13, 95 % CI: 0.06, 2.21, P = 0.04, I2 = 0 %). The combination of WB-EMS and protein supplements is beneficial to most body components and physical functions, such as SMI (MD = 1.21, 95 % CI: 0.73, 1.51, P < 0.00001, I2 = 0 %), GS (MD = 1.60, 95 % CI: 0.80, 2.40, P < 0.0001, I2 = 45 %) and walking speed (WS) (MD = 0.04, 95 % CI: 0.02, 0.06, P < 0.0001, I2 = 49 %). Compared with protein supplementation alone, WB-EMS could have an additional beneficial effect on BF% (MD = -0.92, 95 % CI: -1.80, -0.04, P = 0.04) and WC (MD = -1.03, 95 % CI: -1.70, -0.36, P = 0.003). Nevertheless, the addition of protein supplements did not provide any additional benefit compared with WB-EMS alone. In addition, there was almost no positive effect of WB-EMS and protein supplements on metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers. + + CONCLUSIONS: As things stand, protein supplementation intervention can effectively reduce body fat percentage, fat mass, and increase grip strength in SO patients. Both WB-EMS and protein supplementation intervention had no significant effects on metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers. WB-EMS combined with protein supplementation intervention was beneficial for SO patients in many ways. Due to the small number of studies, further studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of WB-EMS alone or in combination with protein supplementation intervention in SO patients. + + REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY202190096 DOI:10.37766/inplasy2021.9.0096.

However, the association between long-term exposure to AA and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship between hemoglobin adducts of AA, biomarkers of internal exposure to AA, and MetS prevalence among a U.S. nationwide population. MetS patients were defined by meeting three or more of the following five characteristics: elevated blood pressure, high fasting glucose, abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Multivariate-adjusted logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline models were used to analyze the associations between AA hemoglobin biomarkers and MetS prevalence. A total of 1552 MetS cases were documented. After adjustment for the potential confounders, the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of MetS prevalence in the highest quartile of AA hemoglobin biomarkers were 0.60 (0.40-0.89), 1.26 (0.84-1.89), 0.93 (0.71-1.21), and 1.61 (1.18-2.20) for HbAA, HbGA, the sum of HbAA and HbGA (HbAA + HbGA), and the ratio of HbGA to HbAA (HbGA/HbAA), compared with the lowest quartile, respectively. HbAA was significantly and inversely associated with blood pressure, fasting glucose, abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL-C, while the HbGA/HbAA ratio was also positively associated with abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL-C. The restricted cubic spline models revealed a positive relationship between the HbGA/HbAA ratio and the prevalence of MetS, while the HbAA level was inversely associated with MetS prevalence. Our current findings provided epidemiological evidence that HbAA and the HbGA/HbAA ratio were significantly associated with MetS prevalence among general U.S. adults. Further studies should be conducted to examine the association between internal exposure to AA and MetS prevalence. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Epoxy Compounds). 0 (Hemoglobins). 20R035KLCI (Acrylamide). 6G5ELX5XYN (glycidamide).

The goal of this work was to assess the prevalence of white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation in patients with endometrial cancer (EC), and the association with circulating inflammation markers. Furthermore, the aim was to characterize the pathways activated in and the cell type composition of adipose tissue in patients with EC. + + METHODS: Adipose tissue and blood samples were prospectively collected from 101 patients with EC at initial surgery. WAT inflammation was determined based on adipocytes surrounded by macrophages forming crown-like structures. Circulating levels of metabolic syndrome-associated and inflammatory markers were quantified. RNA-sequencing was performed on adipose samples (n = 55); differential gene expression, pathway, and cellular decomposition analyses were performed using state-of-the-art bioinformatics methods. + + RESULTS: WAT inflammation was identified in 46 (45.5%) of 101 EC patients. Dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus were significantly associated with WAT inflammation (p < .05). WAT inflammation was associated with greater body mass index (p < .001) and higher circulating levels of leptin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6, as well as lower levels of adiponectin and sex hormone-binding globulin (p < .05). Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated increased levels of proinflammatory and pro-neoplastic-related gene expression in inflamed omental adipose tissue. + + CONCLUSIONS: WAT inflammation is associated with metabolic syndrome, obesity, and inflammatory markers, as well as increased expression of proinflammatory and proneoplastic genes.

The sample consisted of 2338 adults aged 18-65 years. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) data were objectively measured using accelerometers. Sleep duration was self-reported using a daily log. Body mass index and waist circumference were assessed as markers of adiposity. Meeting the 24-h movement guidelines was defined as >= 150 min/week of MVPA; <= 8 h/day of SB; and between 7 and 9 h/day of sleep. The number of guidelines being met was 0.90 (95% CI 0.86, 0.93) with higher value in men than women. We found differences between countries. Meeting two and three movement guidelines was associated with overweight/obesity (OR: 0.75, 95% CI 0.58, 0.97 and OR: 0.69, 95% CI 0.51, 0.85, respectively) and high waist circumference (OR: 0.74, 95% CI 0.56, 0.97 and OR: 0.77, 95% CI 0.62, 0.96). Meeting MVPA and SB recommendations were related to reduced adiposity markers but only in men. Future research is needed to gain insights into the directionality of the associations between 24-h movement guidelines compliance and markers of adiposity but also the mechanisms underlying explaining differences between men and women.

Anthropometric characteristics, metabolic parameters, and reproductive hormones were collected. Serum FGL-1 measurement was conducted using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. + + RESULTS: Serum FGL-1 concentrations were higher in patients with PCOS than in control subjects in body mass index (BMI) subgroups, insulin resistance (IR) subgroups, and hepatic function subgroups, respectively. Serum FGL-1 concentrations were significantly associated with BMI, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), and serum uric acid (SUA) in all individuals. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the best cutoff value for FGL-1 levels to predict PCOS was 21.02 ng/ml with a sensitivity of 74.3% and a specificity of 70.6%. Both univariate and multiple logistic regressions indicated that the odds ratio (OR) for PCOS significantly increased in the subjects with high levels of FGL-1. + + CONCLUSION: In our study, FGL-1 was associated with serum aminotransferase and various metabolic indexes. Moreover, the high risk of PCOS was independently associated with the increased FGL-1 levels, which suggested that FGL-1 could be a predictive biomarker for PCOS. Copyright © 2022.

Shown to be regulated by obesity, diabetes, caloric restriction, weight loss and heart diseases, Metrnl is definitely involved in metabolic turbulences, and may play roles in metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, due to the conflicting data yielded, Metrnl is still far from clinical application as a diagnostic and/or a therapeutic agent or even a therapeutic target in MetS-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Nevertheless, blood Metrnl levels as well as Metrnl as a cardiokine have been reported to play cardioprotective roles against heart diseases. Considering the established metabolic and anti-inflammatory hallmarks, exercise-induced Metrnl (as a myokine) is regarded as an exercise mediator in improving obesity-induced complications such as insulin resistance, T2D and inflammation. Besides, due to its healing role in muscle damage, Metrnl is also a potential therapeutic candidate to enhance regeneration with ageing or other inflammatory myopathies like Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Therefore, there are still many exercise-related questions unanswered on Metrnl, such as Metrnl-mediated fat browning in humans, exercise effects on heart Metrnl production and secretion and the effects of other exercise-induced skeletal muscle stressors like hypoxia and oxidative in Metrnl production other than exercise-induced muscle damage.

In the context of obesity ALT may also be a good indicator of overall health. Obesity has been reported as a risk factor associated with elevation of ALT, which is a surrogate marker of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Elevated ALT may correlate with the severity of NAFLD in obese female. This study was done to evaluate the changes of serum ALT in obese female age ranged 30-60 years in comparison to normal healthy female of same age. At the same time we can know the relationship between body mass index and serum ALT concentration in obese female. This analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Physiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from January 2020 to December 2020. A total number of 100 female subjects were included in this study. Among them fifty (50) normal healthy female were taken as control group (Group I) and fifty (50) obese female were taken as study group (Group II). The level of serum ALT was determined by Ultra violet (UV) method. Data were expressed as mean+/-SD and statistical significance of difference among the group was calculated by unpaired Student's 't' test. Pearson's correlation coefficient test was done to find the correlation of serum ALT with BMI by using SPSS (version 21.0). During interpretation of results, p values of <0.001 were considered as statistically highly significant. In this study, serum level of ALT was significantly higher (p<0.001) in obese female compared to those of healthy control female. In addition, there is a positive correlation of serum ALT with BMI. From the results of the present study, it can be concluded that, elevated ALT was significantly associated with high BMI as well as with other feature of NAFLD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

High natural biological variance, together with multiple factors that can modulate circulating testosterone concentration, may influence its interpretation and clinical implications. Insulin-like peptide 3 is a biomarker of Leydig cell function that might provide complementary information on testicular health and its downstream outcomes. + + OBJECTIVES: To characterize insulin-like peptide 3 as a biomarker to assess gonadal status in aging men. + + METHODS AND MATERIALS: A large European multicenter (European Male Aging Study) cohort of community-dwelling men was analyzed to determine how insulin-like peptide 3 relates to a range of hormonal, anthropometric, and lifestyle parameters. + + RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Insulin-like peptide 3 declines cross-sectionally and longitudinally within individuals at approximately 15% per decade from age 40 years, unlike testosterone (1.9% per decade), which is partly compensated by increasing pituitary luteinizing hormone production. Importantly, lower insulin-like peptide 3 in younger men appears to persist with aging. Multiple regression analysis shows that, unlike testosterone, insulin-like peptide 3 is negatively dependent on luteinizing hormone and sex hormone-binding globulin and positively dependent on follicle-stimulating hormone, suggesting a different mechanism of gonadotropic regulation. Circulating insulin-like peptide 3 is negatively associated with increased body mass index or waist circumference and with smoking, and unlike testosterone, it is not affected by weight loss in obese individuals. Geographic variation in mean insulin-like peptide 3 within Europe appears to be largely explained by differences in these parameters. The results allowed the establishment of a European-wide reference range for insulin-like peptide 3 (95% confidence interval) adjusted for increasing age. + + CONCLUSION: Insulin-like peptide 3 is a constitutive biomarker of Leydig cell functional capacity and is a robust, reliably measurable peptide not subject to gonadotropin-dependent short-term regulation and within-individual variation in testosterone.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of various genes have been studied and proven to contribute to the development of multiple diseases. SNPs of the leptin pathway have been associated with the control of hunger and energy expenditure as well as with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, the present work focused on determining the association between anthropometric markers and biochemical and dietary factors related to obesity and SNPs of leptin pathway genes, such as the leptin gene (LEP), the leptin receptor (LEPR), proopiomelanocortin (POMC), prohormone convertase 1 (PCSK1), and the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R). A population of 574 young Mexican adults of both sexes, aged 19 years old on average and without metabolic disorders previously diagnosed, underwent a complete medical and nutritional evaluation, biochemical determination, and DNA extraction from the blood; DNA samples were subsequently genotyped. Association analyses between anthropometric, biochemical, and dietary variables with SNPs were performed using binary logistic regressions (p-value = 0.05). Although the sampled population did not have previously diagnosed diseases, the evaluation results showed that 33% were overweight or obese according to BMI and 64% had non-clinically elevated levels of body fat. From the 74 SNP markers analyzed from the five previously mentioned genes, 62 showed polymorphisms within the sampled population, and only 35 of these had significant associations with clinical variables. The risk associations (OR > 1) occurred between clinical markers with elevated values for waist circumference, waist-height index, BMI, body fat percentage, glucose levels, insulin levels, HOMA-IR, triglyceride levels, cholesterol levels, LDL-c, low HDL-c, carbohydrate intake, and protein intake and SNPs of the LEP, LEPR, PCSK1, and MC4R genes. On the other hand, the protective associations (OR < 1) were associated with markers including elevated values for insulin, HOMA-IR, cholesterol, c-LDL, energy intake > 2440 Kcal/day, and lipid intake and SNPs of the LEP and LEPR genes and POMC. The present study describes associations between SNPs in leptin pathway genes, revealing positive and negative interactions between reported SNPs and the clinical markers related to obesity in a sampled Mexican population. Hence, our results open the door for the further study of new genetic variants and their influence on obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulins). 0 (Leptin). 66796-54-1 (Pro-Opiomelanocortin). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Although the promotion of a healthier lifestyle has been demonstrated as an effective strategy to reduce both body mass index and abdominal circumference in this population, there is a lack of studies focusing on digital intervention in this population. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of studies that used digital technologies to reduce weight, body mass index (BMI) and abdominal circumference in individuals with severe mental illness. This current review also compared remote and hybrid interventions, the effects of those interventions in metabolic biomarkers as well as in the development of a healthier lifestyle. The main findings included the following: (a) the use of digital devices or strategies might be feasible and useful to reduce sedentary behavior among individuals with severe mental illnesses, 2) most interventions used digital pedometers and mobile phone communication (either text messages or phone calls) as main strategies, 3) all remote interventions and six of nine hybrid interventions found significant outcomes in favor of their interventions. In conclusion, even with a limited number of studies promoting healthier lifestyle through digital interventions among individuals with severe mental illnesses, evidence from studies included in this review showed that they might be useful to improve a healthier lifestyle and increase the frequency of physical activity behavior.

Metabolic syndrome was defined by >= 3 criteria among (1) high waist circumference; (2) high triglycerides; (3) low high-density lipoproteins; (4) fasting glucose >=100 mg/dl; (5) blood pressure >=95th percentile in children, and >=130/80 mmHg in adolescents. High serum uric acid was defined as serum UA value >= 75th percentile adjusted for sex. Fatty liver disease was determined by echography. + + RESULTS: The sample was stratified in four categories: (1) no HUA, no MetS (reference category); (2) MetS; (3) HUA; (4) HUA and MetS (HUA + MetS). The prevalence of FLD increased across the four categories from 29.9%, 44.0%, 52.2%, to 67.1%, respectively (p < 0.0001). The ORs for the categorical variables were 1.33 (1.06-1.68) for MetS (p = 0.02), 3.19 (2.51-4.05) for HUA (p < 0.0001) and 3.72 (2.65-5.21) for HUA + MetS (p < 0.0001), versus the reference category regardless of the body mass index. + + CONCLUSIONS: HUA represents a useful marker of FLD in youths with OW/OB, given its greater ability to identify those at increased risk of the disease compared to MetS. The ability of both to predict incident FLD must be investigated in longitudinal study. Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

To explore this field, metabolomic and lipidomic profiles of plasma, four sites of adipose tissues (ATs) from peripheral or central depot, two sites of muscle tissue, and liver tissue from a group of nondiabetic women with obesity who were scheduled to undergo bariatric surgery (n = 21) or other upper GI surgery (n = 5), were measured by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Relationships between plasma and tissue profiles were examined using Pearson correlation analysis subject to Benjamini-Hochberg correction. Plasma metabolites and lipids showed the highest number of significantly positive correlations with their corresponding concentrations in liver tissue, including lipid species of ceramide, mono- and di-hexosylceramide, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), lysophosphatidylethanolamine, dimethyl phosphatidylethanolamine, ether-linked PC, ether-linked PE, free fatty acid, cholesteryl ester, diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol, and polar metabolites linked to several metabolic functions and gut microbial metabolism. Plasma also showed significantly positive correlations with muscle for several phospholipid species and polar metabolites linked to metabolic functions and gut microbial metabolism, and with AT for several triacylglycerol species. In conclusion, plasma metabolomic and lipidomic profiles were reflective more of the liver profile than any of the muscle or AT sites examined in the present study. Our findings highlighted the importance of taking into consideration the metabolomic relationship of various tissues with plasma when postulating plasma metabolites marker to underlying mechanisms occurring in a specific tissue.

Avocados are rich in MUFA and PUFA fats and fiber. + + OBJECTIVES: Assess replacement of carbohydrate energy with avocado energy for 12 wk on glucose homeostasis and cardiometabolic risk factors in self-selecting free-living adults who are overweight or with obesity and have insulin resistance. + + METHODS: In a single-center, randomized, 2-arm, controlled, 12-wk parallel trial, adults [n = 93; male/female: 39/54; mean +/- SD age: 42 +/- 12 y; BMI: 32.6 +/- 3.9 (in kg/m2); HOMA-IR: 2.7 +/- 1.7] were counseled to exchange avocado (AV) or control food (C; low fat, low fiber, energy matched) for carbohydrate food in their usual diet for 12 wk. The primary outcome was the change in Matsuda Insulin Sensitivity Index (MISI) after 12-wk interventions. Secondary outcomes were changes in fasting and post-oral glucose tolerance test glycemic variables, fasting lipids, endothelial activation and inflammation markers. Automated Self-Administered 24-h Dietary Assessment Tool captured weekly dietary intake. Intervention effects were mainly determined by ANCOVA using PC-SAS version 9.4. + + RESULTS: Dietary total, MUFA, and PUFA fat; fiber; and vegetable intake were higher in the AV group compared with the C group (P < 0.05), and no change in body weight or composition was observed (P > 0.05). Differences between the changes in MISI after AV compared with C were not different (DELTA0-12 wk, P = 0.1092). Differences in fasting insulin (DELTA0-12 wk, P = 0.0855) and improved glycated hemoglobin (DELTA0-12 wk, P = 0.0632) after AV compared with C were suggested. C-reactive protein was significantly lower after AV compared with C at 12 wk (P = 0.0418). Select biomarkers of endothelial activation and lipoproteins by NMR were also influenced by AV compared with C food intake. + + CONCLUSIONS: Avocado intake was associated with a healthier dietary pattern and trends favoring improved glucose control and reduced biomarkers of cardiometabolic risk when replacing avocado energy for carbohydrate energy in free-living adults who are overweight or with obesity and have insulin resistance.

This study investigated the magnitude of microalbuminuria and its association with serum lipids and inflammatory markers among a rural black population residing in the Dikgale Health and Demographic Surveillance System site, South Africa. + + METHODS: Data were collected from 602 presumably healthy participants (225 men and 377 women) aged >= 18 years. Biochemical data collection included serum lipids, glucose, insulin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), urine albumin and creatinine. Anthropometry and blood pressure were also measured. Microalbuminuria was diagnosed with an albumin-creatinine ratio of >= 2.5 mg/mmol in men and >= 3.5 mg/mmol in women. Data were analysed using SPSS version 22.0. + + RESULTS: The mean age of participants was 48.63 +/- 20.89 years. High percentages of microalbuminaria (35.7%), high levels of interleukin 6 (17.8%), hs-CRP (32.9%), triglycerides (TG) (26.1%), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (52.2%) and total cholesterol (32.0%), and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (29.1%) were observed in the population. Increased glucose levels (32.8%), insulin resistance (27.6%), hypertension (45.8%), overweight (26.8%) and obesity (25.4%) were also prevalent. Microalbuminuria was associated with high hs-CRP and TG levels in the men (adjusted odds ratios = 9.434, 95% confidence interval: 1.753 - 50.778, p = 0.01). + + CONCLUSIONS: High prevalence of microalbuminuria, hypertension, insulin resistance, overweight and obesity, as well as abnormal levels of serum lipids and inflammatory markers were observed in the population. Microalbuminuria was associated with high hs-CRP and TG levels among men. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein).

Thus, we sought to investigate the influence of plant-based diet on MHO and MUHO phenotypes mediated by inflammatory markers in overweight and obese women. + + Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 289 women aged >=18 years, with a body mass index (BMI) >=25 kg/m2. Dietary intake was measured using 147 item food frequency questionnaire, as well as anthropometrics and biochemistry panel, in all participants. Metabolic health phenotypes were considered using Karelis score, while plant-based diet indices (PDI) were evaluated based on 18 food groups, where healthy and unhealthy PDI were identified. + + Results: Accordingly, 26.9% of women had MHO and 73.1% had MUHO phenotypes. After adjusting for potential confounders, TGF-beta1 had a significant inverse association with hPDI (beta: -0.28; 95% CI: 452.99, -85.25; P: 0.004). Moreover, we found that women with higher hPDI had lower odds of MUHO (OR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.39, 2.30; P: 0.03). Regarding the mediatory effect of the inflammatory markers, TGF-beta1 (P: 0.73), IL-beta1 (P: 0.14), and MCP1 (P: 0.51) played a role in decreasing the odds of MUHO among hPDI tertiles. + + Conclusion: There was a significant inverse relationship between adherence to hPDI and MUHO phenotype in overweight and obese Iranian women. This association appeared to be mediated by TGF-beta1, IL-beta1, and MCP1.

Adiponectin and resistin are adipokines related to obesity. It has been described that adipose tissue presents a high production and secretion of these diverse pro-inflammatory molecules, which may have local effects on the physiology of fat cells as well as systemic effects on other organs. Our aim was to evaluate the impact that lifestyle modifications, by following a Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) program and physical activity (PA) training, would have on inflammatory biomarkers and adipokine profile in a Metabolically Healthy Obese (MHO) elderly population from Malaga (Andalusia, Spain). + + SUBJETCS AND METHODS: Subjects aged >=65 years (65 to 87 years old) with obesity (BMI >=30 kg/m2) were included in this study if they met <=1 of the following criteria: systolic blood pressure >=130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure >= 85 mmHg; triglycerides >=150 mg/dL; HDL-C <40mg/dL in men and <50mg/dL women; and fasting blood glucose >=100mg/dL. Selected subjects underwent a personalized intensive lifestyle modification. Anthropometric measurements, PA, MedDiet adherence, analytical parameters, and inflammatory biomarkers were analyzed after 12 months of intervention. + + RESULTS: 166 MHO elderly subjects, 40 (24.1%) male and 126 (75.9%) female (p < 0.0001), aged 71.7+/-5.2 years old (65 to 87 years old) were included in the study. After 12 months of intervention, only the waist circumference was significantly reduced in all the population (-2.5 cm, p<0.0001), although weight and BMI were maintained. MedDiet adherence increased significantly (p<0.001), but all intensity levels of PA decreased significantly (p<0.001). Concerning inflammatory biomarkers, only TNFa serum increased their levels after the intervention (p<0.001). Regarding the adipokine profile, adiponectin concentrations experienced a significant increment (p<0.001); besides, resistin concentrations decreased significantly (p<0.001). In this sense, only TNFa, adiponectin, and resistin correlated with PA. Adiponectin also correlates with insulin, triglycerides and HDL-c in baseline conditions and after 12 months of intervention; CRP, IL-6, TNFa, adiponectin, and resistin concentrations correlated with anthropometric parameters and some intensities of PA. In addition, adiponectin levels correlates with insulin, triglycerides and HDL-c. In baseline conditions, resistin levels correlated positively with TNFa (p = 0.01) and CRP (p<0.0001) levels. TNFa and IL-6 correlated positively with CRP (p = 0.03 and p<0.0001, respectively). After 12 months of intervention, only IL-6 correlated positively with CRP (p = 0.006). In addition, adipokines levels correlated positively during the process of lifestyle modification. However, during this process, only IL-6 correlated positively with itself (p<0.0001) and with CRP (p = 0.03). + + CONCLUSION: Healthy aging is a multifactorial biological process in which lifestyle is essential. The presence of obesity in elderly metabolically healthy population is not a problem necessarily. Elderly MHO population who eat a MedDiet and practice regularly PA are capable to modulate their production of inflammatory cytokines (CRP, IL-6, TNFa) and adipokines profile (adiponectin, resistin), preventing other metabolic disorders. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulins). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Resistin). 0 (Triglycerides). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Hitherto, total and direct causal effects of general- and central obesity on PCOS have not been comprehensively analyzed. + + OBJECTIVES: To investigate the causality of central- and general obesity on PCOS using surrogate anthropometric markers. + + METHODS: Summary GWAS data of female-only, large-sample cohorts of European ancestry were retrieved for anthropometric markers of central obesity (waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)) and general obesity (BMI and its constituent variables-weight and height), from the IEU Open GWAS Project. As the outcome, we acquired summary data from a large-sample GWAS (118870 samples; 642 cases and 118228 controls) within the FinnGen cohort. Total causal effects were assessed via univariable two-sample Mendelian randomization (2SMR). Genetic architectures underlying causal associations were explored. Direct causal effects were analyzed by multivariable MR modelling. + + RESULTS: Instrumental variables demonstrated no weak instrument bias (F > 10). Four anthropometric exposures, namely, weight (2.69-77.05), BMI (OR: 2.90-4.06), WC (OR: 6.22-20.27), and HC (OR: 6.22-20.27) demonstrated total causal effects as per univariable 2SMR models. We uncovered shared and non-shared genetic architectures underlying causal associations. Direct causal effects of WC and HC on PCOS were revealed by two multivariable MR models containing exclusively the anthropometric markers of central obesity. Other multivariable MR models containing anthropometric markers of both central- and general obesity showed no direct causal effects on PCOS. + + CONCLUSIONS: Both and general- and central obesity yield total causal effects on PCOS. Findings also indicated potential direct causal effects of normal weight-central obesity and more complex causal mechanisms when both central- and general obesity are present. Results underscore the importance of addressing both central- and general obesity for optimizing PCOS care. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Type-2 diabetes is often accompanied by comorbid obesity, which is associated with low grade inflammation. However,the immune status in Type-2 diabetes independent of obesity remains unclear. Goto-Kakizaki rats are a non-obese Type-2 diabetes model. The limited evidence available suggests that Goto-Kakizaki rats have a pro-inflammatory immune profile in pancreatic islets. Here we present a detailed overview of the adult Goto-Kakizaki rat immune system. Three converging lines of evidence: fewer pro-inflammatory cells, lower levels of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, and a clear downregulation of pro-inflammatory signalling in liver, muscle and adipose tissues indicate a limited pro-inflammatory baseline immune profile outside the pancreas. As Type-2 diabetes is frequently associated with obesity and adipocyte-released inflammatory mediators, the pro-inflammatory milieu seems not due to Type-2 diabetes per se; although this overall reduction of immune markers suggests marked immune dysfunction in Goto-Kakizaki rats.

Obese condition is linked with an increased level of body lipids, oxidative stress, and expression of inflammatory markers. This leads to plasma and hepatic hyperlipidemia, activation of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1beta), and transcriptional factors, which in turn lead to a high risk of cardiovascular diseases, insulin resistance, diabetes, asthma, rheumatological problem, and liver failure. Grains are the major staple food crops grown for consumption in most of the developing countries. Cereals and millets, such as rice, wheat, maize, barley, finger millet, foxtail millet, proso millet, kodo millet in the whole form with bran, germ, and endosperm, are found to be rich in phytochemicals, such as phenolics acids, vitamin E, phytosterols, carotenoids, antioxidants, dietary fiber, which have a potential health benefit on various lifestyle disorders. In this article, we summarize the findings and investigations regarding the anti-inflammatory effect of various grain phytochemicals in in vitro and in vivo models and their potential health benefits. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The occurrence of obesity is rising globally and is becoming a major health concern. Obesity will lead to multiple health problems due to oxidative and inflammatory stress in the body. Whole forms of cereals and millets consumptions have shown to reduce the risk of metabolic disorders and several chronic diseases. Potential bioactive components in various grains will act on the inhibition ofbiochemical markers connected with inflammation and adipogenesis.

Adult recipients have an increased risk of post-transplantation obesity; however, pediatric data are limited. + + METHODS: The study included 42 recipients of pediatric liver transplantation in Denmark, transplanted between 1990 and 2014. The study participants were examined with anthropometric measures, dual-energy X-ray scans and blood samples. From the anthropometric measures, body mass index (BMI) and BMI standard deviation score (SDS) were calculated. From the dual-energy X-ray scans, fat percent was assessed, and body fat mass index (BFMI) was calculated. + + RESULTS: The median age was 17.4 years (range 4.1-38.9) at the time of the study, and the median time since transplantation was 8.5 years (range 0.4-23.9). The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 31.0% based on BMI SDS (age below 18) and BMI (age 18 and above). When compared to the participants with normal weight, the participants with overweight and obesity had a higher BFMI (9.29 vs 5.57 kg/m2 , p < .001) and fat percent (38.35% vs 29.50%, p = .006). They had higher levels of total cholesterol (4.3 vs 3.6 mmol/L, p = .023) and low-density lipoprotein (2.5 vs 1.7, p = .015), and had had longer time since transplantation (15.6 vs 8.5 years respectively, p = .045). + + CONCLUSIONS: Long-time survivors of pediatric liver transplantation have a higher BMI or BMI SDS than the general pediatric population. The obesity is characterized by a higher BFMI, fat percent, and cholesterols levels, when compared to recipients without overweight or obesity. Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the nutritional ketosis and weight loss induced by a very-low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) modulates the inflammatory and oxidative stress profile, compared with a standard, balanced hypocaloric diet (LCD) or bariatric surgery (BS) in patients with obesity. + + METHODS: The study was performed in 79 patients with overweight or obesity and 32 normal-weight volunteers as the control group. Patients with obesity underwent a weight reduction therapy based on VLCKD, LCD or BS. The quantification of the circulating levels of a multiplexing test of cytokines and carcinogenesis/aging biomarkers, as well as of lipid peroxides and total antioxidant power, was carried out. + + RESULTS: First, we observed that pro-inflammatory cytokines increase, while anti-inflammatory cytokines decrease under excessive body weight. Relevantly, when patients underwent weight loss strategies, it was shown that energy-restricted and surgical strategies of weight loss induced changes in circulating cytokine and lipid peroxides. This effect was more notable in patients following the VLCKD than the LCD or BS and it was observed mainly in the ketosis phase of the intervention. Particularly, IL-11, IL-12, IL-2, INF-gamma, INF-beta, Pentraxin-3 or MMP1 changed after VLCKD. Whereas, APRIL, TWEAK, osteocalcin and IL-28A increased after BS. + + CONCLUSION: As far as we know, this is the first study that evaluate the time-course of cytokines and oxidative stress markers after a VLCKD as compared with a standard LCD and BS. The observed results support the immunomodulatory effect of nutritional ketosis induced by a VLCKD synergistically with weight loss as a strategy to improve innate-immunity and to prevent infections and carcinogenesis in patients with obesity.

After a mean follow-up period of 18 years, there were 149 confirmed cases of fatal or non-fatal VTE (deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism). Among classical cardiovascular risk factors, only obesity and cigarette smoking were associated with VTE risk. After adjustment for age, obesity and smoking, VTE risk was associated with coagulation factor VIII, factor IX, von Willebrand factor (VWF), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and fibrin D-dimer. Hazard ratios (95% CI) for top to bottom quarters (bottom to top for APTT), were respectively 2.17 (1.37, 3.44), 2.15 (1.30, 3.53), 2.02 (1.27, 3.22), 2.43 (1.47, 4.02) and 3.62 (2.18, 6.08). The 11% of men with both the shortest APTT and highest D-dimer combined had a 5.02 (2.37, 10.62) higher risk of VTE. VTE risk was not associated with fibrinogen, factor VII or activated protein C resistance; full blood count variables or with inflammatory markers, plasma viscosity, C-reactive protein or interleukin-6. The combination of D-dimer and APTT merits evaluation as an adjunct to VTE risk prediction scores. Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

An emerging biomarker for the assessment of this adipose tissue (AT) dysfunction is the adiponectin:leptin (AL) ratio. A low AL ratio may be suggestive of dysfunctional AT and, consequently, a heightened cardiometabolic disease risk. This ancillary study investigated the relationship between the AL ratio and cardiometabolic health among community-dwelling older adults with obesity, as well as the effects of a 12-month exercise and diet intervention on changes in the AL ratio. + + METHODS: Participants (n = 163, 70.2 +/- 4.7 years, 38.0% male) were randomized to the exercise only group, exercise + nutrient-dense weight maintenance group (exercise + weight maintenance), or exercise + nutrient-dense caloric restriction of 500 kcal/d group (exercise + intentional weight loss) (clinicaltrials.gov #NCT00955903). Total and regional adiposity as determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), anthropometrics, and cardiometabolic biomarkers were assessed at baseline and 12 months. + + RESULTS: The AL ratio was significantly (p < 0.05) inversely correlated with body mass index, waist circumference, measures of adiposity, and insulin among all participants at baseline. Among females only, significant positive and inverse correlations were also observed between this ratio and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the inflammatory biomarkers high sensitivity C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, respectively. While controlling for biological sex, a significant time by intervention group interaction effect (p < 0.05) was observed such that the AL ratio significantly increased from baseline to study completion among participants in the exercise + weight maintenance group and exercise + intentional weight loss group. Post hoc analysis revealed that the exercise + intentional weight loss group exhibited a significantly greater AL ratio at study completion compared to other groups (p < 0.05 all). + + CONCLUSIONS: Results are in support of the AL ratio as a measure of AT dysfunction among older adults. Furthermore, results suggest that a 12-month exercise and diet intervention with intentional weight loss assists in improving the AL ratio in this population. Copyright © 2022.

Salvia officinalis plants were collected from Hail region, Saudi Arabia. Rats were fed HFD and supplemented orally with SOTE (250 mg kg-1) or SOHFF (100 mg kg-1) or simvastatin (SVS; 10 mg kg-1) every day for 8 weeks. Compared to the controls, HFD-induced obesity led to significant increases in body weight, body weight gained, blood insulin, leptin, cardiac enzymes (LDH and CPK) activity, and atherogenic index (AI). HFD rats also showed higher levels of hepatic and renal function biomarkers (ALT, urea, and creatinine), as well as lower levels of PPARgamma and Nrf2-gene expression and a disrupted lipid profile. Moreover, HFD rats had lower levels of hepatic and renal antioxidant biomarkers (CAT, GPx, SOD, GR, and GSH), accompanied by higher levels of hepatic and renal lipid peroxidation (LPO), nitric oxide (NO), and inflammatory mediators (interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)). In addition, histological examination of hepatic and renal tissues revealed histopathological changes that validated the biochemical findings. Compared to HFD group, SOTE and SOHFF treatment led to marked amelioration of all the aforementioned parameters. Collectively, supplementation with SOTE and SOHFF effectively reversed HFD-induced alterations through its antioxidant, hypolipidemic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Hence, SOTE and SOHFF have therapeutic potential in controlling obesity and related pathologies. Copyright © 2022.

Studies suggest that a lower early pregnancy fetal fraction is associated with an increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. However, maternal obesity significantly affects fetal fraction and is a risk factor for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. + + OBJECTIVE: We determined the association between fetal fraction (using a standardized single-institution platform, including male and female fetuses) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, stratified by obesity status. Second, we evaluated differences in total cell-free DNA concentration and correlation of fetal fraction with clinical markers of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy severity. + + STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective, single-institution study of a previously validated cell-free DNA-based noninvasive prenatal screening assay of 1058 samples. Maternal body mass index at the time of noninvasive prenatal screening was assessed, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were confirmed by a detailed medical record review. Differences in fetal fraction and total cell-free DNA concentration between the groups were assessed with univariate analyses. Multivariable regression was used to evaluate the association between fetal fraction and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, adjusted for body mass index, maternal age, gestational age at noninvasive prenatal screening, and fetal sex. The association between fetal fraction and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy among individuals with obesity (body mass index, >=30 kg/m2) and individuals without obesity (body mass index, <30 kg/m2) was investigated while controlling for the aforementioned covariates. Lastly, multivariable linear regression was used to evaluate the association between fetal fraction and clinical markers of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy severity. + + RESULTS: We identified individuals with (n=117) and without (n=941) hypertensive disorders of pregnancy with noninvasive prenatal screening drawn before 20 weeks of gestation and with fetal fraction and body mass index data available. Those with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy had a lower fetal fraction (10.2%+/-4.2% vs 11.6%+/-4.7%; P<.01), without differences in total cell-free DNA concentration (P=.14). When groups were stratified by obesity status, this relationship was only valid for individuals without obesity (P=.02). Only when logistic regression analysis was restricted to individuals without obesity did the likelihood of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy rise with decreasing fetal fraction (odds ratio, 0.93; 95% confidence interval, 0.88-0.99; P=.02). In addition, fetal fraction was inversely associated with maximum systolic blood pressure at the time of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy only in the population without obesity (beta, -0.08; 95% confidence interval, -0.147 to -0.01; P=.02). + + CONCLUSION: Although a lower fetal fraction is associated with the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, the use of this parameter for the prediction may be problematic in individuals with obesity, as obesity has such a profound effect on fetal fraction. However, we uniquely noted that among individuals without obesity, fetal fraction is lower for those that develop hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and lower fetal fraction increases the odds of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy development. Lastly, low fetal fraction in the population without obesity that developed hypertensive disorders of pregnancy was associated with higher systolic blood pressure at the time of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, an important clinical marker of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy severity. As analytical approaches of cell-free DNA interrogation advance, the prediction of placental-mediated disorders with first-trimester sampling is likely to improve, although this may remain challenging in gravidas with obesity, a cohort at high risk of developing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Furthermore, it has been shown that a plant-based dietary index (PDI) can elicit a positive impact on these metabolic markers. Therefore, we sought to examine whether PDI intakes may affect the relationship between CAV-1 (rs3807992) and metabolic factors, as well as serum inflammatory markers and anthropometric measures, in women with obesity. This current study consisted of 400 women with overweight and obesity, with a mean (SD) age of 36.67 +/- 9.10 years. PDI was calculated by a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The anthropometric measurements and serum profiles were measured by standard protocols. Genotyping of the CAV-1(rs3807992) was conducted by the PCR-RFLP method. The following genotypic frequencies were found among the participants: GG (47.8%), AG (22.3%), and AA (2.3%). In comparison to GG homozygotes, risk-allele carriers (AA + AG) with higher PDI intake had lower ALT (P: 0.03), hs-CRP (P: 0.008), insulin (P: 0.01) and MCP-1 (P: 0.04). Furthermore, A-allele carriers were characterized by lower serum ALT (P: 0.04), AST (P: 0.02), insulin (P: 0.03), and TGF-beta (P: 0.001) when had the higher following a healthful PDI compared to GG homozygote. Besides, risk-allele carriers who consumed higher unhealthful PDI had higher WC (P: 0.04), TC/HDL (P: 0.04), MCP-1 (P: 0.03), and galactin-3 (P: 0.04). Our study revealed that A-allele carriers might be more sensitive to PDI composition compared to GG homozygotes. Following a healthful PDI in A-allele carriers may be associated with improvements in metabolic and inflammatory markers and anthropometric measures. Copyright © 2022.

Physical activity (PA) is known to reduce inflammation and risk for CVD. However, Lp-PLA2 has yet to be examined in relation to PA and sedentary time. The purpose of this study was to determine if PA and sedentary time impacts Lp-PLA2 mass. A total of 25 subjects with an average BMI of 30.6 +/- 5.7 were included in the data analysis. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Data collected included anthropometric data, Lp-PLA2 mass, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), resting heart rate and blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk, and assessment of PA using an accelerometer. Sedentary minutes per day was positively associated with Lp-PLA2 (r = 0.41, P < 0.05). Light intensity PA was negatively associated (r = -0.51. P = 0.01) with Lp-PLA2. When subjects were divided into 2-quantiles by Lp-PLA2, the group with the higher Lp-PLA2 mass accumulated more sedentary time per day (P < 0.001) and less light intensity PA per day (P = 0.001). OSA risk and Lp-PLA2 showed no relationship. Sedentary behavior was higher, and light intensity PA was lower in subjects with hiLp-PLA2 mass. No difference was seen in moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA or steps per day. + + CONCLUSIONS: This suggests that, total PA habits, including time spent sedentary and lower intensity PA, impacts the levels of Lp-PLA2, an important inflammatory marker and marker of CVD risk.

High-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) as an inflammatory marker has been used in diagnosing MAFLD. However, the association between hsCRP and the severity of liver steatosis and fibrosis among obese patients with MAFLD remains to be elucidated. + + Objective: To explore the correlation of hsCRP with the severity of liver steatosis and fibrosis among Chinese obese patients with MAFLD. + + Methods: A total of 393 obese patients with mean BMI 34.8 +/- 6.6 kg/m2 were selected and categorized as MAFLD and non-MAFLD groups. Anthropometric data, biochemical indices, and hsCRP were measured. The severity of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis was assessed using FibroScan. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between hsCRP and the risk of MAFLD and its disease severity. + + Results: Patients with MAFLD showed significantly elevated hsCRP levels and were more likely to have severe steatosis and fibrosis compared to those without MAFLD. The proportions of MAFLD, severe steatosis, and severe fibrosis were significantly increased across the hsCRP quartiles (P-trend = 0.004, 0.021, and 0.006, respectively). After multivariable adjustments, the adjusted ORs (AORs) and 95%CI for MAFLD were 1.00 (reference), 1.298 (0.587-2.872), 2.407 (1.002-5.781), and 2.637(1.073-6.482) (Q1-Q4, P-trend = 0.014). Likewise, the AORs (95%CI) for severe steatosis and severe fibrosis were remarkably increased with the increment of serum hsCRP quartiles (P-trend < 0.001, P-trend = 0.021, respectively). + + Conclusions: Elevated serum hsCRP levels were associated with increased risk of MAFLD among Chinese obese patients and correlated positively with the severity of liver steatosis and fibrosis, suggesting that hsCRP can be used as a potential biomarker to monitor and predict disease severity among Chinese obese population with MAFLD.

A mediator of remodeling that is increased in obesity is leptin. We hypothesized that in a mouse model of allergic airways disease, mice receiving exogenous leptin would display increased airway inflammation and fibrosis. + + METHODS: Five-week-old male and female C57BL/6J mice were challenged with intranasal house dust mite (HDM) allergen or saline 5 days per week for 6 weeks (n = 6-9 per sex, per group). Following each HDM exposure, mice received subcutaneous recombinant human leptin or saline. At 48 h after the final HDM challenge, lung mechanics were evaluated and the mice were sacrificed. Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed and differential cell counts were determined. Lung tissue was stained with Masson's trichrome, periodic acid-Schiff, and hematoxylin and eosin stains. Mouse lung fibroblasts were cultured, and whole lung mRNA was isolated. + + RESULTS: Leptin did not affect mouse body weight, but HDM+leptin increased baseline blood glucose. In mixed-sex groups, leptin increased mouse lung fibroblast invasiveness and increased lung Col1a1 mRNA expression. Total lung resistance and tissue damping were increased with HDM+leptin treatment, but not leptin or HDM alone. Female mice exhibited enhanced airway responsiveness to methacholine with HDM+leptin treatment, while leptin alone decreased total respiratory system resistance in male mice. + + CONCLUSIONS: In HDM-induced allergic airways disease, administration of exogenous leptin to mice enhanced lung resistance and increased markers of fibrosis, with differing effects between males and females.

Mitochondria play a central role in these disorders as they control cell metabolism. + + OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to characterize mitochondrial homeostasis in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (SAT and VAT) in grade III obese patients with and without hypertriglyceridemia. Moreover, this study presents the evaluation of mitochondrial fitness as a marker for hypertriglyceridemia improvement. + + PATIENTS: Eight control and 12 hypertriglyceridemic (HTG) grade III obese subjects undergoing bariatric surgery were included. + + MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Anthropometric and biochemical data were obtained before and 3 months after surgery. Mitochondrial homeostasis was evaluated by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), gene expression and protein abundance in SAT and VAT. + + RESULTS: Mitophagy-related gene expression was increased in HTG SAT and VAT, while mitochondrial marker gene expression and mtDNA were decreased, indicating an altered mitochondrial homeostasis in HTG. Mitophagy protein abundance was increased in VAT of those subjects that did not improve their levels of triglycerides after bariatric surgery, whereas mitochondrial protein was decreased in the same tissue. Indeed, triglyceride levels positively correlated with mitophagy-related genes and negatively with mitochondrial content markers. Moreover, mitochondria content and mitophagy markers seem to be significant predictors of hypertriglyceridemia and hypertriglyceridemia remission. + + CONCLUSIONS: Mitochondrial homeostasis of adipose tissue is altered in hypertriglyceridemic patients. At the protein level, mitochondria content and mitophagy are potential markers of hypertriglyceridemia remission in obese patients after bariatric surgery. These results may contribute to the implementation of a clinical approach for personalized medicine. Copyright © The Author(s) 2022.

To improve therapeutic approaches, identification of specific molecules/biomarkers enabling early determination of this disease is needed. This study aimed at identifying, with the use of proteomics/mass spectrometry, novel OA-specific serum biomarkers. As obesity is a major risk factor for OA, we discriminated obesity-regulated proteins to target only OA-specific proteins as biomarkers. + + METHODS: Serum from the Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort was used and divided into 3 groups: controls (n=8), OA-obese (n=10) and OA-non-obese (n=10). Proteins were identified and quantified from the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analyses using MaxQuant software. Statistical analysis used the Limma test followed by the Benjamini-Hochberg method. To compare the proteomic profiles, the multivariate unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) followed by the pairwise comparison was used. To select the most predictive/discriminative features, the supervised linear classification model sparse partial least squares regression discriminant analysis (sPLS-DA) was employed. Validation of three differential proteins was performed with protein-specific assays using plasma from a cohort derived from the Newfoundland Osteoarthritis. + + RESULTS: In total, 509 proteins were identified, and 279 proteins were quantified. PCA-pairwise differential comparisons between the 3 groups revealed that 8 proteins were differentially regulated between the OA-obese and/or OA-non-obese with controls. Further experiments using the sPLS-DA revealed two components discriminating OA from controls (component 1, 9 proteins), and OA-obese from OA-non-obese (component 2, 23 proteins). Proteins from component 2 were considered related to obesity. In component 1, compared to controls, 7 proteins were significantly upregulated by both OA groups and 2 by the OA-obese. Among upregulated proteins from both OA groups, some of them alone would not be a suitable choice as specific OA biomarkers due to their rather non-specific role or their strong link to other pathological conditions. Altogether, data revealed that the protein CRTAC1 appears to be a strong OA biomarker candidate. Other potential new biomarker candidates are the proteins FBN1, VDBP, and possibly SERPINF1. Validation experiments revealed statistical differences between controls and OA for FBN1 (p=0.044) and VDPB (p=0.022), and a trend for SERPINF1 (p=0.064). + + CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that 4 proteins, CRTAC1, FBN1, VDBP, and possibly SERPINF1, warrant further investigation as potential new biomarker candidates for the whole OA population.

We investigated whether serum levels of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell 2 (sTREM2), a soluble form of the cell surface receptor TREM2, were predictive of cognitive impairment in type 2 diabetes without obesity. + + Methods: A total of 166 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes without obesity were followed-up for 2 years. We measured clinical parameters, assessed cognitive function using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), quantified and divided serum sTREM2 levels into quartiles, and examined the longitudinal associations. + + Results: During the follow-up, HbA1c levels were elevated in 98 patients and decreased in 68 patients. In the HbA1c-elevated group, higher sTREM2 levels at baseline showed a significant association with a greater tendency for reduction in MMSE scores (P for trend = 0.015), whereas they were not significantly associated with other examined parameters. In the HbA1c-decreased group, there was no significant association between sTREM2 levels at baseline and changes in MMSE scores, but higher sTREM2 levels at baseline were significantly associated with a greater tendency for reduction in waist circumference (P for trend = 0.027), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (P for trend = 0.039), and sTREM2 levels (P for trend = 0.023). + + Conclusions: Glycemic control is suggested to be important in preventing cognitive impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes without obesity. Higher serum sTREM2 levels would be a predictive marker for cognitive impairment in inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes without obesity.

A total of 47 volatile compounds were identified in BEO using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Major volatile compounds identified by olfactory testing include linalool oxide, linalool, 1-menthene, and carvone. White adipose tissue significantly decreased in the rats that inhaled 0.3% BEO (more than +10%) compared to the control. Plasma marker analysis showed increased high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (ca. double fold) and decreased low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (more than -30%) levels in inhaled 1% BEO group compared to the control. Leptin significantly decreased in the 0.3 and 1% BEO groups (more than -70 and -85%, respectively). Last, systolic blood pressure at week 12 was significantly lower in inhaled 1% BEO group (more than -15%) compared to the control. The results of this study suggest that BEO inhalation may be effective in managing plasma lipid markers (cholesterols and leptin) and possibly metabolic disorders such as obesity. Practical Application: Changes in metabolic health markers, which are effected by inhalation of volatiles in basil (Ocimum basilicum) essential oil, will provide physiological variations in vivo to the public. In this study, the opposite effects were identified between 0.3% and 1% inhalation, respectively. Therefore, our findings will provide optimized and useful guidance for inhalation of basil essential oil.

Laser biostimulation (LB) and a healthy diet have been linked to multiple health benefits. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a combined LB and balanced low-calorie diet (LCD) vs. an LCD alone on insulin resistance (IR), inflammatory biomarkers, and depression score in obese postmenopausal women. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: In the present study, a total of 66 postmenopausal women, with a mean age of 66.61 +/- 4.80 years and a body mass index (BMI) of 35.93 +/- 2.67 kg/m2, were randomized into two equal groups. The experimental group received LB and LCD (including 50-60% carbohydrates, 15-20% protein, 20-35% fat, and 25 g of fiber/day plus a restriction of 500-1000 kcal/d), while the control group followed the same diet program only for 12 weeks. Before and after the intervention, IR [measured by the Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR index)], inflammatory biomarkers [C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cells (WBCs), lymphocytes, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)], and depression level [as assessed by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17)] were all measured. + + RESULTS: Using an intention-to-treat analysis for 60 women who completed the study, the body weight average reduction was -13.14% for the experimental group (p<0.001) vs. -6.36% for the control group (p<0.001). BMI, IR, inflammatory markers, and depression levels were also similarly changed. + + CONCLUSIONS: In postmenopausal obese women, adding LB to a suitable dietary program provides the most significant benefit in terms of lowering IR, metabolic inflammation, and depression. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Our study evaluated the effects of extra-virgin olive oil alone and in combination with a traditional Brazilian diet on inflammatory markers and glycemic profiles in adults with both T2DM and class II/III obesity. + + Methods: Adults aged 18-64 years with T2DM and class II/III obesity were randomized into two intervention groups: 1) extra-virgin olive oil only and 2) extra-virgin olive oil + a traditional Brazilian diet (OliveOil+DietBra). Data on sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, anthropometry, biochemical markers and inflammatory markers were collected. The primary outcomes were glycemic parameters and inflammatory markers. The body mass index (BMI) and weight were the secondary outcomes. + + Results: Forty individuals with T2DM and class II/III obesity were enrolled, and 34 (85%) completed the intervention course. The intake of olive oil was 37.88 +/- 12.50 mL/day in the olive oil group and 37.71 +/- 12.23 mL/day in the OliveOil+DietBra group, with no significant difference between groups (p = 0.484). Compared to the olive oil only group, the OliveOil+DietBra group had significantly lower levels of fasting insulin (p = 0.047) at the end of the intervention, whereas the other glycemic parameters were not altered. In the OliveOil+DietBra group, serum levels of inflammatory cytokines, IL-1alpha (p = 0.006) and adiponectin (p = 0.049) were lower and those of TNFalpha were higher (p = 0.037). There was a significant reduction in BMI and weight compared to the baseline values in the OliveOil+DietBra group (p = 0.015). + + Conclusions: The intervention with OliveOil+DietBra effectively decreased the levels of fasting insulin, IL-1alpha and adiponectin, suggesting its beneficial role in improving the inflammatory profiles and fasting insulin levels in adults with class II/III obesity and T2DM. + + Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT02463435.

Magnesium is a cofactor that assists vitamin D metabolism. We aimed to determine the efficacy of a combined magnesium and vitamin D regimen compared with vitamin D only on increasing serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentrations and the effects of these supplements on cardiometabolic outcomes. + + METHODS: This 12-week double-blinded randomized controlled trial had three treatment arms: magnesium + vitamin D (MagD; 360 mg magnesium glycinate + 1000 IU vitamin D 3 x daily), vitamin D only (VitD; 1000 IU vitamin D 3 x daily), and placebo. A total of 95 Owt/Ob participants were randomized into one of these three study arms. Anthropometry, dietary intake, concentrations of serum 25OHD, serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), serum inflammatory markers, and blood pressure were obtained at baseline and week 12. + + RESULTS: The MagD group experienced the greatest increase in serum 25OHD concentrations (6.3 +/- 8.36 ng/mL; P < 0.05). There was a decrease in systolic blood pressure (7.5 +/- 8.26 mmHg; P < 0.05) for individuals who had a baseline systolic blood pressure of >132 mmHg in the MagD group. There were no statistically significant treatment effects on serum PTH concentrations and markers of inflammation. + + CONCLUSIONS: A combined MagD treatment may be more effective in increasing serum 25OHD concentrations compared with VitD supplementation alone in Owt/Ob individuals.

Since 1975, the prevalence of obesity has increased by 2% per decade, unabated despite new and more stringent guidelines set by WHO, CDC, and other public health organizations. Likewise, maternal obesity has also increased worldwide over the past several years. In the United States, pre-pregnancy rates have increased proportionally across all racial groups. Obesity during pregnancy has been directly linked to obstetric complications including gestational diabetes, HTN, hematomas, pre-eclampsia, and congenital defects. In the particular case of pre-eclampsia, the incidence rate across the globe is 2.16%, but the condition accounts for 30% of maternal deaths, and a robust body of evidence underscored the relationship between obesity and pre-eclampsia. More recently, attention has focused on the identification of reliable biomarkers predictive of an elevated risk for pre-eclampsia. The aim of this literature review is to elucidate the relationship between obesity and these predictive biomarkers for future prediction and prevention of pre-eclampsia condition in women at risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, problems associated with chronic pain, such as sleep disorders or obesity, may complicate the metabolome pattern. Such a complex phenotype was investigated to identify common metabolomics markers at the interface of persistent pain, sleep, and obesity in 71 men and 122 women undergoing tertiary pain care. They were examined for patterns in d = 97 metabolomic markers that segregated patients with a relatively benign pain phenotype (low and little bothersome pain) from those with more severe clinical symptoms (high pain intensity, more bothersome pain, and co-occurring problems such as sleep disturbance). Two independent lines of data analysis were pursued. First, a data-driven supervised machine learning-based approach was used to identify the most informative metabolic markers for complex phenotype assignment. This pointed primarily at adenosine monophosphate (AMP), asparagine, deoxycytidine, glucuronic acid, and propionylcarnitine, and secondarily at cysteine and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as informative for assigning patients to clinical pain phenotypes. After this, a hypothesis-driven analysis of metabolic pathways was performed, including sleep and obesity. In both the first and second line of analysis, three metabolic markers (NAD, AMP, and cysteine) were found to be relevant, including metabolic pathway analysis in obesity, associated with changes in amino acid metabolism, and sleep problems, associated with downregulated methionine metabolism. Taken together, present findings provide evidence that metabolomic changes associated with co-occurring problems may play a role in the development of severe pain. Co-occurring problems may influence each other at the metabolomic level. Because the methionine and glutathione metabolic pathways are physiologically linked, sleep problems appear to be associated with the first metabolic pathway, whereas obesity may be associated with the second. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0U46U6E8UK (NAD). 415SHH325A (Adenosine Monophosphate).

Almost 19% of children and adolescents worldwide are overweight or obese, with an upward trend in the last decades. These reports imply an increased risk of fat accumulation in hepatic cells leading to a series of histological hepatic damages gathered under the acronym NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease). Due to the complex dynamics underlying this condition, it has been recently renamed as 'Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD)', supporting the hypothesis that hepatic steatosis is a key component of the large group of clinical and laboratory abnormalities of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). This review aims to share the latest scientific knowledge on MAFLD in children in an attempt to offer novel insights into the complex dynamics underlying this condition, focusing on the novel molecular aspects. Although there is still no treatment with a proven efficacy for this condition, starting from the molecular basis of the disease, MAFLD's therapeutic landscape is rapidly expanding, and different medications seem to act as modifiers of liver steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Here, we performed a 6-week exploratory trial in adults with excess weight (BMI: 25-35 kg/m2) to compare the effects of a high-dose (females: 25 g/day; males: 35 g/day) supplement of fermentable corn bran arabinoxylan (AX; n = 15) with that of microbiota-non-accessible microcrystalline cellulose (MCC; n = 16). Obesity-related surrogate endpoints and biomarkers of host-microbiome interactions implicated in the pathophysiology of obesity (trimethylamine N-oxide, gut hormones, cytokines, and measures of intestinal barrier integrity) were assessed. We then determined whether clinical outcomes could be predicted by fecal microbiota features or mechanistic biomarkers. + + RESULTS: AX enhanced satiety after a meal and decreased homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), while MCC reduced tumor necrosis factor-alpha and fecal calprotectin. Machine learning models determined that effects on satiety could be predicted by fecal bacterial taxa that utilized AX, as identified by bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging. Reductions in HOMA-IR and calprotectin were associated with shifts in fecal bile acids, but correlations were negative, suggesting that the benefits of fiber may not be mediated by their effects on bile acid pools. Biomarkers of host-microbiome interactions often linked to bacterial metabolites derived from fiber fermentation (short-chain fatty acids) were not affected by AX supplementation when compared to non-accessible MCC. + + CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the efficacy of purified dietary fibers when used as supplements and suggests that satietogenic effects of AX may be linked to bacterial taxa that ferment the fiber or utilize breakdown products. Other effects are likely microbiome independent. The findings provide a basis for fiber-type specific therapeutic applications and their personalization. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02322112 , registered on July 3, 2015.

On the other hand, there is evidence of the role of magnesium in the leptin intracellular signaling pathway. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the existence of a relationship between serum leptin concentrations and magnesium biomarkers in women with obesity. Case-control study involving 108 women aged between 20 and 50 years, divided into two groups: obese (n = 52) and control (n = 56). Body weight, height and waist circumference, body mass index, dietary magnesium intake, magnesium biomarkers and serum leptin concentrations were measured. Serum leptin concentrations showed a statistically significant difference between groups (p < 0.001). Mean values of magnesium intake were lower than intake recommended, and with no statistically significant difference between two groups (p > 0.05). Women with obesity had lower plasma and erythrocyte magnesium concentrations than control group did (p < 0.001). Magnesium concentrations found in the urine of women with obesity were higher than the control group was, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). There was a correlation between serum leptin and magnesium biomarkers (p < 0.001). Women with obesity show an inadequate magnesium nutritional status characterized by low plasma and erythrocyte concentrations and high concentrations in urine, and they also have high serum leptin concentrations. Thus, it was possible to observe a correlation between hyperleptinemia and magnesium biomarkers, requiring further studies to determine whether the dysfunction of this hormone can influence the compartmentalization of the mineral in obese organisms.

It is the most significant risk factor for all non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Another contributing factor to the rise in NCDs is obesity. It has been suggested that obesity not only accelerates the onset of metabolic imbalances but also decreases lifespan and impacts cellular and molecular processes in a manner similar to aging. Obesity might accelerate the pace of aging. Guided by a lifecourse approach, we will explore how exposure to obesity in critical developmental stages disrupt homeostatic resilience mechanisms that preserve physiological integrity, inducing an early expression of aging phenotypes. Also, we will determine whether exposure to early psychosocial adversity influences vulnerability to obesity as a risk factor for accelerated aging. + + METHODS: Multiple events case-control study embedded in a prospective cohort of Chileans at 30-31y, 50% females, of low- to-middle socioeconomic status, who participated in nutrition research since birth. At 23y, 25% had obesity and cardiometabolic risk was high. We will use a multi-layer approach including: anthropometric assessment; DXA scan for body composition; abdominal ultrasound of the liver; stool samples collection and sequencing of the ribosomal RNA 16S gene to characterize the gut microbiome; determination of age-related pro-inflammatory cytokynes and anti-inflammatory miokynes. For the first time in Chile, we will address age-related epigenetic changes using the Horvath's epigenetic clock. In a subset we will conduct a controlled physical challenge to characterize physical resilience (autophagy). + + DISCUSSION: ObAGE is in an excellent position to: approach aging as a process whose expression involves multiple factors from the early stages of a person's life; understand how longitudinal changes in health trajectories impact the biological mechanisms of aging; identify potential resilience mechanisms that help prevent unhealthy aging. Because SLS participants are still young, our research setting combined with advanced scientific techniques may identify individuals or groups at risk of early onset health issues. Results from ObAGE may pave the way to address the contribution of obesity to aging through lifespan from cells to systems and might be instrumental to developing interventions to improve health span in the Chilean population. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: The proposed study does not consider any health care intervention on human participants.

Soluble DPP4 (dipeptidyl peptidase 4; sDPP4) secretion from visceral adipose tissue is enhanced in obesity, now considered a progeric condition. sDPP4 triggers vascular deleterious effects, albeit its contribution to vascular aging is unknown. We aimed to explore sDPP4 involvement in vascular aging, unraveling the molecular pathway by which sDPP4 acts on the endothelium. + + METHODS: Human endothelial cell senescence was assessed by senescence-associated beta-galactosidase assay, visualization of DNA damage, and expression of prosenescent markers, whereas vascular function was evaluated by myography over human dissected microvessels. In visceral adipose tissue biopsies from a cohort of obese patients, we explored several age-related parameters in vitro and ex vivo. + + RESULTS: By a common mechanism, sDPP4 triggers endothelial cell senescence and endothelial dysfunction in isolated human resistance arteries. sDPP4 activates the metabotropic receptor PAR2 (protease-activated receptor 2), COX-2 (cyclooxygenase 2) activity, and the production of TXA2 (thromboxane A2) acting over TP (thromboxane receptor) receptors (PAR2-COX-2-TP axis), leading to NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat, and pyrin domain-containing 3) inflammasome activation. Obese patients exhibited impaired microarterial functionality in comparison to control nonobese counterparts. Importantly, endothelial dysfunction in obese patients positively correlated with greater expression of DPP4, prosenescent, and proinflammatory markers in visceral adipose tissue nearby the resistance arteries. Moreover, when DPP4 activity or sDPP4-induced prosenescent mechanism was blocked, endothelial dysfunction was restored back to levels of healthy subjects. + + CONCLUSIONS: These results reveal sDPP4 as a relevant mediator in early vascular aging and highlight its capacity activating main proinflammatory mediators in the endothelium that might be pharmacologically tackled. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (F2RL1 protein, human). 0 (Inflammasomes). 0 (NLR Family, Pyrin Domain-Containing 3 Protein). 0 (NLRP3 protein, human). 0 (Receptor, PAR-2). 0 (Receptors, Thromboxane).

Anthropometric parameters were directly measured and genetically estimated, and they were used in the primary analysis and in a Mendelian randomization analysis in relation to lipid peroxidation, respectively, with general linear models. + + RESULTS: After adjusting for potential confounders, it was found that measured adult height was inversely associated with levels of F2 -IsoPs (beta = -0.89, p < 0.001) and F2 -IsoP-M (beta = -0.71, p = 0.003), whereas obesity measures were positively associated with F2 -IsoP-M (beta = 1.81, p < 0.001 for BMI; and beta = 0.77, p < 0.001 for waist circumference). Results were consistent between the two study samples. The opposite associations were further replicated when using genetically determined measures of height and obesity in the Mendelian randomization analysis. Moreover, analyses mutually adjusted for height and obesity measures suggested that these associations were independent of one another. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study, for the first time, to our knowledge, reveals that a shared biological process (lipid peroxidation) is associated with both height and obesity measures but in the opposite direction.

In recent decades, the protective role of obesity in the development of osteoporosis is questioned. The aims of this study are the following: to evaluate the differences in bone turnover markers between postmenopausal women with and without obesity and to compare the risk of fracture at five years between these groups. Methods: An observational longitudinal prospective cohort study of postmenopausal women with obesity (O) (body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2) and non-obesity (NoO) (BMI < 30 kg/m2) is designed. 250 postmenopausal women are included in the study (NoO: 124 (49.6%) and O: 126 (50.4%)). It measures epidemiological variables, dietary variables (calcium intake, vitamin D intake, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity), biochemicals (beta-crosslap, type I procollagen amino-terminal peptide (P1NP), 25OH-vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone (PTH)), anthropometric variables, and fracture data five years after the start of the study. The mean age is 56.17 (3.91) years. Women with obesity showed lower levels of vitamin D (O: 17.27 (7.85) ng/mL, NoO: 24.51 (9.60) ng/mL; p < 0.01), and higher levels of PTH (O: 53.24 (38.44-65.96) pg/mL, NoO: 35.24 (25.36-42.40) pg/mL; p < 0.01). Regarding the bone formation marker (P1NP), it was found to be high in women without obesity, O: 45.46 (34.39-55.16) ng/mL, NoO: 56.74 (45.34-70.74) ng/mL; p < 0.01; the bone resorption marker (beta-crosslap) was found to be high in women with obesity, being significant in those older than 59 years (O: 0.39 (0.14) ng/mL, NoO 0.24 (0.09) ng/mL; p < 0.05).

These metabolic characteristics have also been observed in patients with type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, steatosis or cholestasis. The number of intervention studies evaluating the effect of weight loss on these metabolic characteristics is, however, limited, while the role of the different fat compartments has not been studied into detail. In a randomized trial, abdominally obese men (N = 54) followed a 6-week very low caloric (VLCD) diet, followed by a 2 week weight-maintenance period. Non-cholesterol sterols were measured at baseline and after 8 weeks, and compared to levels in lean participants (N = 25). After weight loss, total cholesterol (TC)-standardized cholestanol levels increased by 0.18 micromol/mmol (p < 0.001), while those of campesterol and lathosterol decreased by 0.25 micromol/mmol (p < 0.05) and 0.39 micromol/mmol (p < 0.001), respectively. Moreover, after weight loss, TC-standardized lathosterol and cholestanol levels were comparable to those of lean men. Increases in TC-standardized cholestanol after weight loss were significantly associated with changes in waist circumference (p < 0.01), weight (p < 0.001), BMI (p < 0.001) and visceral fat (p < 0.01), but not with subcutaneous and intrahepatic lipids. In addition, cross-sectional analysis showed that visceral fat fully mediated the association between BMI and TC-standardized cholestanol levels. Intrahepatic lipid content was a partial mediator for the association between BMI and TC-standardized lathosterol levels. In conclusion, diet-induced weight loss decreased cholesterol synthesis and increased cholesterol absorption. The increase in TC-standardized cholestanol levels was not only related to weight loss, but also to a decrease in visceral fat volume. Whether these metabolic changes ameliorate other metabolic risk factors needs further study. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Phytosterols). 8M308U816E (Cholestanol). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Participants in the WW group (n = 27) were provided a point-based diet program, received weekly progress checks and counseling, and were encouraged to exercise. Participants in the CV group (n = 24) followed a menu-based higher protein/low-fat diet (1200 kcal/d) for 1 week; 1500 kcal/d diet for 3 weeks; and 2000-2500 kcals/d for 2 weeks that was repeated three times (except the last segment) while participating in a supervised circuit-style resistance training program (3 d/wk). A general linear model (GLM) with repeated measures was used to analyze data and are presented as mean changes from baseline (mean [UL, LL]). + + RESULTS: Supervised CV training resulted in greater amounts of vigorous and total physical activity. After 16 weeks, both groups lost weight (WW -6.1 [-7.8, -4.6], CV -4.9 [-6.2, -3.2] kg, p = 0.264). Participants in the CV group observed greater reductions in fat mass (WW -2.9 [-6.7, -0.2], CV -6.4 [-9.2, -3.6] kg, p = 0.081) and increases in lean mass (WW -2.5 [-4.3, -0.7], CV 1.3 [-0.6, 3.2] kg, p = 0.005) resulting in more favorable changes in percent body fat (WW -1.4 [-4.1, 1.2], CV -4.7 [-7.5, -1.8]%, p = 0.098). Both groups observed improvements in peak aerobic capacity and muscular endurance, although bench press lifting volume was greater in the CV group. Those in the CV group experienced a greater increase in HDLc and reduction in the CHL-HDLc ratio and triglycerides. + + CONCLUSION: Both interventions promoted weight loss and improvements in fitness and markers of health. The CV program, which included supervised resistance training and higher protein diet menus, promoted greater fat loss, increases in lean mass, and improvements in percent body fat and blood lipids. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.gov, #NCT04372771, registered retrospectively 1 May 2020. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Despite its predominance in obese individuals, MS does occur in non-obese individuals. Many individuals characterized as normal weight as per their body mass index (BMI), have increased visceral adiposity thereby leading to an unfavorable inflammatory cytokine profile and altered PON levels. There are limited studies from India concerning inflammatory cytokines in obesity and MS in general and non-obese patients with MS in particular. + + MATERIAL: Study Design: An observational cross sectional comparative study was conducted which included 65 patients in each Obese and Non-obese Metabolic Syndrome group. The difference in biomarker profile between the two groups was studied. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients were subjected to detailed history, physical and anthropometric examination. NCEP-ATP III criteria were used for the diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome. Patients were considered obese if BMI >= 25kg/m2. Normal weight individuals with MS were further subdivided into two groups based on the presence of abdominal obesity (WC cut off 90 cm for men and 80 cm for women). Blood samples were collected for analysis for FBS, Lipid Profile, and HbA1c. Blood samples for biomarker analysis were collected in clotted sample tubes followed by deep freezing and analyzed using ELISA kits. The results were interpreted according to manufacturer guidelines. + + OBSERVATION: There were no significant differences in IL-6, TNF-alpha, and PON 1 profiles among Obese and Non-obese Metabolic Syndrome. Moreover significant (p < 0.05) positive correlation was seen in TNF-alpha levels among patients with abdominal obesity than without abdominal obesity among the Non-obese group. + + CONCLUSION: TNF-alpha levels were significantly higher among patients with abdominal obesity than without abdominal obesity among the Non-obese group. There was no significant difference in IL-6, TNF-alpha, and PON 1 among Obese and Non-obese MS. This finding indicates that apart from adipose tissue, other factors are also responsible for the development of MS and its associated proinflammatory profile. There could be a significant contribution of genetic and epigenetic factors which need to be further explored.

However, no study has compared the relative contribution of these markers to cardiometabolic risk in women of varying age and adiposity. Body composition, regional AT distribution, lipid-lipoprotein profile, glucose homeostasis and plasma A and L levels were determined in 67 women (age: 40-62 years; BMI: 17-41 kg/m2). Expression of macrophage infiltration marker CD68 and adipocyte size were measured from subcutaneous abdominal (SCABD) and omental (OME) fat. AT dysfunction markers correlated with most lipid-lipoprotein levels. The A/L ratio was negatively associated with fasting insulinemia and HOMA-IR, while SCABD or OME adipocyte size and SCABD CD68 expression were positively related to these variables. Combination of tertiles of largest adipocyte size and lowest A/L ratio showed the highest HOMA-IR. Multiple regression analyses including these markers and TAG levels revealed that the A/L ratio was the only predictor of fasting insulinemia and HOMA-IR. The contribution of the A/L ratio was superseded by adipose cell size in the model where the latter replaced TAGs. Finally, leptinemia was a better predictor of IR than adipocyte size and the A/L ratio in our participants sample. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Lipoproteins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Participants were grouped according to their glycemic states. Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline regression were used to explore the association between TyG index and diabetes. Cox proportional hazard models were applied to confirm the predictive value of the optimal marker. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to compare the predictive value. + + Results: TyG index was positively correlated with the risk of diabetes (hazard ratio (HR), 1.75; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.56-1.97), and the linear association existed (p < 0.001). The highest correlation with diabetes was visceral adiposity index (VAI) (HR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.44-2.90) in normal fasting glucose (NFG) group and TyG-body mass index (TyG-BMI) (HR, 2.53; 95% CI, 1.97-3.26) in impaired fasting glucose (IFG) group. The largest area under curve (AUC) was observed in TyG-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR) in the NFG group (AUC, 0.613; 95% CI, 0.527-0.700), and TyG-BMI had the highest AUC in the IFG group (AUC, 0.643; 95% CI, 0.601-0.685). + + Conclusion: The association between TyG index and new-onset diabetes was positive and linear. TyG-WHtR was a clinically effective marker for identifying the risks of diabetes in the NFG group and TyG-BMI was an effective marker to predict diabetes in the IFG group.

While Russia has one of the highest levels of CVD mortality in the world, the literature on contemporary socio-economic inequalities in biomarker CVD risk factors is sparse. This paper aims to assess the extent and the direction of SEP inequalities in established physiological CVD risk biomarkers, and to explore the role of lifestyle factors in explaining SEP inequalities in physiological CVD risk biomarkers. + + METHODS: We used cross-sectional data from a general population-based survey of Russians aged 35-69 years living in two cities (n = 4540, Know Your Heart study 2015-18). Logistic models were used to assess the associations between raised physiological risk biomarkers levels (blood pressure levels, cholesterol levels, triglycerides, HbA1C, and C-reactive protein) and socioeconomic position (SEP) (education and household financial constraints) adjusting for age, obesity, smoking, alcohol and health-care seeking behavior. + + RESULTS: High education was negatively associated with a raised risk of blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and C-reactive protein for both men and women. High education was positively associated with total cholesterol, with higher HDL levels among women, and with low triglycerides and HbA1c levels among men. For the remaining risk biomarkers, we found little statistical support for SEP inequalities. Adjustment for lifestyle factors, and particularly BMI and waist-hip ratio, led to a reduction in the observed SEP inequalities in raised biomarkers risk levels, especially among women. High financial constraints were weakly associated with high risk biomarkers levels, except for strong evidence for an association with C-reactive protein (men). + + CONCLUSIONS: Notable differences in risk biomarkers inequalities were observed according to the SEP measure employed. Clear educational inequalities in raised physiological risk biomarkers levels, particularly in blood pressure and C-reactive protein were seen in Russia and are partly explained by lifestyle factors, particularly obesity among women. These findings provide evidence-based information on the need for tackling health inequalities in the Russian population, which may help to further contribute to CVD mortality decline.

Diets with increased protein content are reported to increase bone turnover in healthy adults and may be a point of interest in preserving bone strength in subjects with abdominal obesity and/or type-2 diabetes. + + Methods: We examined the effect of 12-weeks dietary intervention on bone turnover in 64 adults with abdominal obesity using data from the MERITS trial. The trial was a randomized, controlled, double blinded study in which participants were allocated to receive either 60 g/d of whey protein hydrolysate or maltodextrin in combination with either high (30 g/d) or low dietary fiber intake (10 g/d). Primarily, we assessed changes in plasma markers of bone turnover Procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (p1NP), C-terminal telopeptide type-1 collagen (CTX), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) within the four intervention groups. In addition, we measured u-calcium and u-carbamide excretion, 25(OH)D, and BMD by whole body DXA scans. Finally, we compared changes in insulin resistance (Homeostasis-model assessment of insulin resistance, HOMA-IR) with changes in bone turnover markers. The trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02931630. + + Results: Sixty-four subjects were included in the study. We did not find any effect of twelve weeks of high protein or high fiber intake on plasma levels of P1NP or CTX. There was a nonsignificant positive association between protein intake and PTH levels (p=0.06). U-calcium and u-carbamide increased in both protein groups. There was a positive association between change in HOMA-IR and PTH (p=0.042), while changes in P1NP and CTX did not associate to changes in HOMA-IR. + + Conclusion: Twelve weeks of increased whey protein intake in subjects with abdominal obesity did not affect markers of bone turnover significantly, although tended to increase PTH levels. Dietary fiber intake did not affect bone turnover. We report a positive association between change in HOMA-IR and PTH supporting a hypothesis of insulin resistance as a potential key factor in the expanding field of bone fragility in T2D subjects.

Although there is accumulating evidence for a disease-related dysregulation of blood flow during exercise in this patient group, the role of obesity in the hemodynamic response to exercise remains largely unknown. Small muscle mass handgrip (HG) exercise was used to evaluate exercising muscle blood flow in nonobese (BMI < 30 kg/m2, n = 14) and obese (BMI > 30 kg/m2, n = 40) patients with HFpEF. Heart rate (HR), stroke index (SI), cardiac index (CI), mean arterial pressure (MAP), forearm blood flow (FBF), and vascular conductance (FVC) were assessed during progressive intermittent HG exercise [15%-30%-45% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)]. Blood biomarkers of inflammation [C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)] were also determined. Exercising FBF was reduced in obese patients with HFpEF at all work rates (15%: 304 +/- 42 vs. 229 +/- 15 mL/min; 30%: 402 +/- 46 vs. 300 +/- 18 mL/min; 45%: 484 +/- 55 vs. 380 +/- 23 mL/min, nonobese vs. obese, P = 0.025), and was negatively correlated with BMI (R = -0.47, P < 0.01). In contrast, no differences in central hemodynamics (HR, SI, CI, and MAP) were found between groups. Proinflammatory biomarkers were markedly elevated in patients with obesity (CRP: 2,133 +/- 418 vs. 4,630 +/- 590 ng/mL, P = 0.02; IL-6: 2.9 +/- 0.3 vs. 5.2 +/- 0.7 pg/mL, nonobese vs. obese, P = 0.04), and both biomarkers were positively correlated with BMI (CRP: R = 0.40, P = 0.03; IL-6: R = 0.57, P < 0.01). Together, these findings demonstrate the presence of obesity and an accompanying milieu of systemic inflammation as important factors in the dysregulation of exercising muscle blood flow in patients with HFpEF. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Obesity is the primary comorbid condition in HFpEF pathophysiology, but the role of adiposity on the peripheral circulation is not well understood. The present study identified a 30%-40% reduction in forearm blood flow during handgrip exercise, accompanied by a marked elevation in proinflammatory plasma biomarkers, in obese patients with HFpEF compared with their nonobese counterparts. These findings suggest an exaggerated dysregulation in exercising muscle blood flow associated with the obese HFpEF phenotype. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-6). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The NAFLD spectrum ranges from simple steatosis (early stages, known as NAFL) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, which can progress to fibrosis and cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Obesity, type 2 diabetes and NAFLD are strongly associated with insulin resistance. In the liver, insulin resistance increases hepatic glucose output, lipogenesis and very-low-density lipoprotein secretion, leading to a combination of hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Aberrant gene expression is a hallmark of insulin resistance. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as prominent regulators of gene expression that operate at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional and post-translational levels. In the last couple of decades, a wealth of studies have provided evidence that most processes of liver metabolism are orchestrated by ncRNAs. This review focuses on the role of microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs and circular RNAs as coordinators of hepatic function, as well as the current understanding on how their dysregulation contributes to abnormal metabolism and pathophysiology in animal models of insulin resistance and NAFLD. Moreover, ncRNAs are emerging as useful biomarkers that may be able to discriminate between the different stages of NAFLD. The potential of ncRNAs as therapeutic drugs for NAFLD treatment and as biomarkers is discussed. Copyright © The Author(s) 2022. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.

The present clinical trial was carried out on 40 overweight/obese women with NAFLD. The patients were randomly allocated into either the "HCA group" (receiving calorie-restricted diet (-700 kcal d-1) accompanied by HCA tablets) and the "control group" (receiving only calorie-restricted diet) for eight weeks. Weight, height, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) were measured. Fasting blood sugar (FBS), lipid profile, liver enzymes, as well as inflammatory biomarkers were determined at baseline and after the intervention. Dietary intake was assessed at baseline and at the end of the trial and food intake data were analyzed by the Nutritionist IV software. Results showed a decrease in energy and macronutrient intake in both groups (p < 0.05). Weight, BMI, WC, and hip circumference as well as FBS, triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) decreased and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) increased significantly in the HCA group (p < 0.05). There were also significant reductions in WC, FBS, TG, total cholesterol, LDL-C in the control group while inter-group changes in FBS, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C were statistically significant. Although atherogenic indices reduced significantly in both groups, inter-group comparison revealed that the HCA group showed greater decrease in the TG/HDL-C ratio than the control group (p = 0.004). Other atherogenic indices including TC/HDL-C and non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio showed greater reduction in the control versus HCA group (p < 0.01). Some inflammatory factors were reduced in the HCA group; however, no significant within- or between-group differences were revealed post-intervention. Our results indicated that HCA supplementation plus calorie-restricted diet could improve some metabolic factors without any significant effect on inflammation in patients with NAFLD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). 0 (Hydroxy Acids). 0 (Triglycerides). 2968PHW8QP (Citric Acid). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We conducted a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled crossover trial (NCT03582306) in individuals with a BMI greater than 30 kg/m2 and high habitual red meat intake and low habitual green leafy vegetable (GLV) intake. + + METHODS: Participants were provided with frozen GLV during the first or last four weeks (immediate or delayed intervention) of the twelve-week trial. Biological and anthropometric measures were taken at the beginning and at each four-week interval. A subset of 20 participants was selected for this secondary analysis of the intestinal permeability and inflammation-related biomarkers: serum and fecal zonulin; serum lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein; 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG) and plasma Vitamin K1 as a marker of protocol adherence. Nutrient and food group intake from two-24-h dietary recalls collected at each time point were assessed. Fecal microbiota was measured by 16 s rRNA PCR sequencing. Changes in biological markers, dietary factors, and microbial taxa were assessed with Wilcoxon Sign Ranks Tests. Exploratory analyses of the relationship between changes in outcome variables were conducted with Spearman correlations. + + RESULTS: No changes in serum and fecal zonulin and serum LBP were observed. Plasma Vitamin K (p = 0.005) increased, while plasma 8OHdG (p = 0.023) decreased during the intervention compared to the control. The only dietary factors that changed significantly were increases during intervention in Vitamin K and Dark GLV (p < 0.001 for both) compared to control. Fecal microbiota did not change significantly across all times points; however, change in serum zonulin was associated with change in Proteobacteria (rho = - 0.867, p = 0.001) in females and Bifidobacterium (rho = - 0.838, p = 0.009) and Bacteroidaceae (rho = 0.871, p = 0.005) in men. + + CONCLUSIONS: A high GLV dietary intervention increased serum zonulin levels and had no effect on fecal zonulin. Lack of concordance between several inflammation-associated biomarkers and zonulin corroborate recent reports of limited utility of zonulin in obese adults free of lower gastrointestinal disease.

Serum fibroblast growth factor 21 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. + + RESULTS: Higher fibroblast growth factor 21 serum levels were observed in patients with prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. There were significant correlations between fibroblast growth factor 21 and waist-to-stature ratio, visceral adiposity index, triglycerides, very low-density lipoproteins, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index, and Stumvoll index of insulin sensitivity. Fibroblast growth factor 21 level >=320 pg/mL was associated with a 4.2-fold higher risk of prediabetes and >=270 pg/mL for metabolic syndrome approximately 4 times. + + CONCLUSION: Fibroblast growth factor 21 is associated with increased risk for prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance in obese patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (FGF21 protein, human). 0 (fibroblast growth factor 21). 62031-54-3 (Fibroblast Growth Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.5152%2ftjg.2021.201165 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Karamfilova&issn=1300-4948&title=Turkish+Journal+of+Gastroenterology&atitle=Fibroblast+Growth+Factor+21+as+a+Marker+of+Prediabetes+in+Patients+with+Non-alcoholic+Fatty+Liver+Disease.&volume=33&issue=3&spage=233&epage=239&date=2022&doi=10.5152%2Ftjg.2021.201165&pmid=35410857&sid=OVID:medline + +<522> +Unique Identifier + 35409324 +Title + Meta-Inflammation and De Novo Lipogenesis Markers Are Involved in Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease Progression in BTBR ob/ob Mice. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 23(7), 2022 Apr 02. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Opazo-Rios L; Soto-Catalan M; Lazaro I; Sala-Vila A; Jimenez-Castilla L; Orejudo M; Moreno JA; Egido J; Mas-Fontao S +Author NameID + Opazo-Rios, Lucas; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3586-3319 + Soto-Catalan, Manuel; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3500-4637 + Lazaro, Iolanda; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6172-9845 + Sala-Vila, Aleix; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5038-2794 + Moreno, Juan Antonio; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7468-2871 + Mas-Fontao, Sebastian; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6604-3327 +Authors Full Name + Opazo-Rios, Lucas; Soto-Catalan, Manuel; Lazaro, Iolanda; Sala-Vila, Aleix; Jimenez-Castilla, Luna; Orejudo, Macarena; Moreno, Juan Antonio; Egido, Jesus; Mas-Fontao, Sebastian. +Institution + Opazo-Rios, Lucas.

Our aim is to characterize the pathophysiological mechanism involved in MAFLD development in Black Tan and brachyuric (BTBR) insulin-resistant mice in combination with leptin deficiency (ob/ob). We studied liver morphology and biochemistry on our diabetic and obese mice model (BTBR ob/ob) as well as a diabetic non-obese control (BTBR + streptozotocin) and non-diabetic control mice (BTBR wild type) from 4-22 weeks. Lipid composition was assessed, and lipid related pathways were studied at transcriptional and protein level. Microvesicular steatosis was evident in BTBR ob/ob from week 6, progressing to macrovesicular in the following weeks. At 12th week, inflammatory clusters, activation of STAT3 and Nrf2 signaling pathways, and hepatocellular ballooning. At 22 weeks, the histopathological features previously observed were maintained and no signs of fibrosis were detected. Lipidomic analysis showed profiles associated with de novo lipogenesis (DNL). BTBR ob/ob mice develop MAFLD profile that resemble pathological features observed in humans, with overactivation of inflammatory response, oxidative stress and DNL signaling pathways. Therefore, BTBR ob/ob mouse is an excellent model for the study of the steatosis to steatohepatitis transition. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fijms23073965 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Opazo-Rios&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Meta-Inflammation+and+De+Novo+Lipogenesis+Markers+Are+Involved+in+Metabolic+Associated+Fatty+Liver+Disease+Progression+in+BTBR+ob%2Fob+Mice.&volume=23&issue=7&spage=3965&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fijms23073965&pmid=35409324&sid=OVID:medline + +<523> +Unique Identifier + 35409168 +Title + A Wide-Proteome Analysis to Identify Molecular Pathways Involved in Kidney Response to High-Fat Diet in Mice. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 23(7), 2022 Mar 30. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Dozio E; Maffioli E; Vianello E; Nonnis S; Grassi Scalvini F; Spatola L; Roccabianca P; Tedeschi G; Corsi Romanelli MM +Author NameID + Dozio, Elena; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5833-0780 + Maffioli, Elisa; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5539-1825 + Nonnis, Simona; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3453-7282 + Spatola, Leonardo; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8883-4776 + Roccabianca, Paola; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3672-4612 + Corsi Romanelli, Massimiliano Marco; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7928-7697 +Authors Full Name + Dozio, Elena; Maffioli, Elisa; Vianello, Elena; Nonnis, Simona; Grassi Scalvini, Francesca; Spatola, Leonardo; Roccabianca, Paola; Tedeschi, Gabriella; Corsi Romanelli, Massimiliano Marco. +Institution + Dozio, Elena.

To this aim, we assessed the effect of high-fat diet (HF) on molecular pathways leading to organ damage, steatosis, and fibrosis. Six-week-old male C57BL/6N mice were fed HF diet or normal chow for 20 weeks. Kidneys were collected for genomic, proteomic, histological studies, and lipid quantification. The main findings were as follows: (1) HF diet activated specific pathways leading to fibrosis and increased fatty acid metabolism; (2) HF diet promoted a metabolic shift of lipid metabolism from peroxisomes to mitochondria; (3) no signs of lipid accumulation and/or fibrosis were observed, histologically; (4) the early signs of kidney damage seemed to be related to changes in membrane protein expression; (5) the proto-oncogene MYC was one of the upstream transcriptional regulators of changes occurring in protein expression. These results demonstrated the potential usefulness of specific selected molecules as early markers of renal injury in HF, while histomorphological changes become visible later in obesity-related CDK. The integration of these information with data from biological fluids could help the identification of biomarkers useful for the early detection and prevention of tissue damage in clinical practice. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Proteome). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fijms23073809 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Dozio&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=A+Wide-Proteome+Analysis+to+Identify+Molecular+Pathways+Involved+in+Kidney+Response+to+High-Fat+Diet+in+Mice.&volume=23&issue=7&spage=3809&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fijms23073809&pmid=35409168&sid=OVID:medline + +<524> +Unique Identifier + 35409085 +Title + Sprague Dawley Rats Show More Severe Bone Loss, Osteophytosis and Inflammation Compared toWistar Han Rats in a High-Fat, High-Sucrose Diet Model of Joint Damage. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 23(7), 2022 Mar 28. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Warmink K; Rios JL; van Valkengoed DR; Korthagen NM; Weinans H +Author NameID + Warmink, Kelly; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4131-675X + Rios, Jaqueline L; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3679-2869 + Korthagen, Nicoline M; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9277-0795 + Weinans, Harrie; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2275-6170 +Authors Full Name + Warmink, Kelly; Rios, Jaqueline L; van Valkengoed, Devin R; Korthagen, Nicoline M; Weinans, Harrie. +Institution + Warmink, Kelly.

In this study, we compare joint damage in Sprague Dawley and Wistar-Han rats in response to a high-fat, high-sucrose (HFS) diet groove model of osteoarthritis (OA). Wistar Han (n = 5) and Sprague Dawley (n = 5) rats were fed an HFS diet for 24 weeks. OA was induced 12 weeks after the diet onset by groove surgery in the right knee joint. The left knee served as a control. Outcomes were OARSI histopathology scoring, bone changes by microCT imaging, local (synovial and fat pad) and systemic (blood cytokine) inflammation markers. In both rat strains, the HFS diet resulted in a similar change in metabolic parameters, but only Sprague Dawley rats showed a large, osteoporosis-like decrease in trabecular bone volume. Osteophyte count and local joint inflammation were higher in Sprague Dawley rats. In contrast, cartilage degeneration and systemic inflammatory marker levels were similar between the rat strains. The difference in bone volume loss, osteophytosis and local inflammation suggest that both rat strains show a different joint damage phenotype and could, therefore, potentially represent different OA phenotypes observed in humans. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 57-50-1 (Sucrose). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med22&DO=10.3390%2fijms23073725 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Warmink&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Sprague+Dawley+Rats+Show+More+Severe+Bone+Loss%2C+Osteophytosis+and+Inflammation+Compared+toWistar+Han+Rats+in+a+High-Fat%2C+High-Sucrose+Diet+Model+of+Joint+Damage.&volume=23&issue=7&spage=3725&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fijms23073725&pmid=35409085&sid=OVID:medline + +<525> +Unique Identifier + 35406052 +Title + Changes in Kidney Fat upon Dietary-Induced Weight Loss. +Source + Nutrients. 14(7), 2022 Mar 30. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Spurny M; Jiang Y; Sowah SA; Nonnenmacher T; Schubel R; Kirsten R; Johnson T; von Stackelberg O; Ulrich CM; Kaaks R; Kauczor HU; Kuhn T; Nattenmuller J +Author NameID + Jiang, Yixin; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8504-0500 + Kauczor, Hans-Ulrich; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6730-9462 +Authors Full Name + Spurny, Manuela; Jiang, Yixin; Sowah, Solomon A; Nonnenmacher, Tobias; Schubel, Ruth; Kirsten, Romy; Johnson, Theron; von Stackelberg, Oyunbileg; Ulrich, Cornelia M; Kaaks, Rudolf; Kauczor, Hans-Ulrich; Kuhn, Tilman; Nattenmuller, Johanna. +Institution + Spurny, Manuela.

Kidney sinus (KSF) and cortex fat (KCF) were measured by magnetic resonance imaging at baseline, week 12 and week 50. Weight loss effects on KFC were evaluated by linear mixed models. Repeated measures correlations between KFC, other body fat measures and metabolic biomarkers were obtained. KSF, but not KCF, decreased significantly across weight loss quartiles at week 12 (quartile 4: -21.3%; p = 0.02) and 50 (-22.0%, p = 0.001), which remained significant after adjusting for VAT. There were smaller improvements regarding creatinine (-2.5%, p = 0.02) at week 12, but not week 50. KSF, but not KCF, correlated with visceral (rrm = 0.38) and subcutaneous fat volumes (rrm = 0.31) and liver fat content (rrm = 0.32), as well as diastolic blood pressure and biomarkers of lipid, glucose and liver metabolism. Dietary weight loss is associated with decreases in KSF, but not KCF, which suggests that KSF may be the metabolically relevant ectopic fat depot of the kidney. KSF may be targeted for obesity-related disease prevention. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Clinical Trial.

In this case-control study, we recruited 105 patients with HS and 104 without HS (controls). HS was diagnosed through ultrasound examination. VOB was measured using a whole-body analyzer. MDN intake was assessed using a validated quantitative food frequency questionnaire. After adjustment for multiple HS risk factors, total choline intake was the most significant dietary determinant of HS in patients with VOB (Beta: -0.41, p = 0.01). Low intake of choline (<6.9 mg/kg body weight), betaine (<3.1 mg/kg body weight), and folate (<8.8 mug/kg body weight) predicted increased odds ratios (ORs) of VOB-related HS (choline: OR: 22, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.5-80; betaine: OR: 14, 95% CI: 4.4-50; and folate: OR: 19, 95% CI: 5.2-74). Combined high intake of choline and betaine, but not folate, was associated with an 81% reduction in VOB-related HS (OR: 0.19, 95% CI: 0.05-0.69). Our data suggest that the optimal intake of choline and betaine can minimize the risk of VOB-related HS in a threshold-dependent manner. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 3SCV180C9W (Betaine). 935E97BOY8 (Folic Acid).

Randomized controlled trial (RCT) data indicate humans respond to changes in energy intake in single dietary components and compensate for extra energy consumed. + + OBJECTIVES: We completed an RCT testing whether increased daily potato consumption influences energy balance [specifically, fat mass (FM)] compared with calorie-matched almond consumption. + + METHODS: A 30-d RCT of 180 adults prescribed calorie-matched (300 kcal/d, n = 60 participants/group) than consumed 1 of the following: 1) almonds (almond group), 2) French fries (potato group), or 3) French fries with herb/spices mix (potato + herb/spices group). Baseline and 30-d FM were measured by DXA (primary outcome), with secondary outcomes including body weight and carbohydrate metabolism markers [glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose and insulin, HOMA-IR)]. A subset of 5 participants/group participated in a postprandial meal-based tolerance test. + + RESULTS: A total of 180 participants were randomly assigned [gender: 67.8% female; mean +/- SD age: 30.4 +/- 8.7 y; BMI (in kg/m2): 26.1 +/- 4.2; and weight: 75.6 +/- 15.4 kg], with 12 dropouts and 3 terminations. No significantly different FM changes were observed between almond and potato consumption [combined +/- herb/spices; mean +/- SE almond: 230.87 +/- 114.01 g; potato: 123.73 +/- 86.09 g; P = 0.443], fasting glucose (P = 0.985), insulin (P = 0.082), HOMA-IR (P = 0.080), or HbA1c (P = 0.269). Body weight change was not significantly different in the potato groups combined compared with the almond group (P = 0.116), but was significantly different among the 3 groups (P = 0.014; almond: 0.49 +/- 0.20 kg; potato: -0.24 +/- 0.20 kg; potato + herb/spices: 0.47 +/- 0.21 kg). In meal tests, significantly lower post-prandial glucose and insulin responses to almonds compared with potatoes were observed (P = 0.046, P = 0.006, respectively), with potato + herb/spices having intermediate effects. + + CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in FM or in glucoregulatory biomarkers after 30 d of potato consumption compared with almonds. Results do not support a causal relation between increased French fried potato consumption and the negative health outcomes studied. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03518515.

In the subcohort the observational and genetic associations of BMI with biomarkers were assessed using linear regression, with adjustment for multiple testing. Cox regression was used to estimate adjusted HRs for NAFLD associated with biomarkers. + + RESULTS: In observational analyses, BMI (kg/m2; mean: 23.9 in the subcohort) was associated with 199 metabolites at a 5% false discovery rate. The effects of genetically elevated BMI with specific metabolites were directionally consistent with the observational associations. Overall, 35 metabolites were associated with NAFLD risk, of which 15 were also associated with BMI, including glutamate (HR per 1-SD higher metabolite: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.48, 2.56), cysteine-glutathione disulfide (0.44; 0.31, 0.62), diaclyglycerol (C32:1) (1.71; 1.24, 2.35), behenoyl dihydrosphingomyelin (C40:0) (1.92; 1.42, 2.59), butyrylcarnitine (C4) (1.91; 1.38, 2.35), 2-hydroxybehenate (1.81; 1.34, 2.45), and 4-cholesten-3-one (1.79; 1.27, 2.54). The discriminatory performance of known risk factors was increased when 28 metabolites were also considered simultaneously in the model (weighted C-statistic: 0.84 to 0.90; P < 0.001). + + CONCLUSIONS: Among relatively lean Chinese adults, a range of metabolomic biomarkers are associated with NAFLD risk and these biomarkers may lie on the pathway between adiposity and NAFLD.

After adjusting for maternal age, and child age, sex and pubertal status, children whose mothers were in the fourth v. first quartile of total CHO intake during the third trimester had 0.42 (95 % CI -0.01, 0.08) ng/ml lower C-peptide and 0.10 (95 % CI -0.02, 0.22) units lower C-peptide insulin resistance (CP-IR). We found similar magnitude and direction of association with respect to net CHO intake during the first trimester and offspring C-peptide and CP-IR. Maternal CHO intake during pregnancy was not associated with offspring adiposity. + + CONCLUSIONS: In this study of mother-child pairs in Mexico City, children born to women in the highest quartile of CHO intake during pregnancy had lowest C-peptide and CP-IR during peripuberty.

Leptin is an adipokine involved in regulating energy balance with a possible role in the development of obesity-associated cancers, but its relationship with other pathways in pancreatic carcinogenesis has not been established yet. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the involvement of leptin and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) in the survival of overweight and/or diabetic patients with PDAC. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 112 patients were included, 56 diagnosed with PDAC and 56 age and sex-matched healthy controls, with a maximum follow-up of 24-months. The circulating leptin, interleukin 1-beta, tumor factor necrosis-alpha, and PI3K were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A multivariate Cox regression model was used to determine the factors influencing survival. + + RESULTS: The serum levels of leptin [38.5 (31.6-47.0) pg/ml] and other cytokines in PDAC patients were similar to controls, irrespective of the presence of diabetes. No significant correlation between the biomarkers was found. In obese and overweight patients, the leptin level and survival rate were lower than in non-obese patients. + + CONCLUSIONS: The leptin level was not associated with the presence of PDAC, although it was lower in obese and overweight patients who had lower survival. No association with inflammatory biomarkers or PI3K was noted. Furthermore, leptin levels had no independent role in survival, suggesting that the prognostic role of obesity in PDAC is based on a different pathway. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Biomarkers, Tumor). 0 (Leptin).

The aim of this investigation was to quantify the effects of folate supplementation on the recurrence and other metabolic factors of women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 (CIN2/3). + + METHODS: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed among 60 overweight/obese women with CIN2/3. Definitive CIN2/3 confirmation was done via biopsy, pathological diagnosis, as well as colposcopy. Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group to take 5 mg/day folate supplements or placebo group (n = 30 in each group) for 12 weeks. + + RESULTS: The results of the current study showed a non-significant decrease in recurrence of CIN2/3 in the folate group in comparison with the placebo group (3.3% vs. 16.7%, P = 0.08). Compared with the placebo, folate supplementation significantly decreased plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels (P < 0.001), serum insulin values (in the crude model) (P = 0.01), and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (P = 0.01). Also, folate supplementation resulted in a significant improvement in the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (P = 0.002) and total antioxidant capacity (P = 0.04) and a significant reduction in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (P = 0.015) in comparison with the placebo group. + + CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, folate supplementation for 12 weeks among overweight/obese women with CIN2/3 showed a non-significant decrease in its recurrence and had beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and oxidative stress markers.

This study aimed to explore the proteomic and cardiometabolic effects of commonly consumed seed oils in the UK, with different fatty acid profiles. + + METHODS: In a parallel randomised control design, healthy adults (n = 84), aged 25-72 with overweight or obesity were randomised to one of three groups: control (habitual diet, CON); 20 mL rapeseed oil per day (RO), or 20 mL sunflower oil per day (SO). Blood, spot urine and anthropometric measures were obtained at 0, 6 and 12 weeks. Proteomic biomarkers analysis was conducted for coronary arterial disease (CAD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) using capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry (CE-MS). Blood lipids, fasting blood glucose, glycative/oxidative stress and inflammatory markers were also analysed. + + RESULTS: No differences in change between time points were observed between groups for CAD or CKD peptide fingerprint scores. No change was detected within groups for CAD or CKD scores. No detectable differences were observed between groups at week 6 or 12 for the secondary outcomes, except median 8-isoprostane, ~ 50% higher in the SO group after 12-weeks compared to RO and CON groups (p = 0.03). + + CONCLUSION: The replacement of habitual fat with either RO or SO for 12 weeks does not lead to an improvement or worsening in cardiovascular health markers in people with overweight or obesity. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: Trial registration clinicaltrials.gov NCT04867629, retrospectively registered 30/04/2021.

Also, pro-inflammatory diets with a high E-DII have been positively associated with metabolic disturbances such as glucose intolerance and type II diabetes mellitus. However, it is unclear whether E-DII scores are positively associated with body fat percentage and visceral fat per se. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate whether the E-DII is associated with body fat content and metabolic health indicators in lean and obese young men. + + METHODS: The present study was conducted on 59 participants, without comorbidities, not using tobacco, medication and nutritional supplements. Dietary data were obtained by 3-day food records to calculate E-DII scores based on 28 food parameters. Body composition was assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Blood samples were taken to measure fasting glucose, insulin, triacylglycerols, total cholesterol, and low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. An oral glucose tolerance test also was performed. Associations were determined by mixed-effects linear regression. + + RESULTS: E-DII scores ranged from -3.48 to +3.10. Energy intake was similar across E-DII tertiles. After adjusting for covariates, the highest E-DII tertile was associated with increased body fat, visceral adipose tissue and waist circumference. There was no association between E-DII scores and glycaemic parameters. + + CONCLUSIONS: In young participants, a dietary pattern with a higher E-DII (i.e., pro-inflammatory) score was associated with high body fat and markers of central adiposity assessed by DXA, regardless of body mass.

Asprosin, visfatin, and subfatin are new members of which fate in MetS and obesity has not been fully revealed yet. Thus, this study was to investigate the association between asprosin, visfatin, subfatin, and biochemical values, demographic data, and body composition measurement values in MetS patients with and without obesity. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: Blood samples were taken from a total of 90 people, including 31 MetS patients with obesity, 29 MetS patients without obesity, and 30 healthy (control). Asprosin, visfatin, and subfatin were studied by the ELISA method. + + RESULTS: There was a negative correlation between asprosin and Body Mass Index (BMI) in the MetS + Obese group. The correlations between asprosin and urea and fasting insulin (FI) levels in the MetS group were positive and statistically significant (p < 0.05). While there was a statistically significant negative correlation (p < 0.05) between visfatin and BMI in the MetS + Obese group, the correlation with waist circumference in the MetS + Obese and MetS groups was statistically significant and negative (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant negative relationship (p < 0.05) between aspartate aminotransferase value and visfatin. The results between visfatin values and asprosin and subfatin in all groups were significant (p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: There is a direct relationship between circulating amounts of asprosin, visfatin, and subfatin hormones and age, weight, height, diastolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase, and creatinine. Therefore, asprosin, visfatin, and subfatin hormones are the new biomarkers of metabolic turbulence. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

The current study aims to examine whether a personalised nutritional plan produces more favourable health outcomes than a standard approach based on general dietary recommendations in subjects with overweight or obesity and elevated waist circumference. + + METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This project is a 10-week parallel, double-blinded randomised intervention trial. We plan to include 100 adults aged 18-65 years interested in losing weight, with body mass index >=27 but<40 kg/m2 and elevated waist circumference (males >94 cm; females >80 cm). Participants will be categorised into one of five predefined 'clusters' based on their individual metabolic biomarker profile and genetic background, and will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to one of two groups: (1) personalised plan group that will receive cluster-specific meals every day for 6 days a week, in conjunction with a personalised behavioural change programme via electronic push notifications; or (2) control group that will receive meals following the general dietary recommendations in conjunction with generic health behaviour prompts. The primary outcome is the difference between groups (personalised vs control) in the change in fat mass from baseline. Secondary outcomes include changes in weight and body composition, fasting blood glucose and insulin, lipid profile, adipokines, inflammatory biomarkers, and blood pressure. Other outcomes involve measures of physical activity and sleep patterns, health-related quality of life, dietary intake, eating behaviour, and biomarkers of food intake. The effect of the intervention on the primary outcome will be analysed by means of linear mixed models. + + ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Capital Region, Copenhagen, Denmark. Study findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations and media outlets. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04590989.

We enrolled 80 patients, 40 pregnant women with GDM and 40 healthy pregnant women at midgestation. The women's anthropometric measurements were recorded and serum markers and IL-6, IL-27 were analysed. At the time of delivery maternal, neonatal results were recorded. Women with GDM had significantly higher pregestational, midgestational and prepartum BMI and midgestational BRI; HOMA-IR; HbA1c; and IL-6 values and lower HDL values (p < .05). There was no statistically significant difference in IL-27 values between the groups (p = .939). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, HbA1c, IL-6 (>4.886 pg/mL), and BRI (>6.708) were found as independent risk factors associated with GDM (p < .05). Mean BRI was significantly associated with obesity (p < .001) and BRI higher than 6.708 was found to have 67.5% sensitivity and 80% specificity in the prediction of GDM. Women with GDM had elevated IL-6 levels, but no relationship was detected between IL-27 and GDM. BRI is a new anthropometric index that strongly correlated with BMI and seems to be a reliable alternative to BMI for the evaluation of obesity in GDM patients.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat's already known on this subject? Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common systemic disease in pregnancy. The risk of GDM was 3 times higher in obese pregnant women compared to normal weighted patients. IL-6 is an adipose-derived cytokine that was found to be associated with GDM. The body roundness index (BRI) is a new sensitive anthropometric index for detecting obesity and its secondary cardiometabolic results. What do the results of this study add? Our results showed that BRI was strongly correlated with obesity in GDM patients. HbA1c, IL-6 and BRI were found as independent risk factors associated with GDM. IL 27, a cytokine associated with inflammatory diseases, was not associated with GDM. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? BRI could be a reliable alternative to BMI for the evaluation of obesity in pregnant women and predicting cardiometabolic outcomes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (IL6 protein, human). 0 (Interleukin-27). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Interleukins). 0 (MYDGF protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med21&DO=10.1080%2f01443615.2022.2036956 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Tutar&issn=0144-3615&title=Journal+of+Obstetrics+%26+Gynaecology&atitle=The+association+of+interleukin-6%2C+interleukin-27%2C+and+body+roundness+index+with+gestational+diabetes+mellitus.&volume=42&issue=6&spage=1728&epage=1733&date=2022&doi=10.1080%2F01443615.2022.2036956&pmid=35341464&sid=OVID:medline + +<538> +Unique Identifier + 35339664 +Title + The triglycerides and glucose (TyG) index: A new marker associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in obese patients. +Source + Diabetes & Metabolism. 48(4):101345, 2022 07. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Riviere B; Jaussent A; Macioce V; Faure S; Builles N; Lefebvre P; Geraud P; Picot MC; Rebuffat S; Renard E; Paradis V; Servais MD; de Preville N; Nocca D; Lajoix AD; Pageaux GP; Galtier F +Corporate Author + COMET study group +Authors Full Name + Riviere, Benjamin; Jaussent, Audrey; Macioce, Valerie; Faure, Stephanie; Builles, Nicolas; Lefebvre, Patrick; Geraud, Philippe; Picot, Marie-Christine; Rebuffat, Sandra; Renard, Eric; Paradis, Valerie; Servais, Marie-Dominique; de Preville, Nathalie; Nocca, David; Lajoix, Anne-Dominique; Pageaux, Georges-Philippe; Galtier, Florence. +Institution + Riviere, Benjamin.

Noninvasive tools would be useful to target patients to refer for a biopsy. We aimed to determine the diagnostic value of the triglycerides and glucose (TyG) index, an insulin-resistance indicator, to predict NASH. + + METHODS: Our study included grade II-III obese patients aged 18-65 years undergoing bariatric surgery and included in the COMET (COllection of MEtabolic Tissues) biobank (NCT02861781). Liver biopsies performed during bariatric surgery were collected from the biobank along with blood derivatives. Biopsies were analysed according to the steatosis, activity and fibrosis (SAF) scoring system to diagnose NASH, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and fibrosis. Logistic regression models were performed to identify factors predicting NASH, NAFLD, and fibrosis. + + RESULTS: Of 238 analysed subjects (mean age 43+/-12 years, 33.6% men), 29% had type 2 diabetes. Steatosis was present in 67.2%, while NASH and advanced fibrosis (stage F3) were diagnosed in 18.1% and 2.9% respectively. TyG index was independently associated with NASH (odds ratio (OR): 4.7 [95% confidence interval: 2.3;9.5] P < 0.0001), NAFLD (OR: 2.0 [1.1;3.7] P = 0.03) and stages 2-3 fibrosis (OR: 4.0 [1.5;10.8] P = 0.007). NASH was also predicted by gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) with an area under the ROC curve: 0.79 [0.71;0.87 P = 0.04] for GGT and TyG index combined. + + CONCLUSION: In our cohort of severely obese patients, TyG index, when associated with GGT level, exhibited high diagnostic performance to predict NASH. Although validation in larger populations is needed, this result may be of considerable clinical value to predict need for liver biopsy. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The studied group consisted of 39 overweight females undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis (OA). The staging of knee OA was evaluated according to the Ahlback and Kellgren-Lawrence scores. Synovial fluid and peripheral blood samples were obtained. The levels of selected MMPs and osteocalcin were assessed using commercial ELISA kits. The mean value of MMP3 was significantly higher in patients with more advanced disease in both serum (p = 0.0067) and synovial fluid (p = 0.0328). The pro-MMP13 level tended to be higher in synovial fluid in the case of more advanced stages (p = 0.0882), with no tendency regarding the serum level (p = 0.9595). The synovial level of pro-MMP1 was significantly correlated with the synovial concentration of MMP9 and MMP3. The synovial level of MMP9 also showed a significant correlation with the synovial level of MMP3 and pro-MMP13. Furthermore, it was found that the serum level of MMP3 was significantly correlated with the synovial pro-MMP13 level. A correlation between the osteocalcin level in serum and its synovial level was determined. The serum MMP9 level showed a significant correlation with BMI, whereas the synovial MMP9 level was notably correlated with age. Our results showed that the levels of MMP3, MMP9, and pro-MMP13 increased in more advanced radiological stages of OA, indicating the underlying inflammatory process of OA. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 104982-03-8 (Osteocalcin).

Mice fed a high-fat-diet (HFD) or normal diet (ND) for 14 weeks were randomly assigned to exercise on spinning wheels (SW) for 7 weeks and treated with IAP followed by intrarectal administration of TNBS. The disease activity index (DAI), grip muscle strength test, oxidative stress biomarkers (MDA, SOD, GSH), DNA damage (8-OHdG), the plasma levels of cytokines IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-17a, TNF-alpha, MCP-1 and leptin were assessed, and the stool composition of the intestinal microbiota was determined by next generation sequencing (NGS). The TNBS-induced colitis was worsened in obese sedentary mice as manifested by severe colonic damage, an increase in DAI, oxidative stress biomarkers, DNA damage and decreased muscle strength. The longer running distance and weight loss was observed in mice given IAP or subjected to IAP + SW compared to sedentary ones. Less heterogeneous microbial composition was noticed in sedentary obese colitis mice and this effect disappeared in IAP + SW mice. Absence of Alistipes, lower proportion of Turicibacter, Proteobacteria and Faecalibacterium, an increase in Firmicutes and Clostridium, a decrease in oxidative stress biomarkers, 8-OHdG content and proinflammatory cytokines were observed in IAP + SW mice. IAP supplementation in combination with moderate physical activity attenuates the severity of murine colitis complicated by obesity through a mechanism involving the downregulation of the intestinal cytokine/chemokine network and oxidative stress, the modulation of the gut microbiota and an improvement of muscle strength. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines).

We assessed the relationships between AMH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone, and metabolic parameters, in a cohort of expectant fathers. + + DESIGN: ORIGINS Project prospective cohort study. + + SETTING: Community-dwelling men. + + PARTICIPANTS: Partners of pregnant women attending antenatal appointments. + + MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serum AMH, FSH, LH, testosterone, and metabolic parameters. + + RESULTS: In 485 expectant fathers, median age 33 years, median AMH was 40 pmol/L (quartiles 29, 56). AMH was inversely correlated with FSH, age, and body mass index (BMI) (correlation coefficients: -.32, -.24, and -.17 respectively). The age association was nonlinear, with peak AMH between 20 and 30 years, a decline thereafter, and somewhat steady levels after 45 years. The inverse association of AMH with FSH was log-linear and independent of age and BMI (beta: -.07, SE: 0.01, p < .001). AMH was inversely correlated with waist circumference and directly associated with sex hormone-binding globulin. Testosterone was moderately correlated with AMH (correlation coefficient: .09, beta: .011, SE: 0.004, p = .014): this association was mediated by an inverse relationship with BMI (mediated proportion 0.49, p < .001). + + CONCLUSIONS: In reproductively active men, lower AMH is a biomarker for advancing age, and for poorer metabolic and reproductive health. The inverse association between AMH and FSH is independent of age and BMI, whereas the association of AMH and testosterone is mediated via BMI. The utility of AMH to predict reproductive and cardiometabolic outcomes in men warrants further investigation. Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

This study was conducted to assess whether supplementation with resistant dextrin can improve sleep and quality of life in obese type 2 diabetic women. + + RESULTS: In this randomized controlled trial, female obese type 2 diabetic patients (n = 76) were randomly assigned into intervention group (n = 38) and placebo group (n = 38), and received 10 g day-1 of resistant dextrin or maltodextrin for a period of 8 weeks, respectively. Sleep quality and quality of life (QOL) were assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and SF-36 health survey, respectively. Fasting blood samples were driven to measure serum bacterial endotoxin, fasting blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory biomarkers (IL-18, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha), and biomarkers of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function [tryptophan (TRP), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), kynurenine (KYN), cortisol]. Supplementation with resistant dextrin improved sleep (P < 0.001) and QOL (P < 0.001) significantly. It also caused a significant decrease in levels of endotoxin, HbA1c, IL-18, IL-6, TNF-alpha and a significant increase in IL-10 levels. Significant and positive correlations were found between endotoxin (r = 0.488, P = 0.003), IL-6 (r = 0.436, P = 0.008), IL-18 (r = 0.475, P = 0.003), cortisol (r = 0.545, P = 0.048), KYN/TRP (r = 0.527, P = 0.001), and PSQI scores. + + CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that resistant dextrin improves sleep and QOL in obese women with type 2 diabetes. Its beneficial effects may be attributed in part to modulation of glycemia, metabolic endotoxemia and subsequently a decrease in biomarkers of inflammation and HPA axis activity. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

However, Clostridium cochlearium has not been linked with any health benefits. We hypothesized that C. cochlearium could be a promising new probiotic with health benefits in improving body weight control and insulin sensitivity. + + METHODS: Productions of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were characterized for C. cochlearium by NMR and GC-MS analyses. Probiotic effects of C. cochlearium were evaluated through diet-induced obese (DIO) C57BL/6 mice. The influence of C. cochlearium administration on gut SCFAs was measured using GC-MS. LC-MS-based untargeted metabolomic profiling and multivariate analysis were used to assess the serum metabolic alteration, identify biomarkers and pathways in response to the C. cochlearium administration. + + RESULTS: After 17 weeks of diet intervention, body weight gain of CC group (fed with a high-fat diet supplemented with C. cochlearium) showed a 21.86% reduction from the high-fat diet (HF) control group (P < 0.001), which was specifically reflected on the significantly lowered fat mass (CC vs HF, 17.19 g vs 22.86 g, P < 0.0001) and fat percentage (CC vs HF, 41.25% vs 47.10%, P < 0.0001), and increased lean percentage (CC vs HF, 46.63% vs 43.72%, P < 0.05). C. cochlearium administration significantly reduced fasting blood glucose from week 8 (P < 0.05 or 0.01), and eventually improved insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR, CC vs HF, 63.77 vs 143.13, P < 0.05). Overall lowered levels of SCFAs were observed in the gut content of CC group. Metabolomic analysis enabled the identification of 53 discriminatory metabolites and 24 altered pathways between CC and HF groups. In particularly, most of the pathway-matched metabolites showed positive correlations with body weight, which included glutamate, phenylalanine, ornithine, PCs, LPCs, AcCas, proline, 5,6-dihydrouracil, pyroglutamic acid, and 1-pyrroline-4-hydroxy-2-carboxylate. + + CONCLUSIONS: The beneficial effects of C. cochlearium could be related to its ability to restore certain obesity-driven biomarkers and pathways, especially downregulating pathways related to specific amino acids, PCs, LPCs and AcCas. Further research is warranted to investigate related metabolites and metabolic pathways. C. cochlearium may be developed as a promising new probiotic for the prevention or alleviation of obesity and diabetes in human. Copyright © 2022.

We sought to describe metabolic-obesity phenotypes of women using novel staging tools and investigate relationships with inflammation. + + METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, we collected fasting blood samples from sixty-four females with body mass index (BMI) >=28 kg/m2. Participants were classified as metabolically healthy or metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) using the cardiometabolic disease staging system (CMDS) and Edmonton obesity staging system (EOSS). Data were analyzed using independent sample t tests, Pearson's correlations, and multiple logistic regression. + + RESULTS: Mean (SD) age was 40.2 (9.3) years with median (IQR) BMI 31.8 (30.3-35.7) kg/m2. The prevalence of MUO was 46.9% and 81.3% using CMDS and EOSS criteria, respectively. Women with raised CMDS scores had higher C3 (1.34 [0.20] vs. 1.18 [0.15], p = 0.001) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (2.89 [1.31-7.61] vs. 1.39 [0.74-3.60], p = 0.034). C3 correlated with insulin (r = 0.52), hemoglobin A1c (r = 0.37), and C-peptide (r = 0.58), all p < 0.05. C3 above the median (>1.23 g/L) increased odds of raised CMDS score, when controlled for age, BMI, ethnicity, and smoking (OR = 6.56, 95% CI: 1.63, 26.47, p = 0.008). + + CONCLUSION: The prevalence of MUO was lower using CMDS than EOSS. C3 and CRP may be useful clinical biomarkers of risk or treatment targets in women with obesity. Copyright © 2022 S.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of periodontitis and periodontal treatment on systemic inflammation and metabolic profile in obese and non-obese rats. + + METHODS: Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided in six groups differentiated by diet and periodontal status: no periodontitis (G1 and G4), untreated ligature-induced periodontitis (G2 and G5), and treated ligature-induced periodontitis (G3 and G6). Groups G4, G5, and G6 were exposed to cafeteria diet to induce obesity. Periodontitis was induced by silk ligatures over 4 weeks (G2, G3, G5, and G6). Rats in G3 and G6 received scaling and root planing and were followed for additional 4 weeks. After sacrifice, serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17a, tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNF-alpha), glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol (TC) were compared between groups. + + RESULTS: CRP was significantly higher in obese rats with than without periodontitis (G5 = 10.15 versus G4 = 4.47 mug/L, P = 0.01). No beneficial effects of periodontal treatment were observed for CRP levels, IL-6, IL-1beta, IL-17a, and TNF-alpha, glucose and triglycerides. Treated periodontitis (G6) exhibited significantly lower TC than the periodontitis group (G5) in obese rats. + + CONCLUSION: Periodontitis increased serum CRP in obese rats, indicating a synergistic role of periodontitis in the systemic inflammatory burden triggered by obesity. The treatment of induced periodontitis reduced TC levels in obese rats.

Obesity has a close relationship with elevated levels of betatrophin and may increase the risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Therefore, lifestyle modification through a nonpharmacological approach based on physical exercise is the right strategy in lowering betatrophin levels. This study aimed to analyze the effect of moderate-intensity interval and continuous exercises on decreased betatrophin levels and the association between betatrophin levels and obesity markers in women. + + METHODS: A total of 30 women aged 20-24 years old were randomly divided into three groups. Measurement of betatrophin levels using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Data analysis techniques used were one-way ANOVA and parametric linear correlation. + + RESULTS: The results showed that the average levels of betatrophin pre-exercise were 200.40 +/- 11.03 pg/mL at CON, 203.07 +/- 42.48 pg/mL at MIE, 196.62 +/- 21.29 pg/mL at MCE, and p=0.978. Average levels of betatrophin post-exercise were 226.65 +/- 18.96 pg/mL at CON, 109.31 +/- 11.23 pg/mL at MIE, 52.38 +/- 8.18 pg/mL at MCE, and p=0.000. Pre-exercise betatrophin levels were positively correlated with age, BMI, FM, WHR, FBG, and PBF (p<=0.001). + + CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that betatrophin levels are decreased by 10 min post-MIE and post-MCE. However, moderate-intensity continuous exercise is more effective in lowering betatrophin levels than moderate-intensity interval exercise. In addition, pre-exercise betatrophin levels also have a positive correlation with obesity markers.

Mechanisms linking obesity with placental dysfunction are not completely understood. + + OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the relationship between early pregnancy body mass index and placental angiogenic biomarkers soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1, placental growth factor, and the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1-to-placental growth factor ratio. + + STUDY DESIGN: We conducted secondary analyses of an existing substudy within a multisite, prospective observational cohort study of nulliparous pregnant women in the United States. First- and second-trimester maternal blood samples, first-trimester body mass index, and demographic, lifestyle, and pregnancy outcomes data were collected. Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 and placental growth factor concentrations were measured at 6 to 13 and 16 to 22 weeks of gestation for women (cases) who experienced one of several adverse pregnancy outcomes (delivery at <37 weeks of gestation, preeclampsia or eclampsia, birthweight for gestational age <5th percentile, or stillbirth) and for those who had none of those outcomes (controls). We used multivariable mixed-effects linear regression models to estimate the association of body mass index with angiogenic biomarkers at both time points. We evaluated mean change between first- and second-trimester biomarker concentrations using multivariable linear regression models. Lastly, we used logistic regression models to estimate the risk of a high second-trimester soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1-to-placental growth factor ratio, using clinically established cutoffs for risk prediction. + + RESULTS: Angiogenic biomarker and early pregnancy body mass index data were available for 2363 women (1467 with adverse pregnancy outcomes and 896 controls). High early pregnancy body mass index was associated with consistently lower soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 concentrations across the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. We found lower first-trimester placental growth factor concentrations in the group with class II or III obesity (P<.001) and lower second-trimester placental growth factor concentrations among groups who were overweight, with class I obesity, and class II or III obesity (P<.001). For every unit increase in early pregnancy body mass index, there was a -4.4 pg/mL (95% confidence interval, -3.6 to -5.2) smaller mean increase in placental growth factor concentrations between the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. These differences resulted in significantly lower mean first-trimester soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1-to-placental growth factor ratios among groups who were overweight, with class I obesity, and class II or III obesity (P<.05) and in a significantly higher second-trimester soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1-to-placental growth factor ratio among the group with class II or III obesity (P<.001), compared with the group with normal body mass index. Each unit of increase in body mass index was associated with a 0.5 (95% confidence interval, 0.3-0.7) greater mean increase in the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1-to-placental growth factor ratio between the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. In stratified analyses, associations between body mass index and angiogenic biomarkers soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 and placental growth factor were similar in nonadverse pregnancy outcome and adverse pregnancy outcome subgroups, whereas associations between body mass index and the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1-to-placental growth factor ratio were attenuated in the subgroups. Participants in the group with class II or III obesity were 3.13 (95% confidence interval, 1.15-8.49) times more likely than participants with normal weight to have a second-trimester ratio of >=38 in univariate analysis. + + CONCLUSION: High early pregnancy body mass index was associated with lower soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 and placental growth factor concentrations across early pregnancy. Maternal body mass was inversely associated with first-trimester soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1-to-placental growth factor ratios and positively associated with second-trimester soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1-to-placental growth factor ratios, driven by a diminished rise in placental growth factor between the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. Women with class II or III obesity have an increased risk of a high second-trimester soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1-to-placental growth factor ratio associated with placental dysfunction.

The immune mechanisms controlling the inflammatory response related to the secretory activity of adipocytes and its consequences for the organism are still under investigation. + + METHODS: 84 obese adult volunteers (BMI >= 30 kg/m2) were tested by BIA. Serum samples were collected to analyze the concentrations of interleukins IL-17A, IL-17E and IL-17F. The subjects completed the original questionnaire, the FFQ-6 food consumption frequency questionnaire and the food diary. + + RESULTS: The level of IL-17E and IL-17F was positively correlated with the BMI value and the level of IL-17E increased with the content of subcutaneous fat. Its increased blood concentration was also observed in individuals who declared that they were diagnosed with atherosclerosis and/or were taking beta-blockers. Products that were related with a low level of the above-mentioned interleukins were vegetables, groats, eggs, red meat, fast-food and alcohol. The level of these interleukins was positively correlated with the frequent consumption of confectionery and breakfast cereals. Nutrients that decreased the concentrations of IL-17 isoforms were potassium, iron, vitamins B6 and C, and folic acid. + + CONCLUSIONS: Both IL-17E and IL-17F may be closely related to the intensity of low-grade inflammation and be biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk. Food products or the nutrients they contain may affect the levels of the above-mentioned interleukins as well as IL-17A. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-17). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med21&DO=10.3390%2fnu14030643 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Polak-Szczybylo&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=IL-17A%2C+IL-17E+and+IL-17F+as+Potential+Biomarkers+for+the+Intensity+of+Low-Grade+Inflammation+and+the+Risk+of+Cardiovascular+Diseases+in+Obese+People.&volume=14&issue=3&spage=&epage=&date=2022&doi=10.3390%2Fnu14030643&pmid=35277002&sid=OVID:medline + +<550> +Unique Identifier + 35271405 +Title + Fecal microbiota of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors and metabolic syndrome: an exploratory study. +Source + Pediatric Hematology & Oncology. 39(7):629-643, 2022 Oct. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Rotz SJ; Sangwan N; Nagy M; Tzeng A; Jia M; Moncaliano M; Majhail NS; Eng C +Author NameID + Rotz, Seth J; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2896-1113 + Eng, Charis; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3693-5145 +Authors Full Name + Rotz, Seth J; Sangwan, Naseer; Nagy, Matthew; Tzeng, Alice; Jia, Margaret; Moncaliano, Maria; Majhail, Navneet S; Eng, Charis. +Institution + Rotz, Seth J.

The intestinal microbiome is associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity in the general population, and is perturbed during cancer therapy. We aimed to determine if long-term survivors of pediatric cancer would have reduced bacterial microbiome diversity, and if these findings would be associated with components of the metabolic syndrome, obesity, and chronic inflammation. We performed a cross-sectional exploratory study examining the intestinal microbiome via 16S amplicon sequencing, treatment history, clinical measurements (blood pressure, body mass index) and biomarkers (hemoglobin A1c, lipoproteins, adiponectin: leptin ratio, C-reactive protein, TNFalpha, Interleukin-6, and Interleukin-10) between 35 long-term survivors and 32 age, sex, and race matched controls. All subjects were aged 10-40 years, and survivors were at least five years from therapy completion. Survivors had lower alpha diversity compared to controls (Shannon index p = .001, Simpson index p = .032) and differently abundant bacterial taxa. Further, among survivors, those who received radiation (18/35) to the central nervous system or abdomen/pelvis had decreased alpha diversity compared to those who did not receive radiation (Shannon and Simpson p < .05 for both). Although, no specific component of metabolic syndrome or cytokine was associated with measures of alpha diversity, survivors with low adiponectin-lectin ratio, elevated body mass index, and elevated C-reactive protein had differently abundant taxa compared to those with normal measures. The microbiome of cancer survivors remains less diverse than controls even many years after diagnosis, and exposure to radiation may lead to further loss of diversity in survivors.Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/08880018.2022.2049937. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Lectins). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 130068-27-8 (Interleukin-10). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med21&DO=10.1080%2f08880018.2022.2049937 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Rotz&issn=0888-0018&title=Pediatric+Hematology+%26+Oncology&atitle=Fecal+microbiota+of+adolescent+and+young+adult+cancer+survivors+and+metabolic+syndrome%3A+an+exploratory+study.&volume=39&issue=7&spage=629&epage=643&date=2022&doi=10.1080%2F08880018.2022.2049937&pmid=35271405&sid=OVID:medline + +<551> +Unique Identifier + 35267977 +Title + Malnutrition and Biomarkers: A Journey through Extracellular Vesicles.

Due to this sensitivity to the conditions of the cellular microenvironment, EVs have been found to be associated with disease conditions, including those associated with obesity and undernutrition. The sensitivity that EVs show to changes in the cellular microenvironment could be a reflection of early cellular alterations related to conditions of malnutrition, which could eventually be used in the routine monitoring and control of diseases or complications associated with it. However, little is known about the influence of malnutrition alone; that is, without the influence of additional diseases on the heterogeneity and specific content of EVs. To date, studies in "apparently healthy" obese patients show that there are changes in the size, quantity, and content of EVs, as well as correlations with some metabolic parameters (glucose, insulin, and serum lipids) in comparison with non-obese individuals. In light of these changes, a direct participation of EVs in the development of metabolic and cardiovascular complications in obese subjects is thought to exist. However, the mechanisms through which this process might occur are not yet fully understood. The evidence on EVs in conditions of undernutrition is limited, but it suggests that EVs play a role in the maintenance of homeostasis and muscle repair. A better understanding of how EVs participate in or promote cellular signaling in malnutrition conditions could help in the development of new strategies to treat them and their comorbidities. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, the molecular basis of their dysregulation and expression status correlations is incompletely understood. Therefore, this study aims to examine the shared differentially expressed miRNAs and their target genes between blood and adipose tissues of obese individuals to identify potential blood-based biomarkers. + + METHODS: In this study, 3 gene expression datasets (two mRNA and one miRNA), generated from blood and adipose tissues of 68 obese and 39 lean individuals, were analyzed by a series of robust computational concepts, like protein interactome mapping, functional enrichment of biological pathways and construction of miRNA-mRNA and transcription factor gene networks. + + RESULTS: The comparison of blood versus tissue datasets has revealed the shared differential expression of 210 genes (59.5% upregulated) involved in lipid metabolism and inflammatory reactions. The blood miRNA (GSE25470) analysis has identified 79 differentially expressed miRNAs (71% downregulated). The miRNA-target gene scan identified regulation of 30 shared genes by 22miRNAs. The gene network analysis has identified the inverse expression correlation between 8 target genes (TP53, DYSF, GAB2, GFRA2, NACC2, FAM53C, JNK and GAB2) and 3 key miRNAs (hsa-mir-940, hsa-mir-765, hsa-mir-612), which are further regulated by 24 key transcription factors. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study identifies potential obesity related blood biomarkers from large-scale gene expression data by computational miRNA-target gene interactome and transcription factor network construction methods. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MIRN765 microRNA, human). 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (RNA, Messenger). 0 (Transcription Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med21&DO=10.23736%2fS0026-4806.21.07478-4 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Bima&issn=0026-4806&title=Minerva+Medica&atitle=Integrative+global+co-expression+analysis+identifies+key+microRNA-target+gene+networks+as+key+blood+biomarkers+for+obesity.&volume=113&issue=3&spage=532&epage=541&date=2022&doi=10.23736%2FS0026-4806.21.07478-4&pmid=35266657&sid=OVID:medline + +<553> +Unique Identifier + 35254638 +Title + Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio in adolescence as a predictive marker of metabolic syndrome and obesity in early adulthood in China. +Source + Endocrine. 76(2):331-340, 2022 05. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Zhou F; Sun X; Liu J; Li L; Li L; Li P +Author NameID + Li, Ping; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3465-3443 +Authors Full Name + Zhou, Fang; Sun, Xiaoshi; Liu, Juan; Li, Linlin; Li, Ling; Li, Ping. +Institution + Zhou, Fang.

The subjects were physically examined and laboratory evaluation was performed. A follow-up examination was performed after 5 years on some (n = 93) of the subjects who had reached adulthood. + + RESULTS: TG/HDL-C had significantly high diagnostic accuracy for MetS than HOMA-IR, TG or HDL-C. Subjects with the highest TG/HDL-C at baseline had higher risk of MetS (odds ratio [OR] = 11.65) and obesity (OR = 4.32) in early adulthood. + + CONCLUSION: TG/HDL-C ratio has a strong and independent ability in diagnosing MetS in adolescents and predicting the occurrence of MetS and obesity in their early adulthood.

Accumulation of senescent cells occur in naturally aged and in focally radiated bone tissue, but despite amelioration of age- and radiation-associated bone loss after senescent cell clearance, molecular events that precede BMAT accrual are largely unknown. Here we show by RNA-Sequencing data that BMAT-related genes were the most upregulated gene subset in radiated bones of C57BL/6 mice. Using focal radiation as a model to understand age-associated changes in bone, we performed a longitudinal assessment of cellular senescence and BMAT. Using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), RNA in situ hybridization of p21 transcripts and histological assessment of telomere dysfunction as a marker of senescence, we observed an increase in senescent cell burden of bone cells from day 1 postradiation, without the presence of BMAT. BMAT was significantly elevated in radiated bones at day 7, confirming the qRT-PCR data in which most BMAT-related genes were elevated by day 7, and the trend continued until day 42 postradiation. Similarly, elevation in BMAT-related genes was observed in bones of aged mice. The senolytic cocktail of Dasatinib (D) plus Quercetin (Q) (ie, D + Q), which clears senescent cells, reduced BMAT in aged and radiated bones. MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) linked with senescence marker p21 were downregulated in radiated and aged bones, whereas miR-27a, a miR that is associated with increased BMAT, was elevated both in radiated and aged bones. D + Q downregulated miR-27a in radiated bones at 42 days postradiation. Overall, our study provides evidence that BMAT occurrence in oxidatively stressed bone environments, such as radiation and aging, is induced following a common pathway and is dependent on the presence of senescent cells. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Recent evidence suggests that an increased burden of senescent cells (SCs) in the adipose tissue of obese/diabetic animal models might underlie such pro-inflammatory phenotype. However, the role of macrophages as candidate SCs, their phenotype, the distribution of SCs among fat depots, and clinical relevance are debated. The senescence marker beta-galactosidase and the macrophage marker CD68 were scored in visceral (vWAT) and subcutaneous (scWAT) adipose tissue from obese patients (n=17) undergoing bariatric surgery and control patients (n=4) subjected to cholecystectomy. A correlation was made between the number of SCs and BMI, serum insulin, and the insulin resistance (IR) index HOMA. The monocyte cell line (THP-1) was cultured in vitro in high glucose milieu (60 mM D-glucose) and subsequently co-cultured with human adipocytes (hMADS) to investigate the reciprocal inflammatory activation. In obese patients, a significantly higher number of SCs was observed in vWAT compared to scWAT; about 70% of these cells expressed the macrophage marker CD68; and the number of SCs in vWAT, but not in scWAT, positively correlated with BMI, HOMA-IR, and insulin. THP-1 cultured in vitro in high glucose milieu acquired a senescent-like phenotype (HgSMs), characterized by a polarization toward a mixed M1/M2-like secretory phenotype. Co-culturing HgSMs with hMADS elicited pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in both cell types, and defective insulin signaling in hMADS. In morbid obesity, expansion of visceral adipose depots involves an increased burden of macrophages with senescent-like phenotype that may promote a pro-inflammatory profile and impair insulin signaling in adipocytes, supporting a framework where senescent macrophages fuel obesity-induced systemic inflammation and possibly contribute to the development of IR.

In biofluids, miRNAs can be found in protein complexes or in extracellular vesicles (EVs). Altered urinary miRNAs are reported as potential biomarkers for chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this context, we compared established urinary protein biomarkers for kidney injury with urinary miRNA profiles in obese ZSF1 and hypertensive renin transgenic rats. Additionally, the benefit of urinary EV enrichment was investigated in vivo and the potential association of urinary miRNAs with renal fibrosis in vitro. Kidney damage in both rat models was confirmed by histopathology, proteinuria, and increased levels of urinary protein biomarkers. In total, 290 miRNAs were elevated in obese ZSF1 rats compared with lean controls, whereas 38 miRNAs were altered in obese ZSF1 rats during 14-26 weeks of age. These 38 miRNAs correlated better with disease progression than established urinary protein biomarkers. MiRNAs increased in obese ZSF1 rats were associated with renal inflammation, fibrosis, and glomerular injury. Eight miRNAs were also changed in urinary EVs of renin transgenic rats, including one which might play a role in endothelial dysfunction. EV enrichment increased the number and detection level of several miRNAs implicated in renal fibrosis in vitro and in vivo. Our results show the benefit of EV enrichment for miRNA detection and the potential of total urine and urinary EV-associated miRNAs as biomarkers of altered kidney physiology, renal fibrosis and glomerular injury, and disease progression in hypertension and obesity-induced CKD.

Therefore, this study is aimed at discovering key genes, molecular mechanisms, and new drug targets for obesity and T2D by analyzing the genome wide gene expression data with different computational biology approaches. In this study, the RNA-sequencing data of isolated primary human adipocytes from individuals who are lean, obese, and T2D was analyzed by an integrated framework consisting of gene expression, protein interaction network (PIN), tissue specificity, and druggability approaches. Our findings show a total of 1932 unique differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across the diabetes versus obese group comparison (p<=0.05). The PIN analysis of these 1932 DEGs identified 190 high centrality network (HCN) genes, which were annotated against 3367 GO terms and functional pathways, like response to insulin signaling, phosphorylation, lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, etc. (p<=0.05). By applying additional PIN and topological parameters to 190 HCN genes, we further mapped 25 high confidence genes, functionally connected with diabetes and obesity traits. Interestingly, ERBB2, FN1, FYN, HSPA1A, HBA1, and ITGB1 genes were found to be tractable by small chemicals, antibodies, and/or enzyme molecules. In conclusion, our study highlights the potential of computational biology methods in correlating expression data to topological parameters, functional relationships, and druggability characteristics of the candidate genes involved in complex metabolic disorders with a common etiological basis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, its role in maternal-fetal metabolism during pregnancy is poorly understood. The present work investigates: (i) the association of PF with maternal and fetal cardiometabolic markers, and with clustered cardiometabolic risk during pregnancy, and (ii) whether being fit counteracts cardiometabolic abnormalities associated with overweight/obesity. Several PF components (flexibility, lower and upper body strength, and cardiorespiratory fitness [CRF]) were objectively assessed in 151 pregnant women at gestational weeks 16 and 33, and an overall PF cluster score calculated. At the same times, maternal glycemic and lipid markers, cortisol, and C-reactive protein were assessed with standard biochemical methods, along with blood pressure and a proxy for insulin resistance, and a cardiometabolic risk cluster score determined. These analytes were also measured in maternal and umbilical cord arterial and venous blood collected at delivery. PF was found to be associated with several maternal and a small number of fetal cardiometabolic markers (p < .05). Lower and upper body muscle strength, CRF, overall PF (week 16), and CRF changes (weeks 16-33) were inversely associated with clustered cardiometabolic risk (p < .05). Normal weight fit women had lower values for insulin level, insulin resistance, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and diastolic blood pressure than did overweight/obese unfit women at week 16 (p < .05). In conclusion, greater PF, especially muscle strength and CRF in early-middle pregnancy, appears to be associated with a better metabolic phenotype, and may protect against maternal cardiometabolic risk. "Keep yourself fit and normal weight before and during early pregnancy" should be a key public health message. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med21&DO=10.1123%2fijsnem.2021-0274 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Acosta-Manzano&issn=1526-484X&title=International+Journal+of+Sport+Nutrition+%26+Exercise+Metabolism&atitle=The+Protective+Role+of+Physical+Fitness+on+Cardiometabolic+Risk+During+Pregnancy%3A+The+GESTAtion+and+FITness+Project.&volume=32&issue=3&spage=163&epage=176&date=2022&doi=10.1123%2Fijsnem.2021-0274&pmid=35240580&sid=OVID:medline + +<559> +Unique Identifier + 35220416 +Title + Does inflammation mediate the association between obesity and hearing status in mid-childhood and mid-life?. +Source + International Journal of Obesity. 46(6):1188-1195, 2022 06. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Wang J; Liu M; Sung V; Grobler A; Saffery R; Lange K; Burgner D; Wake M +Author NameID + Wang, Jing; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5701-476X + Liu, Mengjiao; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8337-7633 + Saffery, Richard; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-9510-4181 + Lange, Katherine; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8175-6285 + Burgner, David; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8304-4302 + Wake, Melissa; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7501-9257 +Authors Full Name + Wang, Jing; Liu, Mengjiao; Sung, Valerie; Grobler, Anneke; Saffery, Richard; Lange, Katherine; Burgner, David; Wake, Melissa. +Institution + Wang, Jing.

We aimed to determine if inflammation mediates the associations between obesity and hearing ability in mid-childhood and mid-life. + + METHODS: Participants: 1165 11- to 12-year-old children and 1316 parents in the population-based cross-sectional Child Health CheckPoint within the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children. Adiposity measures: Body mass index (BMI) classified as normal, overweight and obesity; waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) classified as <0.5 and >=0.5; fat mass index. Inflammatory biomarkers: Serum glycoprotein A (GlycA); high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Audiometry: Composite high Fletcher Index (mean threshold of 1, 2, 4 kHz) in the better ear. + + ANALYSIS: Causal mediation analysis decomposed a 'total effect' (obesity on hearing status) into 'indirect' effect via a mediator (eg GlycA, hsCRP) and 'direct' effect via other pathways, adjusting for age, sex and socioeconomic position. + + RESULTS: Compared to adults with BMI within the normal range, those with obesity had hearing thresholds 1.9 dB HL (95% CI 1.0-2.8) higher on the high Fletcher Index; 40% of the total effect was mediated via GlycA (indirect effect: 0.8 dB HL, 95% CI 0.1-1.4). Children with obesity had hearing thresholds 1.3 dB HL (95% CI 0.2-2.5) higher than those with normal BMI, of which 67% (indirect effect: 0.9 dB HL, 95% CI 0.4-1.4) was mediated via GlycA. Similar mediation effects were noted using other adiposity measures. Similar but less marked mediation effects were observed when hsCRP was used as the inflammatory biomarker (6-23% in adults and 23-33% in children). + + CONCLUSIONS: Inflammation may play an important mediating role in the modest hearing reductions associated with obesity, particularly in children. These findings offer insights into possible mechanisms and early prevention strategies for hearing loss. Copyright © 2022.

PCOS is a common endocrine disorder associated with hyperandrogenemia and failure of ovulation, which is often accompanied by metabolic abnormalities, including obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance. In this review, we focus on less commonly known peptides/proteins and investigate their role as potential biomarkers for insulin resistance in females affected by PCOS. We summarize studies comparing the serum fasting concentration of particular agents in PCOS individuals and healthy controls. Based on our analysis, we propose that, in the majority of studies, the levels of nesfastin-1, myonectin, omentin, neudesin were decreased in PCOS patients, while the levels of the other considered agents (e.g., preptin, gremlin-1, neuregulin-4, xenopsin-related peptide, xenin-25, and galectin-3) were increased. However, there also exist studies presenting contrary results; in particular, most data existing for lipocalin-2 are inconsistent. Therefore, further research is required to confirm those hypotheses, as well as to elucidate the involvement of these factors in PCOS-related metabolic complications. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This study was therefore focused on the association between dietary patterns and resting metabolic rate among participants with overweight and obesity. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 304 women with overweight or obesity (BMI >= 25 kg/m2), aged 18-50. Anthropometric assessments, physical activity and biochemical measurements were assessed. RMR was also measured by means of indirect calorimetry. Dietary intake of participants was evaluated by 147-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire [FFQ]. + + RESULTS: There was a significant association between higher adherence to the healthy dietary pattern [HDP] and RMR (P = 0.05), intakes of protein (P = 0.003), minerals (P = 0.001) as well as fat free mass [FFM] (P = 0.002), bone mineral content (P = 0.001), skeletal muscle mass (P = 0.001), soft lean mass (P = 0.002) and visceral fat area (P = 0.05). Also, there was a considerable association between higher adherence to the unhealthy dietary pattern [UHDP] and fasting blood sugar [FBS] (P = 0.05). Using multinomial logistic regression has been shown that the medium adherence to the HDP was marginally significant with decreased resting metabolic rate [Dec. RMR] group in crude model (OR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.28-1.05, P = 0.07). After controlling for various confounders such as age, FFM, physical activity, and energy intake, the association between Dec. RMR group and the lowest quartile of the HDP (OR: 0.36; 95% CI: 0.14-0.91, P = 0.03) became significant as well as the association between Dec.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of hydroethanolic extract from Siolmatra brasiliensis stems on insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, advanced glycation end product (AGE) formation, and oxidative stress in mice with induced obesity. + + METHODS: C57BL-6 J mice were fed a high-fat diet for 14 weeks and treated with 125 or 250 mg/kg S. brasiliensis extract during the last 7 weeks. The study assessed glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, plasma levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS, biomarkers of oxidative damage), fluorescent AGEs (biomarkers of advanced glycation), and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity (antioxidant enzyme). The activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the liver and kidneys were also investigated. + + RESULTS: Siolmatra brasiliensis extract had antiobesogenic effects; improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance; decreased the total plasma cholesterol levels; decreased the levels of glycoxidative stress biomarkers, including AGEs (plasma, liver, kidneys) and TBARS (liver, kidneys); and also improved endogenous antioxidant defenses by increasing the activities of PON1 (plasma), SOD (kidneys), CAT (liver, kidneys), and GSH-Px (kidneys). + + CONCLUSION: This study expands on our knowledge about the pharmacological properties of S. brasiliensis and substantiates the potential of this plant species to be used as a complementary therapeutic agent to alleviate the metabolic dysfunctions resulting from dyslipidemia and glycoxidative stress.

This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the potential differences in plasma acyl ghrelin (AG) and des-acyl ghrelin (DAG) concentrations between normal weight and obese adults. Systematic literature searches of PubMed, Embase and Web of Science through October 2021 were conducted for articles reporting AG or DAG levels in obesity and normal weight, and 34 studies with 1863 participants who met the eligibility criteria were identified. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate group differences in circulating AG and DAG levels. Pooled effect size showed significantly lower levels of baseline AG (SMD: - 0.85; 95% CI: - 1.13 to - 0.57; PSMD < 0.001) and DAG (SMD: - 1.06; 95% CI: - 1.43 to - 0.69; PSMD < 0.001) in obese groups compared with healthy controls, and similar results were observed when subgroup analyses were stratified by the assay technique or storage procedure. Postprandial AG levels in obese subjects were significantly lower than those in controls when stratified by different time points (SMD 30 min: - 0.85, 95% CI: - 1.18 to - 0.53, PSMD < 0.001; SMD 60 min: - 1.00, 95% CI: - 1.37 to - 0.63, PSMD < 0.001; SMD 120 min: - 1.21, 95% CI: - 1.59 to - 0.83, PSMD < 0.001). In healthy subjects, a postprandial decline in AG was observed at 120 min (SMD: - 0.42; 95% CI: - 0.77 to - 0.06; PSMD = 0.021) but not in obese subjects (SMD: - 0.28; 95% CI: - 0.60 to 0.03; PSMD = 0.074). The mean change in AG concentration was similar in both the obese and lean health groups at each time point (DELTASMD30min: 0.31, 95% CI: - 0.35 to 0.97, PSMD = 0.359; DELTASMD60min: 0.17, 95% CI: - 0.12 to 0.46, PSMD = 0.246; DELTASMD120min: 0.21, 95% CI: - 0.13 to 0.54, PSMD = 0.224). This meta-analysis strengthens the clinical evidence supporting the following: lower baseline levels of circulating AG and DAG in obese individuals; declines in postprandial circulating AG levels, both for the healthy and obese individuals; a shorter duration of AG suppression in obese subjects after meal intake. These conclusions have significance for follow-up studies to elucidate the role of various ghrelin forms in energy homeostasis. Copyright © 2022.

A total of 72 (78%) biomarkers changed significantly. The biomarkers with the highest relative changes represented processes linked mainly to insulin resistance and inflammation. In the patients with persistent subclinical cardiac dysfunction, the baseline values of 10 biomarkers were different from values in patients with normalization of cardiac function. Most of these biomarkers were linked to inflammation or atherosclerosis. Finally, a model was developed to investigate the relationship between changes in the biomarkers and persistent subclinical cardiac dysfunction. Seven biomarkers were retained in this model, mainly linked to inflammation, atherosclerosis, and hypercoagulability. + + CONCLUSION: The majority (78%) of cardiovascular biomarkers changed, pointing mainly to modulation of insulin resistance and inflammation. The baseline levels of 10 biomarkers, as well as pre- to post-bariatric surgery changes in seven biomarkers, were related to persistent subclinical cardiac dysfunction after bariatric surgery. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Recently, the development of new biomolecular methods made it possible to delineate the involvement of lncRNAs in the regulation of different biological processes, both physiological and pathological, by acting within the cell with different regulatory mechanisms based on their specific target. To date, obesity is one of the most important health problems spreading all over the world, including the children: the search for new potential early biomarkers could open the doors to novel therapeutic strategies useful to fight the disease early in life and to reduce the risk of obesity-related co-morbidities. + + OBJECTIVE: This review highlights the lncRNAs involved in obesity, in adipogenesis, and lipid metabolism, particularly in lipogenesis. + + CONCLUSION: LncRNAs involved in adipogenesis and lipogenesis, being at the cross-road of obesity, should be deeply analysed in this contest, allowing to understand possible causative actions in starting obesity and whether they might be helpful to treat obesity.

We examined adiposity and smoking as potential pathways through which childhood depression may lead to an elevated inflammatory status among young adults. + + METHODS: The sample included 294 subjects with histories of depression (probands), 270 never-depressed siblings of probands (high-risk siblings), and 169 controls. C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) were assessed in serum samples. An adiposity score was computed from body mass index and waist circumference. Smoking behavior was evaluated during an interview. Mixed-effects models were used to test whether adiposity and smoking mediate the relationship between depression and inflammation. + + RESULTS: Probands (p = .004), but not siblings (p = .071), had higher levels of sICAM-1 compared to controls. However, depression history and risk status had no direct effects on CRP (ps > .13) or IL-6 (ps > .16). Importantly, adiposity indirectly mediated the effect of group (probands vs. controls; siblings vs. controls) on all three inflammatory markers. Smoking indirectly mediated the effect of group (probands vs. controls; siblings vs. controls) on sICAM-1 only. + + CONCLUSIONS: Among young adults, the adverse inflammatory consequences of depression history are significant for sICAM-1. Adiposity and smoking are pathways through which depression can indirectly impact several inflammatory markers, suggesting possible preventive interventions to improve the immunologic and cardiovascular health of depression-prone individuals.

However, no representative studies have been conducted in the population of the Federal District, Brazil. + + OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of hypertension and its association with lipid, glucose, and adiposity markers in school-aged adolescents living in the Federal District. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional study included participants of the Study of Cardiovascular Risks in Adolescents (Portuguese acronym, ERICA). Blood pressure, blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, insulin, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and economic, demographic, and sexual maturity variables were assessed. The data were analyzed in Stata, and the analysis was divided into different stages: descriptive, crude, and adjusted. Significant results were set at p < 0.05. + + RESULTS: In total, 1,200 adolescents were included, and their mean age was 14.8 years. The prevalence of hypertension was 8% (95% confidence interval: 6.3; 9.9). Most parameters were associated with blood pressure in crude analysis. In adjusted analysis, glucose, lipid, and adiposity markers maintained the associations, and the highest magnitudes were those of BMI and HOMA-IR. + + CONCLUSION: The study revealed a high prevalence of hypertension in adolescents living in the Federal District, and blood pressure levels were associated with other markers of lipid, glucose, and adiposity profile.

Foram avaliados pressao arterial, glicemia sanguinea, hemoglobina glicada, insulina, modelo de avaliacao da homeostase da resistencia a insulina (HOMA-IR), triglicerideos, colesterol total, lipoproteina de alta densidade, lipoproteina de baixa densidade, indice de massa corporal (IMC) e perimetro da cintura, alem de variaveis economicas, demograficas e de maturacao sexual. A analise de dados foi feita no software Stata e foi dividida nas seguintes etapas: analises descritiva, bruta e ajustada. Considerou-se p < 0,05. + RESULTADOS: Foram incluidos 1.200 adolescentes com media de idade de 14,8 anos. A prevalencia de HAS foi de 8% (intervalo de confianca de 95%: 6,3; 9,9). A maioria dos parametros se associou com a PA na analise bruta; na ajustada, os parametros glicidicos, lipidicos e de adiposidade mantiveram a associacao, tendo IMC e HOMA-IR a maior magnitude na relacao. + CONCLUSAO: O estudo revelou elevada prevalencia de HAS em adolescentes do DF, e os niveis pressoricos apresentaram-se associados a outros marcadores de perfil lipidico, glicidico e de adiposidade, evidenciando a relevancia da vigilancia em saude para o planejamento de acoes efetivas para a reversao do quadro e prevencao de novos casos. + Language: Portuguese +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Triglycerides).

We fit natural-effects models to estimate natural direct and natural indirect effects of BMI on pain through inflammatory biomarkers. + + RESULTS: Each 5-unit increase in BMI was associated with more severe hand pain (on average increased AUSCAN by 0.64 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.23, 1.08]), foot pain (on average increased NRS by 0.65 [95% CI 0.36, 0.92]), knee/hip pain (on average increased WOMAC by 1.31 [95% CI 0.87, 1.73]), generalized pain, and pain sensitization. Mediation analyses suggested that the effects of BMI on hand pain and painful total body joint count were partially mediated by leptin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), respectively. Effect sizes for mediation by leptin were larger for the hands than for the lower extremities, and were statistically significant for the hands only. + + CONCLUSION: In people with hand OA, higher BMI is associated with greater pain severity in the hands, feet, and knees/hips. Systemic effects of obesity, measured by leptin, may play a larger mediating role for pain in the hands than in the lower extremities. Low-grade inflammation, measured by hsCRP, may contribute to generalized pain in overweight/obese individuals. Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

Intermediates of the one-carbon cycle (1CC), which is duplicated in the cytoplasm and mitochondria, have a major role in modulating the impact of diet on the epigenome. Moreover, epigenetic pathways and the redox system are linked by the metabolism of glutathione (GSH). In a cohort of 101 normal-weight and 97 overweight/obese subjects, we evaluated mtDNAcn and methylation levels in both mitochondrial and nuclear areas to test the association of these marks with body weight, metabolic profile, and availability of 1CC intermediates associated with diet. Body composition was associated with 1CC intermediate availability. Reduced levels of GSH were measured in the overweight/obese group (p = 1.3*10-5). A high BMI was associated with lower LINE-1 (p = 0.004) and nominally lower methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene methylation (p = 0.047). mtDNAcn was lower in overweight/obese subjects (p = 0.004) and independently correlated with MTHFR methylation levels (p = 0.005) but not to LINE-1 methylation levels (p = 0.086). DNA methylation has been detected in the light strand but not in the heavy strand of the mtDNA. Although mtDNA methylation in the light strand did not differ between overweight/obese and normal-weight subjects, it was nominally correlated with homocysteine levels (p = 0.035) and MTHFR methylation (p = 0.033). This evidence suggests that increased body weight might perturb mitochondrial-nuclear homeostasis affecting the availability of nutrients acting as intermediates of the one-carbon cycle.

We aimed to describe the frequency of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation, and MAFLD within a large prospective Australian cohort. Cross-sectional analysis of the 2012 survey of the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle (AusDiab) study which included 4747 Australian adults (aged 34-97 yrs) was performed. Frequency of ALT elevation (men >= 40 IU/L, women >= 30 IU/L) and MAFLD (Fatty Liver Index (FLI) > 60 alongside metabolic risk factors) was determined and risk of advanced fibrosis stratified using the BARD score. Elevated ALT was found in 13% of the cohort, including 22% of people with diabetes, 18% with obesity, and 17% with the metabolic syndrome. 37% of the cohort had MAFLD, and those with MAFLD were more likely to be older (OR 1.01 per 1 year (95% CI 1.00-1.02)), male (OR 1.37 (95% CI 1.17-1.59)), have ALT elevation (OR 3.21 (95% CI 2.59-3.99)), diabetes (OR 3.39 (95% CI 2.61-4.39)), lower HDL-C (OR 0.15 per 1 mmol/L (95% CI 0.12-0.19)), higher diastolic blood pressure (OR 1.05 per 10 mmHg (95% CI 1.05-1.06)), a sedentary lifestyle (OR 1.99 (95% CI 1.59-2.50)) and less likely to have tertiary education (OR 0.81 (95% CI 0.7-0.94) compared to those without MAFLD. Of those with MAFLD, 61% had a BARD score suggesting risk of advanced fibrosis and 22% had an elevated ALT. Over 10% of this Australian cohort had elevated ALT, and 37% had MAFLD, with many at risk for advanced fibrosis. Copyright © 2022. The Author(s). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

There is a large number of overweight or obese people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), while this study aims to observe periodic ketogenic diet for effect on overweight or obese patients newly diagnosed as T2DM. + + METHODS: A total of 60 overweight or obese patients newly diagnosed as T2DM were randomized into two groups: KD group, which was given ketogenic diet, and control group, which was given routine diet for diabetes, 30 cases in each group. Both dietary patterns lasted 12 weeks, and during the period, the blood glucose, blood lipid, body weight, insulin, and uric acid before and after intervention, as well as the significance for relevant changes, were observed. + + RESULTS: For both groups, the weight, BMI(body mass index), Waist, TG (triglyceride), TC(cholesterol), LDL (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), HDL (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), FBG (fasting glucose), FINS (fasting insulin), HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) were decreased after intervention (P < 0.05), while the decrease rates in the KD group was more significant than the control group. However, UA(serum uric acid) in the KD group showed an upward trend, while in the control group was not changed significantly (P > 0.05). The willingness to adhere to the ketogenic diet over the long term was weaker than to the routine diet for diabetes. + + CONCLUSION: Among the overweight or obese patients newly diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus, periodic ketogenic diet can not only control the body weight, but also control blood glucose and lipid, but long-term persistence is difficult.

Further, the correlation between the measured variables after the intervention was identified. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eligible 40 women were distributed into two equal groups: the experimental group that received aerobic training three times per week for 12 weeks along with a balanced diet, and the control group that received a balanced diet only. Changes in weight, body mass index, sex hormones, and coagulation biomarkers were assessed pre-and post-intervention. The correlation between evaluated variables was assessed. + + RESULTS: Both groups demonstrated a significant difference in sex hormones (i.e., a substantial decrease in estradiol, total testosterone, free testosterone, and a substantial increase in sex hormone-binding globulin) and coagulation biomarkers (a considerable reduction in plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 activity, fibrinogen, and a significant increase in tissue plasminogen activator, prothrombin time, and cephalin-kaolin coagulation time). This discrepancy was highly significant in the experimental group (p < 0.01) relative to the control group (p < 0.05), and there was a strong link between sex hormones and coagulation biomarkers (p <= 0.05). Conversely, no correlation between variables was noticed in the control group (p > 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Aerobic exercise along with a balanced diet modulates sex hormones level, improves homeostasis balance in postmenopausal women, and reduces the potential risk of cardiovascular disease. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Gonadal Steroid Hormones). 3XMK78S47O (Testosterone). 4TI98Z838E (Estradiol).

This study investigated several candidate diagnostic biomarkers and the metabolic phenotype in end-stage KOA in the context of obesity. + + DESIGN: In this cross-sectional study, adult patients undergoing knee arthroplasty were enrolled and KOA severity was assessed using the Lequesne index. Blood biomarkers with an important role in obesity, the metabolic syndrome, or KOA (oxidized form of low-density lipoprotein [oxLDL], advanced glycation end product [AGE], soluble AGE receptor [sRAGE], fatty acid binding protein 4 [FABP4], phospholipase A2 group IIA [PLA2G2A], fibroblast growth factor 23 [FGF-23], ghrelin, leptin, and resistin) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; n = 70) or Luminex technique (subgroup of n = 35). H1-NMR spectroscopy was used for the quantification of metabolite levels (subgroup of n = 31). The hip-knee-ankle angle was assessed. Multivariable and multivariate regression analysis was used to examine the relationship of biomarkers with body mass index (BMI) and KOA severity in complete case and multiple imputation analysis. + + RESULTS: While most of the investigated biomarkers were not associated with KOA severity, FABP4 and leptin were found to correlate with BMI and gender. Resistin was associated with Lequesne index in complete case analysis. Using a targeted metabolomics approach, BMI-dependent changes in the metabolome were hardly visible. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our findings confirm studies on FABP4, leptin, and resistin with regard to obesity and the metabolic syndrome. There was no association of the investigated biomarkers with KOA severity, most likely due to the patient selection (end-stage KOA patients). Based on this absence of BMI-dependent changes in the metabolome, we might assume that BMI is not correlated with KOA severity in this specific patient group. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Resistin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim of this study was to test if s-Klotho level is associated with cardiometabolic risk markers in younger healthy men in order to verify the possible role of s-Klotho level as an early marker of cardiometabolic risk. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 186 healthy men (Mage=35.33, SDage=3.47) from a Western urban population. Serum basal levels of s-Klotho, lipid profile, homocysteine, glycemia markers, C-reactive protein, liver transaminases and creatinine were evaluated. Also, blood pressure was measured and cardiometabolic risk score and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were calculated. Testosterone and cortisol levels, self-reported psychological stress, physical activity, smoking in the past, alcohol use and body adiposity were controlled for. We found no relationship between levels of s-Klotho and physiological markers of cardiometabolic risk in the studied population. The results were similar when controlled for adiposity, testosterone level, physical activity, alcohol use and smoking in the past. We suggest that s-Klotho level is not an early marker of cardiometabolic risk in younger middle-aged healthy men. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 3XMK78S47O (Testosterone). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This multi-factorial disease is continuously spreading across developing countries, including the Middle East and Southeast Asia region, where Malaysia and Darussalam Brunei are the most affected. The sedentary lifestyle and availability of surplus foods have dramatically increased the number of individuals with type 2 diabetes in these countries. Thus, an adequate medical strategy must be developed urgently to address and remedy these diseases. Natural sources have been attracting attention, especially in Malaysia, where most land areas are under plant cover. Metabolomics, as a prophylactic technique, has been used extensively in Malaysia to investigate the potential use and benefits of herbs to combat obesity and diabetes. + + AIM OF REVIEW: This review aims to explain the application of the metabolomics approach in the study of anti-diabetes and anti-obesity activity of Malaysian herbs to identify the stand-up point for future advancement in using these herbs as a primary source for drug exploration. + + KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW: This review provides an overview of using metabolomics technique in studying the anti-diabetes and anti-obesity activity of Malaysian herbs. Specific emphasis is given to the changed metabolites in both in vivo and in vitro treatment of Malaysia herbs that might be future drugs for treating diabetes and obesity. Copyright © 2022.

Grade 1 was diagnosed in 12 (20.69%), grade 2 - 16 (27.59%), grade 3 - 30 (51.72%) examined patients. Of the patients enrolled to study, 32 were women and 26 were men, 32 to 79 years old (mean age - 57,5+/-10.11 years). + + RESULTS: Results: The level of Galanin in all groups of hypertensive patients was significantly increased compared to the control group (p < 0.001). The concentration of the latter in the blood serum gradually increases according to the degree of hypertension, while (p<0.01), and the maximum level of Galanin was observed in group of patients with grade 3 hypertension (Me 164.47 pg/mL). The level of Galanin concentration in all subgroups of patients, depending on the presence and degree of obesity, was significantly increased compared to the control group (p < 0.001), the maximum level of Galanin was in the group with hypertension and obesity of 3 degrees (Me = 166.48 pg/mL). + + CONCLUSION: Conclusions: In hypertensive patients with obesity, a significant increase in the concentration of Galanin was detected; most pronounced in arterial hypertension grade 3 and obesity grade 3.

Plasma markers of bacterial translocation and gut barrier dysfunction (lipopolysaccharide binding protein [LBP], zonulin, and intestinal fatty acid binding protein [I-FABP]) were measured at baseline by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and log10 transformed. Adiposity outcomes included percentage total body, truncal, and extremity fat in kilograms from DXA. Linear regression models were fit using generalized estimating equations to assess associations of baseline gut markers (log10) on adiposity outcomes at baseline and 2 years, adjusted for demographic variables, current antiretroviral therapy exposure, and physical activity. + + RESULTS: Two hundred sixty-one youth were included; 128 had a second DXA. Median age at first DXA was 12 years (interquartile range, 10-14 years), 49% were female, and 69% were Black. After adjustment for potential confounders, log10 LBP was positively associated with percentage total body fat at baseline (beta = 4.08, P < .01) and zonulin with adiposity measures at both time points (beta = .94 to 6.50, P <= .01). I-FABP was inversely associated with percentage total body fat at baseline and year 2 (beta = -2.36 and -3.01, respectively, P <= .02). + + CONCLUSIONS: Despite viral suppression, gut damage and the resultant bacterial translocation are associated with body composition measures in YPHIV.

Activation of BAT increases energy expenditure and is seen as a putative strategy to treat obesity. There are conflicting data on the capacity for cold-induced thermogenesis in individuals with higher BMI. + + METHODS: To investigate the effect of BMI on cold-induced stimulation of energy expenditure, changes in the metabolic profile, and the expression of browning markers in subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT), healthy adults (N = 173, 50.9% females) with a median age of 26.0 (interquartile range [IQR]: 23.0; 28.0) years and a median body mass index (BMI) of 23.6 [IQR: 21.9; 26.6] kg/m2 were exposed to short-term mild cold exposure (CE). Resting energy expenditure (REE) was measured by indirect calorimetry and blood sampling was conducted at baseline and after CE. In a subgroup of participants with obesity, subcutaneous abdominal fat biopsies were taken before and after CE. + + RESULTS: The cold-induced median increase in REE was 74 (IQR: -28; 241) kcal/day (p < 0.001). This increase negatively correlated with BMI (p < 0.001). Participants with BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 displayed a significant median increase of 103 kcal/day (p < 0.001), participants with overweight or obesity were not able to increase REE (23, p = 0.468 or -30 kcal/day, p = 0.917, respectively). In participants with obesity, expression of cell death activator in scWAT after CE was upregulated in females (p = 0.034). + + CONCLUSIONS: Persons with overweight and obesity do not increase REE in response to CE, presumably reflecting lower BAT activity. Likewise, the metabolic response to cold is diminished in participants with elevated BMI. Copyright © 2022 The Author(s). Published by S.

Several approaches were compared for estimating the prevalence of depleted iron stores (defined as serum ferritin <15 mug/L), including unadjusted prevalence and higher cutoffs for various subgroups (excluding participants with inflammation), correction factors, and regression corrections. A "reference" prevalence estimate was calculated as the prevalence of serum ferritin <15 mug/L in normal weight individuals without inflammation. Each adjustment approach was compared with this reference prevalence. + + RESULTS: The sample comprised 61.2% normal weight, 23.7% overweight, and 15.1% obese individuals. The prevalence of inflammation (marked by C-reactive protein level >5.0 mg/L) was 6.3%, 8.1%, and 14.1% in the 3 groups, respectively. The correction factor approaches produced adjusted estimates closest to the reference estimate (24.1%-24.7% vs 22.9%), followed by the regression corrections (24.7%-25.1% vs 22.9%). Applying a higher serum ferritin cutoff (30 mug/L) to all participants or to participants with overweight/obesity produced adjusted estimates farthest from the reference (59.5% and 35.3%, respectively). + + CONCLUSIONS: Adjusting serum ferritin concentration may be necessary when assessing iron status in populations with high rates of overweight/obesity. After reviewing 6 approaches for adjusting for the influence of inflammation, this study suggests that using correction factors may be the most appropriate approach for adjusting serum ferritin in Chilean adolescents. Further research is needed to determine the optimal approach for adjusting serum ferritin concentrations for weight-related inflammation in broader populations. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Finland, like other circumpolar regions, is also experiencing a rise in obesity . Here we assess BMI, body adiposity, and measures of cardiometabolic health among a small population of reindeer herders in sub-Arctic Finland. We collected anthropometric and biomarker measures at two different time points: October 2018 (N = 20) and January 2019 (N = 21) with a total of 25 unique individuals across the data collection periods (ages 20-64). Anthropometric measures included height, weight, age, and body composition. Biomarkers included measures of cholesterol, fasting glucose, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Over 70% of this sample was classified as "overweight" and "obese" as categorised by BMI and 64% classified as "overfat" based on body fat percentage. However, there was no significant relationship between BMI and body fat percentage with any of the measured biomarkers. Although the sample size is small, the results of this study suggest there might not be a strong correlation between BMI, body adiposity, and cardiometabolic health indices within this population - a pattern that has been documented elsewhere. However, further study is needed to confirm this lack of a correlation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

LncRNAs play an important role in adipocyte differentiation and regulation. Here we assessed the effect of lncRNA XIST on brown preadipocytes differentiation and metabolic regulation. + + METHODS: XIST expression levels were detected in human perirenal (peri-N) and subcutaneous adipose tissues (sub-Q), brown preadipocytes and 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. XIST overexpression and knockdown experiments were performed in brown preadipocytes. XIST overexpression mouse model was established by plasmid injection through tail vein. + + RESULTS: In human adipose tissues, XIST expression was significantly higher in female than in male individuals. In vitro, XIST expression was significantly up-regulated during brown adipocyte differentiation. XIST knockdown inhibited differentiation of brown preadipocytes, while overexpression of XIST promotes brown preadipocytes to fully differentiation. RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (RIP) experiment revealed that XIST could directly bind to C/EBPalpha. In vivo, XIST overexpression prevents high-fat diet induced obesity and improves metabolic dysorder in male mice. + + CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that XIST combats obesity through BAT activation at least partly by combination with transcription factor C/EBPalpha.

This systematic literature review aimed to examine the specific effects of whole grains on selected inflammatory markers from human clinical trials in adults. As per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) protocol, the online databases MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, and Scopus were searched from inception through to 31 August 2021. Randomized control trials (RCTs) >= 4 weeks in duration, reporting >=1 of the following: C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), were included. A total of 31 RCTs were included, of which 16 studies recruited overweight/obese individuals, 12 had pre-existing conditions, two were in a healthy population, and one study included participants with prostate cancer. Of these 31 RCTs, three included studies with two intervention arms. A total of 32 individual studies measured CRP (10/32 were significant), 18 individual studies measured IL-6 (2/18 were significant), and 13 individual studies measured TNF (5/13 were significant). Most often, the overweight/obese population and those with pre-existing conditions showed significant reductions in inflammatory markers, mainly CRP (34% of studies). Overall, consumption of whole grain foods had a significant effect in reducing at least one inflammatory marker as demonstrated in 12/31 RCTs. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Their identification is crucial, and it would represent a fundamental step towards better management of this urgent public health issue. This aim could be accomplished by exploiting the potential of machine learning (ML) technology. In a single-centre study (n = 2567), we used an ML analysis to cluster patients with metabolically healthy (MHO) or metabolically unhealthy (MUO) obesity, based on several clinical and biochemical variables. The first model provided by ML was able to predict the presence/absence of MHO with an accuracy of 66.67% and 72.15%, respectively, and included the following parameters: HOMA-IR, upper body fat/lower body fat, glycosylated haemoglobin, red blood cells, age, alanine aminotransferase, uric acid, white blood cells, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and gamma-glutamyl transferase. For each of these parameters, ML provided threshold values identifying either MUO or MHO. A second model including IGF-1 zSDS, a surrogate marker of IGF-1 normalized by age and sex, was even more accurate with a 71.84% and 72.3% precision, respectively. Our results demonstrated high IGF-1 levels in MHO patients, thus highlighting a possible role of IGF-1 as a novel metabolic health parameter to effectively predict the development of MUO using ML technology. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 67763-96-6 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor I).

The epidemiological link between obesity and a broad spectrum of cardiometabolic disorders has been well documented; however, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are only partially understood, and effective treatment options remain scarce. Given its critical role in glucose metabolism, skeletal muscle has increasingly become a focus of attention in understanding the mechanisms of impaired insulin function in obesity and the associated metabolic sequelae. We examined the current evidence on the relationship between microvascular dysfunction and insulin resistance in obesity. A growing body of evidence suggest an intimate and reciprocal relationship between skeletal muscle microvascular and glucometabolic physiology. The obesity phenotype is characterized by structural and functional changes in the skeletal muscle microcirculation which contribute to insulin dysfunction and disturbed glucose homeostasis. Several interconnected etiologic molecular mechanisms have been suggested, including endothelial dysfunction by several factors, extracellular matrix remodelling, and induction of oxidative stress and the immunoinflammatory phenotype. We further correlated currently available pharmacological agents that have deductive therapeutic relevance to the explored pathophysiological mechanisms, highlighting a potential clinical perspective in obesity treatment. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Obesity is known to influence not only the proportion of adipose tissue but also physiological processes that could alter drug pharmacokinetics. Yet, there are no specific dosing recommendations for radiopharmaceuticals in this patient population. This could potentially lead to underdosing and thus suboptimal treatment in obese patients, while it could also lead to drug toxicity due to high levels of radioactivity. In this review, relevant literature is summarized on radiopharmaceutical dosing and pharmacokinetic properties, and we aimed to translate these data into practical guidelines for dosing of radiopharmaceuticals in obese patients. For radium-223, dosing in obese patients is well established. Furthermore, for samarium-153-ethylenediaminetetramethylene (EDTMP), dose-escalation studies show that the maximum tolerated dose will probably not be reached in obese patients when dosing on MBq/kg. On the other hand, there is insufficient evidence to support dose recommendations in obese patients for rhenium-168-hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate (HEDP), sodium iodide-131, iodide 131-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), lutetium-177-dotatate, and lutetium-177-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). From a pharmacokinetic perspective, fixed dosing may be appropriate for these drugs. More research into obese patient populations is needed, especially in the light of increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Radiopharmaceuticals). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

A vast amount of researchers have reported a strong relationship between obesity and chronic kidney disease, and obesity can serve as an independent risk factor for kidney disease. The histological changes of kidneys in obesity-induced renal injury include glomerular or tubular hypertrophy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis or bulbous sclerosis. Furthermore, inflammation, renal hemodynamic changes, insulin resistance and lipid metabolism disorders are all involved in the development and progression of obesity-induced nephropathy. However, there is no targeted treatment for obesity-related kidney disease. In this review, RAS inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors and melatonin would be presented to treat obesity-induced kidney injury. Furthermore, we concluded that melatonin can protect the kidney damage caused by obesity by inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress, revealing its therapeutic potential. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

It is considered a multifactorial disease in which environmental and genetic factors interact, and it is a risk marker for cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle modifications remain the mainstay of treatment for obesity based on adequate diet and physical exercise. In addition, obesity is related to cardiovascular and skeletal muscle disorders, such as cardiac hypertrophy, microvascular rarefaction, and skeletal muscle atrophy. The discovery of obesity-involved molecular pathways is an important step to improve both the prevention and management of this disease. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of gene regulators which bind most commonly, but not exclusively, to the 3'-untranslated regions of messenger RNAs of protein-coding genes and negatively regulate their expression. Considerable effort has been made to identify miRNAs and target genes that predispose to obesity. Besides their intracellular function, recent studies have demonstrated that miRNAs can be exported or released by cells and circulate within the blood in a remarkably stable form. The discovery of circulating miRNAs opens up intriguing possibilities for the use of circulating miRNA patterns as biomarkers for obesity and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the recent discoveries of the role played by miRNAs in the obese phenotype and associated comorbidities. Furthermore, we will discuss the role of exercise training on regulating miRNAs, indicating the mechanisms related to these alterations. Copyright © 2022 The Author(s). Published by S.

Adolescents aged 11 to 17 years (Tanner stage II-V), 70% girls, with a body mass index z-score at or above the 85th percentile, and/or with excess of adiposity (body fat >= 30%). The participants were randomly assigned to the following 4 groups for 6 months: (1) standard physical education lessons, as a control (CTRL); (2) high-intensity physical education class (HIPE); (3) low-to-moderate intensity physical education class (LIPE); (4) a combined group (PLUS). Inflammatory markers and immune molecules including chemokines, cytokines, and growth factors (n = 65 biomarkers) were determined by cytokine antibody array. + + RESULTS: Of the 120 randomly assigned participants, 95 were included in the analysis. Considering these 22 proteins, the LIPE group shows statistical significance in 9 proteins with log-fold change (logFC) and P < 0.05 (in BLC, eotaxin, fibroblast growth factor-6 [FGF-6], GCP-2, I-309, IGFBP-4, MCP-4, NAP-2, and PARC), followed by the PLUS group in 9 proteins (BLC, pro-epidermal growth factor, eotaxin, FGF-6, MCP-4, NAP-2, osteopontin, PARC, and RANTES), the HIPE group in 7 proteins (FGF-4, FGF-7, GCP-2, IGF-1, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-4, and MIP-1 delta), and the CTRL group in 6 proteins (FGF-4, IP-10, Leptin, MCP-1, MIG, and MIP-1 delta). However, subanalysis performed to detect differentially expressed proteins at baseline and after intervention, with significance at an adjusted P value <= 0.05 and absolute log fold-change (logFC) >= 1.0, showed 3 downregulated proteins in the LIPE group (BLC(logFC) = 1.27, eotaxin(logFC) = 1.18, and MCP-4(logFC) = 1.14), and 4 proteins in the HIPE group (BLC(logFC) = 1.45, FGF-6(logFC) = 1.20, MCP-4(logFC) = 1.50, and PARC(logFC) = 1.33), supporting that the changes we observed in the exercise groups were not time-related changes but occurred in response to exercise. + + CONCLUSIONS: Implementing a 6-month physical exercise program in overweight/obese adolescents, based on LIPE and PLUS groups, significantly change several circulating inflammatory levels. Interventions involving supervised physical exercise may reduce the associated effects of systemic low-grade inflammation, thus preventing the development of obesity-related metabolic diseases in adolescents with overweight/obesity.

We review the current state of knowledge in identifying human metabotypes - based on circulating biomarkers - that can predict weight loss or other relevant physiological outcomes in response to diet treatment. + + RECENT FINDINGS: Not many studies have been conducted in this area and the ones identified here are heterogeneous in design and methodology, and therefore difficult to synthesize and draw conclusions. The basis of the creation of metabotypes varies widely, from using thresholds for a single metabolite to using complex algorithms to generate multi-component constructs that include metabolite and genetic information. Furthermore, available studies are a mix of hypothesis-driven and hypothesis-generating studies, and most of them lack experimental testing in human trials. Although this field of research is still in its infancy, precision-based dietary intervention strategies focusing on the metabotype group level hold promise for designing more effective dietary treatments for obesity.

Each of 3 test meals was provided for 2 continuous days: a resting day without exercise, followed by an exercise day with a bicycling exercise of 50% maximal oxygen consumption (postprandial 90-120 minutes). Energy expenditure (exploratory outcome of primary interest) was measured using indirect calorimetry. Fasting and postprandial 2-hour serum clinical and metabolomic biomarkers (secondary interest) were measured. Mixed models were used to examine the effects of meal, time, and/or BMI category. + + RESULTS: On the resting day, no significant between-meal differences were detected for energy expenditure. However, high-carbohydrate and high-fat meals induced the highest postprandial 2-hour increase in glucose (0.34 +/- 0.15 mmol/L) and triglyceride (0.95 +/- 0.09 mmol/L), respectively, while the high-protein meal reduced glucose (-0.48 +/- 0.08 mmol/L) and total cholesterol (-0.01 +/- 0.03 mmol/L; all Pmeal values < 0.001). On the exercise day, a high-carbohydrate meal significantly promoted the carbohydrate oxidation rate but suppressed the fat oxidation rate (Pmeal < 0.05), while its postprandial glucose response was attenuated by bicycling (-0.31 +/- 0.03 mmol/L; Pexercise < 0.001). We identified 69 metabolites as key features in discriminating between the 3 meals, and overweight/obese men had more varieties of metabolites than normal-weight men. + + CONCLUSIONS: Three isocaloric meals induced unique postprandial changes in clinical and metabolomic biomarkers, while exercise prevented the hyperglycemia induced by a high-carbohydrate meal. Overweight/obese men were more responsive to the meal challenges than normal-weight men. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03231618. Copyright © The Author(s) 2022.

Additionally, emerging evidence has shown MF can reduce cardiometabolic risk in children and adolescents. + + OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine and summarize the evidence regarding the relationship between MF phenotypes (i.e., maximum muscular strength/power, muscular endurance, and maximum muscular strength/power/endurance) and cardiometabolic variables (obesity, blood pressure, lipids, glucose homeostasis, inflammatory markers, and clustered cardiometabolic variables) in children and adolescents. + + DESIGN: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and was registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42020179273. + + DATA SOURCES: A systematic review was performed on five databases (PubMed, EMBASE, SciELO, Scopus, and Web of Knowledge) from database inception to May 2020, with complementary searches in reference lists. + + ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SELECTING STUDIES: Eligibility criteria included (1) a study sample of youth aged <= 19 years, (2) an assessment of MF with individual or clustered cardiometabolic variables derived from adjusted models (regardless of test/measurement adopted or direction of reported association), and (3) a report of the association between both, using observational studies. Only original articles published in peer-reviewed journals in English, Portuguese, and Spanish languages were considered. The quality of the included studies was assessed by using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute checklist. The percentage of results reporting a statistically significant inverse association between each MF phenotype and cardiometabolic variables was calculated. + + RESULTS: Of the 23,686 articles initially identified, 96 were included (77 cross-sectional and 19 longitudinal), with data from children and adolescents from 35 countries. The score for the quality of evidence ranged from 0.33 to 0.92 (1.00 maximum). MF assessed by maximum muscular strength/power was inversely associated with lower obesity (64/113 total results (56.6%)) and reduction in clustered cardiometabolic risk (28/48 total results (58.3%)). When assessed by muscular endurance, an inverse association with obesity (30/44 total results (68.1%)) and cardiometabolic risk (5/8 total results (62.5%)) was identified. Most of the results for the relationship between MF phenotypes with blood pressure, lipids, glucose homeostasis, and inflammatory markers indicated a paucity of evidence for these interrelationships (percentage of results below 50.0%). + + CONCLUSION: MF assessed by maximum muscular strength/power or muscular endurance is potentially associated with lower obesity and lower risk related to clustered cardiometabolic variables in children and adolescents. There is limited support for an inverse association between MF with blood pressure, lipids, glucose homeostasis biomarkers, and inflammatory markers in children and adolescents. Copyright © 2022.

A working group identified five blood-based biomarkers that may serve such a purpose as an integrated index. We evaluated the responsiveness of the panel to caloric restriction or aerobic exercise in the context of a randomized clinical trial conducted in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) with obese phenotype who were predominantly female. Obese HFpEF is highly prevalent in women, and is a geriatric syndrome whose disease pathology is driven by non-cardiac factors and shared drivers of aging. We measured serum Interleukin-6, TNF-alpha-receptor-I, growth differentiating factor-15, cystatin C, and N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide at baseline and after 20 weeks in older participants with stable obese HFpEF participating in a randomized, controlled, 2 x 2 factorial trial of caloric restriction and/or aerobic exercise. We calculated a composite biomarker index, summing baseline quintile scores for each biomarker, and analyzed the effect of the interventions on the index and individual biomarkers and their associations with changes in physical performance. This post hoc analysis included 88 randomized participants (71 women [81%]). The mean +/- SD age was 66.6 +/- 5.3 years, and body mass index (BMI) was 39.3 +/- 6.3 kg/m2. Using mixed models, mean values of the biomarker index improved over 20 weeks with caloric restriction (- 0.82 [Formula: see text] 0.58 points, p = 0.05), but not with exercise (- 0.28 [Formula: see text] 0.59 points, p = [Formula: see text]), with no evidence of an interaction effect of CR [Formula: see text] EX [Formula: see text] time (p = 0.80) with adjustment for age, gender, and BMI. At baseline, the biomarker index was inversely correlated with 6-min walk distance, scores on the short physical performance battery, treadmill test peak workload and exercise time to exhaustion (all [Formula: see text] s = between - 0.21 and - 0.24). A reduction in the biomarker index was also associated with increased 4-m usual walk speed ([Formula: see text] s = - 0.31). Among older patients with chronic obese HFpEF, caloric restriction improved a biomarker index designed to reflect biological aging. Moreover, the index was associated with physical performance and exercise tolerance. Copyright © 2022.

In 2020, the more inclusive term metabolic (dysfunction)-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) - defined by broader diagnostic criteria - was proposed to replace the term NAFLD. The new terminology and revised definition better emphasize the pathogenic role of metabolic dysfunction and uses a set of definitive, inclusive criteria for diagnosis. Diagnosis of MAFLD is based on evidence of hepatic steatosis (as assessed by liver biopsy, imaging techniques or blood biomarkers and scores) in persons who are overweight or obese and have type 2 diabetes mellitus or metabolic dysregulation, regardless of the coexistence of other liver diseases or excessive alcohol consumption. The known association between NAFLD and chronic kidney disease (CKD) and our understanding that CKD can occur as a consequence of metabolic dysfunction suggests that individuals with MAFLD - who by definition have fatty liver and metabolic comorbidities - are at increased risk of CKD. In this Perspective article, we discuss the clinical associations between MAFLD and CKD, the pathophysiological mechanisms by which MAFLD may increase the risk of CKD and the potential drug treatments that may benefit both conditions.

In this study, 614 individuals with DM and hypertension were recruited. Dyslipidaemia was defined as elevated levels of total cholesterol (TC) >= 5.2 mmol/L and/or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) >= 2.6 mmol/L, triglycerides (TG) >= 1.8 mmol/L and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) < 1 mmol/L for men and < 1.2 mmol/L for women. Multivariate regression model (adjusted) analysis was used to identify the significant determinants of dyslipidaemia. The prevalence of dyslipidaemia was 76.7% (n = 471), with females showing the highest prevalence 357 (75.79%). Elevated TG (62.21%) was the most prevalent form of dyslipidemia. Only 103 (16.77%) participants were on statin therapy. The multivariate logistic regression model analysis (adjusted) showed that, the Zulu ethnicity (AOR = 2.45; 95%CI 1.48-4.05) was associated with high TC. DM (AOR = 2.00; 95%CI 1.30-3.06) and the female sex (AOR = 2.54; 95%CI 1.56-4.12) were associated with low HDL-C. Obesity (AOR = 1.57; 95%CI 1.12-2.21) and the Zulu ethnicity (AOR = 1.60; 95%CI 1.00-2.54) were associated with elevated LDL-C. DM (AOR = 2.32; 95%CI 1.61-3.34) was associated with elevated TG. We found a high prevalence of dyslipidaemia. The study further demonstrated that prevention and treatment of dyslipidaemia should be prioritised among individuals with multi-morbidities.

This study aimed to investigate the changes in the CV risk score and five CV-associated biomarkers after gastric bypass surgery. + + METHOD: We enrolled 80 obese subjects who underwent gastric bypass (40 T2D and 40 non-T2D). CV risks were assessed using the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) engine before and after surgery. Levels of five biomarkers -fasting serum fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-19, FGF-21, corin, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE)-were measured before surgery and one year after surgery. + + RESULTS: The T2D group was significantly older and had a higher CV risk score than the non-T2D group, but body mass index (BMI) was similar between the groups. Preoperative biomarker levels were similar in both the T2D and the non-T2D groups. One year after surgery, the percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) was similar between the two groups (32.2 +/- 19.5% versus 34.1% +/- 8.8%, p = 0.611). Complete T2D remission (hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) < 6.0%) was achieved in 29 patients (72.5%). The 10-year CV risk scores by the UKPDS risk engine reduced significantly in both the T2D and the non-T2D groups, but more in the T2D group. Three of five biomarkers changed significantly after surgery: the FGF-19 increased from 195.6 +/- 249.1 pg/mL to 283.2 +/- 211.8 pg/mL, corin increased from 3.3 +/- 2.3 ng/mL to 4.6 +/- 3.7 ng/mL, and ox-LDL decreased from 148.5 +/- 71.7-107.9 U/L; the P values were 0.002, 0.002 and < 0.001, respectively. The T2D group showed a significantly different change in FGF-19 increase and FGF-21 decrease compared to the non-T2D group. The changes in corin and ox-LDL levels were not different between the T2D and non-T2D groups. + + CONCLUSION: Gastric bypass surgery resulted in a higher UKPDS CV risk score reduction in obese T2D Asians than in those without.

Our primary aim was to assess the anti-inflammatory effects of Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) supplementation and concurrent training in obese men with T2DM. + + METHODS: Sixty obese men with T2DM (age = 39 +/- 5 years; body mass = 93.9 +/- 6 kg) were randomly assigned to four groups; concurrent training + placebo (CT; n = 15), saffron supplementation (S; n = 15), concurrent training + saffron supplementation (CTS; n = 15), or control (CON; n = 15). The participants in the CT group performed concurrent training (resistance + aerobic) three times per week for 12 weeks and received daily one pill of placebo (maltodextrin); the participants in the S group supplemented with one pill of 100 mg of saffron daily, and the participants in the CTS group participated in both saffron and training intervention while CON group continued regular lifestyle (no training and no supplementation). Inflammatory markers, body composition (evaluated by a multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance device; Jawon X-Contact 356), and metabolic profile were evaluated before and after interventions. + + RESULTS: All three interventions significantly (P < .05) decreased TNF-alpha (CT = -4.22, S = -1.91, CTS = -9.69 pg/mL), hs-CRP (CT = -0.13, S = -0.1, CTS = -0.32 ng/mL), IL-6 (CT = -6.84, S = -6.36, CTS = -13.55 pg/mL), IL-1beta (CT = -8.85, S = -6.46, CTS = -19.8 pg/mL), FBG (CT = -6.97, S = -2.45, CTS = -13.86 mg/dL), insulin (CT = -0.13, S = -0.03, CTS = -0.21 mU/L), HOMA-IR (CT = -0.12, S = -0.04, CTS = -0.21), HbA1c (CT = -0.17, S = -0.11, CTS = -0.26%), and increased IL-10 (CT = 1.09, S = 0.53, CTS = 2.27 pg/mL) concentrations. There was a positive correlation between changes in BFP with hs-CRP, IL-6, IL-1beta and TNF-alpha, and IL-10 concentrations across the intervention groups. Additionally, significant differences were observed between the changes for all variables in the CTS group compared to CT, S and CON groups (P < .05). + + CONCLUSION: It seems that an interaction of saffron supplementation and concurrent training has more efficient effects on anti-inflammatory status compared to saffron supplementation or concurrent training alone.

Available human data examining hepatic mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and hepatic mitochondrial turnover in NAFLD and NASH are scant. + + APPROACH AND RESULTS: To investigate this relationship, liver biopsies were obtained from patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery and data clustered into four groups based on hepatic histopathological classification: Control (CTRL; no disease); NAFL (steatosis only); Borderline-NASH (steatosis with lobular inflammation or hepatocellular ballooning); and Definite-NASH (D-NASH; steatosis, lobular inflammation, and hepatocellular ballooning). Hepatic mitochondrial complete FAO to CO2 and the rate-limiting enzyme in beta-oxidation (beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity) were reduced by ~40%-50% with D-NASH compared with CTRL. This corresponded with increased hepatic mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, as well as dramatic reductions in markers of mitochondrial biogenesis, autophagy, mitophagy, fission, and fusion in NAFL and NASH. + + CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that compromised hepatic FAO and mitochondrial turnover are intimately linked to increasing NAFLD severity in patients with obesity.

With the goal of providing insight into the link between tryptophan pathway metabolites, type 2 diabetes, and chronic obesity-induced inflammation. This longitudinal study included 20 participants. Half were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. 11 and 9 underwent RYGB and SG respectively. Blood samples were obtained at pre-operative and 3 months post-operative timepoints. Tryptophan and downstream metabolites of the kynurenine pathway were quantified with an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionisation method. At 3 months post-operation, RYGB led to significant reductions in tryptophan, kynurenic acid and xanthurenic acid levels when compared to baseline. Significant reductions of the same metabolites after surgery were also observed in individuals with T2D irrespective of surgical procedure. These metabolites were significantly correlated with serum HbA1c levels and BMI. Bariatric surgery, in particular RYGB reduces serum levels of tryptophan and its downstream kynurenine metabolites. These metabolites are associated with T2D and thought to be potentially mechanistic in the systemic processes of obesity induced inflammation leading to insulin resistance. Its reduction after surgery is associated with an improvement in glycaemic control (HbA1c). Copyright © 2022.

However, the underlying mechanisms thereof remain unclear and the associations were mostly shown in geriatric cohorts or in patients with chronic diseases. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the possible involvement of abdominal obesity, selected adipokines, and biomarkers of subclinical inflammation in the association of MR-proADM with mortality in a population based study cohort. + + METHODS: Prospective analysis of the KORA F4 study; median follow-up 9.1 (8.8-9.4) years. Complete data on MR-proADM and mortality was available for 1551 participants, aged 56.9+/-12.9 years (mean+/-SD). Correlation and regression analyses of MR-proADM with overall (BMI) and abdominal obesity (waist circumference), selected adipokines and biomarkers of subclinical inflammation. Cox proportional hazard models on the association of MR-proADM with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality with adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors and selected biomarkers in study subgroups (n = 603-1551). + + RESULTS: MR-proADM associated with all-cause (HR (95%CI): 2.37 (1.72-3.26) and 2.31 (1.67-3.20)) and cardiovascular mortality (4.28 (2.19-8.39) and 4.44 (2.25-8.76)) after adjustment for traditional cardiovascular risk factors including BMI or waist circumference, respectively. MR-proADM was further associated with four out of seven examined adipokines (leptin, retinol-binding protein-4, chemerin, and adiponectin) and with five out of eleven examined biomarkers of subclinical inflammation (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, myeloperoxidase, interleukin-22, and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist) after multivariable adjustment and correction for multiple testing. However, only IL-6 substantially attenuated the association of MR-proADM with all-cause mortality. + + CONCLUSIONS: We found an association of MR-proADM with (abdominal) obesity, selected adipokines, and biomarkers of subclinical inflammation. However, the association of MR-proADM with mortality was independent of these parameters. Future studies should investigate the role of IL-6 and further characteristics of subclinical inflammation in the association between MR-proADM and all-cause mortality. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (Protein Precursors). 0 (mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin, human). 148498-78-6 (Adrenomedullin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Behavioral weight loss and metformin have distinct effects on the gut microbiome, but their impact on gut permeability to lipopolysaccharides is unknown. This study's objective was to determine the effects of a behavioral weight-loss intervention or metformin treatment on plasma LBP. + + SUBJECTS/METHODS: SPIRIT was a randomized trial of adults with overweight or obesity. Participants were randomized to one of three arms: metformin treatment, coach-directed behavioral weight loss on a DASH diet, or self-directed care (control). Of 121 participants, a random subset (n = 88) was selected to have LBP measured at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months post intervention. Intervention effects on LBP over time were assessed using generalized estimating equations (GEE). We also examined whether the intervention effects were modified by change in diet and weight. + + RESULTS: Arms were balanced by sex (83% female), race (51% white), and age (mean 60 years), with no differences in baseline LBP (median 4.23 mug/mL). At 1 year, mean weight change was -3.00% in the metformin arm, -3.02% in the coach-directed behavioral weight-loss arm, and +0.33% in the self-directed (control) arm. The corresponding change in LBP was +1.03, -0.98, +1.03 mug/mL. The behavioral weight-loss intervention reduced LBP compared to self-directed care (beta = -0.17, 95% CI: -0.33 to -0.01); no other between-arm comparisons were significant. Behavioral weight-loss participants who reduced dietary fat showed the greatest reductions in 6-month LBP (beta = -2.84, 95% CI: -5.17 to -0.50). + + CONCLUSIONS: Despite similar weight loss in the behavioral weight loss arm and the metformin arm, only the behavioral weight-loss intervention reduced LBP compared to control. Lifestyle weight-loss interventions that promote a DASH diet may be effective at reducing gut barrier permeability to lipopolysaccharides. + + CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02431676, https://clinicaltrials.gov.

In this study, we evaluated immune and endothelial blood cell profiles of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to determine critical differences between those with mild, moderate, or severe COVID-19 using spectral flow cytometry. We examined a suite of immune phenotypes, including monocytes, T cells, NK cells, B cells, endothelial cells, and neutrophils, alongside surface and intracellular markers of activation. Our results showed progressive lymphopenia and depletion of T cell subsets (CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+) in patients with severe disease and a significant increase in the CD56+CD14+Ki67+IFN-gamma+ monocyte population in patients with moderate and severe COVID-19 that has not been previously described. Enhanced circulating endothelial cells (CD45-CD31+CD34+CD146+), circulating endothelial progenitors (CD45-CD31+CD34+/-CD146-), and neutrophils (CD11b+CD66b+) were coevaluated for COVID-19 severity. Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated the synergism among age, obesity, and hypertension with upregulated CD56+ monocytes, endothelial cells, and decreased T cells that lead to severe outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Circulating monocytes and endothelial cells may represent important cellular markers for monitoring postacute sequelae and impacts of SARS-CoV-2 infection during convalescence and for their role in immune host defense in high-risk adults after vaccination.

Non-insulin-suppressible (l0 ), insulin-suppressible (l2 ), and maximal (l0 +l2 ) lipolysis rates were calculated by minimal model analysis. Body composition was determined by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. SAT leukocyte populations were characterized by flow cytometry analysis from biopsied samples obtained before and after the intervention. + + RESULTS: Colchicine treatment significantly decreased l2 and l0 +l2 versus placebo (p < 0.05). These changes were associated with a significant reduction in markers of systemic inflammation, including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, resistin, and circulating monocytes and neutrophils (p < 0.01). Colchicine did not significantly alter SAT leukocyte population distributions (p > 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: In adults with obesity and MetS, colchicine appears to improve insulin regulation of lipolysis and reduce markers of systemic inflammation independent of an effect on local leukocyte distributions in SAT. Further studies are needed to better understand the mechanisms by which colchicine affects adipose tissue metabolic pathways in adults with obesity and MetS. Copyright Published 2021.

Additionally, we studied 859 less obese patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD to derive BMI-adjusted cutoffs for NFS. + + MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Biomarker area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC), sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values to identify histological stage >=F3 fibrosis or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis with >=F2 fibrosis [fibrotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)]. + + RESULTS: The scores with an AUROC >=0.85 to identify >=F3 fibrosis were ADAPT, FIB-4, FIBC3, and HFS. For fibrotic NASH, the best predictors were MACK-3 and ADAPT. The specificities of NFS, BARD, and FIBC3 deteriorated as a function of BMI. We derived and validated new cutoffs for NFS to rule in/out >=F3 fibrosis in groups with BMIs <30.0, 30.0 to 39.9, and >=40.0 kg/m2. This optimized its performance at all levels of BMI. Sequentially combining FIB-4 with ADAPT or FIBC3 increased specificity to diagnose >=F3 fibrosis. + + CONCLUSIONS: In obese patients, the best-performing fibrosis biomarkers are ADAPT and the inexpensive FIB-4, which are unaffected by BMI. The widely used NFS loses specificity in obese individuals, which may be corrected with BMI-adjusted cutoffs. Copyright © The Author(s) 2021.

However, the role of PLD2 in obesity and type 2 diabetes has not previously been investigated. Here, we show that during diet-induced thermogenesis and obesity, levels of PLD2 but not PLD1 in adipose tissue are inversely related with uncoupling protein 1, a key thermogenic protein. We demonstrate that the thermogenic program in adipose tissue is significantly augmented in mice with adipocyte-specific Pld2 deletion or treated with a PLD2-specific inhibitor and that these mice are resistant to high fat diet-induced obesity, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance. Mechanistically, we show that Pld2 deletion in adipose tissue or PLD2 pharmacoinhibition acts via p62 to improve mitochondrial quality and quantity in adipocytes. Thus, PLD2 inhibition is an attractive therapeutic approach for obesity and type 2 diabetes by resolving defects in diet-induced thermogenesis.

We tested the hypothesis that consideration of the integrated response of these pathways may reveal dysregulation of the stress systems, which is not evident when considering either system alone. Age-matched lean and overweight/obese men were subjected to a Trier Social Stress Test and reactivity of the SAM system (salivary alpha-amylase, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate) and the HPA axis (salivary cortisol) were measured. Relative reactivity of SAM system and HPA axis was calculated as the ratio between the measures from each pathway. Although analysis of reactivity of individual stress pathways showed no evidence of dysfunction in overweight/obese compared with lean men, analysis of HPA/SAM reactivity revealed significantly lower cortisol over systolic blood pressure (CoSBP) and cortisol over diastolic blood pressure (CoDBP) reactivity in overweight/obese compared with lean men. Other measures of HPA/SAM reactivity and all measures of SAM/HPA reactivity were unaltered in overweight/obese compared with lean men. These findings suggest that the cortisol response per unit of blood pressure response is blunted in men with elevated adiposity. Furthermore, these findings support a notion of a coordinated overall approach to activation of the stress pathways with the degree of activation in one pathway being related to the degree of activation in the other. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

We aimed to identify the biomarker profile and biological meaning of biomarkers associated with obesity to assess the effect of spironolactone on the circulating biomarkers and to explore whether obesity might modify the effect of spironolactone. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Protein biomarkers (n=276) from the Olink Proseek-Multiplex cardiovascular and inflammation panels were measured in plasma collected at baseline, 1 month and 9 months from the HOMAGE randomized controlled trial participants. Of the 510 participants, 299 had obesity defined as an increased waist circumference (>=102 cm in men and >=88 cm in women). Biomarkers at baseline reflected adipogenesis, increased vascularization, decreased fibrinolysis, and glucose intolerance in patients with obesity at baseline. Treatment with spironolactone had only minor effects on this proteomic profile. Obesity modified the effect of spironolactone on systolic blood pressure (Pinteraction=0.001), showing a stronger decrease of blood pressure in obese patients (-14.8 mm Hg 95% confidence interval -18.45 to -11.12) compared with nonobese patients (-3.6 mm Hg 95% confidence interval -7.82 to 0.66). + + CONCLUSIONS: Among patients at risk for heart failure, those with obesity have a characteristic proteomic profile reflecting adipogenesis and glucose intolerance. Spironolactone had only minor effects on this obesity-related proteomic profile, but obesity significantly modified the effect of spironolactone on systolic blood pressure.

It is confirmed that IR was significantly associated with hyperuricemia, and obesity was the risk factor for IR and hyperuricemia. However, the relationship between the TyG index and hyperuricemia and the potential role of obesity in Han Chinese hypertension are not entirely elucidated. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 4551 hypertension patients aged 40-75 years with clinical and biochemical data. The TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dl) x fasting plasma glucose (mg/dl)/2]. Hyperuricemia was determined as serum uric acid >=357mumol/L (6 mg/dl) for females and >=417mumol/L (7 mg/dl) for males. Our study suggested that the TyG index was higher in patients with hyperuricemia than in those without (8.99+/-0.61, 8.70+/-0.59, p < .001). The prevalence of hyperuricemia in patients with the lowest (<=8.32), second (8.33-8.66), third (8.67-9.07) and the highest quartile (>=9.08) of the TyG index was 6.0%, 10.4%, 15.4%, 21.4%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis suggested that the higher quartile of TyG index was associated with increased hyperuricemia risk whether in crude or adjusted models (p < .05). Mediation analysis showed that all of our obesity indexes partially mediated the association between the TyG index and hyperuricemia to some extent. In Conclusions, the TyG index is significantly associated with hyperuricemia in hypertension patients among Han Chinese, obesity plays a partial mediation role in this relationship.

The aim of this study was thus to investigate and seek to determine the association between circulating adropin levels and overweight/obesity using the meta-analysis approach of observational studies. A comprehensive literature search was carried out through the PubMed, Web of Science, and SCOPUS databases to identify relevant observational studies that assessed the relationship between circulating adropin levels and overweight/obesity up to September 2020. A random-effects model was used to compute the pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The meta-analysis of five studies (n = 643 participants) showed that circulating adropin levels were significantly lower in the overweight/obese vs. the normal-weight participants (WMD = - 0.96 ng/ml, 95% CI = - 1.72 to - 0.19, P = 0.01; I2 = 88.4%). In subgroup analyses, lower circulating adropin levels in obese participants compared with normal-weight were observed in Asians (WMD = - 1.58 ng/ml, 95% CI = - 1.96 to - 1.21, P < 0.001; I2 = 0.00%), and in patients with metabolic disorders (WMD = - 1.26 ng/ml, 95% CI = - 1.76 to - 0.77, P < 0.001; I2 = 44.6%), respectively. Circulating adropin levels were significantly lower in overweight/obese vs. normal-weight participants, suggesting a possible role of this hormone in the development of obesity.

However, the underlying metabolic changes of AD pathological proteins attributed to obesity in two life stages were not clear. + + OBJECTIVE: To investigate the associations of obesity types and obesity indices with AD biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in different life stages. + + METHODS: We recruited 1,051 cognitively normal individuals (61.94+/-10.29 years, 59.66%male) from the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) study with CSF detections for amyloid-beta 42 (Abeta42), total-tau (T-tau), and phosphorylated tau (P-tau). We utilized body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, and metabolic risk factors to determine human obesity types. Multiple linear models and interaction analyses were run to assess the impacts of obesity on AD biomarkers. + + RESULTS: The metabolically unhealthy obesity or healthy obesity might exert a reduced tau pathology burden (p < 0.05). Individuals with overweight, general obesity, and central obesity presented lower levels of tau-related proteins in CSF than normal controls (p < 0.05). Specially, for late-life individuals, higher levels of obesity indices were associated with a lower load of tau pathology as measured by CSF T-tau and T-tau/Abeta42 (p < 0.05). No similar significant associations were observed in midlife. + + CONCLUSION: Collectively, late-life general and central obesity seems to be associated with the reduced load of tau pathology, which further consolidates the favorable influence of obesity in specific life courses for AD prevention. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amyloid beta-Peptides). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MAPT protein, human). 0 (tau Proteins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We investigated the association of circulating serum markers (e.g. androgens and IGFs/IGFBPs) with BMI and in modifying the association of obesity with prostate cancer risk. Data and specimens for this nested case-control study are from the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of finasteride for prostate cancer prevention. Presence or absence of cancer was determined by prostate biopsy. Serum samples were assayed for sex steroid hormone concentrations and IGF1 axis analytes. Logistic regression estimated odds ratio and 95% CIs for risk of overall, low-grade (Gleason 2-6), and high-grade (Gleason 7-10) cancers. We found significant associations between BMI with serum steroids and IGFs/IGFBPs; the IGF1 axis was significantly associated with several serum steroids. Serum steroid levels did not affect the association of BMI with prostate cancer risk; however, IGFBP2 and IGFs modified the association of obesity with low- and high-grade disease. While serum steroids and IGFs/IGFBPs are associated with BMI, only the IGF1 axis contributed to obesity-related prostate cancer risk. Understanding the biological mechanisms linking obesity to prostate cancer risk as it relates to circulating serum markers will aid in developing effective prostate cancer prevention strategies and treatments. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 57GNO57U7G (Finasteride). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Using data from the Longitudinal Aging Study of Taipei, this study explored the roles of the muscle-to-fat ratio (MFR) with different definitions and its associations with clinical characteristics, functional performance, cardiometabolic risk and outcomes. + + METHODS: (1) Appendicular muscle mass divided by total body fat mass (aMFR), (2) total body muscle mass divided by total body fat mass (tMFR) and (3) relative appendicular skeletal muscle mass (RASM) were measured. Each measurement was categorized by the sex-specific lowest quintiles for all study participants. Clinical outcomes included all-cause mortality and fracture. + + RESULTS: Data from 1060 community-dwelling older adults (mean age: 71.0 +/- 4.8 years) were retrieved for the study. Overall, 196 (34.2% male participants) participants had low RASM, but none was sarcopenic. Compared with those with high aMFR, participants with low aMFR were older (72 +/- 5.6 vs. 70.7 +/- 4.6 years, P = 0.005); used more medications (2.9 +/- 3.3 vs. 2.1 +/- 2.5, P = 0.002); had a higher body fat percentage (38 +/- 4.8% vs. 28 +/- 6.4%, P < 0.001), RASM (6.7 +/- 1.0 vs. 6.5 +/- 1.1 kg/m2 , P = 0.001), and cardiometabolic risk [fasting glucose: 105 +/- 27.5 vs. 96.8 +/- 18.7 mg/dL, P < 0.001; glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c): 6.0 +/- 0.8 vs. 5.8 +/- 0.6%, P < 0.001; triglyceride: 122.5 +/- 56.9 vs. 108.6 +/- 67.5 mg/dL, P < 0.001; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C): 56.2 +/- 14.6 vs. 59.8 +/- 16 mg/dL, P = 0.010]; and had worse functional performance [Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA): 25.7 +/- 4.2 vs. 26.4 +/- 3.0, P = 0.143, handgrip strength: 24.7 +/- 6.7 vs. 26.1 +/- 7.9 kg, P = 0.047; gait speed: 1.8 +/- 0.6 vs. 1.9 +/- 0.6 m/s, P < 0.001]. Multivariate linear regression showed that age (beta = 0.093, P = 0.001), body mass index (beta = 0.151, P = 0.046), total percentage of body fat (beta = 0.579, P < 0001) and RASM (beta = 0.181, P = 0.016) were associated with low aMFR. Compared with those with high tMFR, participants with low tMFR were older (71.7 +/- 5.5 vs. 70.8 +/- 4.7 years, P = 0.075); used more medications (2.8 +/- 3.3 vs. 2.1 +/- 2.5, P = 0.006); had a higher body fat percentage (38.1 +/- 4.7 vs. 28 +/- 6.3%, P < 0.001), RASM (6.8 +/- 1.0 vs. 6.5 +/- 1.1 kg/m2 , P < 0.001), and cardiometabolic risk (fasting glucose: 104.8 +/- 27.6 vs. 96.9 +/- 18.7 mg/dL, P < 0.001; HbA1c: 6.1 +/- 0.9 vs. 5.8 +/- 0.6%, P < 0.001; triglyceride: 121.4 +/- 55.5 vs. 108.8 +/- 67.8 mg/dL, P < 0.001; HDL-C: 56.4 +/- 14.9 vs. 59.7 +/- 15.9 mg/dL, P = 0.021); and had worse functional performance (MoCA: 25.6 +/- 4.2 vs. 26.5 +/- 3.0, P = 0.056; handgrip strength: 24.6 +/- 6.7 vs. 26.2 +/- 7.9 kg, P = 0.017; gait speed: 1.8 +/- 0.6 vs. 1.9 +/- 0.6 m/s, P < 0.001). Low tMFR was associated with body fat percentage (beta = 0.766, P < 0.001), RASM (beta = 0.476, P < 0.001) and Mini-Nutritional Assessment (beta = -0.119, P < 0.001). Gait speed, MoCA score, fasting glucose, HbA1c and tMFR were significantly associated with adverse outcomes, and the effects of aMFR were marginal (P = 0.074). + + CONCLUSIONS: Older adults identified with low MFR had unfavourable body composition, poor functional performance, high cardiometabolic risk and a high risk for the clinical outcome.

Height has been inversely associated with atherosclerosis and it is unlikely to be associated with unexpected biases. In this study, we aimed to assess the association between height and other anthropometric measurements and intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD). + + METHODS: Community-dwelling older adults enrolled in the Three Villages Study received anthropometric measurements, high-resolution head CT (to evaluate calcium content in carotid siphons) and time-of-flight MRA (to assess stenosis of large intracranial arteries). Logistic regression models were fitted to assess the independent association between each anthropometric measurements and the presence of ICAD, after adjusting for relevant confounders. Estimated adjusted proportions were used to show how increases of different anthropometric measurements impacted ICAD log odds and corresponding odds ratios. + + RESULTS: A total of 581 individuals were enrolled. Height was the single variable inversely associated with ICAD at the mean of other anthropometric measurements (OR: 0.954; 95% C.I.: 0.918 - 0.991; p=0.016). Every additional cm of height reduced by 4.6% the probability of having ICAD. The significance of other anthropometric measurements vanished in multivariate models with height as an independent variable. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates a robust inverse association between height and ICAD in Amerindians and opens new avenues of research for a better understanding of the obesity paradox in diverse ethnic groups.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene and toluene are major constituents of environmental pollution. In the present study, we employed the population of the Korean National Environmental Health Survey (KoNEHS) Cycle 3 conducted between 2015 and 2017, and assessed the associations of urinary biomarkers for PAHs and VOCs exposure with obesity and DM. A total of 3787 adult participants were included and the urinary concentrations of four PAH metabolites and two VOC metabolites were measured. For correcting urine dilution, a covariate-adjusted standardization method was used. The highest quartiles of urinary 2-hydroxynaphthalene (2-NAP) [OR (95% confidence interval (CI)) = 1.46 (1.13, 1.87)] and sum of PAH metabolites [OR (95% CI) = 1.45 (1.13, 1.87)] concentrations were associated with a higher risk of obesity [body mass index (BMI)>=25 kg/m2]. BMI was positively associated with urinary 2-NAP [beta (95% CI) = 0.25 (0.09, 0.41), p = 0.003] and sum of PAH metabolites [beta (95% CI) = 0.29 (0.08, 0.49), p = 0.006] concentrations. The risk of DM was increased with increasing quartile of 2-hydroxyfluorene (2-OHFlu) and trans, trans-muconic acid (t,t-MA) (p for trend<0.05 and < 0.001, respectively). The highest quartile of t,t-MA showed a significantly higher risk of DM [OR (95% CI) = 2.77 (1.74, 4.42)] and obesity [OR (95% CI) = 1.42 (1.06, 1.90)]. Urinary t,t,-MA level was positively associated with BMI [(beta (95% CI) = 0.51 (0.31, 0.71), p < 0.001] and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease index [(beta (95% CI) = 0.09 (0.06, 0.12), p < 0.001]. In conclusion, the benzene metabolites t,t-MA and PAH metabolite 2-OHFlu were associated with an increased risk of DM. Urinary biomarkers for PAHs and VOCs were positively associated with BMI in the Korean adult population. Further studies to validate these observations in other populations are warranted.

Obesity increases endometrial cancer risk and weight loss is protective, but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. We hypothesise that the immune microenvironment may influence susceptibility to malignant transformation in the endometrium. The aim of this study was to measure the impact of obesity and weight loss on the immunological landscape of the endometrium. + + METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study of women with class III obesity (body mass index, BMI >= 40 kg/m2) undergoing bariatric surgery or medically-supervised low-calorie diet. We collected blood and endometrial samples at baseline, and two and 12 months after weight loss intervention. Serum was analysed for inflammatory markers CRP, IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Multiplex immunofluorescence was used to simultaneously identify cells positive for immune markers CD68, CD56, CD3, CD8, FOXP3 and PD-1 in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded endometrial tissue sections. Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to determine whether changes in inflammatory and immune biomarkers were associated with weight loss. + + RESULTS: Forty-three women with matched serum and tissue samples at all three time points were included in the analysis. Their median age and BMI were 44 years and 52 kg/m2, respectively. Weight loss at 12 months was greater in women who received bariatric surgery (n = 37, median 63.3 kg) than low-calorie diet (n = 6, median 12.8 kg). There were significant reductions in serum CRP (p = 3.62 x 10-6, r = 0.570) and IL-6 (p = 0.0003, r = 0.459), but not TNF-alpha levels, with weight loss. Tissue immune cell densities were unchanged except for CD8+ cells, which increased significantly with weight loss (p = 0.0097, r = -0.323). Tissue CD3+ cell density correlated negatively with systemic IL-6 levels (p = 0.0376; r = -0.318). + + CONCLUSION: Weight loss is associated with reduced systemic inflammation and a recruitment of protective immune cell types to the endometrium, supporting the concept that immune surveillance may play a role in endometrial cancer prevention.

Visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue areas at the L2-L3 region and the L3-L4 region were quantified by computed tomography (n = 477). Overall and stratified (by history of gestational diabetes mellitus [GDM]) adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were fit. + + RESULTS: Alanine aminotransferase, L2-L3 VAT, and L3-L4 VAT were positively associated (hazard ratio [HR] for 1-SD increases: 1.073, p = 0.024; 1.251, p = 0.009; 1.272, p = 0.004, respectively), and adiponectin concentration was inversely associated with T2D (HR 0.762, p < 0.001). Whereas leptin concentration was not associated with T2D overall, in GDM-stratified models, a 1-SD higher leptin was positively associated with risk of T2D in women without GDM (HR: 1.126, p = 0.016) and inversely in women with a history of GDM (HR: 0.776, p = 0.013, interaction p = 0.002). + + CONCLUSIONS: Among parous women, alanine aminotransferase and VAT are positively associated with incident T2D, whereas adiponectin is inversely associated. Leptin is associated with higher risk of T2D in women with a history of GDM but a lower risk in women without a history of GDM. Copyright © 2021 The Obesity Society (TOS).

No studies have examined changes in OGTT-glucose phenotypes following lifestyle intervention among high-risk youth. + + OBJECTIVE: To examine changes in OGTT-glucose phenotypes following lifestyle intervention and to explore differences in insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function among post-intervention phenotypes. + + METHODS: Latino adolescents with obesity (n = 48, age 15.4 +/- 1.0, BMI% 98.2 +/- 1.4, female 56.3%) completed a 12-week lifestyle intervention that included weekly nutrition education and physical activity. At baseline and 12 weeks, youth completed a 2-h OGTT with glucose and insulin concentrations assessed at 0', 30', 60', 90' and 120'. Glucose concentrations during the OGTT were used to identify biomarkers, 1-h glucose, glucose response curve and time to glucose peak. Using these respective biomarkers, high-risk (1-h glucose >= 155 mg/dl, Monophasic, Late Peak) and lower-risk phenotypes (1-h glucose < 155 mg/dl, Biphasic, Early Peak) were categorized. Insulin sensitivity was estimated by whole-body insulin sensitivity index (WBISI) and beta-cell function by oral disposition index (oDI). + + RESULTS: Following intervention, the prevalence of Monophasic phenotypes decreased from 81% to 67% (p = 0.048) and 1-h glucose >= 155 mg/dl from 38% to 10% (p = 0.054). Although Late Peak phenotypes did not significantly change (from 58% to 29%, p = 0.200), Early Peak phenotypes at post-intervention demonstrated significantly higher WBISI compared to Late Peak (2.3 +/- 0.1 vs 1.7 +/- 0.2, p = 0.023). + + CONCLUSIONS: OGTT-glucose phenotypes improve following lifestyle intervention among high-risk youth. These findings further support their potential utility as clinical biomarkers to identify diabetes risk and risk reduction in youth.

The weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) between interventions were computed using a random or fixed-effects model. + + RESULTS: Six RCTs (including 1246 MS patients who had, on average, overweight/obesity) met all inclusion criteria. Interventions lasted 6 to 12 months (2-5 sessions per week). Lifestyle intervention significantly reduced C-reactive protein (WMD: -0.52 mg/ml, 95% CI: -0.72, -0.33), IL-6 (WMD: -0.50 pg/ml, 95% CI: -0.56, -0.45), and increased adiponectin (WMD: 0.81 microg/ml, 95% CI, 0.64, 0.98). Moreover, lifestyle modification significantly decreased WC (WMD: -3.12 cm, 95% CI, -4.61, -1.62). + + CONCLUSION: Our findings provide evidence that lifestyle alterations, including physical activity and diet, can lead to significant improvement in abdominal obesity, measured by WC and some inflammation markers among overweight/obese individuals with MS. Further high-quality research is needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying the effect of such interventions on this population's inflammatory markers. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

BMI was assessed at study Visit 1 (1984-1986), 2 (1995-1997), 3 (2006-2008), and 4. + + RESULTS: Median age at visit 4 was 68.7 years and 59% were women. Concentrations of cTnI were detectable in 84.1% of study participants, with a median of 2.5 (1.5-4.5 ng/L). We identified three clusters of BMI trajectories from visit 1 to 4, (1) stable normal weight, (2) stable overweight, and (3) stable obesity. Participants in clusters 2 and 3 were at increased risk of elevated concentrations of cTnI at visit 4 (odds ratio 1.27, 95% CI 1.09-1.47, and odds ratio 1.70, 95% CI 1.33-2.17, p for trend <0.001). Participants in cluster 3 had 22.0 (95% CI 14.1-29.9) higher concentrations of cTnI compared to participants in cluster 1 (p for trend <0.001). Dysregulated glucose metabolism and abdominal obesity did not influence our results. + + CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with stable overweight or obesity are at increased risk of subclinical myocardial injury, independently of glycemic dysregulation and abdominal adiposity. Our data support a direct detrimental effect of long-standing obesity on cardiovascular health. Copyright © 2021 The Authors.

The current study was performed to evaluate how vitamin D mediates the association between acrylamide hemoglobin biomarkers and obesity. Data were collected on 10,377 adults participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2006 and 2013-2014 aged >= 18 years. Obesity was assessed through body mass index and abdominal circumference measurements. Generalized linear and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression were used to estimate the association between vitamin D and acrylamide hemoglobin biomarkers, and the mediation effect of vitamin D was also discussed. After adjusting for potentially confounding factors, vitamin D had strong negative associations with serum concentrations of acrylamide hemoglobin adducts (HbAA, HbGA, and HbAA + HbGA). The RCS plots demonstrated that vitamin D was inversely and nonlinearly associated with HbAA and HbAA + HbGA while inversely and linearly associated with HbGA, and also a striking difference when vitamin D was lower than 60 nmol/L. Mediation analysis suggested that a negative correlation between acrylamide and obesity was mediated by vitamin D. The current study is expected to offer a fresh perspective on reducing the toxicity of acrylamide. Copyright © 2021.

We determined whether early changes in microRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with dysregulation of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the specific functional receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. ACE2 is a membrane-bound enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin II to angiotensin 1-7 the latter having cardioprotective and vasorelaxation effects. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of plasma samples for circulating miRNAs showed upregulation of miR-200c and miR-let-7b in otherwise healthy individuals with obesity. This was associated with significant downregulation of ACE2, a direct target for both miRNAs, in individuals with obesity. Correlation analysis confirmed a significant negative correlation between ACE2 and both the miRNAs. Studies showed that despite being the functional receptor, inhibition/downregulation of ACE2 did not reduce the severity of COVID-19 infection. In contrast, increased angiotensin II following inhibition of ACE2 may increase the severity of the disease. Taken together, our novel results identify that upregulation of miR-200c may increase the susceptibility of individuals with obesity to COVID-19. Considering miRNA are the earliest molecular regulators, the level of circulating miR-200c could be a potential biomarker in the early identification of those at the risk of severe COVID-19.

Bariatric and metabolic surgery may reduce obesity-related cardiovascular risk through tissue-specific DNA methylation changes. Among the most robust results, differential promoter methylation of ACACA, CETP, CTGF, S100A8, and S100A9 genes correlated significantly with the levels of mRNA before and after gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) in obese women. Additionally, promoter hypermethylation of NFKB1 gene was significantly associated with reduced blood pressure in obese patients after RYGB suggesting useful non-invasive biomarkers. Of note, sperm-related DNA methylation signatures of genes regulating the central control of appetite, such as MC4R, BDNF, NPY, and CR1, and other genes including FTO, CHST8, and SH2B1 were different in obese patients as compared to non-obese subjects and patients who lost weight after RYGB surgery. Importantly, transgenerational studies provided relevant evidence of the potential effect of bariatric and metabolic surgery on DNA methylation. For example, peripheral blood biospecimens isolated from siblings born from obese mothers before bariatric surgery showed different methylation signatures in the insulin receptor and leptin signaling axis as compared to siblings born from post-obese mothers who underwent surgery. This evidence suggests that bariatric and metabolic surgery of mothers may affect the epigenetic profiles of the offspring with potential implication for primary prevention of severe obesity. We update on tissue-specific epigenetic signatures as potential mechanisms underlying the restoration of metabolic health after surgery suggesting useful predictive biomarkers. Copyright © 2021.

Here we provide an additional perspective by discussing how obesity also increases OA risk by altering metabolism and inflammation. + + DESIGN: This narrative review is presented in four sections: 1) metabolic syndrome and OA, 2) metabolic biomarkers of OA, 3) evidence for dysregulated chondrocyte metabolism in OA, and 4) metabolic inflammation: joint tissue mediators and mechanisms. + + RESULTS: Metabolic syndrome and its components are strongly associated with OA. However, evidence for a causal relationship is context dependent, varying by joint, gender, diagnostic criteria, and demographics, with additional environmental and genetic interactions yet to be fully defined. Importantly, some aspects of the etiology of obesity-induced OA appear to be distinct between men and women, especially regarding the role of adipose tissue. Metabolomic analyses of serum and synovial fluid have identified potential diagnostic biomarkers of knee OA and prognostic biomarkers of disease progression. Connecting these biomarkers to cellular pathophysiology will require future in vivo studies of joint tissue metabolism. Such studies will help reveal when a metabolic process or a metabolite itself is a causal factor in disease progression. Current evidence points towards impaired chondrocyte metabolic homeostasis and metabolic-immune dysregulation as likely factors connecting obesity to the increased risk of OA. + + CONCLUSIONS: A deeper understanding of how obesity alters metabolic and inflammatory pathways in synovial joint tissues is expected to provide new therapeutic targets and an improved definition of "metabolic" and "obesity" OA phenotypes.

Recruitment of macrophages and activation of innate immunity represent the initial insult, which can be further exacerbated through secretion of chemokines and adipocytokines from activated macrophages and other cells within the adipose tissue. These events can impact adipogenesis, causing dysfunction of the adipose tissue and increased risk of insulin resistance. Various factors mediate adiposity and related insulin resistance including inflammatory and non-inflammatory factors such as pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines, adipokines and growth factors. In this review we will discuss the role of these factors in adipogenesis and development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus in the context of obesity. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that mediate adipogenesis and insulin resistance could help the development of novel therapeutic strategies for individuals at higher risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

This study aims to (1) systematic verification of HFD-induced obesity aggravates food allergy and (2) explore the correlation and molecular mechanisms of HFD-induced obesity promotes food allergy. + + METHODS: Female BALB/c mice are divided into the control group (control), the ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized group (OVA), the HFD-induced obesity group (HFD), and HFD-induced allergic obesity group (HFD + OVA). + + RESULTS: In vivo data showed that HFD feed enhance clinical symptoms and intestinal mucosa villi shed on allergic mice. Moreover, we found that HFD and OVA irritation enhanced levels of mast cell degranulation and Th2 humoral response. Additionally, Western blot analysis showed the potentiation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) remarkably reduced on intestinal in HFD and OVA group, thereby inhibiting the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB)/PPAR gamma signal the phosphorylation of NF-kappaB P65. + + CONCLUSIONS: Overall, our results suggest that HFD-induced obesity is a potential risk factor for food allergy, which related to intestinal barrier destruction and inflammation through the PPAR gamma/NF-kappaB signaling pathway.

The increasing ratio of time spent in sedentary activities to that spent performing physically demanding tasks increases the trends to obesity and susceptibility to these risk factors. Dyslipidemia is the foundation of atherosclerotic buildup and lipoproteins serve as cofactors to the inflammatory processes that destabilize plaques. Increasing cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength helps attenuate concentrations of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), such as LDL cholesterol, and increase levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, as well as reduce proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 expression. Effects of physical activity on the inflammatory pathways of atherosclerosis, specifically C-reactive protein, are more closely related to reducing the levels of adiposity in tandem with increasing fitness, than with exercise training alone. The purpose of this review is to describe the physiology of dyslipidemia and relate it to CVD and exercise therapies. Copyright © 2022.

LLF580 lowered serum triglycerides by 54% (least square mean placebo adjusted change from baseline), total cholesterol 7%, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol 12%, and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol 36% compared with placebo (all P < 0.001) over 12 weeks. Substantial reduction of liver fat of 52% over placebo (P < 0.001) was also demonstrated in the setting of improved liver function tests including alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase, the composite enhanced liver fibrosis score, and N-terminal type III collagen propeptide (all P < 0.05). Insulin and C-peptide levels and insulin resistance by homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance were all lower, and adiponectin higher with LLF580 treatment compared with placebo, whereas fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin were unchanged. Reductions in biomarkers of bone formation without differences in markers of bone resorption were observed. LLF580 was generally safe and well tolerated, except for higher incidence of generally mild to moderate gastrointestinal adverse effects. + + CONCLUSIONS: In obese, mildly hypertriglyceridemic adults, LLF580 was generally safe and demonstrated beneficial effects on serum lipids, liver fat, and biomarkers of liver injury, suggesting it may be effective for treatment of select metabolic disorders including hypertriglyceridemia and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Assessments of longer term safety and efficacy are warranted. + + CLINICALTRIALS.GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT03466203. Copyright © The Author(s) 2021.

Transcriptome profiles obtained with QuantSeq sequencing were benchmarked against Illumina RNAseq. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to further confirm associations. Cell specificity was assessed using freshly isolated cells and THP-1 cell line. + + RESULTS: During LCD, 5 modules were found, of which 3 included at least 1 bioclinical variable. Change in body mass index (BMI) connected with changes in mRNA level of genes with inflammatory response signature. In this module, change in BMI was negatively associated with changes in expression of genes encoding secreted protein (GDF15, CCL3, and SPP1). Through all phases of the DI, change in GDF15 was connected to changes in SPP1, CCL3, LIPA and CD68. Further characterization showed that these genes were specific to macrophages (with LIPA, CD68 and GDF15 expressed in anti-inflammatory macrophages) and GDF15 also expressed in preadipocytes. + + CONCLUSION: Network analyses identified a novel AT feature with GDF15 upregulated with calorie restriction induced weight loss, concomitantly to macrophage markers. In AT, GDF15 was expressed in preadipocytes and macrophages where it was a hallmark of anti-inflammatory cells. Copyright © The Author(s) 2021.

The FMI, A/G fat ratio, and relative skeletal muscle mass index were estimated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The Bone-Specific Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to assess: (a) BLSpast (age 1 until 12 months before the study visit), (b) BLScurrent (last 12 months), and (c) BLStotal (average of [a] and [b]) scores. Separate multiple linear regression analysis of (a) age, FMI, and relative skeletal muscle mass index and (b) age, height, and A/G fat ratio versus BLS revealed that FMI and A/G fat ratio were negatively associated with BLSpast and BLStotal (p < .05) in women only. Adiposity and, specifically, central adiposity is negatively related to bone-loading physical activity in middle-aged and older women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med21&DO=10.1123%2fjapa.2020-0200 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Singh&issn=1063-8652&title=Journal+of+Aging+%26+Physical+Activity&atitle=Sex-Specific+Associations+Between+Bone-Loading+Score+and+Adiposity+Markers+in+Middle-Aged+and+Older+Adults.&volume=30&issue=1&spage=82&epage=88&date=2022&doi=10.1123%2Fjapa.2020-0200&pmid=34388702&sid=OVID:medline + +<632> +Unique Identifier + 34369225 +Title + Association of Sugar Intake with Inflammation- and Angiogenesis-Related Biomarkers in Newly Diagnosed Colorectal Cancer Patients. +Source + Nutrition & Cancer. 74(5):1636-1643, 2022. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Stewart KL; Gigic B; Himbert C; Warby CA; Ose J; Lin T; Schrotz-King P; Boehm J; Jordan KC; Metos J; Schneider M; Figueiredo JC; Li CI; Shibata D; Siegel E; Toriola AT; Hardikar S; Ulrich CM +Author NameID + Jordan, Kristine C; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0688-6514 + Metos, Julie; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4531-7725 +Authors Full Name + Stewart, Kelly L; Gigic, Biljana; Himbert, Caroline; Warby, Christy A; Ose, Jennifer; Lin, Tengda; Schrotz-King, Petra; Boehm, Jurgen; Jordan, Kristine C; Metos, Julie; Schneider, Martin; Figueiredo, Jane C; Li, Christopher I; Shibata, David; Siegel, Erin; Toriola, Adetunji T; Hardikar, Sheetal; Ulrich, Cornelia M. +Institution + Stewart, Kelly L.

We sought to investigate inflammation and angiogenesis as underlying mechanisms behind increased sugar intake and worse CRC outcomes. Pre-surgery serum samples were obtained from 191 patients diagnosed with primary invasive stage I-IV CRC. Biomarkers of inflammation (CRP, SAA, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, TNFalpha) and angiogenesis (VEGFA, VEGFD, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1) were analyzed (Meso-Scale-Discovery). Fructose, glucose, sucrose, and total sugar intake (calories/day, % total calories) were assessed by FFQ. Pearson's correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were performed. Patients were on average 64 years old, 64% were male, the majority was diagnosed with stage II-III (58%) cancers, and 67% were either overweight or obese. Among normal-weight individuals (BMI <25 kg/m2), we observed a significant inverse association between VEGFD and any type of sugar intake in cal/day (sucrose: p = 0.01, glucose and fructose: p < 0.001) and MCP-1 and fructose intake (p = 0.05). The magnitude of reduction in VEGF ranged between -1.24 for sucrose to 4.49 for glucose intake, and -2.64 for fructose intake for MCP-1 levels. Sugar intake was associated with some inflammation or angiogenesis biomarkers, among CRC patients; differences were observed by adiposity that warrant further investigation.Supplemental data for this article is available online at at 10.1080/01635581.2021.1957133. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 30237-26-4 (Fructose). 57-50-1 (Sucrose).

This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of synbiotic supplementation on serum concentrations of IL-10, TGF-beta, VEGF, adiponectin, and edema volume among overweight or obese BCSs with lymphedema following a low-calorie diet (LCD). + + METHOD: In a randomized double-blind, controlled clinical trial, 88 obese and overweight BCSs women were randomized to synbiotic supplement (n = 44) or placebo (n = 44) groups and both groups followed an LCD for 10 weeks. Pre- and post-intervention comparisons were made regarding the anti-inflammatory markers which included IL-10, TGF-beta, VEGF, adiponectin, edema volume, and anthropometric measurements. Also, the same factors were analyzed to find inter-group disparities. + + RESULTS: There were no significant differences among participants in the baseline, except for IL-10 and adiponectin. Post-intervention, no significant differences were observed regarding the anti-inflammatory markers, including IL-10, VEGF, adiponectin, and TGF-beta between the groups. After 10 weeks of intervention edema volume significantly decreased in the synbiotic group; additionally, anthropometric measurements (body weight, BMI, body fat percent, and WC) decreased in both groups significantly (P < 0.001 and P < 0.005; respectively). + + CONCLUSION: Synbiotic supplementation coupled with an LCD in a 10-week intervention had beneficial effects on increasing the serum TGF-beta, IL-10, and adiponectin levels in women with BCRL. It also reduced arm lymphedema volume. Therefore, synbiotic supplementation can be effective in improving health status in BCRL patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Anti-Inflammatory Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Transforming Growth Factor beta). 0 (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A). 130068-27-8 (Interleukin-10). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This research was carried out in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement guidelines. 17 eligible articles were included in the final quantitative analysis. Current study revealed that tocotrienol consumption was not associated with CRP, WC, MDA, BMI, IL-6, HbA1C, ALT, AST, creatinine TNF-alpha, FPG, BW, DBP, and SBP. We did observe an overall increase in BW (SMD: 0.063 kg, 95% CI: -0.200, 0.327, p = 0.637) and DBP (SMD: 0.249 mmHg, 95% CI: 0.053, 0.446, p = 0.013). In addition, a significant reduction in SBP was observed (SMD: -0.616 mmHg, 95% CI: -1.123, -0.110, p = 0.017). In summary, our meta-analysis revealed that tocotrienol consumption was associated with increase in BW and DBP and decrease in SBP. Significant associations were not observed for other outcomes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Tocotrienols). IY9XDZ35W2 (Glucose). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Therefore, the present systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to evaluate the effect of brown rice on adiposity indices, lipid profile, and glycemic markers in adult subjects compared to white rice. In this study, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Sciences, and Embase databases were comprehensively searched until March 2021. Thirteen RCTs were selected and then included in the meta-analysis. As reported, brown rice significantly reduced weight by -1.63 kg (95% CI: -2.15 to -1.11, I2=97%, n = 6), body mass index (BMI) by -0.58 kg/m2 (95% CI: -0.78 to -0.37, I2=96%, n = 6), and waist circumference by -2.56 cm (95% CI: -4.86 to -0.26, I2=88%, n = 5) compared with white rice. Moreover, it had no significant effect on lipid profile and glycemic markers. Besides, pre-germinated brown rice significantly declined weight (-1.75 kg, 95% CI: -2.70 to -0.81, I2=99%, n = 4), total cholesterol (-24.22 mg/dl, 95% CI: -33.03 to -15.41, I2=78%, n = 5), triglyceride (TG) (-43.28 mg/dl, 95% CI: -74.05 to -12.50, I2=90%, n = 5), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (-20.05 mg/dl, 95% CI: -29.57 to -10.52, I2=71%, n = 5), and fasting blood glucose (FBG) (-15.83 mg/dl, 95% CI: -25.20 to -6.46, I2=91%, n = 5). In accordance with Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach, the certainly of the included evidence was low and very low. The results of the present study indicate that, brown rice has anti-obesity effects in comparison with white rice; however, it has no beneficial effects on lipid profile and glycemic markers. Contrary to brown rice, it was shown that, pre-germinated brown rice significantly decreases body weight and improves lipid profile and FBG levels compared to white rice. Accordingly, our results indicate that, pre-germinated brown rice has better functional effects on promoting lipid profile and FBG compared to brown rice. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Lipoproteins, LDL). 0 (Triglycerides). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We report results from a large prospective study of Mexican adults with high levels of abdominal adiposity. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 159 755 adults aged >=35 years from Mexico City were enrolled in a prospective study and followed for 16 years. Cox regression, adjusted for confounders, yielded mortality rate ratios (RRs) associated with three markers of abdominal adiposity (waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, and waist-height ratio) and one marker of gluteo-femoral adiposity (hip circumference) for cause-specific mortality before age 75 years. To reduce reverse causality, deaths in the first 5 years of follow-up and participants with diabetes or other prior chronic disease were excluded. Among 113 163 participants without prior disease and aged 35-74 years at recruitment, all adiposity markers were positively associated with vascular-metabolic mortality. Comparing the top versus bottom tenth of the sex-specific distributions, the vascular-metabolic mortality RRs at ages 40-74 years were 2.32 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.84-2.94] for waist circumference, 2.22 (1.71-2.88) for the waist-hip ratio, 2.63 (2.06-3.36) for the waist-height ratio, and 1.58 (1.29-1.93) for hip circumference. The RRs corresponding to each standard deviation (SD) higher usual levels of these adiposity markers were 1.34 (95% CI 1.27-1.41), 1.31 (1.23-1.39), 1.38 (1.31-1.45), and 1.18 (1.13-1.24), respectively. For the markers of abdominal adiposity, the RRs did not change much after further adjustment for other adiposity markers, but for hip circumference the association was reversed; given body mass index and waist circumference, the RR for vascular-metabolic mortality for each one SD higher usual hip circumference was 0.80 (0.75-0.86). + + CONCLUSIONS: In this study of Mexican adults, abdominal adiposity (and in particular the waist-height ratio) was strongly and positively associated with vascular-metabolic mortality.

We therefore performed a systematic meta-analysis to compare the effect of EX vs. CR and EX + CR vs. CR on inflammation markers in overweight and obese individuals. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and the Cochrane were searched up to April 2020 for EX vs. CR or EX + CR vs. CR interventions studies on inflammatory makers i.e. CRP, IL-6 and TNF-alpha in overweight and obese individuals. Standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Thirty two articles (reporting 38 trials) involving 2108 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Based on studies that directly compared EX and CR, there were no evidence for an effect of EX on IL-6 (p = 0.20) and TNF-alpha (p = 0.58), when compared with a CR. However, when compared to EX, CR has a statistically greater benefit on CRP (p = 0.01). In those studies, directly comparing EX + CR and CR, EX + CR caused a larger decrease in TNF-alpha (p = 0.002) and IL-6 (p = 0.02) and tended to decrease CRP (p = 0.06) when compared with CR. These results suggest that a combination of EX and CR may be more effective than CR alone at reducing inflammatory cytokines and CRP in overweight and obese individuals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, the nature of EVs shed by adipose tissue (AT) and their role in obesity is still very limited. Here, we isolated human morbid obese visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) whole AT shed EVs from donors submitted to bariatric surgery to characterize their protein cargo by qualitative and quantitative/SWATH mass spectrometry analysis. We identified 574 different proteins shed by morbid obese VAT and 401 proteins in those from SAT, establishing the first obese AT EV proteome reference map. Only 50% of identified proteins in VAT vesicles were common to those in SAT; additionally, EVs shed by obese VAT showed more AT and obesity-related adipokines than SAT. Functional classification shows that obese VAT vesicles exhibit an enrichment of proteins implicated in AT inflammation and insulin resistance such as TGFBI, CAVN1, CD14, mimecan, thrombospondin-1, FABP-4 or AHNAK. Selected candidate biomarkers from the quantitative-SWATH analysis were validated in EVs from independent morbid obese and from moderate obese to lean individuals showing that morbid obese VAT vesicles are characterized by a diminution of syntenin 1 and the elevation of TGFBI and mimecan. Interestingly, TGFBI and mimecan containing vesicles could be detected and quantified at circulating level in plasma. Thus, a significant elevation of -TGFBI-EVs was detected on those obese patients with a history of T2D compared to nondiabetic, and an augmentation of mimecan-EVs in obese plasma compared to those in healthy lean individuals. Thus, we conclude that obese AT release functional EVs carrying AT and obesity candidate biomarkers which vary regarding the AT of origin. Our findings suggest that circulating EV-TGFBI may facilitate monitoring T2D status in obese patients, and EV-mimecan may be useful to track adiposity, and more precisely, visceral obesity.

However, knowledge on the interactive influence of these dietary components on cognitive function is sparse. + + DESIGN: 80 middle-aged adults with overweight and obesity (Body Mass Index: (BMI) >=25.0 kg/m2), completed 7-day diet records, venous blood draws, heterochromatic flicker photometry, assessment of intelligence quotient (IQ), and a cognitive flexibility task while undergoing electroencephalographic recording for event-related potential (ERP) extraction. Multiplicative interaction terms and hierarchical linear regressions, controlling for age, BMI, sex, annual household income, and IQ were utilized to assess independent and interactive contributions of dietary and biomarker data on Switch task outcomes. + + RESULTS: Higher intake of lutein+zeaxanthin and choline was associated interactively, but not independently, with faster reaction time (RT), after controlling for pertinent covariates. Dietary intake of lutein+zeaxanthin and choline was associated with serum lutein concentrations, but not with plasma choline metabolites nor macular pigmentation. Plasma phosphatidylcholine (PC) concentrations were associated with higher accuracy in Switch trials, while no other biomarkers were associated with cognitive outcomes. Dietary intake and biomarker data were not related to the N2 nor P3 ERP component. + + CONCLUSIONS: Among a sample of adults with overweight and obesity, greater intake of choline and lutein+zeaxanthin was associated with faster performance on a cognitive flexibility task. Future work examining methods of increasing consumption of both of these dietary components as a possible means of improving or maintaining cognitive flexibility among adults with overweight and obesity is therefore warranted. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Zeaxanthins).

We aimed to assess whether serum GDF15 and adipose tissue GDF15 expression can differentiate between obese pre-diabetes and T2DM and control populations. + + METHODOLOGY: We recruited 156 individuals including 73 type 2 diabetes, 30 pre-diabetes, and 53 healthy controls. Clinical history, anthropometric measurements and biochemical profiling were taken. Insulin resistance indices were calculated following HOMA models. Serum GDF15 was measured by sandwich ELISA. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) expression of GDF15 was observed in 17 T2DM patients and 29 controls using SYBR Green chemistry in RT-PCR using GAPDH as the housekeeping gene. The data were analyzed on R programming platform using RStudio. + + RESULTS: Serum GDF15 was significantly higher (p<0.001) in T2DM subjects (median 1445.47 pg/mL) compared to pre-diabetes (627.85 pg/mL) and healthy controls (609.01 pg/mL). Using the DELTADELTACt method, the VAT GDF15 expression was 1.54 fold and 1.57 fold upregulated in T2DM (n=17) compared to control subjects (n=29), and obese (n=12) compared to non-obese (n=34)subjects, respectively. The optimal cut-off point following Youden's index method was found to be 868.09 pg/mL. ROC curve analysis revealed that serum GDF15 had a sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) of 90.41%, 79.52%, and 0.892 respectively. GDF15 levels were significantly associated with age, BMI, HbA1c, fasting blood sugar, and insulin resistance indices. + + CONCLUSION: Hence, serum GDF15 is a biomarker for T2DM patients in our study population from Western India. However, larger prospective cohorts are necessary to validate this claim.

We hypothesize that obesity will negatively impact intratesticular testosterone levels when compared to those of non-obese men. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of men with symptoms of testosterone deficiency and male infertility between July 2018 and April 2020 to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and age with intratesticular testosterone (using serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) as a biomarker), and between BMI with LH. Univariable and multiple linear regression analysis were performed using confounding variables to predict 17-OHP and testosterone. A total of 340 men were selected. Median age was 38 [33-44] years, BMI 27.8 [25.4-31.1] kg/m2, serum testosterone 363 [256.3-469.6] ng/dl, 17-OHP 60.5 [39.3-85.8] ng/dl, and LH 4.2 [2.8-5.7] mIU/ml. Older and obese men had lower testosterone compared to younger and non-obese men. Interestingly, increasing age and higher BMI were associated with lower 17-OHP (p < 0.001). Contrarily, age and BMI were not associated with LH levels (p = 0.478). In conclusion, obesity and aging negatively affected 17-OHP independent of LH, suggesting a possible direct effect on testicular function, rather than a secondary effect from a decline in pituitary signaling.

The median and inter-quartile range of weight, body mass index (BMI) and the obesity rate (BMI >= 30 kg/m2) were compared. Discriminatory power was assessed by logistic regression. Gaussian modeling was used to predict the additional spina bifida detection when weight was included as a screening marker risk in addition to first trimester biparietal diameter (BPD) and serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). + + RESULTS: There were 97 cases and 274 controls. The distribution of maternal weight was increased in cases by 3 kg, on average, about 5% (p < .05); BMI was increased about 8% (p < .005). Some 15% of cases were obese compared with 6.9% of controls (p < .02). In logistic regression including BMI and maternal age, 29% cases and 9.8% controls had high risk of spina bifida. Modeling predicted that incorporating weight would increase the detection rate compared with BPD and AFP alone by 3% and BMI would increase it by 4%. + + CONCLUSION: Incorporating maternal weight into first trimester spina bifida screening protocols will increase detection. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (alpha-Fetoproteins). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med21&DO=10.1080%2f14767058.2020.1818217 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Arbuzova&issn=1476-4954&title=Journal+of+Maternal-Fetal+%26+Neonatal+Medicine&atitle=Maternal+weight+as+an+additional+first+trimester+spina+bifida+screening+marker.&volume=35&issue=17&spage=3353&epage=3358&date=2022&doi=10.1080%2F14767058.2020.1818217&pmid=32928009&sid=OVID:medline + +<644> +Unique Identifier + 32536220 +Title + Circulating mir-21 and mir-146a are associated with increased cytokines and CD36 in Algerian obese male participants. +Source + Archives of Physiology & Biochemistry. 128(6):1461-1466, 2022 Dec. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Benbaibeche H; Hichami A; Oudjit B; Haffaf EM; Kacimi G; Koceir EA; Khan NA +Authors Full Name + Benbaibeche, Hassiba; Hichami, Aziz; Oudjit, Brahim; Haffaf, El Mahdi; Kacimi, Ghouti; Koceir, Elhadj Ahmed; Khan, Naim Akhtar. +Institution + Benbaibeche, Hassiba.

CD36 is potential biomarker of obesity and metabolic syndrome. This study investigates the concentration of miR-146a and miR-21 and CD 36 in blood samples of obese and healthy young participants. We assessed the association of mir-146a and mir-21 with inflammatory states in Algerian young participants. + + METHODS: Our study included male obese, without co-morbidities (n = 29), and healthy participants (n = 13). miRNA and CD36 expression was measured by real-time RT-PCR, respectively, in serum and blood. + + RESULTS: miR-146a and miR-21 concentrations were significantly decreased; however, CD36 expression was increased in obese subjects. Interestingly, miR-146a and miR-21 concentrations were negatively correlated to IL-6, TNF-alpha, and CD36 in obese participants. + + CONCLUSION: We demonstrate that the downregulation of miR-146a and miR-21 was associated with upregulation of inflammatory state and increased CD36 expression in obese participants. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (MIRN21 microRNA, human). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 0 (MIRN146 microRNA, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2022 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med21&DO=10.1080%2f13813455.2020.1775655 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Benbaibeche&issn=1381-3455&title=Archives+of+Physiology+%26+Biochemistry&atitle=Circulating+mir-21+and+mir-146a+are+associated+with+increased+cytokines+and+CD36+in+Algerian+obese+male+participants.&volume=128&issue=6&spage=1461&epage=1466&date=2022&doi=10.1080%2F13813455.2020.1775655&pmid=32536220&sid=OVID:medline + +<645> +Unique Identifier + 32407803 +Title + Does light-intensity physical activity moderate the relationship between sitting time and adiposity markers in adolescents?. +Source + Journal of Sport & Health Science. 11(5):613-619, 2022 09. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Contardo Ayala AM; Salmon J; Dunstan DW; Arundell L; Timperio A +Authors Full Name + Contardo Ayala, Ana Maria; Salmon, Jo; Dunstan, David W; Arundell, Lauren; Timperio, Anna. +Institution + Contardo Ayala, Ana Maria.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine whether device-measured LIPA and MVPA moderate the associations between objectively measured sitting time and adiposity markers (body mass index (BMI)) and waist circumference (WC)) among adolescents. + + METHODS: This study included accelerometer and inclinometer data obtained from 219 adolescents (age=14.9 +/- 1.6 years, mean +/- SD), collected during 2014 and 2015 in Melbourne, Australia. ActiGraph GT3X accelerometers were used to determine time spent in total-LIPA (101 counts/min to 3.99 metabolic equivalents (METs)) was dichotomized into low-LIPA (101-799 counts/min) and high LIPA (800 counts/min to 3.99 METs), and MVPA (>= 4 METs). The average time spent sitting was obtained from activPAL inclinometers. Anthropometric measures were assessed by trained staff. Interactions between sitting and total-LIPA, low-LIPA, high-LIPA, and MVPA on BMI z-score (zBMI) and WC z-score (zWC), respectively, were examined using linear regression, adjusting for age and sex; and moderation by total-LIPA, low-LIPA, high-LIPA, and MVPA were examined by adding interaction terms. Significant interaction effects were probed by comparing associations at the mean and at 1 SD below and above the mean. + + RESULTS: Total-LIPA significantly moderated the association between sitting time and zBMI, and low-LIPA significantly moderated the association between sitting time and zBMI and zWC. No other associations were found for total-LIPA, high-LIPA, or MVPA. Specifically, at high levels of total-LIPA (+1 SD), there is a negative association between sitting time and zBMI. In addition, at high levels of low-LIPA (+1 SD), there is a negative association between sitting time and zBMI and zWC. + + CONCLUSION: Associations between sitting and adiposity depended on time spent in total-LIPA and low-LIPA, but not high-LIPA or MVPA. Results suggest that increasing time spent in LIPA may provide protection from the deleterious effects of sitting on adiposity markers among adolescents. Experimental evidence is needed to support these conclusions. Copyright © 2020.

Young adult BMI and WC were associated with later-life incident diabetes after controlling for later-life exposures [hazard ratios (HR) 1.99 for BMI >= 30 kg/m2 and 2.13 for WC > 88cm (women)/>102cm (men) compared to normal ranges]. Young adult homeostatic model of insulin resistance mediated 49% and 44% of the association between BMI and WC with later-life incident diabetes. High-density lipoproteins and triglycerides mediated a smaller proportion of these associations. + + CONCLUSIONS: Elevated BMI and WC during young adulthood were independently associated with later-life incident diabetes. Insulin resistance may be a key mediator. Copyright © The Author(s) 2021. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Endocrine Society. All rights reserved.

Among people without obesity at baseline, multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the association between baseline levels of NT-proBNP and incident obesity. A multivariable linear regression model was used to examine the association between changes in NT-proBNP (visit 2 serum and visit 4 plasma samples) and changes in weight. + + RESULTS: The prevalence of obesity increased from 28% to 35% in the 6-year follow-up period. Compared with individuals in the highest NT-proBNP quartile, those in the lowest were more likely to have obesity at baseline (odds ratio 1.25; 95% CI: 1.08-1.45) and, among people who did not have obesity at baseline, were more likely to develop obesity at follow-up (odds ratio 1.35; 95% CI: 1.07-1.69). Changes in NT-proBNP were inversely associated with weight change. + + CONCLUSIONS: In this prospective study, lower levels of NT-proBNP were associated with higher risk of obesity, and changes in NT-proBNP were inversely associated with changes in weight.

The composition of skeletal muscle fiber type affects systemic energy expenditures, and perturbations in metabolic homeostasis contribute to the onset of obesity and other metabolic dysfunctions. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to play critical roles in diverse cellular processes and diseases, including human cancers; however, the functional importance of lncRNAs in muscle performance, energy balance, and obesity remains elusive. We previously reported that the lncRNA H19 regulates the poly-ubiquitination and protein stability of dystrophin (DMD) in muscular dystrophy. + + METHODS: Here, we identified mouse/human H19-interacting proteins using mouse/human skeletal muscle tissues and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Human induced pluripotent stem-derived skeletal muscle cells (iPSC-SkMC) from a healthy donor and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) patients were utilized to study DMD post-translational modifications and associated proteins. We identified a gain-of-function (GOF) mutant of H19 and characterized the effects on myoblast differentiation and fusion to myotubes using iPSCs. We then conjugated H19 RNA gain-of-function oligonucleotides (Rgof) with the skeletal muscle enrichment peptide agrin (referred to as AGR-H19-Rgof) and evaluated AGR-H19-Rgof's effects on skeletal muscle performance using wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 J mice and its anti-obesity effects using high-fat diet (HFD)- and leptin deficiency-induced obese mouse models. + + RESULTS: We demonstrated that both human and mouse H19 associated with DMD and that the H19 GOF exhibited enhanced interaction with DMD compared to WT H19. DMD was found to associate with serine/threonine-protein kinase MRCK alpha (MRCKalpha) and alpha-synuclein (SNCA) in iPSC-SkMC derived from BMD patients. Inhibition of MRCKalpha and SNCA-mediated phosphorylation of DMD antagonized the interaction between H19 and DMD. These signaling events led to improved skeletal muscle cell differentiation and myotube fusion. The administration of AGR-H19-Rgof improved the muscle mass, muscle performance, and base metabolic rate of WT mice. Furthermore, mice treated with AGR-H19-Rgof exhibited resistance to HFD- or leptin deficiency-induced obesity. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggested the functional importance of the H19 GOF mutant in enhancing muscle performance and anti-obesity effects.

We aimed to evaluate their association by sex in large-scale study. Data were obtained from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) from 1991 to 2015. Latent class trajectory analysis (LCTA) was used to capture BMI change trajectories. Hazard risks (HRs) were estimated from Cox proportion hazard regression. Among 14,262 participants (mean age, 38.8; 47.8% men), 5138 hypertension occurred (2687 men and 2451 women) occurred during a mean follow-up 9.6 years. Four body mass trajectory groups were identified as BMI loss, stable, moderate and substantial gain. Appropriately half of participants (48.0%) followed 1 of the 2 BMI gain trajectories, where BMI increased at least 3 kg/m2 overtime. Compared with participants with stable BMI, those gaining BMI substantially had higher risk of hypertension by 65% (HR 1.65, 95% CI 1.45-1.86) in male and 83% (HR 1.83, 95% CI 1.58-2.12) in female. The HRs in BMI loss patterns were 0.74 (0.62-0.89) in men and 0.87 (0.75-1.00) in women. Our findings imply that majority of Chinese adults transited up to a higher BMI level during follow-up. Avoiding excessive weight gain and maintaining stable weight might be important for hypertension prevention. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Due to related disturbances of the maternal metabolism during the periconceptional period and pregnancy, children bear an increased risk for future diseases. It is well known that an aberrant intrauterine environment caused by elevated maternal glucose levels is related to elevated risks for increased birth weights and metabolic disorders in later life, such as obesity or type 2 diabetes. The complexity of disturbances induced by maternal diabetes, with multiple underlying mechanisms, makes early diagnosis or prevention a challenging task. Omics technologies allowing holistic quantification of several classes of molecules from biological fluids, cells, or tissues are powerful tools to systematically investigate the effects of maternal diabetes on the offspring in an unbiased manner. Differentially abundant molecules or distinct molecular profiles may serve as diagnostic biomarkers, which may also support the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies. In this review, we summarize key findings from state-of-the-art Omics studies addressing the impact of maternal diabetes on offspring health. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Low insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels have been proven to be associated with many traditional cardiovascular risk factors, but it still remains controversial with the relationship between IGF-1 and insulin resistance. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between IGF-1 and insulin resistance in obese prepubertal boys. We used the whole-body insulin sensitivity index (WBISI) to represent insulin resistance. 70 obese prepubertal boys were included in the study, and the obese subjects were divided into two groups by using 1.285 as a threshold value for WBISI. Clinical examination and laboratory examinations were assessed for all participants. Among obese boys, the group of children with WBISI <= 1.285 had lower IGF-1 standard deviation scores (SDS) (p = 0.021) than the WBISI > 1.285 group. The results of multiple linear analyses show that lg WBISI was positively correlated with IGF-1 SDS (p = 0.031) after adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors. IGF-1 SDS was negatively associated with insulin resistance in obese prepubertal boys, independent of other traditional cardiovascular disease risk markers.

Breast white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation, which is commonly found in women with excess body fat, is also associated with increased breast cancer risk. Both local and systemic effects are probably important for explaining the link between excess body fat, adipose inflammation and breast cancer. The first goal of this cross-sectional study of 196 women was to carry out transcriptome profiling to define the molecular changes that occur in the breast related to excess body fat and WAT inflammation. A second objective was to determine if commonly measured blood biomarkers of risk and prognosis reflect molecular changes in the breast. Breast WAT inflammation was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Bulk RNA-sequencing was carried out to assess gene expression in non-tumorous breast. Obesity and WAT inflammation were associated with a large number of differentially expressed genes and changes in multiple pathways linked to the development and progression of breast cancer. Altered pathways included inflammatory response, complement, KRAS signaling, tumor necrosis factor alpha signaling via NFkB, interleukin (IL)6-JAK-STAT3 signaling, epithelial mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, interferon gamma response and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta signaling. Increased expression of several drug targets such as aromatase, TGF-beta1, IDO-1 and PD-1 were observed. Levels of various blood biomarkers including high sensitivity C-reactive protein, IL6, leptin, adiponectin, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and insulin were altered and correlated with molecular changes in the breast. Collectively, this study helps to explain both the link between obesity and breast cancer and the utility of blood biomarkers for determining risk and prognosis. Copyright © The Author(s) 2021.

VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor) signaling is implicated in edema. This study investigated whether obesity impacts VEGF signaling and brain edema, as well as whether VEGF inhibition alters stroke outcome in obese subjects. + + Methods: High-fat diet-induced obese mice were subjected to a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. VEGF-A and VEGFR2 (receptor) expression, infarct volume, and swelling were measured 3 days post-middle cerebral artery occlusion. To validate the effect of an anti-VEGF strategy, we used aflibercept, a fusion protein that has a VEGF-binding domain and acts as a decoy receptor, in human umbilical vein endothelial cells stimulated with rVEGF (recombinant VEGF; 50 ng/mL) for permeability and tube formation. In vivo, aflibercept (10 mg/kg) or IgG control was administered in obese mice 3 hours after transient 30 minutes middle cerebral artery occlusion. Blood-brain barrier integrity was assessed by IgG staining and dextran extravasation in the postischemic brain. A separate cohort of nonobese (lean) mice was subjected to 40 minutes middle cerebral artery occlusion to test the effect of aflibercept on malignant infarction. + + Results: Compared with lean mice, obese mice had increased mortality, infarct volume, swelling, and blood-brain barrier disruption. These outcomes were also associated with increased VEGF-A and VEGFR2 expression. Aflibercept reduced VEGF-A-stimulated permeability and tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Compared with the IgG-treated controls, mice treated with aflibercept had reduced mortality rates (40% versus 17%), hemorrhagic transformation (43% versus 27%), and brain swelling (28% versus 18%), although the infarct size was similar. In nonobese mice with large stroke, aflibercept neither improved nor exacerbated stroke outcomes. + + Conclusions: The study demonstrates that aflibercept selectively attenuates stroke-induced brain edema and vascular permeability in obese mice. These findings suggest the repurposing of aflibercept to reduce obesity-enhanced brain edema in acute stroke. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Angiogenesis Inhibitors). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Recombinant Fusion Proteins). 0 (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A). 0 (vascular endothelial growth factor A, mouse). 15C2VL427D (aflibercept).

The elements of metabolic syndrome in an aging society are currently being researched. Atherosclerosis is a slow process in which the first symptoms may be observed after many years. The mechanisms underlying the progression of atherosclerosis are oxidative stress and inflammation. Inflammation and oxidative stress are associated with the increased incidence of metabolic syndrome. Taking the above into consideration, metabolic syndrome is thought to be a clinical equivalent of atherosclerosis. + + AIM: The aim of this paper is to review the impact of the interplay of oxidant-antioxidant and inflammation markers in metabolic syndrome in general as well as its components in the pathophysiology which underlies development of atherosclerosis in elderly individuals. + + METHODS: A systematic scan of online resources designed for elderly (>=65 years) published from 2005 to the end of 2020 were reviewed. This was supplemented with grey literature and then all resources were narratively analyzed. The analysis included the following terms: "atherosclerosis or metabolic syndrome" and "oxidative stress or inflammation" and "elderly" to find reports of atherosclerotic disease from asymptomatic to life-threatening among the elderly population with metabolic syndrome . + + RESULTS: The work summarizes articles that were applicable to this study, including systematic reviews, qualitative studies and opinion pieces. Current knowledge focuses on monitoring the inflammation and oxidant-antioxidant imbalance in disentangling atherosclerosis in patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. The population-based studies described inflammation, increased oxidative stress and weak antioxidant defense systems as the mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis development. Moreover, there are discussions that these targets could potentially be a point of intervention to reduce the development of atherosclerosis in the elderly, especially those with altered glucose and lipid metabolism. Specific markers may be used as an approach for the prevention and lifestyle modification of atherosclerotic disease in such population. + + CONCLUSION: Metabolic syndrome and its components are important contributors in the progression of atherosclerotic disease in the elderly population but constant efforts should be made to broaden our knowledge of elderly groups who are the most susceptible for the development of atherosclerosis complications.

Adult ZDF rats were segregated into four groups: lean non-diabetic rats (L group), obese diabetic rats untreated (C group), and those treated with the BB at two doses (500 and 700 mg/kg body weight, respectively, B1 and B2 groups) for 10 weeks. Significantly reduced levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride were recorded in the B2 group versus the C group. In both BB-treated groups, significantly increased relative volume of trabecular bone and trabecular thickness, enhanced density of secondary osteons, accelerated periosteal bone apposition, and improved blood flow were observed. A positive effect of higher dose of BB on femoral weight and cortical bone thickness was also demonstrated. Our results suggest a promising potential of BB to ameliorate T2DM-related complications associated with lipid and bone damages. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). 9009-62-5 (Propolis). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fmolecules26092616 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Martiniakova&issn=1420-3049&title=Molecules&atitle=Bee+Bread+Can+Alleviate+Lipid+Abnormalities+and+Impaired+Bone+Morphology+in+Obese+Zucker+Diabetic+Rats.&volume=26&issue=9&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fmolecules26092616&pmid=33947088&sid=OVID:medline + +<656> +Unique Identifier + 34543281 +Title + The blood metabolome of incident kidney cancer: A case-control study nested within the MetKid consortium. +Source + PLoS Medicine / Public Library of Science. 18(9):e1003786, 2021 09. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Guida F; Tan VY; Corbin LJ; Smith-Byrne K; Alcala K; Langenberg C; Stewart ID; Butterworth AS; Surendran P; Achaintre D; Adamski J; Amiano P; Bergmann MM; Bull CJ; Dahm CC; Gicquiau A; Giles GG; Gunter MJ; Haller T; Langhammer A; Larose TL; Ljungberg B; Metspalu A; Milne RL; Muller DC; Nost TH; Pettersen Sorgjerd E; Prehn C; Riboli E; Rinaldi S; Rothwell JA; Scalbert A; Schmidt JA; Severi G; Sieri S; Vermeulen R; Vincent EE; Waldenberger M; Timpson NJ; Johansson M +Author NameID + Guida, Florence; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9652-2430 + Tan, Vanessa Y; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7938-127X + Corbin, Laura J; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4032-9500 + Alcala, Karine; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2308-9880 + Langenberg, Claudia; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5017-7344 + Adamski, Jerzy; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9259-0199 + Bull, Caroline J; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2176-5120 + Dahm, Christina C; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0481-2893 + Giles, Graham G; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4946-9099 + Langhammer, Arnulf; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5296-6673 + Ljungberg, Borje; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4121-3753 + Milne, Roger L; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5764-7268 + Nost, Therese H; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6805-3094 + Pettersen Sorgjerd, Elin; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5995-2386 + Prehn, Cornelia; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1274-4715 + Riboli, Elio; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6795-6080 + Rothwell, Joseph A; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6927-3360 + Scalbert, Augustin; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6651-6710 + Schmidt, Julie A; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7733-8750 + Severi, Gianluca; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7157-419X + Sieri, Sabina; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5201-172X + Vincent, Emma E; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8917-7384 + Timpson, Nicholas J; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7141-9189 + Johansson, Mattias; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3116-5081 +Authors Full Name + Guida, Florence; Tan, Vanessa Y; Corbin, Laura J; Smith-Byrne, Karl; Alcala, Karine; Langenberg, Claudia; Stewart, Isobel D; Butterworth, Adam S; Surendran, Praveen; Achaintre, David; Adamski, Jerzy; Amiano, Pilar; Bergmann, Manuela M; Bull, Caroline J; Dahm, Christina C; Gicquiau, Audrey; Giles, Graham G; Gunter, Marc J; Haller, Toomas; Langhammer, Arnulf; Larose, Tricia L; Ljungberg, Borje; Metspalu, Andres; Milne, Roger L; Muller, David C; Nost, Therese H; Pettersen Sorgjerd, Elin; Prehn, Cornelia; Riboli, Elio; Rinaldi, Sabina; Rothwell, Joseph A; Scalbert, Augustin; Schmidt, Julie A; Severi, Gianluca; Sieri, Sabina; Vermeulen, Roel; Vincent, Emma E; Waldenberger, Melanie; Timpson, Nicholas J; Johansson, Mattias. +Institution + Guida, Florence.

In this study, we sought to identify circulating metabolites that predispose kidney cancer and to evaluate the extent to which they are influenced by body mass index (BMI). + + METHODS AND FINDINGS: We assessed the association between circulating levels of 1,416 metabolites and incident kidney cancer using pre-diagnostic blood samples from up to 1,305 kidney cancer case-control pairs from 5 prospective cohort studies. Cases were diagnosed on average 8 years after blood collection. We found 25 metabolites robustly associated with kidney cancer risk. In particular, 14 glycerophospholipids (GPLs) were inversely associated with risk, including 8 phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and 2 plasmalogens. The PC with the strongest association was PC ae C34:3 with an odds ratio (OR) for 1 standard deviation (SD) increment of 0.75 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.68 to 0.83, p = 2.6 x 10-8). In contrast, 4 amino acids, including glutamate (OR for 1 SD = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.20 to 1.60, p = 1.6 x 10-5), were positively associated with risk. Adjusting for BMI partly attenuated the risk association for some-but not all-metabolites, whereas other known risk factors of kidney cancer, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, had minimal impact on the observed associations. A mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis of the influence of BMI on the blood metabolome highlighted that some metabolites associated with kidney cancer risk are influenced by BMI. Specifically, elevated BMI appeared to decrease levels of several GPLs that were also found inversely associated with kidney cancer risk (e.g., -0.17 SD change [sBMI] in 1-(1-enyl-palmitoyl)-2-linoleoyl-GPC (P-16:0/18:2) levels per SD change in BMI, p = 3.4 x 10-5). BMI was also associated with increased levels of glutamate (sBMI: 0.12, p = 1.5 x 10-3). While our results were robust across the participating studies, they were limited to study participants of European descent, and it will, therefore, be important to evaluate if our findings can be generalised to populations with different genetic backgrounds. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests a potentially important role of the blood metabolome in kidney cancer aetiology by highlighting a wide range of metabolites associated with the risk of developing kidney cancer and the extent to which changes in levels of these metabolites are driven by BMI-the principal modifiable risk factor of kidney cancer. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This is an important clinical problem since T2D is one of the most common diseases. Because weight loss-based strategies have been shown to decrease stroke risk in people with T2D, we aimed to investigate whether diet-induced weight loss can also improve post-stroke functional recovery and identify some of the underlying mechanisms. + + METHODS: T2D/obesity was induced by 6 months of high-fat diet (HFD). Weight loss was achieved by a short- or long-term dietary change, replacing HFD with standard diet for 2 or 4 months, respectively. Stroke was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion and post-stroke recovery was assessed by sensorimotor tests. Mechanisms involved in neurovascular damage in the post-stroke recovery phase, i.e. neuroinflammation, impaired angiogenesis and cellular atrophy of GABAergic parvalbumin (PV)+ interneurons were assessed by immunohistochemistry/quantitative microscopy. + + RESULTS: Both short- and long-term dietary change led to similar weight loss. However, only the latter enhanced functional recovery after stroke. This effect was associated with pre-stroke normalization of fasting glucose and insulin resistance, and with the reduction of T2D-induced cellular atrophy of PV+ interneurons. Moreover, stroke recovery was associated with decreased T2D-induced neuroinflammation and reduced astrocyte reactivity in the contralateral striatum. + + CONCLUSION: The global diabetes epidemic will dramatically increase the number of people in need of post-stroke treatment and care. Our results suggest that diet-induced weight loss leading to pre-stroke normalization of glucose metabolism has great potential to reduce the sequelae of stroke in the diabetic population.

Interventional strategies during pregnancy are a potential approach to alleviate and/or prevent obesity and obesity related metabolic alterations in the offspring. Fish oil (FO), rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) exerts metabolic health benefits. However, the role of FO in early life remains still unknown. Hence, this study objective was to determine the effect of FO supplementation in mice from pre-pregnancy through lactation, and to study the post-natal metabolic health effects in gonadal fat and liver of offspring fed high fat (HF) diet with or without FO. Female C57BL6J mice aged 4-5 weeks were fed a HF (45% fat) diet supplemented with or without FO (30 g/kg of diet) and low fat (LF; 10% fat) pre-pregnancy through lactation. After weaning, offspring (male and female) from HF or FO dams either continued the same diet (HF-HF and FO-FO) or switched to the other diet (HF-FO and FO-HF) for 13 weeks, creating four groups of treatment, and LF-LF was used as a control group. Serum, gonadal fat and liver tissue were collected at termination for metabolic analyses. Offspring of both sexes fed HF with or without fish oil gained (p < 0.05) more weight post weaning, compared to LF-LF-fed mice. All the female offspring groups supplemented with FO had reduced body weight compared to the respective male groups. Further, FO-FO supplementation in both sexes (p < 0.05) improved glucose clearance and insulin sensitivity compared to HF-HF. All FO-FO fed mice had significantly reduced adipocyte size compared to HF-HF group in both male and females. Inflammation, measured by mRNA levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (Mcp1), was reduced (p < 0.05) with FO supplementation in both sexes in gonadal fat and in the liver. Markers of fatty acid synthesis, fatty acid synthase (Fasn) showed no sex specific differences in gonadal fat and liver of mice supplemented with HF. Female mice had lower liver triglycerides than male counterparts. Supplementation of FO in mice improved metabolic health of offspring by lowering markers of lipid synthesis and inflammation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids, Omega-3). 0 (Fish Oils). 0 (Triglycerides).

Our aim was to determine whether the HIIT + LO combination prevents obesity-induced oxidative stress in high fat diet (HFD)-fed rats. HFD-fed 8-week-old, male, Wistar rats were subdivided in four groups: HFD, LO (2% of sunflower oil replaced with 2% of LO in the HFD), HIIT (4 days/week for 12 weeks), and HIIT + LO. Wistar rats fed a low-fat diet (LFD) were used as controls. Epididymal and subcutaneous adipose tissue, gastrocnemius muscle, liver, and plasma samples were collected to measure oxidative stress markers (AOPP, oxLDL), antioxidant (SOD, CAT, and GPx activities) and pro-oxidant (NOx and XO) enzyme activities. Compared with the LFD, the HFD altered the pro/antioxidant status in different tissues (increase of AOPP, oxLDL, SOD and catalase activities in plasma, and SOD activity increase in liver and decrease in adipose tissues) but not in gastrocnemius. LO upregulated CAT activity and decreased NOx in liver. HIIT alleviated HFD negative effects in liver by reducing SOD and NOx activities. Moreover, the HIIT + LO combination potentiated SOD activity upregulation in subcutaneous tissue. HIIT and LO supplementation have independent beneficial effects on the pro/antioxidant balance. Their association promotes SOD activity in subcutaneous adipose tissue. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Nitrates). 8001-26-1 (Linseed Oil).

Here, we report the discovery of a novel anti-obesity and hypocholesterolemic peptide, RPR (Arg-Pro-Arg), derived from protamine in mice fed a high-fat diet for 50 days. Serum cholesterol levels were significantly lower in the protamine and RPR groups than in the control group. White adipose tissue weight was significantly decreased in the protamine and RPR groups. The fecal excretion of cholesterol and bile acid was significantly higher in the protamine and RPR groups than in the control group. We also observed a significant decrease in the expression of hepatic SCD1, SREBP1, and adipocyte FAS mRNA, and significantly increased expression of hepatic PPARalpha and adipocyte PPARgamma1 mRNA in the protamine group. These findings demonstrate that the anti-obesity effects of protamine are linked to the upregulation of adipocyte PPARgamma1 and hepatic PPARalpha and the downregulation of hepatic SCD1 via SREBP1 and adipocyte FAS. RPR derived from protamine has a crucial role in the anti-obesity action of protamine by evaluating the effective dose of adipose tissue weight loss. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Anticholesteremic Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Oligopeptides). 0 (PPAR alpha). 0 (PPAR gamma). 0 (Ppara protein, mouse). 0 (Pparg protein, mouse). 0 (Protamines). 0 (Srebf1 protein, mouse). 0 (Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein 1). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol).

Broccoli is the cruciferous vegetable whose phytochemistry and physiological effects have been most extensively studied. Kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) appears on lists of 'healthiest, nutrient dense foods' but, there is paucity of data on kale as a functional food. In a 12-week study, we tested the effect of curly green kale on high fat diet (HFD) induced obesity and insulin resistance, lipid metabolism, endotoxemia and inflammation in C57BL/6J mice fed isocaloric diets. Kale supplementation did not attenuate HFD diet induced fat accumulation and insulin resistance (P = ns; n = 9) but, it lowered serum triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LPL) cholesterol and prevented HFD induced increases in systemic endotoxemia and inflammation (serum LPS and Ccl2) (P<0.01; n = 9). In adipose tissue, kale enhanced the expression of genes involved in adipogenesis (P<0.01; n = 9), reduced the appearance of histologic markers of inflammation, downregulated both the gene expression and protein expression of the adipose tissue specific inflammation markers CD11c and F4/80 (P<0.001; n = 9) and reduced the gene expression of a battery of chemokine C-C motif ligands (Ccl2, Ccl6, Ccl7, Ccl8, Ccl9) and chemokine C-C motif receptors (Ccr2, Ccr3, Ccr5). We conclude that kale vegetable protects against HFD diet induced dysfunction through mechanisms involving lipid metabolism, endotoxemia and inflammation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Chemokines). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.1371%2fjournal.pone.0256348 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Raychaudhuri&issn=1932-6203&title=PLoS+ONE+%5BElectronic+Resource%5D&atitle=Kale+supplementation+during+high+fat+feeding+improves+metabolic+health+in+a+mouse+model+of+obesity+and+insulin+resistance.&volume=16&issue=8&spage=e0256348&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0256348&pmid=34432833&sid=OVID:medline + +<662> +Unique Identifier + 34363822 +Title + Low-molecular alginate improved diet-induced obesity and metabolic syndrome through modulating the gut microbiota in BALB/c mice. +Source + International Journal of Biological Macromolecules. 187:811-820, 2021 Sep 30. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Zheng W; Duan M; Jia J; Song S; Ai C +Authors Full Name + Zheng, Weiyun; Duan, Mengmeng; Jia, Jinhui; Song, Shuang; Ai, Chunqing. +Institution + Zheng, Weiyun.

In this study, low-molecular alginate from Laminaria japonica (L-LJA) was prepared, and its effect on obesity and metabolic syndrome was analyzed in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. L-LJA reduced weight gain, fat accumulation in the liver and epididymal adipose tissue, lipid abnormality and inflammation in HFD-fed mice accompanied with the improvement of gut microbiota. L-LJA modulated the structure of gut microbiota, increased some Bacteroidales members, and reduced some Clostridiales members in mice, which were positively correlated with the improvement of physiological status. Fecal transplant from L-LJA-fed mice reduced fat accumulation in body tissues and lipid abnormality in the serum and liver and increased short chain fatty acids production in HFD-fed mice, confirming that L-LJA-induced gut microbiota alteration played an important role in its bioactivity. L-LJA has better solubility and can be utilized in food systems in high dose, implying that it can be developed as a prebiotic agent to increase both economic value and nutritive value of alginate.

Since the majority of fish proteins consumed by humans are as fish fillet, it is of interest to investigate if cod fillet intake affects amino acid composition and metabolic disorders. We hypothesized that a modified AIN-93G diet containing cod fillet would affect amino acid compositions in plasma and urine in obese rats, and also affect risk factors for metabolic syndrome when compared to rats fed a regular AIN-93G diet with casein as the protein source. Obese Zucker fa/fa rats, a rat model of metabolic syndrome, received diets containing 25% protein from lyophilized baked cod fillet and 75% protein from casein (Baked cod diet), or a Control diet with casein for four weeks. The Baked cod diet affected the amino acid composition in plasma, with e.g., lower glycine, histidine, homoarginine, homocysteine, methionine, proline and tyrosine concentrations, but did not affect amino acid concentrations in urine. The concentrations of markers for kidney and liver dysfunction were lower in the Baked cod group, however blood pressure development, fasting and postprandial glucose, and hepatic triacylglycerol concentrations were similar to the Control group. To conclude, substituting 25% of dietary protein with baked cod fillet affected concentrations of some amino acids in plasma and delayed development of kidney and liver dysfunction, but did not affect blood pressure, glucose concentration or fatty liver.

Evidence is mounting that colorectal cancer can be prevented by nutritional supplements, such as phytochemicals. Garcinol, a polyisoprenylated benzophenone derivative, is widely present in Garcinia plants. This study investigates the potential role of garcinol supplementation in ameliorating obesity-induced colon cancer development. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: An animal model to investigate the effect of high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obesity on promoting colitis-associated colon cancer (AOM (azoxymethane)/DSS (dextran sodium sulfate)-induced) is designed. The results show that HFD can promote colitis-associated colon cancer as compared to an AOM/DSS group without the intervention of obesity, and supplementing with 0.05% garcinol in the diet can significantly ameliorate obesity-promoted colon carcinogenesis. The results also reveals that the microbiota composition of each group is significantly different and clustered. The most representative genera are Alistipes, Romboutsia, and Ruminococcus. The RNA-sequencing results show that the administration of garcinol can regulate genes and improve obesity-promoting colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis. + + CONCLUSION: The study results suggest that garcinol can prevent obesity-promoted colorectal cancer, and these findings provide important niches for the future development of garcinol as functional foods or adjuvant therapeutic agents.

Despite the recent identification of brown adipose tissue (BAT) as a potential target in the management of obesity, the use of ASCs isolated from BAT as a therapy for patients with obesity has not yet been explored. Metabolic activation of BAT has been shown to have not only thermogenic effects, but it also triggers the secretion of factors that confer protection against obesity. Herein, we isolated and characterized ASCs from the visceral adipose tissue surrounding a pheochromocytoma (IB-hASCs), a model of inducible BAT in humans. We then compared the anti-obesity properties of IB-hASCs and human ASCs isolated from visceral white adipose tissue (W-hASCs) in a murine model of diet-induced obesity. We found that both ASC therapies mitigated the metabolic abnormalities of obesity to a similar extent, including reducing weight gain and improving glucose tolerance. However, infusion of IB-hASCs was superior to W-hASCs in suppressing lipogenic and inflammatory markers, as well as preserving insulin secretion. Our findings provide evidence for the metabolic benefits of visceral ASC infusion and support further studies on IB-hASCs as a therapeutic option for obesity-related comorbidities. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Hepatic synthesis of GABA, catalyzed by GABA-transaminase (GABA-T), is upregulated in obese mice. To assess the role of hepatic GABA production in obesity-induced metabolic and energy dysregulation, we treated mice with two pharmacologic GABA-T inhibitors and knocked down hepatic GABA-T expression using an antisense oligonucleotide. Hepatic GABA-T inhibition and knockdown decreased basal hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia and improved glucose intolerance. GABA-T knockdown improved insulin sensitivity assessed by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps in obese mice. Hepatic GABA-T knockdown also decreased food intake and induced weight loss without altering energy expenditure in obese mice. Data from people with obesity support the notion that hepatic GABA production and transport are associated with serum insulin, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), T2D, and BMI. These results support a key role for hepatocyte GABA production in the dysfunctional glucoregulation and feeding behavior associated with obesity.

However, the relevant researches are mainly about the whole crude polysaccharides, the specific active ingredient of LBPs and its bioactivity have been rarely explored. Herein, a homogeneous polysaccharide (LBP-W) was isolated and purified from crude LBPs. Structure characterizations indicated that LBP-W contained a main chain consisting of a repeated unit of ->6)-beta-Galp(1 -> residues with branches composed of alpha-Araf, beta-Galp and alpha-Rhap residues at position C-3. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-obesogenic effect of LBP-W and figure out the underlying mechanisms. In vivo efficacy trial illustrated that LBP-W supplements can alleviate HFD-induced mice obesity significantly. Gut microbiota analysis showed that LBP-W not only improved community diversity of intestinal flora, but also regulated their specific genera. Moreover, LBP-W can increase the content of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), a metabolite of the intestinal flora. In summary, all these results demonstrated that the homogeneous polysaccharide purified from L. barbarum could be used as a prebiotic agent to improve obesity by modulating the composition of intestinal flora and the metabolism of SCFAs.

On the other hand, physical exercise reduces body adiposity. To test the hypothesis that physical activity improves bone quality, we evaluated voluntary running of defined distances on trabecular and cortical microstructure in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Sedentary mice were fed the standard AIN93G diet or the HFD. Mice fed the HFD remained sedentary or were assigned to unrestricted running or 75%, 50%, and 25% of unrestricted running with an average running activity at 8.3, 6.3, 4.2, and 2.1 km per day, respectively. The bone structural differences found in sedentary mice were that HFD, compared with the AIN93G diet, resulted in a lower bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and a higher structure model index (SMI) in vertebrae. Running had a greater effect on trabecular microstructure in femurs than in vertebrae; the decrease in SMI and an increase in trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) were in dose-dependent manners. Running was positively correlated with BV/TV and Tb.Th and inversely correlated with SMI in femurs. The HFD increased plasma concentrations of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b, a marker of bone resorption, in sedentary mice, while running decreased it in a dose-dependent manner. The findings show that voluntary running improves bone quality in young adult mice fed an HFD. Novelty: The high-fat diet alters bone microstructure by increasing bone resorption. Quantitative voluntary running improves bone microstructure through its attenuation of bone resorption in mice fed a high-fat diet. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycoproteins). 0 (nephrocalcin).

Gut-dwelling bacteria of the Christensenellaceae family have been proposed to act as keystones of the human gut ecosystem and to prevent adipogenesis. The objectives of the present study were to demonstrate the antiobesity potential of a new strain of Christensenella minuta in preclinical models and explore related mechanisms of action. The antiobesity potential of C. minuta DSM33407 was assessed in a diet-induced obesity mouse model. Changes in hepatic lipid metabolism were explored using targeted transcriptomics. Effects on gut microbiota were further assessed in a humanized Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME R) model inoculated with obese fecal samples. Shotgun metagenomics was applied to study microbial community structures in both models. C. minuta DSM33407 protected from diet-induced obesity and regulated associated metabolic markers such as glycemia and leptin. It also regulated hepatic lipid metabolism through a strong inhibition of de novo lipogenesis and maintained gut epithelial integrity. In the humanized SHIME R model, these effects were associated with modulations of the intestinal microbiota characterized by a decreased Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. These data indicate that C. minuta DSM33407 is a convincing therapeutic candidate for the management of obesity and associated metabolic disorders. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Obesity-related genetic variants have been identified, but these explain little of the variation in BMI. Recent studies reported associations between DNA methylation and obesity, mostly in non-Asian populations. + + METHODS: We performed an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) on general adiposity (body mass index, BMI) and abdominal adiposity (waist circumference, WC) in 409 multi-ethnic Asian individuals and replicated BMI and waist-associated DNA methylation CpGs identified in other populations. The cross-lagged panel model and Mendelian randomization were used to assess the temporal relationship between methylation and BMI. The temporal relationship between the identified CpGs and inflammation and metabolic markers was also examined. + + RESULTS: EWAS identified 116 DNA methylation CpGs independently associated with BMI and eight independently associated with WC at false discovery rate PFDR < 0.05 in 409 Asian samples. We replicated 110 BMI-associated CpGs previously reported in Europeans and identified six novel BMI-associated CpGs and two novel WC-associated CpGs. We observed high consistency in association direction of effect compared to studies in other populations. Causal relationship analyses indicated that BMI was more likely to be the cause of DNA methylation alteration, rather than the consequence. The causal analyses using BMI-associated methylation risk score also suggested that higher levels of the inflammation marker IL-6 were likely the consequence of methylation change. + + CONCLUSION: Our study provides evidence of an association between obesity and DNA methylation in multi-ethnic Asians and suggests that obesity can drive methylation change. The results also suggested possible causal influence that obesity-related methylation changes might have on inflammation and lipoprotein levels. Copyright © 2021.

Disruption of Trim28 or of members of this network, including neuronatin, results in an unusual phenotype of a bimodal body weight. To better characterise this variability, we examined the key contributors to energy balance in Nnat+/-p mice that carry a paternal null allele and do not express Nnat. Consistent with our previous studies, Nnat deficient mice on chow diet displayed a bimodal body weight phenotype with more than 30% of Nnat+/-p mice developing obesity. In response to both a 45% high fat diet and exposure to thermoneutrality (30 degreeC) Nnat deficient mice maintained the hypervariable body weight phenotype. Within a calorimetry system, food intake in Nnat+/-p mice was hypervariable, with some mice consuming more than twice the intake seen in wild type littermates. A hyperphagic response was also seen in Nnat+/-p mice in a second, non-home cage environment. An expected correlation between body weight and energy expenditure was seen, but corrections for the effects of positive energy balance and body weight greatly diminished the effect of neuronatin deficiency on energy expenditure. Male and female Nnat+/-p mice displayed subtle distinctions in the degree of variance body weight phenotype and food intake and further sexual dimorphism was reflected in different patterns of hypothalamic gene expression in Nnat+/-p mice. Loss of the imprinted gene Nnat is associated with a highly variable food intake, with the impact of this phenotype varying between genetically identical individuals. Copyright © 2021.

The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a xenobiotic-sensing nuclear receptor known for trans-activating liver genes involved in drug metabolism and transport, and more recently implicated in energy metabolism. The gut microbiota can modulate the host xenobiotic biotransformation and contribute to the development of obesity. While the male sex confers a higher risk for NAFLD than women before menopause, the mechanism remains unknown. We hypothesized that the presence of PXR promotes obesity by modifying the gut-liver axis in a sex-specific manner. Male and female C57BL/6 (wild-type/WT) and PXR-knockout (PXR-KO) mice were fed control or high-fat diet (HFD) for 16-weeks. Serum parameters, liver histopathology, transcriptomic profiling, 16S-rDNA sequencing, and bile acid (BA) metabolomics were performed. PXR enhanced HFD-induced weight gain, hepatic steatosis and inflammation especially in males, accompanied by PXR-dependent up-regulation in hepatic genes involved in microbial response, inflammation, oxidative stress, and cancer; PXR-dependent increase in intestinal Firmicutes/Bacteroides ratio (hallmark of obesity) and the pro-inflammatory Lactobacillus, as well as a decrease in the anti-obese Allobaculum and the anti-inflammatory Bifidobacterum, with a PXR-dependent reduction of beneficial BAs in liver. The resistance to NAFLD in females may be explained by PXR-dependent decrease in pro-inflammatory bacteria (Ruminococcus gnavus and Peptococcaceae). In conclusion, PXR exacerbates hepatic steatosis and inflammation accompanied by obesity- and inflammation-prone gut microbiome signature, suggesting that gut microbiome may contribute to PXR-mediated exacerbation of NAFLD.

The correlates of temporal changes in soluble ACE2 (sACE2) remain understudied. + + OBJECTIVES: We explored the associations of sACE2 with metabolic health and proteome dynamics during a weight loss diet intervention. + + METHODS: We analyzed 457 healthy individuals (mean +/- SD age: 39.8 +/- 6.6 y) with BMI 28-40 kg/m2 in the DIETFITS (Diet Intervention Examining the Factors Interacting with Treatment Success) study. Biochemical markers of metabolic health and 236 proteins were measured by Olink CVDII, CVDIII, and Inflammation I arrays at baseline and at 6 mo during the dietary intervention. We determined clinical and routine biochemical correlates of the diet-induced change in sACE2 (DELTAsACE2) using stepwise linear regression. We combined feature selection models and multivariable-adjusted linear regression to identify protein dynamics associated with DELTAsACE2. + + RESULTS: sACE2 decreased on average at 6 mo during the diet intervention. Stronger decline in sACE2 during the diet intervention was independently associated with female sex, lower HOMA-IR and LDL cholesterol at baseline, and a stronger decline in HOMA-IR, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and fat mass. Participants with decreasing HOMA-IR (OR: 1.97; 95% CI: 1.28, 3.03) and triglycerides (OR: 2.71; 95% CI: 1.72, 4.26) had significantly higher odds for a decrease in sACE2 during the diet intervention than those without (P <= 0.0073). Feature selection models linked DELTAsACE2 to changes in alpha-1-microglobulin/bikunin precursor, E-selectin, hydroxyacid oxidase 1, kidney injury molecule 1, tyrosine-protein kinase Mer, placental growth factor, thrombomodulin, and TNF receptor superfamily member 10B. DELTAsACE2 remained associated with these protein changes in multivariable-adjusted linear regression. + + CONCLUSIONS: Decrease in sACE2 during a weight loss diet intervention was associated with improvements in metabolic health, fat mass, and markers of angiotensin peptide metabolism, hepatic and vascular injury, renal function, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress. Our findings may improve the risk stratification, prevention, and management of cardiometabolic complications. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01826591.

Exercise-induced adaptations are mediated by enhanced 70-kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) levels and an improved heat shock response (HSR). Therefore, exercise could be useful against disease conditions [obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM), and exposure to atmospheric pollutants] marked by an impaired HSR. However, exercise performed by obese or diabetic subjects under pollution conditions might also be dangerous at certain intensities. Intensity correlates with an increase in HSP70 levels during physical exercise until a critical point at which the effort becomes harmful and impairs the HSR. Establishing a unique biomarker able to indicate the exercise intensity on metabolism and cellular fatigue is essential to ensure adequate and safe exercise recommendations for individuals with obesity or DM who require exercise to improve their metabolic status and live in polluted regions. In this review, we examined the available evidence supporting our hypothesis that HSP70 could serve as a biomarker for determining the optimal exercise intensity for subjects with obesity or diabetes when exposed to air pollution and establishing the fine threshold between anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory exercise effects.

We measured airway (nasal lavage) 8-isoprostanes and investigated the relationship with measures of sinus and asthma symptoms, asthma control and lung function. + + RESULTS: The study of people with sinonasal disease and poorly controlled asthma included 48 obese, 31 overweight and 23 lean participants. In multivariate analysis, nasal lavage 8-isoprostane levels increased with increasing BMI (p < 0.01), and were higher in Caucasian than African American participants (p = 0.01). Sinus symptoms were inversely related to nasal 8-isoprostanes (p = 0.02) independent of BMI and Race. In the study investigating the effect of BMI on airway disease, we enrolled 13 controls with obesity and 21 people with obesity and asthma: 8-isoprostane levels were higher in obese controls than in obese people with asthma (p < 0.01), and levels were inversely related to sinus symptoms (p = 0.02) and asthma control (p < 0.01). + + INTERPRETATION: 8-isoprostanes in nasal lavage are increased in obesity, and increased in Caucasians compared with African Americans. However, levels are higher in obese controls than obese people with asthma, and appear inversely related to symptoms of airway disease. + + CLINICAL IMPLICATION: Airway 8-isoprostanes likely reflect complex oxidative signaling pathways, which are altered in obesity and those of different race, rather than being a simple marker of airway oxidative injury. + + CAPSULE SUMMARY: Increased airway oxidative signaling (8-isoprostanes), may reflect normal physiology in the setting of obesity, as decreased levels are associated with disease activity in people with chronic sinonasal disease and asthma.

UA or placebo orally was ingested as a capsule three times per day for eight weeks. The following parameters were evaluated post- and pre-intervention. Data were analyzed using ANOVA with repeated measures. + + RESULTS: Interleukin-15 (IL-15), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Insulin, and HOMA-IR decreased significantly in the placebo and UA groups versus control, but the UA group significantly decreased compared with the placebo (p<0.05). In turn, the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Irisin levels showed a significant increase in the placebo and UA groups versus control. However, the BDNF in the UA group significantly increased compared with the placebo (p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSION: We demonstrated that applying resistance training can reverse the pathological changes that may occur with aging and a sedentary lifestyle. Our results showed that UA could enhance the effects of this type of exercise. Therefore, a combination of the resistance training program and UA supplementation may be considered as a novel and influential intervention to metabolic derangements and may also decrease the burden associated with this condition.

The objective of this study was to investigate circulating serum myonectin levels in nondiabetes and T2DM and elucidate possible relationships between serum myonectin levels and metabolic parameters in patients with T2DM. + + DESIGN: A total of 362 Chinese patients with T2DM and 100 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited in this study. Clinical characteristics, blood biochemistry, and circulating myonectin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. + + RESULTS: Circulating myonectin levels were significantly decreased in T2DM compared with controls. Obese nondiabetic controls had significantly lower serum myonectin levels compared with lean nondiabetic controls. In diabetic patients, serum myonectin concentrations were significantly negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), C-reactive protein (CRP), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting insulin (Fins), the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), visceral fat area, and subcutaneous fat area. After adjusting for covariates, multivariate stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that BMI, LDL-C, TG, HOMA-IR, and visceral fat were the main independent predictors of low serum myonectin concentrations. + + CONCLUSIONS: Circulating myonectin levels were decreased in T2DM patients and in obese subjects. Moreover, serum myonectin levels were correlated with metabolic markers of T2DM. These data suggest that myonectin may be a useful marker in predicting the development of obesity and T2DM.

Currently, an increase in plasma concentrations of some MMPs and their tissue inhibitors is considered as one of the earliest biochemical markers of myocardial fibrosis in various diseases of the cardiovascular system. Discusses the importance of MMP in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). + + AIM: To study the effect of the MMP system on the development of AF in obese patients. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 105 patients with a body mass index of more than 30 kg/m2. Depending on the presence of AF, the patients were divided into 2 groups. The criterion for inclusion of patients in group 1 was the presence of documented AF paroxysm in 55 obese patients. The comparison group (group 2) consisted of 50 obese patients without heart rhythm disorders. When patients were included in the study, in order to assess the severity of visceral obesity, all patients underwent a general clinical examination, echocardiography. To determine the activity of the MMP system, venous blood was taken from patients. + + RESULTS: Significantly higher values of MMP-9 were detected in patients with obesity and paroxysmal AF 315.753.4 ng/ml than in patients with obesity without heart rhythm disorders 220.954.7 ng/ml (p=0.002); the values of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 were 185.342.2 and 119.242.6 ng/ml, respectively (p=0.007). In patients with obesity and paroxysmal AF, a correlation of moderate strength between the level of MMP-9 and the volume of left atrium and a direct dependence of moderate strength between the ratio of waist volume to height and the plasma values of MMP-9 was revealed. The MMP-9 index (AUC 0.92) had a high diagnostic value for determining the probability of having a paroxysmal form of AF in obese patients. With an increase in the level of MMP-9 more than 295 ng/ml, it is possible to predict the presence of paroxysmal AF in obese patients with a sensitivity of 74.5% and a specificity of 94%. + + CONCLUSION: In patients with obesity and paroxysmal AF, a significant increase in the parameters of the MMP system (MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1) was revealed when compared with obese patients without heart rhythm disorders (p0.05). With an increase in MMP-9 of more than 285 ng/ml in obese patients, the appearance of AF with a sensitivity of 74.5% and a specificity of 94% can be predicted. +Other Abstract + Publisher + O ocHoBaH e.

Epidemiological studies demonstrate that obesity, or a body mass index (BMI) >= 30 kg/m2, is positively correlated with greater CD4+ T cell recovery in PLWH on ART. Leptin is a known immunomodulator that is produced in proportion to fat mass and is increased in obese individuals, including PLWH. We hypothesized that CD4+ T cells from obese PLWH have increased cell proliferation and cytokine production compared to cells from lean PLWH, potentially modulated by differential effects of leptin signaling. To test this hypothesis, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from obese and lean PLWH with long-term virologic suppression on the same ART regimen were pretreated with recombinant leptin and then stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 or PMA/ionomycin to measure Ki67 expression, leptin receptor (LepR) surface expression and cytokine production. In the absence of leptin, Ki67 expression and IL-17A production were significantly higher in CD4+ T cells from obese compared to lean PLWH. However, LepR expression was significantly lower on CD4+ T cells from obese compared to lean PLWH. After leptin treatment, Ki67 expression was significantly increased in CD4+ T cells from obese PLWH compared to the lean participants. Leptin also increased IL-17A production in CD4+ T cells from obese healthy controls. In contrast, leptin decreased IL-17A production in CD4+ T cells from both obese and lean PLWH. Combined, these results demonstrate that obesity is associated with greater CD4+ T cell proliferation among PLWH, and that higher circulating leptin levels in obesity may contribute to improved CD4+ T reconstitution in PLWH initiating ART.

It exerts an insulin-like effect by the insulin receptor-1 and has a hypoglycemic effect. We aimed to investigate how serum visfatin changes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and whether it is predictive of neonatal outcomes. + + METHODS: Visfatin levels were prospectively measured in peripheral blood serum by enzyme immunoassay in 210 pregnant women, 156 of which were diagnosed with GDM, 18 of which suffered from pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and 36 healthy controls. + + RESULTS: Patients with obesity class II (median=2.562 ng/mL) and class III (median=6.2940 ng/mL) had higher serum visfatin than overweight patients (median=0.735 ng/mL); (Mann-Whitney U test, P=0.037 and P=0.023, respectively). In GDM patients with BMI above 30, serum visfatin was associated to glycosylated hemoglobin (Spearman correlation test, R=0.26, P=0.045). Women with BMI above 25 treated with insulin had lower serum visfatin levels than those treated with diet only (Mann-Whitney U test, P=0.045). No correlation was found between visfatin and parameters of lipid profile such as HDL, LDL, or triglycerides (Spearman correlation tests, R=-0.051, -0.1, 0.0019; P=0.54, 0.29, 0.98, respectively). We observed that visfatin was not associated with birth weight (Spearman correlation test, R=-0.014, P=0.86) or adverse neonatal outcome as measured by umbilical artery pH below 7.25 (Mann-Whitney U test, P=0.55) or Apgar score below 10 (Mann-Whitney U test, P=0.21). + + CONCLUSIONS: In GDM patients with higher BMI, serum visfatin was elevated, correlated positively with glycosylated hemoglobin, and decreased upon treatment with insulin therapy. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

In this sense, the present study aimed to verify, in circulating leukocytes, the gene expression of markers related to early immunosenescence associated with obesity and its possible relationships with the physical fitness in obese adults with type 2 diabetes or without associated comorbidities. The sample consisted of middle-aged obese individuals (body mass index (BMI) between 30-35 kg/m2) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (OBD; n = 17) or without associated comorbidity (OB; n = 18), and a control group of eutrophic healthy individuals (BMI: 20 - 25 kg/m2) of same ages (E; n = 18). All groups (OBD, OB and E) performed the functional analyses [muscle strength (1RM) and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max)], anthropometry, body composition (Air Displacement Plethysmograph), blood collections for biochemical (anti-CMV) and molecular (gene expression of leptin, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, PD-1, P16ink4a, CCR7, CD28 and CD27) analyses of markers related to immunosenescence. Increased gene expression of leptin, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, TNF-alpha, PD-1, P16ink4a, CCR7 and CD27 was found for the OBD and OB groups compared to the E group. Moreover, VO2max for the OBD and OB groups was significantly lower compared to E. In conclusion, obesity, regardless of associated disease, induces increased gene expression of markers associated with inflammation and immunosenescence in circulating leukocytes in obese middle-aged individuals compared to a eutrophic group of the same age. Additionally, increased adipose tissue and markers of chronic inflammation and immunosenescence were associated to impairments in the cardiorespiratory capacity of obese middle-aged individuals.

Obesity was induced in experimental albino rabbits by feeding highly fat diet (HFD) with regular feed for fortnight. The appraisal of anti-obesity of MZA and CZA extracts of leaves, fruit and stem of Z. armatum was performed in obese rabbits. Animals were divided into 04 groups. One group was categorized as control who received only HFD with no any extracts and drug. Other group was given orlistat orally a standard drug (10 mg/kg) in combination with the HFD regularly for 03 weeks and marked as positive control. Other 02 groups were allocated as experimental groups, 1st and 2nd experimental groups were administered daily 300 mg/kg of MZA and CMA extracts per oral route respectively for the same period. The substantial fall of lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL and TGs) and rise of HDL were perceived with methanolic extract on comparison to control groups. However, CMZ exhibited little response on serum lipid-profile. On conclusion, MZA extract of Z. armatum (areal parts) was considered a valid anti-obesity herbal remedy in experimental rabbits fed on high-feed diet. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Plant Extracts). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&AN=35034889 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Munawar&issn=1011-601X&title=Pakistan+Journal+of+Pharmaceutical+Sciences&atitle=REPORT-The+phytochemical+valuation+and+lipid+profile+impression+with+Zanthoxylum+armatum+%28Rutaceae%29+through+animal-model.&volume=34&issue=6&spage=2257&epage=2264&date=2021&doi=&pmid=35034889&sid=OVID:medline + +<684> +Unique Identifier + 35011021 +Title + Microbiota and Metabolite Profiling as Markers of Mood Disorders: A Cross-Sectional Study in Obese Patients. +Source + Nutrients. 14(1), 2021 Dec 29. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Leyrolle Q; Cserjesi R; Demeure R; Neyrinck AM; Amadieu C; Rodriguez J; Karkkainen O; Hanhineva K; Paquot N; Cnop M; Cani PD; Thissen JP; Bindels LB; Klein O; Luminet O; Delzenne NM +Author NameID + Neyrinck, Audrey M; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9435-3338 + Karkkainen, Olli; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0825-4956 + Cnop, Miriam; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5112-1692 + Cani, Patrice D; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2040-2448 + Bindels, Laure B; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3747-3234 + Klein, Olivier; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2737-8049 + Delzenne, Nathalie M; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2115-6082 +Authors Full Name + Leyrolle, Quentin; Cserjesi, Renata; Demeure, Romane; Neyrinck, Audrey M; Amadieu, Camille; Rodriguez, Julie; Karkkainen, Olli; Hanhineva, Kati; Paquot, Nicolas; Cnop, Miriam; Cani, Patrice D; Thissen, Jean-Paul; Bindels, Laure B; Klein, Olivier; Luminet, Olivier; Delzenne, Nathalie M. +Institution + Leyrolle, Quentin.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the potential links between serum metabolomics and gut microbiome, and mood disturbances in a cohort of obese patients. Psychological, biological characteristics and nutritional habits were evaluated in 94 obese subjects from the Food4Gut study stratified according to their mood score assessed by the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). The fecal gut microbiota and plasma non-targeted metabolomics were analysed. Obese subjects with increased negative mood display elevated levels of Coprococcus as well as decreased levels of Sutterella and Lactobacillus. Serum metabolite profile analysis reveals in these subjects altered levels of several amino acid-derived metabolites, such as an increased level of L-histidine and a decreased in phenylacetylglutamine, linked to altered gut microbiota composition and function rather than to differences in dietary amino acid intake. Regarding clinical profile, we did not observe any differences between both groups. Our results reveal new microbiota-derived metabolites that characterize the alterations of mood in obese subjects, thereby allowing to propose new targets to tackle mood disturbances in this context.

However, no data are available regarding weight loss achieved by very low calorie ketogenic diets (VLCKD) on VV and lipid-based atherogenic indices. A randomized clinical trial was performed to examine changes in adventitial VV density in 20 patients with moderate obesity who underwent a 6-month very low calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD, 600-800 kcal/day), and 10 participants with hypocaloric diet based on the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet, estimated reduction of 500 kcal on the usual intake). Contrast-enhanced carotid ultrasound was used to assess the VV. Body composition analysis was also used. The atherogenic index of plasma (log (triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio)) and the triglyceride-glucose index were calculated. Serum concentrations of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1), and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) were measured. The impact of weight on quality of life-lite (IWQOL-Lite) questionnaire was administered. Participants of intervention groups displayed a similar VV values. Significant improvements of BMI (-5.3 [-6.9 to -3.6] kg/m2, p < 0.001), total body fat (-7.0 [-10.7 to -3.3] %, p = 0.003), and IWQOL-Lite score (-41.4 [-75.2 to -7.6], p = 0.027) were observed in VLCKD group in comparison with MedDiet group. Although after a 6-months follow-up period VV density (mean, right and left sides) did not change significantly in any group, participants in the VLCKD exhibited a significantly decrease both in their atherogenic index of plasma and serum concentration of sICAM-1. A 6-month intervention with VLCKD do not impact in the density of the adventitial VV in subjects with moderate obesity, but induces significant changes in markers of endothelial dysfunction and CV risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1). 126547-89-5 (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

BFRT on patients with obesity has not been extensively studied. This study aimed to analyze the effects of cycling at 40% of maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) combined with BFRT on body composition and serum biomarkers among college students with obesity. This pilot study included thirty-seven male college students with obesity aged 18-22 years (experimental group (EG): n = 18; control group (CG): n = 19). The EG conducted 40% VO2max cycling combined with BFRT activities and the CG conducted 40% VO2max cycling without BFRT two times per week for 12 weeks. Our results showed that in EG, there were significant differences in weight, thigh skinfold thickness (TS), waist circumference, abdominal skinfold thickness, fat mass, body fat percentage, body mass index and glucose (GLU), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels before and after the experiment (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001). After the experiment, TS, GLU, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C in EG were significantly different than those of the CG (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001). Together, our results demonstrate that cycling at 40% VO2max combined with BFRT may improve body composition and blood lipid profile of male college students with obesity. Our findings have important implications for those who cannot perform moderate- and high-intensity exercises. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Information on the study population was obtained from the Dryad Digital Repository. Cox proportional risk models were used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of different obesity markers, including the lipid accumulation index (LAP), body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and body roundness index (BRI) on the development of type 2 diabetes. The effectiveness of each obesity marker in predicting the risk of developing type 2 diabetes was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) and the area under the curve (AUC). + + RESULTS: After a mean follow-up of 5.4 years, there were 372 new cases of type 2 diabetes. After correcting for confounding factors such as age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise, and blood pressure, Cox proportional risk model analysis showed that elevations in BMI, LAP, WHtR, VAI, and BRI increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The ROC curve results showed that LAP was the best predictor of the risk of developing diabetes, with an AUC (95% CI) of 0.759 (0.752-0.766), an optimal cutoff value of 16.04, a sensitivity of 0.72, and a specificity of 0.69. + + CONCLUSION: An increase in the BMI, LAP, WHtR, VAI, and BRI can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, with LAP being the best predictor of this risk.

Research Design and Methods. This cross-sectional study analyzed male participants under 65 years old from the MJ Health Screening Center in Taiwan from 2007 to 2016. Basic patient characteristics with relevant parameters were obtained. We used the chi-square test to perform a correlation analysis for HbA1c and WC between participants with and without hypogonadism. A one-way ANOVA with post hoc Scheffe's method was applied to compare the mean testosterone (T) among the HbAlc and WC groups (normal blood sugar with normal WC (NBSNW), abnormal blood sugar with normal WC (ABSNW), normal blood sugar with abnormal WC (NBSAW), and abnormal blood sugar with abnormal waist circumference (ABSAW)). + + RESULTS: The 5,680 participants were divided into two groups based on the presence (n = 599) or absence of hypogonadism (n = 5,081), which was defined as total testosterone (TT) < 300 ng/dL. The mean TT of group NBSAW (443.71 +/- 220.59 ng/dl) was significantly lower than that of group ABSNW (506.64 +/- 191.08 ng/dl, p < 0.001). Moreover, the mean TT of group ABSAW (398.89 +/- 146.24 ng/dl) was significantly lower than that of group ABSNW (506.64 +/- 191.08 ng/dl, p < 0.001). The ORs after adjusting for BMI, TG, HDL, SBP, and DBP were statistically significant when comparing NBSAW vs. NBSNW (OR = 2.846; 95%CI = 2.266-3.575; p < 0.001), ABSNW vs. NDNW (OR = 1.693; 95%CI = 1.309-2.189; p < 0.001), and ABSAW vs. NBSNW (OR = 4.613; 95%CI = 3.634-5.856; p < 0.001). + + CONCLUSION: The current study showed that WC should be the risk factor that is more closely associated with hypogonadism than hyperglycemia in middle-aged men.

However, whether the obesity could cause myocardial injury independent of coronary heart disease (CHD) remains unclear. This study focuses on the relationship between BMI and troponins, and whether this relationship is being attenuated when CHD is accounted for. + + METHODS: In populations without acute ischemic events, 383 patients with coronary artery stenosis less than 75% were included, that is, people who have not yet reached the indications for coronary intervention, and of them 70 patients being obese according to BMI >= 28 kg/m2. Continuous variables were represented as mean +/- SD or median(inter quartile range[IQR]). Chi-square test was adopted for categorical data. Correlations between variables were evaluated by Spearman analysis, multiple regression or logistic regression. + + RESULTS: The circulating hs-cTnT level was higher in the obese group [8(6,11) ng/L vs. 6(4,9) ng/L; p < 0.001). In subgroup analysis based on the presence or absence of coronary heart disease(CHD), the adjusted beta(95%CI) for circulating hs-cTnT exhibited a proportional relationship with BMI when the non-obesity were defined as the reference[beta; 2.22(95%CI, 0.73 to 3.71) in non-CHD, 5.58(95%CI, 0.70 to 10.46) in CHD, p < 0.05]. Additionally, the degree of coronary stenosis has shown a positive correlation with circulating hs-cTnT (rho = 0.1162; p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSION: When CHD is taken into account, obesity is independently associated to the elevation of circulating hs-cTnT, a biomarker of myocardial injury, potentially indicating the impact of obesity on non-ischemic subclinical myocardial injury.

Maladaptive eating patterns driving insulin resistance represent a key modifiable risk factor for breast cancer. Emerging evidence suggests that time-restricted feeding paradigms (TRF) improve cancer-related metabolic risk factors; however, more flexible approaches could be more feasible and effective. In this exploratory, secondary analysis, we identified participants following a low-glucose eating pattern (LGEP), defined as consuming energy when glucose levels are at or below average fasting levels, as an alternative to TRF. Results show that following an LGEP regimen for at least 40% of reported eating events improves insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and other cancer-related serum biomarkers. The magnitude of serum biomarkers changes observed here has previously been shown to favorably modulate benign breast tissue in women with overweight and obesity who are at risk for postmenopausal breast cancer. By comparison, the observed effects of LGEP were similar to results from previously published TRF studies in similar populations. These preliminary findings support further testing of LGEP as an alternative to TRF and a postmenopausal breast cancer prevention strategy. However, results should be interpreted with caution, given the exploratory nature of analyses. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays an essential role in the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs). Angiopoietin-like proteins ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 are shown to be important regulators of LPL activity. Increased concentrations of these proteins may reflect cardiovascular risk, and the treatment of patients with dyslipidemia with ANGPTLs inhibitors may decrease this risk. We assessed the gender-specific relationships of serum ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 with atherogenic lipid biomarkers and obesity in non-diabetic adults. The study comprised 238 participants aged 25-74 [122 with triglycerides (TG) <150 mg/dL (<1.7 mmol/L) and 116 with hypertriglyceridemia]. Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, TG, C-reactive protein (CRP), glycated hemoglobin, apolipoprotein B, small dense LDL-C (sd-LDL-C), ANGPTL3, and ANGPTL8 were measured. Non-HDL-cholesterol, remnant cholesterol (remnant-C) concentrations, and body mass index (BMI) were calculated. Results: Women and men did not differ in terms of age, CRP levels, the percentage of obese subjects, and concentrations of atherogenic lipid biomarkers, except higher TG in males and higher ANGPTL3 concentrations in females. Positive correlations of both ANGPTLs with TG, remnant-C, and sdLDL-C levels were found in females. In males, only ANGPTL3 correlated positively with atherogenic biomarkers, but there were no correlations with ANGPTL8. Concentrations of ANGPTL3 were higher in obese men, whereas ANGPTL8 levels were higher in obese women. In women alone, ANGPTL8 showed very good discrimination power to identify subjects with hypertriglyceridemia (AUC = 0.83). Contrary to this, ANGPTL3 was a better discriminator of hypertriglyceridemia (AUC = 0.78) in male subjects. Regression models, adjusted for age, sex, and BMI showed a weak but significant effect of ANGPTL8 to increase the risk of hypertriglyceridemia. Conclusions : In females, ANGPTL8 is more strongly associated with TRLs metabolism, whereas in males, ANGPTL3 plays a more important role. We suggest sex differences be taken into consideration when applying new therapies with angiopoietin-like proteins inhibitors in the treatment of dyslipidemia. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ANGPTL3 protein, human). 0 (ANGPTL8 protein, human). 0 (Angiopoietin-Like Protein 3). 0 (Angiopoietin-Like Protein 8). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipoproteins). 0 (Peptide Hormones). 0 (Triglycerides). 0 (lipoprotein triglyceride). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fnu13124339 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Murawska&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Relationship+between+Serum+Angiopoietin-like+Proteins+3+and+8+and+Atherogenic+Lipid+Biomarkers+in+Non-Diabetic+Adults+Depends+on+Gender+and+Obesity.&volume=13&issue=12&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13124339&pmid=34959891&sid=OVID:medline + +<692> +Unique Identifier + 34944069 +Title + Multipotent Stromal Cells from Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue of Normal Weight and Obese Subjects: Modulation of Their Adipogenic Differentiation by Adenosine A1 Receptor Ligands. +Source + Cells. 10(12), 2021 12 17. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Zuccarini M; Lambertucci C; Carluccio M; Giuliani P; Ronci M; Spinaci A; Volpini R; Ciccarelli R; Di Iorio P +Author NameID + Lambertucci, Catia; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2004-1531 + Ronci, Maurizio; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0797-6087 + Volpini, Rosaria; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5304-5232 + Ciccarelli, Renata; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1412-738X +Authors Full Name + Zuccarini, Mariachiara; Lambertucci, Catia; Carluccio, Marzia; Giuliani, Patricia; Ronci, Maurizio; Spinaci, Andrea; Volpini, Rosaria; Ciccarelli, Renata; Di Iorio, Patrizia. +Institution + Zuccarini, Mariachiara.

Since full A1R agonists induce harmful side-effects, while partial agonists show a better pharmacological profile, we investigated the influence of two derivatives of the full A1R agonist 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA), C1 and C2 behaving as A1R partial agonists in animal models, on the adipogenic differentiation of stromal/stem cells (ASCs) from human subcutaneous adipose tissue, which mainly contribute to increase fat mass in obesity. The ASCs from normal-weight subjects showed increased proliferation and A1R expression but reduced adipogenic differentiation compared to obese individual-derived ASCs. Cell exposure to CCPA, C1, C2 or DPCPX, an A1R antagonist, did not affect ASC proliferation, while mainly C2 and DPCPX significantly decreased adipogenic differentiation of both ASC types, reducing the activity of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and the expression of PPARgamma and FABP-4, all adipogenic markers, and phosphorylation of Akt in the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase pathway, which plays a key-role in adipogenesis. While requiring confirmation in in vivo models, our results suggest that A1R partial agonists or antagonists, by limiting ASC differentiation into adipocytes and, thereby, fat mass expansion, could favor development/worsening of metabolic syndrome in obese subjects without a dietary control. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adenosine A1 Receptor Agonists). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Ligands). 0 (Receptor, Adenosine A1).

Whether gender-specific alterations and gender-restricted associations in these biomarkers underlie the increased cardiometabolic risk in men compared to women is unclear. We enrolled 31 women and 29 men, aged >=50 and <=70 years and with body mass index >= 30 and <40 kg/m2. We assessed the concentrations of aminothiols (cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione), expression of oxidant/antioxidant balance, adipomyokines (leptin, adiponectin, myostatin, and interleukin-6), markers of chronic inflammation, and vitamin D, an index of nutritional state, in plasma and serum samples by using HPLC, ELISA, and chemiluminescent immunoassay methods. We measured insulin resistance (IR) by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index. Despite comparable levels of visceral adiposity, IR, and a similar dietary regimen, men showed, with respect to women, higher oxidant concentrations and lower antioxidant levels, which paralleled IR severity. Myostatin levels correlated with prooxidant aminothiols among men only. Gender-specific alterations in aminothiol status and adipomyokine profile and the gender-restricted association between these biomarkers and metabolic derangement are consistent with an increased cardiometabolic risk in men compared to age-matched women with stage I-II obesity. Strict control of redox and inflammatory status, even addressing gender-specific nutritional targets, may be useful to prevent obesity-related metabolic alterations and comorbidities.

In this sense, the aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of a nanoemulsion containing SL NeSL (produced with olive oil, soybean oil and fully hydrogenated crambe oil), the behavior during in vitro digestion and the effects on biomarkers involved in the obesity in cell models. The samples showed good stability throughout storage (30 days) under refrigeration and room temperature and after the gastric digestion phase compared to the controls (nanoemulsion of olive and soybean oil). After the intestinal phase, there was an increase in oil droplet size and zeta potential, a characteristic of coalescence. In the lipid accumulation model in adipocytes, the highest concentration (50 microL/mL) of NeSL resulted in 42% less lipid accumulation, compared to the control. Furthermore, the sample was able to reduce inflammatory cytokines produced by macrophages provoked by LPS (lipopolysaccharide). The combination of the oils in NeSL resulted in a fatty acid profile with beneficial health properties, which may have contributed to less lipid accumulation and improved inflammatory parameters. This SL in the form of a nanoemulsion, may be used as a partial fat substitute in low-calorie food products. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

The present study aimed to investigate the association between serum irisin and a single CVRF as well as the clustering of CVRFs among Chinese overweight/obese population. + + METHODS: A total of 98 overweight and 93 obese subjects without clinical treatments were enrolled in this study. Subjects were then divided into two groups, based on the serum irisin level: a low irisin group (1.10-13.44 ng/ml) and a high irisin group (13.49-29.9 ng/ml). The clustering of CVRFs, smoking, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and hypertension, was classified as 0, 1, 2 and >= 3 CVRFs. The demographic and baseline clinical characteristics of all participants were collected and serum irisin was measured. + + RESULTS: The high serum irisin group had significantly higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol but lower fasting plasma glucose than the low serum irisin group. Additionally, the high serum irisin group had a significantly lower prevalence of smoking, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia than the low serum irisin group. Increased serum irisin was significantly associated with a reduced risk of smoking and dyslipidemia in both the unadjusted and adjusted models. Furthermore, high serum irisin significantly reduced the risk of the prevalence of 1, 2 and >= 3 CVRFs. + + CONCLUSIONS: among the Chinese overweight/obese populations, high serum irisin is negatively associated with smoking, dyslipidemia and the clustering of CVRFs.

In fact, due to their abundant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, there is a general interest in understanding the therapeutic effects of some major food-derived bioactive compounds like curcumin against diverse metabolic diseases. Hence, a systematic search, through prominent online databases such as MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar was done focusing on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting on the impact of curcumin supplementation in individuals with diverse metabolic complications, including obesity, T2D and NAFLD. Summarized findings suggest that curcumin supplementation can significantly reduce blood glucose and triglycerides levels, including markers of liver function like alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in patients with T2D and NAFLD. Importantly, this effect was consistent with the reduction of predominant markers of oxidative stress and inflammation, such as the levels of malonaldehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in these patients. Although RCTs suggest that curcumin is beneficial in ameliorating some metabolic complications, future research is still necessary to enhance its absorption and bioavailability profile, while also optimizing the most effective therapeutic doses. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers).

We apply Hitman in a retrospective, exploratory analysis of the SLIMM-T2D clinical trial in which participants with type 2 diabetes were randomized to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or nonsurgical diabetes/weight management, and fasting plasma proteome and metabolome were assayed up to 3 years. RYGB caused greater improvement in HbA1c, which was mediated by growth hormone receptor (GHR). GHR's mediation is more significant than clinical mediators, including BMI. GHR decreases at 3 months postoperatively alongside increased insulin-like growth factor binding proteins IGFBP1/BP2; plasma GH increased at 1 year. Experimental validation indicates (1) hepatic GHR expression decreases in post-bariatric rats; (2) GHR knockdown in primary hepatocytes decreases gluconeogenic gene expression and glucose production. Thus, RYGB may induce resistance to diabetogenic effects of GH signaling.Trial Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT01073020. Copyright © 2021.

We investigated the associations of changes in EC with changes in lifestyle, anthropometrics and biomarkers of glucose and lipid metabolism in 2291 adults at increased risk of type 2 diabetes as part of the StopDia study conducted in primary healthcare. EC and diet quality were assessed with validated digital questionnaires. During the intervention, the participants received either (1) the digital lifestyle intervention, (2) the combined digital and face-to-face group-based lifestyle intervention, or (3) standard care. EC increased among the participants independent of the intervention type. Increase in EC was associated with an increase in diet quality, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and with a decrease in body mass index and waist circumference, regardless of baseline EC. Of the subdomains of EC, the contextual skills, food acceptance and eating attitudes were associated with various of these changes. Our results thus suggest that EC could be a potential target in lifestyle interventions aiming to improve the cardiometabolic health of people at type 2 diabetes risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

This study aimed to examine associations of C-reactive protein (CRP) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) with sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in older adults with chronic comorbidities. Cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2006) were obtained for participants aged >=60 years. Sarcopenia was defined by a lean mass and body height (males < 7.26 kg/m2, females < 5.45 kg/m2). Sarcopenic obesity was defined by the concurrent presence of sarcopenia and obesity (defined by relative fat mass). Logistic regression was used to assess the associations of CRP and SII with sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity. The dose-response relationship was examined via restricted cubic splines. Of the participants (n = 2483), 23.1% (n = 574) and 7.7% (n = 190) had sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity, respectively. The multivariable logistic regression models suggested a positive association of SII with sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity, but a positive statistically significant association was not consistently observed for CRP. Dose-response curves suggested similar association patterns for these biomarkers. In clinical practice, measures to prevent sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity are needed for older vulnerable people with high systemic inflammation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fnu13113957 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Karanth&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Inflammation+in+Relation+to+Sarcopenia+and+Sarcopenic+Obesity+among+Older+Adults+Living+with+Chronic+Comorbidities%3A+Results+from+the+National+Health+and+Nutrition+Examination+Survey+1999-2006.&volume=13&issue=11&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13113957&pmid=34836213&sid=OVID:medline + +<701> +Unique Identifier + 34819543 +Title + Responses of different functional tests in candidates for bariatric surgery and the association with body composition, metabolic and lipid profile. +Source + Scientific Reports. 11(1):22840, 2021 11 24. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ricci PA; Andre LD; Jurgensen SP; de Oliveira CR; Ortega FP; Di Thommazo-Luporini L; Borghi-Silva A +Authors Full Name + Ricci, Paula Angelica; Andre, Larissa Delgado; Jurgensen, Soraia Pilon; de Oliveira, Claudio Ricardo; Ortega, Fernando Pinheiro; Di Thommazo-Luporini, Luciana; Borghi-Silva, Audrey. +Institution + Ricci, Paula Angelica.

The maximal incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test is widely used to assess functional capacity. However, submaximal tests such as the two-minute step test (2MST) and the six-minute walk test (6MWT) also allow this assessment. We propose to analyze whether body composition, metabolic and lipid profile influence the maximal and submaximal performance, and investigate these variables in response to different functional tests. Forty-four individuals with obesity, aged 18-50 years, underwent analysis of body composition, metabolic and lipid profile, incremental treadmill test (ITMT), 6MWT, and 2MST. One-way ANOVA, Pearson or Spearman correlation, and Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis were performed. ITMT induced a greater metabolic, ventilatory, cardiovascular, and perceived exertion demand when compared to the 6MWT and 2MST (p < 0.05). In addition, 2MST elicited a higher chronotropic (HR) and metabolic (VO2) demand when compared to the 6MWT (p < 0.05). Significant correlations were found between tests and body composition, metabolic and lipid profile. Fat mass and low-density lipoprotein can explain 30% of the VO2 variance in the ITMT; and fat mass, glucose, and performance in the 2MST can explain 42% of the variance of the distance walked in the ITMT. Obesity and its metabolic impairments are capable of influencing responses to exercise. ITMT generated greater demand due to the high stress imposed, however, 2MST demanded greater metabolic and chronotropic demand when compared to the 6MWT. Copyright © 2021.

In addition, the disease is affecting younger individuals. Therefore, it is essential to search for new diagnostic methods and markers for early assessment of the risk of obesity, metabolic disorders, and other comorbidities. The discovery of the secretory function of adipose tissue and coexistence of low-grade chronic inflammation with obesity set a new direction in this disease diagnosis using the assessment of the concentration of inflammatory markers secreted by adipose tissue. The aim of this review was to determine, based on previous findings, whether saliva can be useful in the diagnosis of obesity and its early metabolic complications and whether it can be an alternative diagnostic material to serum. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Body composition; anthropometric measures; metabolic and inflammatory markers including adiponectin, leptin, and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) were assessed at baseline and post-therapy. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the homeostasis model assessment of adiponectin (HOMA-AD) were calculated. The participants were divided into two groups: those with increased FGF21, and those with decreased FGF21. + + RESULTS: The sample comprised women aged 32 +/- 5 years with a body mass index of 33.64 +/- 3.49 kg/m2. Body weight, waist circumference and leptin concentration were decreased in the whole sample after therapy. However, only the group with an increase in FGF21 concentration presented significant improvements in adiponectin concentration and adiponectin/leptin ratio. Moreover, although there was a reduction of leptin in both groups, it was greater in the increased FGF21 groups. There was a reduction in ANP in the decreased FGF21 group. + + CONCLUSION: Changes in FGF21 concentrations were different among the women participating in the weight loss program, with some having increased levels and some reduced levels. Furthermore, improvements in adiponectin and the adiponectin/leptin ratio were found only in the group with increased FGF21 concentration. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). 0 (fibroblast growth factor 21). 62031-54-3 (Fibroblast Growth Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.20945%2f2359-3997000000419 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Damaso&issn=2359-3997&title=Archives+of+Endocrinology+%26+Metabolism&atitle=Effects+of+an+interdisciplinary+weight+loss+program+on+fibroblast+growth+factor+21+and+inflammatory+biomarkers+in+women+with+overweight+and+obesity.&volume=65&issue=6&spage=821&epage=831&date=2021&doi=10.20945%2F2359-3997000000419&pmid=34762789&sid=OVID:medline + +<704> +Unique Identifier + 34761580 +Title + Obesity is a predictive biomarker of poor benefit from single-agent bevacizumab therapy in recurrent ovarian cancer patients. +Source + Journal of B.U.On.. 26(5):1762-1767, 2021 Sep-Oct. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Yoshida H; Shintani D; Fujiwara K +Authors Full Name + Yoshida, Hiroyuki; Shintani, Daisuke; Fujiwara, Keiichi. +Institution + Yoshida, Hiroyuki.

However, no predictive biomarkers of clinical outcome for bevacizumab therapy have been identified. Adipose tissue secretes various growth factors, including VEGF, which may neutralize bevacizumab and attenuate its effects. Therefore, we evaluated whether obesity is a predictive biomarker of clinical outcome in ovarian cancer patients treated with single-agent bevacizumab. + + METHODS: Thirty patients with recurrent ovarian cancer treated with single-agent bevacizumab were studied. Body mass index (BMI) and visceral fat area (VFA) were measured to assess the presence of obesity. VFA was measured using computed tomography volume-analyzing software. The association of BMI and VFA with clinical outcomes were evaluated. + + RESULTS: High BMI and high VFA were significantly correlated with progressive disease (p=0.0195 and p=0.0352, respectively). A significant correlation was identified between high BMI and progressive disease in multivariate analysis (p=0.0459). Furthermore, there was a trend toward shorter progression-free survival and a significant shortening of overall survival in high-BMI patients compared with low-BMI patients (p=0.101 and p=0.0417, respectively). + + CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that obesity is a predictive biomarker of poor benefit from single-agent bevacizumab therapy in recurrent ovarian cancer patients. Obesity may be a useful benchmark for the administration of bevacizumab in daily clinical practice. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antineoplastic Agents, Immunological). 0 (Biomarkers). 2S9ZZM9Q9V (Bevacizumab). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&AN=34761580 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Yoshida&issn=1107-0625&title=Journal+of+B.U.On.&atitle=Obesity+is+a+predictive+biomarker+of+poor+benefit+from+single-agent+bevacizumab+therapy+in+recurrent+ovarian+cancer+patients.&volume=26&issue=5&spage=1762&epage=1767&date=2021&doi=&pmid=34761580&sid=OVID:medline + +<705> +Unique Identifier + 34757919 +Title + PM20D1 is a circulating biomarker closely associated with obesity, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. +Source + European Journal of Endocrinology. 186(2):151-161, 2021 Dec 10. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Yang R; Hu Y; Lee CH; Liu Y; Diaz-Canestro C; Fong CHY; Lin H; Cheng KKY; Pravelil AP; Song E; Lam KSL; Xu A +Authors Full Name + Yang, Ranyao; Hu, Yue; Lee, Chi Ho; Liu, Yan; Diaz-Canestro, Candela; Fong, Carol Ho Yi; Lin, Huige; Cheng, Kenneth K Y; Pravelil, Aparna Padmanabhan; Song, Erfei; Lam, Karen S L; Xu, Aimin. +Institution + Yang, Ranyao.

This study aimed to explore the associations of the circulating levels of PM20D1 and major NAAA with obesity-related metabolic complications in humans. + + DESIGN AND METHODS: Serum concentrations of PM20D1 and NAAA (C18:1-Leu and C18:1-Phe) in 256 Chinese subjects, including 78 lean and 178 overweight/obese individuals with or without diabetes, were measured with immunoassays and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, respectively. The impact of sulfonylurea and rosiglitazone on their circulating levels was examined in 62 patients with type 2 diabetes. + + RESULTS: Serum PM20D1 level was significantly elevated in overweight/obese individuals and was closely associated with circulating levels of C18:1-Leu and C18:1-Phe. Furthermore, serum PM20D1, C18:1-Leu and C18:1-Phe concentrations correlated positively with several parameters of adiposity as well as fasting and 2 h postprandial glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR independent of BMI and age. Moreover, a significant elevation in PM20D1, C18:1-Leu and C18:1-Phe concentrations corresponding with increases in the number of components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) was observed. Treatment with sulfonylurea significantly decreased circulating PM20D1, C18:1-Leu and C18:1-Phe in patients with type 2 diabetes. + + CONCLUSIONS: Increased serum levels of PM20D1 and its catalytic products NAAA are closely associated with obesity-related glucose dysregulation, insulin resistance and MetS and can be potentially used as clinical biomarkers for diagnosing and monitoring these disorders. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that the Hh signalling pathway induces a previously undefined long non-coding RNA (Hilnc, Hedgehog signalling-induced long non-coding RNA), which controls hepatic lipid metabolism. Mutation of the Gli-binding sites in the Hilnc promoter region (HilncBM/BM) decreases the expression of Hilnc in vitro and in vivo. HilncBM/BM and Hilnc-knockout mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity and hepatic steatosis through attenuation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signalling pathway, as Hilnc directly interacts with IGF2BP2 to enhance Ppargamma mRNA stability. Furthermore, we identify a potential functional human homologue of Hilnc, h-Hilnc, which has a similar function in regulating cellular lipid metabolism. These findings uncover a critical role of the Hh-Hilnc-IGF2BP2 signalling axis in lipid metabolism and suggest a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of diet-induced hepatic steatosis.

The serum metabolome was analysed from fasting samples with a targeted NMR-approach in early and late pregnancy. GDM was diagnosed by OGTT. + + FINDINGS: The intervention changed the metabolic profile of the women, but the effect was influenced by their GDM status. In women without GDM, the changes in nine lipids (FDR<0.05) in the fish oil+placebo-group differed when compared to the placebo+placebo-group. The combination of fish oil and probiotics induced changes in more metabolites, 46 of the lipid metabolites differed in women without GDM when compared to placebo+placebo-group; these included reduced increases in the concentrations and lipid constituents of VLDL-particles and less pronounced alterations in the ratios of various lipids in several lipoproteins. In women with GDM, no differences were detected in the changes of any metabolites due to any of the interventions when compared to the placebo+placebo-group (FDR<0.05). + + INTERPRETATION: Fish oil and particularly the combination of fish oil and probiotics modified serum lipids in pregnant women with overweight or obesity, while no such effects were seen with probiotics alone. The effects were most evident in the lipid contents of VLDL and LDL only in women without GDM. + + FUNDING: State Research Funding for university-level health research in the Turku University Hospital Expert Responsibility Area, Academy of Finland, the Diabetes Research Foundation, the Juho Vainio Foundation, Janssen Research & Development, LLC.

The Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) is a technology that translates protein information into actionable knowledge by linking protein-specific antibodies to DNA-encoded tags. In this report we demonstrate how we have combined the unique PEA technology with an innovative and automated sample preparation and high-throughput sequencing readout enabling parallel measurement of nearly 1500 proteins in 96 samples generating close to 150,000 data points per run. This advancement will have a major impact on the discovery of new biomarkers for disease prediction and prognosis and contribute to the development of the rapidly evolving fields of wellness monitoring and precision medicine.

Then, BMD readings of the femoral neck, total hip, and lumbar spine as well as measurements of the total lean mass (TLM), total fat mass (TFM), and trunk fat mass were obtained via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The quantitative transmission disequilibrium test was used to analyze the associations between specific SNPs and LGR4 haplotypes and peak BMD as well as between LGR4 haplotypes and TLM, percent lean mass, TFM, percent fat mass, trunk fat mass, and body mass index (BMI). + + Results: Here, rs7936621 was significantly associated with the BMD values for the total hip and lumbar spine, while rs10835171 and rs6484295 were associated with the trunk fat mass and BMI, respectively. Regarding the haplotypes, we found significant associations between GAA in block 2 and trunk fat mass and BMI, between AGCGT in block 3 and total hip BMD, between TGCTCC in block 5 and femoral neck BMD, and between TACTTC in block 5 and both lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD (all P-values < 0.05). + + Conclusion: Genetic variations of the LGR4 gene are related to peak BMD, BMI, and trunk fat mass.

Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of obesity and T2D and a well-accepted major contributor to DR, and retinal photoreceptors are a major source of intraocular inflammation and directly contribute to vascular abnormalities in diabetes. However, how diabetic insults cause photoreceptor inflammation is not well known. In this study, we used a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced T2D mouse model and cultured photoreceptors treated with palmitic acid (PA) to decipher major players that mediate high-fat-induced photoreceptor inflammation. We found that PA-elicited microRNA-150 (miR-150) decreases with a consistent upregulation of ETS-domain transcription factor 1 (Elk1), a downstream target of miR-150, in PA-elicited photoreceptor inflammation. We compared wild-type (WT) and miR-150 null (miR-150-/- ) mice fed with an HFD and found that deletion of miR-150 exacerbated HFD-induced photoreceptor inflammation in conjunction with upregulated ELK1. We further delineated the critical cellular localization of phosphorylated ELK1 at serine 383 (pELK1S383 ) and found that decreased miR-150 exacerbated the T2D-induced inflammation in photoreceptors by upregulating ELK1 and pELK1S383 , and knockdown of ELK1 alleviated PA-elicited photoreceptor inflammation.

The current study included such biomarkers as interleukin-6 (IL-6), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), C-X3-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 1 (CX3CL1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and nitric oxide (NO). The measurements were performed with the ELISA method before and after 3-month-long supplementation of 2000 IU of vitamin D orally. The results showed that the therapy did not induce any statistically significant changes in serum levels of MCP-1, IL-6, CX3CL1, and PACAP. The supplementation was related to a significant increase in measurements of NO and AOPP levels, although the correlation analysis between vitamin D concentration after its supplementation and the concentration of the molecular parameters did not show significant relation. In conclusion, our study seems to contradict certain aspects of findings available in the literature regarding the vitamin D's impact. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fcimb43030114 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Wicinski&issn=1467-3037&title=Current+Issues+in+Molecular+Biology&atitle=Impact+of+Vitamin+D+Supplementation+on+Inflammatory+Markers%27+Levels+in+Obese+Patients.&volume=43&issue=3&spage=1606&epage=1622&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fcimb43030114&pmid=34698104&sid=OVID:medline + +<712> +Unique Identifier + 34698087 +Title + Molecular Profiling of DNA Methylation and Alternative Splicing of Genes in Skeletal Muscle of Obese Rabbits. +Source + Current Issues in Molecular Biology. 43(3):1558-1575, 2021 Oct 11. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Li Y; Wang J; Elzo MA; Fan H; Du K; Xia S; Shao J; Lai T; Hu S; Jia X; Lai S +Author NameID + Wang, Jie; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1399-7079 + Jia, Xianbo; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6885-4104 +Authors Full Name + Li, Yanhong; Wang, Jie; Elzo, Mauricio A; Fan, Huimei; Du, Kun; Xia, Siqi; Shao, Jiahao; Lai, Tianfu; Hu, Shenqiang; Jia, Xianbo; Lai, Songjia. +Institution + Li, Yanhong.

However, both are currently uncharacterized in the muscle metabolism of rabbits. Thus, we constructed the Tianfu black rabbit obesity model (obese rabbits fed with a 10% high-fat diet and control rabbits from 35 days to 70 days) and collected the skeletal muscle samples from the two groups for Genome methylation sequencing and RNA sequencing. DNA methylation data showed that the promoter regions of 599 genes and gene body region of 2522 genes had significantly differential methylation rates between the two groups, of which 288 genes had differential methylation rates in promoter and gene body regions. Analysis of alternative splicing showed 555 genes involved in exon skipping (ES) patterns, and 15 genes existed in differential methylation regions. Network analysis showed that 20 hub genes were associated with ubiquitinated protein degradation, muscle development pathways, and skeletal muscle energy metabolism. Our findings suggest that the two types of genetic modification have potential regulatory effects on skeletal muscle development and provide a basis for further mechanistic studies in the rabbit. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fcimb43030110 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Li&issn=1467-3037&title=Current+Issues+in+Molecular+Biology&atitle=Molecular+Profiling+of+DNA+Methylation+and+Alternative+Splicing+of+Genes+in+Skeletal+Muscle+of+Obese+Rabbits.&volume=43&issue=3&spage=1558&epage=1575&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fcimb43030110&pmid=34698087&sid=OVID:medline + +<713> +Unique Identifier + 34696714 +Title + Circulating adipsin is associated with asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis in obese adults. +Source + BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. 21(1):517, 2021 10 25. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Zhang J; Teng F; Pan L; Guo D; Liu J; Li K; Yuan Y; Li W; Zhang H +Authors Full Name + Zhang, Jinhua; Teng, Fei; Pan, Lingling; Guo, Dan; Liu, Jianfang; Li, Kangli; Yuan, Youwen; Li, Wenyuan; Zhang, Huijie. +Institution + Zhang, Jinhua.

However, it is not clear regarding the association of circulating adipsin with cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study will explore the association between circulating adipsin and asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis in Chinese obese adults. + + METHODS: A total of 483 obese adult subjects (aged 40 years or older) were enrolled in this study. Serum adipsin concentrations and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) were measured to determine these associations. + + RESULTS: Individuals with increased CIMT and asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis had lower levels of circulating adipsin than controls (both p < 0.05). The prevalence of asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis was significantly higher in subjects with lower levels of serum adipsin than those with higher values (42.5% vs. 36.7%, p < 0.05). Notably, subjects in the lowest quartile of serum adipsin were 1.94 times (p = 0.059) more likely to have increased CIMT and 2.91 times (p = 0.03) more likely to have asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis than those in the highest quartile in multivariable logistic regression analyses, adjusting for age, gender, current smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, BMI, systolic BP, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-c, and HOMA-IR. However, such associations with circulating adipsin were not noted for atherosclerotic plaque. + + CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that circulating adipsin concentrations are a potential marker of risks of increased CIMT and asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis in obese Chinese adults.

In vitro and animal studies have elucidated its role in meta-inflammation. Since SRA1 AT expression in obesity/type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the relationship with immune-metabolic signatures remains unclear, we assessed AT SRA1 expression and its association with immune-metabolic markers in individuals with obesity/T2D. For this, 55 non-diabetic and 53 T2D individuals classified as normal weight (NW; lean), overweight, and obese were recruited and fasting blood and subcutaneous fat biopsy samples were collected. Plasma metabolic markers were assessed using commercial kits and AT expression of SRA1 and selected immune markers using RT-qPCR. SRA1 expression was significantly higher in non-diabetic obese compared with NW individuals. SRA1 expression associated with BMI, PBF, serum insulin, and HOMA-IR in the total study population and people without diabetes. SRA1 associated with waist circumference in people without diabetes and NW participants, whereas it associated inversely with HbA1c in overweight participants. In most study subgroups AT SRA1 expression associated directly with CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta, IL2RA, and IL18, but inversely with CCL19 and CCR2. TGF-beta/IL18 independently predicted the SRA1 expression in people without diabetes and in the total study population, while TNF-alpha/IL-2RA predicted SRA1 only in people with diabetes. TNF-alpha also predicted SRA1 in both NW and obese people regardless of the diabetes status. In conclusion, AT SRA1 expression is elevated in people with obesity which associates with typical immunometabolic markers of obesity/T2D, implying that SRA1 may have potential as a biomarker of metabolic derangements. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Carrier Proteins). 0 (steroid receptor RNA activator, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring compound that demonstrates antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Improvements in measures of metabolic health have been observed in mouse models of obesity and diabetes following MSM treatment. However, the effects of MSM on obesity-related diseases in humans have not been investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to determine whether MSM supplementation improves cardiometabolic health, and markers of inflammation and oxidative status. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design was utilized with a total of 22 overweight or obese adults completing the study. Participants received either a placebo (white rice flour) or 3 g MSM daily for 16 weeks. Measurements occurred at baseline and after 4, 8, and 16 weeks. Outcome measures included fasting glucose, insulin, blood lipids, blood pressure, body composition, metabolic rate, and markers of inflammation and oxidative status. The primary finding of this work shows that high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was elevated at 8 and 16 weeks of daily MSM consumption compared to baseline, (p = 0.008, p = 0.013). Our findings indicate that MSM supplementation may improve the cholesterol profile by resulting in higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (Sulfones). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 9H4PO4Z4FT (dimethyl sulfone).

(2) Methods: To further investigate this immunometabolic modulation, we profiled the phospholipidome of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in lean, normoglycemic obese (OBNG) and obese with dysglycemia (OBDysG) individuals. (3) Results: The global PBMCs phospholipidome is significantly downmodulated in OBDysG unlike OBNG patients when compared to lean ones. Multiple linear regression analyses show a strong negative relationship between the global PBMCs phospholipidome and parameters assessing insulin resistance. Even though all classes of phospholipid are affected, the relative abundance of each class is maintained with the exception of Lyso-PC/PC and Lyso-PE/PE ratios that are downmodulated in PBMCs of OBDysG compared to OBNG individuals. Interestingly, the percentage of saturated PC is positively associated with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Moreover, a few lipid species are significantly downmodulated in PBMCs of OBDysG compared to OBNG individuals, making possible to distinguish the two phenotypes. (4) Conclusions: This lipidomic study highlights for the first-time modulations of the PBMCs phospholipidome in obese patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Such phospholipidome remodeling could disrupt the cell membranes and the lipid mediator's levels, driving an immune cell dysfunction. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (Membrane Lipids). 0 (Phospholipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fnu13103461 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Wilkin&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=New+Insights+on+the+PBMCs+Phospholipidome+in+Obesity+Demonstrate+Modulations+Associated+with+Insulin+Resistance+and+Glycemic+Status.&volume=13&issue=10&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13103461&pmid=34684461&sid=OVID:medline + +<717> +Unique Identifier + 34684445 +Title + Craniopharyngioma, Chronotypes and Metabolic Risk Profile. +Source + Nutrients. 13(10), 2021 Sep 28. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Di Somma C; Scarano E; Barrea L; Solari D; Riccio E; Arianna R; Cavallo LM; Romano F; Di Benedetto E; Rodriguez A; de Alteriis G; Colao A +Author NameID + Barrea, Luigi; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9054-456X + Solari, Domenico; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1535-8737 +Authors Full Name + Di Somma, Carolina; Scarano, Elisabetta; Barrea, Luigi; Solari, Domenico; Riccio, Enrico; Arianna, Rossana; Cavallo, Luigi Maria; Romano, Fiammetta; Di Benedetto, Elea; Rodriguez, Alice; de Alteriis, Giulia; Colao, Annamaria. +Institution + Di Somma, Carolina.

In this study sample, we evaluated: anthropometric measurements (waist circumference, WC; BMI), plasma glucose, lipid profile, and systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure. Morningness-Eveningness was measured with the Horne-Ostberg Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), which included 19 questions about preferred sleep time and daily performance. + + RESULTS: in both patients and controls grade I obesity was detected in 15 subjects (53.6%), grade II obesity in 13 subjects (46.4%). In the patient group, the mean score of chronotype was 47.8 +/- 12.6. In particular, 9 patients (32.1%) exhibited the morning chronotype, 6 (21.4%) the intermediate chronotype and 13 (46.4.%) the evening chronotype. No significant difference was found in gender and age among the chronotype categories. Patients with the evening chronotype had higher blood pressure values and worse metabolic parameters than those with the morning chronotype. In the control group, the mean score of the chronotype was 57.6 +/- 9.5. In particular, 16 (57.1%) subjects exhibited the morning chronotype, 10 (35.7%) the intermediate chronotype and only 2 (7.1.%) the evening chronotype. The prevalence of intermediate and evening chronotypes was higher in females than males (p = 0.021), while males have a higher prevalence of the morning chronotype. Subjects with intermediate and evening chronotypes had worse metabolic parameters than those with the morning chronotype. In patients, the chronotype score was inversely correlated to WC, BMI, SBP, DBP, plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and positively correlated with HDL cholesterol. No correlation was found between age and chronotype. In controls, the chronotype score was inversely correlated to WC, BMI, plasma glucose, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol. No correlation was found among chronotype and age, blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol. Considering the whole population of the study (patients and controls), at logistic regression the chronotype score was significantly associated with the presence of CP. + + CONCLUSIONS: for the first time thus far, our study puts the light on the association of the CP with chronotypes and metabolic alterations in this disease, which are the main determinants of the reduced quality of life, higher morbidity and mortality in this setting of patients. This finding suggests that alterations of chronotype might represent an adjunctive risk for CP patients and a possible target for their integrate management. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fnu13103444 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Di+Somma&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Craniopharyngioma%2C+Chronotypes+and+Metabolic+Risk+Profile.&volume=13&issue=10&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13103444&pmid=34684445&sid=OVID:medline + +<718> +Unique Identifier + 34684443 +Title + Is the Phenylalanine-Restricted Diet a Risk Factor for Overweight or Obesity in Patients with Phenylketonuria (PKU)?

This systematic review aimed to determine if patients with PKU are at a higher risk of overweight compared to healthy individuals. A literature search was carried out on PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases. Risk of bias of individual studies was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies, and the quality of the evidence for each outcome was assessed using the NutriGrade scoring system. From 829 articles identified, 15 were included in the systematic review and 12 in the meta-analysis. Body mass index (BMI) was similar between patients with PKU and healthy controls, providing no evidence to support the idea that a Phe-restricted diet is a risk factor for the development of overweight. However, a subgroup of patients with classical PKU had a significantly higher BMI than healthy controls. Given the increasing prevalence of overweight in the general population, patients with PKU require lifelong follow-up, receiving personalised nutritional counselling, with methodical nutritional status monitoring from a multidisciplinary team in inherited metabolic disorders. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 47E5O17Y3R (Phenylalanine). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

In a post hoc longitudinal analysis of a randomized, controlled trial, we aimed to investigate whether infertile women with PCOS and obesity (N = 87) responded differently to a 6-month lifestyle intervention program than infertile non-PCOS obese controls (N = 172). We evaluated several aspects of the intervention such as changes in diet, physical activity, and dropout rate, as well as the effect on weight, quality of life (QoL), and cardiometabolic outcomes. Multilevel analyses were used, and analyses were adjusted for baseline characteristics such as age, education, and smoking. Although BMI in both groups significantly decreased at 3 months and 6 months, there were no significant differences between the groups at 3 months (adjusted B: -0.3, 95% CI: -0.9 to 0.3, p = 0.35) and 6 months (adjusted B: 0.5, 95% CI: -0.4 to 1.4, p = 0.29). Women with PCOS and non-PCOS women had similar compliance with the lifestyle intervention in terms of actual change in diet and physical activity. Mental QoL scores were not different at either 3 or 6 months. Physical QoL scores were lower in women with PCOS compared with non-PCOS women at 3 months (adjusted B: -2.4, 95% CI: -4.8 to -0.06, p = 0.045) but not at 6 months. Cardiometabolic parameters did not differ between the groups. Our results showed that infertile women with PCOS and obesity and non-PCOS obese controls responded largely similarly to our lifestyle intervention and achieved the same level of improvement in markers of cardiometabolic health. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fnu13103425 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Wang&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Effectiveness+of+a+6-Month+Lifestyle+Intervention+on+Diet%2C+Physical+Activity%2C+Quality+of+Life%2C+and+Markers+of+Cardiometabolic+Health+in+Women+with+PCOS+and+Obesity+and+Non-PCOS+Obese+Controls%3A+One+Size+Fits+All%3F.&volume=13&issue=10&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13103425&pmid=34684438&sid=OVID:medline + +<720> +Unique Identifier + 34684414 +Title + Antioxidants Supplementation Reduces Ceramide Synthesis Improving the Cardiac Insulin Transduction Pathway in a Rodent Model of Obesity. +Source + Nutrients. 13(10), 2021 Sep 28. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Hodun K; Sztolsztener K; Chabowski A +Author NameID + Hodun, Katarzyna; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2102-7638 + Sztolsztener, Klaudia; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1354-7585 + Chabowski, Adrian; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7407-8156 +Authors Full Name + Hodun, Katarzyna; Sztolsztener, Klaudia; Chabowski, Adrian. +Institution + Hodun, Katarzyna.

Despite numerous studies on lipid metabolism in the left ventricle, there is no data describing the influence of n-acetylcysteine (NAC) and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), as glutathione precursors, on sphingolipid metabolism, and insulin resistance (IR) occurrence. The aim of our experiment was to evaluate the influence of chronic antioxidants administration on myocardial sphingolipid state and intracellular insulin signaling as a potential therapeutic strategy for obesity-related cardiovascular IR. The experiment was conducted on male Wistar rats fed a standard rodent chow or a high-fat diet with intragastric administration of NAC or ALA for eight weeks. Cardiac and plasma sphingolipid species were assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The proteins expressed from sphingolipid and insulin signaling pathways were determined by Western blot. Antioxidant supplementation markedly reduced ceramide accumulation by lowering the expression of selected proteins from the sphingolipid pathway and simultaneously increased the myocardial sphingosine-1-phosphate level. Moreover, NAC and ALA augmented the expression of GLUT4 and the phosphorylation state of Akt (Ser473) and GSK3beta (Ser9), which improved the intracellular insulin transduction pathway. Based on our results, we may postulate that NAC and ALA have a beneficial influence on the cardiac ceramidose under IR conditions. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Ceramides). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Sphingolipids).

Thus, this study tested whether obesogenic and ketogenic diets distinctly affect SARS-CoV-2 entry proteins and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in rat pulmonary and cardiac tissues. + + METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either standard chow (SC), a high-fat sucrose-enriched diet (HFS), or a ketogenic diet (KD) for 16 weeks. Afterwards, levels of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2), RAS components, and inflammatory genes were measured in the lungs and hearts of these animals. + + RESULTS: In the lungs, HFS elevated ACE2 and TMPRSS2 levels relative to SC diet, whereas the KD lowered the levels of these proteins and the gene expressions of toll-like receptor 4 and interleukin-6 receptor relative to HFS. The diets did not alter ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in the heart, although ACE2 was more abundant in heart than lung tissues. + + CONCLUSION: Diet-induced obesity increased the levels of viral entry proteins in the lungs, providing a mechanism whereby SARS-CoV-2 infectivity can be enhanced in obese individuals. Conversely, by maintaining low levels of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 and by exerting an anti-inflammatory effect, the KD can potentially attenuate the severity of infection and migration of SARS-CoV-2 to other ACE2-expressing tissues. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Here, lipids and other metabolic markers in relation to vascular function and clinical markers were evaluated in RA and AS patients undergoing one-year anti-TNF therapy. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-three patients including 36 RA patients treated with either etanercept (ETN) or certolizumab pegol (CZP) and 17 AS patients treated with ETN were included in a 12-month follow-up study. Various lipids, paraoxonase (PON) and arylesterase (ARE) activities, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and adipokine levels were determined overtime. Ultrasonography was performed to determine flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD), common carotid intima-media thickness (ccIMT), and arterial pulse-wave velocity (PWV) in all patients. All assessments were performed at baseline and 6 and 12 months after treatment initiation. + + RESULTS: Anti-TNF therapy decreased ARE activity, MPO, adiponectin, and chemerin levels after 12 months (p < 0.05). Lipids, PON activity, and leptin remained unchanged. Regression analyses suggested variable associations of IMT, PWV, and FMD with ARE, MPO, leptin, and lipids (p < 0.05). On the other hand, these metabolic parameters were significantly associated with disease duration, CV history, CRP, obesity, PWV, and IMT (p < 0.05). One-year anti-TNF treatment together with baseline leptin (p = 0.039) or CRP (p = 0.016) levels determined 12 months of lipid changes overtime. TNF inhibition together with baseline disease activity determined ARE activity changes (p = 0.046). Anti-TNF therapy and baseline chemerin levels determined IMT changes overtime (p = 0.003). + + CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of various metabolic parameters together with disease activity, CRP, and ultrasound-based techniques may exert additional value in determining CV burden and in monitoring the effects of biologics on preclinical vascular pathophysiology. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein).

In the present study, we explored the effects of NPGL on feeding behavior and energy metabolism in mice placed on a long-term high-fat diet with 60% calories from fat (HFD 60). Overexpression of the NPGL precursor gene (Npgl) over 18 weeks increased food intake and weight. The weekly weight gain of Npgl-overexpressing mice was higher than that of controls until 7 weeks from induction of overexpression, after which it ceased to be so. Oral glucose tolerance tests showed that Npgl overexpression maintained glucose tolerance and increased blood insulin levels, and intraperitoneal insulin tolerance tests showed that it maintained insulin sensitivity. At the experimental endpoint, Npgl overexpression was associated with increased mass of the perirenal white adipose tissue (WAT) and decreased mass of the epididymal WAT (eWAT), resulting in little effect on the total WAT mass. These results suggest that under long-term HFD 60 feeding, Npgl overexpression may play a role in avoiding metabolic disturbance both by accelerating energy storage and by suppressing excess fat accumulation in certain tissues, such as the eWAT. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Nerve Tissue Proteins). 0 (RNA, Messenger). 0 (neurosecretory protein GL, mouse). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fmolecules26196006 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Fukumura&issn=1420-3049&title=Molecules&atitle=Overexpression+of+the+Gene+Encoding+Neurosecretory+Protein+GL+Precursor+Prevents+Excessive+Fat+Accumulation+in+the+Adipose+Tissue+of+Mice+Fed+a+Long-Term+High-Fat+Diet.&volume=26&issue=19&spage=6006&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fmolecules26196006&pmid=34641550&sid=OVID:medline + +<724> +Unique Identifier + 34638758 +Title + Epigenetic Biomarkers of Transition from Metabolically Healthy Obesity to Metabolically Unhealthy Obesity Phenotype: A Prospective Study. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 22(19), 2021 Sep 27. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Gutierrez-Repiso C; Linares-Pineda TM; Gonzalez-Jimenez A; Aguilar-Lineros F; Valdes S; Soriguer F; Rojo-Martinez G; Tinahones FJ; Morcillo S +Author NameID + Gutierrez-Repiso, Carolina; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5842-8873 + Valdes, Sergio; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8623-4331 + Rojo-Martinez, Gemma; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2179-2134 + Morcillo, Sonsoles; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6932-5637 +Authors Full Name + Gutierrez-Repiso, Carolina; Linares-Pineda, Teresa Maria; Gonzalez-Jimenez, Andres; Aguilar-Lineros, Francisca; Valdes, Sergio; Soriguer, Federico; Rojo-Martinez, Gemma; Tinahones, Francisco J; Morcillo, Sonsoles. +Institution + Gutierrez-Repiso, Carolina.

In this field, epigenetics, in particular DNA methylation deserves special attention. + + RESULTS: The aim of the present study was to analyze the long-term evolution of methylation patterns in a subset of metabolically healthy subjects in order to search for epigenetic markers that could predict the progression to an unhealthy state. Twenty-six CpG sites were significantly differentially methylated, both at baseline and 11-year follow-up. These sites were related to 19 genes or pseudogenes; a more in-depth analysis of the methylation sites of these genes showed that CYP2E1 had 50% of the collected CpG sites differently methylated between stable metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and unstable MHO, followed by HLA-DRB1 (33%), ZBTB45 (16%), HOOK3 (14%), PLCZ1 (14%), SLC1A1 (12%), MUC2 (12%), ZFPM2 (12.5%) and HLA-DQB2 (8%). Pathway analysis of the selected 26 CpG sites showed enrichment in pathways linked to th1 and th2 activation, antigen presentation, allograft rejection signals and metabolic processes. Higher methylation levels in the cg20707527 (ZFPM2) could have a protective effect against the progression to unstable MHO (OR: 0.21, 95%CI (0.067-0.667), p < 0.0001), whilst higher methylation levels in cg11445109 (CYP2E1) would increase the progression to MUO; OR: 2.72, 95%CI (1.094-6.796), p < 0.0014; respectively). + + CONCLUSIONS: DNA methylation status is associated with the stability/worsening of MHO phenotype. Two potential biomarkers of the transition to an unhealthy state were identified and deserve further investigation (cg20707527 and cg11445109). Moreover, the described differences in methylation could alter immune system-related pathways, highlighting these pathways as therapeutic targets to prevent metabolic deterioration in MHO patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Clinical Trial.

Primary endpoints included measures of adiposity, body composition, blood pressure, fasting serum lipids, blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and C-reactive protein (CRP) and were assessed at baseline and study end. Pre- and postintervention results were compared using linear mixed models, adjusted for growth, age, and sex. + + RESULTS: Dairy fat intake was reduced by an adjusted (mean +/- SEM) 12.9 +/- 4.1 g/d in the reduced-fat compared with the whole-fat dairy group (95% CI: -21.2, -4.6 g/d; P = 0.003), whereas dietary energy intakes remained similar (P = 0.936). We found no significant differential changes between dairy groups in any measure of adiposity, body composition, blood pressure, or fasting serum lipids, glucose, HbA1c, and CRP. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that although changing from whole-fat to reduced-fat dairy products does reduce dairy fat intake, it does not result in changes to markers of adiposity or cardiometabolic disease risk in healthy children.

This study attempted to identify the metabolic characteristics of subjects with perimenopause obesity (PO). Thirty-nine perimenopausal Chinese women, 21 with PO and 18 without obesity (PN), were recruited in this study. A conventional ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight/mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF/MS) followed by principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were used as untargeted metabolomics approaches to explore the serum metabolic profiles. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and MetaboAnalyst were used to identify the related metabolic pathways. A total of 46 differential metabolites, along with seven metabolic pathways relevant to PO were identified, which belonged to lipid, amino acids, carbohydrates, and organic acids. As for amino acids, we found a significant increase in l-arginine and d-ornithine in the positive ion (POS) mode and l-leucine, l-valine, l-tyrosine, and N-acetyl-l-tyrosine in the negative ion (NEG) mode and a significant decrease in l-proline in the POS mode of the PO group. We also found phosphatidylcholine (PC) (16:0/16:0), palmitic acid, and myristic acid, which are associated with the significant upregulation of lipid metabolism. Moreover, the serum indole lactic acid and indoleacetic acid were upregulated in the NEG mode. With respect to the metabolic pathways, the d-arginine and d-ornithine metabolisms and the arginine and proline metabolism pathways in POS mode were the most dominant PO-related pathways. The changes of metabolisms of lipid, amino acids, and indoleacetic acid provided a pathophysiological scenario for Chinese women with PO. We believe that the findings of this study are helpful for clinicians to take measures to prevent the women with PO from developing severe incurable obesity-related complications, such as cardiovascular disease and stroke.

An inverse association between serum lipid levels and risk of cancer has led to a controversy among previous studies. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the association between blood lipids change and risk of cancer incidence. + + METHODS: A cohort of 4130 Taiwanese adults from the Taiwanese Survey on the Prevalence of Hypertension, Hyperglycemia, and Hyperlipidemia database underwent repeated examinations in 2002 and 2007. Six groups were established based on the combined baseline (lower/higher) and interval change (decreasing/stable/increasing) in plasma lipid levels. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard model was used to investigate the relationship between lipids change and all-cause cancer incidence. + + RESULTS: Two hundred and forty cancer events developed over a median follow-up of 13.4 years. Comparing these with individuals with decreasing lower-baseline lipid levels, cancer risk reduction was demonstrated in those with increasing lower-baseline total cholesterol (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.27 to 0.85), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; aHR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.35 to 0.92), and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) (aHR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.31 to 0.92) levels. A decreased risk for cancer incidence also presented in participants with stable lower-baseline, decreasing and increasing higher-baseline LDL-C levels, and with decreasing and stable higher-baseline non-HDL-C levels. + + CONCLUSIONS: The interval decline in lower-baseline total cholesterol, LDL-C, and non-HDL-C levels was linked to a higher risk for all-cause cancer incidence. More attention to a potential cancer risk may be warranted for an unexplained fall in serum lipids. Copyright © 2021.

A total of 159 overweight/obese patients with T2DM were randomized to the EXE group or insulin glargine (GLAR) control group for a total treatment period of 24 weeks. EXE intervention significantly reduced the urine albumin concentration (UAC) at week 12 and 24 endpoints (P < 0.001 at week 12 and 24). The levels of the anthropometric, glucose and lipid parameters (TG and HDL-c), and inflammation biomarkers (CRP and TNF-alpha) in the EXE group were improved at 12 weeks or 24 weeks, respectively. Meanwhile, a comparison between two groups showed significant changes in anthropometric parameters, glucose parameters, lipid parameters (TG and HDL-c), and Inflammation biomarkers (CRP, IL-6, and TNF-alpha). Serum fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) was increased in the EXE group (P = 0.005) at week 24, and the change was significantly improved compared with GLAR group (P = 0.003). Correlation network analysis showed that FGF21 had a more central role in improving metabolism in the EXE group, and the change of FGF 21 was significantly negatively correlated with UAC at week 12 and week 24, respectively (r = - 0.297, P = 0.010; r = - 0.294, P = 0.012). Our results showed that EXE could help patients improve UAC, glycemic levels, and inflammatory biomarkers after a follow-up period of 24 weeks intervention. These EXE effects may be partly mediated by FGF 21, indicating that EXE is an effective and safe way to control albuminuria in overweight/obese patients with T2DM. Copyright © 2021.

The present study was conducted to test the hypothesis that suboptimal levels of 25(OH)D are related to oxidative/antioxidative biomarkers in adults independently of obesity. + + METHODS: In this case-control study, 140 subjects with obesity and 90 age- and sex-matched 25(OH)D sufficient normal weight controls were selected. Subjects with obesity were categorized as 25(OH)D sufficient, insufficient, and deficient based on their serum 25(OH)D concentrations. Serum malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidant status (TOS), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) as well as erythrocytes superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (CAT) along with serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) and arylesterase (AREase) activities were assessed. + + RESULTS: Serum concentrations of 25(OH)D were inversely correlated with BMI, WC, fat mass, and visceral fat. Serum levels of MDA and TOS, and erythrocyte SOD activities were significantly higher, whereas, serum TAC, PON1, and AREase were significantly lower in subjects with obesity compared to the controls (p < 0.0001). 25(OH)D deficient obese subjects exhibited higher serum levels of MDA as well as erythrocyte SOD activity (p < 0.05) and lower serum levels of TAC (p < 0.0001), PON1 (p < 0.05), and AREase (p < 0.0001) compared to obese subjects with 25(OH)D sufficiency and controls even when adjusted for BMI. + + CONCLUSIONS: The present findings demonstrated a strong association between the severity of 25(OH)D deficiency and oxidative/antioxidative related parameters independently of obesity.

In total, 94 patients (55 obese and 39 non-obese) were initially evaluated, seven were lost during follow-up, resulting in 87 individuals at the end of the study. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months post periodontal treatment by FMD. Salivary nitrite levels were determined using Griess reagent. Blood samples were collected to determine C-Reactive Protein (CRP), alkaline phosphatase and fasting blood glucose. Real-time PCR was used to determine the total subgingival bacterial load. FMD protocol resulted in increased salivary nitrite levels at 6- and 9-months post-treatment in the non-obese group (p<0.05). In obese individuals, FMD treatment led to an increase in salivary nitrite levels at 6 months (p<0.05); however, at 9 months, the nitrite levels returned to baseline levels. For both groups, the highest nitrite values were observed at 6 months. In addition, in both groups, FMD was associated with a decrease in biomarkers related to systemic inflammation and cardiovascular diseases, such as CRP (p<0.05) and alkaline phosphatase (p<0.05), and had no impact on the fasting blood glucose. This study demonstrates that obese patients with periodontitis present similar salivary nitrite levels when compared with non-obese individuals. FMD protocol resulted in increases in salivary nitrite levels and was associated with a positive impact on systemic biomarkers, regardless of obesity status. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Nitrites). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.1590%2f0103-6440202103782 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Cortelli&issn=0103-6440&title=Brazilian+Dental+Journal&atitle=Salivary+nitrite+and+systemic+biomarkers+in+obese+individuals+with+periodontitis+submitted+to+FMD.&volume=32&issue=2&spage=27&epage=36&date=2021&doi=10.1590%2F0103-6440202103782&pmid=34614058&sid=OVID:medline + +<731> +Unique Identifier + 34611217 +Title + Personalized diet study of dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) genotypes in obesity. +Source + Scientific Reports. 11(1):19725, 2021 10 05. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Mahmoudinezhad M; Farhangi MA; Kahroba H; Dehghan P +Authors Full Name + Mahmoudinezhad, Mahsa; Farhangi, Mahdieh Abbasalizad; Kahroba, Houman; Dehghan, Parvin. +Institution + Mahmoudinezhad, Mahsa.

It is logical to consider new approaches to halt its prevalence. In this concept, considering the effect of interaction between fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) gene variants and dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on obesity-related characteristics seems to be challenging. The present cross-sectional study conducted among 347 obese individuals. A validated semi-quantitative 147-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to estimate dietary intakes and American multiethnic database was used to calculate AGEs content of food items which were not available in Iranian Food Composition Table (FCT). FADS2 gene variants were determined according to Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to evaluate the modifier effect of FADS2 gene-dietary AGEs on biochemical values. Based on our findings, no significant differences was reported in term of biochemical variables between AGEs tertiles. In contrast, percent of macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein and fat) of total calorie intake, amount of daily intake of fiber and meat groups showed a significant differences among AGEs tertiles. Furthermore, statistical assays clarified the modifier effects of FADS2 gene-AGEs on weight (Pinteraction = 0.04), fat mass (Pinteraction = 0.03), waist circumference (Pinteraction = 0.008) and cholesterol (Pinteraction = 0.04) level. Accordingly, higher consumption of protein or fat based foods constitute high amount of AGEs and heterozygote genotype for FADS2 tended to show lower level of AGEs content. These findings address further investigation to develop new approaches for nutritional interventions. Copyright © 2021.

Here we investigated regulation of afamin in a course of the metabolic disease development and in response to 3-month exercise intervention. + + Methods: We measured whole-body insulin sensitivity (euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp), glucose tolerance, abdominal adiposity, hepatic lipid content (magnetic resonance imaging/spectroscopy), habitual physical activity (accelerometers) and serum afamin (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) in 71 middle-aged men with obesity, prediabetes and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Effects of 3-month exercise were investigated in 22 overweight-to-obese middle-aged individuals (16M/6F). + + Results: Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, but not obesity, were associated with increased serum afamin (p<0.001). Afamin correlated positively with hepatic lipids, fatty liver index and liver damage markers; with parameters of adiposity (waist circumference, %body fat, adipocyte diameter) and insulin resistance (fasting insulin, C-peptide, HOMA-IR; p<0.001 all). Moreover, afamin negatively correlated with whole-body insulin sensitivity (M-value/Insulin, p<0.001). Hepatic lipids and fasting insulinemia were the most important predictors of serum afamin, explaining >63% of its variability. Exercise-related changes in afamin were paralleled by reciprocal changes in insulinemia, insulin resistance and visceral adiposity. No significant change in hepatic lipid content was observed. + + Conclusions: Subjects with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes had the highest serum afamin levels. Afamin was more tightly related to hepatic lipid accumulation, liver damage and insulin resistance than to obesity.

However, not all obese individuals develop diabetes. In the era of precision medicine, metabolomics may reveal the fundamental metabolic status of an individual. Our aim was to assess the association of metabolites with incident type 2 diabetes in obese individuals using Korean Genome and Epidemiology Cohort Study. + + METHODS: Using 12 years of metabolomic data from 2,580 individuals, we performed a metabolomic study to define metabolically healthy obesity in an obese population (n = 704) with incident type 2 diabetes. Cox proportional hazards regression model and survival analysis were performed adjusted for the traditional risk factors of type 2 diabetes. + + RESULTS: Our study revealed that spermine, acyl-alkyl phosphatidylcholines (C34:3, C36:3, C42:1), hydroxy sphingomyelin (C22:2, C14:1), and sphingomyelin (C16:0) were associated with incident type 2 diabetes in obese individuals after the adjustment for risk factors and correction of multiple comparisons by Bonferroni method.

However, the majority of human evolutionary history occurred in environments with higher pathogenic diversity and low cardiovascular risk. We hypothesize that in high-pathogen and energy-limited contexts, the APOE4 allele confers benefits by reducing innate inflammation when uninfected, while maintaining higher lipid levels that buffer costs of immune activation during infection. Among Tsimane forager-farmers of Bolivia (N = 1266, 50% female), APOE4 is associated with 30% lower C-reactive protein, and higher total cholesterol and oxidized LDL. Blood lipids were either not associated, or negatively associated with inflammatory biomarkers, except for associations of oxidized LDL and inflammation which were limited to obese adults. Further, APOE4 carriers maintain higher levels of total and LDL cholesterol at low body mass indices (BMIs). These results suggest that the relationship between APOE4 and lipids may be beneficial for pathogen-driven immune responses and unlikely to increase cardiovascular risk in an active subsistence population. Copyright © 2021, Garcia et al. +Other Abstract + plain-language-summary + Genes contain the instructions needed for a cell to make molecules called proteins, which perform various roles in the body. Different variants of a gene can affect how the protein works, and in some cases, can increase a person's risk to develop certain diseases. For example, people who carry a version of the apolipoprotein E gene called APOE4 have a greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or heart disease. Individuals with two copies of this genetic variant have a 45% higher risk of heart disease and 12 times higher risk of Alzheimer's disease. Studies in industrialized countries suggest this increased risk may be the result of higher cholesterol and inflammation in people with APOE4. But if APOE4 is harmful, why does it continue to be so common worldwide? One potential explanation is that APOE4, which has been around since before modern humans, may be beneficial in some contexts. Cholesterol is essential for many vital tasks in the body. In physically demanding environments where parasitic infections are common - conditions similar to those experienced by early humans - APOE4 might be beneficial. Under those circumstances, having more cholesterol might help fuel metabolic activities, fight infections, or reduce inflammation caused by infections. Garcia et al. investigated the link between the APOE4 genetic variant, cholesterol and inflammation in 1,266 Indigenous Tsimane people from 80 villages in Bolivia. Tsimane people live an active lifestyle foraging and farming for food. Parasite infections are a common problem in their communities, but obesity rates are very low. Garcia et al. found that Tsimane people with at least one copy of the APOE4 have lower levels of inflammation and higher levels of cholesterol than those who have two copies of the APOE3 version of the gene. Very lean people with APOE4 had especially high levels of the so called "bad" low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol compared to people with APOE3 only. However, in this situation, storing a little extra cholesterol may not be so bad. The findings contradict other studies that have linked obesity to higher LDL levels and APOE4 to higher levels of inflammation. For the majority of human history, humans lived in more physically strenuous and calorically restrictive environments, with less access to clean water. Garcia et al. suggest that the harmful effects of APOE4 seen in studies in more industrialized societies - where people tend to be more sedentary and have less exposure to pathogens - may reflect a mismatch between a person's environment and their genes. More studies that capture the diversity of environmental conditions under which people live will help clarify the role of APOE4 health and disease. + Language: English +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Apolipoprotein E4). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The correlates and mediators of heart failure risk in individuals with diabetes need more elucidation in large population-based cohorts with long follow-up times and a wide panel of biologically relevant biomarkers. + + METHODS: In a population-based sample of 3834 diabetic and 90,177 non-diabetic individuals, proportional hazards models and mediation analysis were used to assess the relation of conventional heart failure risk factors and biomarkers with incident heart failure. + + RESULTS: Over a median follow-up of 13.8 years, a total of 652 (17.0%) and 5524 (6.1%) cases of incident heart failure were observed in participants with and without diabetes, respectively. 51.4% were women and the mean age at baseline was 48.7 (standard deviation [SD] 12.5) years. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for heart failure among diabetic individuals was 2.70 (95% confidence interval, 2.49-2.93) compared to non-diabetic participants. In the multivariable-adjusted Cox models, conventional cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as smoking (diabetes: HR 2.07 [1.59-2.69]; non-diabetes: HR 1.85 [1.68-2.02]), BMI (diabetes: HR 1.30 [1.18-1.42]; non-diabetes: HR 1.40 [1.35-1.47]), baseline myocardial infarction (diabetes: HR 2.06 [1.55-2.75]; non-diabetes: HR 2.86 [2.50-3.28]), and baseline atrial fibrillation (diabetes: HR 1.51 [0.82-2.80]; non-diabetes: HR 2.97 [2.21-4.00]) had the strongest associations with incident heart failure. In addition, biomarkers for cardiac strain (represented by nT-proBNP, diabetes: HR 1.26 [1.19-1.34]; non-diabetes: HR 1.43 [1.39-1.47]), myocardial injury (hs-TnI, diabetes: HR 1.10 [1.04-1.16]; non-diabetes: HR 1.13 [1.10-1.16]), and inflammation (hs-CRP, diabetes: HR 1.13 [1.03-1.24]; non-diabetes: HR 1.29 [1.25-1.34]) were also associated with incident heart failure. In general, all these associations were equally strong in non-diabetic and diabetic individuals. However, the strongest mediators of heart failure in diabetes were the direct effect of diabetes status itself (relative effect share 43.1% [33.9-52.3] and indirect effects (effect share 56.9% [47.7-66.1]) mediated by obesity (BMI, 13.2% [10.3-16.2]), cardiac strain/volume overload (nT-proBNP, 8.4% [-0.7-17.4]), and hyperglycemia (glucose, 12.0% [4.2-19.9]). + + CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that the main mediators of heart failure in diabetes are obesity, hyperglycemia, and cardiac strain/volume overload. Conventional cardiovascular risk factors are strongly related to incident heart failure, but these associations are not stronger in diabetic than in non-diabetic individuals. Active measurement of relevant biomarkers could potentially be used to improve prevention and prediction of heart failure in high-risk diabetic patients. Copyright © 2021.

Exercise, dietary adjustments, or time-restricted feeding are the only successful long-term treatments to date. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) plays a key role in dietary regulation, but FGF21 resistance is prevalent in obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate in obese mice whether weight reduction leads to improved behaviour and whether these behavioural changes are associated with decreased plasma FGF21 levels. After establishing a model for diet-induced obesity, mice were subjected to three different interventions for weight reduction, namely dietary change, treadmill exercise, or time-restricted feeding. In this study, we demonstrated that only the combination of dietary change and treadmill exercise affected all parameters leading to a reduction in weight, fat, and FGF21, as well as less anxious behaviour, higher overall activity, and improved olfactory detection abilities. To investigate the interrelationship between FGF21 and behavioural parameters, feature selection algorithms were applied designating FGF21 and body weight as one of five highly weighted features. In conclusion, we concluded from the complementary methods that FGF21 can be considered as a potential biomarker for improved behaviour in obese mice after weight reduction. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (fibroblast growth factor 21). 62031-54-3 (Fibroblast Growth Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fnu13092916 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Power+Guerra&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Fibroblast+Growth+Factor+21+as+a+Potential+Biomarker+for+Improved+Locomotion+and+Olfaction+Detection+Ability+after+Weight+Reduction+in+Obese+Mice.&volume=13&issue=9&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13092916&pmid=34578793&sid=OVID:medline + +<737> +Unique Identifier + 34576066 +Title + Papain Ameliorates Lipid Accumulation and Inflammation in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity Mice and 3T3-L1 Adipocytes via AMPK Activation. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 22(18), 2021 Sep 14. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kang YM; Kang HA; Cominguez DC; Kim SH; An HJ +Author NameID + An, Hyo-Jin; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2937-874X +Authors Full Name + Kang, Yun-Mi; Kang, Hyun-Ae; Cominguez, Divina C; Kim, Su-Hyun; An, Hyo-Jin. +Institution + Kang, Yun-Mi.

Although it exhibits a wide range of activities, there are no reports on the anti-obesity effects of papain. This study examined the anti-obesity effect and obesity-involved anti-inflammatory mechanism of papain in in vivo and in vitro models using high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice and 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Oral administration of papain reduced HFD-induced weight of the body, liver, and adipose tissues of mice. Papain also reduced hepatic lipid accumulation and adipocyte size. Moreover, serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were markedly reduced in papain-treated mice. In addition, papain inhibited the differentiation of preadipocytes and oil accumulation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and rat primary preadipocytes. Mechanistically, papain significantly downregulated the protein levels of key adipogenesis regulators and reversed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and adipokines in HFD-induced obese mice and 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Papain also markedly enhanced activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase pathway in both models. Collectively, these results suggest that papain exerts anti-obesity effects in HFD-induced mice and 3T3-L1 preadipocytes by regulating levels of adipogenic factors involved in lipid metabolism and inflammation; thus, it could be useful in the prevention and treatment of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Forkhead Box Protein O1). 0 (Foxo1 protein, mouse). 0 (Lipids).

This study revealed a novel role for pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) in diet-induced hypertrophic obesity. Mice with global or adipose tissue-specific PDK2 deficiency were protected against diet-induced obesity. The weight of adipose tissues and the size of adipocytes were reduced. Adipocyte-specific PDK2 deficiency slightly increased insulin sensitivity in HFD-fed mice. In studies with 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PDK2 and PDK1 expression was strongly increased during adipogenesis. Evidence was found for epigenetic induction of both PDK1 and PDK2. Gain- and loss-of-function studies with 3T3-L1 cells revealed a critical role for PDK1/2 in adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation. PDK1/2 induction during differentiation was also accompanied by increased expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF1alpha) and enhanced lactate production, both of which were absent in the context of PDK1/2 deficiency. Exogenous lactate supplementation increased the stability of HIF1alpha and promoted adipogenesis. PDK1/2 overexpression-mediated adipogenesis was abolished by HIF1alpha inhibition, suggesting a role for the PDK-lactate-HIF1alpha axis during adipogenesis. In human adipose tissue, the expression of PDK1/2 was positively correlated with that of the adipogenic marker PPARgamma and inversely correlated with obesity. Similarly, PDK1/2 expression in mouse adipose tissue was decreased by chronic high-fat diet feeding. We conclude that PDK1 and 2 are novel regulators of adipogenesis that play critical roles in obesity. Copyright © 2021.

In a recent systematic review, it was reported that CVD patients had an increased cholesterol absorption and a decreased synthesis as compared with control participants. As increased physical activity levels reduce CVD risk, we hypothesized that exercise training will reduce cholesterol absorption and increase endogenous cholesterol synthesis in older overweight and obese men. + + METHODS: A randomized, controlled, crossover trial was performed. Seventeen apparently healthy older overweight and obese men were randomized to start with an aerobic exercise or no-exercise control period for 8 weeks, separated by 12 weeks washout. Fasting serum total cholesterol (TC) and non-cholesterol sterol concentrations were measured at baseline, and after 4 and 8 weeks. + + RESULTS: The aerobic exercise program did not affect serum TC concentrations. In addition, exercise did not affect TC-standardized serum concentrations of sitosterol and cholestanol that are markers for cholesterol absorption. However, a trend for reduced TC-standardized campesterol concentrations, which is another validated marker for cholesterol absorption, was observed as compared with control. Lathosterol concentrations, reflecting cholesterol synthesis, did not differ between both periods. + + CONCLUSIONS: Aerobic exercise training for 8 weeks did not lower serum TC concentrations in older overweight and obese men, but a trend towards a decrease in the cholesterol absorption marker campesterol was found. The cholesterol synthesis marker lathosterol did not change. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: posted on www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03272061 on 7 September 2017. Copyright © 2021.

We aimed to determine whether or not FLI was associated with incident diabetes in relation to obesity and prediabetic levels in the general Japanese population. + + METHODS: This was a retrospective study using the Japanese health check-up database of one health insurance from FY2015 to FY2018. This study included 28,991 individuals with prediabetes. First, we stratified all participants into two groups: "high-risk," comprising patients with HbA1c >6.0%, and "standard," comprising the rest. Subsequently, we divided them into four groups according to FLI (<30 or not) and obesity (BMI <25 kg/m2 or not). Subsequently, the incidence rate of diabetes was compared among the groups after 3 years of follow-up using multiple logistic regression models after adjusting for potential confounders. + + RESULTS: After 3 years of follow-up, 1,547 new cases of diabetes were found, and the cumulative incidence was 2.96% for the standard group and 26.1% for the high-risk group. In non-obese individuals, odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for FLI >=30 versus FLI <30 were: 1.44 (1.09-1.92) for the standard group and 1.42 (0.99-2.03) for the high-risk group. In the high-risk group, obesity (BMI >=25 kg/m2) but FLI <30 was not a risk factor for developing diabetes. + + CONCLUSION: Although high FLI is generally considered to be a risk factor for developing diabetes, obesity might have been a confounding factor. However, the present study showed that high FLI is a risk factor for the development of diabetes, even in non-obese individuals. Our results include suggestion to develop a screening tool to effectively identify people at high risk of developing diabetes from the population (especially non-obese prediabetes) who are apparently at low health risk and are unlikely to be targeted for health guidance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.1371%2fjournal.pone.0257352 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Kitazawa&issn=1932-6203&title=PLoS+ONE+%5BElectronic+Resource%5D&atitle=Fatty+liver+index+as+a+predictive+marker+for+the+development+of+diabetes%3A+A+retrospective+cohort+study+using+Japanese+health+check-up+data.&volume=16&issue=9&spage=e0257352&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0257352&pmid=34543321&sid=OVID:medline + +<741> +Unique Identifier + 34539631 +Title + Cytokine Profiles Associated With Worse Prognosis in a Hospitalized Peruvian COVID-19 Cohort. +Source + Frontiers in Immunology. 12:700921, 2021. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Pons MJ; Ymana B; Mayanga-Herrera A; Saenz Y; Alvarez-Erviti L; Tapia-Rojas S; Gamarra R; Blanco AB; Moncunill G; Ugarte-Gil MF +Authors Full Name + Pons, Maria J; Ymana, Barbara; Mayanga-Herrera, Ana; Saenz, Yolanda; Alvarez-Erviti, Lydia; Tapia-Rojas, Salyoc; Gamarra, Roxana; Blanco, Amanda B; Moncunill, Gemma; Ugarte-Gil, Manuel F. +Institution + Pons, Maria J.

We analyzed clinical parameters and assessed the expression of these biomarkers in patients with different disease severity in a hospitalized Peruvian cohort to determine those associated with worse prognosis. We measured anti-spike IgG antibodies by ELISA and 30 cytokines by quantitative suspension array technology in 123 sera samples. We analyzed differences between patients with moderate, severe and fatal COVID-19 by logistic regression at baseline and in longitudinal samples. Significant differences were found among the clinical parameters: hemoglobin, neutrophils, lymphocytes and C-reactive protein (CRP), creatinine and D-dimer levels. Higher anti-spike IgG antibody concentrations were associated to fatal patient outcomes. At hospitalization, IL-10, IL-6, MIP-1alpha, GM-CSF, MCP-1, IL-15, IL-5, IL1RA, TNFalpha and IL-8 levels were already increased in fatal patients' group. Meanwhile, multivariable analysis revealed that increased GM-CSF, MCP-1, IL-15, and IL-8 values were associated with fatal outcomes. Moreover, longitudinal analysis identified IL-6 and MCP-1 as the main risk factors related to mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. In this Peruvian cohort we identified and validated biomarkers related to COVID-19 outcomes. Further studies are needed to identify novel criteria for stratification of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients at hospital entry. + + Background: In the most severe forms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, large numbers of innate and adaptive immune cells become activated and begin to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, establishing an exacerbated feedback loop of inflammation. + + Methods: A total of 55 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 admitted to the Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen in Lima, Peru were enrolled during August-October 2020. Of these, 21 had moderate disease, 24 severe diseases and 10 died. We measured 30 cytokines and chemokines by quantitative suspension array technology and anti-spike IgG antibodies using a commercial ELISA. We evaluated these parameters in peripheral blood every 2-5 days until patient discharge or death. Patient information and clinical parameters related were obtained from the respective clinical histories. + + Results: The frequency of obesity differed among the 3 groups, being most frequent in patients who died. There were also significant differences in clinical parameters: hemoglobin, segmented neutrophils, lymphocytes,C-reactive protein, creatinine and D-dimer levels. Greater anti-spike IgG antibody concentrations were associated to fatal outcomes. In univariate analyses, higher baseline concentrations of IL-6, MIP-1alpha, GM-CSF, MCP-1, IL-15, IL-5, IL1RA, TNFalpha, IL-8 and IL-12p70 correlated with severity, while multivariable analysis showed that increased concentrations in 4 biomarkers (GM-CSF, MCP-1, IL-15, IL-8) were associated with fatal outcomes. Longitudinal analysis showed IL-6 (hazard ratio [HR] 6.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.6-28.7) and MCP-1 (HR 4.61, 95%CI 1.1-19.1) to be related to mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. + + Conclusions: Cytokine, chemokine and growth factor profiles were identified and validated related to severity and outcomes of COVID-19. Our findings may be useful to identify novel criteria for COVID-19 patient stratification at hospital entry.

Decreased renal function was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Weight change was calculated between baseline and each follow-up survey. Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the longitudinal association of baseline obesity and weight changes with the risk of decreased renal function. + + RESULTS: This study revealed that baseline obesity was associated with the risk of decreased renal function after adjusting for clinical variables in type 2 diabetic patients (odds ratio [OR] 1.40; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.08-2.04; p = 0.025). Follow-up (mean = 12 years) revealed that weight gain > 10% was associated with the risk of decreased renal function after adjusting for clinical variables in type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function at baseline (OR 1.43; CI 1.11-2.00; p = 0.016). Weight loss was not associated with the risk of decreased renal function in type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function at baseline. + + CONCLUSIONS: Baseline obesity was associated with the increased risk of decreased renal function in Korean type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function. Weight gain > 10% independently predicted the risk of decreased renal function. Large prospective studies are needed to clarify causal associations between obesity, weight change, and decreased renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes. Copyright © 2021.

Obesity can contribute to the development of DD. This study explored the prevalence of overweight/obesity and their association with DD in adults with T1DM. + + METHODS: Cross-sectional study of consecutive adults with T1DM attending diabetes clinics in a secondary care hospital (January-November 2019). Estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) was used as a marker of IR, and an eGDR < 8 was used to identify individuals with DD. + + RESULTS: One hundred seven adults with T1DM were included; female/male: 51/56; age [median (inter-quartile range): 30.0 (23-51) years]; BMI 25.4 (22.8-30.0) kg/m2. Overweight/obesity prevalence was 57/107 (53.3 %) [overweight: 30/107 (28 %); obesity: 27/107 (25.2 %)]. Compared to those with normal BMI, individuals with T1DM and overweight/obesity had longer diabetes duration; higher total daily insulin dose; and higher DD prevalence: 48/57 (84.2 %) vs. 14/50 (28 %) (p < 0.01); with similar HbA1c. BMI correlated with total daily insulin dose (rho = 0.55; p < 0.01). Individuals with DD were older, had longer duration of diabetes, higher HbA1c, and more adverse lipid profile and microalbuminuria compared to those without DD. + + CONCLUSIONS: Overweight/obesity is very common in adults with T1DM, and is associated with double diabetes. BMI is positively associated with total insulin dose. Double diabetes is associated with adverse cardiovascular risk profile and is also common in lean individuals with T1DM. Further research is needed to examine the impact of overweight/obesity in people with T1DM and whether weight loss in this population can improve diabetes-related outcomes. Copyright © 2021.

In this pilot proof-of-concept study we analysed in humans if, as we previously suggested in rodents, PBMC could be a surrogate tissue to study overweight/obesity impact on lipid metabolism. Pre-selected key lipid metabolism genes based in our previous preclinical studies were analysed in PBMC of normoglycemic normal-weight (NW), and overweight-obese (OW-OB) subjects before and after a 6-month weight-loss plan. PBMC mRNA levels of CPT1A, FASN and SREBP-1c increased in the OW-OB group, according with what described in liver and adipose tissue of humans with obesity. This altered expression pattern was related to increased adiposity and early signs of metabolic impairment. Greater weight loss and/or metabolic improvement as result of the intervention was related to lower CPT1A, FASN and SREBP-1c gene expression in an adjusted linear mixed-effects regression analysis, although no gene expression recovery was observed when considering mean comparisons. Thus, human PBMC reflect lipid metabolism expression profile of energy homeostatic tissues, and early obesity-related alterations in metabolic at-risk subjects. Further studies are needed to understand PBMC usefulness for analysis of metabolic recovery in weigh management programs. Copyright © 2021.

Although it has been described that microbial metabolism contributes to the circulating pool of these amino acids, studies are still scarce, particularly in pediatric populations. Thus, we aimed to explore whether in early adolescents, gut microbiome was associated to circulating BCAA and in this way to insulin resistance. + + METHODS: Shotgun sequencing was performed in DNA from fecal samples of 23 early adolescents (10-12 years old) and amino acid targeted metabolomics analysis was performed by LC-MS/MS in serum samples. By using the HUMAnN2 algorithm we explored microbiome functional profiles to identify whether bacterial metabolism contributed to serum BCAA levels and insulin resistance markers. + + RESULTS: We identified that abundance of genes encoding bacterial BCAA inward transporters were negatively correlated with circulating BCAA and HOMA-IR (P < 0.01). Interestingly, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii contributed to approximately ~ 70% of bacterial BCAA transporters gene count. Moreover, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii abundance was also negatively correlated with circulating BCAA (P = 0.001) and with HOMA-IR (P = 0.018), after adjusting for age, sex and body adiposity. Finally, the association between Faecalibacterium genus and BCAA levels was replicated over an extended data set (N = 124). + + CONCLUSIONS: We provide evidence that gut bacterial BCAA transport genes, mainly encoded by Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, are associated with lower circulating BCAA and lower insulin resistance. Based on the later, we propose that the relationship between Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and insulin resistance, could be through modulation of BCAA. Copyright © 2021.

The review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement standards. + + EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: The search of the literature retrieved 877 results. After assessment of full texts, 69 papers were included in the qualitative analysis and 23 of them in the quantitative evaluation. The analyzed studies included a total of 106,838 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 from January to December 2020. The pooled reported prevalence rate of VT was in median 16.7% (IQR 5.8-30%), being higher in ICU patients (60.8-85.4%). VT events were reported in about 75% of cases in the popliteal and calf veins. Signs and symptoms were present in 6.1% of cases. At quantitative evaluation, older age, D-dimer and obesity increased the odds to experience a VT (OR=3.54, 95% CI 0.65-6.43, P=0.01; OR=956.86, 95% CI 225.67-1668.05, P=0.01; OR=1.42, 95% CI 1.01-1.99, P=0.03 respectively). Female sex seemed to be protective against the odds of VT (OR=0.77, 95% CI 0.63-0.93, P=0.007). + + CONCLUSIONS: Among patients hospitalized for COVID-19, VT is a relatively common finding, with higher prevalence rates in ICU patients. VT occurs mostly in the distal regions of the lower limb and is asymptomatic in most cases. Older age, obesity and higher D-dimer values on admission increased the odds of VT, while female sex was protective against the odds of VT. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anticoagulants). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fibrin Fibrinogen Degradation Products). 0 (fibrin fragment D). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of prepregnancy BMI on micronutrient levels in pregnant women. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for articles that contained information on micronutrient levels and prepregnancy BMI. A random-effects model was used to determine the association between prepregnancy BMI and maternal micronutrient status. Sixty-one eligible articles were eventually included, with 83,554 participants. Vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D, iron and ferritin were the main micronutrients evaluated in our meta-analysis. Prepregnancy obesity and overweight may lead to an increased risk of micronutrient deficiency, including vitamin B12, folate and vitamin D deficiency, while prepregnancy obesity or overweight may have no significant association with ferritin deficiency. Additionally, the results of the dose-response analyses demonstrated a possible significant inverse correlation between prepregnancy BMI and levels of micronutrient, except for iron and ferritin. Compared with women with normal weight, women who were overweight or obese prepregnancy have lower micronutrient concentrations and are more likely to exhibit micronutrient deficiency during pregnancy, which is harmful to both mothers and neonates.

We aimed to investigate the relationship among the SUA level, BSI, and BRI on the incidence of MetS. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: We retrospectively included 6221 healthy individuals from annual health exams at our hospital between 2016/1/1 and 2016/12/31. We defined hyperuricemia as SUA levels greater than 7 mg/dl in men and 6 mg/dl in women and MetS according to the contemporary definition. The study cohort included 6221 healthy individuals with an overall incidence rate of MetS of 9.8%. Compared with the normouricemic group, the hyperuricemic group had a greater incidence of MetS (17.2% vs. 9.6%, P < 0.001). After full adjustment for confounders, the SUA level was significantly associated with incident MetS in addition to body mass index (BMI) (adjusted OR [aOR]: 1.161, 95% CI: 1.071-1.259, P < 0.001), BRI (aOR: 1.196, 95% CI: 1.104-1.296, P < 0.001), and BSI (aOR: 1.297, 95% CI: 1.200-1.403, P < 0.001). Regarding the anthropometric indices, BMI and BRI were independent predictors of incident MetS, but the BSI lost its significant association in multivariate logistic regression analyses. In sensitivity analyses, various thresholds of elevated SUA levels remained associated with incident MetS. + + CONCLUSION: We showed a dose-response effect of SUA on incident MetS independent of BMI, BRI and BSI in healthy individuals. Future studies can use SUA levels to stratify cardiometabolic risk in healthy individuals. + + CLINICAL TRIALS: ClinicalTrials.gov with the identification number NCT03473951.

Alternate Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) scores were used to assess diet quality. Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) evaluated the associations between the AHEI and longitudinal changes in insulin sensitivity (HOMA2-%S and ISI) and beta-cell function (IGI/HOMA-IR and ISSI-2). The proportion of the mediating effect of waist circumference changes was estimated using the difference method. In the primary longitudinal analysis, AHEI was positively associated with insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function over time (% difference per standard deviation increase of AHEI for HOMA2-%S (beta = 11.0, 95%CI 5.43-17.0), ISI (beta = 10.4, 95%CI 4.35-16.8), IGI/HOMA-IR (beta = 7.12, 95%CI 0.98-13.6) and ISSI-2 (beta = 4.38, 95%CI 1.05-7.80), all p < 0.05). There was no significant association between AHEI and dysglycemia incidence (OR = 0.95, 95%CI 0.77-1.17). Adjustments for longitudinal changes in waist circumference substantially attenuated all associations of AHEI with insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function. Mediation analysis indicated that waist circumference mediated 73%, 70%, 83% and 81% of the association between AHEI and HOMA2-%S, ISI, IGI/HOMA-IR, and ISSI-2, respectively (all p < 0.01). + + CONCLUSION: In a Canadian population at-risk for T2D, AHEI score was positively associated with changes in insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function. These associations were substantially mediated by waist circumference, suggesting that changes in adiposity may represent an important pathway linking diet quality with risk phenotypes for T2D.

Body fat percentage (BFP) was calculated by simple anthropometric parameters. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum uric acid (SUA) level 420 umol/L in men and 360 umol/L in women. The mean BFP was 24.5% in men and 37.1% in women. Multiple logistic analyses showed that the relationship between BFP with the risk of hyperuricemia in a dose-dependent manner among both men (odds ratio [OR] 1.07, 95% CI 1.06, 1.09) and women (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.06, 1.09) in the fully adjusted model. Subgroup analyses showed the positive association between BFP and the risk of hyperuricemia was consistent in all stratification subgroups (all P for interaction >0.05). + + CONCLUSION: For patients with hypertension, BFP was positively associated with an increased risk of hyperuricemia among both men and women.

Obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Nearly 60% of women of reproductive age are considered overweight or obese, cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality continue to be pervasive. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of an obesogenic diet on the cardiometabolic health of dams during pregnancy and postpartum. Female mice were fed either a high-fat, high-sucrose diet (HFHS) or a refined control diet (CON) for 8 weeks before initiation of pregnancy and throughout the study period. Mice in the HFHS showed two distinct phenotypes, obesity-prone (HFHS/OP) and obesity resistance (HFHS/OR). Pre-pregnancy obesity (HFHS/OP) induced glucose intolerance before pregnancy and during postpartum. Systolic function indicated by the percent fractional shortening (%FS) was significantly decreased in the HFHS/OP at late pregnancy (vs. HFHS/OR) and weaning (vs. CON), but no differences were found at 6 weeks of postpartum among groups. No induction of pathological cardiac hypertrophy markers was found during postpartum. Plasma adiponectin was decreased while total cholesterol was increased in the HFHS/OP. Our results suggested that obesity, not the diet alone, negatively affected cardiac adaptation during pregnancy and postpartum. Copyright © 2021.

We used a machine learning technique to examine the relative importance of more than 100 clinical variables as predictors for BMI. + + METHODS: BASUN is a prospective non-randomized cohort study of 971 individuals that received medical or surgical treatment (treatment choice was based on patient's preferences and clinical criteria, not randomization) for obesity in the Vastra Gotaland county in Sweden between 2015 and 2017 with planned follow-up for 10 years. This study includes demographic data, BMI, blood tests, and questionnaires before obesity treatment that cover three main areas: gastrointestinal symptoms and eating habits, physical activity and quality of life, and psychological health. We used random forest, with conditional variable importance, to study the relative importance of roughly 100 predictors of BMI, covering 15 domains. We quantified the predictive value of each individual predictor, as well as each domain. + + RESULTS: The participants received medical (n = 382) or surgical treatment for obesity (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, n = 388; sleeve gastrectomy, n = 201). There were minor differences between these groups before treatment with regard to anthropometrics, laboratory measures and results from questionnaires. The 10 individual variables with the strongest predictive value, in order of decreasing strength, were country of birth, marital status, sex, calcium levels, age, levels of TSH and HbA1c, AUDIT score, BE tendencies according to QEWPR, and TG levels. The strongest domains predicting BMI were: Socioeconomic status, Demographics, Biomarkers (notably TSH), Lifestyle/habits, Biomarkers for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and Potential anxiety and depression. + + CONCLUSIONS: Lifestyle, habits, age, sex and socioeconomic status are some of the strongest predictors for BMI levels. Potential anxiety and / or depression and other characteristics captured using questionnaires have strong predictive value. These results confirm previously suggested associations and advocate prospective studies to examine the value of better characterization of patients eligible for obesity treatment, and consequently to evaluate the treatment effects in groups of patients. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: March 03, 2015; NCT03152617 .

Endotoxins circulate in the blood at low concentrations in all healthy individuals. Elevated levels of circulatory endotoxins may cause inflammation with the development of chronic disease, either affecting metabolism, neurological disease, or resistance to viral and bacterial infections. The most important endotoxin is LPS, being a superantigen. In this narrative review, the effect of various food components to postprandially elevate circulating LPS and inflammatory markers is described. There is evidence that the intake of food enriched in fat, in particular saturated fat, may elevate LPS and pro-inflammatory markers. This occurs in both normal-weight and obese subjects. In obese subjects, inflammatory markers are already elevated before meal consumption. The importance of food choice for endotoxemia and inflammatory response is discussed. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Fats). 0 (Lipopolysaccharides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Several biomarkers reflecting biological processes that may play a role in the occurrence of cardiac dysfunction in obesity patients are available. Purpose: To compare cardiovascular biomarker profiles between obesity patients and nonobese controls, and between obesity patients with and without cardiac dysfunction, in order to better understand the underlying pathophysiology of cardiac dysfunction in obesity patients. Materials & methods: Blood samples were obtained from 100 obesity patients (BMI >=35 kg/m2) without known cardiovascular disease, and from 50 age- and gender-matched nonobese controls (BMI <=30 kg/m2). The third cardiovascular panel of the Olink Multiplex platform was used for the measurement of 92 biomarkers. Results: The majority (53%) of biomarkers were elevated in obesity patients compared with nonobese controls. Only 5% of the biomarkers were elevated in obesity patients with cardiac dysfunction compared with those without. Biomarkers discriminating cardiac dysfunction from no cardiac dysfunction in obesity patients differed from those discriminating obese from nonobese patients. An elastic net model for the prediction of cardiac dysfunction in obesity patients had a high area under the receiver operating curve of 0.87 (95% CI: 0.79-0.94; p < 0.001). The sensitivity of this model was 84% and the specificity was 79%. Conclusion: A multiplex immunoassay was used for the first time in obesity patients without known cardiovascular disease. These patients have cardiovascular biomarker profiles that are clearly different from nonobese controls. Comparison of obesity patients with and without cardiac dysfunction suggested an important role for inflammation, atherosclerosis and insulin resistance in the underlying pathophysiology of cardiac dysfunction in obesity patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

When our subjects were stratified by weight, we observed a weak association between US B and TS B in the thin/normal weight group (r=0.34, p=0.001) but not in the overweight (r=0.097, p=0.38) or obese groups (r=-0.19, p=0.206), and as the body mass index (BMI) z-score increased, the overestimation ratio of TS B increased. US B manifested a positive correlation with breast bud diameter (BD) (r=0.885, p<0.001), follicle-stimulating hormone (r=0.235, p=0.009), and luteinizing hormone (r=0.192, p=0.037), but this was not the case with TS B. + + CONCLUSIONS: As the BMI z-score increased, the correlation between the two methods declined, and the overestimation ratio of TS B increased. US B is an objective and quantitative method used to evaluate breast development, and whether BD might replace US B as a routine diagnostic method to evaluate breast development in clinical practice needs to be confirmed in larger-sample studies.

Obesity itself leads to chronic inflammation, which may initiate an injurious cascade to the lungs and simultaneously induce a protective feedback. In this study, we investigated the protective mechanism of obesity on VILI in a mouse model. + + Methods: The VILI model was set up via 6-h mechanical ventilation with a high tidal volume. Parameters including lung injury score, STAT3/NFkappaB pathway, and AFC were assessed. Mice with diet-induced obesity were obtained by allowing free access to a high-fat diet since the age of 3 weeks. After a 9-week diet intervention, these mice were sacrificed at the age of 12 weeks. The manipulation of SOCS3 protein was achieved by siRNA knockdown and pharmaceutical stimulation using hesperetin. WNK4 knockin and knockout obese mice were used to clarify the pathway of AFC modulation. + + Results: Obesity itself attenuated VILI. Knockdown of SOCS3 in obese mice offset the protection against VILI afforded by obesity. Hesperetin stimulated SOCS3 upregulation in nonobese mice and provided protection against VILI. In obese mice, the WNK4 axis was upregulated at the baseline, but was significantly attenuated after VILI compared with nonobese mice. At the baseline, the manipulation of SOCS3 by siRNA and hesperetin also led to the corresponding alteration of WNK4, albeit to a lesser extent. After VILI, WNK4 expression correlated with STAT3/NFkappaB activation, regardless of SOCS3 status. Obese mice carrying WNK4 knockout had VILI with a severity similar to that of wild-type obese mice. The severity of VILI in WNK4-knockin obese mice was counteracted by obesity, similar to that of wild-type nonobese mice only. + + Conclusions: Obesity protects lungs from VILI by upregulating SOCS3, thus suppressing the STAT3/NFkappaB inflammatory pathway and enhancing WNK4-related AFC. However, WNK4 activation is mainly from direct NFkappaB downstreaming, and less from SOCS3 upregulation. Moreover, JAK2-STAT3/NFkappaB signaling predominates the pathogenesis of VILI. Nevertheless, the interaction between SOCS3 and WNK4 in modulating VILI in obesity warrants further investigation.

We aimed to detect the possible association of osteoprotegerin (OPG) gene expression with visceral adiposity indices and cardiometabolic risk factors among obese women. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: The study enrolled 150 controls and 150 obese cases subdivided into two subgroups non-diabetic (n = 70) and 80 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Circulating OPG gene expression levels were figured out by real time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). Serum OPG levels were assessed by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Our results explored that OPG serum levels were lower in the obese women compared to control group (p < 0.001) and obese diabetics had higher serum levels of OPG in comparison to obese non-diabetic patients (p < 0.001). Expression levels of OPG were higher in obese women than controls (p < 0.001). Moreover, the blood expression levels of OPG gene were higher in diabetic obese patients than non-diabetics. We found positive correlations between parameters of metabolic syndrome and obesity indices. After adjustment of the traditional risk factors, stepwise linear regression analysis test revealed that OPG expression levels were independently correlated with glycated hemoglobin, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and waist-to-hip ratio. + + CONCLUSIONS: OPG mRNA levels were associated with surrogate markers of insulin resistance in Egyptian obese women.

However, there is an ongoing debate about what is the optimal range of body mass index (BMI) for the aged population. We aimed to evaluate the value of BMI for the prediction of incident diabetes mellitus (DM) in the Chinese elderly population. + + METHODS: A total number of 6,911 Chinese elderly people (4,110 men and 2,801 women, aged 71 +/- 6.0 years) were included in this cohort study. BMI was measured at baseline (Jan 1, 2014, to Dec 31, 2014). All the participants were further classified into six groups: <18.5 kg/m2, 18.5 to <22.5 kg/m2, 22.5 to <25.0 kg/m2, 25.0 to <27.5 kg/m2, 27.5 to <30.0 kg/m2, and >=30.0 kg/m2. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were annually measured during follow-up (Jan 1, 2015-May 31, 2019). DM was confirmed if either FBG >= 7.0 mmol/L or HbA1c >= 6.5%. We used the Cox proportional hazard regression model to evaluate the association between BMI and the prediction of incident DM. + + RESULTS: Comparing individuals with a BMI range of 18.5 to <22.5 kg/m2 (reference), the hazard ratio for incident DM was 2.13 (95% CI: 1.54~2.95), 2.14 (95% CI: 1.53~3.00), 3.17 (95% CI: 2.19~4.59), 3.15 (95% CI: 1.94~5.09), and 3.14 (95% CI: 1.94~5.09) for the group with a BMI range of 22.5 to <25.0 kg/m2, 25.0 to <27.5 kg/m2, 27.5 to <30.0 kg/m2, and >=30.0 kg/m2 after adjusting for baseline age, sex, blood pressure, lipid profiles, and eGFR (P trend < 0.001), after adjusting for the abovementioned confounders. The association tended to be closer in men and young participants, compared with their counterparts. + + CONCLUSIONS: High BMI was associated with a high risk of developing DM in the Chinese aged population. Thus, it is optimal for the aged population to maintain their body weight within a reasonable range to prevent chronic diseases. Copyright © 2021 M. L.

From September 2013 to March 2014, a multi-stage sampling was conducted, and a total of 10,221 people aged 35-79 years living in Chengdu and Chongqing were included. More than 30 investigators were trained in data collection, including questionnaire, anthropometric measurements and blood biomarkers testing. The prevalence of high triglycerides (>= 2.3 mmol/L), high total cholesterol (>= 6.2 mmol/L), high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (>= 4.1 mmol/L), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (< 1.0 mmol/L), and dyslipidemia were 15.7% (95% confidence interval, 15.0-16.4%), 5.4% (4.9-5.8%), 2.5% (2.2-2.8%), 5.7% (5.3-6.2%), and 27.4% (26.5-28.2%), respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was positively correlated with higher education level, monthly income over 2000 CNY, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, overweight and obesity, and central obesity, and negatively correlated with daily physical exercise. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in Southwestern China is lower than the national average level, with high triglycerides being the most common form of dyslipidemia. Copyright © 2021.

All the participants underwent physical examination, biochemical test, and thyroid gland ultrasonography. The thyroid volume of normal, overweight and obese group was compared. We also analyzed the association between the number of MetS components and thyroid volume. Linear and multiple linear regression were applied to explore the association between metabolic parameters and thyroid volume. + + RESULTS: The thyroid volume of the males in overweight (t = 3.784, P < 0.001) and obese group (t = 5.068, P < 0.001) was significantly larger than that in normal group; the thyroid volume of the females in overweight group (t = 4.627,P < 0.001) was significantly larger than that of normal group. As the number of MetS components increased, the thyroid volume also increased significantly (F = 10.64, P < 0.01). Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference, systolic blood pressure, fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), uric acid and triglyceride were all positively associated with thyroid volume in the adolescents (P all < 0.001). Meanwhile, there was a negative association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and thyroid volume (P < 0.001). According to multiple linear regression, waist circumference (beta = 0.029, 95 %CI: 0.015 ~ 0.042; P < 0.01) and waist height ratio (beta = 3.317, 95 %CI: 1.661 ~ 4.973; P < 0.01) were predict factors of thyroid volume. No statistical difference was found in the detection rates of metabolic syndrome under the three diagnostic criteria. + + CONCLUSIONS: Overweight, obesity and metabolic syndrome was associated with adolescent thyroid volume. Central obesity may be an independent risk factor for thyroid enlargement in adolescents. Copyright © 2021.

All of the participants underwent thyroid ultrasonography, anthropometric measurements, and serum examinations. Differences in the TNs prevalence were compared with the chi-square test or Wilcoxon rang-sum test. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the metabolic factors associated with TNs and multiple thyroid nodules (MTNs). + + RESULTS: Of the included 121,702 participants, 41,547 had TNs, and 20,899 had MTNs, with the prevalence of 34.1 and 17.0 %, respectively. Women had a significantly higher prevalence of TNs than men (40.6 % vs. 29.8 %; chi2 = 1517.33, P < 0.001), and TNs prevalence was gradually increased with age (P for trend < 0.001). Female gender, advanced age, and metabolic factors including central obesity, hypertension, diabetes and fatty liver were positively associated with TNs; BMI, hyperlipoidemia and hyperuricemia were not independent risk factors of TNs. While female gender, advanced age, central obesity, hypertension and diabetes were independent risk factors of MTNs. + + CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of thyroid nodules was relatively high. The associated factors identified in this study could help the clinicians to detect the high-risk patients and make targeted screening strategies for the preventing of the occurrence of TNs.

Herein, we investigated the relationship between vitamin D status and overweight/obesity status, insulin resistance (IR), systemic inflammation as well as oxidative stress (OS). Anthropometric and laboratory assessments of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and glycemic, pro-inflammatory and OS biomarkers were performed in a sample of 47 patients with T2DM who were divided into categories based on overweight and degree of obesity. The main findings were: the overweight/obesity status correlated negatively with the degree of serum 25(OH)D deficiency (rho = -0.27) with a trend towards statistical significance (p = 0.069); the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was significantly different (p = 0.024) in patients with 25(OH)D deficiency, as was total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) in patients with severe serum 25(OH)D deficiency as compared to those with 25(OH)D over 20 ng/mL (TOS: p = 0.007, OSI: p = 0.008); and 25(OH)D had a negative indirect effect on TOS by body mass index (BMI), but BMI was not a significant mediator of the studied relationship. In a setting of overweight and increasing degree of obesity, patients with T2DM did not display decreasing values of 25(OH)D. Subjects with the lowest values of 25(OH)D presented the highest values of BMI. Patients with 25(OH)D deficiency were more insulin resistant and showed increased OS but no elevated systemic inflammation. The negative effect of 25(OH)D on TOS did not seem to involve BMI as a mediator. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D).

An upcoming ingredient on the nutraceutical market are anthocyanins, a flavonoid subgroup, abundant mostly in berries and fruits. Epidemiological studies have suggested an association between anthocyanin intake and improved cardiovascular risk, type 2 diabetes and myocardial infarct. Clinical studies using anthocyanins have shown a significant decrease in inflammation markers and oxidative stress, a beneficial effect on vascular function and hyperlipidemia by decreasing low-density lipoprotein and increasing high-density lipoprotein. They have also shown a potential effect on glucose homeostasis and cognitive decline. This review summarizes the effects of anthocyanins in in-vitro, animal and human studies to give an overview of their application in medical prevention or as a dietary supplement. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anthocyanins). 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Recent studies have identified that plasma imidazole propionate (ImP), a microbial-produced metabolite, is increased in patients with prediabetes and T2D. More recently, ImP was found to be significantly increased in patients with overt CVD. Here, we aimed to investigate the association between ImP and CVD risk factors: blood pressure, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and insulin-resistance in overweight and obese subjects without T2D or use of any metabolic diseases-related medication. + + METHODS: Plasma metabolites, including ImP, were determined in 107 male or post-menopausal women with overweight/obesity, but without T2D. Insulin-sensitivity was assessed with the gold standard method: the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp using the isotope [6,6-2H2] glucose and expressed as glucose rate of disposal (Rd) for peripheral insulin sensitivity and suppression of endogenous glucose production (EGP) for hepatic insulin sensitivity. + + RESULTS: Partial correlation analysis controlled for BMI and age showed a significant correlation between ImP and diastolic blood pressure (rs = 0.285, p = 0.004) and a borderline significance with systolic blood pressure (rs = 0.187, p = 0.060); however, systolic and diastolic blood pressure did not correlate with ImP precursor histidine (rs = 0.063, p = 0.526 and r = -0.038, p = 0.712, respectively). We did not find a correlation between ImP with LDL-cholesterol or HDL-cholesterol (rs = -0.181, p = 0.064 and rs = 0.060, p = 0.546, respectively). Furthermore, there was no association between plasma ImP concentrations and Rd and EGP suppression. + + CONCLUSION: In this cohort with overweight/obese subjects without T2D, plasma ImP concentrations were positively correlated with diastolic blood pressure but not with insulin-sensitivity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Imidazoles). 0 (Lipids). 1074-59-5 (5-imidazolepropionic acid). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fnu13082706 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=van+Son&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Plasma+Imidazole+Propionate+Is+Positively+Correlated+with+Blood+Pressure+in+Overweight+and+Obese+Humans.&volume=13&issue=8&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13082706&pmid=34444866&sid=OVID:medline + +<766> +Unique Identifier + 34444779 +Title + Effects of Cranberry Juice Supplementation on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Adults with Elevated Blood Pressure: A Randomized Controlled Trial. +Source + Nutrients. 13(8), 2021 Jul 29. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Richter CK; Skulas-Ray AC; Gaugler TL; Meily S; Petersen KS; Kris-Etherton PM +Author NameID + Richter, Chesney K; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5658-6173 + Gaugler, Trent L; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8006-9184 + Petersen, Kristina S; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3914-0353 +Authors Full Name + Richter, Chesney K; Skulas-Ray, Ann C; Gaugler, Trent L; Meily, Stacey; Petersen, Kristina S; Kris-Etherton, Penny M. +Institution + Richter, Chesney K.

A randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial was conducted in middle-aged adults with overweight/obesity (n = 40; mean BMI: 28.7 +/- 0.8 kg/m2; mean age: 47 +/- 2 years) and elevated brachial blood pressure (mean systolic/diastolic BP: 124 +/- 2/81 +/- 1 mm Hg). Study participants consumed 500 mL/d of cranberry juice (~16 fl oz; 27% cranberry juice) or a matched placebo juice in a randomized order (8-week supplementation periods; 8-week compliance break), with blood samples and vascular measurements obtained at study entry and following each supplementation period. There was no significant treatment effect of cranberry juice supplementation on the primary endpoint of central systolic blood pressure or central or brachial diastolic pressure. Cranberry juice significantly reduced 24-h diastolic ambulatory BP by ~2 mm Hg compared to the placebo (p = 0.05) during daytime hours. Cranberry juice supplementation did not alter LDL-C but significantly changed the composition of the lipoprotein profile compared to the placebo, increasing the concentration of large LDL-C particles (+29.5 vs. -6.7 nmol/L; p = 0.02) and LDL size (+0.073 vs. -0.068 nm; p = 0.001). There was no effect of treatment on ex vivo HDL efflux in the total population, but exploratory subgroup analyses identified an interaction between BMI and global HDL efflux (p = 0.02), with greater effect of cranberry juice in participants who were overweight. Exploratory analyses indicate that baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) values may moderate treatment effects. In this population of adults with elevated blood pressure, cranberry juice supplementation had no significant effect on central systolic blood pressure but did have modest effects on 24-h diastolic ambulatory BP and the lipoprotein profile. Future studies are needed to verify these findings and the results of our exploratory analyses related to baseline health moderators. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipoproteins). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The objective was to evaluate the effect of pomegranate juice on inflammation, blood pressure, and vascular and physiological markers associated with obesity induced by a high-fat diet in a murine model. The results show that pomegranate juice reduces the concentration of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (cLDL) 39% and increases the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (cHDL) by 27%, leading to a 12%-18% decrease in the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In addition to reducing blood pressure by 24%, it also had an antiatherogenic effect by decreasing sE-selectin levels by 42%. On the other hand, the juice significantly increased adiponectin levels in adipose tissue, decreased levels of inflammation markers (tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), interleukin-17A (IL-17A), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)), and inhibited the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). Pomegranate juice requires clinical studies to prove its immunoregulatory and therapeutic effects on cardiovascular and atherogenic risks. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Ccl2 protein, rat). 0 (Chemokine CCL2). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fnu13082577 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Michicotl-Meneses&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Inflammation+Markers+in+Adipose+Tissue+and+Cardiovascular+Risk+Reduction+by+Pomegranate+Juice+in+Obesity+Induced+by+a+Hypercaloric+Diet+in+Wistar+Rats.&volume=13&issue=8&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13082577&pmid=34444736&sid=OVID:medline + +<768> +Unique Identifier + 34444671 +Title + Effects of 60-Day Saccharomyces boulardii and Superoxide Dismutase Supplementation on Body Composition, Hunger Sensation, Pro/Antioxidant Ratio, Inflammation and Hormonal Lipo-Metabolic Biomarkers in Obese Adults: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial. +Source + Nutrients. 13(8), 2021 Jul 23. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Rondanelli M; Miraglia N; Putignano P; Castagliuolo I; Brun P; Dall'Acqua S; Peroni G; Faliva MA; Naso M; Nichetti M; Infantino V; Perna S +Author NameID + Rondanelli, Mariangela; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8336-4851 + Brun, Paola; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3279-9000 + Dall'Acqua, Stefano; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8264-6953 + Peroni, Gabriella; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1632-1787 + Infantino, Vittoria; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8172-5182 + Perna, Simone; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2720-1473 +Authors Full Name + Rondanelli, Mariangela; Miraglia, Niccolo; Putignano, Pietro; Castagliuolo, Ignazio; Brun, Paola; Dall'Acqua, Stefano; Peroni, Gabriella; Faliva, Milena Anna; Naso, Maurizio; Nichetti, Mara; Infantino, Vittoria; Perna, Simone. +Institution + Rondanelli, Mariangela.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a 60-day S. boulardii and SOD supplementation on circulating markers of inflammation, body composition, hunger sensation, pro/antioxidant ratio, hormonal, lipid profile, glucose, insulin and HOMA-IR, in obese adults (BMI 30-35 kg/m2). Twenty-five obese adults were randomly assigned to intervention (8/4 women/men, 57 +/- 8 years) or Placebo (9/4 women/men, 50 +/- 9 years). Intervention group showed a statistically significant (p < 0.05) decrease of body weight, BMI, fat mass, insulin, HOMA Index and uric acid. Patients in intervention and control groups showed a significant decrease (p < 0.05) of GLP-1. Intervention group showed an increase (p < 0.05) of Vitamin D as well. In conclusion, the 60-day S. boulardii-SOD supplementation in obese subjects determined a significant weight loss with consequent decrease on fat mass, with preservation of fat free mass. The decrease of HOMA index and uric acid, produced additional benefits in obesity management. The observed increase in vitamin D levels in treated group requires further investigation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Placebos). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D).

Essential amino acids (EAA) may support changes associated with HIIT, but evaluation of potential synergistic effects is lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare independent and combined effects of HIIT and EAA on total body composition and metabolism in men and women considered overweight/obese; an exploratory aim was to evaluate the modulatory effects of sex. Sixty-six healthy adults (50% female; Age: 36.7 +/- 6.0 years; BMI: 32.0 +/- 4.2 kg/m2) completed 8 weeks of: (1) HIIT, 2 days/weeks; (2) EAA supplementation, 3.6 g twice daily; (3) HIIT + EAA; or (4) control. Body composition, resting metabolic rate (RMR), substrate metabolism (respiratory exchange ratio; RER), and cardiorespiratory fitness were measured at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks; cardiometabolic blood markers were measured at baseline and 8 weeks. Differences between groups were assessed by linear mixed models covaried for baseline values, followed by 95% confidence intervals (CI) on adjusted mean change scores. There were no significant changes in body composition (p > 0.05) for any group. Changes in RER, but not RMR, occurred with HIIT (mean change; [95% CI]: - 0.04; [- 0.07, - 0.02]) and EAA (- 0.03; [- 0.06, - 0.01]) after 8 weeks. Cardiorespiratory fitness increased following 8 weeks of HIIT (+ 5.1 ml/kg/min [3.3,6.8]) and HIIT + EAA (+ 4.1 ml/kg/min [1.0,6.4]). Changes with HIIT + EAA were not significantly different from HIIT. There were no changes in cardiometabolic markers (p > 0.05) and no sex interaction (p > 0.05). HIIT is efficacious for promoting positive changes in cardiorespiratory fitness and resting substrate metabolism in adults considered overweight/obese. Addition of EAA did not significantly enhance HIIT-induced adaptations. ClinicalTrials.gov ID#NCT04080102. Copyright © 2021.

Determining obesity by combining body mass index (BMI) with the waist circumference (WC) may clarify the role of inflammatory and hormonally related markers in breast cancer. We examined the effect of combining adiposity indices (BMI/WC) with the gene expression of several biomarkers involved in breast cancer. + + Methods: Expression of cytochrome P450 family 19 subfamily A member 1 (CYP19A1), estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha), allograft inflammatory factor 1 (AIF1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and leptin (LEP) in 141 adipose breast tissues was quantified using qPCR method. BMI and WC were measured by a trained nurse and categorized using the median split, BMILOWCLO, BMILOWCHI, BMIHIWCLO, and BMIHIWCHI. + + Results: Gene expression of IL-6 (3-fold), TNF-alpha (2-fold), and LEP (2-fold) was higher in the breast adipose tissue of women with high WC regardless of BMI, that is, BMILOWCHI and BMIHIWCHI women (all P < 0.01). Compared to BMILOWCLO women, gene expression of CYP19A1, COX2, and AIF1 was increased by two-fold in breast adipose tissue of BMIHIWCHI women (P < 0.10). ER-alpha was not different across adiposity categories. + + Conclusions: The expression of some biomarkers, particularly those related to inflammation, is elevated in breast adipose tissue of women with a high WC independent of BMI. Obesity monitoring should also include women with normal or low BMI, but with central adiposity.

The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate SNP rs662799 in the APOA5 gene and its associations with metabolic effects after a hypocaloric diet with Mediterranean pattern. + + METHODS: A population of 363 Caucasian obese patients was enrolled. Anthropometric parameters and serum parameters (lipid profile, insulin, homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR), glucose, C reactive protein, adiponectin, resistin, and leptin levels) were measured, at basal time and after 3 months. All patients were genotyped in the rs662799 polymorphism. + + RESULTS: The APOA5 variant distribution was as follows: 89.3% (n = 324) (TT) were homozygous for the T allele, 10.5% (n = 38) (TC) were heterozygous, and 0.2% (n = 1) (CC) were homozygous for the C allele. Triglyceride levels were higher in patients with the C allele. After dietary intervention, BMI, weight, fat mass, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, adiponectin, leptin, and adiponectin/leptin ratio improved significantly in both genotype groups TT and TC+CC. After dietary intervention, insulin levels (delta: -3.6 +/- 0.8 UI/L vs. -1.5 +/- 0.6 UI/L; P = 0.03), HOMA-IR (delta: -1.5 +/- 0.4 units vs. -0.3 +/- 0.2 units; P = 0.02), and triglyceride levels (delta: -19.3 +/- 4.2 mg/dL vs. -3.2 +/- 3.1 mg/dL; P = 0.02) decreased in non-C allele carriers. + + CONCLUSIONS: C allele carriers of rs662799 of the APOA5 gene did not show an improvement in triglyceride, insulin, and HOMA-IR levels after a significant weight loss due to a hypocaloric diet with a Mediterranean pattern.

Obesity has been identified as a risk factor for the development of DN but it is still unclear which obesity index is the best predictor of incident DN. + + Methods: Data from the participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) study were used to examine the sex-specific association between waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and body mass index (BMI) with incident DN risk. + + Results: Among the 8,887 participants with T2DM (5,489 men and 3,398 women), 5,296 participants (3,345 men and 1,951 women) developed the DN composite outcome during a follow-up period of 24302 person-years. Among men, null associations were observed between all anthropometric measures with incident DN in the multivariate analysis although the 3rd quartile of WHtR showed marginally significant results (P = 0.052). However, among women, both central and general obesity measures were associated with increased risks of incident DN. Compared with participants in the WC <88 cm category, the fully adjusted HR and 95% CI for those in the >=88 cm of WC was 1.35 (95% CI 1.15-1.57). Compared with the lowest quartile, the fully adjusted HRs and 95% CIs for the 2nd to the 4th quartile of WHtR were 1.09 (95% CI 0.96-1.25), 1.12 (95% CI 0.98-1.28), and 1.14 (95% CI 1.00-1.30) respectively; also, compared with the normal BMI category, the fully adjusted HRs and 95% CIs for class I - class III obese were 1.36 (95% CI 1.10 - 1.67), 1.43 (95% CI 1.16 - 1.78) and 1.32 (95% CI 1.05 - 1.66) respectively. + + Conclusions: Among participants with T2DM, higher levels of both central and general obesity indexes were associated with DN risk among women but not in men. Women with T2DM should maintain a healthy weight targeted at reducing both central and general obesity to enhance nephroprotection. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov., no. NCT00000620.

This study aimed to investigate, in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), whether saxagliptin, a DPP4i, had beneficial cardiovascular effects at fasting and during the post-prandial state. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, single-center pilot exploratory study, we included obese individuals with IGT. Twenty-four individuals (BMI 36.8 +/- 4.8 kg/m2) were randomized to receive for 12 weeks either saxagliptin 5 mg a day or placebo. They were explored before and after a standardized breakfast for biological markers; microcirculatory blood flow at baseline and after transcutaneous administration of acetylcholine (Periflux System 5000 R PERIMED); post-occlusive digital reactive hyperhemia (Endopat2000 R); pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, central pulse pressure and subendocardial viability ratio (Sphygmocor R); cardiac hemodynamic parameters and cardiovascular autonomic nervous system activity (Task force monitor R). The results of all the investigations were similar after breakfast in the two groups at Visit 1 (acute post-prandial effects, after the first tablet) and Visit 2 (long-term post-prandial effects), and at fasting at Visit 1 and 2 (long-term effects, after 12 weeks of treatment). Only at Visit 2 the decrease in cardiac vagal activity occurring after breakfast was more sustained in the saxagliptin group than in the placebo group (interaction between treatment and time effect: p = 0.016). + + CONCLUSION: In obese patients with IGT, the effects of saxagliptin on the large set of cardiovascular parameters measured are neutral, except for a more marked post-prandial depression of vagal activity. + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT01521312.

Exploring the potential biomarkers and dynamic networks during NAFLD progression is urgently important. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in obesity, NAFL and NASH were screened from GSE126848 and GSE130970, respectively. Gene set enrichment analysis of DEGs was conducted to reveal the Gene Ontology (GO) biological process in each period. Dynamic molecular networks were constructed by DyNet to illustrate the common and distinct progression of health- or obesity-derived NAFLD. The dynamic co-expression modular analysis was carried out by CEMiTool to elucidate the key modulators, networks, and enriched pathways during NAFLD. + + RESULTS: A total of 453 DEGs were filtered from obesity, NAFL and NASH periods. Function annotation showed that health-NAFLD sequence was mainly associated with dysfunction of metabolic syndrome pathways, while obesity-NAFLD sequence exhibited dysregulation of Cell cycle and Cellular senescence pathways. Nine nodes including COL3A1, CXCL9, CYCS, CXCL10, THY1, COL1A2, SAA1, CDKN1A, and JUN in the dynamic networks were commonly identified in health- and obesity-derived NAFLD. Moreover, CYCS, whose role is unknown in NAFLD, possessed the highest correlation with NAFLD activity score, lobular inflammation grade, and the cytological ballooning grade. Dynamic co-expression modular analysis showed that module 4 was activated in NAFL and NASH, while module 3 was inhibited at NAFLD stages. Module 3 was negatively correlated with CXCL10, and module 4 was positively correlated with COL1A2 and THY1. + + CONCLUSION: Dynamic network analysis and dynamic gene co-expression modular analysis identified a nine-gene signature as the potential key regulator in NAFLD progression, which provided comprehensive regulatory mechanisms underlying NAFLD progression.

We hypothesized that the immune-modulatory function of MSCs might be blunted in obese human subjects. MSCs were collected from abdominal subcutaneous fat of obese and lean subjects during bariatric or kidney donation surgeries, respectively. MSCs were co-cultured in vitro for 24 h with M1 macrophages, which were determined as M1or M2 phenotypes by flow cytometry, and cytokines measured in conditioned media. In vivo, lean or obese MSCs (5 x 105 ), or PBS, were injected into mice two weeks after unilateral renal artery stenosis (RAS) or sham surgeries (n = 6 each). Fourteen days later, kidneys were harvested and stained with M1 or M2 markers. Lean MSCs decreased macrophages M1 marker intensity, which remained elevated in macrophages co-cultured with obese MSCs. TNF-alpha levels were four-fold higher in conditioned media collected from obese than from lean MSCs. RAS mouse kidneys were shrunk and showed increased M1 macrophage numbers and inflammatory cytokine expression compared with normal kidneys. Lean MSCs decreased M1 macrophages, M1/M2 ratio and inflammation in RAS kidneys, whereas obese MSCs did not. MSCs isolated from lean human subjects decrease inflammatory M1 macrophages both in vivo and in vitro, an immune-modulatory function which is blunted in MSCs isolated from obese subjects.

However, the regulatory role of IL-20 in obesity is not well understood. We explored the function of IL-20 in the pathogenesis of obesity-induced insulin resistance by ELISA, Western blotting and flow cytometry. The therapeutic potential of IL-20 monoclonal antibody 7E for ameliorating diet-induced obesity was analysed in murine models. Higher serum IL-20 levels were detected in obese patients. It was upregulated in leptin-deficient (ob/ob), leptin-resistant (db/db) and high-fat diet (HFD)-induced murine obesity models. In vitro, IL-20 regulated the adipocyte differentiation and the polarization of bone marrow-derived macrophages into proinflammatory M1 type. It also caused inflammation and macrophage retention in adipose tissues by upregulating TNF-alpha, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), netrin 1 and unc5b (netrin receptor) expression in macrophages and netrin 1, leptin and MCP-1 in adipocytes. IL-20 promoted insulin resistance by inhibiting glucose uptake in mature adipocytes through the SOCS-3 pathway. In HFD-induced obesity in mice, 7E treatment reduced body weight and improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity; it also reduced local inflammation and the number of M1-like macrophages in adipose tissues. We have identified a critical role of IL-20 in obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance, and we conclude that IL-20 may be a novel target for treating obesity and insulin resistance in patients with metabolic disorders.

However, no reliable miRNA-based method for molecular diagnosis of PCOS has been reported. The aim of this study was to develop a tool for accurate diagnosis of PCOS by targeted miRNA profiling of plasma samples, defined on the basis of unbiased biomarker-finding analyses and biostatistical tools. + + METHODS: A case-control PCOS cohort was cross-sectionally studied, including 170 women classified into four groups: non-PCOS/lean, non-PCOS/obese, PCOS/lean, and PCOS/obese women. High-throughput miRNA analyses were performed in plasma, using NanoString technology and a 800 human miRNA panel, followed by targeted quantitative real-timePCR validation. Statistics were applied to define optimal normalization methods, identify deregulated biomarker miRNAs, and build classification algorithms, considering PCOS and obesity as major categories. + + RESULTS: The geometric mean of circulating hsa-miR-103a-3p, hsa-miR-125a-5p, and hsa-miR-1976, selected among 125 unchanged miRNAs, was defined as optimal reference for internal normalization (named mR3-method). Ten miRNAs were identified and validated after mR3-normalization as differentially expressed across the groups. Multinomial least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and decision-tree models were built to reliably discriminate PCOS vs non-PCOS, either in obese or non-obese women, using subsets of these miRNAs as performers. + + CONCLUSIONS: We define herein a robust method for molecular classification of PCOS based on unbiased identification of miRNA biomarkers and decision-tree protocols. This method allows not only reliable diagnosis of non-obese women with PCOS but also discrimination between PCOS and obesity. + + CAPSULE: We define a novel protocol, based on plasma miRNA profiling, for molecular diagnosis of PCOS. This tool not only allows proper discrimination of the condition in non-obese women but also permits distinction between PCOS and obesity, which often display overlapping clinical presentations. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MicroRNAs). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.1530%2fEJE-21-0552 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Romero-Ruiz&issn=0804-4643&title=European+Journal+of+Endocrinology&atitle=Molecular+diagnosis+of+polycystic+ovary+syndrome+in+obese+and+non-obese+women+by+targeted+plasma+miRNA+profiling.&volume=185&issue=5&spage=637&epage=652&date=2021&doi=10.1530%2FEJE-21-0552&pmid=34403358&sid=OVID:medline + +<778> +Unique Identifier + 34403036 +Title + Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFbeta1) plasmatic levels and haplotype structures in obesity: a role for TGFbeta1 in steatosis development. +Source + Molecular Biology Reports. 48(9):6401-6411, 2021 Sep. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Felicidade I; Bocchi M; Ramos MRZ; Carlos LO; Wagner NRF; Campos ACL; Ribeiro LR; Mantovani MS; Watanabe MAE; Vitiello GAF +Authors Full Name + Felicidade, Ingrid; Bocchi, Mayara; Ramos, Marilia Rizzon Zaparolli; Carlos, Ligia de Oliveira; Wagner, Nathalia Ramori Farinha; Campos, Antonio Carlos Ligocki; Ribeiro, Lucia Regina; Mantovani, Mario Sergio; Watanabe, Maria Angelica Ehara; Vitiello, Glauco Akelinghton Freire. +Institution + Felicidade, Ingrid.

However, the role of this cytokine as a biomarker in obesity is poorly addressed. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the impact of TGFB1 polymorphisms and TGFbeta1 plasmatic levels in obesity METHODS AND RESULTS: TGFB1 promoter region polymorphisms (rs1800468, G-800A and rs1800469, C-509 T) were evaluated in 75 obese patients and 45 eutrophic patients through PCR-RFLP and plasmatic TGFbeta1 was quantified through ELISA from 37 of the obese patients, and correlations with clinical and biochemical parameters were tested. Despite no association was found between TGFB1 polymorphisms and obesity susceptibility, several correlations with clinical data were noted. Among others, AC haplotype negatively correlated with plasmatic TGFbeta1, while plasmatic TGFbeta1 negatively correlated with C-reactive protein and positively correlated with liver abnormalities on ultrasound and, specifically, with steatosis presence and degree. Conversely, GT haplotype, which associates with higher TGFbeta1 production, was also positively correlated with the same parameters of liver abnormalities. Further, plasmatic vitamin D negatively correlated with TGFbeta1, while positively correlated with AC haplotype. + + CONCLUSION: Overall, the results indicate that TGFbeta1 might exert important roles in obesity pathophysiology and correlate with biochemical and clinical parameters both at systemic protein as well as at genetic level. Importantly, the consistent positive correlation at both levels with steatosis might suggest this cytokine as a biomarker for this hepatic abnormality in obese patients. Copyright © 2021.

Its complications are the cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and increased mortality. That is why the search for predictive biomarkers is so important. The aim of the study was to show the prevalence of the problem and risk factors in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. These patients are often overweight and obese, and the percentage of lipid disorders is particularly high. The discussed markers of CVD risk in type 1 diabetes include apolipoproteins (apo-B and apo-C3), modified forms of LDL, and the role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Recently, a new look at the vasoprotective effect of HDL has appeared, which due to its dysfunctional form in type 1 diabetes may not protect against cardiovascular risk. The HDL proteome in type 1 diabetes has an altered protein composition compared to the healthy population. Another direction of research is determining the importance of trace elements (mainly Mg) in the development of diabetes complications.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the kynurenine pathway by transforming l-tryptophan (Trp) into l-kynurenine (Kyn), a metabolite endowed with anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory effects. In dendritic cells, IL-6 induces IDO1 proteasomal degradation and shuts down IDO1-mediated immunosuppressive effects. In tumor cells, IL-6 upregulates IDO1 expression and favors tumor immune escape mechanisms. To investigate the role of IDO1 and its possible relationship with IL-6 in obesity, we induced the disease by feeding mice with a high fat diet (HFD). Mice on a standard diet were used as control. Experimental obesity was associated with high IDO1 expression and Kyn levels in the stromal vascular fraction of visceral white adipose tissue (SVF WAT). IDO1-deficient mice on HFD gained less weight and were less insulin resistant as compared to wild type counterparts. Administration of tocilizumab (TCZ), an IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) antagonist, to mice on HFD significantly reduced weight gain, controlled adipose tissue hypertrophy, increased insulin sensitivity, and induced a better glucose tolerance. TCZ also induced a dramatic inhibition of IDO1 expression and Kyn production in the SVF WAT. Thus our data indicated that the IL-6/IDO1 axis may play a pathogenetic role in a chronic, low-grade inflammation condition, and, perhaps most importantly, IL-6R blockade may be considered a valid option for obesity treatment.

Divided into three groups were 98 participants (obese, overweight and normal-weight patients) according to BMI and were analyzed for three adipokines and six hormone peptides in blood serum and seminal plasma using Luminex assay. Standard semen analysis was performed for ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, total sperm count, motility, morphology and leukocytes. + + Results: In all groups of subjects, we observed a higher concentration of blood serum c-peptide, GIP, PAI-1, leptin, ghrelin and GLP-1 in comparison to seminal plasma; differently, higher levels in seminal plasma were observed for insulin and visfatin. In comparison to the non-obese subjects, obese subjects showed a higher blood serum concentration of c-peptide, GLP-1, GIP and leptin and a higher concentration of seminal plasma of GIP and insulin. Total sperm count, progressive motility, motility, and atypical forms directly correlated with PAI-1 and visfatin, whereas GLP-1 directly correlated only with total progressive motility. + + Conclusion: Obese men showed a different pattern of blood serum and seminal plasma adipokines and hormone peptides concentrations in comparison to normal-weight men. Furthermore, these molecules correlated with functional seminal parameters. Our findings support the option to consider these molecules as new biomarkers and pharmacological targets for a new therapeutic approach in male infertility. However, further studies identifying other potential biomarkers of male infertility with important clinical implication and characterizing their mechanisms of action are mandatory.

The aim of our pilot study was to identify gene expression relevant to obesity, T2D and the metabolic syndrome using a genome-wide transcriptomic approach in a human monocyte cell line incubated with arecoline and its nitrosated products. + + RESULTS: The THP1 monocyte cell line was incubated separately with arecoline and 3-methylnitrosaminopropionaldehyde (MNPA) in triplicate for 24 h and pooled cDNA indexed paired-end libraries were sequenced (Illumina NextSeq 500). After incubation with arecoline and MNPA, 15 and 39 genes respectively had significant changes in their expression (q < 0.05, log fold change 1.5). Eighteen of those genes have reported associations with T2D and obesity in humans; of these genes there was most marked evidence for CLEC10A, MAPK8IP1, NEGR1, NQ01 and INHBE genes. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary studies have identified a large number of genes relevant to obesity, T2D and metabolic syndrome whose expression was changed significantly in human TPH1 cells following incubation with betel-nut derived arecoline or with MNPA. These findings require validation by further cell-based work and investigation amongst betel-chewing communities. Copyright © 2021.

The 2 arms included a vegetable intervention (VI) during which participants received extra vegetables (~270 g/d) and an attention control (CON) group that conducted only the testing visits. Measurements included nutrient intake, plasma carotenoids, and bone-related markers in serum and urine. Differences between CON and VI at week 8 were tested using the ANCOVA with baseline values as a covariate. + + RESULTS: Compared with CON, carotenoid intake (mean +/- SD) was higher (6.4 +/- 3.4 compared with 2.0 +/- 1.2 mg/d) (P < 0.01) and dietary potential renal acid load was lower (20 +/- 13 compared with 3.4 +/- 14 mEq/d) (P < 0.01) in VI. Compared with CON at week 8, urine titratable acid and Mg were 24 and 26% lower, respectively, while urine pH was 3% greater (P < 0.05) and serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) was 19% lower in VI. There were no group differences in serum concentrations of propeptide of type 1 procollagen and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase or urinary excretion of deoxypyridinoline and CTX. + + CONCLUSIONS: Consumption of vegetables at the DGA-recommended amount by adults with low vegetable intake potentially benefits bone health.

Despite the documented relevance of the 'local' environment to breast cancer progression and the well-accepted differences in transcriptome and metabolic properties of anatomically distinct fat depots, specific breast adipose contributions to the proliferative potential of non-diseased breast glandular compartment are not fully understood. To address early breast cancer causation in the context of obesity status, we compared the cellular and molecular phenotypes of breast adipose and matched breast glandular tissue from premenopausal non-obese (mean BMI = 27 kg/m2) and obese (mean BMI = 44 kg/m2) women. Breast adipose from obese women showed higher expression levels of adipogenic, pro-inflammatory, and estrogen synthetic genes than from non-obese women. Obese breast glandular tissue displayed lower proliferation and inflammatory status and higher expression of anti-proliferative/pro-senescence biomarkers TP53 and p21 than from non-obese women. Transcript levels for T-cell receptor and co-receptors CD3 and CD4 were higher in breast adipose of obese cohorts, coincident with elevated adipose interleukin 10 (IL10) and FOXP3 gene expression. In human breast epithelial cell lines MCF10A and HMEC, recombinant human IL10 reduced cell viability and CCND1 transcript levels, increased those of TP53 and p21, and promoted (MCF10A) apoptosis. Our findings suggest that breast adipose-associated IL10 may mediate paracrine interactions between non-diseased breast adipose and breast glandular compartments and highlight how breast adipose may program the local inflammatory milieu, partly by recruiting FOXP3+ T regulatory cells, to influence premenopausal breast cancer risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Gonadal Steroid Hormones). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 130068-27-8 (Interleukin-10). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

While evident heterogeneity of resident ATMs has been described previously, their phenotype, developmental origin, and functionality remain inconsistent. We analyzed white adipose tissue (WAT) during homeostasis and diet interventions using comprehensive and unbiased single-cell mass cytometry and genetic lineage tracking models. We now provide a uniform definition of individual subsets of resident ATMs. We show that in lean mice, WAT co-harbors eight kinetically evolving CD206+ macrophage subpopulations (defined by TIM4, CD163, and MHC II) and two CD206- macrophage subpopulations. TIM4-CD163+, TIM4-CD163- and CD206- macrophage populations are largely bone marrow-derived, while the proliferating TIM4+CD163+ subpopulation is of embryonic origin. All macrophage subtypes are active in phagocytosis, endocytosis, and antigen processing in vitro, whereas TIM4+CD163+ cells are superior in scavenging in vivo. A high-fat diet induces massive infiltration of CD206- macrophages and selective down-regulation of MHC II on TIM4+ macrophages. These changes are reversed by dietary intervention. Thus, the developmental origin and environment jointly regulate the functional malleability of resident ATMs. Copyright © 2021 Felix, Jokela, Karhula, Kotaja, Savontaus, Salmi and Rantakari. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Proteome). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We hypothesize that thrombogenicity metrics measured by thromboelastography will provide better diagnostic and prognostic utility versus standard biomarkers in COVID-19 positive patients. In this observational prospective study, we included 119 hospitalized COVID-19 positive patients and 15 COVID-19 negative patients. On admission, we measured standard biomarkers and thrombogenicity using a novel thromboelastography assay (TEG-6s). In-hospital all-cause death and thrombotic occurrences (thromboembolism, myocardial infarction and stroke) were recorded. Most COVID-19 patients were African--Americans (68%). COVID-19 patients versus COVID-19 negative patients had higher platelet-fibrin clot strength (P-FCS), fibrin clot strength (FCS) and functional fibrinogen level (FLEV) (P <= 0.003 for all). The presence of high TEG-6 s metrics better discriminated COVID-19 positive from negative patients. COVID-19 positive patients with sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at least 3 had higher P-FCS, FCS and FLEV than patients with scores less than 3 (P <= 0.001 for all comparisons). By multivariate analysis, the in-hospital composite endpoint occurrence of death and thrombotic events was independently associated with SOFA score more than 3 [odds ratio (OR) = 2.9, P = 0.03], diabetes (OR = 3.3, P = 0.02) and FCS > 40 mm (OR = 3.4, P = 0.02). This largest observational study suggested the early diagnostic and prognostic utility of thromboelastography to identify COVID-19 and should be considered hypothesis generating. Our results also support the recent FDA guidance regarding the importance of measurement of whole blood viscoelastic properties in COVID-19 patients.

High AGEs serum concentrations can contribute to excess body weight. We evaluated the effect of consuming an energy-restricted diet and yacon flour on glycation markers concentrations, and the associations between these markers and factors linked to obesity in adults with excess body weight. + + METHODS: Twenty-six adults with excess body weight were included in this randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 6-week clinical trial. Subjects were randomly allocated to the control group (n = 13) or the yacon-flour group (n = 13), and daily consumed a breakfast drink either not containing or containing 25 g of yacon flour (8.7 g of fructooligosaccharides). Energy-restricted diets were prescribed for both groups. Biochemical markers, anthropometric variables, and body composition were evaluated at baseline and the end of the study. + + RESULTS: AGEs and early glycation products did not increase in the yacon flour group. Soluble receptor for AGEs (sRAGE) decreased regardless of group. Besides, changes in AGEs were positively associated with changes in body fat (beta = 0.04, P = 0.038) and in sRAGE, with insulin (beta = 0.02, P = 0.035) and homeostasis model assessment index of insulin resistance (beta = 0.01, P = 0.049). + + CONCLUSIONS: The consumption of 25 g of yacon flour associated with an energy-restricted diet did not increase concentrations of glycation markers. Changes in glycation markers were positively associated with changes in consolidated anthropometric and biochemical markers related to being overweight. Assessing glycation markers may be a useful strategy for monitoring responses to dietary interventions in subjects with excess body weight. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

The aim of the current study is to characterize the gut microbiome for MHOs as compared to 'metabolically unhealthy obeses' (MUOs). We compared the gut microbiome of 172 MHO and 138 MUO individuals from Chongqing (China) (inclined to eat red meat and food with a spicy taste), and performed validation with selected biomarkers in 40 MHOs and 33 MUOs from Quanzhou (China) (inclined to eat seafood and food with a light/bland taste). The genera Alistipes, Faecalibacterium and Odoribacter had increased abundance in both Chongqing and Quanzhou MHOs. We also observed different microbial functions in MUOs compared to MHOs, including an increased abundance of genes associated with glycan biosynthesis and metabolism. In addition, the microbial gene markers identified from the Chongqing cohort bear a moderate accuracy [AUC (area under the operating characteristic curve)=0.69] for classifying MHOs distinct from MUOs in the Quanzhou cohort. These findings indicate that gut microbiome is significantly distinct between MHOs and MUOs, implicating the potential of the gut microbiome in stratification and refined management of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The current study intended to assess the potential effects of DASH diet on metabolic risk factors in patients with chronic disease. + + DATA SYNTHESIS: We carried out a systematic literature search for RCTs from inception until July 2020. A total of 54 clinical trials were included in the final analysis. Compared to control groups, a significant lower effect of the DASH diet was noted for body weight (-1.59 kg; p < 0.001), BMI (-0.64 kg/m2; p < 0.001), and WC (-1.93 cm; p < 0.001) as well as for SBP (-3.94 mmHg; p < 0.001) and DBP (-2.44 mmHg; P < 0.001). The DASH diet significantly decreased TC (-5.12 mg/dl; p = 0.008) and LDL-C levels (-3.53 mg/dl; p = 0.041), but not HDL-C (0.30 mg/dl; p = 0.510), TG (-4.22 mg/dl; p = 0.067), and VLDL-C (-2.16 mg/dl; p = 0.062). No significant effect of the DASH diet was noted for blood glucose (-0.38 mg/dl; p = 0.216), insulin (-0.03 muIU/mL; p = 0.817), HOMA-IR (-0.15; p = 0.132), and CRP (-0.33 mg/l; p = 0.173). + + CONCLUSIONS: The DASH diet is a feasible approach to weight loss and to control blood pressure and hypercholesterolemia.

Aim of the study was to compare different types of BS with medical therapy (MT) for the treatment of obesity. + + DATA SYNTHESIS: We conducted a network-meta-analysis (NMA) including randomized clinical trials comparing different BS techniques versus MT in people with obesity, with a duration >=24 weeks (PROSPERO, #CRD42020160359). Primary endpoint was BMI. Indirect comparisons of different types of surgery were performed by NMA. Types of BS included: laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy (SG), bilio-pancreatic diversion (BPD); greater curvature plication (GCP); one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB); Laparoscopic Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (LVBG) and duodenal switch (DS). 43 trials were retrieved in this metanalysis. BS was associated with a significant reduction in BMI, systolic blood pressure, triglyceride and fasting glucose, and with a significant increase of HDL cholesterol when compared to MT. In direct comparisons, RYGB was more effective than LAGB, LVBG, and GCP, but less effective than DS, whereas LAGB was less effective than LVBG and SG. In the NMA, DS and BPD appeared to be more effective than other procedures. + + CONCLUSIONS: BS produces a greater weight loss than MT in morbidly obese patients, inducing a greater improvement of obesity-associated metabolic parameters. Available data are insufficient to assess the effect of BS on mortality. Different surgical procedures are heterogeneous for efficacy and safety.

HIF-PH inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) correct anemia in patients with renal disease and in animal models of anemia and kidney disease. However, the effects of HIF-PHIs on comorbidities associated with kidney disease remain largely unknown. We evaluated the effects of the HIF-PHI FG-2216 in obese ZSF1 (Ob-ZSF1) rats, an established model of kidney failure with metabolic syndrome. Following unilateral nephrectomy (Nx) at 8 weeks of age, rats were treated with 40 mg/kg FG-2216 or vehicle by oral gavage three times per week for up to 18 weeks. FG-2216 corrected blood hemoglobin levels and improved kidney function and histopathology in Nx-Ob-ZSF1 rats by increasing the glomerular filtration rate, decreasing proteinuria, and reducing peritubular fibrosis, tubular damage, glomerulosclerosis and mesangial expansion. FG-2216 increased renal glucose excretion and decreased body weight, fat pad weight, and serum cholesterol in Nx-Ob-ZSF1 rats. Additionally, FG-2216 corrected hypertension, improved diastolic and systolic heart function, and reduced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. In conclusion, the HIF-PHI FG-2216 improved renal and cardiovascular outcomes, and reduced obesity in a rat model of kidney disease with metabolic syndrome. Thus, in addition to correcting anemia, HIF-PHIs may provide renal and cardiac protection to patients suffering from kidney disease with metabolic syndrome. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Hemoglobins). 0 (Prolyl-Hydroxylase Inhibitors). 0 (Small Molecule Libraries).

Although aerobic exercise training generally has favorable effects on aortic structure and function, exercise alone may not be sufficient to improve aortic stiffness in older adults with obesity. We determined the effects of aerobic exercise training with and without moderate- to high-caloric restriction (CR) on the structure and function of the proximal aorta in 160 older (65-79 years) men and women with obesity (body mass index=30-45 kg/m2). + + METHODS: Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: aerobic exercise training only (treadmill 4 days/week for 30 minutes at 65% to 70% of heart rate reserve; n=56), aerobic exercise training plus moderate CR (n=55), or aerobic exercise training plus more intensive CR (n=49) for 20 weeks. Aortic pulse wave velocity, aortic distensibility, and other measures of aortic structure and function were assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. Pearson correlation coefficients were examined to assess associations between changes in proximal aortic stiffness and changes in fitness, fatness, and other potential confounders. + + RESULTS: Weight loss in the aerobic exercise training plus moderate CR (-8.0 kg [95% CI, -9.17 to -6.87]) and aerobic exercise training plus more intensive CR (-8.98 kg [95% CI, -10.23 to -7.73) groups was significantly greater compared with the aerobic exercise training-only group (-1.66 kg [95% CI, -2.94 to -0.38]; P<0.017 for both). There were significant treatment effects for descending aorta distensibility (P=0.008) and strain (P=0.004) and aortic arch pulse wave velocity (P=0.01) with the aerobic exercise training plus moderate CR group having a 21% increase in distensibility (P=0.016) and an 8% decrease in pulse wave velocity (P=0.058). None of the aortic stiffness measures changed significantly in the aerobic exercise training-only or aerobic exercise training plus more intensive CR groups, and there were no significant changes in any other measure of aortic structure or function in these groups. Overall, increases in aortic distensibility were correlated with improvements in body weight and body fat distribution, but these associations were not statistically significant after adjustment for multiple comparisons. + + CONCLUSIONS: In older adults with obesity, combining aerobic exercise with moderate CR leads to greater improvements in proximal aortic stiffness than exercise alone.

Women aged 18 to 40 years with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 27 who were planning pregnancy were randomly assigned to a behavioral weight loss intervention or usual care. Clinical care decisions and data collection were blind to condition assignment. We compared rates of diagnosis with gestational diabetes in early pregnancy between the groups using logistic regression. + + RESULTS: Of 326 participants, 168 (89 in the intervention and 79 in usual care) had singleton pregnancies during the study period. At baseline, mean age was 31.3 +/- 3.5 years and BMI was 34.8 +/- 5.8. Fifty-nine (66%) intervention participants and 57 (72%) usual care participants underwent early screening. Among those, intervention participants were 73% less likely to be diagnosed with gestational diabetes than usual care participants (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.27; 95% CI, 0.09-0.80). There was no difference in diagnosis of gestational diabetes in later pregnancy (aOR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.41-2.81). + + CONCLUSION: Participation in a prepregnancy weight loss intervention led to lower rates of gestational diabetes diagnosis in early pregnancy. This suggests positive effects of prepregnancy weight loss on the early metabolic environment, a critical factor in offspring metabolic risk. Copyright © The Author(s) 2021.

In the last decade, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have gained growing interest because of their potential role in IR modulation. NcRNAs are variable-length transcripts which are not translated into proteins but are involved in gene expression regulation. Thanks to their stability and easy detection in biological fluids, ncRNAs have been investigated as promising diagnostic and therapeutic markers in metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Here we review the emerging role of ncRNAs in the development of IR and related diseases such as obesity, T2D and NAFLD, and summarize current evidence concerning their potential clinical application. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). 0 (RNA, Untranslated). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The raising trends of obesity and metabolic disorders worldwide is often associated with the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which has become the most frequent type of chronic liver disorder with risk of progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver mitochondria play a key role in degrading the pathways of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and xenobiotics, and to provide energy for the body cells. The morphological and functional integrity of mitochondria guarantee the proper functioning of beta-oxidation of free fatty acids and of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Evaluation of the liver in clinical medicine needs to be accurate in NAFLD patients and includes history, physical exam, imaging, and laboratory assays. Evaluation of mitochondrial function in chronic liver disease and NAFLD is now possible by novel diagnostic tools. "Dynamic" liver function tests include the breath test (BT) based on the use of substrates marked with the non-radioactive, naturally occurring stable isotope 13C. Hepatocellular metabolization of the substrate will generate 13CO2, which is excreted in breath and measured by mass spectrometry or infrared spectroscopy. Breath levels of 13CO2 are biomarkers of specific metabolic processes occurring in the hepatocyte cytosol, microsomes, and mitochondria. 13C-BTs explore distinct chronic liver diseases including simple liver steatosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, drug, and alcohol effects. In NAFLD, 13C-BT use substrates such as alpha-ketoisocaproic acid, methionine, and octanoic acid to assess mitochondrial oxidation capacity which can be impaired at an early stage of disease. 13C-BTs represent an indirect, cost-effective, and easy method to evaluate dynamic liver function. Further applications are expected in clinical medicine. In this review, we discuss the involvement of liver mitochondria in the progression of NAFLD, together with the role of 13C-BT in assessing mitochondrial function and its potential use in the prevention and management of NAFLD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Their association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains uncertain, particularly in youth. + + OBJECTIVE: We investigated the role of BCAA and aromatic amino acids (AAA) in obesity, their relationships with novel biomarkers of CVD, and response to a physical activity-based lifestyle intervention (PAL-I) in a randomized controlled study in youth with normal weight (NW) and obesity (OB). + + METHODS: Age (14-18 years) and Tanner stage (>=IV) matched youth (OB, n = 15 and NW, n = 6) were studied; the 15 participants with OB underwent a 3-month randomized controlled PAL-I. Circulating amino acid profile, glucose, insulin, lipids, adiponectin, retinol binding protein-4, fibrinogen, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and 25-hydroxy vitamin-D, along with body composition, were measured at baseline and after PAL-I. Independent t tests, analysis of covariance, and mixed-effect models were used for analysis of the data. + + RESULTS: Compared with NW, the concentration of various amino acids, including BCAA and AAA, were altered in OB (P < 0.05). BCAA and AAA showed baseline correlations with body composition and novel biomarkers of CVD, particularly inflammatory factors (all P < 0.05). The PAL-I produced only negligible effects (P > 0.05) on BCAA and AAA. Glutamine, glycine, and aspartic acid decreased with PAL-I (all P < 0.05). + + CONCLUSION: The novel finding of the BCAA-inflammation relationship, along with strong correlations with nontraditional biomarkers of CVD, may raise the prospect of BCAA as a biomarker of CVD and evoke a potential link between obesity, T2DM, and CVD.

However, the exact etiology and pathogenesis of PCOS are still unknown. The aim of this study was to clarify the bacterial, stress status, and metabolic differences in the gut microbiomes of healthy individuals and patients with high body mass index (BMI) PCOS (PCOS-HB) and normal BMI PCOS (PCOS-LB), respectively. Here, we compared the gut microbiota characteristics of PCOS-HB, PCOS-LB, and healthy controls by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, FK506-binding protein 5 (FKBP5) DNA methylation and plasma metabolite determination. Clinical parameter comparisons indicated that PCOS patients had higher concentrations of total testosterone, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, luteinizing hormone, and HOMA-IR while lower FKBP5 DNA methylation. Significant differences in bacterial diversity and community were observed between the PCOS and healthy groups but not between the PCOS-HB and PCOS-LB groups. Bacterial species number was negatively correlated with insulin concentrations (both under fasting status and 120 min after glucose load) and HOMA-IR but positively related to FKBP5 DNA methylation. Compared to the healthy group, both PCOS groups had significant changes in bacterial genera, including Prevotella_9, Dorea, Maihella, and Slackia, and plasma metabolites, including estrone sulfate, lysophosphatidyl choline 18:2, and phosphatidylcholine (22:6e/19:1). The correlation network revealed the complicated interaction of the clinical index, bacterial genus, stress indices, and metabolites. Our work links the stress responses and gut microbiota characteristics of PCOS disease, which might afford perspectives to understand the progression of PCOS. Copyright © 2021.

We investigated the effects of taurine supplementation in conjunction with exercise on inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in plasma and scWAT of obese women. Sixteen obese women were randomized into two groups: Taurine supplementation group (Tau, n = 8) and Taurine supplementation + exercise group (Tau + Exe, n = 8). The intervention was composed of daily taurine supplementation (3 g) and exercise training for 8 weeks. Anthropometry, body fat composition, and markers of inflammatory and oxidative stress were determined in plasma and scWAT biopsy samples before and after the intervention. We found that, although taurine supplementation increased taurine plasma levels, no changes were observed for the anthropometric characteristics. However, Tau alone decreased interleukin-6 (IL-6), and in conjunction with exercise (Tau + Exe), increased anti-inflammatory interleukins (IL-15 and IL10), followed by reduced IL1beta gene expression in the scWAT of obese women. Tau and Tau + Exe groups presented reduced adipocyte size and increased connective tissue and multilocular droplets. In conclusion, taurine supplementation in conjunction with exercise modulated levels of inflammatory markers in plasma and scWAT, and improved scWAT plasticity in obese women, promoting protection against obesity-induced inflammation.

It is encoded by the Ch12:orf39 gene that is widely expressed in different body tissues/organs across species, and secreted into systemic circulation. Recent reports have highlighted a potentially important regulatory role of SPX in obesity and related comorbidities. SPX is also ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, including white adipose tissue. The circulating concentration of SPX is significantly lower in individuals with obesity compared to normal weight counterparts. SPX's role in obesity appears to be related to various factors, such as the regulation of energy expenditure, appetite, and eating behaviors, increasing locomotion, and inhibiting long-chain fatty acid uptake into adipocytes. Recent reports have also suggested SPX's relationship with novel biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and glucose metabolism and evoked the potential role of SPX as a key biomarker/player in the early loss of cardiometabolic health and development of CVD and diabetes later in life. Data on age-related changes in SPX and SPX's response to various interventions are also emerging. The current review focuses on the role of SPX in obesity and related comorbidities across the life span, and its response to interventions in these conditions. It is expected that this article will provide new ideas for future research on SPX and its metabolic regulation, particularly related to cardiometabolic diseases. Copyright © 2021.

The objective of this study was to assess body composition measures obtained on opportunistic abdominal CTs as predictors of outcome in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. We hypothesized that elevated visceral and intermuscular adipose tissue would be associated with adverse outcome. + + SUBJECTS/METHODS: Our retrospective study was IRB-approved and HIPAA-compliant. The study group comprised 124 patients (median age: 68 years, IQR: 56, 77; 59 weeks, 65 months) who were admitted with COVID-19 to a single hospital and who had undergone abdominal CT for clinical purposes. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), and paraspinal and abdominal muscle cross-sectional areas (CSA) were assessed. Clinical information including prognostic factors, time of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and time of death within 28 days were obtained. Multivariate time-to-event competing risk models were fitted to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) for a composite outcome of ICU admission/mortality associated with a one standard deviation increase in each body compositional measure. Each model was adjusted for age, sex, race, BMI, and cardiometabolic comorbidities. + + RESULTS: There were 50 patients who were admitted to the ICU or deceased over a median time of 1 day [IQR 1, 6] from hospital admission. Higher VAT/SAT ratio (HR of 1.30; 95% CI 1.04-1.62, p = 0.022) and higher IMAT CSA (HR of 1.44; 95% CI 1.10-1.89, p = 0.008) were associated with a reduced time to ICU admission or death in adjusted models. + + CONCLUSION: VAT/SAT and IMAT are predictors of adverse outcome in patients hospitalized with COVID-19, independent of other established prognostic factors. This suggests that body composition measures may serve as novel biomarkers of outcome in patients with COVID-19. Copyright © 2021.

We aimed to identify differentially expressed circulating biomarkers in obese HFpEF patients and link them to disease severity and outcomes. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: From the LIFE-Heart study, 999 patients with HFpEF and 999 patients without heart failure (no-HF) were selected and 92 circulating serum biomarkers were measured using a proximity extension assay. Elevation of identified biomarkers was validated in 220 patients from the Aldo-DHF trial with diagnosed HFpEF. HFpEF patients were older and had more comorbidities including coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes as compared to no-HF patients (P < 0.05 for all). After adjusting for covariates, adrenomedullin (ADM), galectin-9 (Gal-9), thrombospondin-2 (THBS-2), CD4, and tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor 2 (TRAIL-R2) were significantly higher in obese HFpEF patients [body mass index (BMI) >=30 kg/m2 , n = 464] as compared to lean HFpEF (BMI <30 kg/m2 , n = 535) and obese no-HF patients (BMI >=30 kg/m2 , n = 387) (P < 0.001 for both); these findings were verified in the Aldo-DHF validation cohort (P < 0.001). Except for CD4 these proteins were associated with increased estimates of left atrial pressure in a linear fashion. Importantly, ADM and CD4 were associated with increased mortality in obese HFpEF patients after adjusting for covariates. + + CONCLUSION: Obese HFpEF patients exhibit higher circulating biomarkers of volume expansion (ADM), myocardial fibrosis (THBS-2) and systemic inflammation (Gal-9, CD4) compared to obese non-HFpEF or lean HFpEF patients. These findings support the clinical definition of a distinct obese HFpEF phenotype and might merit further investigation. Copyright © 2021 The Authors.

Herein, we investigated the relationship of RHR with expression of leukocyte-inflammatory markers and TLRs in HO individuals. 58-obese and 57-lean participants with no history of a major medical condition, were recruited in this study. In HO individuals, the elevated-RHR correlated positively with diastolic blood pressure, cholesterol, pro-inflammatory monocytes CD11b+CD11c+CD206- phenotype (r = 0.52, P = 0.0003) as well as with activated T cells CD8+HLA-DR+ phenotype (r = 0.27, P = 0.039). No association was found between RHR and the percentage of CD16+CD11b+ neutrophils. Interestingly, elevated RHR positively correlated with cells expressing TLR4 and TLR2 (CD14+TLR4+, r = 0.51, P <= 0.0001; and CD14+TLR2+, r = 0.42, P = 0.001). TLR4+ expressing cells also associated positively with the plasma concentrations of proinflammatory or vascular permeability/matrix modulatory markers including TNF-alpha (r = 0.36, P = 0.005), VEGF (r = 0.47, P = 0.0002), and MMP-9 (r = 0.53, P <= 0.0001). Multiple regression revealed that RHR is independently associated with CD14+TLR4+ monocytes and VEGF. We conclude that in HO individuals, increased CD14+TLR4+ monocytes and circulatory VEGF levels associated independently with RHR, implying that RHR monitoring could be used as a non-invasive clinical indicator to identify healthy obese individuals at an increased risk of developing inflammation and cardiovascular disease. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Surrogate indices of insulin sensitivity are of limited utility in population without signs of metabolic syndrome. + + OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to provide simple and accurate index of insulin sensitivity. + + DESIGN: The study group comprised 150 young healthy participants. Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp was performed. Regression models with different laboratory parameters were constructed. Validation cohort 1 comprised independent group of 110 subjects, including individuals with prediabetes and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Validation cohort 2 comprised 38 obese subjects before and after diet-induced weight loss. Validation cohort 3 comprised 60 nondiabetic subjects from an independent center. + + RESULTS: The supervised principal component model established optimal set of variables correlated with insulin sensitivity. This model (Fasting Laboratory Assessment of Insulin Sensitivity [FLAIS]) used red blood cell count, alanine aminotransferase activity, serum C-peptide, SHBG, IGF-binding protein 1, and adiponectin concentrations. FLAIS exhibited strong correlation with clamp-derived insulin sensitivity. The sensitivity of the model was 90% and the specificity was 68%. In validation cohort 1, differences in FLAIS among the groups paralleled those observed with the clamp, with the lowest values in prediabetes and diabetes. In validation cohort 2, FLAIS reflected the change in insulin sensitivity after weight loss. The main findings were confirmed in validation cohort 3. + + CONCLUSION: We provide simple and accurate method of assessing insulin sensitivity, which allows to identify insulin resistance even in the population without overt metabolic disturbances.

Given few studies examining the strength of the association in this population, we aimed to identify which obesity indices are most strongly associated with T2DM and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) among adults from five West African countries. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Data from 15,520 participants from the World Health Organisation (WHO) STEPs surveys in Burkina Faso, Benin, Mali, Liberia, and Ghana were included in analyses. Multinomial logistic regression was used to calculate the relative risk (RR) per standard deviation (SD) of each anthropometric measure, modelled as both continuous variables and as categorical variables based on established cut-points. In the analyses with continuous variables, the unadjusted RRs for T2DM per SD were 1.30 (1.23, 1.37) for body mass index (BMI); 1.56 (1.46, 1.67) for WC; 2.57 (2.15, 3.09) for WHtR and 1.16 (1.03, 1.31) for WHR. WHtR showed the strongest association with T2DM in all adjusted analyses. For models using categorical variables based on established cut-points, obesity defined using waist circumference (OB-WC) and OB-BMI showed the strongest associations with T2DM, and OB-WHR, the weakest association in all adjusted analyses. + + CONCLUSION: WHtR and WC appear to be the indices most strongly associated with T2DM and IFG respectively. Given its simplicity, WC may be the metric that most usefully conveys risk for T2DM in West African adults.

We hypothesized that proteomic profiling may provide insights into the biological pathways that contribute to various obesity-associated cardiometabolic traits. We sought to identify proteomic signatures of obesity and examine overlap with related cardiometabolic traits, including abdominal adiposity, insulin resistance, and adipose depots. Methods and Results We measured 71 circulating cardiovascular disease protein biomarkers in 6981 participants (54% women; mean age, 49 years). We examined the associations of obesity, computed tomography measures of adiposity, cardiometabolic traits, and incident metabolic syndrome with biomarkers using multivariable regression models. Of the 71 biomarkers examined, 45 were significantly associated with obesity, of which 32 were positively associated and 13 were negatively associated with obesity (false discovery rate q<0.05 for all). There was significant overlap of biomarker profiles of obesity and cardiometabolic traits, but 23 biomarkers, including melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM), growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15), and lipoprotein(a) (LPA) were unique to metabolic traits only. Using hierarchical clustering, we found that the protein biomarkers clustered along 3 main trait axes: adipose, metabolic, and lipid traits. In longitudinal analyses, 6 biomarkers were significantly associated with incident metabolic syndrome: apolipoprotein B (apoB), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 (IGFBP2), plasma kallikrein (KLKB1), complement C2 (C2), fibrinogen (FBN), and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP); false discovery rate q<0.05 for all. Conclusions We found that the proteomic architecture of obesity overlaps considerably with associated cardiometabolic traits, implying shared pathways. Despite overlap, hierarchical clustering of proteomic profiles identified 3 distinct clusters of cardiometabolic traits: adipose, metabolic, and lipid. Further exploration of these novel protein targets and associated pathways may provide insight into the mechanisms responsible for the progression from obesity to cardiometabolic disease. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We performed a randomized controlled trial to compare clinical improvement and inflammatory markers between aggressive and standard fluid management. + + METHODS: A single center prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. We randomized patients with a diagnosis of mild acute pancreatitis using revised Atlanta classification in two groups, the aggressive (20 ml/kg bolus followed by 3 ml/kg/hr) and standard (10 ml/kg bolus followed by 1.5 ml/kg/hr) intravenous hydration with Lactated Ringer's solution. Primary outcome was clinical improvement at 24 and 36 hours. + + RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 46 years and 34 patients (77%) were male. The average volumes of fluid during the first 24 hours in aggressive and standard groups was 4886 ml (71 ml/kg) and 3985 ml (53 ml/kg), respectively; p-value 0.002. Aggressive intravenous hydration did not significantly improve clinical outcome compared with standard intravenous hydration (45.45% vs. 31.82%, respectively; p-value 0.353). However, subgroup analysis between patients with obese and non-obese status, revealed aggressive intravenous hydration significantly improved clinical outcome within the first 24 hours in obese group. + + CONCLUSION: Aggressive intravenous hydration with Lactated Ringer's solution did not improve clinical outcome in mild acute pancreatitis but showed statistically significant improvement only in patients with obese status. Future studies should include a larger sample size to confirm these findings. Copyright © 2021 IAP and EPC. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Here, we show that intestinal MYC regulates systemic metabolism. We find that MYC expression is increased in ileum biopsies from individuals with obesity and positively correlates with body mass index. Intestine-specific reduction of MYC in mice improves high-fat-diet-induced obesity, insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis. Mechanistically, reduced expression of MYC in the intestine promotes glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) production and secretion. Moreover, we identify Cers4, encoding ceramide synthase 4, catalysing de novo ceramide synthesis, as a MYC target gene. Finally, we show that administration of the MYC inhibitor 10058-F4 has beneficial effects on high-fat-diet-induced metabolic disorders, and is accompanied by increased GLP-1 and reduced ceramide levels in serum. This study positions intestinal MYC as a putative drug target against metabolic diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Copyright © 2021.

Comprehensive studies have established that the maintenance of certain concentrations of circulating leptin is essential to avoid an imbalance in nutrient intake. Indeed, genetic modifications of the leptin/leptin receptor axis and the obesogenic environment may induce changes in leptin levels or action in a manner that accelerates metabolic dysfunctions, resulting in a hyperphagic status and adipose tissue expansion. As a result, a vicious cycle begins wherein hyperleptinaemia and leptin resistance occur, in turn leading to increased food intake and fat enlargement, which is followed by leptin overproduction. In addition, in the context of obesity, a defective thermoregulatory response is associated with impaired leptin signalling overall within the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus. These recent findings highlight the role of leptin in the regulation of adaptive thermogenesis, thus suggesting leptin to be potentially considered as a new thermolipokine. This review provides new insight into the link between obesity, hyperleptinaemia, leptin resistance and leptin deficiency, focusing on the ability to restore leptin sensitiveness by way of enhanced thermogenic responses and highlighting novel anti-obesity therapeutic strategies. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Compared with that of atypical first-generation antipsychotics, atypical second-generation antipsychotics such as clozapine have less severe side effects and may positively affect obesity and blood glucose level. However, no systematic study of clozapine's adverse metabolic effects-such as changes in kidney and liver function, body weight, glucose and triglyceride levels, and retinopathy-was conducted. This research investigated how clozapine affects weight, the bodily distribution of chromium, liver damage, fatty liver scores, glucose homeostasis, renal impairment, and retinopathy in mice fed a high fat diet (HFD). We discovered that obese mice treated with clozapine gained more weight and had greater kidney, liver, and retroperitoneal and epididymal fat pad masses; higher daily food efficiency; higher serum or hepatic triglyceride, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine levels; and higher hepatic lipid regulation marker expression than did the HFD-fed control mice. Furthermore, the clozapine group mice exhibited insulin resistance, poorer insulin sensitivity, greater glucose intolerance, and less Akt phosphorylation; their GLUT4 expression was lower, they had renal damage, more reactive oxygen species, and IL-1 expression, and, finally, their levels of antioxidative enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase) were lower. Moreover, clozapine reduced the thickness of retinal cell layers and increased iNOS and NF-kappaB expression; a net negative chromium balance occurred because more chromium was excreted through urine, and this influenced chromium mobilization, which did not help overcome the hyperglycemia. Our clozapine group had considerably higher fatty liver scores, which was supported by the findings of lowered adiponectin protein levels and increased FASN protein, PNPLA3 protein, FABP4 mRNA, and SREBP1 mRNA levels. We conclude that clozapine can worsen nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes, and kidney and retinal injury. Therefore, long-term administration of clozapine warrants higher attention. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (FABP4 protein, human). 0 (Fatty Acid-Binding Proteins). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Reactive Oxygen Species). 0 (SREBF1 protein, human). 0 (Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein 1). 0R0008Q3JB (Chromium).

Mice fed a Western-style diet (WSD) develop obesity and are characterized by a diet-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction, bacterial endotoxin translocation and subsequent liver steatosis. To examine whether inulin or sodium butyrate could improve gut barrier dysfunction, C57BL/6 mice were fed a control diet or a WSD +/- fructose supplemented with either 10% inulin or 5% sodium butyrate for 12 weeks respectively. Inulin and sodium butyrate attenuated hepatosteatitis in the WSD-induced obesity mouse model by reducing weight gain, liver weight, plasma and hepatic triglyceride level. Furthermore, supplementation with inulin or sodium butyrate induced expression of Paneth cell alpha-defensins and matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7), which was impaired by the WSD and particularly the fructose-added WSD. Effects on antimicrobial peptide function in the ileum were accompanied by induction of beta-defensin-1 and tight junction genes in the colon resulting in improved intestinal permeability and endotoxemia. Organoid culture of small intestinal crypts revealed that the short chain fatty acids (SCFA) butyrate, propionate and acetate, fermentation products of inulin, induce Paneth cell alpha-defensin expression in vitro, and that histone deacetylation and STAT3 might play a role in butyrate-mediated induction of alpha-defensins. In summary, inulin and sodium butyrate attenuate diet-induced barrier dysfunction and induce expression of Paneth cell antimicrobials. The administration of prebiotic fiber or sodium butyrate could be an interesting therapeutic approach to improve diet-induced obesity.

We sought to observe the effect of OC on fat distribution and subclinical atherosclerosis as measured by carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in premenopausal obese women. In this prospective observational study, totally, 73 premenopausal obese women (aged 17-55 years) and 53 healthy women (aged 20-50 years) with normal weight were included as controls. Anthropometric measurements, total fat and fat ratio, insulin, fasting blood glucose, and OC levels were estimated. Ultrasonography was used to assess fat distribution, and fat thickness was measured in 4 regions. Subcutaneous fat (SCF), visceral fat (VF), and preperitoneal fat (PPF) thicknesses were considerably higher in obese subjects (p<0.01) than healthy controls, while OC levels were significantly lower. No correlation was observed between OC levels and SCF, VF, or PPF. In a multiple regression analysis, OC was significantly positively associated with SCF (p=0.04, Beta=0.284). No associations were observed between OC levels and VF, PPF, or CIMT. A significant association was observed between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and VF (p=0.021, Beta=0.284), and vitamin D levels were inversely associated with VF (p=0.002, r=-0.366). OC levels were lower in premenopausal obese women than normal-weight healthy controls, but OC exhibited no correlation with VF or PPF, and only a weak positive association with SCF. Additionally, VF was positively correlated with PTH and inversely correlated with vitamin D. These results suggest that OC may be an early indicator of lipid accumulation in te subcutaneous area and development of atherosclerosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 104982-03-8 (Osteocalcin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

In this study, we showed that angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) is widely expressed in the mouse body, including the kidney, spleen, brain, heart, lung, liver, and testis, and that ACE2 levels increased after a high-fat diet. The ACE2 levels were recorded at 0 days, 3 days, 7 days, and 14 days after a high-fat diet, and they increased at 14 days after high-fat diet initiation. In addition, triglyceride levels were also significantly increased at 14 days after high-fat diet initiation, but body weight was not changed. Furthermore, we examined the ACE2 levels in Calu3 cells (a lung cancer cell line) after triglyceride treatment, and the results indicated that ACE2 levels were increased at 25 muM and reached their peak at 200 muM. Finally, we found that the mRNA level of mthfd1 was significantly increased in the high-fat diet group. Given these findings, we hypothesize that triglycerides can regulate the expression of ACE2 and Mthfd1. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Mthfd1 protein, mouse). 0 (Multifunctional Enzymes). 0 (RNA, Messenger). 0 (Triglycerides).

The two groups were compared in terms of age at diagnosis, birth weight, anthropometric measurements, insulin dose used and blood pressure measurements, and insulin, c-peptide, hemoglobin A1c, triglyceride, and high-density lipoprotein levels at the time of diagnosis and follow-up. + + RESULTS: The height, weight and body mass index standard deviation (BMI SD) scores, and c-peptide levels at the time of diagnosis of the overweight/obese group were higher than those with normal weight (p<0.001 and p = 0.008, respectively). The frequency of dyslipidemia and hypertension was higher in the overweight/obese group than in the normal weight group [18.2 vs. 5% (p = 0.015) and 10 vs. 1.5% (p = 0.003), respectively]. + + CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the fact that the overweight/obese group had higher BMI and c-peptide and lower HDL values at the time of diagnosis can be evaluated as indicators that insulin resistance syndrome can accompany T1DM from the beginning (double diabetes). When determining the treatment and follow-up strategies of patients with T1DM, considering the risk of obesity and taking the necessary precautions is very important in terms of morbidity.

BMI, FM, and WC were assessed. The Course-Navette test was used to assess CRF. MetS was calculated following the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definitions, and assessed using WC, triglycerides (TGs), high density lipoprotein (HD), fasting glucose (FG), and systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP/DBP). CCMR was calculated based on the sex and age-specific z score. + + RESULTS: The prevalence of overweightness, obesity, MetS, and CCMR were 17.22, 1.44, 5.74, and 18.36%, respectively. After including BMI, FM, or WC into the model, the association between CRF and MetS was no longer significant, and the association between CRF and CCMR was only significant when it was mediated by BMI (beta = -0.006; p = 0.026). The rest of the analysis of the mediation did not show a direct effect, although a significant indirect effect with a significant value for the Sobel test was observed (all p < 0.001). + + CONCLUSIONS: BMI, FM, and WC act as full mediators in the association between CRF and MetS; FM and WC act as full mediators in the association between CRF and CCMR; and BMI acts as a partial mediator. The use of FM or WC as obesity variables is recommended.

This study aimed to determine the associations of individual AAs with the development of T2DM in rural Chinese adults. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: A cohort study of 1199 individuals aged 18 years or older was conducted from 2006 to 2008 in a rural community of Deqing, China, a repeated survey was done in 2015 and data linkage with the electronic health records system was performed each year for identifying new T2DM cases. A high-performance liquid chromatography approach was used to measure the baseline serum concentrations of 15 AAs. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the associations between AAs and the risk of incident T2DM. A total of 98 new T2DM cases were identified during the follow-up of 12 years on average. Among 15 AAs, proline was associated with an increased risk of incident T2DM after adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, fasting plasma glucose, family history of T2DM, smoking status, alcohol use, and history of hypertension, the adjusted hazard ratio for 1-standard deviation increment was 1.20 (95% confidence interval: 1.00, 1.43). The association tended to be more marked in subjects younger than 60 years and overweight/obese subjects. Among participants without hypertension, proline and phenylalanine were associated with an increased risk of incident T2DM, while aspartic acid was associated with a decreased risk. + + CONCLUSION: Serum proline was associated with the risk of incident T2DM in rural Chinese adults and might be a potential predictor.

We hypothesized that rats with diet-induced obesity would lose less lean body mass after undergoing massive small bowel resection compared to non-obese rats. Rats (CD IGS; age = 2 mo; N = 80) were randomly assigned to either a high-fat (obese rats) or a low-fat diet (non-obese rats), and fed ad lib for six months. Each diet group then was randomized to either underwent a 75% distal small bowel resection (massive resection) or small bowel transection with re-anastomosis (sham resection). All rats then were fed ad lib with an intermediate-fat diet (25% of total calories) for two months. Body weight and quantitative magnetic resonance-determined body composition were monitored. Preoperative body weight was 884 +/- 95 versus 741 +/- 75 g, and preoperative percent body fat was 35.8 +/- 3.9 versus 24.9 +/- 4.6%; high-fat vs. low fat diet, respectively (p < 0.0001); preoperative diet type had no effect on lean mass. Regarding total body weight, massive resection produced an 18% versus 5% decrease in high-fat versus low-fat rats respectively, while sham resection produced a 2% decrease vs. a 7% increase, respectively (p < 0.0001, preoperative vs. necropsy data). Sham resection had no effect on lean mass; after massive resection, both high-fat and low-fat rats lost lean mass, but these changes were not different between the latter two rat groups. The high-fat diet and low-fat diet induced obesity and marginal obesity, respectively. The massive resection produced greater weight loss in high-fat rats compared to low-fat rats. The type of dietary preconditioning had no effect on lean mass loss after massive resection. A protective effect of pre-existing obesity on lean mass after massive intestinal resection was not demonstrated. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

A total of 80 Korean subjects were divided into three groups, according to the WBC count: mild decrease in WBC, normal WBC, and mild increase in WBC. Fasting blood samples for analyzing biochemical parameters and inflammatory markers were obtained from the subjects, and their body fat composition was evaluated by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography. The WBC levels were related to levels of adiponectin, triglyceride, and insulin, which are associated with the risk of chronic diseases. In the mild increase in WBC group, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and TNF-alpha levels increased, and s.c. fat area at the first lumbar vertebrae and fourth lumbar vertebrae decreased. The WBC count positively correlated with hs-CRP and TNF-alpha levels and most of the body fat composition data, evaluated by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography. Notably, hs-CRP and TNF-alpha levels, fat mass, and visceral-to-s.c. fat area ratio at the first lumbar vertebrae were revealed as independent predictors of WBC level change. Finally, the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the additional use of body fat composition data with the conventional inflammatory markers reliably enhanced the predictive capacity of WBC level changes. Thus, we suggest that by controlling inflammatory markers and body fat composition, WBC levels can be kept within a range that is safe from the risk of chronic diseases.

It is not yet known whether inflammation mediates the effects of obesity on aging. + + OBJECTIVE: This work aims to dissect the direct effect of body mass index (BMI) and its indirect effect through C-reactive protein (CRP) on leukocyte telomere length (LTL) to determine the mediation effect of CRP on the BMI-LTL association. + + METHODS: The study cohort included 5451 adults (1404 Mexican American, 3114 White, and 933 Black individuals; 53.5% male; mean age = 49.2 years) from the 1999 to 2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. General mediation models were used to examine the mediation effect of CRP on the BMI-LTL association. + + RESULTS: After adjusting for age, race, sex, physical activity, alcohol use, and serum cotinine, the total effect of BMI on LTL was significant (standardized regression coefficient, beta = -.054, P < .001) without CRP included in the model. With inclusion of CRP in the model, the indirect effect of BMI on LTL through CRP was estimated at beta equal to -.023 (P < .001), and the direct effect of BMI on LTL in its absolute value decreased to beta equal to -.031 (P = .025). The mediation effect of CRP was estimated at 42.6%. The mediation model parameters did not differ significantly between race and sex groups. + + CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the inverse BMI-LTL association is partly mediated by obesity-induced inflammation. The significant direct effect of BMI on LTL with removal of the mediation effect through CRP indicates that obesity is associated with LTL attrition also through other noninflammatory mechanisms.

We evaluated the relationship between IR and an established ovarian reserve biomarker such as anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) together with other potential modulators of ovarian physiology (adiponectin and kisspeptin) in young reproductive-aged group women with obesity and type 1 diabetes (T1D). + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: We recruited 32 female youths: 14 of them presented with T1D (14.6 +/- 2.6 years) and 18 with obesity (15.1 +/- 2.6 years). The control group included 20 age-matched normal weight females. Each patient underwent physical examination and hormonal assessment. AMH, kisspeptin and adiponectin levels were also measured. IR was calculated as the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the glucose disposal rate (eGDR) in patients with obesity and with T1D, respectively. + + RESULTS: adiponectin and kisspeptin levels were significantly different into groups (p <= .001), whereas AMH levels were not. Adiponectin values were higher in controls compared to patients with obesity (p < .001) and T1D (p = .02). Kisspeptin levels were lower in controls compared to patients with obesity (p = .001), without reaching statistical significance when compared to T1D (p = .06). IR was associated with lower adiponectin and higher kisspeptin levels (p < .001 and p = .02, respectively), but not with AMH. + + CONCLUSIONS: IR displays a relationship with adiponectin and kisspeptin in young reproductive-aged women with obesity and T1D. Interventions to correct IR in adolescents could be part of an early approach to prevent reproductive disorders and to promote factors associated with longevity in adult women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Kisspeptins). 80497-65-0 (Anti-Mullerian Hormone). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.1080%2f09513590.2021.1940127 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Calcaterra&issn=0951-3590&title=Gynecological+Endocrinology&atitle=Insulin+resistance+and+potential+modulators+of+ovarian+reserve+in+young+reproductive-aged+women+with+obesity+and+type+1+diabetes.&volume=37&issue=9&spage=823&epage=830&date=2021&doi=10.1080%2F09513590.2021.1940127&pmid=34137355&sid=OVID:medline + +<820> +Unique Identifier + 34136580 +Title + Association of Body Fat Percentage with Time in Range Generated by Continuous Glucose Monitoring during Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes. +Source + Journal of Diabetes Research. 2021:5551216, 2021. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ruan Y; Zhong J; Chen R; Zhang Z; Liu D; Sun J; Chen H +Author NameID + Sun, Jia; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9617-5865 + Chen, Hong; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6317-9955 +Authors Full Name + Ruan, Yuting; Zhong, Jiana; Chen, Rongping; Zhang, Zhen; Liu, Dixing; Sun, Jia; Chen, Hong. +Institution + Ruan, Yuting.

Excessive accumulation of body fat may affect the glycemia control in T2DM. This study investigated the relationship between body fat percentage and time in range (TIR) assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) during short-term continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy in T2DM patients. + + METHOD: A total of 85 T2DM patients were recruited in this cross-sectional study. All participants underwent 72 h CGM period during short-term CSII therapy. TIR was defined as the percentage of time spent within the target glucose range of 3.9-10.0 mmol/L. Body composition was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and overfat was defined as an amount of body fat of at least 25% of total body mass for men or at least 30% for women. Multiple linear regression models were used to evaluate the independent association of body fat percentage with TIR after adjusting for confounding factors. + + RESULTS: Compared with normal fat T2DM patients, individual with a higher body fat percentage exhibited lower levels of TIR (P = 0.004) and higher 72 h mean blood glucose (72 h MBG) (P = 0.001) during short-term CSII treatment. The prevalence of overfat assessed by body fat percentage decreased with the ascending TIR tertiles (P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that body fat percentage was significantly associated with TIR independent of age, gender, diabetes duration, HbA1c, and BMI (P = 0.043). + + CONCLUSIONS: Body fat percentage was significantly associated with TIR in T2DM during short-term CSII therapy. Reduction of body fat may be an important therapeutic target to improve glycemic control in high body fat T2DM patients, who may benefit less from intensive insulin treatment.

This study aims to explore the possible links between blood sugar level and albuminuria, providing the exact cut point of the "risk threshold" for blood glucose with DKD. + + Methods: The relationship between blood glucose and albuminuria was modeled using linear and logistic regression in the REACTION study cohorts (N= 8932). Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by logistic regression model. Two-slope linear regression was used to simulate associations between blood glucose and ACR. + + Results: We found that the increase in ACR was accompanied by increased HbA1c, with a turning point at 5.5%. The positive correlation remained highly significant (P<0.001) when adjusted for age, sex, marital status, education, smoking status, drinking status, BMI, waistline, SBP and DBP. In subgroup analyses including gender, obesity, hypertension, and smoking habits, the relationship was significant and stable. + + Conclusions: We determined a risk threshold for HbA1c associated with albuminuria in a Chinese population over the age of 40. HbA1c >= 5.5% was positively and independently associated with ACR. These results suggest the necessity of early blood glucose control and renal function screening for DKD in at-risk populations.

Several simple indexes of insulin resistance calculated from biochemical or anthropometric variables have been proposed. The study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of indirect insulin resistance indicators in detecting metabolic syndrome in non-diabetic patients, including TG/HDLc, METS-IR, TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, TyG-WHtR, and new indicators TyG-NC (TyG-neck circumference) and TyG-NHtR (Tyg-neck circumference to height ratio). + + METHODS: The diagnostic accuracy of eight insulin resistance indexes was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves) in 665 adult non-diabetic patients. Then, the analysis was performed after the division into groups with proper body mass index, overweight and obese. + + RESULTS: All indexes achieved significant diagnostic accuracy, with the highest AUC (area under the curve) for TyG (0.888) and Tg/HDLc (0.874). The highest diagnostic performance in group with the proper body mass index was shown for TyG (0.909) and TyG-BMI (0.879). The highest accuracy in the group of overweight individuals was presented by TyG (0.884) and TG/HDLc (0.855). TG/HDLc and TyG showed the highest AUC (0.880 and 0.877, respectively) in the group with obesity. Both TyG-NC and TyG-NHtR reached significant areas under the curve, which makes them useful diagnostic tests in metabolic syndrome. + + CONCLUSIONS: Indirect indices of insulin resistance, including proposed TyG-NC and TyG-NHtR, show an essential diagnostic value in diagnosing metabolic syndrome. TyG and TG/HDLc seem to be the most useful in the Caucasian population. Copyright © 2021.

The aim of the study was to evaluate serum FABP5 in obese and non-obese psoriatic patients, to assess the relationship between FABP5 and the duration, severity of the disease, inflammatory and metabolic markers and influence of treatment with narrowband-ultraviolet B (NB-UVB). Seventy-four patients (30 treated with NB-UVB) with psoriasis were enrolled in the study. The serum concentrations of FABP5 were measured using Human FABP5 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay kit. Serum fatty acids were measured by gas-liquid chromatography. Serum FABP5 levels in psoriatic patients were higher versus control group (P < 0.001). FABP5 in patients with PASI > 20 was higher compared to the mild group (PASI < 10) (P < 0.001) and serum FABP5 correlated positively with PASI score (r = 0.41, P < 0.001). There was also positive correlation between FABP5 and basic inflammation indices. Decrease of PASI after NB-UVB treatment (P < 0.001) was observed and accompanied by decrease of the serum FABP5 (P = 0.007). FABP5 is a potential marker of psoriasis, its severity and clinical outcome after therapy with NB-UVB.

The study group included 126 obese Saudi females. Of these 63 were suffering from PCOS while the rest were normo-ovulatory obese women (non-PCOS obese). In the obese PCOS, VEGF was almost four times as high as in the non-PCOS obese, while kisspeptin and Vit D did not differ. A highly significant elevation was recorded in the waist/hip (WHR), cholesterol, LDL-C, fasting glucose, LH, LH/FSH ratio, estradiol (E2), and testosterone, while hip circumference, leptin, progesterone, and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) were lower in the obese PCOS subjects. BMI, HDL-C, ghrelin, insulin, and FSH levels did not differ significantly between the two groups. The obese PCOS had the same level of insulin resistance as the non-PCOS group, as judged by QUICK Index. Correlation studies showed a significant negative correlation between kisspeptin and glucose and LH levels, and a positive correlation with LH/FSH ratio in obese PCOS while in the non-PCOS obese, the kisspeptin correlated positively with glucose, and there was no correlation with LH or LH/FSH. VEGF negatively correlated with FSH and positively with LH/FSH ratio in the non-PCOS obese but this was lost in the obese PCOS. PCOS had no effect on the correlation between Vit D and all studied parameters. Multiple regression analysis showed triglyceride as predictor variable for kisspeptin as a dependent variable, while, leptin is a predictor variable for VEGF as a dependent variable. ROC studies showed the highest sensitivity and specificity for VEGF (AOC=1.00), followed by LH/FSH ratio (AOC=0.979). In conclusion, our study shows that PCOS results in significant elevation of VEGF in obese females, while kisspeptin and Vit D levels are not affected. It also leads to elevation in several of the lipid and hormonal abnormalities in the obese females. In addition, PCOS influences relationship between Kisspeptin and VEGF and some parameters such as glucose, LH or FSH and LH/FSH ratio in obese females, but does not affect Vit D relationship with other parameter.

In humans, methylation and expression of the FHL2 gene increases with age, and high FHL2 expression is associated with increased body weight in humans and mice. This led us to hypothesize that FHL2 is a determinant of diet-induced obesity. + + METHODS: FHL2-deficient (FHL2-/-) and wild type male mice were fed a high-fat diet. Metabolic phenotyping of these mice, as well as transcriptional analysis of key metabolic tissues was performed. Correlation of the expression of FHL2 and relevant genes was assessed in datasets from white adipose tissue of individuals with and without obesity. + + RESULTS: FHL2 Deficiency protects mice from high-fat diet-induced weight gain, whereas glucose handling is normal. We observed enhanced energy expenditure, which may be explained by a combination of changes in multiple tissues; mild activation of brown adipose tissue with increased fatty acid uptake, increased cardiac glucose uptake and browning of white adipose tissue. Corroborating our findings in mice, expression of FHL2 in human white adipose tissue positively correlates with obesity and negatively with expression of browning-associated genes. + + CONCLUSION: Our results position FHL2 as a novel regulator of obesity and energy expenditure in mice and human. Given that FHL2 expression increases during aging, we now show that low FHL2 expression associates with a healthy metabolic state. Copyright © 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.

We investigated the gut microbiota of overweight and obese women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) against matched euglycaemic women at 16 and 28-weeks' gestation. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: This study included women from the SPRING (Study of PRobiotics IN Gestational diabetes) cohort. Overweight and obese women with no impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasted glucose were enrolled prior to gestational age <16 weeks. Participants with a diagnosis of GDM (n = 29) were matched with euglycaemic (n = 29) women for body mass index, probiotic or placebo intervention, maternal age, parity and ethnicity. Anthropometric, clinical and fecal microbiota (16S rRNA amplicon-based sequencing of V6-V8 region) data was assessed at 16 and 28-weeks' gestation. The relative abundances of key bacterial genera were not significantly altered between euglycaemic women and women with GDM. Occurrence of bacterial taxa was similar between groups at both timepoints. GDM was associated with decreased Shannon diversity (p = 0.02) without differentiated clustering measured by beta diversity at 28-weeks' gestation. + + CONCLUSIONS: Overweight and obese women with GDM demonstrate minor variation in the gut microbiota at 16 and 28-weeks' gestation compared with matched euglycaemic women. This study expands on previous literature concluding the microbiota does not likely have a disease-specific characterisation in GDM. Copyright © 2021.

Three five-pass 24-h dietary recalls were performed for each participant and mean evening meal time was determined for each participant individually as well as the group. Participants were divided into those who ate before (Group I) and after (Group II) the mean time of evening meal, 7:25 PM. Peak VO2 and exercise time were significantly greater in Group II compared to Group I, moreover, delaying time of evening meal was associated with greater peak VO2. + + CONCLUSION: Caloric intake after the mean time of evening meal was associated with better CRF in patients with HFpEF and concomitant obesity. Later nutrient intake may help prevent fasting related stress associated with cardiac metabolic disturbances present in HFpEF. Based on these findings, prospective trials aimed at examining the effects of later evening meal times in patients with HFpEF and obesity are warranted.

Secondary outcomes were acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT), thrombotic events, and seven blood markers of inflammation and thrombosis. Unadjusted and multivariable-adjusted models were used. + + RESULTS: Among the 4,908 study patients, mean (SD) age was 60.9 (14.7) years, 3,095 (62.8%) were male, and 2,552 (52.0%) had obesity. In multivariable models, BMI was not associated with mortality. Higher BMI beginning at 25 kg/m2 was associated with a greater risk of ARDS and AKI-RRT but not thrombosis. There was no clinically significant association between BMI and inflammatory or thrombotic markers. + + CONCLUSIONS: In critically ill patients with COVID-19, higher BMI was not associated with death or thrombotic events but was associated with a greater risk of ARDS and AKI-RRT. The lack of an association between BMI and circulating biomarkers calls into question the paradigm that obesity contributes to poor outcomes in critically ill patients with COVID-19 by upregulating systemic inflammatory and prothrombotic pathways.

However, the sequence and timing of events regarding metabolic improvement and inflammation resolution has been rarely explored. Furthermore, data on inflammatory markers of Th17 and Th1 cell responses after bariatric surgery is scarce. We conducted a prospective study in subjects with obesity that underwent bariatric and metabolic surgery, with follow-ups at 3 and 6 months. Anthropometric and metabolic markers such as insulin levels, HOMA-IR, and lipid parameters declined significantly 3 months after surgery; while hs-CRP, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-8 serum concentrations decreased 6 months after the procedure. Concentrations of Th1 signature and driver cytokines, particularly IFN-gamma, IL-12, and IL-18, and of Th17 driver IL-23 also decreased significantly after 6 months. Significant positive correlations between triglyceride levels and hs-CRP, IL-1beta, and IFN-gamma concentrations, and between Apo B and IFN-gamma levels were observed 6 months after bariatric and metabolic surgery. In addition, BMI was associated with hs-CRP and TNF-alpha concentrations. Fat mass correlated with hs-CRP, TNF-alpha, and IL-12. Analysis of the temporality of metabolic and inflammatory events suggests that improvement in the metabolic status occurs before resolution of systemic inflammation and may be a requisite for the later event. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Aim of this study was to analyze the RAAS in severely obese subjects, in relation to anthropometric and metabolic variables, with special reference to glucose tolerance. + + METHODS: 239 subjects were evaluated at baseline, and 181 one year after bariatric surgery [laparoscopic gastric banding (LAGB)]. + + RESULTS: At baseline, renin (plasma renin activity, PRA) was increased from normal to glucose tolerance and more in diabetes, also correlating with ferritin. After LAGB, the decrease of PRA and aldosterone was significant in hypertensive, but not in normotensive subjects, and correlatied with decrease of ferritin. PRA and glucose levels were predictive of persistent hypertension 1 year after LAGB. + + CONCLUSIONS: These data support the role of RAAS in the pathophysiology of glucose homeostasis, and in the regulation of blood pressure in obesity. Ferritin, as a proxy of subclinical inflammation, could be another factor contributing to the cross-talk between RAAS and glucose metabolism. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose).

This study aimed to determine the effects of apples, rich in anti-inflammatory polyphenols, on biomarkers of postprandial inflammation in individuals with overweight and obesity. A randomized, crossover trial was conducted with n = 26 participants (17 female/9 male; mean age 45.5 +/- 3.12 years; mean BMI 34.1 +/- 1.18 kg m-2) to assess the effects of 3 whole Gala apples (~200 g) on the 2, 4 and 6 h postprandial response to a high fat meal providing 1 g fat per kg body weight. Changes in plasma biomarkers of inflammation (as the primary outcome) and endotoxin exposure, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were measured. Fasting (0 h) and 4 h peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were also isolated from whole blood and stimulated with or without a physiological dose (10 ng mL-1) of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to measure secreted cytokines. Apples modulated postprandial plasma IFN-gamma and reduced its peak concentration (-12.8%), and increased both 4 h (14.4%) and peak (10.5%) TAC (P < 0.05). In unstimulated and LPS-stimulated PBMC, apples reduced secreted IL-6 (-49.3% and -17.1%) and TNF-alpha (-43.3% and -14.7%) and increased IL-4 (93.1% and 15.8%) in both the unstimulated and LPS-stimulated conditions, as well as decreased GM-CSF (-26.0%) and IL-17 (-47.9%) in unstimulated PBMC and G-CSF (-19.8%) in LPS-stimulated PBMC (P < 0.05). These data suggest acute whole Gala apple consumption may be an effective dietary strategy to mitigate high fat meal-induced postprandial inflammation that exacerbates CVD risk in overweight and obesity.

Moreover, previous studies have shown that specific foods and diets can affect their cell levels. Herein, we investigated the effects of pequi oil (PO), which is high in several bioactive compounds, on intestinal nutrient transporter levels as well as on intestinal morphology and metabolic biomarkers. + + MAIN METHODS: Groups of male C57BL/6 mice were fed either a standard (C) or a high-fat diet (HFD) and pequi oil (CP and HFDP with PO by gavage at 150 mg/day) for eight weeks. Food intake and body weight were monitored, serum metabolic biomarkers, intestinal transporter levels and histological analyses were performed. + + KEY FINDINGS: PO increased caloric intake without increasing body or fat mass regardless of diet. The HFD group treated with PO reduced fasting blood glucose and villus width. PO did not affect GLUT2, L-FABP, FATP4, NPC1L1, NHE3 or PEPT1 content in CP or HFDP groups. GLUT5 and FAT/CD36 levels were reduced in both CP and HFDP. + + SIGNIFICANCE: Our data suggest that PO attenuated monosaccharide and fatty acid absorption, contributing to lower fasting glycemia and higher food intake without affecting body weight or visceral fat of high-fat feed mice.

In healthy individuals, white adipose tissue (WAT) has a relevant homeostatic role in glucose metabolism, energy storage, and endocrine signaling. Mast cells contribute to these functions promoting WAT angiogenesis and adipogenesis. In patients with T2D, inflammation dramatically impacts WAT functioning, which results in the recruitment of several leukocytes, including monocytes, that enhance this inflammation. Accordingly, the macrophages population rises as the WAT inflammation increases during the T2D status worsening. Since mast cell progenitors cannot arrive at WAT, the amount of WAT mast cells depends on how the new microenvironment affects progenitor and differentiated mast cells. Here, we employed a flow cytometry-based approach to analyze the number of mast cells from omental white adipose tissue (o-WAT) and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (s-WAT) in a cohort of 100 patients with obesity. Additionally, we measured the number of mast cell progenitors in a subcohort of 15 patients. The cohort was divided in three groups: non-T2D, pre-T2D, and T2D. Importantly, patients with T2D have a mild condition (HbA1c <7%). The number of mast cells and mast cell progenitors was lower in patients with T2D in both o-WAT and s-WAT in comparison to subjects from the pre-T2D and non-T2D groups. In the case of mast cells in o-WAT, there were statistically significant differences between non-T2D and T2D groups (p = 0.0031), together with pre-T2D and T2D groups (p=0.0097). However, in s-WAT, the differences are only between non-T2D and T2D groups (p=0.047). These differences have been obtained with patients with a mild T2D condition. Therefore, little changes in T2D status have a huge impact on the number of mast cells in WAT, especially in o-WAT. Due to the importance of mast cells in WAT physiology, their decrease can reduce the capacity of WAT, especially o-WAT, to store lipids and cause hypoxic cell deaths that will trigger inflammation.

In epicardial obesity (EO), the main cause of fibrosis development is lipotoxic myocardial damage. It is important to detect myocardial fibrosis at an early stage, using non-invasive diagnostic methods. According to the results of echocardiography (ECG), 110 men with general obesity were divided into the following two groups: Group I with epicardial fat thickness (tEAT) >= 7 mm (n = 70) and Group II with tEAT < 7 mm (n = 40) without diastolic dysfunction. The levels of metabolic factors, pro-inflammatory cytokines, adipokines, and free fatty acids (FFA), profibrotic markers were determined in both groups. In Group I, the level of interleukin (IL)-6, C-reactive protein, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha increased and that of leptin and adiponectin decreased compared with those in Group II. There was an increase in the level of all studied profibrotic factors in Group I. The level of TNF-alpha and IL-6 showed a positive correlation with the level of leptin and FFA and a negative correlation with the level of adiponectin. We also observed a relationship between the level of collagen, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, and metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and EO. Our results showed that confirmed EO correlates with not only disadipocytosis and increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, but also increased levels of profibrotic factors. This suggests that the studied markers of fibrosis may be used to determine preclinical cardiac fibrosis with lipotoxic myocardial damage in patients with EO. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Neurotransmitter Agents). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim of this study is to discover the adipocyte genes and pathways involved in obesity and type 2 diabetes using bioinformatics analysis. Methods The GSE27951 gene expression profile was obtained. Software and online tools (STRING, Cytoscape, BioGPS, CTD, and FunRich) were used to identify core genes.21 human subcutaneous adipose samples, with 10 from type 2 diabetic patients and 11 from normal controls, were included in these analyses. Results 184 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including 42 up-regulated genes and 142 down-regulated genes were found to be enriched in metabolism, receptor activity, collagen type IV and glutamine biosynthesis I pathway by using the enrichment analysis. Seven hub genes were identified from the PPI network using various software (Cytoscape, STRING, BioGPS, and CTD). Four core genes (COL4A2, ACACB, GLUL, and CD36) were found to be highly expressed in subcutaneous adipose tissue of obese patients accompanying type 2 diabetes. Conclusion COL4A2, ACACB, GLUL and CD36 might be the core molecular biomarkers of obesity in patients with or without type 2 diabetes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (CD36 Antigens). 0 (COL4A2 protein, human). 0 (Collagen Type IV).

Four biomarkers that might serve this purpose are "by products" of clinical NMR LipoProfile R lipid testing: LPIR (Lipoprotein Insulin Resistance Index), GlycA (inflammation marker), BCAA (total branched-chain amino acids), and glycine. All are strongly related to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in adults (glycine inversely) and are independent of biological and methodological variations in insulin assays. However, their clinical utility in youth is unclear. We compared fasting levels of these biomarkers in 186 youth (42 lean normal glucose tolerant (NGT), 88 obese NGT, 23 with prediabetes (PreDM), and 33 with T2DM. All four biomarkers were associated with obesity and glycemia in youth. LPIR and GlycA were highest in youth with PreDM and T2DM, whereas glycine was lowest in youth with T2DM. While all four were correlated with HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance), LPIR had the strongest correlation (LPIR: r = 0.6; GlycA: r = 0.4, glycine: r = -0.4, BCAA: r = 0.2, all P < 0.01). All four markers correlated with HbA1c (LPIR, GlycA, BCAA: r >= 0.3 and glycine: r = -0.3, all P < 0.001). In multi-variable regression models, LPIR, GlycA, and glycine were independently associated with HOMA-IR (Adjusted R2 = 0.473, P < 0.001) and LPIR, glycine, and BCAA were independently associated with HbA1c (Adjusted R2 = 0.33, P < 0.001). An LPIR index of >44 was associated with elevated blood pressure, BMI, and dyslipidemia. Plasma NMR-derived markers were related to adverse markers of cardiometabolic risk in youth. LPIR, either alone or in combination with GlycA, should be explored as a non-insulin dependent predictive tool for development of insulin resistance and diabetes in youth. + + Clinical Trial Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT:02960659.

The basic disease diagnoses were recorded. A questionnaire was performed on all participants to assess the demographic details of the RA cohort. Moreover, laboratory indicators related to glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with RA were also detected. The potential risk factors for MetS were also analyzed. + + RESULTS: The prevalence of MetS were 31.2% and 34.2% in case and control groups, respectively (P = .22). There were lower levels of HDL-C, obesity, TG, LDL-C and TC in case group than control group (all P < .05). The hypertension levels in healthy controls was decreased in compared with patients with RA (P < .05). Nevertheless, in patients with RA, complement 3 (OR: 1.02; 95% CI: 1.01-1.03, P = .007) and less glucocorticoids use (OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.39-0.99, P = .046) were associated with MetS. + + CONCLUSION: The prevalence of MetS was not associated with RA. Complement 3 may be associated with the higher prevalence of MetS in patients with RA. Glucocorticoids treatment may be associated with MetS.

While clinical evidence points to clear associations between various metabolic factors and atopic disease, there is still a very limited understanding of the mechanisms that link the two. Dysregulation of central metabolism in metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia has a systemic impact on multiple tissues and organs, including cells of the epithelial barrier. While much of epithelial research in allergy has focused on the immune-driven processes, a growing number of recent studies have begun to elucidate the role of metabolic components of disease. This review will revisit clinical evidence for the relationship between metabolic and allergic diseases, as well as discuss potential mechanisms driving metabolic dysfunction of the epithelial barrier. Among them, novel studies highlight links between dysregulation of the insulin pathway, glucose metabolism, and loss of epithelial differentiation in asthma. Studies of mitochondrial structure and bioenergetics in lean and obese asthmatic phenotypes recently came to light to provide a novel framework linking changes in tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation with arginine metabolism and nitric oxide bioavailability. New research established connections between arachidonate metabolism, autophagy, and airway disease, as well as systemic dyslipidemia in atopic dermatitis and ceramide changes in the epidermis. Taken together, studies of metabolism have a great potential to open doors to a new class of therapeutic strategies, better characterization of disease endotypes, as well as enable a systems biology approach to mechanisms of allergic disease.

In this study, the VAT exometabolome of subjects with obesity and different glycemic statuses are analyzed. The subjects (n = 19) are divided into groups according to body mass index and glycemic status: subjects with obesity and euglycemia (Ob+NGT, n = 5), subjects with obesity and pre-diabetes (Ob+Pre-T2D, n = 5), subjects with obesity and type 2 diabetes under metformin treatment (Ob+T2D, n = 5) and subjects without obesity and with euglycemia (Non-Ob, n = 4), used as controls. VATs are incubated in culture media and extracellular metabolite content is determined by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). Glucose consumption is not different between the groups. Pyruvate and pyroglutamate consumption are significantly lower in all groups of subjects with obesity compared to Non-Ob, and significantly lower in Ob+Pre-T2D as compared to Ob+NGT. In contrast, isoleucine consumption is significantly higher in all groups of subjects with obesity, particularly in Ob+Pre-T2D, compared to Non-Ob. Acetate production is also significantly lower in Ob+Pre-T2D compared to Non-Ob. In sum, the VAT metabolic fingerprint is associated with pre-diabetes and characterized by higher isoleucine consumption, accompanied by lower acetate production and pyruvate and pyroglutamate consumption. We propose that glucose metabolism follows different fates within the VAT, depending on the individuals' health status. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fijms22115695 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Morais&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Visceral+Adipose+Tissue+Displays+Unique+Metabolomic+Fingerprints+in+Obesity%2C+Pre-Diabetes+and+Type+2+Diabetes.&volume=22&issue=11&spage=5695&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fijms22115695&pmid=34071774&sid=OVID:medline + +<840> +Unique Identifier + 34069449 +Title + Effects of Feeding Time on Markers of Muscle Metabolic Flexibility Following Acute Aerobic Exercise in Trained Mice Undergoing Time Restricted Feeding. +Source + Nutrients. 13(5), 2021 May 19. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Persinger A; Butawan M; Faietti M; Pryke A; Rose K; van der Merwe M; Bloomer RJ; Puppa MJ +Author NameID + van der Merwe, Marie; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5683-4790 +Authors Full Name + Persinger, Aaron; Butawan, Matthew; Faietti, Martina; Pryke, Ashley; Rose, Kyley; van der Merwe, Marie; Bloomer, Richard J; Puppa, Melissa J. +Institution + Persinger, Aaron.

The purpose of this study was to determine if the timing of feeding/fasting after exercise training differently affects muscle metabolic flexibility and response to an acute bout of exercise. Male C57BL/6 mice were randomized to one of three groups for 8 weeks. The control had ad libitum access to food before and after exercise training. TRF-immediate had immediate access to food for 6 h following exercise training and the TRF-delayed group had access to food 5-h post exercise for 6 h. The timing of fasting did not impact performance in a run to fatigue despite TRF groups having lower hindlimb muscle mass. TRF-delayed had lower levels of muscle HSL mRNA expression and lower levels of PGC-1alpha expression but displayed no changes in electron transport chain enzymes. These results suggest that in young populations consuming a healthy diet and exercising, the timing of fasting may not substantially impact metabolic flexibility and running performance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Coactivator 1-alpha). 0 (Ppargc1a protein, mouse). 0 (RNA, Messenger). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fnu13051717 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Persinger&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Effects+of+Feeding+Time+on+Markers+of+Muscle+Metabolic+Flexibility+Following+Acute+Aerobic+Exercise+in+Trained+Mice+Undergoing+Time+Restricted+Feeding.&volume=13&issue=5&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13051717&pmid=34069449&sid=OVID:medline + +<841> +Unique Identifier + 34067683 +Title + Circulating Soluble ACE2 and Upstream microRNA Expressions in Serum of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 22(10), 2021 May 17. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Elemam NM; Hasswan H; Aljaibeji H; Sulaiman N +Author NameID + Elemam, Noha Mousaad; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3586-6731 + Aljaibeji, Hayat; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1716-0743 +Authors Full Name + Elemam, Noha Mousaad; Hasswan, Hind; Aljaibeji, Hayat; Sulaiman, Nabil. +Institution + Elemam, Noha Mousaad.

Risk factors, such as age, gender, and obesity, were associated with COVID-19 infection. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is known to use several host receptors for viral entry, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) in the lung and other organs. However, ACE2 could be shed from the surface to be soluble ACE2 (sACE2) in the circulation. The epigenetic factors affecting ACE2 expression include a type of small non-coding RNAs called microRNAs (miRNAs). In this study, we aimed at exploring the status of the sACE2 as well as serum levels of several upstream novel miRNAs as non-invasive biomarkers that might have a potential role in T2DM patients. Serum samples were collected from 50 T2DM patients and 50 healthy controls, and sACE2 levels were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Also, RNA was extracted, and TaqMan miRNA reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed to measure serum miRNA levels. Our results revealed that sACE2 is decreased in the T2DM patients and is affected by age, gender, and obesity level. Additionally, 4 miRNAs, which are revealed by in silico analysis to be potentially upstream of ACE2 were detectable in the serum. Among them, miR-421 level was found to be decreased in the serum of diabetic patients, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetic complications, as well as being differential in various body mass index (BMI) groups. The other 3 miRNAs (miR-3909, miR-212-5p, and miR-4677-3p) showed associations with multiple factors including age, gender, BMI, and serum markers, in addition to being correlated to each other. In conclusion, our study reveals a decline in the circulating serum levels of sACE2 in T2DM patients and identified 4 novel miRNAs that were associated with T2DM, which are influenced by different clinical and demographic factors. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MIRN212 microRNA, human). 0 (MIRN421 microRNA, human). 0 (MIRN46773p microRNA, human). 0 (MicroRNAs).

The aim of this study was to examine the long-term effects of fructose compared to starch from high-amylose maize starch (HiMaize) at ad libitum feeding in a juvenile Gottingen Minipig model with 20% of the diet provided as fructose as a high-risk diet (HR, n = 15) and 20% as HiMaize as a lower-risk control diet (LR, n = 15). The intake of metabolizable energy was on average similar (p = 0.11) among diets despite increased levels of the satiety hormone PYY measured in plasma (p = 0.0005) of the LR pigs. However, after over 20 weeks of ad libitum feeding, no difference between diets was observed in daily weight gain (p = 0.103), and a difference in BW was observed only at the end of the experiment. The ad libitum feeding promoted an obese phenotype over time in both groups with increased plasma levels of glucose (p = 0.005), fructosamine (p < 0.001), insulin (p = 0.03), and HOMA-IR (p = 0.02), whereas the clinical markers of dyslipidemia were unaffected. When compared to the LR diet, fructose did not accelerate the progression of MetS associated parameters and largely failed to change markers that indicate a stimulated de novo lipogenesis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 30237-26-4 (Fructose). 9005-25-8 (Starch). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fnu13051560 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Curtasu&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Obesity+Development+and+Signs+of+Metabolic+Abnormalities+in+Young+Gottingen+Minipigs+Consuming+Energy+Dense+Diets+Varying+in+Carbohydrate+Quality.&volume=13&issue=5&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13051560&pmid=34066330&sid=OVID:medline + +<843> +Unique Identifier + 34063273 +Title + Risk of Iron Overload in Obesity and Implications in Metabolic Health. +Source + Nutrients. 13(5), 2021 May 02. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Moore Heslin A; O'Donnell A; Buffini M; Nugent AP; Walton J; Flynn A; McNulty BA +Author NameID + Moore Heslin, Aoibhin; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6257-4083 + Nugent, Anne P; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0206-1320 + Walton, Janette; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4758-5328 + Flynn, Albert; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7072-4202 + McNulty, Breige A; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0841-063X +Authors Full Name + Moore Heslin, Aoibhin; O'Donnell, Aisling; Buffini, Maria; Nugent, Anne P; Walton, Janette; Flynn, Albert; McNulty, Breige A. +Institution + Moore Heslin, Aoibhin.

Increased systemic inflammation in obesity stimulates expression of the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin, which can result in a maldistribution of bodily iron, which may be implicated in metabolic dysfunction. This study aimed to investigate the effect of adiposity and any associated inflammation on iron homeostasis and the potential implications of dysregulated iron metabolism on metabolic health. Analyses are based on a subsample from the cross-sectional Irish National Adult Nutrition Survey (2008-2010) (n = 1120). Ferritin status and risk of iron overload were determined based on established WHO ferritin ranges. Participants were classed as having a healthy % body fat or as having overfat or obesity based on age- and gender-specific % body fat ranges as determined by bioelectrical impedance. Biomarkers of iron status were examined in association with measures of body composition, serum adipocytokines and markers of metabolic health. Excessive % body fat was significantly associated with increased serum hepcidin and ferritin and an increased prevalence of severe risk of iron overload amongst males independent of dietary iron intake. Elevated serum ferritin displayed significant positive associations with serum triglycerides and markers of glucose metabolism, with an increased but non-significant presentation of metabolic risk factors amongst participants with overfat and obesity at severe risk of iron overload. Increased adiposity is associated with dysregulations in iron homeostasis, presenting as increased serum hepcidin, elevated serum ferritin and an increased risk of iron overload, with potential implications in impairments in metabolic health. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Hepcidins). 0 (Triglycerides). 9007-73-2 (Ferritins). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fnu13051539 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Moore+Heslin&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Risk+of+Iron+Overload+in+Obesity+and+Implications+in+Metabolic+Health.&volume=13&issue=5&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13051539&pmid=34063273&sid=OVID:medline + +<844> +Unique Identifier + 34062281 +Title + Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and HCC in a Hyperphagic Mouse Accelerated by Western Diet. +Source + Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology. 12(3):891-920, 2021. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ganguly S; Muench GA; Shang L; Rosenthal SB; Rahman G; Wang R; Wang Y; Kwon HC; Diomino AM; Kisseleva T; Soorosh P; Hosseini M; Knight R; Schnabl B; Brenner DA; Dhar D +Authors Full Name + Ganguly, Souradipta; Muench, German Aleman; Shang, Linshan; Rosenthal, Sara Brin; Rahman, Gibraan; Wang, Ruoyu; Wang, Yanhan; Kwon, Hyeok Choon; Diomino, Anthony M; Kisseleva, Tatiana; Soorosh, Pejman; Hosseini, Mojgan; Knight, Rob; Schnabl, Bernd; Brenner, David A; Dhar, Debanjan. +Institution + Ganguly, Souradipta.

NASH progression entails diverse pathogenic mechanisms and relies on complex cross-talk between multiple tissues such as the gut, adipose tissues, liver, and the brain. Using a hyperphagic mouse fed with a Western diet (WD), we aimed to elucidate the cross-talk and kinetics of hepatic and extrahepatic alterations during NASH-HCC progression, as well as regression. + + METHODS: Hyperphagic mice lacking a functional Alms1 gene (Foz/Foz) and wild-type littermates were fed WD or standard chow for 12 weeks for NASH/fibrosis and for 24 weeks for HCC development. NASH regression was modeled by switching back to normal chow after NASH development. + + RESULTS: Foz+WD mice were steatotic within 1 to 2 weeks, developed NASH by 4 weeks, and grade 3 fibrosis by 12 weeks, accompanied by chronic kidney injury. Foz+WD mice that continued on WD progressed to cirrhosis and HCC within 24 weeks and had reduced survival as a result of cardiac dysfunction. However, NASH mice that were switched to normal chow showed NASH regression, improved survival, and did not develop HCC. Transcriptomic and histologic analyses of Foz/Foz NASH liver showed strong concordance with human NASH. NASH was preceded by an early disruption of gut barrier, microbial dysbiosis, lipopolysaccharide leakage, and intestinal inflammation. This led to acute-phase liver inflammation in Foz+WD mice, characterized by neutrophil infiltration and increased levels of several chemokines/cytokines. The liver cytokine/chemokine profile evolved as NASH progressed, with subsequent predominance by monocyte recruitment. + + CONCLUSIONS: The Foz+WD model closely mimics the pathobiology and gene signature of human NASH with fibrosis and subsequent HCC. Foz+WD mice provide a robust and relevant preclinical model of NASH, NASH-associated HCC, chronic kidney injury, and heart failure. Copyright © 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.

In the current study, pancreatic beta-cell benefits of combined GLP-1 and CCK1 receptor upregulation were established, before characterising bioactivity and antidiabetic efficacy of an acylated dual-acting GLP-1/CCK hybrid peptide, namely [Lys12Pal]Ex-4/CCK. Both exendin-4 and CCK exhibited (p<0.001) proliferative and anti-apoptotic effects in BRIN BD11 beta-cells. Proliferative benefits were significantly (p<0.01) augmented by combined peptide treatment when compared to either parent peptide alone. These effects were linked to increases (p<0.001) in GLUT2 and glucokinase beta-cell gene expression, with decreased (p<0.05-p<0.001) expression of NFkappaB and BAX. [Lys12Pal]Ex-4/CCK exhibited prominent insulinotropic actions in vitro, coupled with beneficial (p<0.001) satiety and glucose homeostatic effects in the mice, with bioactivity evident 24 h after administration. Following twice daily injection of [Lys12Pal]Ex-4/CCK for 28 days in diabetic high fat fed (HFF) mice with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced compromised beta-cells, there were clear reductions (p<0.05-p<0.001) in energy intake and body weight. Circulating glucose was returned to lean control concentrations, with associated increases (p<0.001) in plasma and pancreatic insulin levels. Glucose tolerance and insulin secretory responsiveness were significantly (p<0.05-p<0.001) improved by hybrid peptide therapy. In keeping with this, evaluation of pancreatic histology revealed restoration of normal islet alpha- to beta-cell ratios and reduction (p<0.01) in centralised islet glucagon staining. Improvements in pancreatic islet morphology were associated with increased (p<0.05) proliferation and reduced (p<0.001) apoptosis of beta-cells. Together, these data highlight the effectiveness of sustained dual GLP-1 and CCK1 receptor activation by [Lys12Pal]Ex-4/CCK for the treatment of obesity-related diabetes.

All participants completed a survey which included health and lifestyle questionnaires, and underwent physical examination, ultrasonography, and laboratory examinations of blood samples. After the four-year follow up, 5,104 (30.31%) participants were diagnosed with NAFLD. The associations between SUA, BMI or obesity, and incident NAFLD were assessed by multivariate linear regression, logistic regression analysis, and mediation analysis, respectively. + + Results: By adjusting demographic and serum characteristics, linear correlation coefficients between obesity and SUA were 20.26 [95% confidence interval (CI)]: 15.74, 24.77), 13.31 (95% CI: 6.63, 19.99) and 22.21 (95% CI: 16.41, 28.02) in the total population, and in the female and male groups, respectively. The odds ratios were 2.49 (95% CI: 1.61, 3.87) in the total population, 5.71 (95% CI: 2.25, 14.45) in the female group and 1.99 (95% CI: 1.15, 3.45) in the male group for the correlation between obesity and incident NAFLD. The mediation analysis showed that SUA contributed to 10.03%, 0.58%, and 12.54% of obesity-related NAFLD development in the total population, females and males, respectively. + + Conclusion: The findings showed mediation linkages of both obesity and SUA with the incident NAFLD. The role of SUA as a mediator constitutes clinical significance that should be recognized and considered.

This study investigates changes in systemic and tissue-specific markers of IR and inflammation after gastric bypass surgery (GBS) in subjects with obesity. + + METHODS: Prospective study, twenty subjects with obesity (50 +/- 10 years, 14 men). Prior to, and six months and one year after GBS, subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (SAT), skeletal muscle and fasting serum samples were collected. Serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), glucose and insulin were determined using standard laboratory assays and serum IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-alpha levels were determined using ELISA. Tissue mRNA expression of inflammation and insulin/glucose metabolism markers were analyzed using qPCR. + + RESULTS: After GBS, HOMA-IR, CRP and IL-6 serum levels decreased. In SAT, expression of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4), IL-6, IL-10 and MCP1 decreased and GLUT4 increased (all p < 0.05). In muscle, expression of BMP4, GLUT4 and IL-6 decreased and of MCP1 and IRS-1 increased (all p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSION: Systemic improvements in inflammation and IR after GBS are only partially mirrored by corresponding changes in adipokine and myokine expression patterns. As changes in expression of other markers of inflammation and insulin/glucose metabolism appear less consistent and even divergent between tissues, the inflammatory and IR status at systemic level cannot be extrapolated to the situation in metabolically active tissues.

While weight loss interventions are efficacious, they are compounded by heterogeneity with regards to clinically relevant metabolic responses. Thus, we sought to identify metabolic biomarkers that are associated with beneficial metabolic changes to weight loss and which distinguish individuals with obesity who would most benefit from a given type of intervention. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry-based profiling was used to measure 765 metabolites in baseline plasma from three different weight loss studies: WLM (behavioral intervention, N = 443), STRRIDE-PD (exercise intervention, N = 163), and CBD (surgical cohort, N = 125). The primary outcome was percent change in insulin resistance (as measured by the Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance [%DELTAHOMA-IR]) over the intervention. Overall, 92 individual metabolites were associated with %DELTAHOMA-IR after adjustment for multiple comparisons. Concordantly, the most significant metabolites were triacylglycerols (TAGs; p = 2.3e-5) and diacylglycerols (DAGs; p = 1.6e-4), with higher baseline TAG and DAG levels associated with a greater improvement in insulin resistance with weight loss. In tests of heterogeneity, 50 metabolites changed differently between weight loss interventions; we found amino acids, peptides, and their analogues to be most significant (4.7e-3) in this category. Our results highlight novel metabolic pathways associated with heterogeneity in response to weight loss interventions, and related biomarkers which could be used in future studies of personalized approaches to weight loss interventions. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Diglycerides). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

High-dimensional flow cytometric characterization of immune cell subsets was performed at admission, 30 systemic cytokines/chemokines levels were sequentially measured, thirteen endothelial markers were determined at admission and at the zenith of the cytokines. Computed tomography scans on admission were quantified for lung damage and hepatic steatosis (n = 23). Abnormal BMI (> 25) observed in 72.6% of patients, was associated with a higher rate of intensive care unit hospitalization (p = 0.044). SARS-CoV-2 RNAaemia, peripheral immune cell subsets and cytokines/chemokines were similar among BMI groups. A significant association between inflammatory cytokines and liver, renal, and endothelial dysfunctions was observed only in patients with obesity (BMI > 30). In contrast, early signs of lung damage (ground-glass opacity) correlated with Th1/M1/inflammatory cytokines only in normal weight patients. Later lesions of pulmonary consolidation correlated with BMI but were independent of cytokine levels. Our study reveals distinct physiopathological mechanisms associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with obesity that may have important clinical implications. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Chemokines). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (RNA, Viral). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We investigated the combined effect of central obesity, a surrogate measure of visceral fat and HIV on circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines among Kenyan adults. + + DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. + + METHODS: We analysed and compared data from 287 virally suppressed PWH and 277 noninfected Kenyan adults, including biomarkers of gut epithelial dysfunction (intestinal fatty acid binding protein), monocyte activation (soluble CD163 and CD14) and inflammation [interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha and hsCRP] by HIV/central obesity status (HIV-positive/obese, HIV-negative/obese, HIV-positive/nonobese and HIV-negative/nonobese). Central obesity was defined as waist circumference more than 80 cm for women and more than 94 cm for men. We assessed the association of HIV/obesity status with elevated biomarkers (>75th percentile) using logistic regression. + + RESULTS: Median age for participants was 44 years and 37% were centrally obese. Levels of all biomarkers were higher among the HIV-positive/obese compared with the HIV-negative/nonobese (P < 0.05 for all comparisons). The HIV-positive/obese group had the greatest odds of having elevated inflammatory biomarkers compared with other groups even after adjustment of age, BMI and other conventional CVD risk factors (P < 0.05 for all). Additional adjustment for sCD163 in the multivariate model substantially attenuated the association for HIV-positive/obesity with IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha but not hsCRP. The contribution of HIV-positive/obesity to inflammation was independent of the degree of immunosuppression. + + CONCLUSION: Central obesity is prevalent among virally suppressed African PWH and is associated with greater inflammation and monocyte activation independent of other comorbidities and HIV-specific factors.

The aim of this study was to investigate the regulation of EA on macrophage polarization in obesity tissue of diet-induced obesity mice. Mice were divided in 6 groups: normal control group, model group, EA-7 group, EA-14 group, EA-21 group and EA-28 group. Low-frequency EA was applied at "Tianshu (ST 25)", "Guanyuan (CV 4)", "Zusanli (ST 36)" and "Sanyinjiao (SP 6)" for 10 min. Adipose tissue was assessed with hematoxylin and eosin staining. Adipocytokines and pro-inflammatory factors expression was measured by ELISA. The protein and mRNA levels of macrophage markers were examined by immumohistochemical staining and RT-PCR, respectively. EA treatment was associated with a decrease of adipose tissue and large adipocytes, and an increase of small adipocytes. After EA treatment, the levels of Leptin, Chemerin, TNF-alpha, F4/80, iNOS, and CD11c decreased obviously in adipose tissue, while IL-4, IL-10 and CD206 levels increased significantly. Besides, TNF-alpha in spleen tissue was also downregulated, but IL-4 and IL-10 were upregulated. EA prevents weight gain through modulation inflammatory response and macrophage polarization in obese adipose tissues. Copyright © 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS..

Evidence has accumulated that this risk is related to intrinsic differences in behavior of adipocytes in different fat depots. We recently identified LIM domain only 3 (LMO3) in human mature visceral adipocytes; however, its function in these cells is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the potential involvement of LMO3-dependent pathways in the modulation of key functions of mature adipocytes during obesity. Based on a recently engineered hybrid rAAV serotype Rec2 shown to efficiently transduce both brown adipose tissue (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT), we delivered YFP or Lmo3 to epididymal WAT (eWAT) of C57Bl6/J mice on a high-fat diet (HFD). The effects of eWAT transduction on metabolic parameters were evaluated 10 weeks later. To further define the role of LMO3 in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, insulin signaling, adipocyte bioenergetics, as well as endocrine function, experiments were conducted in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and newly differentiated human primary mature adipocytes, engineered for transient gain or loss of LMO3 expression, respectively. AAV transduction of eWAT results in strong and stable Lmo3 expression specifically in the adipocyte fraction over a course of 10 weeks with HFD feeding. LMO3 expression in eWAT significantly improved insulin sensitivity and healthy visceral adipose tissue expansion in diet-induced obesity, paralleled by increased serum adiponectin. In vitro, LMO3 expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes increased PPARgamma transcriptional activity, insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake, as well as mitochondrial oxidative capacity in addition to fatty acid oxidation. Mechanistically, LMO3 induced the PPARgamma coregulator Ncoa1, which was required for LMO3 to enhance glucose uptake and mitochondrial oxidative gene expression. In human mature adipocytes, LMO3 overexpression promoted, while silencing of LMO3 suppressed mitochondrial oxidative capacity. LMO3 expression in visceral adipose tissue regulates multiple genes that preserve adipose tissue functionality during obesity, such as glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial function, and adiponectin secretion. Together with increased PPARgamma activity and Ncoa1 expression, these gene expression changes promote insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation, glucose uptake in addition to increased mitochondrial oxidative capacity, limiting HFD-induced adipose dysfunction. These data add LMO3 as a novel regulator improving visceral adipose tissue function during obesity. KEY MESSAGES: LMO3 increases beneficial visceral adipose tissue expansion and insulin sensitivity in vivo. LMO3 increases glucose uptake and oxidative mitochondrial activity in adipocytes. LMO3 increases nuclear coactivator 1 (Ncoa1). LMO3-enhanced glucose uptake and mitochondrial gene expression requires Ncoa1. Copyright © 2021.

Zbtb7c expression is increased in the liver and white adipose tissues of aging or high-fat diet-fed mice. Knockout or knockdown of Zbtb7c gene expression inhibits the adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells and decreases adipose tissue mass in aging mice. We found that Zbtb7c was a potent transcriptional repressor of SIRT1 and that SIRT1 was derepressed in various tissues of Zbtb7c-KO mice. Mechanistically, Zbtb7c interacted with p53 and bound to the proximal promoter p53RE1 and p53RE2 to repress the SIRT1 gene, in which p53RE2 was particularly critical. Zbtb7c induced p53 to interact with the corepressor mSin3A-HADC1 complex at p53RE. By repressing the SIRT1 gene, Zbtb7c increased the acetylation of Pgc-1alpha and Ppargamma, which resulted in repression or activation of Pgc-1alpha or Ppargamma target genes involved in lipid metabolism. Our study provides a molecular target that can overexpress SIRT1 protein in the liver, pancreas, and adipose tissues, which can be beneficial in the treatment of diabetes, obesity, longevity, etc. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Intracellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins). 0 (Oncogene Proteins). 0 (Transcription Factors). 0 (Trp53 protein, mouse). 0 (Tumor Suppressor Protein p53).

However, the effect of immunomodulatory drugs on transplant-related outcomes among obese patients are unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the impact of rapamycin on allograft rejection and alloimmune response in a murine model of diet-induced obesity and fully-mismatched skin transplantation. Rapamycin significantly delayed allograft rejection in obese recipient mice compared to treated lean mice (14.5 days vs. 10.7 days, p = 0.005). Treatment with rapamycin increased frequencies of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs), augmented the immunosuppressive activity of M-MDSCs on T cells through indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase pathway and shifted CD4+T cells towards regulatory T cells in obese graft recipients. In summary, our results demonstrate that rapamycin delays allograft rejection in obese graft recipients by enhancing suppressive immune cell function and shifting immune cell subsets towards anti-inflammatory conditions.

After quality assessment, eligible studies were synthesized for relevant outcomes, including lumbar spine bone mineral density (L-spine BMD) change, total hip BMD change, osteocalcin level, C-terminal telopeptide level, and parathyroid hormone level. + + RESULTS: Three randomized clinical trials and 2 observational studies concerning 307 total obese T2DM patients were included. Follow-up ranged from 12 to 60 months. Patients underwent RYGB surgery were associated with both higher L-spine BMD loss (mean difference: -2.90, 95% CI: -2.99~-2.81, P < .00001) and total hip BMD loss (mean difference: -5.81, 95% CI: -9.22~-2.40, P = .0008). As to biochemical markers of bone metabolism, we found significantly higher osteocalcin level in medical treatment (control) group compared with RYGB group (mean difference: 11.16, 95% CI: 8.57-13.75, P < .00001). However, higher C-terminal telopeptide level and parathyroid hormone level were noted in medical treatment group (control) compared with RYGB group (mean difference: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.11-0.48, P = .002; mean difference: 1.56, 95% CI: 0.84-2.27, P < .0001). + + CONCLUSIONS: RYGB surgery is associated with negative impact on bone metabolism and increase the risk of osteoporosis in obese patients with T2DM. We suggest that clinicians acknowledge the adverse effects of surgery and keep monitoring bone mineral components in post-RYGB populations. Further studies regarding the optimal amount of perioperative and postsurgical supplementation should be evaluated. Copyright © 2021 the Author(s).

Here, we aim to validate proposed surrogate biomarkers, which allow measuring intestinal permeability more easily. In this cross-sectional study, we included two independent cohorts comprising nonobese (Healthy cohort, n = 51) and individuals with obesity (Obesity cohort, n = 27). The lactulose/mannitol (lac/man) ratio was determined in all individuals as an established marker of intestinal permeability. Furthermore, we measured six potential surrogate biomarkers, being albumin, calprotectin, and zonulin, measured in feces, as well as intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP), lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) and zonulin, measured in plasma. Correlation analyses and multiple linear regression models were conducted to assess possible associations between the established lac/man ratio and the proposed biomarkers by also evaluating a potential effect of age, body mass index (BMI), and sex. The lac/man ratio correlated with plasma LBP levels in all cohorts consistently and with the amount of fecal zonulin in overweight and obese individuals. Multiple linear regression models showed that the association between the lac/man ratio and plasma LBP was independent of age, BMI, and sex. Fecal zonulin levels were associated with the lac/man ratio as well as BMI, but not age and sex. Our data suggest plasma LBP as a promising biomarker for intestinal permeability in adults and fecal zonulin as a potential biomarker in overweight and obese individuals. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study shows that biomarkers from blood and fecal samples are associated with the cumbersome established tests of intestinal permeability throughout different cohorts. Therefore, such biomarkers could be used to assess gut barrier function in prospective cohort studies and large-scale clinical trials for which tracer-based tests may not be feasible. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acid-Binding Proteins). 0 (Haptoglobins). 0 (Protein Precursors). 0 (zonulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We evaluated the importance of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (SAAT) inflammation and both plasma and SAAT-derived exosomes in regulating insulin sensitivity in people with obesity and NAFLD. + + METHODS: Adipose tissue inflammation (macrophage and T-cell content and expression of proinflammatory cytokines), liver and whole-body insulin sensitivity (assessed using a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and glucose tracer infusion), and 24-hour serial plasma cytokine concentrations were evaluated in 3 groups stratified by adiposity and intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content: (1) lean with normal IHTG content (LEAN; N = 14); (2) obese with normal IHTG content (OB-NL; N = 28); and (3) obese with NAFLD (OB-NAFLD; N = 28). The effect of plasma and SAAT-derived exosomes on insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation in human skeletal muscle myotubes and mouse primary hepatocytes was assessed in a subset of participants. + + RESULTS: Proinflammatory macrophages, proinflammatory CD4 and CD8 T-cell populations, and gene expression of several cytokines in SAAT were greater in the OB-NAFLD than the OB-NL and LEAN groups. However, with the exception of PAI-1, which was greater in the OB-NAFLD than the LEAN and OB-NL groups, 24-hour plasma cytokine concentration areas-under-the-curve were not different between groups. The percentage of proinflammatory macrophages and plasma PAI-1 concentration areas-under-the-curve were inversely correlated with both hepatic and whole-body insulin sensitivity. Compared with exosomes from OB-NL participants, plasma and SAAT-derived exosomes from the OB-NAFLD group decreased insulin signaling in myotubes and hepatocytes. + + CONCLUSIONS: Systemic insulin resistance in people with obesity and NAFLD is associated with increased plasma PAI-1 concentrations and both plasma and SAAT-derived exosomes.

Obese individuals have higher circulating concentrations of certain endocrine and immune factors produced by adipocytes thought to partially underlie the association between obesity and colorectal neoplasia. Thus, we evaluated the association of plasma concentrations of adiponectin, leptin, and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor-2 (sTNFR2) with CRC and adenoma. + + METHODS: We ascertained 193 CRC cases and 193 matched controls, and 131 colorectal adenoma cases and 131 matched controls who had had an endoscopy nested in the CLUE II cohort of Washington County, MD. Plasma markers were measured using ELISA. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated from conditional logistic regression for quartiles of the plasma markers separately for CRC and adenoma. + + RESULTS: Adjusting for leptin and adiponectin, sTNFR2 was positively associated with CRC only in men (Q4 vs. Q1: OR = 3.14, 95% CI 1.11-8.86), which was unchanged adjusting for BMI (3.46, 95% CI 1.19-10.06). Leptin and adiponectin were not associated with CRC risk overall or in men or women. Adiponectin, leptin, and sTNFR2 were not associated with adenoma risk overall or in men or women. + + CONCLUSION: In this study, leptin and adiponectin were not associated with colorectal carcinogenesis and thus do not appear to underlie the association between obesity and colorectal carcinogenesis. sTNFR2, which we measured as a correlate of TNF-alpha, was positively associated with CRC in men adjusting for BMI, suggesting that TNF-alpha may influence colorectal carcinogenesis independent of adipocyte production. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.1007%2fs10552-021-01441-1 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Marrone&issn=0957-5243&title=Cancer+Causes+%26+Control&atitle=Association+between+pre-diagnostic+circulating+adipokines+and+colorectal+cancer+and+adenoma+in+the+CLUE+II+cohort.&volume=32&issue=8&spage=871&epage=881&date=2021&doi=10.1007%2Fs10552-021-01441-1&pmid=33999316&sid=OVID:medline + +<859> +Unique Identifier + 33998291 +Title + Adipose tissue macrophage populations and inflammation are associated with systemic inflammation and insulin resistance in obesity. +Source + American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology & Metabolism. 321(1):E105-E121, 2021 07 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kunz HE; Hart CR; Gries KJ; Parvizi M; Laurenti M; Dalla Man C; Moore N; Zhang X; Ryan Z; Polley EC; Jensen MD; Vella A; Lanza IR +Author NameID + Dalla Man, Chiara; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4908-0596 + Jensen, Michael D; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5589-8389 + Vella, Adrian; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6493-7837 + Lanza, Ian R; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9858-3384 +Authors Full Name + Kunz, Hawley E; Hart, Corey R; Gries, Kevin J; Parvizi, Mojtaba; Laurenti, Marcello; Dalla Man, Chiara; Moore, Natalie; Zhang, Xiaoyan; Ryan, Zachary; Polley, Eric C; Jensen, Michael D; Vella, Adrian; Lanza, Ian R. +Institution + Kunz, Hawley E.

Despite growing recognition that adipose tissue dysfunction plays a role in obesity-related disorders, the relationship between adipose tissue inflammation and other pathological features of obesity is not well-understood. We assessed macrophage populations and measured the expression of inflammatory cytokines in abdominal adipose tissue biopsies in 39 nondiabetic adults across a range of body mass indexes (BMI 20.5-45.8 kg/m2). Skeletal muscle biopsies were used to evaluate mitochondrial respiratory capacity, ATP production capacity, coupling, and reactive oxygen species production. Insulin sensitivity (SI) and beta cell responsivity were determined from test meal postprandial glucose, insulin, c-peptide, and triglyceride kinetics. We examined the relationships between adipose tissue inflammatory markers, systemic inflammatory markers, SI, and skeletal muscle mitochondrial physiology. BMI was associated with increased adipose tissue and systemic inflammation, reduced SI, and reduced skeletal muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity. Adipose-resident macrophage numbers were positively associated with circulating inflammatory markers, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Local adipose tissue inflammation and circulating concentrations of TNFalpha and CRP were negatively associated with SI, and circulating concentrations of TNFalpha and CRP were also negatively associated with skeletal muscle oxidative capacity. These results demonstrate that obese humans exhibit increased adipose tissue inflammation concurrently with increased systemic inflammation, reduced insulin sensitivity, and reduced muscle oxidative capacity and suggest that adipose tissue and systemic inflammation may drive obesity-associated metabolic derangements. NEW AND NOTEWORTHY Adipose inflammation is proposed to be at the nexus of the systemic inflammation and metabolic derangements associated with obesity. The present study provides evidence to support adipose inflammation as a central feature of the pathophysiology of obesity. Adipose inflammation is associated with systemic and peripheral metabolic derangements, including increased systemic inflammation, reduced insulin sensitivity, and reduced skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The purpose of the present study was to examine potential differences in glycemic control and EE from breaking up sedentary time with short exercise bouts of different intensities. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Nine overweight/obesity young men underwent whole body indirect calorimetry at 19:00 on day 1 and stayed overnight. After awakening on day 2, they performed short duration jogging every 30 min over 8 h (16-time bouts in total) under 3 different conditions with the same running distance: (1) lactate threshold (LT) for 2 min, (2) 60% LT for 200 s, and (3) onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA) for 75 s. The 24-h EE and interstitial glucose concentration (from 8:00 to 19:00 on day 2) was continuously measured throughout the trials. The standard deviation during intervention and indexes of postprandial of the interstitial glucose concentration was significantly lower at LT and OBLA than at 60% LT (p < 0.05). The 24-h EE was not significantly different among conditions, but EE at OBLA during intervention was slightly but significantly higher than at 60% LT and LT. + + CONCLUSION: Breaking up sedentary time with short-duration jogging at LT and with OBLA intensities may have better glycemic control and increased use of carbohydrate as a fuel, while short-duration a jogging at OBLA intensity may increase EE. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: UMIN000041361.

Observational studies have repeatedly shown an inverse correlation between endometriosis and a low body mass index (BMI). However, obesity does not protect against endometriosis and on the contrary an increased BMI may lead to more severe forms of the disease. Besides, BMI is not accurate in all cases of obesity. Consequently, other anthropometric and phenomic traits have been studied, including body adiposity content, as well as the effect of BMI early in life on the manifestation of endometriosis in adulthood. Some studies have shown that the phenotypic inverse correlation between the two entities has a genetic background; however, others have indicated that certain polymorphisms are linked with endometriosis in females with increased BMI. The advent of metabolic bariatric surgery and pertinent research have led to the emergence of biomolecules that may be pivotal in understanding the pathophysiological interaction of the two entities, especially in the context of angiogenesis and inflammation. Future research should focus on three objectives: detection and interpretation of obesity-related biomarkers in experimental models with endometriosis; integration of endometriosis-related queries into bariatric registries; and multidisciplinary approach and collaboration among specialists.

Recently, novel experimental and clinical evidence emerged, which strengthens the validity of the inflammatory/profibrotic paradigm. This evidence consists among others of (1) myocardial infiltration by immunocompetent cells not only because of an obesity-induced metabolic load but also because of an arterial hypertension-induced hemodynamic load. The latter is sensed by components of the extracellular matrix like basal laminin, which also interact with cardiomyocyte titin; (2) expression in cardiomyocytes of inducible nitric oxide synthase because of circulating proinflammatory cytokines. This results in myocardial accumulation of degraded proteins because of a failing unfolded protein response; (3) definition by machine learning algorithms of phenogroups of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction with a distinct inflammatory/profibrotic signature; (4) direct coupling in mediation analysis between comorbidities, inflammatory biomarkers, and deranged myocardial structure/function with endothelial expression of adhesion molecules already apparent in early preclinical heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF stage A, B). This new evidence paves the road for future heart failure with preserved ejection fraction treatments such as biologicals directed against inflammatory cytokines, stimulation of protein ubiquitylation with phosphodiesterase 1 inhibitors, correction of titin stiffness through natriuretic peptide-particulate guanylyl cyclase-PDE9 (phosphodiesterase 9) signaling and molecular/cellular regulatory mechanisms that control myocardial fibrosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Connectin). 0 (Laminin). 0 (TTN protein, human). 9007-34-5 (Collagen).

This study aimed to determine the awareness, treatment, control, and determinants of dyslipidemia in middle-aged and older Chinese adults in China. Using data from the 2015 China National Stroke Screening and Prevention Project (CNSSPP), a nationally representative sample of 135,403 Chinese adults aged 40 years or more were included in this analysis. Dyslipidemia was defined by the Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults final report (NCEP-ATP III) and the 2016 Chinese guidelines for the management of dyslipidemia in adults. Models were constructed to adjust for subjects' characteristics with bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses. Overall, 51.1% of the subjects were women. Sixty-four percent were aware of their condition, of whom 18.9% received treatment, and of whom 7.2% had adequately controlled dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia treatment was higher in men from rural areas than their urban counterparts. The multivariable logistic regression models revealed that women, urban residents, and general obesity were positively related to awareness. Women, married respondents, and current drinkers had higher odds of treatment. Age group, overweight, general obesity, urban residence, and women were independent determinants of control. Dyslipidemia awareness rate was moderately high, but treatment and control rates were low. Results can be used to develop policies and health promotion strategies with special focus on middle-aged and older adults. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, few studies have reported the correlation between Lp-PLA2 and postpartum hemorrhage in pregnant women with GMD. + + METHODS: Clinical data was collected from 43 pregnant women with gestational diabetes combined with postpartum hemorrhage and 50 pregnant women with postpartum diabetes without postpartum bleeding during the same period. Lp-PLA2 expression levels in the serum of pregnant women in both groups were detected. The predictive value of Lp-PLA2 expression level for postpartum hemorrhage was clarified. + + RESULTS: (1) From 20w to 32w pregnancy, the serum Lp-PLA2 levels of pregnant women in both groups showed a gradual increasing trend. (2) The serum Lp-PLA2 level of the pregnant women in the research group was significantly higher (p < 0.001). (3) Binary logistic regression analysis shows that Lp-PLA2 level has a good correlation with postpartum major bleeding. (4) Comparing of Lp-PLA2 levels in different gestational weeks with respect to its efficacy for predicting postpartum hemorrhage found that the sensitivity and specificity of 24w Lp-PLA2 levels are higher than other gestational weeks, and the area under the 24w parameter curve (0.955) > 32w area under the parameter curve (0.952) > area under the 20w parameter curve (0.940) > area under the 28w parameter curve (0.887). (5) The birth weight of the newborn in the research group was significantly heavier (p < 0.001). + + CONCLUSIONS: Dynamic monitoring of the expression level of Lp-PLA2 in the serum of pregnant women can predict the risk of postpartum hemorrhage in pregnant women at an early stage and help optimize the rescue plan for postpartum hemorrhage. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Affected individuals suffer from skin blistering and report a high disease burden. In some EBS subtypes, plantar keratoderma (PK) has been described. + + OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the presence and correlation of PK with body mass index, pain and mobility in EBS. + + METHODS: Individuals (n = 157) with genetically characterized EBS were included in this retrospective cohort study, and clinical data were collected over 16 years (referral patients to the largest German EB centre). Descriptive statistics and mixed linear models were used to assess correlations. + + RESULTS: PK was found in 75.8% of patients beginning at a mean age of 4.3 years. Both focal and diffuse PK were observed, and 60% of adults with localized and severe EBS were preobese or obese, with ~30% of patients reporting severely reduced mobility. The presence of PK, especially diffuse PK, correlated significantly with local infections, obesity, pain and requirement of a wheelchair. + + CONCLUSION: Along with treating skin fragility and blistering, PK should be considered a potential marker of increased morbidity and may represent a target of EBS therapy development.

Different components of SB (sitting, lying) and PA (standing, breaks in SB, daily steps, light PA, moderate-to-vigorous PA and total PA) were measured with validated hip-worn accelerometers for four consecutive weeks (mean 25 days, [SD 4]). Fasting venous blood samples were analysed using standard assays. The associations were examined with Pearson's partial correlation coefficient test and linear mixed model. + + Results: Among 102 women and 42 men accelerometer measured SB or the elements of PA were not associated with circulating liver enzymes. When adjusted for age and sex, liver enzymes correlated positively with BMI and waist circumference (WC) (ALT r=0.34, p<0.0001, r=0.41, < 0.0001, AST r=0.17, p=0.049, r=0.26, p=0.002, GGT r=0.29, p=0.0005, r=0.32, p < 0.0001, respectively). SB proportion associated positively with BMI (r=0.21, p=0.008) and WC (r=0.27, p=0.001). Components of PA associated negatively with BMI (MVPA r=-0.23, p=0.005, daily steps r=-0.30, p<0.0001 and breaks in sedentary time r=-0.32, p<0.0001), as well as with WC (breaks in SB r=-0.35, p<0.0001, MVPA r=-0.26, p=0.002, daily steps r=-0.31, p<0.0001, standing time r=-0.27, p=0.001). Liver enzymes associated positively with common cardiometabolic markers such as resting heart rate (ALT; beta=0.17, p=0.03, AST; beta=0.25, p=0.002, GGT; beta=0.23, p=0.004) and systolic/diastolic blood pressure (ALT beta=0.20, p=0.01, beta=0.22, p=0.005, AST (only diastolic) beta=0.23, p=0.006, GGT beta=0.19, p=0.02, = 0.23, p=0.004, respectively), fasting insulin (ALT beta=0.41, p<0.0001, AST beta=0.36, p=0.0003, GGT beta=0.20, p=0.04) and insulin resistance index (ALT beta=0.42, p<0.0001, AST beta=0.36, p=0.0003, GGT beta=0.21, p=0.03), even after adjustment with BMI. + + Conclusions: Liver enzymes correlate with body adiposity and appear to cluster with other common cardiometabolic risk factors, even independently of body adiposity. SB and PA appear not to be essential in modulating the levels of circulating liver enzymes.

The biomarker PRO-C6 measuring Endotrophin, a matrikine of collagen type VI, may provide valuable information detecting subjects in need of intensified strategies for secondary prevention. + + OBJECTIVE: In this study, we evaluate endotrophin in human atherosclerotic plaques and circulating levels of PRO-C6 in patients with atherosclerosis, to determine the predictive potential of the biomarker. + + METHODS: Sections from the stenotic human carotid plaques were stained with the PRO-C6 antibody. PRO-C6 was measured in serum of patients enrolled in the Carotid Plaque Imagining Project (CPIP) (discovery cohort, n = 577) and the innovative medicines initiative surrogate markers for micro- and macrovascular hard end-points for innovative diabetes tools (IMI-SUMMIT, validation cohort, n = 1,378). Median follow-up was 43 months. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests were performed in the discovery cohort. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis (HR with 95% CI) was used in the discovery cohort and binary logistic regression (OR with 95% CI) in the validation cohort. + + RESULTS: PRO-C6 was localized in the core and shoulder of the atherosclerotic plaque. In the discovery cohort, PRO-C6 independently predicted future cardiovascular events (HR 1.089 [95% CI 1.019 -1.164], p = 0.01), cardiovascular death (HR 1.118 [95% CI 1.008 -1.241], p = 0.04) and all-cause death (HR 1.087 [95% CI 1.008 -1.172], p = 0.03). In the validation cohort, PRO-C6 predicted future cardiovascular events (OR 1.063 [95% CI 1.011 -1.117], p = 0.017). + + CONCLUSION: PRO-C6 is present in the atherosclerotic plaque and associated with future cardiovascular events, cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality in two large prospective cohorts.

Aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between levels of circulating bone turnover biomarkers and advanced atherosclerosis. + + METHODS: Klotho (KL), sclerostin (SOST), osteopontin (OPN) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were measured in patients undergoing elective coronary angiography and carotid Doppler ultrasound. The primary outcome was the difference in bone biomarkers levels between participants with and without advanced atherosclerosis, defined as the presence of a critical coronary (>=70%) and/or carotid (>=50%) stenosis. + + RESULTS: A total of 80 subjects (32.5% females) with a mean age of 68 +/- 10 years were included. Advanced atherosclerosis was detected in 55 (68.8%) patients. Subjects with advanced atherosclerosis showed higher serum levels of OPG (p = 0.0015) and SOST (p = 0.017) and similar levels of KL (p = 0.62) and OPN (p = 0.06) compared to patients without. After adjustment for age and sex, only elevated levels of OPG remained significantly associated with advanced atherosclerosis (p = 0.011). + + CONCLUSIONS: Higher serum levels of OPG are independently associated with advanced atherosclerosis confirming a common bond between bone metabolism and vascular disease. Further investigations on the role of selected bone biomarkers in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease are needed. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adaptor Proteins, Signal Transducing). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Osteoprotegerin). 0 (SOST protein, human). 106441-73-0 (Osteopontin).

However, the best way to fight obesity is preventive, with accurate body weight management through exercise, diet, or bioactive NPs to avoid obesity development. We demonstrated that green tea extract (GTE) is an anti-obesity NP using a zebrafish obesity model. Based on a hypothesis that GTE can prevent obesity, the objective of this study was to assess GTE's ability to attenuate obesity development. Juvenile zebrafish were pretreated with GTE for seven days before obesity induction via a high-fat diet; adult zebrafish were pretreated with GTE for two weeks before obesity induction by overfeeding. As a preventive intervention, GTE significantly decreased visceral adipose tissue accumulation in juveniles and ameliorated visceral adiposity and plasma triglyceride levels in adult zebrafish obesity models. RNA sequencing analysis was performed using liver tissues from adult obese zebrafish, with or without GTE administration, to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism. Transcriptome analysis revealed that preventive GTE treatment affects several pathways associated with anti-obesity regulation, including activation of STAT and downregulation of CEBP signaling pathways. In conclusion, GTE could be used as a preventive agent against obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Plant Extracts). 0 (Tea). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med20&DO=10.3390%2fmolecules26092627 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Zang&issn=1420-3049&title=Molecules&atitle=Preventive+Effects+of+Green+Tea+Extract+against+Obesity+Development+in+Zebrafish.&volume=26&issue=9&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fmolecules26092627&pmid=33946279&sid=OVID:medline + +<870> +Unique Identifier + 33932464 +Title + Blocking endothelial TRPV4-Nox2 interaction helps reduce ROS production and inflammation, and improves vascular function in obese mice. +Source + Journal of Molecular & Cellular Cardiology. 157:66-76, 2021 08. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Gao M; Han J; Zhu Y; Tang C; Liu L; Xiao W; Ma X +Authors Full Name + Gao, Mengru; Han, Jing; Zhu, Yifei; Tang, Chunlei; Liu, Liangliang; Xiao, Wang; Ma, Xin. +Institution + Gao, Mengru.

However, little attention has been paid to the role of the TRPV4-Nox2 complex in these problems. The purpose of this study was to figure out the role of the TRPV4-Nox2 complex in obesity-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and vasodilatory dysfunction. Using fluorescence resonance energy transfer and immunoprecipitation assays, we found enhanced TRPV4 and Nox2 interactions in obese mice. Using q-PCR, fluorescent dye dihydroethidium staining, and myotonic techniques, we found that obesity caused inflammation, oxidative stress, and vasodilatory dysfunction. Using adeno-associated viruses, we found that enhancement or attenuation of TRPV4-Nox2 interaction altered the vaso-function. Based on these findings, we found a small-molecule drug, M12, that interrupted the TRPV4-Nox2 interaction, thereby reducing inflammatory factors and reactive oxygen species production and helping to restore the vasodilatory function. In summary, our results revealed a new mechanism by which obesity-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and vasodilatory dysfunction is caused by enhanced TRPV4-Nox2 interactions. Using M12 to interrupt the TRPV4-Nox2 interaction may have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress effects and help restore vasodilatory function and thus provide a new therapeutic approach to obesity.

This study aimed to explore the associations between anthropometric measures and salivary androgen concentrations in pre-adolescent children. + + METHODS: We analysed a stratified random sample (N=1151) of pupils aged 8-9 years old from 43 primary schools in Melbourne, Australia from the Childhood to Adolescence Transition Study. Saliva samples were assayed for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), DHEA-sulfate and testosterone. Anthropometric measures included height, weight, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. Associations between (1) anthropometric measures and each androgen, and (2) hormone status with obesity and parental report of pubertal development were investigated using linear regression modelling with general estimating equations. + + RESULTS: Greater height, weight, BMI and waist circumference were positively associated with higher androgen concentrations, after adjusting for sex and socioeconomic status. Being overweight or obese was associated with higher testosterone and DHEA concentrations compared with the normal BMI category. Those who were obese were more likely (OR=2.7, 95% CI 1.61 to 4.43, p<0.001) to be in the top tertile of age-adjusted androgen status in both sexes. + + CONCLUSION: This study provides clear evidence for an association between obesity and higher androgen levels in mid-childhood. The adrenal transition may be a critical time period for weight management intervention strategies in order to manage the risk for metabolic problems in later life for high-risk individuals.

The purpose of this secondary analysis was to examine the effects of a 16-week exercise intervention on patient-reported sleep quality among breast cancer survivors and assess whether changes in patient-reported sleep quality were associated with cardiometabolic biomarkers. We explored Hispanic ethnicity as a moderator of the effects of exercise on patient-reported sleep quality. + + METHODS: Breast cancer survivors who were overweight or obese were randomized to exercise (n = 50) or usual care (n = 50). The 16-week intervention included aerobic and resistance exercise. Patient-reported sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]) and biomarkers of cardiometabolic health were assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Within- and between-group differences were assessed using general linear models repeated-measures analyses of variance and mixed-model repeated-measure analysis, respectively. Associations between changes in PSQI and cardiometabolic biomarkers were computed using Pearson correlations. Linear mixed-models were used to evaluate effect modification by ethnicity. + + RESULTS: Participants were 52 +/- 10.4 years old, and over half were of Hispanic ethnicity. As compared to usual care, PSQI global scores improved significantly in the exercise group (mean between-group difference -2.2; 95% CI -3.2 to -0.6). Change in PSQI was inversely associated with changes in all cardiometabolic biomarkers (p < 0.01) among the exercise group. Ethnicity was found to moderate the effects of exercise training on global sleep quality (p < 0.001). + + CONCLUSIONS: An aerobic and resistance exercise intervention effectively improved patient-reported sleep quality in breast cancer survivors. Hispanic ethnicity as a moderator showed greater improvement in patient-reported sleep indicating Hispanic versus non-Hispanic breast cancer survivors may derive larger sleep benefits. + + CLINICAL TRAIL INFORMATION: NCT01140282.

We examined the effects of two dietary achievable doses of strawberries on glycemic control and lipid profiles in obese adults with elevated serum LDL cholesterol (LDL-C). Methods: In this 14-week randomized controlled crossover study, participants were assigned to one of the three arms for four weeks separated by a one-week washout period: control powder, one serving (low dose: 13 g strawberry powder/day), or two-and-a -half servings (high dose: 32 g strawberry powder/day). Participants were instructed to follow their usual diet and lifestyle while refraining from consuming other berries and related products throughout the study interval. Blood samples, anthropometric measures, blood pressure, and dietary and physical activity data were collected at baseline and at the end of each four-week phase of intervention. Results: In total, 33 participants completed all three phases of the trial [(mean +/- SD): Age: 53 +/- 13 y; BMI: 33 +/- 3.0 kg/m2). Findings revealed significant reductions in fasting insulin (p = 0.0002) and homeostatic model of assessment of insulin resistance (p = 0.0003) following the high dose strawberry phase when compared to the low dose strawberry and control phases. Glucose and conventional lipid profiles did not differ among the phases. Nuclear magnetic resonance-determined particle concentrations of total VLDL and chylomicrons, small VLDL, and total and small LDL were significantly decreased after the high dose strawberry phase, compared to control and low dose phases (all p < 0.0001). Among the biomarkers of inflammation and adipokines measured, only serum PAI-1 showed a decrease after the high dose strawberry phase (p = 0.002). Conclusions: These data suggest that consuming strawberries at two-and-a-half servings for four weeks significantly improves insulin resistance, lipid particle profiles, and serum PAI-1 in obese adults with elevated serum LDL-C. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). 0 (Insulin). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Several studies show a positive effect of exercise on aBMD among weight-stable older adults; however, data on the ability of exercise to mitigate bone loss secondary to CR are surprisingly equivocal. The purpose of this review is to provide a focused update of the randomized controlled trial literature assessing the efficacy of exercise as a countermeasure to CR-induced bone loss among older adults. Secondarily, we present data demonstrating the occurrence of exercise-induced changes in bone biomarkers, offering insight into why exercise is not more effective than observed in mitigating CR-induced bone loss. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Lauraceae extracts revealed significant inhibitory activities in all assays, altough with different ability between species. In general, P. indica showed the most promissing results. In the protein glycation assay, all analysed extracts displayed a stronger effect than a reference compound: aminoguanidine (AMG). The in vitro anti-diabetic, anti-obesity and anti-glycation activities of analysed extracts showed correlation with their flavonols and flavan-3-ols (in particular, proanthocyanins) contents. These Lauraceae species have the capacity to assist in adjuvant therapy of type-2 diabetes and associated complications, through modulation of the activity of key metabolic enzymes and prevention of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) formation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycoproteins). 0 (Hypoglycemic Agents). 0 (Phenols). 0 (Plant Extracts).

This study investigates the associations between pregestational body mass index (pBMI) and the rate of gestational weight gain (rGWG) in the second trimester with the biomarkers of lipid, fatty acids metabolism and insulin resistance. + + METHODS: Sixty nine pregnant women followed. The body weights of the pregnant women were measured and blood samples were obtained at 11-14th and 24-28th weeks of pregnancy. Glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, insulin levels and fatty acids were measured. Rate of GWG (kg/week) and The Homeostasis Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) were calculated. The pregnant women were stratified according to their pBMI and the 2nd trimester rGWG. + + RESULTS: The rate of GWG was significantly higher for the group with pBMI<25, compared to the group with pBMI>=25 (p=0.024). Triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol were significantly increased in the second trimester compared with the first trimester. Palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, myristic acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), arachidonic acid (AA), total omega-6 (n - 6) and omega-3 (n - 3) fatty acid levels and n - 6/n - 3 ratio were significantly higher in the second trimester. Glucose was significantly decreased and insulin was increased in the second trimester. In the overweight/obese group; HOMA-IR, insulin, AA, palmitoleic acid and stearic acid were found to be high in comparison to the group with low/normal pBMI. No parameters were associated with rGWG. + + CONCLUSIONS: The changes in lipid parameters, free fatty acids, insulin and HOMA-IR in the second trimester were compatible with the changes in lipid metabolism and the development of insulin resistance. Pregestational BMI was shown to have a stronger influence on lipid profile, insulin resistance, and fatty acids than rGWG.

Blood samples were taken before the first and after the 10th and 20th cryostimulation. The following parameters were determined: red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin concentration (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), platelets (PLT), red blood cell distribution width (RDW-SD), mean platelet volume (MPV), white blood cells (WBC), neutrophils (NEUT), lymphocytes (LYMPH), monocytes (MONO), eosinophils (EO) and basophiles (BASO). + + RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were found in red blood cells parameters such as RBC, HCT, MCV and MCHC. Time influence was noted for HCT, MCV and MCHC. Two-way ANOVA showed a significant correlation (for time and group) for 2 paramateres: RBC and MCV. For platelet parameters statistically significant differences were found for PLT (group influence) and MPV (time and group interaction). In white blood cells parameters statistically significant differences in levels of LYMPH were noted. Higher levels were observed for HBF group. + + CONCLUSIONS: All observed changes were within the reference range, but hematological markers changed unevenly in people who are obese and non-obese. Therefore, it appears that an amount of fat tissue could be a factor causing the differences in adaptation to low temperature. It is suggested that 20 whole body cryostimulation sessions restore the state of homeostasis disturbed after 10 sessions. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: ACTRN 12619000524190. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Although the molecular mechanisms that link both diseases are not well established, the role of adipose tissue (AT) is becoming increasingly important in obesity-associated kidney damage. In the context of obesity, lipotoxicity and the alteration of AT secretion profile promote inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis in the kidney, which ultimately leads to impaired renal function. Different studies have highlighted the importance of body weight loss in the improvement of renal function markers. In this regard, bariatric surgery, rather than low-calorie diets, has been accepted as the most effective option to lose weight. In fact, a significant reduction in proteinuria and hyperfiltration has been observed in association with surgically induced weight loss. Detection of early signs of kidney dysfunction in patients with obesity has not been accomplished yet, though. Therefore, understanding the harmful effects within the adipo-renal axis is essential to prevent the progression to the irreversible renal insufficiency. MicroRNAs have recently been described as important modulators of normal kidney function. Some of these microRNAs could be potential early markers of kidney damage, which would help with the diagnosis and the prevention of CKD. Copyright © 2021 S.

These interactions are potentiated by oxidative stress. We used in vivo molecular imaging to test the hypothesis that platelet-endothelial interactions occur at early stages of plaque development in obese, insulin-resistant nonhuman primates, and are suppressed by NADPH-oxidase-2 inhibition. Methods and Results Six adult rhesus macaques fed a Western-style diet for a median of 4.0 years were studied at baseline and after 8 weeks of therapy with the NADPH-oxidase-2-inhibitor apocynin (50 mg/kg per day). Six lean control animals were also studied. Measurements included intravenous glucose tolerance test, body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, carotid intimal medial thickness, carotid artery contrast ultrasound molecular imaging for platelet GPIbalpha (glycoprotein- Ibalpha) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and blood oxidative markers on mass spectrometry. Compared with lean controls, animals on a Western-style diet were obese (median body mass: 16.0 versus 8.7 kg, P=0.003; median truncal fat: 49% versus 20%, P=0.002), were insulin resistant (4-fold higher insulin-glucose area under the curve on intravenous glucose tolerance test, P=0.002), had 40% larger carotid intimal medial thickness (P=0.004), and exhibited oxidative signatures on proteomics. In obese but not lean animals, signal enhancement on molecular imaging was significantly elevated for GPIbalpha and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1. The signal correlated modestly with intimal medial thickness but not with the degree of insulin resistance. Apocynin significantly (P<0.01) reduced median signal for GPIbalpha by >80% and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 signal by 75%, but did not affect intimal medial thickness, body mass, or intravenous glucose tolerance test results. Conclusion In nonhuman primates, diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance leads to platelet-endothelial adhesion at early atherosclerotic lesion sites, which is associated with the expression of pro-inflammatory adhesion molecules. These responses appear to be mediated, in part, through oxidative pathways. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The combination of aerobic and strength exercises seems to induce health benefits in obese individuals, but little is known about the effects of combined physical exercise on redox homeostasis and DNA damage in this population. Thus, the aim of the current study was to determine the effects of 16 weeks of combined physical exercise on biomarkers of oxidative stress and DNA damage in obese women. 17 obese women underwent 16 weeks of a combined physical training program, 3 times per week. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase activity, plasma 8-isoprostane levels, and DNA and chromosomal damage were evaluated before and after physical training. Combined physical exercise training decreased body weight (83.2 +/- 9.6 vs. 80.2 +/- 9.6 kg), body mass index (33.8 +/- 3.6 vs. 32.6 +/- 3.7 kg.m-2), body fat (40.2 +/- 2.6 vs. 39.0 +/- 3.2%), and waist circumference (99.3 +/- 9.4 vs. 94.1 +/- 8.8 cm), while the fat-free mass was augmented (59.9 +/- 2.9 vs. 60.7 +/- 3.1 kg). Moreover, blood glucose reduced (113.5 +/- 29.6 vs. 107.3 +/- 28.9 mg/dL) along with high-density lipoprotein (54.6 +/- 18.1 vs. 59.0 +/- 18.8 mg/dL), TSH (2.1 +/- 1.1 vs. 2.6 +/- 1.2 mIU/mL), and free T4 (0.9 +/- 0.1 vs. 1.12 +/- 0.2 ng/dL) increase after physical exercise training. Plasma 8-isoprostane levels (17.24 +/- 7.9 vs. 29.11 +/- 17.44 pg/mL) and DNA damage (34.16 +/- 7.1 vs. 45.96 +/- 5.8% DNA in tail) were also higher after physical training. No changes were observed in chromosomal damage levels. These results suggest that 16 weeks of combined exercise training 3 times per week is effective in reducing body fat but also increases oxidative stress and DNA damage in obese women.

Although the mechanisms linking obesity and anxiety remain speculative, this bidirectionality suggests shared pathophysiological processes. Neuroinflammation and oxidative damage are implicated in both pathological anxiety and obesity. This study investigates the relative contribution of comorbid diet-induced obesity and stress-induced anxiety to neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. + + METHODS: Thirty-six (36) male Lewis rats were divided into four groups based on diet type and stress exposure: 1) control diet unexposed (CDU) and 2) exposed (CDE), 3) Western-like high-saturated fat diet unexposed (WDU) and 4) exposed (WDE). Neurobehavioral tests were performed to assess anxiety-like behaviors. The catalytic concentrations of glutathione peroxidase and reductase were measured from plasma samples, and neuroinflammatory/oxidative stress biomarkers were measured from brain samples using Western blot. Correlations between behavioral phenotypes and biomarkers were assessed with Pearson's correlation procedures. + + RESULTS: We found that WDE rats exhibited markedly increased levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (185 %), catalase protein (215 %), and glutathione reductase (GSHR) enzymatic activity (418 %) relative to CDU rats. Interestingly, the brain protein levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase were positively associated with body weight and behavioral indices of anxiety. + + CONCLUSIONS: Together, our results support a role for neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in heightened emotional reactivity to obesogenic environments and psychogenic stress. Uncovering adaptive responses to obesogenic environments characterized by high access to high-saturated fat/high-sugar diets and toxic stress has the potential to strongly impact how we treat psychiatric disorders in at-risk populations.

This study aimed to identify the specific FFAs that best predict the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in obese individuals, and assess their potential application value. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Participants were divided into three groups: a normal weight group (n = 20), an obese group (n = 10) and a type 2 diabetes mellitus group (n = 10). FFAs in serum samples were determined by ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis models were used to study the FFA profile among the three groups. + + RESULTS: Compared with the normal weight group, 14 FFAs (C8:0/10:0/14:0/16:1/18:1/20:2/ 20:3 /20:4/ 20:5/ 22:6/7:0/9:0/11:0 and C13:0) were significantly increased in the obese group, and nine FFAs (C14:0, C18:1, C20:1, C 18:2, C20:2, C20:3, C18:3, C20:5 and C22:6) were significantly increased in the type 2 diabetes mellitus group. Subsequently, the Venn diagram results showed that six FFAs (C14:0, C18:1, C20:2, C20:3, C20:5 and C22:6) were significantly increased in both the obese and type 2 diabetes mellitus groups. Among these six, C22:6 was finally identified as an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus, and had a great potential to predict the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus (area under the curve 0.803). + + CONCLUSIONS: C22:6 can be an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus, and it has a great potential to predict the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus.

However, the clinical significance of CXCL14 in humans has not been elucidated. This study aimed to assess correlations between serum CXCL14 levels and clinical parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total, 176 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited. Serum CXCL14 concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We examined the associations of serum CXCL14 levels with laboratory values, abdominal computed tomography image information, surrogate markers used for evaluating the pathological states of diabetes, obesity and atherosclerosis. + + RESULTS: Serum CXCL14 levels correlated positively with body mass index, waist circumference, subcutaneous and visceral fat areas, and serum alanine transaminase, uric acid, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides and C-peptide (CPR) levels. In contrast, CXCL14 levels correlated inversely with age, pulse wave velocity and serum adiponectin levels. Multiple linear regression analysis showed serum levels of CPR (beta = 0.227, P = 0.038) and the fatty liver index (beta = 0.205, P = 0.049) to be the only parameters showing independent statistically significant associations with serum CXCL14 levels. + + CONCLUSIONS: Serum CXCL14 levels were independently associated with serum CPR and fatty liver index in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In these patients, a high serum CPR concentration might reflect insulin resistance rather than beta-cell function, because CXCL14 showed simple correlations with obesity-related parameters. Collectively, these data suggested that serum CXCL14 levels in type 2 diabetes patients might be useful predictors of elevated serum CPR and hepatic steatosis. Copyright © 2020 The Authors.

A total of 30 individuals (15 woman and 15 men) were included. FCSNP allowed the capture of a variety of low molecular weight (LMW) proteins as evidenced by mass spectrometry (MS) and the exclusion of high molecular weight (HMW) proteins (>34 kDa) as demonstrated by SDS-PAGE and 2D SDS-PAGE. A total of 36 proteins were successfully identified by MS and homology database searching against the Homo sapiens subset of the Swiss-Prot database. Identified proteins were grouped into different clusters according to their abundance patterns. Four proteins were found only in women and five only in men, whereas 27 proteins were in urine from both genders with different abundance patterns. Based on these results, this new approach represents an alternative tool for isolation and identification of urinary biomarkers. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.3390%2fmolecules26061803 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Hernandez-Leon&issn=1420-3049&title=Molecules&atitle=Nanoproteomic+Approach+for+Isolation+and+Identification+of+Potential+Biomarkers+in+Human+Urine+from+Adults+with+Normal+Weight%2C+Overweight+and+Obesity.&volume=26&issue=6&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fmolecules26061803&pmid=33806905&sid=OVID:medline + +<887> +Unique Identifier + 33758311 +Title + Assessment of the relationship of serum liver enzymes activity with general and abdominal obesity in an urban Bangladeshi population. +Source + Scientific Reports. 11(1):6640, 2021 03 23. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ali N; Sumon AH; Fariha KA; Asaduzzaman M; Kathak RR; Molla NH; Mou AD; Barman Z; Hasan M; Miah R; Islam F +Author NameID + Ali, Nurshad; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1649-0887 + Islam, Farjana; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8274-2021 +Authors Full Name + Ali, Nurshad; Sumon, Abu Hasan; Fariha, Khandaker Atkia; Asaduzzaman, Md; Kathak, Rahanuma Raihanu; Molla, Noyan Hossain; Mou, Ananya Dutta; Barman, Zitu; Hasan, Mahmudul; Miah, Rakib; Islam, Farjana. +Institution + Ali, Nurshad.

A limited number of studies have evaluated the association of liver enzymes with both general and abdominal obesity in the general population; data for the Bangladeshi population are not available yet. This study aimed to assess the relationship of serum liver enzymes activity with both general and abdominal obesity in Bangladeshi adults. In total, 540 blood samples were obtained from the participants (388 males and 152 females) and analyzed for serum levels of ALT, AST, GGT, and ALP using standard methods. General obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) >= 27.5 kg/m2 and abdominal obesity was defined as waist circumference (WC) >= 90 cm in males and >= 80 cm in females. The relationship between liver enzymes and obesity was evaluated by multivariate logistic regression models. Overall, 58% of participants in the general obesity group and 55% of the participants in the abdominal obesity group had at least one or more elevated levels of liver enzymes. The prevalence of elevated liver enzymes was significantly higher in the obesity group compared to the normal BMI and WC groups (p < 0.05 for all cases). The mean level of serum ALT, AST and GGT were significantly higher in the obesity group than the normal BMI group (p < 0.05). In the WC groups, mean AST and GGT were significantly higher in the obesity group compared to the normal group (p < 0.05). In regression analysis, serum levels of ALT showed an independent and significant association with general obesity, whereas, serum GGT showed a significant association with both general and abdominal obesity. In conclusion, a high prevalence of elevated liver enzymes was observed among participants included in the present study. Of the four enzymes, serum GGT was independently associated with both general and abdominal obesity. Further studies are required to understand the complex relationship between liver enzymes and obesity in the general population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

We clarified the critical markers for the development of T2D in obese Japanese children. + + Methods: One hundred and seven obese children who visited our outpatient clinic were enrolled in this study. The obese subjects were divided into 3 groups: Group A, T2D (n = 19); Group B, MS but not T2D (n = 19); and Group C: non-T2D, non-MS (n = 69). In all the subjects, a biochemical examination was performed and the serum adiponectin and leptin levels were measured. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) were measured using computed tomography images. + + Results: Group A tended to have higher VAT values and VAT/SAT ratios and lower leptin and adiponectin levels, compared with Groups B and C. In Group A, the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level was significantly higher and the aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/ALT ratio was significantly lower than in Group C. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the optimal cut-off point for adiponectin was 6.4 mug/mL (AUC = 0.859). The cut-off points for ALT, the AST/ALT ratio and VAT were 35 IU/L (AUC = 0.821), 0.85 (AUC = 0.794) and 78 cm2 (AUC = 0.713), respectively. Group A had a significantly higher frequency of a family history of T2D than Group B. + + Conclusions: Our study revealed that the adiponectin level, ALT level, AST/ALT ratio, VAT value and a family history of T2D may be critical characteristic markers for T2D among obese Japanese children.

Little is known about metabolic alterations separately associated with obesity, hyperinsulinaemia/IR and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in adolescents. + + OBJECTIVES: To identify metabolic alterations associated with obesity, hyperinsulinaemia/IR and hyperinsulinaemia/IR combined with IGT in obese adolescents. + + METHODS: 81 adolescents were stratified into four groups based on body mass index (lean vs. obese), insulin responses (normal insulin (NI) vs. high insulin (HI)) and glucose responses (normal glucose tolerance (NGT) vs. IGT) after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The groups comprised: (1) healthy lean with NI and NGT, (2) obese with NI and NGT, (3) obese with HI and NGT, and (4) obese with HI and IGT. Targeted nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomics analysis was performed on fasting and seven post-OGTT plasma samples, followed by univariate and multivariate statistical analyses. + + RESULTS: Two groups of metabolites were identified: (1) Metabolites associated with insulin response level: adolescents with HI (groups 3-4) had higher concentrations of branched-chain amino acids and tyrosine, and lower concentrations of serine, glycine, myo-inositol and dimethylsulfone, than adolescents with NI (groups 1-2).

Risk factors include preexisting renal impairment, diabetes, elderly age, and dehydration. In a single-centre prospective study, we investigated which factors are implicated for CIN in patients with peripheral arterial disease due for angiography. Serum creatinine was measured before, 1, 2, and 7 days post-angiography. We also considered the chronic kidney disease stage of the patients at admission and 48 hours post-contrast. All patients received 500 mL normal saline pre- and post-angiography and a low-osmolality contrast medium. 6 of 94 patients developed CIN: 1 required dialysis and 1 died partly due to renal failure. Only 2 factors were associated with CIN: body mass index (BMI; P = .019) and kidney function (P = .001); 4 of 6 patients with CIN were obese (BMI >=30) and only 2 were nonobese (P = .0092). Diabetes, contrast volume, and age were not significant risk factors. Our results confirm renal impairment raises the risk of CIN. To our knowledge, we report for the first time that obesity may be a risk factor for CIN. Pending confirmatory studies and given the rising prevalence of obesity, this finding could help identify at-risk patients and hence reduce the burden of CIN. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Contrast Media).

We aimed to quantify the mediating effects of adiponectin (anti-inflammatory adipocytokine); IL6, IL1-receptor antagonist, TNF receptor 1 and 2, and C-reactive protein (inflammatory status biomarkers); C-peptide (hyperinsulinemia biomarker); and free estradiol and estrone (estrogen biomarkers) in the adiposity-endometrial cancer link in postmenopausal women. + + METHODS: We used data from a case-control study within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Eligible women did not have cancer, hysterectomy, and diabetes; did not use oral contraceptives or hormone therapy; and were postmenopausal at recruitment. Mediating pathways from adiposity to endometrial cancer were investigated by estimating natural indirect (NIE) and direct (NDE) effects using sequential mediation analysis. + + RESULTS: The study included 163 cases and 306 controls. The adjusted OR for endometrial cancer for body mass index (BMI) >=30 versus >=18.5-<25 kg/m2 was 2.51 (95% confidence interval, 1.26-5.02). The ORsNIE were 1.95 (1.01-3.74) through all biomarkers [72% proportion mediated (PM)] decomposed as: 1.35 (1.06-1.73) through pathways originating with adiponectin (33% PM); 1.13 (0.71-1.80) through inflammation beyond (the potential influence of) adiponectin (13% PM); 1.05 (0.88-1.24) through C-peptide beyond adiponectin and inflammation (5% PM); and 1.22 (0.89-1.67) through estrogens beyond preceding biomarkers (21% PM). The ORNDE not through biomarkers was 1.29 (0.54-3.09). Waist circumference gave similar results. + + CONCLUSIONS: Reduced adiponectin and increased inflammatory biomarkers, C-peptide, and estrogens mediated approximately 70% of increased odds of endometrial cancer in women with obesity versus normal weight. + + IMPACT: If replicated, these results could have implications for identifying targets for intervention to reduce endometrial cancer risk in women with obesity.

They are phytochemical flavonoids found in red and blue fruits, and vegetables that can reduce hyperlipidemia. Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT) has emerged as a major player in driving obesity-related inflammatory response. + + METHODS: This study has investigated the potential positive effects of tart cherries on rats with Diet-Induced Obesity (DIO). In particular, the inflammatory status in retroperitoneal (RPW) and perigonadal (PGW) adipose tissue were studied. Rats were fed ad libitum for 17 weeks with a hypercaloric diet with the supplementation of tart cherries seeds powder (DS) and seeds powder plus tart cherries juice containing 1mg of anthocyanins (DJS). In RPW and PGW, expression of CRP, IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, CCL2 and CD36, were measured by qRT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry techniques. + + RESULTS: No differences in the weight of RPW and PGW animals were found between DS and DJS groups compared to DIO rats. However, an increase of inflammatory markers was observed in DIO group in comparison with control lean rats. A modulation of these markers was evident upon tart cherry supplementation. + + CONCLUSION: Study results suggest that tart cherry enriched-diet did not modify the accumulation of visceral fat, but it decreased inflammatory markers in both tissues. Therefore, this supplementation could be useful, in combination with healthy lifestyles, to modify adipose tissue cell metabolism limiting-obesity related organ damage. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (CD36 Antigens). 0 (Ccl2 protein, rat). 0 (Chemokine CCL2). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.3390%2fmolecules26051403 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Moruzzi&issn=1420-3049&title=Molecules&atitle=Tart+Cherry+Juice+and+Seeds+Affect+Pro-Inflammatory+Markers+in+Visceral+Adipose+Tissue+of+High-Fat+Diet+Obese+Rats.&volume=26&issue=5&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fmolecules26051403&pmid=33807712&sid=OVID:medline + +<893> +Unique Identifier + 33761942 +Title + Countering adipose tissue dysfunction could underlie the superiority of telmisartan in the treatment of obesity-related hypertension. +Source + Cardiovascular Diabetology. 20(1):70, 2021 03 24. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Naguib YM; Samaka RM; Rizk MS; Ameen O; Motawea SM +Author NameID + Naguib, Yahya M; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5851-7238 +Authors Full Name + Naguib, Yahya M; Samaka, Rehab M; Rizk, Mohamed S; Ameen, Omnia; Motawea, Shaimaa M. +Institution + Naguib, Yahya M.

Hypertension and obesity often coexist, and both are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Obese hypertensive patients usually require special anti-hypertensive treatment strategy due to the increased risk of treatment resistance. Molecules that can target both obesity and hypertension underlying pathologies should get more attention. Herein, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of telmisartan, with special interest in visceral adipose tissue dysfunction, in obesity-related hypertension rat model. + + METHODS: Thirty male Wistar rats weighing 150-200 g were equally divided into: 1-Control group (fed normal laboratory diet for 24 weeks), 2-Diet-induced obesity group (DIO, fed high fat diet for 24 weeks), and 3-Diet-induced obesity treated with telmisartan group (DIO + Tel, fed high fat diet and received telmisartan for 24 weeks). At the end of the study, anthropometrical parameters were evaluated. Systolic blood pressure and heart rate were measured. Blood samples were collected for the measurement of serum lipids, adipokines, cardiac, renal, inflammatory, and oxidative stress biomarkers. Kidneys were removed and used for histopathological studies, and visceral adipose tissue was utilized for histopathological, immunohistochemical and RT-PCR studies. + + RESULTS: High fat diet resulted in obesity-related changes in anthropometrical parameters, elevation of blood pressure, increase in heart rate, higher serum levels of cardiac, inflammatory and kidney function biomarkers, with altered serum lipids, adipokines and oxidative stress markers. Morphological changes (H&E and PAS-stained sections) were noticed in kidneys and visceral adipose tissue. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR studies confirmed adipose tissue dysfunction and over-expression of inflammatory and oxidative stress proteins. Telmisartan countered obesity-induced alterations in cardiovascular, renal, and adipose tissue functions. + + CONCLUSION: Adipose tissue dysfunction could be the core pathophysiology of obesity-related hypertension.

This is in accordance with the theory of fetal programming, which suggests adverse conditions occurring in utero predispose offspring to chronic conditions later in life. DNA methylation has been proposed as a key mechanism by which fetal programming occurs and is implicated in CKD progression. DNA demethylating drugs may interrupt the fetal programming of CKD by maternal obesity. Hydralazine, an antihypertensive agent, demethylates DNA at low doses which do not reduce blood pressure. We used a mouse model of maternal obesity to determine whether gestational administration of low-dose hydralazine to mothers can prevent CKD in offspring. + + METHODS: C57BL/6 dams received HFD or chow from 6 weeks prior to mating and were administered subcutaneous hydralazine (5mg/kg) or saline thrice weekly during gestation. Male offspring were weaned to chow and were sacrificed at either postnatal week 9 or week 32. Biometric and metabolic parameters, renal global DNA methylation, renal structural and functional changes and markers of fibrosis, oxidative stress and inflammation were measured in offspring at weeks 9 and 32. + + RESULTS: In week 9 offspring, maternal HFD consumption did not significantly alter anthropometric or metabolic parameters, or renal global DNA methylation. Week 32 offspring had increased renal global DNA methylation, together with albuminuria, glomerulosclerosis, renal fibrosis and oxidative stress. Administration of low-dose hydralazine to obese mothers during gestation reduced renal global DNA methylation and renal fibrotic markers in week 32 offspring. + + CONCLUSION: Gestational hydralazine reduced renal global DNA methylation in offspring of obese mothers and attenuated maternal obesity-induced renal fibrosis. These data support the use of low-dose hydralazine as a demethylating agent to prevent CKD arising in offspring due to maternal HFD consumption. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fibronectins). 26NAK24LS8 (Hydralazine). 9007-34-5 (Collagen). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

After HFS, they switched to chow (HFS-CH) or ketogenic diet (HFS-KD) for 3 weeks to model a dietary intervention. Body weight, adiposity, and food intake were measured. Glucose tolerance and corticosterone response to stress were measured after HFS, then again after the intervention. Both sexes increased body weight, food intake, and adiposity compared to control (CTL) while on HFS. HFS females showed impaired glucose tolerance. HFS males developed a dampened corticosterone to stress, whereas HFS females developed an exacerbated response. The effects of HFS on adiposity and corticosterone were reversed in HFS-CH males. These same improvements were observed in HFS-CH females, although they still had impaired glucose tolerance. HFS-KD males showed some improvements, however, they still had higher body weight and adiposity than CTL. The same pattern was observed in females. These beneficial effects of KD correlated with plasma BHB levels in females but not in males. + + CONCLUSIONS: These data model effects reported in clinical literature and serve as a valuable translational tool to further test causal mechanisms that lead to desirable outcomes of KD. These sex-specific relationships are important, as KD could potentially affect endocrine mechanisms differently in males and females. Copyright © 2020.

As excess adiposity causes testicular dysfunction and infertility, novel therapeutic strategies require investigation. Nigella sativa (Ns) seed oil and metformin have both demonstrated a potential positive effect on obesity, although both remain poorly investigated in male fertility. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of Ns oil and metformin on total body weight (TBW), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), serum testosterone and semen parameters in an obese animal model. Wistar rats (n = 54) were divided into six groups: normal chow (NC), high sugar diet (HSD) only, HSD and saline, HSD and metformin (75 mg/Kg/day), HSD and Ns (200 mg/Kg/day) (NS200), HSD and Ns (400 mg/Kg/day) (NS400). Intervention was force fed for the last 8 weeks of the 14 weeks dietary exposures. Results showed that the HSD increased TBW (P = 0.001) and reduced sperm concentration (P = 0.013) and progressive motility (P = 0.009) compared to the NC group. Metformin, NS200 and NS400 improved TBW (P = 0.035, P = 0.006 and P = 0.005, respectively) and testosterone (P < 0.001) compared to the HSD saline group, where metformin and NS400 improved sperm concentration (P < 0.001 and P = 0.049, respectively) and MMP (P < 0.001). There were no changes in sperm motility and viability for all experimental exposures, although NS400 (P = 0.047) negatively affected sperm viability. Metformin and Ns may be novel treatment options in obesity-induced infertility, although a potential negative impact on viability is cautioned for high dose Ns. These results warrant further investigation of Ns and Metformin for the management of obese infertile males. Copyright © 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Masson SAS..

It also stimulates intracellular hexosamine flux and increases transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) mRNA expression and insulin resistance in animal studies. The effects of D-glucosamine exposure were investigated in obese Zucker rats. Male (leprfa/leprfa) Zucker rats were exposed to 30, 120, 300 and 600 mg D-glucosamine HCl per kg/day either alone or with chondroitin sulfate (24, 96, 240 and 480 mg/kg/day respectively) for 90 days. After 4 weeks exposure, these doses produced CmaxD-glucosamine concentrations of up to 24 muM in tail vein serum concurrent with a transient 30% increase in blood glucose concentration in the 600 mg/kg/day dose group. D-Glucosamine did not significantly alter body weight, blood glucose or serum insulin levels at any dose tested after 13 weeks exposure, but did increase urinary TGFbeta1 concentrations. The Zucker rats developed nephropathy and scrotal sores that were related to their hyperglycemia and obesity, and D-glucosamine exposure exacerbated these conditions to a small extent. The incidence of pulmonary osseous metaplasia was increased in rats exposed to D-glucosamine and a single incidence of adrenal osseous metaplasia was noted in one animal exposed to 600/480 mg D-glucosamine HCl/chondroitin sulfate. These lesions may have been treatment related. These studies suggest that the risk of adverse effects of oral D-glucosamine is small compared to that of hyperglycemia in these animals, but the potential for TGFbeta1-mediated pathologies, such as osseous metaplasia and renal nephropathy may be increased.

VitD deficiency is closely involved with obesity and may contribute to the development of lung fibrosis and aggravation of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). We evaluated the causal relationship between VitD deficiency and the lung pathologies associated with obesity. In vivo effects of VitD supplementation were analyzed using high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice and TGF-beta1 (transforming growth factor-beta1) triple transgenic mice. Effects of VitD supplementation were also evaluated in both BEAS-2B and primary lung cells from the transgenic mice. Obese mice had decreased 25-OH VitD and VitD receptor expressions with increases of insulin resistance, renin and angiotensin-2 system (RAS) activity, and leptin. In addition, lung pathologies such as a modest increase in macrophages, enhanced TGF-beta1, IL-1beta, and IL-6 expression, lung fibrosis, and AHR were found. VitD supplementation to HFD-induced obese mice recovered these findings. TGF-beta1-overexpressing transgenic mice enhanced macrophages in BAL fluid, lung expression of RAS, epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers, AHR, and lung fibrosis. VitD supplementation also attenuated these findings in addition to the attenuation of the expressions of TGF-beta1, and phosphorylated Smad-2/3 in lung. Supplementing in vitro-stimulated BEAS-2B and primary lung cells with VitD inhibited TGF-beta1 expression, supporting the suppressive effect of VitD for TGF-beta1 expression. These results suggest that obesity leads to VitD deficiency and worsens insulin resistance while enhancing the expression of leptin, RAS, TGF-beta1, and proinflammatory cytokines. These changes may contribute to the development of lung fibrosis and AHR. VitD supplementation rescues these changes and may have therapeutic potential for asthma with obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Receptors, Calcitriol). 0 (Transforming Growth Factor beta1). 0W5ETF9M2K (Methacholine Chloride). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D).

Nuciferine, with poor bioavailability, has an anti-hyperlipidemic effect at low dosages. + + PURPOSE: In the present study, we aimed to explore the role of intestinal microbiota in the anti-hyperlipidemic function of nuciferine and identify the key bacterial targets that might confer the therapeutic actions. + + METHODS: The contribution of gut microbes in the anti-hyperlipidemic effect of nuciferine was evaluated by conventional and antibiotic-established pseudo-sterile mice. Whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing was used to characterize the changes in microbial communities by various agents. + + RESULTS: Nuciferine exhibited potent anti-hyperlipidemic and liver steatosis-alleviating effects at the doses of 7.5-30 mg/kg. The beneficial effects of nuciferine were substantially abolished when combined with antibiotics. Metagenomic analysis showed that nuciferine significantly shifted the microbial structure, and the enrichment of Akkermansia muciniphila was closely related to the therapeutic effect of nuciferine. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our results revealed that gut microbiota played an essential role in the anti-hyperlipidemic effect of nuciferine, and enrichment of Akkermansia muciniphila represented a key mechanism through which nuciferine exerted its therapeutic effects.

Physical exercises may attenuate these conditions and have been associated with low-grade inflammatory status, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of dyslipidemia on the effect of physical exercise on inflammatory markers IL6, IL10, and TNF-alpha in obese post-menopausal women. A randomized clinical trial was carried out in seventy women divided into four groups: exercise without dyslipidemia (EG/n = 11); exercise with dyslipidemia (EGD = 24); control with dyslipidemia (CGD/n = 22); and control without dyslipidemia (CG/n = 13). The serum values of IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-alpha were measured before and after the intervention period, and the exercise program lasted 20 weeks, in three weekly sessions of 75 min each, with aerobic and strength exercises. The comparison of means was performed using the ANOVA test, repeated measures to analyze the interaction between the group and intervention time. There were a significant reduction in IL-6 values and an increase in IL-10/IL-6 and IL-10/TNF-alpha ratios only in the EG group. For serum TNF-alpha values, the EG and EGD groups showed significant reductions. The groups that practiced exercises did not present significant variation in the levels of IL-10. However, the CGD and GC groups showed a significant reduction in IL-10 after the intervention period. Copyright © 2021.

In this study, we aimed to establish a robust obesity-related protein score (ORPS) that could be used to assess breast cancer risk. Based on evidence from high-quality systematic reviews and population studies, we selected nine such proteins that are stable in vitro, and measured their circulating concentrations by ELISA in a case-control study conducted in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, with 279 breast cancer cases and 260 healthy controls. Two obesity-related protein scores (ORPS) were calculated using a three-step method, with linear-weighted summation, and the one with a larger area under the curve was chosen for further evaluation. As a result, ORPS (PS5pre or PS4post) was positively correlated with breast cancer risk (premenopausal: OR<=63 VS >63 3.696, 95% CI 2.025-6.747; postmenopausal: OR<=38 VS >38 7.100, 95% CI 3.134-16.084), and represented a better risk predictor among obese women compared to non-obese in pre- and postmenopausal women. Among different molecular subtypes, ORPS was positively correlated with Luminal breast cancer, with additionally positive association with triple-negative breast cancer in premenopausal women. The ORPS might be a potential marker of breast cancer risk among Chinese women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Here, we investigate F0 perinatal serum DDT associations with granddaughters'(F2) measured obesity at a median age of 26 and self-reported age at menarche. + + METHODS: F2 weight, height and waist circumference were measured by trained examiners. o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDT and p,p'-DDE were measured in archived F0 perinatal serum. F0 DDT associations with F2 outcomes, accounting for F1 characteristics, were estimated in log-linear models adjusted for F0 and F1 body mass index (BMI), race, and menarche timing (N = 258 triads for obesity; N = 235 triads for early menarche). Interactions between F0 BMI and DDTs were estimated. + + RESULTS: F0 o,p'-DDT was associated with F2 obesity [Odds ratio (OR), 2.6; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.3-6.7; tertile 3 vs. 1), among normal weight F0 (70%), but not among overweight and obese F0 (P interaction = 0.03), independent of other DDTs. F0 o,p'-DDT was also associated with F2 early menarche (OR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.1-3.9, tertile 3 vs. 1) and this association was not modified by F0 BMI. + + CONCLUSIONS: Ancestral exposure to environmental chemicals, banned decades ago, may influence the development of earlier menarche and obesity, which are established risk factors for breast cancer and cardiometabolic diseases. + + IMPACT: Discovery of actionable biomarkers of response to ancestral environmental exposures in young women may provide opportunities for breast cancer prevention.

The first two groups consisted of obese people, out of which one group received RT and one did not. The third group consisted of average-weight individuals, according to their BMI, who received RT. Biochemical parameters were checked for all three groups before commencing with the RT and at the 4th and 8th week to measure the effects of the exercise. + + RESULTS: Mean and standard deviations of the demographic variables: age was 34.2 +/- 8.9 years, weight was 69.3 +/- 8.5 kg, and height was 1.6 +/- 0.06 meters. RT had a significant effect on the total levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, adiponectin, interleukin-6, and testosterone. Post-hoc comparisons using the Fisher's Least Significant Difference test indicated that the mean scores between the groups differed significantly. + + CONCLUSION: Our findings show that RT would be a useful and practical substitute to improve the health status of obese patients. It helps to decrease body fat and to improve lipid profiles and hormonal control. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate whether there is a relationship between PCOS and MHR and inflammatory parameters, to investigate the relationship level of MHR and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), which are easily accessible inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, with obese women with PCOS, and to determine the usability of MHR as a predictive marker for PCOS. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 64 PCOS-patients who were admitted to Gynecology clinics and 52 healthy women. + + RESULTS: The mean MHR (12.5 +/- 4.6) in the PCOS group was significantly higher than the control group (10.4 +/- 4.0) (p = 0.01). In the examination performed by combining the groups PCOS and obesity status, the mean MHR value in the PCOS-obese group was significantly higher than all the other groups (p = 0.004). In the ROC analysis, the threshold value of 10.1 for MHR was found to have a sensitivity of 84.8% and specificity of 58.5% in determining the association between PCOS and obesity (AUC: 0.721; p < 0.001; LB: 0.628; UB: 0.814; CI 95%). Accordingly, the rate of those with MHR level of 10.1 and above was significantly higher in the PCOS group compared to the control group (67.2% vs 40.4%) (p = 0.001). In the logistic regression analysis, the determination is increased by 3,026 times (odds ratio; 1.401-6.535) in predicting the presence of PCOS in those with MHR value of 10.1 and above, and 7,576 times (Odds ratio; 2.652-21.646) in predicting the presence of PCOS + obesity was found to be. Correlation analysis in PCOS patients revealed that the MHR value was negatively correlated with age (p = 0.001; r = -0.412), LMR (p = 0.003; r = -0.377), and total cholesterol [p = 0.018; correlation coefficient (r) = -0.302]. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study findings showed that MHR level is significantly related to PCOS, and especially MHR values above 10.1 may be a significant predictive marker for PCOS. Our study findings also show that an association of PCOS and obesity is a very important trigger on MHR. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.5603%2fGP.a2020.0191 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Herkiloglu&issn=0017-0011&title=Ginekologia+Polska&atitle=Correlation+of+monocyte%2FHDL+ratio+%28MHR%29+with+inflammatory+parameters+in+obese+patients+diagnosed+with+polycystic+ovary+syndrome.&volume=92&issue=8&spage=537&epage=543&date=2021&doi=10.5603%2FGP.a2020.0191&pmid=33844250&sid=OVID:medline + +<906> +Unique Identifier + 33838097 +Title + Screening for asymptomatic diabetes and metabolic comorbidities in pediatric patients during therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. +Source + Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism. 34(5):627-632, 2021 May 26. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Larouche V; Bellavance C; Tibout P; Bergeron S; Simonyan D; Gagne J +Author NameID + Larouche, Valerie; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9773-0995 +Authors Full Name + Larouche, Valerie; Bellavance, Caroline; Tibout, Pauline; Bergeron, Sebastien; Simonyan, David; Gagne, Julie. +Institution + Larouche, Valerie.

However, few studies have investigated the incidence of these complications during the phase of chemotherapy. We evaluated the incidence of acute metabolic complications occurring during therapy in our cohort of patients diagnosed with ALL. + + METHODS: A prospective study involving 50 ALL pediatric patients diagnosed and treated between 2012 and 2016 in our oncology unit. We collected weight, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1C (HBA1c) levels during the two years of therapy. + + RESULTS: Obesity and overweight occurred in 43 and 25%, respectively among patients and have been reached at 12 months of chemotherapy. About 26% of the patients developed high blood pressure and 14% experienced hyperglycemias without meeting diabetes criteria. There was a significant decrease of HBA1c levels between the beginning and the end of therapy (p<0.0001). + + CONCLUSIONS: Increase of body mass index in our ALL pediatric patients occurred during the first months of therapy and plateaued after a year of treatment. We should target this population for early obesity prevention. HbA1c levels measured during therapy did not reveal diabetes criteria. Hence, fasting blood glucose levels are sufficient to monitor ALL pediatric patients' glycemia.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are often manifestations of cardiometabolic disease that convey cardiovascular risk requiring recognition foremost, as well as a targeted approach to treatment. Similarly, menopause is a time to reflect on a woman's cardiovascular risk as multiple cardiometabolic changes occur during this time. Contraceptives and menopausal replacement therapy (MRT) should be considered along with a woman's individual thrombotic and cardiovascular risk. Clinicians should be attuned to cardiometabolic risk factors throughout a woman's lifespan and familiar with strategies to reduce cardiovascular risk. Copyright © 2021.

This study generated ethnic specific body fat percent prediction equation for Ethiopian adults using appropriate data. + + METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried ifrom February to April 2015 among 704 randomly selected adult employees of Jimma University. Ethnic specific Ethiopian body fat percent (BF%) prediction equation was developed using a multivariable linear regression model with measured BF% as dependent variable and age, sex, and body mass index as predictor variables. Agreement between fat percent measured using air displacement plethysmography and body fat percent estimated using Caucasian prediction equations was determined using Bland Altman plot. + + RESULTS: Comparison of ADP measured and predicted BF% showed that Caucasian prediction equation underestimated body fat percent among Ethiopian adults by 6.78% (P < 0.0001). This finding is consistent across all age groups and ethnicities in both sexes. Bland Altman plot did not show agreement between ADP and Caucasian prediction equation (mean difference = 6.7825) and some of the points are outside 95% confidence interval. The caucasian prediction equation significantly underestimates body fat percent in Ethiopian adults, which is consistent across all ethnic groups in the sample. The study developed Ethnic specific BF% prediction equations for Ethiopian adults. + + CONCLUSION: The Caucasian prediction equation significantly underestimates body fat percent among Ethiopian adults regardless of ethnicity. Ethiopian ethnic-specific prediction equation can be used as a very simple, cheap, and cost-effective alternative for estimating body fat percent among Ethiopian adults for health care provision in the prevention of obesity and related morbidities and for research purposes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Serum cortisol was collected in morning and quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Obesity was defined by body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist circumference (WC), visceral fat index (VFI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Both multivariable liner regression, logistic regression and restrictive cubic splines models were used to estimate the gender-specific relationships between cortisol levels and obesity defined by different indices, respectively. + + RESULTS: After adjusting for potential confounders, serum cortisol was negatively associated with different obesity measures, except obese females defined by BFP (for instance, overall obesity defined by BMI, Quartile 4 vs. Quartile 1, odds ratio (OR) = 0.25, 95% confidence interval (CI):0.15, 0.41 in males, and OR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.42,0.80 in females, central obesity defined by WC, OR = 0.52, 95% CI:0.39,0.69 in males and OR = 0.63, 95% CI:0.51,0.77 in females). Similarly, restrictive cubic splines showed the nonlinear relationship between high levels of cortisol and different obesity indices. Furthermore, ROC curve analysis indicated that cortisol could improve the discrimination of model with common biomarkers. + + CONCLUSION: Morning serum cortisol were negatively related to obesity defined by different indices in Chinese rural populations. In addition, cortisol could be as a biomarker for prediction of obesity in males. Copyright © 2021. Italian Society of Endocrinology (SIE). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

We classified these patients into two groups: Brunt stage >= 2 (advanced fibrosis) and 0/1 (none/mild fibrosis). A logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of advanced fibrosis. + + RESULTS: Sixteen patients had advanced fibrosis, while 56 had no/mild fibrosis. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in advanced fibrosis group was significantly higher than in none/mild fibrosis. An univariate analysis of the factors predicting advanced fibrosis showed significant differences in AST/ALT ratio, serum insulin levels, HOMA-IR, and type IV collagen 7S in the T2DM group. According to a multivariate analysis, type IV collagen 7S was an independent predictor and the cutoff value was 5.6 ng/mL. We created a flow chart; high risk (T2DM and type IV collagen 7S >= 5.6 ng/mL), moderate risk (T2DM and type IV collagen 7S < 5.6 ng/mL), and low risk (non-DM). For those at high risk, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 56.2%, 94.4%, 75.0%, and 87.9%, respectively. + + CONCLUSION: This classification system has the potential to accurately categorize the risk of liver fibrosis.

In obesity, adipose tissue inflammation, especially in the visceral fat depots, contributes to systemic inflammation and promotes the development of atherosclerosis. Adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (AFABP), a lipid chaperone abundantly secreted from the adipocytes and macrophages, is one of the key players mediating this adipose-vascular cross-talk, in part via its interaction with c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and activator protein-1 (AP-1) to form a positive feedback loop, and perpetuate inflammatory responses. In mice, selective JNK inactivation in the adipose tissue significantly reduced the expression of AFABP in their adipose tissue, as well as circulating AFABP levels. Importantly, fat transplant experiments showed that adipose-specific JNK inactivation in the visceral fat was sufficient to protect mice with apoE deficiency from atherosclerosis, with the beneficial effects attenuated by the continuous infusion of recombinant AFABP, supporting the role of AFABP as the link between visceral fat inflammation and atherosclerosis. In humans, raised circulating AFABP levels are associated with incident metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and CVD, as well as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, diabetic nephropathy and adverse renal outcomes, all being conditions closely related to inflammation and enhanced CV mortality. Collectively, these clinical data have provided support to AFABP as an important adipokine linking obesity, inflammation and CVD. This review will discuss recent findings on the role of AFABP in CVD and mortality, the possible underlying mechanisms, and pharmacological inhibition of AFABP as a potential strategy to combat CVD.

This report focuses on the description and presentation of baseline characteristics of the population. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Citizens were randomly selected from the city electoral registers (n = 30903), yielding a sample of 2554 subjects (M = 1257, F = 1297; age, 47 +/- 15 yrs; range 18-77 yrs). Men had higher prevalence of overweight or obesity (60.8% vs 41.6%; p < 0.0001) and greater thickness of visceral adipose tissue (40 +/- 19 vs 27 +/- 17 mm; p < 0.0001); no gender difference was found in subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness. Men also showed higher levels of serum triglycerides, gamma-GT, fasting blood glucose, insulin and Homa-IR Index, while HDL, CRP, and prevalence of elevated (>5.0 mg/L) CRP were lower. Compared to normal weight men, risk-ratio (RR) of CRP elevation was 1.32 (ns) in overweight and 2.68 (p < 0.0001) in obese subjects. The corresponding figures in females were 2.68 (p < 0.0001) and 5.18 (p < 0.0001). Metabolic syndrome was more frequent in men (32.7% vs 14.5%; RR: 2.24, p < 0.0001). Interadventitia common carotid artery diameter was higher in men and increased with age and BMI. + + CONCLUSIONS: The present study reports on the overall characteristics of a large population from Northern Italy. It aims to identify the associations among cardiovascular risk factors to prevent their development and progression, improve healthy lifestyle and identify subjects liable to pharmacological interventions.

For this reason, we aimed to assess and compare the diagnostic usefulness of ten anthropometric adiposity indices to predict prediabetes. Cross-sectional study with 8188 overweight subjects free of type 2 diabetes from the ILERVAS project (NCT03228459). Prediabetes was diagnosed by levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Total body adiposity indices [BMI, Clinica Universidad de Navarra-Body Adiposity Estimator (CUN-BAE) and Deurenberg's formula] and abdominal adiposity (waist and neck circumferences, conicity index, waist to height ratio, Bonora's equation, A body shape index, and body roundness index) were calculated. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the best cutoff and the prevalence of prediabetes around this value were calculated for every anthropometric index. All anthropometric indices other than the A body adiposity were higher in men and women with prediabetes compared with controls (p < 0.001 for all). In addition, a slightly positive correlation was found between indices and HbA1c in both sexes (r <= 0.182 and p <= 0.026 for all). None of the measures achieved acceptable levels of discrimination in ROC analysis (area under the ROC <= 0.63 for all). Assessing BMI, the prevalence of prediabetes among men increased from 20.4% to 36.2% around the cutoff of 28.2 kg/m2, with similar data among women (from 29.3 to 44.8% with a cutoff of 28.6 kg/m2). No lonely obesity index appears to be the perfect biomarker to use in clinical practice to detect individuals with prediabetes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.3390%2fnu13031002 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Sanchez&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Clinical+Usefulness+of+Anthropometric+Indices+to+Predict+the+Presence+of+Prediabetes.+Data+from+the+ILERVAS+Cohort.&volume=13&issue=3&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13031002&pmid=33808883&sid=OVID:medline + +<914> +Unique Identifier + 33807567 +Title + Multivariate Statistical Approach for Nephrines in Women with Obesity. +Source + Molecules. 26(5), 2021 Mar 05. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Robeva R; Nedyalkova M; Kirilov G; Elenkova A; Zacharieva S; Kudlak B; Jatkowska N; Simeonov V +Author NameID + Kudlak, Blazej; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2237-2927 + Jatkowska, Natalia; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8268-3287 + Simeonov, Vasil; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1164-9561 +Authors Full Name + Robeva, Ralitsa; Nedyalkova, Miroslava; Kirilov, Georgi; Elenkova, Atanaska; Zacharieva, Sabina; Kudlak, Blazej; Jatkowska, Natalia; Simeonov, Vasil. +Institution + Robeva, Ralitsa.

The present study aimed to establish the associations between the catecholamine metabolites and metabolic syndrome (MS) components in obese women as well as to reveal the possible hidden subgroups of patients through hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis. The 24-h urine excretion of metanephrine and normetanephrine was investigated in 150 obese women (54 non diabetic without MS, 70 non-diabetic with MS and 26 with type 2 diabetes). The interrelations between carbohydrate disturbances, metabolic syndrome components and stress response hormones were studied. Exploratory data analysis was used to determine different patterns of similarities among the patients. Normetanephrine concentrations were significantly increased in postmenopausal patients and in women with morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension but not with prediabetes. Both metanephrine and normetanephrine levels were positively associated with glucose concentrations one hour after glucose load irrespectively of the insulin levels. The exploratory data analysis showed different risk subgroups among the investigated obese women. The development of predictive tools that include not only traditional metabolic risk factors, but also markers of stress response systems might help for specific risk estimation in obesity patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0J45DE6B88 (Normetanephrine). 5001-33-2 (Metanephrine). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.3390%2fmolecules26051393 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Robeva&issn=1420-3049&title=Molecules&atitle=Multivariate+Statistical+Approach+for+Nephrines+in+Women+with+Obesity.&volume=26&issue=5&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fmolecules26051393&pmid=33807567&sid=OVID:medline + +<915> +Unique Identifier + 33795771 +Title + Association of pre- and early-pregnancy factors with the risk for gestational diabetes mellitus in a large Chinese population. +Source + Scientific Reports. 11(1):7335, 2021 04 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Zhao M; Yang S; Hung TC; Zheng W; Su X +Authors Full Name + Zhao, Min; Yang, Shuyu; Hung, Tzu Chieh; Zheng, Wenjie; Su, Xiaojie. +Institution + Zhao, Min.

This study aimed to examine the association of pre-pregnancy demographic parameters and early-pregnancy laboratory biomarkers with later GDM risk, and further to establish a nomogram prediction model. This study is based on the big obstetric data from 10 "AAA" hospitals in Xiamen. GDM was diagnosed according to the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) criteria. Data are analyzed using Stata (v14.1) and R (v3.5.2). Total 187,432 gestational women free of pre-pregnancy diabetes mellitus were eligible for analysis, including 49,611 women with GDM and 137,821 women without GDM. Irrespective of confounding adjustment, eight independent factors were consistently and significantly associated with GDM, including pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), pre-pregnancy intake of folic acid, white cell count, platelet count, alanine transaminase, albumin, direct bilirubin, and creatinine (p < 0.001). Notably, per 3 kg/m2 increment in pre-pregnancy BMI was associated with 22% increased risk [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.22, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.21-1.24, p < 0.001], and pre-pregnancy intake of folic acid can reduce GDM risk by 27% (adjusted OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.69-0.79, p < 0.001). The eight significant factors exhibited decent prediction performance as reflected by calibration and discrimination statistics and decision curve analysis. To enhance clinical application, a nomogram model was established by incorporating age and above eight factors, and importantly this model had a prediction accuracy of 87%. Taken together, eight independent pre-/early-pregnancy predictors were identified in significant association with later GDM risk, and importantly a nomogram modeling these predictors has over 85% accuracy in early detecting pregnant women who will progress to GDM later. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Albumins). 0 (Biomarkers). 935E97BOY8 (Folic Acid).

Thus, we investigated sex-specific associations of obesity and NT-proBNP levels among adults in the general healthy population in Korea. Methods and Results: The associations of age, sex and obesity-associated parameters (waist circumference [WC], body mass index [BMI] and body weight) with NT-proBNP were analyzed in 39,937 healthy adult participants. Multivariable regression models adjusted for factors known to affect NT-proBNP were used to identify associations between NT-proBNP and obesity-related parameters. NT-proBNP levels were higher in females than males. Older age was also associated with higher NT-proBNP levels in the overall population (P<0.001). When accounting for age in multivariable linear regression models, there was a strong inverse association between WC, BMI, and NT-proBNP in females and a weaker inverse association in males, with a significant difference between the sexes (P interaction <0.001). After adjusting for the effects of WC and BMI on each other, abdominal obesity was associated with lower NT-proBNP levels in females but not males (P interaction <0.001). + + CONCLUSIONS: In this large sample of young and healthy Asians, younger age, male sex, and increases in obesity-related parameters were related to lower levels of NT-proBNP. Further comprehensive studies are needed to understand the factors affecting NT-proBNP levels in different populations. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (pro-brain natriuretic peptide (1-76)). 114471-18-0 (Natriuretic Peptide, Brain). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.1253%2fcircj.CJ-20-1104 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Choi&issn=1346-9843&title=Circulation+Journal&atitle=Effects+of+Age%2C+Sex%2C+and+Obesity+on+N-Terminal+Pro+B-Type+Natriuretic+Peptide+Concentrations+in+the+General+Population.&volume=85&issue=5&spage=647&epage=654&date=2021&doi=10.1253%2Fcircj.CJ-20-1104&pmid=33790142&sid=OVID:medline + +<917> +Unique Identifier + 33788827 +Title + Value of simple clinical parameters to predict insulin resistance among newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes in limited resource settings. +Source + PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 16(3):e0248469, 2021. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Wasana KGP; Attanayake AP; Weerarathna TP; Jayatilaka KAPW +Author NameID + Weerarathna, Thilak Priyantha; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0047-6669 +Authors Full Name + Wasana, Keddagoda Gamage Piyumi; Attanayake, Anoja Priyadarshani; Weerarathna, Thilak Priyantha; Jayatilaka, Kamani Ayoma Perera Wijewardana. +Institution + Wasana, Keddagoda Gamage Piyumi.

Readily available, simple and low cost measures to identify individuals with IR is of utmost importance for clinicians to plan optimal management strategies. Research on the associations between surrogate markers of IR and routine clinical and lipid parameters have not been carried out in Sri Lanka, a developing country with rising burden of T2DM with inadequate resources. Therefore, we aimed to study the utility of readily available clinical parameters such as age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C) in the fasting lipid profile in predicting IR in a cohort of patients with newly diagnosed T2DM in Sri Lanka. + + METHODS AND FINDINGS: We conducted a community based cross sectional study involving of 147 patients (age 30-60 years) with newly diagnosed T2DM in a suburban locality in Galle district, Sri Lanka. Data on age, BMI, WC, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentration, fasting insulin concentration and serum lipid profile were collected from each subject. The indirect IR indices namely homeostasis model assessment (HOMA), quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) and McAuley index (MCA) were estimated. Both clinical and biochemical parameters across the lowest and the highest fasting insulin quartiles were compared using independent sample t-test. Linear correlation analysis was performed to assess the correlation between selected clinical parameters and indirect IR indices. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was obtained to calculate optimal cut-off values for the clinical markers to differentiate IR. BMI (p<0.001) and WC (p = 0.01) were significantly increased whereas age (p = 0.06) was decreased and TG/HDL-C (p = 0.28) was increased across the insulin quartiles. BMI and WC were significantly correlated (p<0.05) with HOMA, QUICKI and MCA. Out of the clinical parameters, age showed a borderline significant correlation with QUICKI and TG/HDL-C showed a significant correlation only with MCA. The area under ROC of BMI was 0.728 (95% CI 0.648-0.809; p<0.001) and for WC, it was 0.646 (95% CI 0.559-0.734; p = 0.003). The optimized cut-off value for BMI and WC were 24.91 kg/m2 and 81.5 cm respectively to differentiate the patients with IR or ID. Study limitations include small sample size due to recruitment of patients only from a limited geographical locality of the country and not totally excluding of the possibility of inclusion of some patients with slowly progressive type 1 DM or Latent onset diabetes of adulthood from the study population. + + CONCLUSIONS: The results revealed that there was a significant positive correlation between BMI, WC and HOMA while a significant negative correlation with QUICKI and MCA among the cohort of patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. The cut-off values of BMI and WC as 24.91 kg/m2 and 81.5 cm respectively could be used as simple clinical parameters to identify IR in newly diagnosed patients with T2DM. Our results could be beneficial in rational decision making in the management of newly diagnosed patients with T2DM in limited resource settings. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Because individuals who are overweight or obese often develop insulin resistance, mediation of the association between body mass index (BMI) and ESKD risk through the TyG index seems plausible but has not been investigated. + + Objective: To evaluate whether the TyG index is associated with ESKD risk and, if so, to what extent the TyG index mediates the association between BMI and ESKD. + + Design, Setting, and Participants: A total of 176420 individuals were recruited during routine health examinations to participate in the Austrian Vorarlberg Health Monitoring and Promotion Program (VHM&PP), a prospective, population-based cohort study with participant enrollment between January 1, 1988, and June 30, 2005, and a mean follow-up of 22.7 years. Data analysis was conducted from March 1, 2020, to September 30, 2020. + + Exposures: Body mass index and the logarithmized product of fasting triglyceride and glucose concentrations (TyG index), as determined during the baseline health examination. + + Main Outcomes and Measures: End-stage kidney disease, as indicated by initiation of kidney replacement therapy, either dialysis or kidney transplantation. + + Results: Of the 176420 participants, 94 885 were women (53.8%); mean (SD) age was 42.5 (15.4) years. During a mean (SD) follow-up of 22.7 (6.9) years, 454 (0.3%) participants developed ESKD and 35234 (20.0%) died. In multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models, the TyG index was significantly associated with the risk of ESKD, both with (hazard ratio [HR] per 1-SD increase, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.56-1.82) and without (HR per 1-SD increase, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.66-1.93) the inclusion of BMI as a covariate. Mediation analysis using a newly proposed 2-stage regression method for survival data showed that a 5-point increase in BMI increased the risk of ESKD by 58% (HR [total association], 1.58; 95% CI, 1.43-1.75), and that 41.7% of the total association (95% CI, 31.6%-51.8%) was mediated through the TyG index (HR [indirect association], 1.21; 95% CI, 1.18-1.25). + + Conclusions and Relevance: This study found that the TyG index appeared to be associated with ESKD risk and mediates nearly half of the total association between BMI and ESKD in the general population. Public health efforts aiming at the reduction of body weight might decrease the kidney sequelae of insulin resistance and the burden of ESKD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Retinoid-related orphan receptor C (RORC) is the master transcription factor for Th17 polarisation. We investigated the association of TNFA, IL17A, and RORC mRNA expression levels with the non-T2 phenotype. We conducted a cross-sectional study in adolescents, subdivided as follows: healthy (HA), allergic asthma without obesity (AA), obesity without asthma (OB), and non-allergic asthma with obesity (NAO). TNFA, IL17A, and RORC mRNA expression in peripheral blood leukocytes were assessed by RT-PCR. NAO exhibited higher TNFA mRNA expression levels than HA or OB, as well as the highest IL17A and RORC mRNA expression levels among the four groups. The best biomarker for discriminating non-allergic asthma among obese adolescents was RORC mRNA expression levels (area under the curve: 0.95). RORC mRNA expression levels were associated with the non-T2 asthma phenotype, hinting at a therapeutic target in obesity-related asthma. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

Logistic regression models were developed to identify predictors of drug allergy. + + RESULTS: A total of 84 patients completed the diagnostic workup (78.6% women; mean age 39.58 +/- 13.3 years). Drug allergy was confirmed in 39 patients and excluded in 45 (controls). Regarding body mass index, 42.2% had normal weight and 55.3% were overweight/obese. A total of 58% of women and 41% of men fulfilled the criteria for central obesity. Patients with drug allergy exhibited considerably higher body mass index, waist and hip circumferences, waist-hip ratio, fat mass, body fat percentage (BFP), trunk fat mass, leptin levels, and leptin-adiponectin ratio than controls. Similar results were obtained in the subgroup with immediate reactions, compared with the nonimmediate or unknown reactions. The higher the BFP and the number of reactions, the greater the odds of drug allergy (odds ratio [OR], 1.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.14 and OR, 2.82; 95% CI, 1.31-6.10, respectively). An immediate reaction was also a predictor of drug allergy (OR, 3.81; 95% CI, 1.30-11.14, P = .02), compared with nonimmediate or unknown reactions. In patients with drug allergy, BFP was a predictor of having an immediate reaction (OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.02-1.24, P = .02). + + CONCLUSION: Our study illustrates, for the first time, evidence of a link between obesity and drug allergy, particularly immediate reactions. The BFP emerged as a potential predictor of drug allergy. Copyright © 2021.

In particular, an increase in the intake of high-fat foods leads to obesity and associated disorders. It is noteworthy to specify that obese individuals have memory problems. This study aims to examine the effects of high-fat diet on hippocampus, with stereological, histopathological methods and STRING bioinformatic tool. + + METHODS: Female Adult Sprague Dawley rats (n = 20) were equally divided into control (CONT) and high-fat diet (HFD) groups. The control group was given standard rat pellet feed, while the high-fat diet group was fed with a 40 % fat content for 2 months. Following the feeding program, rats were sacrificed. The collected blood samples were analyzed biochemically to determine the level of oxidative stress while performing a stereological and histopathological examination of the brain tissues. Functional protein-protein networks for BDNF, C-Fos, CAT, LPO, SOD and MPO by gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis were evaluated. + + FINDINGS: The number of neurons decreased in the HFD group compared to the CONT group. Damage to the histological structure of the hippocampus region; such as degenerate neurons, damaged mitochondria and extended cisterns of the endoplasmic reticulum was observed. Although C-Fos level and oxidative stress parameters increased in HFD group, BDNF level decreased. While BDNF and C-Fos were observed in pathways related to neuron death, oxidative stress and memory, BDNF was pronounced in the mitochondria, and C-Fos in the endoplasmic reticulum. + + DISCUSSION: This study shows that changes in both BDNF and C-Fos levels in obesity due to high-fat diet increase oxidative stress and cause neuron damage in the hippocampus.

Moreover, there is an active component of oxidative stress related with those diseases. The present study relates serum OPN levels with nutritional condition and oxidative stress in a group of adolescents. Anthropometric measurements were performed, and fasting blood samples were analyzed to determine OPN concentrations, blood chemistry parameters (glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, urea, uric acid, and creatinine) and oxidative stress biomarkers (Paraoxonase-1, Glutathione S-Transferase, Catalase, NAD(P)H Quinone Oxidoreductase, free carbonyl groups and malondialdehyde). Adolescents were categorized according to body mass index (BMI) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) criteria. We found increased OPN serum concentrations in overweight and obese adolescents, as well as in adolescents with MetS. Rises in OPN correlated with arm circumference and biomarkers of lipid peroxidation; with regard to serum glucose there was a trend to positive correlation. Our results suggest that serum OPN is associated to nutritional status and could be considered as an early biomarker of low-grade inflammation and probably the early biomineralization of soft tissues in adolescence. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Triglycerides). 106441-73-0 (Osteopontin). 268B43MJ25 (Uric Acid).

In this paper, we have evaluated the influence of obesity, a condition associated with chronic systemic inflammation, on the secretion of SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG antibodies in the blood of COVID-19 patients. Our hypothesis is that obesity is associated with reduced amounts of specific IgG antibodies. Results have confirmed our hypothesis and have shown that SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies are negatively associated with Body Mass Index (BMI) in COVID-19 obese patients, as expected based on the known influence of obesity on humoral immunity. Antibodies in COVID-19 obese patients are also negatively associated with serum levels of pro-inflammatory and metabolic markers of inflammaging and pulmonary inflammation, such as SAA (serum amyloid A protein), CRP (C-reactive protein), and ferritin, but positively associated with NEFA (nonesterified fatty acids). These results altogether could help to identify an inflammatory signature with strong predictive value for immune dysfunction. Inflammatory markers identified may subsequently be targeted to improve humoral immunity in individuals with obesity and in individuals with other chronic inflammatory conditions. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antibodies). 0 (Antibodies, Viral). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Immunoglobulin A). 0 (Immunoglobulin G). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The prognostic implications of achieving NT-proBNP levels <=1000 pg/mL in obese patients with heart failure (HF) receiving biomarker-guided therapy are not completely known. We evaluated the prognostic implications of obesity and having NT-proBNP levels (<=1000 pg/mL) in the GUIDE-IT (Guiding Evidence-Based Therapy Using Biomarker-Intensified Treatment in HF) trial participants. Methods and Results The risk of adverse cardiovascular events (HF hospitalization or cardiovascular mortality) was assessed using multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models based on having NT-proBNP <=1000 pg/mL (taken as a time-varying covariate), stratified by obesity status. The study outcome was also assessed on the basis of the body mass index at baseline. The predictive ability of NT-proBNP for adverse cardiovascular events was assessed using the likelihood ratio test. Compared with nonobese patients, obese patients were mostly younger, Black race, and more likely to be women. NT-proBNP levels were 59.0% (95% CI, 39.5%-83.5%) lower among obese individuals. The risk of adverse cardiovascular events was lower in obese (hazard ratio [HR], 0.48; 95% CI, 0.29-0.59) and nonobese (HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.19-0.57) patients with HF who had NT-proBNP levels <=1000 pg/mL, compared with those who did not. There was no interaction between obesity and having NT-proBNP <=1000 pg/mL on the study outcome (P>0.10). Obese patients had a greater risk of developing adverse cardiovascular events (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.01-1.90) compared with nonobese patients. NT-proBNP was the strongest predictor of adverse cardiovascular event risk in both obese and nonobese patients. Conclusions On-treatment NT-proBNP level <=1000 pg/mL has favorable prognostic implications, irrespective of obesity status. NT-proBNP levels were the strongest predictor of cardiovascular events in both obese and nonobese individuals in this trial.

A MS risk score was defined as low, medium, and high MS risk. High WBCs were defined as a count >= 7.0 103/microL; severe obesity as body mass index Z-score >= 2 standard deviations; IR as homeostatic assessment model algorithm of IR (HOMA) >= 3.7. Stool samples were analyzed by 16S rRNA-based metagenomics. + + RESULTS: We found reduced bacterial richness of fecal microbiota in patients with IR and high diastolic blood pressure (BP). Distinct microbial markers were associated to high BP (Clostridium and Clostridiaceae), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Lachnospiraceae, Gemellaceae, Turicibacter), and high MS risk (Coriobacteriaceae), WBCs (Bacteroides caccae, Gemellaceae), severe obesity (Lachnospiraceae), and impaired glucose tolerance (Bacteroides ovatus and Enterobacteriaceae). Conversely, taxa such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Parabacterodes, Bacteroides caccae, Oscillospira, Parabacterodes distasonis, Coprococcus, and Haemophilus parainfluenzae were associated to low MS risk score, triglycerides, fasting glucose and HOMA-IR, respectively. Supervised multilevel analysis grouped clearly "variable" patients based on the MS risk. + + CONCLUSIONS: This was a proof-of-concept study opening the way at the identification of fecal microbiota signatures, precisely associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in young patients with obesity. These evidences led us to infer, while some gut bacteria have a detrimental role in exacerbating metabolic risk factors some others are beneficial ameliorating cardiovascular host health.

Liver X receptor (LXR) agonists possess preclinical efficacy yet produce side effects due to excessive lipogenesis. Anticipating that many beneficial and detrimental effects of LXR agonists are mediated by ABCA1 and SREPB1c expression, respectively, we hypothesized that a phenotypic optimization strategy prioritizing selective ABCA1 induction would identify an efficacious lead compound with an improved side effect profile over existing LXRbeta agonists. + + METHODS: We synthesized and characterized a novel small molecule for selective induction of ABCA1 vs. SREBP1c in vitro. This compound was evaluated in both wild-type mice and a high-fat diet (HFD) mouse model of obesity-driven diabetes through functional, biochemical, and metabolomic analysis. + + FINDINGS: Six weeks of oral administration of our lead compound attenuated weight gain, glucose intolerance, insulin signaling deficits, and adiposity. Global metabolomics revealed suppression of gluconeogenesis, free fatty acids, and pro-inflammatory metabolites. Target identification linked these beneficial effects to selective LXRbeta agonism and PPAR/RXR antagonism. + + INTERPRETATION: Our observations in the HFD model, combined with the absence of lipogenesis and neutropenia in WT mice, support this novel approach to therapeutic development for T2D and related conditions.

Methods: Resistin serum levels were tested by ELISA in 153 adult subjects among four characteristic Chinese adult physical examination groups. Waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SB), diastolic blood pressure (DB), and other clinical laboratory data were collected. Following, correlations between research index and differences between groups were analyzed using SPSS. Results: Serum resistin levels statistically significantly negatively correlated with SB, DB and BMI, but statistically significantly positively correlated with serum creatinine (SCR) and serum albumin (ALB), even after adjustment for age and/or gender. The serum level of resistin in the normal healthy subject group (NH) was higher than in other groups. Conclusions: Resistin's role in the onset of obesity-related hypertension may be more important than what has been previously assumed. More pathway substances in the early onset of obesity-related hypertension should be tested.

We assessed if liver and plasma EDA is associated with worsening non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese patients and evaluated plasma EDA as a biomarker for NAFLD. Using a cross-sectional study in a public hospital, patients with a body mass index >30 kg/m2 (n=152) underwent liver biopsy for histopathology assessment and fasting liver EDA mRNA. Fasting plasma EDA levels were also assessed. Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) was defined as >5% hepatic steatosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) as NAFLD activity score >=3. Patients were divided into three groups: No NAFLD (n=45); NAFL (n=65); and NASH (n=42). Liver EDA mRNA was increased in patients with NASH compared with No NAFLD (P=0.05), but not NAFL. Plasma EDA levels were increased in NAFL and NASH compared with No NAFLD (P=0.03). Plasma EDA was related to worsening steatosis (P=0.02) and fibrosis (P=0.04), but not inflammation or hepatocellular ballooning. ROC analysis indicates that plasma EDA is not a reliable biomarker for NAFL or NASH. Plasma EDA was not increased in patients with type 2 diabetes and did not correlate with insulin resistance. Together, we show that plasma EDA is increased in NAFL and NASH, is related to worsening steatosis and fibrosis but is not a reliable biomarker for NASH. Circulating EDA is not associated with insulin resistance in human obesity. + + Clinical Trial Registration: https://www.anzctr.org.au/Trial/Registration/TrialReview.aspx?ACTRN=12615000875505, identifier ACTRN12615000875505.

On the other hand, gut microbiota plays an essential role in regulating inflammatory responses. However, little is known about the potential impact of gut bacteria on OXLs metabolism. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of gut microbiota dysbiosis on plasma oxylipins profile in healthy and diet-induced obese animals. + + METHODS: Eight-week-old male Wistar rats were fed with either a standard or cafeteria diet (CAF) for 5 weeks and administered an antibiotic cocktail (ABX) in the drinking water (Ampicillin: 1 g/ml, Vancomycin: 0.5 g/ml, Imipenem: 0.25 g/ml) for the last 2 weeks in order to induce gut microbiota dysbiosis. Metabolomics analysis of OXLs in plasma was performed by HPLC-MS analysis. No antibiotic treated animals were included as controls. + + RESULTS: Plasma OXLs profile was significantly altered due to both CAF feeding and ABX administration. ABX effect was more pronounced under obesogenic conditions. Several significant correlations between different bacteria taxa and these lipid mediators were observed. Among these, the positive correlation of Proteobacteria with LTB4, a proinflammatory OXL involved in obesity-related disorders, was especially remarkable. + + CONCLUSIONS: Gut microbiota plays a key role in regulating these lipid metabolites and, therefore, affecting oxylipins-mediated inflammatory processes. These results are the first evidence to our knowledge of gut microbiota impact on OXLs metabolism. Moreover, this can set the basis for developing new obesity markers based on OXLs and gut microbiota profiles.

The objective was to determine the circulatory biomarkers for macrophage activation at baseline and after serum glucose normalization in obese type 2 diabetes (OT2D) subjects. A case-controlled interventional pilot study in OT2D (n = 23) and control subjects (n = 23). OT2D subjects underwent hyperinsulinemic clamp to normalize serum glucose. Plasma macrophage-related proteins were determined using Slow Off-rate Modified Aptamer-scan plasma protein measurement at baseline (control and OT2D subjects) and after 1-h of insulin clamp (OT2D subjects only). Basal M1 macrophage activation was characterized by elevated levels of M1 macrophage-specific surface proteins, CD80 and CD38, and cytokines or chemokines (CXCL1, CXCL5, RANTES) released by activated M1 macrophages. Two potent M1 macrophage activation markers, CXCL9 and CXCL10, were decreased in OT2D. Activated M2 macrophages were characterized by elevated levels of plasma CD163, TFGbeta-1, MMP7 and MMP9 in OT2D. Conventional mediators of both M1 and M2 macrophage activation markers (IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL-13) were not altered. No changes were observed in plasma levels of M1/M2 macrophage activation markers in OT2D in response to acute normalization of glycemia. In the basal state, macrophage activation markers are elevated, and these reflect the expression of circulatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and matrix metalloproteinases in obese individuals with type 2 diabetes, that were not changed by glucose normalisation.

Twenty subjects (10 patients with T2DM and 10 obese subjects) were recruited for the study, and randomized in a double-blinded placebo-controlled manner to consume either 1000 mg GSH per day or placebo for 3 weeks. Before and after the 3 weeks insulin sensitivity was measured with the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and a muscle biopsy was obtained to measure GSH and skeletal muscle mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) emission rate. Whole body insulin sensitivity increased significantly in the GSH group. Skeletal muscle GSH was numerically increased (~19%) in the GSH group; no change was seen in GSH to glutathione disulfide ratio. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial H2O2 emission rate did not change in response to the intervention and neither did the urinary excretion of the RNA oxidation product 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine or the DNA oxidation product 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), although 8-oxodG decreased as a main effect of time. Oral GSH supplementation improves insulin sensitivity in obese subjects with and without T2DM, although it does not alter markers of oxidative stress. The study has been registered in clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02948673). Novelty: Reduced glutathione supplementation increases insulin sensitivity in obese subjects with and without T2DM. H2O2 emission rate from skeletal muscle mitochondria was not affected by GSH supplementation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). BBX060AN9V (Hydrogen Peroxide).

We sought to determine if the obesity-resistant mouse strain (129S1/SvImJ) conferred protection from liver injury after small bowel resection (SBR). Using a parenteral nutrition-independent model of resection-associated liver injury, C57BL/6J and 129S1/SvImJ mice underwent a 50% proximal SBR or sham operation. At postoperative week 10, hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, and cholestasis were assessed. Hepatic and systemic inflammatory pathways were evaluated using oxidative markers and abundance of tissue macrophages. Potential mechanisms of endotoxin resistance were also explored. Serum lipid levels were elevated in all mouse lines. Hepatic triglyceride levels were no different between mouse strains, but there was an increased accumulation of free fatty acids in the C57BL/6J mice. Histological and serum markers of hepatic fibrosis, steatosis, and cholestasis were significantly elevated in resected C57BL/6J SBR mice as well as oxidative stress markers and macrophage recruitment in both the liver and visceral white fat in C57BL/6J mice compared with sham controls and the 129S1/SvImJ mouse line. Serum endotoxin levels were significantly elevated in C57BL/6J mice with significant elevation of hepatic TLR4 and reduction in PPARalpha expression levels. Despite high levels of serum lipids, 129S1/SvImJ mice did not develop liver inflammation, fibrosis, or cholestasis after SBR, unlike C57BL/6J mice. These data suggest that the accumulation of hepatic free fatty acids as well as increased endotoxin-driven inflammatory pathways through PPARalpha and TLR4 contribute to the liver injury seen in C57BL/6J mice with short bowel syndrome. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Unlike C57BL/6 mice, the 129S1/SvImJ strain is resistant to liver inflammation and injury after small bowel resection. These disparate outcomes are likely due to the accumulation of hepatic free fatty acids as well as increased endotoxin-driven inflammatory pathways through PPARalpha and TLR4 in C57BL/6 mice with short bowel syndrome. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Endotoxins). 0 (Fatty Acids, Nonesterified). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Gal-9 is secreted out upon cell injuries, interacts with T-cell immunoglobulin-3 (Tim-3) and induces apoptosis in activated Th1 cells. Gal-9 also binds to protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), maintains PDI on surface of T cells, and increases free thiols in the disulfide/thiol cycles. To explore the molecular mechanism of obesity, we investigated Gal-9-/- and Gal-9wt/wt C57BL/6J mice fed with high fat-high sucrose (HFHS) chow. Gal-9-/- mice were resistant to diet-induced obesity associated with reduction of epididymal and mesenteric fat tissues and improved glucose tolerance compared with Gal-9wt/wt mice. However, the number of M1, M2 macrophages, and M1/M2 ratio in epididymal fat were unaltered. Under HFHS chow, Gal-9-/- mice receiving Gal-9-/- or Gal-9wt/wt bone marrow-derived cells (BMCs) demonstrated significantly lower body weight compared with Gal-9wt/wt mice receiving Gal-9-/- BMCs. We identified the binding between Gal-9 and peroxiredoxin-2 (PRDX2) in sugar chain-independent manner by nanoLC-MS/MS, immunoprecipitation, and pull-down assay. In 3T3L1 adipocytes, Gal-9 knockdown shifts PRDX2 monomer (reduced form) dominant from PRDX2 dimer (oxidized form) under oxidative stress with H2O2. The inhibition of Gal-9 in adipocytes may be a new therapeutic approach targeting the oxidative stress and subsequent glucose intolerance in obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Galectins). 0 (LGALS9 protein, mouse). 0 (RNA, Small Interfering).

Hundred newly diagnosed, untreated patients with PCOS and 61 subjects without PCOS (41 healthy volunteers with normal BMI and 20 subjects with overweight/obese) were included in the study. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to assess the effectiveness of SHBG in predicting IR in overweight/obese and non-overweight PCOS patients and the optimal cut-off values of SHBG. The results showed negative correlations between log-SHBG and log-I0 (r = - 0.372, P < 0.001) and log-SHBG and log-Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) (r = - 0.393, P < 0.001) after adjusting for blood pressure, serum lipid, age, and body mass index (BMI) in all of the PCOS patients. In patients with IR (defined as HOMA-IR >=2.29), the area under the ROC curves (AUCs) of the SHBG for ROC analysis in the non-overweight group, overweight/obese group, and all PCOS patients were 0.774 (P = 0.0001), 0.922 (P = 0.0001), and 0.885 (P = 0.0001), respectively. The optimal cut-off value of SHBG was 37 nmol/L with a sensitivity of 97.62% and specificity of 80.85% in the overweight group. In patients with IR (HOMA-IR >=2.5), the AUCs of SHBG for ROC analysis in the non-overweight group, overweight/obese group, and all PCOS patients were 0.741 (P = 0.0003), 0.928 (P = 0.0001), and 0.880 (P = 0.0001), respectively. The optimal cut-off value of SHBG was 30.2 nmol/L with a sensitivity of 97.44% and specificity of 82.69% in the overweight/obese group. In conclusion, this study observed a negative correlation between SHBG and HOMA-IR in PCOS patients after adjustment of confounding factors. SHBG was an independent influential factor of HOMA-IR and can be used as a positive predictive marker for IR in PCOS patients, especially in those who are overweight/obese. Copyright © 2021.

This study was designed to assess prevalence, predictors and prognostic role of LV hypertrophy (LVH) in a selected group of RA patients with normal blood pressure and glycemia who should be at low risk for LVH. + + METHODS: We prospectively analyzed 241 normotensive normoglycemic RA patients (mean age 53 +/- 12 years, 61% women) involved in a primary prevention program for cardiovascular diseases who were followed-up for 40 (24-56) months. LVH was detected by echocardiography and defined as LV mass >=49.2 g/m2.7 for men and >=46.7 g/m2.7 for women. Primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death/hospitalization. + + RESULTS: LVH was detected in 39 patients (16%). Older age (>53 years), greater body mass index (BMI > 25 kg/m2 ), longer duration of RA disease, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) positivity and concentric LV geometry were the variables associated with LVH. During the follow-up, a cardiovascular event occurred in 12 of 39 (31%) patients with LVH and in 22 of 202 (11%; P < .001) patients without LVH. LVH independently predicted cardiovascular events (hazards ratio 3.28 [95% CI 1.03-9.20], P = .03) at Cox regression analysis together with C-reactive protein and ACPA positivity. + + CONCLUSIONS: Nearly one-sixth of normotensive normoglycemic RA patients analyzed in a primary prevention program for cardiovascular diseases has LVH which is associated with obesity and older age, and strongly predicts cardiovascular event in these subjects.

Although the mechanistic underpinnings of this link remain uncertain, key factors include insulin resistance, excess visceral adiposity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, and endothelial dysfunction. Of these, a state of resistance to insulin action in overweight/obese patients appears to be central to the pathophysiologic process. Given the increasing prevalence of obesity-related Type 2 Diabetes, coupled with the fact that cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of mortality in this patient population, a more thorough understanding of the cardiometabolic syndrome and potential options to mitigate its risk is imperative. Inherent in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance is an underlying state of chronic inflammation, at least partly in response to excess adiposity. Within obese adipose tissue, an immunomodulatory shift occurs, involving a preponderance of pro-inflammatory immune cells and cytokines/adipokines, along with antigen presentation by adipocytes. Therefore, various adipokines differentially expressed by obese adipocytes may have a significant effect on cardiometabolism. Clusterin is a molecular chaperone that is widely produced by many tissues throughout the body, but is also preferentially overexpressed by obese compared lean adipocytes and relates strongly to multiple components of the cardiometabolic syndrome. Herein, we summarize the known and potential roles of circulating and adipocyte-specific clusterin in cardiometabolism and discuss potential further investigations to determine if clusterin is a viable target to attenuate both metabolic and cardiovascular disease.

We examined the associations of prenatal POP exposures with body mass index (BMI) from age 4 to 18 years, and with other CM risk markers in adolescence. + + METHODS: We analysed 379 children from the Spanish INMA-Menorca birth cohort study with measured cord blood POP concentrations. We calculated BMI z-scores at ages 4, 6, 11, 14 and 18 years using the WHO growth reference. Body fat % was measured at 11 and 18 years and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and blood pressure (BP) at 11, 14 and 18 years. We measured CM biomarkers in fasting blood collected at age 14 years and calculated a CM-risk score as the sum of the sex-, and age-specific z-scores for waist circumference, mean arterial BP, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, fasting blood triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (n = 217). Generalised estimating equations and multivariate linear regression models assessed the associations with repeated and single time-point measures, respectively. + + RESULTS: Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) exposure in the third tertile, compared to the first tertile, was associated with higher BMI (beta = 0.24; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.47) and WHtR z-score (beta = 0.27; 95% CI: 0.04, 0.51). A continuous increase in HCB was associated with an elevated body fat % (beta per 10-fold increase = 4.21; 95% CI: 0.51, 7.92), systolic BP (beta = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.64) and diastolic BP z-score (beta = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.62) across all ages, and with higher CM-risk score (beta = 1.59; 95% CI: 0.02, 3.18) and lipid biomarkers (total cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)) at 14 years. Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (p,p'-DDT) exposure was non-monotonically associated with BMI and systolic BP. p,p'-DDE and SIGMA-polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (sum of congeners 118, 138, 153, 180) were not associated with adiposity or BP. p,p'-DDT exposure was associated with an increased CM-risk score, and SIGMAPCBs concentrations with LDL-C in all adolescents and with total cholesterol only in girls (p-sex interaction = 0.05). + + CONCLUSION: This first longitudinal study from 4 to 18 years suggests that the previously reported POP associations with child BMI persist later in adolescence and that prenatal POP exposures are associated with major risk factors for adult CM syndrome.

The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance and body composition especially adipose tissue in a randomized Tehrani population. + + METHODS: This study used data of 2,160 individuals registered in a cross-sectional study on were randomly selected from among subjects who were referred to nutrition counseling clinic in Tehran, from April 2016 to September 2017. Insulin resistance was calculated by homeostasis model assessment formula. The odds ratio (95% CI) was calculated using logistic regression models. + + RESULTS: The mean age of the men was 39 (+/-10) and women were 41 (+/-11) (the age ranged from 20 to 50 years). The risk of increased HOMA-IR was 1.03 (95% CI: 1.01-1.04) for an increase in one percent of Body fat, and 1.03 (95% CI: 1.00-1.05) for an increase in one percent of Trunk fat. Moreover, the odds ratio of FBS for an increase in one unit of Body fat percent and Trunk fat percent increased by 1.05 (adjusted odds ratio [95% CI: 1.03, 1.06]) and 1.05 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.08). Also, the risk of increased Fasting Insulin was 1.05 (95% CI: 1.03-1.07) for an increase in one unit of Body fat percent, and 1.05 (95% CI: 1.02-1.08) for an increase in one unit of Trunk fat percent. + + CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the present study showed that there was a significant relationship between HOMA-IR, Fasting blood sugar, Fasting Insulin, and 2 h Insulin with percent of Body fat, percent of Trunk fat.

In this paper, we confirm and extend our previous findings. We show that the plasma of individuals with obesity is enriched in autoimmune antibodies whose levels are positively associated with blood frequencies of the subset of Double Negative (DN) B cells, which is the most pro-inflammatory B cell subset. We also show that DN B cells, significantly increased in the blood of obese versus lean individuals, are characterized by higher expression of immune activation markers and of the transcription factor T-bet, both associated with autoimmunity. The removal of DN B cells from the peripheral B cell pool significantly decreases in vitro secretion of anti-self IgG antibodies. These results altogether confirm the crucial role of DN B cells in the secretion of anti-self IgG antibodies in individuals with obesity.

It remains uncertain whether the apparent protective role of obesity relates to the absence of comorbidities. Therefore, we investigated the effect of BMI on outcome in younger patients without co-morbidities as compared to older patients with co-morbidities in a large heart failure (HF) population. + + METHODS: In an individual patient data analysis from pooled cohorts, 5,819 patients with chronic HF and data available on BMI, co-morbidities and outcome were analysed. Patients were divided into four groups based on BMI (i.e. <= 18.5 kg/m2, 18.5-25.0 kg/m2; 25.0-30.0 kg/m2; 30.0 kg/m2). Primary endpoints included all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization-free survival. + + RESULTS: Mean age was 65 +/- 12 years, with a majority of males (78%), ischaemic HF and HF with reduced ejection fraction. Frequency of all-cause mortality or HF hospitalization was significantly worse in the lowest two BMI groups as compared to the other two groups; however, this effect was only seen in patients older than 75 years or having at least one relevant co-morbidity, and not in younger patients with HF only. After including medications and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin concentrations into the model, the prognostic impact of BMI was largely absent even in the elderly group with co-morbidity. + + CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that obesity is a marker of less advanced disease, but does not have an independent protective effect in patients with chronic HF. Categories of BMI are only predictive of poor outcome in patients aged > 75 years or with at least one co-morbidity (bottom), but not in those aged < 75 years without co-morbidities (top). The prognostic effect largely disappears in multivariable analyses even for the former group. These findings question the protective effect of obesity in chronic heart failure (HF). Copyright © 2021.

We determined plasma coagulation pathway protein levels in PCOS (n = 146) and control (n = 97) women recruited to a PCOS biobank. Circulating levels of a panel of 18 clotting pathway proteins were determined by Slow Off-rate Modified Aptamer-scan plasma protein measurement. Cohorts were age matched, though PCOS had elevated body mass index (p < 0.001), insulin (p < 0.001) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (p < 0.0001). Eight pro-coagulation proteins were elevated in PCOS: plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (p < 0.0001), fibrinogen (p < 0.01), fibrinogen gamma chain (p < 0.0001), fibronectin (p < 0.01), von Willebrand factor (p < 0.05), D-dimer (p < 0.0001), P-selectin (p < 0.05), and plasma kallikrein (p < 0.001). However, two anticoagulant proteins, vitamin K-dependent protein-S (p < 0.0001) and heparin cofactor-II (p < 0.001) were elevated and prothrombin was decreased (p < 0.05). CRP, as a marker of inflammation, and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) correlated with 11 and 6 of the clotting proteins, respectively (p < 0.05). When matched for BMI < 25 (16 PCOS, 53 controls) HOMA-IR remained elevated (p < 0.05) and heparin cofactor-II was increased (p < 0.05). In a multivariate analysis accounting for inflammation, insulin resistance and BMI, there was no correlation of PCOS with any of the coagulation proteins. The hypercoagulable state in PCOS is not intrinsic to the disease as it can be fully accounted for by BMI, inflammation and insulin resistance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.1038%2fs41598-021-84586-y +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Moin&issn=2045-2322&title=Scientific+Reports&atitle=Metabolic+consequences+of+obesity+on+the+hypercoagulable+state+of+polycystic+ovary+syndrome.&volume=11&issue=1&spage=5320&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.1038%2Fs41598-021-84586-y&pmid=33674695&sid=OVID:medline + +<944> +Unique Identifier + 33674561 +Title + Hyocholic acid species as novel biomarkers for metabolic disorders. +Source + Nature communications . 12(1):1487, 2021 03 05. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Zheng X; Chen T; Zhao A; Ning Z; Kuang J; Wang S; You Y; Bao Y; Ma X; Yu H; Zhou J; Jiang M; Li M; Wang J; Ma X; Zhou S; Li Y; Ge K; Rajani C; Xie G; Hu C; Guo Y; Lu A; Jia W; Jia W +Author NameID + Guo, Yike; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3075-2161 + Jia, Weiping; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6244-2168 + Jia, Wei; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3739-8994 +Authors Full Name + Zheng, Xiaojiao; Chen, Tianlu; Zhao, Aihua; Ning, Zhangchi; Kuang, Junliang; Wang, Shouli; You, Yijun; Bao, Yuqian; Ma, Xiaojing; Yu, Haoyong; Zhou, Jian; Jiang, Miao; Li, Mengci; Wang, Jieyi; Ma, Xiaohui; Zhou, Shuiping; Li, Yitao; Ge, Kun; Rajani, Cynthia; Xie, Guoxiang; Hu, Cheng; Guo, Yike; Lu, Aiping; Jia, Weiping; Jia, Wei. +Institution + Zheng, Xiaojiao.

HCA and its derivatives are also present in human blood and urine. We investigate whether human HCA profiles can predict the development of metabolic disorders. We find in the first cohort (n = 1107) that both obesity and diabetes are associated with lower serum concentrations of HCA species. A separate cohort study (n = 91) validates this finding and further reveals that individuals with pre-diabetes are associated with lower levels of HCA species in feces. Serum HCA levels increase in the patients after gastric bypass surgery (n = 38) and can predict the remission of diabetes two years after surgery. The results are replicated in two independent, prospective cohorts (n = 132 and n = 207), where serum HCA species are found to be strong predictors for metabolic disorders in 5 and 10 years, respectively. These findings underscore the association of HCA species with diabetes, and demonstrate the feasibility of using HCA profiles to assess the future risk of developing metabolic abnormalities. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholic Acids). 39016-49-4 (muricholic acid). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Physically active male volunteers (n = 120) were recruited, and plasma samples were analyzed for the clinical parameters. Triglycerides, HDL-Cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and insulin resistance were considered as markers of metabolic syndrome. The subjects were classified as 'healthy' (0 metabolic abnormalities) or 'unhealthy' (>=1 metabolic abnormalities) in their respective BMI group with a cut-off at 24.9 kg/m2. Analysis of biochemical variables was done using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits with further confirmation using western blot analysis. The microarray was conducted, followed by quantitative real-time PCR to identify and analyze differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The MHOW group constituted 12.6%, while the MUNW group constituted 32.4% of the total study population. Pro-inflammatory markers like interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and ferritin were increased in metabolically unhealthy groups in comparison to metabolically healthy groups. Gene expression profiling of MUNW and MHOW individuals resulted in differential expression of 7470 and 5864 genes, respectively. The gene ontology (GO) biological pathway analysis showed significant enrichment of the 'JAK/STAT signaling pathway' in MUNW and 'The information-processing pathway at the IFN-beta enhancer' pathway in MHOW. The G6PC3 gene has genetically emerged as a new distinct gene showing its involvement in insulin resistance. Biochemical, as well as genetic analysis, revealed that MUNW and MHOW are the transition state between healthy and obese individuals with simply having fewer metabolic abnormalities. Moreover, it is possible that the state of obesity is a biological adaptation to cope up with the unhealthy parameters. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 77238-31-4 (Interferon-beta). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein).

These brite adipocytes express thermogenin UCP1 protein and show different metabolic advantages, such as the ability to acquire a thermogenic phenotype corresponding to standard brown adipocytes that counteracts obesity. In this research, we evaluated the effects of several browning agents during white adipocyte differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Our in vitro findings identified two compounds that may warrant further in vivo investigation as possible anti-obesity drugs. We found that rosiglitazone and sildenafil are the most promising drug candidates for a browning treatment of obesity. These drugs are already available on the market for treating diabetes and erectile dysfunction, respectively. Thus, their off-label use may be contemplated, but it must be emphasized that some severe side effects are associated with use of these drugs. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Uncoupling Protein 1). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We examined interactions of obesity and hypertensionon post-MI function, remodeling, metabolic changes, and recovery. Methods and Results Male and female C57BL/6J mice were provided standard chow or high-fat/fructose diet for 8 weeks and then infused with angiotensin II for 2 weeks to induce hypertension. MI was then induced by surgical ligation of the left coronary artery for 7 days. Obesity alone did not cause cardiac injury or exacerbate hypertension-induced cardiac dysfunction. After MI, however, obese-normotensive mice had lower survival rates compared with chow-fed mice (56% versus 89% males; 54% versus 75% females), which were further decreased by hypertension (29% males; and 35% females). Surviving obese-normotensive males displayed less left ventricular dilation and pulmonary congestion compared with chow-fed males after MI; hypertension reversed left ventricular dilation because of high-fat/fructose diet and promoted significant pulmonary congestion compared with chow-fed controls. Obese-normotensive males displayed higher left ventricular alpha-MHC (alpha-myosin heavy chain) protein, phosphorylated Akt (protein kinase B) and AMPK (adenosine-monophosphate activated kinase), PPAR-gamma (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma), and plasma adiponectin levels after MI, indicating favorable contractile and metabolic changes. However, these favorable contractile and metabolic changes were attenuated by hypertension. Obese-hypertensive males also had lower levels of collagen in the infarcted region, indicating decreased ability to promote an adaptive wound healing response to MI. Conclusions Obesity reduces post-MI survival but is associated with improved post-MI cardiac function and metabolism in surviving normotensive mice. When hypertension accompanies obesity, favorable metabolic pathways associated with obesity are attenuated and post-MI cardiac function and remodeling are adversely impacted. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-34-5 (Collagen). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The functions and underlying mechanisms of exosomes in atherosclerosis have recently been intensively studied. In this review, we briefly introduce exosome biology and then focus on advances in the roles of exosomes in atherosclerosis, specifically exosomal changes associated with atherosclerosis, their cellular origins and potential functional cargos, and their detailed impacts on recipient cells. We also discuss the potential of exosomes as biomarkers and drug carriers for managing atherosclerosis.

Male and female rats were fed a low fat or high fat diet (HFD) and markers of metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) and expression of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines in visceral and subcutaneous adipose depots were measured. We hypothesized that male and female OM and S5B rats would exhibit differential responses to the consumption of HFD and that females, regardless of susceptibility to develop obesity, would display decreased obesity-related risk factors. Results suggested that consumption of HFD increased adiposity and fasting glucose levels in male OM and S5B rats, decreased circulating adiponectin levels in male S5B rats, and increased body weight and triglyceride levels in male OM rats. The consumption of HFD increased body weight and adiposity in female OM rats, not female S5B rats. Overall, female rats did not meet criteria for MetSyn, while male rats consuming HFD met criteria for MetSyn. Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue inflammation was higher in male rats. In visceral adipose tissue, HFD consumption differentially altered expression of cytokines in male and female S5B and OM rats. These findings suggest that resistance to obesity in males may be overridden by chronic consumption of HFD and lead to increased risk for development of obesity-related comorbidities, while female rats appear to be protected from the adverse effects of HFD consumption.

We determined the effects of a high-fat (HF) bean supplemented diet in mice with established obesity (induced by 12 weeks of HF diet (60% fat as kcal)) compared to obese mice consuming a HF or low-fat (LF) weight loss control diet. Obese C57BL/6 male mice remained consuming HF for eight weeks or were randomly switched from HF to an isocaloric HF with 15.7% cooked navy bean powder diet (HFaHFB) or LF (11% fat as kcal; HFaLF) (n = 12/group). HFaHFB improved the obese phenotype, including (i) fecal microbiome (increased Prevotella, Akkermansia muciniphila, and short-chain fatty acid levels), (ii) intestinal health (increased ZO-1, claudin-2, Muc2, Relmbeta, and Reg3gamma expression), and (iii) reduced adipose tissue (AT) inflammatory proteins (NFkappaBp65, STAT3, IL-6, MCP-1, and MIP-1alpha), versus HF (p < 0.05). Conversely, HFaLF reduced body weight and circulating hormones (leptin, resistin, and PAI-1) versus HF and HFaHFB (p < 0.05); however, AT inflammation and intestinal health markers were not improved to the same degree as HFaHFB (p < 0.05). Despite remaining on a HF obesogenic diet, introducing beans in established obesity improved the obese phenotype (intestinal health and adipose inflammation) more substantially than weight loss alone. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Powders). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.3390%2fnu13030757 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Monk&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Navy+Bean+Supplementation+in+Established+High-Fat+Diet-Induced+Obesity+Attenuates+the+Severity+of+the+Obese+Inflammatory+Phenotype.&volume=13&issue=3&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13030757&pmid=33652785&sid=OVID:medline + +<951> +Unique Identifier + 33648476 +Title + Circulating inflammatory markers may mediate the relationship between low carbohydrate diet and circadian rhythm in overweight and obese women. +Source + BMC Women's Health. 21(1):87, 2021 03 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Tavakoli A; Mirzababaei A; Sajadi F; Mirzaei K +Authors Full Name + Tavakoli, Atefeh; Mirzababaei, Atieh; Sajadi, Forough; Mirzaei, Khadijeh. +Institution + Tavakoli, Atefeh.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between adherence of LCD and circadian rhythm mediated by inflammatory markers including transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and Galectin-3 in overweight and obese women. + + METHODS: 304 women affected by overweight and obesity were enrolled. We evaluated LCD scores by Semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) of 147 items. The morning-evening questionnaire (MEQ) was applied to evaluate the circadian rhythm. Biochemical parameters such as inflammatory markers and anthropometric components were assessed. + + RESULTS: There was a negative significant correlation between adherence of LCD and circadian rhythm status. In other words, as the LCD scores increased, the odds of circadian rhythm disturbance in intermediate group and morning type persons decreased compared to evening type. It was showed that, IL-1beta and Galectin-3 in intermediate and morning type groups, destroyed the significance of this relationship and may be considered as mediating markers. + + CONCLUSION: Adherence of LCD can improve the circadian rhythm by reducing levels of inflammatory markers and may be considered as a treatment for obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

BAs are synthesized exclusively in the liver from cholesterol via the rate-limiting enzyme cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). BAs contribute to the solubilization and absorption of lipids and serve as important signaling molecules, capable of systemic endocrine function. Circulating BAs increase with obesity and insulin resistance, but effects following exercise and diet-induced weight loss are unknown. To test if improvements in fitness and weight loss as a result of exercise training enhance BA metabolism, we measured serum concentrations of total BAs (conjugated and unconjugated primary and secondary BAs) in sedentary, obese, insulin-resistant women (N = 11) before (PRE) and after (POST) a ~14-wk exercise and diet-induced weight loss intervention. BAs were measured in serum collected after an overnight fast and during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Serum fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19; a regulator of BA synthesis) and 7-alpha-hydroxy-cholesten-3-one (C4, a marker of CYP7A1 enzymatic activity) also were measured. Using linear mixed-model analyses and the change in VO2peak (mL/min/kg) as a covariate, we observed that exercise and weight loss intervention decreased total fasting serum BA by ~30% (P = 0.001) and increased fasting serum C4 concentrations by 55% (P = 0.004). C4 was significantly correlated with serum total BAs only in the POST condition, whereas serum FGF19 was unchanged. These data indicate that a fitness and weight loss intervention modifies BA metabolism in obese women and suggest that improved metabolic health associates with higher postabsorptive (fasting) BA synthesis. Furthermore, pre- vs. postintervention patterns of serum C4 following an OGTT support the hypothesis that responsiveness of BA synthesis to postprandial inhibition is improved after exercise and weight loss. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Exercise and weight loss in previously sedentary, insulin-resistant women facilitates a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity and fitness that may be linked to changes in bile acid metabolism. Diet-induced weight loss plus exercise-induced increases in fitness promote greater postabsorptive bile acid synthesis while also sensitizing the bile acid metabolic system to feedback inhibition during a glucose challenge when glucose and insulin are elevated. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Bile Acids and Salts). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Clinical Trial.

Fasting blood samples were collected before the study and biweekly for the duration of the project to determine the concentrations of cholesterol (CHOL), very low (VLDL), low (LDL) and high-density (HDL) lipoproteins, triglycerides, non-esterified fatty acids, and fructosamine. A low-dose oral glucose tolerance test (LGTT) was conducted before, 75 and 150 days after HD introduction. Mean arterial blood pressure was measured monthly. Following HD introduction, CHOL, LDL, HDL, and fructosamine blood concentrations increased (P < 0.001). These four variables were also positively and significantly correlated with the blood insulin response to LGTT. These findings confirm the occurrence of hypercholesterolemia concomitantly with insulin dysregulation development in horses exposed to HD. Copyright © 2021.

We aimed to examine the differences in the distribution of leukocyte-related parameters between older adults with MHO and MUO and the correlations of leukocyte-related parameters with individual components of metabolic abnormality. In the Weitang Geriatric Diseases Study on older Chinese adults aged 60 years or above, 404 individuals with MHO and 480 with MUO contributed to the analysis. Overweight/obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 or more. MHO and MUO were discriminated based on the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria. Leukocyte-related parameters were assessed using an automated hematology analyzer. All leukocyte-related parameters except monocytes were elevated in MUO group compared with MHO group (all P < 0.05). The prevalence of MUO increased by 24% with each 109/L increase of leukocytes after adjusting for confounders in the multiple-adjusted model (P < 0.01) and each unit elevation of other parameters except lymphocytes and monocytes were significantly associated with the presence of MUO (all P < 0.01). Trend tests revealed a linear trend for the association between MUO and all the leukocyte-related parameters (all P for trend < 0.05). Significant interactions between leukocyte-related parameters and sex on the presence of MUO were observed (all P value for interaction < 0.05). Higher leukocyte-related parameters were found in patients with MUO than those with MHO and were associated with higher prevalence of MUO which seems to be sex-dependent. Further studies are needed to see whether these parameters could be used as biomarkers for the screening or diagnosis for MUO in clinical or public health practice. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We sought to identify biomarkers predictive of type 2 diabetes remission and amount of weight loss in individuals with severe obesity enrolled in the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (LABS) and the Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) studies. Targeted mass spectrometry-based profiling of 135 metabolites was performed in pre-intervention blood samples using a nested design for diabetes remission over five years (n = 93 LABS, n = 80 Look AHEAD; n = 87 remitters), and for extremes of weight loss at five years (n = 151 LABS; n = 75 with high weight loss). Principal components analysis (PCA) was used for dimensionality reduction, with PCA-derived metabolite factors tested for association with both diabetes remission and weight loss. Metabolic markers were tested for incremental improvement to clinical models, including the DiaRem score. Two metabolite factors were associated with diabetes remission: one primarily composed of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and tyrosine (odds ratio (95% confidence interval) [OR (95% CI)] = 1.4 [1.0-1.9], p = 0.045), and one with betaine and choline (OR [95% CI] = 0.7 [0.5-0.9], p = 0.02). These results were not significant after adjustment for multiple tests. Inclusion of these two factors in clinical models yielded modest improvements in model fit and performance: in a constructed clinical model, the C-statistic improved from 0.87 to 0.90 (p = 0.02), while the net reclassification index showed improvement in prediction compared to the DiaRem score (NRI = 0.26, p = 0.0013). No metabolite factors associated with weight loss at five years. Baseline levels of metabolites in the BCAA and trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO)-microbiome-related pathways are independently and incrementally associated with sustained diabetes remission after weight loss interventions in individuals with severe obesity. These metabolites could serve as clinically useful biomarkers to identify individuals who will benefit the most from weight loss interventions. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids, Branched-Chain). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Methylamines). 3SCV180C9W (Betaine). 42HK56048U (Tyrosine).

The relatedness between eight PAH metabolites and RA in the whole population and different subgroups was tested using multivariable logistic regression analyses. This study included 6297 participants, including 400 RA patients and 5897 non-RA control participants, with full data. Compared to the lowest quartiles, risk of RA was increased in population with the highest quartiles of 1-hydroxynaphthalene (1-NAP), 2-NAP, 2-hydroxyfluorene (2-FLU), and 3-FLU in a bias factor corrected model. The associations between urinary PAH metabolites and RA were prominent in female, young and middle-aged, obese, smoking and alcohol-consuming populations in the subgroup analysis. Our results demonstrated that PAH exposure was related to RA, and the relationship between urinary PAH metabolites and RA differed between subgroups and depended on specific PAH metabolites.

ACCES (ACute and Chronic Effects of Saxagliptin) was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, controlled phase 2, pilot study aiming to examine in obese patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) the acute effects and the effects after 12 weeks of treatment by saxagliptin on glucose levels at fasting and postprandially after a standard breakfast, and on glucose tolerance. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: We included 24 obese patients with IGT. Patients were randomized to receive saxagliptin 5 mg or placebo in the morning. The treatment was taken on Visit 1 before breakfast, then continued for 12 weeks. Biochemical measurements were performed before, one, two and three hours after a standard breakfast including 75 g of carbohydrates, during Visit 1 and Visit 2 (12 weeks). Glucose variability (GV) was evaluated at Visit 1 from 24-h continuous glucose monitoring including the breakfast. A second OGTT was performed at Visit 3 (3-5 days after Visit 2). Compared with placebo-treated patients, saxagliptin-treated patients had lower 1 h and 2 h post-meal plasma glucose levels at Visit 1 and similar changes at Visit 2 (p < 0.01 to p < 0.004), with lower GV indexes after breakfast at Visit 1. At Visit 3, all patients but one in saxagliptin group and only 4 patients in placebo group turned to normal glucose tolerance. Lower glucose response to breakfast at Visit 1 was predictive of recovery of glucose tolerance. + + CONCLUSION: Saxagliptin has metabolically beneficial effects in glucose-intolerant obese patients by significantly lowering postprandial blood glucose levels. + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT01521312: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01521312.

Several strategies for weight loss have been developed but most of them exhibit a post-intervention rebound effect. Here, we aimed to design combined weight-loss strategies of caloric restriction, physical exercise, and administration of a CB1 receptor blocker to inhibit food intake that also accomplish the objectives of lost-weight maintenance and improvement of cardiovascular and renal function. Diet-induced obesity (DIO) was generated in Sprague Dawley rats for 12 weeks to test the effects of single or combined strategies (i.e. caloric restriction, mixed training protocol, and/or administration of appetite suppressant) on caloric intake, body weight, cardiovascular and renal functionality resulting from a weight-loss intervention period of 3 weeks followed by 6 weeks of weight maintenance. Consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) caused a significant increase in body weight (5th week of the experimental period) and led to the development of insulin resistance, cardiovascular, and renal alterations. The different interventions tested, resulted in a significant body weight loss and improved glucose metabolism, aerobic capacity, electrocardiographic parameters, vascular expression of adhesion molecules and inflammatory mediators, and renal functionality, reaching values similar to the control normocaloric group or even improving them. Successful maintenance of lost weight was achieved along a 6-week maintenance period in addition to adequate health status. In conclusion, the weight-loss and maintenance intervention strategies tested were efficient at reversing the obesity-related alterations in body weight, glucose metabolism, aerobic capacity, cardiovascular and renal functionality. The beneficial action was very consistent for caloric restriction and physical exercise, whereas administration of a CB1 receptor blocker complemented the effects of the prior interventions in some parameters like body weight or aerobic capacity, and showed specific actions in renal status, increasing glomerular filtration rate and diuresis. Overall, the novelty of our study relies on the easy implementation of combined strategies for effective weight management that resulted in significant health benefits. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Receptor, Cannabinoid, CB1).

It could play a crucial role in the development of insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this study was to investigate the circulating levels of neopterin in different stages of glucose dysregulation from obesity through prediabetes to newly diagnosed diabetes. Methods: Neopterin levels were determined using a commercially available human enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. The homeostasis model assessment of IR was used as an index to assess IR. Results: The sample consisted of 163 subjects with mean age 52.5 +/- 11.3 years, divided in three age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched groups-obesity, prediabetes, and diabetes. The control group consisted of 42 healthy individuals. Neopterin levels were significantly higher in patients with obesity and/or prediabetes and newly diagnosed diabetes than those in the control group, respectively (4.14 +/- 2.51; 4.04 +/- 2.80 and 2.17 +/- 1.93 vs. 0.87 +/- 0.84; P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the level of neopterin positively correlated with BMI, waist, waist-to-stature ratio, waist-to-hip ratio, fasting glucose, and triglycerides. Receiver operating characteristic analysis established neopterin suitable for distinguishing subjects with obesity [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.83; P < 0.001] and carbohydrate disturbances (AUC = 0.59; P < 0.05) from those without these conditions. Neopterin >=0.47 ng/mL have an odds ratio (OR) of 2.71 for development of dysglycemia, whereas threshold value of neopterin >=0.56 ng/mL shows an OR of 5.94 for development of obesity. Conclusion: The levels of neopterin were increased in patients with obesity and carbohydrate disturbances. Further studies will elucidate the role of the biomarker in development of T2D and its complications. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 670-65-5 (Neopterin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

These factors can lead to poor musculoskeletal health. However, whether metabolic abnormalities such as osteoporosis occurred in archaeological populations of Tonga is unknown. We employed a microscopic investigation of femur samples to establish whether bone loss afflicted humans in this Pacific region approximately 3000 years ago. Histology, laser confocal microscopy, and synchrotron Fourier-transform infrared microspectroscopy were used to measure bone vascular canal densities, bone porosity, and carbonate and phosphate content of bone composition in eight samples extracted from adult Talasiu males and females dated to 2650 BP. Compared to males, samples from females had fewer vascular canals, lower carbonate and phosphate content, and higher bone porosity. Although both sexes showed evidence of trabecularised cortical bone, it was more widespread in females (35.5%) than males (15.8%). Our data suggest experiences of advanced bone resorption, possibly as a result of osteoporosis. This provides first evidence for microscopic bone loss in a sample of archaeological humans from a Pacific population widely afflicted by metabolic conditions today. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Carbonates). 0 (Phosphates). +Publication Type + Historical Article.

This study aims to compare the effects of PM2.5 on inflammation and platelet activation in obese versus normal-weight adults, and investigate potential causal pathways. We conducted a panel study measuring blood markers in 44 obese and 53 normal-weight adults on 3 separate occasions in 2017-2018. Associations between PM2.5/black carbon (BC) and biomarkers were estimated using mixed-effect models. An interaction analysis compared PM2.5/BC-related effects between subgroups. Biomarker combinations and mediation analysis were performed to elucidate the biological pathways. There was a significant "low-high-low" trend of PM2.5 levels across the 3 study periods. Increases in pro-inflammatory cytokines and changes of platelet activation and aggregation markers were associated with PM2.5/BC in obese subgroup only. Among obese subjects, the combination of pro-inflammatory cytokines and that of platelet markers increased 26.8% (95% CI: 16.0%, 37.9%) and 14.7% (95% CI: 1.9%, 27.0%) per IQR increase in PM2.5 over 5-day and 7-day averages. Inflammation mediated 24.5% of the pathways through which PM2.5 promoted platelet activation. This study suggested obese people are susceptible to pro-thrombotic impacts of PM2.5 exposures. PM2.5 may aggravate thrombosis through obesity-related inflammation. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V.

Moreover, we studied whether reversion reduced cardiovascular risk. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: From the population-based KORA S4/F4/FF4 cohort study conducted in Southern Germany, we utilized data from the second and third visit to the study center (median follow-up 6.5 years). We used two overlapping data sets, one with 563 persons with HbA1c<6.5% (mean age 69 years, 51.5% men), one with 510 persons with glucose-based prediabetes or normal glucose tolerance. We calculated proportions of reversion, and estimated adjusted relative risks for the association between initial BMI/WC and change of BMI/WC, respectively, and reversion (and persistence of normoglycaemia, respectively). We estimated 10-year cardiovascular risks using the Framingham 2008 score. Overall, 27.3% of persons with HbA1c-defined prediabetes and 9.2% of persons with glucose-based prediabetes returned to normoglycaemia during follow-up. Lower initial BMI/WC and reduction of BMI/WC were associated with larger probabilities of returning to normoglycaemia (e.g., for HbA1c 5.7-6.4%, RR = 1.24 (95% CI: 1.09-1.41) per 1 kg/m2 decline of BMI). Moreover, reduction of BMI/WC increased probabilities of maintaining normoglycaemia (e.g., for glucose-based prediabetes, RR = 1.09 (1.02-1.16) per 1 kg/m2 decline of BMI). 10-year cardiovascular risk was 5.6 (1.7-9.6) percentage points lower after reversion from glucose-based prediabetes to normoglycaemia. + + CONCLUSION: In older adults, even moderate weight reduction contributes to reversion from prediabetes to normoglycaemia and to maintaining normoglycaemia.

All models assessing the effect of EATV on plaque were adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking status, family history of coronary artery disease, and obesity (body mass index of >=30 kg/m2 ). Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated. + + RESULTS: Mean +/- SD log-transformed EATV was similar in patients with RA (4.69 +/- 0.36) and controls (4.70 +/- 0.42). EATV was higher in RA patients with atherosclerosis compared to those without atherosclerosis (P = 0.046). In stratified analyses, EATV was associated with the number of segments with plaque in RA patients (rate ratio 1.20 [95% CI 1.01-1.41] per 1-SD increment of log-unit increase in EATV) but not in controls (P for interaction = 0.089). Likewise, EATV (per 1-SD log-unit increase) was related to the presence of multivessel or obstructive disease (OR 1.63 [95% CI 1.04-2.61]), noncalcified plaque (OR 1.78 [95% CI 1.17-2.70]), and vulnerable plaque (OR 1.77 [95% CI 1.03-3.04]) in RA patients but not in controls (P for interaction <= 0.048 for each). Among RA patients, EATV was associated with the number of segments with plaque in those with RA for <10 years who did not develop any cardiovascular risk factors and who were not obese (P for interaction <= 0.017). + + CONCLUSION: Despite similar EATVs in RA patients and controls, EATVs were associated with greater plaque burden and presence of plaques with a noncalcified component and vulnerability features only in RA patients. EAT may be more pathogenic in RA and play a role in early-stage atherosclerosis. Its value as a biomarker of subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk in RA warrants further studies.

On the other hand, the relationship between bone diseases and obesity remains unclear. An increasing number of biological and epidemiological studies suggest the presence of a link between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis, however, the precise molecular pathways underlying this close association remain poorly understood. The present work thus aimed to study Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), as a proposed link between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis in high fat diet fed rats. + + METHODS AND FINDINGS: 40 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control, untreated atherosclerosis group, atherosclerotic rats treated with carvedilol (10mg/kg/d) and atherosclerotic rats treated with alendronate sodium (10mg/kg/d). After 8 weeks, blood samples were collected for estimation of Lipid profile (Total cholesterol, HDL, TGs), inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-alpha, CRP and NO) and Bone turnover markers (BTMs) (Alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin and pyridinoline). Rats were then euthanized and the aortas and tibias were dissected for histological examination and estimation of MMP-9, N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and NF-kB expression. Induction of atherosclerosis via high fat diet and chronic stress induced a significant increase in BTMs, inflammatory markers and resulted in a state of dyslipidaemia. MMP-9 has also shown to be significantly increased in the untreated atherosclerosis rats and showed a significant correlation with all measured parameters. Interestingly, Carvedilol and bisphosphonate had almost equal effects restoring the measured parameters back to normal, partially or completely. + + CONCLUSION: MMP-9 is a pivotal molecule that impact the atherogenic environment of the vessel wall. A strong cross talk exists between MMP-9, cytokine production and macrophage function. It also plays an important regulatory role in osteoclastogenesis. So, it may be a key molecule in charge for coupling CVD and bone diseases in high fat diet fed rats. Therefore, we suggest MMP-9 as a worthy molecule to be targeted pharmacologically in order to control both conditions simultaneously. Further studies are needed to support, to invest and to translate this hypothesis into clinical studies and guidelines. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Collagen Type I). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (Procollagen). 0K47UL67F2 (Carvedilol).

In these prespecified secondary analyses of the LYDIA trial, we examined the impact of the GLP-1RA liraglutide (1.8 mg once-daily) and the DPP4i sitagliptin (100 mg once-daily) on circulating cardiovascular biomarkers associated with atherosclerotic risk, including circulating progenitor cells (CPCs). LYDIA was a 26-week, randomized, active-comparator trial in 61 adults with type 2 diabetes and obesity (mean +/- SD: age 43.8 +/- 6.5 years, body mass index 35.3 +/- 6.4 kg/m2 , HbA1c 7.5% +/- 0.83% [58.5 +/- 9.1 mmol/mol]). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and stromal cell-derived factor-1-alpha (SDF-1a), both of which are implicated in endothelial function, were higher at 26 weeks with liraglutide therapy compared with sitagliptin (mean between-group difference [95% CI]: 77.03 [18.29, 135.77] pg/mL, p = .010; and 996.25 [818.85, 1173.64] pg/mL, p < .001, respectively). There were no between-group differences in CPCs, nitric oxide, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, tumour necrosis factor alpha and advanced glycation end-products. These analyses suggest a favourable impact of liraglutide on VEGF and SDF-1a levels compared with sitagliptin. These factors may therefore be implicated in the differential cardiovascular effects observed between these agents in large cardiovascular outcome trials. However, these are secondary analyses from a previous trial and thus hypothesis-generating. Purposive trials are required to examine these findings further.

We studied the response to High Protein (HP) versus High Carbohydrate (HC) Diets in terms of incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP, the hunger hormone ghrelin and BNP, which is associated with cardiac function. We hypothesized that HP diets induce more pronounced release of glucose lowering hormones, suppress hunger and improve cardiac function. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: 24 obese women and men with prediabetes were recruited and randomized to either a High Protein (HP) (n = 12) or High Carbohydrate (HC) (n = 12) diet for 6 months with all food provided. OGTT and MTT were performed and GLP-1, GIP, Ghrelin, BNP, insulin and glucose were measured at baseline and 6 months on the respective diets. Our studies showed that subjects on the HP diet had 100% remission of prediabetes compared to only 33% on the HC diet with similar weight loss. HP diet subjects had a greater increase in (1) OGTT GLP-1 AUC(p = 0.001) and MTT GLP-1 AUC(p = 0.001), (2) OGTT GIP AUC(p = 0.005) and MTT GIP AUC(p = 0.005), and a greater decrease in OGTT ghrelin AUC(p = 0.005) and MTT ghrelin AUC(p = 0.001) and BNP(p = 0.001) compared to the HC diet at 6 months. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that the HP diet increases GLP-1 and GIP which may be responsible in part for improved insulin sensitivity and beta cell function compared to the HC diet. HP ghrelin results demonstrate the HP diet can reduce hunger more effectively than the HC diet. BNP and other CVRF, metabolic parameters and oxidative stress are significantly improved compared to the HC diet. CLINICALTRIALS. + + GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT01642849.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of a 12-month lifestyle intervention with different fibre profiles (resistant starch (RS)-rich fibre, or ordinary food fibre profiles) on adipocytokine levels. Fifty participants are divided into two groups (RS group and Fibre group). The groups differ only in the percentage of the recommended level of the RS consumed as a fraction of the same total fibre amount. The applied dietary intervention includes intake of 7531 KJ/daywith a total fibre portion of 25-35 g/dayfor both groups that includes 15 g/day of RS for the RS group only. The levels of leptin, adiponectin, apelin, resistin, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and C-reactive protein (CRP) are measured, and their relationship to anthropometric and biochemical parameters is estimated. Along with significant body weight loss, only leptin is significantly reduced by 13% in the RS group while in the Fibre group, apelin levels are significant (-21%). Polynomial regression shows a negative correlation between RS intake and adiponectin (R2 = 0.145) and resistin level (R2 = 0.461) in the RS group. This study indicates the possibility that fibre fractions differently influence the outcome of lifestyle interventions, as well as their adipocytokine levels, in obese prediabetic adults. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Apelin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Fiber). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Resistant Starch). 0 (Resistin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.3390%2fnu13020487 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Dodevska&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=The+Impact+of+Diet+and+Fibre+Fractions+on+Plasma+Adipocytokine+Levels+in+Prediabetic+Adults.&volume=13&issue=2&spage=&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fnu13020487&pmid=33540682&sid=OVID:medline + +<968> +Unique Identifier + 33540559 +Title + Peripheral Blood miRome Identified miR-155 as Potential Biomarker of MetS and Cardiometabolic Risk in Obese Patients. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 22(3), 2021 Feb 02. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Cerda A; Amaral AA; de Oliveira R; Moraes TI; Braga AA; Graciano-Saldarriaga ME; Fajardo CM; Hirata TDC; Bonezi V; Campos-Salazar AB; Dorea EL; Bernik MMS; Hirata MH; Hirata RDC +Author NameID + Cerda, Alvaro; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3428-8332 + Hirata, Thiago Dominguez Crespo; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3967-8121 +Authors Full Name + Cerda, Alvaro; Amaral, Adonai Aralim; de Oliveira, Raquel; Moraes, Tamiris Invencioni; Braga, Aecio Assuncao; Graciano-Saldarriaga, Magda Elizabeth; Fajardo, Cristina Moreno; Hirata, Thiago Dominguez Crespo; Bonezi, Vivian; Campos-Salazar, Antony Brayan; Dorea, Egidio Lima; Bernik, Marcia Martins Silveira; Hirata, Mario Hiroyuki; Hirata, Rosario Dominguez Crespo. +Institution + Cerda, Alvaro.

Small-RNA sequencing was used to assess the peripheral blood miRNome of 12 obese subjects (6 MetS and 6 non-MetS). Differentially expressed miRNAs and target genes were further analyzed by qPCR in a larger sample of obese patients (48 MetS and 32 non-MetS). miRNA:mRNA interactions were studied using in silico tools. miRNome analysis identified 10 downregulated miRNAs in MetS compared to non-Met patients (p < 0.05). In silico studies revealed three miRNAs (miR-155, miR-181a, and let-7a) and their predictive targets (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta-CEBPB, KRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase-KRAS and suppressor of cytokine signaling 1-SOCS1) with a potential role in the insulin receptor signaling pathway. miR-155 expression was reduced and CEBPB mRNA levels were increased in MetS patients (p < 0.05), and these effects were correlated with the number of MetS diagnostic criteria (p < 0.05). Increased HOMA-IR (>7.6) was associated with low miR-155 levels, high CEBPB expression, and serum hsCRP (p < 0.05). miR-155 was negatively correlated with CEBPB, HOMA-IR, and plasma fibrinogen, and positively correlated with serum adiponectin (p < 0.05). Downregulation of circulating miR-155 is associated with insulin resistance, poor glycemic control, and increased MetS-related cardiometabolic risk, and these effects are potentially mediated by interaction with CEBPB. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein-beta). 0 (CEBPB protein, human). 0 (MAS1 protein, human). 0 (MIRN155 microRNA, human). 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (Proto-Oncogene Mas). 9001-32-5 (Fibrinogen).

However, none of the lipocalin family members has made the step into clinical development, mostly due to their complex biological activity and the lack of in-depth mechanistic knowledge. Here, we show that the hepatokine lipocalin 13 (LCN13) triggers glucose-dependent insulin secretion and cell proliferation of primary mouse islets. However, inhibition of endogenous LCN13 expression in lean mice did not alter glucose and lipid homeostasis. Enhanced hepatic secretion of LCN13 in either diet-induced or genetic obesity led to no discernible impact on systemic glucose and lipid metabolism, neither in preventive nor therapeutic setting. Of note, loss or forced LCN13 hepatic secretion did not trigger any compensatory regulation of related lipocalin family members. Together, these data are in stark contrast to the suggested gluco-regulatory and therapeutic role of LCN13 in obesity, and imply complex regulatory steps in LCN13 biology at the organismic level mitigating its principal insulinotropic effects.

However, effects of RAGE-aptamer on tubular damage remain unknown. We examined whether RAGE-aptamer inhibited tubular damage in KKAy/Ta mice, obese type 2 diabetic mice with insulin resistance. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Male 8-week-old KKAy/Ta mice received continuous intraperitoneal infusion of either control-aptamer or RAGE-aptamer for 8 weeks. Blood biochemistry and blood pressure, and urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) activity and albumin excretion levels were monitored. Kidney and adipose tissue samples were obtained for immunohistochemical analyses. + + RESULTS: Although RAGE-aptamer did not affect blood glucose, blood pressure, body weight, or serum creatinine values, it significantly inhibited the increase in urinary NAG activity and HOMA-IR in diabetic mice at 12 and 16 and at 16 weeks old, respectively. Furthermore, compared with control-aptamer-treated mice, renal carboxymethyllysine, RAGE, and NADPH oxidase-driven superoxide generation were significantly decreased in RAGE-aptamer-treated mice at 12 weeks old with subsequent amelioration of histological alterations in glomerular and interstitial area, while adipose tissue adiponectin expression was increased. + + CONCLUSION: Our present results suggest that RAGE-aptamer could inhibit tubular injury in obese type 2 diabetic mice partly by suppressing the AGE-RAGE-oxidative stress axis and improving insulin resistance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Ager protein, mouse). 0 (Aptamers, Nucleotide). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycation End Products, Advanced). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products).

The aim of this study was to assess the differences between overweight and obese children in terms of anthropometric, low-grade systemic inflammation, liver impairment and atherosclerotic risk. We performed a study on 132 children aged between 5 and 18 years, divided according to the BMI into 2 groups: group 1 to 76 obese children, and group 2 to 56 overweight children, assessing anthropometric, laboratory and elastography parameters. We obtained significantly higher values of anthropometric parameters in obese children versus overweight ones. We found higher levels of leukocytes, lymphocytes, AST, ALT, and E median (P = .0345, P = .0103, P < .0001, P = .0008 and P < .0001) in the obese group as compared to the overweight one. BMI was positively correlated with neutrophils, NLR, ESR, glycemia, anthropometric parameters, and E median (P = .0007/<.0001/.0018/.0044/<.0001/<.0001/<.0001/<.0001/<.0001/.0204); and negatively with lymphocytes and HDL-cholesterol (r = -0.2747/-0.2181, P = .0116/.0120). Our study underlined significant differences between overweight and obese children in terms of inflammatory status and liver impairment suggesting that the risk is directly related to the increase in BMI.

Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome/interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta) pathway promotes white adipose tissue (WAT) dysfunction and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is regulated by LDL receptors (LDLR and CD36). We hypothesized that: (a) normocholesterolemic subjects with lower plasma PCSK9, identifying those with higher WAT surface-expression of LDLR and CD36, have higher activation of WAT NLRP3 inflammasome and T2D risk factors, and; (b) LDL upregulate adipocyte NLRP3 inflammasome and inhibit adipocyte function. + + METHODOLOGY: Post hoc analysis was conducted in 27 overweight/ obese subjects with normal plasma LDL-C and measures of disposition index (DI during Botnia clamps) and postprandial fat metabolism. WAT was assessed for surface-expression of LDLR and CD36 (immunohistochemistry), protein expression (immunoblot), IL-1beta secretion (AlphaLISA), and function (3 H-triolein storage). + + RESULTS: Compared to subjects with higher than median plasma PCSK9, subjects with lower PCSK9 had higher WAT surface-expression of LDLR (+81%) and CD36 (+36%), WAT IL-1beta secretion (+284%), plasma IL-1 receptor-antagonist (+85%), and postprandial hypertriglyceridemia, and lower WAT pro-IL-1beta protein (-66%), WAT function (-62%), and DI (-28%), without group-differences in body composition, energy intake or expenditure. Adjusting for WAT LDLR or CD36 eliminated group-differences in WAT function, DI, and postprandial hypertriglyceridemia. Native LDL inhibited Simpson-Golabi Behmel-syndrome (SGBS) adipocyte differentiation and function and increased inflammation. + + CONCLUSION: Normocholesterolemic subjects with lower plasma PCSK9 and higher WAT surface-expression of LDLR and CD36 have higher WAT NLRP3 inflammasome activation and T2D risk factors. This may be due to LDL-induced inhibition of adipocyte function. Copyright © 2021 The Authors.

Altogether 332 children attended the 5-year follow-up (2014-2017). Main outcome measures included growth profiles based on ponderal index (PI = weight/height3), investigated using latent class mixed models. Adiposity was assessed with anthropometrics and body composition (InBody720). + + RESULTS: We identified 3 growth profiles: ascending (n = 82), intermediate (n = 351), and descending (n = 149). Children with ascending growth had a higher body fat percentage, ISO-BMI, and waist circumference (P < .05) at age 5 years. Ascending (beta 4.09; CI, 1.60-6.58) and intermediate (beta 2.27; CI, 0.50-4.03) profiles were associated with higher fat percentage, even after adjustment for age, sex, gestational age, diet, physical activity, education, and prepregnancy BMI. Similar associations existed with ISO-BMI. After adjusting for age and education, ascending growth was associated with prepregnancy BMI (odds ratio [OR] 1.06; CI, 1.01-1.12), primiparity (OR 3.07; CI, 1.68-5.62), cesarean delivery (OR 2.23; CI, 1.18-4.21), and lifestyle intervention (OR 2.56; CI, 1.44-4.57). However, meeting the intervention goals and exclusive breastfeeding for 3 months or more were associated with lower odds of ascending growth. + + CONCLUSION: Accelerated early growth was associated with higher adiposity in 5-year-old children from high-risk pregnancies, even when adjusted for lifestyle. Reducing cesarean deliveries and promoting breastfeeding may be beneficial for postnatal growth. Copyright © The Author(s) 2021.

The cytokine S100A4 is increased in obesity and has a role in adipose tissue dysfunction. However, the cellular source and its potential role in hepatic damage in obesity has not been elucidated. + + OBJECTIVE: We aim to study the regulation of S100A4 in immune cells present in sWAT and vWAT, as well as its potential role as a circulating marker of hepatic inflammation and steatosis. + + DESIGN: A cohort of 60 patients with obesity and distinct metabolic status was analyzed. CD11b+ myeloid cells and T cells were isolated from sWAT and vWAT by magnetic-activating cell sorting, and RNA was obtained. S100A4 gene expression was measured, and correlation analysis with clinical data was performed. Liver biopsies were obtained from 20 patients, and S100A4 circulating levels were measured to check the link with hepatic inflammation and steatosis. + + RESULTS: S100A4 gene expression was strongly upregulated in sWAT- vs vWAT-infiltrated CD11b+ cells, but this modulation was not observed in T cells. S100A4 mRNA levels from sWAT (and not from vWAT) CD11b+ cells positively correlated with glycemia, triglycerides, TNF-alpha gene expression and proliferation markers. Finally, circulating S100A4 directly correlated with liver steatosis and hepatic inflammatory markers. + + CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that sWAT-infiltrated CD11b+ cells could be a major source of S100A4 in obesity. Moreover, our correlations identify circulating S100A4 as a potential novel biomarker of hepatic damage and steatosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (CD11b Antigen). 0 (S100 Calcium-Binding Protein A4). 142662-27-9 (S100A4 protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.1530%2fEJE-20-1130 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Reyes&issn=0804-4643&title=European+Journal+of+Endocrinology&atitle=White+adipose+tissue-infiltrated+CD11b%2B+myeloid+cells+are+a+source+of+S100A4%2C+a+new+potential+marker+of+hepatic+damage.&volume=184&issue=4&spage=533&epage=541&date=2021&doi=10.1530%2FEJE-20-1130&pmid=33524007&sid=OVID:medline + +<975> +Unique Identifier + 33507953 +Title + Effects of circuit training or a nutritional intervention on body mass index and other cardiometabolic outcomes in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity. +Source + PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 16(1):e0245875, 2021. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Seo YG; Lim H; Kim Y; Ju YS; Choi YJ; Lee HJ; Jang HB; Park SI; Park KH +Author NameID + Seo, Young-Gyun; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8294-1741 + Choi, Yong-Jun; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1622-3175 + Park, Kyung Hee; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9806-0076 +Authors Full Name + Seo, Young-Gyun; Lim, Hyunjung; Kim, YoonMyung; Ju, Young-Su; Choi, Yong-Jun; Lee, Hye-Ja; Jang, Han Byul; Park, Sang Ick; Park, Kyung Hee. +Institution + Seo, Young-Gyun.

Participants were grouped into three to receive usual care (usual care group), exercise intervention with circuit training (exercise group), or intensive nutritional and feedback intervention with a balanced diet (nutritional group). Primary outcome was BMI z-score, while secondary outcomes included body composition, cardiometabolic risk markers, nutrition, and physical fitness. + + RESULTS: Among the participants, 80.6% had a BMI >= the 97th percentile for age and sex. The BMI z-score of the overall completers decreased by about 0.080 after 6 months of intervention (p < 0.001). After the intervention, both exercise and nutritional groups had significantly lower BMI z-scores than the baseline data by about 0.14 and 0.075, respectively (p < 0.05). Significant group by time interaction effects were observed between exercise versus usual care group in BMI z-score (beta, -0.11; 95% confidence interval (CI), -0.20 to -0.023) and adiponectin (beta, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.58); and between nutritional versus usual care group in waist circumference (beta, -3.47; 95% CI, -6.06 to -0.89). No statistically significant differences were observed in any of the other secondary outcomes assessed. + + CONCLUSION: Multidisciplinary intervention including circuit training and a balanced diet for children and adolescents with obesity reduced the BMI z-score and improved cardiometabolic risk markers such as adiponectin and waist circumference. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Clinical Trial.

There are few reports of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) outcomes in obese patients. This study aimed to clarify this relationship. This retrospective study included patients who underwent LC at Showa University Northern Yokohama Hospital between January 2017 and April 2020. A total of 563 cases were examined and divided into two groups: obese (n = 142) (BMI >= 25 kg/m2) and non-obese (n = 241) (BMI < 25 kg/m2). The non-obese group had more female patients (54%), whereas the obese group had more male patients (59.1%). The obese group was younger (56.6 years). Preoperative laboratory data of liver function were within the normal range. The obese group had a significantly higher white blood cell (WBC) count (6420/muL), although this was within normal range. Operative time was significantly longer in the obese group (p = 0.0001). However, blood loss and conversion rate were not significantly different among the groups, neither were surgical outcomes, including postoperative hospital stay and complications. Male sex and previous abdominal surgery were risk factors for conversion, and only advanced age (>= 79 years) was an independent predictor of postoperative complications as observed in the multivariate analysis. Although the operation time was prolonged in obese patients, operative factors and outcomes were not. Therefore, LC could be safely performed in obese patients with similar efficacy as in non-obese patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.1038%2fs41598-021-81963-5 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Enami&issn=2045-2322&title=Scientific+Reports&atitle=Obesity+is+not+a+risk+factor+for+either+mortality+or+complications+after+laparoscopic+cholecystectomy+for+cholecystitis.&volume=11&issue=1&spage=2384&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.1038%2Fs41598-021-81963-5&pmid=33504891&sid=OVID:medline + +<977> +Unique Identifier + 33500513 +Title + Atorvastatin impairs liver mitochondrial function in obese Gottingen Minipigs but heart and skeletal muscle are not affected. +Source + Scientific Reports. 11(1):2167, 2021 01 26. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Christiansen LB; Dohlmann TL; Ludvigsen TP; Parfieniuk E; Ciborowski M; Szczerbinski L; Kretowski A; Desler C; Tiano L; Orlando P; Martinussen T; Olsen LH; Larsen S +Authors Full Name + Christiansen, Liselotte Bruun; Dohlmann, Tine Lovso; Ludvigsen, Trine Pagh; Parfieniuk, Ewa; Ciborowski, Michal; Szczerbinski, Lukasz; Kretowski, Adam; Desler, Claus; Tiano, Luca; Orlando, Patrick; Martinussen, Torben; Olsen, Lisbeth Hoier; Larsen, Steen. +Institution + Christiansen, Liselotte Bruun.

We investigated tissue-specific modifications of mitochondrial function in liver, heart and skeletal muscle mediated by chronic statin therapy in a Gottingen Minipig model. We hypothesized that statins enhance the mitochondrial function in heart but impair skeletal muscle and liver mitochondria. Mitochondrial respiratory capacities, citrate synthase activity, coenzyme Q10 concentrations and protein carbonyl content (PCC) were analyzed in samples of liver, heart and skeletal muscle from three groups of Gottingen Minipigs: a lean control group (CON, n = 6), an obese group (HFD, n = 7) and an obese group treated with atorvastatin for 28 weeks (HFD + ATO, n = 7). Atorvastatin concentrations were analyzed in each of the three tissues and in plasma from the Gottingen Minipigs. In treated minipigs, atorvastatin was detected in the liver and in plasma. A significant reduction in complex I + II-supported mitochondrial respiratory capacity was seen in liver of HFD + ATO compared to HFD (P = 0.022). Opposite directed but insignificant modifications of mitochondrial respiratory capacity were seen in heart versus skeletal muscle in HFD + ATO compared to the HFD group. In heart muscle, the HFD + ATO had significantly higher PCC compared to the HFD group (P = 0.0323). In the HFD group relative to CON, liver mitochondrial respiration decreased whereas in skeletal muscle, respiration increased but these changes were insignificant when normalizing for mitochondrial content. Oral atorvastatin treatment in Gottingen Minipigs is associated with a reduced mitochondrial respiratory capacity in the liver that may be linked to increased content of atorvastatin in this organ. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 1339-63-5 (Ubiquinone).

LV global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) assessed by speckle-tracking echocardiography has emerged as an important tool to detect early LV systolic abnormalities. This study aimed to investigate the association between insulin resistance and subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in a sample of the general population without overt cardiac disease. + + METHODS: We investigated 539 participants who voluntarily underwent extensive cardiovascular health check including laboratory test and speckle-tracking echocardiography. Glycemic profiles were categorized into 3 groups according to homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR): absence of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR < 1.5), presence of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR >= 1.5) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Multivariable logistic regression models were conducted to evaluate the association between abnormal glucose metabolism and impaired LVGLS (> - 16.65%). + + RESULTS: Forty-five (8.3%) participants had DM and 66 (12.2%) had abnormal HOMA-IR. LV mass index and E/e' ratio did not differ between participants with and without abnormal HOMA-IR, whereas abnormal HOMA-IR group had significantly decreased LVGLS (- 17.6 +/- 2.6% vs. - 19.7 +/- 3.1%, p < 0.05). The prevalence of impaired LVGLS was higher in abnormal HOMA-IR group compared with normal HOMA-IR group (42.4% vs. 14.0%) and similar to that of DM (48.9%). In multivariable analyses, glycemic abnormalities were significantly associated with impaired LVGLS, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and pertinent laboratory and echocardiographic parameters [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.38, p = 0.007 for abnormal HOMA-IR; adjusted OR 3.02, p = 0.003 for DM]. The independent association persisted even after adjustment for waist circumference as a marker of abdominal adiposity. Sub-group analyses stratified by body mass index showed significant association between abnormal HOMA-IR and impaired LVGLS in normal weight individuals (adjusted OR 4.59, p = 0.001), but not in overweight/obese individuals (adjusted OR 1.62, p = 0.300). + + CONCLUSIONS: In the general population without overt cardiac disease, insulin resistance carries independent risk for subclinical LV dysfunction, especially in normal weight individuals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Participants included 28024 women aged 45 years or older without known cardiovascular disease. Baseline profiles were obtained from April 30, 1993, to January 24, 1996, and analyses were conducted from October 1, 2017, to October 1, 2020. + + Exposures: More than 50 clinical, lipid, inflammatory, and metabolic risk factors and biomarkers. + + Main Outcomes and Measures: Four age groups were examined (<55, 55 to <65, 65 to <75, and >=75 years) for CHD onset, and adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) were calculated using stratified Cox proportional hazard regression models with age as the time scale and adjusting for clinical factors. Women contributed to different age groups over time. + + Results: Of the clinical factors in the women, diabetes had the highest aHR for CHD onset at any age, ranging from 10.71 (95% CI, 5.57-20.60) at CHD onset in those younger than 55 years to 3.47 (95% CI, 2.47-4.87) at CHD onset in those 75 years or older. Risks that were also noted for CHD onset in participants younger than 55 years included metabolic syndrome (aHR, 6.09; 95% CI, 3.60-10.29), hypertension (aHR, 4.58; 95% CI, 2.76-7.60), obesity (aHR, 4.33; 95% CI, 2.31-8.11), and smoking (aHR, 3.92; 95% CI, 2.32-6.63). Myocardial infarction in a parent before age 60 years was associated with 1.5- to 2-fold risk of CHD in participants up to age 75 years. From approximately 50 biomarkers, lipoprotein insulin resistance had the highest standardized aHR: 6.40 (95% CI, 3.14-13.06) for CHD onset in women younger than 55 years, attenuating with age. In comparison, weaker but significant associations with CHD in women younger than 55 years were noted (per SD increment) for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (aHR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.10-1.74), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (aHR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.36-2.04), apolipoprotein B (aHR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.52-2.35), triglycerides (aHR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.72-2.67), and inflammatory biomarkers (1.2- to 1.8-fold)-all attenuating with age. Some biomarkers had similar CHD age associations (eg, physical inactivity, lipoprotein[a], total high-density lipoprotein particles), while a few had no association with CHD onset at any age. Most risk factors and biomarkers had associations that attenuated with increasing age at onset. + + Conclusions and Relevance: In this cohort study, diabetes and insulin resistance, in addition to hypertension, obesity, and smoking, appeared to be the strongest risk factors for premature onset of CHD. Most risk factors had attenuated relative rates at older ages. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Apolipoproteins B). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Currently, no circulating biomarker has proven clinically useful for accurate prediction of GDM. In this study, we tested if a panel of small non-coding circulating RNAs could improve early prediction of GDM. We performed a nested case-control study of participants from the European multicenter 'Vitamin D and lifestyle intervention for GDM prevention (DALI)' trial using serum samples from obese pregnant women (BMI >= 29 kg/m2) entailing 82 GDM cases (early- and late- GDM), and 41 age- and BMI-matched women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) throughout pregnancy (controls). Anthropometric, clinical and biochemical characteristics were obtained at baseline (<20 weeks of gestation) and throughout gestation. Baseline serum microRNAs (miRNAs) were measured using quantitative real time PCR (qPCR). Elevated miR-16-5p, -29a-3p, and -134-5p levels were observed in women, who were NGT at baseline and later developed GDM, compared with controls who remained NGT. A combination of the three miRNAs could distinguish later GDM from NGT cases (AUC 0.717, p = 0.001, compared with fasting plasma glucose (AUC 0.687, p = 0.004)) as evaluated by area under the curves (AUCs) using Receiver Operator Characteristics (ROC) analysis. Elevated levels of individual miRNAs or a combination hereof were associated with higher odds ratios of GDM. Conclusively, circulating miRNAs early in pregnancy could serve as valuable predictive biomarkers of GDM. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MIRN134 microRNA, human). 0 (MIRN16 microRNA, human). 0 (MIRN29a microRNA, human). 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (RNA, Small Untranslated). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The objective of the present study was to compare C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, circulating levels of hepcidin, serum lipids, and iron status in obese vs. normal-weight women of childbearing age. Healthy women aged 18-30 years were recruited for the study (n = 47: 25 obese and 22 normal weight). Fasting blood samples were obtained to measure serum lipids (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol), complete blood count, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, transferrin saturation, serum ferritin, hepcidin, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6. Obese women had significantly higher mean serum C-reactive protein (p < 0.001), interleukin-6 (p < 0.001), hepcidin (p = 0.024), triglycerides (p < 0.001) and total cholesterol/HDL ratio (p < 0.001) but lower HDL (p = 0.001) and serum iron/hepcidin ratio (p = 0.011) compared with normal-weight women. BMI correlated positively with inflammatory markers, triglycerides, LDL and total cholesterol/HDL ratio, and negatively with HDL and serum iron/hepcidin ratio. Serum iron correlated negatively with ferritin in the obese group (p = 0.030) but positively in normal weight women (p = 0.002). BMI and ferritin were the only predictors of serum iron/hepcidin ratio accounting for 23% of the variation among subjects. Studies are needed to examine anti-inflammatory dietary approaches that can improve iron biomarkers in obese women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Hepcidins). 9007-73-2 (Ferritins).

We compared NT-proBNP and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in adults without OSA (n=56) and nonobese (n=73; body mass index <30 kg/m2) and obese (n=136; body mass index >=30 kg/m2) adults with OSA. We also investigated these traits in nonobese (n=45) and obese (n=78) participants with OSA adherent to 4 months of PAP treatment. At baseline, left ventricular mass to end-diastolic volume ratio, a measure of left ventricular concentricity, was greater in both nonobese and obese participants with OSA compared with those without OSA. Participants with OSA and obesity exhibited reduced phasic right atrial function. No significant differences in baseline NT-proBNP were observed across groups. The effect of PAP treatment on NT-proBNP and left atrial volume index was significantly modified by obesity. In nonobese participants, PAP therapy was associated with a decrease in NT-proBNP (P<0.0001) without a change in left atrial volume index, whereas in obese participants, PAP was associated with an increase in left atrial volume index (P=0.006) without a change in NT-proBNP. OSA was associated with left ventricular concentric remodeling independent of obesity and right atrial dysfunction in participants who were obese. PAP treatment was associated with reduced NT-proBNP in nonobese participants with OSA, but left atrial enlargement in obese participants with OSA, suggesting that PAP-induced reduction in BNP release (which is known to occur during obstructive apnea episodes) may lead to volume retention in obese participants with OSA.

Recent evidence implied the protective effects of metabolically healthy obesity on AD. We hypothesized that obesity and lipids could mitigate the detrimental impacts of AD pathological changes among metabolically healthy individuals in late life. In this study, a total of 604 metabolically healthy participants with normal cognition were included from the Chinese Alzheimer's Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) database. Multiple linear regression models were used to test the associations of body mass index (BMI) or lipids with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers after adjustment for age, gender, education, and Apolipoprotein E-e4 (APOE-e4). The results showed the lower CSF levels of total tau protein (t-tau: p = .0048) and phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau: p = .0035) in obese participants than in non-obese participants, even after correcting for covariates. Moreover in late life, higher BMI was associated with decreased CSF t-tau (beta: -0.15, p = .0145) and p-tau (beta: -0.17, p = .0052). As for lipids, higher levels of total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were associated with decreased CSF t-tau (TC: beta: -0.16, p = .0115; LDL-C: beta: -0.16, p = .0082) and p-tau (TC: beta: -0.15, p = .0177; LDL-C: beta: -0.14, p = .0225) in obese participants. Furthermore, these associations were only significant in participants with late-life obesity and APOE-e4 non-carriers. Overall, in a cognitively normal population, we found metabolically healthy obesity and lipids in late life might be protective factors for neurodegenerative changes.

Establishing the role of neuroinflammation in obesity will enhance understanding of this modifiable disorder as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. + + METHODS: We analyzed brain MRIs from 104 cognitively normal participants (CDR = 0) and biomarker negativity for CSF amyloid or tau. We classified body mass index (BMI) as normal (BMI <25, N = 62) or overweight and obese (BMI >=25, N = 42). Blood pressure was measured. BMI and blood pressure classifications were related to neuroinflammation imaging (NII) derived edema fraction in 17 white matter tracts. This metric was also correlated to hippocampal volumes and CSF biomarkers of inflammation and neurodegeneration: YKL-40, SNAP25, VILIP, tau, and NFL. + + RESULTS: Participants with BMI <25 had lower NII-derived edema fraction, with protective effects of normal blood pressure. Statistically significant white matter tracts included the internal capsule, external capsule, and corona radiata, FDR correc-ted for multiple comparisons to alpha = 0.05. Higher NII-derived edema fractions in the internal capsule, corpus callosum, gyrus, and superior fronto-occipital fasciculus were related with smaller hippocampal volumes only in individuals with BMI >=25. There were no statistically significant correlations between NII-derived edema fraction and CSF biomarkers. + + CONCLUSION: We demonstrate statistically significant relationships between neuroinflammation, elevated BMI, and hippocampal volume, raising implications for neuroinflammation mechanisms of obesity-related brain dysfunction in cognitively normal elderly. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This can lead to statistical inferences that are unreliable because the substantial overlap in their etiologic and disease mechanisms is ignored. + + AIM: This study aimed to examine the relationship of systolic blood pressure (BP) and blood glucose (BG) with measures of obesity and central fat distribution and other factors whilst taking account of the inter-dependence between them. + + METHODS: Participants (n = 14706, 53.5 % females) aged 25-64 years were selected by multi-stage stratified cluster sampling from eight provinces each representing one of the eight geographical regions of Vietnam. Measurements were made using the World Health Organization STEPS protocols. + + RESULTS: Structural modelling identified direct effects for BG (men P = 0.000, women P = 0.029), age (men P = 0.000, women P = 0.000) and body mass index (BMI) (men P = 0.000, women P = 0.000) in the estimation of systolic BP, and for systolic BP (men P = 0.036, women P = 0.000) and waist circumference (WC) (men P = 0.032, women P = 0.009) in the estimation of BG. There were indirect effects of age, cholesterol, physical activity and tobacco smoking via their influence on WC and BMI. The errors in estimation of systolic BP and BG were correlated (men P = 0.000, women P = 0.004), the stability indices (men 0.466, women 0.495) showed the non-recursive models were stable, and the proportion of variance explained was mid-range (men 0.553, women 0.579). + + CONCLUSION: This study provided statistical evidence of a feedback loop between systolic BP and BG. BMI and WC were confirmed to be their primary explanatory factors. Saturated fat intake and physical activity were identified as possible targets of intervention for overweight and obesity, and indirectly for reducing systolic BP and BG. Harmful/hazardous alcohol intake was identified as a target of intervention for systolic BP. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.1007%2fs40292-020-00431-9 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Nga&issn=1120-9879&title=High+Blood+Pressure+%26+Cardiovascular+Prevention&atitle=The+Interdependence+of+Blood+Pressure+and+Glucose+in+Vietnam.&volume=28&issue=2&spage=141&epage=150&date=2021&doi=10.1007%2Fs40292-020-00431-9&pmid=33453048&sid=OVID:medline + +<986> +Unique Identifier + 33445606 +Title + Paternal Methyl Donor Supplementation in Rats Improves Fertility, Physiological Outcomes, Gut Microbial Signatures and Epigenetic Markers Altered by High Fat/High Sucrose Diet. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 22(2), 2021 Jan 12. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Chleilat F; Schick A; Deleemans JM; Reimer RA +Author NameID + Chleilat, Faye; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0804-1611 + Deleemans, Julie M; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8645-0990 + Reimer, Raylene A; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5088-7947 +Authors Full Name + Chleilat, Faye; Schick, Alana; Deleemans, Julie M; Reimer, Raylene A. +Institution + Chleilat, Faye.

Our objective was to examine whether adding a methyl donor cocktail to paternal HF/S diet (HF/S+M) improves health status in fathers and offspring. From 3-12 weeks of age, male Sprague Dawley rats consumed a HF/S or HF/S+M diet. Offspring were followed until 16 weeks of age. Body composition, metabolic markers, gut microbiota, DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) and microRNA expression were measured in fathers and offspring. Compared to HF/S, paternal HF/S+M diet reduced fat mass in offspring (p < 0.005). HF/S+M fathers consumed 16% fewer kcal/day, which persisted in HF/S+M female offspring and was explained in part by changes in serum glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY) levels. Compared to HF/S, HF/S+M fathers had a 33% improvement in days until conception and 300% fewer stillbirths. In fathers, adipose tissue DNMT3a and hepatic miR-34a expression were reduced with HF/S+M. Adult male offspring showed upregulated miR-24, -33, -122a and -143 expression while females exhibited downregulated miR-33 expression. Fathers and offspring presented differences in gut microbial signatures. Supplementing a paternal HF/S diet with methyl-donors improved fertility, physiological outcomes, epigenetic and gut microbial signatures intergenerationally. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MicroRNAs). 106388-42-5 (Peptide YY). 57-50-1 (Sucrose). 89750-14-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide 1). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.3390%2fijms22020689 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Chleilat&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Paternal+Methyl+Donor+Supplementation+in+Rats+Improves+Fertility%2C+Physiological+Outcomes%2C+Gut+Microbial+Signatures+and+Epigenetic+Markers+Altered+by+High+Fat%2FHigh+Sucrose+Diet.&volume=22&issue=2&spage=689&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.3390%2Fijms22020689&pmid=33445606&sid=OVID:medline + +<987> +Unique Identifier + 33435884 +Title + Serum alanine aminotransferase activity and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in a Caucasian population: the Tromso study. +Source + BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. 21(1):29, 2021 01 13. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Bekkelund SI +Author NameID + Bekkelund, Svein Ivar; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8464-7199 +Authors Full Name + Bekkelund, Svein Ivar. +Institution + Bekkelund, Svein Ivar.

This study investigated associations between ALT and CVD risk factors including effects of sex and age in a Caucasian population. + + METHODS: Cross-sectional data were analysed sex-stratified in 2555 men (mean age 60.4 years) and 2858 women (mean age 60.0 years) from the population study Tromso 6. Associations were assessed by variance analysis and multivariable logistic regression of odds to have abnormal ALT. Risk factors included body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip-ratio, blood pressure, lipids, glucose, glycated haemoglobin and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (CRP). + + RESULTS: Abnormal elevated ALT was detected in 113 men (4.4%) and 188 women (6.6%). Most CVD risk factors associated positively with ALT in both sexes except systolic blood pressure and CRP (women only), while ALT was positively associated with age in men when adjusted for CVD risk factors, P < 0.001. BMI predicted ALT in men (OR 0.94; 95% CI 0.88-1.00, P = 0.047) and women (OR 0.90; 95% CI 0.86-0.95, P < 0.001). A linear inversed association between age and ALT in men and a non-linear inversed U-trend in women with maximum level between 60 and 64 years were found. + + CONCLUSION: This study confirms a positive relationship between ALT and CVD risk factors, particularly BMI. Age is not a major confounder in the ALT-CVD relationship, but separate sex-analyses is recommended in such studies. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

We performed deep metagenomic sequencing of 1,203 gut microbiomes from 1,098 individuals enrolled in the Personalised Responses to Dietary Composition Trial (PREDICT 1) study, whose detailed long-term diet information, as well as hundreds of fasting and same-meal postprandial cardiometabolic blood marker measurements were available. We found many significant associations between microbes and specific nutrients, foods, food groups and general dietary indices, which were driven especially by the presence and diversity of healthy and plant-based foods. Microbial biomarkers of obesity were reproducible across external publicly available cohorts and in agreement with circulating blood metabolites that are indicators of cardiovascular disease risk. While some microbes, such as Prevotella copri and Blastocystis spp., were indicators of favorable postprandial glucose metabolism, overall microbiome composition was predictive for a large panel of cardiometabolic blood markers including fasting and postprandial glycemic, lipemic and inflammatory indices. The panel of intestinal species associated with healthy dietary habits overlapped with those associated with favorable cardiometabolic and postprandial markers, indicating that our large-scale resource can potentially stratify the gut microbiome into generalizable health levels in individuals without clinically manifest disease. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose).

Serum insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) and IGF-II receptor (IGF2R) have been associated with diabetic status and body weight in prior studies and, in addition, IGF-II has been indicated as predictive of future weight change. We measured these serum markers in participants with obesity/overweight and prediabetes from the New Zealand arm of the PREVIEW lifestyle intervention randomised trial before and after an 8-week low energy diet (LED). + + METHODS: Total IGF-II (n = 223) and soluble IGF2R (n = 151) were measured using commercial ELISA kits on fasted serum samples taken prior to an 8-week LED and also from participants completing the LED. + + RESULTS: IGF-II levels were not correlated with baseline body weight although mean levels did significantly decrease following the LED. Change in IGF-II serum level was correlated to fasting glucose change (p = 0.04) but not to weight change. Baseline serum IGF2R was correlated with BMI (p = 0.007) and was significantly higher in Maori compared to European Caucasian participants independent of body weight (p = 0.0016). Following LED, IGF2R change was positively associated with weight change (p = 0.02) when corrected for ethnicity. Pre-LED levels of these serum markers were not predictive of the magnitude of weight loss over the 8 weeks. + + CONCLUSION: Neither marker was useful in predicting magnitude of short-term weight loss. IGF2R is positively associated with BMI and is higher in Maori compared to European Caucasian individuals. Copyright © 2021 Asia Oceania Association for the Study of Obesity.

Serum SPX concentration was measured using commercially available radioimmunoassay (RIA) in dogs with varying BCS. Spexin mRNA and protein expression were detected using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescence staining. + + RESULTS: Serum SPX concentration was lower in dogs with BCS4 (8.56 +/- 2.86) and BCS5 (6.7 +/- 2.12) compared to BCS2 (11.96 +/- 2.23) and BCS3 (10.51 +/- 2.19; BCS2 vs BCS5, P < .001 and BCS2 vs BCS4, P = .005; BCS3 vs BCS5, P = .002). Spexin mRNA was detected in adipose tissue, liver and pancreas. Spexin protein was expressed in adipose tissue and liver but not in pancreas. There were negative correlations between SPX and serum concentration of insulin (P < .05); leptin (P < .01), triglycerides (P < .01), total cholesterol (P < .01), nonesterified fatty acids (P < .01), and fructosamine (P < .01). There was a positive correlation between SPX and serum concentration of adiponectin (P < .01). + + CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Spexin could be involved in pathogenesis of obesity in dogs, and might be considered as a potential marker for obesity.

Here, a lipidomic approach was used to identify circulating markers for future obesity risk in translational murine models and validate in a human infant cohort. + + METHODS: Lipidomics was performed on the plasma of APOE*3 Leiden, Ldlr-/-.Leiden, and the wild-type C57BL/6J mice to capture candidate biomarkers predicting subsequent obesity parameters after exposure to high-fat diet. The identified candidate biomarkers were mapped onto corresponding lipid metabolism pathways and were investigated in the Cambridge Baby Growth Study. Infants' growth and adiposity were measured at 0-24 months. Capillary dried blood spots were sampled at 3 months for lipid profiling analysis. + + FINDINGS: From the mouse models, cholesteryl esters were correlated with subsequent weight gain and other obesity parameters after HFD period (Spearman's r>=0.5, FDR p values <0.05) among APOE*3 Leiden and Ldlr-/-.Leiden mice, but not among the wild-type C57BL/6J. Pathway analysis showed that those identified cholesteryl esters were educts or products of desaturases activities: stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) and fatty acid desaturase (FADS) 1 and 2. In the human cohort, lipid ratios affected by SCD1 at 3 months was inversely associated with 3-12 months weight gain (B+/-SE=-0.31+/-0.14, p=0.027), but positively with 12-24 months weight and adiposity gains (0.17+/-0.07, p=0.02 and 0.17+/-0.07, 0.53+/-0.26, p=0.04, respectively). Lipid ratios affected by SCD1 and FADS2 were inversely associated with adiposity gain but positively with height gain between 3-12 months. + + INTERPRETATION: From murine models to human setting, the ratios of circulating lipid species indicating key desaturase activities in lipid metabolism were associated with subsequent body size increase, providing a potential tool to predict early life weight gain.

Few studies have evaluated the effect of the mixed nuts consumption in the context of a LCD on inflammatory biomarkers. This study compared the effects of a nut-enriched LCD (NELCD) with a nut-free LCD (NFLCD) on body weight and inflammatory markers in overweight or obese coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. + + SUBJECTS/METHOD: In this randomized controlled parallel trial, patients with stable CAD of both genders were randomly allocated to 8-week NELCD or NFLCD. Body weight, plasma C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin 10 (IL-10), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1) were assessed at baseline and 8 weeks. + + RESULTS: Overall, 67 patients (aged 58.8 +/- 7.4 years; BMI 30.9 +/- 3.9 kg/m2) completed the study. Participants in both groups lost weight to a comparable extent. Patients in the NELCD group showed a decrease in ICAM-1 (p = 0.04) and IL-6 (p = 0.02) concentrations compared to NFLCD group. No significant difference in concentrations of MCP-1, IL-10, or CRP was observed between diet groups. + + CONCLUSIONS: Nuts are healthy energy-dense foods that if included in controlled amounts in a weight management program can still result in weight reduction and may improve some plasma concentration of inflammatory factors, such as ICAM-1 and IL-6. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

All individuals had fully completed information records encompassing standardized electronic medical records, physical examinations, and biochemical measurements. Metabolic health was defined as fewer than 2 parameters of the MetS were present, in combination with normal weight. Continuous variables which were normally distributed were expressed as means and standard deviation. Comparisons among normally distributed continuous variables were made using one-way ANOVA while that among non-normal distribution parameters were made using Kruskal-Wallis. The association between parity and MetS was analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. All of the analyses were performed with SPSS statistical software (Version 23.0, SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and the statistical software package EmpowerStats ( http://www.empowerstats.com , X&Y Solutions, Inc., Boston, MA). + + RESULTS: After adjusting for potential confounding factors including hip circumference, parity was failed to show a significantly relationship with MetS in normal-weight women(P=0.054). Women with a higher parity (>=3) had an increased OR of abdominal obesity, while the OR (95% CI) of the parity 3 group was 2.06 (1.13, 3.77) and that of the parity >=4 group was 3.08(1.42, 6.66) the P for trend was 0.002 after adjusting for potential confounding factors. No significant differences were detected for other metabolic disorders including high levels of triglycerides (TG), blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in different parity groups. + + CONCLUSIONS: Higher parity was not associated with a higher risk of MetS in normal weight Chinese postmenopausal women. As for the components of MetS, only waist circumference was associated with multiparity even after controlling for hip circumference. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.1186%2fs12902-020-00674-6 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Shi&issn=1472-6823&title=BMC+Endocrine+Disorders&atitle=The+association+between+parity+and+metabolic+syndrome+and+its+components+in+normal-weight+postmenopausal+women+in+China.&volume=21&issue=1&spage=8&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.1186%2Fs12902-020-00674-6&pmid=33413314&sid=OVID:medline + +<994> +Unique Identifier + 33413091 +Title + The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and associated risk factors in Al-Kharj population, Saudi Arabia: a cross-sectional survey. +Source + BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. 21(1):22, 2021 01 07. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Al-Zahrani J; Shubair MM; Al-Ghamdi S; Alrasheed AA; Alduraywish AA; Alreshidi FS; Alshahrani SM; Alsalamah M; Al-Khateeb BF; Ashathri AI; El-Metwally A; Aldossari KK +Author NameID + Shubair, Mamdouh M; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4758-072X + Al-Ghamdi, Sameer; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0506-0574 + Alshahrani, Saeed Mastour; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2714-7785 + Al-Khateeb, Badr F; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9824-7148 + El-Metwally, Ashraf; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5575-0077 + Aldossari, Khaled K; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3265-8651 +Authors Full Name + Al-Zahrani, Jamaan; Shubair, Mamdouh M; Al-Ghamdi, Sameer; Alrasheed, Abdullah A; Alduraywish, Abdulrahman A; Alreshidi, Fayez Saud; Alshahrani, Saeed Mastour; Alsalamah, Majid; Al-Khateeb, Badr F; Ashathri, Aljawharah Ibraheem; El-Metwally, Ashraf; Aldossari, Khaled K. +Institution + Al-Zahrani, Jamaan.

A report conducted by the American Heart Association showed the prevalence of HC to be 11.9%, with around 28.5 million adults age >= 20 years having high cholesterol levels. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HC and its associated risk factors among the general population of Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia. + + METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the general population of Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia in 2016. The representative sample consisted of 1019 individuals, who all participated on a voluntary basis. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25. + + RESULTS: The results of this study showed the prevalence of HC in the sample to be 12.5%. There was a significant moderate positive association between increasing age and the prevalence of HC (r = 0.240, P < 0.0001). Males had a significantly higher prevalence of HC (56.7%) compared to their female counterparts (43.3%) (X2 = 23.093, P <= 0.0001). BMI was positively and significantly associated with high cholesterol status. Participants in the overweight category had a significantly higher risk of HC (OR = 1.727; 95% CI = 1.58-1.914; P = 0.046). The non-obese (< 25 kg/m2) participants had an inverse significant association with the risk of hypercholesterolemia. (OR = 0.411; 95% CI = 0.216-0.783; P = 0.007). + + CONCLUSION: In this population-based study, the predominant risk factors of HC in Al-Kharj region were being of a Saudi nationality, male, having obesity, being unemployed, and being a civilian worker. There is a clear need for future screening studies of HC, as most previous studies have reported contradictory prevalence data (because they were conducted in different regions of KSA). Furthermore, well-designed prospective cohort studies are needed in the future to assess how the association between lifestyle behavioural factors such as dietary intake patterns and levels of physical activity may affect the relative risk of HC status. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Simple anthropometric indices may serve as surrogate markers of these conditions with population-based cut-off values. The present study suggests the cut-off values of waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and body mass index (BMI) in early prediction of PCOS and IR in PCOS women based in Kolkata, a major metropolitan city in India. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 66 women (aged 16-30 years) from Kolkata, India, with confirmed PCOS, using Rotterdam criteria. IR was defined following the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA). Anthropometric and biochemical data were obtained using standard protocol and compared among the PCOS subjects grouped as per IR prevalence, BMI, and WHtR values. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was applied to evaluate and compare the cut-off values of WHtR and BMI in the prediction of PCOS and IR in women with PCOS. + + RESULTS: As per ROC analysis, WHtR showed significantly higher AUC in the detection of PCOS and IR in PCOS subjects respectively, than that of BMI. The cut-off values of WHtR and BMI for PCOS were 0.560 and 28.47 respectively, and for IR in PCOS patients, were 0.620 and 29.14 respectively. + + CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests a cut-off value of WHtR to be used as an inexpensive and noninvasive screening tool for early prediction of PCOS and IR among PCOS afflicted women based in Kolkata, India and for this prediction, the study also claims WHtR as a better index than BMI. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.1007%2fs12020-020-02555-3 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Bhattacharya&issn=1355-008X&title=Endocrine&atitle=Waist-to-height+ratio+and+BMI+as+predictive+markers+for+insulin+resistance+in+women+with+PCOS+in+Kolkata%2C+India.&volume=72&issue=1&spage=86&epage=95&date=2021&doi=10.1007%2Fs12020-020-02555-3&pmid=33400176&sid=OVID:medline + +<996> +Unique Identifier + 33390322 +Title + The role of obesity in inflammatory markers in COVID-19 patients. +Source + Obesity Research & Clinical Practice. 15(1):96-99, 2021 Jan-Feb. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + McNeill JN; Lau ES; Paniagua SM; Liu EE; Wang JK; Bassett IV; Selvaggi CA; Lubitz SA; Foulkes AS; Ho JE +Authors Full Name + McNeill, Jenna N; Lau, Emily S; Paniagua, Samantha M; Liu, Elizabeth E; Wang, Jessica K; Bassett, Ingrid V; Selvaggi, Caitlin A; Lubitz, Steven A; Foulkes, Andrea S; Ho, Jennifer E. +Institution + McNeill, Jenna N.

Given both COVID-19 infection and obesity have been associated with increased systemic inflammation, we evaluated inflammatory markers in obese and non-obese individuals hospitalized for COVID-19 at Massachusetts General Hospital. We hypothesized that obese patients would have a more exuberant inflammatory response as evidenced by higher initial and peak inflammatory markers along with worse clinical outcomes. Of the 781 patients, 349 were obese (45%). Obese individuals had higher initial and peak levels of CRP and ESR as well as higher peak d-dimer (P < 0.01 for all) in comparison to non-obese individuals, while. IL-6 and ferritin were similar. In addition, obese individuals had a higher odds of requiring vasopressor use (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.00-2.38, P = 0.05), developing hypoxemic respiratory failure (OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.04-2.40, P = 0.03) and death (OR 2.20, 95% CI 1.31-3.70, P = 0.003) within 28 days of presentation to care. Finally, higher baseline levels of CRP and D-dimer were associated with worse clinical outcomes even after adjustment for BMI. Our findings suggest greater disease severity in obese individuals is characterized by more exuberant inflammation. Copyright © 2020 Asia Oceania Association for the Study of Obesity.

We described the associations between obesity, fasting insulinemia, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and LVH in Black patients with essential hypertension. + + METHODS: A case-control study was conducted at the Centre Medical de Kinshasa (CMK), the Democratic Republic of the Congo, between January and December 2019. Cases and controls were hypertensive patients with and without LVH, respectively. The relationships between obesity indices, physical inactivity, glucose metabolism and lipid disorder parameters, and LVH were assessed using linear and logistic regression analyses in simple and univariate exploratory analyses, respectively. When differences were observed between LVH and independent variables, the effects of potential confounders were studied through the use of multiple linear regression and in conditional logistic regression in multivariate analyses. The coefficients of determination (R2), adjusted odds ratios (aORs), and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated to determine associations between LVH and the independent variables. + + RESULTS: Eighty-eight LVH cases (52 men) were compared against 132 controls (81 men). Variation in left ventricular mass (LVM) could be predicted by the following variables: age (19%), duration of hypertension (31.3%), body mass index (BMI, 44.4%), waist circumference (WC, 42.5%), glycemia (20%), insulinemia (44.8%), and HOMA-IR (43.7%). Hypertension duration, BMI, insulinemia, and HOMA-IR explained 68.3% of LVM variability in the multiple linear regression analysis. In the logistic regression model, obesity increased the risk of LVH by threefold [aOR 2.8; 95% CI (1.06-7.4); p = 0.038], and IR increased the risk of LVH by eightfold [aOR 8.4; 95 (3.7-15.7); p < 0.001]. + + CONCLUSION: Obesity and IR appear to be the primary predictors of LVH in Black sub-Saharan African hypertensive patients. The comprehensive management of cardiovascular risk factors should be emphasized, with particular attention paid to obesity and IR. A prospective population-based study of Black sub-Saharan individuals that includes the use of serial imaging remains essential to better understand subclinical LV deterioration over time and to confirm the role played by IR in Black sub-Saharan individuals with hypertension. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.1186%2fs12872-020-01829-y +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Kianu+Phanzu&issn=1471-2261&title=BMC+Cardiovascular+Disorders&atitle=Association+between+insulin+resistance+and+left+ventricular+hypertrophy+in+asymptomatic%2C+Black%2C+sub-Saharan+African%2C+hypertensive+patients%3A+a+case-control+study.&volume=21&issue=1&spage=1&epage=&date=2021&doi=10.1186%2Fs12872-020-01829-y&pmid=33388039&sid=OVID:medline + +<998> +Unique Identifier + 33380172 +Title + Impact of Age, Menopause, and Obesity on Oxylipins Linked to Vascular Health. +Source + Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis & Vascular Biology. 41(2):883-897, 2021 02. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Pauls SD; Du Y; Clair L; Winter T; Aukema HM; Taylor CG; Zahradka P +Authors Full Name + Pauls, Samantha D; Du, Youjia; Clair, Luc; Winter, Tanja; Aukema, Harold M; Taylor, Carla G; Zahradka, Peter. +Institution + Pauls, Samantha D.

The loss of cardioprotection in older women may be due to an increase in arterial stiffness after menopause. Free fatty acid metabolites of polyunsaturated fatty acids, called oxylipins, are known to impact vessel function and may be responsible for the vascular benefits of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The objectives of this study were to compare the plasma oxylipin profiles of young females (20-55 years), older females (55+), and older males (55+) and to identify associations between oxylipins and cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as obesity and arterial stiffness. Approach and Results: We quantified plasma oxylipins by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in archived samples taken from completed clinical trials. We identified 3 major 12-lipoxygenase products, 12-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid, 12-hydroxy-eicosapentaenoic acid, and 14-hydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid, that are present at high levels in young females compared with older females and males. These oxylipins also decreased with obesity and displayed robust negative associations with arterial stiffness as assessed by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity. According to multiple linear regression modeling, these associations were maintained even after correcting for body mass index category combined with either age, menopausal status, or estradiol levels. Using linear discriminant analysis, the combination of these 3 oxylipins effectively distinguished participants according to both brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity risk group and age. + + CONCLUSIONS: Higher 12-lipoxygenase oxylipin plasma concentrations associated with lower arterial stiffness in premenopausal females may be an important contributing factor to sex differences in cardiovascular disease.

Methods and Results Youth in this study (N=271; aged 8-20 years) were classified into normal weight (body mass index [BMI] percentage <85th; n=114), obesity (BMI percentage >=95th to <120% of the 95th; n=63), and severe obesity (BMI percentage >=120% of the 95th; n=94) catagories. CEC enumeration was determined using immunohistochemical examination of buffy coat smears and activated CEC (percentage of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression) was assessed using immunofluorescent staining. Cardiovascular risk factors included measures of body composition, blood pressure, glucose, insulin, lipid profile, C-reactive protein, leptin, adiponectin, oxidized low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, carotid artery intima-media thickness, and pulse wave velocity. Linear regression models examined associations between CEC number and activation with BMI and cardiovascular risk factors. CEC number did not differ among BMI classes (P>0.05). Youth with severe obesity had a higher degree of CEC activation compared with normal weight youth (8.3%; 95% CI, 1.1-15.6 [P=0.024]). Higher CEC number was associated with greater body fat percentage (0.02 per percentage; 95% CI, 0.00-0.03 [P=0.020]) and systolic blood pressure percentile (0.01 per percentage; 95% CI, 0.00-0.01 [P=0.035]). Higher degree of CEC activation was associated with greater visceral adipose tissue (5.7% per kg; 95% CI, 0.4-10.9 [P=0.034]) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (0.11% per mg/dL; 95% CI, 0.01-0.21 [P=0.039]). Conclusions Methods of CEC quantification are associated with adiposity and cardiometabolic risk factors and may potentially reflect accelerated atherosclerosis as early as childhood. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The data revealed that GlS and GlL contained different levels of flavonoids and total phenol. Furthermore, the results showed the extracts exhibited remarkable antioxidation activities and inhibitory activities of alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase. In silico docking studies were done using Gold software and the probable molecules retrieved from PubChem were docked with several anti-diabetic relate targets, the results showed several components of G. linii could potentially inhibit diabetic molecules when compared with clinic drugs. The cell glucose uptake data also confirmed that GlL and GlS could retain the active component in the regulation of insulin, AMPK, PPARgamma, and DPP4. In vivo, the evidence showed G. linii extracts including syringaldehyde suppressed effect of hyperglycemia on OSTT and OGTT assays. These results suggest that G. linii extract has a potential therapeutic value for the treatment of diabetes in humans. Copyright © 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS..

Human studies support that dietary navy bean intake modulates metabolism by the gut microbiome. This study investigated the effect of navy bean ingestion on plasma and urine metabolite profiles of overweight and obese colorectal cancer survivors. Twenty participants completed a single-blinded, randomized-controlled dietary intervention with precooked navy beans (35 g bean powder/day) or control (0 g/day) for 4 weeks. Plasma and urine were collected at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks following consumption. Nontargeted metabolomics was applied to study meals and snacks, navy beans, plasma, and urine. Increased navy bean consumption was hypothesized to (i) delineate dietary biomarkers and (ii) promote metabolic shifts relevant for cancer protection in the plasma and urine metabolome. At 4 weeks, 16 plasma and 16 urine metabolites were significantly different in the navy bean intervention group compared with placebo control (P < 0.05). Increased plasma 2,3-dihydroxy-2-methylbutyrate (1.34-fold), S-methylcysteine (1.92-fold), and pipecolate (3.89-fold), and urine S-adenosylhomocysteine (2.09-fold) and cysteine (1.60-fold) represent metabolites with cancer-protective actions following navy bean consumption. Diet-derived metabolites were detected in plasma or urine and confirmed for presence in the navy bean intervention meals and snacks. These included 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, betaine, pipecolate, S-methylcysteine, choline, eicosapentaenoate (20:5n3), benzoate, S-adenosylhomocysteine, N-delta-acetylornithine, cysteine, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)lactate, gentisate, hippurate, 4-hydroxyhippurate, and salicylate. The navy bean dietary intervention for 4 weeks showed changes to pathways of metabolic importance to colorectal cancer prevention and merit continued attention for dietary modulation in future high-risk cohort investigations. PREVENTION RELEVANCE: This clinical study suggests that increased consumption of navy beans would deliver bioactive metabolites to individuals at high risk for colorectal cancer recurrence and produce metabolic shifts in plasma and urine profiles.

Certain probiotic strains have shown anti-obesity effects. The objective of this study was to investigate whether Bifidobacterium longum APC1472 has anti-obesity effects in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice and whether B. longum APC1472 supplementation reduces body-mass index (BMI) in healthy overweight/obese individuals as the primary outcome. B. longum APC1472 effects on waist-to-hip ratio (W/H ratio) and on obesity-associated plasma biomarkers were analysed as secondary outcomes. + + METHODS: B. longum APC1472 was administered to HFD-fed C57BL/6 mice in drinking water for 16 weeks. In the human intervention trial, participants received B. longum APC1472 or placebo supplementation for 12 weeks, during which primary and secondary outcomes were measured at the beginning and end of the intervention. + + FINDINGS: B. longum APC1472 supplementation was associated with decreased bodyweight, fat depots accumulation and increased glucose tolerance in HFD-fed mice. While, in healthy overweight/obese adults, the supplementation of B. longum APC1472 strain did not change primary outcomes of BMI (0.03, 95% CI [-0.4, 0.3]) or W/H ratio (0.003, 95% CI [-0.01, 0.01]), a positive effect on the secondary outcome of fasting blood glucose levels was found (-0.299, 95% CI [-0.44, -0.09]). + + INTERPRETATION: This study shows a positive translational effect of B. longum APC1472 on fasting blood glucose from a preclinical mouse model of obesity to a human intervention study in otherwise healthy overweight and obese individuals. This highlights the promising potential of B. longum APC1472 to be developed as a valuable supplement in reducing specific markers of obesity. + + FUNDING: This research was funded in part by Science Foundation Ireland in the form of a Research Centre grant (SFI/12/RC/2273) to APC Microbiome Ireland and by a research grant from Cremo S.A.

The pathogenesis of NAFLD is not fully elucidated. Besides weight gain and insulin resistance, many other factors seem to contribute, including adipokines, gut microbiota and genetic predisposition. The disease starts as hepatic steatosis, which may proceed to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); if fibrosis is added, the risk of cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma is augmented. Liver biopsy is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis and staging of NAFLD; the early use of reliable and easily applied diagnostic tools, such as noninvasive biomarkers, is needed to identify patients at different-preferably early-stages of disease however. Whilst lifestyle modification is the first step to manage NAFLD, there is poor compliance, leading to the need of drug therapy. Accordingly, a variety of medications is under investigation. Given the multifaceted pathophysiology of NAFLD, probably, a combination of approaches in an individualized basis may be a more appropriate management. This review summarizes evidence on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD. Copyright © 2020 IMSS. Published by Elsevier Inc.

However, its effect has not been evaluated to date in patients with myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS). + + METHODS: From January 2010 to June 2019, of a total of 35,269 adult patients with postoperative cardiac troponin level data, 5633 (16.0%) patients had MINS as diagnosed by postoperative cardiac troponin I above the 99th-percentile upper reference of 40 ng.L-1 using the TnI-Ultra immunoassay. Patients with MINS were divided into 3 groups according to body mass index (BMI), with 3246 (57.6%) were in the normal (18.5-25 kg.m-2), 425 (7.5%) in the low BMI (<18.5 kg.m-2), and 1962 (34.8%) in the high BMI (>=25 kg.m-2) groups, respectively. The primary outcome was mortality during the first year after surgery, and the mortality during 30 days was also compared. + + RESULTS: Following adjustment for confounding with inverse probability of treatment weighting, mortality within the first year appeared to be significantly lower in the high BMI group compared with the normal (14.8% vs 20.9%; hazard ratio [HR], 0.75; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.66-0.85; P < .001) and the low BMI (14.8% vs 25.6%; HR: 0.56; 95% CI, 0.48-0.66; P < .001) groups. + + CONCLUSIONS: High BMI may be associated with decreased mortality following MINS. Further investigations are needed to support this finding.

Conversely, aerobic training (AT) has been suggested as non-pharmacological tool to improve liver steatosis, however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the effect of 8-weeks AT in non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD) outcomes in obese mice. Male C57BL/6 J wild type (WT) were fed with standard (SD) or high-fat diet (HFD) for 12-weeks. Another group fed with HFD underwent 8-weeks of AT (60% of maximum velocity), initiated at the 5th week of experimental protocol. We measured metabolic, body composition parameters, protein and gene expression inflammatory and metabolic mediators. We found that AT attenuates the weight gain, but not body fat accumulation. AT improved triacylglycerol and non-esterified fatty acid plasma concentrations, and also whole-body insulin resistance. Regarding NAFLD, AT decreased the progression of macrovesicular steatosis and inflammation through the upregulation of AMPK Thr172 phosphorylation and PPAR-alpha protein expression. Moreover, although no effects of intervention in PPAR-gamma protein concentration were observed, we found increased levels of its target genes Cd36 and Scd1 in exercised group, demonstrating augmented transcriptional activity. AT reduced liver cytokines concentrations, such as TNF-alpha, IL-10, MCP-1 and IL-6, regardless of increased Ser536 NF-kappaB phosphorylation. In fact, none of the interventions regulated NF-kappaB target genes Il1b and Cccl2, demonstrating its low transcriptional activity. Therefore, we conclude that AT attenuates the progression of liver macrovesicular steatosis and inflammation through AMPK-PPAR-alpha signaling and PPAR-gamma activation, respectively, improving insulin resistance in obese mice.

Anatomically restructuring of the gastrointestinal system has recently been an important subject of research in the treatment of MetS and closely related diseases. The aim of this study is to ensure the remission of parameters that define MetS by ileal interposition (IT) and to examine the effect of IT on plasma total GLP-1 and pancreatic GLP-1R expression. + + MAIN METHODS: To induce MetS, newborn male Wistar albino rats were given MSG (4 g/mg) on days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. The control group was injected with saline. In the 5th month, IT or sham surgery was performed on the MetS rats. The lipid levels, abdominal obesity, insulin level, OGTT, Lee index, HOMA-IR, plasma GLP-1 and pancreas GLP-1R expression were evaluated 2 months after surgery. + + KEY FINDINGS: The results showed that IT significantly improved hyperinsulinemia (p = 0.013) and lipid profile (TG p = 0.0001; TCHOL p = 0.018; HDL p = 0.001). Furthermore, it normalized the Lee index (p = 0.006) and insulin resistance. The IT did not affect the secretion of the GLP-1, but the expression levels of pancreas GLP-1R were increased (p = 0.006). + + SIGNIFICANCE: IT surgery corrected the MetS parameters in this rat model. The healing effects of IT surgery could be caused by mechanisms in the target tissues of insulin. The decrease in pancreatic GLP-1R levels in the MetS groups might be a compensatory response to the harmful effects of hyperinsulinemia in these groups. These results show that IT can be useful in the treatment of MetS. Copyright © 2020. Published by Elsevier Inc. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Flavoring Agents).

The subtype of NAFLD that can be classified as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) can progress to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis. Because of the metabolic nature of the pathogenic mechanism underlying NAFLD and NASH, it is often accompanied by common comorbidities such as obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The increase in the prevalence of these comorbidities has resulted in a parallel increase in the prevalence of NAFLD and NASH, globally, nationally, and even in children. In recent years, it has been identified that the stage of fibrosis is the most important predictor of liver outcomes; therefore, identifying patients with NAFLD and NASH with more advanced stages of fibrosis can be essential for optimal management. Several noninvasive tools for diagnosing and staging NAFLD and NASH are available, but simple and straightforward recommendations on the use of these tools are not. Recognizing these unmet needs, hepatologists who are members of the American College of Gastroenterology and the Chronic Liver Disease Foundation created a practical decision tree/algorithm to risk stratify NAFLD/NASH as a resource in gastroenterology/hepatology clinical practices. This review will provide insight into how this algorithm was developed, describe it in detail, and provide recommendations for its use in clinical practice. Copyright © 2020 The Author(s).

CMS is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and development of diabetes. Due to its multifactorial etiology, the development of several animal models to simulate CMS has contributed significantly to the elucidation of the disease pathophysiology and the design of therapies. In this review we aimed to present the most common mouse models used in the research of CMS. We found that CMS can be induced either by genetic manipulation, leading to dyslipidemia, lipodystrophy, obesity and IR, or obesity and hypertension, or by administration of specific diets and drugs. In the last decade, the ob/ob and db/db mice were the most common obesity and IR models, whereas Ldlr-/- and Apoe-/- were widely used to induce hyperlipidemia. These mice have been used either as a single transgenic or combined with a different background with or without diet treatment. High-fat diet with modifications is the preferred protocol, generally leading to increased body weight, hyperlipidemia, and IR. A plethora of genetically engineered mouse models, diets, drugs, or synthetic compounds that are available have advanced the understanding of CMS. However, each researcher should carefully select the most appropriate model and validate its consistency. It is important to consider the differences between strains of the same animal species, different animals, and most importantly differences to human when translating results. Copyright Thieme.

Obesity is characterized by leptin resistance, which contributes to increased risk of all-cause mortality. Therefore, lifestyle factors, such as physical fitness, that lower leptin independent of adiposity may be confounding the obesity paradox. To investigate this, we evaluated whether physical fitness moderated the relationship between leptin and adiposity. We found older adults with higher fitness had lower body mass (r(39) = -0.43, p < 0.01), leptin (r(39) = -0.29, p = 0.03) and inflammation (IL-1beta: (r(39) = -0.69, p < 0.01); TNF-alpha: (r(39) = -0.30, p = 0.03)). Fitness moderated the relationship between leptin and adiposity (F(5, 37) = 3.73, p < 0.01, R2 = 0.33) to reveal the obesity paradox in moderately and high fit individuals (b = 216.24, t(37) = 1.46, p = 0.15; b= -88.10, t(37) = -0.49, p = 0.63) but not in low fit individuals. These results show the link between obesity and mortality may not be dependent on total adiposity, but rather on endocrine function and adipocyte leptin secretion. These results have important implications for older adults struggling to maintain healthy body composition and suggest that fitness may promote overall wellbeing. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

The aim of this study was to assess serum concentration of sCD36 in children with obesity and to determine its diagnostic value in pediatric NAFLD. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study group consisted of 50 children with obesity aged 8-17.5 years, admitted to our Department because of suspected liver pathology. Selected liver diseases were excluded in the examined group. Anthropometry, laboratory tests (including the concentration of sCD36) and liver ultrasound, were performed in all subjects. + + RESULTS: NAFLD was confirmed in 16 out of 50 patients with obesity. There was significantly higher activity of ALT, AST, GGT, and increased waist-hip ratio WHR in individuals with NAFLD in comparison to non-hepatopathic children with obesity. We did not find a significant difference between sCD36 concentration in patients with obesity and NAFLD and non-hepathopathic patients with obesity. We also did not find a significant difference between sCD36 concentration in children with obesity in comparison to the control group and between mild (grade 1) vs. advanced (grade >=2) steatosis. Correlation of sCD36 concentration with anthropometric, biochemical, and bioimpedance parameters in children with obesity was confirmed only with body fat percentage. + + CONCLUSIONS: sCD36 is not a suitable parameter to differentiate children with NAFLD from non-hepatopathic children with obesity and controls without obesity. Further studies on a larger pediatric population are needed to confirm these findings. Copyright © 2020 Medical University of Bialystok. Published by Elsevier B.V.

While there is a sizable amount of data demonstrating that obesity is a state of low-grade inflammation, to our knowledge, there is no single review summarizing its effects on hematologic parameters and thrombotic risk. We performed a literature search which largely surfaced observational studies, with a few systematic reviews and meta-analyses of these studies. We took care to review the mechanisms driving an inflammatory state and obesity's effect on white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, and thrombotic risk. There is an observed relative, and sometimes absolute leukocytosis driven by this inflammatory state. Obesity is also associated with increased platelet counts and an increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Lastly, the association between obesity, iron deficiency (ID), and red blood cell counts may be present but remains uncertain. Recognizing the above associations may provide clinicians with reassurance regarding otherwise unexplained hematologic abnormalities in obese individuals. We hope this review will prompt future studies to further understand the underlying mechanisms driving these abnormalities and identify modifiable risk factors and potential therapeutic targets to prevent the development of probable obesity-associated conditions with significant morbidity and mortality, such as ID and VTE.

We prepared the polysaccharide fraction of radish greens (PRG) and assessed its anti-obesity activity in high fat diet (HFD)-induced obese C57BL/6J mice. Supplementation with 4 mg/kg PRG reduced weight gain and body fat percentage, and regulated serum biomarkers against HFD-induced obesity. Moreover, PRG treatment improved gut permeability by increasing tight junction protein expression and colon length shortening. HFD intake increased the proportion of Firmicutes and decreased the proportion of Bacteroidetes and Verrucomicrobia; however, PRG supplementation maintained gut microbial composition to normal diet condition. Moreover, PRG reduced HFD-induced increase of lipid metabolism-related protein expression, along with adipocyte size in white adipose tissue. These results indicated that PRG as a potential prebiotic, has anti-obesity properties by improving gut barrier function, modulating gut microbiota and regulating lipid metabolism.

The Olink platform measured 92 protein markers in baseline plasma samples. Data were collected from June 2004 to January 2016 and analyzed from January 2019 to June 2020. + + Exposures: Measured body mass index (BMI) obtained during the baseline survey and genetically instrumented BMI derived using 571 externally weighted single-nucleotide variants. + + Main Outcomes and Measures: Cross-sectional associations of adiposity with biomarkers were examined using linear regression. Associations of biomarkers with CVD risk were assessed using Cox regression among those without prior cancer or CVD at baseline. Mendelian randomization was conducted to derive genetically estimated associations of BMI with biomarkers. + + Findings: In observational analyses of 628 individuals (mean [SD] age, 52.2 [10.5] years; 385 women [61.3%]), BMI (mean [SD], 23.9 [3.6]) was positively associated with 27 proteins (per 1-SD higher BMI; eg, interleukin-6: 0.21 [95% CI, 0.12-0.29] SD; interleukin-18: 0.13 [95% CI, 0.05-0.21] SD; monocyte chemoattractant protein-1: 0.12 [95% CI, 0.04-0.20] SD; hepatocyte growth factor: 0.31 [95% CI, 0.24-0.39] SD), and inversely with 3 proteins (Fas ligand: -0.11 [95% CI, -0.19 to -0.03] SD; TNF-related weak inducer of apoptosis, -0.14 [95% CI, -0.23 to -0.06] SD; and carbonic anhydrase 9: (-0.14 [95% CI, -0.22 to -0.05] SD), with similar associations identified for other adiposity traits (eg, waist circumference [r = 0.96]). In mendelian randomization, the associations of genetically elevated BMI with specific proteins were directionally consistent with the observational associations. In meta-analyses of genetically elevated BMI with 8 proteins, combining present estimates with previous studies, the most robust associations were shown for interleukin-6 (per 1-SD higher BMI; 0.21 [95% CI, 0.13-0.29] SD), interleukin-18 (0.16 [95% CI, 0.06-0.26] SD), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (0.21 [95% CI, 0.11-0.30] SD), monocyte chemotactic protein-3 (0.12 [95% CI, 0.03-0.21] SD), TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (0.23 [95% CI, 0.13-0.32] SD), and hepatocyte growth factor (0.14 [95% CI, 0.06-0.22] SD). Of the 30 BMI-associated biomarkers, 10 (including interleukin-6, interleukin-18, and hepatocyte growth factor) were nominally associated with incident CVD. + + Conclusions and Relevance: Mendelian randomization shows adiposity to be associated with a range of protein biomarkers, with some biomarkers also showing association with CVD risk. Future studies are warranted to validate these findings and assess whether proteins may be mediators between adiposity and CVD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Chemokine CCL2). 0 (Chemokine CCL7). 0 (IL18 protein, human). 0 (IL6 protein, human). 0 (Interleukin-18). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand). 67256-21-7 (Hepatocyte Growth Factor). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Furthermore, NAFLD is strongly related with obesity. This study aimed to compare TyG index and its related parameters (TyG-waist circumference [WC] and TyG-body mass index [BMI]), comprising TyG and obesity markers, in predicting NAFLD and liver fibrosis in overweight/obese individuals without diabetes. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study consisting of 184 overweight/obese people (96 with and 88 without NAFLD), 30-65 years of age. TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC were computed using the established formula. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) were determined by transient elastography (FibroScan). Results: In correlation analyses, CAP and LSM were significantly associated with WC, BMI, TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC. Regression analyses highlighted TyG-WC as a significant predictor of NAFLD, with the highest standardized odds ratio (2.25, P < 0.001); while liver fibrosis was associated more strongly with TyG-BMI. In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, TyG-WC showed the largest area under the ROC curve (AUC) for detection of NAFLD (0.693, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.617-0.769). However, TyG-BMI was a better discriminator of liver fibrosis (AUC: 0.635, 95% CI: 0.554-0.714). TyG-WC value of 876 (sensitivity: 81.3%, specificity: 52.3%) and TyG-BMI value of 259 (sensitivity: 78.3%, specificity: 51.3%) were the optimal cutoff points to predict NAFLD and liver fibrosis, respectively. Conclusions: The results highlight the significant associations of TyG and its related indices with NAFLD, with TyG-WC being a better indicator. TyG-BMI and TyG-WC could reliably predict liver fibrosis in this population. These indices appear to be simple, practical, and affordable tools for screening NAFLD and liver fibrosis in clinical settings. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Triglycerides).

Therefore, maintaining a balanced glucose homeostasis might form a strategy to prevent or cure diabetes and obesity. The activation and inhibition of glucose production is complicated due to the presence of many interfering pathways. These pathways can be viewed at the downstream level because they activate certain transcription factors, which include the Forkhead-O1 (FoxO1). This has been identified as a significant agent in the pancreas, liver, and adipose tissue, which is significant in the regulation of lipids and glucose. The objective of this review is to discuss the intersecting portrayal of FoxO1 and its parallel cross-talk which highlights obesity-induced insulin susceptibility in the discovery of a targeted remedy. The review also analyses current progress and provides a blueprint on therapeutics, small molecules, and extracts/phytochemicals which are explored at the pre-clinical level.

Metabolic disturbances induced by a negative energy balance (e.g. undernutrition) or positive energy balance (e.g. overnutrition, obesity) are known to drive or exacerbate reproductive dysfunction. Whether the utility of ultrasonographic metrics of ovarian morphology could be extended as biomarkers that detect and monitor the integration of metabolic and reproductive dysfunction is an emerging research area, and recent evidence is discussed. We note that unique variations in ovarian morphology emerge across the adiposity spectrum and highlight the potential for reproductive and metabolic 'tipping points' upon which such morphological variations may be detected on ultrasonography.

The aim of this study was to characterise the neuroendocrine response to various glucose concentrations in overweight and insulin-resistant individuals compared with lean individuals. + + METHODS: Overweight/obese (HI, n = 15, BMI >=27.0 kg/m2) and lean (LO, n = 15, BMI <27.0 kg/m2) individuals without diabetes underwent hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic-hypoglycaemic clamps and hyperglycaemic clamps on two separate occasions with measurements of hormones, Edinburgh Hypoglycaemic Symptom Scale (ESS) score and heart rate variability (HRV). Statistical methods included groupwise comparisons with Mann-Whitney U tests, multilinear regressions and linear mixed models between neuroendocrine responses and continuous metabolic variables. + + RESULTS: During hypoglycaemic clamps, there was an elevated cortisol response in HI vs LO (median DELTAAUC 12,383 vs 4793 nmol/l x min; p = 0.050) and a significantly elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) response in HI vs LO (median DELTAAUC 437.3 vs 162.0 nmol/l x min; p = 0.021). When adjusting for clamp glucose levels, obesity (p = 0.033) and insulin resistance (p = 0.009) were associated with elevated glucagon levels. By contrast, parasympathetic activity was less suppressed in overweight individuals at the last stage of hypoglycaemia compared with euglycaemia (high-frequency power of HRV, p = 0.024). M value was the strongest predictor for the ACTH and PHF responses, independent of BMI and other variables. There was a BMI-independent association between the cortisol response and ESS score response (p = 0.024). During hyperglycaemic clamps, overweight individuals displayed less suppression of glucagon levels (median DELTAAUC -63.4% vs -73.0%; p = 0.010) and more suppression of sympathetic relative to parasympathetic activity (low-frequency/high-frequency power, p = 0.011). + + CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: This study supports the hypothesis that altered responses of insulin-antagonistic hormones and the ANS to glucose fluctuations occur in overweight and insulin-resistant individuals, and that these responses are probably partly mediated by the CNS. Their potential role in development of type 2 diabetes needs to be addressed in future research.

FMI Z-scores were calculated based on distributions in a reference population. Descriptive statistics described relationships between age, FMI Z-score, and the original MBDA and adjusted MBDA (aMBDA). Swollen joint counts (SJC) and the clinical disease activity index (CDAI) were assessed over MBDA categories. + + RESULTS: There were 104 participants (50% female) with mean (SD) age of 56.1 (12.5) and body mass index (BMI) of 28.8 (6.9). Older age was associated with higher MBDA scores in men. The aMBDA was not associated with age. The original MBDA score was associated with FMI Z-score among women (Rho = 0.42, p = 0.002) but not men. The aMBDA was not associated with FMI Z-score in either women or men. The aMBDA score was lower than the original MBDA in the highest quartile of FMI in women and was higher in the lowest FMI quartiles in women and men. CDAI, SJC, and radiographic scores were similar across activity categories for the original MBDA score and aMBDA. + + CONCLUSIONS: The aMBDA demonstrated reduced associations with adiposity, particularly among women. The aMBDA may be less likely to overestimate disease activity in women with greater adiposity and to underestimate disease activity in men and women with lesser adiposity. Key Points * Leptin adjustment of the MBDA score reduces the influence of adiposity, particularly among women. * Leptin adjustment results in significantly higher estimated disease activity in thin men and women. * The adjusted and unadjusted score correlate similarly with clinical disease activity measures. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.1007%2fs10067-020-05508-3 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Baker&issn=0770-3198&title=Clinical+Rheumatology&atitle=Evaluation+of+the+impact+of+age+and+adiposity+on+a+multi-biomarker+disease+activity+score+before+and+after+adjustment.&volume=40&issue=6&spage=2419&epage=2426&date=2021&doi=10.1007%2Fs10067-020-05508-3&pmid=33237483&sid=OVID:medline + +<1019> +Unique Identifier + 33237347 +Title + Obesity-related protein biomarkers for predicting breast cancer risk: an overview of systematic reviews.

This study aimed to carry out a comprehensive overview of systematic reviews on circulating levels of obesity-related protein biomarkers for female breast cancer risk to provide a solid reference for potential breast cancer predictors. + + METHODS: Comprehensive literature searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews up to Dec 2019. The AMSTAR tool was used for the methodological quality assessment of the included systematic reviews. Evidence was reported narratively. + + RESULTS: A total of 28 relevant systematic reviews which were mostly of moderate quality were included in the overview. Protein biomarkers relating to adipokines, insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis, inflammatory cytokines and sex hormones were investigated. Higher levels of circulating IGF-1, IGF-binding protein-3, leptin and resistin were found to be associated with an increased risk of premenopausal breast cancer; lower levels of circulating adiponectin and higher levels of circulating c-reactive protein, leptin, and resistin were found to be associated with an increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. + + CONCLUSIONS: We found sufficient evidence on the positive associations between certain obesity-related protein biomarkers with pre- and/or postmenopausal breast cancer risk. These biomarkers could be used jointly as predictors, so as to build a comprehensive risk predictive score for female breast cancer. + + PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42020175328. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Gonadal Steroid Hormones). 0 (IGF1 protein, human). 0 (IGFBP3 protein, human). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3). 67763-96-6 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor I). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim of this study was to provide recent findings in this regard. Methods: A total of 119 obese patients [17 with diabetes, 23 with hypothyroid, and 79 patients without either diabetes or hypothyroid (control)] were recruited in this study. Serum biomarkers such as biochemical, hormonal (insulin and glucagon), and cytokine levels [interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, IL-10, and transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta1)] were measured under fasting conditions. Bacterial abundance of gut microbiota was also quantitated by real-time polymerase chain reaction using 16S rRNA gene-based specific primers. Results: Average value of blood sugar (P: 0.0184), hemoglobin A1c, insulin, homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance, TGF-beta 1, IL-6, IL-1beta, interferon gamma (Pfor each < 0.001), and phylum Actinobacteria [odds ratio (OR): 1.5, P: 0.032] was significantly higher in diabetic versus control group. In contrast, the levels of IL-10 (P < 0.001), Firmicutes (OR: 0.6, P: 0.058), and Akkermansia muciniphila (OR: 0.4, P: 0.053) were significantly lower in diabetic versus control group. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the values in hypothyroid versus control group either in crude or adjusted models. Conclusion: While there are some relationships between serum biomarkers or bacterial abundance with diabetes prediction in obese patients, this prognostication is less likely in obese patients with hypothyroid. Further investigation is warranted in the application of identified preclinical biomarkers in the diagnosis of diabetes or hypothyroid in obese patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (RNA, Ribosomal, 16S). 130068-27-8 (Interleukin-10). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Obesity is considered a low-grade systemic inflammation, partly linked to leaky gut. Circadian rhythm disruption, a common habit in modern life, has been reported to cause gut barrier impairment. Abnormal time of eating, defined by eating close to or during rest time, is shown to cause circadian rhythm disruption. Here, using a non-obesogenic diet, we found that abnormal feeding time facilitated weight gain and induced metabolic dysregulation in mice. The effect of abnormal time of eating was associated with increased gut permeability, estimated by sucralose and/or lactulose ratio and disrupted intestinal barrier marker. Analysis of gut microbiota and their metabolites, as important regulators of barrier homeostasis, revealed that abnormal food timing reduced relative abundance of butyrate-producing bacteria, and the colonic butyrate level. Overall, our data supported that dysbiosis was characterized by increased intestinal permeability and decreased beneficial barrier butyrate-producing bacteria and/or metabolite to mechanistically link the time of eating to obesity. This data provides basis for noninvasive microbial-targeted interventions to improve intestinal barrier function as new opportunities for combating circadian rhythm disruption induced metabolic dysfunction.

Fibronectin type III domain-containing 5 (FNDC5) is a widely distributed transmembrane glycoprotein that can be proteolytically cleaved and secreted as irisin to regulate glycolipid metabolism and cardiovascular homeostasis. In this review, we present the current knowledge on the predictive and therapeutic role of FNDC5 in a variety of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmia, metabolic cardiomyopathy, cardiac remodeling, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, and obesity.

We therefore investigated the impact of body weight and class 1 obesity on thromboxane generation and platelet reactivity to arachidonic acid (AA) in 316 patients on dual antiplatelet therapy following angioplasty and stenting. + + METHODS: Platelet surface expression of P-selectin and activated glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa in response to AA were determined by flow cytometry as sensitive markers of platelet activation. Urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 (11-dehydro-TXB2) and serum TXB2 were measured by commercially-available immunoassays. On-treatment residual AA-inducible platelet aggregation was assessed by light transmission aggregometry (LTA), the VerifyNow aspirin assay and multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA). + + RESULTS: Class 1 obesity was independently associated with increased platelet surface expression of P-selectin and activated GPIIb/IIIa, but not with urinary 11-dehydro-TXB2, serum TXB2, and on-treatment platelet aggregation by all assays. Of all measured parameters, only MEA showed a positive albeit very weak correlation with body weight (r = 0.13, p = 0.02). Furthermore, the results of all tests did not differ significantly between patients without and with a body weight >= 70 kg. After adjustment for age and diabetes by multivariate logistic regression analysis, the frequency of high-on treatment residual TXB2 generation and high on-treatment residual AA-inducible platelet reactivity (HRTG/HRPR) did not differ significantly between obese and non-obese patients. + + CONCLUSION: Class 1 obesity is associated with enhanced platelet activation in response to AA in patients on dual antiplatelet therapy. This seems to be independent of cyclooxygenase-1 inhibition and does not translate into HRTG/HRPR. Copyright © 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.

The aim of this study was to compare metabolic and obesity biomarkers between adolescent and adult women with PCOS. + + METHODS: This observational study compared biomarkers of obesity and metabolism derangements between adolescent (n = 62) and adult (n = 248) women with PCOS. Predictors of metabolic syndrome (MS) were investigated using univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis. + + RESULTS: The postmenarcheal age of adolescents was 4.9 +/- 0.03 years. Systolic blood pressure was lower in adolescents than in adults (112.3 mmHg vs 117.0 mmHg, p = 0.001) Diastolic blood pressure was also lower in adolescents (70.7 mmHg vs 75.8 mmHg, p < 0.001). Glucose intolerance (12.0% vs 19.3%) and insulin resistance (18.2% vs 17.7%) were similar in both groups (p > 0.05, for comparisons). Impaired fasting glucose was lower in adolescents (1.8% vs 11.6%, p = 0.015). Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were lower in adolescents (p < 0.001). MS in adolescents and adults were found in 10.3% and 27.8%, respectively (p = 0.005). Visceral adiposity index (VAI) was a good predictor of MS in both adolescents (OR = 12.2), and adults (OR = 9.7). + + CONCLUSIONS: Most biomarkers of glucose metabolism abnormalities were similar in adolescents and adults with PCOS. The prevalence of MS was lower in adolescents. VAI was a strong predictor of metabolic syndrome, both in adolescent and adult women with PCOS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

This diet was selected for probiotic studies by prior comparisons of different combinations of basic (carbohydrate, protein and fat) components for optimized induction of dietary obesity in a murine model. Prior selection of Lact. plantarum strain KC28 was based on different physiological tests for safety and functionality including cell line adhesion and anti-adipogenic activity. The strain was administered at 5.0 x 109 CFU/mouse/day to the DIO mice (control mice received a normal diet). The anti-obesity effect of KC28 and the well-known probiotic strains Lact. rhamnosus GG (LGG) and Lact. plantarum 299v was assessed over 12 weeks. Xenical served as anti-obesity control. The high-fat diet groups receiving strains KC28 and LGG and the control Xenical group showed significant weight loss and notable changes in some obesity-related biomarkers in the liver (significant up-regulation of PGC1-alpha and CPT1-alpha only by KC28; p < 0.05) and mesenteric adipose tissue (significant down-regulation of ACOX-1, PPAR-gamma, and FAS; KC28 p < 0.001 for PPAR-gamma and FAS), compared with the IF control. Favourable changes in the studied biomarkers suggest a similar beneficial influence of Lact. plantarum KC28 on the alleviation of obesity comparable with that of the two well-studied probiotic strains, LGG and 299v. This probably resulted from a modulation in the cecal microbiota of the IF group by either probiotic strain, yet in a different manner, showing a highly significant increase in the families Desulfovibrionaceae and Lactobacillaceae only in the group receiving Lact. plantarum KC28. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors). 95M8R751W8 (Orlistat). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This study examined several senescence biomarkers, including LMNA/C transcript variants, p16INK4a, p53, and p21Cip1/WAF, in PBMC of T2DM patients and the effect of Metformin on these senescence markers. + + METHODS: Blood samples were obtained from 30 lean, 30 obese, 20 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and 30 T2DM on Metformin. PBMC were isolated and mRNA expression of the senescence biomarkers were quantified by RT-qPCR. The effect of ectopic expression of LMNA and LMNC in human monocytic cells lines (THP-1 and U937) on several inflammatory mediators were also examined. + + RESULTS: LMNA expression was significantly higher in PBMC of obese and T2DM patients. LMNC expression was significantly inhibited in T2DM patients. LMNADELTA10 and Progerin mRNA expression was not detected in PBMC of all groups. Expression of p16INK4a, p21Cip1/WAF and p53 were inhibited significantly in T2DM. Metformin treatment reverted LMNA, LMNC, and p53 expression levels to normal levels. Upregulation of LMNA in monocytic THP-1 and U937 cell lines induced CD68, TNFalpha, CCL2, IL-6 and NOS2. + + CONCLUSIONS: These data support the notion that LMNA may mediate senescence in PBMCs of T2DM by upregulating inflammatory pathways. Metformin may exert its anti-inflammatory property by modulation of senescence mediator LMNA. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

In 2019-2020, the former EP women had been followed up 14 years after attaining their final height. + + OBJECTIVE: To determine the reproductive function and metabolic profiles of former EP women. + + STUDY DESIGN: Fifty-seven former EP women were evaluated for reproductive function and examined for health status. Blood samples were obtained for metabolic profiles of glucose, lipids and insulin, and testosterone levels. + + RESULTS: In 2020, the average age of the study women was 22.9 +/- 1.7 years. The average height was 156.7 +/- 5.6 cm. The average weight had increased from 52.5 +/- 7.8 kg in 2011 to 58.5 +/- 11.1 kg in 2020 and average body mass index (BMI) from 21.4 +/- 2.9 to 23.8 +/- 4.0 kg/m2. Obesity (BMI>25 kg/m2) was found in 8.8% (five participants) in 2011 and had increased to 22.8% (13 participants) in 2020. Most participants (79%) had regular menstrual cycle. Of the 17 married women, 4 (23.5%) had 1-2 children. Dividing the participants into obese and nonobese groups, the average fasting plasma glucose, lipid profiles, and testosterone levels were similar in both groups. However, the average systolic blood pressure and the serum insulin levels and HOMA-IR assessments were significantly higher in the obese group than in the nonobese group. + + CONCLUSION: The former EP women had normal menstruation and reproductive function. The former EP women with average BMI at the follow-up had normal metabolic profiles while those who later became obese had significantly higher systolic blood pressure, serum insulin, and HOMA-IR assessments.

Serum IgE was measured in the ADVIA Centaur system. Atopy was defined by the presence of positive skin prick tests to a panel of common aeroallergens in the area. Body mass index and data related to the definition of metabolic syndrome were obtained from all participants. Alcohol consumption, smoking, and regular physical exercise were assessed by a questionnaire. + + RESULTS: Atopy (present in 21.9% of 1,514 evaluable individuals) was the strongest factor determining serum IgE concentrations. Male sex and heavy alcohol drinking were independently associated with higher IgE concentrations, particularly in the non-atopic individuals. Body mass index was positively associated with IgE concentrations, independent of potential confounders, although the effect was only evident among non-atopic individuals. In that group, median IgE concentrations in normal-weight and obese individuals were 15 and 24 kU/L, respectively (p < 0.001); likewise, obesity was associated with high (>100 kU/L) IgE concentrations after adjusting for potential confounders (odds ratio: 1.79, 95% confidence interval: 1.26-2.56, p = 0.001). The presence of metabolic syndrome and its components, particularly abdominal obesity and hyperglycaemia, was also positively and independently associated with higher IgE concentrations in non-atopic individuals. + + CONCLUSIONS: Obesity and metabolic syndrome components are associated with high total serum IgE concentrations, particularly in non-atopic individuals.

This chronic inflammation is known to contribute to increased risk of cardiovascular disease in these populations. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is associated with a high rate of diabetes remission. We hypothesize that laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass decreases systemic inflammatory markers and cardiovascular disease risk factors in obese diabetics. + + METHODS: This was a single-institution prospective cohort study of 61 obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A total of 30 patients underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, and 31 patients underwent standard medical therapy with diabetes support and education. Collected data included preoperative and postoperative inflammatory biomarkers and clinical parameters. + + RESULTS: Twelve months after undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, controlling for sex and age, there was a significant correlation between a change in interleukin-6 and a change in systolic blood pressure (Spearman r = 0.41, P = .03). Similarly, when sex and age were controlled for in the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass group, a statistically significant relationship remained between percent excess weight loss and change in interleukin-6 (P = .001). + + CONCLUSION: A significant relationship exists between decreased systemic interleukin-6 levels and both excess weight loss and lowered systolic blood pressure after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in obese patients with diabetes mellitus. These correlations may explain the decreased risk of cardiovascular disease after surgical weight reduction in this patient population. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

Theories for how racial and socioeconomic disadvantages foster inflammation emphasize a lifecourse approach: social disadvantages enable chronic or repeated exposure to stressors, unhealthy behaviors, and environmental risks that accumulate across the lifecourse to increase low-grade inflammation. However, single samples rarely include multiple racial and socioeconomic groups that each span a wide age range, precluding examination of this proposition. To address this issue, the current study combined seven studies that measured C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, producing a pooled sample of 1650 individuals aged 11-60 years. We examined (a) whether race and socioeconomic disparities in inflammatory biomarkers vary across the lifecourse, (b) whether adiposity operates as a pathway leading to these disparities, and (c) whether any indirect pathways through adiposity also vary across the lifecourse. Relative to White individuals, Black individuals exhibited higher, whereas Asian individuals exhibited lower, levels of inflammatory biomarkers, and adiposity accounted for these racial differences. Similarly, lower socioeconomic status was associated with higher inflammatory biomarkers via elevated adiposity. Importantly, both racial and socioeconomic disparities, as well as their pathways via adiposity, widened across the lifecourse. This pattern suggests that the impact of social disadvantages compound with age, leading to progressively larger disparities in low-grade inflammation. More broadly, these findings highlight the importance of considering age when examining health disparities and formulating conceptual models that specify how and why disparities may vary across the lifecourse.

Several studies have documented a high prevalence of lupus anticoagulant that may at least partially explain the procoagulant profile of COVID-19. However, the association between lupus anticoagulant and thrombotic complications in COVID-19 is controversial and no study has specifically evaluated the impact of lupus anticoagulant on mortality. The aim of our study was to investigate the association between lupus anticoagulant and mortality in a large group of 192 consecutive patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Lupus anticoagulant was found in 95 patients (49.5%). No difference in the percentage of patients with lupus anticoagulant was observed between 130 survivors and 62 non-survivors (47.7 versus 53,2%; p = 0.4745). When the combined outcome of death or need for mechanical ventilation in survivors was taken into account, the difference in the prevalence of patients with lupus anticoagulant between the patients with the combined outcome (n = 76) and survivors who did not require mechanical ventilation (n = 116) was not significant (52.6% versus 47.4%; p = 0.4806). In multivariate analysis predictors of mortality or need for mechanical ventilation in survivors were obesity, low oxygen saturation and elevated troponin levels measured on admission. In conclusion, our study did not show any association of lupus anticoagulant with mortality and with need for mechanical ventilation in survivors. The role of obesity, low SaO2 and elevated troponin levels as predictors of a worse prognosis in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 was confirmed. Copyright © 2020.

Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of circuit resistance training (CRT) on plasma levels of amino acids, alpha-hydroxybutyrate (alpha-HB), mannose, and urinary levels of glycine conjugated adducts in obese adolescent boys. Forty obese adolescent boys (body mass index above the 95th percentile) with an age range of 14-17 years were randomly divided into the CRT group (n = 20) and control group (n = 20). The CRT program (3 times/week, 70%-80% of 1-repetition maximum) was performed for 8 weeks. The results indicated that the body composition and plasma levels of glucose, insulin resistance, valine, mannose, lysine, and the sum of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) were decreased because of CRT. The plasma levels of asparagine, glycine, serine, and urinary levels of glycine conjugated adduct also increased in the CRT group. Although alpha-HB level decreased during CRT, it had no significant difference from that of the control group. It can be concluded that the improvement in obesity complications including insulin resistance in obese adolescent boys after CRT may be due to decrease in plasma levels of mannose and BCAA and increase urinary metabolites. Novelty: CRT improves glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in obese adolescent boys. CRT decreases plasma levels of mannose and BCAA and normalizes other amino acids. CRT increases urinary levels of glycine conjugated adducts. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Hydroxybutyrates).

Increasing obesity rates contribute to a growing number of obese patients qualified for electrical cardioversion (CVE). Biomarkers of left atrial (LA) overload are considered as factors influencing efficacy of atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment. The increasing rate of obesity contributes to obese patients constituting a significant group of subjects qualified to electrical cardioversion (CVE). + + AIMS: The aim of the study was to evaluate serum concentrations of biomarkers of LA overload and their impact on the efficacy of CVE. + + METHODS: A total of 82 patients with persistent AF who underwent successful CVE were prospectively enrolled in the study. The study population was divided into the obese group (OG) and the nonobese group (NOG). The serum levels of the following biomarkers were measured on the day of admission and at follow-up: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, copeptin, galectin 3, growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), and renalase. + + RESULTS: Baseline and follow-up hs-CRP levels were increased in the OG compared with the NOG. Four-week CVE efficacy was 38.8% in the OG and 60.6% in the NOG. Time of the observation, allocation to the groups, and CVE outcomes showed no associations with most LA biomarkers during follow-up. Baseline concentrations of 2 biomarkers of LA overload were associated with clinical characteristics of the study group, that is, log10 serum GDF-15 and log10 serum renalase levels correlated positively with the CHA2DS2-VASc score. + + CONCLUSIONS: Although obesity modifies the long-term efficacy of CVE, the OG and NOG did not differ significantly in most biomarkers of LA overload, except hs-CRP. The efficacy of CVE seems to be independent of the levels of biomarkers. A favorable procedure outcome did not affect their blood concentrations. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.33963%2fKP.15673 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Cichon&issn=0022-9032&title=Kardiologia+Polska&atitle=Biomarkers+of+left+atrial+overload+in+obese+and+nonobese+patients+with+atrial+fibrillation+qualified+for+electrical+cardioversion.&volume=79&issue=3&spage=269&epage=276&date=2021&doi=10.33963%2FKP.15673&pmid=33146504&sid=OVID:medline + +<1034> +Unique Identifier + 33135737 +Title + Identification and Metabolic Profiling of a Novel Human Gut-derived LEAP2 Fragment. +Source + Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. 106(2):e966-e981, 2021 01 23. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Hagemann CA; Zhang C; Hansen HH; Jorsal T; Rigbolt KTG; Madsen MR; Bergmann NC; Heimburger SMN; Falkenhahn M; Theis S; Breitschopf K; Holm S; Hedegaard MA; Christensen MB; Vilsboll T; Holst B; Vrang N; Jelsing J; Knop FK +Authors Full Name + Hagemann, Christoffer A; Zhang, Chen; Hansen, Henrik H; Jorsal, Tina; Rigbolt, Kristoffer T G; Madsen, Martin R; Bergmann, Natasha C; Heimburger, Sebastian M N; Falkenhahn, Mechthilde; Theis, Stefan; Breitschopf, Kristin; Holm, Stephanie; Hedegaard, Morten A; Christensen, Mikkel B; Vilsboll, Tina; Holst, Birgitte; Vrang, Niels; Jelsing, Jacob; Knop, Filip K. +Institution + Hagemann, Christoffer A.

Enteroendocrine cell (EEC) secretory function has been proposed as a key factor in the marked metabolic benefits from RYGB surgery. + + OBJECTIVE: To identify novel gut-derived peptides with therapeutic potential in obesity and/or diabetes by profiling EEC-specific molecular changes in obese patients following RYGB-induced weight loss. + + SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Genome-wide expression analysis was performed in isolated human small intestinal EECs obtained from 20 gut-biopsied obese subjects before and after RYGB. Targets of interest were profiled for preclinical and clinical metabolic effects. + + RESULTS: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass consistently increased expression levels of the inverse ghrelin receptor agonist, liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2). A secreted endogenous LEAP2 fragment (LEAP238-47) demonstrated robust insulinotropic properties, stimulating insulin release in human pancreatic islets comparable to the gut hormone glucagon-like peptide-1. LEAP238-47 showed reciprocal effects on growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) activity, suggesting that the insulinotropic action of the peptide may be directly linked to attenuation of tonic GHSR activity. The fragment was infused in healthy human individuals (n = 10), but no glucoregulatory effect was observed in the chosen dose as compared to placebo. + + CONCLUSIONS: Small intestinal LEAP2 expression was upregulated after RYGB. The corresponding circulating LEAP238-47 fragment demonstrated strong insulinotropic action in vitro but failed to elicit glucoregulatory effects in healthy human subjects.

Lifestyle changes are the first line therapy for obesity and a large variety of dietary approaches have demonstrated efficacy in promoting weight loss and improving obesity-related metabolic alterations. Besides diet and physical activity, bariatric surgery might be an effective therapeutic strategy for morbid obese patients. Response to weight-loss interventions is characterised by high inter-individual variability, which might involve epigenetic factors. microRNAs have critical roles in metabolic processes and their dysregulated expression has been reported in obesity. + + AIM: The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of current studies evaluating changes in microRNA expression in obese patients undergoing lifestyle interventions or bariatric surgery. + + RESULTS: A considerable number of studies have reported a differential expression of circulating microRNAs before and after various dietary and bariatric surgery approaches, identifying several candidate biomarkers of response to weight loss. Significant changes in microRNA expression have been observed at a tissue level as well, with entirely different patterns between visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue. Interestingly, relevant differences in microRNA expression have emerged between responders and non-responders to dietary or surgical interventions. A wide variety of dysregulated microRNA target pathways have also been identified, helping to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying obesity and obesity-related metabolic diseases. + + CONCLUSIONS: Although further research is needed to draw firm conclusions, there is increasing evidence about microRNAs as potential biomarkers for weight loss and response to intervention strategies in obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Circulating MicroRNA). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This study tested whether loss of weight by liraglutide combined with decreasing acylcarnitines (AcylCNs) represent an effective strategy to improve insulin sensitivity in obese insulin-resistant females. AcylCN profiles by tandem mass spectrometry, plasma glycosylated hemoglobin, lactate, pyruvate, serum fasting glucose, creatinine, and insulin were assessed for obese insulin-resistant females before and after treatment with liraglutide for 3 months and non-obese females. All studied parameters in obese insulin-resistant females before treatment were significantly higher than control subjects except C0 and C3 levels which were significantly low. Liraglutide treatment was effective in weight loss, increased C0 and C3 levels and decreased values of all other studied parameters comparing with before treatment but still higher than control. However, creatinine level was unaffected by treatment. This study can conclude that circulating AcylCN profiles can reflect mitochondrial overload that happen in response to obesity. Also, AcylCNs can be used as markers for diagnosis of metabolic disorders. Liraglutide treatment leads to durable improvements in weight reduction and glycometabolic control and the utilization of intracellular glucose. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

Our objective is to determine the effect of intragastric botulinum toxin A on weight loss, satiety, biomarkers, and quality of life of obese patients prior bariatric surgery. + + METHODS: Design: single-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in 52 obese patients on bariatric surgery waiting lists. Two-arm parallel: the treatment group was administered intragastric botulinum toxin A by endoscopy, whereas the control group was administered physiological saline solution. Weight loss was evaluated at weeks 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24, as well as changes in body composition, satiety (Visual analogue scale (VAS) and GCSI questionnaire), quality of life (GIQLI questionnaire), and biomarkers of satiety and appetite. + + RESULTS: Weight loss at weeks 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 after the endoscopy, with respect to the basal visit, was 0.6 +/- 2 kg, 0.4 +/- 2.7 kg, 0.4 +/- 3.1 kg, 0.2 +/- 4.5 kg, and 0.6 +/- 4.3 kg for the control group vs 1.9 +/- 2.1 kg, 2 +/- 2.6 kg, 2.8 +/- 4.1 kg, 3.5 +/- 5.3 kg, and 4.5 +/- 7 kg for the treatment group, respectively, being differences between groups significant at all times (p = 0.016, 0.031, 0.014, 0.021, and 0.023, respectively). Treatment group patients obtained a significantly higher score for GIQLI questionnaire compared with baseline (104.4 +/- 13.9 points vs 97.7 +/- 15.6 points; p = 0.024), showing a significant improvement in the section of subjective physical capacity. No significant differences were found regarding perception of satiety, or biomarkers of satiety and appetite. + + CONCLUSIONS: Intragastric injection of botulinum toxin A is an effective and safe procedure to achieve a moderate weight loss and improve quality of life.

Obese individuals present increased levels of leptin in the blood and develop hypothalamic resistance to this adipokine. Here we investigated whether leptin effects on the periphery are maintained despite the hypothalamic resistance. We previously reported that leptin injection induces in vivo neutrophil migration and peritoneal macrophage activation in lean mice through TNF-alpha- and CXCL1-dependent mechanisms. However, leptin effects on leukocyte biology during obesity remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the in vivo responsiveness of leukocytes to i.p. injected leptin in mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO). After 14-16 wk, high-sucrose, high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice showed hyperglycemia, hyperleptinemia, and dyslipidemia compared to normal-sucrose, normal-fat diet (ND). Exogenous leptin did not reduce food intake in DIO mice in contrast to control mice, indicating that DIO mice were centrally resistant to leptin. Regardless of the diet, we found increased levels of TNF-alpha and CXCL1 in the animals injected with leptin, alongside a pronounced neutrophil migration to the peritoneal cavity and enhanced biogenesis of lipid droplets in peritoneal macrophages. Supporting our in vivo results, data from ex vivo leptin stimulation experiments confirmed hypothalamic resistance in DIO mice, whereas bone marrow cells responded to leptin stimulation through mTOR signaling despite obesity. Altogether, our results show that leukocytes responded equally to leptin in ND- or HFD-fed mice. These results support a role for leptin in the innate immune response also in obesity, contributing to the inflammatory status that leads to the development of metabolic disease.

However, its metabolic correlate in paediatric patients with respect to PWS is unknown. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional study investigated circulating ANGPTL8 and adipocytokines levels in 28 PWS and 28 age-, sex- and BMI-matched children and adolescents (age, 7.0-17.8y) in relation to NAFLD and metabolic homeostasis assessed by OGTT, paediatric metabolic index (PMI) and fatty liver index (FLI), liver ultrasonography (US), as well as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for analysis of fat (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM). + + RESULTS: At the set level of significance, PWS children showed lower values of FFM (p < 0.01) but healthier insulin profiles (p < 0.01) and PMI values (p < 0.05) than matched controls. By US, the prevalence of NAFLD was similar between groups but less severe in PWS than controls. Analysis of ANGPTL8 levels showed no difference between groups, yet only in PWS ANGPTL8 levels were associated with ALT levels, FLI values and NAFLD. In stepwise multivariable regression analysis on merged data, ANGPTL8 levels were independently predicted by BMI SDS, leptin levels and NAFLD. + + CONCLUSION: ANGPTL8 levels are similar in PWS and controls and, overall, they are directly associated with the presence and severity of NAFLD in patients with PWS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ANGPTL8 protein, human). 0 (Angiopoietin-Like Protein 8). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Hormones). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.1007%2fs40618-020-01444-w +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Mele&issn=0391-4097&title=Journal+of+Endocrinological+Investigation&atitle=Angiopoietin-like+8+%28ANGPTL8%29+as+a+potential+predictor+of+NAFLD+in+paediatric+patients+with+Prader-Willi+Syndrome.&volume=44&issue=7&spage=1447&epage=1456&date=2021&doi=10.1007%2Fs40618-020-01444-w&pmid=33067796&sid=OVID:medline + +<1040> +Unique Identifier + 33037819 +Title + Brain Connectivity, and Hormonal and Behavioral Correlates of Sustained Weight Loss in Obese Patients after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. +Source + Cerebral Cortex. 31(2):1284-1295, 2021 01 05. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Hu Y; Ji G; Li G; Manza P; Zhang W; Wang J; Lv G; He Y; Zhang Z; Yuan K; von Deneen KM; Chen A; Cui G; Wang H; Wiers CE; Volkow ND; Nie Y; Zhang Y; Wang GJ +Authors Full Name + Hu, Yang; Ji, Gang; Li, Guanya; Manza, Peter; Zhang, Wenchao; Wang, Jia; Lv, Ganggang; He, Yang; Zhang, Zhida; Yuan, Kai; von Deneen, Karen M; Chen, Antao; Cui, Guangbin; Wang, Huaning; Wiers, Corinde E; Volkow, Nora D; Nie, Yongzhan; Zhang, Yi; Wang, Gene-Jack. +Institution + Hu, Yang.

We measured peripheral appetitive hormones and brain functional-connectivity (FC) using magnetic-resonance-imaging with food cue-reactivity task in 25 obese participants at pre, 1 month, and 6 month after LSG, and compared with 30 normal weight controls. We also used diffusion-tensor-imaging to explore whether LSG increases brain structural-connectivity (SC) of regions involved in food cue-reactivity. LSG significantly decreased BMI, craving for high-calorie food cues, ghrelin, insulin, and leptin levels, and increased self-reported cognitive-control of eating behavior. LSG increased FC between the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the pregenual anterior cingulate cortex (pgACC) and increased SC between DLPFC and ACC at 1 month and 6 month after LSG. Reduction in BMI correlated negatively with increased FC of right DLPFC-pgACC at 1 month and with increased SC of DLPFC-ACC at 1 month and 6 month after LSG. Reduction in craving for high-calorie food cues correlated negatively with increased FC of DLPFC-pgACC at 6 month after LSG. Additionally, SC of DLPFC-ACC mediated the relationship between lower ghrelin levels and greater cognitive control. These findings provide evidence that LSG improved functional and structural connectivity in prefrontal regions, which contribute to enhanced cognitive-control and sustained weight-loss following surgery.

Because bariatric surgery is increasingly performed in relatively elderly patients, a risk for pre- and postoperative CV complications exists. + + OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess the value of plasma N-terminal-probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as a CV screening tool. + + SETTING: High-volume bariatric center. + + METHODS: Between June 2019 and January 2020, all consecutive bariatric patients 50 years and older underwent preoperative NT-proBNP assessment in this cohort study to screen for CV disease. Patients with elevated NT-proBNP (>=125 pg/mL) were referred for further cardiac evaluation, including electrocardiography and echocardiography. + + RESULTS: We included 310 consecutive patients (median age, 56 years; 79% female; body mass index = 43+/-6.5 kg/m2). A history of CV disease was present in 21% of patients, mainly atrial fibrillation (7%) and coronary artery disease (10%). A total of 72 patients (23%) had elevated NT-proBNP levels, and 67 of them underwent further cardiac workup. Of these 67 patients, electrocardiography (ECG) showed atrial fibrillation in 7 patients (10%). On echocardiography, 3 patients had left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <40%, 9 patients had LVEF 40%-49%, and 13 patients had LVEF >=50% with structural and/or functional remodeling. In 2 patients, elevated NT-proBNP prompted workup leading to a diagnosis of coronary artery disease and consequent percutaneous coronary intervention in 1 patient. + + CONCLUSIONS: Elevated NT-proBNP levels are present in 23% of patients 50 years and older undergoing bariatric surgery. In 37% of them, there was echocardiographic evidence for structural and/or functional remodeling. Further studies are needed to assess if these preliminary results warrant routine application of NT-proBNP to identify patients at risk for CV complications after bariatric surgery.

Evidence from previous studies has shown that extracts from olive leaves rich in olive phenolics are able to positively affect CVD risk factors, such as high blood pressure and dyslipidemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8-week olive leaf extract (OLE) administration on blood lipid profiles in overweight/obese subjects with mildly elevated cholesterol levels. + + METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 77 healthy adult overweight/obese subjects (aged 56 +/- 10 years and BMI 29.0 +/- 2.7 kg/m2) with total cholesterol levels of 5.0-8.0 mmol/L (5.9 +/- 0.7 mmol/L) were randomly assigned to receive 500 mg of OLE (n = 39) or placebo (n = 38) for 8 weeks. In total, 74 subjects completed the entire study protocol. At baseline, after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks of supplementation, blood lipid profiles, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), blood pressure, glucose, and insulin levels were assessed. In addition, liver function parameters were measured at baseline and after 8 weeks. + + RESULTS: OLE supplementation did not significantly affect blood lipid levels after 4 weeks or after 8 weeks compared to placebo (all p > 0.05). For oxLDL, blood pressure, glucose, and insulin levels and liver function parameters, also no statistically significant differences were found between the two intervention groups (all p > 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Blood lipid profiles were not significantly affected by 8 weeks OLE supplementation in overweight/obese subjects with mildly elevated cholesterol levels. + + TRIAL REGISTERED: The trial has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02990637). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Plant Extracts). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

IF groups ate breakfast prior to a 24-hour fast on 3 nonconsecutive days per week. On nonfasting days, IF70 ate at 100% and IF100 ate at 145% of energy requirements to achieve the prescribed target. Weight, body composition, insulin sensitivity by clamp, nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs), beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), and markers of lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in muscle by quantitative polymerase chain reaction were measured at baseline and week 8 following a 12-hour overnight fast (all groups) and 24-hour fast (IF groups). + + RESULTS: IF70 resulted in greater weight and fat loss and reduced NEFAs vs CR70 and IF100 after an overnight fast. IF70 and IF100 induced a greater reduction only in mRNA levels of antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1), superoxide dismutase 1, soluble (SOD1), and SOD2 vs CR70. Fasting for 24 hours increased NEFAs and BHB in IF groups, but impaired insulin sensitivity and increased PLIN5 mRNA levels. + + CONCLUSIONS: In comparison to CR, IF did not increase markers of lipid metabolism in muscle, but reduced expression of antioxidant enzymes. However, fasting-induced insulin resistance was detected, alongside increased PLIN5 expression, potentially reflecting transient lipid storage. Copyright © The Author(s) 2020.

Thirty-six participants were randomly assigned into three groups DSE, ASE and a control group. The DSE and ASE groups performed three sessions of stair walking per week for 12 weeks with a gradual increase in repetitions. Following the exercise interventions, body composition related variables obtained by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans significantly decreased. Abdominal fat decreased in the DSE group only. Moreover, Insulin sensitivity improved significantly 3.5-fold in the DSE group compared with ASE group (insulin: -33.2% vs. -9.8%, homoeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance: -35.6% vs. -10.8%). Pro-inflammatory factors showed significant decreases in tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) (-39.9% vs. -23.2%) for both intervention groups. The reduction in TNF-alpha concentrations in the DSE group was significantly different compared to the other two groups. Interleukin-6 significantly decreased in both exercise protocols. Our results show that 12-weeks induced stair walking improved body composition parameters in Chinese females with obesity.

However, FM gain is a common side effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). We examined the efficacy of a 12-wk weight loss intervention to reduce FM and maintain lean mass (LM) in ADT-treated obese PCa patients. + + METHODS: Fourteen ADT-treated obese PCa patients (72 +/- 9 yr, 39.7% +/- 5.4% body fat) were recruited for a self-controlled prospective study, with 11 completing the 6-wk control period, followed by a 12-wk intervention comprising 300 min.wk-1 of exercise including supervised resistance training and home-based aerobic exercise, and dietitian consultations advising a daily energy deficit (2100-4200 kJ) and protein supplementation. Body composition was assessed by dual x-ray absorptiometry. Secondary outcomes included muscle strength (one-repetition maximum), cardiorespiratory fitness (maximal oxygen consumption), and blood biomarkers. + + RESULTS: There were no significant changes during the control period. Patients attended 89% of supervised exercise sessions and 100% of dietitian consultations. No changes in physical activity or energy intake were observed. During the intervention, patients experienced significant reductions in weight (-2.8 +/- 3.2 kg, P = 0.016), FM (-2.8 +/- 2.6 kg, P < 0.001), and trunk FM (-1.8 +/- 1.4 kg, P < 0.001), with LM preserved (-0.05 +/- 1.6 kg, P = 0.805). Muscle strength (4.6%-24.7%, P < 0.010) and maximal oxygen consumption (3.5 +/- 4.7 mL.min-1.kg-1, P = 0.041) significantly improved. Leptin significantly decreased (-2.2 (-2.7 to 0.5) ng.mL-1, P = 0.016) with no other changes in blood biomarkers such as testosterone and lipids (P = 0.051-0.765); however, C-reactive protein (rs = -0.670, P = 0.024) and triglycerides (r = -0.667, P = 0.025) were associated with individual changes in LM. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study shows preliminary efficacy for an exercise and nutrition weight loss intervention to reduce FM, maintain LM, and improve muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness in ADT-treated obese PCa patients. The change in body composition may affect blood biomarkers associated with obesity and PCa progression; however, further research is required. Copyright © 2020 The Author(s).

Many studies have shown that neck circumference (NC) has validity in the measure of MS since it correlates positively with the traditional components. For these reasons, this study aimed at comparing waist circumference (WC) and NC for identifying MS parameters in patients treated at a cardiology unit. Methods: This study included 309 patients assisted in a Cardiology Unit. Biochemical and anthropometric parameters were evaluated. Correlations between neck and WC with anthropometric, biochemical, and atherogenic indices were evaluated. The diagnostic ability of neck and WC was assessed by using the receiver operating characteristics curve. Results: The patients had a mean age of 57.2 years, and 56% were men. The diagnosis of MS was present in 48% of men and 39% of women. Neck and WC showed a positive correlation with each other, and both showed positive correlations with the criteria for MS. Moreover, NC showed a positive correlation with body mass index (BMI), insulin, homeostatic model assessment (HOMA)-beta, and C-reactive protein. WC showed a positive correlation with BMI, HOMA of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and Castelli Index I. Both neck and WC showed the ability to identify the presence of the MS. Conclusion: Both neck and WC showed a significant correlation with several of the metabolic parameters, including some used as criteria for the diagnosis of MS. In addition, both measures demonstrated a good ability to predict MS, making these measures promising for screening patients with this syndrome. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Lipids). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

The Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (CALERIE) trials are part of a research program aiming to test the effects of CR on aging and longevity biomarkers in humans. Building on CALERIE phase 1, CALERIE phase 2 (CALERIE 2) was the largest study to date to assess sustained CR in healthy humans without obesity. In a 24-month randomized controlled trial comprising 218 participants at baseline, CALERIE 2 showed that moderate CR, 11.9% on average, induced improvements in aging-related biomarkers without adversely affecting psychological or behavioral outcomes. The objectives of this report are to summarize and review the highlights of CALERIE 2 and report previously unpublished results on eating disorder symptoms and cognitive function. This article specifically summarizes the physiological, psychological, aging, behavioral, and safety results of the trial. Also provided are research directions beyond CALERIE 2 that highlight important opportunities to investigate the role of CR in aging, longevity, and health span in humans.

Women with GDM were classified into the following three physiologic subtypes: GDM with a predominant insulin-secretion defect (GDM-dysfunction), GDM with a predominant insulin-sensitivity defect (GDM-resistance), or GDM with both defects (GDM-mixed). We then used a binary logistic regression model to evaluate the potential associations of GDM subtypes and pre-BMI with newborn macrosomia or LGA. + + RESULTS: Women with GDM-resistance had a higher pre-BMI (P < 0.001), whereas women in the GDM-dysfunction and GDM-mixed groups had pre-BMIs comparable to the NGT group. In the logistic regression model, women in the GDM-mixed group exhibited an increased risk of bearing newborns with macrosomia and LGA, and women in the GDM-dysfunction group tended to have newborns with LGA after adjusting for pre-BMI and other potential confounders. Women who were overweight or obese prepregnancy manifested an increased risk of having newborns with macrosomia and LGA relative to normal-weight women, regardless of whether values were unadjusted or adjusted for all potential confounders. There was no significant interaction between GDM subtype and pre-BMI for any of the studied outcomes. + + CONCLUSIONS: Heterogeneity of GDM (GDM-dysfunction and GDM-mixed) and prepregnancy overweight/obesity were independently associated with LGA in Chinese women. There was no significant interaction between GDM subtypes and pre-BMI for LGA.

Aim of this study was to investigate hepatic and systemic DPP4 levels/activity in relation to NAFLD/NASH in individuals with and without metabolic disease. + + METHODS: We recruited fifty-two obese individuals undergoing bariatric surgery and intra-operative liver biopsy at Sapienza University, Rome, Italy. The association between DPP4 levels/activity and NAFLD was also evaluated in 126 non-obese individuals recruited in the same setting. + + RESULTS: NAFLD patients had significantly higher circulating DPP4 activity than no-NAFLD in both the obese and non-obese cohorts; plasma DPP4 activity and levels linearly correlated with steatosis grade and inflammation at the liver biopsy. Hepatic DPP4 mRNA was not associated to either its circulating levels/activity or NAFLD. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis on all the study participants (n = 178), higher circulating DPP4 activity was associated with NAFLD independently of potential confounders with OR (95% CI): 3.5 (1.2-10.21), p = 0.022. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the coexistence of increased plasma DPP4 levels and activity in NAFLD. Circulating DPP4 measurement may represent a novel cost-effective strategy for NAFLD/NASH risk stratification and a potential tool for monitoring disease's progression in established NAFLD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Methods: This was an observational cross-sectional study. Patients were classified as nonobese-PCOS (body mass index, BMI <30 kg/m2, n = 385), and obese-PCOS (BMI >=30 kg/m2, n = 261). The anthropometric parameters waist circumference, waist/hip ratio, lean body mass, fat body mass, visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulating product, and biomarkers of glucose and lipid metabolisms were compared between groups. Binominal logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of MS. Results: Obesity was diagnosed in 40% of all PCOS women (P < 0.001). Blood pressure and anthropometric abnormalities were significantly more frequent in obese-PCOS women (P < 0.001, for all comparisons). Glucose metabolism markers were higher in obese-PCOS compared with nonobese-PCOS (P < 0.001, for all comparisons). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol was lower in obese group than in nonobese group (1.26 mM vs. 1.08 mM, P < 0.001). MS was found in 23 of 385 (6%) nonobese-PCOS and in 116 of 261 (44.4%) obese-PCOS (P < 0.001). VAI was the best predictor of MS in both nonobese-PCOS (OR = 4.1, 95% CI 1.5-11.1) and obese-PCOS (OR = 12.9, 95% CI 5.7-29.0). Conclusions: MS is more prevalent in PCOS women with obesity. VAI was the strongest predictor of MS in both obese and nonobese PCOS women, and can be applied in clinical practice for early detection of risk for MS and precocious intervention in women with PCOS, particularly in obese women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

With the continuing obesity epidemic, increases in the incidence of endometrial cancer and a younger age of diagnosis are often attributed to a hyperestrogenic state created by hormone production in adipose tissue, but significant knowledge gaps remain. The balance of estrogen-responsive signals has not been defined in the endometrium of premenopausal women with obesity, where obesity may not create hyperestrogenism in the context of ovaries being the primary source of estrogen production. Obesity is associated with a state of low-grade, chronic inflammation that can promote tumorigenesis, and it is also known that hormonal changes alter the immune microenvironment of the endometrium. However, limited research has been conducted on endometrial immune-response changes in women who have an increased risk for cancer due to obesity. + + OBJECTIVE: Endometrial estrogen-regulated biomarkers, previously shown to be dysregulated in endometrial cancer, were evaluated in a cohort of premenopausal women to determine if obesity is associated with differences in the biomarker expression levels, which might reflect an altered risk of developing cancer. The expression of a multiplexed panel of immune-related genes was also evaluated for expression differences related to obesity. + + STUDY DESIGN: Premenopausal women with a body mass index of >=30 kg/m2 (n=97) or a body mass index of <=25 kg/m2 (n=33) were prospectively enrolled in this cross-sectional study, which included the assessment of serum metabolic markers and a timed endometrial biopsy for pathologic evaluation, hormone-regulated biomarker analysis, and immune response gene expression analysis. Medical and gynecologic histories were obtained. Endometrial gene expression markers were also compared across the body mass index groups in a previous cohort of premenopausal women with an inherited cancer risk (Lynch syndrome). + + RESULTS: In addition to known systemic metabolic differences, histologically normal endometria from women with obesity showed a decrease in gene expression of progesterone receptor (P=.0027) and the estrogen-induced genes retinaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (P=.008), insulin-like growth factor 1 (P=.016), and survivin (P=.042) when compared with women without obesity. The endometrial biomarkers insulin-like growth factor 1, survivin, and progesterone receptor remained statistically significant in multivariate linear regression models. In contrast, women with obesity and Lynch syndrome had an increased expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 (P=.017). There were no differences in endometrial proliferation, and limited endometrial immune differences were observed. + + CONCLUSION: When comparing premenopausal women with and without obesity in the absence of endometrial pathology or an inherited cancer risk, the expression of the endometrial biomarkers does not reflect a local hyperestrogenic environment, but it instead reflects a decreased cancer risk profile that may be indicative of a compensated state. In describing premenopausal endometrial cancer risk, it may be insufficient to attribute a high-risk state to obesity alone; further studies are warranted to evaluate individualized biomarker profiles for differences in the hormone-responsive signals or immune response. In patients with Lynch syndrome, the endometrial biomarker profile suggests that obesity further increases the risk of developing cancer. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

GPC4 was cleaved by the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (GPLD1) in an anchored site of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol, and then was released into the extracellular environment. Herein, we investigated the changes of serum GPC4 and GPLD1 levels in obese subjects with different glucose metabolism status and their relationship with adipose tissue insulin resistance index (Adipo-IR) in Chinese north populations. + + METHODS: A total of 221 obese subjects and 37 normal controls (NC) were recruited in this study. Obese subjects were divided into normal insulin (NI) group, hyperinsulinemia (HI) group, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) group, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) group. Serum GPC4, GPLD1, and adiponectin were determined by commercially available ELISA kits. + + RESULTS: Serum GPC4 levels in the HI, IGT, and DM groups were significantly higher than those in the NC and NI groups (2.27 +/- 0.58 ng/mL, 2.21 +/- 0.60 ng/mL, 2.49 +/- 0.67 ng/mL vs. 1.70 +/- 0.33 ng/mL, 1.93 +/- 0.34 ng/mL, P < 0.05). GPC4 was positively correlated with GPLD1, which was the most important influencing factor of GPC4. Adipo-IR was independently and positively associated with serum GPC4 and GPLD1. For GPC4, after adjustment for confounders, the risk of adipose tissue insulin resistance in subjects with the highest tertile was 2.974-fold that of those with the lowest tertile (OR = 2.974, P = 0.013). For GPLD1, before adjustment for lipids, the increased probability still existed (Model 2, OR = 3.568, P = 0.003). + + CONCLUSION: GPC4 is an adipokine associated with adipose tissue insulin resistance, and its activity may be regulated by GPLD1. GPC4 may be a marker for adipose tissue insulin resistance in Chinese north obese populations. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glypicans). 0 (Insulin).

These associations could be mediated by insulin resistance. However, the relationships among these metabolites, insulin resistance and NAFLD have not been thoroughly investigated. Moreover, it has recently been suggested that TMAO could play a role in NAFLD by altering bile acid metabolism. We examined the association between circulating TMAO, choline and betaine levels and NAFLD in obese subjects. + + METHODS: Serum TMAO, choline, betaine and bile acid levels were measured in 357 Mexican obese patients with different grades of NAFLD as determined by liver histology. Associations of NAFLD with TMAO, choline and betaine levels were tested. Moreover, association of TMAO levels with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) was tested separately in patients with and without T2D. + + RESULTS: TMAO and choline levels were significantly associated with NAFLD histologic features and NASH risk. While increased serum TMAO levels were significantly associated with NASH in patients with T2D, in non-T2D subjects this association lost significance after adjusting for sex, BMI and HOMA2-IR. Moreover, circulating secondary bile acids were associated both with increased TMAO levels and NASH. + + CONCLUSIONS: In obese patients, circulating TMAO levels were associated with NASH mainly in the presence of T2D. Functional studies are required to evaluate the role of insulin resistance and T2D in this association, both highly prevalent in NASH patients. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS.

We comprehensively investigated whether SDB, interacting with components of metabolic syndrome, hepatic and renal dysfunctions, low physical fitness, sedentary lifestyle, disrupted sleep, and chronic systemic inflammation (CSI), is directly associated with hyperuricaemia. In 528 community-based males (mean [SD] age 46.2 [7.4] years), we cross-sectionally analysed measures of anthropometry; self-reported lifestyle habits; overnight sleep polysomnography data; cardiopulmonary exercise tests; and biomarkers of cardiometabolic, hepatic, and renal functions; and CSI, using structural equation modelling. Objective disrupted sleep, C-reactive protein, low physical fitness, and sedentary lifestyle were not related to UA levels in univariate analysis and were excluded. The latent variables (with corresponding manifest variables) obesity (body mass index, waist-hip ratio), hypertension (post-sleep systolic, diastolic blood pressure), dyslipidaemia (total cholesterol, triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), hepatic dysfunction (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate transaminase), and renal dysfunction (blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine) were positively; and hyperglycaemia (fasting glucose, glycated haemoglobin) was negatively associated with hyperuricaemia (serum UA), except for SDB (Apnea-Hypopnea Index, percentage of oxygen saturation <90% period against total sleep time, oxygen desaturation index) in the one-stage influence model. In the two-stage model, SDB, closely interacting with obesity, was positively indirectly associated with hyperuricaemia through directly linked renal dysfunction and obesity-linked hypertension, inverse hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia, and hepatic dysfunction. In conclusion, structural equation modelling reveals that SDB closely interacts with obesity and is positively but indirectly related to hyperuricaemia in males. This suggests that urinary UA excretion modulates and obesity confounds the SDB-hyperuricaemia relationship.

Increased adipose tissue (AT) is particularly of interest because it activates a chronic inflammatory response in adipocytes and other tissues. AT plays key endocrine and metabolic functions, acting in the regulation of insulin sensitivity and energy homeostasis. Additionally, it can be easily collected during bariatric surgery. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the potential differences in AT metabolism, through comparing the untargeted metabolomic profiles of diabetic and non-diabetic obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. + + METHODS: For this exploratory study, samples were collected from 17 subjects. Subcutaneous AT (SAT) samples from obese-diabetic (n = 8) and Obese-non-Diabetic (n = 9) subjects were obtained from the Human Metabolic Tissue Bank. Untargeted metabolomic profiling was performed by Metabolon R Inc. Statistical analysis was performed using the MetaboAnalyst 4.0 platform. + + RESULTS: Among the 421 metabolites identified and analyzed there were no significant differences between the Obese-Diabetics and the Obese-non-Diabetics. Small changes were observed by fold change analysis mainly in lipid (n = 12; e.g. NEFAs) and amino acid (n = 8; e.g. BCAAs) metabolic pathways. Dysregulation of these metabolites has been associated with IR and other T2DM-related pathophysiological processes. + + CONCLUSION: Obesity may influence SAT metabolism masking T2DM-dependent dysregulation. Better understanding the metabolic differences within SAT in diabetic populations may help identify potential biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring of T2DM in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

African American (AA) patients with BC have higher serum IL-6 levels compared to Caucasians, suggesting additional risk of disease-related complications in AAs. The purpose of this study was to compare IL-6 complex biomarkers in AA women with and without a history of BC. We conducted a secondary analysis of phenotypic data from two studies of weight loss in AA women with and without a history of BC who had similar age and adiposity. Biomarkers analyzed included tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-6, IL-6 soluble receptor (IL6sr), and soluble glycoprotein 130 (GP130); IL6sr and GP130 were newly analyzed for this study. TNF-alpha levels were 1.86 times higher in the BC group (N = 7) compared to those without BC (N = 10; p < 0.001) despite similar age, weight, and body mass index. GP130 levels tended to be higher in women with BC; IL-6 and Il-6 sr were not different between groups. There was a strong correlation between GP130 and TNF-alpha (r = .638; p = .006) in the group overall. High TNF-alpha levels in the BC group and a strong correlation between GP130 and TNF-alpha in the overall group suggest the presence of IL-6 complex initiated TNF-alpha production. Further study is needed to evaluate IL-6 reduction through a variety of approaches, including weight loss and anti-IL-6 therapies, which may ultimately implicate the reduction of IL-6 complex associated BC-specific recurrence and mortality. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycoproteins). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Receptors, Interleukin-6). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 0 (glycoprotein 130, human). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Homeostatic regulations of feeding and energy balance, as well as hedonic eating, are regulated by leptin. + + AIMS: The aims of this study were (1) to assess eating behaviors of Algerian adults as measured by the 51-item eating inventory; we also evaluate changes in the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) scores according to the body mass index (BMI) category; (2) to examine the association between the scores of the three TFEQ factors and the BMI values of the participants; and (3) to examine whether leptin concentrations are associated with eating behavior. Our hypothesis is that participants with obesity and high concentrations of leptin might display uncontrolled eating behavior. + + METHODS: The subjects were 190 participants (60 obese, 60 overweight, and 70 lean subjects). The eating behavior was measured by using the 51-item eating inventory. Serum insulin concentrations were assessed by radioimmunoassay and were used to calculate homeostasis model assessment (HOMA). Serum leptin was quantified by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). + + RESULTS: Obese and overweight subjects showed hyperphagic behavior, i.e., uncontrolled eating. The logistic regression analysis showed an effect of leptin, HOMA, uncontrolled eating, and emotional eating on BMI. Leptin levels were associated with the uncontrolled eating and influenced by insulin sensitivity. + + CONCLUSIONS: The uncontrolled eating reflects hyperphagic eating behavior in obese and overweight subjects. Coexistence of uncontrolled eating and high level of leptin demonstrates a state of leptin resistance resulting in an inability to detect satiety. High circulating leptin can be considered a potential biomarker of uncontrolled eating. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2021 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med19&DO=10.1007%2fs11845-020-02316-1 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Benbaibeche&issn=0021-1265&title=Irish+Journal+of+Medical+Science&atitle=Leptin+level+as+a+biomarker+of+uncontrolled+eating+in+obesity+and+overweight.&volume=190&issue=1&spage=155&epage=161&date=2021&doi=10.1007%2Fs11845-020-02316-1&pmid=32681271&sid=OVID:medline + +<1060> +Unique Identifier + 32617979 +Title + Enalapril and treadmill running reduce adiposity, but only the latter causes adipose tissue browning in mice. +Source + Journal of Cellular Physiology. 236(2):900-910, 2021 02. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Giori IG; Magliano DC; Alexandre-Santos B; Fernandes T; Oliveira EM; Vieira CP; Conte-Junior CA; Ceddia RB; Nobrega ACL; Frantz EDC +Author NameID + Magliano, D'Angelo C; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0575-961X + Ceddia, Rolando B; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8888-1281 + Nobrega, Antonio C L; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3830-2886 + Frantz, Eliete D C; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1747-5614 +Authors Full Name + Giori, Isabele G; Magliano, D'Angelo C; Alexandre-Santos, Beatriz; Fernandes, Tiago; Oliveira, Edilamar M; Vieira, Carla P; Conte-Junior, Carlos A; Ceddia, Rolando B; Nobrega, Antonio C L; Frantz, Eliete D C. +Institution + Giori, Isabele G.

C57BL/6 mice were fed either a standard chow or a high-fat (HF) diet for 16 weeks. At Week 8, HF-fed animals were divided into sedentary (HF), enalapril (HF-E), AET (HF-T), and enalapril plus AET (HF-ET) groups. Subsequently, sWAT was extracted for morphometry, determination of RAS expression, and biomarkers of WAT browning. The HF group displayed adipocyte hypertrophy and induction of the classical RAS axis. Conversely, all interventions reduced adiposity and induced the counterregulatory RAS axis. However, only AET raised plasma irisin, increased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha, and uncoupling protein-1 levels, and the expression of PR-domain containing 16 in sWAT. Therefore, we concluded that AET-induced sWAT browning was independent of the counterregulatory axis shifting of RAS in HF diet-induced obesity.

Worryingly, it has been increasingly reported among nonobese patients. This study aims to analyse patient characteristics of biopsy-proven NAFLD in an Asian cohort and explore differences stratified by body mass index (BMI). + + METHODS: Clinical, laboratory, and histological data were collected from 263 adults with biopsy-proven NAFLD. Patients with and without obesity (BMI cut-off 25) were compared. The ability to predict advanced liver fibrosis with three non-invasive scores, the NAFLD Fibrosis score (NFS), Fibrosis-4 (FIB4), and the aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI), was compared. + + RESULTS: Obese subjects had a lower mean age (49.5 +/- 12.5 vs 54.0 +/- 12.9 years, P = 0.017), a higher prevalence of diabetes (52.4% vs 36.8%, P = 0.037), and a higher waist circumference (113.9 +/- 16.0 cm vs 87.0 +/- 18.4 cm, P = 0.022). The prevalence of dyslipidaemia (68.0% vs 61.4%, P = 0.353) and hypertension (61.7% vs 49.1%, P = 0.190) was comparable between the two groups. The distribution of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (63.1% versus 61.4%, P = 0.710) and advanced fibrosis (31.6% versus 26.3%, P = 0.447) were also similar in both groups. All three non-invasive scores (NFS, FIB4, and APRI) performed poorly in predicting advanced fibrosis in nonobese patients with NAFLD. The FIB4 was the most accurate non-invasive score in predicting advanced fibrosis in the obese group. + + CONCLUSIONS: Obese and nonobese patients are equally at risk of NASH and advanced fibrosis. While the FIB4 is the most accurate non-invasive score in predicting advanced fibrosis among obese individuals, further research is warranted to develop a nonobese specific score to correctly identify nonobese NAFLD patients with advanced fibrosis.

Forty three PCOS women were randomly assigned to two groups: one group received 200 mg CoQ10 capsules per day (n = 22) and the other received placebo (n = 21) for 8 weeks. Biomarkers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction including high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin were measured and compared before and after the intervention. + + RESULTS: At the end of study, compared with pldacebo, CoQ10 supplementation resulted in significant decreases in serum levels of TNF-alpha (p = 0.009), hs-CRP and IL-6 (p = 0.001, p = 0.007, respectively). In addition, supplementation with CoQ10 resulted in a significant reduction in serum VCAM-1 (p = .002) and E-selectin (p = .006) compared with the control group. There were no significant differences for serum ICAM-1. + + CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that CoQ10 supplementation for 8 weeks had a beneficial effect on inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction markers in overweight and obese patients with PCOS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Vitamins). 1339-63-5 (Ubiquinone).

To validate this correlation, we investigated the correlation between serum HMWA and proinsulin, a marker of beta-cell dysfunction, in this population. A total of 488 participants (53.9% women) aged 35-79 years not taking oral hypoglycemic agents and/or insulin were enrolled. HMWA was significantly and inversely correlated with proinsulin adjusted for age and sex (partial regression coefficient beta = -0.37; 95% confidence interval -0.46 to -0.28). When the participants were divided into two groups by median values of body mass index (23.2 kg/m2 ), serum insulin (4.3 microU/mL) or homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (1.0), similar inverse correlations were observed adjusted for age and sex in both groups. Our results showed that the HMWA level was inversely correlated with the proinsulin level in a general Japanese population. Copyright © 2020 The Authors.

This study aimed to assess ultra-processed food intake and its association with urinary levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a biomarker of DNA oxidative damage, in 139 healthy adolescents in Karaj City in Iran. Usual dietary intake was measured using a 168-item validated FFQ. The daily intake of ultra-processed food consumption was determined through the classification of NOVA, and general linear models were used to compare the urinary levels of 8-OHdG/creatinine (ng/mg creatinine) within tertiles of ultra-processed food intake. Adolescents in the higher tertile of ultra-processed food consumption had a significantly higher mean level of urinary 8-OHdG/creatinine in comparison with the lower tertiles in the crude model (Pfor trend: 0.003) and after adjustment for confounding variables, including total energy intake, sex, age, BMI for age Z-score, obesity and physical activity (Pfor trend: 0.004). This association was still significant after adjusting for dietary intake of whole grains, nuts, legumes, the ratio of MUFA:SFA (g/d) and Mediterranean dietary score (Pfor trend: 0.002). More studies are needed to explore the determinants of ultra-processed food supply, demand, consumption and health effects; such studies should be applied to develop evidence-informed policies and regulatory mechanisms to improve children's and adolescents' food environment policymaking and legislation with special attention to ultra-processed food. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 88847-89-6 (8-Hydroxy-2'-Deoxyguanosine). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, the association between circulating CTRP6 and obesity in humans is still unclear. + + METHODS: 256 individuals, including 185 overweight/obese (OW/OB) and 71 normal weight adults, were recruited for this study. Circulating concentrations of CTRP6 and adiponectin (Adipoq) were examined by ELISA. + + RESULTS: Serum CTRP6 levels in obese individuals were significantly increased compared with those in healthy individuals (506.1+/-134.9 vs.363.3+/-80.5 ng/mL, P<0.01). Conversely, serum Adipoq concentrations in OW/OB individuals were markedly decreased compared with healthy controls [20.8 (12.1-29.3) vs. 14.1 ( 8.61-17.7) ; P<0.01]. Correlation analysis revealed that there was a positive relationship between circulating CTRP6 and age, BMI, Fat%, LDL-C, TG, WHR, TC, FBG, FIns, HOMA-IR and HbA1c, but there was an inverse correlation with Adipoq and HDL-C. Logistic regression analysis revealed that high serum CTRP6 levels are markedly associated with OW/OB. Finally, ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value for serum CTRP6 for prediction of IR is 518 ng/mL. + + CONCLUSIONS: CTRP6 may be a marker related to OW/OB. Copyright Thieme.

This study aimed to characterize the association between clinical outcomes in patients with obesity and inflammatory markers. + + METHODS: We analyzed data for patients aged >=18 years admitted with a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test. We used multivariate logistic regression to determine the association between BMI and intensive care unit (ICU) transfer and all-cause mortality. Inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein [CRP], lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], ferritin, and D-dimer) were compared between patients with and without obesity (body mass index [BMI] >=30 kg/m2). + + RESULTS: Of 791 patients with Covid-19, 361 (45.6%) had obesity. In multivariate analyses, BMI >=35 was associated with a higher odds of ICU transfer (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.388 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.074-5.310) and hospital mortality (aOR = 4.3, 95% CI: 1.69-10.82). Compared to those with BMI<30, patients with obesity had lower ferritin (444 vs 637 ng/mL; p<0.001) and lower D-dimer (293 vs 350 mcg/mL; p = 0.009), non-significant differences in CRP (72.8 vs 84.1 mg/L, p = 0.099), and higher LDH (375 vs 340, p = 0.009) on the first hospital day. + + CONCLUSIONS: Patients with obesity were more likely to have poor outcomes even without increased inflammation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Diseases that were once only detected in adults are now prevalent in children, such as hyperlipidemia. The adipose tissue-derived hormonal factor C1q TNF Related Protein 3 (CTRP3) has been linked to triglyceride regulation especially in animal models. However, the relationship between circulating CTRP3 levels and obesity-related disorders in human subjects is controversial. CTRP3 can circulate in different oligomeric complexes: trimeric (<100 kDa), middle molecular weight (100-300 kDa), and high molecular weight (HMW) oligomeric complexes (>300 kDa). Previous work has identified that it is not the total amount of CTRP3 present in the serum, but the specific circulating oligomeric complexes that appear to be indicative of the relationship between CTRP3 and serum lipids levels. However, this work has not been examined in children. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the levels of different oligomeric complexes of CTRP3 and circulating lipid levels among young children (aged 7-10 years). + + METHODS: Morphometric data and serum samples were collected and analyzed from a cross-sectional population of 62 children of self-identified Hispanic origin from a community health center, between 2015 and 2016. Serum analysis included adiponectin, insulin, leptin, ghrelin, glucagon, C-reactive peptide, triglyceride, cholesterol, IL-6, TNF, and CTRP3. Correlation analyses were conducted to explore the relationships between CTRP3 and other biomarkers. + + RESULTS: Total CTRP3 concentrations were significantly positively correlated with total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. Whereas, HMW CTRP3 was not significantly associated with any variable measured. Conversely, the middle molecular weight (MMW) CTRP3 was negatively correlated with triglycerides levels, and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), insulin, and body mass index (BMI). The negative correlations between MMW CTRP3 and triglycerides and VLDLs were particularly strong (r2 = -0.826 and -0.827, respectively). + + CONCLUSION: Overall, these data indicate that the circulating oligomeric state of CTRP3 and not just total CTRP3 level is important for understanding the association between CTRP3 and metabolic diseases. Further, this work indicates that MMW CTRP3 plays an important role in triglyceride and VLDL regulation which requires further study. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (C1QTNF3 protein, human). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Triglycerides). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

AN is associated with various other cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs). However, the direct causal relationship of IR with AN in obesity has been debated. Therefore, we aimed to examine the complex causal relationships among the troika of AN, obesity, and IR in Mexican Americans (MAs). + + METHODS: We used data from 670 non-diabetic MA children, aged 6-17 years (49% girls). AN (prevalence 33%) severity scores (range 0-5) were used as a quasi-quantitative trait (AN-q) for analysis. We used the program SOLAR for determining phenotypic, genetic, and environmental correlations between AN-q and CMRFs (e.g., BMI, HOMA-IR, lipids, blood pressure, hs-C-reactive protein (CRP), and Harvard physical fitness score (PFS)). The genetic and environmental correlations were subsequently used in mediation analysis (AMOS program). Model comparisons were made using goodness-of-fit indexes. + + RESULTS: Heritability of AN-q was 0.75 (p<0.0001). It was positively/significantly (p<0.05) correlated with traits such as BMI, HOMA-IR, and CRP, and negatively with HDL-C and PFS. Of the models tested, indirect mediation analysis of BMI->HOMA-IR->AN-q yielded lower goodness-of-fit than a partial mediation model where BMI explained the relationship with both HOMA-IR and AN-q simultaneously. Using complex models, BMI was associated with AN-q and IR mediating most of the CMRFs; but no relationship between IR and AN-q. + + CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that obesity explains the association of IR with AN, but no causal relationship between IR and AN in Mexican American children. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Levels of oxidative damage to DNA and RNA can be estimated through measurement of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (8-oxoGuo) in urine. Both markers have been associated with type 2 diabetes, where especially 8-oxoGuo is prognostic for mortality risk. We hypothesized that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery that has considerable effects on bodyweight, hyperglycemia and mortality, might be working through mechanisms that reduce oxidative stress, thereby reducing levels of the urinary markers. We used liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry to analyze the content of 8-oxodG and 8-oxoGuo in urinary samples from 356 obese patients treated with the RYGB-procedure. Mean age (SD) was 44.2 (9.6) years, BMI was 42.1 (5.6) kg/m2. Ninety-six (27%) of the patients had type 2 diabetes. Excretion levels of each marker before and after surgery were compared as estimates of the total 24-hour excretion, using a model based on glomerular filtration rate (calculated from cystatin C, age, height and weight), plasma- and urinary creatinine. The excretion of 8-oxodG increased in the first months after RYGB. For 8-oxoGuo, a gradual decrease was seen. Two years after RYGB and a mean weight loss of 35 kg, decreased hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, excretion levels of both markers were reduced by approximately 12% (P < 0.001). For both markers, mean excretion levels were about 30% lower in the female subgroup (P < 0.0001). Also, in this subgroup, excretion of 8-oxodG was significantly lower in patients with than without diabetes. We conclude, that oxidative damage to nucleic acids, reflected in the excretion of 8-oxodG and 8-oxoGuo, had decreased significantly two years after RYGB-indicating that reduced oxidative stress could be contributing to the many long-term benefits of RYGB-surgery in obesity and type 2 diabetes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 63231-63-0 (RNA). 88847-89-6 (8-Hydroxy-2'-Deoxyguanosine). 9007-49-2 (DNA). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the anti-obesity efficacy of vinegar fermented using Cudrania tricuspidata fruits (CTFV) and its main phenolic constituents and to analyze its molecular mechanism and changes in obesity-related metabolizing enzymatic activities. We found that HFD significantly caused hepatic steatosis; increases in body fats, feed efficiency, liver mass, lipids, insulin, oxidative parameters, cardiovascular-associated risk indices, lipase and alpha-amylase activities, whereas CTFV efficaciously attenuated HFD-induced oxidant stress, fat accumulation, obesity-related enzymatic activity, and the activation or reduction of obesity-related molecular reactions via improving metabolic parameters including phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate 1, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B, phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinases, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein, and fatty acid synthase; and decreases in adiponectin receptor 1, leptin receptor, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, subsequently ameliorating HFD-induced obesity. Therefore, CTFV might provide a functional food resource or nutraceutical product for reducing body fat accumulation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Polyphenols).

They took part in a home interview surveying socioeconomic, demographic, lifestyle, morbidities, and functional data. Blood was collected for biochemical marker analysis and participants' body composition was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. For women, the diagnosis of sarcopenic obesity was defined at a body fat percentage >=38% and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMMI) <5.45 kg/m2. For men, a fat percentage >=27% and ASMMI <7.26 kg/m2 was defined as sarcopenic obesity. Multivariate analysis was performed using a multinomial regression model (95% confidence intervals), with sarcopenic obesity as the outcome. + + RESULTS: The prevalence of sarcopenic obesity was 29.3%. In the final fitted model, the variables that displayed statistically significant association with sarcopenic obesity were lower gait speed, self-reported medical diagnosis of arthrosis or arthritis, and high levels of glycemia. + + CONCLUSION: The study showed a high prevalence of sarcopenic obesity in non-institutionalized older adults in Brazil. The finding that this condition was associated with modifiable risk factors may provide insights into measures directed at prevention and reduction of the risk of sarcopenic obesity in this population subgroup. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.6061%2fclinics%2f2020%2fe1814 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=de+Campos&issn=1807-5932&title=Clinics+%28Sao+Paulo%2C+Brazil%29&atitle=Prevalence+of+Sarcopenic+Obesity+and+its+Association+with+Functionality%2C+Lifestyle%2C+Biomarkers+and+Morbidities+in+Older+Adults%3A+the+FIBRA-RJ+Study+of+Frailty+in+Older+Brazilian+Adults.&volume=75&issue=&spage=e1814&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.6061%2Fclinics%2F2020%2Fe1814&pmid=33263630&sid=OVID:medline + +<1072> +Unique Identifier + 33152746 +Title + Cross-sectional relationship among different anthropometric parameters and cardio-metabolic risk factors in a cohort of patients with overweight or obesity. +Source + PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 15(11):e0241841, 2020. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Lampignano L; Zupo R; Donghia R; Guerra V; Castellana F; Murro I; Di Noia C; Sardone R; Giannelli G; De Pergola G +Author NameID + Lampignano, Luisa; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9299-3211 + Zupo, Roberta; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9885-1185 + Donghia, Rossella; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9140-673X +Authors Full Name + Lampignano, Luisa; Zupo, Roberta; Donghia, Rossella; Guerra, Vito; Castellana, Fabio; Murro, Isanna; Di Noia, Carmen; Sardone, Rodolfo; Giannelli, Gianluigi; De Pergola, Giovanni. +Institution + Lampignano, Luisa.

This study was aimed at identifying the anthropometric parameters more strongly associated with the majority of cardio-metabolic risk factors. + + METHODS: This study included 1214 subjects (840 women), with a body-mass-index (BMI) >= 25 Kg/m2, aged 39.2 +/- 13 years. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglycerides (TG), total, HDL- and LDL-cholesterol, uric acid, vitamin D, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), white blood cells (WBC), platelets, insulin and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), smoking habit and snoring were evaluated as cardio-metabolic risk factors. We also included the Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) to estimate cardiovascular risk in our study population. BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height-ratio (WHtR) and neck circumference (NC) were evaluated as anthropometric parameters. + + RESULTS: All four anthropometric parameters were positively associated to SBP, DBP, TG, FBG, insulin, HOMA-IR, WBC, and snoring (p<0.001), and negatively associated with HDL-cholesterol (p<0.001). NC showed a positive association with LDL-cholesterol (beta = 0.76; p = 0.01; 95% C.I. 0.19 to 1.32), while vitamin D was negatively associated to WC (beta = -0.16; p<0.001; 95% C.I. -0.24 to -0.09), BMI (beta = 0.42); p<0.001; 95% C.I. -0.56 to -0.28) and WHtR (beta = -24.46; p<0.001; 95% C.I. -37 to -11.9). Hs-CRP was positively correlated with WC (beta = 0.003; p = 0.003; 95% C.I. 0.001 to 0.006), BMI (beta = 0.01; p = 0.02; 95% C.I. 0.001 to 0.012) and WHtR (beta = 0.55; p = 0.01; 95% C.I. 0.14 to 0.96).

High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity is associated with the activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). However, the role of ERS in HFD-induced AF remains elusive. Human atrium samples were examined for the ERS activation test. C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups, including the control group, the HFD group, the 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) group, and the HFD + 4-PBA group. At the age of 4 weeks, the HFD group and the HFD + 4-PBA group were given HFD to construct the obesity model, while the other two groups were given a normal diet (ND). Transesophageal programmed electrical stimulation was conducted to evaluate the AF inducibility and duration. Atrial fibrosis and ERS activation were also investigated. We found that CHOP and GRP-78 protein were significantly higher in overweight patients than the controls (both P < 0.05). AF inducibility and duration of the HFD group were significantly higher than the other groups (both P < 0.05), while there was no difference between those groups (P > 0.05). The mice of the HFD group had significantly higher collagen volume fraction (CVF%) than the other groups (P < 0.05). ERS marker protein of GRP78, p-PERK, ATF6 and CHOP protein expression level was increased in the HFD group, which were significantly mitigated in the HFD + 4-PBA group. In summary, HFD-induced ERS activation facilitates atrial fibrosis and AF. The inhibition of ERS might alleviate atrial fibrosis and reduce the incidence of AF-associated obesity.

Nevertheless, consistent data reported a slight increase in serum levels of the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and a higher rate of conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3) in obesity. This cross-sectional study was aimed at investigating the relationship between adherence to the Med-Diet and circulating thyroid hormones in a cohort of overweight/obese subjects from Apulia (Southern Italy). Methods: We studied 324 consecutive outpatient subjects (228 women and 96 men, age range 14-72 years) taking no drug therapy and showing normal levels of thyroid hormones, but complicated by overweight and obesity (body mass index (BMI) >= 25 Kg/m2). The PREDIMED (PREvencion con DIeta MEDiterranea) questionnaire was cross-sectionally administered to assess the adherence to the Med-Diet, and hormonal, metabolic, and routine laboratory parameters were collected. Results: Higher adherence to Med-Diet was found to be inversely related to free T3 (p < 0.01) and T4 (p < 0.01) serum levels. Considering each item in the PREDIMED questionnaire, people consuming at least four spoonfuls of extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) per day, as well as those consuming at least two servings of vegetables per day, had lower free T3 levels (p 0.033 and p 0.021, respectively). Furthermore, consuming at least four spoonfuls of EVOO per day was found to be associated to lower free T4 serum concentrations (p 0.011). Multinomial logistic regression models, performed on tertiles of thyroid hormones to further investigate the relationship with Med-Diet, corroborated the significance only for free T4. Conclusion: Increased adherence to the Med-Diet was independently associated to a slightly reduced thyroid function, but still within the reference range for free T3 and T4 serum levels. This first finding in this field opens up a research line on any underlying biological interplay. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Olive Oil). 06LU7C9H1V (Triiodothyronine). 9002-71-5 (Thyrotropin).

This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the Population Health Unit of the National Institute of Gastroenterology IRCCS "S. de Bellis" (Italy) and investigating the extent to which skeletal MM affects thyroid function in obesity. Two hundred twenty-seven consecutive healthy volunteers (155 women and 72 men) with overweight and obesity (BMI >= 25 kg/m2) and taking no medication or supplement were assessed for hormone, metabolic and routine laboratory parameters. Body composition parameters were collected by using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). MM was directly related to the body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), insulin, triglycerides, uric acid and free-triiodothyronine (FT3) serum levels, FT3 to the free-thyroxine (FT4) ratio, and insulin-resistance (HOMA-IR), and inversely related to age, total, and HDL-cholesterol serum levels. Multiple regression models confirmed the relationship between MM and the FT3 to FT4 ratio, independently of age, BMI, TSH, triglycerides, and insulin serum levels. The same analyses run by gender showed that this relationship maintained significance only in men. Increased skeletal MM in obesity results in improved thyroid activity mediated by increased T4 conversion to T3, and higher FT3 circulating levels, particularly in men. In conclusion, preserving a greater skeletal MM in obesity helps to enhance thyroid activity. + + Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT04327375.

The DNA methylation pattern can be the cause or consequence of high blood lipids. The aim of the study was to investigate the DNA methylation profile in peripheral leukocytes associated with elevated LDL-cholesterol level in overweight and obese individuals. + + METHODS: To identify the differentially methylated genes, genome-wide DNA methylation microarray analysis was performed in leukocytes of obese individuals with high LDL-cholesterol (LDL-CH, >= 3.4 mmol/L) versus control obese individuals with LDL-CH, < 3.4 mmol/L. Biochemical tests such as serum glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin, leptin, adiponectin, FGF19, FGF21, GIP and total plasma fatty acids content have been determined. Oral glucose and lipid tolerance tests were also performed. Human DNA Methylation Microarray (from Agilent Technologies) containing 27,627 probes for CpG islands was used for screening of DNA methylation status in 10 selected samples. Unpaired t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test were used for biochemical and anthropometric parameters statistics. For microarrays analysis, fold of change was calculated comparing hypercholesterolemic vs control group. The q-value threshold was calculated using moderated Student's t-test followed by Benjamini-Hochberg multiple test correction FDR. + + RESULTS: In this preliminary study we identified 190 lipid related CpG loci differentially methylated in hypercholesterolemic versus control individuals. Analysis of DNA methylation profiles revealed several loci engaged in plasma lipoprotein formation and metabolism, cholesterol efflux and reverse transport, triglycerides degradation and fatty acids transport and beta-oxidation. Hypermethylation of CpG loci located in promoters of genes regulating cholesterol metabolism: PCSK9, LRP1, ABCG1, ANGPTL4, SREBF1 and NR1H2 in hypercholesterolemic patients has been found. Novel epigenetically regulated CpG sites include ABCG4, ANGPTL4, AP2A2, AP2M1, AP2S1, CLTC, FGF19, FGF1R, HDLBP, LIPA, LMF1, LRP5, LSR, NR1H2 and ZDHHC8 genes. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that obese individuals with hypercholesterolemia present specific DNA methylation profile in genes related to lipids transport and metabolism. Detailed knowledge of epigenetic regulation of genes, important for lipid disorders in obesity, underlies the possibility to influence target genes by changing diet and lifestyle, as DNA methylation is reversible and depends on environmental factors. These findings give rise for further studies on factors that targets methylation of revealed genes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We investigated all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) effect on mRNA expression of key lipid metabolism and inflammatory genes in PBMCs from normal-weight (NW) and overweight-obese (OW-OB) men with different metabolic syndrome-related features. PBMCs were incubated with 10 microM ATRA and mRNA levels of selected genes were analyzed using real-time RT-qPCR. Human ex vivo PBMCs responded to ATRA treatment, but the response for some genes was dependent on body mass index (BMI), with a lower response in PBMC from OW-OB than from NW donors. Moreover, gene expression response was affected by circulating high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels. Particularly, the response to ATRA of CPT1A, previously reported as a sensitive metabolic risk predictive biomarker, was dependent on HDL levels and not on BMI, being impaired in those individuals with lower HDL levels, specifically in OW-OB. Thus, PBMCs' insensitivity to ATRA, which can be considered as indicative of impaired metabolism, was observed in individuals with higher metabolic risk (OW-OB with low HDL levels). In conclusion, an ex vivo human PBMC system indicates that ATRA response could be influenced by metabolic syndrome features. Moreover, our study reinforces the role of CPT1A as a marker of metabolic risk and points to plasmatic HDL-cholesterol levels as a parameter to take into consideration when the effects of nutritional factors and/or dietary interventions on humans are under study. Further studies including women are required to detect potential gender differences in the observed effects. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (RNA, Messenger). 5688UTC01R (Tretinoin).

These are typically energy-dense, nutrient-poor and contribute to the rising prevalence of obesity and chronic disease burden. The aims of this study were to evaluate whether a community-based cooking program instigated a change to participants' skills, attitudes, knowledge, enjoyment and satisfaction of cooking and cooking confidence (self-efficacy). + + METHODS: The pseudo-random, pre-post study design consisted of an intervention and a control group. Participant recruitment and group allocation was based on their program start dates. Intervention participants were surveyed three times (baseline, 7 weeks and 6 months) and the control group were surveyed at baseline and 5 weeks. All participants were registered via an online website and were 18 years or over. Upon consent, participants were offered four levels of commitment, defined by different assessments. The minimum participation level included an online survey and levels 2, 3 and 4 involved attendance at a clinic with increasing functional, anthropometric and biomarker measurements. Primary endpoints were participants' cooking confidence as a proxy for self-efficacy. Secondary endpoints were dietary intake, physical activity levels, body composition, anthropometry, blood, urine and faecal biomarkers of systemic, physical and mental health. + + DISCUSSION: The community cooking program provided participants with information and advice on food sourcing, preparation and nutrition to improve home cooking skills. The study was designed to explore whether food literacy programs are efficacious in improving participant physical health and well-being in order to combat the rise in obesity and diet-related disease. It will support future use of public health cooking program initiatives aimed at improving food literacy, self-efficacy and physical and mental health. The extensive data collected will inform future research into the relationship between diet, the gut-microbiota and human health. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: Retrospectively registered on 16.08.2019 with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR).

This prospective study included data from men aged >55 years with type 2 diabetes. ED was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function 15-item survey. Total testosterone (TT) levels and bioavailable testosterone were measured; the free testosterone index was calculated. Data from 155 men (aged 64 +/- 7 years) were explored. The prevalence of ED and testosterone deficiency was 78.7% and 34.8%, respectively. After univariate analysis, TT and bioavailable testosterone were associated with ED (P = 0.01). After multivariate analysis, and adjustment for age, body mass index, tobacco, alcohol, duration of diabetes, TT, bioavailable testosterone, vitamin D and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, we found that only high-sensitivity C-reactive protein was significantly predictive of ED. TT could predict ED, but it lacks specificity. We found a potential role of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein as a predictive marker of ED in this targeted population. Copyright © 2019 The Authors.

Linear mixed effects models were used to analyze repeated measurements of oral glucose tolerance tests. + + RESULTS: The slope of the regression line of beta-cell function for the duration of the diabetes mellitus group was -2.2%/year before the diagnosis. The slope differed after the diagnosis, and the difference was 1.3. The slope of the diabetic type group was -1.2%/year, and no significant difference was observed in the slope before and after the diagnosis. beta-Cell function at the onset was 54.3% in the diabetic type group and 40.6% in the diabetes mellitus group, and the slope of the regression line was significantly higher in the diabetes mellitus group. We divided the diabetes mellitus and diabetic type with HbA1c <6.5 groups into obese and non-obese participants. beta-Cell function declined more with obesity. + + CONCLUSIONS: Subsequent declines in beta-cell function were faster in the diabetes mellitus group than that in the diabetic type with HbA1c <6.5 group, and increased with obesity.

Participants without T2DM at baseline were selected for analyses. The obesity markers were evaluated at the beginning of the study, and the development of T2DM was determined at 30 months of follow-up. The predictive performance of the markers was calculated using areas under the curve (AUC), and sensitivity and specificity of the best cutoff points were estimated. + + RESULTS: A total of 2510 participants with no diabetes at baseline, median age 54.1 years (inter-quartile range: 44.6 to 63.5), were included in the analysis. The cumulative incidence of T2DM at 30 months of follow-up was 4.7%. All the AUC studied for obesity markers and TBF% were poor. + + CONCLUSIONS: We found that obesity markers had a poor predictive performance (AUC) for the incidence of T2DM when used alone. The BMI, WC and WHtR had better performance for the incidence of T2DM relative to the WHR among women, and no differences in performance between obesity markers were found among men.

In mice, intravenous administration of interleukin-22 (IL-22) ameliorates various disease phenotypes associated with diet-induced metabolic syndrome. In patients, oral treatment is favored over intravenous treatment, but methodologies to deliver IL-22 via the oral route are nonexistent. The goal of this study was to assess to what extent engineered Lactobacillus reuteri secreting IL-22 could ameliorate nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. We used a mouse model of diet-induced obesity and assessed various markers of metabolic syndrome following treatment with L. reuteri and a recombinant derivative. Mice that received an 8-week treatment of wild-type probiotic gained less weight and had a smaller fat pad than the control group, but these phenotypes were not further enhanced by recombinant L. reuteri However, L. reuteri secreting IL-22 significantly reduced liver weight and triglycerides at levels that exceeded those of the probiotic wild-type treatment group. Our findings are interesting in light of the observed phenotypes associated with reduced nonalcoholic liver disease, in humans the most prevalent chronic liver disease, following treatment of a next-generation probiotic that is administered orally. Once biological and environmental containment strategies are in place, therapeutic applications of recombinant Lactobacillus reuteri are on the horizon. IMPORTANCE In humans, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disease due to the increased prevalence of obesity. While treatment of NAFLD is often geared toward lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, the use of dietary supplements such as probiotics is underinvestigated. Here, we report that probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri reduces fatty liver in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. This phenotype was further enhanced upon delivery of recombinant interleukin-22 by engineered Lactobacillus reuteri These observations pave the road to a better understanding of probiotic mechanisms driving the reduction of diet-induced steatosis and to development of next-generation probiotics for use in the clinic. Ultimately, these studies may lead to rational selection of (engineered) probiotics to ameliorate fatty liver disease.

High plasma dp-ucMGP concentrations reflect a low vitamin K status and have been related to vascular calcification. Our aims were to assess plasma levels of dp-ucMGP and their association with cardiovascular risk in a general population. + + METHODS: Plasma dp-ucMGP measurements were performed using the IDS-iSYS InaKtif MGP assay in 491 consecutive participants in a Danish general population study (229 males and 262 females, aged 19-71 years). Multivariable linear and logistic regressions were used to assess the association between dp-ucMGP levels and cardiovascular risk factors. + + RESULTS: Mean +/- standard deviation (SD) for dp-ucMGP was 465 +/- 181 pmol/L, and upper 95th percentile was 690 pmol/L. In logistic regression analyses, an increase in dp-ucMGP category (<300, 300-399, 400-499, >=500 pmol/L) was positively associated with obesity, odds ratio (OR) 2.27 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.54-3.33), history of cardiovascular disease, OR 1.77 (CI 1.02-3.05), and above-median estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV), OR 1.54 (CI 1.21-1.96), when adjusted for age, sex, and lifestyle factors. 1 SD increase in diastolic and systolic blood pressure (BP) corresponded to a 5.5% (CI 2.9-8.0%) and 4.7% (CI 2.1-7.4%) increase in dp-ucMGP, respectively, when adjusted for age and sex. + + CONCLUSION: Plasma dp-ucMGP levels were positively associated with obesity, BP, ePWV, and history of cardiovascular disease. These findings support that dp-ucMGP is a biomarker of cardiovascular risk, and that vitamin K status could play a role in vascular calcification. The strong association with obesity deserves further attention. Copyright © 2020 The Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Adolescent girls with obesity (n = 44, aged 13-19 years) were randomized into a 12-week intervention as follows: (i) dietary advice and HIIT (n = 22), and (ii) dietary advice only (n = 22). The concentration of biomarkers of inflammation, biochemical and hormonal testing, oral glucose tolerance test, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity levels, and nutrition were assessed. After a 3-month intervention, the diet+HIIT group significantly increased insulin sensitivity index (-0.34 +/- 1.52 vs. 1.05 +/- 3.21; p = 0.001) and work load (0.6 +/- 11.3 W vs. 14.6 +/- 20.2 W; p = 0.024) and decreased glucose area under the curve (-0.29 +/- 4.69 vs. -0.98 +/- 4.06; p = 0.040), insulin area under the curve (-9.65 +/- 117.9 vs. -98.7 +/- 201.8; p = 0.003), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (0.12 +/- 1.92 mg/L vs. -1.47 +/- 3.67 mg/L; p = 0.039) in comparison with the diet group. Regarding within-group changes, both groups had significant improvements in body mass index (BMI), BMI-standard deviation score, body fat percentage, and systolic blood pressure. Positive impact on waist circumference, waist circumference/height ratio, diastolic blood pressure, hs-CRP, work load, maximal heart rate, and resting heart rate was observed only after the diet+HIIT intervention. No significant change was noted in peak oxygen uptake, lipid profile, and hormonal parameters between groups after intervention. Novelty HIIT and nutrition advice increased insulin sensitivity and decreased BMI, body fat, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure.

Micronutrient insufficiency and clinical deficiency are more common in middle-aged to older adults, and multivitamin use has been shown to improve status in this population. This analysis aimed to assess contributions of sporadic and consistent multivitamin use to total usual micronutrient intakes and associated nutritional biomarkers among middle-aged to older US adults age >=51 years, stratified by obesity status. Self-reported dietary intake and laboratory measures from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used in these analyses. The National Cancer Institute method was used to assess usual intakes of 18 micronutrients. Compared with food alone, multivitamin use was associated with a lower prevalence of inadequacies and improved nutritional biomarker status for folate, iodine, selenium, and vitamins B6, B12, and D. Consistent use decreased the prevalence of inadequacy for most micronutrients assessed, except for those micronutrients typically not found (or in miniscule amounts) in standard multivitamin products. In addition to a lower prevalence of inadequacy for many micronutrients associated with consistent use of multivitamins, sporadic use decreased the prevalence of inadequacy for a greater number of micronutrients in obese versus nonobese individuals. Multivitamin use (sporadic and consistent) also increased the proportion of individuals who exceeded the tolerable upper intake level for folic acid to 8%-10%. Nutritional biomarker data indicate that obese individuals may be at greater risk of clinical deficiency in vitamins B6 and D. Use of gender- and age-specific multivitamins may serve as a practical means to increase micronutrient status and decrease prevalences of clinical deficiency in the middle-aged to older population, particularly in those who are obese. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Micronutrients). 0 (Vitamins). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1080%2f19390211.2019.1645785 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Frankenfeld&issn=1939-0211&title=Journal+of+Dietary+Supplements&atitle=Multivitamins+and+Nutritional+Adequacy+in+Middle-Aged+to+Older+Americans+by+Obesity+Status.&volume=17&issue=6&spage=684&epage=697&date=2020&doi=10.1080%2F19390211.2019.1645785&pmid=31382793&sid=OVID:medline + +<1086> +Unique Identifier + 31359247 +Title + Asthma Phenotypes as a Guide for Current and Future Biologic Therapies.

Evidence continues to build regarding the existence of different cell types, environmental exposures, pathogens, and other factors that produce a similar set of symptoms known collectively as asthma. This has led to a movement from a "one size fits all" symptom-based methodology to a more patient-centered, individualized approach to asthma treatment targeting the underlying disease process. A significant contributor to this shift to more personalized asthma therapy has been the increasing availability of numerous biologic therapies in recent years, providing the opportunity for more targeted treatments. When targeted biologics began to be developed for treatment of asthma, the hope was that distinct biomarkers would become available, allowing the clinician to determine which biologic therapy was best suited for which patients. Presence of certain biomarkers, like eosinophilia or antigen-specific IgE, is important features of specific asthma phenotypes. Currently available biomarkers can help with decision making about biologics, but are generally too broad and non-specific to clearly identify an asthma phenotype or the single biologic best suited to an asthmatic. Identification of further biomarkers is the subject of intense research. Yet, identifying a patient's asthma phenotype can help in predicting disease course, response to treatment, and biologic therapies to consider. In this review, major asthma phenotypes are reviewed, and the evidence for the utility of various biologics, both those currently on the market and those in the development process, in each of these phenotypes is explored. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biological Products). 0 (Biomarkers). 37341-29-0 (Immunoglobulin E). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Bariatric surgery (BS) has been proposed to lead to activation of brown adipose tissue, an effect that may be related to beneficial effects of BS on systemic metabolism. Here, we evaluated circulating levels of miR-92a and miR-99b, two miRNAs proposed as biomarkers of brown fat activity, in a cohort of patients with severe obesity before and after BS, and studied their potential relationship with BS-associated improvements in metabolic parameters. + + METHODS: Circulating levels of miR-92a and miR-99b were quantified in a cohort of 26 patients (age, 48 +/- 10 years; BMI, 45 +/- 7 kg/m2) before and 6 months after BS. Clinical parameters were determined at different time points and correlations among them were studied. + + RESULTS: Basal levels of miR-92a were significantly increased in patients with obesity relative to lean controls. Serum miR-92a levels were strongly reduced at 6 months after BS, reaching levels similar to those in controls. Serum miR-99b levels were unchanged in relation to both the obese condition and BS. Elevated levels of miR-92a were directly correlated with worsened glucose homeostasis parameters and poor BS outcome. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our findings show that miR-92a is elevated in conditions of obesity, and its reduction after BS correlates with metabolic improvement. Further studies would be necessary to establish miR-92a as serum biomarker and potential predictor of the BS success in improving the metabolic status of patients with obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (MIRN92 microRNA, human). 0 (MicroRNAs). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Anthropometric and body composition parameters and resting energy expenditure were measured. Fasting circulating leptin, T3, SHBG and UCP2 levels were measured. Subjects were divided into three groups: Group (BMI>30 and low resting energy expenditure, 16 subjects), group II (BMI>30 and normal resting energy expenditure, 17 subjects), and group (control group, 16 non-obese subjects). + + RESULT: It was found that obese subjects who had higher SHBG and leptin levels were at risk for high levels of UCP2. A significant association was found between T3 and REE. Obese subjects with higher concentrations of UCP2 and SHBG had decreased resting energy expenditure. A significant association was observed between SHBG and leptin in group (r=0.90, p<0.0001) and group (r=0.83, p<0.0001). Moreover, a significant association was found between T3 and SHBG in group (r=-0.69, P=0.003). + + CONCLUSION: Changes of the UCP2, leptin, and thyroid hormone (T3) levels may be related to SHBG levels. Thus, lower leptin and T3 levels may decrease SHBG in obese women. Therefore, lower SHBG, leptin, T3 and UCP2 levels may decrease the REE level in obese women.

Our objective was to analyze clinical efficacy and safety differences in routine clinical practice. + + METHODS: A 24-week prospective observational study to compare the effect of liraglutide versus lixisenatide in obese T2DM patients in routine clinical practice. The main objective was to analyze between-group glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) differences at the end of the study. Secondary objectives included differences in body weight, other CVRF, changes in medication, side effects, satisfaction and safety. + + RESULTS: A total of 100 patients (50 liraglutide, 50 lixisenatide) were included. Both groups experienced a decrease in HbA1c values (liraglutide, -1.4%, CI 95% -2, -0.8, P<0.001 vs. lixisenatide, -0.8%, 95% CI -1.2, -0.5, P<0.001). No differences were found in final HbA1c values between both groups (liraglutide 7.3+/-0.9% vs. lixisenatide 7.2+/-1.5%, P=0.7). We did not detect between groups differences in anthropometric variables or CVRF at the study end. A lower proportion of patients received treatment with a maximum dose of liraglutide compared with lixisenatide (27% vs. 95%, P<0.001). In contrast, a greater percentage of patients in the lixisenatide group than in liraglutide group (29% vs. 9%, P=0.026) intensified treatment by the addition of sodium-glucose transporter type 2 inhibitors. Adverse events were less frequently reported in liraglutide treated patients compared with lixisentatide (80% vs. 96%, P=0.014). No serious adverse events were detected. + + CONCLUSIONS: These results confirm the efficacy and safety of liraglutide and lixisenatide in routine clinical practice. Moreover, a different therapeutic effect between liraglutide and lixisenatide was detected. Copyright © 2019 Primary Care Diabetes Europe. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

This hormone circulates to its target tissues (e. g., brain, adipose tissue), which requires two components, one of the preferred FGF receptor isoforms (FGFR1c and FGFR3c) and the co-factor beta-Klotho (KLB) to trigger downstream signaling pathways. Although targeting FGF21 signaling in humans by analogues and receptor agonists results in beneficial effects, e. g., improvements in plasma lipids and decreased body weight, it failed to recapitulate the improvements in glucose handling shown for many mouse models. FGF21's role and metabolic effects in mice and its therapeutic potential have extensively been reviewed elsewhere. In this review we focus on circulating FGF21 levels in humans and their associations with disease and clinical parameters, focusing primarily on obesity and obesity-associated diseases such as type-2 diabetes. We provide a comprehensive overview on human circulating FGF21 levels under normal physiology and metabolic disease. We discuss the emerging field of inactivating FGF21 in human blood by fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and its potential clinical implications. Copyright Thieme.

Commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were used to measure oxidized HDL (OxHDL) and serum amyloid A (SAA) concentrations. Lipoprotein subfractions were separated using nondenaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. + + RESULTS: An independent association was shown between increased OxHDL/HDL-cholesterol ratio and the occurrence of metabolically unhealthy phenotype in the overweight and obese groups. The OxHDL/HDL-cholesterol ratio showed excellent and acceptable diagnostic accuracy in determination of metabolic health phenotypes (overweight group, AUC = 0.881; obese group, AUC = 0.765). Accumulation of smaller HDL particles in metabolically unhealthy subjects was verified by lipoprotein subfraction analysis. SAA concentrations did not differ significantly between phenotypes. + + CONCLUSIONS: Increased OxHDL/HDL-cholesterol ratio may be a potential indicator of disturbed metabolic health in overweight and obese individuals.

Identification of biomarkers specific to these risk factors may help understanding the underlying pathophysiological pathways, and developing individual treatment. + + METHODS: The FIBRO-TARGETS (targeting cardiac fibrosis for heart failure treatment) consortium has merged data from 12 patient cohorts in 1 common database of > 12,000 patients. Three mutually exclusive main phenotypic groups were identified ("cases"): (1) "hypertensive"; (2) "obese"; and (3) "diabetic"; age-sex matched in a 1:2 proportion with "healthy controls" without any of these phenotypes. Proteomic associations were studied using a biostatistical method based on LASSO and confronted with machine-learning and complex network approaches. + + RESULTS: The case:control distribution by each cardiovascular phenotype was hypertension (50:100), obesity (50:98), and diabetes (36:72). Of the 86 studied proteins, 4 were found to be independently associated with hypertension: GDF-15, LEP, SORT-1 and FABP-2; 3 with obesity: CEACAM-8, LEP and PRELP; and 4 with diabetes: GDF-15, REN, CXCL-1 and SCF. GDF-15 (hypertension + diabetes) and LEP (hypertension + obesity) are shared by 2 different phenotypes. A machine-learning approach confirmed GDF-15, LEP and SORT-1 as discriminant biomarkers for the hypertension group, and LEP plus PRELP for the obesity group. Complex network analyses provided insight on the mechanisms underlying these disease phenotypes where fibrosis may play a central role. + + CONCLUSION: Patients with "mutually exclusive" phenotypes display distinct bioprofiles that might underpin different biological pathways, potentially leading to fibrosis. Plasma protein biomarkers and their association with mutually exclusive cardiovascular phenotypes: the FIBRO-TARGETS case-control analyses. Patients with "mutually exclusive" phenotypes (blue: obesity, hypertension and diabetes) display distinct protein bioprofiles (green: decreased expression; red: increased expression) that might underpin different biological pathways (orange arrow), potentially leading to fibrosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Proteins). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1007%2fs00392-019-01480-4 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ferreira&issn=1861-0684&title=Clinical+Research+in+Cardiology&atitle=Plasma+protein+biomarkers+and+their+association+with+mutually+exclusive+cardiovascular+phenotypes%3A+the+FIBRO-TARGETS+case-control+analyses.&volume=109&issue=1&spage=22&epage=33&date=2020&doi=10.1007%2Fs00392-019-01480-4&pmid=31062082&sid=OVID:medline + +<1093> +Unique Identifier + 31036413 +Title + Comparative and functional analysis of plasma membrane-derived extracellular vesicles from obese vs. nonobese women. +Source + Clinical Nutrition. 39(4):1067-1076, 2020 04. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Santamaria-Martos F; Benitez ID; Latorre J; Lluch A; Moreno-Navarrete JM; Sabater M; Ricart W; Sanchez de la Torre M; Mora S; Fernandez-Real JM; Ortega FJ +Authors Full Name + Santamaria-Martos, Fernando; Benitez, Ivan D; Latorre, Jessica; Lluch, Aina; Moreno-Navarrete, Jose M; Sabater, Monica; Ricart, Wifredo; Sanchez de la Torre, Manuel; Mora, Silvia; Fernandez-Real, Jose M; Ortega, Francisco J. +Institution + Santamaria-Martos, Fernando.

This study investigated plasma EVs from obese vs. nonobese women and their functional impact in adipocytes. + + METHODS: Plasma EVs were isolated by differential centrifugation. Concentration and size were examined by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NanoSight). RNA was purified from plasma and plasma EVs of 45 women (47 +/- 12 years, 58% of obesity) and profiles of mature miRNAs were assessed. Functional analyses were performed in human adipocytes. + + FINDINGS: Smaller plasma EVs were found in obese when compared to nonobese women. Positive associations were identified between circulating EVs numbers and parameters of impaired glucose tolerance. Almost 40% of plasma cell-free miRNAs were also found in isolated plasma EVs, defined as Ct values < 37 in >=75% of samples. BMI together with parameters of insulin resistance were major contributors to EVs-contained miRNA patterns. Treatments of cultured human adipocytes with EVs from obese women led to a significant reduction of genes involved in lipid biosynthesis, while increasing the expression of IRS1 (12.3%, p = 0.002). + + INTERPRETATION: Size, concentration and the miRNA cargo of plasma EVs are associated with obesity and parameters of insulin resistance. Plasma EVs may mediate intercellular communication relevant to metabolism in adipocytes. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd and European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism.

The aim of this study was to evaluate serum Lp-PLA2 level in psoriatic patients and elucidate possible associations with disease activity, metabolic or inflammatory parameters and systemic treatment. Methods: We enrolled 33 patients with active plaque-type psoriasis and 11 healthy controls. Blood samples were collected before and after 3 months of systemic treatment with acitretin or methotrexate. Serum Lp-PLA2 level were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Serum Lp-PLA2 level in patients with psoriasis did not statistically differ comparing to the control group (p = .2). However, in patients with severe psoriasis Lp-PLA2 was significantly higher than in the controls before and after treatment (p = .03, p = .01, respectively). The lipase did not correlate with BMI (p = .22); however, a statistical significance was noted between psoriatics with obesity compared to the controls (p = .03). No significant effect of systemic treatment combined (p = .5) nor separately with acitretin (p = .5) or methotrexate (p = .1) on the Lp-PLA2 level was found, despite clinical improvement. Conclusion: Lp-PLA2 assay might be helpful in assessment of the risk of cardiometabolic comorbidities development especially in patients with severe psoriasis and obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Keratolytic Agents).

Oxidative stress is likely to contribute to increased insulin and androgen production in the ovaries, as well as probably impairing follicle production. Aims: This study aims to determine the complementary effects of omega-3 and vitamin E supplements on certain oxidative stress indices in obese and overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Materials and Methods: This double-blind, randomized clinical trial was performed on polycystic ovary syndrome subjects with BMI > 25. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups to receive either 2 g of omega-3 plus 400 IU of vitamin E, or a placebo, for 8 weeks. At the beginning and the end of the study, total antioxidant capacity, glutathione levels, catalase activity, malondialdehyde concentrations, as well as dietary intake and physical activity were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Results: 32 patients in the intervention group and 30 patients in the placebo group completed the study. Co-supplementation of omega-3 and vitamin E significantly increased total antioxidant capacity (mg/dl) (1.15 +/- 0.93 vs -0.6 +/- 0.72; P < 0.001), catalase activity (IU/L) (1.19 +/- 1.06 vs 0.12 +/- 0.36; P < 0.001) and glutathione levels (mumol/L) (1.5 +/- 1.06 vs 0.23 +/- 1.43; P = 0.028). Additionally, a significant reduction of malondialdehyde levels (nmol/L) (-0.34 +/- 0.32 vs 0.57 +/- 2.20; P = 0.008) was observed, in comparison with placebo. Conclusion: Co-supplementation with omega-3 and vitamin E had beneficial effect on total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde concentrations, glutathione levels and catalase activity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). 1406-18-4 (Vitamin E). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim of the study was to reveal the relationship between normal weight obesity and mild cognitive impairment in elderly individuals. + + METHODS: This study consisted of 360 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment and 360 cognitively normal controls. Normal weight obesity was defined as having metabolic syndrome but a normal weight. Metabolic health meant having no metabolic syndrome. Reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was adopted to measure the messenger RNA expression of four cognitive-related genes (amyloid precursor protein, cyclic adenosine monophosphate-responsive element-binding protein 1, sortilin-related receptor 1, and synapsin I) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. + + RESULTS: Normal weight obesity was related to a higher risk of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (odds ratio = 3.14, 95% confidence interval: 2.13-4.60). In the patients, the expression of each gene in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells was linearly related to Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores (P < 0.05). The expression of these genes in the patients with metabolic health deviated from the normal levels found in the controls (P < 0.05), and the deviations were more significant in the patients with normal weight obesity (P < 0.05). + + CONCLUSION: Normal weight obesity may be a potential risk factor for amnestic mild cognitive impairment in elderly. This relationship was reflected in the abnormal expression of several cognitive-related genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

We used the triglyceride glucose product (TyG index) as a surrogate measure for insulin resistance. We fitted Cox models, adjusted for relevant confounders, to investigate associations of TyG index with 10 common obesity-related cancers, and quantified the proportion of the effect of BMI mediated through TyG index on the log-transformed hazard ratio (HR) scale. + + RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 17.2 years, 16 052 individuals developed obesity-related cancers. TyG index was associated with the risk of cancers of the kidney HR per one standard deviation increase 1.13, 95% confidence interval: 1.07 to 1.20], liver (1.13, 1.04 to 1.23), pancreas (1.12, 1.06 to 1.19), colon (1.07, 1.03 to 1.10) and rectum (1.09, 1.04 to 1.14). Substantial proportions of the effect of BMI were mediated by TyG index for cancers of the pancreas (42%), rectum (34%) and colon (20%); smaller proportions for kidney (15%) and liver (11%). Little or no mediation was observed for breast (postmenopausal), endometrial and ovarian cancer. Results were similar for males and females, except for pancreatic cancer where the proportions mediated were 20% and 91%, respectively. + + CONCLUSIONS: The TyG index was associated with increased risk of cancers of the digestive system and substantially mediated the effect of BMI, suggesting that insulin resistance plays a promoting role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal cancers.

The liner is licensed for a maximum implant duration of 12 months. It might be hypothesized that extension of the dwelling time results in added value. The goals of our study were to determine weight change, change in glycemic control, and safety in patients with an intended 24 months of DJBL dwelling time. + + METHODS: Patients were initially selected for a 12-month implantation period. When no physical complaints or adverse events (AEs) occurred, motivated patients who responded well were selected for extension of dwelling time to 24 months. Patients underwent a control endoscopy 12 months after implantation and visited the out-patient clinic every 3 months up to explantation. Patients agreed to remove the DJBL when complaints or AEs occurred that could not be treated conservatively. + + RESULTS: Implantation was extended in 44 patients, and 24 (55%) patients completed the full 24 months. Twenty patients required early removal due to AEs. During dwelling time, body weight decreased significantly (15.9 kg; TBWL 14.6%). HbA1c decreased non-significantly (4.9 mmol/mol). The number of insulin users and daily dose of insulin both decreased significantly. At 24 months after removal, glycemic control had worsened, while body weight was still significantly lower compared to baseline. In total, 68% of the patients experienced at least one AE. Two patients developed a hepatic abscess. + + CONCLUSIONS: DJBL treatment results in significant weight loss and improves glycemic control during implantation. The largest beneficial effects occur during the first 9-12 months after implantation. Extension of dwelling time to 24 months results only in stabilization of body weight and glycemic control. After explantation, weight improvements are maintained, but glycemic control worsens.

AA (20 mg/kg BW) was administered orally to HFD-fed rats for 42 days. Changes in body composition, glucose, insulin resistance (IR) and lipid profiles of tissues, plasma and the pattern of gene expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) and its target genes fatty-acid synthase (FAS), adipocyte protein-2 (aP2) and uncoupling protein-2 (UCP-2) and pro-inflammatory factor tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha were observed in experimental rats. Oral administration of AA exerts therapeutic effects similar to orlistat in attenuating body weight gain, glucose, IR, plasma and tissue lipids and mRNA levels of PPAR-gamma, FAS, aP2 and inflammatory factor TNF-alpha and increasing UCP-2 expression in HFD-fed rats. Hence, these findings concluded that AA attenuate HFD-induced obesity by modulating PPAR-gamma and its target genes and regulate lipid metabolism, suggesting their possible antiobesity effects. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Pentacyclic Triterpenes). 9PA5A687X5 (asiatic acid). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1080%2f13813455.2018.1555668 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Uddandrao&issn=1381-3455&title=Archives+of+Physiology+%26+Biochemistry&atitle=Antiobesity+efficacy+of+asiatic+acid%3A+down-regulation+of+adipogenic+and+inflammatory+processes+in+high+fat+diet+induced+obese+rats.&volume=126&issue=5&spage=453&epage=462&date=2020&doi=10.1080%2F13813455.2018.1555668&pmid=30739501&sid=OVID:medline + +<1100> +Unique Identifier + 30632794 +Title + Higher levels of IL-18 in patients with prediabetes compared to obese normoglycaemic controls. +Source + Archives of Physiology & Biochemistry. 126(5):449-452, 2020 Dec. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Gateva A; Kamenov Z; Karamfilova V; Assyov Y; Velikova T; El-Darawish Y; Okamura H +Authors Full Name + Gateva, Antoaneta; Kamenov, Zdravko; Karamfilova, Vera; Assyov, Yavor; Velikova, Tsvetelina; El-Darawish, Yosif; Okamura, Haruki. +Institution + Gateva, Antoaneta.

The aim of this study was to compare IL-18 levels between patients with prediabetes and obese normoglycaemic controls. Patients and methods: In this study, we included 131 patients with mean age 54.9 +/- 9.1 years, divided into two groups - group 1 with obesity without glycaemic disturbances (n = 66) and group 2 with prediabetes (n = 65). IL-18 was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Results: Patients with prediabetes had significantly higher levels of IL-18 compared to obese controls (304.0 +/- 220.4 vs. 233.6 +/- 103.6 pg/l, p=.029). When patients with prediabetes were divided into IFG only, IGT only and IFG + IGT the highest levels of IL-18 were found in IGT only patients.

Yet, most women identified as obese [by body mass index (BMI) >= 30 kg/m2] do not develop HDP, indicating limited predictability of BMI alone. In nonpregnant populations, increased visceral fat mass (VFM) is an obesity-associated phenotype increasing the risk of developing hypertension. We sought to assess whether, in pregnancy, obese women with PE would have higher circulating levels of adipokines preferential to VFM compared to obese women without PE. Study Design: We performed a case-control study of women with and without PE, including obese (n = 65; BMI >= 30 kg/m2) and normal weight (n = 52; BMI 18.4-24.9 kg/m2) women. Plasma concentrations of adipokines preferential to VFM (visfatin, resistin), adipokines reflecting overall adiposity (leptin, adiponectin), and inflammatory cytokines were compared. Results: We found that among obese women, cases had significantly higher levels of VFM-associated adipokines and cytokines compared to controls [visfatin (p < .01, t = -3.8), resistin (p = .002, t = 1.12), IFN gamma (p = .04, t = -2.0), IL-6 (p < .01, t = -2.65), IL1-beta (p < .01, t = -4.1), IL-2 (p < .01, t = -3.9)]. Interestingly, however, obese and normal weight cases had similar VFM-adipokine and cytokine levels [visfatin (p = .34, t = -0.35), resistin (p = .55, t = -0.25)], and inflammatory marker concentrations [IFN gamma (p = .86, t = -0.76), IL-6 (p = .91, t = -0.53), IL-1beta (p = .67, t = 1.18), and IL-2 (p = .45, t = -1.16)]. These data possibly suggest an association between VFM and PE that is present independent of BMI. Conclusion: In summary, we demonstrated that, in normal-weight and obese women, PE was associated with higher concentrations of VFM-preferential adipokines compared to normal-weight and obese controls without PE. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1080%2f14767058.2018.1562542 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Chandrasekaran&issn=1476-4954&title=Journal+of+Maternal-Fetal+%26+Neonatal+Medicine&atitle=Adipokine+profiles+in+preeclampsia.&volume=33&issue=16&spage=2812&epage=2817&date=2020&doi=10.1080%2F14767058.2018.1562542&pmid=30572749&sid=OVID:medline + +<1102> +Unique Identifier + 30450993 +Title + Insulin resistance and oxidative marker in women with PCOS. +Source + Archives of Physiology & Biochemistry. 126(2):183-186, 2020 May. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Bannigida DM; Nayak BS; Vijayaraghavan R +Authors Full Name + Bannigida, Doddappa M; Nayak, B Shivananda; Vijayaraghavan, R. +Institution + Bannigida, Doddappa M.

Evidences have shown that Oxidative Stress and decreased antioxidant status are often linked with PCOS. Insulin Resistance in PCOS patients ranges from 50% to 70% and may encourage OS by production of reactive oxygen species. Objective: Our study determines serum MDA levels along with plasma glucose, serum insulin, and insulin resistance in obese and nonobese PCOS subjects. Materials and methods: A case control study was conducted on diagnosed 100 PCOS patients and 100 controls. Fasting plasma glucose was measured by enzymatic method. Insulin was estimated by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay using Abott Architect i 2000 SR analyser. Insulin resistance was calculated by HOMA-IR. Malonaldehyde is determined as Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. Results: CRP and serum MDA levels were increased in women with PCOS irrespective of obesity compared to their respective controls with a p value of < .001. However, though fasting glucose, serum insulin, and IR were increased in both obese and nonobese women with PCOS compared to their BMI adjusted controls with p value of < .001, the values were within reference range in nonobese women. Conclusion: Our study suggests that women with PCOS have oxidative stress and elevated CRP irrespective of obesity. However, hyperinsulinemia and Insulin resistance are seen only in obese women with PCOS, indicating that these women are at high risk for developing low grade inflammation and cardiovascular diseases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). 4Y8F71G49Q (Malondialdehyde). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1080%2f13813455.2018.1499120 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Bannigida&issn=1381-3455&title=Archives+of+Physiology+%26+Biochemistry&atitle=Insulin+resistance+and+oxidative+marker+in+women+with+PCOS.&volume=126&issue=2&spage=183&epage=186&date=2020&doi=10.1080%2F13813455.2018.1499120&pmid=30450993&sid=OVID:medline + +<1103> +Unique Identifier + 30318936 +Title + Serum visfatin and adiponectin - markers in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. +Source + Archives of Physiology & Biochemistry. 126(4):283-286, 2020 Oct. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Bannigida DM; Nayak SB; R V +Authors Full Name + Bannigida, Doddappa Mallappa; Nayak, Shivananda B; R, Vijayaragavan. +Institution + Bannigida, Doddappa Mallappa.

Adipose tissue releases various adipokines, including visfatin and adiponectin, which have influence on insulin resistance (IR). Objective: To determine serum insulin levels, IR, serum visfatin and adiponectin levels in PCOS subjects. Materials and methods: Case-control study on 100 diagnosed PCOS patients (50 obese and 50 non-obese) and 100 control subjects (50 obese and 50 non obese). Investigations included serum measurement of insulin, visfatin and adiponectin using an enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay and Sinbe magnum technique. Results: There were higher levels of serum fasting glucose levels, serum insulin levels, IR and visfatin levels and lower levels of adiponectin in women with PCOS irrespective of body mass index, compared to their respective controls with a p value of < 0.001. Conclusion: The study suggests that serum visfatin levels positively correlate and serum adiponectin levels negatively correlate to insulin and IR in women with PCOS irrespective of obesity. Hence they can serve as markers in women with PCOS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose).

Subjective symptoms (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Quality of Life subscale (KOOS QOL), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain and Physical Function scores, and the Short Form-12 (SF-12) Physical Component Score [PCS]) and objective measures of cartilage degradation and bone remodeling (urinary CTXII and CTXIalpha) were compared among groups at baseline and 2-year follow-up. + + RESULTS: Of the 600 patients, 282 (47%) were NON, 285 (47.5%) OBESE, and 33 (5.5%) O + D. The O + D group had significantly worse pain and function both at baseline and 2-year follow-up (P < 0.001 for all comparisons) as evidenced by self-reported measures on KOOS QOL, WOMAC Pain, WOMAC Physical Function, and SF-12 PCS. The O + D group also demonstrated significant increases in CTXII (P = 0.01) and CTXIalpha (P = 0.005), whereas the NON and OBESE groups did not. + + CONCLUSIONS: The combination of inferior knee pain, physical function, and significantly greater increases in biomarkers of cartilage degradation and bony remodelling suggest a more rapid progression for obese OA patients with comorbid depression. The link between systemic disease, inflammatory burden, and progressive cartilage degradation is in line with increasing concerns about a degenerative synovial environment in early osteoarthritic knees that progress to treatment failure with biologic restoration procedures. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type II collagen, human). 0 (Collagen Type I). 0 (Collagen Type II). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (Peptides). 0 (collagen type I trimeric cross-linked peptide). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Obesity is a risk factor for many diseases which can be life threatening or making the person unable to perform daily routine work. In the current study, clinical trials were designed to evaluate the effects of medical intervention by comparing the effects of placebo control drug "Plasicure" with the herbal medicinal formulation "Obesecure". The test drug formulation was designed on the basis of the screening study for Leptogenic drugs. To evaluate the safety of the test drug, the toxicity index and the safety profile of test formulation was assessed on animal models. The drug was found safe for further clinical study. Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials were conducted. The statistical analysis was carried out by the application of Two-Way Repeated Analysis of Variance test. The clinical findings of randomized controlled trial revealed that the test drug was Leptogenic and effective in weight reduction as compared to control drug Plasicure therapy as the p-value deduced was 0.001 in leptin level and 0.000 in case of BMI after the conduction of Two-Way Repeated Analysis of Variance test. Hence it is concluded that obscure therapy is more significant than control drug Plasicure therapy in the management and treatment of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Drugs, Chinese Herbal). 0 (LEP protein, human). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Therefore, it is crucial to have a biomarker to predict visceral obesity to prevent further complications. SIRT1, a NAD-dependent deacetylase gene, is responsible for upregulating lipolysis genes and is downregulated after acute high-fat meal consumption. However, the chronic exposure effect remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between SIRT1 mRNA expression, fat intake, and visceral obesity in Indonesian population. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional study involved 38 healthy subjects (20-30 y old, not suffering any chronic diseases or fever, not taking any medication or treatment, not smoking, not drinking alcohol frequently, not being pregnant, and not breastfeeding). Dietary patterns from 24-h food recall, physical activities fom international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), medical data from annual medical check-up, and body compositions were measured using InBody720 and compared with SIRT1 expression from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) samples. + + RESULTS: Subjects with excessive percentage of body fat (PBF) had a significantly higher body mass index (BMI) (normal: 20.28+/-2.09, excessive: 23.86+/-3.71, p=0.023) and VFA (normal: 48.00+/-9.38, excessive: 79.17+/-16.14, p=5x1025). The SIRT1 mRNA expression was significantly higher in subjects with excessive PBF (normal: 1+/-0.43, excessive: 3.68+/-2.62, p=0.018) and positively correlated with PBF (rho=0.376, p=0.045). + + CONCLUSION: SIRT1 acted as a potential marker for obesity in the evaluated population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

One important hallmark of obesity is excessive accumulation of lipids in the adipocyte, especially triglyceride (TG). Currently, the adipocyte has been considered not only as a huge repository of excess energy in the form of fat but also as an important source of multiple hormones and cytokines called adipokines. In obesity, the adipocyte is dysfunctional with excessive production and secretion of pro-inflammatory adipokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and leptin. On the other hand, accumulating evidence has shown that leptin plays a vital role in stimulating angiogenesis, controlling lipid metabolism, and modulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, the various activities of leptin are related to the wide distribution of leptin receptors. Notably, it has been reported that enhanced leptin levels and dysfunction of the leptin signaling pathway can influence diverse skin diseases. Recently, several studies revealed the roles of leptin in wound healing, the hair cycle, and the pathogenic development of skin diseases, such as psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, and dermatological cancers. However, the exact mechanisms of leptin in modulating the dermatological diseases are still under investigation. Therefore, in the present review, we summarized the regulatory roles of leptin in the pathological progression of diverse diseases of skin and skin appendages. Furthermore, we also provided evidence to elucidate the complicated relationship between leptin and different dermatological diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and some skin tumors.

It is the most important complication of obesity in metabolic syndrome. Studies investigating the relationship between acanthosis nigricans and metabolic syndrome in obese children are insufficient. In our study, the relationship of acanthosis nigricans and metabolic syndrome was evaluated in children. + + METHODS: Obese children aged between 6 and 18 years old, who were examined in the pediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic, were included. The patients' anthropometric measurements and laboratory results were recorded. Modified IDF (International Diabetes Federation) criteria for children were used in metabolic syndrome classification. + + RESULTS: A hundred and forty-eight obese children were evaluated. The mean age of the cases was 11.91 +/- 2.94 years old. Of the cases, 56.1% were female (n=83) 43.9% (n=65) were male. In 39.9% (n=59) of cases, acanthosis nigricans was determined. Acanthosis nigricans was mostly located in the axillary area (27.1%) and the neck (16.9%). In 55.9% of the cases, it was located in more than one area. The relation of regionally detected acanthosis nigricans and metabolic syndrome was not significant (p=0.291). Metabolic syndrome was detected in 14% of 136 patients according to IDF criteria. Acanthosis nigricans and metabolic syndrome combination was present in 27.7%; however, 6.7% of the metabolic syndrome patients did not have acanthosis nigricans. There was a strong relation between metabolic syndrome and the presence of acanthosis nigricans (p=0.003). + + CONCLUSIONS: In our study, a correlation between acanthosis nigricans and metabolic syndrome was detected. Acanthosis nigricans is a skin sign that can be easily detected by clinician. It is an important and easy-to-detect dermatosis that helps determine patients at risk of metabolic syndrome in obese children.

We aimed to investigate whether serum copeptin can be used to differentiate masked hypertension (MHT) and MS, and the role of sodium intake, natriuretic peptide response and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in MHT and MS in obese youth. + + METHODS: Obese children aged 10-18 years with normal office blood pressure measurements were included. Patients with MHT and normotension and those with MS and non-MS were evaluated separately. Biochemical parameters, copeptin, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), aldosterone, renin, urine sodium, and protein were evaluated. Echocardiography, fundoscopic examination, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were performed. + + RESULTS: There were 80 (M/F=39/41) obese patients with a mean age of 13.78 +/- 1.93 years. The cases with MHT, MS, and concomitant MHT and MS were 53,24, and 13%, respectively. Copeptin levels were similar among patients with and without MHT or MS (p>0.05). However, multivariate analysis revealed that copeptin significantly increased the probability of MHT (OR 1.01, 95% CI=1.001-1.018, p=0.033). Copeptin was positively correlated with daytime systolic and diastolic load, aldosterone, BNP, and urine microalbumin/creatinine levels (p<0.05). Linear regression analyses revealed that copeptin was significantly correlated with BNP regardless of having MHT or MS in obese youth. In the MHT group, 24-h sodium excretion was not significantly correlated with BNP. + + CONCLUSION: Copeptin may be a beneficial biomarker to discriminate MHT, but not MS in obese children and adolescents. An insufficient BNP response to sodium intake might be one of the underlying causes of MHT in obese cases.

Each training groups engaged in three sessions per week during three months. Anthropometric parameters, aerobic capacity, homeostasis model assessment index for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) as well as plasma TSH and T4 levels were assessed in all subjects before- and after-training. + + RESULTS: Following both training programs, body mass, body mass index Z-score, waist circumference and body fat decreased, while aerobic capacity increased. However, TSH and T4 concentrations decreased only after the HIIT (-30.47%, p<0.05, ES=1.42 and -12.86%, p<0.05, ES=1.18; respectively). The HOMA-IR decreased in both training groups (-26.25%, p<0.05, ES=1.87 for MIIT and -21.72%, p<0.05, ES=2.14 for HIIT). + + CONCLUSION: Twelve weeks of HIIT was effective in reducing circulating TSH and T4 levels, unlike MIIT, in overweight/obese adolescent girls. These findings indicated that the stimulation of pituitary-thyroid function is more sensitive to training intensity than training duration. Further studies are needed to confirm this conclusion.

A high prevalence of dyslipidemia was observed for parents (82.4%) and children (83.5%), however, with no association between both. A weak association was found between parents and children (Cramer's V test = 0.238; p = 0.024) for triglycerides, and no association was found between parents and children concerning physical activity. + + CONCLUSION: The high frequency of overweight and dyslipidemia observed in parents, combined with the association between the fat intake by parents and their children with chronic rheumatic diseases, points to the importance of intervention strategies with the engagement and participation of families.

Delay in diagnosis increases the mortality and morbidity. +Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the body mass index is useful in diagnosis and whether the neutrophil /lymphocyte and platelet/lymphocyte ratios can help in determining the inflammation level of acute appendicitis. +Meterial and Methods: Cases of appendectomy performed between June 2012 and December 2018 in our clinic were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the pathology results of the cases included in the study, 4 groups were formed, i.e.: Group 1 (initial stage), Group 2 (catarrhal stage), Group 3 (phlegmonous-gangrenous stage) and Group 4 (perforation). The study compared age, body mass index, leukocyte values, red cell distribution width (RDW), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet /lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and mean platelet volume (MPV) between groups. + Results: 828 cases were included in the study. When compared between groups, the values of Group 3 and Group 4 were higher than those of Group 1 and Group 2 for PLR and NLR. There was no difference in RDW and MPV values in the blood. When Body Mass Index (BMI) was compared between groups, it was found to be significantly higher with increasing histopathological stage. +Conclusion: In acute appendicitis, the blood leukocyte value, elevated PLR and NLR are helpful in diagnosis. We aimed to emphasize that the diagnosis of acute appendicitis is delayed in patients with a BMI above 30 and/or at age of over 40 years, with the perforation rate being determined more frequently. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.5604%2f01.3001.0014.3579 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ozkan&issn=0032-373X&title=Polski+Przeglad+Chirurgiczny&atitle=The+importance+of+laboratory+tests+and+Body+Mass+Index+in+the+diagnosis+of+acute+appendicitis.&volume=92&issue=6&spage=7&epage=11&date=2020&doi=10.5604%2F01.3001.0014.3579&pmid=33408265&sid=OVID:medline + +<1113> +Unique Identifier + 33381605 +Title + Obesity Potentiates Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Growth and Invasion by AMPK-YAP Pathway. +Source + Journal of Immunological Research. 2020:6765474, 2020. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Liu JH; Wu QF; Fu JK; Che XM; Li HJ +Author NameID + Liu, Jia-Huang; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9475-9899 + Wu, Qi-Fei; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7439-2831 + Fu, Jun-Ke; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9286-1446 + Che, Xiang-Ming; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3730-7802 + Li, Hai-Jun; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6040-6956 +Authors Full Name + Liu, Jia-Huang; Wu, Qi-Fei; Fu, Jun-Ke; Che, Xiang-Ming; Li, Hai-Jun. +Institution + Liu, Jia-Huang.

The objective of the study was to explore the impact of obesity on ESCC growth and progression utilizing in vivo trials and cell experiments in vitro. Diet-induced obese and lean nude mice were inoculated with TE-1 cells, then studied for 4 weeks. Serum glucose, insulin, leptin, and visfatin levels were assayed. Sera of nude mice were obtained and then utilized to culture TE-1. MTT, migration and invasion assays, RT-PCR, and Western blotting were used to analyze endocrine effect of obesity on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and related genes expression of TE-1. Obese nude mice bore larger tumor xenografts than lean animals, and were hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic with an elevated level of leptin and visfatin in sera, and also were accompanied by a fatty liver. As for the subcutaneous tumor xenograft model, tumors were more aggressive in obese nude mice than lean animals. Tumor weight correlated positively with mouse body weight, liver weight of mice, serum glucose, HOMA-IR, leptin, and visfatin. Obesity prompted significant TE-1 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by endocrine mechanisms and impacted target genes. The expression of AMPK and p-AMPK protein decreased significantly (P < 0.05); MMP9, total YAP, p-YAP, and nonphosphorylated YAP protein increased significantly (P < 0.05) in the cells cultured with conditioned media and xenograft tumor from the obese group; the mRNA expression of AMPK decreased significantly (P < 0.05); YAP and MMP9 mRNA expression increased significantly (P < 0.05) in the cells exposed to conditioned media from the obese group. In conclusion, the altered adipokine milieu and metabolites in the context of obesity may promote ESCC growth in vivo; affect proliferation, migration, and invasion of ESCC cells in vitro; and regulate MMP9 and AMPK-YAP signaling pathway through complex effects including the endocrine effect.

Leptin is considered a biomarker associated with obesity and obesity-mediated diseases. Biosensor detection of leptin in the blood may play a critical role as an indicator of dynamic pathological changes. In this paper, we introduce an electrochemical biosensor that adopts o-Phenylenediamine (oPD) on screen-printed gold electrodes (SPGEs) for detecting the leptin from a mouse model of diet-induced obesity (DIO). A linear calibration curve for the leptin concentration was obtained in the ranges from 0.1 to 20 ng/mL with a lower detection limit of 0.033 ng/mL. The leptin concentration was quantified with HRP (horseradish peroxidase)-catalyzed oxidation of oPD by two voltammetry methods: cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV). The proposed sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based electrochemical biosensor for the leptin in mouse blood serum showed high stability, sensitivity, selectivity, and effectivity compared to the commercial Leptin ELISA measurement. Thus, we believe that this leptin biosensor can be a sensitive analytical tool to detect low-levels of biomarkers in clinics and point-of-care testing (POCT). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). 7440-57-5 (Gold). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fbios11010007 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Sung&issn=2079-6374&title=Biosensors&atitle=Sandwich+ELISA-Based+Electrochemical+Biosensor+for+Leptin+in+Control+and+Diet-Induced+Obesity+Mouse+Model.&volume=11&issue=1&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fbios11010007&pmid=33374256&sid=OVID:medline + +<1115> +Unique Identifier + 33371219 +Title + Bioactive Lipids in Health and Disease. +Source + Biomolecules. 10(12), 2020 12 21. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Bari M; Bisogno T; Battista N +Author NameID + Bisogno, Tiziana; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5567-2272 + Battista, Natalia; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1936-6710 +Authors Full Name + Bari, Monica; Bisogno, Tiziana; Battista, Natalia. +Institution + Bari, Monica.

However, obesity is also associated with sternal wound infection (SWI) which is a severe complication of CABG despite advances in surgery and in infection prevention and control. Strategies to reduce the incidence of SWI are still being investigated, and we therefore conducted a retrospective study to revisit factors other than obesity associated with SWI after CABG. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data were extracted from the medical records of 182 patients who underwent elective on-pump CABG using one or both pedicled internal mammary artery grafts in Reims University Hospital between May 2015 and May 2016. All preoperative or perioperative variables with a p value<0.10 in univariate analysis were entered into a stepwise logistic regression model. + + RESULTS: Among the 182 patients (145 male (79.6%), median age 68.0 [45.0-87.0] years), 138 (75.8%) underwent CABG using bilateral internal mammary artery grafts. Median BMI was 27.7 [18.7-50.5] kg/m2, and there were 51 (28.0%) and 79 (43.4%) patients with obesity and overweight, respectively. Twenty-three out of the 182 patients (12.6%) developed SWI. In-hospital mortality was not statistically different between patients with and without SWI but the median length of stay was (6.0 [2.0-38.0] versus 5.0[3.0-21.0] days in the intensive care unit, p=0.03, and 26.0 [9.0-134.0] versus 9.0 [7.0-51.0] days in hospital, p<0.0001). Obesity and preoperative anaemia were independently associated with SWI, as was the number of red blood cell (RBC) units transfused (OR 14.61 [2.64-80.75], OR 4.64 [1.61-13.34] and OR 1.27 [1.02-1.58], respectively). + + CONCLUSION: The independent association of SWI with the number of RBC units transfused and the existence of preoperative anaemia and obesity suggests a mechanism of thoracic wall ischemia in SWI after CABG, thus leaving insufficient perfusion of the thoracic wall in patients with obesity. Medical strategies are warranted to try to prevent this costly complication.

Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the association of HTGW and LAP with the incidence of T2DM, and the restricted cubic spline model was used to evaluate the dose-response association. + + RESULTS: Overall, 867 new T2DM cases were diagnosed after 7.77 years of follow-up. Participants with HTGW had a higher hazard ratio for T2DM (hazard ratio (HR): 6.249, 95% confidence interval (CI): 5.199-7.511) after adjustment for potential confounders. The risk of incident T2DM was increased with quartiles 3 and 4 versus quartile 1 of LAP, and the adjusted HRs (95% CIs) were 2.903 (2.226-3.784) and 6.298 (4.911-8.077), respectively. There were additive interactions of HTGW (synergy index (SI): 1.678, 95% CI: 1.358-2.072) and high LAP (SI: 1.701, 95% CI: 1.406-2.059) with increased fasting plasma glucose (FPG) on the risk of T2DM. Additionally, a nonlinear (P nonlinear < 0.001) dose-response association was found between LAP and T2DM. + + CONCLUSION: The subjects with HTGW and high LAP were at high risk of developing T2DM, and the association between LAP and the risk of T2DM may be nonlinear. Our study further demonstrates additive interactions of HTGW and high LAP with increased FPG on the risk of T2DM.

The present study investigated the thermogenic and lipolytic antiobesity effects of 5-uRCK and ellagic acid in HFD-induced obese C57BL/6 mice and explored its mechanism of action. Mice fed an HFD received 5-uRCK or ellagic acid as a post-treatment or pretreatment. Both post-treated and pretreated mice showed significant reductions in body weight and adipose tissue mass compared to the HFD-fed mice. The protein levels of lipolysis-associated proteins, such as adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), phosphorylated hormone-sensitive lipase (p-HSL), and perilipin1 (PLIN1), were significantly increased in both the 5-uRCK- and ellagic acid-treated mouse epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT). Additionally, thermogenesis-associated proteins, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha), carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 (CPT1), uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC1alpha), in inguinal white adipose tissue (ingWAT) were clearly increased in both the 5-uRCK- and ellagic acid-treated mice compared to HFD-fed mice. These results suggest that 5-uRCK and ellagic acid are effective for suppressing body weight gain and enhancing the lipid profile. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (PPAR alpha). 0 (Plant Extracts). 0 (Ucp1 protein, mouse). 0 (Uncoupling Protein 1). 19YRN3ZS9P (Ellagic Acid). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fmolecules25245954 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Kim&issn=1420-3049&title=Molecules&atitle=Unripe+Rubus+coreanus+Miquel+Extract+Containing+Ellagic+Acid+Promotes+Lipolysis+and+Thermogenesis+In+Vitro+and+In+Vivo.&volume=25&issue=24&spage=5954&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fmolecules25245954&pmid=33339214&sid=OVID:medline + +<1119> +Unique Identifier + 33335235 +Title + The impact of low advanced glycation end products diet on obesity and related hormones: a systematic review and meta-analysis. +Source + Scientific Reports. 10(1):22194, 2020 12 17. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Sohouli MH; Sharifi-Zahabi E; Lari A; Fatahi S; Shidfar F +Authors Full Name + Sohouli, Mohammad Hassan; Sharifi-Zahabi, Elham; Lari, Abolfazl; Fatahi, Somaye; Shidfar, Farzad. +Institution + Sohouli, Mohammad Hassan.

Therefore, a study was performed to assess the effect of low advanced glycation end products diet on obesity and related hormones. A comprehensive literature search without any limitation on language was conducted using the following bibliographical databases: Web of Science, Scopus, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase up to October, 2019. From the eligible trials, 13 articles were selected for the systematic review and meta-analysis. Our systematic reviews and meta-analyses have shown a significant decrease in BMI (WMD: - 0.3 kg/m2; 95% CI: - 0.52, - 0.09, p = 0.005; I2 = 55.8%), weight (WMD: - 0.83 kg; 95% CI: - 1.55, - 0.10, p = 0.026; I2 = 67.0%), and leptin (WMD: - 19.85 ng/ml; 95% CI: - 29.88, - 9.82, p < 0.001; I2 = 81.8%) and an increase in adiponectin (WMD: 5.50 microg/ml; 95% CI: 1.33, 9.67, p = 0.010; I2 = 90.6%) levels after consumption of the low AGE diets compared to the high AGE diets. Also, the effect of intake of low AGE compared to high AGE diets was more pronounced in subgroup with duration > 8 weeks for the BMI and weight. Overall, according to our results, although low AGE diets appeared to be statistically significant in reducing the prevalence of obesity and chronic diseases compared to high consumption of dietary AGEs. But, no clinical significance was observed. Therefore, to confirm these results clinically, further prospective studies should be conducted in this regard. The study protocol was registered in the in International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) database as CRD42020203734. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycation End Products, Advanced). 0 (Hormones). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, human data regarding the associations are relatively scarce. This study aimed to investigate associations of C1q with obesity as well as MetS in Chinese adolescents. + + Methods: A total of 1,191 Chinese adolescents aged 13-18 years were enrolled in this study. The biochemical and anthropometric variables of all the subjects were evaluated using standardized procedures. C1q was measured using the immunoturbidometric assay. The relationship between C1q and obesity or MetS was analyzed using multiple regression analyses. + + Results: Obesity was more prevalent among participants in the highest tertile than in the lowest tertile of C1q levels. The highest tertile of C1q was related to a greater effect on the risk of MetS, and its trend test was statistically significant. Except for hyperglycemia, the prevalence of other components of MetS significantly increased relative to an increase in C1q tertile. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of C1q for predicting adolescents with MetS illustrated that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.82 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.76, 0.88; P<0.001] in the total population after adjusting for confounders. + + Conclusions: This study observed a significantly higher prevalence of obesity and MetS features in adolescents with high C1q. The findings of the current study also reported a significant relationship between C1q levels and MetS components [except for fasting plasma glucose (FPG)] in Chinese adolescents. C1q may represent a biomarker for predicting obesity or MetS in adolescents.

Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate possible interactions between circulating microRNAs and gut microbiota composition in obesity. + + METHOD: The sample comprised 78 subjects with obesity (cases, body mass index (BMI): 30-40 kg/m2) and 25 eutrophic individuals (controls, BMI <= 25 kg/m2). The expression of 96 microRNAs was investigated in plasma of all individuals using miRCURY LNA miRNA Custom PCR Panels. Bacterial DNA sequencing was performed following the Illumina 16S protocol. The FDR correction was used for multiple comparison analyses. + + RESULTS: A total of 26 circulating microRNAs and 12 bacterial species were found differentially expressed between cases and controls. Interestingly, an interaction among three miRNAs (miR-130b-3p, miR-185-5p and miR-21-5p) with Bacteroides eggerthi and BMI levels was evidenced (r2 = 0.148, p = 0.004). Moreover, these microRNAs regulate genes that participate in metabolism-related pathways, including fatty acid degradation, insulin signaling and glycerolipid metabolism. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study characterized an interaction between the abundance of 4 bacterial species and 14 circulating microRNAs in relation to obesity. Moreover, the current study also suggests that miRNAs may serve as a communication mechanism between the gut microbiome and human hosts. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Circulating MicroRNA). 0 (MicroRNAs). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fijms21249509 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Assmann&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Comprehensive+Analysis+Reveals+Novel+Interactions+between+Circulating+MicroRNAs+and+Gut+Microbiota+Composition+in+Human+Obesity.&volume=21&issue=24&spage=9509&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fijms21249509&pmid=33327530&sid=OVID:medline + +<1122> +Unique Identifier + 33322303 +Title + Herring Milt and Herring Milt Protein Hydrolysate Are Equally Effective in Improving Insulin Sensitivity and Pancreatic Beta-Cell Function in Diet-Induced Obese- and Insulin-Resistant Mice. +Source + Marine Drugs. 18(12), 2020 Dec 11. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Wang Y; Nair S; Gagnon J +Author NameID + Wang, Yanwen; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0267-0377 + Gagnon, Jacques; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5616-8249 +Authors Full Name + Wang, Yanwen; Nair, Sandhya; Gagnon, Jacques. +Institution + Wang, Yanwen.

In general, protein is beneficial relative to carbohydrate and fat but dependent on protein source. Our recent study demonstrated that 70% replacement of dietary casein protein with the equivalent quantity of protein derived from herring milt protein hydrolysate (HMPH; herring milt with proteins being enzymatically hydrolyzed) significantly improved insulin resistance and glucose homeostasis in high-fat diet-induced obese mice. As production of protein hydrolysate increases the cost of the product, it is important to determine whether a simply dried and ground herring milt product possesses similar benefits. Therefore, the current study was conducted to investigate the effect of herring milt dry powder (HMDP) on glucose control and the associated metabolic phenotypes and further to compare its efficacy with HMPH. Male C57BL/6J mice on a high-fat diet for 7 weeks were randomized based on body weight and blood glucose into three groups. One group continued on the high-fat diet and was used as the insulin-resistant/diabetic control and the other two groups were given the high-fat diet modified to have 70% of casein protein being replaced with the same amount of protein from HMDP or HMPH. A group of mice on a low-fat diet all the time was used as the normal control. The results demonstrated that mice on the high-fat diet increased weight gain and showed higher blood concentrations of glucose, insulin, and leptin, as well as impaired glucose tolerance and pancreatic beta-cell function relative to those on the normal control diet. In comparison with the high-fat diet, the replacement of 70% dietary casein protein with the same amount of HMDP or HMPH protein decreased weight gain and significantly improved the aforementioned biomarkers, insulin sensitivity or resistance, and beta-cell function. The HMDP and HMPH showed similar effects on every parameter except blood lipids where HMDP decreased total cholesterol and non-HDL-cholesterol levels while the effect of HMPH was not significant. The results demonstrate that substituting 70% of dietary casein protein with the equivalent amount of HMDP or HMPH protein protects against obesity and diabetes, and HMDP is also beneficial to cholesterol homeostasis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Fatty Acids, Nonesterified). 0 (Fish Proteins, Dietary). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Protein Hydrolysates). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Forty-two WE (23 NGT/19 T2D) and 43 BWA (23 NGT/20 T2D) men underwent assessment of plasma inflammatory markers using immunoassays alongside Dixon magnetic resonance imaging to quantify L4-5 VAT, dSAT and sSAT. Despite no ethnic differences in sSAT and dSAT, BWA men exhibited lower VAT (p = 0.002) and dSAT:sSAT (p = 0.047) than WE men. Adiponectin was inversely associated with sSAT in WE (p = 0.041) but positively associated in BWA (p = 0.031) men with T2D. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) was associated with VAT in WE but not in BWA men with NGT (WE: p = 0.009, BWA: p = 0.137) and T2D (WE: p = 0.070, BWA: p = 0.175). IL-6 was associated with dSAT in only WE men with NGT (WE: p = 0.030, BWA: p = 0.833). The only significant ethnicity interaction present was for the relationship between adiponectin and sSAT (Pinteraction = 0.003). The favourable adipose tissue distribution and the weaker relationships between adiposity and inflammation in BWA men suggest that adipose tissue inflammation may play a lesser role in T2D in BWA than WE men. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fnu12123796 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Hakim&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=The+Link+between+Obesity+and+Inflammatory+Markers+in+the+Development+of+Type+2+Diabetes+in+Men+of+Black+African+and+White+European+Ethnicity.&volume=12&issue=12&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fnu12123796&pmid=33322261&sid=OVID:medline + +<1124> +Unique Identifier + 33299020 +Title + Biomarkers of cardiometabolic complications in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. +Source + Scientific Reports. 10(1):21507, 2020 12 09. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Morel S; Leveille P; Samoilenko M; Franco A; England J; Malaquin N; Tu V; Cardin GB; Drouin S; Rodier F; Lippe S; Krajinovic M; Laverdiere C; Sinnett D; Lefebvre G; Levy E; Marcil V +Authors Full Name + Morel, Sophia; Leveille, Pauline; Samoilenko, Mariia; Franco, Anita; England, Jade; Malaquin, Nicolas; Tu, Veronique; Cardin, Guillaume B; Drouin, Simon; Rodier, Francis; Lippe, Sarah; Krajinovic, Maja; Laverdiere, Caroline; Sinnett, Daniel; Lefebvre, Genevieve; Levy, Emile; Marcil, Valerie. +Institution + Morel, Sophia.

We aimed at exploring the associations between biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial function, endotoxemia and cardiometabolic risk factors. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis in 246 cALL survivors (mean age, 22.1 +/- 6.3 years; mean time since diagnosis, 15.5 +/- 5.2 years) and evaluated the associations using a series of logistic regressions. Using structural equation models, we also tested if the relationship between endotoxemia and cardiometabolic complications was mediated by the latent (unobserved) variable inflammation inferred from the observed biomarkers CRP, TNF-alpha and IL-6. High leptin-adiponectin ratio was associated with obesity [adjusted OR = 15.7; 95% CI (6.2-39.7)], insulin resistance [20.6 (5.2-82.1)] and the metabolic syndrome [11.2 (2.6-48.7)]. Higher levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were associated with obesity [3.37 (1.6-7.1) and 2.34 (1.3-4.2), respectively] whereas high C-reactive protein levels were associated with insulin resistance [3.3 (1.6-6.8)], dyslipidemia [2.6 (1.4-4.9)] and MetS [6.5 (2.4-17.9)]. Our analyses provided evidence for a directional relationship between lipopolysaccharide binding protein, related to metabolic endotoxemia, inflammation and cardiometabolic outcomes. Identification of biomarkers and biological mechanisms could open new avenues for prevention strategies to minimize the long-term sequelae, improve follow-up and optimize the quality of life of this high-risk population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

With the rise of obesity and more rigorous research, AT is now recognized as a highly complex metabolic organ involved in a host of important physiological functions, including glucose homeostasis and a multitude of endocrine capabilities. AT dysfunction has been implicated in several disease states, most notably obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. The study of AT has provided useful insight in developing strategies to combat these highly prevalent metabolic diseases. This review highlights the major functions of adipose tissue and the consequences that can occur when disruption of these functions leads to systemic metabolic dysfunction. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

In addition, 3-day, severe caloric restriction can improve liver metabolism and glucose homeostasis prior to significant weight loss. Thus, we hypothesized that short-term, isocaloric TRF would improve NAFLD and characteristics of metabolic syndrome in diet-induced obese male mice. After 26 weeks of ad libitum access to western diet, mice either continued feeding ad libitum or were provided with access to the same quantity of western diet for 8 h daily, over the course of two weeks. Remarkably, this short-term TRF protocol modestly decreased liver tissue inflammation in the absence of changes in body weight or epidydimal fat mass. There were no changes in hepatic lipid accumulation or other characteristics of NAFLD. We observed no changes in liver lipid metabolism-related gene expression, despite increased plasma free fatty acids and decreased plasma triglycerides in the TRF group. However, liver Grp78 and Txnip expression were decreased with TRF suggesting hepatic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and activation of inflammatory pathways may have been diminished. We conclude that two-week, isocaloric TRF can potentially decrease liver inflammation, without significant weight loss or reductions in hepatic steatosis, in obese mice with NAFLD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Endoplasmic Reticulum Chaperone BiP). 0 (Hspa5 protein, mouse).

Hence, the research of its causes is mandatory. Oxidative stress (OS) can be responsible for male infertility in 30-80% of cases. In recent years, seminal plasma (SP) proteomics has developed as a useful tool to provide biomarkers of specific diseases. This systematic review aims to collect the available evidence on the changes of SP proteome in patients exposed to OS to provide possible SP biomarkers of sperm OS. To accomplish this, the following keyterms "seminal fluid proteome", "seminal plasma proteome", "oxidative stress", and "sperm oxidative stress" were used and 137 records were found. Among these, 17 were finally included. Nine proteins involved with OS were found overexpressed in patients with OS. Twenty-three proteins were found differentially expressed in patients with clinical conditions associated with OS, such as varicocele, male accessory gland infection/inflammation, cigarette smoke, and obesity. These proteins do not seem to overlap among the clinical conditions taken into account. We speculate that specific SP proteins may mediate OS in different clinical conditions. Altogether, these results suggest that proteomics could help to better understand some of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of infertility. However, further studies are needed to identify potential biomarkers of male infertility with valuable clinical significance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Proteome). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Natural products have become common as adjunct therapeutic agents for treating obesity and preventing metabolic diseases. Cocoa and its products are commonly consumed worldwide. Dark chocolate, a rich source of polyphenols, has received attention lately for its beneficial role in the management of obesity; however, conflicting results are still being reported. This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the existing literature on the relationship and effects of cocoa and dark chocolate intake among obese adults. We searched multiple databases for research investigating the consumption of cocoa and/or dark chocolate in managing obesity among adults. This review includes epidemiological and human studies that were published in English over the last 10 years. Our review of the current literature indicates that epidemiological and human trials with obese adults have shown inconsistent results, which may be due to the different populations of subjects, and different types of cocoa products and doses used for intervention. Studies among obese adults are mainly focusing on obese individuals with comorbidities, as such more studies are needed to elucidate the role of cocoa polyphenols in weight control and preventing the risk of chronic diseases among obese individuals without comorbidities as well as healthy individuals. Careful adjustment of confounding factors would be required. The effects of cocoa and dark chocolate intake on obese adults were discussed, and further research is warranted to identify the gaps. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Flavonoids). 0 (Polyphenols). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Unfortunately, prediabetes is related to non-communicable diseases. A high risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is reported in people with prediabetes. Curcumin, a polyphenol, might lead to its therapeutic role in obesity and some obesity-related metabolic diseases. Zinc is a trace element that plays a key role in the synthesis and action of insulin, carbohydrate metabolism, and decreasing inflammation. There has been no clinical trial of zinc and curcumin co-supplementation in patients with prediabetes. In previous studies, the single administration of zinc or curcumin has not been conducted on many of the studied markers in prediabetic patients. + + METHODS: The purpose of this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial is to investigate the effect of curcumin and zinc co-supplementation on glycemic measurements, lipid profiles, and inflammatory and antioxidant biomarkers among 84 prediabetic patients with body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 35. Also, liver enzyme, serum zinc, urine zinc, blood pressure, anthropometric parameters, quality of life, adherence to co-supplementation, the side effects of co-supplementation, physical activity, and dietary intake will be assessed. Women or men (18-50 years old for men and 18 years to before menopause for women) will be followed for 3 months (90 days). This study will be conducted at Yazd Diabetes Research Clinic, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences. + + DISCUSSION: A diet rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytochemicals has been shown to have a beneficial role in prediabetes. According to the beneficial properties of curcumin or zinc and inadequate evidence, RCTs are needed to assess the effect of curcumin and zinc co-supplementation in native prediabetes patients. We hope the results of the present trial, negative or positive, fill this gap in the literature and facilitate the approach for a much larger, multi-center clinical trial. In conclusion, a synergic effect of co-supplementation along with a weight-loss diet may delay the progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) IRCT20190902044671N1 .

In fact, due to the high mortality and morbidity rates, heart failure constantly requires an updated and careful management of all aspects that characterise the disease. In addition to the well-known clinical, laboratory and instrumental characteristics that affect the prognosis of heart failure, gender, age and body mass index have a different impact and deserve specific insights and clarifications. At this scope, the metabolic exercise cardiac kidney index score research group has produced several works in the past, trying to identify the role of these specific factors on the prognosis of heart failure. In particular, the different performances in the cardiopulmonary exercise test of specific categories of heart failure patients, such as women, elderly and obese or overweight individuals, have requested dedicated evaluations of metabolic exercise cardiac kidney index score power. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs)-resolvins (Rv), protectins (PD) and maresins (MaR)-actively resolve inflammation. Bariatric surgery achieves remission of diabetes, but mechanisms are unclear. We measured SPMs and proinflammatory eicosanoid levels using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in 29 morbidly obese subjects (13 with diabetes) and 15 nondiabetic, mildly obese subjects. Compared to the mildly obese, the morbidly obese had higher levels of SPMs-RvD3, RvD4 and PD1-and white blood cells (WBC) and platelets. Post-surgery, SPM and platelet levels decreased in morbidly obese nondiabetic subjects but not in diabetic subjects, suggesting continued inflammation. Despite similar weight reductions 1 year after surgery (44.6% vs. 46.6%), 8 diabetes remitters had significant reductions in WBC and platelet counts whereas five non-remitters did not. Remitters had a 58.2% decrease (p = 0.03) in 14-HDHA, a maresin pathway marker; non-remitters had an 875.7% increase in 14-HDHA but a 36.9% decrease in MaR1 to a median of 0. In conclusion, higher levels of RvD3, PD1 and their pathway marker, 17-HDHA, are markers of leukocyte activation and inflammation in morbid obesity and diabetes and diminish with weight loss in nondiabetic but not diabetic subjects, possibly representing sustained inflammation in the latter. Lack of diabetes remission after surgically-induced weight loss may be associated with reduced ability to produce MaR1 and sustained inflammation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (7,14-dihydroxydocosa-4,8,10,12,16,19-hexaenoic acid). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Eicosanoids). 0 (Fatty Acids, Unsaturated). 0 (protectin D1). 0 (resolvin D3). 0 (resolvin D4). 25167-62-8 (Docosahexaenoic Acids).

This study is a secondary analysis of a prospective study. We included 6,155 nonobese adults without NAFLD at baseline, with a median follow-up of 2.3 years. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to determine independent predictors. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to optimize the selection of variables. Based on the results of multivariate analysis, a prediction model was established. Harrell's consistency index (C-index) and area under the curve (AUC) were used to determine the discrimination of the proposed model. The goodness of fit of the calibration model was tested, and the clinical application value of the model was evaluated by decision curve analysis (DCA). The participants were randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 4,605) and a validation cohort (n = 1,550). Finally, seven of the variables (HDL-c, BMI, GGT, ALT, TB, DBIL, and TG) were included in the prediction model. In the training cohort, the C-index and AUC value of this prediction model were 0.832 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.820-0.844) and 0.861 (95% CI, 0.849-0.873), respectively. In the validation cohort, the C-index and AUC values of this prediction model were 0.829 (95% CI, 0.806-0.852) and 0.859 (95% CI, 0.841-0.877), respectively. The calibration plots demonstrated good agreement between the estimated probability and the actual observation. DCA demonstrated a clinically effective predictive model. Our nomogram can be used as a simple, reasonable, economical, and widely used tool to predict the 3-year risk of NAFLD in nonobese populations in China, which is helpful for timely intervention and reducing the incidence of NAFLD.

Widely studied in tissues, SIRT1 is under evaluation as a plasmatic marker. We aimed at assessing whether circulating SIRT1 behaves consistently with leptin and adiponectin in conditions of deficiency, excess or normal fat content. Eighty subjects were evaluated: 27 with anorexia nervosa (AN), 26 normal-weight and 27 with obesity. Bloodstream SIRT1, leptin and adiponectin (ELISA), total and trunk fat mass (FM) %, abdominal visceral adipose tissue, liver steatosis and epicardial fat thickness (EFT) were assessed. For each fat store, the coefficient of determination (R2) was used to evaluate the prediction capability of SIRT1, leptin and adiponectin. Plasma SIRT1 and adiponectin coherently decreased with the increase of FM, while the opposite occurred with leptin. Mean levels of each analyte were different between groups (p < 0.005). A significant association between plasma variables and FM depots was observed. SIRT1 showed a good predictive strength for FM, particularly in the obesity group, where the best R2 was recorded for EFT (R2 = 0.7). Blood SIRT1, adiponectin and leptin behave coherently with FM and there is synchrony between them. The association of SIRT1 with FM is substantially superimposable to that of adiponectin and leptin.

However, P2Y6R's roles in peripheral tissues regulating energy and glucose homeostasis remain unexplored. Here, we report the surprising finding that adipocyte-specific deletion of P2Y6R protects mice from diet-induced obesity, improving glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity with reduced systemic inflammation. These changes were associated with reduced JNK signaling and enhanced expression and activity of PPARalpha affecting downstream PGC1alpha levels leading to beiging of white fat. In contrast, P2Y6R deletion in skeletal muscle reduced glucose uptake, resulting in impaired glucose homeostasis. Interestingly, whole body P2Y6R knockout mice showed metabolic improvements similar to those observed with mice lacking P2Y6R only in adipocytes. Our findings provide compelling evidence that P2Y6R antagonists may prove useful for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Receptors, Purinergic P2). 0 (purinoceptor P2Y6).

This study aims to investigate the circulating levels of vaspin, leptin and their association with glycemic and lipid profiles in women with NWO. + + METHODS: Forty women with body mass index (BMI) = 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 and fat mass (FM) >= 30% were assigned in the NWO group. Thirty age-matched women with identical BMI range, and FM < 30% (normal weight non-obese; NWNO) were considered as a control group. In addition to anthropometric measurements, glycemic and lipid profiles and circulating levels of leptin and vaspin were measured. + + RESULTS: The mean +/- standard deviation (SD) age of participants was 28.76 +/- 4.76 years in the NWO group and 29.23 +/- 4.50 years in the control group. The NWO group had the higher mean serum levels of insulin (9.02 +/- 4.75 vs. 6.24 +/- 2.51, P = 0.009), leptin (17.31 +/- 8.10 vs. 9.94 +/- 4.30, P < 0.001) and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (33.77 +/- 20.71 vs. 23.48 +/- 10.03, P = 0.009) compared to the NWNO group. The serum level of vaspin was higher in the NWO group compared to the control group (34.82 pg/ml vs. 27.72 pg/ml, respectively, P = 0.12). In NWO group, the serum levels of leptin had positive correlation with FBS (r = 0.45, P = 0.02), insulin (r = 0.51, P = 0.008), and HOMA-IR (r = 0.46, P = 0.02) and vaspin concentration was associated with insulin (r = 0.36, P = 0.02) and HOMA-IR (r = 0.30, P = 0.06), positively. + + CONCLUSION: It is concluded that the concentration of insulin and HOMA-IR index were significantly higher in women with NWO compared to NWNO. Higher concentrations of leptin and vaspin in the NWO group were associated with glycemic profile. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Lipids). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1186%2fs12902-020-00648-8 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Taheri&issn=1472-6823&title=BMC+Endocrine+Disorders&atitle=Association+of+adipocytokines+with+lipid+and+glycemic+profiles+in+women+with+normal+weight+obesity.&volume=20&issue=1&spage=171&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.1186%2Fs12902-020-00648-8&pmid=33198735&sid=OVID:medline + +<1136> +Unique Identifier + 33193441 +Title + Interaction of Adipocyte Metabolic and Immune Functions Through TBK1.

In obesity and obesity-associated metabolic diseases, immune cells infiltrate into adipose tissues. Interaction between adipocytes and immune cells re-shapes both metabolic and immune properties of adipose tissue and dramatically changes metabolic set points. Both the expression and activity of the non-canonical IKK family member TBK1 are induced in adipose tissues during diet-induced obesity. TBK1 plays important roles in the regulation of both metabolism and inflammation in adipose tissue and thus affects glucose and energy metabolism. Here we review the regulation and functions of TBK1 and the molecular mechanisms by which TBK1 regulates both metabolism and inflammation in adipose tissue. Finally, we discuss the potential of a TBK1/IKKepsilon inhibitor as a new therapy for metabolic diseases. Copyright © 2020 Zhao and Saltiel. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

The changes in heart structure and function as well as metabolic profile are caused by obese people, including those free of metabolic disorders. Obesity alters heart function structure and affects lipid and glucose metabolism, blood pressure, and increase inflammatory cytokines. Adipokines, specific cytokines of adipocytes, are involved in the progression of obesity and the associated co-morbidities. In the current study, we review the scientific evidence on the effects of obesity on CVDs, focusing on the changes in adipokines. Several adipokines have anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects comprising omentin, apelin, adiponectin, and secreted frizzled-related protein (Sfrp-5). Other adipokines have pro-inflammatory impacts on the cardiovascular system and obesity including leptin, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), retinol-binding protein4 (RBP-4), visfatin, resistin, and osteopontin. We found that obesity is associated with multiple CVDs, but can only occur in unhealthy metabolic patients. However, more studies should be designed to clarify the association between obesity, adipokine changes, and the occurrence of CVDs. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Resistin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We investigated the association between obesity and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in ACS patients with and without diabetes. + + METHODS: We identified 6978 patients with ACS aged 40-79 years from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort between 2002 and 2015. Baseline body mass index (BMI) was categorized as underweight (< 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5-22.9 kg/m2), overweight (23.0-24.9 kg/m2), obese class I (25.0-29.9 kg/m2), and obese class II (>= 30.0 kg/m2). The primary outcome was major adverse CV events (MACE)-CV death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke. The secondary outcomes were the individual components of MACE, hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), and all-cause death. + + RESULTS: After adjustment for confounding variables, compared to normal-weight patients without diabetes (reference group), obese class I patients with and without diabetes had a lower risk of MACE, but only significant in patients without diabetes (with diabetes: hazard ratio [HR] 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78-1.14; without diabetes: HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.62-0.97). Obese class II patient with diabetes had a higher risk of MACE with no statistical significance (HR 1.14, 95% CI 0.82-1.59). Underweight patients with and without diabetes had a higher risk of MACE, but only significant in patients with diabetes (with diabetes: HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.24-2.58; without diabetes: HR 1.23, 95% CI 0.77-1.97). + + CONCLUSION: In ACS patients, obesity had a protective effect on CV outcomes, especially in patients without diabetes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Hypoglycemic Agents). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We aimed to assess the associations between dietary patterns and obesity and several cardiometabolic markers. Anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance, blood pressure and plasma biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation and endothelial damage were determined in 674 Caucasian children, aged 5-16, with normal or excess weight. Using a food frequency questionnaire and cluster analysis, two consistent dietary patterns were shown, labeled as health conscious (HC) and sweet and processed (SP). The HC pattern included a greater proportion of participants with overweight/obesity than the SP cluster (80.1% vs. 63.8%). However, children with obesity within the HC cluster, showed less abdominal fat, through waist to hip (0.93 vs. 0.94) and waist to height (0.61 vs. 0.63) indexes (p < 0.01). Univariate general models showed several additional differences in cardiometabolic risk biomarkers in the global and stratified analyses, with a healthier profile being observed mainly in the HC cluster. However, multivariate models questioned these findings and pointed out the need for further studies in this field. Anyhow, our findings support the benefits of a healthy diet and highlight the importance of dietary patterns in the cardiometabolic risk assessment of children with overweight/obesity, beyond weight control. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fnu12113424 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Latorre-Millan&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Dietary+Patterns+and+Their+Association+with+Body+Composition+and+Cardiometabolic+Markers+in+Children+and+Adolescents%3A+Genobox+Cohort.&volume=12&issue=11&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fnu12113424&pmid=33171599&sid=OVID:medline + +<1140> +Unique Identifier + 33169810 +Title + A comparative study evaluating C-reactive protein, sputum eosinophils and forced expiratory volume in one second in obese and nonobese asthmatics. +Source + Advances in Respiratory Medicine. 88(5):394-399, 2020. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Mahender H; Amarnath R; Vadivelu S +Author NameID + Mahender, Harish; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7625-7908 +Authors Full Name + Mahender, Harish; Amarnath, Raja; Vadivelu, Sreenivasan. +Institution + Mahender, Harish.

Inflammatory markers - sputum eosinophils, C-reactive protein (CRP) and the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were analysed to find their association in obese asthmatics and compared with their asthma control test (ACT) to understand these parameters in this phenotype. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: After completing the asthma control test (ACT), the CRP, FEV1 and sputum eosinophils of sixty asthmatics were compared to find the association of them in obese and nonobese asthmatics and contrasted with their ACT. The data were analysed using IBM SPSS V20.0, Mann-Whitney U test (non-parametric test), Pearson's correlation coefficient and Fisher's exact test. + + RESULTS: We found significant differences for CRP (P = 0.001) and sputum eosinophils (P = 0.001) between obese and nonobese asthmatics, both higher in obese asthmatics and with a significant association with body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.05). The FEV1 levels were independent of the BMI levels of asthmatics. There was a significant correlation between the CRP and sputum eosin-ophils (0.52, P = 0.001) for all asthmatics. There was no significant correlation between FEV1 and sputum eosinophils (nonobese P = 0.120, obese P = 0.388) and between FEV1 and CRP (obese P = 0.423, nonobese P = 0.358) in both obese and nonobese asthmatics. Obesity had an association (P = 0.001) with ACT scores (<= 19). + + CONCLUSIONS: Sputum eosinophils and CRP were raised in obese asthmatics and had a positive association with BMI. Obese asthmatics had a poorer subjective asthma control than nonobese asthmatics despite FEV1 being independent of the BMI levels. Measuring the systemic inflammatory markers could help in additional interventions in reducing systemic inflammation and thus possibly facilitating better symptom control. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.5603%2fARM.a2020.0155 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Mahender&issn=2451-4934&title=Advances+in+Respiratory+Medicine&atitle=A+comparative+study+evaluating+C-reactive+protein%2C+sputum+eosinophils+and+forced+expiratory+volume+in+one+second+in+obese+and+nonobese+asthmatics.&volume=88&issue=5&spage=394&epage=399&date=2020&doi=10.5603%2FARM.a2020.0155&pmid=33169810&sid=OVID:medline + +<1141> +Unique Identifier + 33167521 +Title + Roles of Adipokines in Digestive Diseases: Markers of Inflammation, Metabolic Alteration and Disease Progression.

Specifically, digestive cancers grow anatomically near adipose tissue. During their interaction with cancer cells, adipocytes are reprogrammed into cancer-associated adipocytes and secrete adipokines to affect tumor cells. Moreover, the liver is the central metabolic hub. Adipose tissue and the liver cooperatively regulate whole-body energy homeostasis via adipokines. Obesity, the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue due to hyperplasia and hypertrophy, is currently considered a global epidemic and is related to low-grade systemic inflammation characterized by altered adipokine regulation. Obesity-related digestive diseases, including gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett's esophagus, esophageal cancer, colon polyps and cancer, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis-related diseases, cholelithiasis, gallbladder cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and diabetes, might cause specific alterations in adipokine profiles. These patterns and associated bases potentially contribute to the identification of prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic approaches for the associated digestive diseases. This review highlights important findings about altered adipokine profiles relevant to digestive diseases, including hepatic, pancreatic, gastrointestinal, and biliary tract diseases, with a perspective on clinical implications and mechanistic explorations. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Here, we evaluated the potential influence of AT oxygenation on AT biology and insulin sensitivity in people. METHODS We evaluated subcutaneous AT oxygen partial pressure (pO2); liver and whole-body insulin sensitivity; AT expression of genes and pathways involved in inflammation, fibrosis, and branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism; systemic markers of inflammation; and plasma BCAA concentrations, in 3 groups of participants that were rigorously stratified by adiposity and insulin sensitivity: metabolically healthy lean (MHL; n = 11), metabolically healthy obese (MHO; n = 15), and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO; n = 20). RESULTS AT pO2 progressively declined from the MHL to the MHO to the MUO group, and was positively associated with hepatic and whole-body insulin sensitivity. AT pO2 was positively associated with the expression of genes involved in BCAA catabolism, in conjunction with an inverse relationship between AT pO2 and plasma BCAA concentrations. AT pO2 was negatively associated with AT gene expression of markers of inflammation and fibrosis. Plasma PAI-1 increased from the MHL to the MHO to the MUO group and was negatively correlated with AT pO2, whereas the plasma concentrations of other cytokines and chemokines were not different among the MHL and MUO groups. CONCLUSION These results support the notion that reduced AT oxygenation in individuals with obesity contributes to insulin resistance by increasing plasma PAI-1 concentrations and decreasing AT BCAA catabolism and thereby increasing plasma BCAA concentrations.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicalTrials.gov NCT02706262.FUNDINGThis study was supported by NIH grants K01DK109119, T32HL130357, K01DK116917, R01ES027595, P42ES010337, DK56341 (Nutrition Obesity Research Center), DK20579 (Diabetes Research Center), DK052574 (Digestive Disease Research Center), and UL1TR002345 (Clinical and Translational Science Award); NIH Shared Instrumentation Grants S10RR0227552, S10OD020025, and S10OD026929; and the Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids, Branched-Chain). 0 (Biomarkers).

One common shortcoming for the abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (ASAT) of obese subjects is the technically restricted imaging field of view (FOV). This work derives equations for the conversion between six surrogate measures and fully segmented ASAT volume and discusses the predictive power of these image-based quantities. Clinical (gender, age, anthropometry) and MRI data (1.5 T, two-point Dixon sequence) of 193 overweight and obese patients (116 female, 77 male) from a single research center for obesity were analyzed retrospectively. Six surrogate measures of fully segmented ASAT volume (VASAT) were considered: two simple ASAT lengths, two partial areas (Ap-FH, Ap-ASIS) and two partial volumes (Vp-FH, Vp-ASIS) limited by either the femoral heads (FH) or the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS). Least-squares regression between each measure and VASAT provided slope and intercept for the computation of estimated ASAT volumes (V~ASAT). Goodness of fit was evaluated by coefficient of determination (R2) and standard deviation of percent differences (sd%) between V~ASAT and VASAT. Best agreement was observed for partial volume Vp-FH (sd% = 14.4% and R2 = 0.78), followed by Vp-ASIS (sd% = 18.1% and R2 = 0.69) and AWFASIS (sd% = 23.9% and R2 = 0.54), with minor gender differences only. Other estimates from simple lengths and partial areas were moderate only (sd% > 23.0% and R2 < 0.50). Gender differences in R2 generally ranged between 0.02 (dven) and 0.29 (Ap-FH).

There were formed 2 groups: 1st group of patients with AMI and concomitant obesity (n=75), 2nd group - patients with AMI without obesity (n=30). 37 patients had obesity of the I degree, 38 patients - II degree. The groups were comparable in age and gender. Copeptin, MRproADM, troponin I were determined by enzyme immunoassay method. Data are presented as mean values and the error of the mean (M+/-m). Differences were considered statistically significant at p<0,05. + + RESULTS: Results: It was found an increased copeptin's level by 73,8 % (p<0,001) in obesity I degree and by 205,9 % in obesity II degree compared with group with isolated AMI, MRproADM - by 30,68 % (p<0,001) and 54,5 % (p<0,001) respectively. Concentration of copeptin was higher by 76 % (p<0,001) in patients with AMI and II degree obesity comparing to patients with obesity of I degree, and MRproADM - by 18,3% (p<0,001) respectively. Troponin I value fully corresponded the comparison group both in obesity of I degree and II degree (p>0,05). + + CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The present study provides evidence that a high activity of copeptin and MRproADM in patients with AMI and obesity of I degree with an excessive activity of a marker of vasoconstriction copeptin in conditions of moderate inadequate to the needs MRproADM functioning in patients with obesity of II degree. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycopeptides). 0 (Troponin I). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&AN=33148837 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ryndina&issn=0043-5147&title=Wiadomosci+Lekarskie&atitle=THE+DYNAMICS+OF+NEUROHUMORAL+MEDIATORS+OF+VASOCONSTRICTION+AND+VASODILATION+AND+TROPONIN+I+IN+PATIENTS+WITH+ACUTE+MYOCARDIAL+INFARCTION+DEPENDING+ON+THE+DEGREE+OF+CONCOMITANT+OBESITY.&volume=73&issue=9&spage=1940&epage=1943&date=2020&doi=&pmid=33148837&sid=OVID:medline + +<1146> +Unique Identifier + 33148181 +Title + Association of hemoglobin glycation index and its interaction with obesity/family history of hypertension on hypertension risk: a community-based cross-sectional survey. +Source + BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. 20(1):477, 2020 11 04. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Mi J; Song J; Zhao Y; Wu X +Author NameID + Wu, Xuesen; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8438-9380 +Authors Full Name + Mi, Jing; Song, Jian; Zhao, Yingying; Wu, Xuesen. +Institution + Mi, Jing.

In the present study, we tested the relationship between HGI and risk of hypertension, and further explored the possible interacting influences of HGI with other such factors on hypertension risk among Chinese individuals. + + METHODS: The eligible subjects were chosen from a community-based cross-sectional survey in China. We collected relevant data and clinical indicators for each participant. HGI was calculated as "measured HbA1c-predicted HbA1c" and divided into four categories according to quartile. The following indicators were used to assess interactive effects: (1) relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI); (2) attributable proportion due to interaction (AP); and (3) synergy index (SI). Statistical analysis was performed using R software. + + RESULTS: Specifically, 1777 eligible participants were selected in this cross-sectional survey. There were 433 subjects who were identified to have hypertension (24.4%). A significant increase in the prevalence of hypertension from Q1 to Q4 of HGI was observed (p < 0.001). Multivariable logistic model demonstrated that subjects at the highest HGI group had a substantially increased risk of being hypertensive than subjects in the first quartile of HGI, as indicated by the OR value of 1.87 (95% CI 1.26-2.78). Moreover, a significant interaction between family history of hypertension and HGI on hypertension risk was detected (RERI: 1.36, 95% CI 0.11-2.63; AP: 0.43, 95% CI 0.17-0.69; and SI:2.68, 95% CI 1.10-6.48). The interactive effect between HGI and abdominal obesity was also found to be significant, as estimated by the value of RERI (1.04, 95% CI 0.24-1.85), AP (0.33, 95% CI 0.11-0.56) and SI (1.96, 95% CI 1.01-3.79). However, in the analysis of the interaction between HGI and general obesity, only the AP value (0.28, 95% CI 0.01-0.54) was observed to be significant. + + CONCLUSION: High HGI was independently associated with the risk of hypertension. Moreover, HGI significantly shared interactions with obesity and family history of hypertension that influenced the risk of hypertension. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Depression is twice as common in people with diabetes and is associated with a 60% rise in the incidence of type 2 diabetes, an independent CVD risk factor. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), a key regulator of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, has been related to a large number of CV risk factors, including insulin resistance. Aim of this study was to investigate whether the presence of depression could affect PCSK9 levels in a population of obese subjects susceptible to depressive symptoms and how these changes may mediate a pre-diabetic risk. + + RESULTS: In 389 obese individuals, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) was significantly associated with PCSK9 levels. For every one-unit increment in BDI-II score, PCSK9 rose by 1.85 ng/mL. Depression was associated also with the HOMA-IR (homeostatic model assessment index of insulin resistance), 11% of this effect operating indirectly via PCSK9. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates a possible mechanism linking depression and insulin resistance, a well-known CV risk factor, providing evidence for a significant role of PCSK9. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

However, their implementation in certain populations poses difficulties. A good level of nutritional knowledge enables people to make changes in their diet that improve their health. This study aims to assess the relationship between nutritional knowledge and nutritional parameters such as dietary intake, anthropometric parameters and biomarkers. A before-after, non-randomized interventional study involving a two-monthly nutritional educational intervention was carried out over 8 months. Anthropometric and biomarker data were collected, and nutritional knowledge was evaluated using the Bach questionnaire and food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The study comprised 66 overweight and obese adults with mean age of 50.23 years. Females predominated (84.8%). At the end of the intervention, nutritional knowledge increased significantly, with a significant reduction in the consumption of sweets, soft drinks, high-fat products, and processed meats, and an increase in the intake of lean meat and poultry. A 3% decrease in body weight was observed. An intervention for the management of obesity in the adult population based on nutritional education achieves weight loss, modifications in eating habits and reduction of fat intake. Increased nutritional knowledge is associated with healthier eating habits and a decreased cardiovascular risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fnu12113355 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Lopez-Hernandez&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Improved+Nutritional+Knowledge+in+the+Obese+Adult+Population+Modifies+Eating+Habits+and+Serum+and+Anthropometric+Markers.&volume=12&issue=11&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fnu12113355&pmid=33143306&sid=OVID:medline + +<1149> +Unique Identifier + 33141863 +Title + Urbanization and health: The effects of the built environment on chronic disease risk factors among women in Tanzania. +Source + PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 15(11):e0241810, 2020. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Pinchoff J; Mills CW; Balk D +Author NameID + Pinchoff, Jessie; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3155-595X +Authors Full Name + Pinchoff, Jessie; Mills, Carrie W; Balk, Deborah. +Institution + Pinchoff, Jessie.

Cities enable greater access to health services and improved water and sanitation infrastructure, leading to some improvements in health. However, urban settings may also be associated with more sedentary, stressful lifestyles and consumption of less nutritious food. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a measure of chronic inflammation predictive of cardiovascular disease, and high body mass index (BMI), a ratio of weight to height, indicates overweight or obesity and is associated with an increased risk of many chronic diseases. To explore the association between urbanicity and these two markers, we overlaid data from the 2010 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) with a satellite-derived measure of built environment. Linear regression models were constructed for the outcomes of BMI and CRP, by 1) administratively defined urban/rural categorization from the DHS, 2) satellite derived built environment, and 3) built environment stratified by urban/rural. A total of 2,212 women were included; 23% had elevated CRP, 21% were overweight or obese. A third (33%) lived in a highly built up area and 29% lived in an area classified as urban. A strong positive association between both CRP and BMI and built environment was detected; log CRP increased 0.43 in the highest built up areas compared to not built up (p<0.05); log BMI increased 0.02 in the most built up areas compared to not built up (p<0.05). However, comparing urban to rural category was only significant in unadjusted models. Models stratified by urban/rural category highlight that the variation in CRP and BMI by built environment is mainly driven by rural areas; within urban areas there is less variation. Our findings highlight the potential negative effects of urbanicity on chronic disease markers, with potentially more change detected for those transitioning from rural to urban lifestyles. Satellite-derived urbanicity measures are reproducible and provide more nuanced understanding of effects of built environment on health. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Chronic administration of recombinant FGF21 or engineered variants improves metabolic health in rodents, nonhuman primates, and humans; however, the rapid turnover of these molecules limits therapeutic utility. Here we show that the bispecific anti-FGFR1/KLB agonist antibody BFKB8488A induced marked weight loss in obese cynomolgus monkeys while elevating serum adiponectin and the adipose expression of FGFR1 target genes, demonstrating its action as an FGF21 mimetic. In a randomized, placebo-controlled, single ascending-dose study in overweight/obese human participants, subcutaneous BFKB8488A injection caused transient body weight reduction, sustained improvement in cardiometabolic parameters, and a trend toward reduction in preference for sweet taste and carbohydrate intake. These data suggest that specific activation of the FGFR1/KLB complex in humans can be used as therapy for obesity-related metabolic defects. Copyright © 2020 the Author(s).

Yet, little is known about the gut microbiome composition of most communities in the very diverse African continent. South Africa comprises a richly diverse ethnolinguistic population that is experiencing an ongoing epidemiological transition and concurrent spike in the prevalence of obesity, largely attributed to a shift towards more Westernized diets and increasingly inactive lifestyle practices. To characterize the microbiome of African adults living in more mainstream lifestyle settings and investigate associations between the microbiome and obesity, we conducted a pilot study, designed collaboratively with community leaders, in two South African cohorts representative of urban and transitioning rural populations. As the rate of overweight and obesity is particularly high in women, we collected single time-point stool samples from 170 HIV-negative women (51 at Soweto; 119 at Bushbuckridge), performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing on these samples and compared the data to concurrently collected anthropometric data. + + RESULTS: We found the overall gut microbiome of our cohorts to be reflective of their ongoing epidemiological transition. Specifically, we find that geographical location was more important for sample clustering than lean/obese status and observed a relatively higher abundance of the Melainabacteria, Vampirovibrio, a predatory bacterium, in Bushbuckridge. Also, Prevotella, despite its generally high prevalence in the cohorts, showed an association with obesity. In comparisons with benchmarked datasets representative of non-Western populations, relatively higher abundance values were observed in our dataset for Barnesiella (log2fold change (FC) = 4.5), Alistipes (log2FC = 3.9), Bacteroides (log2FC = 4.2), Parabacteroides (log2FC = 3.1) and Treponema (log2FC = 1.6), with the exception of Prevotella (log2FC = - 4.7). + + CONCLUSIONS: Altogether, this work identifies putative microbial features associated with host health in a historically understudied community undergoing an epidemiological transition. Furthermore, we note the crucial role of community engagement to the success of a study in an African setting, the importance of more population-specific studies to inform targeted interventions as well as present a basic foundation for future research. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Ribosomal, 16S). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Therefore, we investigated the impact of an 8 week (24 session) PA intervention compared to a PA plus weight loss intervention on fat mass, glucose metabolism, and markers of inflammation in older, overweight and obese African Americans. (2) Methods: Subjects were randomized to a PA (n = 83) or PA plus weight loss (n = 72) intervention that met three times weekly for 8 weeks. At baseline and post-intervention, anthropometrics, body composition, systemic inflammation (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin 6), fasting glucose, insulin and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were determined. (3) Results: Subjects had a mean age of 67 years (SD = 5.3) and were mostly women (88%). The PA plus weight loss group lost more total and visceral fat than the PA group (-4.0% vs. +0.6% and -4.1% vs. +3.7%, respectively, p < 0.01 for both). Changes in inflammation and glucose metabolism were similar between groups post-intervention. Within the PA plus weight loss group only, serum insulin and HOMA-IR decreased significantly. (4) Conclusions: PA combined with weight loss can decrease total and visceral fat mass and improve insulin sensitivity, confirming that these cancer- and chronic disease-related risk factors are influenced by relatively modest lifestyle changes in the short term. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Cardiometabolic diseases have also been associated with copeptin, a stable surrogate marker for the arginine-vasopressin (AVP) system. Since AVP is, together with corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) an important regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis (HPA axis), we hypothesize that AVP contributes to chronic hypercortisolism in obesity. + + OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether copeptin levels are associated with Higher HairF and HairE levels in obesity. + + DESIGN: A cross-sectional study in 51 adults with obesity (BMI >=30 kg/m2). + + METHODS: Associations and interactions between copeptin, HairF, HairE, and cardiometabolic parameters were cross-sectionally analyzed. + + RESULTS: Copeptin was strongly associated with BMI and waist circumference (WC) (rho = 0.364 and 0.530, P = 0.008 and <0.001, respectively), also after correction for confounders. There were no associations between copeptin and HairF or HairE on a continuous or dichotomized scale, despite correction for confounders. + + CONCLUSION: In patients with obesity, AVP seems not a major contributor to the frequently observed high cortisol levels. Other factors which stimulate the HPA axis or affect cortisol synthesis or breakdown may be more important than the influence of AVP on long-term glucocorticoid levels in obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glucocorticoids). 0 (Glycopeptides). 0 (copeptins). 113-79-1 (Arginine Vasopressin). 9015-71-8 (Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone).

However, it is important to develop an index that considers not only the amount of dietary fatty acids but also the structure, fluidity and melting point of them. In the current study we investigated the association between a novel dietary lipophilic index (LI) with metabolic profile and dyslipidemia in a community based study in Tabriz-Iran. + + METHODS: Dietary data were collected using a validated, 79-food item, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, and dietary LI was calculated. Anthropometric variables were measured and metabolic profile including blood sugar, serum lipids and liver enzymes were assessed. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the adult treatment panel (ATP) III criteria. + + RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 42.53 +/- 12.03 years and most of the participants were women. Mean of dietary LI was 34.99 +/- 6.91. Higher dietary LI was associated with higher body mass index (BMI) (beta = 0.17, P < 0.04), waist circumference (beta = 0.18, P < 0.01) and systolic blood pressure (beta = 0.27, P < 0.01). Also LI was increased with increasing waist circumference (0.001), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (0.001), and negatively associated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (0.001). + + CONCLUSION: The novel dietary LI was considered as a useful tool in prediction of cardio-metabolic risk factors including general and central obesity, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome in a population-based study in Iran. Further researches in other disease and populations could highlight the application of this index in clinical settings. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Fats). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1186%2fs12902-020-00638-w +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Soltani&issn=1472-6823&title=BMC+Endocrine+Disorders&atitle=Association+between+a+novel+dietary+lipophilic+index+%28LI%29+with+metabolic+phenotypes+in+a+community-based+study+in+Tabriz-+Iran.&volume=20&issue=1&spage=159&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.1186%2Fs12902-020-00638-w&pmid=33109143&sid=OVID:medline + +<1155> +Unique Identifier + 33099522 +Title + FAT TISSUE AND SYNTHESIZED BY HER ADIPOKINES AS MARKERS INDICATING THE DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OSTEOARTHRITIS. +Source + Wiadomosci Lekarskie. 73(9 cz. 1):1818-1823, 2020. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Jarecki J; Tomczyk-Warunek A; Wicha M; Horecka A; Blicharski R; Dobrzynski M +Authors Full Name + Jarecki, Jaromir; Tomczyk-Warunek, Agnieszka; Wicha, Mateusz; Horecka, Anna; Blicharski, Rudolf; Dobrzynski, Maciej. +Institution + Jarecki, Jaromir.

The etiology of degenerative disease is complex and depends on many factors. However, its course was not fully understood. One of the factors affecting the development of arthrosis is obesity. Obesity is a growing problem. Over the past 30 years, the number of overweight people has almost doubled. In people suffering from obesity, whose body mass index is above 30kg/m2, the risk of developing degenerative changes in articular cartilage is six times higher than the risk of developing this disease in people with normal body weight. Osteoarthritis is detected when the symptoms get worse where the changes are already at some stage. Therefore, a lot of research is currently underway to find suitable biomarkers, which would indicate the potential development of degenerative changes in the future and at the same time the possibility of inhibiting their activity. One of them may be adipokines, which are synthesized by adipose tissue and affect cartilage. In obese people, adipokines may contribute to the inflammation of the low charterer, whichaccompanies both obesity and arthrosis. These compounds can be specific biomarkers to assess the degree of progression and severity of osteoarthritis. The aim: To assess the importance of obesity and adipokines produced by adipose tissue as specific markers of arthrosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&AN=33099522 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Jarecki&issn=0043-5147&title=Wiadomosci+Lekarskie&atitle=FAT+TISSUE+AND+SYNTHESIZED+BY+HER+ADIPOKINES+AS+MARKERS+INDICATING+THE+DEVELOPMENT+AND+PROGRESS+OF+OSTEOARTHRITIS.&volume=73&issue=9&spage=1818&epage=1823&date=2020&doi=&pmid=33099522&sid=OVID:medline + +<1156> +Unique Identifier + 33097705 +Title + Shortwave-infrared meso-patterned imaging enables label-free mapping of tissue water and lipid content. +Source + Nature communications . 11(1):5355, 2020 10 23. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Zhao Y; Pilvar A; Tank A; Peterson H; Jiang J; Aster JC; Dumas JP; Pierce MC; Roblyer D +Author NameID + Dumas, John Paul; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4724-2026 + Roblyer, Darren; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5301-4364 +Authors Full Name + Zhao, Yanyu; Pilvar, Anahita; Tank, Anup; Peterson, Hannah; Jiang, John; Aster, Jon C; Dumas, John Paul; Pierce, Mark C; Roblyer, Darren. +Institution + Zhao, Yanyu.

Here we develop a new imaging modality termed shortwave infrared meso-patterned imaging (SWIR-MPI) to provide label-free, non-contact, spatial mapping of water and lipid concentrations in tissue. The method utilizes patterned hyperspectral illumination to target chromophore absorption bands in the 900-1,300 nm wavelength range. We use SWIR-MPI to monitor clinically important physiological processes including edema, inflammation, and tumor lipid heterogeneity in preclinical models. We also show that SWIR-MPI can spatially map blood-lipids in humans, representing an example of non-invasive and contact-free measurements of in vivo blood lipids. Together, these results highlight the potential of SWIR-MPI to enable new capabilities in fundamental studies and clinical monitoring of major conditions including obesity, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). 059QF0KO0R (Water). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The adverse effects of MBG on cardiac remodeling may be exacerbated with obesity, due to an increased sensitivity of Na+/K+-ATPase to MBG. This study determined whether MBG is related to the change in LVMi over time in adults with a body mass index (BMI) >=30 kg/m2 (obese) and <30 kg/m2 (non-obese). The study followed 275 healthy participants (aged 20-30 years) from the African-Prospective study on the Early Detection and Identification of Cardiovascular disease and Hypertension (African-PREDICT) study over 4.5 years. At baseline, we measured 24 h urine MBG excretion. MBG levels were positively associated with salt intake. LVMi was determined by two-dimensional echocardiography at baseline and after >4.5 years. With multivariate adjusted analyses in obese adults (N = 56), we found a positive association of follow-up LVMi (Adjusted (Adj.) R2 = 0.35; Std. beta = 0.311; p = 0.007) and percentage change in LVMi (Adj. R2 = 0.40; Std. beta = 0.336; p = 0.003) with baseline MBG excretion. No association of LVMi (Adj. R2 = 0.37; p = 0.85) or percentage change in LVMi (Adj. R2 = 0.19; p = 0.68) with MBG excretion was evident in normal weight adults (N = 123). These findings suggest that obese adults may be more sensitive to the adverse cardiac effects of MBG and provide new insight into the potential role of dietary salt, by way of MBG, in the pathogenesis of cardiac remodeling in obese individuals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Bufanolides). 0 (Cardiac Glycosides). 0 (Sodium Chloride, Dietary). 3KBT25GV2B (marinobufagenin).

We evaluated whether obesity in prepubertal children also generates this kind of inflammation and whether calprotectin and chemerin may be useful markers for early detection of such inflammation in this group of children. The study population included 83 children aged 2 to 10 years; 62 with obesity and without components of metabolic syndrome and 21 healthy controls with normal body weight. White blood cell (WBC) count, concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), calprotectin, and chemerin were determined in peripheral blood. Our study showed that in the group with obesity, serum concentrations of calprotectin and chemerin, as well as CRP were significantly higher as compared with the controls. We found a significant positive correlation between serum chemerin concentrations and BMI z-score (r = 0.33, p < 0.01) in children with obesity. Chemerin concentration was also positively correlated with CRP level (r = 0.36, p < 0.01) in the whole group of children. These findings suggest that obesity may generate chronic low-grade inflammation as early as in the prepubertal period which can be indicated by significantly higher serum concentrations of calprotectin and chemerin. Calprotectin and especially chemerin seem to be promising indicators of this type of inflammation in children with obesity, but the correlation between these markers requires further research. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Chemokines). 0 (Intercellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins). 0 (Leukocyte L1 Antigen Complex). 0 (RARRES2 protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fijerph17207575 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Rowicka&issn=1660-4601&title=International+Journal+of+Environmental+Research+%26+Public+Health+%5BElectronic+Resource%5D&atitle=Serum+Calprotectin+and+Chemerin+Concentrations+as+Markers+of+Low-Grade+Inflammation+in+Prepubertal+Children+with+Obesity.&volume=17&issue=20&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fijerph17207575&pmid=33081030&sid=OVID:medline + +<1159> +Unique Identifier + 33077739 +Title + Pre-diagnostic biomarkers of type 2 diabetes identified in the UAE's obese national population using targeted metabolomics. +Source + Scientific Reports. 10(1):17616, 2020 10 19. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Fikri AM; Smyth R; Kumar V; Al-Abadla Z; Abusnana S; Munday MR +Authors Full Name + Fikri, Asma M; Smyth, Rosemary; Kumar, Vijay; Al-Abadla, Zainab; Abusnana, Salahedeen; Munday, Michael R. +Institution + Fikri, Asma M.

In 2019, The UAE diabetes national prevalence was 15.4%. In recent years there has been a considerable investigation of predictive biomarkers associated with these conditions. This study analysed fasting (8 h) blood samples from an obese, normoglycemic cohort and an obese, T2DM cohort of UAE nationals, employing clinical chemistry analysis, 1D 1H NMR and mass spectroscopy (FIA-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS) techniques. The novel findings reported for the first time in a UAE population revealed significant differences in a number of metabolites in the T2DM cohort. Metabolic fingerprints identified by NMR included BCAAs, trimethylamine N-oxide, beta-hydroxybutyrate, trimethyl uric acid, and alanine. A targeted MS approach showed significant differences in lysophosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylcholines, acylcarnitine, amino acids and sphingomyelins; Lyso.PC.a.C18.0, PC.ae.C34.2, C3.DC..C4.OH, glutamine and SM.C16.1, being the most significant metabolites. Pearson's correlation studies showed associations between these metabolites and the clinical chemistry parameters across both cohorts. This report identified differences in metabolites in response to T2DM in agreement with many published population studies. This contributes to the global search for a bank of metabolite biomarkers that can predict the advent of T2DM and give insight to its pathogenic mechanisms. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids, Branched-Chain). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Methylamines). 268B43MJ25 (Uric Acid).

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) participate in these processes through regulating CRC and obesity-related genes. This study aimed to develop an in silico approach to systematically identify and prioritize miRNAs target sites polymorphisms in obesity and CRC. Data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) were used to retrieve CRC and obesity-associated variants. The polymorphisms that were resided in experimentally verified or computationally predicted miRNA target sites were retrieved and prioritized using a range of bioinformatics analyses. We found 6284 CRC and 38931 obesity unique variants. For CRC 33 haplotypes variants in 134 interactions were in miRNA targetome, while for obesity we found more than 935 unique interactions. Functionally prioritized SNPs revealed that, SNPs in 153 obesity and 50 CRC unique interactions were have disruptive effects on miRNA:mRNA integration by changing on target RNA secondary structure. Structural accessibility of target sites were decreased in 418 and 103 unique interactions and increased in 516 and 79 interactions, for obesity and CRC, respectively. The miRNA:mRNA hybrid stability was increased in 127 and 17 unique interactions and decreased in 33 and 24 interactions for the effect of obesity and CRC SNPs, respectively. In this study, seven SNPs with 15 interactions and three SNPs with four interactions were prioritized for obesity and CRC, respectively. These SNPs could be used for future studies for finding potential biomarkers for diagnoses, prognosis, or treatment of CRC and obesity. Copyright © 2020 The Authors.

Objective: We aimed to examine the association between serum fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-21 to adiponectin ratio (FAR) and IHTG as assessed by MRI in children with obesity. Methods: Serum FGF21 and adiponectin levels and IHTG were measured at two time points (baseline, 6 months) in obese children enrolled in a clinical weight loss program. The association between percent change in FAR and IHTG at final visit was examined using a multiple linear regression model. Results: At baseline, FAR was higher in the subjects with NAFLD (n = 23, 35.8 +/- 41.9 pg/ng) than without NAFLD (n = 35, 19.8 +/- 13.7 pg/ng; p = 0.042). Forty-eight subjects completed both visits and were divided into IHTG loss (>=1% reduction than baseline), no change (within +/-1% change), and gain (>=1% increase than baseline) groups. At 6 months, the percent change in FAR was different among the three groups (p = 0.005). Multiple linear regression showed a positive relationship between percent change in FAR and the final liver fat percent in sex and pubertal stage-similar subjects with NAFLD at baseline (slope coefficient 6.18, 95% CI 1.90-10.47, P = 0.007), but not in those without NAFLD. Conclusions: Higher value in percent increase in FAR is positively associated with higher level of IHTG percent value at 6 months in children with baseline NAFLD. FAR could be a potential biomarker to monitor the changes in IHTG in children with NAFLD.

Additionally, a high-fat diet induces inflammation that remodels and affects the anti-inflammatory and antiatherogenic property of the high-density lipoprotein (HDL). However, the precise time course of metabolic disease progression and HDL remodeling remains unclear. Short-term (four weeks) high-fat feeding (60% fat calories) was performed in wild-type male C57BL/6J mice to gain insights into the early metabolic disease processes in conjunction with a HDL proteome dynamics analysis using a heavy water metabolic labeling approach. The high-fat diet-fed mice developed hyperglycemia, impaired glucose tolerance, hypercholesterolemia without hypertriglyceridemia or hepatic steatosis. A plasma HDL proteome dynamics analysis revealed increased turnover rates (and reduced half-lives) of several acute-phase response proteins involved in innate immunity, including complement C3 (12.77 +/- 0.81 vs. 9.98 +/- 1.20 h, p < 0.005), complement factor B (12.71 +/- 1.01 vs. 10.85 +/- 1.04 h, p < 0.05), complement Factor H (19.60 +/- 1.84 vs. 16.80 +/- 1.58 h, p < 0.05), and complement factor I (25.25 +/- 1.29 vs. 19.88 +/- 1.50 h, p < 0.005). Our findings suggest that an early immune response-induced inflammatory remodeling of the plasma HDL proteome precedes the diet-induced steatosis and dyslipidemia. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipoproteins, HDL). 0 (Proteome). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fijms21207472 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Sadana&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Early+Pro-Inflammatory+Remodeling+of+HDL+Proteome+in+a+Model+of+Diet-Induced+Obesity%3A+2H2O-Metabolic+Labeling-Based+Kinetic+Approach.&volume=21&issue=20&spage=7472&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fijms21207472&pmid=33050482&sid=OVID:medline + +<1163> +Unique Identifier + 33047256 +Title + Microalbuminuria and Serum Cystatin C: Biomarkers for Early Detection of Kidney Injury in Children with Obesity. +Source + Indian Journal of Pediatrics. 87(12):991-992, 2020 12. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Mishra OP; Prasad R +Author NameID + Mishra, Om P; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6692-7392 +Authors Full Name + Mishra, Om P; Prasad, Rajniti. +Institution + Mishra, Om P.

Between 2018 and 2019, obese (n=19) and normal weight (n=20) women with or without PCOS who were receiving IVF treatment were included in the follicular fluid study. The bio-banked serums and follicular fluid were tested for total AMH (proAMH and AMHN,C combined) and proAMH using an automatic analyzer. The AMH prohormone index (API=[proAMH]/[total AMH]x 100) was calculated as an inverse marker of conversion of proAMH to AMHN,C, with only the latter isoform that could bind to the AMH receptor complex. + + RESULTS: The API was not significantly different between controls and women with PCOS, whereas obese women had a lower API compared with their normal weight counterparts. Grouping PCOS and controls, a lower API was found in obese versus normal weight women, suggesting a greater conversion of proAMH to AMHN,C. The API in the serum was significantly correlated with metabolic parameters. In the follicular fluid, API is not different between obese and normal weight women independently of PCOS and is higher than in the concomitant serum. + + CONCLUSIONS: The proportion of inactive form of AMH in the serum is higher in normal weight versus obese women but not in the follicular fluid, independently of PCOS. The conversion of proAMH into the cleaved isoform is likely to occur in extra-ovarian tissues and to exacerbate in obese individuals. Copyright © 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd..

While lifestyle factors contribute, there is an evolving understanding of genomic and metabolomic pathways involved with obesity and its relationship with cardiometabolic risk. This review will provide an overview of some of these important findings from both a biologic and clinical perspective. + + RECENT FINDINGS: Recent studies have identified polygenic risk scores and metabolomic biomarkers of obesity and related outcomes, which have also highlighted biological pathways, such as the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) pathway that is dysregulated in this disease. These biomarkers may help in personalizing obesity interventions and for mitigation of future cardiometabolic risk. A multifaceted approach is necessary to impact the growing epidemic of obesity and related diseases. This will likely include incorporating precision medicine approaches with genomic and metabolomic biomarkers to personalize interventions and improve risk prediction. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids, Branched-Chain). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

An oral glucose tolerance test (75-g OGTT) was performed in 31 of these obese patients at baseline (T0) and in 14 patients at 6 months after bariatric surgery (T6) to assess plasma glucose, insulin and PCSK9 levels. Plasma PCSK9 levels were also measured in 18 of these obese patients at T0 during a 2-h hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (HEC). At T0, PCSK9 levels were higher in obese patients than in controls (274.6 +/- 76.7 ng/mL vs. 201.4 +/- 53.3 ng/mL) and dropped after bariatric surgery (T6; 205.5 +/- 51.7 ng/mL) along with BMI (from 44.1 +/- 5.9 kg/m2 to 33.1 +/- 5.6 kg/m2). At T6, there was also a decrease in plasma glucose (T0 vs. T6: 6.0 +/- 1.8 vs. 5.0 +/- 0.5 mmol/L) and insulin (15.7 +/- 8.3 vs. 5.4 +/- 2.1 mU/L) levels. At T0, plasma PCSK9 levels decreased during OGTT in obese patients, reaching a nadir of 262.0 +/- 61.4 ng/mL at 120 min with a hyperinsulinemic peak of 75.1 +/- 40.0 mU/L, at 60 min. Similarly, at T0 insulin infusion during 2-h HEC acutely reduced plasma PCSK9 levels in obese patients. The aforementioned OGTT-induced changes in plasma PCSK9 levels were not observed neither in nonobese healthy controls nor in obese patients after bariatric-surgery weight loss. + + CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest a pivotal role of adipose tissue and insulin resistance on PCSK9 homeostasis in severely obese patients.

Gut microbiome profiles of 171 Asians with biopsy-proven NAFLD and 31 non-NAFLD controls are analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing; an independent Western cohort is used for external validation. Subjects are classified into three subgroups according to histological spectra of NAFLD or fibrosis severity. Significant alterations in microbiome diversity are observed according to fibrosis severity in non-obese, but not obese, subjects. Ruminococcaceae and Veillonellaceae are the main microbiota associated with fibrosis severity in non-obese subjects. Furthermore, stool bile acids and propionate are elevated, especially in non-obese subjects with significant fibrosis. Fibrosis-related Ruminococcaceae and Veillonellaceae species undergo metagenome sequencing, and four representative species are administered in three mouse NAFLD models to evaluate their effects on liver damage. This study provides the evidence for the role of the microbiome in the liver fibrosis pathogenesis, especially in non-obese subjects. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Bile Acids and Salts). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Propionates). 0 (RNA, Ribosomal, 16S). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Secondary objectives of the study were to compare clinical biomarkers and food groups and macronutrient intakes between the three groups, and to test for associations between body composition components with diet quality scores and physical fitness levels. + + DESIGN: This is a secondary data analysis from a cross-sectional study that included metropolitan university and health care system employees. Body composition was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Individuals with a body mass index <25 kg/m2 and body fat >23% for men and >30% for women were classified as having NWO. Alternate Healthy Eating Index, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension score, and Mediterranean Diet Score were calculated from Block food frequency questionnaires. Physical fitness was assessed by measuring maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 maximum) during treadmill testing. + + PARTICIPANTS/SETTING: This study included 693 adults (65% women, mean age 48.9 +/- 11.5 years) enrolled between 2007 and 2013 in Atlanta, GA. + + MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcome measures were Alternate Healthy Eating Index, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, and Mediterranean Diet Score diet quality scores and maximal oxygen uptake. + + STATISTICAL ANALYSES: Multiple linear regression analyses with post hoc comparisons were used to investigate group differences in fitness, diet quality, and biomarkers. Regression analyses were also used to examine relationships between diet quality scores and fitness with body composition. + + RESULTS: VO2 maximum was significantly lower in the NWO compared with the lean group (36.2 +/- 0.8 mL/min/kg vs 40.2 +/- 1.0 mL/min/kg; P < 0.05). Individuals with NWO reported similar diet quality to lean individuals and more favorable Alternate Healthy Eating Index and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension scores than individuals with overweight-obesity (P < 0.05). Diet quality scores and physical fitness levels were inversely associated with percent body fat and visceral adipose tissue (P < 0.05), regardless of weight status. Individuals with NWO exhibited higher fasting blood insulin concentrations, insulin resistance, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, and significantly lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels than lean individuals (P < 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Physical fitness was significantly decreased in individuals with NWO compared with lean individuals. Higher diet quality was associated with decreased total and visceral fat but did not distinguish individuals with NWO from lean individuals. Copyright © 2020 Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

IL-2, a pleiotropic cytokine, contributes to immune alterations during inflammation. However, the interaction between AT-IL-2 and other inflammatory biomolecules in obesity remains elusive. We investigated whether AT-IL-2 expression was associated with markers of inflammation and insulin resistance in overweight/obese individuals. Subcutaneous fat tissues were collected from 56 individuals (lean/overweight/obese) for RNA extraction. IL-2 and inflammatory mediators were quantified by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. CRP was measured by ELISA. AT-IL-2 expression was higher in obese compared with lean individuals (P < 0.021) and correlated with BMI. IL-2 correlated with interleukins IL-8 and IL-12A (r = 0.333-0.481; p = 0.0001-0.029); as well as with chemokines and their receptors including CCL5, CCL19, CCR2 and CCR5 (r = 0.538-0.677; p < 0.0001). Moreover, IL-2 correlated with toll-like receptors (TLR2, TLR8, TLR10), interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) and cluster of differentiation CD11c (r = 0.282-0.357; p < 0.039). Notably, IL-2 was associated positively with fasting blood glucose (FBG), HbA1c, TGL and CRP (r >= 0.423;P <= 0.007). In multiple regression analysis, IL-2 is an independent predictor of IL-8, IL-12A, TLR10, TGL and HbA1c. Overall, our data demonstrate that increased expression of the AT-IL-2, in obesity, may represent a novel biomarker for progression of metabolic inflammation and insulin-resistance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Interleukin-2). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Similar to obesity, lipodystrophy (LD) causes adipose tissue dysfunction and severe metabolic complications. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) belongs to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily and is dysregulated in metabolic disease including obesity and diabetes mellitus. Circulating levels in LD and the impact of leptin treatment have not been investigated so far. Material and Methods. GDF15 serum levels were quantified in 60 LD patients without human immunodeficiency virus infection and 60 controls matched for age, gender, and body mass index. The impact of metreleptin treatment on circulating GDF15 was assessed in a subgroup of patients. GDF15 mRNA expression was determined in metabolic tissues of leptin-deficient lipodystrophic aP2-nSREBP1c-Tg mice, obese ob/ob mice, and control C57Bl6 mice. Results. Median GDF15 serum concentrations were significantly higher in LD patients (819 ng/L) as compared to the control group (415 ng/L) (p < 0.001). In multiple linear regression analysis, an independent and positive association remained between GDF15 on one hand and age, patient group, hemoglobin A1c, triglycerides, and C-reactive protein on the other hand. Moreover, there was an independent negative association between GFD15 and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Circulating GDF15 was not significantly affected by metreleptin treatment in LD patients. Gdf15 was upregulated in leptin-deficient lipodystrophic mice as compared to controls. Moreover, Gdf15 mRNA expression was downregulated by leptin treatment in lipodystrophic and obese animals. Conclusions. Serum concentrations of GDF15 are elevated in LD patients and independently associated with markers of metabolic dysfunction. Gdf15 expression is higher in lipodystrophic mice and downregulated by leptin treatment. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (GDF15 protein, human). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (Growth Differentiation Factor 15). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Srebf2 protein, mouse). 0 (Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein 2). 0 (Triglycerides). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fijms21197214 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Kralisch&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Increased+Growth+Differentiation+Factor+15+in+Patients+with+Hypoleptinemia-Associated+Lipodystrophy.&volume=21&issue=19&spage=7214&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fijms21197214&pmid=33003626&sid=OVID:medline + +<1171> +Unique Identifier + 33002457 +Title + Diagnostic and prognostic considerations for use of natriuretic peptides in obese patients with heart failure.

It has been demonstrated that an inverse relationship exists between obesity, defined by the body mass index (BMI), and NPs, such that the application of NPs to diagnostic algorithms in HF remains challenging in overweight and obese patients. Some have advocated that lowering the cut-offs for NPs or using a correction for high BMI may improve the diagnostic accuracy in obese individuals. The inverse relationship of NPs with high BMI is present in both HF with reduced (HFrEF) and with preserved (HFpEF) ejection fraction, although levels tend to be higher in HFrEF. Nevertheless, data from several studies have shown that the prognostic value of NPs is preserved across BMI classes, and that increasing circulating levels of NPs correlate with adverse outcomes including all-cause mortality and HF hospitalizations. While NPs can still be used in diagnosis of HF in obese individuals, lower thresholds and the clinical context should be utilized in decision making. Additionally, given the validated prognostic value even in obesity, NPs can be employed in risk-stratification of individuals with obesity and HF, although there remains limited evidence about use in those with severe obesity (BMI >40 kg/m2).

Elevated Hcy is a sensitive biomarker of Cbl and/or folate status and more specific than serum vitamin assays. Elevated Hcy normalizes when the correct vitamin is given. Elevated Hcy is associated with alcohol use disorder and drugs that target folate or Cbl metabolism, and is a risk factor for thrombotic vascular disease. Elevated methionine and cystathionine are associated with liver disease. Elevated Hcy, cystathionine, and cysteine, but not methionine, are common in patients with chronic renal failure. Higher cysteine predicts obesity and future weight gain. Serum S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) is elevated in Cbl deficiency and chronic renal failure. Drugs that require methylation for catabolism may deplete liver S-adenosylmethionine and raise AdoHcy and Hcy. Deficiency of Cbl or folate or perturbations of their metabolism cause major changes in sulfur amino acids. Copyright © The Author(s) 2020.

A very-low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) represents a promising option by which to achieve significant weight loss. This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of VLCKD on metabolic parameters and hormonal profiles of obese male patients. + + METHODS: We enrolled 40 overweight/obese men who consumed VLCKD for at least eight weeks. Body weight, waist circumference, fasting glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, creatinine, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, vitamin D, luteinizing hormone (LH), total testosterone (TT), and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were calculated before and after VLCKD consumption. We additionally determined the homeostasis model assessment index and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) values. + + RESULTS: After VLCKD (13.5 +/- 0.83 weeks), the mean body weight loss was 21.05 +/- 1.44 kg; the glucose homeostasis and lipid profile were improved significantly; serum vitamin D, LH, and TT levels were increased and the PSA levels were decreased significantly as compared with pretreatment values. These results are of interest since obesity can lead to hypogonadism and in turn, testosterone deficiency is associated with impaired glucose homeostasis, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes mellitus. Moreover, a close relationship between obesity, insulin resistance, and/or hyperinsulinemia and increased prostate volume has been reported, with a consequent greater risk of developing lower urinary tract symptoms. + + CONCLUSIONS: VLCKD is an effective tool against obesity and could be a noninvasive, rapid, and valid means to treat obese patients with metabolic hypogonadism and lower urinary tract symptoms. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 3XMK78S47O (Testosterone). 9002-67-9 (Luteinizing Hormone).

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that, in infertile Chinese men, body mass index (BMI) negatively correlates with sperm concentration, serum total testosterone (TT), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The relationship between other obesity-associated markers and semen quality parameters, serum reproductive hormones, lipids and leptin were also investigated. + + METHODS: 181 Chinese infertile men were recruited from September 2018 to September 2019. Their obesity-associated markers, semen parameters, and serum reproductive hormones, lipids and leptin were detected. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the relationship between obesity-associated markers and semen quality, serum reproductive hormones, lipids and leptin. + + RESULT(S): Statistically negative correlation was found between other obesity-associated markers (e.g. waist-to-hip ratio and waist-to-height ratio) and semen parameters (e.g. sperm concentration, ratio of progressive motility and ratio of non-progressive motility), while no significant correlation was found between BMI and semen quality, serum reproductive hormones, lipids and leptin. Ratio of morphologically normal sperm was negatively correlated with serum lipids including total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), leptin and seminal superoxide dismutase. Ratio of progressive sperm, sperm concentration and ratio of morphologically normal sperm exhibited significantly lower values in overweight group than normal group. Estradiol (E2) and E2/TT were significantly higher in obese group than normal group, while TT level was significantly lower in obese group than normal group. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicated that TC was significantly associated with BMI. Serum leptin concentration was positively correlated with seminal leptin concentration in overweight and obese groups. + + CONCLUSION(S): No significant correlation was found between BMI and sperm concentration, serum TT and HDL-C, while other obesity-associated markers were found to negatively correlate with sperm concentration, ratio of progressive motility and ratio of non-progressive motility. Statistically significant correlations between serum reproductive hormones, lipids and leptin also existed in Chinese infertile men. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Gonadal Steroid Hormones). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1186%2fs12958-020-00652-6 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ma&issn=1477-7827&title=Reproductive+Biology+%26+Endocrinology&atitle=Association+between+obesity-associated+markers+and+semen+quality+parameters+and+serum+reproductive+hormones+in+Chinese+infertile+men.&volume=18&issue=1&spage=95&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.1186%2Fs12958-020-00652-6&pmid=32993674&sid=OVID:medline + +<1175> +Unique Identifier + 32991385 +Title + A Case Illustrating the Practical Application of the AAOS Clinical Practice Guideline: Diagnosis and Prevention of Periprosthetic Joint Infection. +Source + Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. 28(24):e1081-e1085, 2020 Dec 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Chen AF; Riedel S +Author NameID + Chen, Antonia F; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2040-8188 + Riedel, Stefan; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0573-4957 +Authors Full Name + Chen, Antonia F; Riedel, Stefan. +Institution + Chen, Antonia F.

Obesity and intra-articular joint injections are associated with an increased risk of PJI according to this Clinical Practice Guideline. Serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and/or interleukin-6 should be obtained when diagnosing PJI. Synovial fluid leukocyte count, neutrophil percentage, aerobic and anaerobic bacterial cultures, leukocyte esterase, alpha-defensin, C-reactive protein, and nucleic acid amplification testing may assist with the diagnosis of PJI. Antibiotics should be held for 2 weeks before obtaining samples. Intraoperatively, Gram stains do not help with PJI diagnosis, whereas histopathology samples are helpful. These guidelines may help clinicians with the prevention and diagnosis of PJI. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Bacterial Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 5E8K9I0O4U (Ciprofloxacin). 9M416Z9QNR (Ceftazidime). +Publication Type + Case Reports.

Baseline vascular risk was quantified with a composite vascular risk score reflecting the presence or absence of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, current smoking, and obesity. CSF biomarkers of beta-amyloid (Abeta)1-42, total tau (t-tau), and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) were used to create dichotomous high and low AD biomarker groups (based on Abeta1-42 and tau). Linear mixed-effects models were used to examine change in a cognitive composite score (mean follow-up 13.9 years) and change in CSF biomarkers (mean follow-up 4.2 years). + + RESULTS: There was no evidence of a synergistic relationship between the vascular risk score and CSF AD biomarkers and cognitive decline. Instead, the vascular risk score (estimate -0.022, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.043 to -0.002, p = 0.03) and AD biomarkers (estimate -0.060, 95% CI -0.096 to -0.024, p = 0.001) were independently and additively associated with cognitive decline. In addition, the vascular risk score was unrelated to levels of or rate of change in CSF Abeta1-42, t-tau, or p-tau. + + CONCLUSIONS: The results of this observational cohort study suggest that vascular risk and biomarkers of AD pathology, when measured in midlife, act along independent pathways and underscore the importance of accounting for multiple risk factors for identifying cognitively normal individuals at the greatest risk of cognitive decline.

Growing evidence have demonstrated that gut microbiota is associated with the incidence of these pathologies. Hence, the identification of new nutritional compounds, able to improve health through a modulation of gut microbiota, is gaining interest. In this context, the aim of this study was to investigate the gut-driving effects of rhubarb extract in a context of diet-induced obesity and diabetes. Eight weeks old C57BL6/J male mice were fed a control diet (CTRL), a high fat and high sucrose diet (HFHS) or a HFHS diet supplemented with 0.3% (g/g) of rhubarb extract for eight weeks. Rhubarb supplementation fully prevented HFHS-induced obesity, diabetes, visceral adiposity, adipose tissue inflammation and liver triglyceride accumulation, without any modification in food intake. By combining sequencing and qPCR methods, we found that all these effects were associated with a blooming of Akkermansia muciniphila, which is strongly correlated with increased expression of Reg3gamma in the colon. Our data showed that rhubarb supplementation is sufficient to protect against metabolic disorders induced by a diet rich in lipid and carbohydrates in association with a reciprocal interaction between Akkermansia muciniphila and Reg3gamma. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (DNA, Bacterial). 0 (Plant Extracts). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fnu12102932 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Regnier&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Rhubarb+Supplementation+Prevents+Diet-Induced+Obesity+and+Diabetes+in+Association+with+Increased+Akkermansia+muciniphila+in+Mice.&volume=12&issue=10&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fnu12102932&pmid=32987923&sid=OVID:medline + +<1179> +Unique Identifier + 32983154 +Title + Obesity Accelerates Age Defects in Mouse and Human B Cells.

Immune cells are recruited to the obese adipose tissue (AT) by chemotactic molecules secreted by non-immune and immune cells in the AT, both contributing to the release of several pro-inflammatory mediators that fuel local and systemic inflammation, to the refractory response of immune cells to further in vivo and in vitro stimulation and to the induction of autoimmune B cells with potentially pathogenic repertoires. In terms of molecular mechanisms involved, leptin, an adipokine secreted primarily by adipocytes, has been proposed to be involved in the reduced generation of protective antibodies, and in the increased generation of autoimmune antibodies, further supporting the concept that obesity accelerates age defects. Leptin has also been shown to induce intrinsic B cell inflammation and B cell immunosenescence. The results presented in this review highlight the importance of weight reduction programs to improve immunity and reduce the risk for developing chronic diseases in obese and older individuals.

Clinical findings, anthropometry, blood pressure (BP), glycaemia, lipids, treatment, and co-morbid conditions were analysed. We studied the trends in age and gender distributions, body mass index (BMI), glycaemia, (Glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels), BP, cholesterol, triglycerides and therapeutic regimen during this period. Trend analyses were done. + + RESULTS: Approximately 60% of patients were men. Percentages in 30-40 years increased, ~60% were aged 50-69 years and proportion of older patients decreased (p < 0.0001). In 10 years, 85.9% was overweight, obesity increased from 22.1% to 25.0% (p < 0.0001) and <13% maintained normal BMI. HbA1c <7.0% remained approximately at 22%, percentage with moderate glycaemic control (HbA1c 7.0-7.9%) increased significantly, HbA1c of >=9.0% decreased from 35.1% to 29.1% (p < 0.0001). Use of monotherapy decreased. Prevalence of hypertension increased from 16.2% to 21.6% (p < 0.0001); use of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) and calcium channel blockers increased, Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and thiazides decreased (p < 0.0001). Increased use of statins paralleled with reduction in total cholesterol and LDLc. + + CONCLUSION: Increasing percentages of younger patients and obesity, use of multiple drugs and reduction in HbA1c were the important observations. Rising prevalence of hypertension, increased use of ARB and statins with better control of dyslipidaemia was observed. Achievement of ideal HbA1c and BP were suboptimal.

However, the effects of didemnin B on NAFLD in a model of long-term diet-induced obesity are not known. We investigated the effects of didemnin B on NAFLD severity and metabolic parameters in western diet-induced obese mice, and on the cell types that contribute to liver inflammation and fibrosis in vitro. Male 129S6 mice were fed either standard chow or western diet for 26 weeks, followed by intervention with didemnin B (50 mug/kg) or vehicle by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection once every 3 days for 14 days. Didemnin B decreased liver and plasma triglycerides, improved oral glucose tolerance, and decreased NAFLD severity. Moreover, didemnin B moderately increased hepatic expression of genes involved in ER stress response (Perk, Chop), and fatty acid oxidation (Fgf21, Cpt1a). In vitro, didemnin B decreased THP-1 monocyte proliferation, disrupted THP-1 monocyte-macrophage differentiation, decreased THP-1 macrophage IL-1beta secretion, and decreased hepatic stellate cell (HSteC) proliferation and collagen secretion under both basal and lipotoxic (high fatty acid) conditions. Thus, didemnin B improves hepatic steatosis, glucose tolerance, and blood lipids in obesity, in association with moderate, possibly hormetic, upregulation of pathways involved in cell stress response and energy balance in the liver. Furthermore, it decreases the activity of the cell types implicated in liver inflammation and fibrosis in vitro. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of partial protein synthesis inhibition in the treatment of NAFLD. Copyright © 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd..

Herein we show a role for RORalpha-expressing macrophages in the adipose tissue in altering the metabolic state of mice on a high-fat diet. The expression of Rora and RORA is elevated in white adipose tissue from obese mice and humans when compared to lean counterparts. When fed a high-fat diet Rora reporter mice revealed increased expression of Rora-YFP in macrophages in white adipose tissue deposits. To further define the potential role for Rora-expressing macrophages in the generation of an aberrant metabolic state Rorafl/flLysMCre/+ mice, which do not express Rora in myeloid cells, were maintained on a high-fat diet, and metabolic parameters assessed. These mice had significantly impaired weight gain and improved metabolic parameters in comparison to Rorafl/fl control mice. Further analysis of the immune cell populations within white adipose tissue deposits demonstrates a decrease in inflammatory adipose tissue macrophages (ATM). In obese reporter mouse there was increased in Rora-YFP expressing ATM in adipose tissue. Analysis of peritoneal macrophage populations demonstrates that within the peritoneal cavity Rora-expression is limited to myeloid-derived macrophages, suggesting a novel role for RORalpha in macrophage development and activation, which can impact on metabolism, and inflammation.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was diagnosed according to a hepatic steatosis index of > 36. Sitting time was categorized into as Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 using the age-adjusted quartile with Q4 being the longest sitting hour. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between sitting time and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in South Korean population. + + RESULTS: A total of 13,518 participants were enrolled. The odds for having NAFLD in Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 (sitting hours) were 1.07 (CI: 0.88-1.31), 1.16 (CI: 1.96-1.41), and 1.34 (CI: 1.11-1.61), respectively. The odds ratio increased in magnitude with longer hours of sitting time (test for trend: P-value = 0.0002). + + CONCLUSION: Advising physical exercises and discouraging sedentary activities may help to alleviate NAFLD among the South Korean population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Maternal overnutrition is a model of impaired muscle development leading to structural and metabolic dysfunction in adult life. In this study, we investigated the effect of an obesogenic maternal environment on growth and postnatal myogenesis in the offspring. Male C57BL/6J mice born to chow- or high-fat-diet-fed mothers were allocated to four different groups at the end of weaning. For the following 10 wk, half of the pups were maintained on the same diet as their mother and half of the pups were switched to the other diet (chow or high-fat). At 12 wk of age, muscle injury was induced using an intramuscular injection of barium chloride. Seven days later, mice were humanely killed and muscle tissue was harvested. A high-fat maternal diet impaired offspring growth patterns and downregulated satellite cell activation and markers of postnatal myogenesis 7 days after injury without altering the number of newly synthetized fibers over the whole 7-day period. Importantly, a healthy postnatal diet could not reverse any of these effects. In addition, we demonstrated that postnatal myogenesis was associated with a diet-independent upregulation of three miRNAs, mmu-miR-31-5p, mmu-miR-136-5p, and mmu-miR-296-5p. Furthermore, in vitro analysis confirmed the role of these miRNAs in myocyte proliferation. Our findings are the first to demonstrate that maternal overnutrition impairs markers of postnatal myogenesis in the offspring and are particularly relevant to today's society where the incidence of overweight/obesity in women of childbearing age is increasing. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MicroRNAs). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This study aims to investigate the effect of long-term moderate physical exercise on irisin levels and its correlations with body mass index (BMI), waist circumferences (WC), and metabolic parameters in normal weight and obese males. Material and method. A follow-up case-control study of sixty male participants, comprised of thirty normal weight and thirty obese, who had undergone supervised long-term moderate physical exercises for six months. Serum irisin levels, fasting blood glucose, serum insulin, homeostatic model assessment of the insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), and beta-cell function (HOMA-B2) were assessed. + + RESULTS: Long-term moderate exercise induced elevation of the irisin level significantly (P < 0.0001) with significant reduction of the BMI, WC, fasting blood glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-B2 levels (P < 0.0001) in comparison between obese and normal weight groups. There are significant differences for each parameter in each obese and normal weight group before and after physical exercise with exception of the BMI and WC in the normal group. Significant negative correlations were shown between irisin and blood glucose and insulin and HOMA-IR levels in the obese group and normal weight group. + + CONCLUSION: Irisin improves glucose homeostasis after long-term moderate physical exercises, suggesting that irisin could have regulatory effect on glucose, insulin resistance, and obesity and it could be used as a potential therapy for obesity and insulin resistance.

So far, the association of gut microbiota with both obesity and cancer has been described independently. Nevertheless, a specific obesity-related microbial profile linked to CRC development has not been identified. The aim of this study was to determine the gut microbiota composition in fecal samples from CRC patients with (OB-CRC) and without obesity (L-CRC) compared to the microbiota profile present in non-obese healthy controls (L-HC), in order to unravel the possible relationship between gut microbiota and microbial-derived metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), the inflammatory status, and the intestinal permeability in the context of obesity-associated CRC. The presence of obesity does not induce significant changes in the diversity and richness of intestinal bacteria of CRC patients. Nevertheless, OB-CRC patients display a specific gut microbiota profile characterized by a reduction in butyrate-producing bacteria and an overabundance of opportunistic pathogens, which in turn could be responsible, at least in part, for the higher levels of proinflammatory cytokine IL-1beta, the deleterious bacterial metabolite TMAO, and gut permeability found in these patients. These results suggest a possible role of obesity-related gut microbiota in the development of CRC, which could give new clues for the design of new diagnostic tools for CRC prevention. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Haptoglobins). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Interleukins). 0 (Methylamines). 0 (Protein Precursors). 0 (zonulin).

Obesity and diabetes are common risk factors associated with the development and progression of NAFLD, with one of the highest prevalence of these diseased conditions in the West Virginia population. Currently, the diagnosis of NAFLD is limited to radiologic studies and biopsies, which are not cost-effective and highly invasive. Hence, this study aimed to develop a panel and assess the progressive levels of circulatory biomarkers and miRNA expression in patients at risk for progression to NASH to allow early intervention strategies. (2) Methods: In total, 62 female patients were enrolled and blood samples were collected after 8-10 h of fasting. Computed tomography was performed on abdomen/pelvis following IV contrast administration. The patients were divided into the following groups: Healthy subjects with normal BMI and normal fasting blood glucose (Control, n = 20), Obese with high BMI and normal fasting blood glucose (Obese, n = 20) and Obese with high fasting blood glucose (Obese + DM, n = 22). Based on findings from CT, another subset was created from Obese + DM group with patients who showed signs of fatty liver infiltration (Obese + DM(FI), n = 10). ELISA was performed for measurement of plasma biomarkers and RT-PCR was performed for circulating miRNA expression. (3) Results: Our results show significantly increased levels of plasma IL-6, Leptin and FABP-1, while significantly decreased level of adiponectin in Obese, Obese + DM and Obese + DM(FI) group, as compared to healthy controls. The level of CK-18 was significantly increased in Obese + DM(FI) group as compared to control. Subsequently, the expression of miR-122, miR-34a, miR-375, miR-16 and miR-21 was significantly increased in Obese + DM and Obese + DM(FI) group as compared to healthy control. Our results also show distinct correlation of IL-6, FABP-1 and adiponectin levels with the expression of miRNAs in relation to the extent of NAFLD progression. (4) Conclusion: Our results support the clinical application of these biomarkers and miRNAs in monitoring the progression of NAFLD, suggesting a more advanced diagnostic potential of this panel than conventional methods. This panel may provide an appropriate method for early prognosis and management of NAFLD and subsequent adverse hepatic pathophysiology, potentially reducing the disease burden on the West Virginia population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Leptin). 0 (MicroRNAs). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fijms21186698 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Pillai&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Predicting+Nonalcoholic+Fatty+Liver+Disease+through+a+Panel+of+Plasma+Biomarkers+and+MicroRNAs+in+Female+West+Virginia+Population.&volume=21&issue=18&spage=6698&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fijms21186698&pmid=32933141&sid=OVID:medline + +<1189> +Unique Identifier + 32917958 +Title + Lactobacillus fermentum promotes adipose tissue oxidative phosphorylation to protect against diet-induced obesity. +Source + Experimental & Molecular Medicine. 52(9):1574-1586, 2020 09. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Yoon Y; Kim G; Noh MG; Park JH; Jang M; Fang S; Park H +Author NameID + Fang, Sungsoon; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0201-5567 +Authors Full Name + Yoon, Youngmin; Kim, Gihyeon; Noh, Myung-Giun; Park, Jeong-Hyeon; Jang, Mongjoo; Fang, Sungsoon; Park, Hansoo. +Institution + Yoon, Youngmin.

Notably, the administration of Lactobacillus spp. ameliorates diet-induced obesity in humans and mice. However, the mechanisms through which Lactobacillus spp. control host metabolic homeostasis remain unclear. Accordingly, in this study, we evaluated the physiological roles of Lactobacillus fermentum in controlling metabolic homeostasis in diet-induced obesity. Our results demonstrated that L. fermentum-potentiated oxidative phosphorylation in adipose tissue, resulting in increased energy expenditure to protect against diet-induced obesity. Indeed, oral administration of L. fermentum LM1016 markedly ameliorated glucose clearance and fatty liver in high-fat diet-fed mice. Moreover, administration of L. fermentum LM1016 markedly decreased inflammation and increased oxidative phosphorylation in gonadal white adipose tissue, as demonstrated by transcriptome analysis. Finally, metabolome analysis showed that metabolites derived from L. fermentum LM1016-attenuated adipocyte differentiation and inflammation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. These pronounced metabolic improvements suggested that the application of L. fermentum LM1016 could have clinical applications for the treatment of metabolic syndromes, such as diet-induced obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The relationship between plasma concentration of the adipocytokines/regulatory peptides and parameters of renal function (albumin/creatinine ratio-ACR, estimated glomerular filtration rate-eGFR), values of insulin resistance indicators (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR2), Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Sensitivity (HOMA-S), Homeostatic Model Assessment of beta-cell function (HOMA-B), quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), insulin), and parameters of carbohydrate-lipid metabolism (fasting plasma glucose-FPG, glycated hemoglobin-HbA1C, estimated glucose disposal rate-eGDR, fasting lipid profile, TG/HDL ratio) in obese type 2 diabetic patients was also investigated. Circulating irisin and vaspin were found significantly different in subjects with metabolically healthy obesity and in type 2 diabetic patients. Significant increases in blood levels of both analyzed adipokines/regulatory peptides were observed in diabetic patients after six months of metformin treatment, as compared to pre-treatment levels. The change in plasma vaspin level in response to metformin therapy was parallel with the improving of insulin resistance/sensitivity parameters. An attempt was made to identify a set of biochemical tests that would vary greatly in obese non-diabetic subjects and obese patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as a set of parameters that are changing in patients with type 2 diabetes under the influence of six months metformin therapy, and thus differentiating patients' metabolic state before and after treatment. For these data analyses, both statistical measures of strength of the relationships of individual parameters, as well as multidimensional methods, including discriminant analysis and multifactorial analysis derived from machine learning methods, were used. Adropin, irisin, and vaspin were found as promising regulatory molecules, which may turn out to be useful indicators in the early detection of T2DM and differentiating the obesity phenotype with normal metabolic profile from T2DM obese patients. Multifactorial discriminant analysis revealed that irisin and vaspin plasma levels contribute clinically relevant information concerning the effectiveness of metformin treatment in T2D patients. Among the sets of variables differentiating with the highest accuracy the metabolic state of patients before and after six-month metformin treatment, were: (1) vaspin, HbA1c, HDL, LDL, TG, insulin, and HOMA-B (ACC = 88 [%]); (2) vaspin, irisin, QUICKI, and eGDR (ACC = 86 [%]); as well as, (3) vaspin, irisin, LDL, HOMA-S, ACR, and eGFR (ACC = 86 [%]). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Enho protein, human). 0 (FNDC5 protein, human). 0 (Fibronectins). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (Hypoglycemic Agents). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Intercellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins). 0 (SERPINA12 protein, human). 0 (Serpins). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). 9100L32L2N (Metformin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fbiom10091304 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Komosinska-Vassev&issn=2218-273X&title=Biomolecules&atitle=The+Usefulness+of+Diagnostic+Panels+Based+on+Circulating+Adipocytokines%2FRegulatory+Peptides%2C+Renal+Function+Tests%2C+Insulin+Resistance+Indicators+and+Lipid-Carbohydrate+Metabolism+Parameters+in+Diagnosis+and+Prognosis+of+Type+2+Diabetes+Mellitus+with+Obesity.&volume=10&issue=9&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fbiom10091304&pmid=32917052&sid=OVID:medline + +<1191> +Unique Identifier + 32915209 +Title + Maternal high fat diet-induced obesity affects trophoblast differentiation and placental function in mice . +Source + Biology of Reproduction. 103(6):1260-1274, 2020 12 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kretschmer T; Turnwald EM; Janoschek R; Zentis P; Bae-Gartz I; Beers T; Handwerk M; Wohlfarth M; Ghilav M; Bloch W; Hucklenbruch-Rother E; Dotsch J; Appel S +Authors Full Name + Kretschmer, Tobias; Turnwald, Eva-Maria; Janoschek, Ruth; Zentis, Peter; Bae-Gartz, Inga; Beers, Tim; Handwerk, Marion; Wohlfarth, Maria; Ghilav, Mojgan; Bloch, Wilhelm; Hucklenbruch-Rother, Eva; Dotsch, Jorg; Appel, Sarah. +Institution + Kretschmer, Tobias.

However, molecular changes and mechanisms of placental dysfunction remain largely unknown. This work aimed to decipher structural and molecular alterations of the placental transfer zone associated with MO. To this end, mice were fed a high fat diet (HFD) to induce obesity before mating, and pregnant dams were sacrificed at E15.5 to receive placentas for molecular, histological, and ultrastructural analysis and to assess unidirectional materno-fetal transfer capacity. Laser-capture microdissection was used to collect specifically placental cells of the labyrinth zone for proteomics profiling. Using BeWo cells, fatty acid-mediated mechanisms of adherens junction stability, cell layer permeability, and lipid accumulation were deciphered. Proteomics profiling revealed downregulation of cell adhesion markers in the labyrinth zone of obese dams, and disturbed syncytial fusion and detachment of the basement membrane (BM) within this zone was observed, next to an increase in materno-fetal transfer in vivo across the placenta. We found that fetuses of obese dams develop a growth restriction and in those placentas, labyrinth zone volume-fraction was significantly reduced. Linoleic acid was shown to mediate beta-catenin level and increase cell layer permeability in vitro. Thus, MO causes fetal growth restriction, molecular and structural changes in the transfer zone leading to impaired trophoblast differentiation, BM disruption, and placental dysfunction despite increased materno-fetal transfer capacity. These adverse effects are probably mediated by fatty acids found in HFD demonstrating the need for obesity treatment to mitigate placental dysfunction and prevent offspring pathologies.

We aimed to assess the levels of newer biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk; pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and anti-heat-shock protein27 (anti-Hsp27) antibody titers in subjects with various blood groups (A, B, AB and O) and with or without traditional CVD risk factors. + + METHODS: The cross-sectional study comprised 6910 subjects. Antigen-antibody agglutination was evaluated by the slide test method for identification of ABO blood groups. + + RESULTS: Among three markers, only Serum anti-Hsp27 titers significantly differed between the four blood groups and showed the highest and lowest values in AB and O blood groups (0.26 +/- 0.22 and 0.23 +/- 0.18 OD, respectively; P < 0.05). Serum anti-Hsp27 was higher in individuals with an AB blood group with metabolic syndrome (MetS), dyslipidemia, hypertension (HTN) and obesity and it was lower in subjects with O blood group; though, two other biomarkers, serum PAB and hs-CRP, were not significantly different between the ABO blood groups. However, they were not different among blood groups in participants with or without diabetes mellitus (DM) (P > 0.05). + + CONCLUSION: Individuals with an AB blood group and high levels of anti-Hsp27 antibody titers may be predisposed to CVDs that can be mediated through the traditional CVD risk factors among middle-aged subjects from northeastern Iran. The fact that differences in anti Hsp27 are only found in the subgroup with other risk factors suggest that the difference between ABO blood groups is a consequence rather than a cause.

Obesity was induced by high fat diet (HFD), and testis RNA was used for the transcriptome analysis using RNAseq via Illumina NovaSeq 6000 System and NovaSeq 6000 Kit. Gene expression level was estimated as FPKM (Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads). Differential expressed genes (DEGs) were annotated against gene ontology (GO) and KEGG databases. More than 63.66 million reads per sample were performed with 100 bp cutoff and 6 Gb sequencing depth. Results of this study revealed that 267 GO terms (245 biological processes (BP), 14 cellular components (CC), eight molecular functions (MF)), and 89 KEGG pathways were significantly enriched. Moreover, total numbers of 136 genes were differentially expressed (107 upregulated, 29 downregulated) with + + FC + + >= 2 and bh adjusted <0.05. Interesting DEGs were detected, including obesity and lipid metabolism-related genes, immune response-related genes, cytochrome P450 genes, including aromatase were upregulated, whereas genes related to male fertility and fertilization, cell adhesion, and olfactory receptors were downregulated. The combined expression pattern of the DEGs in obese animals indicated an increase in cholesterol metabolism. Furthermore, high aromatase activity enhances the testosterone turnover into estradiol and lowers the testosterone/estradiol (T/E) ratio, which ultimately reduces fertility. In addition, downregulation of cadherens junction components genes leads to the pre-mature release of sperm from Sertoli cells resulting in the reduction of fertility. Moreover, the downregulation of olfactory receptor genes reduces the chemotaxis capacity of sperms in tracking the oocyte for fertilization, which reduces male fertility. Furthermore, various obesity molecular markers were detected in our transcriptome. The results of this study will enhance our understanding of the molecular network of obesity development, development of obesity novel molecular diagnosis markers, molecular bases of obesity-induced infertility, and the development of anti-obesity drugs. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 3XMK78S47O (Testosterone). 63231-63-0 (RNA). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fijms21186493 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=El-Shehawi&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Transcriptome+Analysis+of+Testis+from+HFD-Induced+Obese+Rats+%28Rattus+norvigicus%29+Indicated+Predisposition+for+Male+Infertility.&volume=21&issue=18&spage=6493&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fijms21186493&pmid=32899471&sid=OVID:medline + +<1194> +Unique Identifier + 32898995 +Title + Validating candidate biomarkers for different stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. +Source + Medicine. 99(36):e21463, 2020 Sep 04. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Al-Qarni R; Iqbal M; Al-Otaibi M; Al-Saif F; Alfadda AA; Alkhalidi H; Bamehriz F; Hassanain M +Authors Full Name + Al-Qarni, Reem; Iqbal, Muhammad; Al-Otaibi, Maram; Al-Saif, Faisal; Alfadda, Assim A; Alkhalidi, Hisham; Bamehriz, Fahad; Hassanain, Mazen. +Institution + Al-Qarni, Reem.

NAFLD may range from simple steatosis to advanced cirrhosis, and affects more than 1 billion people around the world. To date, there has been no effective treatment for NAFLD. In this study, we evaluated the expression of 4 candidate NAFLD biomarkers to assess their possible applicability in the classification and treatment of the disease.Twenty-six obese subjects, who underwent bariatric surgery, were recruited and their liver biopsies obtained. Expression of 4 candidate biomarker genes, PNPLA3, COL1A1, PPP1R3B, and KLF6 were evaluated at gene and protein levels by RT-qPCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively.A significant increase in the levels of COL1A1 protein (P = .03) and PNPLA3 protein (P = .03) were observed in patients with fibrosis-stage NAFLD compared to that in patients with steatosis-stage NAFLD. However, no significant differences were found in abundance of PPP1R3B and KLF6 proteins or at the gene level for any of the candidate. This is the first study, to our knowledge, to report on the expression levels of candidate biomarker genes for NAFLD in the Saudi population. Although PNPLA3 and PPP1R3B had been previously suggested as biomarkers for steatosis and KLF6 as a possible marker for the fibrosis stage of NAFLD, our results did not support these findings. However, other studies that had linked PNPLA3 to fibrosis in advanced NAFLD supported our current finding of high PNPLA3 protein in patients with fibrosis. Additionally, our results support COL1A1 protein as a potential biomarker for the fibrosis stage of NAFLD, and indicate its use in the screening of patients with NAFLD. Further studies are required to validate the use of COL1A1 as a biomarker for advanced NAFLD in a larger cohort. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fibrillar Collagens). 0 (Membrane Proteins). 0 (collagen type XXI).

More than one in three Egyptians is obese, the highest rate in the world. We aimed to delineate the variability of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction markers among Egyptian females with different obesity classes. + + METHODS: Out of 130 females, 70 were categorized into three obesity groups: Class I, body mass index (BMI) 30-34.9 kg/m2; Class II, BMI 35-39.9 kg/m2 and Class III BMI >= 40 kg/m2, besides 60 control subjects. Anthropometric measurements were recorded and serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL) 6 (IL-6), IL-12, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1) and soluble vascular adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) were assessed among participants. + + RESULTS: In all three classes of obesity, significant increase (P <0.05) in BMI, waist-hip ratio, fat mass and body fat mass % were noted. CRP and sVCAM-1 levels were increased among the three obesity groups. TNF-alpha levels were increased in class II and III obesity groups. IL-6 and IL-12 levels were elevated in class I and class III groups. While, ICAM-1 levels were increased in class III obesity group. + + CONCLUSION: Based on individuals' BMI, serum levels of TNF-alpha, CRP, IL-6, IL-12, sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 are differentially altered with the progression of obesity. We strongly support the hypothesis that, as the obesity rate is still mounting, a subclinical inflammatory reaction has a role in pathogenesis of obesity and emphasize the elevation of endothelial dysfunction in individuals with obesity.

In these environments, RAGE is expressed on the surface of various cells associated with tissue disturbance. This review mainly summarizes the characteristics of RAGE-related signalling, with a particular emphasis on the role of RAGE in the development of obesity. We also briefly describe the phenotypes and characteristics of macrophages and focus on the role of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) and the regulatory mechanisms in obesity, diabetes, and other related metabolic diseases. Besides, we will also elaborate on the prospect of new strategies for treating diabetes and obesity-related metabolic diseases by inhibiting RAGE signalling and regulating ATMs recruitment and polarization. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, mechanisms underlying non-obese non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remain unclear. + + AIMS: To attempt to identify metabolic perturbations associated with non-obese and obese NAFLD using a lipidomics approach. + + METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis of 361 subjects with biopsy-proven NAFLD (157 NAFL and 138 NASH) and healthy controls (n = 66) was performed. Individuals were categorised as obese or non-obese based on the Asian cut-off for body mass index. Circulating lipidomic profiling of sera was performed based on the histological severity of NAFLD. Circulating lipidomic alterations were validated with an independent validation set (154 NAFLD subjects [93 NAFL and 61 NASH] and 21 healthy controls). + + RESULTS: Saturated sphingomyelin (SM) species were significantly associated with visceral adiposity in non-obese NAFLD (SM d38:0; P < 0.001) but not in obese NAFLD. Additionally, SM levels were significantly associated with systemic and adipose tissue insulin resistance (SM d38:0; P = 0.002 and <0.001, respectively). Five potential lipid metabolites for non-obese subjects and seven potential lipids for obese subjects were selected to predict NAFLD and NASH. These lipid combinations showed good diagnostic performance for non-obese (area under the curve [AUC] for NAFLD/NASH = 0.916/0.813) and obese (AUC for NAFLD/NASH = 0.967/0.812) subjects. Moreover, distinctly altered patterns of diacylglycerol (DAG), triacylglycerol (TAG) and SM levels were confirmed in the validation set depending on the histological severity of NAFLD. + + CONCLUSION: Non-obese and obese NAFLD subjects exhibit unique circulating lipidomic signatures, including DAGs, TAGs and SMs. These lipid combinations may be useful biomarkers for non-obese and obese NAFLD patients.

There is ongoing evidence that exposure to PCB153 may influence gut microbiota health and increase the risk of host health. It is needed to illuminate whether there are associations between gut microbiota dysregulation and PCB153-induced host diseases. Importantly, it is urgently needed to find specific strains as biomarkers to monitor PCB153 pollution and associated disorders. The work aims to investigate the change of gut microbiota composition, structure and diversity and various host physiological indexes, to ravel the chain causality of PCB153, gut microbiota health and host health, and to find potential gut microbiota markers for PCB153 pollution. Here, adult female mice were administrated with PCB153. Obtained results indicated that PCB153 led to gut microbiota health deterioration. PCB153 exposure also induced obesity, hepatic lipid accumulation, abdominal adipose tissue depots and dyslipidemia in mice. Furthermore, specific gut microbiota significantly correlated with the host health indexes. This work provides support for the relationship between gut microbiota aberrance derived from PCB153 and risk of host health, and offers some indications of possible indicative functions of gut microbiota on PCB153 pollution.

The protein sources of the 4 diets were 100% nondairy protein (NDP), or 50% of the NDP energy replaced by milk (MP), milk fermented by Lactobacillus helveticus (FMP), or Greek-style yogurt (YP) protein. Fecal 16S rRNA gene-based amplicon sequencing, intestinal gene expression, and glucose tolerance test were conducted. Hepatic inflammation and circulating adhesion molecules were measured by multiplex assays. + + RESULTS: Feeding WT mice for 12 wk led to a 74% increase in body weight, whereas after 24 wk the LRKO mice had a 101.5% increase compared with initial body weight. Compared with NDP and MP, the consumption of FMP and YP modulated the gut microbiota composition in a similar clustering pattern, upregulating the Streptococcus genus in both genotypes. In WT mice, feeding YP compared with NDP increased the expression of genes involved in jejunal (Reg3b, 7.3-fold, P = 0.049) and ileal (Ocln, 1.7-fold, P = 0.047; Il1-beta,1.7-fold, P = 0.038; Nos2, 3.8-fold, P = 0.018) immunity and integrity. In LRKO mice, feeding YP compared with MP improved insulin sensitivity by 65% (P = 0.039). In LRKO mice, feeding with FMP versus NDP attenuated hepatic inflammation (monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, 2.1-fold, P < 0.0001; IL1-beta, 5.7-fold, P = 0.0003; INF-gamma, 1.7-fold, P = 0.002) whereas both FMP [vascular adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1), 1.3-fold, P = 0.0003] and YP (VCAM1, 1.04-fold, P = 0.013; intracellular adhesion molecule 1, 1.4-fold, P = 0.028) decreased circulating adhesion molecules. + + CONCLUSION: Both fermented dairy protein products reduce cardiometabolic risk factors in diet-induced obese mice, possibly by modulating the gut microbiota.

T2DM increases the risk of cardiovascular-related death. We investigated changes in circulating exosomal microRNA (miRNA) profiles in patients with DM with obesity compared with patients without DM with obesity. + + RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This prospective study involved 29 patients with obesity (patients without DM=16, patients with DM=13) and healthy volunteers (HVs) (n=18). We measured circulating levels of exosomal miRNAs by next-generation sequencing and compared miRNA levels across the three groups. + + RESULTS: The expression levels of 25 miRNAs (upregulated=14, downregulated=11) differed between patients with obesity with DM and patients with obesity without DM. Compared with HV, patients with DM with obesity had 53 dysregulated miRNAs. Additionally, moving stepwise from HV to patients with obesity without DM to patients with obesity with DM, there was a consistent increase in expression levels of miR-23a-5p and miR-6087 and a consistent decrease in expressions levels of miR-6751-3p. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our data show that the exosomal miRNAs is altered by dysregulated glucose metabolism in patients with obesity. This circulating exosomal miRNA signature in patients with obesity with or without DM is a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in these patients.

We postulated that it would be feasible to collect sufficient abdominal AT to quantify changes in a broad array of adaptive and innate mononuclear white cells in obese non-diabetic adults in response to a dipeptidyl protease inhibitor (DPP4i), known to inhibit activation of immune white cells. + + METHODS: Adults 18-55 years-of-age were screened for abdominal obesity and insulin resistance or impaired glucose tolerance but without known inflammatory conditions. Twenty-one eligible participants consented for study and were randomized 3:1 to receive sitagliptin (DPP4i) at 100mg or matching placebo daily for 28 days. Abdominal AT collected by percutaneous biopsy and peripheral blood mononuclear cell fractions were evaluated before and after treatment; plasma was stored for batch testing. + + RESULTS: Highly sensitive C-reactive protein, a global marker of inflammation, was not elevated in the study population. Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) type 3 (ILC-3) in abdominal AT decreased with active treatment compared with placebo (p = 0.04). Other immune white cells in AT and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) fractions did not change with treatment compared to placebo (p>0.05); although ILC-2 declined in PBMCs (p = 0.007) in the sitagliptin treatment group. Two circulating biomarkers of atherogenesis, interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) and sCD40L declined in plasma (p = 0.02 and p = 0.07, respectively) in the active treatment group, providing indirect validation of a net reduction in inflammation. + + CONCLUSIONS: In this pilot study, two cell types of the innate lymphoid system, ILC-3 in AT and ILC-2 PBMCs declined during treatment and as did circulating biomarkers of atherogenesis. Changes in other immune cells were not demonstrable. The study showed that sufficient abdominal AT could be obtained to quantify white cells of both innate and adaptive immunity and to demonstrate changes during therapy with an immune inhibitor. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier (NCT number): NCT02576. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Using repeated measures of food-frequency questionnaires, we calculated empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP) and empirical dietary index for hyperinsulinemia (EDIH) scores, which are food-based indices that characterize dietary inflammatory or insulinemic potential based on circulating biomarkers of inflammation or C-peptide. Diagnoses of type 2 diabetes were confirmed by validated supplementary questionnaires. + + RESULTS: We documented 19,666 incident type 2 diabetes cases over 4.9 million person-years of follow-up. In the pooled multivariable-adjusted analyses, individuals in the highest EDIP or EDIH quintile had 3.11 times (95% CI 2.96-3.27) and 3.40 times (95% CI 3.23-3.58) higher type 2 diabetes risk, respectively, compared with those in the lowest quintile. Additional adjustment for BMI attenuated the associations (hazard ratio 1.95 [95% CI 1.85-2.05] for EDIP and hazard ratio 1.87 [95% CI 1.78-1.98] for EDIH), suggesting adiposity partly mediates the observed associations. Moreover, individuals in both highest EDIP and EDIH quintiles had 2.34 times higher type 2 diabetes risk (95% CI 2.17-2.52), compared with those in both lowest quintiles, after adjustment for BMI. + + CONCLUSIONS: Higher dietary inflammatory and insulinemic potential were associated with increased type 2 diabetes incidence. Findings suggest that inflammation and hyperinsulinemia are potential mechanisms linking dietary patterns and type 2 diabetes development.

Not surprisingly, deficiencies of these vitamins have been linked to various disease states. Unfortunately, not much is known about the physiological levels of B6 vitamers and vitamin B3 in an ethnically isolated group (such as an Emirati population), as well as their relationship with obesity. The aim of the present study was to quantify various B6 vitamers, as well as B3, in the plasma of obese and healthy Emirati populations and to examine their correlation with obesity. A sensitive and robust HPLC-MS/MS-based method was developed for the simultaneous quantitation of five physiologically relevant forms of vitamin B6, namely pyridoxal, pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, pyridoxamine phosphate, and pyridoxal phosphate, as well as nicotinamide, in human plasma. This method was used to quantify the concentrations of these vitamers in the plasma of 57 healthy and 57 obese Emirati volunteers. Our analysis showed that the plasma concentrations of nicotinamide, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine phosphate in the obese Emirati population were significantly higher than those in healthy volunteers (p < 0.0001, p = 0.0006, and p = 0.002, respectively). No significant differences were observed for the plasma concentrations of pyridoxine and pyridoxal phosphate. Furthermore, the concentrations of some of these vitamers in healthy Emirati volunteers were significantly different than those published in the literature for Western populations, such as American and European volunteers. This initial study underscores the need to quantify micronutrients in distinct ethnic groups, as well as people suffering from chronic metabolic disorders. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 25X51I8RD4 (Niacinamide). 3THM379K8A (Pyridoxal). 6466NM3W93 (Pyridoxamine).

However, it is unclear how different inflammatory biomarkers predict dysregulation in specific tissues/organs, particularly adipose tissue. + + OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to examine whether GlycA, a nuclear magnetic resonance-measured biomarker of inflammation, is a better predictor of insulin-suppressible lipolysis and other measures of metabolic dysfunction compared with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in human obesity. + + METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study of 58 nondiabetic adults with obesity (body mass index: 39.8 +/- 7.0 kg/m2, age 46.5 +/- 12.2 years, 67.2% female) who underwent a frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test in the fasted state. Noninsulin-suppressible (l0), insulin-suppressible (l2), and maximal (l0+l2) lipolysis rates, as well as insulin sensitivity and acute insulin response to glucose, were calculated by minimal model analysis. Nuclear magnetic resonance was used to measure GlycA. Body composition was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. + + RESULTS: GlycA was strongly correlated with hsCRP (r = +0.46; P < .001). GlycA and hsCRP were positively associated with l2, l0+l2, and fat mass (Ps < .01). In linear regression models accounting for age, race, sex, and fat mass, GlycA remained significantly associated with l2 and l0+l2 (Ps < .05), whereas hsCRP did not (Ps >= .20). Neither GlycA nor hsCRP was associated with l0, insulin sensitivity, or acute insulin response to glucose. + + CONCLUSIONS: GlycA was associated with elevated lipolysis, independent of adiposity, in adults with obesity. Our findings suggest that GlycA and hsCRP have distinct inflammation-mediated metabolic effects, with GlycA having a greater association with adipose tissue dysfunction. Further studies are warranted to investigate the mechanisms underlying these associations.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between serum 25(OH)D levels and MetS in Thai postmenopausal women. + + METHODS: A total of 340 postmenopausal women were enrolled in the study. The concentration of 25(OH)D, lipid profiles, fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, blood pressure, and demographic and anthropometric parameters were measured. Subjects were divided into the hypovitaminosis D and vitamin D sufficiency groups. The association of serum 25(OH)D levels with MetS in postmenopausal women was analyzed using multivariate regression analysis. + + RESULTS: Waist circumference, total cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels were significantly higher in hypovitaminosis D than in vitamin D sufficiency (p < 0.05). The prevalence of MetS, central obesity, and hypertriglyceridemia in hypovitaminosis D was significantly higher than in vitamin D sufficiency (p < 0.05). In the multivariable logistic regression model, hypovitaminosis D was associated with MetS (OR 1.85; 95% CI 1.12-3.04, p = 0.015), central obesity (OR 2.41; 95% CI 1.20-4.85, p = 0.014), and hypertriglyceridemia (OR 1.91; 95% CI 1.12-3.26, p = 0.018) compared with vitamin D sufficiency after adjusting for covariates. Serum vitamin D concentrations were significantly lower in the MetS group than in the non-MetS group (p = 0.016) and decreased with an increasing number of MetS components (p for trend = 0.034). + + CONCLUSIONS: Hypovitaminosis D was associated with an increased risk of MetS, central obesity, and hypertriglyceridemia in Thai postmenopausal women.

Here, we report that pregnant mice that consume a diet high in omega-6 (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and low in omega-3 (n-3) PUFAs (an n-6high/n-3low diet), whose n-6/n-3 ratio is approximately 120, induces hedonic consumption in the offspring by upregulating the midbrain dopaminergic system. We found that exposure to the n-6high/n-3low diet specifically increases the consumption of palatable foods via increased mesolimbic dopamine release. In addition, neurodevelopmental analyses revealed that this induced hedonic consumption is programmed during embryogenesis, as dopaminergic neurogenesis is increased during in utero access to the n-6high/n-3low diet. Our findings reveal that maternal consumption of PUFAs can have long-lasting effects on the offspring's pattern for consuming highly palatable foods. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids, Omega-3). 0 (Fatty Acids, Omega-6).

It was recently documented that long-term fasting improves metabolic health and enhanced the total antioxidant capacity. The present study investigated the influence of a 10-day fasting on markers of the redox status in 109 subjects. Reducing power, 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt radical cation(ABTS) radical scavenging capacity, and hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity increased significantly, and indicated an increase of circulating antioxidant levels. No differences were detected in superoxide scavenging capacity, protein carbonyls, and superoxide dismutase when measured at baseline and after 10 days of fasting. These findings were concomitant to a decrease in blood glucose, insulin, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides as well as an increase in total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio. In addition, the well-being index as well as the subjective energy levels increased, documenting a good tolerability. There was an interplay between redox and metabolic parameters since lipid peroxidation baseline levels (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances [TBARS]) affected the ability of long-term fasting to normalize lipid levels. A machine learning model showed that a combination of antioxidant parameters measured at baseline predicted the efficiency of the fasting regimen to decrease LDL levels. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that long-term fasting enhanced the endogenous production of antioxidant molecules, that act protectively against free radicals, and in parallel improved the metabolic health status. Our results suggest that the outcome of long-term fasting strategies could be depending on the baseline values of the antioxidative and metabolic status of subjects. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

Its action has been widely studied, placing it into the metabolic health beneficial products of the adipose tissue. Nevertheless, adiponectin has been shown to exert some extra beneficial non metabolic actions, as well. Adiponectin levels can be related to reduced incidence of cancer in obese patients. Moreover, adiponectin has been shown to be implicated in the positive fertility outcomes of women. Some new studies have also indicated that adiponectin has a potential effect in the control of appetite, which raises a question, whether adiponectin could be accredited to be useful in the endocrine evaluation of obesity.

This state of inflammation is characterized by the alteration in adipokine regulation, which may lead to a situation of cardiometabolic risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a concurrent training program on markers of lipoinflammation in adult people with obesity, comparing the response to the training between men and women. A quasi-experimental, quantitative, and longitudinal study with a pre-post intervention was conducted. An 8-week concurrent training program was carried out, in which 26 individuals with obesity participated (mean +/- SD; age = 46.38 +/- 4.66) (BMI = 36.05 +/- 4.99) (12 men and 14 women). Before and after the intervention period, blood samples were taken by percutaneous puncture. The blood levels of adiponectin and leptin were evaluated. Significant differences were obtained in the adiponectin-leptin ratio (A/L ratio) of the entire sample (p = 0.009, ES = 0.53), which indicates a decrease in the risk of cardiovascular diseases and lipoinflammation. There were no significant differences in the improvements observed after the training in A/L ratio between women (A/L change = +63.5%) and men (A/L change= +59.2%). It can be concluded that the combination of aerobic exercise and resistance training induced an improvement in markers of lipoinflammation and cardiometabolic risk in the individuals with obesity evaluated in this study. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

We aimed to identify association(s) between nutritional and metabolic status and exposure to environmental pollution in a cohort of policemen exposed to high levels of air pollution. Methods: We considered adult municipal policemen, working in an urban area at high-traffic density with documented high levels of air PM2.5 (exposed group) compared to non-exposed policemen. Clinical characteristics, including the presence/absence of metabolic syndrome, were recorded, and serum biomarkers, including adiponectin, leptin, and ghrelin, were assessed. Results: One hundred ninety-nine participants were enrolled, 100 in the exposed group and 99 in the non-exposed group. Metabolic syndrome was documented in 32% of exposed group and in 52.5% of non-exposed group (P = 0.008). In the exposed group, we found a positive correlation between body mass index and serum leptin as well as in the non-exposed group (P < 0.0001). Within the exposed group, subjects with metabolic syndrome showed lower serum adiponectin (P < 0.0001) and higher leptin (P = 0.002) levels with respect to those without metabolic syndrome, whereas in the non-exposed group, subjects with metabolic syndrome showed only higher leptin levels when compared to those without metabolic syndrome (P = 0.01). Among the participants with metabolic syndrome, we found lower adiponectin levels in those of the exposed group with respect to the non-exposed ones (P = 0.007). When comparing the exposed and non-exposed groups, after stratifying participants for Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance >2.5, we found lower adiponectin levels in those of the exposed group with respect to the non-exposed ones (P = 0.038). Conclusions: Exposure to air PM pollution was associated with lower levels of adiponectin in adult males with metabolic syndrome.

We audited the reporting of body-mass index in nephrology outpatient clinics to establish the characteristics of individuals with obesity in nephrology practice. Body-mass index, clinical information and biochemical measures were recorded for patients attending clinics between 3rd August, 2018 and 18th January, 2019. Inferential statistics and Pearson correlations were used to investigate relationships between body-mass index, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and proteinuria. Mean +/- SD BMI was 28.6 +/- 5.8 kg/m2 (n = 374). Overweight and obesity class 1 were more common in males (P = .02). Amongst n = 123 individuals with obesity and chronic kidney disease, mean +/- SD age, n (%) female and median[IQR] eGFR were 64.1 +/- 14.2 years, 52 (42.3%) and 29.0[20.5] mL/min/BSA, respectively. A positive correlation between increasing body-mass index and proteinuria was observed in such patients (r = 0.21, P = .03), which was stronger in males and those with CKD stages 4 and 5. Mean body-mass index was 2.3 kg/m2 higher in those treated with 4-5 versus 0-1 antihypertensives (P = .03). Amongst n = 59 patients with obesity, chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes, 2 (3.5%) and 0 (0%) were prescribed a GLP-1 receptor analogue and SGLT2-inhibitor, respectively. Our data provides a strong rationale not only for measuring body-mass index but also for acting on the information in nephrology practice, although prospective studies are required to guide treatment decisions in people with obesity and chronic kidney disease.

Its more stable precursor protein midregional proadrenomedullin (MRproADM) can be measured more reliably compared to ADM. Our objective was to investigate the potential role of MRproADM as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in critically ill patients at the intensive care unit (ICU). We therefore measured MRproADM in 203 ICU patients and 66 healthy controls. We found that MRproADM levels are significantly increased in critically ill patients as compared to healthy controls. MRproADM levels are significantly increased in patients with sepsis, but its diagnostic value for identifying sepsis is numerically lower than that of established markers (e.g., interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin). MRproADM levels are closely correlated to endothelial and organ dysfunction, inflammation, and established clinical scores (APACHE II, SOFA, and SAPS2). MRproADM concentrations correlate with vasopressor use but not fluid balance. Increased MRproADM levels (cut - off > 1.4 nmol/L) in critically ill patients are independent predictors of ICU and overall mortality during a follow-up of up to 26 months (OR 3.15 for ICU mortality, 95% CI 1.08-9.20, p = 0.036; OR for overall mortality 2.4, 95% CI 1.12-5.34, p = 0.026). Our study demonstrates the potential of MRproADM serum levels as a prognostic biomarker in critical illness for ICU mortality and long-term survival during follow-up.

Despite an intensive baboon management programme, there are certain individual baboons and troops that continue to raid human food sources. These food sources often are high in processed carbohydrates and saturated fats. As this diet is highly associated with obesity, insulin resistance and type II diabetes, the present study aimed to establish if these baboons may be at risk of developing insulin resistance. Post mortem muscle samples from 17 Cape Peninsula and 7 control adult male baboons were rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen and analysed for insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), oxidative and glycolytic markers of metabolism (citrate synthase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA-dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase activities), and muscle fibre morphology. The sampled Peninsula baboons were heavier (33 +/- 2 vs. 29 +/- 2 kg, P < 0.05) and had a higher frequency of poor teeth compared to control baboons. Muscle fibre type, fibre size, GLUT4 content, oxidative and glycolytic metabolism were not different between the two groups. However, IRS-1 content, a marker of insulin sensitivity, was significantly lower (by 43%, P < 0.001) in the Peninsula baboons compared to the controls. This study provides the first indirect evidence that some Peninsula baboons with a history of raiding human food sources, may be at risk of developing insulin resistance in the wild, with long term implications for population health.

We investigated whether selected biomarkers of ECM remodeling in AT in healthy subjects associated with the amount and distribution of AT and with glucometabolic variables. Subcutaneous AT and fasting blood samples from 103 middle-aged healthy non-obese men were used. AT gene expression and circulating levels of the biomarkers were quantified. Distribution of AT was assessed by computed tomography, separated into subcutaneous, deep subcutaneous and visceral AT. Insulin sensitivity was measured by glucose clamp technique. Metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP)-1 and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 expression in AT correlated significantly to the amount of AT in all compartments (rs = 0.41-0.53, all p <= 0.01), and to insulin sensitivity, insulin, C-peptide, waist circumference and body mass index (BMI) (rs = 0.25-0.57, all p <= 0.05). MMP-9 was 5.3 fold higher in subjects with insulin sensitivity below median (p = 0.002) and 3.1 fold higher in subjects with BMI above median level (p = 0.013). In our healthy non-obese middle-aged population AT-expressed genes, central in remodeling of ECM, associated strongly with the amount of abdominal AT, overweight and insulin sensitivity, indicating AT-remodeling to play a role also in non-obese individuals.

Approach and Results: The analyses included 489 participants (50% Blacks, aged 24.6+/-3.3 years at the first visit) with up to 4 follow-up visits (1149 samples) over a maximum of 8.5 years. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, and carotid intima-media thickness together with plasma HMGB1, hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), IFN-gamma (interferon-gamma), IL-6 (interleukin-6), IL-10 (interleukin-10), and TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor-alpha) were measured at each visit. At baseline, plasma HMGB1 concentrations were higher in Blacks compared with Whites (3.86 versus 3.20 ng/mL, P<0.001), and in females compared with males (3.75 versus 3.30 ng/mL, P=0.005). HMGB1 concentrations increased with age (P=0.007), and higher levels of obesity measures (P<0.001). Without adjustment for age, sex, race, and body mass index, HMGB1 concentrations were positively associated with hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-alpha, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (P<0.05) but not IL-10, IFN-gamma or carotid intima-media thickness. After covariate adjustments, the associations of HMGB1 with hs-CRP, and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity remained statistically significant (P<0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the age, sex, and race differences in circulating HMGB1. The increasing circulating concentrations of HMGB1 with age suggest a potential role of HMGB1 in the pathogenesis of chronic low-grade inflammation, obesity, and subclinical cardiovascular disease risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (HMGB1 Protein). 0 (HMGB1 protein, human). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Methods Seventy-nine obese and 35 normal weight children were enrolled. Each weight group was further divided in accordance with the presence of PH. ABP was recorded in an outpatient setting. Results Obese children had higher systolic ABP (p<0.05) and heart rate (p<0.001) compared with normal weight children. In obese children with PH, only nighttime systolic ABP (p=0.01) was higher compared with obese without PH, whereas normal weight children with PH had higher 24 h and daytime systolic and diastolic BP (all p<0.05) and nighttime DBP (p<0.001) compared with those without PH. PH but not obesity was associated with nondipping phenomenon. Prevalence of MH in the whole group was 23.6% being significantly higher in obese than in nonobese subjects (31.6 vs. 5.7%; p=0.0026) as well as in obese subjects with PH compared with obese subjects without PH (48.7 vs. 15%; chi2=10.37; p=0.001). MH was diagnosed more frequently in obese with high-normal office BP compared with obese with normal office BP, although it did not reach statistical significance (50 vs. 26.2%; chi2=3.631; p=0.056). In the normal weight group, neither PH nor office BP category had an impact on the prevalence of MH. Conclusions Office normotensive obese children had higher ABP values. MH was associated with obesity, PH and high-normal BP. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1515%2fjpem-2020-0269 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Valent+Moric&issn=0334-018X&title=Journal+of+Pediatric+Endocrinology+%26+Metabolism&atitle=Ambulatory+blood+pressure+profile+in+office+normotensive+obese+children%3A+prevalence+of+masked+hypertension+and+impact+of+parental+hypertension.&volume=33&issue=10&spage=1313&epage=1320&date=2020&doi=10.1515%2Fjpem-2020-0269&pmid=32809962&sid=OVID:medline + +<1217> +Unique Identifier + 32809874 +Title + Obese-Inflammatory Phenotypes in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction. +Source + Circulation: Heart Failure. 13(8):e006414, 2020 08. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Sabbah MS; Fayyaz AU; de Denus S; Felker GM; Borlaug BA; Dasari S; Carter RE; Redfield MM +Authors Full Name + Sabbah, Michael S; Fayyaz, Ahmed U; de Denus, Simon; Felker, G Michael; Borlaug, Barry A; Dasari, Surendra; Carter, Rickey E; Redfield, Margaret M. +Institution + Sabbah, Michael S.

Obesity is proinflammatory and common in HFpEF. We hypothesized that unique obesity-inflammation HFpEF phenotypes exist and are associated with differences in clinical features, fibrosis biomarkers, and functional performance. + + METHODS: Patients (n=301) from 3 HFpEF clinical trials were studied. Unsupervised machine learning (hierarchical clustering) with obese status and 13 inflammatory biomarkers as input variables was performed. Associations of clusters with HFpEF severity and fibrosis biomarkers (PIIINP [procollagen III N-terminal peptide], CITP [C-telopeptide for type I collagen], IGFBP7 [insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-7], and GAL-3 [galectin-3]) were assessed. + + RESULTS: Hierarchical clustering revealed 3 phenotypes: pan-inflammatory (n=129; 64% obese), noninflammatory (n=83; 55% obese), and obese high CRP (C-reactive protein; n=89; 98% obese). The pan-inflammatory phenotype had more comorbidities and heart failure hospitalizations; higher left atrial volume, NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide), and fibrosis biomarkers; and lower glomerular filtration rate, peak oxygen consumption, 6-minute walk distance, and active hours/day (P<0.05 for all). The noninflammatory phenotype had the most favorable values for all measures. The obese high CRP phenotype resembled the noninflammatory phenotype except for isolated elevation of CRP and lower functional performance. Hierarchical cluster assignment was independent of CRP genotype combinations that alter CRP levels and more biologically plausible than other clustering approaches. Multiple traditional analytic techniques confirmed and extended the hierarchical clustering findings. + + CONCLUSIONS: Unique obesity-inflammation phenotypes exist in HFpEF and are associated with differences in comorbidity burden, HFpEF severity, and fibrosis. These data support comorbidity-driven microvascular inflammation as a pathophysiologic mechanism for many but not all HFpEF patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We investigated cross-sectional and prospective associations between frequency of ED-intake in young-adults and (i) body mass index (BMI) and (ii) Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and its components. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Participants from the Raine Study at 20-years (n = 1236) and 22 years (n = 1117) self-reported ED-intake, dietary intake, and physical activity, and had blood and anthropometric measures taken. Regression modelling examined associations between ED-intake and BMI, MetS and its components. There was a positive, but not significant, cross-sectional association with BMI and likelihood of MetS with frequent ED use at 20-years (BMI: beta = 0.19; MetS: OR = 1.11) and 22-years (BMI: beta = 0.51; MetS: OR = 1.28). There were no associations in the prospective analysis. After adjustment, significant associations existed between occasional ED-intake and lower HDL-cholesterol (beta = -0.07) and higher fasting triglycerides (beta = 0.16) at 20-years, and lower fasting triglycerides at 22-years (beta = -0.10), but no significant associations in the prospective analyses. + + CONCLUSION: No significant associations existed between frequency of ED-intake, and BMI, MetS or its individual components over two years (ages 20-22 years). Future studies should include volume of EDs consumed and longer follow-up.

Heart failure is a common comorbidity of cardiometabolic syndrome. Successful drug development to prevent cardiometabolic syndrome and associated comorbidities requires preclinical models predictive of human conditions. To characterize the heart failure component of cardiometabolic syndrome, cardiometabolic, metabolic, and renal biomarkers were evaluated in lean and obese ZSF1 19- to 32-week-old male rats. Histopathological assessment of kidneys and hearts was performed. Cardiac function, exercise capacity, and left ventricular gene expression were also analyzed. Obese ZSF1 rats exhibited multiple features of human cardiometabolic syndrome by pathological changes in systemic renal, metabolic, and cardiovascular disease circulating biomarkers. Hemodynamic assessment, echocardiography, and decreased exercise capacity confirmed heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. RNA-seq results demonstrated changes in left ventricular gene expression associated with fatty acid and branched chain amino acid metabolism, cardiomyopathy, cardiac hypertrophy, and heart failure. Twelve weeks of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) treatment significantly decreased body weight, food intake, blood glucose, and triglycerides and improved exercise capacity in obese ZSF1 males. Systemic cardiovascular injury markers were significantly lower in GDF15-treated obese ZSF1 rats.

These glycemic markers were repeated 11 +/- 7 days later. Abnl-GT diagnosis required 0 h >=5.6 mmol/L (>=100 mg/dL) and/or 2 h >=7.8 mmol/L (>=140 mg/dL). Thresholds for HbA1c, GA, and fructosamine were the values at the 75th percentile for the population (39 mmol/mol [5.7%], 14.2%, and 234 mumol/L, respectively). + + RESULTS: Abnl-GT prevalence in the nonobese was 34% versus 42% in the obese (P = 0.124). Reproducibility was excellent for HbA1c and GA (both kappa >= 0.8), but moderate for fructosamine (kappa = 0.6). Focusing on HbA1c and GA in the nonobese, we found as single tests the sensitivities of HbA1c and GA were 36% versus 37% (P = 0.529). Combining HbA1c and GA, sensitivity increased to 58% because GA identified 37% of Africans with Abnl-GT not detected by HbA1c (P value for both tests vs. HbA1c alone was <0.001). For the obese, sensitivities for HbA1c, GA, and the combined tests were 60%, 27%, and 67%, respectively. Combined test sensitivity did not differ from HbA1c alone (P = 0.25) because GA detected only 10% of obese Africans with Abnl-GT not detected by HbA1c. + + CONCLUSIONS: Adding GA to HbA1c improves detection of Abnl-GT in nonobese Africans.

Patients with obesity with COVID-19 are 7 times more likely to need invasive mechanical ventilation than are patients without obesity (OR 7.36; 95% CI: 1.63-33.14, p = 0.021). Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is one of the main causes of death related to COVID-19 and is triggered by a cytokine storm that damages the respiratory epithelium. Interleukins that cause the chronic low-grade inflammatory state of obesity, such as interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, monocyte chemoattractant peptide (MCP)-1, and, in particular, IL-17A and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), also play very important roles in lung damage in ARDS. Therefore, obesity is associated with an immune state favourable to a cytokine storm. Our hypothesis is that serum concentrations of TNF-alpha and IL-17A are more elevated in patients with obesity and COVID-19, and consequently, they have a greater probability of developing ARDS and death. The immunobiology of IL-17A and TNF-alpha opens a new fascinating field of research for COVID-19. Copyright © 2020.

Although intermittent fasting has shown some promise in improving glucoregulatory indicators and body composition in adults with obesity, there is currently no systematic review evaluating these effects in adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes. A database search of PubMed, CINHAL, and MEDLINE identified five studies that met inclusion criterion. All studies were randomized controlled trials in adult subjects (n = 46-137) with type 2 diabetes and a body mass index of >=30 kg/m2. Four different intermittent fasting regimens were reviewed. All fasting regimens revealed strong evidence to support intermittent fasting as a feasible diet to improve glycemia and body composition measures within 12-24 weeks. Follow-up 12-18 months after intermittent fasting did not show promising results for continued weight loss and improved glycemic control. The majority of the studies demonstrated insignificant differences between intermittent fasting and continuous energy restriction for measures of glycated hemoglobin a1c and body composition. More data on intermittent fasting in adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes are needed to determine its benefits within this patient population. Future research should include consistent fasting regimens and larger sample sizes to improve the reliability and generalizability of the data. Also, consistent follow-up after a fasting intervention may enhance long-term benefits and should be considered in future research. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Our research group has recently reported that intestinal Th17 response limits gut dysbiosis and LPS translocation to visceral adipose tissue (VAT), protecting against metabolic syndrome. However, whether NOD2 receptor contributes intestinal Th17 immunity, modulates dysbiosis-driven metabolic tissue inflammation, and obesity-induced T2D remain poorly understood. In this context, we observed that mice lacking NOD2 fed a high-fat diet (HFD) display severe obesity, exhibit greater adiposity, and more hepatic steatosis compared to HFD-fed wild-type (WT) mice. In addition, they develop increased hyperglycemia, worsening of glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance. Notably, the deficiency of NOD2 causes a deviation from M2 macrophage and regulatory T cells (Treg) to M1 macrophage and mast cells into VAT compared to WT mice fed HFD. An imbalance was also observed in Th17/Th1 cell populations, with reduced IL-17 and IL-22 gene expression in the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) and ileum, respectively, of NOD2-deficient mice fed HFD. 16S rRNA sequencing indicates lower richness, alpha diversity, and a depletion of Allobaculum, Lactobacillus, and enrichment with Bacteroides genera in these mice compared to HFD-fed WT mice. These alterations were associated with disrupted tight-junctions expression, augmented serum LPS, and bacterial translocation into VAT. Overall, NOD2 activation is required for a protective Th17 over Th1 immunity in the gut, which seems to decrease gram-negative bacteria outgrowth in gut microbiota, attenuating the endotoxemia, metainflammation, and protecting against obesity-induced T2D.

Whether plasma leptin levels reflect changes in metabolites of these pathways is unknown. + + OBJECTIVES: We aimed to find whether there is an association between leptin levels and levels of metabolites of energy and hormone metabolism. + + METHODS: We performed an untargeted metabolomics analysis of plasma from 110 healthy adults (men: women = 1:1; aged 18-40 years), using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Blood samples were collected from all the study subjects in the fasting state. Clinical features and markers of obesity and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were assessed in all. The association between levels of metabolites and clinical and biochemical parameters was identified using the multivariable-adjusted linear regression model and PLS-DA analysis. + + RESULTS: The leptin level was found to have a significant association with a substantial number of metabolites in women and men. Leptin level was positively associated with glycocholic acid and arachidic acid, metabolites related to energy metabolisms, pregnanediol-3-glucuronide, a metabolite of progesterone metabolism, and quercetin 3'-sulfate, a diet-derived metabolite. Leptin level was negatively associated with ponasteroside A and barringtogenol C levels. Leptin level was positively correlated with adiponectin and negatively with total calorie intake and levels of triglyceride and very-low-density lipoprotein. Leptin levels were associated with lipid and sex hormone metabolism in women, while metabolites involved in amino acid metabolism were correlated to leptin in men. + + CONCLUSION: Our study indicates that leptin level reflects metabolome alterations and hence could be a useful marker to detect early changes in energy and hormone metabolisms. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This research sought to test the MC4R rs17782313, rs476828 and rs12970134 SNPs, their haplotypes and gene-environment interactions on the risk of obesity in the Maonan ethnic group, an isolated minority in China. + + METHODS: A case-control study comprised of 1836 participants (obesity group, 858; and control group, 978) was conducted. Genotypes of the three SNPs were determined by the next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. + + RESULTS: The genotypic frequencies of the three SNPs were different between the obesity and control groups (P < 0.05 for all). The minor allelic frequency of the MC4R rs17782313C, rs476828C and rs12970134A was higher in obesity than in control groups (13.8% vs. 8.3%, P < 0.001, 17.1% vs. 10.9%, P < 0.001; and 15.5% vs. 11.5%, P < 0.001; respectively). Additionally, the dominant model of rs17782313 and rs476828 SNPs revealed an increased morbidity function on the risk of obesity (P < 0.05). A correlation between SNP-environment and the risk of obesity was also observed. The rs17782313C-rs476828C-rs12970134A haplotype was associated with high risk of obesity (OR = 1.796, 95% CI = 1.447-2.229), whereas the rs17782313T-rs476828T-rs12970134G and rs17782313T-rs476828T-rs12970134A haplotypes were associated with low risk of obesity (OR = 0.699, 95% CI = 0.586-0.834 and OR = 0.620, 95% CI = 0.416-0.925; respectively). The interactions between haplotype and waist circumference on the risk of obesity were also noted. + + CONCLUSIONS: We discovered that the MC4R rs17782313, rs476828 and rs12970134 SNPs and their haplotypes were associated with the risk of obesity in the Chinese Maonan population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MC4R protein, human). 0 (Receptor, Melanocortin, Type 4). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Leptin, is one of the main hormones that modulate food intake and are altered in individuals diagnosed with ED. Genetic risk variants for obesity, like those reported inFTO and ABCA1, have also been associated to ED disorders. The present study aimed to analysed leptin circulating levels and the interaction between obesity-risk variants in FTO and ABCA1, in adolescents diagnosed with ED. A total of 99 individuals diagnosed with ED were genotype using Taqman probes for FTO (rs9939609) and ABCA1 (p.Arg230Cys, rs9282541). Commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were utilized to determined circulating leptin. Differences in leptin concentration were analysed by t-Student or ANOVA test. Gene-gene interaction were analysed using general estimation equations. Circulating leptin levels differed between the three diagnostic groups, lead by individuals diagnosed with binge eating-disorder. In individuals with more than 3 of episodes of binge-eating per week having the highest leptin levels. Also, we found that carriers of both risk alleles had the highest leptin levels. Our observations found an interaction between FTO rs9969609 and the native American-origin ABCA1 p.Arg230Cys to modulate circulating leptin levels in Mexican adolescents diagnosed with eating-disorders.

Fat accumulation is one of the central manifestations; it occurs via a complex mechanism where multiple metabolic signals converge. Sirtuins are an enzyme family with deacetylase functions that are implicated in the regulation of several genes. Sirt1 and its upstream regulator (miR-34a) are elements of a converging mechanism that integrates the dynamic metabolic state. In this work, we hypothesized that elevated levels of miR-34a in overweight/obese group inhibits Sirt1 activity. Therefore, we studied the miR-34a/Sirt1 axis in mononuclear cells obtained from adipose tissue. + + METHODS: Adipose tissue samples were collected from 36 subjects, and they were categorized according to body mass index (BMI) as overweight/obesity and normoweight. Subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were enzymatically dissociated, and mononuclear cells from adipose tissue were isolated by Ficoll Hypaque. Sirt1-positive cells and relative Sirt1 expression were determined by flow cytometry and real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), respectively. Finally, Sirt1 activity was measured with a luminescence assay. + + RESULTS: The percentage of Sirt1-positive mononuclear cells from adipose tissue decreased along with Sirt1 enzymatic activity in overweight/obese participants. miR-34a expression increased in the overweight/obese group compared to normoweight individuals. There was a negative association between the relative miR-34a expression and Sirt1-positive cells and a synergistic effect on Sirt1-positive cells mediated by the miR-34a inhibitor and Sirt1 agonist. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our results describe for the first time the presence of miR-34a and Sirt1 in mononuclear cells isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissue. Additionally, these results suggest altered sirtuin function in overweight/obese patients and open the possibility for new therapies that involve these metabolic targets.

Here, we attempt to unravel the association of astaxanthin consumption with selected health benefits by performing a systematic review and meta-analysis. + + METHODS: Online literature search databases including Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed/Medline, Embase and Google Scholar were searched to discover relevant articles available up to 17 March 2020. We used mean changes and SD of the outcomes to assess treatment response from baseline and mean difference, and 95 % CI were calculated to combined data and assessment effect sizes in astaxanthin and control groups. + + RESULTS: 14 eligible articles were included in the final quantitative analysis. Current study revealed that astaxanthin consumption was not associated with FBS, HbA1c, TC, LDL-C, TG, BMI, BW, DBP, and SBP. We did observe an overall increase in HDL-C (WMD: 1.473 mg/dl, 95 % CI: 0.319-2.627, p = 0.012). As for the levels of CRP, only when astaxanthin was administered (i) for relatively long periods (>= 12 weeks) (WMD: -0.528 mg/l, 95 % CI: -0.990 to -0.066), and (ii) at high dose (> 12 mg/day) (WMD: -0.389 mg/dl, 95 % CI: -0.596 to -0.183), the levels of CRP would decrease. + + CONCLUSION: In summary, our systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that astaxanthin consumption was associated with increase in HDL-C and decrease in CRP. Significant associations were not observed for other outcomes. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

However, goat's milk composition depends on the type of food provided to the animal and thus, the abundance of bioactive compounds in milk depends on the dietary sources of the goat feed. The metabolic impact of goat milk rich in bioactive compounds during metabolic challenges such as a high-fat (HF) diet has not been explored. Thus, we evaluated the effect of milk from goats fed a conventional diet, a conventional diet supplemented with 30% Acacia farnesiana (AF) pods or grazing on metabolic alterations in mice fed a HF diet. Interestingly, the incorporation of goat's milk in the diet decreased body weight and body fat mass, improved glucose tolerance, prevented adipose tissue hypertrophy and hepatic steatosis in mice fed a HF diet. These effects were associated with an increase in energy expenditure, augmented oxidative fibers in skeletal muscle, and reduced inflammatory markers. Consequently, goat's milk can be considered a non-pharmacologic strategy to improve the metabolic alterations induced by a HF diet. Using the body surface area normalization method gave a conversion equivalent daily human intake dose of 1.4 to 2.8 glasses (250 mL per glass/day) of fresh goat milk for an adult of 60 kg, which can be used as reference for future clinical studies. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids). 0 (Linoleic Acids, Conjugated). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fijms21155530 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Delgadillo-Puga&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Goat%27s+Milk+Intake+Prevents+Obesity%2C+Hepatic+Steatosis+and+Insulin+Resistance+in+Mice+Fed+A+High-Fat+Diet+by+Reducing+Inflammatory+Markers+and+Increasing+Energy+Expenditure+and+Mitochondrial+Content+in+Skeletal+Muscle.&volume=21&issue=15&spage=5530&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fijms21155530&pmid=32752280&sid=OVID:medline + +<1231> +Unique Identifier + 32745698 +Title + Screening strategies for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in type 2 diabetes: Insights from NHANES 2005-2016. +Source + Diabetes Research & Clinical Practice. 167:108358, 2020 Sep. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ciardullo S; Sala I; Perseghin G +Authors Full Name + Ciardullo, Stefano; Sala, Isabella; Perseghin, Gianluca. +Institution + Ciardullo, Stefano.

Here, we estimate the number of patients with T2DM and NAFLD in the United States that should be evaluated for advanced liver fibrosis according to proposed screening strategies. + + METHODS: In this cross-sectional analysis of 2940 adult patients with T2DM (projected to 15.3 million) from the 2005-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) we applied validated noninvasive scores of liver steatosis and fibrosis to estimate the number of referrals to hepatologists. We followed two different approaches: (1) the flow-chart from the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), Diabetes (EASD) and Obesity (EASO) guidelines; (2) a strategy recently proposed in patients with T2DM aimed at excluding advanced liver fibrosis with a negative predictive value of 100%. + + RESULTS: NAFLD (based on fatty liver index) was present in 78% of patients (projected to 11.9 million). According to the EASL-EASD-EASO guidelines 37.2-48.5% of patients (projected to 5.7-7.4 million) should be referred to experts, depending on the specific biomarker of fibrosis used. The second strategy, which is based sequentially on aspartate aminotransferase and Fibrosis-4 was able to exclude advanced fibrosis in 67.0% of patients. + + CONCLUSIONS: Screening strategies based on noninvasive scores are able to exclude advanced liver fibrosis in 50-67% of patients with T2DM. Novel biomarkers or combination of tests may be necessary to reduce the need for liver biopsy and related bleeding episodes in the remaining 33-50%. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

The goal of this review is to examine the most recent literature, with a focus on the impact of obesity on the assessment of disease activity and treatment outcomes in RA. + + RECENT FINDINGS: Obesity is common in patients with RA and can have a substantial impact on patient symptoms and outcomes. Obesity is associated with higher rates of chronic pain and opiate use, elevated inflammatory markers, and less reliable physical exam findings, making assessment of disease activity and treatment response more challenging. Despite seemingly worse clinical disease activity, evidence has accumulated demonstrating that obese patients with RA have less inflammation by imaging and lower rates of radiographic progression over time. Whether obesity influences the effectiveness of specific therapies remains controversial. Obesity is very common and is associated with more severe symptoms and higher rates of disability among RA patients. While clinical disease activity is frequently observed to be higher in obese patients with RA, it remains unclear whether poorer treatment response rates in this setting are related to reduced efficacy of therapies or are an artifact of biases in the accurate assessment of the disease. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

How this association arises remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to demonstrate that the decrease in insulin receptor (INSR) expression and insulin signaling in VAT from obese individuals is an early molecular manifestation that might play a crucial role in the cascade of events leading to systemic insulin resistance. + + METHODS: To clarify the role of INSR and insulin signaling in adipose tissue dysfunction in obesity, we first measured INSR expression in VAT samples from normal-weight subjects and patients with different degrees of obesity. We complemented these studies with experiments on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice, and in human and murine adipocyte cultures, in both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. + + FINDINGS: An inverse correlation was observed between increasing body mass index and decreasing INSR expression in VAT of obese humans. Our results indicate that VAT-specific downregulation of INSR is an early event in obesity-related adipose cell dysfunction, which increases systemic insulin resistance in both obese humans and mice. We also provide evidence that obesity-related hypoxia in VAT plays a determinant role in this scenario by decreasing INSR mRNA stability. This decreased stability is through the activation of a miRNA (miR-128) that downregulates INSR expression in adipocytes. + + INTERPRETATION: We present a novel pathogenic mechanism of reduced INSR expression and insulin signaling in adipocytes. Our data provide a new explanation linking obesity with systemic insulin resistance. + + FUNDING: This work was partly supported by a grant from Nutramed (PON 03PE000_78_1) and by the European Commission (FESR FSE 2014-2020 and Regione Calabria).

Similarly, obese individuals showed a 31% increase in lathosterol compared to lean controls. Lathosterol and lanosterol were positively correlated with body mass index, fasting insulin and glucose, serum triglycerides, and C-reactive protein, and negatively correlated with HDL-cholesterol. In contrast, campesterol and beta-sitosterol were not altered in individuals with T2DM. Moreover, campesterol and beta-sitosterol were negatively correlated with body mass index, fasting insulin, and C-reactive protein and were positively correlated with HDL-cholesterol. + + CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents and young adults with T2DM show evidence of increased cholesterol synthesis compared to non-diabetic lean controls. These findings suggest that T2DM may promote cardiovascular disease by increasing cholesterol synthesis, and provide additional rationale for the use of cholesterol synthesis inhibitors in this group.

Genome-wide association studies have identified several MC4R variants associated with adiposity; of these, rs17782313, which is associated with increased body mass index (BMI) and overeating behavior, is of particular interest. Another gene associated with increased adiposity in global genome-wide association studies is DNAJC27, a heat shock protein known to be elevated in obesity. The detailed mechanisms underlying the role of MC4R variants in the biological pathways underlying metabolic disorders are not well-understood. To address this, we assessed variations of rs17782313 in a cohort of 282 Arab individuals from Kuwait, who are deeply phenotyped for anthropometric and metabolic traits and various biomarkers, including DNAJC27. Association tests showed that the rs17782313_C allele was associated with BMI and DNAJC27 levels. Increased levels of DNAJC27 reduced the MC4R-mediated formation of cAMP in MC4R ACTOne stable cells. In conclusion, this study demonstrated an association between the rs17782313 variant near MC4R and increased BMI and DNAJC27 levels and established a link between increased DNAJC27 levels and lower cAMP levels. We propose that regulation of MC4R activity by DNAJC27 enhances appetite through its effect on cAMP, thereby regulating obesity.

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, Homeostatic model assessment method of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid profile, osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, adiponectin, leptin, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 were measured in all participants. + + RESULTS: Children with NAFLD had a significant decrease in osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin and adiponectin level with a significant increase in TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels. We also found a significant positive correlation between osteocalcin level and adiponectin levels but a significant negative correlation of osteocalcin with each of leptin and TNF-alpha. However, there was a significant negative correlation between osteoprotegerin levels and both TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels. Moreover, adiponectin and TNF-alpha were significant predictors for osteocalcin, and IL-6 was a significant predictor for osteoprotegerin. + + CONCLUSION: Adiponectin, leptin, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 have potential association with the changes of osteocalcin and osteoprotegerin levels in children with NAFLD.

The primary end point was a composite of intubation or death in time-to-event analysis. + + RESULTS: Over a median hospital length of stay of 7 days (interquartile range, 3 to 14 days), 533 patients (22%) were intubated, 627 (25%) died, and 59 (2%) remained hospitalized. Compared with overweight patients, patients with obesity had higher risk for intubation or death, with the highest risk among those with class 3 obesity (hazard ratio, 1.6 [95% CI, 1.1 to 2.1]). This association was primarily observed among patients younger than 65 years and not in older patients (P for interaction by age = 0.042). Body mass index was not associated with admission levels of biomarkers of inflammation, cardiac injury, or fibrinolysis. + + LIMITATIONS: Body mass index was missing for 28% of patients. The primary analyses were conducted with multiple imputation for missing BMI. Upper bounding factor analysis suggested that the results are robust to possible selection bias. + + CONCLUSION: Obesity is associated with increased risk for intubation or death from COVID-19 in adults younger than 65 years, but not in adults aged 65 years or older. + + PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE: National Institutes of Health. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fibrin Fibrinogen Degradation Products). 0 (Troponin). 0 (fibrin fragment D). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.7326%2fM20-3214 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Anderson&issn=0003-4819&title=Annals+of+Internal+Medicine&atitle=Body+Mass+Index+and+Risk+for+Intubation+or+Death+in+SARS-CoV-2+Infection+%3A+A+Retrospective+Cohort+Study.&volume=173&issue=10&spage=782&epage=790&date=2020&doi=10.7326%2FM20-3214&pmid=32726151&sid=OVID:medline + +<1238> +Unique Identifier + 32725941 +Title + Association of patient weight status with plasma surfactant protein D, a biomarker of alveolar epithelial injury, in children with acute respiratory failure. +Source + Pediatric Pulmonology. 55(10):2730-2736, 2020 10. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ward SL; Dahmer MK; Weeks HM; Sapru A; Quasney MW; Curley MAQ; Liu KD; Matthay MA; Flori HR +Author NameID + Ward, Shan L; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1375-6240 + Weeks, Heidi M; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3467-7987 +Authors Full Name + Ward, Shan L; Dahmer, Mary K; Weeks, Heidi M; Sapru, Anil; Quasney, Michael W; Curley, Martha A Q; Liu, Kathleen D; Matthay, Michael A; Flori, Heidi R. +Institution + Ward, Shan L.

Plasma surfactant protein D (SP-D), a biomarker of alveolar epithelial injury, is lower in obese adults with ARF compared to their lean peers. We aimed to determine if children with ARF have similar variance in plasma SP-D associated with their weight status on admission. + + METHODS: Plasma SP-D was measured on days 0, 1, or 2 in children (1-18 years) with ARF enrolled in the genetic variation and biomarkers in children with acute lung injury and RESTORE studies. Weight classification (underweight, normal, overweight, and obese) was based on body mass index or weight-for-height z-scores. Associations between weight group and SP-D on each day were tested. + + RESULTS: Inclusion criteria were met in 212 subjects, 24% were obese. There were no differences among weight groups in SP-D levels on days 0 and 1. However, on day 2, there was a statistically significant linear trend for lower SP-D levels as weight increased in both the univariate analysis (P = .02) and when adjusting for age, ethnicity, and diagnosis of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (P = .05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Obesity was associated with lower plasma SP-D levels on day 2 of ARF. This finding may be explained by altered ARF pathogenesis in obese individuals or a reduced incidence of ventilator-induced lung injury.

Pulmonary function tests were conducted in all case. Skin prick test and an asthma control test were conducted in patients with asthma. All patients and controls were compared in terms of ghrelin and obestatin levels, as well as the ghrelin/obestatin ratio. Plasma concentrations of ghrelin and obestatin were detected by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) scores were calculated as an index of insulin resistance. + + RESULT: No differences in ghrelin or obestatin levels or the ghrelin/obestatin ratio were detected between patients with asthma and the control group.

The EG group completed their fasting rituals for the entire month of Ramadan (30 days) whereas the CG group continued with their normal daily habits. Blood samples were collected 24 h before the start of Ramadan (T0), on the 15th day of Ramadan (T1), the day after the end of Ramadan (T2), and 21 days after the end of Ramadan (T3). Resting plasma volume variation between pre and post-RIF (DELTAPV) was calculated. + + RESULTS: Decreases were noted for interleukin-6 (p = 0.02, d = 1.4) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (p = 0.01, d = 0.7), with no changes for C-reactive protein (p = 0.3; d = 0.1) in the EG compared to CG group. There were no changes (P > 0.05) in DELTAPV recorded after RIF for either EG (-0.035 +/- 0.02%) and CG (0.055 +/- 0.06%). + + CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that RIF improves systemic inflammation biomarkers in males with obesity.

Expression proteomics combined with in silico interaction studies are used to uncover potential biomarkers and the pathways that promote obesity-related complications. These biomarkers can either aid in the development of personalized therapies or identify individuals at risk of developing obesity-related diseases. To determine the serum protein changes, Wistar rats were fed standard chow (low fat, LF), or chow formulated high fat (HF) diets (HF1, HF2 and HF3) for 8 and 42 weeks to induce obesity. Serum samples were collected from lean and obese rats at these time points. The serum samples were precipitated using trichloroacetic acid (TCA)/acetone and analyzed by 2-Dimensional SDS-PAGE. Serum protein profiles were examined using mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics and validated by western blotting. Protein-protein interactions among the selected proteins were studied in silico using bioinformatics tools. Several proteins showed differences in expression among the three HF diets when compared to the LF diet, and only proteins with >= twofold expression levels were considered differentially expressed. Apolipoprotein-AIV (APOA4), C-reactive protein (CRP), and alpha 2-HS glycoprotein (AHSG) showed differential expression at both 8 and 42 weeks, whereas alpha 1 macroglobulin (AMBP) was differentially expressed only at 8 weeks. Network analysis revealed some interactions among the proteins, an indication that these proteins might interactively play a crucial role in development of obesity-induced diseases. These data show the variation in the expression of serum proteins during acute and chronic exposure to high fat diet. Based on the expression and the in-silico interaction these proteins warrant further investigation for their role in obesity development. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Proteins). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1038%2fs41598-020-69198-2 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Gabuza&issn=2045-2322&title=Scientific+Reports&atitle=Differentially+expressed+serum+proteins+from+obese+Wistar+rats+as+a+risk+factor+for+obesity-induced+diseases.&volume=10&issue=1&spage=12415&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.1038%2Fs41598-020-69198-2&pmid=32709962&sid=OVID:medline + +<1242> +Unique Identifier + 32708435 +Title + Baseline HOMA IR and Circulating FGF21 Levels Predict NAFLD Improvement in Patients Undergoing a Low Carbohydrate Dietary Intervention for Weight Loss: A Prospective Observational Pilot Study. +Source + Nutrients. 12(7), 2020 Jul 18. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Watanabe M; Risi R; Camajani E; Contini S; Persichetti A; Tuccinardi D; Ernesti I; Mariani S; Lubrano C; Genco A; Spera G; Gnessi L; Basciani S +Author NameID + Mariani, Stefania; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1762-4701 +Authors Full Name + Watanabe, Mikiko; Risi, Renata; Camajani, Elisabetta; Contini, Savina; Persichetti, Agnese; Tuccinardi, Dario; Ernesti, Ilaria; Mariani, Stefania; Lubrano, Carla; Genco, Alfredo; Spera, Giovanni; Gnessi, Lucio; Basciani, Sabrina. +Institution + Watanabe, Mikiko.

Very low-calorie ketogenic diets (VLCKD) represent a feasible treatment as they induce profound weight loss and insulin resistance (IR) improvement. Despite the recognized benefits on NAFLD deriving from pharmacological administration of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), whose endogenous counterpart is a marker of liver injury, little is known about its physiology in humans. + + AIM: To identify predictors of NAFLD improvement as reflected by the reduction of the non-invasive screening tool hepatic steatosis index (HSI) in obese patients undergoing a weight loss program. + + METHODS: Sixty-five obese patients underwent a 90-day dietary program consisting of a VLCKD followed by a hypocaloric low carbohydrate diet (LCD). Anthropometric parameters, body composition, and blood and urine chemistry were assessed. + + RESULTS: Unlike most parameters improving mainly during the VLCKD, the deepest HSI change was observed after the LCD (p = 0.02 and p < 0.0001, respectively). Baseline HOMA-IR and serum FGF21 were found to be positive (R = 0.414, p = 0009) and negative (R = 0.364, p = 0.04) independent predictors of HSI reduction, respectively. + + CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that patients with IR and NAFLD derive greater benefit from a VLCKD, and we propose a possible role of human FGF21 in mediating NAFLD amelioration following nutritional manipulation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids, Omega-3). 0 (fibroblast growth factor 21). 62031-54-3 (Fibroblast Growth Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fnu12072141 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Watanabe&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Baseline+HOMA+IR+and+Circulating+FGF21+Levels+Predict+NAFLD+Improvement+in+Patients+Undergoing+a+Low+Carbohydrate+Dietary+Intervention+for+Weight+Loss%3A+A+Prospective+Observational+Pilot+Study.&volume=12&issue=7&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fnu12072141&pmid=32708435&sid=OVID:medline + +<1243> +Unique Identifier + 32707422 +Title + The up-regulation of markers of adipose tissue fibrosis by visfatin in pre-adipocytes as well as obese children and adolescents. +Source + Cytokine. 134:155193, 2020 10. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ezzati-Mobaser S; Malekpour-Dehkordi Z; Nourbakhsh M; Tavakoli-Yaraki M; Ahmadpour F; Golpour P; Nourbakhsh M +Authors Full Name + Ezzati-Mobaser, Samira; Malekpour-Dehkordi, Zahra; Nourbakhsh, Mona; Tavakoli-Yaraki, Masoumeh; Ahmadpour, Fatemeh; Golpour, Pegah; Nourbakhsh, Mitra. +Institution + Ezzati-Mobaser, Samira.

Aberrant ECM accumulation and remodeling leads to adipose tissue fibrosis. Visfatin is one of the adipocytokines that is increased in obesity and is implicated in insulin resistance. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of visfatin on major components of ECM remodeling. In this study, plasma levels of both endotrophin and visfatin in obese children and adolescents were significantly higher than those in control subjects and they showed a positive correlation with each other. Treatment of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes with visfatin caused significant up-regulation of Osteopontin (Opn), Collagen type VI (Col6), matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9. By using inhibitors of major signaling pathways it was shown that visfatin exerted its effect on Col6a3 gene expression through PI3K, JNK, and NF-kB pathways, while induced Opn gene expression via PI3K, JNK, MAPK/ERK, and NOTCH1. Our conclusion is that, the relationship between visfatin, endotrophin and insulin resistance parameters in obesity as well as increased expression of ECM proteins by visfatin suggests adipose tissue fibrosis as a mechanism for devastating effects of visfatin in obesity.

Controversies and challenges regarding the definition, diagnosis and treatment of SO still remain because of its complex pathogenesis and limitations. Over the past few decades, numerous studies have revealed that myokines secreted from skeletal muscle play significant roles in the regulation of muscle mass and function as well as metabolic homeostasis. Abnormalities in myokines may trigger and promote the pathogenesis underlying age-related and metabolic diseases, including obesity, sarcopenia, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and SO. This review mainly focuses on the role of myokines as potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis and therapeutic targets in SO. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

The evidence regarding the potential role of obesity in the aetiology of atopy and allergy is more conflicting. The adipokines leptin and adiponectin are inflammatory markers of fat metabolism which may be involved in explaining the increased risk of asthma and reduced lung function in obese children and adults. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to study how adiponectin and leptin were associated with lung function and atopic sensitisation in adolescents. The study included 384 children at mean age 12.9 years with measurements of adiponectin, leptin, lung function and atopic sensitisation. Adiponectin and leptin levels were measured in serum, lung function was measured by spirometry and atopic sensitisation was measured by serum specific Immunoglobulin E. In linear regression models, leptin was negatively associated with forced vital capacity (FVC) (Beta: -4.13; 95% Confidence Interval: -5.83, -2.44, P < 0.001) and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) (-3.74; -5.39, -2.09, P < 0.001) after adjusting for body mass index (BMI) and other covariates. No associations were observed between adiponectin and lung function or between leptin or adiponectin and atopic sensitisation. In this cross-sectional analysis of adolescents in all weight classes, leptin was negatively associated with FEV1 and FVC independent of BMI, but no associations were found between adiponectin and lung function. The results suggest that leptin may have a functional role in the airways of healthy children. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

The rise of obesity is fuelled by inadequate life style habits, as consumption of diets rich in fats and sugars which promote, additionally, the development of associated comorbidities. Obesity results from a neuroendocrine imbalance in the cerebral mechanisms controlling food intake and energy expenditure, including the hypothalamus and the reward and motivational centres. Specifically, high-fat diets are known to trigger an early inflammatory response in the hypothalamus that precedes weight gain, is time-dependent, and eventually extends to the remaining appetite regulating regions in the brain. Multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) methods are currently available to characterize different features of cerebral obesity, including diffusion weighted, T2 and volumetric imaging and 1H and 13C spectroscopic evaluations. In particular, consistent evidences have revealed increased water diffusivity and T2 values, decreased grey matter volumes, and altered metabolic profiles and fluxes, in the brain of animal models and in obese humans. This review provides an integrative interpretation of the physio-pathological processes associated with obesity development in the brain, and the MRI and MRS methods implemented to characterize them. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

According to some experimental and clinical studies, insulin resistance and excess body weight are associated with reduced serum level of Tau. Therefore, this study was aimed to evaluate Tau supplementation and a diet-induced weight-loss intervention on body composition and some biochemical indices of obese women. Participants were divided randomly into the intervention (standard weight-loss group + cap Tau 3 g/day for 8 weeks, n = 20) and control (standard weight-loss group + cap placebo for 8 weeks, n = 18) groups. To achieve weight loss, all participants received an individualized diet that included a 30% reduction in their total energy intake. Chi-square test was applied to compare categorical variables between two groups at baseline. Paired t test and independent-sample t test were also used to analyze the parametric continuous data within and between the two groups, respectively. Analysis of covariance was run for controlling the confounding variables. At the post-intervention, the mean changes of total cholesterol (p = 0.03), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.03), leptin (p = 0. 006), total adiponectin (p = 0.04), and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (p = 0.03) decreased significantly in Tau group compared with the control group. No significant results were found in the mean changes of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, anthropometric measurements, glycemic indices, and liver enzymes between the two groups (p > 0.05). The findings showed that Tau supplementation along with a weight-loss diet may be more effective in improving the lipid profile and metabolic risk factors compared with a weight-loss diet alone. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). 0 (Leptin). 1EQV5MLY3D (Taurine). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Novel anthropometric indices are promising surrogate markers to detect prediabetes compared to the traditional anthropometric indices that only reflect gross obesity. Thus, the authors aim to analyse the potential of three novel lipid combined anthropometric indices in predicting prediabetes in the Asian Indian population. + + METHODS: We conducted an age and gender-matched case-control study to identify the predictors of prediabetes. Prediabetes was diagnosed as per the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines 2010. The traditional anthropometric measurements including waist circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR) and body mass index (BMI) were executed using standardised methods. Fasting lipid profile was obtained and using standardised formulas, the novel lipid combined anthropometric indices such as lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI) and triglyceride glucose index (TyG index) were derived. TyG related indices such as triglyceride glucose-waist circumference (TyG-WC) and triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) were also calculated. + + RESULTS: The novel lipid combined anthropometric indices LAP, VAI, TyG index, TyG-WC and TyG-BMI were significantly higher in subjects with prediabetes of both the genders (p < 0.05). During receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve evaluation, TyG index (AUC = 0.802) was the superior predictive measure in males, while in females, TyG-WC (AUC = 0.767) was the best among all the markers. + + CONCLUSION: TyG index and TyG-WC seem to be a superior indicator of prediabetes in the Asian Indian population in comparison with other anthropometric indices to screen prediabetes.

The enzyme Sec lyase (SCLY) decomposes Sec into selenide allowing for the recycling of the selenium (Se) atom via the selenoprotein synthesis machinery. We previously demonstrated that disruption of the Scly gene (Scly KO) in mice leads to the development of obesity and metabolic syndrome, with effects on glucose homeostasis, worsened by Se deficiency or a high-fat diet, and exacerbated in male mice. Our objective was to determine whether Se supplementation could ameliorate obesity and restore glucose homeostasis in the Scly KO mice. + + METHODS: Three-weeks old male and female Scly KO mice were fed in separate experiments a diet containing 45 % kcal fat and either sodium selenite or a mixture of sodium selenite and selenomethionine (selenite/SeMet) at moderate (0.25ppm) or high (0.5-1ppm) levels for 9 weeks, and assessed for metabolic parameters, oxidative stress and expression of selenoproteins. + + RESULTS: Se supplementation was unable to prevent obesity and elevated epididymal white adipose tissue weights in male Scly KO mice. Serum glutathione peroxidase activity in Scly KO mice was unchanged regardless of sex or dietary Se intake; however, supplementation with a mixture of selenite/SeMet improved oxidative stress biomarkers in the male Scly KO mice. + + CONCLUSION: These results unveil sex- and selenocompound-specific regulation of energy metabolism after the loss of Scly, pointing to a role of this enzyme in the control of whole-body energy metabolism regardless of Se levels.

Predicting the outcome of weight loss or weight management programs is a challenging yet important aspect of such a program's success. The characterization of potential biomarkers of metabolic disorders, such as lysophospholipids and bile acids, in large human clinical cohorts could provide a useful tool for successful predictions. In this study, we validated an LC-MS method combining the targeted and untargeted detection of these lipid species. Its potential for biomarker discovery was demonstrated in a well-characterized overweight/obese cohort subjected to a low-caloric diet intervention, followed by a weight maintenance phase. Relevant markers predicting successful responses to the low-caloric diet intervention for both weight loss and glycemic control improvements were identified. The response to a controlled weight loss intervention could be best predicted using the baseline concentration of three lysophospholipids (PC(22:4/0:0), PE(17:1/0:0), and PC(22:5/0:0)). Insulin resistance on the other hand could be best predicted using clinical parameters and levels of circulating lysophospholipids and bile acids. Our approach provides a robust tool not only for research purposes, but also for clinical practice, as well as designing new clinical interventions or assessing responses to specific treatment. Considering this, it presents a step toward personalized medicine. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Bile Acids and Salts). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lysophospholipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fbiom10071049 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Christinat&issn=2218-273X&title=Biomolecules&atitle=Untargeted+Profiling+of+Bile+Acids+and+Lysophospholipids+Identifies+the+Lipid+Signature+Associated+with+Glycemic+Outcome+in+an+Obese+Non-Diabetic+Clinical+Cohort.&volume=10&issue=7&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fbiom10071049&pmid=32679761&sid=OVID:medline + +<1252> +Unique Identifier + 32678995 +Title + Hemoglobin A1c and Early Gestational Diabetes. +Source + Journal of Women's Health. 29(12):1559-1563, 2020 12. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Battarbee AN; Grant JH; Vladutiu CJ; Menard MK; Clark M; Manuck TA; Venkatesh KK; Boggess KA +Authors Full Name + Battarbee, Ashley N; Grant, Jacqueline H; Vladutiu, Catherine J; Menard, M Kathryn; Clark, Michael; Manuck, Tracy A; Venkatesh, Kartik K; Boggess, Kim A. +Institution + Battarbee, Ashley N.

Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) as a diagnostic test for early GDM compared with two-step testing. Materials and Methods: Retrospective cohort of women with prior GDM or obesity who had HbA1c and two-step testing <21 weeks' gestation. Early GDM was diagnosed by 1 hour, 50 g oral glucose challenge test (GCT) >=135 mg/dL and >=2 abnormal values on 3 hour, 100 g oral glucose tolerance test or GCT >200 mg/dL. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) evaluated HbA1c for diagnosis of early GDM. Results: Of 243 women, 14 (5.8%) had early GDM by two-step testing. Median HbA1c levels were higher among women with GDM versus those without GDM (5.8% vs. 5.3%, p < 0.001). The AUC for HbA1c compared with two-step testing was 0.80 (95% CI 0.69-0.91). The optimal HbA1c threshold was 5.6% (64% sensitivity, 84% specificity). Conclusions: HbA1c is moderately predictive of early GDM compared with two-step testing, and a threshold lower than that used for diabetes diagnosis among nonpregnant adults is justified. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1089%2fjwh.2019.8203 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Battarbee&issn=1540-9996&title=Journal+of+Women%27s+Health&atitle=Hemoglobin+A1c+and+Early+Gestational+Diabetes.&volume=29&issue=12&spage=1559&epage=1563&date=2020&doi=10.1089%2Fjwh.2019.8203&pmid=32678995&sid=OVID:medline + +<1253> +Unique Identifier + 32666604 +Title + Liver CPT1A gene therapy reduces diet-induced hepatic steatosis in mice and highlights potential lipid biomarkers for human NAFLD. +Source + FASEB Journal. 34(9):11816-11837, 2020 09. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Weber M; Mera P; Casas J; Salvador J; Rodriguez A; Alonso S; Sebastian D; Soler-Vazquez MC; Montironi C; Recalde S; Fucho R; Calderon-Dominguez M; Mir JF; Bartrons R; Escola-Gil JC; Sanchez-Infantes D; Zorzano A; Llorente-Cortes V; Casals N; Valenti V; Fruhbeck G; Herrero L; Serra D +Authors Full Name + Weber, Mineia; Mera, Paula; Casas, Josefina; Salvador, Javier; Rodriguez, Amaia; Alonso, Sergio; Sebastian, David; Soler-Vazquez, M Carmen; Montironi, Carla; Recalde, Sandra; Fucho, Raquel; Calderon-Dominguez, Maria; Mir, Joan Francesc; Bartrons, Ramon; Escola-Gil, Joan Carles; Sanchez-Infantes, David; Zorzano, Antonio; Llorente-Cortes, Vicenta; Casals, Nuria; Valenti, Victor; Fruhbeck, Gema; Herrero, Laura; Serra, Dolors. +Institution + Weber, Mineia.

Here, we aimed to revert high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and NAFLD in mice by enhancing liver fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Moreover, we searched for potential new lipid biomarkers for monitoring liver steatosis in humans. We used adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver a permanently active mutant form of human carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (hCPT1AM), the key enzyme in FAO, in the liver of a mouse model of HFD-induced obesity and NAFLD. Expression of hCPT1AM enhanced hepatic FAO and autophagy, reduced liver steatosis, and improved glucose homeostasis. Lipidomic analysis in mice and humans before and after therapeutic interventions, such as hepatic AAV9-hCPT1AM administration and RYGB surgery, respectively, led to the identification of specific triacylglyceride (TAG) specie (C50:1) as a potential biomarker to monitor NAFFLD disease. To sum up, here we show for the first time that liver hCPT1AM gene therapy in a mouse model of established obesity, diabetes, and NAFLD can reduce HFD-induced derangements. Moreover, our study highlights TAG (C50:1) as a potential noninvasive biomarker that might be useful to monitor NAFLD in mice and humans. Copyright © 2020 The Authors.

Recently, it was reported that circulating DMGV levels correlated positively with consumption of sugary beverages and negatively with intake of fruits and vegetables in three Swedish community-based cohorts. Here, we validate these results in the Framingham Heart Study Third Generation Cohort. Furthermore, in mice, diets rich in sucrose or fat significantly increased plasma DMGV concentrations. DMGV is the product of metabolism of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) by the hepatic enzyme AGXT2. ADMA can also be metabolized to citrulline by the cytoplasmic enzyme DDAH1. We report that a high-sucrose diet induced conversion of ADMA exclusively into DMGV (supporting the relationship with sugary beverage intake in humans), while a high-fat diet promoted conversion of ADMA to both DMGV and citrulline. On the contrary, replacing dietary native starch with high-fiber-resistant starch increased ADMA concentrations and induced its conversion to citrulline, without altering DMGV concentrations. In a cohort of obese nondiabetic adults, circulating DMGV concentrations increased and ADMA levels decreased in those with either liver or muscle insulin resistance. This was similar to changes in DMGV and ADMA concentrations found in mice fed a high-sucrose diet. Sucrose is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. Compared with glucose, incubation of hepatocytes with fructose significantly increased DMGV production. Overall, we provide a comprehensive picture of the dietary determinants of DMGV levels and association with insulin resistance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Fats). 0 (Guanidines). 0 (Valerates). 0 (dimethylguanidino valerate). 29VT07BGDA (Citrulline). 57-50-1 (Sucrose).

We hypothesized that baseline skin carotenoids would be inversely associated with adiposity in breast cancer survivors and would increase with weight loss. Skin carotenoid score (SCS) was assessed by resonance Raman spectroscopy in breast cancer survivors (body mass index >=25kg/m2) enrolled in a 6-month randomized controlled weight loss trial (n=47). Measurements included total body fat using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, height, weight, waist and hip circumference, dietary intake, and serum biomarkers. Associations between SCS, adiposity measures, and serum biomarkers were assessed at baseline, as was the change in SCS from baseline to 6months, in the intervention and usual care groups. At baseline, SCS was inversely correlated with all adiposity measures (P<=.05). In multivariate analyses, baseline percent body fat had the strongest association with baseline SCS (partial R2=0.20). Baseline SCS was significantly inversely associated with log C-reactive protein levels (regression coefficient beta+/-SE: -0.051+/-0.019; P=.011) and log leptin (beta+/-SE: -0.019+/-0.009; P=.046), but the associations were no longer significant after adjustment for adiposity. Over the 6-month study, the intervention group had a 17.6% increase in SCS compared to a 1.5% decrease in the usual care group (P=.28). In our study of overweight and obese breast cancer survivors, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry-measured body fat explained a large portion of the variation in skin carotenoids at baseline, suggesting a stronger association than that previously seen in studies using less accurate measures of adiposity.

Patients were categorized into 3 groups: inactive (0 minutes per week), underactive (1-149 minutes per week), and active (>150 minutes per week). Associations were tested between the PAVS and the cardiometabolic disease biomarkers of body mass index, hemoglobin A1c (A1c), blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) using one-way analyses of variance. + + SETTING: High-risk family medicine residency clinic. + + PARTICIPANTS: Two thousand three hundred twenty-one adult patients (age >= 18 years). + + RESULTS: Participants reported a mean of 97.87 (SD = 149.35) minutes per week of exercise. Overall, 50.1% reported physical inactivity, 25.7% were underactive, and 24.3% were active. Younger individuals (P < 0.001) and men (P < 0.05) reported more physical activity than older individuals and women. Patients who reported being active were significantly less likely to be overweight (P < 0.05), obese (P < 0.05), or hypertensive (P < 0.05), but there was no association with A1c or LDL levels. + + CONCLUSIONS: This is the first investigation to examine the PAVS in a high-risk population. In these patients, reported levels of physical inactivity are 150% higher than other clinical settings, and the PAVS is only associated with improvements in 2 of 4 major cardiometabolic risk factors. For this group, self-reported levels of physical activity may need to be higher for cardiovascular benefits to be realized in all 4 cardiometabolic domains. The PAVS offers health professionals an opportunity to encourage lifestyle-based interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk, but refinements may be necessary to address this population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1097%2fJSM.0000000000000588 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Nelson&issn=1050-642X&title=Clinical+Journal+of+Sport+Medicine&atitle=Association+Between+a+Physical+Activity+Vital+Sign+and+Cardiometabolic+Disease+in+High-Risk+Patients.&volume=30&issue=4&spage=348&epage=352&date=2020&doi=10.1097%2FJSM.0000000000000588&pmid=32639442&sid=OVID:medline + +<1258> +Unique Identifier + 32636120 +Title + The contribution of physical inactivity and socioeconomic factors to type 2 diabetes in Nepal: A structural equation modelling analysis. +Source + Nutrition Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases. 30(10):1758-1767, 2020 09 24. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Paudel S; Tran T; Owen AJ; Smith BJ +Authors Full Name + Paudel, Susan; Tran, Thach; Owen, Alice J; Smith, Ben J. +Institution + Paudel, Susan.

Behavioural, social and economic changes are likely to play a part in the rise of this chronic disease, as they are in many developing countries. A better understanding of the relationship between physical activity (PA), socioeconomic factors and T2DM can inform the design of prevention programs. This study aimed to identify the path relationships between PA, socioeconomic position, anthropometric and metabolic variables and T2DM. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: This study analysed data from 1977 Nepalese adults aged 40-69 years from the cross-sectional WHO STEPS survey undertaken in 2013. The latent variable "PA" was created using the information on domains of PA while the latent variable "socioeconomic position" was created using the variables education, occupation and ethnicity. Participants ' fasting blood glucose was used to determine their diabetes status. Structural equation modelling was conducted, and correlations and adjusted regression coefficients are reported. Individuals with higher education, in paid employment and from advantaged ethnic groups were more likely to have T2DM. Waist circumference, triglycerides and hypertension were found to have a statistically significant positive direct effect on T2DM. PA had indirect effects on T2DM, mediated by waist circumference. The indirect effects of socioeconomic position on T2DM were mediated by body mass index, waist circumference, triglycerides and total cholesterol. + + CONCLUSION: Among Nepalese adults, higher socioeconomic position had a significant direct effect on T2DM, while both PA and higher socioeconomic position had significant indirect effects. Policies and programs to address T2DM in Nepal should address the factors contributing to unhealthy weight status, particularly among those of higher socioeconomic status.

Several serum biomarkers and some anthropometric factors can affect the resting heart rate. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of resting heart rate in a large random sample of the Iranian population. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: It is a standardized, retrospective study and the subjects were chosen from the baseline survey of the Prospective Epidemiological Research Study in IrAN (PERSIAN) Fasa non-communicable disease cohort study. It was conducted from winter 2014 to summer 2019 and after obtaining informed consent from a random sample, all the eligible subjects were enrolled. All anthropometric factors and biologic laboratory factors were collected and analyzed by implement smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) linear regression and SCAD quantile regression. The comparisons between males and females were done via independent T-test. + + RESULTS & CONCLUSION: A total number of 9975 persons from 35 to 90 years old were included. The overall median resting heart rate was 74 (interquartile range:66-80). Mean age has no important difference between males and females (P = 0.79) but, resting heart rate was significantly higher in females (76.6 versus 71.4, P < 0.001). All anthropometric factors except wrist circumference were higher in females (P < 0.05). Age has an adverse effect on resting heart rate and also, there was a direct association between resting heart rate and systolic blood pressure and blood glucose. Alpha-blockers (coefficient = 5.2) and Beta1-blockers (coefficient = - 2.2) were the most effective drugs with positive and negative effects on resting heart rate respectively. Lower hemoglobin, obesity, and more body mass index, and more low-density lipoprotein were associated with more resting heart rate. Continuing the monitoring of this sample via our cohort study and put to action multinational prospective researches with large sample sizes and long follow-ups can lead to more precise results and better scientific judgments. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Lipoproteins, LDL). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Therefore, this study aimed to analyze individual associations between these three OSAS characteristics and three cardiovascular biomarkers and to determine whether the relationship was affected by other features in patients with suspected OSAS. For all participants (n = 100), OSAS severity and sex had an interaction effect on IL-6 level (p = 0.030). Specifically, the male patients (p = 0.005) with severe OSAS had higher IL-6 levels than those with normal to moderate OSAS, but this relationship was not significant in the female patients (p = 0.438). Moreover, in patients with normal to moderate OSAS (p = 0.004), but not in those with severe OSAS (p = 0.824), the female patients had higher IL-6 levels than the male patients. Both CRP (p = 0.001) and IL-6 (p = 0.000) levels were higher in the obese group than in the non-obese group independently of OSAS severity and sex. The three features had no effects on TNF-alpha level individually and interactively. Our findings suggest that circulatory inflammatory markers should be comprehensively evaluated in this population and that treatment and preventive therapies should be modified accordingly. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.3390%2fijerph17134701 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Wu&issn=1660-4601&title=International+Journal+of+Environmental+Research+%26+Public+Health+%5BElectronic+Resource%5D&atitle=Interactions+among+Obstructive+Sleep+Apnea+Syndrome+Severity%2C+Sex%2C+and+Obesity+on+Circulatory+Inflammatory+Biomarkers+in+Patients+with+Suspected+Obstructive+Sleep+Apnea+Syndrome%3A+A+Retrospective%2C+Cross-Sectional+Study.&volume=17&issue=13&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fijerph17134701&pmid=32629899&sid=OVID:medline + +<1261> +Unique Identifier + 32629236 +Title + Evaluation of cyclooxygenase oxylipins as potential biomarker for obesity-associated adipose tissue inflammation and type 2 diabetes using targeted multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry. +Source + Prostaglandins Leukotrienes & Essential Fatty Acids. 160:102157, 2020 09. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Tans R; Bande R; van Rooij A; Molloy BJ; Stienstra R; Tack CJ; Wevers RA; Wessels HJCT; Gloerich J; van Gool AJ +Authors Full Name + Tans, Roel; Bande, Rieke; van Rooij, Arno; Molloy, Billy J; Stienstra, Rinke; Tack, Cees J; Wevers, Ron A; Wessels, Hans J C T; Gloerich, Jolein; van Gool, Alain J. +Institution + Tans, Roel.

Oxylipins are a collection of lipid metabolites, subdivided in different classes, which are involved in inflammatory cascades. They play important roles in regulating adipose tissue homeostasis and inflammation and are therefore putative biomarkers for obesity-associated adipose tissue inflammation and the subsequent risk of type 2 diabetes onset. The objective for this study is to design an assay for a specific oxylipin class and evaluate these as potential prognostic biomarker for obesity-associated adipose tissue inflammation and type 2 diabetes. + + METHODS: An optimized workflow was developed to extract oxylipins from plasma using solid-phase extraction followed by analysis using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in multiple reaction monitoring mode. This workflow was applied to clinical plasma samples obtained from obese-type 2 diabetes patients and from lean and obese control subjects. + + RESULTS: The assay was analytically validated and enabled reproducible analyses of oxylipins extracted from plasma with acceptable sensitivities. Analysis of clinical samples revealed discriminative values for four oxylipins between the type 2 diabetes patients and the lean and obese control subjects, viz. PGF2alpha, PGE2, 15-keto-PGE2 and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE2. The combination of PGF2alpha and 15-keto-PGE2 had the most predictive value to discriminate type 2 diabetic patients from lean and obese controls. + + CONCLUSIONS: This proof-of-principle study demonstrates the potential value of oxylipins as biomarkers to discriminate obese individuals from obese-type 2 diabetes patients.

Independently of other fat compounds, liver fat content, visceral adipose tissue, and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) were inversely associated with adiponectin. Independent positive associations of liver fat content and SAT with chemerin as well as of SAT with galectin-3 and leptin were observed. Physically inactive participants had higher chemerin and leptin concentrations. Smokers had higher chemerin and galectin-3 as well as lower leptin. Alcohol consumption was associated with adiponectin (positive) and resistin (inverse). All adipokines were associated with at least one lipid marker. Associations with glucose metabolism were seen for adiponectin, chemerin, galectin-3, and leptin. + + CONCLUSIONS: High adiponectin concentrations were related to favorable metabolic conditions, whereas high chemerin, galectin-3, and leptin were associated with an unfavorable metabolic profile. High leptin seems to be primarily indicative of obesity, whereas high adiponectin and chemerin are associated with a broader range of metabolic phenotypes. Copyright © 2020 The Authors.

We hypothesized that habitual soy food consumption associates with gut microbiome composition, metabolite production, and the interaction between diet, microbiota and metabolites. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: We analyzed dietary soy intake, plasma and stool metabolites, and gut microbiome data from two independent cross-sectional samples of healthy US individuals (N = 75 lean or overweight, and N = 29 obese). Habitual soy intake associated with several circulating metabolites. There was a significant interaction between soy intake and gut microbiome composition, as defined by gut enterotype, on metabolites in plasma and stool. Soy consumption associated with reduced systolic blood pressure, but only in a subset of individuals defined by their gut microbiome enterotype, suggesting that responsiveness to soy may be dependent on microbiome composition. Soy intake was associated with differences in specific microbial taxa, including two taxa mapping to genus Dialister and Prevotella which appeared to be suppressed by high soy intake We identified context-dependent effects of these taxa, where presence of Prevotella was associated with higher blood pressure and a worse cardiometabolic profile, but only in the absence of Dialister. + + CONCLUSIONS: The gut microbiome is an important intermediate in the interplay between dietary soy intake and systemic metabolism. Consumption of soy foods may shape the microbiome by suppressing specific taxa, and may protect against hypertension only in individuals with soy-responsive microbiota. + + CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRY: NCT02010359 at clinicaltrials.gov.

Of note, circulating cystatin C (CysC) levels were increased in UniNx compared with sham-operated mice. Importantly, CysC may have anti-inflammatory properties, and circulating CysC levels were reported to positively correlate with obesity in humans and as shown here in HFD-fed mice. However, the causal relationship of such observation remains unclear. HFD feeding of CysC-deficient (CysC knockout [KO]) mice worsened obesity-associated adipose tissue inflammation and dysfunction, as assessed by proinflammatory macrophage accumulation. In addition, mRNA expression of proinflammatory mediators was increased, whereas markers of adipocyte differentiation were decreased. Similar to findings in adipose tissue, expression of proinflammatory cytokines was increased in liver and skeletal muscle of CysC KO mice. In line, HFD-induced hepatic insulin resistance and impairment of glucose tolerance were further aggravated in KO mice. Consistently, chow-fed CysC KO mice were more susceptible to lipopolysaccharide-induced adipose tissue inflammation. In people with obesity, circulating CysC levels correlated negatively with adipose tissue Hif1alpha as well as IL6 mRNA expression. Moreover, healthy (i.e., insulin-sensitive) subjects with obesity had significantly higher mRNA expression of CysC in white adipose tissue. In conclusion, CysC is upregulated under obesity conditions and thereby counteracts inflammation of peripheral insulin-sensitive tissues and, thus, obesity-associated deterioration of glucose metabolism.

The study aimed to compare cardiometabolic index (CMI), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), lipid accumulation product (LAP) and novel anthropometric indices in metabolic and non-metabolically obese individual with regard to the role of FTO gene in Iranian adults. + + METHODS: In total, 165 individuals were recruited into this cross-sectional study. Individuals grouped into four groups: metabolic healthy normal-weight (MHNW) individuals, metabolically unhealthy normal-weight (MUNW) individuals, metabolically healthy obese (MHO) individuals and metabolic unhealthy obese (MUO) individuals. The dietary intake was evaluated by food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The cardiovascular indices (CMI, AIP and LAP) were calculated. A variety of anthropometric indices were calculated, including body adiposity Index (BAI), weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI), A body shape index (ABSI) and waist-height ratio (WHR). The genotypes of FTO-rs9939609 subjects were detected by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). + + RESULTS: The individuals with metabolically unhealthy phenotypes (MUO, MUNW) have higher levels of triglyceride and cardiovascular indices (AIP, LAP and CMI) than the individuals with metabolic healthy phenotypes (MHO, MHNW). With a similar degree of obesity, the anthropometric indices (BAI, WWI and WHR) levels were higher in metabolic unhealthy groups than metabolically healthy groups. The highest frequency of obesity-risk allele AA of FTO gene was observed in MUO, MHO, MUNW and MHNW, respectively. + + CONCLUSION: Normal-weight individuals with metabolic unhealthy status are at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases than obese individuals with metabolically healthy status. The genotype frequencies of obesity-risk allele AA of FTO gene were higher in obesity phenotypes than metabolic phenotypes.

However, there are several case reports of rhabdomyolysis after WB-EMS application. Thus, we asked if this training could potentially lead to deteriorations of the cardiac as well as the renal function. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred sarcopenic obese men aged 70 years and older were randomly balanced (1-1-1) and allocated to one of the three study arms. During 16 weeks of intervention, these groups either performed WB-EMS and took a protein supplement (WB-EMS&P), solely received the protein supplement (Protein) or served as control group (CG). WB-EMS consisted of 1.5x20 min (85 Hz, 350 mus, 4 s of strain to 4 s of rest) applied with moderate-to-high intensity while moving. We further generated a daily protein intake of 1.7-1.8 g/kg/body mass per day. At baseline and 8-10 days after completion of the intervention, blood was drawn and biomarkers of muscle, cardiac and renal health were assessed. + + RESULTS: Hereby, we found slight but significant elevations of creatine kinase (CK) levels in the WB-EMS group pointing to minor damages of the skeletal muscle (140 U/l [81-210], p < 0.001). This was accompanied by a significant, low-grade increase of creatine kinase-muscle brain (CK-MB, 0.43 ng/mL [-0.29-0.96], p < 0.01) and high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT, 0.001 ng/mL. [0.000-0.003], p < 0.001) but without a higher risk of developing heart failure according to N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP, -5.7 pg/mL [-38.8-24.6], p = 0.17). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was impaired neither by the high-protein supplementation alone nor in combination with WB-EMS (CG 76.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 [71.9-82.2] vs Protein 73.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 [63.0-78.9] vs WB-EMS&P 74.6 mL/min/1.73 m2 [62.8-84.1], p = 0.478). + + CONCLUSION: In conclusion, even in the vulnerable group of sarcopenic obese seniors, the combination of WB-EMS with a high-protein intake revealed no short-term, negative impact on the eGFR, but potential consequences for the cardiovascular system need to be addressed in future studies.

The risks of developing other key metabolic disorders like diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are increased by obesity, causing a great public health concern. A series of epidemiological studies and animal models have demonstrated a relationship between the importance of vitamin B12 (B12) and various components of metabolic syndrome. High prevalence of low B12 levels has been shown in European (27%) and South Indian (32%) patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). A longitudinal prospective study in pregnant women has shown that low B12 status could independently predict the development of T2D five years after delivery. Likewise, children born to mothers with low B12 levels may have excess fat accumulation which in turn can result in higher insulin resistance and risk of T2D and/or CVD in adulthood. However, the independent role of B12 on lipid metabolism, a key risk factor for cardiometabolic disorders, has not been explored to a larger extent. In this review, we provide evidence from pre-clinical and clinical studies on the role of low B12 status on lipid metabolism and insights on the possible epigenetic mechanisms including DNA methylation, micro-RNA and histone modifications. Although, there are only a few association studies of B12 on epigenetic mechanisms, novel approaches to understand the functional changes caused by these epigenetic markers are warranted. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Histones). 0 (MicroRNAs).

The present study investigated the effects of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) on circulating levels of spexin and its modulation by physical exercise. Normal-weight (n = 50) and obese adults with and without T2D (n = 69 and n = 66, respectively) were enrolled in the study. A subgroup of obese participants (n = 47) underwent a supervised 3-month exercise programme. Plasma spexin levels were measured by ELISA and correlated with various markers. Plasma spexin levels decreased in obese participants with or without T2D compared with those of normal-weight participants (0.43 +/- 0.11, 0.44 +/- 0.12 and 0.61 +/- 0.23 ng/ml, respectively; P < 0.001). Spexin levels negatively correlated with adiposity markers and blood pressure in the whole study population (P < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis revealed blood pressure was the greatest predictive determinant of plasma spexin levels, which significantly increased in response to physical exercise in obese participants without and with T2D (P < 0.05). Spexin levels significantly increased only in responders to exercise (those with increased oxygen consumption, VO2 max) with a concomitant improvement in metabolic profile. In conclusion, plasma spexin levels may be an indicator of response to physical exercise. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Hormones). 0 (SPX protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This joint position statement is based on the evidence on the management of metabolic alterations in KT recipients (KTRs) published after the release of the 2009 KDIGO clinical practice guideline for the care of KTRs. Members of the Italian Society of Nephrology (SIN), the Italian Society for Organ Transplantation (SITO) and the Italian Diabetes Society (SID) selected to represent professionals involved in the management of KTRs undertook a systematic review of the published evidence for the management of PTDM, dyslipidaemias and obesity in this setting. The aim of this work is to provide an updated review of the evidence on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of metabolic alterations in KTRs, in order to support physicians, patients and the Healthcare System in the decision-making process when choosing among the various available options.

According to various studies, the prevalence of obesity in patients with COPD is as high as 50%. + + AIM: To evaluate pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine profile, lung diseases biomarkers levels and adipokines levels in patients with COPD and obesity. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 88 patients with COPD (GOLD 24, group D). Patients were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 44 patients with COPD and normal body weight: 35 men and 9 women. The second group 44 patients with obesity and COPD: 34 men and 10 women. The levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were determined interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-10 (IL-10), as well as the concentration of highly sensitive C-reactive protein (CRP), surfactant protein D, elastase, leptin, adiponectin, 1-antitrypsin, receptors of tumor necrosis factor 1 and 2 (TNF-R1, TNF-R2). + + RESULTS: In patients with COPD and obesity, compared with patients with COPD and normal body weight, the levels of CRP, interferon-, TNF-, TNF-R1, TNF-R2 were significantly higher. At the same time, the levels of IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 did not differ significantly. The level of leptin in patients with COPD and obesity was significantly higher than in patients with COPD and normal body weight. + + CONCLUSION: In patients with COPD and obesity, in contrast to patients with COPD with normal body weight, the severity of systemic inflammation is significantly higher. However, further research is needed in this area. +Other Abstract + Publisher + XpoH ecka o cTpykT BHa o e3Hb e k x (XOB ) B eTc Ba Ho po eMo 3 paBooxpaHeH .

The aim of the study was to assess the concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-8 (IL-8)) and other selected proteins as well as enzymes (soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM1), calprotectin, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), toll like receptor 2 (TLR2)) detectable in the saliva of women who varied in body composition. It was debated whether there are marker factors in saliva that could indicate metabolic obesity. + + METHODS AND FINDINGS: The pilot study included 10 women with obesity (BMI>30 kg/m2) and 6 women with normal body weight (control group). The levels of TNF-alpha, IL-8, sICAM1, calprotectin, MMP-9, MMP-2, and TLR2 were checked by using the ELISA technique. We proved that women with metabolic obesity had significantly increased concentrations of IL-8, calprotectin, and MMP-2 in comparison with healthy subjects. Significant positive correlations of BMI with TNF-alpha, IL-8, and MMP-2 were observed. Similarly, the content of fat (in kg and %) in the bodies of the women correlated positively with TNF-alpha, IL-8, and MMP-2. Whereas, the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) correlated positively only with TNF-alpha and MMP-2, similarly to VAT/SAT. The WHR (waist hip ratio) was also positively correlated with TNF-alpha and MMP-2. Interestingly, we found that the level of insulin positively correlated with TNF- alpha concentration, which additionally confirmed metabolic obesity. + + CONCLUSIONS: We found that positive correlations of body mass index were observed only with salivary concentrations of TNF-alpha, MMP-2, and IL-8. Thus, it is worth conducting a study among a larger number of people taking into account these three salivary components. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Salivary Proteins and Peptides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Twenty-nine overweight and obese adults with chronic inflammation (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) > 1.0 mg/l) replaced four daily servings of refined grain food products with bran-enriched purple or regular whole-wheat convenience bars (approximately 41-45 g fibre, daily) for 8 weeks in a randomised, single-blind parallel-arm study where body weight was maintained. Anthropometrics, blood markers of inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipaemia and metabolites of anthocyanins and phenolic acids were compared at days 1, 29 and 57 using repeated-measures ANOVA within groups and ANCOVA between groups at day 57, with day 1 as a covariate. A significant reduction in IL-6 and increase in adiponectin were observed within the purple wheat (PW) group. TNF-alpha was lowered in both groups and ferulic acid concentration increased in the regular wheat (RW) group. Comparing between wheats, only plasma TNF-alpha and glucose differed significantly (P < 0.05), that is, TNF-alpha and glucose decreased with RW and PW, respectively. Consumption of PW or RW products showed potential to improve plasma markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in participants with evidence of chronic inflammation, with modest differences observed based on type of wheat. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This review highlights the recent developments in "omics"-based research aimed to identify obesity-related biomarkers. + + RECENT FINDINGS: Recent advances in obesity and metabolism research increasingly rely on new technologies to identify mechanisms in the development of obesity using various "omics" platforms. Genetic and epigenetic biomarkers that translate into changes in transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome could serve as targets for obesity prevention. Despite a number of promising candidate biomarkers, there is an increased demand for larger prospective cohort studies to validate findings and determine biomarker reproducibility before they can find applications in primary care and public health. "Omics" biomarkers have advanced our knowledge on the etiology of obesity and its links with chronic diseases. They bring substantial promise in identifying effective public health strategies that pave the way towards patient stratification and precision prevention. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Moreover, there was a significant negative decrease of MCV (1.546 femtoliters) linked to BMI indirectly via high CRP levels. Furthermore, WC affected RDW, indicating a possible mediatory role for RDW in relation to the relationship between WC and homeostatic model assessment (HOMA), insulin and high density lipoprotein (HDL), respectively. This was evident by the elevated HOMA and insulin levels and the decreased levels of HDL. Finally, ROS-related markers did not affect directly RDW and MCV. + + CONCLUSION: The reported outcomes suggest that RDW might play a mediatory role in the relationship between WC and the dysmetabolic outcomes in overweight and obese individuals. CRP seems to modulate the linkage between BMI and MCV. This study provides the backbone structure for future scenarios and lays the foundation for further research on the role of RDW and MCV as suitable biomarkers for the assessment of cardiovascular disease (HDL-cholesterol), inflammatory bowels and insulin resistance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1186%2fs12944-020-01308-5 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Rondanelli&issn=1476-511X&title=Lipids+in+Health+%26+Disease&atitle=A+structural+equation+model+to+assess+the+pathways+of+body+adiposity+and+inflammation+status+on+dysmetabolic+biomarkers+via+red+cell+distribution+width+and+mean+corpuscular+volume%3A+a+cross-sectional+study+in+overweight+and+obese+subjects.&volume=19&issue=1&spage=154&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.1186%2Fs12944-020-01308-5&pmid=32590977&sid=OVID:medline + +<1275> +Unique Identifier + 32589682 +Title + Identification of pathognomonic purine synthesis biomarkers by metabolomic profiling of adolescents with obesity and type 2 diabetes. +Source + PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 15(6):e0234970, 2020. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Concepcion J; Chen K; Saito R; Gangoiti J; Mendez E; Nikita ME; Barshop BA; Natarajan L; Sharma K; Kim JJ +Author NameID + Barshop, Bruce A; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9264-3270 + Kim, Jane J; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0228-0128 +Authors Full Name + Concepcion, Jennifer; Chen, Katherine; Saito, Rintaro; Gangoiti, Jon; Mendez, Eric; Nikita, Maria Eleni; Barshop, Bruce A; Natarajan, Loki; Sharma, Kumar; Kim, Jane J. +Institution + Concepcion, Jennifer.

We identified and compared metabolite signatures in obese children with type 2 diabetes (T2D), obese children without diabetes (OB), and healthy, age- and gender-matched normal weight controls (NW) by measuring 273 analytes in fasting plasma and 24-hour urine samples from 90 subjects by targeted LC-MS/MS. Diabetic subjects were within 2 years of diagnosis in an attempt to capture early-stage disease prior to declining renal function. We found 22 urine metabolites that were uniquely associated with T2D when compared to OB and NW groups. The metabolites most significantly elevated in T2D youth included members of the betaine pathway, nucleic acid metabolism, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and their catabolites. Notably, the metabolite pattern in OB and T2D groups differed between urine and plasma, suggesting that urinary BCAAs and their intermediates behaved as a more specific biomarker for T2D, while plasma BCAAs associated with the obese, insulin resistant state independent of diabetes status. Correlative analysis of metabolites in the T2D signature indicated that betaine metabolites, BCAAs, and aromatic amino acids were associated with hyperglycemia, but BCAA acylglycine derivatives and nucleic acid metabolites were linked to insulin resistance. Of major interest, we found that urine levels of succinylaminoimidazole carboxamide riboside (SAICA-riboside) were increased in diabetic youth, identifying urine SAICA-riboside as a potential biomarker for T2D. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids, Branched-Chain). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Nucleic Acids). 0 (Purines). 3SCV180C9W (Betaine). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We analyzed their association with the clinical activity of the disease and with body mass index (BMI). Demographic data, medical history, serum, and scale from psoriatic plaques for assessment of IL-17 were collected from all the participants. The disease severity was assessed with PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index), BSA (Body Surface Area), PGA (Physician Global Assessment), NAPSI (Nail Psoriasis Severity Index), and DLQI (Dermatology Quality of Life Index) scores. Obesity was diagnosed by calculating body mass index. Serum and scale concentration of IL-17 was determined with Human IL-17A High Sensitivity ELISA kit and Human IL-17 ELISA kit. In the psoriatic patients, BMI was statistically significantly higher than in the control group. Most of the patients presented BMI higher than normal. Our study confirms that overweight is a problem among psoriatic patients. A significant positive correlation between the IL-17 serum and scale concentrations and psoriasis severity indicates that IL-17 can be used as the marker of disease severity. More data from human studies can be crucial for understanding that relationship between IL-17, psoriasis, and obesity.

In this study, we show that in a cohort of 4,942 men and women, circulating 3-HIB is elevated according to levels of hyperglycemia and established type 2 diabetes. In complementary cohorts with measures of insulin resistance, we found positive correlates for circulating 3-HIB concentrations with HOMA2 of insulin resistance, as well as a transient increase in 3-HIB followed by a marked decrease after bariatric surgery and weight loss. During differentiation, both white and brown adipocytes upregulate BCAA utilization and release increasing amounts of 3-HIB. Knockdown of the 3-HIB-forming enzyme 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA hydrolase decreases release of 3-HIB and lipid accumulation in both cell types. Conversely, addition of 3-HIB to white and brown adipocyte cultures increases fatty acid uptake and modulated insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in a time-dependent manner. Finally, 3-HIB treatment decreases mitochondrial oxygen consumption and generation of reactive oxygen species in white adipocytes, while increasing these measures in brown adipocytes. Our data establish 3-HIB as a novel adipocyte-derived regulator of adipocyte subtype-specific functions strongly linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.

The median age was 43 years (interquartile range, 33-54), 59.2% men, and 18.6% healthcare workers (12.3% from our center). The median body mass index (BMI) was 29.00 kg/m2 and 39.6% had obesity. Compared to outpatients, inpatients were older, had comorbidities, cough, and dyspnea more frequently. Twenty-nine (20.7%) inpatients required treatment in the IC unit (ICU). History of diabetes (type 1 or 2) and abdominal pain were more common in ICU patients compared to non-ICU patients. ICU patients had higher BMIs, higher respiratory rates, and lower room-air capillary oxygen saturations. ICU patients showed a more severe inflammatory response as assessed by white blood cell count, neutrophil and platelet count, C-reactive protein, ferritin, procalcitonin, and albumin levels. By the end of the study period, 65 inpatients had been discharged because of improvement, 70 continued hospitalized, and five had died. + + CONCLUSIONS: Patients with comorbidities, either middle-age obese or elderly complaining of fever, cough, or dyspnea, were more likely to be admitted. At admission, patients with diabetes, high BMI, and clinical or laboratory findings consistent with a severe inflammatory state were more likely to require IC.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between AIP and NAFLD as well as to determine whether AIP might be used as an indicator of NAFLD in non-obese individuals. + + METHODS: The present study involved non-obese Chinese and Japanese participants. Risk factors are evaluated using univariate and multivariate analysis. The performance of risk factors was compared according to the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. + + RESULTS: In the unadjusted model, the odds ratio (OR) for every 1 standard deviation (SD) increase in AIP was 52.30. In adjusted models I and II, the OR for every 1 SD increase in AIP was 36.57 and 50.84, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for AIP was 0.803 and 0.802 in the development and validation groups, respectively. The best cut-off value of AIP for discrimination between NAFLD and non-NAFLD was 0.005 in the Chinese group and - 0.220 in the Japanese group. + + CONCLUSIONS: AIP and NAFLD are positively correlated in Chinese and Japanese populations. Therefore, AIP can be used as a new screening indicator for non-obese people with NAFLD in different nations. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, no studies have analyzed lipid control defined as the composite achievement of goals in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) and apolipoproteinB-100 (ApoB-100), in patients with premature coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to analyze lipid control rates, and the associated factors with its poor achievement in patients with premature CAD. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: The study included 1196 patients with CAD diagnosed before 55 and 65 years old in men and women, respectively. The American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (non-strict) and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (strict) criteria were used to analyze lipid control rates. Sociodemographic, dietary-healthy and clinical characteristics of the patients were collected. Participants were 54 +/- 8 years old, 19.7% were women, and median CAD evolution was 2.4 years. Non-strict and strict lipid control was achieved in 23.0% and 8.9% of the patients, respectively. Moreover, 46.5% and 62.8% of the patients did not achieve any lipid goal using both criteria. Sociodemographic data were not different among patients who achieved or not lipid control. Treatment adherence<85%, prescription of low- and moderate-intensity statins, and obesity were consistently associated with poor lipid control. + + CONCLUSIONS: Lipid control is suboptimal in patients with premature CAD. Low lipid-lowering treatment adherence, low prescription of high-intensity statins, and obesity were independently associated with poor lipid control. Novel preventive programs and more aggressive pharmacological intervention should be implemented in order to reduce the burden of premature CAD.

In obese men, postprandial endotoxemia is modulated by the amount of fat ingested, being higher compared to normal-weight (NW) subjects. Relative variations of LBP/sCD14 ratio in response to overfeeding are also considered important in the inflammation set-up, as measured through IL-6 concentration. We tested the hypothesis that postprandial LBP and sCD14 circulating concentrations differed in obese vs. overweight and NW men after a fat-rich meal. We thus analyzed the postprandial kinetics of LBP and sCD14 in the context of two clinical trials involving postprandial tests in normal-, over-weight and obese men. In the first clinical trial eight NW and 8 obese men ingested breakfasts containing 10 vs. 40 g of fat. In the second clinical trial, 18 healthy men were overfed during 8 weeks. sCD14, LBP and Il-6 were measured in all subjects during 5 h after test meal. Obese men presented a higher fasting and postprandial LBP concentration in plasma than NW men regardless of fat load, while postprandial sCD14 was similar in both groups. Irrespective of the overfeeding treatment, we observed postprandial increase of sCD14 and decrease of LBP before and after OF. In obese individuals receiving a 10 g fat load, whereas IL-6 increased 5h after meal, LBP and sCD14 did not increase. No direct association between the postprandial kinetics of endotoxemia markers sCD14 and LBP and of inflammation in obese men was observed in this study. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Acute-Phase Proteins). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (CD14 protein, human). 0 (Carrier Proteins). 0 (Lipopolysaccharide Receptors). 0 (Membrane Glycoproteins). 0 (lipopolysaccharide-binding protein). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Globally, obesity is becoming a public health problem in the general population. Various determinants were reported by different scholars even though there are inconsistencies. Different biomarkers of obesity were identified for the prediction of obesity. Even though researchers speculate the factors, biomarkers, consequences, and prevention mechanisms, there is a lack of aggregate and purified data in the area of obesity. Summary. In this review, the epidemiology, predisposing factors, biomarkers, consequences, and prevention approaches of obesity were reviewed. Key Messages. The epidemiology of obesity increased in low-, middle-, and high-income countries. Even if the factors vary across regions and socioeconomic levels, sociodemographic, behavioral, and genetic factors were prominent for the development of obesity. There are a lot of biomarkers for obesity, of which microRNA, adipocytes, oxidative stress, blood cell profile, nutrients, and microbiota were promising biomarkers for determination of occurrence of obesity. Since the consequences of obesity are vast and interrelated, multidimensional prevention strategy is mandatory in all nations.

Serum and whole blood zinc and copper concentrations were measured by validated ICP-MS method, and copper/zinc ratios were calculated and correlated to various anthropometric parameters. + + RESULTS: Mean BMI in obese (24.78 +/-3.93) was significantly higher as compared to non-obese (16.44 +/-2.34; p < 0.0001, 95% CI: 15.9873-16.8998) children. Mean serum copper levels in obese children (1099.80 +/-478.67 microg/l) were significantly lower than for non-obese children (2063.77 +/-1006.81 microg/l; p = 0.0001, 95% CI: 1867.9755-2259.5755). Similarly, the mean serum zinc levels in obese children (851.53 +/-406.33 microg/l) were also significantly lower as compared to non-obese children (1528.72 +/-796.82 microg/l; p = 0.0001, 95% CI: 1373.76-1683.6879). Mean whole blood copper levels were significantly lower in obese (929.56 +/-200.15 microg/l) as compared to non-obese (1393.22 +/-861.92 microg/l; p = 0.0001, 95% CI: 1225.6023-1560.8481) children. Similarly, the mean whole blood zinc levels in obese (4384.11 +/-881.87 microg/l) were also significantly lower as compared to non-obese (5380.14 +/-2236.77 microg/l; p = 0.001, 95% CI: 4945.1491-5815.1416) children. + + CONCLUSIONS: The serum and whole blood concentrations of zinc and copper were found to be significantly lower in children with exogenous obesity as compared to controls. Additional investigations are recommended to see the underlying aspect of these elements in the development of obesity along with their co-morbidities. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 789U1901C5 (Copper).

The benefits of GlycA as a metabolic marker were investigated against hsCRP. + + RESULTS: The GlycA concentration correlated with more of the metabolomics markers (144 out of 157), than hsCRP (55 out of 157) (FDR < 0.05). The results remained essentially the same when potential confounding factors known to associate with GlycA and hsCRP levels were taken into account (P < 0.05). This was attributable to the detected correlations between GlycA and the constituents and concentrations of several sized VLDL-particles and branched chain amino acids, which were statistically non-significant with regard to hsCRP. GlycA, but not hsCRP, correlated inversely with gut microbiome diversity. + + CONCLUSION: GlycA is a superior marker than hsCRP in assessing the metabolomic profile and gut microbiome diversity. It is proposed that GlycA may act as a novel marker that reflects both the gut microbiome and adipose tissue originated metabolic aberrations; this proposal will need to be verified with regard to clinical outcomes. + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01922791, August 14, 2013. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycoproteins). 0 (HP protein, human). 0 (Haptoglobins). 0 (Serum Amyloid A Protein). 9001-32-5 (Fibrinogen). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein).

Myokines are one of the mediators of physical activity health benefits. Relationship between regular physical activity (RPA) and baseline plasma Meteorin-Like Hormone (Metrnl) has not been explored in human. Hence, we compared baseline plasma Metrnl between sedentary individuals and ones with recreational physical activities, and role of Metrnl as a biological messenger between physical activity and insulin resistance and body composition was also explored. + + METHODS: Forty healthy young men (aged: 21 +/- 2.1 yrs; BMI: 23 +/- 3.44 kg/m2) completed the study. Participants were equally assigned into two groups of control (sedentary) and case (recreational athletes). Baseline plasma Metrnl, glucose, insulin and body composition components and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were assessed under resting conditions. + + RESULTS: Except for baseline blood glucose, baseline plasma Metrnl, insulin, HOMA-IR and body mass index and body fat percentage were similar between two groups (P > 0.05). However, after Metrnl correction for the degree of insulin resistance index (Metrnl/HOMA-IR), recreational athletes showed a significantly greater baseline compared to sedentary subjects (P < 0.05). Baseline blood glucose showed a negative and significant correlation with baseline plasma Metrnl (P < 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Baseline plasma Metrnl is correlated with regular physical activity and insulin sensitivity, but not with body composition parameters. Metrnl may be one possible mediator of the beneficial effects of PA on insulin sensitivity in healthy humans. Hence, increasing awareness of the benefits of physical activity and incorporating physical activity into lifestyle are of great importance for people with non-communicable diseases.

Obesity, a condition that induces oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and low AMPK activity leads to mitochondrial fragmentation. However, few studies describe the effect of PA on mitochondrial dynamics regulation in obesity. + + AIM: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a single session of PA on mitochondrial dynamics regulation as well as its effect on mitochondrial function and organization in skeletal muscles of obese rats (Zucker fa/fa). + + MAIN METHODS: Male Zucker lean and Zucker fa/fa rats aged 12 to 13 weeks were divided into sedentary and subjected-to-PA (single session swimming) groups. Gastrocnemius muscle was dissected into isolated fibers, mitochondria, mRNA, and total proteins for their evaluation. + + KEY FINDINGS: The results showed that PA increased the Mfn-2 protein level in the lean and obese groups, whereas Drp1 levels decreased in the obese group. OMA1 protease levels increased in the lean group and decreased in the obese group. Additionally, AMPK analysis parameters (expression, protein level, and activity) did not increase in the obese group. These findings correlated with the partial restoration of mitochondrial function in the obese group, increasing the capacity to maintain the membrane potential after adding calcium as a stressor, and increasing the transversal organization level of the mitochondria analyzed in isolated fibers. + + SIGNIFICANCE: These results support the notion that obese rats subjected to PA maintain mitochondrial function through mitochondrial fusion activation by an AMPK-independent mechanism.

However, its meaning has changed over the centuries. This work gives a historical and critical review of the concept of inflammation, with special reference to kidney diseases. Over time the definition of inflammation has shifted from a pure collection of symptoms to a histopathological definition, characterized by the tissue "inflammatory infiltrates" and different subcategories according to the cell type involved. The advantages of this classification are the generally good response to corticosteroids (with only a few exceptions) and the availability of specific drugs for each inflammatory infiltrate. Finally, a "molecular" definition of inflammation has arisen, where the inflammatory infiltrates make room to a plethora of plasma mediators. The authors show that the use of plasma biomarkers as a tool to define inflammatory state leads to net inflation of the number of "inflammatory" diseases - an effect that shows clearly in the field of nephrology.

Hyperaldosteronism is suggested to cause inflammation and metabolic dysregulation, and might contribute to CVD development in obese individuals. + + OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the association of aldosterone concentrations with inflammation, metabolic disturbances, and atherosclerosis in overweight and obese individuals. Additionally, we measured renin concentrations to investigate whether the observed effects reflected general activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). + + DESIGN: A cross-sectional cohort study (300-OB study) was conducted. Various inflammatory parameters, traits of the metabolic syndrome, lipidome and metabolome parameters, fat distribution, and carotid atherosclerosis were associated with plasma aldosterone and renin levels. + + SETTING: The setting of this study was the Radboudumc (i.o. Radboudumc), the Netherlands. + + PATIENTS: A total of 302 individuals with a body mass index greater than or equal to 27 kg/m2 participated. + + MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES AND RESULTS: Aldosterone was associated with various markers of inflammation and metabolic dysregulation, which partly differed from the associations observed for renin. Although both were associated with inflammatory cell numbers, only renin was associated with classical markers of systemic inflammation. Both were associated with the metabolic syndrome and hepatic steatosis. Of the traits that constitute metabolic syndrome, aldosterone, but not renin, was associated with triglyceride concentrations. Accordingly, aldosterone was associated with large very low-density lipoprotein particles; metabolomics studies further associated aldosterone with urate concentrations and derivatives of the linoleic acid metabolism pathway. Neither aldosterone nor renin was associated with atherosclerotic plaque thickness. + + CONCLUSIONS: Aldosterone is not an important driver of systemic inflammation in the obese, whereas aldosterone concentrations and metabolic dysregulation are strongly intertwined in these individuals. Although prospective studies are necessary to validate these results, the independent effects of aldosterone on carotid atherosclerosis appear modest.

The obesity-associated chronic low-level inflammation contributes to severe comorbidities and directly affects many immune cells leading to immune dysfunction and increased susceptibility to infections. Thus, prophylaxis against vaccine-preventable diseases is crucial, yet the responsiveness to several vaccines is unclear under obesity. In order to assess the responsiveness to tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) vaccine, we revaccinated 37 obese individuals and 36 normal-weight controls with a licensed TBE vaccine. Metabolic, hormonal, and immunologic profiles along with vaccine-specific humoral and cellular immune responses were evaluated in sera and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) before, 1 week, 4 weeks, and 6 months after TBE booster. Obese adults had significantly increased metabolic (triglycerides, cholesterol ratios, leptin, insulin) and proinflammatory (C-reactive protein) parameters. They showed stronger initial increase of TBE-specific Ab titers (d7_d28) followed by a significantly faster decline after 6 months, which correlated with high body mass index and leptin and insulin levels. The fold increase of Ab-titer levels was significantly higher in obese compared to control males and linked to reduced testosterone levels. Obesity also affected cellular responses: PBMCs of the obese vaccinees had elevated interleukin 2 and interferon gamma levels upon antigen stimulation, indicating a leptin-dependent proinflammatory TH1 polarization. The expansion of total and naive B cells in obese might explain the initial increase of Ab titers, whereas the reduced B-memory cell and plasma blast generation could be related to fast Ab decline with a limited maintenance of titers. Among T follicular helper cell (Tfh) cells, the Tfh17 subset was significantly expanded particularly in obese males, where we observed a strong initial Ab increase. Systemic but not local vaccine side effects were more frequent in obese subjects as a possible consequence of their low-grade proinflammatory state. In summary, TBE booster vaccination was effective in obese individuals, yet the faster Ab decline could result in a reduced long-term protection. The sex-based differences in vaccine responses indicate a complex interplay of the endocrine, metabolic, and immune system during obesity. Further studies on the long-term protection after vaccination are ongoing, and also evaluation of primary vaccination against TBE in obese individuals is planned.

Advanced forms of lymphedema are readily diagnosed clinically, but more subtle presentations often require invasive imaging or other technologies for a conclusive diagnosis. On the other hand, lipedema, a chronic lymphatic microvascular disease with pathological accumulation of subcutaneous adipose tissue, is often misdiagnosed as obesity or lymphedema; currently there are no biomarkers or imaging criteria available for a conclusive diagnosis. Recent evidence suggests that otherwise-asymptomatic defective lymphatic vasculature likely contributes to an array of other pathologies, including obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, and neurological disorders. Accordingly, identification of biomarkers of lymphatic malfunction will provide a valuable resource for the diagnosis and clinical differentiation of lymphedema, lipedema, obesity, and other potential lymphatic pathologies. In this paper, we profiled and compared blood plasma exosomes isolated from mouse models and from human subjects with and without symptomatic lymphatic pathologies. We identified platelet factor 4 (PF4/CXCL4) as a biomarker that could be used to diagnose lymphatic vasculature dysfunction. Furthermore, we determined that PF4 levels in circulating blood plasma exosomes were also elevated in patients with lipedema, supporting current claims arguing that at least some of the underlying attributes of this disease are also the consequence of lymphatic defects. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 37270-94-3 (Platelet Factor 4). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Maternal metabolite profiling reflects both genetic and environmental influences and allows elucidation of metabolic pathways associated with infant adiposity. In this multi-ethnic Asian cohort, we aimed to (i) identify maternal plasma metabolites associated with infant adiposity and other birth outcomes and (ii) investigate the maternal characteristics associated with those metabolites. In 940 mother-offspring pairs, we performed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and identified 134 metabolites in maternal fasting plasma at 26-28 weeks of gestation. At birth, neonatal triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses were measured by trained research personnel, while weight and length measures were abstracted from delivery records. Gestational age was estimated from first-trimester dating ultrasound. Associations were assessed by multivariable linear regression, with p-values corrected using the Benjamini-Hochberg approach. At a false discovery rate of 5%, we observed associations between 28 metabolites and neonatal sum of skinfold thicknesses (13 amino acid-related, 4 non-esterified fatty acids, 6 xenobiotics, and 5 unknown compounds). Few associations were observed with gestational duration, birth weight, or birth length. Maternal ethnicity, pre-pregnancy BMI, and diet quality during pregnancy had the strongest associations with the specific metabolome related to infant adiposity. Further studies are warranted to replicate our findings and to understand the underlying mechanisms. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The immune and oxidative defense systems exhibit circadian periodicity, with an anticipatory increase in activity coincident with the onset of the active period. Spice consumption is associated with enhanced oxidative defense. The objective of this study was to test the feasibility of a protocol, comparing the effects of morning vs. evening consumption of turmeric on urine markers of oxidative stress in obese, middle-aged adults. Using a within-sample design, participants received each of four clock time x treatment administrations, each separated by one week: morning turmeric; evening turmeric; morning control; evening control. Participants prepared for each lab visit by consuming a low-antioxidant diet for two days and fasting for 12 h. Urine was collected in the lab at baseline and one-hour post-meal and at home for the following five hours. The results showed that the processes were successful in executing the protocol and collecting the measurements and that participants understood and adhered to the instructions. The findings also revealed that the spice treatment did not elicit the expected antioxidant effect and that the six-hour post-treatment urine collection period did not detect differences in urine endpoints across treatments. This feasibility study revealed that modifications to the spice treatment and urine sampling timeline are needed before implementing a larger study. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The present study tested a low carbohydrate diet, enriched with proteins, in subjects with overweight and obesity. + + METHODS: The study enrolled 22 uncomplicated overweight and obese subjects. Several parameters were examined before and after 6 weeks of a low-carbohydrate diet, enriched with 18 g of whey proteins. Anthropometric (body mass index, waist circumference) variables, fasting hormones (insulin, TSH, FT3, FT4), and metabolic (glucose, prealbumin, and lipid levels) parameters were measured. 25- OH-vitamin D (25 (OH) D), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and osteocalcin, were also quantified. Body composition parameters (fat mass, fat-free mass, body cell mass, total body water) were measured by electrical bioimpedance analysis. As cardiovascular parameters, blood pressure, endothelium flowmediated dilation (FMD), and common carotid artery intima-media thickness were also measured. + + RESULTS: The low-carbohydrate diet integrated with proteins induced a significant decrease in body weight (P < 0.001), waist circumference (P < 0.001), fat mass (P < 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.01), triglycerides (P < 0.001), total cholesterol (P < 0.001), pre-albumin (P < 0.001), insulin (P < 0.001), HOMAIR (P < 0.001), FT3 (P < 0.05), and c-IMT (P < 0.001), and a significant increase in FMD (P < 0.001) and 25 (OH) D (P < 0.001) was also observed. + + CONCLUSION: All these results suggest that a short-term non-prescriptive low carbohydrate diet, enriched with whey proteins, may be a good way to start losing fat mass and increase health.

Recently, sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) were reported to protect renal injury. However, the mechanisms of SGLT2i for renal protection are unclear. Here, we investigated the effect of SGLT2i for autophagy in renal proximal tubular cells (PTCs) on obesity mice. We fed C57BL/6J mice with a normal diet (ND) or high-fat and -sugar diet (HFSD) for nine weeks, then administered SGLT2i, empagliflozin, or control compound for one week. Each group contained N = 5. The urinary N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase level in the HFSD group significantly increased compared to ND group. The tubular damage was suppressed in the SGLT2i-HFSD group. In electron microscopic analysis, multi lamellar bodies that increased in autophagy deficiency were increased in PTCs in the HFSD group but significantly suppressed in the SGLT2i group. The autophagosomes of damaged mitochondria in PTCs in the HFSD group frequently appeared in the SGLT2i group. p62 accumulations in PTCs were significantly increased in HFSD group but significantly suppressed by SGLT2i. In addition, the mammalian target of rapamycin was activated in the HFSD group but significantly suppressed in SGLT2i group. These data suggest that SGLT2i has renal protective effects against obesity via improving autophagy flux impairment in PTCs on a HFSD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2). 0 (Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors).

Vitamin D is the key regulator of bone metabolism and its deficiency contributes to higher level of parathyroid hormone (PTH), leading to the activation of bone turnover. + + METHODS: We studied 161 subjects of which 65 were young healthy subjects and 96 were elderly subjects. We measured creatinine, 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2D, PTH, albumin, and calcium plasma levels, we evaluated physical activity, and we calculated BMI. A sub-cohort of elderly subjects also underwent DXA scans. + + RESULTS: Overweight and obese subjects, as well as underweight ones, had lower levels of vitamin D but normal serum concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D and PTH was higher in underweight and obese subjects. Moreover, we found a nonlinear relationship between body mass index (BMI) and PTH with a significant U-shaped exponential regression. Regardless of BMI, 25(OH)D mean levels were higher in subjects who practice physical activity. + + CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that physical activity and BMI had a significant effect on the metabolism of bone and vitamin D, but the effect of BMI was different in underweight, normal weight or obese subjects. In obesity the real vitamin D deficiency could be estimate by serum 1,25(OH)2D concentrations whose lower levels contribute to the higher PTH production and consequently to bone loss and to a greater fracture risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). 66772-14-3 (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Disease activity was assessed with the SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI-2K), and disease-related organ damage was assessed using the SLICC/ACR damage index (SDI). Biochemical variables of lipids profile, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), homocysteine (Hcy), anti-dsDNA titers and complement components C3 and C4 serum levels were measured. Blood pressure and ankle-brachial index (ABI) were also calculated. + + RESULTS: Significant differences were observed between normal-weight, overweight and obese patients in SLEDAI (2.60+/-2.48 vs. 2.71+/-2.65 vs. 3.84+/-3.02; P=0.004), SDI (0.76+/-1.10 vs. 1.09+/-1.24 vs. 1.57+/-1.54; P=0.002), hsCRP (2.15+/-2.93 vs. 3.24+/-3.63 vs. 5.30+/-5.63 mg/dL; P<0.001), complement C3 level (99.92+/-24.45 vs. 111.38+/-27.41 vs. 123.16+/-28.96 mg/dL; P<0.001), triglycerides serum levels (85.99+/-41.68 vs. 102.35+/-50.88 vs. 129.12+/-61.59 mg/dL; P<0.001) and systolic blood pressure (112.28+/-16.35 vs. 124.25+/-17.94 vs. 132.78+/-16.71 mmHg; P=0.001) after adjusting for age and sex. + + CONCLUSIONS: Patients with SLE who are obese have worse disease activity and damage accrual, higher levels of inflammation markers hs-CRP and C3 complement, increased triglycerides serum levels and systolic blood pressure levels in comparison with overweight or normal weight SLE patients, supporting that optimizing weight in SLE patients should be a potential target to improve SLE outcomes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Our purpose was to investigate if there is an association between levels of 25(OH)D and the components of MetS in an obese sample. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled obese patients referred for bariatric surgery in a specialized clinic. Secondary data were gathered as follows: glycemic and lipid profiles, 25(OH)D, anthropometric parameters, and clinical and sociodemographic information. The results were presented as means (standard deviations) or medians and interquartile intervals or absolute and relative frequencies. The patients were divided into three groups based on 25(OH)D terciles for analysis and were compared using ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis or chi-squared tests. The correlations were calculated by Spearman's or Pearson's correlation tests. Results: We studied 299 patients, with the majority being women (74.9%). The patients' average (SD) age and 25(OH)D level were 36 (9) years and 25.8 (7.5) ng/mL, respectively. There was no association between vitamin D and MetS or its components. A progressive decrease in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and nonhigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) was observed as the serum vitamin D level increased, although only the latter reached statistical significance (P = 0.033). The correlation analysis showed a negative linear association between 25(OH)D and total cholesterol (r = -0.157; P = 0.047), 25(OH)D and LDL-c (r = -0.164; P = 0.038), and 25(OH)D and non-HDL-c (r = -0.176; P = 0.026). Conclusions: There was a negative correlation between 25(OH)D levels and the atherogenic profile but none with the MetS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D).

In postmenopausal women, the role of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) on bone turnover markers (BTMs) has not been investigated. The aim was to investigate the impact of VAT on BTMs, total bone mineral density (BMD), vitamin D metabolites and parathyroid levels (1-84 PTH) levels in postmenopausal women. A total of 76 lean and overweight women (without osteoporosis) underwent VAT measurements by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (iDXA). Blood samples were analyzed for serum C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX-1), osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (bone ALP), 1-84 PTH and vitamin D (25 hydroxyvitamin D, 25(OH)D) levels. VAT volumes ranged from 91 to 3392 cm3 and body mass index (BMI) ranged from 18.3 to 53.9 kg/m2. Women in the highest VAT quartile had significantly lower CTX-1, 25(OH)D, osteocalcin and the highest BMD (p < 0.05, for all). While VAT positively associated with BMD, after controlling for BMI, VAT was a negative predictor of BMD (beta = 0.368, p < 0.05). VAT was an independent negative predictor of CTX-1 (beta = -0.263, p < 0.05) and osteocalcin levels (beta = -0.277, p < 0.05). Among all measures of adiposity, VAT was the strongest independent determinant of BMD and BTMs. In clinical settings, VAT, and not BMI, may be a sensitive predictor of bone health in obese women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Leptin (LEP) is an anti-obesity hormone which regulates food intake, energy expenditure and glucose metabolism. The genetic variants in leptin and leptin receptor gene (LEPR) may play major role in the pathogenesis of T2DM and obesity. The current study aimed to investigate the association of polymorphisms in LEP (rs7799039, -2548G/A and rs2167270, 19G/A) and LEPR (rs1137101, 668A/G) gene with type 2 diabetes in North Indian Punjabi population. + + METHODS: A total of 817 subjects were included for the present case-control study, consisting of 417 T2DM patients and 400 healthy controls. The anthropometric, physiometric and biochemical measurements were taken from all the subjects. The genotyping of LEP and LEPR gene variants were carried out by polymerase chain reaction based restriction fragment length polymorphism method (PCR-RFLP), followed by genotyping of 10% of the samples for each polymorphism by Sanger sequencing method for quality control measurement. + + RESULTS: The risk genotype frequencies were found to be significantly higher in T2DM cases than control subjects (rs7799039, p = 0.001; rs2167270, p = 0.019 and rs1137101, p = 0.003). Under recessive genetic model LEPrs7799039 and LEPRrs1137101 polymorphism conferred 3.4 and 2.1 fold risk towards the development of T2DM after adjustment of various covariates (OR = 3.44, 95%CI: 1.768-6.681, p = 0.001 and OR: 2.12, 95%CI: 1.256-3.569, p = 0.005, respectively). In the stratified analysis of LEP variant rs7799039 by age, gender, BMI and alcohol use, a significantly increased risk of T2DM was found in female, BMI >= 23 and never drinking subgroups. However, in the LEPR variant rs1137101, significantly increased risk of T2DM was observed in age <50, male, BMI >= 23 and never drinking subgroup. The A-G haplotype combination of rs7799039A and rs2167270G conferred significant 2 fold risk towards T2DM (OR = 2.35, 95%CI: 1.34-4.12, p = 0.002). In control group, the genetic variants rs7799039 and rs1137101 were significantly associated with levels of random blood sugar and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. + + CONCLUSION: The present study revealed the association of LEP rs7799039 and LEPR rs1137101 with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which suggest its predominant role in the estimation of type 2 diabetes mellitus in North Indian Punjabi population.

Despite progress in applying for personalized medicine in asthma, no specific recommendations exist for the management of OA. + + AREAS COVERED: The aim of this review is to summarize recent data about the relationship obesity-asthma, describe clinical characteristics, potential mechanisms involved and possible therapeutic interventions to improve OA outcomes. Extensive research in the PubMed was performed using the following terms: "asthma and obesity" and "obese asthma" in combination with "phenotypes", "airway inflammation", "biomarkers", "lung function", "weight loss", "lifestyle interventions", "therapies" Currently two phenotypes are described. Early-onset atopic asthma is conventional allergic asthma aggravated by the pro-inflammatory properties of adipose tissue in excess, while late-onset non-atopic asthma is due to airway dysfunction as a consequence of the chronic lung compression caused by the obese chest walls. Previous data showed that different therapeutic strategies used in weight loss have a positive impact on OA outcomes. + + EXPERT OPINION: The presence of a multidisciplinary team (chest physician, nutritionist, exercise physiologist, physiotherapist, psychologist, bariatric surgeon) and the collaboration between different specialists are mandatory to optimize the management and to apply the personalized medicine in OA. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Currently, high-dose liraglutide has been used for weight control in non-diabetic patients. Considering incretin-based therapy is more effective in Asian populations, the effect of low-dose liraglutide in weight control among these non-diabetic groups has not been well evaluated. Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of low-dose liraglutide in weight control among Taiwan patients. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: From July 2017 to December 2018, 46 non-diabetic patients with metabolic syndrome were included. They had received low-dose liraglutide at 0.6 or 1.2 mg per day for weight reduction for 12 weeks. After then, changes in bodyweight, waist and metabolic factors were examined. Overt bodyweight reduction was defined as a decrease of >5% within 12 weeks. + + RESULTS: With 12 weeks of medication use, both groups showed statistical weight reduction. Higher doses of liraglutide had better efficacy, and 44.4% of patients in the liraglutide 1.2 mg group reached overt weight reduction, whereas just 32.1% in the 0.6 mg group had achieved this. Young age was found to be a predictor factor for a positive finding (odds ratio 0.941, P = 0.037). Early responders with decreased bodyweight of >4.2% within the first 4 weeks indicated a better chance to achieve measurable weight reduction. + + CONCLUSIONS: Low-dose liraglutide still has high efficacy in weight reduction in Taiwanese people, especially for those of younger age.

Our objective is to evaluate efficacy and safety of weight loss (WL) plus aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy in severely obese men with HHG. We hypothesize that AI+WL will be more effective as compared to WL alone in improving the hormonal profile, thus muscle strength and symptoms of HHG (primary outcomes), with no significant adverse effects on lean mass, metabolic profile, and bone mineral density (secondary outcomes). Design: Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled pilot trial. Methods: Twenty-three obese men (BMI>=35 kg/m2), 35-65 years old, were randomized to weight loss (diet and exercise) plus either anastrozole (AI+WL, n = 12) at 1 mg daily or placebo (PBO+WL, n = 11) for 6 months. Inclusion criteria: total testosterone <300 ng/mL (average of 2 measurements), estradiol>=10.9 pg/ml, LH <9 IU/l. Symptoms of hypogonadism by questionnaires; muscle strength by Biodex dynamometer; body composition and bone mineral density by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; bone microarchitecture and finite element analysis by high resolution peripheral quantitative-computed tomography. Results: After 6 months of therapy, AI+WL group had higher testosterone (p = 0.003) and lower estradiol (p = 0.001) compared to PBO+WL. Changes in symptoms and muscle strength did not differ between groups. AI+WL resulted in higher fat mass loss than PBO+WL (p = 0.04) without differences in changes in lean mass. Total and LDL cholesterol reduced more in the PBO+WL group compared to AI+WL (p = 0.03 for both), who experienced a minimal increase with unlikely meaningful clinical impact. Tibial trabecular bone area decreased more in PBO+WL than AI+WL group for which it remained stable (p = 0.03). Conclusions: Although AI+WL is effective in reversing the hormonal profile of HHG in severely obese men without causing major side effects, it does not lead to greater improvements in muscle strength and symptoms of hypogonadism compared to WL alone.

Physical performance was objectively measured by hand grip strength and the Short Physical Performance Battery. Percent VAT was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Fasting serum concentrations of glucose, insulin, IL-6, TNF- alpha, and hs-CRP were measured. + + MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: was insulin resistance, expressed as the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). + + RESULTS: 1159 women were analyzed, mean age 56.3 (range 45-69) years, comprising women of Chinese (84.0%), Indian (10.2%), and Malay (5.7%) ethnic origins. The adjusted mean differences for obesity (0.66, 95% CI 0.32-1.00), VAT area in the highest vs lowest tertile (1.03, 95% CI 0.73-1.34), low physical performance (0.63, 95% CI 0.05-1.24), and highest vs lowest tertile of TNF- alpha (0.35, 95% CI 0.13-0.57) were independently associated with HOMA-IR. Women of Malay and Indian ethnicity had higher crude HOMA-IR than Chinese women. However, after adjustment for obesity, VAT, physical performance, and TNF- alpha, no differences in mean HOMA-IR remained, when comparing Chinese women with those of Malay ethnicity (0.27, 95% CI -0.12 to 0.66) and with those of Indian ethnicity (0.30, 95% CI -0.01 to 0.66). + + CONCLUSIONS: Insulin resistance was independently associated with obesity, high VAT, low physical performance, and high levels of TNF- alpha in midlife Singaporean women. These variables entirely explained the significant differences in insulin resistance between women of Chinese, Malay and Indian ethnicity. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

This study compared low-volume HIIT and higher-volume MICT interventions on cardiometabolic and psychological responses in overweight/obese middle-aged men. Twenty-four participants (age: 48.1+/-5.2yr; BMI: 25.8+/-2.3kg.m-2) were randomly assigned to undertake either HIIT (10 X 1-min bouts of running at 80-90% HRmax separated by 1-min active recovery) or MICT (50-min continuous jogging/brisk walking at 65-70% HRmax) for 3 sessions/week for 8 weeks (2-week supervised + 6-week unsupervised training). Both groups showed similar cardiovascular fitness (VO2max) improvement (HIIT: 32.5+/-5.6 to 36.0+/-6.2; MICT: 34.3+/-6.0 to 38.2+/-5.1mL kg-1 min-1, p < 0.05) and %fat loss (HIIT: 24.5+/-3.4 to 23.2+/-3.5%; MICT: 23.0+/-4.3 to 21.5+/-4.1%, p< 0.05) over the 8-week intervention. Compared to baseline, MICT significantly decreased weight and waist circumference. No significant group differences were observed for blood pressure and cardiometabolic blood markers such as lipid profiles, fasting glucose and glycated haemoglobin. Both groups showed similar enjoyment levels and high unsupervised adherence rates (>90%). Our findings suggest that low-volume HIIT can elicit a similar improvement of cardiovascular fitness as traditional higher-volume MICT in overweight/obese middle-aged men. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Seventy-two Non-PCOS women, 41 obese and 31 normal weight, constituted a control group. Body mass, height and waist circumference as well as body composition by bioimpedance were measured. In the morning (16h after the last meal) we determined: serum glucose, insulin, androgens, gonadotropin (LH, FSH) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) as well as plasma vaspin levels. Standard HOMA-IR formula was used to assess insulin resistance (IR). + + RESULTS: Plasma vaspin levels were significantly lower in PCOS, both normal weight and obese, than in Non-PCOS groups. Vaspin levels were similar in normal weight and obese PCOS subgroups. There was no association between plasma vaspin levels and anthropometric parameters in PCOS group. While in Non-PCOS group a negative correlation between plasma vaspin levels and body mass (r = -0.26; p < 0.05) was found. We did not observe correlations between plasma vaspin levels and serum glucose and insulin concentrations as well as HOMA-IR values, however, in multivariable, stepwise backward regression waist circumference and HOMA-IR values explained 18.0% of plasma vaspin levels variability in the study subjects. + + CONCLUSIONS: PCOS occurrence is associated with decreased vaspin levels. The influence of nutritional status on vaspin level observed in Non-PCOS is abolished in PCOS women, possibly by more severe insulin resistance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (SERPINA12 protein, human). 0 (Serpins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The adipokine potential significance as prognostic markers of rehabilitation outcomes was also verified. + + METHODS: Twenty obese post-acute stroke patients before and after neurorehabilitation and thirteen obese volunteers without-stroke, as controls, were examined. Adipokines were determined by commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Functional deficits were assessed before and after neurorehabilitation with the Barthel Index (BI), modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and Functional Independence Measure (FIM). + + RESULTS: Compared to controls, higher leptin and resistin values and lower adiponectin values were observed in stroke patients before neurorehabilitation and no correlations were found between adipokines and clinical outcome measures. Neurorehabilitation was associated with improved scores of BI, mRS, and FIM. After neurorehabilitation, decreased values of Body Mass Index (BMI) and resistin together increased adiponectin were detected in stroke patients, while leptin decreased but not statistically. Comparing adipokine values assessed before neurorehabilitation with the outcome measures after neurorehabilitation, correlations were observed for leptin with BI-score, mRS-score, and FIM-score. No other adipokine levels nor BMI assessed before neurorehabilitation correlated with the clinical measures after neurorehabilitation. The forward stepwise regression analysis identified leptin as prognostic factor for BI, mRS, and FIM. + + CONCLUSION: Our data show the effectiveness of neurorehabilitation in modulating adipokines levels and suggest that leptin could assume the significance of biomarker of functional recovery.

Obesity is associated with lower plasma concentrations of natriuretic peptides. The associations between obesity and neurohormonal activation estimated by mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) and copeptin in patients with HF is not elucidated. + + Methods: This prospective cohort-study included 392 outpatients >=60years, plus >=1 risk-factor(-s) for HF (hypertension, ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, chronic kidney disease), and without known HF. Patients were categorized 'non-obese' BMI = 18.5-29.9 kg/m2 (n = 273) and 'obese' BMI >= 30 kg/m2 (n = 119). The diagnosis of HF required signs, symptoms, and abnormal echocardiography. NT-proBNP, MR-proANP, MR-proADM, and copeptin were analyzed. + + Results: Obese patients were younger, had a higher prevalence of diabetes and chronic kidney disease, but a lower prevalence of atrial fibrillation. A total of 39 (14.3%) non-obese and 26 (21.8%) obese patients were diagnosed with HF. In obese patients, HF was not associated with higher plasma concentrations of NT-proBNP (Estimate: 0.063; 95%CI: -0.037-1.300; P = 0.064), MR-proANP (Estimate: 0.207; 95%CI: -0.101-0.515; P = 0.187), MR-proADM (Estimate: 0.112; 95%CI: -0.047-0.271; P = 0.168), or copeptin (Estimate: 0.093; 95%CI: -0.333-0.518; P = 0.669). Additionally, obese patients with HF had lower plasma concentrations of NT-proBNP (Estimate: -0.998; 95%CI: -1.778-0.218; P = 0.012), and MR-proANP (Estimate: -0.488; 95%CI: -0.845-0.132; P = 0.007) compared to non-obese patients with HF, whereas plasma concentrations of MR-proADM (Estimate: 0.066; 95%CI: -0.119-0.250; P = 0.484) and copeptin (Estimate: 0.140; 95%CI: -0.354-0.633; P = 0.578) were comparable. + + Conclusions: Patients with obesity-related HF have natriuretic peptide deficiency and lack of increased plasma concentrations of MR-proADM and copeptin suggesting that patients with obesity-related HF have a blunted overall neurohormonal activity.

Obesity induces chronic low-grade inflammation in white adipose tissue (WAT). However, the function and regulation of both innate and adaptive immune cells in human WAT under conditions of obesity and calorie restriction (CR) is not fully understood yet. Using a randomized interventional design, we investigated postmenopausal overweight or obese female subjects who either underwent CR for 3 mo followed by a 4-wk phase of weight maintenance or had to maintain a stable weight over the whole study period. A comprehensive immune phenotyping protocol was conducted using validated multiparameter flow cytometry analysis in blood and s.c. WAT (SAT). The TCR repertoire was analyzed by next-generation sequencing and cytokine levels were determined in SAT. Metabolic parameters were determined by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. We found that insulin resistance correlates significantly with a shift toward the memory T cell compartment in SAT. TCR analysis revealed a diverse repertoire in SAT of overweight or obese individuals. Additionally, whereas weight loss improved systemic insulin sensitivity in the intervention group, SAT displayed no significant improvement of inflammatory parameters (cytokine levels and leukocyte subpopulations) compared with the control group. Our data demonstrate the accumulation of effector memory T cells in obese SAT and an association between systemic glucose homeostasis and inflammatory parameters in obese females. The long-standing effect of obesity-induced changes in SAT was demonstrated by preserved immune cell composition after short-term CR-induced weight loss.

To understand the factors associated with a worse evolution of COVID-19, we analyzed comorbidities, indicators of inflammation such as CRP and the ratio of neutrophils/lymphocytes, as well as the count of blood cells with T-lymphocyte subtypes in 172 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients were grouped according to their needs for mechanical ventilation (ICU care) or not. Within the comorbidities studied, obesity was the only associated with greater severity and ICU admission. Both the percentage and the absolute number of neutrophils were higher in patients needing ICU care than non-ICU patients, whereas absolute lymphocyte count, and especially the percentage of lymphocytes, presented a deep decline in critical patients. There was no difference between the two groups of patients for CD4 T-lymphocytes, neither in percentage of lymphocyte nor in absolute number, however for CD8 T-cells the differences were significant for both parameters which were in decline in ICU patients. There was a firm correlation between the highest values of inflammation indicators with the decrease in percentage of CD8 T-lymphocytes. This effect was not seen with CD4 cells. Obesity together with lymphopenia, especially whether preferentially affects to CD8 T- lymphocytes, are factors that can predict a poor prognosis in patients with COVID-19.

Objectives: To prospectively test for EPA phenotype and utility of baseline blood measures of eosinophils and IL-6 as predictive biomarkers. Methods: Three-year asthma exacerbation data were analyzed in 406 adults in the Severe Asthma Research Program-3. Transition models were used to assess uninformed and informed probabilities of exacerbation in year 3. Binomial regression models were used to assess eosinophils and IL-6 as predictive biomarkers. Measurements and Main Results: Eighty-three participants (21%) had >=1 exacerbation in each year (EPA) and 168 participants (41%) had no exacerbation in any year (exacerbation-resistant asthma). The uninformed probability of an exacerbation in Year 3 was 40%, but the informed probability increased to 63% with an exacerbation in Year 2 and 82% with an exacerbation in Years 1 and 2. The probability of a Year 3 exacerbation with no Year 1 or 2 exacerbations was 13%. Compared with exacerbation-resistant asthma, EPA was characterized by lower FEV1 and a higher prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. High-plasma IL-6 occurred in EPA, and the incident rate ratio for exacerbation increased 10% for each 1-pg/mul increase in baseline IL-6 level. Although high blood eosinophils did not occur in EPA, the incident rate ratio for exacerbations increased 9% for each 100-cell/mul increase in baseline eosinophil number. Conclusions: Longitudinal analysis confirms an EPA phenotype characterized by features of metabolic dysfunction. Blood measures of IL-6, but not eosinophils, were significantly associated with EPA, and IL-6 and eosinophils predicted exacerbations in the sample as a whole. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (IL6 protein, human). 0 (Interleukin-6). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

During obesity, dysregulations of adipose tissue induce an increase in pro-inflammatory adipokine secretions, such as leptin and oestrogen secretions. Furthermore, a raise in oxidative stress, along with a decrease in antioxidant capacity, induces and maintains chronic inflammation, which creates a permissive environment for cancer development. Physical activity is recommended as a non-pharmacological therapy in both obese and cancer situations. Physical activity is associated with a moderation of acute inflammation, higher antioxidant defences and adipokine regulation, linked to a decrease of tumour-cell proliferation. However, the biological mechanisms underlying the relationship between oxidative stress, low-grade inflammation, carcinogenesis, obesity and physical activity are poorly understood. Our study is based on old, ovariectomised mice (C57BL/6J mice, 33 weeks old), fed with a high fat diet which increases adipose tissue favouring overweight and obesity, and housed in either an enriched environment, promoting physical activity and social interactions, or a standard environment constituting close to sedentary conditions. Our model of mammary carcinogenesis allowed for the exploration of tissue secretions and signalling pathway activation as well as the oxidative status in tumours to clarify the mechanisms involved in a multiple factorial analysis of the data set. The multiple factorial analysis demonstrated that the most important variables linked to moderate, spontaneous physical activity were the increase in growth factor (epithelial growth factor (EGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)) and the activation of the signalling pathways (STAT3, c-jun n-terminal kinases (JNK), EKR1/2, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB)) in the gastrocnemius (G). In inguinal adipose tissue, the NF-kappaB inflammation pathway was activated, increasing the IL-6 content. The adiponectin plasma (P) level increased and presented an inverse correlation with tumour oxidative status. Altogether, these results demonstrated that spontaneous physical activity in obesity conditions could slow down tumour growth through crosstalk between muscle, adipose tissue and tumour. A spontaneous moderate physical activity was able to modify the inter-organ exchange in a paracrine manner. The different tissues changed their signalling pathways and adipokine/cytokine secretions, such as adiponectin and leptin, resulting in a decrease in anti-oxidative response and inflammation in the tumour environment. This model showed that moderate, spontaneous physical activity suppresses tumour growth via a dialogue between the organs close to the tumour. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (HGF protein, mouse). 67256-21-7 (Hepatocyte Growth Factor). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This condition generates a process of systemic inflammation that may contribute to the release of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) into the bloodstream. cfDNA has been considered a potential biomarker to monitor several physiological and pathological conditions, such as tumors, exercise intensity and obesity. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the association of cfDNA levels with the amount of weight and fat mass lost six months after bariatric surgery. Thirty-eight subjects classified as obese (BMI, 43.5+/-6.2; BFP, 46.6+/-4.8) were evaluated anthropometrically and underwent bariatric surgery. Weight, BMI, body fat percentage (BFP), waist circumference, C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and cfDNA levels were evaluated before and six months after surgery; furthermore, a correlation was performed between cfDNA levels and BFP and CRP. Decrease in total body weight and CRP were observed after bariatric surgery; however, the cfDNA levels remained unchanged. There was a weak correlation between cfDNA levels and BFP before the bariatric surgery, and a moderate correlation between cfDNA and CRP. Obese subjects who underwent bariatric surgery, the decrease in body fat percentage did not result in changes in cfDNA levels six months after surgery. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cell-Free Nucleic Acids). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.33549%2fphysiolres.934242 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Camuzi+Zovico&issn=0862-8408&title=Physiological+Research&atitle=Cell-free+DNA+as+an+obesity+biomarker.&volume=69&issue=3&spage=515&epage=520&date=2020&doi=10.33549%2Fphysiolres.934242&pmid=32469237&sid=OVID:medline + +<1314> +Unique Identifier + 32464183 +Title + Urinary markers of nucleic acid oxidation increase with age, obesity and insulin resistance in Danish children and adolescents. +Source + Free Radical Biology & Medicine. 155:81-86, 2020 08 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Jors A; Lund MAV; Jespersen T; Hansen T; Poulsen HE; Holm JC +Authors Full Name + Jors, Anna; Lund, Morten A V; Jespersen, Thomas; Hansen, Torben; Poulsen, Henrik E; Holm, Jens-Christian. +Institution + Jors, Anna.

This study investigates the associations between urinary markers of nucleic acid oxidation and Body Mass Index (BMI), age, sex and cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents with and without obesity. + + METHODS: We studied 543 children and adolescents from an obesity clinic cohort (n = 418) and a population-based cohort (n = 125), all aged 6-18 years. Anthropometrics, urine and blood samples were collected. A validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was used to measure the nucleic acid oxidation markers. + + RESULTS: Compared with the population-based cohort, children and adolescents in the obesity clinic cohort had higher calculated 24-h excretion of 8-oxoGuo (p = 0.045) and 8-oxodG (p = 0.014) adjusted for basal metabolic rate. Both oxidation markers were positively associated with age and female sex (all p < 0.002). In the obesity clinic cohort the RNA oxidation marker 8-oxoGuo correlated with serum insulin (rho = 0.18, p = <.001) and insulin resistance (rho = 0.19, p = <.001). + + CONCLUSIONS: Childhood obesity associate with higher urinary excretion of nucleic acid oxidation biomarkers, and increase with age throughout childhood, mirroring the obesity- and age-related increase shown in adults.

Anti-inflammatory therapy in cardiovascular disease is being developed under the assumption that inflammatory pathways are identical in women and men, but it is not known if this is indeed the case. In this study, we assessed the sex-specific relation between inflammation and metabolic dysregulation in obesity. Approach and Results: Three hundred two individuals were included, half with a BMI 27 to 30 kg/m2 and half with a BMI>30 kg/m2, 45% were women. The presence of metabolic syndrome was assessed according to the National Cholesterol Education Program-ATPIII criteria, and inflammation was studied using circulating markers of inflammation, cell counts, and ex vivo cytokine production capacity of isolated immune cells. Additionally, lipidomic and metabolomic data were gathered, and subcutaneous fat biopsies were histologically assessed. Metabolic syndrome is associated with an increased inflammatory profile that profoundly differs between women and men: women with metabolic syndrome show a lower concentration of the anti-inflammatory adiponectin, whereas men show increased levels of several pro-inflammatory markers such as IL (interleukin)-6 and leptin. Adipose tissue inflammation showed similar sex-specific associations with these markers. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from men, but not women, with metabolic syndrome display enhanced cytokine production capacity. + + CONCLUSIONS: We identified sex-specific pathways that influence inflammation in obesity. Excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines was observed in men with metabolic syndrome. In contrast, women typically showed reduced levels of the anti-inflammatory adipokine adiponectin. These different mechanisms of inflammatory dysregulation between women and men with obesity argue for sex-specific therapeutic strategies. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (IL6 protein, human). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (LEP protein, human). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

According to the American Cancer Society, pancreatic cancer (PC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. The relationship among obesity, T2DM and PC is complex. Due to increase in obesity, diabetes, alcohol consumption and sedentary lifestyle, the mortality due to PC is expected to rise significantly by year 2040. The underlying mechanisms by which diabetes and obesity contribute to pancreatic tumorigenesis are not well understood. Furthermore, metabolism and microenvironment within the pancreas can also modulate pancreatic carcinogenesis. The risk of PC on a population level may be reduced by modifiable lifestyle risk factors. In this review, the interactions of diabetes and obesity to PC development were summarized, and novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of diabetes and PC were discussed.

Data on Mongolian diets are lacking, and these risks are poorly quantified. The purpose of this study was to provide a multifaceted nutritional analysis of the modern Mongolian diet. (2) Methods: The study population consisted of 167 male and 167 female healthy non-pregnant urban and nomadic adults (22-55 years) randomly selected from lists of residents in 8 regions. From 2011-2016, 3-day weighed diet records and serum were collected twice from each participant in summer and winter; anthropometry was collected once from each participant. Serum was analyzed for biomarkers, and nutrient intake computed using purpose-built food composition data and adjusted for within-person variation. Exploratory dietary patterns were derived and analyzed for associations with diet and nutrition measurements. (3) Results: We collected 1838 of an expected 1986 diet records (92.5%), 610/658 serum samples (92.7%), and 315/334 height and weight measurements (94.3%). Sixty-one percent of men and 51% of women were overweight or obese. Consumption of red meat, refined grains, and whole-fat dairy was high, while that of fruits, non-tuberous vegetables, eggs, nuts and seeds, fish and poultry, and whole grains was low. Dairy and red meat were more consumed in summer and winter, respectively. Dietary inadequacy of 10 of 21 assessed nutrients, including fiber, folate, and vitamin D were >50% prevalent, while protein, zinc, and vitamin B12 inadequacy were low. Biochemical evidence of iron and vitamin A deficiency was also low. Three dietary patterns (Urban, Transitional, Nomadic) explained 41% of variation in food consumption. The Urban pattern was positively associated with BMI in multivariate analysis. (4) Conclusions: Results indicate a high prevalence of key dietary inadequacies and overweight among Mongolian adults. Prior studies by our group have suggested that expanded supplementation and food fortification would be effective in addressing micronutrient inadequacies; these strategies should be coupled with measures to mitigate the growing burden of chronic disease. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Fats). 0 (Dietary Fiber). 0 (Micronutrients). 0 (Vitamins). 935E97BOY8 (Folic Acid).

Thus, this study aims to analyse the impact of moderate weight loss on bone marrow fat content (BMFC) in obese, healthy individuals. + + METHODS: Data of the HELENA-Trial (Healthy nutrition and energy restriction as cancer prevention strategies: a randomized controlled intervention trial), a randomized controlled trial (RCT) among 137 non-smoking, overweight or obese participants, were analysed to quantify the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-derived BMFC at baseline, after a 12-week dietary intervention phase, and after a 50-week follow-up. The study cohort was classified into quartiles based on changes in body weight between baseline and week 12. Changes in BMFC in respect of weight loss were analysed by linear mixed models. Spearman's coefficients were used to assess correlations between anthropometric parameters, blood biochemical markers, blood cells and BMFC. + + RESULTS: Relative changes in BMFC from baseline to week 12 were 0.0 +/- 0.2%, -3.2 +/- 0.1%, -6.1 +/- 0.2% and -11.5 +/- 0.6% for Q1 to Q4. Across all four quartiles and for the two-group comparison, Q1 versus Q4, there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) for changes in BMFC. BMFC was not associated with blood cell counts and showed only weaker correlations (<0.3) with metabolic biomarkers. + + CONCLUSION: Weight loss is associated with a decrease of BMFC. However, BMFC showed no stronger associations with inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fats). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The risk for type 2 diabetes was analyzed according to the cumulative exposure to obesity and MetS among individuals who underwent four health examinations from 2009 to 2012 or 2013 (n = 2,851,745). + + RESULTS: During examinations, 28.56 and 17.86% of the total participants showed fluctuations in metabolic health state and obesity, respectively. During a mean 5.01 years of follow up, 98,950 new type 2 diabetes cases developed. The risk for type 2 diabetes increased with the increase in exposure to MetS (hazard ratio [HR] 2.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.86-2.99; HR 4.96, 95% CI 4.85-5.08; HR 7.46, 95% CI 7.30-7.63; HR 12.24, 95% CI 12.00-12.49 in groups with number of exposures one to four, respectively) and obesity (HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.56-1.65; HR 1.87, 95% CI 1.81-1.92; HR 2.25, 95% CI 2.19-2.31; HR 3.46, 95% CI 3.41-3.51 in groups with number of exposures one to four, respectively), showing a more detrimental effect of cumulative exposure to MetS, when compared with the exposure to obesity. + + CONCLUSIONS: Metabolic health and obesity fluctuated within a relatively short period of 4-5 years. Although the impact was much greater for MetS than for obesity, the cumulative duration of both obesity and MetS was associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in a dose-response manner. Therefore, continuously maintaining metabolic health and normal weight is crucial to prevent incident type 2 diabetes. Copyright © 2020 The Authors.

This study aimed to investigate relationships of serum adiponectin, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), interleukin (IL)-6, and physical performance in knee OA patients. A total of 175 knee OA patients and 52 healthy controls were recruited. Serum adiponectin, 25(OH)D, IL-6, biochemical markers, knee pain and functional scores, muscle strength, physical performance, metabolic parameters, and body composition were evaluated. Serum adiponectin levels were significantly higher in knee OA patients than that in controls, while its serum levels were significantly decreased in obese patients, especially those with sarcopenia. Furthermore, there were independent relationships of serum adiponectin with body composition parameters, knee pain scores, physical function tests, and metabolic parameters in knee OA patients. Besides, serum adiponectin levels were positively associated with 25(OH)D levels, and negatively correlated with C-reactive protein and IL-6 levels in knee OA. Additionally, low serum adiponectin could be used to distinguish knee OA patients with sarcopenic obesity from those without sarcopenic obesity. Circulating adiponectin levels may serve as a possible surrogate biomarker for exacerbated physical function in knee OA patients-particularly sarcopenic obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-6). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med18&DO=10.1007%2fs00005-020-00580-8 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Udomsinprasert&issn=0004-069X&title=Archivum+Immunologiae+et+Therapiae+Experimentalis&atitle=Decreased+Serum+Adiponectin+Reflects+Low+Vitamin+D%2C+High+Interleukin+6%2C+and+Poor+Physical+Performance+in+Knee+Osteoarthritis.&volume=68&issue=3&spage=16&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.1007%2Fs00005-020-00580-8&pmid=32449055&sid=OVID:medline + +<1321> +Unique Identifier + 32446928 +Title + Effects of stem bark aqueous extract of Fagara tessmannii Engl (Rutaceae) on cardiovascular risks related to monosodium glutamate-induced obesity in rat: In vivo and in vitro assessments. +Source + Journal of Ethnopharmacology. 260:112972, 2020 Oct 05. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Fouda YB; Ngo Lemba Tom E; Atsamo AD; Bonabe C; Dimo T +Authors Full Name + Fouda, Yannick Bekono; Ngo Lemba Tom, Esther; Atsamo, Albert Donatien; Bonabe, Christian; Dimo, Theophile. +Institution + Fouda, Yannick Bekono.

It is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of tumors, swellings, inflammation, gonorrhoea, schistosomiasis, antifungal, heart diseases and as anti-hypertensive. + + AIM OF THE STUDY: We investigated the potential effects of F. tessmannii on cardiovascular risk related to monosodium glutamate-induced obesity. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Monosodium glutamate (MSG, 4 mg/g/day) was injected subcutaneously to newborn Wistar rats for the four consecutive first days of their life and on the 6th, 8th and 10th day after birth. After 21 weeks, obese rats were treated orally with F. tessmannii (100 or 200 mg/kg/day), orlistat (10 mg/kg/day) or telmisartan (10 mg/kg/day) for 6 weeks. Body weight, obesity, body mass index (BMI), Lee index, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, blood pressure, lipid profile as a Coronary Risk Index (CRI), and reactivity of isolated thoracic aorta were evaluated. + + RESULTS: In addition to significantly decrease body weight (17.60% and 20.34%), BMI, Lee's index, retroperitoneal fat, total adiposity, and coronary risk indicators, F. tessmannii has significantly decreased insulin resistance and hyperglycemia and high blood pressure observed in MSG-obese rats. The high contractility to phenylephrine as well as the hypersensitivity to sodium nitroprusside (a nitric oxide-donor), observed in MSG aortic rings were significantly reduced by the F. tessmannii extract. Enhanced serum Na+ and Cl- levels and decreased K+ observed in obese rats were also significantly reversed after F. tessmannii treatment. + + CONCLUSIONS: F. tessmannii fights against obesity and associated cardiovascular risks by modulating production and vascular responsiveness to vasoactive factors, monitoring premature aging. F. tessmannii promotes the loss of ectopic fat and other fatty tissues, the sensitivity of the peripherical tissues to insulin, the energy expenditure and the renovascular decompression and regulates ions movement which prevents hypertension.

Studies on the gene encoding ANP (NPPA) initiated the field of modern research into gene regulation in the cardiovascular system. Additionally, ANP and BNP were found to be the natural ligands for cell membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase receptors that mediate the effects of natriuretic peptides through the generation of intracellular cGMP, which interacts with specific enzymes and ion channels. Natriuretic peptides have many physiological actions and participate in numerous pathophysiological processes. Important clinical entities associated with natriuretic peptide research include heart failure, obesity and systemic hypertension. Plasma levels of natriuretic peptides have proven to be powerful diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of heart disease. Development of pharmacological agents that are based on natriuretic peptides is an area of active research, with vast potential benefits for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (midregional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, human). 0 (pro-brain natriuretic peptide (1-76)). 114471-18-0 (Natriuretic Peptide, Brain). 85637-73-6 (Atrial Natriuretic Factor).

Overexpression of one such miR, miR-181c, can lead to heart failure by stimulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and increasing mitochondrial calcium level ([Ca2+]m). Mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 protein (MICU1), a regulatory protein in the mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex, plays an important role in regulating [Ca2+]m. Obesity results in miR-181c overexpression and a decrease in MICU1. We hypothesize that lowering miR-181c would protect against obesity-induced cardiac dysfunction. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: We used an in vivo mouse model of high-fat diet (HFD) for 18 weeks and induced high lipid load in H9c2 cells with oleate-conjugated bovine serum albumin in vitro. We tested the cardioprotective role of lowering miR-181c by using miR-181c/d-/- mice (in vivo) and AntagomiR against miR-181c (in vitro). HFD significantly upregulated heart levels of miR-181c and led to cardiac hypertrophy in wild-type mice, but not in miR-181c/d-/- mice. HFD also increased ROS production and pyruvate dehydrogenase activity (a surrogate for [Ca2+]m), but the increases were alleviated in miR-181c/d-/- mice. Moreover, miR-181c/d-/- mice fed a HFD had higher levels of MICU1 than did wild-type mice fed a HFD, attenuating the rise in [Ca2+]m. Overexpression of miR-181c in neonatal ventricular cardiomyocytes (NMVM) caused increased ROS production, which oxidized transcription factor Sp1 and led to a loss of Sp1, thereby slowing MICU1 transcription. Hence, miR-181c increases [Ca2+]m through Sp1 oxidation and downregulation of MICU1, suggesting that the cardioprotective effect of miR-181c/d-/- results from inhibition of Sp1 oxidation. + + CONCLUSION: This study has identified a unique nuclear-mitochondrial communication mechanism in the heart orchestrated by miR-181c. Obesity-induced overexpression of miR-181c increases [Ca2+]m via downregulation of MICU1 and leads to cardiac injury. A strategy to inhibit miR-181c in cardiomyocytes can preserve cardiac function during obesity by improving mitochondrial function. Altering miR-181c expression may provide a pharmacologic approach to improve cardiomyopathy in individuals with obesity/type 2 diabetes. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

Previously, we have evaluated potential activity of PST inhibitor (PSTi8) in liver and adipose tissue in type 2 diabetic mice model. In this study we further explore the therapeutic effect of PSTi8 on glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle cells/tissue and its effect on energy homeostasis in diet induced diabetic mice model. In in-vitro studies, we found that PSTi8 increases glucose uptake via enhanced GLUT4 translocation in L6 cells. This positive effect of PSTi8 led us to proceed with in-vivo studies in diabetic mice. C57BL/6 mice were fed HFD or HFrD diet for 12 weeks along with single STZ induction at 4th week followed by PSTi8 treatment. We found that HFD and HFrD model showed increased fat mass, caused glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, with accompanying proinflammatory effect on epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) together leading to skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Administration of PSTi8 protects from diet induced inflammatory response and enhances glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. PSTi8 improves circulating adipokine and lipid parameters, along with switch in macrophage polarisation from M1 to M2 in stromal vascular fraction of adipose tissue. In addition, treatment of PSTi8 also improves energy homeostasis, decreases circulatory non-esterified fatty acids level and inhibits ceramide deposition in muscle tissue. Overall this increased muscle insulin sensitivity is mediated via AKT/AS160/GLUT4 pathway activation. Our results reveal that PSTi8 inhibits the obesity mediated inflammation which enhances glucose disposal in skeletal muscle. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

Many of the current research efforts are focused on the identification of specific microbial signatures, more particularly for those associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Some studies have described that the gut microbiota of obese animals and humans exhibits a higher Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio compared with normal-weight individuals, proposing this ratio as an eventual biomarker. Accordingly, the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio is frequently cited in the scientific literature as a hallmark of obesity. The aim of the present review was to discuss the validity of this potential marker, based on the great amount of contradictory results reported in the literature. Such discrepancies might be explained by the existence of interpretative bias generated by methodological differences in sample processing and DNA sequence analysis, or by the generally poor characterization of the recruited subjects and, more particularly, the lack of consideration of lifestyle-associated factors known to affect microbiota composition and/or diversity. For these reasons, it is currently difficult to associate the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio with a determined health status and more specifically to consider it as a hallmark of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, the association of NC with inter-muscular adipose tissue (IMAT) is still to be determined. We aimed to examine the association of NC with thigh IMAT, and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) measured with computed tomography (CT) in overweight/obese women. 142 premenopausal overweight and obese Caucasian women participated in this cross-sectional study. NC was measured with an inextensible metallic tape above the thyroid cartilage according to International Society for Advancement of Kinanthropometry protocol. Thigh IMAT and VAT volumes were measured with a single cross-sectional CT. Regarding the covariates, fat mass (FM) was assessed with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and physical activity was objectively measured with accelerometry. NC was positively associated with thigh IMAT and VAT volumes (standardized beta coefficient: beta = 0.45, P-value = <=0.001, beta = 0.60, P = <= 0.001; respectively), which persisted after adjusting for age, height, overall FM or moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Our findings show that NC is associated with thigh IMAT volume in overweight and obese premenopausal Caucasian women, regardless of the amount of lower-body fatness. These results suggest underscoring the relevance of NC as a marker of adipose tissue content in thigh skeletal muscle. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Serum lipids: Total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were lowered and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were increased by date seed methanolic extract (at 200 mg/kg) in triton WR1339 -induced hyperlipidaemia in experimental rats. Chronic feeding of these extracts (at 200 mg/kg), to animals concurrently fed with high fat diet (HFD) for three weeks, caused a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels and atherogenic index, while it increased serum HDL-C. Furthermore, the supplementation of date seed extract was effective in preventing body weight gain. + + CONCLUSIONS: These findings are suggestive of hypolipidaemic and atherosclerosis prevention roles of Jihel and Majhoul date seeds.

We recruited 244 participants from Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology and Department of Cardiology, Sargodha District Head Quarter Teaching Hospital, Pakistan. Out of 244 participants, 144 cases were CVD patients and 100 were healthy controls. CVD patients were further divided into 111 coronary artery disease (CAD) and 33 cardiomyopathy (CMP) patients. Assessment of variant specific polymorphism/mutation of Pro/Pro and Pro/Ala genotypes was done through amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR). Further, serum biomarkers were measured to investigate the association among risk factors of DM and Pro/Ala polymorphism in PPAR-gamma gene. About 31.5% Pro/Ala genotype was found in CVD patients out of which 22.5% were CAD patients and 9% were CMP patients. As a result, obesity, hypertension and smoking (35%, 23%, 21%, respectively) were observed to be the most critical risk factors accompanying Pro/Ala mutation in PPAR-gamma particularly in CAD patients as compared to that in CMP patients. A similar pattern of association was observed among the elevated levels of glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride and ALT with Pro/Ala mutation in CAD patients. Further, CAD patients using ACE inhibitors (18%) and beta-blockers (13%) were found to be the carriers of Pro/Ala genotype and also showed significant increase in glucose level. This study suggests that hyperglycaemia in CAD patients particularly obese, smokers and hypertensives having Pro/Ala polymorphism in PPAR-gamma gene are at high risk of developing DM as clearly observed by hyperglycaemia in CAD patients.

We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 3732 diabetic patients who underwent a 100 g carbohydrate meal test. Insulin secretion was estimated using HOMA-B of steady state as well as C0-30 /G0-30 , AUCc30-120 /AUCG30-120 and CPIn for dynamic state. Body weight index, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio and body surface area were recorded. The final analysis included 2873 T2DM patients. Correlation analyses showed that there was a poor correlation between diabetic duration and CPI30 (r = -.040, P < .05), and there were no remarkable changes in the correlation coefficient after CPI30 was divided by BMI, WC, WHR, or body surface area, respectively. The same was found for the correlation between HbA1c and CPI120 with these measures. The main determinants of diabetic duration were age (beta = 0.388, P < .001), log HOMA-IR (beta = -0.328, P < .001), CPI30 (beta = -0.045, P = .011). There were no remarkable changes in beta weights between diabetic duration and CPI30 when it was corrected with anthropometric markers in the multiple stepwise linear regression analyses. The same was found between HbA1c and CPI120 . CPI30 and CPI120 are more practical indexes. Correcting the indices used to estimate the beta cell function by anthropometric markers of obesity may not improve their correlations with diabetic duration or HbA1c in a diabetic population.

This study investigated the prevalence of Adv36 seropositivity and its association with obesity and diabetes among adults attending a diabetes centre in the UAE. Participants (N = 973) with different weight and glucose tolerance categories were recruited. Adv36 seropositivity (Adv36 + ) was assessed using ELISA. Differences among groups were analyzed using statistical tests as appropriate to the data. Prevalence of Adv36+ in the study population was 47%, with no significant difference in obese and non-obese subgroups (42.5% vs 49.6% respectively; p=non-significant). Females were more likely to be Adv36+ compared to males (odds ratio 1.78; 95% CI 1.36-2.32, p < 0.001). We found no significant association between Adv36 seropositivity and different BMI categories, or glucose tolerance status. In our population, the effect of Adv36 infection on lipid profile varied between healthy individuals and individuals with obesity. Adv36 infection is more prevalent in the UAE than in other countries but has no association with obesity. Our study found that females were more likely to be Adv36 positive regardless of weight or diabetes status. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Lipedema is usually underdiagnosed, thus remaining an undertreated disease. Importantly, no histopathologic or molecular hallmarks exist to clearly diagnose the disease, which is often misinterpreted as obesity or lymphedema. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: The aim of the present study is to characterize in detail morphologic and molecular alterations in the adipose tissue composition of lipedema patients compared with healthy controls. Detailed histopathologic and molecular characterization was performed using lipid and cytokine quantification as well as gene expression arrays. The analysis was conducted on anatomically matched skin and fat tissue biopsies as well as fasting serum probes obtained from 10 lipedema and 11 gender and body mass index-matched control patients. + + RESULTS: Histologic evaluation of the adipose tissue showed increased intercellular fibrosis and adipocyte hypertrophy. Serum analysis showed an aberrant lipid metabolism without changes in the circulating adipokines. In an adipogenesis gene array, a distinct gene expression profile associated with macrophages was observed. Histologic assessment of the immune cell infiltrate confirmed the increased presence of macrophages, without changes in the T-cell compartment. + + CONCLUSIONS: Lipedema presents a distinguishable disease with typical tissue architecture and aberrant lipid metabolism, different to obesity or lymphedema. The differentially expressed genes and immune cell infiltration profile in lipedema patients further support these findings. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

Further, protein biomarkers might be useful for predicting weight loss in overweight and obese individuals. We performed secondary analyses in the Diet Intervention Examining The Factors Interacting with Treatment Success (DIETFITS) randomized intervention trial that included healthy 609 adults (18-50 years old) with BMI 28-40 kg/m2, to evaluate associations between circulating protein biomarkers and BMI at baseline, during a weight loss diet intervention, and to assess predictive potential of baseline blood proteins on weight loss. We analyzed 263 plasma proteins at baseline and 6 months into the intervention using the Olink Proteomics CVD II, CVD III and Inflammation arrays. BMI was assessed at baseline, after 3 and 6 months of dietary intervention. At baseline, 102 of the examined inflammatory and cardiovascular biomarkers were associated with BMI (>90% with successful replication in 1,584 overweight/obese individuals from a community-based cohort study) and 130 tracked with weight loss shedding light into the pathophysiology of obesity. However, out of 263 proteins analyzed at baseline, only fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) predicted weight loss, and none helped individualize dietary assignment. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Proteome). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Nevertheless, limited data are available regarding the effects of physical activity (PA) intensity on the ability to modulate IRS. The study aim was to investigate the beneficial effects of the longer duration of light PA vs. a single bout of the acute moderate or vigorous PA for improvement in IRS indicators. Sixty metabolically healthy obese (MHO) participants, 30 males and 30 females, with body mass index (BMI) of >=30 were enrolled in this study. PA levels were measured using an accelerometer, and the expression of monocytic surface markers was analyzed using flow cytometry. Plasma cytokines' secretion was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Univariate regression analysis evaluated the actigraphy-assessed PA measures, inflammatory cytokines, and insulin resistance. The longer duration of PA was found to be associated with the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), a lower lipid profile, and the expression of inflammatory cytokines by monocytes. Even though, higher intensities of PA were found to be associated with lower body fat percentage, only the light intensity PA was found to be beneficial as it associated with the improved insulin sensitivity and lower expression of inflammatory markers. In conclusion, maintaining the longer duration of low-intensity PA throughout the day could be more beneficial for reducing inflammation and improving insulin resistance. This study supports a more feasible approach model to gain beneficial lifestyle changes for the prevention of IRS in metabolically healthy adults with obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antigens, CD). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This study investigated the effect of the association and potential interaction of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and other factors on the risk of hypertension among Chinese nondiabetic adults. + + METHODS: As a cross-sectional survey, the current work deployed a questionnaire survey, anthropometric tests, and biochemical measures for each of the eligible participants. The HbA1c levels were quantified and grouped by quartiles. Correlations between HbA1c and hypertension, isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), and isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) risk were investigated by logistic analyses. For evaluating the interactive effects, the parameters of relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion due to interaction (AP), and synergy index (SI) were calculated, respectively. + + RESULTS: In the current study, 1462 nondiabetic subjects were enrolled. In total, the prevalence rates of hypertension, ISH and IDH were 22.4, 9.6 and 4.5%, respectively. When HbA1c levels were grouped by quartile, it was revealed that the prevalence rates of hypertension and ISH were substantially elevated across groups (Pfor trend < 0.001). In the multivariable logistic regression analyses, in comparison with the first quartile of HbA1c, the normalized OR for hypertension risk was 1.90 (95% CI: 1.28-2.80) for the highest quartile. Also, the risk of ISH was significantly increased with HbA1c level in the highest quartile relative to in the bottom quartile (OR: 2.23,95% CI:1.47-3.71). However, no significant relationship between the HbA1c level and IDH risk was observed (OR: 1.78, 95% CI: 0.82-3.84). Eventually, it was demonstrated from the interactive effect analysis that HbA1c significantly interacted with abdominal obesity (RERI: 1.48, 95% CI: 0.38-2.58; AP: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.14-0.60 and SI: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.06-3.62) and family history of hypertension (AP: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.05-0.70) in influencing the risk of hypertension in nondiabetic participants. + + CONCLUSION: Higher HbA1c levels significantly enhanced the risk of hypertension and ISH, but not IDH among Chinese nondiabetic adults. Moreover, the risk of hypertension was also aggravated by the upregulated HbA1c in a synergistic manner alongside abdominal obesity and family history of hypertension. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

In the first stage, participants performed 1 set of 10 to 15 repetitions in each of eight exercises, whereas in the second stage, they performed 2 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions. Body fat was estimated by DXA, while biochemical analyses were performed on venous blood samples collected in the morning hours after a 12 hours' fasting and after a minimum of 48 hours since the last physical exercise session. + + RESULTS: After the 24 weeks of RT, only G3x significantly reduced body fat mass (G2x=0.0%; G3x=-5.1%), whereas both G2x and G3x reduced blood glucose and C-reactive protein levels. Both groups improved HDL-C after the first 12-week stage compared to baseline, although the changes from pre- to post-training were not significantly different between groups. No significant difference was observed compared to baseline for total cholesterol, VLDL-C, LDL-C, and triglycerides for either group. + + CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that RT-induced changes in health markers may occur regardless of RT frequency, whereas performing RT three times per week may be needed for reducing total body fat mass in older women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fats). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

We investigated whether acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), targeted on psychological flexibility (PF), influences inflammation and stress biomarkers among working-age adults with psychological distress and overweight/obesity. + + METHOD: Participants were randomized into three parallel groups: (1) ACT-based face-to-face (n = 65; six group sessions led by a psychologist), (2) ACT-based mobile (n = 73; one group session and mobile app), and (3) control (n = 66; only the measurements). Systemic inflammation and stress markers were analyzed at baseline, at 10 weeks after the baseline (post-intervention), and at 36 weeks after the baseline (follow-up). General PF and weight-related PF were measured with questionnaires (Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire for Weight-Related Difficulties). + + RESULTS: A group x time interaction (p = .012) was detected in the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level but not in other inflammation and stress biomarkers. hsCRP decreased significantly in the face-to-face group from week 0 to week 36, and at week 36, hsCRP was lower among the participants in the face-to-face group than in the mobile group (p = .035, post hoc test). Age and sex were stronger predictors of biomarker levels at follow-up than the post-intervention PF. + + CONCLUSION: The results suggest that ACT delivered in group sessions may exert beneficial effects on low-grade systemic inflammation. More research is needed on how to best apply psychological interventions for the health of both mind and body among people with overweight/obesity and psychological distress. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01738256, Registered 17 August, 2012. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of MetS and its correlation with comorbidities and health related quality of life (HRQoL) in South Indian patients with COPD. + + METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the 76 COPD patients. Pulmonary function test (PFT) and parameters for MetS such as waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides (TGs) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels of COPD patients were measured. HRQoL was calculated using Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). + + RESULTS: 54% of COPD patients were presented with MetS especially in stage II and III. TGs and HDL-C were significantly associated with the severity of COPD (p < 0.05), while waist circumference, TGs and HDL-C were significantly (p < 0.05) correlated with PFT. Symptom, activity, impact and total scores of SGRQ was increased statistically (p < 0.05) in COPD patients with MetS than without MetS. + + CONCLUSION: According to our findings, screening the grade II and III COPD patients for the presence of MetS is a reasonable option. The results of this study should be confirmed with a larger sample of population. Copyright © 2020 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The intake of plain, mineral or biocompatible modified waters was shown to prevent some MetS features. This study was designed to analyze, in mice fed a high fat and sucrose diet (HFSD), the effects on MetS features of the daily intake of a reverse osmosed, weakly remineralized, water (OW) and of an OW dynamized by a physical processing (ODW), compared to tap water (TW). The HFSD was effective at inducing major features of MetS such as obesity, hepatic steatosis and inflammation, blood dyslipidemia, systemic glucose intolerance and muscle insulin resistance. Compared to TW, OW intake decreased hepatic fibrosis and inflammation, and mitigated hepatic steatosis and dyslipidemia. ODW intake further improved skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity and systemic glucose tolerance. This study highlights the deleterious metabolic impacts of the daily intake of TW, in combination with a high energy diet, and its possible involvement in MetS prevalence increase. In addition, it demonstrates that biocompatible modified water may be promising non-pharmaceutical, cost-effective tools for nutritional approaches in the treatment of MetS.

This study aims to assess whether these early markers are elevated in children with obesity and normal serum creatinine (SCr). + + METHODS: Pediatric patients diagnosed with obesity were included (n = 105, ages 4-18 y) in this study. The patients were divided into three groups as follows: solely obese, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Serum cystatin-C, 24-h microalbuminuria, SCr and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were evaluated in all patients. All patients were examined with history, physical examination, laboratory analysis and ultrasonography evaluation. + + RESULTS: The findings showed that renal function, GFR and SCr levels were normal in all patients. There was microalbuminuria in six patients and SCysC was elevated in eight patients. There were also both elevated SCysC and microalbuminuria in eight patients. Significant elevations of both microalbuminuria and SCysC were detected in cases with type 2 diabetes (p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that SCysC may have a diagnostic value in early-renal insufficiency. Although there was not any statistically significant difference between groups in GFR, significant elevations for both microalbuminuria and SCysC in patients with type 2 diabetes were detected. This suggests that the risk factors of diabetes may have a direct relation with renal damage. Regarding renal function in type 2 diabetic and obese pediatric patients, microalbuminuria and SCysC may be screened to observe early-renal damage, even in cases with normal GFR and SCr levels. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cystatin C).

Many studies have emphasized the importance of synaptic adhesion molecules in the formation of synapses, but their roles in physiology still await further characterization. Here, we found that the synaptic adhesion molecule Calsyntenin-3 (CLSTN3) regulates energy and bone homeostasis. Clstn3 global knockout mice show reduced body mass with improved leptin sensitivity and increased energy expenditure compared to their wild-type littermates. In addition, Clstn3 knockout mice show reduced marrow volume and cortical bone mass without alteration of trabecular bone microarchitecture. This reduced bone mass is not bone cell-autonomous because neither osteoblast- nor osteoclast-specific Clstn3 knockout mice show bone defects; similarly, in vitro cultures of both Clstn3 knockout osteoblasts and osteoclasts do not show any defects. These reduced body and bone mass phenotypes can be attributed instead to neuronal CLSTN3 because they are recapitulated by pan-neuronal but not sympathetic neuron-specific deletion of Clstn3. This study reveals novel physiological functions of neuronal Clstn3 as a key regulator of energy and bone homeostasis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Calcium-Binding Proteins). 0 (Clstn3 protein, mouse). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Membrane Proteins).

Sixty-eight overweight and obese subjects (BMI >= 27 and <40 kg/m2), with at least two risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a lipid panel blood tests, participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel designed study. The subjects consumed for 12 weeks: (1) 60 g/d control goat cheese and (2) 60 g/d goat cheese naturally enriched in n-3 PUFA and CLA. Diet and physical activity were assessed. Anthropometric and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) tests were performed. Blood samples were collected at the beginning and at the end of the study period. Changes in health status, lifestyle and dietary habits, and daily compliance were recorded. The consumption of a PUFA-enriched goat cheese significantly increased plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, as well as in apolipoprotein B, and it significantly decreased high-sensitivity C-reactive protein concentrations compared to the control goat cheese (p < 0.05). The significant improvement of the plasma lipid profile and inflammatory status of people with risk for CVD due to the consumption of PUFA-enriched cheese suggests a potential role of this dairy product as an alternative to develop high nutritional value food in a balanced diet comprising regular exercise. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Apolipoproteins B). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (Fatty Acids, Omega-3). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (apolipoprotein B (3304-3317)). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 9KJL21T0QJ (Linoleic Acid). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We examined whether skeletal muscle mass and abdominal obesity were synergistically associated with the prevalence of type 2 diabetes. + + METHODS: Skeletal muscle mass and waist circumference (WC) were measured in 1515 Japanese aged 40 to 69 years. Relative muscle mass was calculated as percentage of total skeletal muscle mass in body weight (SMM%). Type 2 diabetes was identified as fasting serum glucose >=7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL), nonfasting serum glucose >=11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL), glycosylated hemoglobin >= 6.5%, and/or diabetes medication use. + + RESULTS: The multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) of prevalent diabetes from the lowest to the third quartile of SMM% compared to the highest quartile gradually increased in both sexes. The association between a high WC and prevalent diabetes was similar. The multivariable-adjusted OR (95% confidence intervals) for the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the low skeletal muscle mass/high WC group was 3.19 (1.78-5.71) for men and 4.46 (2.09-9.51) for women compared with the high skeletal muscle mass/low WC group. The relative excess risk due to interaction was 2.2 (0.5-3.9) in men and 2.8 (0.2-5.3) in women for an excess burden of type 2 diabetes for low skeletal muscle mass and high WC. + + CONCLUSIONS: Low skeletal muscle mass and abdominal obesity were synergistically associated with presence of type 2 diabetes.

In the intestine, alteration of the intestinal barrier and accumulation of inflammatory cells in the epithelium are important contributors of gut inflammation. Recent studies demonstrated the role of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in the maintenance of immune cells at mucosal barrier sites. A wide range of ligands of external and local origin can activate this receptor. We studied the causal relationship between AhR activation and gut inflammation in obesity. + + METHODS: Jejunum samples from subjects with normal weight and severe obesity were phenotyped according to T lymphocyte infiltration in the epithelium from lamina propria and assayed for the mRNA level of AhR target genes. The effect of an AhR agonist was studied in mice and Caco-2/TC7 cells. AhR target gene expression, permeability to small molecules and ions, and location of cell-cell junction proteins were recorded under conditions of altered intestinal permeability. + + RESULTS: We showed that a low AhR tone correlated with a high inflammatory score in the intestinal epithelium in severe human obesity. Moreover, AhR activation protected junctional complexes in the intestinal epithelium in mice challenged by an oral lipid load. AhR ligands prevented chemically induced damage to barrier integrity and cytokine expression in Caco-2/TC7 cells. The PKC and p38MAPK signaling pathways were involved in this AhR action. + + CONCLUSIONS: The results of these series of human, mouse, and cell culture experiments demonstrate the protective effect of AhR activation in the intestine targeting particularly tight junctions and cytokine expression. We propose that AhR constitutes a valuable target to protect intestinal functions in metabolic diseases, which can be achieved in the future via food or drug ligands. Copyright © 2020 The Author(s).

However, the relationship between the incidence of diabetes mellitus and U-pH has not yet been fully addressed. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated the relationship between U-pH and the development of diabetes mellitus during a 10-year period in a general population of individuals who received annual health examinations in 2006 (n = 28,990). After exclusion of individuals with missing data, and those with diabetes mellitus and/or chronic kidney disease at baseline, a total of 12,476 individuals (men/women: 8,027/4,449) who received health examinations at least once during the period from 2007 to 2016 were recruited. The recruited individuals were divided into four groups according to their U-pH levels: groups of U-pH <=5.0, 5.5, 6.0 and >=6.5. + + RESULTS: During a 10-year period, 521 men (6.5%) and 132 women (3.0%) had new onset of diabetes mellitus. The cumulative incidence of diabetes mellitus was 7.5% (men/women: 9.3%/4.4%) per 100 person-years. The hazard ratios (HRs) in the U-pH <=5.0 (HR 1.93) and U-pH 5.5 groups (HR 1.46) were significantly higher than that in the U-pH >=6.5 group as a reference for men, but not for women. After adjustment of age, obesity, fasting glucose, smoking and alcohol drinking habits, family history of diabetes mellitus, and use of drugs for hypertension and dyslipidemia, HR in the U-pH <=5.0 group (HR 1.39) was significantly higher than that in the U-pH >=6.5 group for men, but not for women. + + CONCLUSIONS: Low U-pH predicts new onset of diabetes mellitus in a general population of men.

We investigated the safety of weekly oral fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) capsules from healthy lean donors and their ability to alter gut microbiota and improve metabolic outcomes in patients with obesity. + + METHODS AND FINDINGS: FMT-TRIM was a 12-week double-blind randomized placebo-controlled pilot trial of oral FMT capsules performed at a single US academic medical center. Between August 2016 and April 2018, we randomized 24 adults with obesity and mild-moderate insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance [HOMA-IR] between 2.0 and 8.0) to weekly healthy lean donor FMT versus placebo capsules for 6 weeks. The primary outcome, assessed by intention to treat, was change in insulin sensitivity between 0 and 6 weeks as measured by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamps. Additional metabolic parameters were evaluated at 0, 6, and 12 weeks, including HbA1c, body weight, body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and resting energy expenditure by indirect calorimetry. Fecal samples were serially collected and evaluated via 16S V4 rRNA sequencing. Our study population was 71% female, with an average baseline BMI of 38.8 +/- 6.7 kg/m2 and 41.3 +/- 5.1 kg/m2 in the FMT and placebo groups, respectively. There were no statistically significant improvements in insulin sensitivity in the FMT group compared to the placebo group (+5% +/- 12% in FMT group versus -3% +/- 32% in placebo group, mean difference 9%, 95% CI -5% to 28%, p = 0.16). There were no statistically significant differences between groups for most of the other secondary metabolic outcomes, including HOMA-IR (mean difference 0.2, 95% CI -0.9 to 0.9, p = 0.96) and body composition (lean mass mean difference -0.1 kg, 95% CI -1.9 to 1.6 kg, p = 0.87; fat mass mean difference 1.2 kg, 95% CI -0.6 to 3.0 kg, p = 0.18), over the 12-week study. We observed variable engraftment of donor bacterial groups among FMT recipients, which persisted throughout the 12-week study. There were no significant differences in adverse events (AEs) (10 versus 5, p = 0.09), and no serious AEs related to FMT. Limitations of this pilot study are the small sample size, inclusion of participants with relatively mild insulin resistance, and lack of concurrent dietary intervention. + + CONCLUSIONS: Weekly administration of FMT capsules in adults with obesity results in gut microbiota engraftment in most recipients for at least 12 weeks. Despite engraftment, we did not observe clinically significant metabolic effects during the study. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02530385. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Obesity is a risk factor for insulin resistance, but most obese adults do not have insulin resistance. Fitness may be protective, but the association between fitness, weight, and insulin resistance has not been studied in a large population of healthy adults. + + METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis of cardiorespiratory fitness, body mass index, and markers of insulin resistance was performed. Study participants were enrolled at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, Texas. The analysis included 19,263 women and 48,433 men with no history of diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured using exercise treadmill testing. Impaired fasting glucose (100-125 mg/dL) and elevated fasting triglycerides (>=150 mg/dL) were used as a markers of insulin resistance. + + RESULTS: Among individuals with normal weight, poor fitness was associated with 2.2-fold higher odds of insulin resistance in women (1.4-3.6; P = .001) and 2.8-fold higher odds in men (2.1-3.6; P <.001). The impact of fitness remained significant for overweight and obese individuals, with the highest risk group being the unfit obese. Among obese women, the odds ratio for insulin resistance was 11.0 for fit women (8.7-13.9; P <.001) and 20.3 for unfit women (15.5-26.5; P <.001). Among obese men, the odds ratio for insulin resistance was 7.4 for fit men (6.7-8.2; P < .001) and 12.9 for unfit men (11.4-14.6; P < .001). + + CONCLUSIONS: Independent of weight, poor fitness is associated with risk of insulin resistance. Obese individuals, particularly women, may benefit from the greatest absolute risk reduction by achieving moderate fitness. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

Although impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is a strong predictor for type 2 diabetes mellitus, the program does not follow up IFG in non-MetS individuals. This study aimed to examine the risk and the population attributable fraction (PAF) of MetS and IFG for incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Japanese workers (3,417 men and 714 women) aged 40-64 years without a history of diabetes were prospectively followed. MetS was defined as either abdominal obesity plus two or more metabolic risk factors, or being overweight in the case of normal waist circumference plus three or more metabolic risk factors. IFG was defined as fasting blood glucose 100-125 mg/dL. + + RESULTS: During a mean 6.3 years, 240 type 2 diabetes mellitus cases were identified. Compared with those without MetS and IFG, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) of non-MetS individuals with IFG, MetS individuals without IFG and MetS individuals with IFG for type 2 diabetes mellitus were 4.9 (3.4-7.1), 2.4 (1.6-3.5) and 8.3 (5.9-11.5), respectively. The corresponding PAFs for type 2 diabetes mellitus incidence were 15.6, 9.1 and 29.7%, respectively. + + CONCLUSIONS: IFG represented a higher risk and PAF than MetS for type 2 diabetes mellitus incidence in middle-aged Japanese individuals. The coexistence of MetS and IFG showed the highest risk and PAF for type 2 diabetes mellitus incidence. The current Japanese MetS screening program should be reconsidered to follow up non-MetS individuals with IFG. Copyright © 2020 The Authors.

Plasma XOR activity is a metabolic biomarker associated with obesity, hyperuricemia, liver dysfunction and insulin resistance. However, it has recently been reported that XOR activity in fat tissue is low in humans, unlike in rodents, and that hypoxanthine is secreted from human fat tissue. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: The associations of obesity with hypoxanthine, xanthine and plasma XOR activity were investigated in 484 participants (men/women: 224/260) of the Tanno-Sobetsu Study. + + RESULTS: Levels of hypoxanthine, xanthine and plasma XOR activity were significantly higher in men than in women. In 59 participants with hyperuricemia, 11 (men/women: 11/0) participants were being treated with an XOR inhibitor and had a significantly higher level of xanthine, but not hypoxanthine, than that in participants without treatment. In all of the participants, hypoxanthine concentration in smokers was significantly higher than that in non-smokers. Stepwise and multivariate regression analyses showed that body mass index, smoking habit and xanthine were independent predictors of hypoxanthine after adjustment of age, sex and use of antihyperuricemic drugs. Whereas, alanine transaminase, hypoxanthine and plasma XOR activity were independent predictors for xanthine, and alanine transaminase, triglycerides and xanthine were independent predictors for plasma XOR activity. + + CONCLUSIONS: The concentration of hypoxanthine, but not that of xanthine, is independently associated with obesity and smoking habit, indicating differential regulation of hypoxanthine and xanthine in a general population.

The cytokeratin 18 (CK18) fragment, as a cell death marker, plays an important role in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, only a limited number of studies have found elevated serum levels of CK18 in patients with type 2 diabetes. Moreover, no studies have been conducted yet to investigate the role of CK18 in hypertension or dyslipidemia. In particular, CK18 M65ED is a more sensitive marker of cell death, and its role in cardiometabolic disorders has not been revealed yet. + + METHODS: A total of 588 subjects were enrolled from the local communities of Shanghai. Serum CK18 M65ED were determined using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A cardiometabolic disorder was identified by the presence of at least one of the components including overweight or central obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. + + RESULTS: Subjects with cardiometabolic disorders exhibited significantly higher serum levels of CK18 M65ED than those without cardiometabolic disorders (197.36 (121.13-354.50) U/L versus 83.85 (52.80-153.75) U/L, respectively, P < 0.001). Increased serum CK18 M65ED quartiles were associated with the increased prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders and its components (P < 0.001 for all components). Multiple stepwise regression analysis also revealed that diastolic blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin A1c, alanine transaminase, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were independently correlated with serum CK18 M65ED levels (all P < 0.01). In addition, logistic regression analysis showed that the serum CK18 M65ED levels were positively correlated with cardiometabolic disorders and in an independent manner. Further, CK18 M65ED was revealed to be an indicator of cardiometabolic disorders in a NAFLD-independent manner. + + CONCLUSIONS: Elevated levels of CK18 M65ED, a sensitive cell death marker, were independently and positively correlated with cardiometabolic disorders, even after the adjustment for the presence of NAFLD and other cardiovascular risk factors.

A semi-pilot scale extraction was established and serjanic acid purification was followed using direct MALDI-TOF analysis. A diet induced obesity mouse model was used to determine the impact of serjanic acid over selected immunometabolic markers. Mice treated with serjanic acid showed decreased levels of cholesterol and triacylglycerols, increased blood insulin levels, decreased fasting blood glucose and improved glucose tolerance, and insulin sensitivity.

This results in missed opportunities for ASCVD prevention, most notably in those with metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, and diabetes. There is substantial evidence that accumulation of ectopic fat and associated metabolic traits are markers for and pathogenic components of high-risk atherosclerosis. Conceptually, the subset of advanced lesions in high-risk atherosclerosis that triggers vascular complications is closely related to a set of coordinated high-risk traits clustering around a distinct metabolic phenotype. A key feature of this phenotype is accumulation of ectopic fat, which, coupled with age-related muscle loss, creates a milieu conducive for the development of ASCVD: atherogenic dyslipidemia, nonresolving inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, hyperinsulinemia, and impaired fibrinolysis. Sustained vascular inflammation, a hallmark of high-risk atherosclerosis, impairs plaque stabilization in this phenotype. This review describes how metabolic and inflammatory processes that are promoted in large measure by ectopic adiposity, as opposed to subcutaneous adipose tissue, relate to the pathogenesis of high-risk atherosclerosis. Clinical biomarkers indicative of these processes provide incremental information to standard risk factor algorithms and advanced lipid testing identifies atherogenic lipoprotein patterns that are below the discrimination level of standard lipid testing. This has the potential to enable improved identification of high-risk patients who are candidates for therapeutic interventions aimed at prevention of ASCVD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Our goal was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of whole grain diet on cardiovascular risks in obese/overweight adults. + + METHODS: PubMed, Embase and Cochrane were systematically scanned for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and studies were selected based on certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. The primary outcome was the effectiveness of whole grain food consumption in reducing body weight. The secondary outcomes were the effect of whole grain food consumption on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors including plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), insulin resistance index, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), C-reactive protein (CRP), and waist circumference in obese/overweight adults. + + RESULTS: Our results showed that whole grain consumption was associated with lower body weight (mean difference (MD) = - 0.5, 95% confidence intervals (CI) [- 0.74, 0.25], I2 = 35%, P < 0.0001) and lower CRP (MD = -0.36, 95% CI [- 0.54, - 0.18], I2 = 69%, P < 0.0001), compared with the control group.

Therefore we aimed to test this hypothesis. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional study recruited 188 (96 males and 92 females) healthy obese adults aged 20-50 years. Diet quality indices including Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) and Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I) were constructed using data from a validated food frequency questionnaire. MC4R s17782313 were genotyped by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The interaction between MC4R polymorphism and diet quality indices was tested by Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) multivariate interaction model. + + RESULTS: There were significant gene-diet interactions between rs17782313 and HEI-2015 (P Interaction < 0.05) in modulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels among female group; rare allele heterozygotes of rs17782313 had highest mean of LDL-C concentration when placed in second tertile of HEI (P < 0.05). Moreover, rs17782313 and both indices (HEI and DQI-I) had significant interaction on serum glucose concentrations, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) in males (P Interaction < 0.05); when adherence to these indices was low, the obesity risk allele was associated with serum glucose concentrations, SBP and DBP. These gene-diet interactions remained significant even after adjustment for potential confounders. + + CONCLUSION: Our study showed that MC4R rs17782313 interacts with adherence to the dietary quality indices (HEI and DQI-I) to influence several cardio-metabolic risk factors in obese male and females. Further large prospective studies are warranted to confirm our findings. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (AGRP protein, human). 0 (Agouti-Related Protein). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). 0 (MC4R protein, human). 0 (Receptor, Melanocortin, Type 4). 581-05-5 (alpha-MSH). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in population across different regions. According to epidemiological studies, CVD risk markers in childhood obesity are one of the significant risk factors for adulthood CVD, but have received disproportionally little attention. This review has examined the evidence for the presence of traditional cardiac biomarkers (nonspecific; lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, myoglobulin, glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB, myosin light chains, ST2, and ischemia-modified albumin) and novel emerging cardiac-specific biomarkers (cardiac troponins, natriuretic peptides, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, and miRNAs). Besides, noninvasive anatomical and electrophysiological markers (carotid intima-media thickness, coronary artery calcification, and heart rate variability) in CVDs and obesity are also discussed. Modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome in the progression of CVD, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, and adipocytokines are also outlined. These underlying prognostic risk factors predict the onset of future microvascular and macrovascular complications. The understanding of invasive and noninvasive cardiac-specific biomarkers and the risk factors may yield valuable insights into the pathophysiology and prevention of CVD in a high-risk obese population at an early stage. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Cellular studies and high-fat-diet-induced obese mouse model mimicking obesity show the antiobesity effect of annatto-extracted tocotrienols (TT) with antioxidant capability. We aim to assess the safety and efficacy of TT consumption for lipid-related parameters in obese postmenopausal women. + + METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Eligible obese postmenopausal women will be randomly assigned to placebo group (430 mg olive oil) and TT group (DeltaGold Tocotrienol 70%) for 24 weeks. In the present study, the primary outcome is total/regional fat mass and visceral adipose tissue. The secondary outcomes include lipid profile in serum, mRNA expression of fatty acid synthase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A in fat tissue, oxylipins and endocannabinoids in plasma and adipose tissue, abundance and composition of intestinal microbiome in faeces, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in serum and leptin in serum. Every participant will be evaluated at 0 (prior to starting intervention) and 24 weeks of intervention, except for serum lipid profile and hs-CRP at 0, 12 and 24 weeks. 'Intent-to-treat' principle is employed for data analysis. Hierarchical linear modelling is used to estimate the effects of dietary TT supplementation while properly accounting for dependency of data and identified covariates. To our knowledge, this is the first randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study to determine dietary TT supplementation on an obese population. If successful, this study will guide the future efficacy TT interventions and TT can be implemented as an alternative for obese population in antiobesity management. + + ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has been approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock. An informed consent form will be signed by a participant before enrolling in the study. The results from this trial will be actively disseminated through academic conference presentation and peer-reviewed journals. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03705845.

Methods & results: Four microparticle (MP) indices - total MP per microliter platelet free plasma (PFP), total EMPs per microliter PFP, percent activated EMPs and percent lactadherin positive (LACT[+]) of total EMPs - were measured at two visits (baseline and 7 +/- 3 days follow-up) to determine reproducibility overall and by obesity status. We examined CD31+ or CD144+ with CD41-EMP events of size 0.3-1.0 mum. No statistically significant differences were observed between visits for any of the four MP indices. The within-participant and between-participant coefficient of variation was acceptable (range: 1.13-2.37) with good intraclass-correlation coefficient for all indices except total MP per microliter (range: 0.10-1.00). Conclusion: Total EMPs per microliter PFP, percent-activated EMPs and percent LACT(+) of total EMPs are reproducible among youth. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Dipepidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) plays a pivotal role during the development of IR, and was found to be a target gene of microRNA-214 (miR-214) in our study. This study sought to assess the expression and clinical value of miR-214 in obese patients with IR, and investigate its therapeutic potential in obese rats and adipocytes with IR. + + METHODS: Serum expression of miR-214 in obese patients with or without IR was estimated by quantitative real-time-PCR. A receiver operating characteristic curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic value of miR-214 in the patients. Obesity-induced IR animal and cell models were constructed, and the therapeutic ability of miR-214 was explored. + + RESULTS: Serum expression of miR-214 was decreased in obese patients compared with the healthy controls, and the lowest expression was observed in the cases with IR. Downregulation of miR-214 was significantly correlated with the serum DPP4 levels and HOMA-IR of the patients upon IR conditions, and was demonstrated to perform diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing obese patients with IR from those without IR. In obesity-associated IR animal and cell models, the downregulation of miR-214 was also been detected. According to the measurement of glucose and insulin tolerance and glucose uptake abilities, we found that the overexpression of miR-214 could be used to alleviate IR in the IR models, especially when collaboratively used with DPP4 inhibitor vildagliptin. + + CONCLUSION: All data revealed that miR-214, as a regulator of DPP4, is decreased in obese patients with IR and may serve as a diagnostic biomarker. The upregulation of miR-214 could improve IR in obese rats and adipocytes, indicating that miR-214 has the therapeutic potential for obesity and IR. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MIRN214 microRNA, human). 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (Mirn214 microRNA, mouse). 0 (Mirn214 microRNA, rat). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.1186%2fs13000-019-0914-1 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Cheng&issn=1746-1596&title=Diagnostic+Pathology&atitle=Aberrant+expression+of+miR-214+is+associated+with+obesity-induced+insulin+resistance+as+a+biomarker+and+therapeutic.&volume=15&issue=1&spage=18&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.1186%2Fs13000-019-0914-1&pmid=32093712&sid=OVID:medline + +<1361> +Unique Identifier + 32326626 +Title + Dietary Intake of Free Sugars is Associated with Disease Activity and Dyslipidemia in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients. +Source + Nutrients. 12(4), 2020 Apr 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Correa-Rodriguez M; Pocovi-Gerardino G; Callejas-Rubio JL; Rios Fernandez R; Martin-Amada M; Cruz-Caparros MG; Medina-Martinez I; Ortego-Centeno N; Rueda-Medina B +Author NameID + Correa-Rodriguez, Maria; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9165-4349 + Pocovi-Gerardino, Gabriela; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2720-7461 + Medina-Martinez, Irene; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1088-0032 + Rueda-Medina, Blanca; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0263-7000 +Authors Full Name + Correa-Rodriguez, Maria; Pocovi-Gerardino, Gabriela; Callejas-Rubio, Jose-Luis; Rios Fernandez, Raquel; Martin-Amada, Maria; Cruz-Caparros, Maria-Gracia; Medina-Martinez, Irene; Ortego-Centeno, Norberto; Rueda-Medina, Blanca. +Institution + Correa-Rodriguez, Maria.

Importantly, the consumption of dietary sugars has been positively linked to elevated levels of some inflammation markers, but the potential role of their consumption on the prognosis of autoimmune diseases has not yet been examined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the dietary intake of free sugars and clinical parameters and cardiovascular (CVD) risk markers in patients with SLE. A cross-sectional study including a total of 193 patients with SLE (aged 48.25 +/- 12.54 years) was conducted. The SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K) and the SDI Damage Index were used to asses disease activity and disease-related damage, respectively. Levels of C-reactive protein (CRP; mg/dL), homocysteine (Hcy; micromol/L), anti-double stranded DNA antibodies (anti-dsDNA) (IU/mL), complement C3 (mg/dL), and complement C4 (mg/dL), among other biochemical markers, were measured. The main factors we considered as risk factors for CVD were obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and blood lipids. The dietary-intrinsic sugar and added-sugar content participants consumed were obtained via a 24-h patient diary. Significant differences were observed in dietary sugar intake between patients with active and inactive SLE (in grams: 28.31 +/- 24.43 vs. 38.71 +/- 28.87; p = 0.035) and free sugar intake (as a percentage: 6.36 +/- 4.82 vs. 8.60 +/- 5.51; p = 0.020). Linear regression analysis revealed a significant association between free sugars intake (by gram or percentage) and the number of complications (beta (95% CI) = 0.009 (0.001, 0.0018), p = 0.033)); (beta (95% CI) = 0.046 (0.008, 0.084), p = 0.018)), and SLEDAI (beta (95% CI) = 0.017 (0.001, 0.034), p = 0.043)); (beta (95% CI) = 0.086 (0.011, 0.161), p = 0.024)) after adjusting for covariates. Free sugars (g and %) were also associated with the presence of dyslipidaemia (beta (95% CI) = -0.003 (-0.005, 0.000), p = 0.024)) and (beta (95% CI) = -0.015 (-0.028, -0.002), p = 0.021)). Our findings suggest that a higher consumption of free sugars might negatively impact the activity and complications of SLE. However, future longitudinal research on SLE patients, including dietary intervention trials, are necessary to corroborate these preliminary data. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antibodies, Antinuclear). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (C3 protein, human). 0 (Complement C3). 0 (Dietary Sugars). 0LVT1QZ0BA (Homocysteine). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 9007-49-2 (DNA). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.3390%2fnu12041094 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Correa-Rodriguez&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Dietary+Intake+of+Free+Sugars+is+Associated+with+Disease+Activity+and+Dyslipidemia+in+Systemic+Lupus+Erythematosus+Patients.&volume=12&issue=4&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fnu12041094&pmid=32326626&sid=OVID:medline + +<1362> +Unique Identifier + 32326613 +Title + Neurocognitive Inhibitory Control Ability Performance and Correlations with Biochemical Markers in Obese Women. +Source + International Journal of Environmental Research & Public Health [Electronic Resource]. 17(8), 2020 04 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Wen HJ; Tsai CL +Author NameID + Wen, Huei-Jhen; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2213-6841 + Tsai, Chia-Liang; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6173-2879 +Authors Full Name + Wen, Huei-Jhen; Tsai, Chia-Liang. +Institution + Wen, Huei-Jhen.

However, electrophysiological performance related to different inhibitory control processes and their relationship with motor response inhibition and cognitive interference and potential biochemical mechanisms in middle-aged, obese women are as yet unclear. This work thus compared different neurocognitive Go/Nogo and Stroop task performance in healthy sedentary normal-weight and obese women, as well as their correlation with biochemical markers. Twenty-six healthy, sedentary obese women (obese group) and 26 age-matched (21-45 years old) normal-weight women (control group) were the participants, categorized by body mass index and percentage fat, as measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. They provided a fasting blood sample and performed two cognitive tasks (i.e., Go/Nogo and Stroop tasks) with concomitant electrophysiological recording. The N2 and P3 waveforms of event-related potential (ERP) were recorded. Although the between-group behavioral performance was comparable, the obese group relative to the control group showed significantly longer N2 latency and smaller P3 amplitude in the Stroop task and smaller N2 and P3 amplitudes in the Go/Nogo task. Significant inflammation response indices (e.g., CRP, leptin, adiponectin/leptin ratio) were observed in the obese group. The Nogo P3 amplitude was significantly correlated with the adiponectin/leptin ratio. These findings indicate that healthy obese women still exhibit deviant neurophysiological performance when performing Go/Nogo and Stroop tasks, where the adiponectin/leptin ratio could be one of the influencing factors for the deficit in neural processes of motor response inhibition. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We examined if nuchal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) thickness, a surrogate marker of central trunk-weighted obesity, is an independent predictor of RTL that provides information beyond BMI, metabolic and inflammatory markers. RTL and nuchal SAT thickness were determined in 362 participants of the STYJOBS/EDECTA study (STYrian Juvenile Obesity Study, Early DEteCTion of atherosclerosis), which included overweight individuals and matched eutrophic controls. Fasting plasma samples were used for the measurement of leptin, resistin, adiponectin, glucose, insulin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), liver enzymes, creatinine, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, oxidized LDL, triglycerides, homocysteine and uric acid. Furthermore, all participants underwent carotid artery ultrasound. Obese individuals had markedly higher body mass index (BMI), nuchal SAT thickness, hip and waist circumferences and carotid intima media thickness (IMT) than eutrophic controls. In addition, they showed typical biochemical abnormalities related to energy metabolism, systemic inflammation and liver function. RTL was inversely correlated with nuchal SAT thickness, IMT, hs-CRP, alkaline phosphatase, insulin, resistin, and leptin. Positive correlations were seen with homocysteine and creatinine. Stepwise linear regression analyses identified nuchal SAT thickness and insulin as the only significant predictors of RTL. In conclusion, nuchal SAT thickness is a robust predictor of RTL that provides information beyond traditional obesity-related metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers. This suggests an important role of fat depots at the neck for accelerated telomere shortening. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Clinical Trial.

Bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver with subsequent microbial modification and fermentation adding complexity to pool composition. Bile acids act on several receptors such as Farnesoid X Receptor and the G protein-coupled BA receptor 1 (TGR5). Interestingly, BA receptors (BARs) are expressed on immune cells and activation either by BAs or BAR agonists modulates innate and adaptive immune cell populations skewing their polarization toward a more tolerogenic anti-inflammatory phenotype. Intriguingly, recent evidence also suggests that BAs promote anti-tumor immune response through activation and recruitment of tumoricidal immune cells such as natural killer T cells. These exciting findings have redefined BA signaling in health and disease wherein they may suppress inflammation on the one hand, yet promote anti-tumor immunity on the other hand. In this review, we provide our readers with the most recent understanding of the interaction of BAs with the host microbiome, their effect on innate and adaptive immunity in health and disease with a special focus on obesity, bariatric surgery-induced weight loss, and immune checkpoint blockade in cancer.

Aims: To assess the association of overweight [Body condition score (BCS) >5] and glucose metabolism alterations, with established or potential markers of CKD. In addition, fructosamine and fasted blood glucose were compared as predictors of early abnormal glucose metabolism. Methods: 54 clinically healthy cats were included in a cross-sectional study comprising 25 neutered males and 29 (28 neutered) females aged 7.2 (5.5-9.4) years. Two potential markers of CKD, namely urinary free active transforming growth factor-beta1-creatinine ratio and urinary retinol binding protein-creatinine ratio were measured along with other parameters to assess CKD. A receiver operating curve was used to identify the best sensitivity and specificity of fructosamine to identify cats with fasting glucose >6.5 mmol/L. Results: No association was found between BCS and markers of CKD. Fructosamine was greater in cats with fasting glucose >6.5 mmol/L compared to those with fasting glucose <=6.5 mmol/L. A fructosamine concentration >=250 micromol/L was able to detect cats with hyperglycemia with a sensitivity of 77% and a specificity of 65%. Furthermore, fructosamine was more strongly correlated with fasting glucose than albumin-corrected fructosamine (r = 0.43, p = 0.002 vs r = 0.32, p = 0.026). Cats with higher fructosamine had lower serum symmetric dimethylarginine concentrations. Conclusion: The present study does not suggest an effect of obesity on renal function in domestic cats. Clinical relevance: Fructosamine might be of value for the diagnosis of prediabetes mellitus in cats. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 4429-04-3 (Fructosamine).

This study's aim was to use novel kidney biomarkers and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to evaluate the effect of obesity development and weight-loss on kidney function, perfusion, and injury in dogs. Sixteen healthy lean adult beagles were assigned randomly but age-matched to a control group (CG) (n = 8) fed to maintain a lean body weight (BW) for 83 weeks; or to a weight-change group (WCG) (n = 8) fed the same diet to induce obesity (week 0-47), to maintain stable obese weight (week 47-56) and to lose BW (week 56-83). At 8 time points, values of systolic blood pressure (sBP); serum creatinine (sCr); blood urea nitrogen (BUN); serum cystatin C (sCysC); urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPC); and urinary biomarkers of glomerular and tubular injury were measured. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal perfusion using CEUS were assayed (except for week 68). For CEUS, intensity- and time-related parameters representing blood volume and velocity were derived from imaging data, respectively. At 12-22% weight-gain, cortical time-to-peak, representing blood velocity, was shorter in the WCG vs. the CG. After 37% weight-gain, sCysC, UPC, glomerular and tubular biomarkers of injury, urinary immunoglobulin G and urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, respectively, were higher in the WCG. sBP, sCr, BUN and GFR were not significantly different. After 23% weight-loss, all alterations were attenuated. Early weight-gain in dogs induced renal perfusion changes measured with CEUS, without hyperfiltration, preceding increased urinary protein excretion with potential glomerular and tubular injury.

Population-based observations have long described associations between maternal cardiometabolic disorders and the risk of CHD in the offspring. Here we review the epidemiological evidence and clinical observations relating maternal obesity and diabetes mellitus to the risk of CHD offspring with particular attention to mechanistic models of maternal-fetal risk transmission and first trimester disturbances of fetal cardiac development. A deeper understanding of maternal risk factors holds the potential to improve both prenatal detection of CHD by identifying at-risk pregnancies, along with primary prevention of disease by improving preconception and prenatal treatment of at-risk mothers. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We evaluated the circulating level of angiogenesis biomarkers preoperatively and 12 months after surgery. + + RESULTS: Before surgery, the following angiogenic circulating factors were significantly higher than those of healthy subjects: angiopoietin 2 (ANG-2) (p < .05), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) (p < .05), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) (p < .01), platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1) (p < .01), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (p < .05). The following angiogenesis biomarkers decreased significantly after weight loss compared with their baseline values: ANG-2 (p < .05), follistatin (p < .05), HGF (p < .01), PECAM-1 (p < .01), and VEGF (p < .05). There were no significant differences in the circulating levels of angiogenesis biomarkers between individuals who underwent SG and those who underwent LAGB; however, HGF, PECAM-1, and VEGF tended to be lower after SG. %BMI correlated negatively with HGF, PECAM-1, and VEGF. A similar significant negative correlation was found for %WL and %EWL. WHR correlated with PDGF-B and VEGF. + + CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that weight loss surgery induces the changes of circulating levels of angiogenesis biomarkers in obese patients. The changes in angiogenesis status in obese patients who lost weight after bariatric surgery depended on the amount of weight loss. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.1007%2fs11695-020-04580-7 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Wiewiora&issn=0960-8923&title=Obesity+Surgery&atitle=Effect+of+Weight+Loss+Surgery+on+Biomarkers+of+Angiogenesis+in+Obese+Patients.&volume=30&issue=9&spage=3417&epage=3425&date=2020&doi=10.1007%2Fs11695-020-04580-7&pmid=32307670&sid=OVID:medline + +<1369> +Unique Identifier + 32302714 +Title + Molokhia leaf extract prevents gut inflammation and obesity. +Source + Journal of Ethnopharmacology. 257:112866, 2020 Jul 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Lee HB; Oh MJ; Do MH; Kim YS; Park HY +Authors Full Name + Lee, Hye-Bin; Oh, Mi-Jin; Do, Moon Ho; Kim, Young-Soo; Park, Ho-Young. +Institution + Lee, Hye-Bin.

The effects of molokhia (Corchorus olitorius L.) on anti-obesity and gut health were investigated in this study. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: The effects of a water-soluble extract from molokhia leaves (WM) on lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and on body weight, gut permeability, hormone levels, fecal enzyme activity of the intestinal microflora, and gut microbiota in HFD-induced C57BL/6J mice were examined. + + RESULTS: WM treatment significantly inhibited lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Mice treated with 100 mg/kg WM had 13.1, 52.4, and 17.4% significantly lower body weights, gut permeability, and hepatic lipid accumulation than those in the HFD group, respectively. In addition, WM influenced gut health by inhibiting metabolic endotoxemia and colonic inflammation. It also altered the composition of the gut microbiota; in particular, it increased the abundance of Lactobacillus and decreased that of Desulfovibrio. + + CONCLUSION: Our results extend our understanding of the beneficial effects of WM consumption, including the prevention of gut dysbiosis and obesity.

Patients were divided into two groups based on sFlt1/PlGF ratio, namely low sFlt1/PlGF (<85) and high sFlt1/PlGF (>=85) ratio. + + RESULTS: Of the 115 patients, 76% were African American. Compared to women with low sFlt1/PlGF (n=78), patients with high sFlt1/PlGF (n=37) had higher median antenatal blood pressures (systolic mmHg 179 vs 155; diastolic 106 vs 91), lower gestational age at delivery (34.7 vs 38.2weeks), lower birthweight (1940 vs 3103g), and a higher prevalence of preterm delivery<34 (40.5% vs 7.7%) and<37weeks (64.9% vs 20.5%), all p<0.001. Importantly, more women with high sFlt1/PlGF had a diagnosis of superimposed preeclampsia (62.2% vs 26.9%, p=0.003), preeclampsia with severe features (59.5% vs 20.5%, p<0.0001), maternal adverse outcomes (24.3% vs 3.9%, p=0.002), neonatal intensive care unit admissions (71.9% vs 40.8%; p=0.003), severe postpartum hypertension (67.6% vs 38.5%, p=0.01) and longer hospital stays (median 6.0 vs 4.5days, p=0.003). + + DISCUSSION: In contrast to patients with a low ratio, high sFlt1/PlGF is characterized by an increased risk of maternal adverse outcomes and prematurity. Incorporation of angiogenic biomarkers while managing cHTN may improve accuracy of early identification of adverse outcomes to improve outcomes.

NWO is characterized by inflammation and muscle wasting in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Gut microbiota has been implicated in the regulation of host metabolism and may play important roles in the development of NWO in CKD. + + METHODS: In this case-control study, we examined the gut microbial diversity and taxonomy in 96 hemodialysis patients with normal weight (BMI < 25 kg/m2 and BF% <= 25% for men or <= 35% for women; n = 32), NWO (BMI < 25 kg/m2 and BF% > 25% for men or > 35% for women; n = 32), and overweight/obesity (BMI >= 25 kg/m2; n = 32), matched for age, gender, and diabetes. BF% was measured using bioimpedance spectroscopy device. Gut microbiota was determined by 16S rRNA sequencing. + + RESULTS: We found that alpha-diversity was significantly different among the 3 adiposity phenotypes, with NWO being the least diverse. alpha-diversity was positively correlated with BMI, subjective global assessment score, and physical activity, but negatively correlated with interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Patients with or without NWO were distinguished with respect to principal coordinate analysis of beta-diversity. Notably, the relative abundance of butyrate-producing bacteria, such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Coprococcus, was markedly reduced in patients with NWO. + + CONCLUSION: Our findings support associations between gut dysbiosis and a proinflammatory and catabolic state in hemodialysis patients with NWO.

Recent studies have shown that transplantation of the murine intestinal content to recipient germ-free mice enables transmission of the donor's phenotypes, such as low level chronic inflammation associated with lifestyle-related diseases. These findings indicate that intestinal bacteria produce some molecules to trigger pathological signals. However, fecal microbial metabolites that induce obesity and the type II diabetic phenotype have not been fully clarified. Here, we showed that the intestinal bacterial metabolite stercobilin, a pigment of feces, induced proinflammatory activities including TNF-alpha and IL-1beta induction in mouse macrophage RAW264 cells. Proinflammatory stercobilin levels were significantly higher in ob/ob mice feces than in the feces of control C57BL/6 J mice. Moreover, in this study, we detected stercobilin in mice plasma for the first time, and the levels were higher in ob/ob mice than that of C57BL/6 J mice. Therefore, stercobilin is potentially reabsorbed, circulated through the blood system, and contributes to low level chronic inflammation in ob/ob mice. Since, stercobilin is a bioactive metabolite, it could be a potentially promising biomarker for diagnosis. Further analyses to elucidate the metabolic rate and the reabsorption mechanism of stercobilin may provide possible therapeutic and preventive targets. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Bile Pigments). 0 (Biomarkers). 17G380DO11 (stercobilin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Lipotoxicity is mainly associated with dysfunctional signaling and insulin resistance response in non-adipose tissue such as myocardium, pancreas, skeletal muscle, liver, and kidney. Serum lipid abnormalities and renal ectopic lipid accumulation have been associated with the development of kidney diseases, in particular diabetic nephropathy. Chronic hyperinsulinemia, often seen in type 2 diabetes, plays a crucial role in blood and liver lipid metabolism abnormalities, thus resulting in increased non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA). Excessive lipid accumulation alters cellular homeostasis and activates lipogenic and glycogenic cell-signaling pathways. Recent evidences indicate that both quantity and quality of lipids are involved in renal damage associated to lipotoxicity by activating inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell-death. The pathological effects of lipotoxicity have been observed in renal cells, thus promoting podocyte injury, tubular damage, mesangial proliferation, endothelial activation, and formation of macrophage-derived foam cells. Therefore, this review examines the recent preclinical and clinical research about the potentially harmful effects of lipids in the kidney, metabolic markers associated with these mechanisms, major signaling pathways affected, the causes of excessive lipid accumulation, and the types of lipids involved, as well as offers a comprehensive update of therapeutic strategies targeting lipotoxicity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids, Nonesterified). 9005-79-2 (Glycogen). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This increases the risk of thrombosis, and the risk is lowered after obesity surgery. Over the past 25 years, several studies have contributed to understand the mechanisms behind the antithrombotic effect of obesity surgery, and this literature review summarizes the results of these studies. + + METHODS: A detailed literature search on the effects of obesity surgery on the hemostatic balance was conducted. + + RESULTS: The 25 relevant studies reviewed demonstrated that obesity surgery has favorable effects on many biomarkers of coagulation and fibrinolysis. The evidence is substantial for fibrinogen and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 with average reductions from 1 to 24 months after obesity surgery of 17 and 48%, respectively. For most other biomarkers, the evidence is moderate or weak with average effect sizes varying from 2% for fiber mass length ratio to 70% for prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 and with a large variation between studies. Many studies are small and of short duration, and the surgical techniques differ. Also, studies are confounded by changes in medication, comorbidity, diet, and exercise. It is unknown whether the hemostatic changes are mediated by weight loss alone or by the accompanying metabolic improvements. + + CONCLUSION: Despite issues of confounding, this review suggests that obesity surgery shifts the hemostatic balance in the antithrombotic direction, thereby reducing the thrombotic potential of people with obesity, but more studies are needed for most of the biomarkers.

Of these, ANGPTL5 is suggested to regulate triglyceride metabolism and is increased in obesity and diabetes. However, its role in metabolic diseases in adolescents is not well-studied. In this study, we tested the hypothesis of a positive association between plasma ANGPTL5, and obesity, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HsCRP) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) in adolescents. Adolescents (N = 431; age 11-14 years) were randomly selected from middle schools in Kuwait. Obesity was classified by the BMI-for-age based on the WHO growth charts. Plasma ANGPTL5, HsCRP, and Ox-LDL were measured using ELISA. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 20.65% and 33.18%, respectively. Mean (SD) plasma ANGPTL5 levels were significantly higher in obese, compared with overweight and normal-weight adolescents (23.05 (8.79) vs 18.39 (7.08) ng/mL, and 18.26 (6.95) ng/ml, respectively). ANGPTL5 was positively associated with both HsCRP (rho=0.27, p < 0.001) and Ox-LDL (rho = 0.24, p < 0.001). In Conclusion, ANGPTL5 levels are elevated in obese adolescents and are associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors, HsCRP and Ox-LDL. The use of ANGPTL5 as a powerful diagnostic and prognostic tool in obesity and metabolic diseases needs to be further evaluated. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ANGPTL5 protein, human). 0 (Angiopoietin-like Proteins). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipoproteins, LDL). 0 (oxidized low density lipoprotein). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We conducted a meta-analysis to synthesize the evidence of GI/GL studies and carbohydrate quality, gathering additional exposures for carbohydrate, high glycemic carbohydrate, total dietary fiber, and cereal fiber and risks for type 2 diabetes (T2DM), coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and mortality, grouped into the US, Europe, and Asia. Secondary aims examined cardiometabolic risks in overweight/obese individuals, by sex, and dose-response dietary variable trends. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: 40-prospective observational studies from 4-Medline bibliographical databases (Ovid, PubMed, EBSCOhost, CINAHL) were search up to November 2019. Random-effects hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for highest vs. lowest categories and continuous form combined were reported. Heterogeneity (I2>50%) was frequent in US GI/GL studies due to differing study characteristics. Increased risks ((HRGI,T2DM,US=1.14;CI:1.06,1.21), HRGL,T2DM,US=1.02 (1.01, 1.03)), HRGI,T2DM,Asia=1.25;1.02,1.53), and HRGL,T2DM,Asia=1.37 (1.17, 1.60)) were associated with cardiometabolic diseases. GI/GL in overweight/obese females had the strongest magnitude of risks in US-and Asian studies. Total dietary fiber (HRT2DM,US = 0.92;0.88,0.96) and cereal fiber (HRT2DM,US = 0.83;0.77,0.90) decreased risk of developing T2DM. Among females, we found protective dose-response risks for total dietary fiber (HR5g-total-dietary-fiber,T2DM,US = 0.94;0.92,0.97), but cereal fiber showed better ability to lower T2DM risk (HR5g-cereal-fiber,T2DM,US = 0.67;0.60,0.74). Total dietary-and cereal fibers' dose-response effects were nullified by GL, but not so for cereal fiber with GI. + + CONCLUSIONS: Overweight/obese females could shift their carbohydrate intake for higher cereal fiber to decrease T2DM risk, but higher GL may cancel-out this effect.

Angiopoietin-like protein 6 (ANGPTL6) regulates metabolic processes and counteract obesity through increased energy expenditure. This study aims to evaluate the plasma MPO and ANGPTL6 levels in obese and diabetic individuals as well as MPO association with biochemical markers of obesity. A total of 238 participants were enrolled, including 137 control and 101 type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. ANGPTL6 and MPO levels and other biomarkers were measured via ELISA. ANGPTL6 levels were significantly higher in the diabetic population and obese individuals. When the group was stratified based on T2D, ANGPTL6 levels were significantly higher in obese-diabetic participants compared with non-obese-diabetics, but obese-non-diabetic individuals had similar ANGPTL6 levels to their controls. MPO levels were higher in obese compared with non-obese participants but did not differ between T2D and control participants. MPO levels were upregulated in obese compared with non-obese in both diabetics and non-diabetics. MPO was positively associated with ANGPTL6, triglyceride, BMI, TNF-alpha, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1.

The effects of weight regain on biomarkers are also largely unknown. + + METHODS: Overweight/obese breast cancer survivors enrolled in an 18-month behavioral weight loss trial provided weight and serum biomarkers [leptin, adiponectin, insulin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), IL-6, TNFalpha, and hepatocyte growth factor HGF] at baseline, 6, and 18 months (n = 138). Change in biomarkers over time and by weight loss thresholds were examined. + + RESULTS: Mean weight loss at 6 months was 13.3 +/- 5.0 kg; from 6 to 18 months, mean regain was 4.0 +/- 5.2 kg. Favorable biomarker modulations were observed at 6 months for leptin, adiponectin, insulin, PAI-1, IL-6, and HGF (P < 0.006 to P < 0.0001). These changes remained significant overall at 18 months despite attenuation in some. Women who lost <10% of baseline weight showed significantly smaller modulation effects for leptin (P < 0.0001), adiponectin:leptin (A/L) ratio (P < 0.0001), PAI-1 (P < 0.001), and insulin (P = 0.003) compared with women who lost >10%. Women who lost >10% observed a significant increase in adiponectin (P < 0.0001), and these women continued to show improved adiponectin from 6 to 18 months despite weight regain. Physical activity contributed additional effects on biomarker change for leptin, A/L ratio, and PAI-1. + + CONCLUSIONS: These findings are consistent with a clinical target of 10% weight. + + IMPACT: Sustained increases in adiponectin likely confer benefits for breast cancer prognosis even with weight regain.

Cardiometabolic disease risk and its associated high abdominal fat mass, cholesterol, and glucose concentrations can be reduced by a healthier lifestyle. Hence, the aim is to understand the relation between lifestyle-induced changes in body composition, and specifically abdominal fat, and accompanying changes in circulating metabolic biomarkers. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Data from the Growing Old Together (GOTO) study was used, which is a single arm lifestyle intervention in which 164 older adults (mean age 63 years, BMI 23-35 kg/m2 ) changed their lifestyle during 13 weeks by 12.5% caloric restriction plus 12.5% increase in energy expenditure. It is shown here that levels of circulating metabolic biomarkers, even after adjustment for body mass index, specifically associate with abdominal fat mass. The applied lifestyle intervention mainly reduces abdominal fat mass (-2.6%, SD = 3.0) and this reduction, when adjusted for general weight loss, is highly associated with decreased circulating glycerol concentrations and increased HDL diameter. + + CONCLUSION: The lifestyle-induced reduction of abdominal fat mass is particularly associated, independent of body mass index or general weight loss, with decreased circulating glycerol concentrations and increased HDL diameter.

There are no studies examining changes in these variables as a result of Taekwondo training intervention. We aimed to investigate the effect of Taekwondo training on oxidative stress and myokine levels in overweight and obese adolescents. Methods: We randomly assigned 20 overweight and obese adolescents to control (control group; CG, n = 10) and experimental (experimental group; EG, n = 10) groups. The EG performed Taekwondo training five times a week for 16 weeks. Physical parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)), physical fitness (maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) (cardiorespiratory endurance), grip and leg strength (muscular strength), sit-and-reach (flexibility), Sargent jump (power), and stork stand test (balance)) were measured before and after intervention. We measured levels of serum oxidative stress markers (plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)) and myokines (serum interleukin-15 (IL-15), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), irisin, and myostatin). Results: The weight and BMI in the EG after intervention were significantly lower and leg strength (muscular strength), sit-and-reach (flexibility), and Sargent jump (power) were significantly improved compared to those of the CG (p < 0.05). There were no significant interaction effects in terms of height, VO2 max, grip strength, or stork stand test (p > 0.05). The SOD and BDNF level after intervention were significantly higher in the EG after the intervention, whereas MDA and irisin levels were significantly lower than those of the CG (p < 0.05). There were no significant interaction effects in terms of serum IL-15 and myostatin levels (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Taekwondo training can reduce obesity and increase physical fitness with respect to muscular strength, flexibility, and power as well as alleviate oxidative stress and modulate myokine secretion in adolescents. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Both rodent resistin and human resistin have an extremely stable and high-order multimeric structure. Moreover, there is significant variation in the source of secretion and the diversity of functions of resistin. Mouse resistin resists insulin action and contributes to type 2 diabetes mellitus, while human resistin plays a role in inflammation and also functions as a small accessory chaperone. Currently, active research in the area identified a significant role for resistin in stress biology and as a biomarker in diagnostics to evaluate disease status and treatment outcome. This review summarizes recent developments within resistin biology including their association with obesity, inflammation, stress response mechanisms, and its role in clinical diagnostics.

Recently, the balance of n-3/n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has received attention as a risk marker for CVD but, so far, no study has been conducted that investigates the association between BMI and the balance of n-3/n-6 PUFAs for CVD risk. + + METHODS: We evaluated the association between n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in three BMI-based groups (< 25: low BMI, 25-27.5: moderate BMI, and >= 27.5: high BMI) that included 1666 patients who visited the cardiovascular medicine departments of five hospitals located in urban areas in Japan. + + RESULTS: The prevalence of ACS events was 9.2, 7.3, and 10.3% in the low, moderate, and high BMI groups, respectively. We analyzed the relationship between ACS events and several factors, including docosahexaenoic acid/arachidonic acid (DHA/AA) ratio by multivariate logistic analyses. In the low BMI group, a history of smoking (odds ratio [OR]: 2.47, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.40-4.35) and low DHA/AA ratio (OR: 0.30, 95% CI: 0.12-0.74) strongly predicted ACS. These associations were also present in the moderate BMI group but the magnitude of the association was much weaker (ORs are 1.47 [95% CI: 0.54-4.01] for smoking and 0.63 [95% CI: 0.13-3.10] for DHA/AA). In the high BMI group, the association of DHA/AA (OR: 1.98, 95% CI: 0.48-8.24) was reversed and only high HbA1c (OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.03-2.08) strongly predicted ACS.

This randomized trial assessed the impact of the Sistas Inspiring Sistas Through Activity and Support (SISTAS) study on plasma C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII). This unblinded, dietary and physical activity trial was implemented in 337 obese (body mass index [BMI] >=30 kg/m2) African American (AA) women recruited between 2011 and 2015 in South Carolina through a community-based participatory approach with measurements at baseline, 3 months, and 12 months. Participants were randomized into either intervention (n = 176) or wait-list control group (n = 161). Linear mixed-effect models were used for analyses of CRP and IL-6. Baseline CRP was significantly higher in those with greater obesity, body fat percentage, and waist circumference (all p <.01). No difference was observed between groups for CRP or IL-6 at 3 or 12 months; however, improvements in diet were observed in the intervention group compared to the control group (p = .02) at 3 months but were not sustained at 12 months. Although the intervention was not successful at reducing levels of CRP or IL-6, a significant decrease was observed in DII score for the intervention group, indicating short-term positive dietary change. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-6). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

These include classic markers such as p16, senescence-associated beta-gal, and gammaH2AX, in addition to more recent markers (Sudan Black B and HMGB1). In vivo data on the usefulness of these markers in skeletal muscle are very limited and inconsistent. In the present study, we attempted to identify senescent cells in frozen human skeletal muscle biopsies using these markers to determine the effects of age and obesity on senescent cell burden; however, we were only able to assess the abundance of DNA-damaged nuclei using gammaH2AX immunohistochemistry. The abundance of gammaH2AX+ cells, including satellite cells, was not higher in muscle from old compared to young individuals; however, gammaH2AX+ cells were higher with obesity. Additionally, terminally differentiated, postmitotic myofiber nuclei from obese individuals had elevated gammaH2AX abundance compared to muscle from lean individuals. Analyses of gene expression support the conclusion that the elevated DNA damage and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype are preferentially associated with obesity in skeletal muscle. These data implicate obesity as a larger contributor to DNA damage in skeletal muscle than aging; however, more sensitive senescence markers for human skeletal muscle are needed to determine if these cells are in fact senescent.

However, the inter-relations between obesity and smoking are still not fully understood. We thus developed an experimental model of high-fat diet-fed obese C57BL/6 male mice chronically exposed to cigarette smoke. Our study evaluated for the first time the resulting effects of the combined exposure to unhealthy diet and cigarette smoke on several metabolic, pulmonary, intestinal, and cardiac parameters. We showed that the chronic exposure to cigarette smoke modified the pattern of body fat distribution in favor of the visceral depots in obese mice, impaired the respiratory function, triggered pulmonary inflammation and emphysema, and was associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis, cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Insulin).

The purpose of this study was to compare the EMS-effect of exercises with music on fatness and biomarker levels in obese elderly. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five women were randomly classified into a control group (CON) and EMS group (EMSG). EMS suits used in this study enabled the simultaneous activation of eight pairs with selectable intensities. Program sessions of EMS were combined with exercises of listening to music three times a week for eight weeks. Although both groups received the same program, CON did not receive electrical stimuli. Results: Compared with CON, a significant effect of the EMS intervention concerning decreased fatness, as well as an increased skeletal muscle mass and basal metabolic rate, were evident. Tumor necrosis factor-a, C-reactive protein, resistin, and carcinoembryonic antigen of biomarkers were significantly different in the groups by time interaction. Similarly, the positive changes caused by EMS were represented in lipoprotein-cholesterols. Conclusions: The results indicate that a significant effect due to the EMS intervention was found concerning body composition and biomarkers in obese elderly women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Moreover, there is no conclusive evidence on the optimal amount of virgin coconut oil (VCO) that could be of health benefit, although it is known to enhance lipid metabolism. Therefore, we investigated the antiobesitogenic action of graded doses of VCO (200, 400 and 600 mg/kg) in obese rats fed with normo/hyper-lipidaemic diet. Sixty rats (n = 10) were divided into 6 groups and treated as follows: the control and high fat diet (HFD) groups were administered normal saline (0.1 mL/day, p.o.) during the last four weeks of the study, and were fed with normal and HFD respectively throughout the twenty weeks duration of the experiment. Groups 3-6 were fed with HFD for 16 weeks, then normal diet during the next 4 weeks. While group - 3 received saline (0.1 mL/day, p.o.) during the last four weeks, groups 4-6 received graded doses of VCO. The results showed that HFD-induced obesity caused impaired glucose homeostasis, distorted hepatic histoarchitecture, selected deviations in hepatic function indices, pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidant, and dsylipidaemic effects. There were evidence of escalated and reversed pathological actions following the replacement of HFD with normal diet. VCO showed no effect on glucose, insulin, insulin resistance, total protein, uric acid and TAC; but equitable effects on CAT, IL-6, CRP, ALT, AST & GGT, irrespective of the dose. Compared to the effects of VCO at 400 and 600 mg/kg, at 200 mg/kg, VCO had more significant therapeutic effects on LDH, MDA, SOD, GPX, TC, TG, LDL-C, total bilirubin, atherogenic and lee indices and hepatic histoarchitecture. Conclusively, VCO, preferably at a low dose could be used to reverse hepatic structural alteration and some biochemical deviations following dietary modifications in obese condition.

We hypothesised that obese women requiring differing treatment modalities for GDM may have diverse underlying metabolic pathways. + + METHODS: In this secondary analysis of the UK pregnancies Better Eating and Activity Trial (UPBEAT) we studied women from the control arm with complete biochemical data at three gestational time points; at 15-18+6 and 27-28+6 weeks (before treatment), and 34-36+0 weeks (after treatment). A total of 89 analytes were measured (plasma/serum) using a targeted nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) platform and conventional assays. We used linear regression with appropriate adjustment to model metabolite concentration, stratified by treatment group. + + MAIN FINDINGS: 300 women (median BMI 35kg/m2; inter quartile range 32.8-38.2) were studied. 71 developed GDM; 28 received dietary treatment only, 20 metformin, and 23 received insulin. Prior to the initiation of treatment, multiple metabolites differed (p<0.05) between the diet and insulin-treated groups, especially very large density lipoprotein (VLDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses and constituents, with some differences maintained at 34-36 weeks' gestation despite treatment. Gestational lipid profiles of the diet treatment group were indicative of a lower insulin resistance profile, when compared to both insulin-treated women and those without GDM. At 28 weeks' the diet treatment group had lower plasma fasting glucose and insulin than women treated with insulin, yet similar to those without GDM, consistent with a glycaemic mechanism independent of insulin resistance. + + CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: This exploratory study suggests that GDM pathophysiological processes may differ amongst obese women who require different treatment modalities to achieve glucose control and can be revealed using metabolic profiling. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Hypoglycemic Agents). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Triglycerides). 9100L32L2N (Metformin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Fecal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been found to differ in gastrointestinal diseases as well as intestinal infection. In this study, to evaluate a potential association between the pathogenesis of lifestyle-related diseases and VOCs in the intestinal tract, fecal VOCs from obese/diabetic KK-Ay mice (KK) or controls (C57BL/6J mice; BL) fed a normal or high fat diet (NFD or HFD) were investigated using headspace sampler-GC-EI-MS. Principal component analysis (PCA) of fecal VOC profiles clearly separated the experimental groups depending on the mouse lineage (KK vs BL) and the diet type (NFD vs HFD). 16 s rRNA sequencing revealed that the PCA distribution of VOCs was in parallel with the microfloral composition. We identified that some volatile metabolites including n-alkanals (nonanal and octanal), acetone and phenol were significantly increased in the HFD and/or KK groups. Additionally, these volatile metabolites induced proinflammatory activity in the RAW264 murine macrophage cell line indicating these bioactive metabolites might trigger low-level chronic inflammation. These results suggest that proinflammatory VOCs detected in HFD-fed and/or diabetic model mice might be novel noninvasive diagnosis biomarkers for diabetes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Ribosomal, 16S). 0 (Volatile Organic Compounds). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Metabolically activated adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) undergo qualitative and quantitative changes that influence their inflammatory responses. How these cells contribute to insulin resistance (IR) in humans is not well understood. Cholesterol 25-Hydroxylase (CH25H) converts cholesterol into 25-Hydroxycholesterol (25-HC), an oxysterol that modulates immune responses. Using human and murine models, we investigated the role of CH25H in metabolic inflammation. + + METHODS: We performed transcriptomic (RNASeq) analysis on the human whole AT biopsies and sorted ATMs from obese non-diabetic (NDM) and obese diabetic (DM) subjects to inquire if CH25H was increased in DM. We challenged mice lacking Ch25h with a high-fat diet (HFD) to characterize their metabolic and immunologic profiling. Ch25h KO mice and human adipose tissue biopsies from NDM and DM subjects were analyzed. LC-MS was conducted to measure 25-HC level in AT. In vitro analysis permitted us to investigate the effect of 25-HC on cytokine expression. + + RESULTS: In our RNASeq analysis of human visceral and subcutaneous biopsies, gene pathways related to inflammation were increased in obese DM vs. non-DM subjects that included CH25H. CH25H was enriched in the stromal vascular fraction of human adipose tissue and highly expressed in CD206+ human ATMs by flow cytometry analysis. We measured the levels of the oxysterols, 25-HC and 7alpha25diHC, in human visceral adipose tissue samples and showed a correlation between BMI and 25-HC. Using mouse models of diet-induced obesity (DIO), we found that HFD-induced Ch25h expression in eWAT and increased levels of 25-HC in AT. On HFD, Ch25h KO mice became obese but exhibited reduced plasma insulin levels, improved insulin action, and decreased ectopic lipid deposit. Improved insulin sensitivity in Ch25h KO mice was due to attenuation of CD11c+ adipose tissue macrophage infiltration in eWAT. Finally, by testing AT explants, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and SVF cells from Ch25h deficient mice, we observed that 25-HC is required for the expression of pro-inflammatory genes. 25-HC was also able to induce inflammatory genes in preadipocytes. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest a critical role for CH25H/25-HC in the progression of meta-inflammation and insulin resistance in obese humans and mouse models of obesity. In response to obesogenic stimuli, CH25H/25-HC could exert a pro-inflammatory role. Copyright © 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier GmbH..

This study examined the effects on incretin mimetics on vascular physiology in the prediabetic postprandial state. Methods: Fifteen obese adults with prediabetes participated in a randomized, crossover, double-blinded trial comparing the postprandial effects of exenatide, saxagliptin, and placebo on peripheral vasodilation. All studies utilized a standardized high-fat meal. Resting and peak forearm blood flow (FBF) were measured via strain gauge venous occlusion plethysmography, and makers of vascular dysfunction were measured in plasma. Results: Exenatide attenuated resting FBF at 3 hr (P = 0.003) and 6 hr (P = 0.056) postmeal, compared to placebo. Nonsignificant reductions in resting FBF were observed between saxagliptin and placebo at the same time points. No group differences were observed for peak FBF, plasma nitrotyrosine, and plasma 8-iso-prostaglandin F2alpha. A transient increase in plasma triglyceride was abated in the exenatide group, when compared to saxagliptin and placebo groups. Only exenatide group showed no significant upsurge in plasma insulin. Plasma-free fatty acids significantly declined in all three groups, although less markedly for exenatide. Postmeal glucose increased at 2 hr with placebo and saxagliptin, but simultaneously decreased with exenatide. Conclusions: Acute treatment with exenatide blunted the postprandial vasodilatory effect of a high-fat meal in prediabetes. Exenatide's acute effects derived primarily from multiple endothelium-independent processes.

Patients with a BMI value of >40 kg/m2 are at increased risk for postoperative complications; weight loss programs and bariatric surgery are therapeutic modalities that can be used in the prehabilitation and long-term rehabilitation of patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty. Management of patients with abnormal nutritional status should be multidisciplinary and allow for the incorporation of dietitians and nutritionists in therapeutic planning. Hypoalbuminemia correction can be completed intravenously or orally; however, arthroplasty studies remain lacking with regard to the preferred modalities of correction. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We hypothesized that increased circulating fractalkine coexists with impaired vasomotor function in metabolically healthy or unhealthy obesity, and that treatment with antidiabetic drugs may impact these abnormalities in type 2 diabetes. Compared to lean subjects, in both obese groups the vasodilator responses to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside were impaired (both P < .001); ETA-receptor blockade resulted in greater vasodilation (both P < .001); and plasma levels of fractalkine, E-selectin and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 were increased (all P < .05). In diabetic patients, oral antidiabetic drugs (glyburide, metformin or pioglitazone) reduced circulating levels fractalkine and E-selectin (both P < .05), without affecting vascular responses (all P > .05). Our findings indicate that insulin resistant states are associated with elevated atherogenic chemokines and impaired vascular reactivity. Antidiabetic treatment results in lower circulating fractalkine, which may provide cardiovascular benefits. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

The present study aimed to explore the association between GDF15 and LEAD in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Considering that obesity is an important factor associated with circulating GDF15 levels, whether the relationship between serum GDF15 levels and LEAD is affected by body mass index (BMI) was also analysed. + + METHODS: A total of 376 hospitalized T2DM patients were enrolled (161 with LEAD and 215 without LEAD). A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the serum GDF15 levels. The femoral intima-media thickness (F-IMT) and LEAD were assessed by ultrasonography. + + RESULTS: Patients with LEAD had significantly higher serum GDF15 levels than those without LEAD, regardless of whether their BMI was < 25 kg/m2 or >= 25 kg/m2 (both P < 0.05). Serum GDF15 levels were independently positively related to the F-IMT (standardized beta = 0.162, P = 0.002). After adjusting for confounding factors, per 1-standard deviation (SD) increase in the serum GDF15 levels was significantly related to an approximately 1.4-fold increased risk of LEAD in the total population (P < 0.05). Regardless of whether the BMI was < 25 kg/m2 or >= 25 kg/m2, this association remained significant, with approximately 1.6- and 1.4-fold increased risks of LEAD, respectively (both P < 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: High serum GDF15 levels were significantly correlated with an increased risk of LEAD in T2DM patients, and this relationship was independent of BMI. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (GDF15 protein, human). 0 (Growth Differentiation Factor 15). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

In women of reproductive age, obesity is one of the most common medical conditions. Among others, obese state is characterized by low-grade systemic inflammation and enhanced oxidative stress. Increased maternal body mass index might amplify inflammation and reactive oxygen species production, which is associated with unfavourable clinical outcomes that affect both mother and child. Intrauterine growth retardation, preeclampsia, or gestational diabetes mellitus are examples of the hampered maternal and foetoplacental unit interactions. Visfatin is the obesity-related adipokine produced mainly by the visceral adipose tissue. Visfatin affects glucose homeostasis, as well as the regulation of genes related to oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Here, we review visfatin interactions in pregnancy-related disorders linked to obesity. We highlight the possible predictive and prognostic value of visfatin in diagnostic strategies on gravidas with obesity.

The aim of the study was to investigate the WBC (white blood cell) count and CRP (C-reactive protein) concentration in women with PCOS and to determine the factors that affect their concentration. The study included 200 women aged 18-40 with PCOS and 105 healthy women as the control group, recruited in the Department of Gynaecological Endocrinology of Medical University in Warsaw from 2016 to 2018. Each patient underwent clinical, biochemical, and ultrasonographic assessments. WBC and CRP were significantly higher in the PCOS group (Z = -2,353, p = 0,019 and Z = -2,453, p = 0,014). WBC positively correlated with serum insulin at 0, 60, and 120 min during the oral glucose tolerance test (INS0: r = 0,221, p = 0,001; INS1: r = 0,194, p = 0,003; INS2: r = 0,022, p = 0,001), testosterone (r = 0,130, p = 0,046), androstenedione (r = 0,212, p = 0,001), and DHEAS (r = 0,178, p = 0,006) and negatively correlated with progesterone (r = -0,204, p = 0,002), estradiol (r = -0,140, p = 0,032), and SHBG (r = -0,308, p < 0,001). CRP positively correlated with insulin concentration in 0, 60, and 120 min during the oral glucose tolerance test (INS0: r = 0,343, p < 0,001; INS1: r = 0,276, p = 0,001; INS2: r = 0,320, p < 001) and negatively correlated with progesterone (r = -0,194, p = 0,030) and SHBG (-0,244, p = 0,005). We also estimated positive correlation between BMI and serum CRP and WBC concentration. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CRP values are positively associated with BMI (beta = 0,374, p < 0,001) and insulin level (INS1) (beta = 0,282, p = 0,004); and WBC results are negatively associated with SHGB (beta = -0,284, p < 0,001) but positively associated with testosterone (beta = 0,163, p = 0,024) and BMI (beta = 0,157, p = 0,047). PCOS is associated with increased WBC and CRP concentrations. The main predicting factors of increased CRP are BMI and insulin resistance, but there is also a relationship between WBC count in PCOS and androgen concentration itself so that inflammation may be mediated not only through adiposity but also through increased androgen concentration.

The research linking obesity with gut microbiota dysbiosis has led to a hypothesis that certain bacterial strains could serve as probiotics helping in weight management and metabolic health. In the search for such strains, the effect of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis 420 (B420) on gut microbiota and metabolic health, and the mechanisms of actions, has been investigated in a variety of in vitro, pre-clinical, and clinical studies. In this review, we aim to highlight the research on B420 related to obesity, metabolic health, and the microbiota. Current research supports the hypothesis that gut dysbiosis leads to an imbalance in the inflammatory processes and loss of epithelial integrity. Bacterial components, like endotoxins, that leak out of the gut can invoke low-grade, chronic, and systemic inflammation. This imbalanced state is often referred to as metabolic endotoxemia. Scientific evidence indicates that B420 can slow down many of these detrimental processes via multiple signaling pathways, as supported by mechanistic in vitro and in vivo studies. We discuss the connection of these mechanisms to clinical evidence on the effect of B420 in controlling weight gain in overweight and obese subjects. The research further indicates that B420 may improve the epithelial integrity by rebalancing a dysbiotic state induced by an obesogenic diet, for example by increasing the prevalence of lean phenotype microbes such as Akkermansia muciniphila. We further discuss, in the context of delivering the health benefits of B420: the safety and technological aspects of the strain including genomic characterization, antibiotic resistance profiling, stability in the product, and survival of the live probiotic in the intestine. In summary, we conclude that the clinical and preclinical studies on metabolic health suggest that B420 may be a potential candidate in combating obesity; however, further clinical studies are needed. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Glaucoma diagnosis was based on criteria established by the International Society of Geographic and Epidemiologic Ophthalmology. Multivariate regression analysis was used to assess the correlation between dietary intake and the prevalence of POAG in all enrolled subjects. In the low Body mass index(BMI) group (BMI <18.5), females with POAG had significantly lower intakes of energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, ash, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, vitamin A, B-carotene, thiamin, riboflavin, and vitamin C than their non-glaucoma counterparts, based on a multivariate logistic regression analysis (all p < 0.05). In females with a medium BMI (18.5 <= BMI < 23), POAG showed a significant association with lower food intake, energy, protein, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, thiamin and niacin. (all p < 0.05). Lower protein thiamine intake in medium BMI males was related to POAG. Low dietary intake of several nutrients showed an association with glaucoma in low BMI female subjects. An insufficient intake of certain nutrients may be associated with an increased risk of glaucoma in Koreans. Further large-scale cohort studies are needed to determine how specific nutrients alter the risk of glaucoma. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.3390%2fnu12030878 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Lee&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Relationships+between+Obesity%2C+Nutrient+Supply+and+Primary+Open+Angle+Glaucoma+in+Koreans.&volume=12&issue=3&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fnu12030878&pmid=32214001&sid=OVID:medline + +<1401> +Unique Identifier + 32210144 +Title + Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitor Voglibose Suppresses Azoxymethane-Induced Colonic Preneoplastic Lesions in Diabetic and Obese Mice. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 21(6), 2020 Mar 23. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kato J; Shirakami Y; Mizutani T; Kubota M; Sakai H; Ibuka T; Shimizu M +Authors Full Name + Kato, Junichi; Shirakami, Yohei; Mizutani, Taku; Kubota, Masaya; Sakai, Hiroyasu; Ibuka, Takashi; Shimizu, Masahito. +Institution + Kato, Junichi.

This study aimed to investigate the preventive effects of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor voglibose on the development of azoxymethane-induced colorectal pre-neoplastic lesions in obese and diabetic C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice. The direct effects of voglibose on the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells were also evaluated. Mice were injected with azoxymethane to induce colorectal pre-malignancy and were then administered drinking water with or without voglibose. At the end of the study, the administration of voglibose significantly suppressed the development of colorectal neoplastic lesions. In voglibose-treated mice, serum glucose levels, oxidative stress, as well as mRNA expression of the insulin-like growth factor-1 in the colon mucosa, were reduced. The proliferation of human colorectal cancer cells was not altered by voglibose. These results suggested that voglibose suppressed colorectal carcinogenesis in a diabetes- and obesity-related colorectal cancer model, presumably by improving inflammation via the reduction of oxidative stress and suppressing of the insulin-like growth factor/insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor axis in the colonic mucosa. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Glycoside Hydrolase Inhibitors). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (NF-kappa B). 4L6452S749 (Inositol).

We aimed to determine the degree of kidney function impairment by evaluating urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) levels. Materials and methods: in total, 15 obese, 26 overweight, and 26 control adolescents aged 10 to 16 years were enrolled into the study. Urine samples were evaluated for NGAL and KIM-1 levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. We investigated the association between obesity and related comorbidities with urinary NGAL and KIM-1 excretion. Results: no significant differences were noted between the obese, overweight, and control groups in urinary NGAL and KIM-1 excretion (p = 0.327 and p = 0.917, respectively). In the obese and overweight groups urinary NGAL levels were 50.39 [30.88-74.22] in females and 26.67 [23.24-45.59] in males (p = 0.013). Also, urinary NGAL levels were increased in obese and overweight adolescents with LDL dyslipidemia at 64.12 [30.98-114.32] as compared to those without LDL dyslipidemia: 39.51 [25.59.56.37] (p = 0.024). Furthermore, a correlation was observed between insulin and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance levels with the NGAL/creatinine ratio in the overweight group (r = 0.515; p = 0.008, and r = 0.483; p = 0.014, respectively). Such correlation was not found in the obese group. Conclusion : the effect of obesity on renal function could not be determined in children. A longer exposure may be required for obesity-induced disruption of renal function in children. Renal function may be disrupted by dyslipidemia in obese adolescents. Furthermore, obesity impaired renal function in female adolescents. The normalization of these urinary markers as related to urine creatinine should be discussed. +Other Abstract + Publisher + INTRODUCCION: Introduccion: la incidencia de la obesidad en la edad infantil ha aumentado. Se considera la obesidad como un factor de riesgo independiente para el desarrollo de la enfermedad renal cronica. El objetivo de este estudio fue valorar el grado de alteracion de la funcion renal evaluando los niveles urinarios de NGAL y KIM-1. Material y metodos: el estudio incluyo a 15 adolescentes con obesidad, 26 con sobrepeso y 26 controles sanos.Edades de los participantes entre los 10 y los 16 anos. Los niveles de NGAL y KIM-1 en orina se determinaron mediante kit ELISA. Se investigo asociacion entre obesidad y su comorbilidad con excrecion urinaria de NGAL y KIM-1. Resultados: no se encontraron diferencias significativas en la excrecion urinaria de NGAL y KIM-1 entre los sujetos con obesidad, los sujetos con sobrepeso y los controles sanos (p = 0,327 y 0,917, respectivamente). En el grupo con sobrepeso y obesidad, los niveles de NGAL en las ninas fueron de 50,39 (30,88-74,22), mientras que en los ninos fueron de 26,67 (23,24-45,59) (p = 0,013). Para los sujetos con dislipemia de LDL, el nivel de NGAL fue de 64,12 (30,98-114,32) frente a 39,5 (25,59-56,37) entre los que no la tenian (p = 0,024). Se encontro correlacion entre los nivles de insulina, el HOMA-IR y la ratio NGAL/creatinina en el grupo con sobrepeso (r = 0,515; p = 0,008, y r = 0,483; p = 0,014, respectivamente). En el grupo con obesidad no se encontro dicha correlacion. Conclusiones: se precisa una duracion mas prolongada para encontrar alterada la funcion renal en los ninos con exceso de peso. La funcion renal puede alterarse por la dislipemia en el caso de los adolescentes con obesidad. La funcion renal se afecta mas en las adolescentes femeninas. + Language: Spanish +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). 0 (HAVCR1 protein, human). 0 (Hepatitis A Virus Cellular Receptor 1). 0 (LCN2 protein, human). 0 (Lipocalin-2). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.20960%2fnh.02651 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Gul&issn=0212-1611&title=Nutricion+Hospitalaria&atitle=Valoracion+de+la+funcion+renal+en+ninos+con+sobrepeso+y+obesidad+con+las+moleculas+NGAL+y+KIM-1.&volume=34&issue=3&spage=436&epage=442&date=2020&doi=10.20960%2Fnh.02651&pmid=32207310&sid=OVID:medline + +<1403> +Unique Identifier + 32200256 +Title + Thyme oxymel by improving of inflammation, oxidative stress, dyslipidemia and homeostasis of some trace elements ameliorates obesity induced by high-fructose/fat diet in male rat. +Source + Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy. 126:110079, 2020 Jun. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Nimrouzi M; Abolghasemi J; Sharifi MH; Nasiri K; Akbari A +Authors Full Name + Nimrouzi, Majid; Abolghasemi, Jafar; Sharifi, Mohammad Hossein; Nasiri, Khadijeh; Akbari, Abolfazl. +Institution + Nimrouzi, Majid.

The molecular mechanisms of anti-hyperlipidemic and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of thyme oxymel or oxymel and its role on homeostasis of trace elements are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti- hyperlipidemic effects of different doses of thyme oxymel and oxymel on obesity induced by high-fat/-fructose diet (HFFD) in male rat. + + METHODS: Eighty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into eleven groups and treated daily for 24 weeks. At the end of the study, serum levels of liver enzymes, lipid profiles, blood glucose, insulin, antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation and TNF-alpha were measured. The hepatic oxidative biomarkers and the genes expression of SREBP-1c, CPT-1, Nrf-2 and NF-kappaB were also studied to determine the molecular mechanism involved in this disease. + + RESULTS: The results showed that HFFD could significantly change the level of oxidative biomarkers, lipid profiles, TNF-alpha, liver enzymes, leptin, insulin and the levels of some trace elements in obese rats compared to control group (p < 0.05), while pretreatment and treatment with thyme oxymel and oxymel in obese rats could significantly ameliorate them and bring some of them back to normal (p < 0.05). The molecular results also showed that HFFD significantly up-regulated the expression of SREBP-1c and NF-kappaB and down-regulated CPT-1 and Nrf-2 expression(p < 0.05). While, pretreatment and treatment with thyme oxymel or oxymel in obese rats could significantly ameliorate them (p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that thyme oxymel or oxymel can alleviate HFFD-induced obesity through improving oxidative stress, inflammation, lipid metabolism, homeostasis of some trace elements, and weight-regulating hormones.

The current manuscript enumerates the extrinsic role of angiogenesis in obesity. + + RESULT: High caloric diet and lack of physical exercise are the most common causes of obesity and related metabolic conditions. A grossly elevated levels of fat in adipose tissue escalate certain complications which further worsen the state of obesity. Enlargement of white adipose tissue (WAT), deposition of fat mass, proliferation of endothelial cells, production of inflammatory cytokines induces the formation of denovo capillaries from parent microvasculature. Also, several intracellular signaling pathways precipitate obesity. Though, angiostatic molecules (endostatin, angiostatin and TNP-470) have been designed to combat obesity and associated complications. + + CONCLUSION: Adipose tissue trigger growth of blood capillaries, and in turn adipose tissue endothelial cells promote pre-adipocyte proliferation. Modulation of angiogenesis and treatment with angiostatic substances may have the potential to impair the progression of obesity. Copyright © 2020.

Biochemical parameters, leptin, adiponectin, and resistin; asymmetric dimethylarginine; interleukin 6; and N-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen, were assessed in plasma. The evaluation of hemodynamic parameters was performed using SphygmoCor 9.0 tonometer. Echocardiography was performed using AlokaAlpha 10 Premier device. + + RESULTS: Overweight and obese patients had significantly higher concentration of leptin (34 vs 18 ng/ml; p = 0.03), ADMA (0.43 vs 0.38 mumol/l, p = 0.04), and lower concentration of adiponectin (5.3 vs 7 mug/ml, p = 0.01). The only significant difference in tonometry analysis was higher aortic pulse pressure (mmHg) in patients with BMI >= 25 kg/m2 group (34 vs 30; p = 0.03). These patients had also significantly lower peak systolic velocity and early diastolic velocity in tissue Doppler imaging of the right ventricle free wall at the level of the tricuspid annulus compared with controls (p = 0.02 and p = 0.001, respectively). The level of leptin is correlated negatively with the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (R Spearman = - 0.5; p = 0.002) and PWV (R = - 0.4; p = 0.01) and ADMA with total and LDL cholesterol (R = - 0.42; p = 0.008), and adiponectin is correlated positively with HDL cholesterol (R = 0.67; p = 0.0001). + + CONCLUSIONS: Leptin concentrations were inversely proportional to LVMI and PWV in patients with BMI < 25 kg/m2. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov study ID: NCT04175080. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cardiotonic Agents). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.1007%2fs11845-020-02211-9 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Paduszynska&issn=0021-1265&title=Irish+Journal+of+Medical+Science&atitle=Cardioprotective+properties+of+leptin+in+patients+with+excessive+body+mass.&volume=189&issue=4&spage=1259&epage=1265&date=2020&doi=10.1007%2Fs11845-020-02211-9&pmid=32198598&sid=OVID:medline + +<1406> +Unique Identifier + 32192153 +Title + Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase 2 Expression Is Elevated in Obese Humans and Decreased by Physical Activity. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 21(6), 2020 Mar 17. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Khadir A; Kavalakatt S; Madhu D; Cherian P; Al-Mulla F; Abubaker J; Tiss A +Author NameID + Al-Mulla, Fahd; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5409-3829 +Authors Full Name + Khadir, Abdelkrim; Kavalakatt, Sina; Madhu, Dhanya; Cherian, Preethi; Al-Mulla, Fahd; Abubaker, Jehad; Tiss, Ali. +Institution + Khadir, Abdelkrim.

EPHX2 metabolizes anti-inflammatory epoxyeicosatrienoic acids into pro-inflammatory diols. The contribution of EPHX2 activity to human obesity remains unexplored. We compared the expression of EPHX2 between lean and obese humans (n = 20 each) in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using RT-PCR, Western Blot analysis, immunohistochemistry, and confocal microscopy before and after a 3-month physical activity regimen. We also assessed EPHX2 levels during preadipocyte differentiation in humans and mice. EPHX2 mRNA and protein expression were significantly elevated in obese subjects, with concomitant elevated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress components (the 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein; GRP78, and the Activating transcription factor 6; ATF6) and inflammatory markers (Tumor necrosis factor-alpha; TNFalpha, and Interleukin 6; IL6) as compared to controls (p < 0.05). EPHX2 mRNA levels strongly correlated with adiposity markers. In obese individuals, physical activity attenuated EPHX2 expression levels in both the SAT and PBMCs, with a parallel decrease in ER stress and inflammation markers. EPHX2 expression was also elevated during differentiation of both human primary and 3T3-L1 mouse preadipocytes. Mediators of cellular stress (palmitate, homocysteine, and macrophage culture medium) also increased EPHX2 expression in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.

IRF5 is implicated with macrophage polarization toward the inflammatory M1-phenotype, nonetheless, changes in the adipose expression of IRF5 in T2D and relationship of these changes with other markers of adipose inflammation remain unclear. Therefore, we determined the IRF5 gene expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue samples from 46 T2D patients including 35 obese (Body Mass Index/BMI 33.83 +/- 0.42kg/m2) and 11 lean/overweight individuals (BMI 27.55 +/- 0.46kg/m2) using real-time qRT-PCR. IRF5 protein expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy. Fasting plasma glucose, insulin, HbA1c, C-reactive protein, cholesterol, low- and high-density lipoproteins (LDL/HDL), and triglycerides were measured using commercial kits. IRF5 gene expression was compared with that of signature inflammatory markers and several clinico-metabolic indicators. The data (mean +/- SEM) show the enhanced adipose IRF5 gene (p = 0.03) and protein (p = 0.05) expression in obese compared to lean/overweight diabetic patients. Adipose IRF5 transcripts in diabetic obese individuals associated positively with those of TNF-alpha, IL-18, IL-23A, CXCL8, CCL2, CCL7, CCR1/5, CD11c, CD68, CD86, TLR4/7/10, Dectin-1, FGL-2, MyD88, NF-kappaB, IRF3, and AML1 (p < 0.05). In diabetic lean/overweight subjects, IRF5 expression associated with BMI, body fat %age, glucose, insulin, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-5, and IL-1RL1 expression; while in all T2D patients, IRF5 expression correlated with that of IRF4, TLR2/8, and CD163. In conclusion, upregulated adipose tissue IRF5 expression in diabetic obese patients concurs with the inflammatory signatures and it may represent a potential marker for metabolic inflammation in obesity/T2D. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (IRF5 protein, human). 0 (Interferon Regulatory Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Initially, it was thought that the main role was only the metabolism control. Later, ADPN receptors were also found in the central nervous system (CNS). In fact, the receptors AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 are expressed in various areas of the brain, including the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and cortex. While AdipoR1 regulates insulin sensitivity through the activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, AdipoR2 stimulates the neural plasticity through the activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) pathway that inhibits inflammation and oxidative stress. Overall, based on its central and peripheral actions, ADPN appears to have neuroprotective effects by reducing inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (PCR), interleukin 6 (IL6), and Tumor Necrosis Factor a (TNFa). Conversely, high levels of inflammatory cascade factors appear to inhibit the production of ADPN, suggesting bidirectional modulation. In addition, ADPN appears to have insulin-sensitizing action. It is known that a reduction in insulin signaling is associated with cognitive impairment. Based on this, it is of great interest to investigate the mechanism of restoration of the insulin signal in the brain as an action of ADPN, because it is useful for testing a possible pharmacological treatment for the improvement of cognitive decline. Anyway, if ADPN regulates neuronal functioning and cognitive performances by the glycemic metabolic system remains poorly explored. Moreover, although the mechanism is still unclear, women compared to men have a doubled risk of developing cognitive decline. Several studies have also supported that during the menopausal transition, the estrogen reduction can adversely affect the brain, in particular, verbal memory and verbal fluency. During the postmenopausal period, in obese and insulin-resistant individuals, ADPN serum levels are significantly reduced. Our recent study has evaluated the relationship between plasma ADPN levels and cognitive performances in menopausal women. Thus, the aim of this review is to summarize both the mechanisms and the effects of ADPN in the central nervous system and the relationship between plasma ADPN levels and cognitive performances, also in menopausal women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (ADIPOR1 protein, human). 0 (ADIPOR2 protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Estrogens). 0 (Insulin). 0 (PPAR alpha). 0 (Receptors, Adiponectin).

We aimed to investigate the characteristics of serum thyroid hormones in different metabolic phenotypes of obesity. Methods: The study included 1,023 community-based euthyroid subjects (age range: 27-81 years), of whom 586 were women. Fat% was detected by a bioelectrical impedance analyzer. Two definitions of obesity were applied as follows: (1) fat% >= 25% for men and >= 30% for women; (2) body mass index (BMI) >= 25 kg/m2. According to the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome by the Chinese Diabetes Society, metabolically unhealthy was defined as two or more components of metabolic syndrome, excluding waist circumference. Serum-free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Results: The proportions of obesity defined by fat% and BMI were 41.3 and 27.1%, respectively. The proportion of metabolically unhealthy was 41.6%. After adjusting for age and gender, regardless of the definitions based on fat% or BMI, FT3 was positively related to both the MHO and the metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) phenotypes [MHO: odds ratio (OR)s = 1.676 based on fat% and 2.055 based on BMI; MUO: ORs = 1.818 based on fat% and 1.526 based on BMI; all P < 0.05]; FT4 was negatively related to the MUO phenotype (ORs = 0.870 based on fat% and 0.849 based on BMI, all P < 0.05); FT3/FT4 was also positively related to both the MHO and the MUO phenotypes (MHO: ORs = 1.678 based on fat% and 2.825 based on BMI; MUO: ORs = 2.866 based on fat% and 2.883 based on BMI; all P < 0.05); and TSH was positively related to the metabolically unhealthy non-obese phenotype (ORs = 1.329 based on fat% and 1.321 based on BMI, all P < 0.01). Conclusions: In euthyroid population, both the MHO and the MUO phenotypes were characterized by increased FT3 and FT3/FT4 levels.

Unlike linear RNA, circRNAs are covalently closed transcripts mostly generated from precursor-mRNA by a non-canonical event called back-splicing. They are highly stable, evolutionarily conserved, and widely distributed in eukaryotes. Some circRNAs are believed to fulfill a variety of functions inside the cell mainly by acting as microRNAs (miRNAs) or RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) sponges. Furthermore, mounting evidence suggests that the misregulation of circRNAs is among the first alterations in various metabolic disorders including obesity, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. More recent research has revealed that circRNAs also play a substantial role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM) and related vascular complications. These findings have added a new layer of complexity to our understanding of DM and underscored the need to reexamine the molecular pathways that lead to this disorder in the context of epigenetics and circRNA regulatory mechanisms. Here, I review current knowledge about circRNAs dysregulation in diabetes and describe their potential role as innovative biomarkers to predict diabetes-related cardiovascular (CV) events. Finally, I discuss some of the actual limitations to the promise of these RNA transcripts as emerging therapeutics and provide recommendations for future research on circRNA-based medicine. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Circular). 0 (RNA, Untranslated). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We designed an umbrella review to systematically assess the epidemiological credibility of the associations of non-genetic factors with risk of AF. We searched PubMed and EMBASE from inception to December 31, 2018 to identify systematic reviews and meta-analyses of observational studies for the association of non-genetic factors with risk of AF. For each meta-analysis, we used the random-effects model, and we estimated the 95% confidence and prediction intervals. We also assessed between-study heterogeneity, small-study effects and excess significance bias. We identified 34 eligible papers that examined 51 associations of 42 unique non-genetic factors with risk of AF. Eighteen associations remained statistically significant at P value < 1 x 10-6. Thirty-one associations presented large or very large between-study heterogeneity. Eight associations presented evidence for small-study effects and 13 associations had evidence for excess significance bias. Ten associations, i.e. corrected QT interval, alcohol consumption (highest vs. lowest category, per 1 drink/day increase), body mass index (> 30 units vs. < 30 units, per 5 units increase), waist circumference, body weight, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and smoking (ever vs. never, per 10 cigarettes/day increase) were supported by convincing or highly suggestive evidence in meta-analyses of prospective cohort studies. Type 2 diabetes mellitus, markers of adiposity, alcohol consumption, smoking, and corrected QT interval constitute credible risk factors of AF. Our proposed grading may guide the design of future studies, including Mendelian randomization studies, to assess whether these associations are causal. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.1007%2fs10654-020-00618-3 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Belbasis&issn=0393-2990&title=European+Journal+of+Epidemiology&atitle=Environmental+factors%2C+serum+biomarkers+and+risk+of+atrial+fibrillation%3A+an+exposure-wide+umbrella+review+of+meta-analyses.&volume=35&issue=3&spage=223&epage=239&date=2020&doi=10.1007%2Fs10654-020-00618-3&pmid=32180061&sid=OVID:medline + +<1412> +Unique Identifier + 32179559 +Title + Has working-age morbidity been declining?

However, little attention has been given to changes over time in morbidity in the working-age population, particularly outside the USA, despite its importance for health monitoring and social policy. This study therefore asks: what are the changes over time in working-age morbidity in England over two decades? + + DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: We use a high-quality annual cross-sectional survey, the Health Survey for England (HSE) 1994-2014. HSE uses a random sample of the English household population, with a combined sample size of over 140 000 people. We produce a newly harmonised version of HSE that maximises comparability over time, including new non-response weights. While HSE is used for monitoring population health, it has hitherto not used for investigating morbidity as a whole. + + OUTCOME MEASURES: We analyse all 39 measures that are fully comparable over time-including chronic disease diagnoses, symptomatology and a number of biomarkers-adjusting for gender and age. + + RESULTS: We find a mixed picture: we see improving cardiovascular and respiratory health, but deteriorations in obesity, diabetes, some biomarkers and feelings of extreme anxiety/depression, alongside stability in moderate mental ill-health and musculoskeletal-related health. In several domains we also see stable or rising chronic disease diagnoses even where symptomatology has declined. While data limitations make it challenging to combine these measures into a single morbidity index, there is little systematic trend for declining morbidity to be seen in the measures that predict self-reported health most strongly. + + CONCLUSIONS: Despite considerable falls in working-age mortality-and the assumptions of many policy-makers that morbidity will follow mortality - there is no systematic improvement in overall working-age morbidity in England from 1994 to 2014.

To investigate the translational potential in humans, we evaluated the effects of dietary methionine and cysteine restriction on cardiometabolic risk factors, plasma and urinary amino acid profile, serum fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), and subcutaneous adipose tissue gene expression in women with overweight and obesity in a double-blind randomized controlled pilot study. + + METHODS: Twenty women with overweight or obesity were allocated to a diet low (Met/Cys-low, n = 7), medium (Met/Cys-medium, n = 7) or high (Met/Cys-high, n = 6) in methionine and cysteine for 7 days. The diets differed only by methionine and cysteine content. Blood and urine were collected at day 0, 1, 3 and 7 and subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies were taken at day 0 and 7. + + RESULTS: Plasma methionine and cystathionine and urinary total cysteine decreased, whereas FGF21 increased in the Met/Cys-low vs. Met/Cys-high group. The Met/Cys-low group had increased mRNA expression of lipogenic genes in adipose tissue including DGAT1. When we excluded one participant with high fasting insulin at baseline, the Met/Cys-low group showed increased expression of ACAC, DGAT1, and tendencies for increased expression of FASN and SCD1 compared to the Met/Cys-high group. The participants reported satisfactory compliance and that the diets were moderately easy to follow. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that dietary methionine and cysteine restriction may have beneficial effects on circulating biomarkers, including FGF21, and influence subcutaneous adipose tissue gene expression. These results will aid in the design and implementation of future large-scale dietary interventions with methionine and cysteine restriction.

We assessed estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), conventional risk factors including adiposity indices, and metabolic changes and plasma resistin concentrations (ELISA) and the homeostasis model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Relationships independent of haemodynamic loads were confirmed using ambulatory blood pressure and central arterial haemodynamics. + + RESULTS: In multivariate regression models conducted in those without DM, HOMA-IR (standardised beta-coefficient = -0.13 +/- 0.03, p < 0.0001) and plasma resistin concentrations (beta-coefficient = -0.10 +/- 0.02, p < 0.0001) were second only to age, and at least as strong as systolic blood pressure (beta -coefficient = -0.04 +/- 0.03, p = 0.19) in the impact on eGFR, while alternative conventional risk factors including adiposity indices and the metabolic syndrome features contributed little to eGFR. Similar results were obtained in relationships with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in the whole group including those with DM. Adjustments for ambulatory blood pressure or central arterial loads did not influence these relationships. + + CONCLUSIONS: The impact on glomerular function of insulin resistance and inflammatory changes is well beyond modifiable conventional risk factors, including the metabolic syndrome. Targeting conventional risk factors alone is likely to result in a marked residual risk of renal damage produced by insulin resistance and inflammation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Insulin). 0 (RETN protein, human). 0 (Resistin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.5830%2fCVJA-2019-057 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Norman&issn=1015-9657&title=Cardiovascular+Journal+of+Africa&atitle=Impact+of+metabolic+and+inflammatory+changes+on+glomerular+function+beyond+conventional+risk+factors+in+an+urban+South+Africa+community+with+prevalent+obesity.&volume=31&issue=4&spage=91&epage=102&date=2020&doi=10.5830%2FCVJA-2019-057&pmid=32159582&sid=OVID:medline + +<1415> +Unique Identifier + 32159445 +Title + The rs822396 Polymorphism of the ADIPOQ Gene Is Associated with Anthropometric, Clinical, and Biochemical Alterations Related to the Metabolic Syndrome in the Mexican Population. +Source + Metabolic Syndrome & Related Disorders. 18(5):243-250, 2020 06. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Rubio-Chavez LA; Rosales-Gomez RC; Rubio-Chavez KL; Ramos-Nunez JL; Garcia-Cobian TA; Camargo-Hernandez G; Sanchez-Corona J; Gutierrez-Rubio SA +Authors Full Name + Rubio-Chavez, Lidia Ariadna; Rosales-Gomez, Roberto Carlos; Rubio-Chavez, Keren-Hapuc Lilian; Ramos-Nunez, Julia Leonila; Garcia-Cobian, Teresa Arcelia; Camargo-Hernandez, Gabriela; Sanchez-Corona, Jose; Gutierrez-Rubio, Susan Andrea. +Institution + Rubio-Chavez, Lidia Ariadna.

The polymorphism rs822396 in ADIPOQ gene was previously associated with diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome components in Caucasian and Asiatic populations. The aim was to evaluate the association of the rs822396 polymorphism of the ADIPOQ gene with anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical alterations related to the metabolic syndrome in the Mexican population. Materials and Methods: Measurements, as well as peripheral blood for DNA extraction, were obtained from 434 participants from Mexico. The rs822396 polymorphism genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Statistical analysis was made with IBM-SPSSv20. Results: The rs822396G allele frequency was 22.1% in the Mexican population analyzed. In this study were detected differences according to G allele or GG genotype with the highest means, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), body fat percentage, visceral fat, systolic arterial tension, glucose levels, triglyceride levels, total cholesterol (TC) levels, very low-density lipoprotein, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase and with triglycerides/glucose index. Significant differences were found with increased risk in the dominant model (AG/GG) of anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical alterations with regard to metabolic syndrome as the BMI [odds ratio (OR) = 2.19], WC (OR = 2.00), waist/hip index (OR = 1.65), body fat percentage (OR = 2.76), visceral fat (OR = 1.84), glucose levels (OR = 1.95), triglyceride levels (OR = 2.75), TC levels (OR = 1.63), high-density lipoprotein (OR = 1.86), and insulin resistance surrogated by the Triglyceride/glucose index (OR = 2.64). Conclusion: The rs822396 polymorphism of the ADIPOQ gene seems to be a risk factor for obesity and metabolic alterations with regard to the metabolic syndrome in the Mexican population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The fat in the liver leads to accumulation of a large number of intrahepatic lipid droplets (LD), which are susceptible to oxidation. Obesity also affects skeletal muscle, increasing LD and producing insulin signaling impairment. Physalis peruviana L. (PP) (Solanaceae) is rich in peruvioses and has high antioxidant activity. We assessed the ability of PP to enhance insulin-dependent glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and the capacity to prevent both inflammation and lipoperoxidation in the liver of diet-induced obese mice. Male C57BL/6J mice were divided into groups and fed for eight weeks: control diet (C; 10% fat, 20% protein, 70% carbohydrates); C + PP (300 mg/kg/day); HFD (60% fat, 20% protein, 20% carbohydrates); and HFD + PP. Results suggest that PP reduces the intracellular lipoperoxidation level and the size of LD in both isolated hepatocytes and skeletal muscle fibers. PP also promotes insulin-dependent skeletal muscle glucose uptake. In conclusion, daily consumption of 300 mg/kg of fresh pulp of PP could be a novel strategy to prevent the hepatic lipoperoxidation and insulin resistance induced by obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Plant Extracts). 0 (Protective Agents). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.3390%2fnu12030700 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Fuente&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Physalis+peruviana+L.+Pulp+Prevents+Liver+Inflammation+and+Insulin+Resistance+in+Skeletal+Muscles+of+Diet-Induced+Obese+Mice.&volume=12&issue=3&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fnu12030700&pmid=32151028&sid=OVID:medline + +<1418> +Unique Identifier + 32142970 +Title + Daily watermelon consumption decreases plasma sVCAM-1 levels in overweight and obese postmenopausal women. +Source + Nutrition Research. 76:9-19, 2020 04. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Shanely RA; Zwetsloot JJ; Jurrissen TJ; Hannan LC; Zwetsloot KA; Needle AR; Bishop AE; Wu G; Perkins-Veazie P +Authors Full Name + Shanely, R Andrew; Zwetsloot, Jennifer J; Jurrissen, Thomas J; Hannan, Lauren C; Zwetsloot, Kevin A; Needle, Alan R; Bishop, Anna E; Wu, Guoyao; Perkins-Veazie, Penelope. +Institution + Shanely, R Andrew.

The purpose of this study was to determine if watermelon supplementation affects select systemic markers of atherosclerosis and measures of insulin resistance in overweight and obese postmenopausal women. We hypothesized that overweight and obese postmenopausal women consuming 100% watermelon puree daily for 6 weeks would have improved levels of select systemic markers connected with cardiovascular disease without changing markers of insulin resistance. To test this hypothesis, overweight and obese postmenopausal women were recruited to participate in this study. Participants were randomly assigned to either the control group (no intervention) or the watermelon puree group (WM) for 6 weeks. Plasma concentration of markers connected with atherosclerosis and glycemic control were measured pre- and poststudy. A significant 6% decrease in soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 occurred pre- to poststudy in WM, P=.003. The pattern of change in fasting blood glucose (P=.633), insulin (P=.158), and homeostatic model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (P=.174) did not differ between groups. Pre- to poststudy increases were measured in the fasting plasma concentration of l-arginine (8%, P=.005), cis-lycopene (32%, P=.003), and trans-lycopene (42%, P=.003) in WM. We conclude that 6 weeks of watermelon supplementation improved soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 levels, a marker connected to atherogenesis, independent of changes in body composition or glycemic control.

Biomarkers of appetite have been defined as physiological measures that relate to subjective appetite ratings, measured food intake, or both. Several metabolites including amino acids, lipids and glucose were proposed as key molecules associated with appetite control over 60 years ago, and along with bile acids are all among possible appetite biomarker candidates. Additional metabolites that have been associated with appetite include endocannabinoids, lactate, cortisol and beta-hydroxybutyrate. However, although appetite is a complex integrative process, studies often investigated a limited number of markers in isolation. Metabolomics involves the study of small molecules or metabolites present in biological samples such as urine or blood, and may present a powerful approach to further the understanding of appetite control. Using multiple analytical techniques allows the characterisation of molecules, such as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, bile acids and fatty acids. Metabolomics has proven successful in identifying markers of consumption of certain foods and biomarkers implicated in several diseases. However, it has been underexploited in appetite control or obesity. The aim of the present narrative review is to: (1) provide an overview of existing metabolites that have been identified in human biofluids and associated with appetite control; and (2) discuss the potential of metabolomics to deepen understanding of appetite control in humans. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This cross-sectional study was aimed to compare the inflammatory status of healthy Indian adolescents vis-a-vis their obesity profile. The inflammatory state of urban adolescents attending private and government-funded schools, and the relationship between inflammatory marker levels and anthropometric indices in the study participants from both groups were examined. + + Methods: A total of 4438 study participants (10-17 yr) were chosen from various schools of Delhi, India, and their anthropometric parameters were measured. Plasma adipocytokines (adiponectin, leptin and resistin) of the study participants were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were assayed by a biochemical analyzer. Metabolic syndrome-related risk factors such as waist circumference, hip circumference (HC), fasting glucose, fasting insulin, Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and triglycerides of normal-weight adolescents were also evaluated. + + Results: The level of leptin and CRP increased with increasing adiposity, whereas adiponectin levels were found to be negatively related to obesity. All plasma cytokine levels (adiponectin, leptin and resistin) were significantly elevated in female than male adolescents. Age-based classification revealed a distinct trend of variability in the levels of all the inflammatory markers among adolescents of varying age groups. Significant differences were observed between private and government schoolgoing adolescents in terms of anthropometric and inflammatory parameters, with higher adiposity indices in the former group. The relationship of plasma adipokine and CRP levels with various adiposity indices was found to be distinctly different between private and government schoolgoing students. + + Interpretation & conclusions: Inflammatory markers were significantly elevated in overweight/obese adolescents. The socio-economic condition of urban Indian schoolgoing adolescents reflecting lifestyle transition has profound effects on their adiposity indices and inflammatory states. Longitudinal studies in different regions of the country need to be done to further confirm the findings. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Resistin). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.4103%2fijmr.IJMR_1631_18 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Chakraborty&issn=0971-5916&title=Indian+Journal+of+Medical+Research&atitle=Comparison+of+plasma+adipocytokines+%26+C-reactive+protein+levels+in+healthy+schoolgoing+adolescents+from+private+%26+government-funded+schools+of+Delhi%2C+India.&volume=151&issue=1&spage=47&epage=58&date=2020&doi=10.4103%2Fijmr.IJMR_1631_18&pmid=32134014&sid=OVID:medline + +<1421> +Unique Identifier + 32134010 +Title + Obesity subtypes, related biomarkers & heterogeneity.

The aim of this review was to examine heterogeneous links among the various phenotypes of obesity in adults. Proteins and associated genes in each group were analysed to differentiate between biomarkers. A variety of terms for classification and characterization within this pathology are currently in use; however, there is no clear consensus in terminology. The most significant groups reviewed include metabolically healthy obese, metabolically abnormal obese, metabolically abnormal, normal weight and sarcopenic obese. These phenotypes do not define particular genotypes or epigenetic gene regulation, or proteins related to inflammation. There are many other genes linked to obesity, though the value of screening all of those for diagnosis has low predictive results, as there are no significant biomarkers. It is important to establish a consensus in the terminology used and the characteristics attributed to obesity subtypes. The identification of specific molecular biomarkers is also required for better diagnosis in subtypes of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Proteins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Impaired leptin signaling may also contribute to low adiponectin expression in obese individuals. We assessed the association of leptin and adiponectin with incident type 2 diabetes (T2D), their interactions with sex and obesity status, and mediation by insulin resistance. + + METHODS: We included study participants from the Jackson Heart Study, a prospective cohort of adult African Americans in Jackson, Mississippi, that were free of T2D at the baseline Exam 1. Incident T2D was defined as new cases at Exam 2 or Exam 3. We created separate Cox regression models (hazard ratios per log-transformed ng/mL of leptin and adiponectin) with and without insulin resistance, HOMA-IR. Mediation by insulin resistance was analyzed. Several interactions were assessed, including by sex, HbA1c, and obesity. + + RESULTS: Among our 3363 participants (mean age 53 years, 63% women), 584 developed incident T2D. Leptin was directly associated with incident T2D when modeled without HOMA-IR (HR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.05-1.58). This direct association between leptin and T2D was significant among men (HR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.05-1.69), but nonsignificant among women (HR = 1.24, 95% CI = 0.94-1.64); statistical interaction with sex was nonsignificant (p = 0.65). The associations in all participants and in men were nullified by HOMA-IR (HR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.80-1.22; HR = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.78-1.28, respectively), indicating mediation through insulin resistance (proportion mediated: 1.04), and were not observed in abdominally obese participants. Adiponectin was inversely associated with T2D even after adjustment for HOMA-IR in women (HR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.55-0.84), but not in men (HR = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.62-1.04). The inverse association was present only among abdominally obese participants, and persisted after adjustment for HOMA-IR. + + CONCLUSIONS: Among African Americans in the Jackson Heart Study the association of leptin with incident type 2 diabetes was mediated by insulin resistance. This association was present only among abdominally non-obese participants. Differences by sex appeared: men showed a significant association mediated by insulin resistance. Among abdominally obese participants, adiponectin was inversely associated with incident T2D even after adjustment for HOMA-IR. Our results should inform future clinical trials that aim to reduce the burden of type 2 diabetes through the modification of serum levels of leptin and adiponectin. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Clinical Trial.

Supplementing the diet with bioactive nutrients that can enhance endothelial function, such as fish oil or curcumin, may help to counteract cerebrovascular dysfunction. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: A 16-week double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial was undertaken in 152 older sedentary overweight/obese adults (50-80 years, body mass index: 25-40 kg/m2) to investigate effects of fish oil (2000 mg docosahexaenoic acid + 400 mg eicosapentaenoic acid/day), curcumin (160 mg/day) or a combination of both on cerebrovascular function (measured by Transcranial Doppler ultrasound), systemic vascular function (blood pressure, heart rate and arterial compliance) and cardiometabolic (fasting glucose and blood lipids) and inflammatory (C-reactive protein) biomarkers. The primary outcome, cerebrovascular responsiveness to hypercapnia, was not affected by the interventions. However, cerebral artery stiffness was significantly reduced in males following fish oil supplementation (P = 0.007). Furthermore, fish oil reduced heart rate (P = 0.038) and serum triglycerides (P = 0.006) and increased HDL cholesterol (P = 0.002). Curcumin did not significantly affect these outcomes either alone or in combination with fish oil. + + CONCLUSION: Regular supplementation with fish oil but not curcumin improved biomarkers of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular function. The combined supplementation did not result in additional benefits. Further studies are warranted to identify an efficacious curcumin dose and to characterize (in terms of sex, BMI, cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors) populations whose cerebrovascular and cognitive functions might benefit from either intervention. + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ACTRN12616000732482p.

Leptin is a biomarker that may predict the early development of obesity and greater weight gain in childhood. Newborns with higher neonatal weight have been found to have higher leptin levels in umbilical cord blood (UCB). There are few studies that evaluate leptin levels in UCB according to GWG in women with a normal body mass index (BMI). The aim of the present study was to determine whether the levels of leptin in UCB in neonates born to mothers with a high GWG were higher, compared with levels in newborns whose mothers had a low GWG. Methods A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted on 65 primigravidas. They were under 30 years of age, had normal pregestational BMIs, no associated diseases and were classified as having high (n = 22) or low (n = 43) GWG. The neonatal UCB leptin levels were measured and both neonatal and maternal anthropometric evaluations were carried out. The quantitative variables were compared through the Mann-Whitney U test and Student's t test, as appropriate. Results UCB leptin levels were higher in the neonates whose mothers were in the high GWG group, compared with those born to mothers in the low GWG group (7.0 [1.9-11.4] vs. 2.9 [1.2-6.7] ng/mL, p = 0.020). When stratified by sex, that difference was maintained only in male neonates. Conclusions UCB leptin levels were higher in neonates born to mothers with a high GWG, compared with those in newborns whose mothers had a low GWG. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

We aimed to evaluate this relationship in the nondiabetic Asian population. + + METHODS: Between 2001-2003, 8175 adults (mean age 51.5 years, 53% women) without both existing atrial fibrillation and diabetes and with insulin resistance measures at baseline were enrolled and were followed by biennial electrocardiograms thereafter until 2014. We constructed multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models for risk of incident atrial fibrillation. + + RESULTS: Over a median follow-up of 12.3 years, 136 participants (1.89/1000 person-years) developed atrial fibrillation. Higher homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was independently associated with newly developed atrial fibrillation (hazard ratio 1.61, 95% confidence interval 1.14-2.28). Atrial fibrillation development increased at the HOMA-IR levels approximately between 1-2.5, and then plateaued afterwards (p = 0.031). + + CONCLUSION: There is a significant relationship between insulin resistance and atrial fibrillation development independent of other known risk factors, including obesity in a nondiabetic Asian population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Alliin is the main organosulfur compound in garlic and has beenshown to induce a decrease in the expression of proinflammatory cytokines; its systemic effect onmetabolic parameters and adipose tissue is not yet known, however. After nine weeks of HFD andwith obesity established in C57BL/6 mice, we observed that a daily treatment with alliin for 3.5weeks (15 mg/kg) did not affect body weight, but significantly improved insulin sensitivity andglucose tolerance, both evaluated through a blood glucose monitoring system. Once alliin treatmentwas completed, serum, adipose tissue, and organs of interest related to metabolism were removedfor further analysis. We observed that alliin significantly decreased the size of adipocytes fromepididymal adipose tissue, evaluated via microscopy. A decrease in gene expression and serumprotein levels of the adipocytokines leptin and resistin, as well as decreased serum IL-6concentration, were detected by qRT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. It did not, however, affectmRNA expression of antioxidant enzymes in the liver. Taken altogether, these results indicate thattreatment with alliin reduces metaflammation markers in DIO mice and improves some metabolicparameters without affecting others. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (aliin).

In order to retrieve reliable estimates, I exploit the fact that medical guidelines cause a discontinuity in the probability that General Practitioners (GP) diagnose their patients with T2D as a function of exact blood test cut-off in a regression discontinuity design (RDD) approach. Using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), I find compelling evidence that health information, in the form of T2D diagnosis, influences the protection of health into old age. Specifically, after receiving T2D diagnosis, over time, individuals reported a 2.1 lower body mass index (BMI) as well as 5.5 cm lower waist circumference, relative to their counterparts. With respect to self-reported physical health, the results imply that those diagnosed with T2D reported a 0.19 and 0.70 higher score in increased activities of daily living (ADL) and body mobility indexes, respectively. Finally, while I find evidence that T2D-diagnosed patients reported a significant, 0.5 higher, score in the word listening test, I find no evidence that T2D diagnosis impacted self-reported depression levels. I provide a wide variety of evidence on the validity of the results. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

It is more common in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and co-exists with peripheral neuropathy. Prevalence of PAD in type 2 DM patients in northern Nigeria is largely unknown. We investigated the occurrence and factors associated with PAD among patients with type 2 DM in a tertiary hospital in northern Nigeria. + + METHODS: This was a cross- sectional analytic study. We recruited 200 patients with type 2 DM consecutively from the diabetes clinic of the Jos University Teaching Hospital. Ankle brachial index was assessed for each participant. Clinical information, anthropometric indices and blood samples were collected for assay. Data was analysed using CDC Epi-Info and logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent correlates of PAD. + + RESULTS: PAD was present in 38.5%(n = 77) of subjects and it was associated with the female sex, age >= 50 years, Body mass index (BMI) >= 25 kg/m2 and low HDL cholesterol levels. However, on multiple logistic regression, a BMI >= 25 kg/m2 and a low HDL cholesterol level were independent correlates of PAD(adjusted OR = 2.13,95% CI = 1.04-4.36 and adjusted OR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.04-5.15, respectively). + + CONCLUSION: PAD is present in more than a third of patients with type 2 DM in a tertiary hospital in northern Nigeria.

We investigated if similar relation exists in people living with HIV (PLWH). + + METHODS: We included male PLWH aged 20-65, with undetectable viral load for at least 6 months. Data on levels of education, anthropometric measurements, CD4 levels, ART, markers of metabolic syndrome, smoking and concurrent treatment were collected from database. Concentrations of TNF-alpha and IL-6 were measured. An ultrasound was used to establish the presence of steatosis, visceral fat thickness and carotid intima media thickness. An extensive NC assessment was done by an experienced neuropsychologist. Cognitive domains were defined as executive functions, divergent reasoning, visuo-constructional abilities, delayed recall and working memory and learning and were measured using a battery of 12 tests. + + RESULTS: 88 PLWH were included (mean age 39,9 years), 51% on PIs, 46% on NNRTI; 20,4% had metabolic syndrome, 42% patients had steatosis. Weak but statistically significant negative correlations were found between the presence of metabolic syndrome, steatosis and VFT and cognitive domains (divergent reasoning, delayed recall and working memory). Poorer perfomrance in the domains of divergent reasoning and in the working memory were found in participants with steatosis (p=0,048 and 0,033 respectively). + + CONCLUSION: Although the sample size was relatively small, our results show consistent correlations between the observed neurocognitive variables and metabolic parameters. As central obesity is one of the contributors to NCI, it would be one of the modifiable factors to prevent further neurocognitive decline.

However, it remained unclear whether the spleen contributed to the effect of obese mice with infection. The study was purposed to reveal the histopathological changes of the spleen caused by oxidative stress and inflammation in diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice challenged by Escherichia coli. After infection, the spleen tissues were obtained in normal and DIO mice at 0 h (uninfected), 12 h, 24 h, and 72 h postinfection. Results revealed that DIO mice have higher contents of resistin, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1beta in the spleen than normal mice and lower concentrations of GSH-Px, SOD, and CAT and higher MDA than normal mice. After an intranasal drip of E. coli, the activities of GSH-Px, SOD, and CAT in the DIO mice were elevated and the content of MDA declined. The activities of SOD and CAT in the normal mice declined, and the content of MDA was elevated. Moreover, the contents of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1beta in the spleen declined in DIO mice at 24 and 72 h, although the contents of leptin, resistin, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1beta were elevated at 12 h. The contents of resistin, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1beta were elevated in normal mice at 12 and 24 h. Those results indicated that obesity elevated splenic oxidation and inflammatory levels, but it enhanced antioxidant capacity and reduced cytokine levels of the spleen in mice to resist splenic injury after an intranasal drip of E. coli.

From a baseline blood draw, we measured endogenous estradiol and 69 inflammation biomarkers: cytokines, chemokines, adipokines, angiogenic factors, growth factors, acute phase proteins, and soluble receptors. We evaluated the estradiol-inflammation relationship by assessing associations across different models (linear, ordinal logistic, and binary logistic) using a variety of estradiol classifications. We additionally investigated the estradiol-inflammation relationship stratified by baseline obesity status (BMI < 30 stratum and BMI > 30 stratum). + + RESULTS: Associations of estradiol with 7 inflammation biomarkers met p < 0.05 statistical significance in linear and ordinal models: C-reactive protein (CRP), adiponectin, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand-6, thymus activation-regulated chemokine, eosinophil chemotactic protein, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and serum amyloid A. The positive association between estradiol and CRP was robust to model changes. Each standard deviation increase in endogenous estradiol doubled a woman's odds of having CRP levels higher than the study median (odds ratio 2.29; 95% confidence interval 1.28, 4.09). Estradiol was consistently inversely associated with adiponectin. Other estradiol-inflammation biomarker associations were not robust to model changes. + + CONCLUSIONS: Endogenous estradiol appears to be associated with CRP and adiponectin; the evidence is limited for other inflammation biomarkers. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 4TI98Z838E (Estradiol). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.1007%2fs10552-020-01280-6 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Eldridge&issn=0957-5243&title=Cancer+Causes+%26+Control&atitle=Endogenous+estradiol+and+inflammation+biomarkers%3A+potential+interacting+mechanisms+of+obesity-related+disease.&volume=31&issue=4&spage=309&epage=320&date=2020&doi=10.1007%2Fs10552-020-01280-6&pmid=32100190&sid=OVID:medline + +<1432> +Unique Identifier + 32099721 +Title + Impact of age on host responses to diet-induced obesity: Development of joint damage and metabolic set points. +Source + Journal of Sport & Health Science. 9(2):132-139, 2020 03. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Collins KH; MacDonald GZ; Hart DA; Seerattan RA; Rios JL; Reimer RA; Herzog W +Authors Full Name + Collins, Kelsey H; MacDonald, Graham Z; Hart, David A; Seerattan, Ruth A; Rios, Jaqueline L; Reimer, Raylene A; Herzog, Walter. +Institution + Collins, Kelsey H.

In recent years, a series of animal models have demonstrated that obesity-inducing diets can result in synovial joint damage (both with and without the superimposition of trauma), which may be related to changes in percentage of body fat and a series of low-level systemic inflammatory mediators. Of note, there is a disparity between whether the dietary challenges commence at weaning, representing a weanling onset, or at skeletal maturity, representing an adult onset of obesity. We wished to evaluate the effect of the dietary exposure time and the age at which animals are exposed to a high-fat and high-sucrose (HFS) diet to determine whether these factors may result in disparate outcomes, as there is evidence suggesting that these factors result in differential metabolic disturbances. Based on dietary exposure time, we hypothesized that rats fed an HFS diet for 14 weeks from weaning (HFS Weanling) would demonstrate an increase in knee joint damage scores, whereas rats exposed to the HFS diet for 4 weeks, starting at 12 weeks of age (HFS Adult) and rats exposed to a standard chow diet (Chow) would not display an increase in knee joint damage scores. + + Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either an HFS diet for 14 weeks from weaning (HFS Weanling) or an HFS diet for 4 weeks, starting at 12 weeks of age (HFS Adult). At sacrifice, joints were scored using the modified Mankin Criteria, and serum was analyzed for a defined subset of inflammatory markers (Interleukin-6, leptin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and tumor necrosis factor alpha). + + Results: When the HFS Weanling and HFS Adult groups were compared, both groups had a similar percent of body fat, although the HFS Weanling group had a significantly greater body mass than the HFS Adult group. The HFS Weanling and HFS Adult animals had a significant increase in body mass and percentage of body fat when compared to the Chow group. Although knee joint damage scores were low in all 3 groups, we found, contrary to our hypothesis, that the HFS Adult group had statistically significant greater knee joint damage scores than the Chow and HFS Weanling groups. Furthermore, we observed that the HFS Weanling group did not have significant differences in knee joint damage scores relative to the Chow group. + + Conclusion: These findings indicate that the HFS Weanling animals were better able to cope with the dietary challenge of an HFS diet than the HFS Adult group. Interestingly, when assessing various serum proinflammatory markers, no significant differences were detected between the HFS Adult and HFS Weanling groups. Although details regarding the mechanisms underlying an increase in knee joint damage scores in the HFS Adult group remain to be elucidated, these findings indicate that dietary exposure time maybe less important than the age at which an HFS diet is introduced. Moreover, increases in serum proinflammatory mediators do not appear to be directly linked to knee joint damage scores in the HFS Weanling group animals but may be partially responsible for the observed knee joint damage in the adults over the very short time of exposure to the HFS diet.

The present study aimed to investigate molecular signatures in peripheral blood of individuals affected by MetS and different degrees of obesity. Metabolic health of 1204 individuals from 1000PLUS cohort was assessed, and 32 subjects were recruited to four study groups: MetS lean, MetS obese, "healthy obese", and healthy lean. Whole-blood transcriptome next generation sequencing with functional data analysis were carried out. MetS obese and MetS lean study participants showed the upregulation of genes involved in inflammation and coagulation processes: granulocyte adhesion and diapedesis (p < 0.0001, p = 0.0063), prothrombin activation pathway (p = 0.0032, p = 0.0091), coagulation system (p = 0.0010, p = 0.0155). The results for "healthy obese" indicate enrichment in molecules associated with protein synthesis (p < 0.0001), mitochondrial dysfunction (p < 0.0001), and oxidative phosphorylation (p < 0.0001). Our results suggest that MetS is related to the state of inflammation and vascular system changes independent of excess body weight. Furthermore, "healthy obese", despite not fulfilling the criteria for MetS diagnosis, seems to display an intermediate state with a lower degree of metabolic abnormalities, before they proceed to a full blown MetS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Clinical Trial.

The eligible participants, aged 65 to 80 years, were selected by a physician. Accordingly, a total number of 63 women with OSO syndrome were recruited and assessed using a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) instrument, body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2, -2.5 <= T-score <= -1.0 of L1-L4, and/or total femur or femoral neck, and gait speed (10-meter walk test (10MWT)) <= 1 (m/s2). The 12-week supervised EBRT was designed to train all major muscle groups for 3 times per week. In the first two sessions, the participants became familiar with targeted number of repetitions (TNRs) and OMNI-resistance exercise scale (OMNI-RES) to control exercise intensity. Following an adaptation phase of 4 weeks (1 set of 12 rep) using low resistance (yellow Thera-Band), exercise intensity progressively increased by adapting the resistance of the elastic band (based on the Thera-Band R force-elongation table) from yellow to red and further to black. The participants in the control group also received telephone contacts or face-to-face interviews on a weekly basis to maintain their typical diet and activity habits. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was employed to determine the main changes (2 timesx2 groups) after 12 weeks of training. Partial eta-squared (etap2) was additionally used to determine ES in ANOVA tests. At all the stages of data analysis in this RCT, intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis was performed. The results of two-way ANOVA showed significant elevations in E2 (F = 7.881, p = 0.006, ES = 0.079), MQ (F = 4.225, p = 0.043, ES = 0.044), OSO Z-score (F = 7.091, p = 0.030, ES = 0.069), 30-s chair stand test (F = 4.599, p = 0.036, ES = 0.063) and hand grip strength (F = 6.411, p = 0.013, ES = 0.065) in the experimental group compared with those in the controls. Besides, there were no significant differences in CAF (F = 0.456, p = 0.501, ES = 0.005), CTX-I (F = 3.427, p = 0.067, ES = 0.036), adiponectin (F = 2.733, p = 0.102, ES = 0.029), sTnT (F = 3.245, p = 0.075, ES = 0.034), sclerostin (F = 2.927, p = 0.091, ES = 0.034), gait speed (10MWT) (F = 1.524, p = 0.220, ES = 0.016), 6MWT (F = 1.169, p = 0.284, ES = 0.017) and TUG (F = 1.502, p = 0.225, ES = 0.022), BMI (F = 0.354, p = 0.553, ES = 0.004), BFP (F = 2.888, p = 0.093, ES = 0.030), body mass content (BMC) (F = 0.030, p = 0.862, ES = 0.001) and BMD (F = 0.335, p = 0.564, ES = 0.004) between study groups. Taken together, the results of this study illustrated significant differences only in some OSO markers between groups after 48 h of chronic EBRT in women affected with OSO syndrome. Further research is thus recommended to design machine-based and elastic band-based training regimes at different intensities and volumes. Copyright © 2020.

Since the latter is not the best and earliest indicator of obesity and cardiovascular risk, the aim of the study was to evaluate some potential biological markers that would allow us to detect children and adolescents at higher risk at an early stage. + + METHODS: A sample of 330 children and adolescents were included in the study and divided into four groups: obese patients with hypertension, normal-weight patients with hypertension, patients with mildly elevated lipids and a control group of healthy children and adolescents. Some clinical parameters (age, body weight, body height, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, blood pressure), biochemical parameters (glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, apolipoprotein A1, homocysteine) and biological markers of obesity (ghrelin, adiponectin, leptin) were evaluated. + + RESULTS: Ghrelin and adiponectin were found to have a strong negative statistically significant correlation with BMI in all three observed groups (p < 0.001), but not in the control group (p = 0.053 and p = 0.316, respectively). In addition, leptin had a strong positive statistically significant correlation with BMI in all four groups (p < 0.001 for the research groups, p = 0.009 for the controls). In the group of obese patients with hypertension, statistically significant differences in all three markers of obesity were found in comparison to the control group (p < 0.001 for all markers). In the group of patients with mildly elevated lipids, ghrelin and leptin were significantly different (p = 0.002 and p < 0.001, respectively). In the group of normal-weight hypertensive patients, only values of ghrelin were different compared to the control group (p = 0.001). + + CONCLUSION: In the research groups, significant differences were found in clinical, biochemical and biological parameters compared to the control group. The observed biological markers of obesity are useful early markers for identifying groups of patients that are at cardiovascular risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.1186%2fs12887-020-1978-5 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Varda&issn=1471-2431&title=BMC+Pediatrics&atitle=The+associations+between+some+biological+markers%2C+obesity%2C+and+cardiovascular+risk+in+Slovenian+children+and+adolescents.&volume=20&issue=1&spage=81&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.1186%2Fs12887-020-1978-5&pmid=32085704&sid=OVID:medline + +<1437> +Unique Identifier + 32076603 +Title + Adipose Insulin Resistance and Circulating Betatrophin Levels in Women with PCOS. +Source + BioMed Research International. 2020:1253164, 2020. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + He Y; Hu W; Yang G; Guo H; Liu H; Li L +Author NameID + Li, Ling; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0087-3034 +Authors Full Name + He, Yirui; Hu, Wenjin; Yang, Gangyi; Guo, Huilin; Liu, Hua; Li, Ling. +Institution + He, Yirui.

Adipose tissue is an important target organ of insulin, and adipose IR plays an important role in the occurrence and development of PCOS. This study seeks to investigate the role of adipose IR in the development of PCOS and to examine its relationship with circulating betatrophin levels in women with PCOS. A cross-sectional analysis of a cohort of women with PCOS and healthy women was performed in this study. Serum betatrophin concentrations were measured by ELISA. Adipose IR was calculated using the product of fasting insulin and FFA concentrations, and the relationship between adipose IR, circulating betatrophin, and other parameters was analyzed. Adipose IR in women with PCOS was significantly higher than that in controls. We found that women with PCOS who have adipose IR (adipose IR >= 55) have a higher BMI and higher blood glucose, insulin, PRL, FFA, TG, HOMA-IR, AUCglucose, AUCinsulin, VAIfemale, and BAI levels than PCOS-afflicted women without adipose IR, while M-values, and SHBG and LH levels were lower. In women with PCOS, serum betatrophin levels were significantly increased compared with controls. Adipose IR negatively correlated with M values and positively with circulating betatrophin levels in the study population. After metformin treatment, circulating betatrophin levels and adipose IR in women with PCOS were significantly decreased compared with pretreatment. Adipose IR is associated with betatrophin levels in women with PCOS. The combination of adipose IR and circulating betatrophin measurements may be significant for screening patients with PCOS.

The cardiovascular protective effect of empa was evaluated in an experimental model of metabolic syndrome, the obese ZSF1 rat, and its' lean control. + + METHODS: Lean and obese ZSF1 rats were either non-treated or treated with empa (30 mg/kg/day) for 6 weeks. Vascular reactivity was assessed using mesenteric artery rings, systolic blood pressure by tail-cuff sphygmomanometry, heart function and structural changes by echocardiography, and protein expression levels by Western blot analysis. + + RESULTS: Empa treatment reduced blood glucose levels from 275 to 196 mg/dl in obese ZSF1 rats whereas normoglycemia (134 mg/dl) was present in control lean ZSF1 rats and was unaffected by empa. Obese ZSF1 rats showed increased systolic blood pressure, and blunted endothelium-dependent relaxations associated with the appearance of endothelium-dependent contractile responses (EDCFs) compared to control lean rats. These effects were prevented by the empa treatment. Obese ZSF1 rats showed increased weight of the heart and of the left ventricle volume without the presence of diastolic or systolic dysfunction, which were improved by the empa treatment. An increased expression level of senescence markers (p53, p21, p16), tissue factor, VCAM-1, SGLT1 and SGLT2 and a down-regulation of eNOS were observed in the aortic inner curvature compared to the outer one in the control lean rats, which were prevented by the empa treatment. In the obese ZSF1 rats, no such effects were observed. The empa treatment reduced the increased body weight and weight of lungs, spleen, liver and perirenal fat, hyperglycemia and the increased levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides in obese ZSF1 rats, and increased blood ketone levels and urinary glucose excretion in control lean and obese ZSF1 rats. + + CONCLUSION: Empa reduced glucose levels by 28% and improved both endothelial function and cardiac remodeling in the obese ZSF1 rat. Empa also reduced the increased expression level of senescence, and atherothrombotic markers at arterial sites at risk in the control lean, but not obese, ZSF1 rat. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Benzhydryl Compounds). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glucosides). 0 (Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors).

We hypothesized that elevated GIP levels in obesity may affect markers of liver injury through microRNAs. The study involved 128 subjects (body mass index (BMI) 25-40). Fasting and postprandial GIP, glucose, insulin, and lipids, as well as fasting alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), cytokeratin-18, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-19, and FGF-21 were determined. TaqMan low density array was used for quantitative analysis of blood microRNAs. Fasting GIP was associated with ALT [beta = 0.16 (confidence interval (CI): 0.01-0.32)], triglycerides [beta = 0.21 (95% CI: 0.06-0.36], and FGF-21 [beta = 0.20 (95%CI: 0.03-0.37)]; and postprandial GIP with GGT [beta = 0.17 (95%CI: 0.03-0.32)]. The odds ratio for elevated fatty liver index (>73%) was 2.42 (95%CI: 1.02-5.72) for high GIP versus low GIP patients. The miRNAs profile related to a high GIP plasma level included upregulated miR-136-5p, miR-320a, miR-483-5p, miR-520d-5p, miR-520b, miR-30e-3p, and miR-571. Analysis of the interactions of these microRNAs with gene expression pathways suggests their potential contribution to the regulation of the activity of genes associated with insulin resistance, fatty acids metabolism, and adipocytokines signaling. Exaggerated fasting and postprandial secretion of GIP in obesity are associated with elevated liver damage markers as well as FGF-21 plasma levels. Differentially expressed microRNAs suggest additional, epigenetic factors contributing to the gut-liver cross-talk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids). 0 (Insulin). 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (fibroblast growth factor 21). 59392-49-3 (Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide). 62031-54-3 (Fibroblast Growth Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.3390%2fnu12020476 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Goralska&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Enhanced+GIP+Secretion+in+Obesity+Is+Associated+with+Biochemical+Alteration+and+miRNA+Contribution+to+the+Development+of+Liver+Steatosis.&volume=12&issue=2&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fnu12020476&pmid=32069846&sid=OVID:medline + +<1440> +Unique Identifier + 32069304 +Title + Irisin and markers of metabolic derangement in non-diabetic Caucasian subjects with stage I-II obesity during early aging. +Source + PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 15(2):e0229152, 2020. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Campolo J; Corradi E; Rizzardi A; Parolini M; Dellanoce C; Di Guglielmo ML; Tarlarini P; Cattaneo M; Trivella MG; De Maria R +Author NameID + Campolo, Jonica; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1711-6216 +Authors Full Name + Campolo, Jonica; Corradi, Ettore; Rizzardi, Alice; Parolini, Marina; Dellanoce, Cinzia; Di Guglielmo, Maria Luisa; Tarlarini, Patrizia; Cattaneo, Marina; Trivella, Maria Giovanna; De Maria, Renata. +Institution + Campolo, Jonica.

However, gender-balanced data in older populations, in whom risk factors commonly culminate in overt cardiovascular disease, are scarce. We assessed in non-diabetic Caucasian subjects with stage I-II obesity in the early aging range (50 to 70 years), the relationship between irisin, body composition and markers of metabolic derangement by gender. In 60 (31 women, 29 men) non-diabetics with a body mass index >=30 - <=40 kg/m2, we measured anthropometrics and body composition (Air Displacement Plethysmography). We assayed lipid and glucose profile by routine methods, plasma irisin by ELISA and measured insulin resistance by the HOMA index. Irisin levels were higher in women than in men (161 [105-198]) vs 83 [33-115] ng/ml, P<0.001), and correlated directly with HOMA index in both (rho 0.735, P<0.001 M, rho 0.452, P = 0.011 F). Sex differences were maintained across insulin resistance severity stages. In men, irisin concentrations correlated directly with body mass index (rho 0.755, P<0.001), waist circumference (rho 0.623, P<0.001), fat mass index (rho 0.762, P<0.001), glucose (rho 0.408, P = 0.028), the fatty liver index (rho 0.705, P<0.001) and FINDRISC score (rho 0.536, P = 0.003). Among non-diabetic Caucasian subjects with obesity in the early stages of aging, irisin levels reflect the amount of body fat and insulin resistance severity, independently of between-gender differences in the adipomyokine concentrations and are associated with markers of visceral adiposity in men but not in women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (FNDC5 protein, human). 0 (Fibronectins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Our aim was to assess the associations between changes in PA and changes in the inflammatory profile in older individuals who are overweight or obese. + + METHODS: This prospective study included 489 men and women, aged 55-75 years, from the PREDIMED-Plus trial. Levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), interleukin 18 (IL-18), monocyte chemo-attractant protein-1 (MCP-1), C-peptide, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), leptin, and regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted chemokine (RANTES) were obtained from fasting blood samples and a composite inflammatory score based on these biomarkers was calculated. Physical activity was measured by a validated questionnaire. All measures were taken at baseline and one-year follow-up. + + RESULTS: Multiple linear regression models showed an association between an increase in total PA and a decrease in the inflammatory score (p = 0.012), which was particularly driven by a decrease in C-peptide (p = 0.037). Similarly, the inflammatory score decreased with increasing moderate PA (p = 0.001), and moderate-to-vigorous PA (p = 0.006). + + CONCLUSIONS: Increases in total PA, moderate and moderate-to-vigorous PA were associated with a decrease in the inflammatory profile of obese or overweight older individuals. This finding is relevant for PA recommendations and public health strategies. + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY: Clinical trial identifier: International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial 89898870.

Relationships between cardiometabolic biomarkers and sitting time are unexplored in older women, as are possible ethnic differences. Methods and Results Ethnic differences in sitting behavior and associations with cardiometabolic risk were explored in overweight/obese postmenopausal women (n=518; mean+/-SD age 63+/-6 years; mean body mass index 31.4+/-4.8 kg/m2). Accelerometer data were processed using validated machine-learned algorithms to measure total daily sitting time and mean sitting bout duration (an indicator of sitting behavior pattern). Multivariable linear regression was used to compare sitting among Hispanic women (n=102) and non-Hispanic women (n=416) and tested associations with cardiometabolic risk biomarkers. Hispanic women sat, on average, 50.3 minutes less/day than non-Hispanic women (P<0.001) and had shorter (3.6 minutes less, P=0.02) mean sitting bout duration. Among all women, longer total sitting time was deleteriously associated with fasting insulin and triglyceride concentrations, insulin resistance, body mass index and waist circumference; longer mean sitting bout duration was deleteriously associated with fasting glucose and insulin concentrations, insulin resistance, body mass index and waist circumference. Exploratory interaction analysis showed that the association between mean sitting bout duration and fasting glucose concentration was significantly stronger among Hispanic women than non-Hispanic women (P-interaction=0.03). Conclusions Ethnic differences in 2 objectively measured parameters of sitting behavior, as well as detrimental associations between parameters and cardiometabolic biomarkers were observed in overweight/obese older women. The detrimental association between mean sitting bout duration and fasting glucose may be greater in Hispanic women than in non-Hispanic women. Corroboration in larger studies is warranted. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Comparative Study. Journal Article.

The aim of this systematic review was to examine whether domain-specific SB is associated with cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) and related biomarkers in South American adults. Methods: nine electronic databases were searched to identify all studies that analyzed the association between SB and CMD-e.g. obesity, diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome (MetS) and clustering of chronic diseases (CCD)-and related biomarkers in South American adults. Two independent reviewers performed the necessary abstract/full-text screening, data abstraction, and quality assessments. The review protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42018099319). Results: from the 1,262 articles identified in the search 262 were reviewed in full and 20 were used in the analysis in accordance to the inclusion criteria. High SB (mainly sitting and TV time) was associated with an increased likelihood of obesity (n = 8), diabetes (n = 6), and CCD (n = 3), as well as high values of BMI (n = 8), WC (n = 7), % BF (n = 4), plasma lipids (n = 4), and glycemia (n = 5). Eleven out of 20 studies were of higher quality. Conclusion : long time spent in SB, mainly sitting and TV time, was positively associated with the occurrence of CMD and related biomarkers in South American adults. +Other Abstract + Publisher + INTRODUCCION: Introduccion: el comportamiento sedentario (CS) se ha asociado de forma independiente con resultados perjudiciales para la salud en diferentes regiones del mundo. El objetivo de esta revision sistematica fue examinar si el CS especifico de cada dominio se asocia o no a enfermedades cardiometabolicas (ECM) y sus biomarcadores relacionados en adultos sudamericanos. Metodos: se realizaron busquedas en nueve bases de datos electronicas para identificar todos los estudios que habian analizado la asociacion entre CS y ECM -por ejemplo, obesidad, diabetes, hipertension, sindrome metabolico y agrupacion de enfermedades cronicas (AEC)- y sus biomarcadores relacionados en adultos sudamericanos. Dos revisores independientes realizaron evaluaciones de los resumenes/textos completos, el resumen de los datos y evaluaciones de calidad. El protocolo de revision esta registrado en la base de datos PROSPERO (CRD42018099319). Resultados: de los 1262 articulos identificados en la busqueda, 262 se revisaron en su totalidad y 20 se utilizaron en el analisis de acuerdo con los criterios de inclusion. El gran CS (principalmente, tiempo sentado y de television) se asocio a una mayor probabilidad de obesidad (n = 8), diabetes (n = 6) y AEC (n = 3), asi como a valores altos de IMC (n = 8), WC (n = 7), % BF (n = 4), lipidos plasmaticos (n = 4) y glucemia (n = 5). Once de los 20 estudios fueron de alta calidad. Conclusion: la gran cantidad de tiempo invertido en el CS, principalmente el tiempo sentado y de television, se asocio positivamente con la aparicion de ECM y sus biomarcadores relacionados en adultos de America del Sur. + Language: Spanish +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We therefore analyzed measures of vascular structure and function and biomarkers of cardiovascular risk in a sample of young healthy adults. + + METHODS: Pulse-wave velocity (PWV), carotid-intima media thickness (cIMT) and augmentation index (AIX) were measured in 834 healthy non-smokers (ages 18.0-25.9). Emphasis was put on discriminating between individuals having a vascular structure and function associated with a higher or lower risk, and cluster analysis algorithms were employed to assign the subjects into groups based on these vascular measurements. In addition, a vascular status score (VSS) was calculated by summarizing the results according to quintiles of the vascular measurements. The associations between VSS and cardiovascular biomarkers were examined by regression analyses. + + RESULTS: The cluster analyses did not yield sufficiently distinct clustering (groups of individuals that could be categorized unequivocally as having either a vascular structure and function associated with a higher or lower CVD risk). VSS proved a better classificatory variable. The associations between VSS and biomarkers of cardiovascular risk were analyzed by univariable and multivariable regressions. Only body fat percentage and C-reactive protein (CRP) were independently associated with VSS. + + CONCLUSIONS: A VSS calculation, which integrates PWV, cIMT, and AIX measurements is better suited for cardiovascular risk evaluation in young adults than cluster analyses. The independent associations of VSS with body fat percentage and CRP highlight the decisive role of adiposity and systemic inflammation in early atherosclerotic progression and suggests a subordinate role of insulin and lipid metabolism in this age span. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Blood samples were collected before and after treatments and serum, plasma, and mononuclear cells (MNC) were prepared. + + MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Hepcidin and other hematopoietic factors. + + RESULTS: Following dapagliflozin treatment, there was a significant fall in HbA1c and a significant increase in hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit. Dapagliflozin treatment significantly reduced circulating hepcidin and ferritin concentrations while causing a significant increase in levels of the hepcidin inhibitor, erythroferrone, and a transient increase in erythropoietin. Additionally, dapagliflozin increased plasma transferrin levels and expression of transferrin receptors 1 and 2 in MNC, while there was no change in the expression of the iron cellular transporter, ferroportin. Dapagliflozin treatment also caused a decrease in hypoxia-induced factor-1alpha expression in MNC while it increased the expression of its inhibitor, prolyl hydroxylase-2. There were no significant changes in any of these indices in the placebo group. + + CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that dapagliflozin increases erythropoiesis and hematocrit through mechanisms that involve the suppression of hepcidin and the modulation of other iron regulatory proteins.

Adipokines are present not only in blood but also in saliva. Numerous studies have indicated that obesity affects salivary concentrations of adipokines. + + OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of selected inflammatory markers in saliva and to determine their discriminatory value in obese individuals. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 125 patients (82 women and 43 men), aged from 20 to 65 years. There were 59 patients with obesity (body mass index [BMI] >30 kg/m2) and 66 controls with normal body weight (BMI <25 kg/m2). Mixed saliva samples were collected from all participants to determine the concentrations of the following inflammatory markers: tumor necrosis factor- alpha receptors 1 and 2, pentraxin 3, interleukin 15, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1, and soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L). + + RESULTS: Compared with controls, individuals with obesity had significantly higher levels of all inflammatory markers except sCD40L levels, which were lower. The salivary marker sCD40L seems to have the best discriminatory value in obesity regardless of sex, with the optimal cutoff point of 3.28 pg/ml and the area under the curve of 0.8. + + CONCLUSIONS: Obesity may be associated with altered levels of selected inflammatory markers in saliva. The discriminatory values determined in this study may facilitate the diagnosis of metabolic diseases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.20452%2fpamw.15186 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Lehmann&issn=0032-3772&title=Polish+Archives+Of+Internal+Medicine&atitle=Characteristics+of+salivary+inflammation+in+obesity.&volume=130&issue=4&spage=297&epage=303&date=2020&doi=10.20452%2Fpamw.15186&pmid=32041925&sid=OVID:medline + +<1447> +Unique Identifier + 32027700 +Title + Exploratory examination of inflammation state, immune response and blood cell composition in a human obese cohort to identify potential markers predicting cancer risk. +Source + PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 15(2):e0228633, 2020. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Elisia I; Lam V; Cho B; Hay M; Li MY; Kapeluto J; Elliott T; Harris D; Bu L; Jia W; Leung H; Mohn W; Krystal G +Author NameID + Krystal, Gerald; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1961-6281 +Authors Full Name + Elisia, Ingrid; Lam, Vivian; Cho, Brandon; Hay, Mariah; Li, Michael Yu; Kapeluto, Jordanna; Elliott, Tom; Harris, David; Bu, Luke; Jia, William; Leung, Hilary; Mohn, William; Krystal, Gerald. +Institution + Elisia, Ingrid.

However, not all obese people develop these diseases and it would be very helpful to identify those at high risk early on so that preventative measures can be instituted. We performed an extensive evaluation of the effects of obesity on inflammatory markers, on innate and adaptive immune responses, and on blood cell composition to identify markers that might be useful in distinguishing those at elevated risk of cancer. Plasma samples from 42 volunteers with a BMI>35 had significantly higher CRP, PGE2, IL-1RA, IL-6 and IL-17 levels than 34 volunteers with normal BMIs. Of the cytokines and chemokines tested, only IL-17 was significantly higher in men with a BMI>35 than women with a BMI>35. As well, only IL-17 was significantly higher in those with a BMI>35 that had type 2 diabetes versus those without type 2 diabetes. Whole blood samples from participants with a BMI>35, when challenged with E. coli, produced significantly higher levels of IL-1RA while HSV-1 challenge resulted in significantly elevated IL-1RA and VEGF, and a non-significant increase in G-CSF and IL-8 levels. T cell activation of PBMCs, via anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28, resulted in significantly higher IFNgamma production from volunteers with a BMI>35. In terms of blood cells, red blood cell distribution width (RDW), monocytes, granulocytes, CD4+T cells and Tregs were all significantly higher while, natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T cells were all significantly lower in the BMI>35 cohort, suggesting that obesity may reduce the ability to kill nascent tumor cells. Importantly, however, there was considerable person-to-person variation amongst participants with a BMI>35, with some volunteers showing markedly different values from controls and others showing normal levels of many parameters measured. These person-to-person variations may prove useful in identifying those at high risk of developing cancer. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

They constitute a group of various stable compounds. Advanced glycation end-products are considered potential biomarkers of metabolic disorders. However, so far only a few methods to determine the level of individual AGEs have been developed. + + OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to compare the efficiency of the slot-dot blot method and direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in detecting non-standard epitopes of methylglyoxal (MGO)-modified proteins (AGE4) found in diabetes serum in trace amounts, and to assess AGE4 in diabetes and associated metabolic abnormalities. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: The presence of AGE4 was detected using 2 methods: direct ELISA and the slot-dot blot method - a newly developed immunoassay based on monoclonal, commercially available antibody detection of non-standard AGE epitopes. AGE4 quantification, expressed as median AGE4 in arbitrary units (AU) and AGE4 positivity (the percent of samples with detectable AGE4) was related to diabetes-associated metabolic abnormalities, complications and treatment. + + RESULTS: Slot-dot blot was significantly more efficient than ELISA in detecting non-standard AGE4 epitopes. AGE4 positivity was less frequent in patients with microangiopathy and in those with polyneuropathy. In patients with abnormal glucose metabolism, metformin treatment was associated with higher AGE4. AGE4 positivity was significantly lower in gliptin-treated patients. Multivariate analysis showed that polyneuropathy and obesity were independently associated with AGE4 positivity, with odds ratios (ORs) of 0.21 and 3.02, respectively. Moreover, logistic regression showed that AGE4 positivity and HbA1c are independent predictors of polyneuropathy. Considering both indicators allows correct classification of 70.4% of cases with a general accuracy of 76%. + + CONCLUSIONS: The slot dot-blot method detects compounds found in serum in trace amounts. Accumulation of AGE4 was associated with glucose metabolism abnormalities. A tendency toward AGE4 positivity was less frequent in patients with microangiopathy and in non-treated and gliptin-treated diabetes patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Epitopes). 0 (Glycation End Products, Advanced). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.17219%2facem%2f112612 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Bronowicka-Szydelko&issn=1899-5276&title=Advances+in+Clinical+%26+Experimental+Medicine&atitle=Non-standard+AGE4+epitopes+that+predict+polyneuropathy+independently+of+obesity+can+be+detected+by+slot+dot-blot+immunoassay.&volume=29&issue=1&spage=91&epage=100&date=2020&doi=10.17219%2Facem%2F112612&pmid=32017477&sid=OVID:medline + +<1450> +Unique Identifier + 32017362 +Title + Different beta-cell secretory phenotype in non-obese compared to obese early type 2 diabetes. +Source + Diabetes/Metabolism Research Reviews. 36(5):e3295, 2020 07. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Gudipaty L; Rosenfeld NK; Fuller CS; Cuchel M; Rickels MR +Author NameID + Rickels, Michael R; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9253-838X +Authors Full Name + Gudipaty, Lalitha; Rosenfeld, Nora K; Fuller, Carissa S; Cuchel, Marina; Rickels, Michael R. +Institution + Gudipaty, Lalitha.

Because obesity contributes importantly to the development of insulin resistance, we sought to determine whether insulin secretory defects would predominate in non-obese compared to obese T2D. + + METHODS: We measured beta-cell function and secretory capacity using the glucose-potentiated arginine test in T2D subjects early in the disease course classified as non-obese (BMI <30; n = 12) or obese (BMI >=30 kg/m2 ; n = 28) and additionally compared responses from non-obese T2D with a non-diabetic control group (n = 12). + + RESULTS: The acute insulin response to glucose potentiation of arginine-induced insulin release was less in non-obese T2D than in controls and associated with impaired beta-cell sensitivity to glucose (PG50 ). Proinsulin secretory ratios were increased in non-obese T2D when compared to obese T2D. Obese T2D subjects had reduced insulin sensitivity (M/I) while non-obese T2D subjects had insulin sensitivity that was comparable to controls. + + CONCLUSIONS: In non-obese T2D, insulin secretory defects predominate with impaired beta-cell sensitivity to glucose and proinsulin processing in the absence of insulin resistance. Future studies should consider whether different beta-cell secretory phenotypes and tissue sensitivity to insulin explain the varying responsiveness to T2D interventions.

The aim was to evaluate changes in responses of gastrointestinal hormones after RYGB and SG and the associations of these changes with weight loss, energy intake, and food preferences. + + METHODS: Forty-two subjects with severe obesity were included (32 RYGB; 10 SG). Postprandial responses of glicentin, oxyntomodulin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), and ghrelin were measured before and 6 months after surgery. Energy intake and energy density were assessed before and 6 months after surgery using a buffet meal test and weight loss was assessed 18 months after surgery. + + RESULTS: Postprandial concentrations of glicentin, oxyntomodulin, GLP-1, and ghrelin differed between RYGB and SG (all P <= .02). Enhanced responses of glicentin and oxyntomodulin predicted a greater weight loss (both P < .01) and were associated with a larger decrease in energy density (P <= .04). No associations were found for GLP-1, PYY, and ghrelin, and changes were not associated with changes in energy intake. When combing all hormones, 60%, 19%, and 33% of the variations in weight loss, energy intake, and energy density, respectively, could be explained. + + CONCLUSION: Postprandial responses of gastrointestinal hormones differed between RYGB and SG. Enhanced responses of glicentin and oxyntomodulin predicted a better weight loss and were associated with a decreased preference for energy-dense foods. Replication of these results could imply an opportunity to identify patients in need of additional support after surgical treatments of obesity. Copyright © Endocrine Society 2020.

Lipidomics offers an opportunity to identify biomarkers and better understand mechanisms of IR associated with abnormal lipid metabolism. + + OBJECTIVE: The objective of this article is to determine plasma lipid species associated with indices of IR and evaluate the lipidome response to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). + + DESIGN AND SETTING: This study was community based and cross-sectional. + + PARTICIPANTS AND SAMPLE: Plasma samples (collected at 0 and 120 min during an OGTT) from nonobese, young adults age 18 to 34 years (n = 246) were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. + + MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The associations between indices of IR and lipid classes and species (with a sex interaction term), or changes in lipid levels during an OGTT, were tested using linear models (adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides). + + RESULTS: Some (213) and (199) lipid species were associated with the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance and insulin area under curve (AUC), respectively. Alkylphosphatidylcholine (10), alkenylphosphatidylcholine (23), and alkylphosphatidylethanolamine (6) species were associated with insulin AUC in men only. Species of phosphatidylcholine (7) and sphingomyelin (5) were associated in women only. In response to an OGTT, a perturbation in the plasma lipidome, particularly in acylcarnitine species, was observed; and the changes in many lipid species were associated with insulin AUC. + + CONCLUSIONS: The plasma lipidome and changes in lipid levels during an OGTT were associated with indices of IR. These findings underlie the involvement of molecular lipid species in the pathogenesis of IR and possibly crosstalk between IR and sex-specific regulation of lipid metabolism.

The aim of this study was to identify novel NAFLD therapeutic targets andbiomarkers by conducting liver transcriptomic analysis in patients stratified by the presence of the PNPLA3 I148M genetic risk variant. + + DESIGN: We sequenced the hepatic transcriptome of 125 obese individuals. 'Severe NAFLD' was defined as the presence of steatohepatitis, NAFLD activity score >=4 or fibrosis stage >=2. The circulating levels of the most upregulated transcript, interleukin-32 (IL32), were measured by ELISA. + + RESULTS: Carriage of the PNPLA3 I148M variant correlated with the two major components of hepatic transcriptome variability and broadly influenced gene expression. In patients with severe NAFLD, there was an upregulation of inflammatory and lipid metabolism pathways. IL32 was the most robustly upregulated gene in the severe NAFLD group (adjusted p=1x10-6), and its expression correlated with steatosis severity, both in I148M variant carriers and non-carriers. In 77 severely obese, and in a replication cohort of 160 individuals evaluated at the hepatology service, circulating IL32 levels were associated with both NAFLD and severe NAFLD independently of aminotransferases (p<0.01 for both). A linear combination of IL32-ALT-AST showed a better performance than ALT-AST alone in NAFLD diagnosis (area under the curve=0.92 vs 0.81, p=5x10-5). + + CONCLUSION: Hepatic IL32 is overexpressed in NAFLD, correlates with hepatic fat and liver damage, and is detectable in the circulation, where it is independently associated with the presence and severity of NAFLD.

The main purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that experiences of discrimination (recent and lifetime) correlate with biomarkers of stress, oxidative stress, and obesity among adult females. + + METHOD: Data on 62 females who self-identify as African American (AA; n = 31) or European American (EA; n = 31) aged 21-45 years were included. Discrimination experiences (recent and lifetime) were evaluated based on a validated instrument. Stress was assessed based on hair cortisol (HC) and salivary cortisol (SC), hsC-reactive protein (hsCRP), cardiovascular markers, and LDL-cholesterol oxidation. Obesity was measured based on BMI, waist circumference, and body fat percent. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to evaluate the influence of experiences of discrimination. + + RESULTS: Significant differences in experiences of discrimination were observed by race (p < 0.05) and were higher in AA females. Results for the multiple regression models assessing the contribution of discrimination indicate that hsCRP and pulse were significantly associated with recent experiences of discrimination, and SC, HC, hsCRP, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and pulse were significantly associated with lifetime experiences of discrimination when adjusted for BMI and race (p < 0.05). Finally, oxidation of LDL-cholesterol was significantly associated with salivary cortisol (p = 0.0420) when adjusted by lifetime experiences of discrimination (p = 0.0366) but not for BMI (p = 0.6252). + + CONCLUSION: In this cross-sectional study, AA females experienced more discrimination compared to EA females. Levels of recent and lifetime experiences of discrimination were associated with some stress biomarkers.

Method: PCOS (n = 33) and ovulatory controls (n = 48) were recruited for the study. Anthropometric measurements were recorded, and blood samples for hormonal and biochemical parameters including serum OKL38 levels were obtained. The potential role of OKL38 on the development of PCOS, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease (CVD) were investigated. Framingham risk score (FRS) was used for the determination of CVD risk. Results: Mean Ferriman-Gallway (FG) score, insulin, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol (TC) levels, and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were significantly increased (p < .05) in women with PCOS compared to controls. PCOS group had lower mean OKL38 level compared to controls (p < .0001) and OKL38 was negatively predictive for the diagnosis of PCOS after adjustment of variables that were significantly different between two groups. A negative association between OKL38 and metabolic syndrome in PCOS women was evident after adjustment for age, obesity, and abdominal obesity. OKL38 level was also negatively correlated with body mass index, waist-to-hip-ratio, fat composition, serum TC, LDL, free testosterone levels, FRS, and FG scores. Conclusion: OKL38 may have a partial role in the etiopathogenesis of PCOS and may protect development of metabolic syndrome and CVD in women with PCOS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Apoptosis Regulatory Proteins). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (OSGIN1 protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.1080%2f09513590.2020.1718641 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Yetkin+Yildirim&issn=0951-3590&title=Gynecological+Endocrinology&atitle=A+novel+biochemical+marker+-OKL38-+with+its+apoptotic+and+antioxidant+properties+for+the+development+of+PCOS+and+its+related+clinical+implications.&volume=36&issue=8&spage=673&epage=677&date=2020&doi=10.1080%2F09513590.2020.1718641&pmid=31996062&sid=OVID:medline + +<1457> +Unique Identifier + 31991894 +Title + Pomace Olive Oil Concentrated in Triterpenic Acids Restores Vascular Function, Glucose Tolerance and Obesity Progression in Mice. +Source + Nutrients. 12(2), 2020 Jan 26. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Claro-Cala CM; Quintela JC; Perez-Montero M; Minano J; de Sotomayor MA; Herrera MD; Rodriguez-Rodriguez AR +Author NameID + Perez-Montero, Marta; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9573-5330 + de Sotomayor, Maria Alvarez; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8466-1698 +Authors Full Name + Claro-Cala, Carmen Maria; Quintela, Jose Carlos; Perez-Montero, Marta; Minano, Javier; de Sotomayor, Maria Alvarez; Herrera, Maria Dolores; Rodriguez-Rodriguez, And Rosalia. +Institution + Claro-Cala, Carmen Maria.

Considering the vascular actions of pomace olive oil and the potential effects of the isolated oleanolic acid on metabolic complications of obesity, this study investigates for the first time the dietary intervention with a pomace olive oil with high concentrations of the triterpenic acids (POCTA), oleanolic and maslinic acid, during diet-induced obesity in mice. The results demonstrate that obese mice, when switched to a POCTA-diet for 10 weeks, show a substantial reduction of body weight, insulin resistance, adipose tissue inflammation, and particularly, improvement of vascular function despite high caloric intake. This study reveals the potential of a functional food based on pomace olive oil and its triterpenic fraction against obesity progression.

The cluster of metabolic abnormalities has long been identified as the risk factors for type 2 diabetes and is now commonly described as metabolic syndrome/MetS. Insulin resistance takes a key role in the process of the MetS and has even been hypothesized as its underlying cause. Clinical and epidemiologic studies also indicate that inflammatory factors might be correlated with IR. Prospective studies have proved that metabolic syndrome grows during childhood/adolescence and progresses to adulthood T2DM. The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between metabolic syndrome components and low-grade systemic inflammation with insulin resistance in non-diabetic Indonesian adolescent male. + + METHODS: This was a cross-sectional analysis of non-diabetic adolescent male in Indonesian population (n = 128) aged between 18 and 22 years old. MetS components are based on NCEP ATP III (2004) modification for Asia Pacific population. Marker for low-grade systemic inflammation is hsCRP and insulin resistance was determined by HOMA-IR formula. Relevant measures were anthropometry, blood pressure, fasting insulin, serum glucose, lipid profiles and hsCRP. + + RESULTS: Of the 128 adolescent male, we found that 16 subjects (12.5%) have central obesity; 3 subjects (2.3%) have hyperglycemia; 26 subjects (20.3%) have low HDL-c; 19 subjects (14.8%) have high triacylglycerol; 45 subjects (35.2%) have hsCRP >=1.0 mg/dL; 4 subjects (3.1%) have high blood pressure and 39 subjects (30.5%) have insulin resistance. The association of MetS components with the risk of insulin resistance is central obesity and high triacylglycerol with OR of 24.4 (95%CI: 5.19-114.42) and 9.4 (95%CI: 3.09-28.68) consecutively. We also found that low-grade systemic inflammation (hsCRP >=1.0 mg/dL) was strongly associated with incident of insulin resistance with OR 5.2 (95%CI: 2.31-11.64). Meanwhile, we found that high triacylglycerol level is the solely one of five MetS components which has contribution to the incident of systemic low-grade inflammation with OR 3.9 (95%CI: 1.43-10.92). + + CONCLUSION: Central obesity and high triacylglycerol level are the important MetS components associated with IR. Systemic low-grade inflammation has been associated with insulin resistance. Identification of obesity, high triacylglycerol and high hsCRP should be focused for prevention of type 2 diabetes in non-diabetic Indonesian adolescent male. Copyright © 2019 The Authors.

To test this hypothesis, we have evaluated the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of BMI categories with CSF biomarkers, brain beta-amyloid (Abeta) load, brain structure, and cognition and have assessed the effect of late-life BMI on AD risk in a large sample (n = 1,212) of non-demented elderly from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. At baseline, higher late-life BMI categories were associated with higher levels of CSF Abeta42 (p=0.037), lower levels of CSF total-tau (t-tau, p=0.026) and CSF t-tau/Abeta42 (p=0.008), lower load of Abeta in the right hippocampus (p=0.030), as well as larger volumes of hippocampus (p<0.0001), entorhinal cortex (p=0.009) and middle temporal lobe (p=0.040). But no association was found with CSF phosphorylated-tau (p-tau) or CSF p-tau/Abeta42. Longitudinal studies showed that higher BMI individuals experienced a slower decline in cognitive function. In addition, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that higher late-life BMI had a reduced risk of progression to AD over time (p = 0.009). Higher BMI in late-life decreased the risk of AD, and this process may be driven by AD-related biomarkers. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amyloid beta-Peptides). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Younger females are protected from adipose inflammation, but older post-menopausal females exhibit exaggerated visceral adiposity correlated with increased disease risk. Obesity accelerates the onset and progression of age-associated diseases, but it is unclear if aging and obesity drive adipose tissue dysfunction in a sexually dimorphic fashion. We investigated adipose tissue metabolism and inflammation in a diet-induced obesity model in young and old mice. We identified age related sex differences in adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs), fibrosis and lipid metabolism in male and female visceral fat depot (GWAT). Although aging normalized body weights between the sexes, females remained protected from proinflammatory ATMs and stimulated lipolysis failed to adversely affect the inflammatory state even with obesity. Older obese males had augmented CD11c+ ATMs and higher insulin levels, while females showed increased visceral adiposity and exaggerated Ppargamma, and Pgc1alpha expression. Obesity in aging demonstrated similar expression of GWAT p53, p16, p21, Timp1 and Tgfbeta1 in both sexes. Our studies suggest that even with aging, female GWAT shows an attenuated inflammatory response compared to males due to an efficient oxidative metabolism combined with an active tissue remodeling state. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

In addition, over a third of the population are overweight and obesity is becoming more prevalent in younger people. Ageing and obesity are both linked to a chronic proinflammatory state and elevated oxidative stress, which have both been implicated in cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Platelets contain all the necessary machinery to process the Amyloid precursor protein AbetaPP, a pathway thought to be perturbed in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The ratio of AbetaPP isoforms present in platelets, and the amount of alpha secretase ADAM10, that works to process AbetaPP, appear to be associated with cognitive decline and a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. The aim of this study was to assess changes in AbetaPP ratio, ADAM10 and markers of inflammation and oxidative stress with ageing and obesity. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety participants were recruited to this study to provide one blood sample. Platelet-rich plasma and platelet lysates were collected and the expression of AbetaPPr, proADAM10 and mADAM10 was assessed by Western blotting. In addition, markers of inflammation (IL-6) and oxidative stress (8-Isoprostane) were assessed in plasma. + + RESULTS: Participants were placed into one of four groups based on their age and body mass index (Young/Lean, Young/obese, Old/Lean and Old/Obese). IL-6 was able to significantly distinguish obese from lean participants (AUC of 0.80, SE = 0.05, P < 0.001). Plasma isoprostanes were able to distinguish between both young/old (AUC of 0.73, SE = 0.05, P < 0.01), and obese/non-obese participants (AUC of 0.66, SE = 0.01, P < 0.01). Plasma protein carbonyls could distinguish young and old participants (AUC of 0.69, SE = 0.07 P < 0.02). Old Lean participants had significantly lower mADAM10 expression than both Young Lean and Young Obese participants (p < 0.05). Old obese participants had significantly lower proADAM10 expression compared to both Young Lean and Young Obese (p < 0.05). Both mADAM10 and proADAM10 were significantly decreased with advancing age (p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: The findings presented in this study provide evidence that blood-based biomarkers related to the pathology of AD are altered with age and obesity in otherwise healthy adults. Ageing was more strongly associated with elevated markers of oxidative stress whereas obesity was associated with elevated inflammatory IL-6. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

Methods: The data of 320 (90 diabetic) obese patients who had LSG were retrieved from prospectively collected database. Postoperative weight loss and glycemic control were evaluated during 24 months follow-up. Results: Diabetic patients had a significantly higher percentage excess weight loss (%EWL) (60.21 +/- 11 and 72.9 +/- 13) than nondiabetics (53.4 +/- 12 and 62.5 +/- 29) at 12 and 24 months post LSG, respectively. Diabetic patients with body mass index (BMI) >40 kg/m2 had significantly higher %EWL (64.17 +/- 13 and 75.2 +/- 16) than patients with BMI <=40 at 12 and 24 months, respectively. The mean glycated hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose were 6.6% +/- 1.4%, 6.1% +/- 1.1%, 5.9% +/- 1.2%, 5.8% +/- 0.5%, and 110 +/- 1.6 mg/dL, 106.7 +/- 1.8 mg/dL, 99.2 +/- 1.9 mg/dL, and 98.1 +/- 1.2 mg/dL at 1, 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. All patients had complete diabetes remission at 12 months, and this was maintained at 24 months. Conclusion: Diabetic obese patients with BMI >40 kg/m2, had a better %EWL compared with nondiabetics and to diabetics with lower BMI. Diabetes remission started early at 1 month. At 12 months, all diabetics had complete diabetes remission and this was maintained at 24 months. Our results need to be validated in a larger study, which evaluates impact of gastrointestinal motility on diabetes control. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.1089%2flap.2019.0680 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Abdelbaki&issn=1092-6429&title=Journal+of+Laparoendoscopic+%26+Advanced+Surgical+Techniques.+Part+A&atitle=Weight+Loss+and+Diabetes+Control+Following+Laparoscopic+Sleeve+Gastrectomy.&volume=30&issue=4&spage=383&epage=388&date=2020&doi=10.1089%2Flap.2019.0680&pmid=31971865&sid=OVID:medline + +<1463> +Unique Identifier + 31968607 +Title + Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) Freeze-Dried Powder Protects against High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity, Lipid Metabolism Disorders by Modulating the Gut Microbiota of Mice. +Source + Nutrients. 12(1), 2020 Jan 20. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Guo C; Han L; Li M; Yu L +Author NameID + Guo, Caixia; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9951-7661 +Authors Full Name + Guo, Caixia; Han, Li; Li, Meiping; Yu, Ligang. +Institution + Guo, Caixia.

Results showed that seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder administration decreased body weight, Lee's index, adipose tissue weight, liver weight, and serum lipid levels. Moreover, treatment with seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder effectively reduced fat accumulation by modulating the relative expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism through down-regulation of encoding lipogenic and store genes, including SREBP-1c, PPAR-gamma, ACC, and SCD1, and up-regulation of regulating genes of fatty acid oxidation, including HSL, CPT-1, and ACOX. Especially, seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder regulated the composition of gut microbiota, such as increasing the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes, decreasing relative abundance of harmful bacteria (Desulfovibrio), and increasing relative abundance of beneficial bacteria (Akkermansia and Bacteroides). The changes of beneficial bacteria had a positive correlation with genes encoding lipolysis and a negative correlation with genes encoding lipid lipogenesis and store. The harmful bacteria were just the opposite. Besides, changes in gut microbiota had an obvious effect in the secretion of main metabolites-short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), especially propionic acid. Thus, our results indicated that the seabuckthorn freeze-dried powder could ameliorate high-fat diet-induced obesity and obesity-associated lipid metabolism disorders by changing the composition and structure of gut microbiota. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Hypolipidemic Agents). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Plant Extracts). 0 (Powders). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.3390%2fnu12010265 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Guo&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Seabuckthorn+%28Hippophae+rhamnoides%29+Freeze-Dried+Powder+Protects+against+High-Fat+Diet-Induced+Obesity%2C+Lipid+Metabolism+Disorders+by+Modulating+the+Gut+Microbiota+of+Mice.&volume=12&issue=1&spage=&epage=&date=2020&doi=10.3390%2Fnu12010265&pmid=31968607&sid=OVID:medline + +<1464> +Unique Identifier + 31965068 +Title + Depot-specific UCP1 expression in human white adipose tissue and its association with obesity-related markers. +Source + International Journal of Obesity. 44(3):697-706, 2020 03. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Lim J; Park HS; Kim J; Jang YJ; Kim JH; Lee Y; Heo Y +Authors Full Name + Lim, Jisun; Park, Hye Soon; Kim, Jimin; Jang, Yeon Jin; Kim, Jong-Hyeok; Lee, YeonJi; Heo, Yoonseok. +Institution + Lim, Jisun.

We measured UCP1 mRNA expression in abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and investigated the associations between UCP1 mRNA expression in VAT and SAT, and obesity-related markers including mRNA expression of leptin, adiponectin, CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP), and positive regulatory domain-containing protein 16 (PRDM16). We also evaluated UCP1 mRNA expression in differentiated human white adipocytes after treatment with various stressors and metabolic improvement agents in vitro. + + RESULTS: UCP1 mRNA in VAT was significantly higher than in SAT in all groups. UCP1 mRNA in SAT was negatively correlated with BMI, total abdominal fat area, visceral fat area, blood pressure, fasting glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR score, triglyceride, hsCRP, fasting leptin levels, and adipocyte size. UCP1 mRNA in SAT was positively correlated with fasting adiponectin levels. UCP1 mRNA in VAT was negatively correlated with visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio (VSR), fasting glucose, and triglyceride levels. In SAT, UCP1 mRNA was negatively correlated with mRNA expression of leptin and CHOP, and positively correlated with mRNA expression of adiponectin. The expression of PRDM16 was positively correlated with UCP1 mRNA in both VAT and SAT. UCP1 mRNA expression in differentiated human white adipocytes was significantly reduced after incubation with thapsigargin, tunicamycin, homocysteine, TNF-alpha, or IL-beta, and significantly increased after incubation with exendin 4, dapagliflozin, and telmisartan. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated depot-specific mRNA expression of UCP1 and its association with obesity-related markers in human WAT. UCP1 mRNA in human white adipocytes was suppressed by inflammatory agents and enhanced by metabolic improvement agents. UCP1 in human WAT might participate in the pathogenesis of obesity-related metabolic diseases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Messenger). 0 (UCP1 protein, human). 0 (Uncoupling Protein 1). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

A high-fat diet induces obesity-associated oxidative stress, neuronal insulin resistance, microglial activation, and neuroinflammation, which are considered important risk factors for neurodegeneration. Obesity-related metabolic dysfunction is a risk factor for cognitive decline. The present study aimed to elucidate whether chronic consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD; 24 weeks) can induce insulin resistance, neuroinflammation, and amyloid beta (Abeta) deposition in mouse brains. Male C57BL/6N mice were used for a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced pre-clinical model of obesity. The protein expression levels were examined via Western blot, immunofluorescence, and the behavior analysis was performed using the Morris water maze test. To obtain metabolic parameters, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance tests were performed. We found that metabolic perturbations from the chronic consumption of HFD elevated neuronal oxidative stress and insulin resistance through adiponectin receptor (AdipoR1) suppression in HFD-fed mice. Similarly, our in vitro results also indicated that knockdown of AdipoR1 in the embryonic mouse hippocampal cell line mHippoE-14 leads to increased oxidative stress in neurons. In addition, HFD markedly increased neuroinflammatory markers' glial activation in the cortex and hippocampus regions of HFD mouse brains. More importantly, we observed that AdipoR1 suppression increased the amyloidogenic pathway both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, deregulated synaptic proteins and behavioral deficits were observed in the HFD mouse brains. Taken together, our findings suggest that excessive consumption of an HFD has a profound impact on brain function, which involves the acceleration of cognitive impairment due to increased obesity-associated oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and neuroinflammation, which ultimately may cause early onset of Alzheimer's pathology via the suppression of AdipoR1 signaling in the brain. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amyloid). 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Receptors, Adiponectin).

There is limited knowledge, however, on differences in the immune system between young and older adults with obesity. The goal of this study was to compare circulating inflammatory cytokines and T cell-mediated immune response between young and older women with obesity. Twenty-three young (23-43 years) and 21 older (60-83 years) women with obesity were recruited at the Weight and Wellness Center at Tufts Medical Center. Circulating inflammatory cytokines (CRP, IL-6, and IL-1beta) and ex vivo indicators of T cell-mediated immune function were compared between the groups. Older women with obesity had significantly fewer circulating CD3+, CD8+, CD19+, and natural killer T (NKT) cells compared to young women with obesity (p = 0.016, p < 0.0001, p = 0.0003, and p < 0.0001, respectively). However, with few exceptions, there was no significant difference in inflammation markers or stimulated lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells between young and older participants. These findings are in contrast to those previously reported in young and old subjects with healthy weight and call for further investigation into the impact of obesity on premature aging of the immune system. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

The concentrations of cholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol, 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3, and uric acid (UA) were measured with high-performance liquid chromatography in saliva collected at home (12-hour fast). Physical examination included height, weight, and body fat percentage (%BF) measured using bioelectric impedance to classify groups in below/above the %BF cutoff. Data were evaluated using 2-way analysis of variance and multiple linear regression. No significant difference was found in the levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3, cholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol, phosphorus, calcium, and urea between groups above and below %BF cutoff, and the variation in salivary flow was small. Significant sex and group effects were observed for salivary UA, which was increased in adolecents with higher %BF and in males (compared to females), without sex group interaction (power=99.8%). Sex showed a significant effect on salivary urea, with lower levels in females. A predictive model was obtained, with salivary UA and sex explaining the variation of %BF (P<.001; power=84%). Salivary UA showed to be an important marker of body fat accumulation in adolescents, demonstrating the clinical relevance of saliva to detect early changes and to monitor the nutritional status using a noninvasive and accurate method.

Leptin, C-reactive protein (CRP), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels, and the leptin/adiponectin ratio decreased significantly at both postoperative follow-up points compared with preoperative values (p < 0.01). IL-6 and ICAM-1 levels decreased between 6 and 24 months post-GB (p < 0.01). IL-6 and ICAM-1 levels decreased between 6- and 24-months post-GB (p < 0.01). Resistin levels were significantly decreased (p < 0.01) at 6-month follow-up. The levels of the anti-inflammatory biomarkers IL-10, adiponectin, and the adiponectin/leptin ratio significantly increased postoperatively. There was an improvement in metabolic disorders after surgery. + + CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that after GB there was an improvement in the inflammatory profile, identified by a reduction in pro-inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, leptin) and an increase in anti-inflammatory markers (adiponectin, IL-10). The decrease in PAI-1 and ICAM-1 levels may suggest improvement in endothelial function. These findings provide clear evidence of the medium-term impact of GB on inflammation state and a number of endothelial markers, and a consequent reduction in the risk of cardiovascular diseases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

As toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays an important role in innate immunity, we herein investigate the effect of TLR4 knockout (T4KO) in a high-fat high-sucrose diet (HFD)-induced obesity mouse model. Results: C57BL6 wild-type (WT) and T4KO mice were fed with either control diet (CD) or HFD for 12 months, rendering four experimental groups: WT+CD, WT+HFD, T4KO+CD, and T4KO+HFD. Compared with WT+CD, WT+HFD demonstrated significant increase in VF accumulation, oxidative damage, M1/M2 macrophage ratio, chronic inflammation, and development of IR. Compared with WT+HFD, T4KO+HFD presented increased BW and body fat with higher subcutaneous fat (SF)/VF ratio, but lower body temperature, as well as decreased oxidative damage, M1/M2 macrophage ratio, chronic inflammation, and IR. Unlike WT+HFD, T4KO+HFD exhibited an increase in mitochondrial electron transport chain activity but a decrease of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) level. While T4KO hindered HFD-induced increasing mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate, a shift toward a higher extracellular acidification rate in VF was observed. Notably, T4KO inhibits HFD-induced mitochondrial translocation of nuclear factor of activated T cells 2 (NFATC2), which contributed to mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming. Both fat distribution shifting from VF to SF and mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming may alleviate systemic oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Innovation and Conclusion: Abrogation of TLR4 contributes to reduction of oxidative stress through metabolic reprogramming of mitochondria in VF, mitigating obesity-induced IR. The study provides critical insight into associating innate immunity-mitochondria interplay with prevention of diabetes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Toll-Like Receptor 4). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The function of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, the central regulator of fertility is substantially altered during inflammation in females. In our review we discuss the latest results on how the function of GnRH neurons is modified by inflammation in females. We first address the various effects of inflammation on GnRH neurons and their functional consequences. Second, we survey the possible mechanisms underlying the inflammation-induced actions on GnRH neurons. The role of several factors will be discerned in transmitting inflammatory signals to the GnRH neurons: cytokines, kisspeptin, RFamide-related peptides, estradiol and the anti-inflammatory cholinergic pathway. Since aging and obesity are both characterized by reproductive decline our review also focuses on the mechanisms and pathophysiological consequences of the impact of inflammation on GnRH neurons in aging and obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Kisspeptins). 0 (Lipopolysaccharides). 33515-09-2 (Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone). 4TI98Z838E (Estradiol). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Thus, we studied the serum levels of IL-6 in normal weight, overweight, and obese subjects, and examined associations of IL-6 with hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and systemic inflammation. One hundred three women and men were included in the study. Anthropometric parameters, blood glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, and triglycerides were measured. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-10, and IL-6 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a 2.5-fold significant decrease in serum IL-6 in overweight and obese individuals when compared with normal weight controls. Serum IL-6 exhibited significant inverse correlations with body mass index (r = -0.39/P < 0.0001), waist circumference (r = -0.42/P < 0.001), blood glucose (r = -0.40/P < 0.0001), triglycerides (r = -0.34/P < 0.0001), and TNF-alpha (r = -0.48/P < 0.0001), whereas a strongly positive correlation was found with IL-10 (r = 0.77/P < 0.0001). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that behavior of IL-6 was mainly influenced by IL-10 (beta = 0.28/P = 1.95 x 10-6), TNF-alpha (beta = -0.67/P = 0.0017), and body fat percentage (beta = -5.95/P = 7.67 x 10-5) in women. In contrast, IL-10 (beta = 0.37/P = 1.34 x 10-9), TNF-alpha (beta = -0.85/P = 0.0005), and triglycerides (beta = 1.07/P = 0.0007) were major influencing factors of IL-6 in men. This study demonstrates that IL-6 is a marker of metabolic dysfunction that is differentially regulated in obese women and men.

Methods: We included 221 patients from our hypertension unit, whose data were collected from electronic records dated between 2006 and 2017. We used classical stepwise logistic regression, and two machine learning methods [least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and elastic net]. We assessed the performance of these three algorithms in terms of sensitivity, specificity, misclassification error, and area under the curve (AUC). Results: LASSO and elastic net regression performed better than logistic regression in terms of AUC, which was significantly better in both penalized methods, with AUC = 0.76 and AUC = 0.74 for elastic net and LASSO, respectively, than in logistic regression, with AUC = 0.64. In terms of misclassification rate, elastic net (18%) outperformed LASSO (22%) and logistic regression (25%). Conclusion: Compared with a classical logistic regression approach, penalized methods were found to have better performance in predicting vitamin D deficiency.

Recently, the early diagnosis and accurate prediction of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients have been planned to be estimated according to precise and reliable methods, artificial networks and machine learning (ML). Materials and methods In this study, an experimental data set of relevant features (adipocytokines and anthropometric levels) obtained from obese women (diabetic and non-diabetic) was analyzed. Machine learning was used to select significant features [by the separability-correlation measure (SCM) algorithm] for classification of women with the best accuracy and the results were evaluated using an artificial neural network (ANN). Results According to the experimental data analysis, a significant difference (p < 0.05) was found between fasting blood sugar (FBS), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and visfatin level in two groups. Moreover, significant correlations were determined between HbA1c and FBS, homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) and insulin, total cholesterol (TC) level and body mass index (BMI) in non-diabetic women and insulin and HOMA, FBS and HbA1c, insulin and HOMA, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), BMI and TC and HbA1c and TC in the diabetic group. Furthermore, there were significant positive correlations between adipocytokines except for the resistin and leptin levels for both groups. The excellent (FBS and HbA1c), good (HOMA) and fair (visfatin, adiponectin and insulin) discriminators of diabetic women were determined based on specificities and sensitivities level. The more selected features in the ML method were FBS, apelin, visfatin, TC, HbA1c and adiponectin. Conclusions Thus, the subset of features involving FBS, apelin, visfatin and HbA1c are significant features and make the best discrimination between groups. In this study, based on statistical and ML results, the useful biomarkers for discrimination of diabetic women were FBS, HbA1c, HOMA, insulin, visfatin, adiponectin and apelin. Eventually, we designed useful software for identification of T2DM and the healthy population to be utilized in clinical diagnosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Hemoglobins). 0 (Insulin).

Generally, hormones and metabolites mediate this crosstalk that becomes alterated in metabolic syndrome including obesity and diabetes. Recently, Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are emerging as a novel way of cell-to-cell communication and represent an attractive strategy to transfer fundamental informations between the cells through the transport of proteins and nucleic acids. EVs, released in the extracellular space, circulate via the various body fluids and modulate the cellular responses following their interaction with the near and far target cells. Clinical and experimental data support their role as biomarkers and bioeffectors in several diseases includimg also the metabolic syndrome. Despite numerous studies on the role of macrophages in the development of metabolic diseases, to date, there are little informations about the influence of metabolic stress on the EVs produced by macrophages and about the role of the released vesicles in the organism. Here, we review current understanding about the role of EVs in metabolic diseases, mainly in inflammation status burst. This knowledge may play a relevant role in health monitoring, medical diagnosis and personalized medicine. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

Cord glucose, triacylglycerol, HDL-cholesterol, C-reactive protein (CRP) and C-peptide were measured. Multivariable logistic and linear regression were used to assess the associations between cord blood metabolic markers and the outcomes of birthweight z score, sum of skinfold thickness (SSF), being large for gestational age (LGA) and percentage of body fat. Pathway analysis assessed whether cord markers mediated the associations between maternal and neonatal adiposity. + + RESULTS: Elevated cord C-peptide was significantly associated with increasing birthweight z score (beta 0.57 [95% CI 0.42, 0.71]), SSF (beta 0.83 [95% CI 0.41, 1.25]), percentage of body fat (beta 1.20 [95% CI 0.69, 1.71]) and risk for LGA [OR 3.14 [95% CI 2.11, 4.68]), after adjusting for age, ethnicity and diabetes type. Cord triacylglycerol was negatively associated with birthweight z score for Indigenous Australian women only. No associations between cord glucose, HDL-cholesterol and CRP >0.3 mg/l (2.9 nmol/l) with neonatal outcomes were observed. C-peptide mediated 18% (95% CI 13, 36) of the association of maternal BMI with LGA and 11% (95% CI 8, 17) of the association with per cent neonatal fat. + + CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Cord blood C-peptide is an important mediator of the association between maternal and infant adiposity, across the spectrum of maternal glucose tolerance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

We investigated whether metabolic alterations induced by GQ-130 were mediated though a mechanism that involves PPARbeta/delta transactivation. Potential binding and transactivation of PPARalpha, PPARbeta/delta or PPARgamma by GQ-130 were examined through cell transactivation, 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) fluorescence quenching assays and thermal shift assay. For in vivo experiments, male 8-week-old Wistar rats were divided into three groups fed for 6 weeks with: (a) a standard rat chow (14% fat) (control group), (b) a HFD (57.8% fat) alone (HFD group), or (c) a HFD associated with an oral treatment with GQ-130 (10 mg/kg/d) during the last week (HFD-GQ group). In 293T cells, unlike rosiglitazone, GQ-130 did not cause significant transactivation of PPARgamma but was able to activate PPARbeta/delta by 153.9 folds in comparison with control values (DMSO). Surprisingly, ANS fluorescence quenching assay reveals that GQ-130 does not bind directly to PPARbeta/delta binding site, a finding that was further corroborated by thermal shift assay which evaluates the thermal stability of PPARbeta/delta in the presence of GQ-130. Compared to the control group, rats of the HFD group showed obesity, increased systolic blood pressure (SBP), insulin resistance, impaired glucose intolerance, hyperglycaemia, and dyslipidaemia. GQ-130 treatment abolished the increased SBP and improved all metabolic dysfunctions observed in the HFD group. Oral treatment with GQ-130 was effective in improving HFD-induced metabolic alterations probably through a mechanism that involves PPARbeta/delta activation.

Rates of diabetes-related complications, e.g., acute stroke and end-stage renal disease, are also higher among Hispanic/Latino adults compared to their non-Hispanic/Latino White counterparts. Beyond genetic and biological factors, it is now recognized that sociocultural influences are also important factors in determining risk for T2D and the associated complications. These influences include ethnicity, acculturation, residence, education, and economic status. The primary objective of this study is to determine the influence of the 5 major determinants of human health (genetics, biology, behavior, psychology, society/environment) on the burden of T2D for Latino families. To achieve this objective, Mil Familias (www.milfamilias.sansum.org/) is establishing an observational cohort of 1000 Latino families, with at least one family member living with T2D. + + METHODS: Specially trained, bilingual Latino/a community health workers (Especialistas) recruit participant families and conduct research activities. Each individual family member will contribute data annually on over 100 different variables relating to their genetics, biology, psychology, behavior, and society/environment, creating a Latino-focused biobank ("Living Information Bank"). This observational cohort study is cross-sectional and longitudinal. Participants are divided into 4 groups: adults age >= 18 years with and without T2D, and children age >= 7 and < 18 years with and without T2D. Study activities take place through encounters between families and their Especialista. Encounters include screening/enrollment, informed consent, health promotion assessment, laboratory tests, questionnaires, physical activity monitoring, and reflection. + + DISCUSSION: By creating and providing the framework for the Cohort Establishment study, we intend to inform new approaches regarding equity and excellence in diabetes research and care. We will examine the complex set of factors that contribute to the burden of diabetes in Latino families and assess if cardio-metabolic disease risks go beyond the traditional biological and genetic factors. Breaking the code on the interplay of cardio-metabolic risk factors may help not only this fast growing segment of the U.S. population, but also other high-risk populations. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: Study retrospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03830840), 2/5/2019 (enrollment began 2/1/2019). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The overlap between ALD and NAFLD suggests the existence of metabolic steatohepatitis. Development of in vivo models that reflect various aspects of human steatohepatitis is essential for drug discovery. We aimed to characterize several models of steatohepatitis (SH) and to investigate whether the pathology could be modulated. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 9 wk, followed by either a high-fat, high-cholesterol and cholate diet (HFC) or a HFC diet containing 13% trans fat (HFC-TF). A subset received 15% ethanol-water twice a week for 12 wk. Serum triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and rodent NH2-terminal propeptide of type III collagen (rPRO-C3) were assessed. The liver was weighed and evaluated using modified Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network histological score system criteria. All diets induced hepatomegaly, but only HFC-TF increased the size of visceral adipose tissue. Trans fat augmented HFC-induced dyslipidemia, and cholesterol was higher and HDL was lower in the HFC-TF groups. Alcohol lowered triglycerides in both dietary groups. HFC elevated ALT and AST, which were lowered by trans fat. All diets induced histological SH, addition of trans fat induced more steatosis but less inflammation. Inclusion of alcohol augmented the HFC-induced inflammation. All diets induced mild fibrosis. Inclusion of trans fat and alcohol significantly increased rPRO-C3. The addition of trans fat reduced the HFC-induced inflammation but augmented steatosis and dyslipidemia. Inclusion of alcohol induced a more inflammatory and fibrogenic phenotype. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Alcoholic liver disease and nonalcoholic liver disease share significant overlap, which suggests the existence of metabolic steatohepatitis. Trans fat has been implicated in steatohepatitis development. Here, we show that the addition of trans fat to an atherogenic diet results in a more steatotic but less inflammatory phenotype, whereas the addition of alcohol to an atherogenic diet augments the inflammatory and fibrogenic properties of the diet. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (Procollagen). 0 (Trans Fatty Acids). 0 (procollagen Type III-N-terminal peptide).

Biomarker interrelationships were examined in the following three ways: (1) cross-sectional associations at baseline and follow-up, (2) longitudinal associations of concurrent biomarker changes, and (3) prospective associations of each baseline biomarker with other biomarker changes. + + RESULTS: In cross-sectional analyses, most biomarkers were correlated after multivariable adjustment including BMI, with the strongest correlations observed between leptin and insulin and between hsCRP and interleukin-6. In longitudinal analyses, similar results were observed after multivariable adjustment including weight change. However, in prospective analyses, only three associations observed in cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses were consistently significant (P < 0.05). Every doubling in baseline adiponectin was associated with -9.0% insulin change. The corresponding estimate was 9.3% for baseline leptin and hsCRP change and 3.1% for baseline hsCRP and leptin change. + + CONCLUSIONS: Baseline adiponectin concentrations were inversely associated with subsequent insulin change, whereas baseline leptin concentrations were positively associated with hsCRP change and vice versa.

Obesity is a significant risk factor for KOA. Omentin is an adipose tissue-induced adipokine. The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between obesity and serum omentin levels in patients with KOA. + + METHODS: This study included 60 patients with KOA, 34 obese individuals (O-KOA) and 26 nonobese individuals (NO-KOA) and 40 controls, 17 obese individuals (OC) and 23 nonobese individuals (NOC) matched in terms of age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) who were recruited from the same polyclinic. Blood samples and knee radiographs were obtained from all the subjects, and clinical features, BMI, and laboratory parameters were recorded. The Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) index were used to classify the radiographic and clinical findings, respectively. Serum omentin levels were determined using an ELISA. + + RESULTS: Serum omentin levels in patients were significantly lower than those in the controls (p < 0.05). When the BMI values and KL scores were considered, serum omentin levels significantly decreased in severe O-KOA versus in mild-to-moderate O-KOA. There was no statistically significant decrease in severe NO-KOA versus mild-to-moderate NO-KOA. There was a significant negative correlation between the serum omentin level and BMI and WOMAC index. All findings were supported by a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. + + CONCLUSION: Serum omentin levels were inversely related to obesity and the severity of KOA. The data indicate that omentin may be a new biomarker of KOA to our knowledge and may aid the diagnosis of early-stage O-KOA, if our findings are supported by further studies involving much more samples.

The exact reason for this is unknown. Here, we have performed metabolite profiling to investigate these differences. + + METHODS: Metabolite profiling was conducted in Iraqi immigrants (n = 93) and native Swedes (n = 77) using two complementary mass spectrometry-based platforms. Differences in metabolite levels were compared after adjustment for confounding anthropometric, diet and clinical variables. + + RESULTS: The Iraqi immigrant population were more obese (44.1 vs 24.7%, p < 0.05), but had a lower prevalence of hypertension (32.3 vs 54.8%, p < 0.01) than the native Swedish population. We detected 140 metabolites, 26 of which showed different levels between populations (q < 0.05,) after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, T2D and use of metformin. Twenty-two metabolites remained significant after further adjustment for HOMA-IR, HOMA-beta or insulin sensitivity index. Levels of polyunsaturated acylcarnitines (14:2 and 18:2) and fatty acid (18:2) were higher, whereas those of saturated and monounsaturated acylcarnitines (14:0, 18:1, and 8:1), fatty acids (12:0, 14:0, 16:0, and 18:1), uremic solutes (urate and quinate) and ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate) were lower in Iraqi immigrants. Further, levels of phospholipids were generally lower in the Iraqi immigrant population. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our result suggests an overall beneficial lipid profile in Iraqi immigrants, despite a higher risk to develop T2D. Higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids may suggest differences in dietary pattern, which in turn may reduce the risk of hypertension. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids, Unsaturated). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.1007%2fs00592-019-01464-w +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Al-Majdoub&issn=0940-5429&title=Acta+Diabetologica&atitle=Metabolite+profiling+paradoxically+reveals+favorable+levels+of+lipids%2C+markers+of+oxidative+stress+and+unsaturated+fatty+acids+in+a+diabetes+susceptible+group+of+Middle+Eastern+immigrants.&volume=57&issue=5&spage=597&epage=603&date=2020&doi=10.1007%2Fs00592-019-01464-w&pmid=31863321&sid=OVID:medline + +<1483> +Unique Identifier + 31862687 +Title + MMP-12 as a potential biomarker to forecast ischemic stroke in obese patients. +Source + Medical Hypotheses. 136:109524, 2020 Mar. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Wang CY; Zhang CP; Li BJ; Jiang SS; He WH; Long SY; Tian Y +Authors Full Name + Wang, Chu-Yao; Zhang, Cai-Ping; Li, Bo-Jie; Jiang, Su-Su; He, Wei-He; Long, Shi-Yin; Tian, Ying. +Institution + Wang, Chu-Yao.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is mostly caused by the rupture of arterial plaque, whose instability is positively associated with matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that degrades extracellular matrix components. Studies have shown that matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) may be involved in the pathogenesis of IS. Because of the higher incidence of stroke in obese patients than that in normal weight people, it is urgent for obesity to forecast stroke early. Considering high levels MMP-12 in obesity, we put forward that MMP-12 may be a potential biomarker for IS in obese patients. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

The MC4R Isoleucine 269 is perfectly conserved across 184 species, which suggests a critical role for the amino acid in MC4R activity. Four in silico tools (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, CADD, MutPred2) predicted a deleterious impact of the p.Ile269Asn substitution on MC4R function. The MC4R p.Ile269Asn mutation was associated with childhood (Ncontrols = 952, Ncases = 661, odds ratio (OR) = 3.06, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) [1.94-4.85]) and adult obesity (Ncontrols = 1445, Ncases = 2,487, OR = 2.58, 95%CI [1.52-4.39]). The frequency of the MC4R p.Ile269Asn mutation ranged from 0.52 to 0.59% and 1.53 to 1.59% in children and adults with normal weight and obesity, respectively. The MC4R p.Ile269Asn mutation co-segregated perfectly with obesity in 5 multigenerational Mexican pedigrees. While adults with obesity carrying the p.Ile269Asn mutation had higher BMI values than noncarriers, this trend was not observed in children. The MC4R p.Ile269Asn mutation accounted for a population attributable risk of 1.28% and 0.68% for childhood and adult obesity, respectively, in the Mexican population. + + CONCLUSION: The MC4R p.Ile269Asn mutation may have emerged as a founder mutation in native Mexicans and is associated with childhood and adult obesity in the modern Mexican population.

In addition, the effect of age, gender, puberty and body mass index (BMI) on bone markers was investigated. + + METHODS: 2416 healthy subjects (5714 blood withdrawals), aged 3 months to 17 years, were included to estimate the age- and gender-dependence of reference ranges. Subsequently, measured values of the biomarkers were transformed to standard deviation scores (SDS) and their associations with age, gender and puberty were analyzed. Bone marker-SDS values of the reference cohort were compared with an obese cohort (n = 317 and 489 blood withdrawals) to analyze the effect of BMI. + + RESULTS: OC, PINP and CTX-I showed a distinct age- and gender-dependence with peak levels at 10 to 11 years (girls, Tanner 3) and 13 years (boys, Tanner 3-4). Children with obesity had significantly lower SDS levels for OC (-0.44), PINP (-0.27), CTX-I (-0.33), 25(OH)D (-0.43) and higher SDS levels for PTH (+0.44) than the reference cohort. + + CONCLUSIONS: OC, PINP and CTX-I vary with age, gender and pubertal stage. The body weight status has to be considered in the interpretation of pediatric OC, PINP, CTX-I, 25(OH)D and PTH levels. Consequences of childhood obesity on bone health should be carefully investigated in long-term studies. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

Due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiglycation properties, trigonelline and curcumin are interesting candidates to counteract complications of obesity and diabetes mellitus. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of treatment with curcumin or trigonelline mixed into yoghurt, alone or in combination, on mice fed high-fat diet (HFD); the focus was mainly on the potential of these phytochemicals to counteract oxidative and glycative stress. Yoghurt alone improved glucose tolerance and reduced proinflammatory cytokine levels in HFD mice; however, it did not affect the antioxidant status. Trigonelline-enriched yoghurt prevented fat accumulation in adipose tissue, improved both insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance and exerted anti-inflammatory and antiglycation activities (reduced AGEs and AGE receptor levels and increased the levels of components related to AGE detoxification) in liver and kidney of HFD mice. Curcumin-enriched yoghurt exerted anti-inflammatory and potent antioxidant properties (increased antioxidant enzyme activities and decreased lipid peroxidation) in liver and kidney of HFD mice. However, several beneficial effects were nullified when trigonelline and curcumin were administered in combination. Trigonelline and curcumin have emerged as promising complementary therapy candidates for liver and kidney complications associated with obesity. However, the administration of these phytochemicals in combination, at least in HFD mice, was not effective; inhibition of biotransformation processes and/or the reaching of toxic doses during combined treatment may be prevailing over the individual pharmacodynamic actions of these phytochemicals.

We enrolled 959 obese, normal glucose tolerant, of either sex, outpatients and evaluated them for 8 years. We evaluated: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting plasma insulin (FPI), homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index, blood pressure, lipid profile, lipoprotein(a), adiponectin (ADN), resistin, leptin, high sensitivity reactive protein (Hs-CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), retinol binding protein-4 (RBP-4), adipsin, vaspin, visfatin, omentin-1, chemerin. After 8 years of observation, 429 patients maintained euglycemia, while 133 patients developed dysglycemia, and 90 developed diabetes. In dysglycemic patients, ADN was lower, and resistin was higher compared to baseline, while in diabetic patients ADN was lower, and resistin was higher both compared to baseline, and compared to euglycemic and dysglycemic patients. High sensitivity C-reactive protein, TNF-alpha were higher in both dysglycemic and diabetic patients compared to baseline, but the values recorded in diabetics were higher both compared to euglycemic and dysglycemic. Visfatin was higher and omentin-1 was lower compared to baseline, and compared to euglycemic patients in diabetics. Odds ratio showed that lower levels of adiponectin and higher levels of resistin, but not of other cytokines, increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Data seem to suggest that lower levels of adiponectin, and higher levels of resistin can be predictive of a future diabetes in obese people, even years before the disease onset.

The aim was to systematically review published studies on the relationship between low serum levels of amylase, lipase, or trypsin and metabolic disorders. + + METHODS: The search was conducted in MEDLINE and Scopus databases. Studies in humans were included if they reported on the association between serum levels of amylase, lipase, or trypsin within normal range and metabolic disorders. Random-effects meta-analysis was conducted. + + RESULTS: A total of 20 studies encompassing 20,916 participants were included. Compared with healthy individuals, individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (mean difference = -5.3; p < 0.001), metabolic syndrome (mean difference = -5.1; p < 0.001), and overweight/obesity (mean difference = -0.8; p = 0.02) had significantly lower serum levels of amylase. Both individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (mean difference = -1.8; p < 0.001) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (mean difference = -0.8; p < 0.001) had significantly lower serum levels of lipase compared with healthy individuals. Data on serum trypsin were not suitable for meta-analysis. In the pooled analysis, individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus had 3.1-times lower serum levels of amylase, 2.9-times lower serum levels of lipase, and 2.5-times lower serum levels of trypsin levels than the upper limits of normal for the three digestive enzymes. + + CONCLUSION: Low serum levels of amylase and lipase are significantly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, type 1 diabetes mellitus, excess adiposity, and metabolic syndrome. The role of digestive enzymes in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders warrants further investigations. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

LPS and/or high-fat diet-associated metaflammation is mediated through a quaternary receptor signaling complex containing iron-regulated pathway, IL-6/STAT inflammatory signaling pathway, hepcidin regulatory pathway, and common TLR4/NF-kappaB signaling pathway. We, therefore, investigated whether bifidobacteria directly or indirectly ameliorate LPS- and/or high-fat diet-associated metaflammation by reduction of intestinal iron concentration and/or the above-mentioned pathways. + + MATERIAL & METHODS: We used a triple co-culture model of HT-29/B6, HMDM and HepG2 cells with apically added Bifidobacterium pseudolongum (DSMZ 20099), in the absence or presence of iron, LPS or oleate. Expressions of the biomarkers of interest were determined after 24 h incubation by TaqMan qRT-PCR, cell-based ELISA or Western blot. + + RESULTS: Bifidobacteria inhibited LPS- and oleate-induced protein expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha) concomitantly with decreases in cellular TG and iron concentration. Exposure of co-cultured cells to bifidobacteria blocked NF-kB activity through inhibition of IkappaBalpha, p38 MAPK, and phosphorylation of NF-kB 65 subunit. TaqMan qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis revealed that bifidobacteria downregulated mRNA and protein expression of BMP6, DMT1, hepcidin, l-ferritin, ferroportin, IL-6, TfR1, Stat3, and TLR4 following exposure to excessive extracellular LPS, oleate and iron. However, the patterns of TLR2 mRNA and protein expression were quite the opposite of those of TLR4. + + CONCLUSION: Commensal bifidobacteria ameliorate metaflammation/inflammatory responses to excessive extracellular LPS, oleate and iron through at least two molecular/signaling mechanisms: i. modulation of interactions of the hepcidin- and iron-signaling pathways via reduction of excess iron; ii. reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and hepcidin production through inhibition of the TLR4/NF-kB pathway. This may be a molecular basis by which commensal bifidobacteria enhance intrinsic cellular tolerance against excess consumption of energy-yielding substrates and/or free iron.

People living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher risk for the development of visceral adiposity with accompanying worsened cardiovascular risk. + + SETTING: Convenience sample from an HIV clinic and research unit. + + METHODS: To understand the relationship between adiposity and intestinal dysbiosis, we compared the gut microbiota and inflammatory markers in a cross-sectional study of viscerally obese, generally obese, and lean PLWH. Fecal intestinal microbiota was characterized by 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing. Abdominal CTs quantified subcutaneous adipose tissue and visceral adipose tissue (SAT; VAT). Serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein, adiponectin, leptin, IL-6, MCP-1, and sCD14 were assayed. + + RESULTS: We studied 15, 9, and 11 participants with visceral obesity, general obesity, and lean body type, respectively. The generally obese group were all women and 2/3 African American, whereas the visceral obesity and lean groups were predominantly white and men who have sex with men. Markers of systemic inflammation and sCD14 were higher in general obesity compared with lean. sCD14 was positively correlated with VAT, but not SAT. Bacterial diversity was significantly reduced in participants with visceral and general obesity and composition of intestinal microbiota was significantly different from lean body types. Bacterial alpha diversity was negatively correlated with VAT area, waist/hip ratio, and sCD14, but not with SAT area. + + CONCLUSIONS: In this exploratory study, obesity in general was associated with dysbiotic intestinal microbiota. The relationships of VAT to bacterial diversity and sCD14 suggest that dysbiosis in viscerally obese PLWH could be associated with heightened inflammatory state. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, FeNO is also involved in nonallergic inflammatory and pulmonary vascular mechanisms or responses to environmental stimuli. We sought to determine the extent to which obesity or sedentary lifestyle is associated with FeNO in adolescents not selected on the basis of allergic disease. In Project Viva, a prebirth cohort study, we measured body mass index (BMI), skinfold thicknesses, waist circumference, body fat, hours watching television, hours of physical activity, and heart rate after exercise among 929 adolescents (median age, 12.9). We measured FeNO twice and averaged these as a continuous, log-transformed outcome. We performed linear regression models, adjusted for child age, sex, height, and race/ethnicity, maternal education and smoking during pregnancy, household income and smoking, and neighbourhood characteristics. In secondary analysis, we additionally adjusted for asthma. More than 2 hours spent watching TV was associated with 10% lower FeNO (95% confidence interval [CI]: -20, 0%). Higher body fat percentage was also associated with lower FeNO. After additional adjustment for asthma, teens who are underweight (BMI <5th %tile, 3%) had 22% lower FeNO (95%CI: -40, 2%) and teens who are overweight (BMI >=85th %ile, 28%) had 13% lower FeNO (95%CI: -23, -2%). Each of these associations of lifestyle and body weight with lower FeNO were greater in magnitude after adjusting for asthma. In summary, sedentary lifestyle, high and low BMI were all associated with lower FeNO in this adolescent cohort.

It has been suggested that it is an independent risk factor for weight gain, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, metabolic syndrome (MetS), and cardiovascular disease. Results from epidemiological studies conducted in different study populations have suggested that high consumption of dairy products is associated with a lower risk of developing hyperuricemia. However, this association is still unclear. The aim of the present study is to explore the association of the consumption of total dairy products and their subtypes with the risk of hyperuricemia in an elderly Mediterranean population with MetS. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Baseline cross-sectional analyses were conducted on 6329 men/women (mean age 65 years) with overweight/obesity and MetS from the PREDIMED-Plus cohort. Dairy consumption was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Multivariable-adjusted Cox regressions were fitted to analyze the association of quartiles of consumption of total dairy products and their subtypes with the prevalence of hyperuricemia. Participants in the upper quartile of the consumption of total dairy products (multiadjusted prevalence ratio (PR) = 0.84; 95% CI: 0.75-0.94; P-trend 0.02), low-fat dairy products (PR = 0.79; 95% CI: 0.70-0.89; P-trend <0.001), total milk (PR = 0.81; 95% CI: 0.73-0.90; P-trend<0.001), low-fat milk (PR = 0.80; 95% CI: 0.72-0.89; P-trend<0.001, respectively), low-fat yogurt (PR = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.80-0.98; P-trend 0.051), and cheese (PR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.77-0.96; P-trend 0.003) presented a lower prevalence of hyperuricemia. Whole-fat dairy, fermented dairy, and yogurt consumption were not associated with hyperuricemia. + + CONCLUSIONS: High consumption of total dairy products, total milk, low-fat dairy products, low-fat milk, low-fat yogurt, and cheese is associated with a lower risk of hyperuricemia.

We tested the hypothesis that elevations in uAGT can be detected in the absence of albuminuria in a mouse model of T2D. + + METHODS: Male C57BL/6 mice (N=10) were fed a high fat (HFD; 45% Kcal from fat) for 28weeks, and the metabolic phenotype including body weight, blood pressures, glucose, insulin, ippGTT, HOMA-IR, and cholesterol was examined. In addition, kidney Ang II content and reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured along with urinary albumin, creatinine, Ang II, and AGT. + + RESULTS: All parameters consistent with T2D were present in mice after 12-14weeks on the HFD. Systolic BP increased after 18weeks in HFD but not NFD mice. Intrarenal ROS and Ang II concentrations were also increased in HFD mice. Remarkably, these changes paralleled the augmentation uAGT excretion (3.66+/-0.50 vs. 0.92+/-0.13ng/mg by week 29; P<0.01), which occurred in the absence of overt albuminuria. + + CONCLUSIONS: In HFD-induced T2D mice, increases in uAGT occur in the absence of overt renal injury, indicating that this biomarker accurately detects early intrarenal RAS activation.

Overweight-obesity was classified according to 2007 World Health Organization criteria for body mass index. High CRF was categorized as a maximum oxygen uptake, determined using a shuttle run test, exceeding 35 mL.kg-1.minute-1 in girls and 42 mL.kg-1.minute-1 in boys. Eleven traditional and novel cardiometabolic risk factors were measured including lipids, glucose, glycated hemoglobin, peripheral and central blood pressure, and arterial wave reflection. Factor analysis identified underlying cardiometabolic disease risk factors and a cardiometabolic disease risk summary score. Two-way analysis of covariance determined the associations between CRF and fatness with cardiometabolic disease risk factors. + + RESULTS: Factor analysis revealed four underlying factors: blood pressure, cholesterol, vascular health, and carbohydrate-metabolism. Only CRF was significantly (P = .001) associated with the blood pressure factor. Only fatness associated with vascular health (P = .010) and carbohydrate metabolism (P = .005) factors. For the cardiometabolic disease risk summary score, there was an interaction effect. High CRF was associated with decreased cardiometabolic disease risk in overweight-obese but not normal weight children (P = .006). Conversely, high fatness was associated with increased cardiometabolic disease risk in low fit but not high fit children (P < .001). + + CONCLUSIONS: In preadolescent children, CRF and fatness explain different components of cardiometabolic disease risk. However, high CRF may moderate the relationship between fatness and cardiometabolic disease risk. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: ACTRN 12614000433606. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

Identifying factors that counteract these adaptations are important for long-term weight loss and weight maintenance. + + OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether increased protein/carbohydrate ratio would reduce adaptive thermogenesis (AT) and the expected positive energy balance (EB) during weight maintenance after weight loss in participants with prediabetes in the postobese state. + + METHODS: In 38 participants, the effects of 2 diets differing in protein/carbohydrate ratio on energy expenditure and respiratory quotient (RQ) were assessed during 48-h respiration chamber measurements ~34 mo after weight loss. Participants consumed a high-protein (HP) diet (n = 20; 13 women/7 men; age: 64.0 +/- 6.2 y; BMI: 28.9 +/- 4.0 kg/m 2) with 25:45:30% or a moderate-protein (MP) diet (n = 18; 9 women/9 men; age: 65.1 +/- 5.8 y; BMI: 29.0 +/- 3.8 kg/m 2) with 15:55:30% of energy from protein:carbohydrate:fat. Predicted resting energy expenditure (REEp) was calculated based on fat-free mass and fat mass. AT was assessed by subtracting measured resting energy expenditure (REE) from REEp. The main outcomes included differences in components of energy expenditure, substrate oxidation, and AT between groups. + + RESULTS: EB (MP = 0.2 +/- 0.9 MJ/d; HP = -0.5 +/- 0.9 MJ/d) and RQ (MP = 0.84 +/- 0.02; HP = 0.82 +/- 0.02) were reduced and REE (MP: 7.3 +/- 0.2 MJ/d compared with HP: 7.8 +/- 0.2 MJ/d) was increased in the HP group compared with the MP group (P < 0.05). REE was not different from REEp in the HP group, whereas REE was lower than REEp in the MP group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, EB was positively related to AT (rs = 0.74; P < 0.001) and RQ (rs = 0.47; P < 0.01) in the whole group of participants. + + CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, an HP diet compared with an MP diet led to a negative EB and counteracted AT ~34 mo after weight loss, in participants with prediabetes in the postobese state. These results indicate the relevance of compliance to an increased protein/carbohydrate ratio for long-term weight maintenance after weight loss.

We evaluated whether body mass index (BMI) or glucose metabolism were associated with ApoC3 in healthy monozygotic (MZ) twins. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Forty-seven MZ twin-pairs (20 man, 27 women), aged 23-42 years, were divided in subgroups according to discordance or concordance for (a) BMI (within-pair difference (DELTA) in BMI>=3.0 or<3.0 kg/m2), or (b) 2-h glucose iAUC, during oral glucose tolerance test (DELTAGlucose iAUC >=97.5 or<97.5 mmol x 120 minutes). Within these discordant or concordant subgroups, we tested (Wilcoxon signed-rank test) co-twin differences in ApoC3, adiposity measures, insulin-resistance and beta-cell function indices, and plasma and lipoprotein lipids. In BMI-Discordant (p = 0.92) or BMI-Concordant (p = 0.99) subgroups, ApoC3 did not differ between leaner and heavier co-twins. In the Glucose-Discordant subgroup, ApoC3 was significantly higher in twins with higher Glucose iAUC than in their co-twins with the lower Glucose iAUC (10.03 +/- 0.78 vs. 8.48 +/- 0.52 mg/dl; M +/- SE; p = 0.032). Co-twins with higher Glucose iAUC also had higher waist circumference, body fat percentage, liver fat content, worse insulin-sensitivity and beta-cell function and higher cholesterol and triglyceride in plasma VLDL, IDL, and LDL. In Glucose-Concordant twin-pairs, no significant differences were observed in the explored variables. In all twin-pairs, DELTAApoC3 correlated with DELTA in lipids and glucose metabolism variables, the closest relationship being between DELTAApoC3 and DELTAVLDL triglyceride (r = 0.74, p < 0.0001). + + CONCLUSIONS: While ApoC3 was not related to acquired differences in BMI, it associated with early dysregulation of glucose metabolism independently of obesity and genetic background.

In particular, the role of post-translational modifications in brown adipocyte differentiation has not been extensively studied. Histidine phosphorylation is increasingly recognized an important process for protein post-translational modifications. In this study, we show that histidine phosphorylation patterns change during brown adipocyte differentiation. In addition, the expression level of protein histidine phosphatase 1 (PHPT1), a major mammalian phosphohistidine phosphatase, is reduced rapidly at the early phase of differentiation and recovers at the later phase. During white adipocyte differentiation of 3T3- L1 preadipocytes, however, the expression level of PHPT1 do not significantly change. Knockdown of PHPT1 promotes brown adipocyte differentiation, whereas ectopic expression of PHPT1 suppresses brown adipocyte differentiation. These results collectively suggest that histidine phosphorylation is closely linked to brown adipocyte differentiation and could be a therapeutic target for obesity and related metabolic diseases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Messenger). 4QD397987E (Histidine).

The use of animal models remains necessary, particularly at early stages of research (preclinical) and for advancing in mechanistic aspects of carotenoid action. No single animal model completely mimics human absorption and metabolism of carotenoids, and the best model must be chosen considering the specific application, characteristics of the individual models, and funding and facilities available. Here, we propose three protocols in mice to investigate the potential of a given carotenoid, carotenoid mixture, or carotenoid-rich extract to (a) counteract the development of obesity and prevent the metabolic alterations caused by feeding mice a moderate high-fat diet; (b) improve the metabolic profile of obese animals with metabolic alterations caused by chronic high-fat diet feeding; and (c) act as coadjuvants in weight loss strategies (reversion to a low fat diet) applied to diet-induced obese animals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 36-88-4 (Carotenoids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of GSE supplementation on inflammatory markers, neuropeptide Y, anthropometric measurements, and appetite in obese or overweight individuals. + + METHODS AND MATERIALS: A randomized, double-blind clinical trial was performed on 40 obese or overweight subjects who were randomly assigned to receive GSE (300 mg/day) or placebo for a period of 12-weeks. Both groups were under a restricted calorie diet (RCD)(~250 kcal lower than the estimated energy requirement). Anthropometric measurements, biochemical biomarkers and dietary intakes were determined during the study period. + + RESULTS: The reductions of body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, and waist to hip ratio were significantly higher in the GSE group compared to the placebo group (P = 0.045, 0.033, 0.029, and 0.021, respectively). Lower levels of neuropeptide Y, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein were observed in the GSE group in comparison with the placebo group (P = 0.041, 0.001, and 0.034, respectively). + + CONCLUSION: GSE supplement with a RCD has favorable effects in reducing anthropometric measurements and inflammatory markers in obese or overweight individuals, and may play an effective role in the treatment of obesity.

We aimed to evaluate the association between plasma CD36 levels and diabetes risk and to examine if the association was independent of adiposity among Danish population. + + METHODS: We conducted a case-cohort study nested within the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health study among participants free of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer and with blood samples and anthropometric measurements (height, weight, waist circumference, and body fat percentage) at baseline (1993 to 1997). CD36 levels were measured in 647 incident diabetes cases that occurred before December 2011 and a total of 3,515 case-cohort participants (236 cases overlap). + + RESULTS: Higher plasma CD36 levels were associated with higher diabetes risk after adjusting for age, sex and other lifestyle factors. The hazard ratio (HR) comparing high versus low tertile of plasma CD36 levels was 1.36 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00 to 1.86). However, the association lost its significance after further adjustment for different adiposity indices such as body mass index (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.87 to 1.73), waist circumference (HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.88 to 1.68) or body fat percentage (HR, 1.20; 95% CI, 0.86 to 1.66). Moreover, raised plasma CD36 levels were moderately associated with diabetes risk among lean participants, but the association was not present among overweight/obese individuals. + + CONCLUSION: Higher plasma CD36 levels were associated with higher diabetes risk, but the association was not independent of adiposity. In this Danish population, the association of CD36 with diabetes risk could be either mediated or confounded by adiposity.

Liver gene expression was assessed in 22 subjects (12 controls, 5 NASH, 5 NASH-related cirrhosis). + + RESULTS: Patients in early stages of NAFLD demonstrate higher fasting MPGF and lower incremental increase of glicentin during oral glucose tolerance test than controls. In more advanced stages, FSTL3 levels are higher in NASH than simple steatosis and, within NAFLD patients, in those with more severe lobular and portal inflammation. The IGF-1/intact IGFBP-3 ratio is lower in patients with liver fibrosis. Genes encoding follistatin, activin A, activin B, and the IGF-1 receptor are higher in NASH. + + CONCLUSION: MPGF and glicentin may be involved in early stages of NAFLD, whereas FSTL3 and IGF-1/intact IGFBP3 in the progression to NASH and liver fibrosis respectively, suggesting potential as diagnostic markers or therapeutic targets.

Asthma is now recognized as a heterogeneous disease and emerging clinical and laboratory research has elucidated understanding of asthma's underlying immunology. The future of asthma is classifying asthma by endotype through connecting discernible characteristics with immunological mechanisms. This comprehensive review of the immunology of asthma details the currently known pathophysiology and clinical practice biomarkers in addition to forefront biologic and targeted therapies for all of the asthma endotypes. By understanding the immunology of asthma, practitioners will be able to diagnose patients by asthma endotype and provide personalized, biomarker-driven treatments to effectively control patients' asthma.

In obese non-diabetic adolescents, we investigated if the OGTT-time-to-glucose-peak also reflects incretin and free fatty acid (FFA) responses besides insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function, measured by the clamp. + + METHODS: Obese adolescents (n = 278) were categorized according to their OGTT-time-to-glucose-peak by Early-peak (at 30 minutes) vs Late-peak (>30 minutes) groups. Body composition, visceral adipose tissue, oral disposition index and OGTT-area under the curve (AUC) were examined. A subset of 102 participants had both hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic and hyperglycemic clamps to measure in vivo insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, and beta-cell function relative to insulin sensitivity. + + RESULTS: Compared with the Early-peak group, the Late-peak group had impaired beta-cell function relative to insulin sensitivity, lower glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide-AUC, and higher FFA-AUC despite higher insulin- and C-peptide-AUC. They also had lower hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity despite similar percent body fat and visceral adipose tissue, and had higher prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance (all P < .05). + + CONCLUSIONS: In obese non-diabetic youth, those with a Late-peak vs an Early-peak glucose during an OGTT showed diminished beta-cell function, blunted incretin secretion, and lower insulin sensitivity of glucose and FFA metabolism. It remains to be determined if Late-peak glucose predicts the future development of type 2 diabetes in these high-risk youth. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

There is limited knowledge about factors associated with the development of aortic stenosis. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of aortic sclerosis or stenosis in 71-years-old men and determine which risk factors at 50 years of age predict the development of aortic sclerosis or aortic stenosis. Methods. A random sample of Swedish men from the general population, born in 1943 (n = 798) were followed for 21 years. Data on clinical characteristics and laboratory values were collected in 1993. An echocardiography was performed in 2014. We used logistic regression to examine the association between baseline data and the outcome. Results. Echocardiography was performed in 535 men, and aortic sclerosis or aortic stenosis was diagnosed in 27 (5.0%). 14 persons developed aortic stenosis (2.6%). Among men with aortic sclerosis or aortic stenosis, 29.6% were obese. In multivariable stepwise regression model, body mass index (odds ratio per unit increase 1.23 (95% CI 1.10-1.38; p = .0003)) and hypercholesterolemia, combined with high sensitive C-reactive protein (odds ratio versus all other 2.66 (1.18-6.00; p = .019)) were significantly associated with increased risk of developing aortic sclerosis or aortic stenosis. Body mass index was the only factor significantly associated with a higher risk of developing aortic stenosis. Conclusion. The prevalence of either aortic sclerosis or aortic stenosis was 5% and of aortic stenosis 2.6%. Obesity and hypercholesterolemia combined with elevated high sensitive C-reactive protein at the age of 50 predicted the development of degenerative aortic sclerosis or stenosis, whilst only obesity was correlated with the occurrence of aortic stenosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.1080%2f14017431.2019.1685126 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Kontogeorgos&issn=1401-7431&title=Scandinavian+Cardiovascular+Journal&atitle=Prevalence+and+risk+factors+of+aortic+stenosis+and+aortic+sclerosis%3A+a+21-year+follow-up+of+middle-aged+men.&volume=54&issue=2&spage=115&epage=123&date=2020&doi=10.1080%2F14017431.2019.1685126&pmid=31674218&sid=OVID:medline + +<1506> +Unique Identifier + 31669001 +Title + The interaction between prepregnancy BMI and gestational vitamin D deficiency on the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus subtypes with elevated fasting blood glucose. +Source + Clinical Nutrition. 39(7):2265-2273, 2020 07. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Shao B; Mo M; Xin X; Jiang W; Wu J; Huang M; Wang S; Muyiduli X; Si S; Shen Y; Chen Z; Yu Y +Authors Full Name + Shao, Bule; Mo, Minjia; Xin, Xing; Jiang, Wen; Wu, Jinhua; Huang, Manxian; Wang, Shuojia; Muyiduli, Xiamusiye; Si, Shuting; Shen, Yu; Chen, Zexin; Yu, Yunxian. +Institution + Shao, Bule.

Plasma VitD levels were measured in the first (T1) and/or second trimester (T2). Multiple linear and logistic regression models were used for evaluating the association of VitD with GDM. + + RESULTS: Prepregnancy BMI was positively associated with all three time-point glucose of OGTT. 25(OH)D level in T1 (beta = -0.003) and T2 (beta = -0.004), and its change from T1 to T2 (beta = -0.004) were significantly and inversely associated with fasting blood glucose (FBG) of OGTT, but not 1-h and 2-h postload blood glucose of OGTT, respectively. The negative associations of VitD and FBG were stronger among overweight/obese women. VitD deficiency (25(OH)D < 20 ng/ml) in T2 was associated with an increased risk of GDM with increased FBG, GDM subtype 1 (OR: 2.10) and subtype 3 (OR: 2.19). Moreover, prepregnancy BMI modified this effect on GDM subtype 1 (BMI < 24: OR = 1.42; BMI >= 24: OR = 9.61, P for interaction = 0.002). Lower VitD increment from T1 to T2 was associated with a higher risk for GDM among overweight/obese women. Additionally, GDM prevalence fluctuated with the season, i.e. lower in summer/fall and higher in winter/spring. + + CONCLUSIONS: Maternal VitD deficiency was associated with a higher risk of GDM subtype with increased FBG, and the risk is much greater among overweight/obesity women. The lower the VitD increment during pregnancy, the greater the risk of GDM, especially in overweight/obesity women. Furthermore, seasonal variation of GDM may be exhibited as a critical confounder in the association of VitD and GDM.

The GRS was constructed using three significant obesity-related SNP loci, and the OSS was calculated with three reliable oxidative stress biomarkers. + + RESULTS: The GRS showed a more significant association with increased obesity (OR = 2.879) than did individual SNPs after adjusting for age and sex. Three oxidative stress biomarkers, including malondialdehyde, oxidized low-density lipoprotein, and 8-epi-prostaglandin F2alpha , showed significantly high levels in the obese group. The OSS, which was the sum of each oxidative stress biomarker score, showed a markedly high association with the incidence of obesity, with an OR of 3.213. Based on the results of the regression tests and a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, we found that HOMA-IR, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), the GRS, and the OSS were the most relevant factors for the increased risk of obesity and were significantly associated with the incidence of obesity. The area under the ROC curve was improved when the GRS was added to the model (from 74.2% to 75.1%). + + CONCLUSIONS: We first identified that subjects with an obesity GRS and a high OSS might have a higher risk of obesity. Our findings and weighting approaches were effective in predicting the incidence of obesity; furthermore, the GRS is a relevant factor that significantly predicts the risk of obesity.

Twenty-eight obese adults (BMI>27kg/m2 Taiwan obesity criteria) were randomly assigned to either IRT (IRT; N=16) or sham control (PLA; N=12). The training parameters (twice/day; 3 days/week; 30 breaths/section; IRT: 55% PImax [maximal inspiratory pressure], PLA: 10% PImax) were identical. The endurance, pulmonary function, and blood lipid profiles were measured before/after intervention. After training, the PImax in IRT was greater than in PLA (+49.6%, p<.001), and the 6-minute walking test (6MWT) performance in IRT was greater than in PLA (+12.9%, p=0.001). However, there were no differences in pulmonary function (FVC, FEV1, or FEV1/FVC) and lipid profiles between groups. Our results demonstrate that a six-week progressively-programmed IRT was effective to improve endurance capacity and inspiratory muscle strength in obese individuals, whereas the IRT had no effects on pulmonary function, body composition, and blood lipid profiles.

Avocados have an additional LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering effect beyond that observed when their MUFAs are substituted for SFAs, especially on small, dense LDL (sdLDL) particles, which are susceptible to in vivo oxidation and associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). + + OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether a healthy diet with 1 avocado daily decreased the following secondary outcomes: circulating oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and related oxidative stress markers. + + METHODS: A randomized, crossover, controlled feeding trial was conducted with 45 men and women, aged 21-70 y, with overweight or obesity and elevated LDL-C (25th-90th percentile). Three cholesterol-lowering diets were provided (5 wk each) in random sequences: a lower-fat (LF) diet (24% calories from fat-7% SFAs, 11% MUFAs, 6% PUFAs) and 2 moderate-fat (MF) diets (34% calories from fat-6% SFAs, 17% MUFAs, 9% PUFAs): the avocado (AV) diet included 1 Hass avocado (~136 g) per day, and the MF diet used high oleic acid oils to match the fatty acid profile of 1 avocado. A general linear mixed model was used to analyze the treatment effects. + + RESULTS: Compared with baseline, the AV diet significantly decreased circulating oxLDL (-7.0 U/L, -8.8%, P = 0.0004) and increased plasma lutein concentration (19.6 nmol/L, 68.7%, P < 0.0001), and both changes differed significantly from that after the MF and LF diets (P <= 0.05). The change in oxLDL caused by the AV diet was significantly correlated with the changes in the number of sdLDL particles (r = 0.32, P = 0.0002) but not large, buoyant LDL particles. + + CONCLUSIONS: One avocado a day in a heart-healthy diet decreased oxLDL in adults with overweight and obesity, and the effect was associated with the reduction in sdLDL.

Doses (50-300 microg) were uptitrated weekly (cohort 1) or biweekly (cohort 2). + + MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Co-primary end points (cohort 1) were percentage changes from baseline to end of treatment in glucose (area under the curve from 0 to 4 hours [AUC0-4h]) post-mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) and weight. Exploratory measures included postprandial insulin and gastric emptying time (GET; cohort 2). + + RESULTS: Patients received cotadutide (cohort 1, n = 26; cohort 2, n = 20) or placebo (cohort 1, n = 13; cohort 2, n = 6). Significant reductions were observed with cotadutide vs placebo in glucose AUC0-4h post MMTT (least squares mean [90% CI], -21.52% [-25.68, -17.37] vs 6.32% [0.45, 12.20]; P < 0.001) and body weight (-3.41% [-4.37, -2.44] vs -0.08% [-1.45, 1.28]; P = 0.002). A significant increase in insulin AUC0-4h post MMTT was observed with cotadutide (19.3 mU.h/L [5.9, 32.6]; P = 0.008) and GET was prolonged on day 43 with cotadutide vs placebo (t1/2: 117.2 minutes vs -42.9 minutes; P = 0.0392). + + CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the glucose-lowering effects of cotadutide are mediated by enhanced insulin secretion and delayed gastric emptying. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03244800.

It is rapidly induced in epithelial cells under stress conditions, but constitutively produced from pre-adipocytes and mature adipocytes. Measuring the lipocalin-2 levels represents an effective approach for risk prediction, patient stratification and disease management. Nevertheless, due to ligand-binding, post-translational modification and protein-protein interaction, lipocalin-2 exists as multiple variants that elicit different pathophysiological functions. To characterize the specific structure-functional relationships of lipocalin-2 variants is critical for the development of biomarker assays with sufficient precision and reliability. Moreover, identifying the pathological forms of lipocalin-2 will provide new therapeutic targets and treatment approaches for obesity-related complications.

Every two years, 25 potential obesity-relevant clinical indicators were quantified. Overweight/obesity was defined using International Obesity Taskforce cutpoints at 10-11 years and 14-15 years. + + RESULTS: In both cohorts, three factors predicted both development and resolution of overweight/obesity in multivariable models. Among normal weight children, increased odds of developing overweight/obesity were associated with higher child (odd ratio (OR) 1.67-3.35 across different study waves) and maternal (OR 1.05-1.09) BMI, and inversely with higher maternal education (OR 0.60-0.62, when assessed at age 2-7 years). Lower odds of resolving existing overweight/obesity were related with higher child (OR 0.51-0.79) and maternal (OR 0.89-0.95) BMI, and inversely with higher maternal education (OR 1.62-1.92, when assessed at age 2-5 years). The prevalence of overweight/obesity at the age of 14-15 years was 13% among children with none of these risk factors at age 6-7 years, compared with 71% among those with all 3 risk factors (P < 0.001). + + CONCLUSIONS: From early childhood onwards, child and maternal BMI and maternal education predict overweight/obesity onset and resolution by adolescence. A simple risk score, easily available to child health clinicians, could help target treatment or prevention. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

There is an increasing interest in developing MDM2-based targeted therapies. Several classes of MDM2 inhibitors have been evaluated in preclinical models, with a few entering clinical trials, mainly for cancer therapy. However, noncarcinogenic roles for MDM2 have also been identified, demonstrating that MDM2 is involved in many chronic diseases and conditions such as inflammation and autoimmune diseases, dementia and neurodegenerative diseases, heart failure and cardiovascular diseases, nephropathy, diabetes, obesity, and sterility. MDM2 inhibitors have been shown to have promising therapeutic efficacy for treating inflammation and other nonmalignant diseases in preclinical evaluations. Therefore, targeting MDM2 may represent a promising approach for treating and preventing these nonmalignant diseases. In addition, a better understanding of how MDM2 works in nonmalignant diseases may provide new biomarkers for their diagnosis, prognostic prediction, and monitoring of therapeutic outcome. In this review article, we pay special attention to the recent findings related to the roles of MDM2 in the pathogenesis of several nonmalignant diseases, the therapeutic potential of its downregulation or inhibition, and its use as a biomarker.

Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios across different categories of BMI at baseline (18.5-24.9 [reference group], 25.0-29.9, 30.0-34.9, 35.0-39.9, and >=40 kg/m2) were 1.00, 0.92, 0.85, 0.74, and 0.63 (Ptrend <0.001) for total stroke; 1.00, 0.93, 0.88, 0.77, and 0.65 (Ptrend <0.001) for ischemic stroke; and 1.00, 0.79, 0.50, 0.50, and 0.41 (Ptrend <0.001) for hemorrhagic stroke, respectively. When we used an updated mean value of BMI, the graded inverse association of body mass index with stroke risk did not change. This linear association was consistent among patients of different subgroups. Further sensitivity analysis excluding patients who were diagnosed stroke within 6 months after first diagnosis of type 2 diabetes or including non-smokers only also confirmed our findings. + + CONCLUSION: The present study found an inverse association between BMI and the risk of total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke among patients with type 2 diabetes.

Method: This randomized crossover study consisted of two 6-week dietary intervention periods, separated by a >= 4-week washout. Subjects incorporated 1.5 oz of raw almonds twice daily or isocaloric CHO-based foods into their diets, with instructions to maintain body weight. Dietary intakes as well as insulin sensitivity, CHO metabolism indices, lipoprotein lipids and particles, and inflammatory markers were assessed. Results: Thirty-three subjects (17 male, 16 female), mean age 48.3 +/- 2.2 years and body mass index 30.5 +/- 0.7 kg/m2, provided evaluable data. Compared to CHO, almonds resulted in significantly (p < 0.01) higher intakes of protein, fat (unsaturated fatty acids), fiber, and magnesium and significantly (p < 0.001) lower intakes of CHO and sugars. No differences were observed between diet conditions for changes from baseline in the insulin sensitivity index from a short intravenous glucose tolerance test or other indices of glucose homeostasis. No significant differences were observed in biomarkers of cardiovascular risk except that the CHO intervention led to a shift toward a higher concentration of cholesterol in small, dense low-density lipoprotein subfraction 3+4 (LDL3 + 4) particles (p = 0.024 vs almonds). Conclusions: Intake of 3.0 oz/d raw almonds, vs energy-matched CHO foods, improved the dietary nutrient profile, but did not significantly affect insulin sensitivity and most markers of cardiometabolic health in overweight and obese men and women with prediabetes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Carbohydrates). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional protein with pleiotropic physiological functions. This study aimed to investigate the interrelation between circulating OPN and NAFLD in T2DM patients. Overall, 249 subjects were classified into 4 groups: 53 patients with NAFLD and T2DM; 57 with newly diagnosed T2DM; 59 with NAFLD; and 80 healthy age- and sex-matched controls. Serum OPN was measured by ELISA. The OPN distribution in the pooled data was divided into quartiles; significant trends across increasing quartiles were estimated by the Cochran-Armitage trend test. Compared with the controls, circulating OPN concentrations were significantly elevated in NAFLD patients and T2DM patients with or without NAFLD. Serum OPN levels were higher in the overweight/obese group than that in the lean group. Circulating OPN levels were positively correlated with CRP, age, BMI, SBP, DBP, HbA1c, UA, TGs, WBCs, neutrophils, FBG, and HOMA-IR and negatively correlated with ADP, albumin and HDL. Age, albumin, HbA1c, HDL and hsCRP were independently related to circulating OPN. The relative risks for NAFLD, T2DM and T2DM with NAFLD increased significantly along with increasing OPN quartiles based on the Cochran-Armitage trend test. OPN is an optimal predictor in the diagnosis of T2DM with NAFLD and T2DM and may contribute to the aggravation of the metabolic state. Copyright © 2019.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis suppression is functional and hence potentially reversible, and occurs predominantly at the level of the hypothalamus. While definitive mechanistic data are lacking, the evidence suggests that hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis suppression is mediated by dysregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines leading to hypothalamic inflammation. Dysregulation of central leptin and insulin signaling may also contribute. In contrast, recent data challenge the paradigm that estradiol excess is a major contributor to hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis suppression. Instead, relative estradiol signaling deficiency may contribute to metabolic dysregulation in men with diabesity. While weight loss and optimization of comorbidities can reverse functional hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis suppression, testosterone treatment leads to metabolically favorable changes in body composition and to improvements in insulin resistance. + + DISCUSSION: The relationship between diabesity and late-onset hypogonadism is bidirectional. Preliminary evidence suggests that, in carefully selected men, lifestyle measures and testosterone treatment may have additive effects. + + CONCLUSIONS: While recent research has provided new insights into mechanistic and clinical aspects of diabesity-associated late-onset hypogonadism, more evidence from well-designed large trials is needed to guide the optimal clinical approach to such men.

At the present time, over 1.9 billion adults and more than 600 million people can be, respectively, classified as overweight or obese, and numbers will continue to increase in the coming decades. This alarming scenario implies important clinical implications since excessive adiposity can progressively cause and/or exacerbate a wide spectrum of co-morbidities, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and even certain types of cancer, including breast cancer. Indeed, pathological remodelling of white adipose tissue and increased levels of fat-specific cytokines (mainly leptin), as a consequence of the obesity condition, have been associated with several hallmarks of breast cancer, such as sustained proliferative signaling, cellular energetics, inflammation, angiogenesis, activating invasion and metastasis. Different preclinical and clinical data have provided evidence indicating that obesity may worsen the incidence, the severity, and the mortality of breast cancer. In the present review, we will discuss the epidemiological connection between obesity and breast cancer progression and metastasis and we will highlight the candidate players involved in this dangerous relationship. Since the major cause of death from cancer is due to widespread metastases, understanding these complex mechanisms will provide insights for establishing new therapeutic interventions to prevent/blunt the effects of obesity and thwart breast tumor progression and metastatic growth.

In particular, visceral fat accumulation, which is a main component of metabolic syndrome, is closely associated with the progression of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to investigate the relationships of obesity-related indices and metabolic syndrome with subclinical atherosclerosis in middle-aged untreated workers. + + METHODS: Employees undergoing their periodic health check-up but without previous cardiovascular events or cardiovascular medications were enrolled in this study (n=7,750). Body mass index (BMI), percent body fat, waist circumference, and visceral fat area were evaluated as obesity-related indices. Assessment of visceral fat area was performed by computed tomography (CT). Subclinical atherosclerosis was assessed by measuring arterial stiffness using cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and by ultrasound examination of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). + + RESULTS: Obesity-related indices were significantly correlated with each other and were positively associated with carotid IMT but negatively associated with CAVI in multivariate regression analysis. In a logistic regression analysis including CAVI and carotid IMT simultaneously, CAVI was negatively associated, but carotid IMT was positively associated, with obesity defined by each obesity-related index. In contrast, both CAVI and carotid IMT were positively associated with the presence of metabolic syndrome based on visceral fat accumulation. + + CONCLUSIONS: Obesity-related indices were negatively associated with CAVI and positively associated with carotid IMT in middle-aged untreated workers, while both CAVI and carotid IMT were worsened in the presence of metabolic syndrome. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2020 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med17&DO=10.5551%2fjat.50633 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Sugiura&issn=1340-3478&title=Journal+of+Atherosclerosis+%26+Thrombosis&atitle=Relationships+of+Obesity-Related+Indices+and+Metabolic+Syndrome+with+Subclinical+Atherosclerosis+in+Middle-Aged+Untreated+Japanese+Workers.&volume=27&issue=4&spage=342&epage=352&date=2020&doi=10.5551%2Fjat.50633&pmid=31462618&sid=OVID:medline + +<1522> +Unique Identifier + 31442303 +Title + Randomized trial of weight loss in primary breast cancer: Impact on body composition, circulating biomarkers and tumor characteristics. +Source + International Journal of Cancer. 146(10):2784-2796, 2020 05 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Demark-Wahnefried W; Rogers LQ; Gibson JT; Harada S; Fruge AD; Oster RA; Grizzle WE; Norian LA; Yang ES; Della Manna D; Jones LW; Azrad M; Krontiras H +Author NameID + Demark-Wahnefried, Wendy; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5241-932X +Authors Full Name + Demark-Wahnefried, Wendy; Rogers, Laura Q; Gibson, Justin T; Harada, Shuko; Fruge, Andrew D; Oster, Robert A; Grizzle, William E; Norian, Lyse A; Yang, Eddy S; Della Manna, Deborah; Jones, Lee W; Azrad, Maria; Krontiras, Helen. +Institution + Demark-Wahnefried, Wendy.

Preclinical studies demonstrate negative energy balance inhibits cancer progression; however, feasibility and effects in patients are unknown. A two-arm, single-blinded, randomized controlled weight-loss trial was undertaken presurgery among 32 overweight/obese, Stage 0-II breast cancer patients. The attention control arm (AC) received basic nutritional counseling and upper-body progressive resistance training whereas the weight loss intervention (WLI) arm received identical guidance, plus counseling on caloric restriction and aerobic exercise to promote 0.68-0.92 kg/week weight loss. Anthropometrics, body composition, blood and survey data were collected at baseline and presurgery ~30 days later. Tumor markers (e.g., Ki67) and gene expression were assessed on biopsy and surgical specimens; sera were analyzed for cytokines, growth and metabolic factors. Significant WLI vs. AC differences were seen in baseline-to-follow-up changes in weight (-3.62 vs. -0.52 kg), %body fat (-1.3 vs. 0%), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (+224 vs. +115 min/week), caloric density (-0.3 vs. 0 kcal/g), serum leptin (-12.3 vs. -4.0 ng/dl) and upregulation of tumor PI3Kinase signaling and cell cycle-apoptosis related genes (CC-ARG; all p-values <0.05). Cytolytic CD56dim NK cell expression was positively associated with weight loss; CC-ARG increased with physical activity. Increased tumor (nuclear) TNFalpha and IL-1beta, CX3CL1 and CXCL1 gene expression was observed in the WLI. Tumor Ki67 did not differ between arms. Feasibility benchmarks included 80% accrual, 100% retention, no adverse effects and excellent adherence. Short-term weight loss interventions are feasible; however, mixed effects on tumor biology suggest unclear benefit to presurgical caloric restriction, but possible benefits of physical activity.

Moreover, dysbiotic gut microbiota has been suggested to promote systemic low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance through the release of endotoxins particularly lipopolysaccharides. We have previously shown that exercise training improves intestinal metabolism in healthy men. To understand whether changes in intestinal metabolism interact with gut microbiota and its release of inflammatory markers, we studied the effects of sprint interval (SIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on intestinal metabolism and microbiota in subjects with insulin resistance. + + METHODS: Twenty-six, sedentary subjects (prediabetic, n = 9; type 2 diabetes, n = 17; age, 49 [SD, 4] yr; body mass index, 30.5 [SD, 3]) were randomized into SIT or MICT. Intestinal insulin-stimulated glucose uptake (GU) and fatty acid uptake (FAU) from circulation were measured using positron emission tomography. Gut microbiota composition was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and serum inflammatory markers with multiplex assays and enzyme-linked immunoassay kit. + + RESULTS: VO2peak improved only after SIT (P = 0.01). Both training modes reduced systematic and intestinal inflammatory markers (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, lipopolysaccharide binding protein) (time P < 0.05). Training modified microbiota profile by increasing Bacteroidetes phylum (time P = 0.03) and decreasing Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (time P = 0.04). Moreover, there was a decrease in Clostridium genus (time P = 0.04) and Blautia (time P = 0.051). Only MICT decreased jejunal FAU (P = 0.02). Training had no significant effect on intestinal GU. Colonic GU associated positively with Bacteroidetes and inversely with Firmicutes phylum, ratio Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes and Blautia genus. + + CONCLUSIONS: Intestinal substrate uptake associates with gut microbiota composition and whole-body insulin sensitivity. Exercise training improves gut microbiota profiles and reduces endotoxemia. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Acute-Phase Proteins). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Carrier Proteins). 0 (Membrane Glycoproteins). 0 (TNF protein, human). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 0 (lipopolysaccharide-binding protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

They are thought to play a key role in pathogenesis of many diseases. We aimed to investigate the association between ADAMTS 2, 3, and 14 (procollagen) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). + + METHODS: Eighty-six individuals who were suspected of OSA were included. All cases underwent polysomnography. Participants were divided into 3 groups according to apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): control (n = 22), mild-to-moderate OSA (n = 36), and severe OSA (n = 28). ADAMTS proteinases 2, 3, and 14 were analyzed in serum samples. + + RESULTS: When compared with other groups, patients with severe OSA showed significantly higher body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.001), whereas they showed significantly lower ADAMTS 3 levels (p = 0.016). No difference was found between groups with respect to the levels ADAMTS 2 and 14. There was a negative relation between the levels of ADAMTS 3 and the severity of OSA (Kendall's tau = - 0.19, p = 0.021). The levels of ADAMTS 3 were also found to be positively correlated with minimum SpO2 (r = 0.31, p = 0.004) and negatively correlated with BMI, AHI, oxygen desaturation index (ODI), time duration with oxygen saturation < 90% (T90), and CRP (r = - 0.31 to - 0.49, p < 0.05). Multivariable regression analysis revealed that BMI (p = 0.013) and CRP levels (p = 0.005) were significantly associated with the levels of ADAMTS 3. + + CONCLUSIONS: ADAMTS 3, one of the procollagen proteinases, was decreased in severe OSA. Lack of ADAMTS 3 proteinase may contribute to process of sleep apnea due to insufficient collagen syntheses. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). EC 3-4-24-87 (ADAMTS13 Protein).

After salmon intake, serum concentrations of 1-MeHis (p = 2.0 x 10-6) and creatine (p = 6.1 x 10-4), and urine concentrations (relative to creatinine) of 1-MeHis (p = 4.2 x 10-6) and creatine (p = 4.0 x 10-5) were increased when compared to Control group. Serum and urine concentrations of TMAO were more increased following cod intake compared to salmon intake (p = 0.028 and 2.9 x 10-4, respectively), and serum and urine 1-MeHis concentrations were more increased after salmon intake compared to cod intake (p = 8.7 x 10-5 and 1.2 x 10-4, respectively). Cod and salmon intake did not affect serum and urine concentrations of 3-methylhistidine, and only marginally affected concentrations of free amino acids and amino acid metabolites. + + CONCLUSION: TMAO measured in serum or urine is a potential biomarker of cod intake, and 1-MeHis measured in serum or urine is a potential biomarker of salmon intake. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Methylamines). 0 (Methylhistidines). 332-80-9 (1-methylhistidine).

Therefore, we evaluated these two high-fiber diets in relation to inflammation indices in obese and overweight women. + + STUDY DESIGN: Parallel randomized clinical trial. + + METHODS: In the present study, 75 women were recruited and randomly assigned to three diet groups: a whole grain diet (WG-D) group, F&V group, and a combined whole grain and F&V diet group (WGFV-D) for 10 weeks. As a "feeding trial" all participants were asked to visit the clinic daily and eat prescribed foods in the presence of a nutritionist. Anthropometric indices and biochemical biomarkers were measured at baseline and after 10 weeks of the trial. + + RESULTS: Each of the three diet groups showed significant changes in serum biomarkers (CRP, TNF-alpha, IL-6, D-dimer, and serum fibrinogen) after following the diet for 10 weeks (P = 0.01). In adjusted models, significant changes were observed for CRP, TNF-alpha, IL-6, D-dimer, and serum fibrinogen (P = 0.01). In a model adjusted for malondialdehyde (MDA) level, a trend toward significance was observed (P = 0.05). Consumption of all three different diets for 10 weeks showed statistically significant change for all biomarkers (P < 0.05) the most notable changes in inflammatory indices were observed among participants following the WG diet. + + CONCLUSIONS: Study results indicate that consumption of high-fiber diets, especially the WG diet, can help lower inflammatory levels and prevent subsequent adverse health consequences. + + LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I, randomized controlled trial. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This was presumed to be primarily because of its anti-inflammatory effects; however, limited data exist regarding colchicine's impact on other cardiovascular risk factors. + + OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine if colchicine's anti-inflammatory actions would lead to reduced circulating concentrations of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in metabolically unhealthy individuals. We also examined if colchicine would improve concentrations of other atherogenic lipoprotein subfractions. + + METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study in which 40 adults with metabolic syndrome were randomized to colchicine 0.6 mg or placebo twice daily for 3 months. Blood samples were collected in the fasted state. OxLDL was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to measure other lipoprotein particle subfraction concentrations. + + RESULTS: Compared with placebo, colchicine reduced markers of inflammation, including C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and GlycA (P < .01). Concentrations of oxLDL (P = .019) and small LDL (P = .022) appeared significantly increased in the colchicine arm. Colchicine had no significant effect on other lipoprotein subfractions or lipoprotein particle sizes (all P > .05). + + CONCLUSION: Although colchicine may have benefit in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease in at-risk individuals, we found no evidence that these effects are because of improvements in circulating atherogenic lipoprotein particle concentrations. Further studies are needed to confirm whether colchicine increases circulating oxLDL and small LDL levels in adults with metabolic syndrome. If true, additional research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these associations.

The association of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy with later-life cardiovascular disease is well-established, however, it is unknown how obesity and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy converge to accelerate development of hypertension in the postpartum period. The aim of this study was to characterize rates of sustained hypertension at one year postpartum using the new American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Guidelines among overweight and obese women with a normotensive pregnancy or hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. + + STUDY DESIGN: 315 early pregnant women were enrolled prospectively and followed up to 12months after delivery (mean 7.0+/-1.8months). At a postpartum research visit, we measured blood pressure and collected blood samples to measure cystatin C and high sensitivity C-reactive protein. + + RESULTS: A total of 254 women had a normotensive pregnancy, 39 had gestational hypertension (12.4%) and 22 had preeclampsia (7.0%). 91 women had hypertension at the postpartum study visit (28.9%). After adjustment for maternal age, BMI, lactation and time postpartum, preeclampsia was associated with an aOR 2.35 (95%CI 1.63-3.41) of development of sustained hypertension and an aOR 3.23 (95%CI 1.56-6.68) of hypertension with abnormal biomarkers compared to women with normotensive pregnancies. + + CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate a high prevalence of hypertension and abnormal biomarkers associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy among overweight and obese women. Our findings support the need for structured follow up and risk reduction in overweight and obese women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy as early as the first year postpartum.

Increased weight loss was associated with increased baseline levels of leptin and CRP and decreased baseline levels of CC. Remission of diabetes and asthma was not associated with baseline levels of any biomarker. A higher likelihood of asthma remission was associated with a greater decrease in leptin levels, and a higher likelihood of diabetes remission was predicted by a lesser decrease in CC. Bariatric surgery was associated with decreased post-operative CC, CRP, and leptin levels, and increased post-operative ghrelin levels. + + CONCLUSION: This is the largest study to date of serum biomarkers of inflammation and adiposity in a bariatric surgery cohort. Biomarker levels correlate with metabolic disease prevalence prior to bariatric surgery, and with weight loss but not metabolic disease remission after surgery. Bariatric surgery regulates serum biomarker levels in a manner consistent with anti-inflammatory and compensatory orexigenic effects. These data contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the biologic effects of bariatric surgery. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Ghrelin). 0 (Leptin). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Whether concomitant CKD modifies long-term ischemic stroke risk in individuals with SCT is uncertain. We analyzed data from 3602 genotyped black adults (female = 62%, mean baseline age = 54 years) who were followed for a median 26 years by the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study. Ischemic stroke was verified by physician review. Associations between SCT and ischemic stroke were analyzed using repeat-events Cox regression, adjusted for potential confounders. SCT was identified in 236 (7%) participants, who more often had CKD at baseline than noncarriers (18% vs 13%, P = .02). Among those with CKD, elevated factor VII activity was more prevalent with SCT genotype (36% vs 22%; P = .05). From 1987-2017, 555 ischemic strokes occurred in 436 individuals. The overall hazard ratio of ischemic stroke associated with SCT was 1.31 (95% CI: 0.95-1.80) and was stronger in participants with concomitant CKD (HR = 2.18; 95% CI: 1.16-4.12) than those without CKD (HR = 1.09; 95% CI: 0.74-1.61); P for interaction = .04. The hazard ratio of composite ischemic stroke and/or death associated with SCT was 1.20 (95% CI: 1.01-1.42) overall, 1.44 (95% CI: 1.002-2.07) among those with CKD, and 1.15 (95% CI: 0.94-1.39) among those without CKD; P for interaction = .18. The long-term risk of ischemic stroke associated with SCT relative to noncarrier genotype appears to be modified by concomitant CKD.

We tested whether the Healthy Aging Index (HAI) and other mortality biomarkers were responsive to intentional weight loss (WL), which is associated with lower mortality risk in recent meta-analyses. + + METHODS: Older adults (70.3 +/- 3.7 years) with obesity were randomized into a 6-month WL (n = 47) or weight stability (WS: +/-5% baseline weight; n = 48) program. Baseline and 6-month HAI score (0-10) was calculated from component sum (each 0-2: systolic blood pressure, forced vital capacity [FVC], creatinine, fasting blood glucose [FBG], Montreal Cognitive Assessment), and gait speed, grip strength, Digit Symbol Substitution Test, FEV1, Interleukin-6, C-Reactive Protein, and Cystatin-C were assessed at baseline and 6 months. + + RESULTS: Mean baseline HAI was 3.2 +/- 1.6. By 6 months, WL participants lost 8.87 (95% CI: -10.40, -7.34) kg, whereas WS participants remained weight stable. WL group reduced HAI score (WL: -0.75 [95% CI: -1.11, -0.39] vs WS: -0.22 [95% CI: -0.60, 0.15]; p = .04), and components changing the most were FBG (WL: -3.89 [95% CI: -7.78, 0.00] mg/dL vs WS: 1.45 [95% CI: -2.61, 5.50] mg/dL; p = .047) and FVC (WL: 0.11 [95% CI: -0.01, 0.23] L vs WS: -0.05 [95% CI: -0.17, 0.08] L; p = .06). Among other biomarkers, only Cystatin-C significantly changed (WL: -2.53 [95% CI: -4.38, -0.68] ng/mL vs WS: 0.07 [95% CI: -1.85, 1.98] ng/mL; p = .04). Combining treatment groups, 1 kg WL was associated with a 0.07 (95% CI: 0.03, 0.12) HAI reduction (p < .01). + + CONCLUSION: Intentional WL via caloric restriction reduced HAI score by 0.53 points, largely attributable to metabolic and pulmonary improvements.

We aim to identify the association between obesity-driven biomarkers and ccRCC risk. This is a retrospective, two-phase, case-control study involving 682 cases and 733 controls. Obesity-driven biomarkers [gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), C-peptide, insulin, resistin, adipsin, peptide YY, pancreatic polypeptide, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, lipocalin2, leptin, adiponectin] were measured using the Milliplex method. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the associations between biomarkers and ccRCC risk. Results revealed that GIP, C-peptide, IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels were consistently distinct between cases and controls. These markers were significantly associated with ccRCC risk in both phases (except C-peptide). In the combined population, compared with individuals with low levels of the biomarkers, individuals with high level of GIP [odds ratio (OR) = 0.52, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.40-0.67] had lower risk, whereas individuals with high levels of C-peptide (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.15-1.87), IL-6 (OR = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.50-3.22), TNF-alpha (OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.49-2.43) had significantly higher risk. Stratified analysis showed consistent associations with ccRCC risk in most subgroups (P < 0.05). The risk score based on the IL-6, TNF-alpha and GIP was positively associated with ccRCC risk in a dose-response manner (P for trend = 2.18E-13). Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas indicate that insulin signaling, IL-6 signaling and TNF-alpha signaling were enhanced in tumors. Collectively, our study demonstrates the integrative effect of insulin resistance and inflammation in ccRCC development, which may elucidate the basis of association between obesity and carcinogenesis. Further confirmation in prospective cohort studies are warranted for clinical applications in prevention and precision medicine of ccRCC. Copyright © The Author(s) 2019.

The aim of this study is to evaluate to what extent the abundance of gut microbiota phyla, SCFA concentrations, and inflammatory markers are associated with elevated body fat percentage (BF%), overweight, and obesity in female adolescents. + + METHODS: An experimental and comparative study was conducted with 96 girls 14 to 19 years old. They were divided into 3 groups: G1-eutrophic (EUT) and adequate BF%; G2-EUT and high BF%; and G3-overweight (OW) or obese (OB) and high BF%. Waist circumference (WC), waist to height ratio (WtHR), and neck circumference (NC) were analyzed as indicators of central visceral adiposity. The BF% was evaluated by DEXA equipment. A food frequency questionnaire was used to evaluate the main types of food consumed in a week. The abundance of the Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria phyla was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and the SFCA concentrations (acetic, butyric, and propionic) were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The inflammatory markers leptin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were assessed. + + RESULTS: Female adolescents in groups G2 and G3 had greater central visceral adiposity and leptin concentration than those in group G1. No association was found between gut microbiota phyla abundance and SFCA concentrations in any of the groups. WC and frequency of consumption of oily and fatty foods were associated with Firmicutes abundance and SFCA concentrations. Girls with high WC also had the greatest leptin (p < 0.001) and hs-CRP (p = 0.035) concentrations. + + CONCLUSIONS: Inflammatory markers showed association with increased BMI and high BF% in female adolescents. The abundance of Firmicutes was associated with WC and NC, but not with BMI classification or BF%. Specifically, WC and the consumption of oils and fats showed correlation with SCFA concentrations. Different anthropometric indicators, such as NC and WC, should be incorporated into the clinical evaluation of the nutritional status of individuals in the adolescent population.

However, the mediator(s) between nutritional status, circadian rhythms and metabolism remain largely unknown. This article aims to clarify the key metabolic pathways bridging nutritional status and circadian rhythms based on a combination of metabolomics and molecular biological techniques. A mouse model of high-fat diet-induced obesity was established and serum samples were collected in obese and normal mice at different zeitgeber times. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, multivariate/univariate data analyses and metabolic pathway analysis were used to reveal changes in metabolism. Metabolites involved in the metabolism of purines, carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids were markedly perturbed in accordance with circadian related variations, among which purine catabolism showed a typical oscillation. What's more, the rhythmicity of purine catabolism dampened in the high-fat diet group. The expressions of clock genes and metabolic enzymes in the liver were measured. The mRNA expression of Xanthine oxidase (Xor) was highly correlated with the rhythmicity of Clock, Rev-erbalpha and Bmal1, as well as the metabolites involved in purine catabolism. These data showed that a high-fat diet altered the circadian rhythm of metabolic pathways, especially purine catabolism. It had an obvious circadian oscillation and a high-fat diet dampened its circadian rhythmicity. It was suggested that circadian rhythmicity of purine catabolism is related to circadian oscillations of expression of Xor, Uox and corresponding clock genes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Purines).

The present study assessed whether a lifestyle intervention in breast cancer survivors could affect dietary biomarkers of fruit and vegetables and fatty acids. + + METHODS: In this phase II single-arm trial, 37 overweight/obese early stage breast cancer patients completed a 12-week diet and exercise intervention. The intervention involved 1-h weekly diet sessions delivered by a dietician and 75-min bi-weekly physical activity sessions of moderate-to-high intensity led by trained monitors. Before and after the intervention, three 24-h dietary recalls were carried out to calculate nutrient intakes and, in addition, blood samples were taken to measure plasma carotenoids, vitamin E and retinol concentrations and erythrocyte membrane fatty acid (EFA) composition. Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used to assess changes in dietary and biomarkers measurements over the intervention period. + + RESULTS: After the intervention, there was a significant increase in the intake of dietary carotenoids (+15.1% compared to baseline) but not plasma carotenoids levels (+6.3%). Regarding the EFA levels, we observed a significant decrease in percentage of saturated fatty acids (-1.4%) and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (-2.9%) and an increase in monounsaturated fatty acids (1.7%) and total and long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (by 13.1% and 13.7%, respectively). A favourable decrease in the ratio of long-chain n-6 to n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (-9.1%) was also observed. + + CONCLUSIONS: After a short-term diet and exercise intervention in overweight/obese breast cancer survivors, we observed significant changes in dietary nutrients and fatty acid biomarkers, suggesting positive dietary changes that could be relevant for breast cancer prognosis.

SLC6A4 is an important mediator of serotonin bioavailability, and has a key role in energy balance. We tested the hypothesis that methylation of the SLC6A4 gene predicts adiposity across the life course. + + METHODS: DNA methylation at 5 CpGs within the SLC6A4 gene identified from a previous methyl binding domain array was measured by pyrosequencing. We measured DNA methylation in umbilical cord (UC) from children in the Southampton Women's Survey cohort (n = 680), in peripheral blood from adolescents in the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort Study (n = 812), and in adipose tissue from lean and obese adults from the UK BIOCLAIMS cohort (n = 81). Real-time PCR was performed to assess whether there were corresponding alterations in gene expression in the adipose tissue. + + RESULTS: Lower UC methylation of CpG5 was associated with higher total fat mass at 4 years (p = 0.031), total fat mass at 6-7 years (p = 0.0001) and % fat mass at 6-7 years (p = 0.004). Lower UC methylation of CpG5 was also associated with higher triceps skinfold thickness at birth (p = 0.013), 6 months (p = 0.038), 12 months (p = 0.062), 2 years (p = 0.0003), 3 years (p = 0.00004) and 6-7 years (p = 0.013). Higher maternal pregnancy weight gain (p = 0.046) and lower parity (p = 0.029) were both associated with lower SLC6A4 CpG5 methylation. In adolescents, lower methylation of CpG5 in peripheral blood was associated with greater concurrent measures of adiposity including BMI (p <= 0.001), waist circumference (p = 0.011), subcutaneous fat (p <= 0.001) and subscapular, abdominal and suprailiac skinfold thicknesses (p = 0.002, p = 0.008, p = 0.004, respectively).

Here we show that DN B cells do not proliferate and do not make antibodies to influenza antigens, but they secrete antibodies with autoimmune reactivity, in agreement with their membrane phenotype (CD95+CD21-CD11c+) and their spontaneous expression of the transcription factor T-bet. These cells also increase in the blood of individuals with obesity and autoimmune diseases, but causative mechanisms and signaling pathways involved are known only in part. In the present paper we compare frequencies and metabolic requirements of these cells in the blood of healthy individuals of different ages and in the blood and the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) of individuals with obesity. Results show that DN B cells from young individuals have minimal metabolic requirements, DN B cells from elderly and obese individuals utilize higher amounts of glucose to perform autoimmune antibody production and enroll in aerobic glycolysis to support their function. DN B cells from the SAT have the highest metabolic requirements as they activate oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation. DN B cells from the SAT also show the highest levels of ROS and the highest levels of phosphorylated AMPK (5'-AMP activated kinase) and Sestrin 1, both able to mitigate stress and cell death. This metabolic advantage drives DN B cell survival and function (secretion of autoimmune antibodies). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Messenger). 0 (Reactive Oxygen Species). 0 (T-Box Domain Proteins). 0 (T-box transcription factor TBX21).

We aimed to investigate associations between different forms of child maltreatment and mid-adult cardiometabolic markers and whether potential intermediaries could account for the associations observed. + + SETTING: 1958 British birth cohort. + + PARTICIPANTS: Approximately 9000 cohort members with data on cardiometabolic markers. + + OUTCOMES: Adult (45y) cardiometabolic markers (blood pressure, lipids and glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c]). + + RESULTS: Seventeen per cent of participants were identified as neglected; 6.1%, 1.6% and 10.0% were identified as experiencing physical, sexual and psychological abuse, respectively. Childhood neglect and physical abuse were associated with high body mass index (BMI) and large waist circumference when adjusting for early-life covariates. For neglect, the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) was 1.16 (95% CI: 1.02 to 1.32) and 1.15 (1.02 to 1.30) for general and central obesity, respectively, and for physical abuse, the respective AOR was 1.36 (1.13 to 1.64) and 1.38 (1.16 to 1.65). Neglect was also associated with raised triglycerides by 3.9 (0.3 to 7.5)% and HbA1c by 1.2 (0.4 to 2.0)%, and among females, lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) by 0.05 (0.01 to 0.08)mmol/L after adjustment. For physical abuse, the AOR was 1.25 (1.00 to 1.56) for high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HbA1c was raised by 2.5 (0.7 to 4.3)% (in males) and HDL-c was lower by 0.06 (0.01 to 0.12)mmol/L (in females). Associations for sexual abuse were similar to those for physical abuse but 95% CIs were wide. For psychological abuse, the AOR for elevated triglycerides was 1.21 (1.02 to 1.44) and HDL-c was lower by 0.04 (0.01 to 0.07)mmol/L. Maltreatments were not associated with raised blood pressure. In analyses of potential intermediary factors, several associations attenuated after adjustment for adult lifestyles (mainly smoking and alcohol consumption rather than physical activity) and child-to-adult BMI. + + CONCLUSIONS: Childhood maltreatments, particularly neglect and physical abuse, were associated with greater adiposity and poorer lipid and HbA1c profiles decades later in adulthood. Associations were modest but independent of early-life factors linked to these outcomes. Findings implicate adult lifestyles as an important intermediary between child maltreatment and outcomes.

We identified increased adipocyte expression of ECM-related clusterin (apolipoprotein J) in obese versus lean women by microarray. Our objective was to determine 1) whether subcutaneous AT adipocyte (SAd) clusterin and serum clusterin are associated with insulin resistance (IR) and known markers of cardiometabolic risk and 2) how clusterin may contribute to increased risk. + + RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We validated increased clusterin expression in adipocytes from a separate group of 18 lean and 54 obese individuals. The relationship of clusterin gene expression and plasma clusterin with IR, cardiovascular biomarkers, and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) was then determined. Further investigations in human cultured cells and in aged LDLR-/- mice prone to development of obesity-associated complications were performed. + + RESULTS: SAd clusterin correlated with IR, multiple CVD biomarkers, and CVD risk, independent of traditional risk factors. Circulating human clusterin exhibited similar associations. In human adipocytes, palmitate enhanced clusterin secretion, and in human hepatocytes, clusterin attenuated insulin signaling and APOA1 expression and stimulated hepatic gluconeogenesis. LRP2 (megalin), a clusterin receptor, highly expressed in liver, mediated these effects, which were inhibited by LRP2 siRNA. In response to Western diet feeding, an increase in adipocyte clusterin expression was associated with a progressive increase in liver fat, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis in aged LDLR-/- mice. + + CONCLUSIONS: Adipocyte-derived clusterin is a novel ECM-related protein linking cardiometabolic disease and obesity through its actions in the liver.

Aspirin pharmacodynamics were assessed according to serum thromboxane (TX) B2 levels measured at 4 hours, 24 hours (i.e., posologic interval) and 48 hours after the last witnessed intake; age-matched and sex-matched non-obese controls were included. A previously calibrated pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic in silico model of aspirin was used to fit serum TXB2 data from obese subjects. At baseline, the major urinary TXA2 and prostacyclin metabolites, urinary isoprostane and plasma inflammatory biomarkers were measured. + + RESULTS: In 16 obese subjects (aged 47 +/- 11 years; BMI of 39.4 +/- 5.1 kg/m2 ), residual serum TXB2 values between 4 and 48 hours after aspirin intake were increased 3- to 5-fold as compared with controls. At 24 hours, the residual serum TXB2 level was log-linearly associated with body size over a wide range of BMI and BW values, without any apparent threshold. The in silico model predicted that reduced aspirin bioavailability would be inversely related to body size and rescued by 200 mg of aspirin once daily or 85 mg twice daily. Baseline urinary TXA2 metabolite, isoprostane and plasma C-reactive protein levels were significantly increased in obese subjects. + + CONCLUSIONS: Obesity is associated with impaired aspirin responsiveness, largely because of body size. Impaired inhibition of platelet activation by conventional low-dose aspirin may affect antithrombotic efficacy.

Here, the duodenal-jejunal omega switch (DJOS) surgery in combination with high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet was performed on diet obese rats and joint effects of bariatric surgery and different dietary patterns on heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and HSP90 plasma and liver concentrations were measured. We found that plasma and liver levels of HSP70 were lower after DJOS surgery in comparison to the control in the groups of animals kept on control diet (CD) and high-fat, high-sugar diet (HFS) but the postoperative change of the diet led to the increase in HSP70 in plasma and liver concentration in DJOS-operated animals. A high-calorie meal, rich in carbohydrates and fats, significantly increased circulating levels of HSP90, reducing the normalising effect of DJOS. The HFS diet applied during all stages of the experiment led to the higher levels of liver HSP90 concentration. The combination of CD and DJOS surgery was the most efficient in the lowering of the HSP90 liver concentration. The normalisation of circulating levels and liver concentrations of HSP70 and HSP90 may be achieved in a combination of DJOS procedure with a proper dietary plan. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (HSP70 Heat-Shock Proteins). 0 (HSP90 Heat-Shock Proteins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Neurocognition was assessed using a 45-minute assessment battery assessing Executive Function, Verbal and Visual Memory. We considered three metabolic biomarkers: insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment [HOMA-IR]), plasma leptin, and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). Inflammation was assessed using C-reactive protein. Multiple regression analyses were used. + + RESULTS: Participants included 160 sedentary older adults with CIND. Participants tended to be overweight or obese (mean BMI = 32.5 [SD = 4.8]). Women exhibited higher BMI (p = 0.043), CRP (p < 0.001), and leptin (p < 0.001) compared with men. Higher BMI levels were associated with worse performance on measures of Executive Function (beta= -0.16, p = 0.024) and Verbal Memory (beta= -0.16, p = 0.030), but not Visual Memory (beta= 0.05, p = 0.500). Worse metabolic biomarker profiles also were associated with lower Executive Function (beta= -0.12, p = 0.050). Mediation analyses suggested leptin was a plausible candidate as a mediator between BMI and Executive Function. + + CONCLUSIONS: In overweight and obese adults with vascular CIND, the association between greater weight and poorer executive function may be mediated by higher leptin resistance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (IGF1 protein, human). 0 (Leptin). 67763-96-6 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor I). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Furthermore, we examined whether genetic and metagenomic factors can modulate plasma OXLAM concentrations by genotyping the fatty acid desaturase 1/2 (FADS) gene and by characterizing the gut microbiota. Subjects with MetS (n = 50) showed higher concentrations of 9- and 13-oxo-octadecadienoic acid (9- and 13-oxo-ODE) than subjects without MetS (n = 72). Both metabolites were associated with an adverse lipoprotein profile that was characterized by elevated very small-dense low-density lipoprotein (p < 0.005) and large very low-density lipoprotein particles (p = 0.01). Plasma 9- and 13-oxo-ODE were higher in subjects carrying the haplotype AA of the FADS gene cluster (p = 0.030 and p = 0.048, respectively). Furthermore, the reduced gut bacterial load was associated with higher 9-oxo-ODE concentrations (p = 0.035). This is the first study showing that high plasma OXLAM concentrations are associated with MetS and suggesting that the leading factors for high plasma concentrations of OXLAM might be the genetic background and the composition of the gut microbiota. In conclusion, high concentrations of 9- and 13-oxo-ODE, which may be the result of a genetic predisposition and a reduced gut bacterial load, are associated with MetS and with a proatherogenic lipoprotein profile in obese adolescents. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Delta-5 Fatty Acid Desaturase). 0 (Lipoproteins). 9KJL21T0QJ (Linoleic Acid).

Here we used high-throughput screening to analyze 358 proteins and 76 lipids, selected because of their relevance to obesity-associated diseases, in plasma and serum from age- and sex-matched lean and obese humans. Most of the proteins/lipids had similar concentrations in plasma and serum, but a subset showed significant differences. Notably, a key marker of cardiovascular disease PAI-1 showed a difference in concentration between the obese and lean groups only in plasma. Furthermore, some biomarkers showed poor correlations between plasma and serum, including PCSK9, an important regulator of cholesterol homeostasis. Collectively, our results show that the choice of biofluid may impact study outcome when screening for obesity-related biomarkers and we identify several markers where this will be the case. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1).

Soy isoflavones are effective natural active components for controlling obesity and reducing the level of blood lipid. Here, we explored whether these effects of soy isoflavones were associated with the intestinal barrier function. Methods and Results: The obese rat models were established by high fat diet feeding. Then, those obese rats were supplemented with soy isoflavones at different doses for 4 weeks. Our results showed that obesity induced the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines, decreased the anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) expression, elevated intestinal permeability, altered gut microbiota and exacerbated oxidative damages in colon. The administration of soy isoflavones reversed these changes in obese rats, presenting as the improvement of intestinal immune function and permeability, attenuation of oxidative damage, increase in the fraction of beneficial bacteria producing short-chain fatty acids and short-chain fatty acid production, and reduction in harmful bacteria. Furthermore, soy isoflavones blocked the expressions of TLR4 and NF-kappaB in the colons of the obese rats. Conclusions: Soy isoflavones could improve obesity through the attenuation of intestinal oxidative stress, recovery of immune and mucosal barrier, as well as re-balance of intestinal gut microbiota. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Isoflavones). 0 (NF-kappa B). 0 (Plant Extracts). 0 (Toll-Like Receptor 4). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3390%2fmolecules24061139 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Luo&issn=1420-3049&title=Molecules&atitle=Improvement+of+Colonic+Immune+Function+with+Soy+Isoflavones+in+High-Fat+Diet-Induced+Obese+Rats.&volume=24&issue=6&spage=1139&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.3390%2Fmolecules24061139&pmid=30909396&sid=OVID:medline + +<1546> +Unique Identifier + 29965796 +Title + Circadian period of luciferase expression shortens with age in human mature adipocytes from obese patients. +Source + FASEB Journal. 33(1):175-180, 2019 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kolbe I; Carrasco-Benso MP; Lopez-Minguez J; Lujan J; Scheer FAJL; Oster H; Garaulet M +Authors Full Name + Kolbe, Isa; Carrasco-Benso, Maria Paz; Lopez-Minguez, Jesus; Lujan, Juan; Scheer, Frank A J L; Oster, Henrik; Garaulet, Marta. +Institution + Kolbe, Isa.

An unresolved question is to what extent such age-related alterations in circadian organization are driven by the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), modifying timing signals to contributing peripheral tissue oscillators, and are mediated by underlying changes in the local cellular oscillators themselves. Using a bioluminescence reporter approach, we sought to determine whether circadian clock function in human adipocytes from subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissues changes with age. SAT and VAT biopsies were obtained from obese individuals during gastric bypass surgeries [ n = 16; body mass index: 44.8 +/- 11.4 kg/m2; age: 44 +/- 9 yr (range: 30-58)]. Cells were isolated and transduced with a lentiviral circadian reporter construct [brain and muscle aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like:luciferase ( BMAL:LUC)], and bioluminescence was recorded over a period of 3 d. Human BMAL1:LUC adipocytes displayed a robust luminescence rhythm with comparable within-individual periods in mature and preadipocytes ( P > 0.05). With increasing age, the circadian period decreased in mature adipocytes ( P = 0.005) (beta = 4 min/yr; P < 0.05). Our ex vivo approach indicated that ageing changes the organization of endogenous circadian oscillators in human adipocytes, independent of SCN signaling.-Kolbe, I., Carrasco-Benso, M.

In previous studies, hsCRP was significantly associated with BMI. Thus, we integrated hsCRP and BMI to assess the predictive value in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). + + METHODS AND RESULTS: In this observational cohort study, 478 patients with ACS were enrolled in Fuwai Hospital from 2010 to 2011,with a mean follow-up of 4.2 years. The endpoint of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, revascularization again, heart failure, or stroke. Compared with patients without MACE, we found that patients with MACE had higher hsCRP (3.86 +/- 3.66 vs. 3.00 +/- 3.17, P = 0.033). Furthermore, we identified that hsCRP was significantly correlated with BMI (r = 0.134, P = 0.005). Thus, hsCRP level was adjusted by BMI to further clarify its role in the prognosis of patients with ACS. According to the tertiles of hsCRP/BMI ratio, the rates of MACE in the lowest tertile group, the median tertile group, and the highest tertile group were 14.0% (21/150), 14.0% (21/150), and 26% (39/150) (P = 0.008), respectively. In multivariate analysis, hsCRP/BMI was independently and positively related to MACE. Similarly, according to risk category of hsCRP (low hsCRP group < 3.0 mg/l, high hsCRP group >= 3.0 mg/l) and BMI (< 24 and >= 24.0 kg/m), patients in the high hsCRP but normal or low weight group had the lowest MACE-free survival (log-rank P = 0.003) compared with other groups. + + CONCLUSION: We confirmed that C-reactive protein level should be adjusted by BMI to reflect the prognosis of patients with ACS. High hsCRP/BMI ratio was associated with adverse outcomes. Patients with ACS with high hsCRP plus overweight had the same risk for MACE as those with lower hsCRP but normal weight. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, their temporal sequences and influence on hypertension are generally unknown, especially in Chinese adults. Recently, some scholars have proposed that triglycerides-glucose index (TyG) is an important indicator of insulin resistance. The study aims to describe the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and TyG index and its impact on hypertension. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 4081 adults (56.33% women) without antihypertensive, hypoglycemic or lipid-lowering medications were selected for the present study. Measurements of BMI and TyG index were obtained twice from 2012 to 2017. Cross-lagged panel analysis was used to describe the temporal sequences between BMI and TyG index, and the effect of their temporal relationship patterns on hypertension was explored through mediation analysis. After adjusting for confounding factors (age, sex, ethnicity et al.), the cross-lagged path coefficient from baseline BMI to follow-up TyG (rho2 = 0.135, P < 0.001) was significantly greater than the path coefficient from baseline TyG to follow-up BMI (rho1 = 0.043, P < 0.001), and P < 0.001 for the difference between rho1 and rho2. Furthermore, the sensitivity analyses between women and men revealed identical findings. In addition, TyG index mediation effect on BMI-hypertension was estimated to be 38.45% (P < 0.001) in total population, 25.24% in women and 57.35% in men. + + CONCLUSION: These results provided evidence that the temporal relationship between BMI and insulin resistance is reciprocal and a higher BMI precedes hyperinsulinemia in Chinese adults. This relationship plays an essential role in the development of hypertension, while there is a difference between women and men.

Anthropometric parameters were evaluated, and a complete biochemical analysis including circulating serum succinate concentrations was performed at baseline and 1 year after surgery. The results were externally validated in a second cohort including 88 obese patients with diabetes assigned to RYGB or SG based on clinical criteria. + + RESULTS: Succinate baseline concentrations were an independent predictor of diabetes remission after bariatric surgery. Patients achieving remission after 1 year had lower levels of baseline succinate (47.8 [37.6-64.6] micromol/L vs. 64.1 [52.5-82.9] micromol/L; P = 0.018). Moreover, succinate concentrations were significantly decreased 1 year after surgery (58.9 [46.4-82.4] micromol/L vs. 46.0 [35.8-65.3] micromol/L, P = 0.005). In multivariate analysis, the best logistic regression model showed that baseline succinate (odds ratio [OR] 11.3, P = 0.031) and the type of surgery (OR 26.4, P = 0.010) were independently associated with remission. The C-statistic for this model was 0.899 (95% CI 0.809-0.989) in the derivation cohort, which significantly improved the prediction of remission compared with current available scores, and 0.729 (95% CI 0.612-0.846) in the validation cohort. Interestingly, patients had a different response to the type of surgery according to baseline succinate, with significant differences in remission rates. + + CONCLUSIONS: Circulating succinate is reduced after bariatric surgery. Baseline succinate levels have predictive value for diabetes remission independently of previously described presurgical factors and improve upon the current available scores to predict remission.

To identify protein biomarkers for the possible differential effect of n-3FA on BD between obese and nonobese women, an iTRAQ method was performed to analyze plasma from obese and lean women at each time point (baseline, 12 and 24-months, n = 10 per group); 173 proteins with >95% confidence (Unuses Score >1.3 and local false discovery rate estimation <5%) were identified. Comparative analysis between various groups identified several differentially expressed proteins (hemopexin precursor, vitamin D binding protein isoform 1 precursor [VDBP], fibronectin isoform 10 precursor [FN], and alpha-2 macroglobulin precursor [A2M]). Western blot analysis was performed to verify the differential expression of proteins in the iTRAQ study, and those found to be altered in a tumor protective fashion by an n-3FA rich diet in our previous preclinical study; gelsolin, VDBP, and FN were altered by n-3FA in a manner consistent with reduction in inflammation in obese women. To test the impact of our findings on breast cancer risk reduction by n-3FA, a posthoc analysis revealed that n-3FA administration reduced BD selectively in obese postmenopausal women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (A2M protein, human). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Drug Combinations). 0 (Fatty Acids, Omega-3). 0 (Fibronectins). 0 (GC protein, human). 0 (Vitamin D-Binding Protein). 0 (alpha-Macroglobulins). 25167-62-8 (Docosahexaenoic Acids). 9013-71-2 (Hemopexin).

We aimed to determine the levels of visfatin, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in both obese/non-obese patients, with/without generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP). + + METHODOLOGY: Patients were categorized as obese (O) (n=31) or non-obese (nO) (n=19). Groups were divided into four subgroups according to periodontal conditions: (1) periodontally healthy without obesity (nO-Ctrl); (2) GCP without obesity (nO-CP); (3) periodontally healthy with obesity (O-Ctrl); and (4) GCP with obesity (O-CP). Demographic variables, anthropometric and laboratory data were recorded. Periodontal parameters were measured at baseline and 3rd months after either non-surgical periodontal treatment or calorie -restricted diet therapy. At the same time, GCF samples were taken from patients to analyze TNF-alpha, IL-6,and visfatin levels. + + RESULTS: Periodontal parameters were significantly higher in the O group than in the nO group (P<0.05). IL-6 levels were higher in the O group than in the nO group (P<0.001). The visfatin levels of the obese patients were reduceddecreased following the treatments (P<0.05). Cholesterol levels were higher in the O group than in the nO groups (P<0.05). IL-6 levels were higher in O-CP and O-Ctrl groups than in the nO-Ctrl group (P<0.05). Compared to the other groups, visfatin levels were significantly higher in the O-CP group but decreased following treatment (P<0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that visfatin and IL-6 levels in GCF are associated with the pathogenesis of obesity and periodontitis. Within the limits of this study, we considered that there might be an association between the lipid profile and periodontitis on systemically healthy individuals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha).

Among extra-skeletal effects, an important role in inflammation has been described for vitamin D (25(OH)D). Phase angle (PhA) is a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameter that represents an indicator of cellular health in chronic inflammatory states. However, it is still unknown whether a low 25(OH)D levels might correlate with PhA in obesity. Considering the lack of evidence correlating the 25(OH)D levels with PhA in obesity, the aim of this study was to investigate their possible relationship in a group of patients with obesity stratified according to body mass index (BMI) categories. Four hundred and fifty-five adult subjects (219 males and 236 females; 36 +/- 11 years) were enrolled. Body composition, including PhA, was assessed using a BIA phase-sensitive system. Serum levels of 25(OH)D was determined by a direct competitive chemiluminescence immunoassay. Most of the participants were affected by grade III obesity (24%) and had 25(OH)D deficiency (67%). Subjects with 25(OH)D deficiency had highest BMI (p < 0.001). Stratifying the sample population according to the BMI classes, 25(OH)D levels decreased significantly along with the increase in BMI (p < 0.001), with the lowest 25(OH)D levels in the class III obesity. In addition, stratifying the sample population according to 25(OH)D categories, BMI and fat mass (FM) decreased, while PhA increased significantly along with the 25(OH)D categories (p < 0.001). The 25(OH)D levels showed significant positive associations with PhA (r = -0.59, p < 0.001), and this association remained significant also after adjusting for BMI and FM (r = 0.60, p < 0.001). The lowest values of PhA were significantly associated with the severity of obesity (OR 0.3, p < 0.001) and of 25(OH)D deficiency (OR 0.2, p < 0.001). To compare the relative predictive power of body composition parameters associated with the 25(OH)D levels, we performed a multiple linear regression analysis. The most sensitive and specific cut-off for 25(OH)D levels to predict the PhA above the median was >14 ng/mL (p < 0.001). In conclusion, we provided preliminary insights into a novel link between 25(OH)D levels and PhA in the setting of obesity. This association uncovered a new potential usefulness of PhA as expression of cell membrane integrity and predictor of inflammation in low 25(OH)D status that might help in identifying high-risk patients with obesity who could benefit from careful 25(OH)D supplementation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D).

There is limited information about the association of plasma phospholipid fatty acids (FAs) with obesity and the MetS among black South Africans. + + OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of dietary FAs and plasma phospholipid FA patterns, respectively, with measures of adiposity (body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio) and the MetS in black South Africans. + + METHODS: Factor analysis was used to identify FA patterns from 11 dietary FAs and 26 individual plasma phospholipid FAs. Cross-sectional association of the identified patterns with measures of adiposity and the MetS was investigated. A random sample of 711 black South African adults aged 30 to 70 years (273 men, 438 women) from the North West Province was selected from the South African leg of the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study. Sequential regression models adjusted for confounders were applied to investigate the association between dietary FAs and plasma phospholipid FA patterns with measures of adiposity and the MetS. + + RESULTS: Two patterns were derived from dietary FAs and six patterns from plasma phospholipid FAs that explained the cumulative variance of 89 and 73%, respectively. The association of FA patterns with adiposity and the MetS was weaker for dietary FA patterns than for plasma phospholipid FA patterns. The plasma phospholipid FA pattern with high loadings of saturated FAs (high-Satfat) and another with high loadings of n-3 very-long-chain PUFAs (n-3 VLC-PUFAs) were positively associated with measures of adiposity and the MetS, while patterns with positive loadings of LC monounsaturated fatty acids (n-9 LC-MUFA) and a positive loading of n-3 essential FAs (n-3 EFA) showed inverse associations with the MetS and some measures of adiposity. + + CONCLUSION: The n-9 LC-MUFA and n-3 EFA patterns seemed to provide possible protective associations with adiposity and the MetS, whereas the high-Satfat and n-3 VLC-PUFA patterns were associated with adiposity and the MetS in our study participants. The results are reflective of the metabolic difference between overweight and obese compared to lean individuals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids). 0 (Phospholipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.5830%2fCVJA-2019-026 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ojwang&issn=1015-9657&title=Cardiovascular+Journal+of+Africa&atitle=Plasma+phospholipid+fatty+acid+patterns+are+associated+with+adiposity+and+the+metabolic+syndrome+in+black+South+Africans%3A+a+cross-sectional+study.&volume=30&issue=4&spage=228&epage=238&date=2019&doi=10.5830%2FCVJA-2019-026&pmid=31361296&sid=OVID:medline + +<1554> +Unique Identifier + 31358094 +Title + Effects of Recombinant Irisin on Body Mass Index, Serum Insulin, Luteinizing Hormone and Testosterone Levels in Obese Female BALB/c Mice. +Source + Jcpsp, Journal of the College of Physicians & Surgeons - Pakistan. 29(8):736-740, 2019 Aug. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Majeed S; Shafi R; Moin H; Ashraf I; Irshad K; Liaquat A +Authors Full Name + Majeed, Sadaf; Shafi, Riffat; Moin, Hira; Ashraf, Ifra; Irshad, Khurram; Liaquat, Afrose. +Institution + Majeed, Sadaf.

Group A which was the control group was fed with normal chow diet. Group B and Group C were fed with high fat-high sucrose (HF-HS) diet for five weeks to induce obesity. After four weeks group C was divided into two subgroups. Group C-low dose (LD) was injected with low dose irisin and group C-High dose (HD) was injected with high dose irisin for one week. After five weeks, the BMI, serum insulin, LH and testosterone levels were measured in all the groups. Data was analysed by SPSS version 21. P-value of <0.05 was considered significant. + + RESULTS: Group B showed statistically significant elevation in BMI, serum insulin, LH and testosterone levels as compared to Group A (p <0.001, <0.001, 0.007 and 0.014, respectively). Group C-HD showed statistically significant decrease in BMI, serum insulin, and LH as compared to Group B (p <0.001, 0.013 and 0.028, respectively). Serum testosterone level was also decreased in group C-HD as compared to Group B, however the difference was not significant. + + CONCLUSION: Obesity increases the serum insulin, LH and testosterone and irisin significantly lowers the elevated BMI, serum insulin and LH levels in female BALB/c mice. It also lowers the elevated testosterone levels, but not significantly. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (FNDC5 protein, mouse). 0 (Fibronectins). 0 (Insulin). 3XMK78S47O (Testosterone). 9002-67-9 (Luteinizing Hormone). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.29271%2fjcpsp.2019.08.736 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Majeed&issn=1022-386X&title=Jcpsp%2C+Journal+of+the+College+of+Physicians+%26+Surgeons+-+Pakistan&atitle=Effects+of+Recombinant+Irisin+on+Body+Mass+Index%2C+Serum+Insulin%2C+Luteinizing+Hormone+and+Testosterone+Levels+in+Obese+Female+BALB%2Fc+Mice.&volume=29&issue=8&spage=736&epage=740&date=2019&doi=10.29271%2Fjcpsp.2019.08.736&pmid=31358094&sid=OVID:medline + +<1555> +Unique Identifier + 31354986 +Title + Correlations between Traditional and Nontraditional Indicators of Adiposity, Inflammation, and Monocyte Subtypes in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease. +Source + Journal of Obesity. 2019:3139278, 2019. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Garofallo SB; Portal VL; Markoski MM; Dias LD; de Quadrosa AS; Marcadenti A +Author NameID + Markoski, Melissa Medeiros; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2982-5850 + Dias, Lucinara Dadda; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2490-0412 + Marcadenti, Aline; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1994-4610 +Authors Full Name + Garofallo, Silvia Bueno; Portal, Vera Lucia; Markoski, Melissa Medeiros; Dias, Lucinara Dadda; de Quadrosa, Alexandre Schaan; Marcadenti, Aline. +Institution + Garofallo, Silvia Bueno.

Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation among indicators of adiposity, monocyte subtypes, and inflammatory markers in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). + + Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including 97 patients with stable CAD aged >40 years. Traditional anthropometric indicators of adiposity (body mass index (BMI); waist, hip, and neck circumferences; and waist-hip ratio) and nontraditional anthropometric indicators of adiposity (lipid accumulation product index (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and deep-abdominal-adipose-tissue index (DAAT)) were determined. Immunoprecipitation, turbidimetry, coagulometric method, and CBA were used for the evaluation of inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, and INF-gamma). Monocyte subtypes were identified by flow cytometry and defined as CD14++ CD16- (Mon1), CD14++ CD16+ (Mon2), and CD14+ CD16++ (Mon3). Pearson's correlation coefficient and adjusted partial correlation were calculated. + + Results: Monocyte subtypes were correlated with inflammation regardless of nutritional status according to BMI. In overweight individuals, LAP was correlated with IL-4 and fibrinogen (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively) and VAI with IL-4 (P < 0.05). In obese patients, the BMI, waist, neck, and hip circumferences, and DAAT were correlated with IL-6 (P < 0.05), regardless of age and sex. The hip circumference was correlated positively with Mon1 (r = 0.40, P = 0.007) and negatively with Mon3 (r = -0.35, P = 0.02) in obese subjects. + + Conclusion: Monocyte subtypes are correlated with inflammation in patients with stable CAD independently of BMI, whereas traditional and nontraditional indicators of adiposity are correlated differently with inflammatory markers and monocytes, according to the nutritional status. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We aimed to evaluate whether a tool developed for community use to identify adolescents at high lifetime risk of developing T2DM agreed with a risk assessment conducted by a clinician using data collected from five European countries. We also assessed whether the tool could be simplified. + + METHODS: To evaluate the tool we collected data from 636 adolescents aged 12-14 years from five European countries. Each participant's data were then assessed by two clinicians independently, who judged each participant to be at either low or high risk of developing T2DM in their lifetime. This was used as the gold standard to which the tool was evaluated and refined. + + RESULTS: The refined tool categorised adolescents at high risk if they were overweight/obese and had at least one other risk factor (High waist circumference, family history of diabetes, parental obesity, not breast fed, high sugar intake, high screen time, low physical activity and low fruit and vegetable intake). Of those found to be at high risk by the clinicians, 93% were also deemed high risk by the tool. The specificity shows that 67% of those deemed at low risk by the clinicians were also found to be a low risk by the tool. + + CONCLUSIONS: We have evaluated a tool for identifying adolescents with risk factors associated with the development of T2DM in the future. Future work to externally validate the tool using prospective data including T2DM incidence is required. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Phase I studies were conducted in healthy and obese subjects to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, and tolerability of oral CXA-10 after single and multiple doses in the fed and fasted states that would confirm the mechanisms of action of CXA-10. After single and multiple ascending doses, CXA-10 demonstrated dose-proportional increases in plasma exposure. CXA-10 decreased levels of biomarkers associated with altered inflammation and metabolic stress observed from nonclinical studies. In CXA-10-202, a consistent decrease from baseline was observed with CXA-10 150 mg dose, but not 25 or 450 mg doses, for biomarkers of altered inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, including leptin, triglycerides, cholesterol, MCP-1, and IL-6. In CXA-10-203, after coadministration with CXA-10, geometric mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax ) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time point 0 to the end of the dosing interval (AUC0-t ) decreased 20% and 25% for pravastatin, increased 10% and 25% for simvastatin, and decreased 20% and 5% for ezetimibe. These findings are consistent with the pharmacological effects of CXA-10. Adverse events (AEs) were dose-related, and the most frequently reported AEs (>10% of subjects) were diarrhea, abdominal pain, and nausea. CXA-10 was safe and well-tolerated with no clinically significant abnormalities reported on physical examination, vital signs, clinical laboratory evaluations, or electrocardiographic evaluation. Phase II studies are underway in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and pulmonary arterial hypertension to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of CXA-10 75-300 mg once daily.

Our exposures of interest were body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio, and plasma adiponectin levels. Our outcomes of interest were total cerebral volume (TCV), cortical thickness, white matter hyperintensity volume (WMHV), and subclinical brain infarcts (SBI). Using multivariable linear and logistic regression models adjusted for sociodemographics, health behaviors, and vascular risk factors, we estimated beta coefficients (or odds ratios) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and tested interactions with age, sex, and race/ethnicity. + + RESULTS: On average at baseline, participants were aged 64 years and had 10 years of education; 60% were women and 66% were Caribbean Hispanic. The mean (SD) time lag between baseline and MRI was 6 (3) years. Greater BMI and WC were significantly associated with thinner cortices (BMI beta [95% CI] -0.089 [-0.153, -0.025], WC beta [95% CI] -0.103 [-0.169, -0.037]) in fully adjusted models. Similarly, compared to those with BMI <25, obese participants (BMI >=30) exhibited smaller cortical thickness (beta [95% CI] -0.207 [-0.374, -0.041]). These associations were particularly evident for those aged <65 years. Similar but weaker associations were observed for TCV. Most associations with WMHV and SBI did not reach statistical significance. + + CONCLUSIONS: Adiposity in early-old age is related to reduced global gray matter later in life in this diverse sample. Future studies are warranted to elucidate causal relationships and explore region-specific associations.

The main objective of this study is to provide new thoughts in designing functional food with some lipid/glucose metabolism regulating effects for obese people. (2) Methods: The alleviating abilities of gamma-oryzanol, phytosterol or ferulic acid-enriched wheat flour on lipid/glucose metabolic dysfunction were evaluated in male SD rats induced by a high-fat-fructose diet. The underlying mechanisms were clarified using western blot. (3) Results: In an in vitro cell model, gamma-oryzanol, phytosterol and ferulic acid regulate lipid/glucose metabolism by increasing the phosphorylation of AMPK and Akt, and PI3K expression, as well as decreasing expressions of DGAT1 and SCD. The in vivo study shows that ferulic acid and gamma-oryzanol-enriched flours are beneficial for managing body weight, improving glucose metabolism, hyperlipidemia and hepatic lipid accumulation. Phytosterol-enriched flour exerted remarkable effects in regulating hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance and hyperuricemia. Western blot analysis of proteins from liver samples reveals that these enriched flours alleviated hepatic lipid accumulation and insulin resistance through their elevation in the phosphorylation of AMPK and Akt. (4) Conclusions: Our study indicates that these enriched flours can serve as a health-promoting functional food to regulate obesity-related lipid/glucose metabolic dysfunction in rats. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Coumaric Acids). 0 (Dietary Sugars). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Phenylpropionates). 0 (Phytosterols). 30237-26-4 (Fructose).

We also examined risk factors (age, sex, weight, fasting and 2 h glucose, fasting insulin, blood pressure, serum lipids) for early retinal changes. The study included 522 individuals (mean 55 years old, range 40-64 years) with impaired glucose tolerance who were randomized into intervention (weight loss, healthy diet, and physical activity, N = 265) and control groups (N = 257). Intervention lasted for median of four years in 1993-2000, after which annual follow-up visits at study clinics were conducted. In the years 2002-2006 (at least five years after stopping intervention), fundus photography was offered for all study participants in four of five study clinics. Photographs were assessed by two experienced ophthalmologists (A.A. and K.K.), masked for the group assignment. After exclusion of poor quality photographs, the data of 211 individuals (N = 113 for intervention and N = 98 for control group) were included in the present study. The occurrence of microaneurysms was significantly higher in the control (37/98, 38%) than in the intervention group (27/113, 24%; p = 0.029). In the model, including age, sex, diabetes diagnosis before the retinal assessment, body mass index (BMI), and treatment group, the odds ratio for microaneurysms was markedly lower in intervention group (OR 0.52; 0.28-0.97, p = 0.039). The only risk factor that predicted the occurrence of microaneurysms was serum triglycerides at baseline (mean +/- SD 1.9 +/- 0.9 vs. 1.6 +/- 0.7, mmol/L, with and without microaneurysms, respectively, p = 0.003). Triglycerides associated with decreased microaneurysms in regression analysis for age, sex, fasting glucose, and intervention group (OR 1.92, p = 0.018). Lifestyle intervention in overweight and obese individuals with impaired glucose tolerance showed decreased occurrence of retinal microaneurysms. Elevated serum triglycerides were associated to the development of early diabetic microangiopathy. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Adipose tissue dysfunction, impaired adipokine activity, and inflammation are central to metabolic diseases related to obesity. In particular, the excess storage of lipids in adipose tissues disturbs cellular homeostasis. Amongst others, organelle function and cell signaling, often related to the altered composition of specialized membrane microdomains (lipid rafts), are affected. Within this context, the conserved family of annexins are well known to associate with membranes in a calcium (Ca2+)- and phospholipid-dependent manner in order to regulate membrane-related events, such as trafficking in endo- and exocytosis and membrane microdomain organization. These multiple activities of annexins are facilitated through their diverse interactions with a plethora of lipids and proteins, often in different cellular locations and with consequences for the activity of receptors, transporters, metabolic enzymes, and signaling complexes. While increasing evidence points at the function of annexins in lipid homeostasis and cell metabolism in various cells and organs, their role in adipose tissue, obesity and related metabolic diseases is still not well understood. Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is a potent pro-resolving mediator affecting the regulation of body weight and metabolic health. Relevant for glucose metabolism and fatty acid uptake in adipose tissue, several studies suggest AnxA2 to contribute to coordinate glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) translocation and to associate with the fatty acid transporter CD36. On the other hand, AnxA6 has been linked to the control of adipocyte lipolysis and adiponectin release. In addition, several other annexins are expressed in fat tissues, yet their roles in adipocytes are less well examined. The current review article summarizes studies on the expression of annexins in adipocytes and in obesity. Research efforts investigating the potential role of annexins in fat tissue relevant to health and metabolic disease are discussed. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Annexins). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin).

In addition, other tools such as transient elastography are limited to specialized research centers. To assess the usefulness of CK-18 as a non-invasive biomarker for detecting therapeutic responses in patients with liver fibrosis. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty overweight and obese patients with liver fibrosis were evaluated by a dietitian and given a weight-reducing diet with a calorie deficit of 500-1000kcal/day over a 6-month period. Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) both were performed at the beginning and at the end of the trial to determine liver steatosis and liver fibrosis, respectively. Serum CK-18 levels were measured by enzyme linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) at baseline and at 3 and 6 months after intervention. + + RESULTS: Patients experienced a rapid weight loss of -7.6kg (8.5%) during the trial. Among all participants, liver steatosis decreased from 76.5+/-12.2% to 51.8+/-24.4% (baseline to end-point) (p<0.001) and fibrosis score decreased from 9.9+/-3.7 to 7.2+/-2.4 (p<0.001) (a 27.2% decrease). Serum CK-18 levels decreased from 290.2+/-98.1 U/L to 217.6+/-64.8 U/L (p<0.001) (a 25.0% decrease). DELTACK-18 was found to be significantly associated with delta fibrosis score (r=0.25, p=0.05) CONCLUSIONS: This trial showed a significant positive association between changes in CK-18 levels and changes in liver fibrosis over a 6-month dietary intervention.

The objective of the present study was explored the relationship between serum calcium and phosphate levels with anthropometric and hematological markers. + + METHODS: 908 subjects were recruited from the Mashhad stroke and heart atherosclerosis disorder (MASHHAD) program. Anthropometric parameters, liver/kidney function tests (e.g., Urea nitrogen, creatinine, urea and uric acid, creatinine, AST, ALT) were determined in all participants. Serum concentrations of calcium and phosphate were measured using Autoanalyzer BT3000P (Pars Azmoon kit, Tehran, Iran). SPSS software was used for statistical analyses. + + RESULTS: We observed that obese subjects had a lower level of serum calcium (p<0.05). Moreover, a relationship was detected between serum phosphate level and different menopausal status (p<0.05). Serum calcium and phosphate did not change by increasing age in the population. Additionally, there was a correlation between lymphocyte count with serum phosphate level (p<0.05). No statistically different were detected for the levels of calcium/phosphate with respect to smoking status, physical activity, lipid profile, liver and renal function markers. + + CONCLUSION: We found an association between serum calcium and BMI as well as with serum phosphate and menopausal status.

This study aimed to find the levels of the serum malondialdehyde (MDA), non-enzymatic antioxidants (vitamin A, C and E), trace elements (zinc and iron) and macro-minerals (calcium, potassium and sodium) in obesity and its action in disease advancement. + + METHODS: Level of lipid peroxidation was estimated by measurement of the serum concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA). Vitamin A and E concentration was found by RP-HPLC method and vitamin C was assessed for serum ascorbic acid by UV spectrophotometric method. Serum trace elements (Zn and Fe) and macro-minerals (Na, K and Ca) were estimated by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). + + RESULTS: Our study observed significantly elevated concentrations of MDA (p<0.001) and depleted concentrations of antioxidants (vitamin A, E and C) (p<0.05) in the patient than control group. Analysis of serum trace elements (Zn and Fe) and macro-minerals (Na, K and Ca) and found that the mean values of Zn, Fe, Na, K and Ca were 0.39+/-0.02 and 0.43+/-0.03, 3284.81+/-34.51, 162.18+/-3.72, 44.62+/-2.13mg/L for the patient and 0.91+/-0.13, 0.88+/-0.06, 2562.74+/-95.92, 243.58+/-8.97, 87.66+/-2.10mg/L for the controls, consequently. There was a substantial difference in trace elements and macro-minerals between the patients and controls (p<0.001). + + CONCLUSION: Our study proposes that increased serum concentrations of MDA and decreased non-enzymatic antioxidant and altered trace elements and macro-minerals are powerfully related with obesity.

Information about demographics, anthropometric, nutritional habitude, smoking history, medical history and physical activity were recorded. Liver ultrasound examination and routine biochemistry analysis were performed. + + RESULTS: Among 333 patients with one of the four above-mentioned diseases. 199 patients (59.8%) had NAFLD. Male were more likely to have NAFLD than female (72.8% vs. 50.8% respectively, P<0.001). About, 80.7% of patients through 41-50 years age had NAFLD. The frequency of abnormal fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), triglyceride, and total cholesterol were significantly higher in patients with NAFLD (P<0.05). Subjects with NAFLD had a higher body mass index than non-NAFLD (33.6+/-7.9kg/m2 vs. 31.1+/-5.0kg/m2 respectively, P=0.002). Patients with DM, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hypothyroidism were more likely to have NAFLD (P<0.05). Patients with consumption of supper, high-fat diet, enjoy of eating and smoking were more likely to have NAFLD and patients with fruit and vegetable uptake and physical activity were less likely to have NAFLD (P<0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: As most patients with NAFLD are asymptomatic, employed individuals with higher education levels, with a history of smoking and unhealthy diet along with DM, hyperlipidemia, PCOS and obesity seriously have to be followed and educated for lifestyle modification.

A convenience sampling method of 350 participants participated in the study. + + RESULTS: The results revealed that the probability of having vitamin D Deficiency was higher among females (OR=2.06, p>.05); younger age-whereby with each one year decrease in age there was about 0.03 probability of having Vitamin D Deficiency (B=-0.03; p>.05); individuals with higher incomes (OR=1.44, p>.05); smokers (OR=0.08, p>.05); and a lack of exposure to the sun (OR=8.50; p>.05). In addition, exercise is also a predictor of Vitamin D deficiency (OR=3.8; p>.05). Moreover, less Vitamin D intake (OR 9.7; p>.05), less intake of Calcium (OR=12.2, p>.05); In addition increase one unit in the BMI, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and FBS increased the log odd of having liability of Vitamin D deficiency by 3.2; 1.9, 1.8, 1.0, and 2.4 (p>.05). + + CONCLUSION: Vitamin D Deficiency was prevalent in both males and females across different age groups in the citizens of Saudi. Because of the connection between Vitamin D Deficiency and main chronic disease, it is necessary to emphasize the need to recognize Vitamin D Deficiency screening for risk factors. It may be reasonable for the nutritionists, nurses, and physicians, to encourage the community on approaches to enhance dietary Vitamin D or suggest supplementation. Copyright © 2019 Diabetes India.

Biochemical variables were glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high, low, very low density lipoprotein and C-reactive protein (CRP). For the cost analysis the medical records was analyzed. Physical activity was assessed through questionnaire. Body adiposity was assessed by body mass index. Four groups were defined according body adiposity and physical activity. + + RESULTS: The active obese group had higher values of very low density lipoprotein and triglycerides when compared to the inactive obese. The non-obese inactive group had lower values of non-high density lipoprotein compared to the inactive obese. The non-obese active group presented lower insulin value when compared to the inactive obese. The inactive obese group presented higher values in the CRP when compared to the non-obese active and inactive groups when compared to non-obese and active obese group. There was a positive correlation between insulin, glucose, CRP and drug and total costs. + + CONCLUSIONS: Biochemical variables were different according to body composition and physical activity.

We aimed to assess the association between antioxidants and adipokines in obese adults. + + METHODS AND MATERIALS: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 160 obese women were included. Body composition and anthropometric characteristics were measured. Dietary intakes were assessed by 3-day, 24-h dietary recall. Blood samples were obtained following an overnight fasting. Serum concentrations of adipokines including progranulin, retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) and Angiopoietin-related growth factor 6 (ANGPTL6) was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. ANCOVA and the linear regression model analysis was performed to assess the relationship between Progranulin, RBP4, AnGPTL6, and antioxidants. + + RESULTS: Mean age of included women was 39.31+/-12.10. Mean and standard deviation for BMI was 35.05+/-4.26 in this obese population. There was a positive significant association between ANGPTL6 and vitamin D intake (p<0.001). Also, there was a marginal association between RBP4 and vitamin A (p=0.063) intake, but after adjustment age, and fat mass, we found a significant association (p=0.008). However, the associations between dietary antioxidants, progranulin, and ANGPTL6 were not statistically significant. + + CONCLUSIONS: ANGPTL6 and RBP4 levels directly associated with dietary vitamins D and A intake, respectively. But, according to the results, the association between ANGPTL6 and vitamin D was bidirectional. The suggested associations probably can be useful in the development of interventional studies for management of chronic diseases. Copyright © 2019 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

This study aimed at quantification of the impact of physical activity, hypertension, general obesity, central obesity, high cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, smoking, hookah, drug use, alcohol consumption on the incidence of type 2 diabetes at a population level in Yazd, Iran. And this study calculated population attributable risk (PAR) of them. + + METHODS: For this study, data from the first phase of the cohort study of chronic diseases in the adults of Yazd city were used, which began in 2016. Data was recorded through a cohort trained team. To calculate PAR and its the Bayesian confidence interval were performed using software R (version 3.4.3). + + RESULTS: Of the 9967 subjects studied, age >=30, 14.67% (n=1432) has type 2 diabetes. The most common risk factors for diabetes were Inadequate physical activity and central obesity (WHR). The PAR for Inadequate physical activity of diabetes in women was 17.92%, in men 18.53, And PAR for WHR in women was 57.62%, in men 43.03. + + CONCLUSIONS: In this study, age was the strongest determinant of diabetes. And then type 2 diabetes is mainly attributable to WHR, significantly more so in women than men. Therefore, central obesity probably should be considered as a major strategy for reducing incidence of type 2 diabetes. Copyright © 2019.

Abnormal plasma level of some trace elements may be associated with obesity. The present study was designed to compare the plasma level of zinc, phosphate, calcium and magnesium with the degree of body mass index and waist circumference. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this cross sectional study 149 persons (20-60 years old) from March 2014 till April 2017 were included. Definition of central obesity was waist circumference (WC)>= 102cm and >=88cm in men and women, respectively. Also BMI categorized to: normal weight: 18.50-24.99, overweight: 25.00-29.99 and obese: >=30kg/m2 respectively. Mg, Ca, P and Zinc in plasma was checked after12h fasting in each persons. Comparison between the level of Mg, P, Ca and Zinc by three categories of BMI or waist circumference performed. The data were analyzed by independent T-test and one-way ANOVA. Scheffe method was used to determine post-hoc pair-wise comparisons. The relationship between BMI and concentration of elements was detected by linear correlation and Cubic model. A p<=0.05 were considered statistically significant. Statistical analyses were executed by SPSS version 20. + + RESULTS: In this study, 32.2% male and remainder female, mean age of 42.26+/-13.03 were participated. 40.9% were normal and 59.1% obese base on waist circumference. Also 24.8% normal,44.3% overweight and remainder was obese according to BMI. Obese subjects base on waist circumference had significantly lower serum Zinc(pvalue:0.002), Ca (pvalue:0.0001)and Mg(pvalue:0.042) concentration. Whereas, P concentration was significantly higher in obese cases in comparison with normal subjects(pvalue:0.012). Also normal cases had significantly higher serum Zinc (pvalue: 0.0001), Ca (pvalue:0.0001), and Mg(pvalue:0.006) concentration compared to overweight and obese subjects according to BMI categorizes. + + CONCLUSION: Inverse correlation present between plasma zinc, calcium and magnesium level and BMI and waist circumference, but positive correlation seen between P level and waist circumference. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effect of dietary or supplemental interventions on obesity and central obesity. Copyright © 2019.

Different-strategies have been developed for body contouring including Radiofrequency(RF) and Ultrasound(US). The aim of this study was to investigate changes in serum-leptin as a potential-modulator of food/energy intake, in overweight-women receiving RF/US and diet-therapy as well as the effect of therapy on modulation of lipid-profile and body-fat-mass. + + METHODS: Fifty overweight-females were enrolled in current randomized-clinical-trial and randomly divided into two groups. The case group received RF/US twice a week for 5 weeks with a low calorie diet whilst the control-group received just a low calorie diet. Demographic, biochemical markers as well as serum-leptin were determined. + + RESULTS: The level of leptin was reduced from 1.29+/-0.32ng/ml to 1.14+/-0.34ng/ml in case group, before and after therapy, respectively, whilst no significant differences were observed in the serum leptin levels of subjects in the control group. The combination of RF and US decreased the leptin-level. In particular, the mean reduction of abdominal-circumference and waist-circumference was significant (P<0.05) after therapy. This reduction was inversely correlated with LDL levels. Weight was reduced in case and control groups and in both was significant, but no statistically significant differences were detected for weight between the groups(P<0.93). + + CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrated the reduction of the leptin after treatment with the combination of Radiofrequency/Ultrasound cavitation, which was associated with reduced body-fat-mass.

This present study was conducted to correlate the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of out-patient type 2 diabetic adults with their body mass index (BMI). + + METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Out-patients Diabetic clinic of University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu Nigeria. A total of 370 subjects were purposively selected from the 2888 annual average attendances and examined with questionnaire and anthropometry. Information on their demographic and socioeconomic characteristics was correlated with their body mass index. + + RESULT: The results indicated that there were more (59%) urban diabetics than rural (25.7%) diabetics, many (65.7%) were within the age range of 41-60years, more (64.9%) females than males (35.1%), mainly (86.2%) married and of Christian religion (94.1%) and Igbo ethnicity (95.9%). The majority (91.1%) were of a monogamous family type with 55.4% from average sized (4-6persons) families. More than 1/3 (34.1%) had tertiary education, mainly (43%) civil servants, and 45.1% earning above 137.21 US Dollar per month. Most (69%) of the diabetics were over-weight, a trend of both under-nutrition (1.1%), and over-nutrition (68.7%) with mean BMI value of 27.19kg/m2 was also observed. BMI had slight negative association with age, sex, and occupation and positive association with religion, ethnicity, marital status and level of education. + + CONCLUSION: There is a weak negative association of age, sex and occupation with BMI.

The aim of the study was to identify the risk factors associated with impaired glucose metabolism and the prevalence of impaired glucose metabolism among the adult population of district Srinagar. + + METHODS: Multi-stage cluster random sampling design was used and from each household, participants were selected using a Kish grid method. Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected. The participants were then subjected to fasting venous blood glucose estimation. + + RESULTS: Age, waist circumference, hip circumference, weight, and body mass index were all statistically significant between normoglycemic participants and those with impaired glucose metabolism (p<0.018). On logistic regression, subjects who had a higher BMI were more likely to develop Impaired glucose metabolism (OR=3.52, OR 95% CI=1.25-9.87); Moreover, consumption of carbonated drinks, (3-6 times/week OR=4.40, OR 95% CI=2.06-9.40; >6 times/week OR=11.04, OR 95% CI=0.86-140.66) was found to be a potential risk factor. Participants with a family history of diabetes were more susceptible to develop impaired glucose metabolism (OR=6.41, OR 95% CI=3.22-12.78). The risk effect of these factors was even stronger before adjusting for age, sex, family history of diabetes, and BMI in participants. + + CONCLUSION: Risk factors for impaired glucose metabolism include increasing age, obesity, and higher consumption of carbonated drinks, hypertension, smoking behavior, high-calorie diet intake and positive family history of diabetes.

We aimed to assess the association between obesity and micro/macroalbuminuria in hypertensive patients with a poor estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)<60mL/min/1.73m2. + + METHODS: One hundred old patients (median age 79 years+/-inter-quartile range 68-84.7) with manifested hypertension (systolic blood pressure>=130mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure>=85mmHg) and a permanently poor eGFR for a duration time more than 3 months were enclosed. Albuminuria was defined as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR)>=30 mg/gr and it was classified according to KDIGO 2012. The obesity was defined by a high body mass index (BMI>30kg/m2). The waist circumference, HDL-C, triglycerides and serum glucose were measured. Chi-square tests and an adjusted model were performed. + + RESULTS: Chi-square tests showed significant association between classified albuminuria and both obesity and high serum triglycerides (x2=7.2, p=0.02 and x2=8.3, p=0.01 respectively). However, the adjusted model for the prediction of albuminuria showed that the presence of a high BMI was a non-significant risk factor, although diabetes mellitus and eGFR value were found to be significant risk factors (p=0.03, OR=4.3, 1.2-22.07 and p=0.04, OR=0.9, 0.9-1.007 respectively) adjusting to covariates including the high waist circumference. + + CONCLUSION: Obesity defined by a high BMI was not found to be a significant risk factor for micro/macroalbuminuria in hypertensive patients with a poor estimated glomerular filtration rate, when diabetes mellitus and the low eGFR value act as confounders.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the link between serum pentosidine and sRAGE levels and vascular complications in patients with prediabetes compared to normal glucose tolerance controls with obesity. + + METHODS: In this study were included 76 patients with mean age 50.7+/-10.7 years, divided into two age and BMI-matched groups - group 1 with obesity without glycemic disturbances (n=38) and group 2 with obesity and prediabetes (n=38). + + RESULTS: There was no significant difference in pentosidine and sRAGE levels between patients with obesity and prediabetes. Patients with hypertension had lower levels of sRAGE compared to nonhypertensive subjects. sRAGE showed a weak negative correlation to blood glucose on 60th min of OGTT and HOMA index. There was no correlation between sRAGE and pentosidine levels and the markers of micro- and macrovascular complications. There was no difference in sRAGE and pentosidine levels between patients with and without endothelial dysfunction. + + CONCLUSIONS: sRAGE and pentosidine levels are similar in patients with obesity with and without prediabetes and do not correlate to the markers of micro- and macrovascular complications.

This study aims to assess the association of AD with obesity in the Korean population and verify its mechanism via a multi-omics analysis. + + METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A case-control study will be conducted in the Republic of Korea. A total of 80 subjects, aged 4 to 12 years, matched for age and sex, with body mass index at or above the 85th percentile or at or below the 25th percentile, will be included. Subjects will be assigned to the following 4 groups: obese/overweight with AD, normal/underweight with AD, obese/overweight control, and normal/underweight control. Serum metabolome and immune biomarkers, as well as fecal metabolome and microbiome biomarkers, will be analyzed. Serum eosinophil cationic protein, total serum Immunoglobulin E (IgE), and specific IgE will be analyzed to assess allergic tendency. The SCORing of AD index, the children's dermatology life quality index, body composition analysis, and the Korean gastrointestinal symptom rating scale will be obtained to assess the disease status and severity of the subjects. + + DISCUSSION: The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence of an association between AD and obesity via a gut microbiome-metabolome-immune mechanism.

Since maternal prepregnancy overweight or obesity (OWO) is a recognized major risk factor for offspring OWO, we hypothesized that maternal plasma acylcarnitines may play a role in inter-generational OWO. + + SUBJECTS/METHODS: This study included 1402 mother-child pairs (1043 term, 359 preterm) recruited at birth from 1998-2013 and followed prospectively up to age 18 years at the Boston Medical Center. The primary outcomes were child OWO defined as BMI >= 85th percentile for age and sex. The primary exposures were maternal prepregnancy OWO defined as BMI >= 25 kg/m2 and maternal acylcarnitine levels measured in plasma samples collected soon after delivery using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in a targeted manner. + + RESULTS: Approximately 40% of the children in this study were OWO by age 5. Maternal OWO had a significant association with childhood OWO, both in term and preterm births. beta-hydroxybutyryl-carnitine (C4-OH) levels were significantly and positively associated with child OWO among term births after adjustment for potential confounders and multiple-comparisons. Children born to OWO mothers in the top tertile C4-OH levels were at the highest risk of OWO: OR = 3.78 (95%CI: 2.47, 5.79) as compared with those born to non-OWO mothers in the lowest tertile (P for interaction of maternal OWO and C4-OH = 0.035). In a four-way decomposition of mediation/interaction analysis, we estimated that C4-OH levels explained about 27% (se = 0.08) of inter-generational OWO risk (P = 0.001). In contrast, these associations were not observed in preterm births. + + CONCLUSIONS: In this U.S. urban low-income birth cohort, we provide further evidence of the inter-generational link of OWO and reveal the differential role of C4-OH in explaining the inter-generational obesity between term and preterm births. Further investigations are warranted to better understand and prevent the inter-generational transmission of OWO. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (acylcarnitine).

The aim of the present study was to examine the associations between inflammatory biomarkers and a wide range of brain health indicators (i.e., academic performance, executive function, behavioural and emotional functioning, and brain volume) in children with overweight/obesity. + + METHODS: A total of 107 children (10.0+/-1.1years, 41% girls) from the ActiveBrains project were included in the analysis. Five inflammatory biomarkers were analysed in plasma: white blood cell (WBC) count, interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Academic performance was assessed by Woodcock-Munoz Tests of Achievement. Executive function was assessed through the Design Fluency Test for cognitive flexibility, the Stroop test for cognitive inhibition, and the Delayed Non-Match-to-Sample task for working memory. Behavioural and emotional functioning was evaluated through the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC) questionnaire. Total and regional brain volume was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. + + RESULTS: IL-6 was inversely associated with adaptive skills (beta=-0.228; p=0.030), while TNF-alpha was related to mathematics (beta=-0.198; p=0.034). In addition, CRP was positively associated with externalizing (beta=0.246; p=0.046) and internalizing problems (beta=0.234; p=0.039), as well as the behavioural symptoms index (beta=0.236; p=0.047). However, these significant associations disappeared after multiple comparisons correction. Inflammatory biomarkers were not associated with executive function and total brain volumes. Regarding regional brain analyses, WBC was positively associated with gray matter volume in the left middle temporal gyrus (beta=0.387; p<0.001, k=44), and CRP was positively associated with gray matter volume in the right superior temporal gyrus (beta=0.439; p<0.001, k=29). Additionally, when adjusting by total brain volume, CRP was positively associated with gray matter volume in the right supplementary motor cortex (beta=0.453; p<0.001, k=51). Moreover, both, IL-6 (beta=0.366; p<0.001, k=81) and TNF-alpha (beta=0.368; p<0.001, k=62) were positively associated with white matter volume around the right inferior frontal gyrus pars opercularis, while CRP was inversely associated with white matter volume around the left superior frontal gyrus (beta=-0.482; p<0.001, k=82). After adjusting by total brain volume, CRP was also inversely associated with white matter volume in 3 additional clusters (beta ranging from -0.473 to -0.404; p<0.001, k=87). + + CONCLUSIONS: Inflammation was slightly associated with brain health (i.e., academic performance, behavioural and emotional functioning and regional brain volume) in children with overweight or obesity. Further larger longitudinal and interventional studies are warranted to elucidate the short-term and long-term effect of systemic low-grade inflammation on children's brain health.

The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, liraglutide, reduces cardiovascular events by poorly understood mechanisms. We investigated the effect of liraglutide combined with metformin on LGI and lipoprotein density profiles in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and newly diagnosed T2DM. + + METHODS: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial over a 12 + 12-week period, with >=2-week wash-out. + + INTERVENTION: liraglutide/metformin vs. placebo/metformin. Lipoproteins were separated by continuous density gradient ultracentrifugation, and LDL divided into five subfractions between 226 and 270A, considering particle size <=255A as the atherogenic pattern. Plasma C-reactive protein and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were assessed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent-assay. + + RESULTS: 28 out of 41 randomized patients completed all visits. Intention-to-treat analysis was performed but one patient had statin dosage and was excluded from the analysis. 95% of the patients were on statin therapy. Overall, liraglutide did not affect lipid subfractions or markers of LGI compared to placebo. The combination of liraglutide and metformin reduced the total LDL subfractions, primarily by reducing the most atherogenic subfraction LDL5, and reduced CRP but not TNF-alpha. Explorative analyses suggested that the subfraction LDL5 during the wash-out period rebounded significantly at least in a per-protocol analysis of the sub-group of patients starting the liraglutide therapy. + + CONCLUSIONS: In patients with CAD and newly diagnosed T2DM on stable statin therapy, liraglutide combined with metformin may improve the atherogenic LDL lipid profile and CRP.

Evidence has shown a strong association between hypovitaminosis D and cardio-metabolic diseases, including obesity. A ketogenic diet has proven to be very effective for weight loss, especially in reducing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a ketogenic diet-induced weight loss on vitamin D status in a population of obese adults. We enrolled 56 obese outpatients, prescribed with either traditional standard hypocaloric Mediterranean diet (SHMD) or very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD). Serum 25(OH)D concentrations were measured by chemiluminescence. The mean value of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations in the whole population at baseline was 17.8 +/- 5.6 ng/mL, without differences between groups. After 12 months of dietetic treatment, in VLCKD patients serum 25(OH)D concentrations increased from 18.4 +/- 5.9 to 29.3 +/- 6.8 ng/mL (p < 0.0001), vs 17.5 +/- 6.1 to 21.3 +/- 7.6 ng/mL (p = 0.067) in the SHMD group (for each kilogram of weight loss, 25(OH)D concentration increased 0.39 and 0.13 ng/mL in the VLCKD and in the SHMD groups, respectively). In the VLCKD group, the increase in serum 25(OH)D concentrations was strongly associated with body mass index, waist circumference, and fatty mass variation. In a multiple regression analysis, fatty mass was the strongest independent predictor of serum 25(OH)D concentration, explaining 15.6%, 3.3%, and 9.4% of its variation in the whole population, in SHMD, and VLCKD groups, respectively. We also observed a greater reduction of inflammation (evaluated by high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) values) and a greater improvement in glucose homeostasis, confirmed by a reduction of HOMA values, in the VLCKD versus the SHMD group. Taken together, all these data suggest that a dietetic regimen, which implies a great reduction of fat mass, can improve vitamin D status in the obese. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3390%2fmolecules24132499 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Perticone&issn=1420-3049&title=Molecules&atitle=Ketogenic+Diet-Induced+Weight+Loss+is+Associated+with+an+Increase+in+Vitamin+D+Levels+in+Obese+Adults.&volume=24&issue=13&spage=2499&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.3390%2Fmolecules24132499&pmid=31323907&sid=OVID:medline + +<1583> +Unique Identifier + 31323006 +Title + Association of the 3'UTR polymorphism (rs11665896) in the FGF21 gene with metabolic status and nutrient intake in children with obesity. +Source + Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism. 32(9):921-928, 2019 Sep 25. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ruiz-Padilla AJ; Morales-Hernandez G; Ruiz-Noa Y; Alonso-Castro AJ; Lazo-de-la-Vega-Monroy ML; Preciado-Puga MDC; Rangel-Salazar R; Ibarra-Reynoso LDR +Authors Full Name + Ruiz-Padilla, Alan Joel; Morales-Hernandez, Gerardo; Ruiz-Noa, Yeniley; Alonso-Castro, Angel Josabad; Lazo-de-la-Vega-Monroy, Maria Luisa; Preciado-Puga, Monica Del Carmen; Rangel-Salazar, Ruben; Ibarra-Reynoso, Lorena Del Rocio. +Institution + Ruiz-Padilla, Alan Joel.

However, the role of FGF21 in macronutrient intake and metabolic disease, particularly in pediatric population, still needs further clarification. This study aimed to evaluate the association of rs11665896 in the FGF21 gene with metabolic status and macronutrient intake in a cohort of Mexican children with obesity. Methods Eighty-four lean children and 113 children with obesity, from 8 to 11 years of age, were recruited. FGF21 rs11665896 was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Somatometric evaluations, nutrient intake, glucose, lipids, insulin and FGF21 serum levels were measured in the obesity group. Results The T allele of rs11665896 in the FGF21 gene was associated with obesity (odds ratio [OR] = 1.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.14-3.46; p = 0.0151). Subjects with obesity carrying the TT genotype consumed less lipids and more carbohydrates compared to other genotypes. Circulating FGF21 levels correlated negatively with carbohydrate intake (r = -0.232, p = 0.022) and positively with body weight (r = 0.269, p = 0.007), waist (r = 0.242, p = 0.016) and hip girth (r = 0.204, p = 0.042). FGF21 levels were lower in carriers of at least one T allele. Conclusions Genetic variants in FGF21 could influence metabolic status, food preferences and qualitative changes in nutritional behavior in children. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (3' Untranslated Regions). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). 0 (fibroblast growth factor 21). 62031-54-3 (Fibroblast Growth Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1515%2fjpem-2018-0546 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ruiz-Padilla&issn=0334-018X&title=Journal+of+Pediatric+Endocrinology+%26+Metabolism&atitle=Association+of+the+3%27UTR+polymorphism+%28rs11665896%29+in+the+FGF21+gene+with+metabolic+status+and+nutrient+intake+in+children+with+obesity.&volume=32&issue=9&spage=921&epage=928&date=2019&doi=10.1515%2Fjpem-2018-0546&pmid=31323006&sid=OVID:medline + +<1584> +Unique Identifier + 31317460 +Title + Apneic Oxygenation During Prolonged Laryngoscopy in Obese Patients: a Randomized, Double-Blinded, Controlled Trial of Nasal Cannula Oxygen Administration. +Source + Obesity Surgery. 29(12):3992-3999, 2019 12. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Moon TS; Tai K; Kim A; Gonzales MX; Lu R; Pak T; Smith K; Chen JL; Minhajuddin AT; Nnamani N; Fox PE; Ogunnaike B +Author NameID + Moon, Tiffany S; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7052-5169 +Authors Full Name + Moon, Tiffany S; Tai, Katie; Kim, Agnes; Gonzales, Michael X; Lu, Rachael; Pak, Taylor; Smith, Katelynn; Chen, Joy L; Minhajuddin, Abu T; Nnamani, Nwamaka; Fox, Pamela E; Ogunnaike, Babatunde. +Institution + Moon, Tiffany S.

Apneic oxygenation can provide supplemental oxygen to the alveoli, even in the absence of ventilation, during attempts to secure the airway. In this study, we hypothesized that oxygen administration through a nasopharyngeal airway and standard nasal cannula during a simulated prolonged laryngoscopy would significantly prolong the safe apneic duration in obese patients. + + METHODS: One hundred thirty-five obese patients undergoing non-emergent surgery requiring general anesthesia were randomized to either the control group or to receive apneic oxygenation with air versus oxygen. All patients underwent a standard intravenous induction. For patients randomized to receive apneic oxygenation, a nasopharyngeal airway and standard nasal cannula were inserted. A simulated prolonged laryngoscopy was performed to determine the duration of the safe apneic period, defined as the beginning of laryngoscopy until the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) reached 95%. + + RESULTS: The oxygen group had a median safe apneic duration that was 103 s longer than the control group. The lowest mean SpO2 value during the induction period was 3.8% higher in the oxygen group compared to the control group. Following intubation, patients in the oxygen group had a mean end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) level that was 3.0 mmHg higher than patients in the control group. + + CONCLUSIONS: In obese patients, oxygen insufflation at 15 L/min through a nasopharyngeal airway and standard nasal cannula can significantly increase the safe apneic duration during induction of anesthesia. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

The development of low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue is implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated disorders including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease. The main aim of the study was to characterize and quantify myocardial and adipose tissue CD68+ cells and adipose tissue crown-like structures (CLS) in patients with obesity, coronary artery disease (CAD) and T2DM. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Samples were obtained from the right atrium, epicardial (EAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) during elective heart surgery (non-obese, n = 34 patients; obese, n = 24 patients). Immunohistochemistry was used to visualize CD68+ cells. M1-polarized macrophages were visualized by immunohistochemical detection of CD11c. The proportion of CD68+ cells was higher in EAT than in SAT (43.4 +/- 25.0 versus 32.5 +/- 23.1 cells per 1 mm2; p = 0.015). Myocardial CD68+ cells were more abundant in obese patients (45.6 +/- 24.5 versus 27.7 +/- 14.8 cells per 1 mm2; p = 0.045). In SAT, CD68+ cells were more frequent in CAD patients (37.3 +/- 23.0 versus 23.1 +/- 20.9 cells per 1 mm2; p = 0.012). Patients having CLS in their SAT had higher average BMI (34.1 +/- 6.4 versus 29.0 +/- 4.5; p = 0.024). + + CONCLUSIONS: Regional-based increases in the frequency of CD68+ cells and changes of their phenotype in CLS were detected in obese patients and CAD patients. Therapeutic modulation of adipose tissue inflammation may represent a target for treatment of obesity.

PCOS mainly manifests as hyperandrogenism (HA), ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovaries, in addition to being relevant to infertility, insulin resistance (IR), obesity, lipid abnormalities, and chronic low-grade inflammation. The etiology of this syndrome remains largely unknown. microRNAs (miRNAs), small, noncoding RNAs (nearly 22 nucleotides long), regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. Abnormal miRNA levels are closely associated with the occurrence of diseases, such as diabetes, cancers, and atherosclerosis, and miRNAs can be used as predictors and diagnostic biomarkers for cancer. Interestingly, the roles of miRNAs in PCOS pathology have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Research has established that alterations in miRNA expression in women with PCOS compared with healthy women may act as noninvasive biomarkers and new therapeutic targets in PCOS. This article aims to summarize the latest research on the relationship between miRNAs and the clinical manifestations of PCOS while also providing a few mechanisms based on previous studies. Understanding the relationship between miRNAs and PCOS will provide guidance for researchers to further explore the complexity and heterogeneity of PCOS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Androgens). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MicroRNAs). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1089%2fdna.2019.4622 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Chen&issn=1044-5498&title=DNA+%26+Cell+Biology&atitle=Role+of+microRNA+in+the+Pathogenesis+of+Polycystic+Ovary+Syndrome.&volume=38&issue=8&spage=754&epage=762&date=2019&doi=10.1089%2Fdna.2019.4622&pmid=31305133&sid=OVID:medline + +<1587> +Unique Identifier + 31302012 +Title + Markers of adipose tissue inflammation are transiently elevated during intermittent fasting in women who are overweight or obese. +Source + Obesity Research & Clinical Practice. 13(4):408-415, 2019 Jul - Aug. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Liu B; Hutchison AT; Thompson CH; Lange K; Heilbronn LK +Authors Full Name + Liu, Bo; Hutchison, Amy T; Thompson, Campbell H; Lange, Kylie; Heilbronn, Leonie K. +Institution + Liu, Bo.

IF groups ate breakfast prior to fasting for 24-h on 3 non-consecutive days/week. Weight, body composition, serum non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), M1- and M2-macrophage markers by qPCR and immunohistochemistry in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle were measured following a 12-h overnight fast (fed day, all groups) and a 24-h fast (IF groups only). + + RESULTS: IF70 resulted in greater weight and fat losses and reductions in serum NEFA versus DR70 and IF100 (P<0.05) after fed days. Markers of inflammation in serum (TNFalpha, IL6 and IL10), subcutaneous adipose tissue and skeletal muscle (CD68, CD40 and CD163) were unchanged by DR or IF after fed days. After fasting, NEFA, M1-macrophages (CD40+) in adipose tissue, and M2-macrophages (CD163+) in muscle were increased in IF70 and IF100 (all P<0.05) and the changes in NEFA and mRNA of pan-macrophage marker CD68 in adipose tissue were positively correlated (r=0.56, P=0.002). + + CONCLUSIONS: Unlike caloric restriction, IF transiently elevated markers of macrophage infiltration in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, possibly in response to marked increases in adipose tissue lipolysis.

This study examined changes in those behaviors, and associations between those behaviors and BMI, cardiometabolic biomarkers, and diet quality in military recruits before and during initial military training (IMT), an environment wherein access to food is restricted. Eating rate and reliance on internal satiety cues were self-reported, and BMI, body fat, cardiometabolic biomarkers, and diet quality were measured in 1389 Army, Air Force and Marine recruits (45% female, mean+/-SEM BMI=24.1+/-0.1kg/m2) before and after IMT. Pre-IMT, habitually eating fast relative to slowly was associated with a 1.1+/-0.3kg/m2 higher BMI (P<0.001), but not with other outcomes; whereas, habitually eating until no food is left (i.e., ignoring internal satiety cues) was associated with lower diet quality (P<0.001) and, in men, 1.6+/-0.6% lower body fat (P=0.03) relative to those that habitually stopped eating before feeling full. More recruits reported eating fast (82% vs 39%) and a reduced reliance on internal satiety cues (55% vs 16%) during IMT relative to pre-IMT (P<0.001). Findings suggest that eating behaviors correlate with body composition and/or diet quality in young, predominantly normal-weight recruits entering the military, and that IMT is associated with potentially unfavorable changes in these eating behaviors.

Demographics, body mass index (BMI), medical history, and laboratory parameters were compared for groups stratified by obesity (>= 28 kg/m2) or CKD. An association between obesity and CKD was analyzed, and a multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted for risk factors associated with CKD. + + RESULTS: In the overall population, 28.7% were obese and 54.8% had CKD; there were more women (58.8%) than men. The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes was similar between the obese and nonobese groups and between the CKD and non-CKD groups. Obese patients had significantly higher levels of serum uric acid and estimated glomerular filtration rates when compared with the nonobese group. When compared with those without CKD, patients with CKD were significantly older in addition to having higher BMI and serum uric acid levels. The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that CKD was positively associated with age, BMI, and serum uric acid levels. + + CONCLUSION: Elderly obese patients with NAFLD are at a higher risk of CKD. NAFLD patients with advanced age, greater BMI, or higher serum uric acid levels are more prone to developing CKD. The renal function of NAFLD patients should be closely monitored. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 268B43MJ25 (Uric Acid). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.5152%2ftjg.2019.18343 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Luo&issn=1300-4948&title=Turkish+Journal+of+Gastroenterology&atitle=Association+of+obesity+with+chronic+kidney+disease+in+elderly+patients+with+nonalcoholic+fatty+liver+disease.&volume=30&issue=7&spage=611&epage=615&date=2019&doi=10.5152%2Ftjg.2019.18343&pmid=31290748&sid=OVID:medline + +<1591> +Unique Identifier + 31284750 +Title + Obesity paradox in heart failure: A matter of debate. +Source + European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. 26(16):1748-1750, 2019 11. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Simonenko M +Authors Full Name + Simonenko, Maria. +Institution + Simonenko, Maria.

Anthropometric parameters including height, weight, and waist circumference (WC) were measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Disease activity was assessed by 28 joints disease activity score (DAS28). Fasting plasma samples were collected and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), nesfatin-1 and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) were determined using commercial kits. Statistical analyses were done using the BMI SPSS Statistics. + + RESULTS: A total of 77 patients including 63 females, with an average age of 48.45+/-11.26 and disease duration of 9.99+/-5.80 years participated the study, 62% of whom were overweight or obese. Disease activity was significantly higher in obese patients. In addition, BMI and WC were correlated with CRP and ESR, indicating higher level of inflammation in obese patients. DAS28 was also found to be correlated with CRP, ESR and ADMA (r=0.38, 0.61, 0.21 respectively). Higher protein intake was accompanied with higher CRP and ESR and higher carbohydrate intake was related to higher CRP and lower nesfatin-1. + + CONCLUSIONS: Weight, BMI, and WC were correlated with the activity of RA and the concentrations of CRP and ESR went up in tandem with BMI. In addition, ADMA, but not nesfatin-1, was associated with BMI and disease activity in RA patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (NUCB2 protein, human). 0 (Nucleobindins). 63CV1GEK3Y (N,N-dimethylarginine). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 94ZLA3W45F (Arginine). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&AN=31280277 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Naghashian&issn=0303-464X&title=Acta+Reumatologica+Portuguesa&atitle=The+relationship+between+anthropometric+status+and+rheumatoid+arthritis.+Exploring+the+role+of+nesfatin+and+asymmetric+dimethylarginine.&volume=44&issue=2&spage=126&epage=131&date=2019&doi=&pmid=31280277&sid=OVID:medline + +<1593> +Unique Identifier + 31277301 +Title + Effects of Gelidium elegans on Weight and Fat Mass Reduction and Obesity Biomarkers in Overweight or Obese Adults: A Randomized Double-Blinded Study. +Source + Nutrients. 11(7), 2019 Jul 03. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kim CO; Kim YN; Lee DC +Author NameID + Kim, Choon Ok; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2319-1108 +Authors Full Name + Kim, Choon Ok; Kim, Youn Nam; Lee, Duk-Chul. +Institution + Kim, Choon Ok.

However, there has been no report on its effects in humans. In this study, we investigated whether GEE reduces body weight or fat mass in obese or overweight individuals. A total of 78 participants were randomly assigned to the test (GEE extract 1000 mg/day) and placebo groups at a 1:1 ratio, and treated for 12 weeks. At six or 12 weeks after randomization, they were evaluated for anthropometric parameters, biomarkers, and body composition. Changes in body weight and fat mass between the two groups was significantly different, as determined using ANCOVA adjusted for baseline, calorie intake, and physical activity. Body weight and fat mass were significantly decreased by GEE after 12 weeks but increased in the placebo group. Moreover, although not significant, triglyceride levels tended to decrease after GEE intake. There was no significant difference in other laboratory biomarkers between the two groups. Taken together, these results suggested that GEE significantly reduced body weight, especially fat mass, in overweight or obese individuals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

It is associated with a number of comorbidities, including diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and myocardial infarction. In addition, the severity of psoriasis seems to be related to the severity of obesity. Patients with higher levels of obesity show poorer response to systemic treatments of psoriasis. Several studies have demonstrated that white adipose tissue is a crucial site of the formation of proinflammatory adipokines such as leptin, adiponectin, and resistin and classical cytokines such as interleukin- (IL-) 6 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha. In psoriasis, due to the proliferation of Th1, Th17, and Th22 cells, IL-22, among others, is produced in addition to the abovementioned cytokines. With respect to leptin and resistin, both of these adipokines are present in high levels in obese persons with psoriasis. Further, the plasma levels of leptin and resistin are related to the severity of psoriasis. These results strongly suggest that obesity, through proinflammatory pathways, is a predisposing factor to the development of psoriasis and that obesity aggravates existing psoriasis.

Although low-intensity physical exercise reduces oxidative stress, obese subjects may show exercise intolerance. For these subjects, inspiratory threshold loading could be an alternative tool to reduce oxidative stress. We investigated the effects of inspiratory threshold loading on biomarkers of oxidative stress in obese and normal-weight subjects. Twenty obese (31.4 +/- 6 years old, 10 men and 10 women, 37.5 +/- 4.7 kg/m2) and 20 normal-weight (29.4 +/- 8 years old, 10 men and 10 women, 23.2 +/- 1.5 kg/m2) subjects matched for age and gender participated in the study. Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) was assessed by a pressure transducer. Blood sampling was performed before and after loading and control protocols to assess thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), protein carbonylation, and reduced glutathione. Inspiratory threshold loading was performed at 60% MIP and maintained until task failure. The 30-min control protocol was performed at 0 cmH2O. Our results demonstrated that inspiratory threshold loading reduced TBARS across time in obese (6.21 +/- 2.03 to 4.91 +/- 2.14 nmol MDA/ml) and normal-weight subjects (5.60 +/- 3.58 to 4.69 +/- 2.80 nmol MDA/ml; p = 0.007), but no change was observed in protein carbonyls and glutathione in both groups. The control protocol showed no significant changes in TBARS and protein carbonyls. However, reduced glutathione was increased across time in both groups (obese: from 0.50 +/- 0.37 to 0.56 +/- 0.35 mumol GSH/ml; normal-weight: from 0.61 +/- 0.11 to 0.81 +/- 0.23 mumol GSH/ml; p = 0.002). These findings suggest that inspiratory threshold loading could be potentially used as an alternative tool to reduce oxidative stress in both normal-weight and obese individuals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances).

The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effects of three different doses (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, and 150 mg/kg) of aqueous graviola leaf extract (AGE) supplemented by oral gavage, on obese C57BL/6 mice. Food intake, body weight, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), an insulin sensitivity test, quantification of adipose tissue cytokines, weight of fat pads, and serum biochemical and histological analyses of the liver, pancreas, and epididymal adipose tissue were measured. AGE had an anti-inflammatory effect by increasing IL-10 at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg. Regarding the cholesterol profile, there was a significant decrease in LDL-cholesterol levels in the AGE 150 group, and VLDL-cholesterol and triglycerides in the AGE 100 and 150 groups. There was an increase in HDL cholesterol in the AGE 150 group. The extract was able to reduce the adipocyte area of the epididymal adipose tissue in the AGE 100 and 150 groups. According to the histological analysis of the liver and pancreas, no significant difference was found among the groups. There were no significant effects of AGE on OGTT and serum fasting glucose concentration. However, the extract was effective in improving glucose tolerance in the AGE 150 group. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Plant Extracts). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3390%2fnu11071509 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Sasso&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Use+of+an+Extract+of+Annona+muricata+Linn+to+Prevent+High-Fat+Diet+Induced+Metabolic+Disorders+in+C57BL%2F6+Mice.&volume=11&issue=7&spage=&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.3390%2Fnu11071509&pmid=31269728&sid=OVID:medline + +<1597> +Unique Identifier + 31266190 +Title + Role of Hypovitaminosis D in the Pathogenesis of Obesity-Induced Insulin Resistance.

Obesity and impaired glucose homeostasis are closely related, and during the last decades of investigation about vitamin D, several clinical and epidemiological studies documented an inverse correlation between circulating vitamin D levels, central adiposity and the development of insulin resistance and diabetes. The insufficient sun exposure and outdoor activities of obese individuals, the storage of vitamin D in adipose tissue, because of its lipophilic properties, and the vitamin D-mediated modulation of adipogenesis, insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity and the immune system, are the main reasons for the close relationship between obesity, glucose homeostasis and hypovitaminosis D. Then objective of this review is to explore the pathophysiological mechanism(s) by which vitamin D modulates glycemic control and insulin sensitivity in obese individuals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim of the study was to assess the significance of ghrelin, leptin, their ratio (L/Gh), and the cytokine profile as biomarkers at dietary-induced hyperlipidemia. Material and methods. We used 48 female Wistar rats with an initial body weight of 123+/-1 g, which were divided into 6 groups. Group 1 (control) received a balanced semi-synthetic diet according to AIN93; group 2 - diet with excess fat (30% by weight); group 3 - a diet with the addition of 20% fructose solution instead of drinking water, group 4 - a diet with excess fat and fructose, group 5 - a diet with added cholesterol (0.5%), group 6 - a diet with cholesterol and fructose. On the 64th day of the experiment, the mass of internal organs was determined; the levels of cytokines and adipokines in blood plasma were measured by multiplex immunoassay. Results and discussion. A decrease in the level of leptin was found in group 5 compared with the control and with groups 2, 4 and 6 groups (p<0.05). The lowest level of ghrelin was found in group 2 (p<0.05) against the background of high concentrations of leptin. Significant correlations were found between L/Gh and the total mass of animals (r=0.321; p=0.034), the relative mass of adipose tissue (r=0.439; p=0.003) and with the relative mass of the spleen (r=-0.460; p=0.003). In group 2, at the maximum L/Gh ratio, a significantly higher weight of adipose tissue was found, whereas in groups 3 and 5, at the lowest L/Gh ratio, the relative amount of total fat was the lowest. L/Gh ratio correlated with the level of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), RANTES, IL-18 and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). The concentrations of IL-17, IL-18, IL-4, IL-5, MIP-3a, IFN-gamma, M-CSF and RANTES in the experimental groups were reduced compared with the control, with the most pronounced effect in group 5 together with the lowest L/Gh ratio. Conclusion. The presence of a significant correlation between L/Gh ratio and changes in the weight of rats' body, spleen, adipose tissue, as well as levels of cytokines involved in inflammation regulation, confirms the importance of L/Gh ratio as a biomarker in an in vivo model of dyslipidemia.

However, most studies have assessed the effect of single nuts rather than a nut mixture. The objective of this study was, therefore, to examine the effect of mixed-nut consumption on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in overweight and obese adults. In a randomized, parallel-arm, controlled trial, 48 participants consumed isocaloric (250 kcal) amounts of pretzels or mixed-nuts. Body weight (BW) (p = 0.024), BMI (p = 0.043), and insulin levels (p = 0.032) were significantly lower in the nut group compared to the pretzel group. Mixed-nut consumption also significantly reduced glucose (p = 0.04) and insulin (p = 0.032) levels after 4 and 8 weeks compared to baseline, respectively. Lactate dehydrogenase of the nut group was significantly lower than the pretzel group (p = 0.002). No significant differences were detected between groups for triglycerides, LDL-C, and HDL-C. However, pretzel consumption increased triglycerides (p = 0.048) from 4 weeks to 8 weeks. Moreover, LDL-C increased (p = 0.038) while HDL-C transiently decreased (p = 0.044) from baseline to 4 weeks. No significant lipid changes were detected within the nut group. Our results suggest that supplementing the diet with mixed-nuts could improve CVD risk factors by improving BW and glucose regulation in comparison to a common carbohydrate-rich snack without promoting the negative effects on lipids detected with pretzels. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Lipids).

The aim of the study was to assess the relationship of leptin with urinary sodium excretion and proximal sodium reabsorption in humans. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on participants of hypertensive families from the Seychelles Island. A split urine (daytime and nighttime) collection and plasma leptin were measured. Endogenous lithium clearance was used to assess proximal sodium reabsorption. Mixed multiple linear regression tests adjusted for confounding factors were used. + + RESULTS: Three hundred and sixty-five participants (57% women) were included in this analysis. Leptin and adiponectin were higher in women (P < 0.001). Leptin was associated positively with daytime (coefficient [c]: 0.16, standard deviation (SD): 0.03, P < 0.001), nighttime urinary sodium excretion (c: 0.17, SD: 0.04), P < 0.01), daytime lithium clearance (c: 0.40, SD: 0.08, P < 0.001), and nighttime lithium clearance (c: 0.39, SD: 0.10, P < 0.001) after adjusting for sex. The association was lost or mitigated only when BMI was introduced in the model. When BMI was categorized in normal vs. overweight participant, leptin was associated with daytime and nighttime sodium excretion rates (c: 0.14, SD: 0.05, P = 0.011 and c: 0.22, SD: 0.07, P = 0.002, respectively) only in overweight participants. + + CONCLUSION: Leptin is associated positively with daytime and nighttime sodium excretion and lithium clearance suggesting a natriuretic rather than a sodium retaining effect of leptin.

Thirty-one participants (18 subjects from CRI and 13 from CRII) resigned from the study. The effects of both diets on the body composition variables (body mass-BM; body fat-BF; fat free mass-FFM; muscle mass-MM; total body water-TBW), lipid profile (total lipids-TL; total cholesterol-TCh; HDL cholesterol-HDL; LDL cholesterol-LDL; triglycerides-TG), and glucose control variables (glucose-GL, insulin-I, HOMA-IR, insulin-like growth factor-1-IGF-1, leptin and adiponectin) were measured. + + RESULTS: After adhering to the CR I diet, significant differences were observed in FFM, MM and TG. After adhering to the CR II diet, significant differences were registered in tCh, TL and LDL. Both diets had a significant influence on leptin and adiponectin concentrations. Significant differences in FFM, MM, and tCh were observed between the CR I and CR II groups. At the end of the dietary intervention, significant differences in BF, FFM, MM and TBW were observed between the CR I and CR II groups. + + CONCLUSION: The 6 weeks of CR II diet appeared to be more effective in reducing BF and lipid profile and proved to be especially suitable for subjects with high body fat content and an elevated level of lipoproteins and cholesterol. Both reductive diets were effective in improving the levels of leptin and adiponectin in obese former athletes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (LEP protein, human). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The same is true for vitamin D, for which accumulating evidence from observational human studies suggests a key role for both male and female fertility. In the latter case, however, robust data from relevant interventional studies are currently lacking. It is also not clear whether obesity and vitamin D deficiency, besides their independent effect on human infertility, act in synergy. Several pathogenetic mechanisms may be proposed as a linkage between vitamin D deficiency and obesity, with respect to infertility. In any case, the independent contribution of vitamin D deficiency in obese infertile states needs to be proven in interventional studies focusing on either vitamin D supplementation in obese or weight loss strategies in vitamin D-deficient infertile patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Studies have shown that obesity is an independent risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) besides its link with diabetes mellitus and hypertension. We evaluated the renal status of obese patients using both the established [creatinine (Cr)] and new (cystatin C) markers of renal function. This was a cross-sectional study. Fifty-nine consenting adults attending the clinic for routine medical checks were recruited for this study. They were divided into obese and non-obese based on their body mass index. Serum from specimens collected were assayed for Cr and cystatin C. CKD equations were used to estimate glomerular filtration rate based on Cr (eGFR-Cr), cystatin C (GFR-Cystatin), and Cr/cystatin C (GFRCr/cystatin) while modification of diet in renal disease equation was also used to eGFR-Cr. The eGFR results generated were compared in assessing renal function. The obese participants and the controls were age-matched (50.6 +/- 9.7 vs. 50.7 +/- 7.8 years, P = 0.2). The obese participants had a significantly higher serum cystatin C (1.3 +/- 0.7 vs. 0.9 +/- 0.4 mg/L, P < 0.001) and significantly lower eGFR-cystatin C (75.4 +/- 38.9 mL/min/1.73 m2 vs. 90.9 +/- 25.1 mL/min/1.73 m2, P < 0.001) than the controls, respectively. There was a significant difference between the eGFR-Cr and eGFR-cystatin C in the obese participants (97.4 +/- 21.4 vs. 75.4 +/- 38.9 mL/min/1.73 m2), P = 0.019). The results showed that mild renal impairment exists among obese participants. Routine assessment is recommended to pre-empt deterioration in renal function. Cystatin C appears to be a better marker of renal function in obesity than serum Cr. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (CST3 protein, human). 0 (Cystatin C).

Cyclooxygenase (COX), a rate-limiting enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of prostaglandins (PGs), exists in two isoforms: COX-1, the constitutive form, and COX-2, mainly the inducible form. COX-2 is the key enzyme in eicosanoid metabolism that converts eicosanoids into a number of PGs, including PGD2, PGE2, PGF2alpha, and prostacyclin (PGI2), all of which exert diverse hormone-like effects via autocrine or paracrine mechanisms. The COX-2 gene and immunoreactive proteins have been documented to be highly expressed and elevated in adipose tissue (AT) under morbid obesity conditions. On the other hand, the environmental stress-induced expression and constitutive over-expression of COX-2 have been reported to play distinctive roles under different pathological and physiological conditions; i.e., over-expression of the COX-2 gene in white AT (WAT) has been shown to induce de novo brown AT (BAT) recruitment in WAT and then facilitate systemic energy expenditure to protect mice against high-fat diet-induced obesity. Hepatic COX-2 expression was found to protect against diet-induced steatosis, obesity, and insulin resistance. However, COX-2 activation in the epidydimal AT is strongly correlated with the development of AT inflammation, insulin resistance, and fatty liver in high-fat-diet-induced obese rats. This review will provide updated information regarding the role of COX-2-derived signals in the regulation of energy metabolism and the pathogenesis of obesity and MS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Prostaglandins).

Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues effectively treat obesity and type 2 diabetes and may offer potential for NAFLD treatment. + + AIM: To evaluate the effect of the glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, semaglutide, on alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in subjects at risk of NAFLD. + + METHODS: Data from a 104-week cardiovascular outcomes trial in type 2 diabetes (semaglutide 0.5 or 1.0 mg/week) and a 52-week weight management trial (semaglutide 0.05-0.4 mg/day) were analysed. Treatment ratios vs placebo were estimated for ALT (both trials) and hsCRP (weight management trial only) using a mixed model for repeated measurements, with or without adjustment for change in body weight. + + RESULTS: Elevated baseline ALT (men >30 IU/L; women >19 IU/L) was present in 52% (499/957) of weight management trial subjects. In this group with elevated ALT, end-of-treatment ALT reductions were 6%-21% (P<0.05 for doses>=0.2 mg/day) and hsCRP reductions 25%-43% vs placebo (P < 0.05 for 0.2 and 0.4 mg/day). Normalisation of elevated baseline ALT occurred in 25%-46% of weight management trial subjects, vs 18% on placebo. Elevated baseline ALT was present in 41% (1325/3268) of cardiovascular outcomes trial subjects. In this group with elevated ALT, no significant ALT reduction was noted at end-of-treatment for 0.5 mg/week, while a 9% reduction vs placebo was seen for 1.0 mg/week (P = 0.0024). Treatment ratios for changes in ALT and hsCRP were not statistically significant after adjustment for weight change. + + CONCLUSIONS: Semaglutide significantly reduced ALT and hsCRP in clinical trials in subjects with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes.

Changes in HbA1c, fasting glucose, and body weight were assessed from baseline to 6 months. + + Results: Mean (99.2% credible interval (CI)) reductions in HbA1c were 0.11% (0.07% to 0.16%), 0.08% (0.03% to 0.13%), 0.03% (-0.01% to 0.07%), and 0.02% (-0.02% to 0.07%), for the high, moderate, low, and control conditions, respectively. Mean (CI) reductions in fasting blood glucose were 0.26 mmol/L (0.14 to 0.39), 0.09 mmol/L (0 to 0.19), 0.01 mmol/L (-0.07 to 0.09), and 0.04 mmol/L (-0.03 to 0.12) for the high, moderate, low, and control conditions, respectively. The high-dose treatment produced significantly greater reductions in HbA1c and fasting blood glucose than the low-dose and control conditions (posterior probabilities (pp)<0.001); no other significant between-group differences were observed. Mean (CI) reductions in body weight were 10.91 kg (9.30 to 12.64), 10.08 kg (8.38 to 11.72), 6.35 kg (5.19 to 7.69), and 3.82 kg (3.04 to 4.54) for the high, moderate, low, and control conditions, respectively. All between-group differences in 6-month weight change were significant (pps<0.001) except for the high-dose versus moderate-dose comparison. + + Conclusion: For adults with obesity and prediabetes a high dose of behavioral treatment involving 24 sessions over 6 months may be needed to optimize improvements in glycemic control. + + Trial registration number: NCT00912652. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, they are less likely to have complete follow-up data. Center variation and risk factors for incomplete follow-up are unknown. + + METHODS: Adult living kidney donors with obesity (body mass index, >=30 kg/m) at donation reported to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients from January 2005 to July 2015 were included (n = 13 831). Donor characteristics were compared by recorded serum creatinine at 6 months postdonation, and multilevel logistic regression models were used to estimate odds of 6-month creatinine. + + RESULTS: After adjustment, older age, female sex, and donation after implementation of new center follow-up requirements were associated with higher odds of 6-month creatinine, with lower odds for obese donors with a history of smoking, biologically related donors, and at centers with higher total living donor volume. 23% of variation in recorded 6-month serum creatinine among obese donors was attributed to center (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.232, P < 0.001). The adjusted probability of 6-month creatinine by center ranged from 10% to 91.5%. + + CONCLUSIONS: Tremendous variation in recorded 6-month postdonation serum creatinine exists among obese living donors, with high volume centers having the lowest probability of follow-up. Moreover, individual-level characteristics such as age, sex, and relationship to recipient were associated with recorded 6-month creatinine. Given increased risk for end-stage renal disease among obese living donors, center-level efforts targeted specifically at increasing postdonation follow-up among obese donors should be developed and implemented. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of initiation of a 5-10% low-carbohydrate, 75-85% high-fat diet on specific clinical indicators of obesity, a metabolic disease associated with increased morbidity and mortality, at baseline and six months in an adult population. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Utilizing a retrospective electronic medical record data collection protocol, one hundred patients with obesity in a wellness clinic in the Southwestern United States between 2017 and 2018 prescribed a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet were selected via simple random sampling. Measurements of body mass index, hemoglobin A1C, and lipid levels were extracted at baseline and six months after initiation. + + RESULTS: Mean differences of each biomarker at baseline and six months were analyzed utilizing paired samples t-testing in SPSS and demonstrated statistically-significant improvement across each category. Body mass index decreased, hemoglobin A1C decreased, and each of three clinically-relevant lipid level measurements moved numerically toward normal-value ranges. + + CONCLUSION: Data from this sample of 100 patients with obesity suggest body weight, diabetic, and cardiovascular status improvement from a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet over six months, affording a prescriptive nutrition option for primary care providers to consider prior to or as a complement to pharmacologic management.

However, few gender based reports are available describing therelationship between T2DM and TD in clinically euthyroid, anthropometry specified groups of type 2 diabetics. The aim of this study was to relategender based biochemical changes in anthropometry specified, clinically euthyroid type 2 diabetics. + + METHODOLOGY: The study was carried out on clinically euthyroid type 2 diabetics (male n=269; female n=301) at a tertiary health care unit in Pondicherry, South India. Three groups were segregatedbased on Body mass Index: 153 non-obese type 2 diabetics (BMI=18.5-24.99), 291 overweight type 2 diabetics (BMI=25-29.99) and 126 obese type 2 diabetics (BMI>=30). Biochemical parameters included glycated hemoglobin, insulin resistance, Cortisol and Thyroid profile. + + RESULTS: The study had included clinically euthyroid type 2 diabetics (52.8% females and 47.2% males). Statistically significant associationsweredifferently observed between insulin resistance (dependent variable) andother independent variables, irrespective of sex hormone status. Total protein was negatively related in non -obese male type 2 diabetics (R=0.780); Triiodothyronine was inversely associated in overweight males, whereas cortisol and the divalent cations (Zinc and Magnesium) depicted positive association (R=0.555) in the same group (overweight), butcortisol in non -obese female type 2 diabeticswas negative (R=0.742); Glycated hemoglobin and calcium exhibited positive relationshipin obese type 2 female diabetics (R=0.771). . + + CONCLUSION: Our study has revealed distinctive relationship between T2DM and TD in the anthropometry specified, clinically euthyroid and gender based type 2 diabetics, independent of the sex hormones.

Obesity is complex. Although its risk factors are myriad and compounding, there is an urgent need for a deeper understanding of the way risk factors interact with each other. Leptin is a peptide regulates food intake and body weight. However, the notion of leptin as an anti-obesity hormone was called into question because obesity is typically associated with high leptin levels and not leptin deficiency thus, we aimed to measure leptin levels in obese female in correlation to anthropometric measures and to evaluate the impact of weight loss on its level and metabolic parameters. + + SUBJECT AND METHODS: case-control study enrolled 40 control groups, 50 obese women. We measured anthropometric measures BMI, Waist/hip ratio (WHR). Fat mass index (FMI%) and free fat mass index (FFMI%) were assessed by dual energy X-Ray absorptiometry (DEXA) The serum levels of leptin were measured by ELISA. + + RESULTS: Our results revealed that serum leptin levels were higher in obese women compared to controls. Moreover, it was positively correlated to anthropometric measures, glycemic and lipid profile. Linear regression analysis revealed that BMI was the main independent studied parameters associated with serum leptin level among other clinical and laboratory biomarkers. Interestingly, after 12 weeks of following the Mediterranean diet (MD)-based weight loss program, serum leptin levels were decreased. Logistic regression analysis was performed to detect the main predictors' biomarkers associated with weight loss among obese women. We found that serum leptin and FMI% were an independent predictor of response with odds ratios of 1.69 and 1.64 respectively (P<0.001), Receiver operating characteristic analyses revealed that the AUC of serum leptin in discriminating obese women from lean ones was 0.893 (95% CI=0.815-0.917) with sensitivity=90%, specificity=96%, and the cutoff values was 36.32ng/ml. + + CONCLUSION: Serum leptin could be a valuable diagnostic marker of obesity and its comorbidities. Moreover, significant weight loss leads to decrease serum leptin levels and improvement of glycemic and lipid profiles. Copyright © 2019.

The present study aimed to evaluate muscle mass in the patients with obesity, prediabetes (PDM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) by different equations for the measurement of muscle mass. + + METHODS: Obese patients aged 18-65 years old, who presented between 2013 and 2015 were reviewed and they were separated into three groups as obese, prediabetes (PDM) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), sum of the appendicular lean masses (ALM) were measured in all participants. Body muscle mass ratio was calculated as the total muscle mass divided by the body weight, and skeletal muscle index was calculated as the total muscle mass divided by the square of the height. In addition, ALM/weight, ALM/height2 and ALM/BMI ratios were also evaluated. + + RESULTS: A total of 1107 participants, of whom 666 (60.2%) were female, were enrolled into the study. Of the participants, 288 (%26.02) had obesity, 524 (%47.33) had PDM and 295 (26.65%) had DM. There was a significant difference in ALM/BMI ratio between the three groups for both genders (p=0.003 for female and p=0.003 for male). ALM/weight ratio and body muscle mass ratio were decreased between groups in female, whereas it was no difference in male (p=0.003, p<0.001 for females, respectively; p=0.802, p=0.840 for males, respectively). + + CONCLUSIONS: ALM/BMI may be more accurate for the evaluation of muscle mass in middle-aged obese, PDM and DM subjects.

The aim of the present study was to estimate KISS level in patients with PCOS, and to evaluate the possible relationship between KISS level with anthropometric measures as well as clinic-morphological features of PCOS. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: cross section control study enrolled 90 control group and 105 patients with PCOS and they were stratified according to their body mass index (BMI) to; underweight (n=9, BMI <19), normal weight (n=25, BMI=19.1-25), over weight (n=34,BMI=25.1-30), obese grade I (n=12, BMI=30.1-35) , obese grade II (n=13, BMI 35.1-40) and obese grade III (n=12, BMI>40). Circulating KISS levels were measured using ELISA. + + RESULTS: Our results revealed that, KISS levels were higher in PCOS patients compared to controls. Among PCOS group, there were significant lower level of KISS levels in underweight, overweight and obese compared to normal weight group. Even more importantly, KISS levels decreased with increasing of BMI as the following, grade I, grade II and grade III. Moreover, it was negatively correlated to anthropometric measures, glycemic, lipid profile and positively correlated the phenotype characteristics of PCOS. Linear regression test observed that hirsutism score, HOMA-IR and LH were the main predictors of KISS levels in PCOS. + + CONCLUSION: circulating KISS is an important regulator of body weight and reproduction especially in PCOS women.

Participants were divided in two groups according to WC or WHtR levels. We considered values of WC >= 90 in male participants and WC>=80 in adult women as elevated, and values of WHtR>=0.50 as high, for both genders. Our outcomes were high triglycerides to HDL-cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio and elevated triglycerides and glucose index (TGI). We considered values of TG/HDL-C ratio >= 3 as high and TGI values>=8.37 as elevated. We elaborated crude and adjusted Poisson generalized linear models to evaluate the proposed associations and explored the gender interaction using stratified models. We reported the prevalence ratio (PR) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). + + RESULTS: We analyzed 355 participants. The prevalence of elevated WC and high WHtR was 17.2% (n=61) and 33.2% (n=118), respectively, while the prevalence of high TG/HDL-C ratio and elevated TGI was 24.8% (n=88) and 12.7% (n=45), respectively. In the adjusted regression model, elevated WC was associated with high TG/HDL-C ratio only in female participants (aPR=3.61; 95%CI: 1.59-8.20). Similarly, high WHtR was associated with high TG/HDL-C ratio in women (aPR=2.54; 95%CI:1.08-5.97). We found an association with statistically marginal significance between elevated WC and elevated TGI in women (aPR=1.54; 95%CI: 0.95-2.50); as well as for the association between high WHtR and elevated TGI in male participants (aPR=1.87; 95%CI: 1.00-3.50). + + CONCLUSION: Elevated WC and high WHtR were associated with a high TG/HDL-C ratio in women. It is necessary to perform prospective follow-up studies in the Peruvian population in order to corroborate our results. Copyright © 2019 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The exact pro-oxidant and antioxidant status in PCOS patients has not yet been fully established. We designed prospective study aimed to explore the association of PCOS and oxidative stress and examine the relationship of oxidative stress biomarkers with insulin parameters. + + METHODS: Two groups were included: study group including 85 women with PCOS and control group of 85 healthy volunteers. Biochemical, Hormonal and insulin parameters were measured. Vitamin C, vitamin E, nitric oxide and activities of antioxidant enzymes were estimated using spectrophotometric methods. + + RESULTS: Subjects with PCOS had poor antioxidant status as reflected by significantly low levels of glutathione, vitamin C & E and considerably increased activities of antioxidant enzymes like glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glutathione transferase as compared to those without PCOS. At the same time insulin levels were found to be significantly high and a positive correlation between oxidative stress and insulin parameters was observed in PCOS. + + CONCLUSION: Low levels of antioxidants and increased oxidative stress with insulin resistance along with the observed correlation between these parameters suggest that women with PCOS are under oxidative stress which supports the concept that oxidative stress is involved in PCOS pathophysiology. Thus oxidative stress could be a contributory factor to future cardiovascular disease risk in these women in addition to known features like dyslipidemia, central obesity, etc. Copyright © 2019 Diabetes India.

A cross-sectional study was carried out among 475 youth selected by systematic random sampling attending in 27 established public and private universities and colleges of Bangladesh. The study was aimed to evaluate habitual facts associated with the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Bangladeshi youth. The rates of fast food consumption (once/week) are 50.6%, 43.7%, and 53.3% in overweight, pre-obese and obese-1 respondents accordingly and the rates of soft drinks consumption (4-6 times/week) are 40.5%, 59.2%, and 73.3% respectively for the same subjects. Moreover, approximately 40.8% of the youth went to fast food restaurants at least once per week and 27.2% went regularly (2 times/week). Youth having fast foods 2 times/week, consuming soft drinks 3-4 times/week were more likely to be obese. Besides, obesity epidemic was observed among those who have not the habit of doing physical exercise. This study provides evidence of increasing trend and threat to overweight and obesity for the Bangladeshi youth. Copyright © 2019 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The participants were reclassified according to adiponectin levels and IR. + + RESULTS: Group (1) (with IR, n=41) compared to group (2) (without IR, n=45) had lower squared adiponectin level and higher fat mass and fat percent (p value=0.037, 0.030, and 0.035 respectively). Quadratic adiponectin level was an independent predictor for better BMR in group (2) with higher R2 compared to linear adiponectin level (R2=0.19, 0.15 consecutively, p value=0.02, 0.008 consecutively) in group (2) rather than group (1). This revealed U-shaped relation between adiponectin level and BMR in group (2).

Early exposure to excessive nutrition may result in altered programming leading to increased susceptibility to obesity, inflammation, and metabolic complications. This study investigated the programming effects of high-fat diet (HFD) exposure during the lactation period on offspring adiposity and inflammation. Female C57Bl/6J dams were fed a normal diet or a 60% HFD during lactation. Offspring were weaned onto a normal diet until 12 weeks of age when half were re-challenged with HFD for 12 weeks. Metabolic testing was performed throughout adulthood. At 24 weeks, adipose depots were isolated and evaluated for macrophage profiling and inflammatory gene expression. Males exposed to HFD during lactation had insulin resistance and glucose intolerance as adults. After re-introduction to HFD, males had increased weight gain and worsened insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. There was increased infiltration of pro-inflammatory CD11c+ adipose tissue macrophages, and bone marrow was primed to produce granulocytes and macrophages. Bone density was lower due to enhanced marrow adiposity. This study demonstrates that maternal HFD exposure during the lactational window programs offspring adiposity, inflammation, and impaired glucose homeostasis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3390%2fnu11061393 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Hafner&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Lactational+High-Fat+Diet+Exposure+Programs+Metabolic+Inflammation+and+Bone+Marrow+Adiposity+in+Male+Offspring.&volume=11&issue=6&spage=&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.3390%2Fnu11061393&pmid=31234301&sid=OVID:medline + +<1620> +Unique Identifier + 31233515 +Title + Puerarin prevents high-fat diet-induced obesity by enriching Akkermansia muciniphila in the gut microbiota of mice. +Source + PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 14(6):e0218490, 2019. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Wang L; Wu Y; Zhuang L; Chen X; Min H; Song S; Liang Q; Li AD; Gao Q +Author NameID + Gao, Qian; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8189-6061 +Authors Full Name + Wang, Lei; Wu, Yongzheng; Zhuang, Lingjia; Chen, Xiufang; Min, Haiyan; Song, Shiyu; Liang, Qiao; Li, An-Dong; Gao, Qian. +Institution + Wang, Lei.

Puerarin, an active ingredient in the root of Pueraria lobate has been suggested to have a potent anti-obesity effect. Herein, we tested whether this effect of puerarin is associated with changes in the gut microbiota. In addition to reducing body weight, inflammation, and insulin resistance, puerarin administration significantly altered the composition of the gut microbiota. Notably, puerarin treatment greatly increased the abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila, a mucin-degrading bacterium known to be beneficial for host metabolism and significantly downregulated in high-fat diet-fed mice. Further experiments revealed that puerarin increased intestinal expression levels of Muc2 and Reg3g and protected intestinal barrier function (normal permeability) by increasing the expression of ZO-1 and occludin in vivo and in vitro. These data suggest that puerarin's enriching effect on A. muciniphila is mediated, at least in part, by a host cellular response to protect the host from diet-induced metabolic disorders and other diseases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Serum ferritin level and other clinical and laboratory parameters were measured in the population. Liver ultrasound examinations were performed to diagnose NAFLD. + + RESULTS: Of the 1,020 enrolled participants, 148 (14.51%) fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for NAFLD. Subjects with NAFLD had a higher level of serum ferritin than individuals without NAFLD in non-obese subjects. Serum ferritin level was significantly and positively correlated with parameters of MS (BMI, SBP, TG and FPG) in NAFLD group. Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that serum ferritin level was significantly associated with the risk factor for NAFLD. After adjusting for confounders, serum ferritin level was an independent factor predicting advanced fibrosis (FIB-4 >= 1.3) in NAFLD participants. + + CONCLUSIONS: Increased serum ferritin level is significantly associated with NAFLD, and elevated serum ferritin level is an independent factor predicting advanced fibrosis for NAFLD in a non-obese Chinese population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-73-2 (Ferritins). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.7754%2fClin.Lab.2019.181250 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Yao&issn=1433-6510&title=Clinical+Laboratory&atitle=Association+between+Serum+Ferritin+Level+and+Nonalcoholic+Fatty+Liver+Disease+in+a+Non-Obese+Chinese+Population%3A+a+Cross-Sectional+Study.&volume=65&issue=6&spage=&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.7754%2FClin.Lab.2019.181250&pmid=31232044&sid=OVID:medline + +<1622> +Unique Identifier + 31221297 +Title + Effect of whey protein supplementation combined with resistance training on body composition, muscular strength, functional capacity, and plasma-metabolism biomarkers in older women with sarcopenic obesity: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. +Source + Clinical Nutrition ESPEN. 32:88-95, 2019 08. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Nabuco HCG; Tomeleri CM; Fernandes RR; Sugihara Junior P; Cavalcante EF; Cunha PM; Antunes M; Nunes JP; Venturini D; Barbosa DS; Burini RC; Silva AM; Sardinha LB; Cyrino ES +Authors Full Name + Nabuco, Hellen C G; Tomeleri, Crisieli M; Fernandes, Rodrigo R; Sugihara Junior, Paulo; Cavalcante, Edilaine F; Cunha, Paolo M; Antunes, Melissa; Nunes, Joao Pedro; Venturini, Danielle; Barbosa, Decio S; Burini, Roberto Carlos; Silva, Analiza M; Sardinha, Luis B; Cyrino, Edilson S. +Institution + Nabuco, Hellen C G.

Their coexistence is termed sarcopenic obesity (SO). Hence, increasing protein intake and resistance training (RT) are interventions that could counteract these illnesses. The objective of this investigation was to analyze the effects of whey protein (WP) supplementation associated with RT on body composition, muscular strength, functional capacity, and plasma-metabolism biomarkers in older women with SO. + + METHODS: Twenty six sarcopenic (appendicular lean soft tissue ALST < 15.02 kg) obese (body fat mass >= 35%) older women were randomly assigned to receive daily, either 35 g of WP (WP group) or placebo (PLA group), combined with supervised RT (8 exercises, 3 x 8-12 rep, 3 times a week), during a 12-week protocol. Blood samples, blood pressure, dietary intake, functional capacity tests, the one repetition maximum (1RM) test, and body composition were assessed before and after the intervention period. Two-way analysis of variance for repeated measures was applied for comparisons. + + RESULTS: The WP group presented greater (P < 0.05) increases in ALST (WP = 6.0% vs. PLA = 2.5%) and decreases in (P < 0.05) total (-3.3% vs. -0.3%) and trunk fat mass (WP = -5.1% vs. PLA = -1.1) and IL-6 (WP = -34.6% vs. PLA = 9.3%) compared with the PLA group. Both groups demonstrated improved (P < 0.05) scores for muscular strength, waist-hip ratio, functional capacity, and other plasma-metabolism biomarkers without significant differences between conditions. + + CONCLUSION: Whey protein combined with RT increased ALST, and decreased total and trunk fat mass, improving sarcopenia and decreasing SO in older women, with a limited impact on inflammation.

Dyslipidemia is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and it often starts during childhood. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed in a growth assessment clinic in the city of Shiraz to determine the relation between body mass index (BMI) and dyslipidemia among children and teenagers aged 2-18 years. Nine hundred and eighty-nine children including 422 boys and 567 girls were selected. Results Adjusted for age and gender, total cholesterol (TC) (r = 0.172, p = 0.000), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) (r = 0.176, p = 0.000), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-c) (r = 0.227, p = 0.000) and triglycerides (TG) (r = 0.253, p = 0.000) showed a significant positive correlation with BMI Z-score, and HDL-c showed a significant negative correlation with BMI Z-score (r = -0.131, p = 0.000). Adjusted for age and gender, overweight and obese children were 1.882 times more likely to have high TC levels (p = 0.009), 2.236 times more likely to have high non-HDL-c levels (p = 0.000) and 3.176 times more likely to have high TG levels (p = 0.000) in comparison with children who had a healthy weight. Obese children had the highest percentage of isolated TG dyslipidemia (23.1%) and underweight children had the highest percentage of isolated HDL dyslipidemia (15.6%). Conclusions There is a strong link between atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and the level of blood lipids and between blood lipids and BMI Z-score. The first step in preventing ASCVD is the reduction of blood lipids, preventing weight gain and loss of extra weight. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1515%2fjpem-2019-0002 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Habib&issn=0334-018X&title=Journal+of+Pediatric+Endocrinology+%26+Metabolism&atitle=Association+of+lipid+profile+and+BMI+Z-score+in+southern+Iranian+children+and+adolescents.&volume=32&issue=8&spage=827&epage=835&date=2019&doi=10.1515%2Fjpem-2019-0002&pmid=31219798&sid=OVID:medline + +<1624> +Unique Identifier + 31219502 +Title + Comments on: Serum nesfatin-1 and galanin concentrations in the adult with metabolic syndrome.

As part of the complex pathogenesis, natural killer (NK) cells have been implicated in the development of liver inflammation in experimental murine models of NASH. However, there is a lack of knowledge on how NK cells are affected in humans with this disease. Here, we explored the presence of disease-specific changes within circulating and tissue-resident NK cell populations, as well as within other major immune cell subsets, in patients with liver biopsy-confirmed NAFLD. Using 18-color-flow cytometry, substantial changes were observed in certain myeloid populations in patients as compared to controls. NK cell numbers, on the other hand, were not altered. Furthermore, only minor differences in expression of activating and inhibitory NK cell receptors were noted, with the exception of an increased expression of NKG2D on NK cells from patients with NASH. NK cell differentiation remained constant, and NK cells from these patients retain their ability to respond adequately upon stimulation. Instead, considerable alterations were observed between liver, adipose tissue, and peripheral blood NK cells, independently of disease status. Taken together, these results increase our understanding of the importance of the local microenvironment in shaping the NK cell compartment and stress the need for further studies exploring how NASH affects intrahepatic NK cells in humans. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (KLRK1 protein, human). 0 (NK Cell Lectin-Like Receptor Subfamily K). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The excess of fat mass, as occurs during overweight and obesity states, alters the regulation of adipose tissue, contributing to the development of obesity-related disorders. In this regard, many epidemiological studies shown an association between obesity and numerous types of malignancies, comprising those linked to the endocrine system (e.g., breast, endometrial, ovarian, thyroid and prostate cancers). Multiple factors may contribute to this phenomenon, such as hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, abnormal adipokines secretion and metabolism. Among adipokines, growing interest has been placed in recent years on adiponectin (APN) and on its role in carcinogenesis. APN is secreted by adipose tissue and exerts both anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative actions. It has been demonstrated that APN is drastically decreased in obese individuals and that it can play a crucial role in tumor growth. Although literature data on the impact of APN on carcinogenesis are sometimes conflicting, the most accredited hypothesis is that it has a protective action, preventing cancer development and progression. The aim of the present review is to summarize the currently available evidence on the involvement of APN and its signaling in the etiology of cancer, focusing on endocrine malignancies. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Receptors, Adiponectin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Here, we found that the expression of hepatic Tff3 was significantly decreased in NAFLD mice models, suggesting that Tff3 was a potential marker gene for NAFLD. Restoring the expression of Tff3 in the liver of NAFLD mice, including diabetic (db), obese (ob/ob), and diet-induced obese mice, with adenovirus-mediated Tff3 (Ad-Tff3) apparently attenuates the fatty liver phenotype. In contrast, adenovirus-mediated knockdown of Tff3 (Ad-shTff3) in C57BL/6J mice results in an obvious fatty liver phenotype. Furthermore, our molecular experiments indicated that hepatic Tff3 could alleviate hepatic steatosis via upregulating the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) directly, thereby enhancing the fatty acid oxidation process in the liver. Notably, we found that Tff3 attenuates the fatty liver phenotype independent of modulation of lipogenesis and improves the capacity of anti-inflammation. Overall, our results suggested that hepatic Tff3 could be effectively used as a potential therapy target for the treatment of NAFLD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids). 0 (PPAR alpha). 0 (Ppara protein, mouse). 0 (Tff3 protein, mouse). 0 (Trefoil Factor-3). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The objective of this study was to examine the prognostic value in heart failure (HF) patients, of a series of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). + + METHODS: A selection of 192 SNPs found to be related with obesity, body mass index, circulating lipids or cardiovascular diseases were genotyped in 191 patients with HF. Anthropometrical and clinical variables were collected for each patient, and death and readmission by HF were registered as the primary endpoint. + + RESULTS: A total of 53 events were registered during a follow-up period of 438 (263-1077) days (median (IQR)). Eight SNPs strongly related to obesity and HF prognosis were selected as possible prognostic variables. From these, rs10189761 and rs737337 variants were independently associated with HF prognosis (HR 2.295 (1.287-4.089, 95% CI); p = 0.005), whereas rs10423928, rs1800437, rs737337 and rs9351814 were related with bad prognosis only in obese patients (HR 2.142 (1.438-3.192, 95% CI); p = 0.00018). Combined scores of the genomic variants were highly predictive of poor prognosis. + + CONCLUSIONS: SNPs rs10189761 and rs737337 were identified, for the first time, as independent predictors of major clinical outcomes in patients with HF. The data suggests an additive predictive value of these SNPs for a HF prognosis. In particular for obese patients, SNPs rs10423928, rs1800437, rs737337 and rs9351814 were related with a bad prognosis. Combined scores weighting the risk of each genomic variant could effect interesting new tools to stratify the prognostic risk of HF patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs10557-019-06888-8 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Agra&issn=0920-3206&title=Cardiovascular+Drugs+%26+Therapy&atitle=Obesity-Related+Genetic+Determinants+of+Heart+Failure+Prognosis.&volume=33&issue=4&spage=415&epage=424&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs10557-019-06888-8&pmid=31209632&sid=OVID:medline + +<1630> +Unique Identifier + 31207658 +Title + Neuroendocrine Control, Inflammation, and Psychological Aspects After Interdisciplinary Therapy in Obese Women. +Source + Hormone & Metabolic Research. 51(6):375-380, 2019 Jun. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Moraes ADS; Cipullo MAT; Poli VFS; Rebelo RA; Ribeiro EB; Oyama LM; Silva SGA; Damaso AR; Padovani RDC; Caranti DA +Authors Full Name + Moraes, Amanda Dos Santos; Cipullo, Marcos Alberto Taddeo; Poli, Vanessa Fadanelli Schoenardie; Rebelo, Renata Astride; Ribeiro, Eliane Beraldi; Oyama, Lila Missae; Silva, Stephan Garcia Andrade; Damaso, Ana Raimunda; Padovani, Ricardo da Costa; Caranti, Danielle Arisa. +Institution + Moraes, Amanda Dos Santos.

The objective was to evaluate the effects of interdisciplinary therapy in the neuroendocrine control of food intake, inflammatory markers, and psychological aspects in obese women. Forty-seven obese women (43.32+/-5.82 years, 34.86+/-3.08 kg/m2), aged 30-50 years, participated in an interdisciplinary lifestyle change therapy, consisting of nutritional counseling, physical exercises, and psychological therapy for 36 weeks. After the long-term therapy, there was a decrease in body weight (DELTA -5.36 kg), BMI (DELTA -2.01 kg/m2), abdominal (DELTA -9.09 cm), hip (DELTA -5.03 cm), and thigh (DELTA -5.07 cm) perimeters. There was also a significant improvement in body composition, with an increase in fat-free mass (DELTA 1.60%) and reduction of body fat (DELTA -3.74 kg). The therapy proposed also provided an improvement in depression scores (DELTA -6.63), anxiety (DELTA -4.07), body image (DELTA -25.25), and binge eating (DELTA -5.25). There was a significant reduction in serum levels of leptin (DELTA -15.62 ng/ml). The interdisciplinary therapy was able to provide both, physical and psychological benefits in energy balance, which enables the use of this model as a feasible clinical strategy for the treatment of obesity.

Older adults are vulnerable to medication adverse effects. Intentional weight loss in older adults with obesity has been shown to improve cardiovascular and glycaemic markers. The effect of rapid weight loss induced by very-low-calorie diets (VLCDs) on these markers has not been evaluated in this group. In this 12-week study, participants were randomized to one of healthy eating, hypocaloric diet or VLCD, all combined with three times weekly exercise (Ex/HE, Ex/Diet, Ex/VLCD, respectively). The effects of these interventions on weight, blood pressure, lipids, glucose and HbA1c , inflammatory markers and cardiovascular and diabetes medication changes were measured. Weight loss was 3.7%, 5.1% and 11.1% in Ex/HE, Ex/Diet and Ex/VLCD, respectively. There were significant improvements in HbA1c in all groups, but by the greatest degree in Ex/VLCD (0.18 +/- 0.07%, 0.18 +/- 0.06% and 0.59 +/- 0.13%, respectively). Similar patterns were seen in total cholesterol (0.13 +/- 0.15, 0.21 +/- 0.11 and 0.53 +/- 0.13 mmol/L, respectively, P = .047), triglycerides (0.35 +/- 0.13, 0.20 +/- 0.10 and 0.51 +/- 0.09 mmol/L, respectively, P = .011) and systolic blood pressure (9 +/- 2, 2 +/- 3 and 14 +/- 3 mmHg respectively, P = .025). There were no between-group differences in fasting glucose, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, LDL-C and inflammatory markers. Reductions in anti-hypertensive or diabetes medication were made in 4/29, 7/36 and 16/37 participants in Ex/HE, Ex/Diet and Ex/VLCD, respectively (P = .017). Significant weight loss achieved with a VLCD gave rise to improvements in multiple cardiovascular risk markers, despite reduction in medication. Weight loss is an under-utilized method of cardiovascular risk management in this group.

We implement genome-wide transcriptional profiling of maternal blood samples to identify subsets of genes and associated transcription control pathways that predict offspring birth weight. Female participants (N = 178, mean = 27.0 years) in a prospective observational birth cohort study were contacted between 2009 and 2014 to identify new pregnancies. An in-home interview was scheduled for early in the third trimester (mean = 30.3 weeks) to collect pregnancy-related information and a blood sample, and birth weight was measured shortly after delivery. Transcriptional activity in white blood cells was determined with a whole-genome gene expression direct hybridization assay. Fifty transcripts were differentially expressed in association with offspring birth weight, with 18 up-regulated in relation to lower birth weight, and 32 down-regulated. Examination of transcription control pathways identified increased activity of NF-kappaB, AP-1, EGR1, EGR4, and Gfi families, and reduced the activity of CEBP, in association with lower birth weight. Transcript origin analyses identified non-classical CD16+ monocytes, CD1c+ myeloid dendritic cells, and neutrophils as the primary cellular mediators of differential gene expression. These results point toward a systematic regulatory shift in maternal white blood cell activity in association with lower offspring birth weight, and they suggest that analyses of gene expression during gestation may provide insight into regulatory and cellular mechanisms that influence birth outcomes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

There is a lot of evidence that some polyphenols, such as green tea, have a positive impact on the OS state and consecutively, on inflammation. Objectives: the purposes of this study were: a) evaluate OS biomarkers in both obese and normal weight women; and b) evaluate if green tea supplementation has an impact on OS and inflammatory cytokine biomarkers of obese women. Methods: we evaluated obese (body mass index [BMI] >= 40 kg/m2) and normal weight (BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 kg/m2) women. Blood samples were used to access malondialdehyde (MDA), trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and inflammatory cytokines. We randomly chose obese patients (18 individuals) and then gave them green tea supplementation for eight weeks. Statistical analysis included the Shapiro-Wilk, Wilcoxon, independent and paired t tests; p < 0.05 were considered as significant. Results: we enrolled 42 obese (BMI: 48.2 +/- 9.3kg/m2) and 21 normal weight (BMI: 22.5 +/- 2 kg/m2) women with an average age of 36.2 +/- 9.1 years old. The serum levels of MDA were higher in obese (2.52 +/- 0.31 micromol/l) than in eutrophic women (2.13 +/- 0.26 micromol/l; p = 0.000). On the other hand, lower TEAC values were observed in the obese (0.75 +/- 0.06 mM/l) than in the eutrophic group (0.78 +/- 0.04 mM/l; p = 0.009). After the green tea intervention, MDA decreased 4.7% and TEAC increased 10%. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) serum levels decreased 12.7% after treatment (p = 0.03). Conclusions : a) the obese group had lower antioxidant capacity than eutrophic; and b) green tea supplementation ameliorated TEAC and MDA and reduced serum levels of IL-6 in obese women. +Other Abstract + Publisher + INTRODUCCION: Introduccion: la obesidad se asocia con altos niveles de estres oxidativo (EO) e inflamacion. Existe mucha evidencia de que algunos polifenoles, como el te verde, tienen un impacto positivo en el estado del EO y, consecutivamente, en la inflamacion. Objetivos: los propositos de este estudio fueron: a) evaluar los biomarcadores de EO en mujeres obesas y de peso normal; y b) evaluar si la suplementacion con te verde tiene un impacto en el EO y biomarcadores de citoquinas inflamatorias de las mujeres obesas. Metodos: evaluamos mujeres obesas (indice de masa corporal [IMC] >= 40 kg/m2) y con peso normal (IMC entre 18,5 y 24,9 kg/m2). Se utilizaron muestras de sangre para determinar el malondialdehido (MDA), la capacidad antioxidante equivalente de trolox (TEAC) y las citoquinas inflamatorias. Elegimos al azar pacientes obesas (18 individuos) y luego les dimos suplementos de te verde durante ocho semanas. El analisis estadistico incluyo las pruebas de Shapiro-Wilk, Wilcoxon, t pareadas e independientes; p < 0,05 fueron considerados como significativos. Resultados: se reclutaron 42 mujeres obesas (IMC: 48,2 +/- 9,3 kg/m2) y 21 de peso normal (IMC: 22,5 +/- 2 kg/m2) con un promedio de edad de 36,2 +/- 9,1 anos. Los niveles sericos de MDA fueron mas altos en las personas obesas (2,52 +/- 0,31 micromol/L) que en las mujeres eutroficas (2,13 +/- 0,26 micromol/L; p = 0,000). Por otro lado, se observaron valores TEAC mas bajos en los obesos (0,75 +/- 0,06 mM/L) que en el grupo eutrofico (0,78 +/- 0,04 mM/L; p = 0,009). Despues de la intervencion con te verde, la MDA disminuyo 4.7% y el TEAC aumento 10%. Los niveles sericos de interleucina-6 (IL-6) disminuyeron 12.7% despues del tratamiento (p = 0,03). Conclusiones: a) mujeres obesas tienen menor capacidad antioxidante que las eutrofica; y b) la suplementacion con te verde mejora TEAC y MDA y redujo los niveles sericos de IL-6 en mujeres obesas. + Language: Spanish +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (IL6 protein, human). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Tea). 4Y8F71G49Q (Malondialdehyde). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.20960%2fnh.2159 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Noronha&issn=0212-1611&title=Nutricion+Hospitalaria&atitle=La+suplementacion+con+te+verde+mejora+los+biomarcadores+del+estres+oxidativo+y+modula+los+niveles+de+IL-6+de+la+circulacion+en+mujeres+obesas.&volume=36&issue=3&spage=583&epage=588&date=2019&doi=10.20960%2Fnh.2159&pmid=31192690&sid=OVID:medline + +<1634> +Unique Identifier + 31192365 +Title + Ingestion of a Synbiotic Pasta by Those with Elevated Blood Sugar and Body Mass Index Results in Health Benefits. +Source + Journal of Nutrition. 149(10):1687-1689, 2019 10 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Whisner CM +Authors Full Name + Whisner, Corrie M. +Institution + Whisner, Corrie M.

Among the several mechanisms proposed to account for the complex interplay between vitamin D and obesity, one that has gained particular attention is related to the emerging role of obesity-related changes in gut microbiota and gut-derived metabolites, such as Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). Vitamin D deficiency and high circulating TMAO levels are associated with body weight and the severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Considering the link of obesity with vitamin D on the one hand and obesity with TMAO on the other hand, and the central role of the liver in both the vitamin D and TMAO metabolism, the aim of this cross-sectional observational study was first, to confirm the possible inverse association between vitamin D and TMAO across different body mass index (BMI) classes and second, to investigate if this association could be influenced by the presence of NAFLD. One hundred and four adult subjects (50 males and 54 females; 35.38 +/- 7.49 years) were enrolled. The fatty liver index (FLI) was used as a proxy for the diagnosis of NAFLD. Vitamin D deficiency was found in 65 participants (62.5%), while 33 subjects (31.7%) had insufficient levels, and the remaining subjects had sufficient levels of vitamin D. Subjects with both vitamin D deficiency and FLI-NAFLD had the highest TMAO levels (p < 0.001). By stratifying the sample population according to the BMI classes, vitamin D levels decreased significantly along with the increase of plasma TMAO concentrations, with the lowest vitamin D levels and highest TMAO, respectively, in class III obesity. Vitamin D levels showed significant opposite associations with circulating levels of TMAO (r = -0.588, p < 0.001), but this association was no longer significant after the adjustment for FLI values. The highest values of TMAO were significantly associated with the severity of obesity (OR 7.92; p < 0.001), deficiency of vitamin D (OR 1.62; p < 0.001), and FLI-NAFLD (OR 3.79; p < 0.001). The most sensitive and specific cut-off for vitamin D to predict the circulating levels of TMAO was <=19.83 ng/mL (p < 0.001). In conclusion, our study suggests that high TMAO levels are associated with vitamin D deficiency and NAFLD. Further studies are required to investigate if there is a causality link or whether all of them are simply the consequence of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Methylamines). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D).

However, it is unclear how thyroid hormone concentrations relate to body weight and its impact on metabolic risk markers. This study aimed to assess how thyroid function is linked to underweight, overweight, or obesity, and metabolic risk markers in adults. + + METHODS: A total of 16,975 subjects, aged 18-80 years, who attended the Health Management Center of Tongji Hospital, Wuhan, China were enrolled in this study. Anthropometric and laboratory data were collected and analyzed. + + RESULTS: Serum free triiodothyronine (fT3) and fT3/free thyroxine (fT4) ratio (fT3/fT4) were positively associated with body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.001), while there was a negative relationship between fT4 and BMI (P < 0.001) according to multivariable regression analysis adjusted for age and sex. Associations between thyroid hormone concentrations and markers of blood pressure, and lipid and glucose metabolism were identified after adjustment for age, sex, and BMI, with TSH being negatively associated with fasting blood glucose (FBG). fT3 was positively associated with systolic blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, while fT4 was positively associated with diastolic blood pressure, FBG, and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and negatively associated with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and triglyceride. Finally, fT3/fT4 was positively associated with HbA1c and triglyceride, and negatively associated with HDL-C. + + CONCLUSIONS: Overweight or obese participants had a high serum concentration of fT3, high fT3/fT4 ratio, and a low concentration of fT4. Underweight participants had high concentrations of fT4 and low concentrations of fT3. Thus, relationships between thyroid hormones and metabolic risk markers were identified which suggest that thyroid function might be one factor that influences body weight and the co-morbidities of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Thyroid Hormones). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1186%2fs12902-019-0383-2 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Xu&issn=1472-6823&title=BMC+Endocrine+Disorders&atitle=Thyroid+function%2C+body+mass+index%2C+and+metabolic+risk+markers+in+euthyroid+adults%3A+a+cohort+study.&volume=19&issue=1&spage=58&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1186%2Fs12902-019-0383-2&pmid=31174521&sid=OVID:medline + +<1637> +Unique Identifier + 31174495 +Title + Impact of body mass index and fat distribution on sex steroid levels in endometrial carcinoma: a retrospective study. +Source + BMC Cancer. 19(1):547, 2019 Jun 07. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + van Weelden WJ; Fasmer KE; Tangen IL; IntHout J; Abbink K; van Herwaarden AE; Krakstad C; Massuger LFAG; Haldorsen IS; Pijnenborg JMA +Author NameID + van Weelden, Willem Jan; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5413-9556 +Authors Full Name + van Weelden, Willem Jan; Fasmer, Kristine Eldevik; Tangen, Ingvild L; IntHout, Joanna; Abbink, Karin; van Herwaarden, Antionius E; Krakstad, Camilla; Massuger, Leon F A G; Haldorsen, Ingfrid S; Pijnenborg, Johanna M A. +Institution + van Weelden, Willem Jan.

The relation between obesity and cancer is complicated and involves alterations in insulin metabolism, response to inflammation and alterations in estradiol metabolism. Visceral obesity is assumed to play the most important role in the first two mechanisms, but its role in estradiol metabolism is unclear. Therefore, this retrospective study explores the relationship of body mass index (BMI), visceral fat volume (VAV) and subcutaneous fat volume (SAV) and serum levels of sex steroids and lipids in patients with endometrial cancer. + + METHODS: Thirty-nine postmenopausal EC patients with available BMI, blood serum and Computed Tomography (CT) scans were included. Serum was analyzed for estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), androstenedione, testosterone, cholesterol, triglycerides and high (HDL), low (LDL) and non-high density (NHDL) lipoprotein. VAV and SAV were quantified on abdominal CT scan images. Findings were interpreted using pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression with commonality analysis. + + RESULTS: Serum estradiol is moderately correlated with BMI (r = 0.62) and VAV (r = 0.58) and strongly correlated with SAV (r = 0.74) (p < 0.001 for all). SAV contributes more to estradiol levels than VAV (10.3% for SAV, 1.4% for VAV, 35.9% for SAV and VAV, p = 0.01). Other sex steroids and lipids have weak and moderate correlations with VAV or SAV. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that serum estradiol is correlated with BMI and other fat-distribution measures in postmenopausal endometrial cancer patients. Subcutaneous fat tissue contributes more to the estradiol levels indicating that subcutaneous fat might be relevant in endometrial cancer carcinogenesis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Gonadal Steroid Hormones). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1186%2fs12885-019-5770-6 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=van+Weelden&issn=1471-2407&title=BMC+Cancer&atitle=Impact+of+body+mass+index+and+fat+distribution+on+sex+steroid+levels+in+endometrial+carcinoma%3A+a+retrospective+study.&volume=19&issue=1&spage=547&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1186%2Fs12885-019-5770-6&pmid=31174495&sid=OVID:medline + +<1638> +Unique Identifier + 31170925 +Title + Joint associations of obesity and estimated GFR with clinical outcomes: a population-based cohort study. +Source + BMC Nephrology. 20(1):204, 2019 06 06. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Tonelli M; Wiebe N; Kovesdy CP; James MT; Klarenbach SW; Manns BJ; Hemmelgarn BR +Corporate Author + Alberta Kidney Disease Network +Authors Full Name + Tonelli, Marcello; Wiebe, Natasha; Kovesdy, Csaba P; James, Matthew T; Klarenbach, Scott W; Manns, Braden J; Hemmelgarn, Brenda R. +Institution + Tonelli, Marcello.

Obesity was defined by body mass index >=35 kg/m2 as defined by a fee modifier applied to an eligible procedure. + + RESULTS: We studied 1,293,362 participants, of whom 171,650 (13.3%) had documented obesity (BMI >= 35 kg/m2 based on claims data) and 1,121,712 (86.7%) did not. The association between eGFR and death was J-shaped for participants with and without documented obesity. After full adjustment, obesity tended to be associated with slightly lower odds of mortality (OR range 0.71-1.02; p for interaction between obesity and eGFR 0.008). For participants with and without obesity, the adjusted odds of ESRD were lowest for participants with eGFR > 90 mL/min*1.73m2 and increased with lower eGFR, with no evidence of an interaction with obesity (p = 0.37). Although albuminuria and obesity were both associated with higher odds of ESRD, the excess risk associated with obesity was substantially attenuated at higher levels of albuminuria (p for interaction 0.0006). The excess risk of MI associated with obesity was observed at eGFR > 60 mL/min*1.73m2 but not at lower eGFR (p for interaction < 0.0001). Participants with obesity had a higher adjusted likelihood of placement in long-term care than those without, and the likelihood of such placement was higher at lower eGFR for those with and without obesity (p for interaction = 0.57). + + CONCLUSIONS: We found significant interactions between obesity and eGFR and/or albuminuria on the likelihood of adverse outcomes including death and ESRD. Since obesity is common, risk prediction tools for people with CKD might be improved by adding information on BMI or other proxies for body size in addition to eGFR and albuminuria. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Previous studies also reported that low serum concentrations of AMY1 have been associated with obesity. The aimed of the study to assess the relationship between salivary amylase (AMY1) activity and body mass index (BMI) in Saudi male and female adults in Riyadh. This study included a total of 200 (100 individuals who were overweight and obese and 100 who had normal body weight [control individuals]) Saudi participants aged 20 to 50 years old. They were recruited from physical fitness clubs and were school employees in Riyadh City. The dietary food intake was assessed using a 24-hour dietary recall. The activity of the AMY1 was measured using a microplate fluorescence reader. A significant (P <= .05) increase was observed in the incidence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus (DM), and family history of overweight and obesity in overweight and obese individuals than in the control individuals, and these were in parallel to the significant increase in weight, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and BMI. A significant (P <= .05) increase was also observed in the carbohydrate and total fat dietary intake of overweight and obese individuals in relation to the respective dietary reference intake (DRI) values. AMY1 activity was significantly lower than the reference values in the overweight and obese group. Furthermore, AMY1 activity was significantly (P <= .05) reverse with weight, WC, HC, and BMI in both males and females in the overweight and obese group. In conclusion, the Saudi overweight and obese population seems to be at risk of low AMY1, which correlates with their obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

We assessed whether the diagnostic accuracy of LSM, Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), and NFS and strategies based on the combination of these tools is affected by obesity and/or ALT levels. + + METHODS: We analyzed data from 968 patients with a histological diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. FIB-4, NFS, and LSM by FibroScan were measured. + + RESULTS: LSM was better than both FIB-4 and NFS for staging F3-F4 fibrosis area under the receiver operating characteristic curve test (AUC) 0.863, 0.777, and 0.765, respectively; P < 0.001 for both), showing higher accuracy and higher negative predictive value (NPV), but lower positive predictive value (PPV). LSM worked less well in high ALT (>100 IU) (AUC 0.811 vs 0.877, P = 0.04; PPV 57.5% vs 62.4%; NPV 90.7% vs 94%) or obese patients (AUC 0.786 vs 0.902, P < 0.001; PPV 58.7% vs 64.8%; NPV 88.3% vs 95.2%), the latter not being affected by the M or XL probe. Consistently, LSM worked better in terms of AUC and accuracy compared with both FIB-4 and NFS only in nonobese or high ALT patients, even with always keeping a slightly lower PPV. A serial combination of FIB-4 or NFS with LSM as the second test in patients in the gray area of the first test retained-in most scenarios-similar PPV and NPV compared with LSM alone. These strategies also increased the diagnostic accuracy of about 20% in all groups of patients, even if with a lower overall accuracy in obese patients (71.3% and 67.1% for FIB-4 and NFS as the first test, respectively) compared to nonobese patients (81.9% and 82.4% for FIB-4 and NFS as the first test, respectively). + + CONCLUSIONS: All tested noninvasive tools have overall better NPV than PPV. LSM has a better diagnostic accuracy for advanced fibrosis than both FIB-4 and NFS only in nonobese and/or low ALT patients. Serial combination strategies are better than a single tool strategy, regardless of obesity and ALT levels, although the accuracy is lower in obese patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Women were divided into groups of good and poor glycemic control, defined as a mean daily glucose of up to 95 mg/dL (N = 230) and more than 95 mg/dL (N = 216), respectively. In addition, a control group of women without GDM (N = 352) was also analyzed. The primary outcomes were the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, hypertension, or dyslipidemia. + + RESULTS: Mean follow-up time was 15.8 +/- 5.1 years. Assessment was performed at a maternal age of 45 +/- 7 years. The rates of the study outcomes in the control, GDM with good glycemic control and GDM with poor glycemic control were as follows: T2DM [19 (5.4%), 87 (38%), 127 (57%)]; hypertension [44 (13%), 42 (18%), 44 (20%)]; obesity [111 (32%), 112 (48%), 129 (58%)]; and dyslipidemia [49 (14%), 67 (29%), 106 (48%)]. Glycemic control was an independent risk factor for T2DM in multivariate Cox regression analysis (hazard ratio (HR) for poor glycemic control vs. controls 10.7 95% CI [6.0-19.0], good glycemic control vs. control HR 6.0 [3.3-10.8], and poor glycemic control vs. good glycemic control HR 1.8 [1.3-2.4]). Glycemic control was also an independent risk factor for dyslipidemia (poor glycemic control vs. controls HR 3.7 [2.3-5.8], good glycemic control vs. controls HR 2.0 [1.2-3.2], and poor glycemic control vs. good glycemic control HR 1.8 1.8 [1.3-2.6]). The fasting glucose level during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was also an independent risk factor for these complications. The interaction term between glycemic control and the fasting value of the OGTT was not statistically significant, suggesting that the effect of glycemic control on the rate of future T2DM and dyslipidemia was not modified by the baseline severity of GDM. + + CONCLUSION: GDM and especially poor glycemic control are associated with T2DM and dyslipidemia. Strict glycemic control for reducing that risk should be evaluated in prospective trials. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Forty-one healthy sedentary overweight (body mass index [BMI] 25-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (BMI >=30) volunteers, aged 30-65 y and low consumers of fruit and vegetables, ate 1 serving/d of whole-grain control (CTR) or innovative (INN) pasta for 12 wk and maintained their habitual diets. Biological samples were collected at baseline and every 4 wk for primary (plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP] and fasting plasma lipid profile) and secondary outcomes (glycemia-related markers, blood pressure, fecal microbiota composition, and body weight). Between (CTR compared with INN) and within (among weeks) group differences were tested for the whole population and for subgroups stratified by baseline values of BMI (>=30) and glycemia (>=100 mg/dL). + + RESULTS: INN or CTR pasta consumption had no effect on primary and secondary outcomes over time, except for a significant increase in plasma gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) after 12 wk of CTR pasta consumption. Comparisons between intervention groups revealed differences only at 12 wk: plasma GGT was higher in the CTR group; plasma hs-CRP, plasma LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio, and Bifidobacterium spp. were lower in the INN subgroup of obese volunteers; plasma resistin was lower and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii abundance was higher in the INN subgroup of hyperglycemic volunteers. + + CONCLUSIONS: A daily serving of a synbiotic whole-grain pasta had limited effects on primary and secondary outcomes in the entire group of volunteers but affected glycemia- and lipid-related markers and resistin in a subgroup of healthy obese or hyperglycemic volunteers.

Galectin-3 is higher in overweight and obese individuals; whether an association with diabetes exists independent of weight is unknown. + + OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if galectin-3 is associated with diabetes mellitus. + + DESIGN: We performed measurements of galectin-3 among participants in the Dallas Heart Study (DHS) Phases 1 and 2 (DHS-1 and DHS-2; n = 3392, and n = 3194, respectively). Of these, 1989 participants were evaluated longitudinally in both studies. Associations of galectin-3 with prevalent and incident type 2 diabetes were determined using logistic regression models. Associations of galectin-3 with relevant biomarkers and fat compartments were evaluated using Spearman correlation coefficients and multivariable linear regression models, respectively. + + SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: DHS is a population-based, single-site, multiethnic study conducted in Dallas County, Texas, with oversampling to comprise 50% blacks. + + RESULTS: Galectin-3 levels were associated with diabetes prevalence in DHS-1 [OR 1.56 per SD change in log-galectin (95% CI 1.41 to 1.73)] and DHS-2 [OR 1.86 (95% CI 1.67 to 2.06)]. Galectin-3 levels in DHS-1 also associated with incident diabetes mellitus over the 7.1 (interquartile range 6.6 to 7.6)-year follow-up period [OR 1.34 (95% CI 1.14 to 1.58)]. These associations maintained significance in models adjusted for traditional metabolic risk factors (age, sex, race, body mass index, and hypertension) and renal function. Galectin-3 levels correlated with levels of biomarkers implicated in inflammation (high-sensitivity C-reactive peptide, IL-18, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, soluble TNF receptor 1A, myeloperoxidase), insulin secretion (C-peptide and C-peptide/homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance), and subcutaneous adiposity. + + CONCLUSIONS: Galectin-3 is associated with diabetes prevalence and incidence, possibly through the inflammatory pathway contributing to beta-cell fibrosis and impaired insulin secretion.

Each group was re-divided to begin the 5-week treatment, totalizing four experimental groups: C, C-L (C plus linagliptin, 30 mg/kg body mass; BM), HF, and HF-L (HF plus linagliptin, 30 mg/kg BM). The drug was mixed with diet. + + RESULTS: HF animals showed overweight, glucose intolerance, and a greater cross-sectional area of adipocytes. The treatment with linagliptin was able to normalize the BM, restore the glucose tolerance and the cross-sectional area of adipocytes. These observations comply with the observation of UCP1-positive multilocular adipocytes in the sWAT of treated animals. Both treated groups (C-L and HF-L) showed high expression of thermogenic and type 2 cytokines genes, which agree with the enhanced body temperature and the lower respiratory exchange ratio, implying enhanced thermogenesis with the use of lipids as fuel. + + CONCLUSIONS: The reduced BM, the enhanced body temperature, and the presence of positive UCP1 beige cells in the sWAT point to the activation of the browning cascade on the sWAT of linagliptin-treated mice, and hence, linagliptin could induce the thermogenic pathway as a pleiotropic effect that can have translational potential. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dipeptidyl-Peptidase IV Inhibitors). 0 (Insulin). 3X29ZEJ4R2 (Linagliptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Adiponectin is a hormone that is secreted by adipose tissue and may play an important role in obesity-related morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate total adiponectin levels in overweight and obese UAE subjects visiting health care facilities for weight management. + + METHODS: All overweight and obese subjects visiting community health centers were invited to take part in the study. Two hundred and six participants received individualized structured dietary education for weight management. Demographic data, anthropometric measurements and fasting venous blood samples were taken for measurements of total adiponectin and markers of inflammation and nutritional status at baseline and follow up. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine the independent effects of prognostic factors on serum adiponectin levels. + + RESULTS: A total of 193 (93%) females with a mean age (+/-SD) 36 +/- 11 years were included in the analysis. During a follow up period of 427 +/- 223 days, participants received 13 +/- 5 structured dietary education sessions. We observed decreased levels of total adiponectin with increasing quartiles of both waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI). Male gender and history of both gestational and type 2 diabetes were associated with significantly lower total adiponectin levels (p < 0.05). After adjusting for age, gender, BMI and hip circumference, multiple regression analysis revealed a significant and independent association between waist circumference and total adiponectin levels. At follow up visceral fat loss was associated with a significant decrease in inflammatory markers and a non-significant increase in total adiponectin levels. + + CONCLUSION: Increased visceral fat in overweight and obese subjects is associated with decreased total adiponectin levels. The health benefits of increasing adiponectin levels using different dietary intervention strategies need to be explored in larger studies. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01691365 , registered on 11/09/2012. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1186%2fs12902-019-0386-z +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Gariballa&issn=1472-6823&title=BMC+Endocrine+Disorders&atitle=Total+adiponectin+in+overweight+and+obese+subjects+and+its+response+to+visceral+fat+loss.&volume=19&issue=1&spage=55&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1186%2Fs12902-019-0386-z&pmid=31159801&sid=OVID:medline + +<1646> +Unique Identifier + 31154828 +Title + Revisiting the obesity paradox in heart failure: Per cent body fat as predictor of biomarkers and outcome. +Source + European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. 26(16):1751-1759, 2019 11. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Aimo A; Januzzi JL Jr; Vergaro G; Clerico A; Latini R; Meessen J; Anand IS; Cohn JN; Gravning J; Ueland T; Nymo SH; Brunner-La Rocca HP; Bayes-Genis A; Lupon J; de Boer RA; Yoshihisa A; Takeishi Y; Egstrup M; Gustafsson I; Gaggin HK; Eggers KM; Huber K; Tentzeris I; Ripoli A; Passino C; Emdin M +Authors Full Name + Aimo, Alberto; Januzzi, James L Jr; Vergaro, Giuseppe; Clerico, Aldo; Latini, Roberto; Meessen, Jennifer; Anand, Inder S; Cohn, Jay N; Gravning, Jorgen; Ueland, Thor; Nymo, Stale H; Brunner-La Rocca, Hans-Peter; Bayes-Genis, Antoni; Lupon, Josep; de Boer, Rudolf A; Yoshihisa, Akiomi; Takeishi, Yasuchika; Egstrup, Michael; Gustafsson, Ida; Gaggin, Hanna K; Eggers, Kai M; Huber, Kurt; Tentzeris, Ioannis; Ripoli, Andrea; Passino, Claudio; Emdin, Michele. +Institution + Aimo, Alberto.

We assessed whether another anthropometric measure, per cent body fat (PBF), reveals different associations with outcome and heart failure biomarkers (NT-proBNP, high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT), soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2)). + + METHODS: In an individual patient dataset, BMI was calculated as weight (kg)/height (m) 2 , and PBF through the Jackson-Pollock and Gallagher equations. + + RESULTS: Out of 6468 patients (median 68 years, 78% men, 76% ischaemic heart failure, 90% reduced ejection fraction), 24% died over 2.2 years (1.5-2.9), 17% from cardiovascular death. Median PBF was 26.9% (22.4-33.0%) with the Jackson-Pollock equation, and 28.0% (23.8-33.5%) with the Gallagher equation, with an extremely strong correlation (r = 0.996, p < 0.001). Patients in the first PBF tertile had the worst prognosis, while patients in the second and third tertile had similar survival. The risks of all-cause and cardiovascular death decreased by up to 36% and 27%, respectively, per each doubling of PBF. Furthermore, prognosis was better in the second or third PBF tertiles than in the first tertile regardless of model variables. Both BMI and PBF were inverse predictors of NT-proBNP, but not hs-TnT. In obese patients (BMI >= 30 kg/m2, third PBF tertile), hs-TnT and sST2, but not NT-proBNP, independently predicted outcome. + + CONCLUSION: In parallel with increasing BMI or PBF there is an improvement in patient prognosis and a decrease in NT-proBNP, but not hs-TnT or sST2. hs-TnT or sST2 are stronger predictors of outcome than NT-proBNP among obese patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (Troponin T). 0 (pro-brain natriuretic peptide (1-76)). 114471-18-0 (Natriuretic Peptide, Brain). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1177%2f2047487319852809 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Aimo&issn=2047-4873&title=European+Journal+of+Preventive+Cardiology&atitle=Revisiting+the+obesity+paradox+in+heart+failure%3A+Per+cent+body+fat+as+predictor+of+biomarkers+and+outcome.&volume=26&issue=16&spage=1751&epage=1759&date=2019&doi=10.1177%2F2047487319852809&pmid=31154828&sid=OVID:medline + +<1647> +Unique Identifier + 31152776 +Title + Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) as biomarkers of subclinical atherosclerosis in women. +Source + Experimental Gerontology. 124:110624, 2019 09. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Basurto L; Gregory MA; Hernandez SB; Sanchez-Huerta L; Martinez AD; Manuel-Apolinar L; Avelar FJ; Alonso LAM; Sanchez-Arenas R +Authors Full Name + Basurto, Lourdes; Gregory, Michael A; Hernandez, Susana Barrera; Sanchez-Huerta, Lucero; Martinez, Alma Diaz; Manuel-Apolinar, Leticia; Avelar, Francisco J; Alonso, Laura Alejandra Mejia; Sanchez-Arenas, Rosalinda. +Institution + Basurto, Lourdes.

Proinflammatory biochemical factors can influence vascular health; monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is elevated in patients with CVD while fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) acts directly on cardiac tissue to reduce infarction damage. However, the relationship between plasma concentrations of MCP-1, FGF-21 and subclinical CVD indices remains equivocal. + + AIM: To determine the association between MCP-1, FGF-21 and subclinical atherosclerosis [i.e., carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT)] in women without clinical evidence of CVD. + + METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis of 140 women without history of CVD was performed. Anthropometrics were collected, serum concentrations of MCP-1 and FGF-21 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and cIMT was quantified (B-mode ultrasonography). The correlations between MCP-1, FGF-21 and the presence of clinical and laboratory of subclinical atherosclerosis (i.e., cIMT >=0.70mm), comparison intergroup and odd ratio with multiple logistic regression were analyzed. + + RESULTS: MCP-1, but not FGF-21 correlated with some obesity indicators. In median comparison among groups, subclinical atherosclerosis showed higher serum concentrations of MCP-1and lower serum concentrations of FGF-21. In postmenopausal women, there were significant differences MCP-1 (p=0.001), and FGF-21 (p=0.010). Multiple logistic regression analysis in postmenopausal women with subclinical atherosclerosis, between MCP-1 (p=0.001) and FGF-21 (p=0.037) showed association with cIMT, along with age. + + CONCLUSIONS: MCP-1 and FGF-21 levels are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis disease severity (i.e., cIMT) in postmenopausal women without CVD. Further efforts focused on characterizing the relationship between novel blood-borne markers of early CVD pathology are warranted and should be pursued. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

In this study, we hypothesized that Brazil nut intake modulates circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in obese women and aimed to evaluate the effects of this nut intake on circulating miRNAs in women with obesity or metabolic syndrome (MetS). A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 54 subjects recruited from the Clinical Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups: a Brazil nut group (BN group, n=29) and a control group (CO group, n=25); both were monitored for 2months. BN group members were instructed to consume 1 Brazil nut (approximately 1261mug/Se) per day; CO group members were instructed not to consume any. Biochemical parameters related to Se status and 25 circulating miRNAs in plasma were evaluated in all patients both at baseline and after 2months. Expression levels of 2 miRNAs (miR-454-3p and miR-584-5p) were significantly increased after Brazil nut intake. To investigate the effect of MetS on circulating miRNAs at baseline, we performed comparisons between women with MetS (n=23) and women without MetS (others, n=31). Circulating miR-375 levels were significantly lower (P=.012) in women with MetS. In conclusion, our findings suggested that a daily intake of 1 Brazil nut increased circulating miR-454-3p and miR-584-5p expression levels in obese women, and our network analysis indicated a link between Se intake, vitamin D metabolism, and calcium homeostasis.

Methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Pediatric Diabetic Clinic at Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Clalit Health Care Services. Background information was taken from the patients' files. Anthropometric measures, blood pressure, waist and hip circumference (WC and HC), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and lipid profile were recorded. The prevalence of metabolic derangements was compared between normal and overweight children. Results The study included 96 patients with type 1 diabetes, mean age 14.1 +/- 3.7 years, mean diabetes duration 3.9 +/- 3 and mean HbA1c level 8.1 +/- 1.4% (65 mmol/mol). Thirty-seven percent of the study population were overweight and of them 11.5% were obese. In the overweight group, the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were significantly lower and systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) values were higher compared with normal weight participants. Multivariate analysis showed that BMI and age at study affected SBP and HDL levels, while age at study and HbA1c levels affected DBP. Female patients were significantly overweight compared to males and had higher low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and cholesterol levels. Waist-to-hip ratio, an indicator of central obesity, was abnormally high among overweight males and females. Conclusions In our cohort of children with type 1 diabetes, there were a significant number of overweight children, with a higher prevalence in females. Components of metabolic syndrome were more prevalent among overweight and obese diabetic individuals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1515%2fjpem-2018-0483 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Sevaliev&issn=0334-018X&title=Journal+of+Pediatric+Endocrinology+%26+Metabolism&atitle=The+metabolic+consequences+of+overweight+in+a+cohort+of+children+with+type+1+diabetes.&volume=32&issue=7&spage=715&epage=719&date=2019&doi=10.1515%2Fjpem-2018-0483&pmid=31150359&sid=OVID:medline + +<1650> +Unique Identifier + 31144432 +Title + Association of lifestyle factors and inflammation with sarcopenic obesity: data from the PREDIMED-Plus trial. +Source + Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle. 10(5):974-984, 2019 10. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Abete I; Konieczna J; Zulet MA; Galmes-Panades AM; Ibero-Baraibar I; Babio N; Estruch R; Vidal J; Toledo E; Razquin C; Bartolome R; Diaz-Lopez A; Fiol M; Casas R; Vera J; Buil-Cosiales P; Pinto X; Corbella E; Portillo MP; de Paz JA; Martin V; Daimiel L; Goday A; Rosique-Esteban N; Salas-Salvado J; Romaguera D; Martinez JA +Author NameID + Konieczna, Jadwiga; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2947-1338 + Zulet, M Angeles; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3926-0892 +Corporate Author + PREDIMED-PLUS Investigators +Authors Full Name + Abete, Itziar; Konieczna, Jadwiga; Zulet, M Angeles; Galmes-Panades, Aina M; Ibero-Baraibar, Idoia; Babio, Nancy; Estruch, Ramon; Vidal, Josep; Toledo, Estefania; Razquin, Cristina; Bartolome, Rafael; Diaz-Lopez, Andres; Fiol, Miquel; Casas, Rosa; Vera, Josep; Buil-Cosiales, Pilar; Pinto, Xavier; Corbella, Emili; Portillo, Maria Puy; de Paz, Jose Antonio; Martin, Vicente; Daimiel, Lidia; Goday, Albert; Rosique-Esteban, Nuria; Salas-Salvado, Jordi; Romaguera, Dora; Martinez, J Alfredo. +Institution + Abete, Itziar.

Muscle wasting is often accompanied by an increase in body fat, leading to 'sarcopenic obesity'. The aim of the present study was to analyse the association of lifestyle variables such as diet, dietary components, physical activity (PA), body composition, and inflammatory markers, with the risk of sarcopenic obesity. + + METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis based on baseline data from the PREDIMED-Plus study was performed. A total of 1535 participants (48% women) with overweight/obesity (body mass index: 32.5 +/- 3.3 kg/m2 ; age: 65.2 +/- 4.9 years old) and metabolic syndrome were categorized according to sex-specific tertiles (T) of the sarcopenic index (SI) as assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning. Anthropometrical measurements, biochemical markers, dietary intake, and PA information were collected. Linear regression analyses were carried out to evaluate the association between variables. + + RESULTS: Subjects in the first SI tertile were older, less physically active, showed higher frequency of abdominal obesity and diabetes, and consumed higher saturated fat and less vitamin C than subjects from the other two tertiles (all P < 0.05). Multiple adjusted linear regression models evidenced significant positive associations across tertiles of SI with adherence to the Mediterranean dietary score (P-trend < 0.05), PA (P-trend < 0.0001), and the 30 s chair stand test (P-trend < 0.0001), whereas significant negative associations were found with an inadequate vitamin C consumption (P-trend < 0.05), visceral fat and leucocyte count (all P-trend < 0.0001), and some white cell subtypes (neutrophils and monocytes), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet count (all P-trend < 0.05). When models were additionally adjusted by potential mediators (inflammatory markers, diabetes, and waist circumference), no relevant changes were observed, only dietary variables lost significance. + + CONCLUSIONS: Diet and PA are important regulatory mediators of systemic inflammation, which is directly involved in the sarcopenic process. A healthy dietary pattern combined with exercise is a promising strategy to limit age-related sarcopenia. Copyright © 2019 The Authors.

The control rats were fed a normal diet. The food consumption, body weight, locomotor activity, serum lipids, adipose tissues, nitric oxide (NO) expression, leptin, neuropeptide Y (NPY), cholecystokinin (CCK) in the brains were measured. + + RESULTS: In the HFD-fed rats, body weight, body fat mass, serum levels of leptin and NO were significantly higher than in the control rats (P<0.05 or P<0.01). However, the treatment of Rd, Re, and Rb1 markedly decreased body fat mass and body weight (P<0.05). The serum level of leptin and NO in ginsenoside-treated rats were markedly lower than the control group (P<0.01). The expression of NPY and CCK in the hypothalamic nuclei showed insignificant difference among groups. However, the expression of NPY immunoreactive neurons in the hypothalamus was significantly reduced in the Rb1-treated group (P<0.05). + + CONCLUSION: PD-type ginsenoside Rb1 from the crude saponins of KRG may be a useful compound for the treatment of obesity and related disorders through the modulation of peripheral and central appetite-regulating signals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Ginsenosides). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs11655-019-3200-x +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Park&issn=1672-0415&title=Chinese+Journal+of+Integrative+Medicine&atitle=Anti-obesity+Effects+of+Ginsenosides+in+High-Fat+Diet-Fed+Rats.&volume=25&issue=12&spage=895&epage=901&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs11655-019-3200-x&pmid=31144161&sid=OVID:medline + +<1652> +Unique Identifier + 31141980 +Title + Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Their Association with Vitamin D Deficiency in Mexican Women of Reproductive Age. +Source + Nutrients. 11(6), 2019 May 28. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Contreras-Manzano A; Villalpando S; Garcia-Diaz C; Flores-Aldana M +Author NameID + Contreras-Manzano, Alejandra; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1576-5922 + Villalpando, Salvador; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6429-3816 + Flores-Aldana, Mario; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5522-6849 +Authors Full Name + Contreras-Manzano, Alejandra; Villalpando, Salvador; Garcia-Diaz, Claudia; Flores-Aldana, Mario. +Institution + Contreras-Manzano, Alejandra.

To this end, we obtained sociodemographic, serum and anthropometric data from the 2012 National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT 2012). Analyses were developed through logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounders. The prevalence of VDD was significantly higher in obese women (42.5%, 95% CI; 37.3-47.9) compared to women with a normal body mass index (29.9%, 95% CI; 23.5-37.1, p = 0.05), in those with high total cholesterol (TC) (45.6% 95% CI; 39.4-51.9) compared to those with normal TC levels (33.9%, 95% CI 30-38.1, p = 0.03), and in those with insulin resistance (IR) (44%, 95% CI; 36.9-51.7) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (58.6%, 95% CI 46.9-69.4) compared to those with normal glycemia (no insulin resistance: 34.7%, 95% CI; 30.9-38.8, p = 0.04 and no T2DM: 34.9%, 95% CI 31.4-38.6, p < 0.001). Utilizing individual models to estimate cardiovascular risk according to VDD, we found that the odds of being obese (odds ratio, OR: 1.53, 95% CI 1.02-2.32, p = 0.05), or having high TC levels (OR: 1.43, 95% CI; 1.05-2.01, p = 0.03), T2DM (OR: 2.64, 95% CI; 1.65-4.03, p < 0.001), or IR (OR: 1.48, 95% CI 1.04-2.10, p = 0.026) were significantly higher in women with VDD (p < 0.05). Odds were not statistically significant for overweight, high blood pressure, sedentarism, AMI, high serum concentration of triglycerides, homocysteine, or C-reactive protein models. In conclusion, our results indicate that young Mexican women with VDD show a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Lipids). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D).

However, no consensus exists on the best models to study these syndromes. Knowing that different diets can precipitate different metabolic disease phenotypes, herein we characterized several hypercaloric rat models of obesity and type 2 diabetes, comparing each with a genetic model, with the aim of identifying the most appropriate model of metabolic disease. The effect of hypercaloric diets (high fat (HF), high sucrose (HSu), high fat plus high sucrose (HFHSu) and high fat plus streptozotocin (HF+STZ) during different exposure times (HF 3 weeks, HF 19 weeks, HSu 4 weeks, HSu 16 weeks, HFHSu 25 weeks, HF3 weeks + STZ) were compared with the Zucker fatty rat. Each model was evaluated for weight gain, fat mass, fasting plasma glucose, insulin and C-peptide, insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, lipid profile and liver lipid deposition, blood pressure, and autonomic nervous system function. All animal models presented with insulin resistance and dyslipidemia except the HF+STZ and HSu 4 weeks, which argues against the use of these models as metabolic syndrome models. Of the remaining animal models, a higher weight gain was exhibited by the Zucker fatty rat and wild type rats submitted to a HF diet for 19 weeks. We conclude that the latter model presents a phenotype most consistent with that observed in humans with metabolic disease, exhibiting the majority of the phenotypic features and comorbidities associated with type 2 diabetes in humans. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Dietary Sucrose). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

However, little is known about the specific interrelationships between these compounds and whether their effects on infant growth may be influenced by pre-pregnancy weight status. + + OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this novel, prospective cohort study was to assess the interrelationships between pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6), hormones (insulin, leptin) and PUFAs (n-6, n-3) in blood and breastmilk in early postpartum between women with normal BMI (Group 1, n = 18; 18.5=25.0 kg/m2) before pregnancy to determine if these components correlated to infant growth measures at age 4-8 weeks. + + METHODS: Participants were robustly phenotyped along with their infants at 4-8 weeks postpartum. TNF-alpha, IL-6, insulin, leptin, and n-3 and n-6 PUFAs measured in blood and breastmilk and compared between pre-pregnancy BMI groups and with infant weight, length, head circumference and % fat mass. + + RESULTS: Group 1 women had higher serum leptin (p<0.01) and breastmilk leptin (p<0.001) compared to Group 2. Other inflammatory markers, hormones, and total n-6, n-3 and n-6/n-3 ratio PUFAs were similar between pre-pregnancy BMI groups. No relationships were observed between whey inflammatory markers, hormones, PUFAs and growth measures in infants born to Group 2 women. However, TNF-alpha was positively related and, IL-6, leptin, insulin, total n-6, n-3 and n-6/n-3 PUFAs in whey breastmilk were negatively correlated to infant growth measures in infants born to Group 1 women (p<0.01). + + CONCLUSIONS: Pro-inflammatory qualities of breastmilk were associated with infant growth measures regardless of maternal pre-pregnancy BMI. However, infants born to women with overweight or obesity demonstrated less responsive growth to breastmilk contents. More studies are needed to assess longitudinal effects of this impact. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids, Unsaturated). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Serum BAs were assayed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. + + RESULTS: At 24 weeks, HbA1c was significantly reduced in both groups, but the HbA1c levels were lower in the OW/OB than NW group. Moreover, significant decreases were seen at 24 weeks in C-reactive protein (CRP), aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, waist circumference, and systolic blood pressure in the OW/OB group. Interestingly, cholic acid, glycocholic acid, glycochenodeoxycholic acid, glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA), and glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDCA) were increased in both groups after treatment, whereas chenodeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid (DCA) were specifically increased in the OW/OB group. Increased DCA and GDCA concentrations were significantly associated with decreased HbA1c or fasting blood glucose and CRP levels, whereas increased GDCA and GUDCA concentrations were associated with decreased waist circumference in the OW/OB group during treatment. In the NW group, increased GUDCA concentrations were significantly associated with a decrease in HbA1c. + + CONCLUSIONS: Type 2 diabetes patients with OW/OB exhibited greater improvement in glycemic control and additional metabolic benefits after saxagliptin treatment. Saxagliptin significantly increased the BA pool, and DCA and GDCA were associated with metabolic improvements in OW/OB T2D patients.

We investigated to what extent markers of inflammation mediate associations between overall and visceral body fat and subclinical atherosclerosis. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: In this cross-sectional analysis of the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity study we estimated total body fat (TBF) by bio-impedance analysis, carotid artery intima media thickness (cIMT) by ultrasound, C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and glycoprotein acetyls (GlycA) concentrations in fasting blood samples (n = 5627), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) by magnetic resonance imaging (n = 2247). We examined associations between TBF and VAT, and cIMT using linear regression, adjusted for potential confounding factors, and for mediators: cardiometabolic risk factors (blood pressure, glucose and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), and inflammation using CRP and GlycA as proxies. Mean (SD) cIMT was 615 (90) mum. Per SD of TBF (8%), cIMT was 19 mum larger (95% confidence interval, CI: 10, 28). This association was 17 mum (95% CI: 8, 27) after adjustment for cardiometabolic risk factors, and did not change after adjustment for markers of inflammation. Per SD (56 cm2) VAT, cIMT was 9 mum larger (95% CI: 2, 16) which changed to 5 mum (95% CI: -3, 12) after adjustment for cardiometabolic risk factors, and did not change after adjustment for inflammatory markers. + + CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that associations between measures of overall and visceral body fat and subclinical atherosclerosis are not mediated by inflammation as measured by CRP and GlycA. Obesity may exert cardiovascular risk via other markers of systemic inflammation.

Lifestyle and pharmacological treatments are usually prescribed for prevention. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), as an anti-atherogenic agent, is being taken into consideration due to its potential beneficial effects in lipid metabolism and its anti-inflammatory potency. To assess the effects of vitamin D3 in the postprandial lipid profile in obese, vitamin D-deficient women, a non-targeted lipidomics approach using liquid chromatography coupled to a quadrupole time-of flight mass spectrometer was used to identify and quantitate a wide-range of circulating lipid species, including diglycerides, lysophosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines, sphingomyelins and triglycerides. The most important changes were found in plasmatic sphingomyelin levels, which experience a decrease after vitamin D3 intake. Our results suggest a turnover of sphingomyelins, probably due to an increased activity of neutral sphingomyelinases, and, therefore, with implications in the clearance of chylomicrons, LDL and VLDL, decreasing postprandial inflammation and macrophage adherence to endothelia, potentially improving cardiovascular disease risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). 1C6V77QF41 (Cholecalciferol). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Plasma oxytocin levels were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassays. Height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FI), homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-C (HDL-C), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured in all subjects. Quantile regression analysis was used to analyse the associations of plasma oxytocin levels with FBG, FI, HOMA-IR, TG, TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, SBP, and DBP. + + RESULTS: In obese women of childbearing age, plasma oxytocin levels were lower compared with non-obese controls. After adjusting for age, quantile regression analysis showed that the plasma oxytocin levels were inversely associated with HOMA-IR at the quantile level between 0.27 and 0.79 (i.e. the HOMA-IR level of 2.11 and 3.07, respectively), the plasma oxytocin levels were inversely associated with TC after the quantile level of 0.21 (i.e. the TC level of 3.78 ), and the plasma oxytocin levels were inversely associated with LDL-C at all quantile levels of LDL-C. In addition, the plasma oxytocin levels showed a positive association with HDL-C at all quantile levels of HDL-C. No significant associations were found between the plasma oxytocin levels and FBG, FI, TG, SBP, and DBP. + + CONCLUSIONS: Oxytocin deficiency was common in obese women of childbearing age. Oxytocin showed negative correlation with HOMA-IR, TC, and LDL-C, while it showed positive association with HDL-C. Our findings suggest that oxytocin played an important role in inhibiting metabolic disorders associated with obesity in women of childbearing age. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Triglycerides). 50-56-6 (Oxytocin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.5603%2fEP.a2019.0028 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Fu-Man&issn=0423-104X&title=Endokrynologia+Polska&atitle=Associations+of+oxytocin+with+metabolic+parameters+in+obese+women+of+childbearing+age.&volume=70&issue=5&spage=417&epage=422&date=2019&doi=10.5603%2FEP.a2019.0028&pmid=31135057&sid=OVID:medline + +<1659> +Unique Identifier + 31132775 +Title + Indirect Effects of Body Mass Index Growth on Glucose Dysregulation via Inflammation: Causal Moderated Mediation Analysis. +Source + Obesity Facts. 12(3):316-327, 2019. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Fong TCT +Authors Full Name + Fong, Ted Chun Tat. +Institution + Fong, Ted Chun Tat.

This study evaluated whether C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammation biomarker, mediated the effects of growth (annual increase) in body mass index (BMI) on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). + + METHODS: BMI and biomarker data were used from wave I to wave IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health study; 4,545 adolescents; mean age = 14.9 years; 55.7% female) with valid CRP data. A causal moderated mediation analysis evaluated the direct and indirect effects of BMI slope on HbA1c via CRP across gender, with demographic and clinical characteristics as model covariates. + + RESULTS: The participants displayed a linear BMI growth of 0.53-0.58 kg/m2/year throughout adolescence, with substantial interindividual variation. The BMI slope showed positive direct and indirect effects on HbA1c via CRP across gender, and there was a significant exposure-mediator interaction effect. A standardized increase in the BMI slope raised the probability of an abnormal HbA1c value by 6.0-8.5% in participants with various profiles. The total natural indirect effect accounted for 13.3-15.9% of the total effect in males and 21.2-22.7% in females. + + CONCLUSIONS: The findings provide support for the inflammation mechanism in the effects of adiposity on glucose homeostasis.

We aimed to identify risk factors for lung cancer in patients from the Bergen COPD Cohort Study. + + METHODS: We compared 433 COPD patients with 279 healthy controls, all former or current smokers. All COPD patients had FEV1<80% and FEV1/FVC-ratio<0.7. Baseline predictors were sex, age, spirometry, body composition, smoking history, emphysema assessed by CT, chronic bronchitis, prior exacerbation frequency, Charlson Comorbidity Score, inhalation medication and 44 serum/plasma inflammatory biomarkers. Patients were followed up for 9 years recording incidence of lung cancer. Cox-regression models were fitted for the statistical analyses. The biomarkers were evaluated using principal component analysis. + + RESULTS: 28 COPD patients and 3 controls developed lung cancer, COPD patients had a significantly higher risk of developing lung cancer, (HR 5.0; 95% CI 1.5-17.1, p<0.01, adjusted values). Among COPD patients, emphysema (HR 4.4; 1.7-10.8, p<0.01) and obesity (HR 3.3; 1.3-8.5, p=0.02) were associated with a higher cancer rate. Use of inhaled steroids was associated with a lower rate (HR 0.4; 0.2-0.9, p=0.03). Smoking status, pack-years smoked or levels of systemic inflammatory markers, except for interferon gamma-induced protein 10, did not affect the lung cancer rate in patients with COPD. + + CONCLUSION: Patients with COPD have a higher lung cancer rate compared to healthy controls adjusted for smoking. The presence of emphysema and obesity in COPD predicted a higher lung cancer risk in COPD patients. Systemic inflammation was not associated with increased lung cancer risk.

Protein oxidative biomarkers were determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in AT from human volunteers before the surgery, as well as 2 months after a diet treatment in the animal model. + + RESULTS: The levels of carboxyethyl-lysine (CEL) and 2-succinocystein (2SC) in both visceral and subcutaneous AT before the surgery directly correlated with greater weight loss in both human and animal models. 2SC levels in subcutaneous AT greater than 4.7 x 106 mumol/mol lysine (95% CI: 3.4 x 106 to 6.0 x 106 ) may predict greater weight loss after bariatric surgery (receiver operating characteristic curve area = 0.8222; P = 0.0047). Additionally, it was observed that individuals with diabetes presented lower levels of CEL and 2SC in subcutaneous AT (P = 0.0266 and P = 0.0316, respectively) compared with individuals without diabetes. + + CONCLUSIONS: CEL and 2SC in AT are useful biomarkers of AT metabolism and predict the individual's ability to reduce body weight after bariatric surgery.

Blood glucose was measured preprandially and up to 150 min postprandially. + + RESULTS: Compared to CON, HIE reduced postprandial glucose concentrations at 120-150 min in obese (p < 0.001) and lean men (p < 0.05), with greater reductions in obese than lean subjects at 120 (-27.0% vs. -8.3%), 135 (-31.9% vs. -15.7%), and 150 min (-21.8% vs. -10.6%). The total glucose area under the curve (AUC) for the testing period was lower with HIE than CON among obese men (p < 0.05), but not lean men (p > 0.05). We found moderate correlations between body mass and postprandial glucose changes (r = 0.39-0.44, p < 0.05), and between glucose AUC and body mass and fat free mass (r = 0.39-0.48, p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that HIE may act as a time-efficient lifestyle intervention strategy for improving obesity-related diabetes risk factors, and might play a role in primary diabetes prevention for the healthy but sedentary population.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective treatment for obesity, but its effects on NAFLD are still to be firmly established. The diagnosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is currently performed by liver biopsy, a costly and invasive procedure. Squamous cell carcinoma antigen-IgM (SCCA-IgM) is a biomarker of viral hepatitis to hepatocellular carcinoma development and its role in NAFLD to NASH progression has not yet been investigated. + + OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate SCCA-IgM as a non-invasive biomarker of NAFLD/NASH in patients with different degrees of metabolic-complicated obesity before and after LSG. + + METHOD: Fifty-six patients with obesity were studied before and 12 months after LSG; anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and imaging data were collected. + + RESULTS: At baseline steatosis was strongly associated with the glycaemic profile (p = 0.016) and was already present in prediabetic patients with obesity (82%). Only 3 patients had an SCCA-IgM level above the normal cut-off. SCCA-IgM titre did not change according to glycaemic profile or steatosis. Metabolic and inflammatory factors and transaminases significantly reduced after LSG-induced weight loss, except for SCCA-IgM. The ALT/AST ratio decreased post-LSG correlated with BMI (r = 0.297, p = 0.031), insulin (r = 0.354, p = 0.014), and triglycerides (r = 0.355, p = 0.009) reduction. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our results confirm the tight link between NAFLD and metabolic complications, suggesting prediabetes as a new risk factor of steatosis. SCCA-IgM does not seem to have a role in the identification and prognosis of NAFLD. Copyright © 2019 The Author(s) Published by S.

We investigated a panel of adipokines and some related inflammatory factors alone and their ratios for their associative value at assessing cartilage volume loss over time and symptoms in obese [High body mass index (BMI)] and non-obese (Low BMI) OA subjects. + + DESIGN: Human OA serum was from the Osteoarthritis Initiative Progression subcohort. Baseline levels of adiponectin (high and low molecular weight forms), adipsin, chemerin, leptin, visfatin, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were evaluated with specific assays. Cartilage volume was assessed at baseline and 48 months by quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and symptoms using baseline Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores. Data were analysed by linear regression with confounding factors at baseline, followed by multiple comparison adjustment. + + RESULTS: The levels of the nine biomarkers and their ratios (36) were studied. Among High BMI subjects, only the ratio adipsin/MCP-1 was associated with cartilage volume loss over time in the lateral compartment [beta, -2.95; 95% confidence interval (CI), -4.42, -1.49; P = 0.010], whereas MCP-1 was associated with WOMAC pain (-1.74; -2.75, -0.73; P = 0.030) and the ratio CRP/MCP-1 with WOMAC pain (0.76; 0.37, 1.14; P = 0.023), function (2.43; 1.20, 3.67; P = 0.020) and total (3.29; 1.58, 5.00; P = 0.027). No associations were found for biomarkers or ratios in Low BMI OA. + + CONCLUSION: In this study, the ratio adipsin/MCP-1 was found to be associated with the knee structural changes and that of CRP/MCP-1 with symptoms in obese OA subjects. Our data further underline the relevance of ratios as biomarkers to a stronger association to OA progression and symptoms. Copyright © 2019 Osteoarthritis Research Society International.

Previous studies have reported inconclusive results regarding the effect of bariatric surgery on inflammatory markers. This systematic review and meta-analysis is aimed at describing the effect of bariatric surgery on C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). PubMed/Medline and Scopus were systematically searched for all eligible studies from inception to June 2018. Results are expressed as weighted mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using a random effects model. Overall, 116 studies which evaluated serum CRP, IL-6, and TNF-alpha after bariatric surgery were included. Pooled effect size showed significant reduction in serum CRP (- 5.30 mg/l, 95% CI - 5.46, - 5.15, P < 0.001), IL-6 (- 0.58 pg/ml, 95% CI - 0.64, - 0.53, P < 0.001), and TNF-alpha (- 0.20 pg/ml, 95% CI - 0.39, - 0.02, P = 0.031) with significant heterogeneity across studies (> 95% for all factors). Bariatric surgery significantly lowered inflammatory factors; however, baseline BMI, follow-up duration and type of surgery could impact the extent of observed effects. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Our objective was to evaluate whether changes in adipokine and inflammatory biomarker levels were related to lifestyle modification (with Mediterranean diet and physical exercise program). + + METHODS: 115 women (35-55 years) with BMI of 30-40 kg/m2 and <=1 metabolic syndrome criteria were included. After a 2-year intervention, participants were classified by percent weight loss: Group 1, <5%; Group 2, >=5%-<10%; and Group 3, >=10%. Anthropometric data, inflammatory biomarker (IL-6, TNFa, and hsCRP) and adipokine levels (adiponectin and resistin), and lifestyle program adherence at baseline and 2 years were analyzed. + + RESULTS: The final sample comprised 67 women. 23 (38.3%) lost <5%, 22 (36.7%) lost >=5%-<10%, and 22 (36.7%) lost >=10% of baseline weight. After 2 years, in Group 1, adiponectin, hsCRP, IL-6, and TNFa decreased (-1.2 ng/ml, p = 0.003; -2.1 mg/l, p = 0.003; -2.4 pg/ml, p < 0.001; and -2.4 pg/ml, p = 0.001, respectively) and resistin increased (+2.4 ng/ml, p < 0.001). In Group 2, hsCRP and IL-6 decreased (-2.0 mg/l, p = 0.009 and -2.6 pg/ml, p = 0.001) but TNFa increased (+0.2 pg/ml, p = 0.02). In Group 3, resistin increased (+3.5 ng/ml, p < 0.001) but hsCRP, IL-6, and TNFa decreased (-2.0 mg/l, p = 0.009; -2.5 pg/ml, p < 0.001; and -4.1 pg/ml, p < 0.001). Adiponectin, hsCRP, and physical exercise correlated significantly to subjects' dietary adherence. + + CONCLUSION: Weight loss reduces inflammatory biomarkers in the MHO but induces a deterioration in the adipokine profile, which does not improve with diet and exercise intervention. These findings allow us to clarify mechanisms behind inflammation and metabolic disorder genesis so as to prevent development of obesity-associated comorbidities. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1155%2f2019%2f4165260 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Gomez-Huelgas&issn=0962-9351&title=Mediators+of+Inflammation&atitle=Impact+of+Intensive+Lifestyle+Modification+on+Levels+of+Adipokines+and+Inflammatory+Biomarkers+in+Metabolically+Healthy+Obese+Women.&volume=2019&issue=&spage=4165260&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1155%2F2019%2F4165260&pmid=31093012&sid=OVID:medline + +<1667> +Unique Identifier + 31089732 +Title + Milk and Dairy Product Consumption and Inflammatory Biomarkers: An Updated Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials. +Source + Advances in Nutrition. 10(suppl_2):S239-S250, 2019 05 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ulven SM; Holven KB; Gil A; Rangel-Huerta OD +Authors Full Name + Ulven, Stine M; Holven, Kirsten B; Gil, Angel; Rangel-Huerta, Oscar D. +Institution + Ulven, Stine M.

Recent evidence has shown controversial results with regard to the role of dairy products in deleterious processes such as inflammation. The increasing number of studies on the anti- and proinflammatory effects of milk and dairy products in the past 5 y reflects the growing interest in this area of research. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the scientific evidence provided in the past 5 y on the effects of milk and dairy products on inflammatory biomarkers provided by randomized clinical trials. The search strategy was conducted in Medline (via PubMed) and Scopus (which includes EMBASE and the Web of Science) databases and included articles from 1 January 2012 to 30 April 2018. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane methodology. The number of study participants, type of study, doses, and the key results are reported. The following primary outcomes were considered for inclusion: circulating concentrations of C-reactive protein, interleukins, cytokines, and vascular adhesion molecules or expression of proinflammatory genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells; however, the primary outcomes considered were not limited to these. Sixteen studies (15 articles) included in this systematic review reported on healthy individuals and subjects who were overweight or obese and who had metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes. The consumption of milk or dairy products did not show a proinflammatory effect in healthy subjects or individuals with metabolic abnormalities. The majority of studies documented a significant anti-inflammatory effect in both healthy and metabolically abnormal subjects, although not all the articles were of high quality.

Drinking more liquids increases the frequency of urination and it is recommended as part of the prevention and/or management of UTI. The intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) is associated with obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. However, cola and other SSB increase liquid intake and diuresis and could, thus, affect the risk of UTI and its complications. We hypothesize that intake of cola has a protective effect on UTI and pyelonephritis. Using an animal model of UTI, we have confirmed that dehydration with minimal urine output leads to higher bacterial counts in the kidneys in comparison to control mice (p=0.01). The intake of SSB increased liquid intake and thus also diuresis and decreased renal bacterial counts as a marker of induced pyelonephritis (p=0.036). The preliminary results show that dehydration is a risk factor for UTI and that higher diuresis induced by drinking SSB might be protective against pyelonephritis. The underlying mechanisms could include increased voiding frequency but potentially also active compounds in cola such as caffeine. These findings might have implications for the management of individuals at high risk of UTI. Further studies should verify the hypothesis and evaluate the practical relevance of this concept.

Results of recent studies indicate that chronic stress may be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Thus, the aim of our study was to investigate the associations between the hair cortisol concentration (HCC), which is considered as a potential biomarker of long-term psychosocial stress, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors, including smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fasting blood samples and anthropometric and lifestyle data were collected from 163 apparently healthy men. HCC was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. Allostatic load (AL) index, defined as an integrated score of multiple interacting systems involved in the adaptation to adverse physical or psychosocial situations, was also calculated. RESULTS We found that many prevalent cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, smoking, higher than recommended waist circumference (WC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) median values, are associated with higher HCC. Hair cortisol level was also positively associated with the manifestation of individual cardiovascular risk factors such as higher-than-recommended total cholesterol, LDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, body mass index, and WC median values. Moreover, a significant positive relationship between HCC and AL index was observed. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that increased prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors is associated with higher HCC. Also, both HCC and AL index might be appropriate markers for the evaluation of chronic stress level. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL).

Thirteen weeks diet-induced obese male adult C57BL/6JOlaHsd mice housed at thermoneutrality were exposed for five days to OxR versus normoxia. WAT and blood were isolated and used for analysis of metabolites and adipokines, WAT histology and macrophage staining, and WAT transcriptomics. OxR increased circulating levels of haemoglobin and haematocrit as well as hypoxia responsive transcripts in WAT and decreased blood glucose, indicating systemic and tissue hypoxia. WAT aconitase activity was inhibited. Macrophage infiltration as marker for WAT inflammation tended to be decreased, which was supported by down regulation of inflammatory genes S100a8, Ccl8, Clec9a, Saa3, Mgst2, and Saa1. Other down regulated processes include cytoskeleton remodelling and metabolism, while response to hypoxia appeared most prominently up regulated. The adipokines coiled-coil domain containing 3 (CCDC3) and adiponectin, as well as the putative WAT hormone cholecystokinin (CCK), were reduced by OxR on transcript (Cck, Ccdc3) and/or serum protein level (adiponectin, CCDC3). Conclusively, our data demonstrate that also in obese mice OxR does not trigger WAT inflammation. However, OxR does evoke a metabolic response in WAT, with CCDC3 and adiponectin as potential markers for systemic or WAT hypoxia. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 33X04XA5AT (Lactic Acid). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Secondly, to identify optimal threshold of various anthropometric indices for obesity, as assessed by 75th percentile of leptin levels, within a clinic sample of non-diabetic and diabetic Pakistani adults. Fasting serum leptin levels were compared with anthropometric markers of obesity in 164 diabetic and non-diabetic subjects (90 male, 74 female), aged 35 to 65 years. Obesity was defined by body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 in either sex. The cutoff point of leptin was taken as the 75th percentile in non-obese subjects. Diagnostic accuracy for detecting excess fatness was evaluated through receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analyses with leptin taken as reference test against anthropometric indices as test variables. The 75th percentile of leptin in male and female was 7.0ng/mL and 17.9ng/mL, respectively. Leptin levels were significantly higher in females (p<0.001) and had strong positive correlation (p<0.001) with most anthropometric indices of obesity in both sexes; hip circumference (HC) being most prominent among these. Largest area under ROC curve (AUC) was between WC and leptin (AUC=0.844; CI=0.764, 0.925) in males and BMI and leptin (AUC=0.832; CI=0.740, 0.923) in females. The optimum thresholds for obesity indices in our study were: BMI, WC and HC as 25 kg/m2, 96.25cm, 99.25cm for males; 27 kg/m2, 95.50cm, 105.5cm for females, respectively. Leptin can be considered as a potential marker of obesity and may be used to identify obesity cutoffs in future demographic surveys. Longitudinal studies are required that include leptin in coronary artery disease risk assessment models. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (LEP protein, human). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&AN=31081756 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Hingorjo&issn=1011-601X&title=Pakistan+Journal+of+Pharmaceutical+Sciences&atitle=Leptin+as+a+predictor+of+anthropometric+cutoff+points+for+obesity.&volume=32&issue=2&spage=483&epage=490&date=2019&doi=&pmid=31081756&sid=OVID:medline + +<1672> +Unique Identifier + 31080589 +Title + Addition of milk fat globule membrane-enriched supplement to a high-fat meal attenuates insulin secretion and induction of soluble epoxide hydrolase gene expression in the postprandial state in overweight and obese subjects. +Source + Journal of Nutritional Science. 8:e16, 2019. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Beals E; Kamita SG; Sacchi R; Demmer E; Rivera N; Rogers-Soeder TS; Gertz ER; Van Loan MD; German JB; Hammock BD; Smilowitz JT; Zivkovic AM +Author NameID + Beals, Elizabeth; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3223-9345 +Authors Full Name + Beals, Elizabeth; Kamita, S G; Sacchi, R; Demmer, E; Rivera, N; Rogers-Soeder, T S; Gertz, E R; Van Loan, M D; German, J B; Hammock, B D; Smilowitz, J T; Zivkovic, A M. +Institution + Beals, Elizabeth.

The objective of the present study was to determine whether there is a difference in inflammatory markers, blood metabolic and lipid panels and lymphocyte gene expression in response to a high-fat dairy food challenge with or without milk fat globule membrane (MFGM). Participants consumed a dairy product-based meal containing whipping cream (WC) high in saturated fat with or without the addition of MFGM, following a 12 h fasting blood draw. Inflammatory markers including IL-6 and C-reactive protein, lipid and metabolic panels and lymphocyte gene expression fold changes were measured using multiplex assays, clinical laboratory services and TaqMan real-time RT-PCR, respectively. Fold changes in gene expression were determined using the Pfaffl method. Response variables were converted into incremental AUC, tested for differences, and corrected for multiple comparisons. The postprandial insulin response was significantly lower following the meal containing MFGM (P < 0.01). The gene encoding soluble epoxide hydrolase (EPHX2) was shown to be more up-regulated in the absence of MFGM (P = 0.009). Secondary analyses showed that participants with higher baseline cholesterol:HDL-cholesterol ratio (Chol:HDL) had a greater reduction in gene expression of cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) and lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTBR) with the WC+MFGM meal. The protein and lipid composition of MFGM is thought to be anti-inflammatory. These exploratory analyses suggest that addition of MFGM to a high-saturated fat meal modifies postprandial insulin response and offers a protective role for those individuals with higher baseline Chol:HDL. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Fatty Acids). 0 (Glycolipids). 0 (Glycoproteins). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (milk fat globule). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol).

Previous studies had demonstrated that HL is crucial for reverse cholesterol transport and affects the metabolism, composition, and level of several lipoproteins. In current study, we investigated the association of LIPC (Lipase C, Hepatic Type) variants with circulating and urinary biomarker levels by using subgroup and mediation analyses. + + METHODS: A total of 572 participants from Taiwan were genotyped for three LIPC single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by using TaqMan assay. Fasting levels of glucose, lipid profile, inflammation markers, urine creatinine and 8-hydroxy deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were measured. The chi-square test, 2-sample t test and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to examine differences among variables and genotype frequencies. + + RESULTS: SNPs rs2043085 and rs1532085 were significantly associated with urinary 8-OHdG levels, whereas all three SNPs were more significantly associated with Triglycerides (TG) or HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels after additional adjustment for HDL-C or TG levels, respectively. Subgroup analyses revealed that the association of the LIPC SNPs with the levels of serum TG, HDL-C, and urinary 8-OHdG were predominantly observed in the men but not in the women. Differential associations of the LIPC SNPs with various lipid levels were observed in participants with different adiposity statuses. Mediation analyses indicated that TG levels acted as a suppressor masking the association of the LIPC genotypes with HDL-C levels, particularly in the men (Sobel test, all P < 0.01). + + CONCLUSION: Our data revealed that interaction and suppression effects mediated the pleiotropic association of the LIPC variants. The effects of the LIPC SNPs depended on sex, adiposity status, and TG levels. Thus, our findings can provide a method for identifying high-risk populations of cardiovascular diseases for clinical diagnosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (LIPC protein, human). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Triglycerides). 88847-89-6 (8-Hydroxy-2'-Deoxyguanosine).

In a group of adults with obesity, divided in 2 subgroups according to the body mass index (BMI), we examined lipid peroxidation, expressed as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), protein oxidation, expressed as protein carbonyl groups (PCs), plasma gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9), and their tissue inhibitors (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2). In the whole group, as well as in the 2 subgroups (with BMI 30-35 or BMI>35) of obese subjects, we observed an increase in TBARS, PCs, MMP-2, and MMP-9, and also TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in comparison with the control group. A positive correlation between TBARS and PCs emerged in obese subjects and persisted after dividing obese subjects according to BMI. The correlation between MMP-2 and TIMP-2 was not statistically significant, while a significant correlation was present between MMP-9 and TIMP-1. The correlations between the markers of oxidative stress (TBARS and PCs) and those of the MMP/TIMP profile indicated a more marked influence of protein oxidation on MMPs and TIMPs in comparison with TBARS. The innovative aspect of our study was the simultaneous evaluation of oxidative stress markers and MMP/TIMP profile in adult obese subjects. We observed significant alterations and correlations that may negatively influence the clinical course of the disease. Copyright © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart .

We observed increased Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) immunoreactivity in BBS mouse brains. Increased GFAP expression is a hallmark of astrocyte reactivity that is associated with microglia activation and neuro-inflammation. To gain a better understanding of reactive astrocytes observed in BBS mice, we used two mouse models of BBS8, a BBSome protein, to characterize the reactive astrocyte phenotype. The finding of reactive astrocytes in young BBS mouse brains led us to hypothesize that loss of BBSome function leads to reactive astrocytes prior to hydrocephalus and obesity. By using two mouse models of BBS8, a congenital BBS8 knockout with hydrocephalus, and a tamoxifen-inducible BBS8 knockout without hydrocephalus, we were able to molecularly phenotype the reactive astrocytes. Molecular phenotype of reactive astrocytes shows differential regulation of inducers of Pan, A1 neurotoxic, and A2 neuroprotective astrocytes that are significantly altered in brains of both congenital and induced knockouts of BBS8, but without microglia activation. We find evidence for neuroinflammation in the brains of congenital knockout mice, but not in induced knockout mice. Protein levels of GFAP, SERPINA3N and post-synaptic density 95 (PSD95) are significantly increased in congenital knockout mice, but remain unchanged in induced knockout mice. Thus, despite the reactive astrocyte phenotype being present in both models, the molecular signature of reactive astrocytes in BBS8 mice models are distinct. Together, these findings suggest that BBS8, and by extension the BBSome, plays a role in neuro-astrocyte functions independent of hydrocephalus, and its dysregulation is associated with astrocyte reactivity without microglia activation.

This myokine is usually secreted after exercise by improving energy balance and has shown great potential as a possible treatment for some metabolic diseases such as obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Obesity has been linked to a higher incidence of some cancers. Furthermore, some studies have shown irisin to have direct positive effects on different types of cancers. Although it is hard to relay conclusions from in vitro to in vivo studies, the majority of the available data favor irisin as a potential substance for cancer regression through reducing proinflammatory markers linked to obesity. However, some controversies remain on the exact benefits of irisin on cancer with some studies showing no or even a negative effect of irisin on cancer. This review summarizes these 2 differing viewpoints and synthesizes them to form a clearer picture of exercise-induced irisin's effects on cancer. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (FNDC5 protein, human). 0 (Fibronectins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

It is distinctly different from polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), a disease seen in people over the age of 50 years. Hallmark features of PMR are the presence of elevated erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) and/or C-reactive protein (CRP). These markers are normal in FM. Obesity in itself can be associated with elevated CRP and ESR, and when obese patients present with myalgia and elevated inflammatory markers, diagnostic confusion can ensue. CASE REPORT We describe a case of 38-year-old female with diffuse musculoskeletal pain and elevated ESR and CRP who was initially misdiagnosed with PMR and responded partially to steroids. She developed severe adverse effects from chronic steroid use. She was ultimately diagnosed with FM. CONCLUSIONS We highlight features to help clinicians avoid the pitfall of diagnosing PMR in young obese patients with FM and elevated inflammatory markers. In this case report, we discuss the features of FM, PMR, PMR-like symptoms presentation, and the association of obesity with elevated inflammatory markers. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Case Reports.

Inflammation is an important pathogenic mechanism underlying obesity-associated tissue injury. (1E,4E)-1-{2,4-Dimethoxy-6-[(E)-4-methoxystyryl]phenyl}-5- (2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (PA19) is a novel anti-inflammatory compound synthesized by our research group. In the present study, the efficacy of PA19 in attenuating high-fat diet (HFD)-induced heart and kidney injury was investigated. Heart and kidney pathological injury and fibrosis were detected by hematoxylin and eosin and Sirius red staining, respectively. The expression levels of inflammatory genes and fibrosis-associated protein were determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. ELISA was used to detect the level of inflammatory cytokines. Following 20 weeks of HFD treatment, mice exhibited increased lipid accumulation in the serum, heart and kidney injury and fibrosis, and inflammation and inflammatory cell infiltration compared with mice fed a control diet. Conversely, treatment with PA19 during the final 12 weeks of the study significantly reduced the degree of heart and kidney fibrosis and inflammation induced by HFD. The results suggested that PA19 attenuates heart and kidney inflammation and injury induced by HFD, and indicated that PA19 may be a novel therapeutic agent in the treatment of obesity, and obesity-induced cardiac and renal injury. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Inflammatory Agents). 0 (Biomarkers).

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are innate producers of type-2 cytokines and are critical regulators of homeostasis in peripheral organs. However, our knowledge of their function in the kidney is relatively limited. Recent evidence suggests that increasing ILC2 numbers by systemic administration of recombinant interleukin (IL)-25 or IL-33 protects against renal injury. Whilst ILC2s can be induced to protect against ischemic- or chemical-induced AKI, the impact of ILC2 deficiency or depletion on the severity of renal injury is unknown. Firstly, the phenotype and location of ILC2s in the kidney was assessed under homeostatic conditions. Kidney ILC2s constitutively expressed high levels of IL-5 and were located in close proximity to the renal vasculature. To test the functional role of ILC2s in the kidney, an experimental model of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) was used and the severity of injury was assessed in wild-type, ILC2-reduced, ILC2-deficient, and ILC2-depleted mice. Surprisingly, there were no differences in histopathology, collagen deposition or mRNA expression of injury-associated (Lcn2), inflammatory (Cxcl1, Cxcl2, and Tnf) or extracellular matrix (Col1a1, Fn1) factors following IRI in the absence of ILC2s. These data suggest the absence of ILC2s does not alter the severity of renal injury, suggesting possible redundancy. Therefore, other mechanisms of type 2-mediated immune cell activation likely compensate in the absence of ILC2s. Hence, a loss of ILC2s is unlikely to increase susceptibility to, or severity of AKI. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Our aim was to derive diurnal rest-activity patterns from actigraphy in adolescents and analyze associations with adiposity measures and cardiometabolic risk factors. + + METHODS: Adolescents in the Project Viva cohort wore a wrist actigraph over 7 days. We derived markers of daily rest-activity patterns from actigraphy using nonparametric models, generating measurements of relative amplitude (RA). RA reflects the normalized difference in activity measured during the most active 10-hour period and the least active 5-hour period, averaged over multiple 24-hour periods. Using multivariable-adjusted linear regression models, we estimated associations of RA and its components with markers of adiposity (body mass index, waist circumference, skinfolds, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry fat mass) and cardiometabolic health (cardiometabolic risk score, derived as the mean of five sex-specific internal z-scores for waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol scaled inversely, and log-transformed triglycerides and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance). + + RESULTS: A total of 778 adolescents provided at least 5 days of valid actigraphy data. The average age was 13.2 (+/-.9) years, 52% were female, and the average RA was .9 (+/-.1). A higher RA reflecting higher activity during wakefulness and lower activity during the night was associated with more favorable indices of adiposity (e.g., -.35 kg/m2 lower body mass index per each .04 units increment of RA; 95% confidence interval: -.60 to -.09). + + CONCLUSIONS: In this large sample of adolescents, a higher RA emerged as a novel biomarker, associated with more favorable cardiometabolic profiles.

Visfatin is highly expressed in visceral fat with stimulatory effect on osteoblast proliferation and inhibition on osteoclast formation, while RBP-4 acts as a transporter protein for retinol, associated with changes in insulin sensitivity, independent of obesity, with no consensus on its effect on bone metabolism. We evaluated the relationship between serum concentrations of visfatin, RBP-4, markers of insulin resistance and current BMD in treated postmenopausal osteoporosis (PO). + + METHODS: Demographics, previous treatment, metabolic status, anthropometry, serum Alkaline phosphatise (ALP), visfatin, RBP-4, the HOMA IR (homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance) index and BMD were evaluated in 61 subjects with PO. Statistical analysis used SPSS v. 25.0, with a level of significance alpha = 0.05. Regression models were constructed to evaluate the relationship between adipokines and BMD, adjusting for covariates. + + RESULTS: In multilinear regression analysis, the strongest predictor for current BMD was a previous BMD, followed by ALP and age.

Individuals with T2D may have a reduced ability to revascularize ischemic tissues due to abnormal production of circulating provascular progenitor cells. This 'regenerative cell exhaustion' process is intensified by increasing oxidative stress and inflammation and during T2D progression. Chronic exhaustion may be mediated by changes in the bone marrow microenvironment that dysregulate the wingless related integration site network, a central pathway maintaining the progenitor cell pool. Restoration of vascular regenerative cell production by reducing glucotoxicity with contemporary antihyperglycemic agents, by reducing systemic inflammation postbariatric surgery, or by modulating progenitor cell provascular functions using exosomal manipulation, may provide unique approaches for mitigating ischemic disease.

However, there is an evolving appreciation that this lipoprotein class is highly heterogeneous with regard to composition and functionality. With the advent of advanced lipid-testing techniques and methods that allow both the quantitation and recovery of individual particle populations, we are beginning to connect the functionality of HDL subspecies with chronic metabolic diseases. In this review, we examine type 2 diabetes (T2D) and explore our current understanding of how obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperglycemia affect, and may be affected by, HDL subspeciation. We discuss mechanistic aspects of how insulin resistance may alter lipoprotein profiles and how this may impact the ability of HDL to mitigate both atherosclerotic disease and diabetes itself. Finally, we call for more detailed studies examining the impact of T2D on specific HDL subspecies and their functions. If these particles can be isolated and their compositions and functions fully elucidated, it may become possible to manipulate the levels of these specific particles or target the protective functions to reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Hypolipidemic Agents). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Lipoproteins, HDL). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by gut microbiota, in particular, are considered as a key biomarker, both of communication between gut microbiota and the host, and of impact on host metabolic homeostasis. Microbiota modulation and concomitant anti-obesity effects of probiotics have been reported by different researchers. However, the underlying modulatory functions of probiotics on gut microbiota towards host metabolic homeostasis are still not fully understood. In this study, the impact of Lactobacillus sakei CJLS03 (isolated from Korean kimchi) on obesity-related biomarkers was investigated using a diet-induced obese mouse model. Body weight increase, SCFAs, the gut microbiota and various obesity-associated biomarkers were significantly and beneficially influenced by L. sakei CJLS03 administration compared to the control groups. Analytical data on faecal samples support the role of the colonic microbial population in SCFA production. The composition of the latter may be influenced by modulation of the distal gastro-intestinal microbiota by putative probiotics such as L. sakei CJLS03. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids, Volatile). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library databases (up to January 2019) was performed. This analysis included randomized controlled trials with humans with overweight or obesity assessing the effects of HC on body mass loss or cardiometabolic markers. A subgroup analysis was performed to examine if HC effects differed between individuals with overweight or obesity. 13 articles (336 participants) qualified for inclusion. HC significantly decreased body mass (p=.01), fat mass (p=.04), waist/hip ratio (p<.001), waist (p<.001), LDL (p=.01), diastolic (p<.01) and systolic blood pressure (p<.01) with these effects not being larger than equivalent normoxic interventions. There were trends towards higher triglycerides decrement (p=.06) and higher muscle mass gain in hypoxic (p=.08) compared with normoxic condition. Also, the two BMI categories displayed no difference in the magnitude of the responses. Compared to normoxic equivalent, HC provides greater reductions in triglycerides and greater muscle growth, while body mass changes are similar. In addition, HC responses were essentially similar between individuals with overweight or obesity. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

Cellular markers may be coloured with different panels of fluorescently-labelled antibodies to enable cell identification or the detection of activated cells in pre-defined, 'gated' specific cell subsets. The number of markers that can be used per measurement is technologically limited however, requiring every panel to be analysed in a separate aliquot measurement. The combined analyses of these dedicated panels may enhance the predictive ability of these measurements and could enrich the interpretation of the immunological information. Here we introduce a fusion method for MFC data, based on DAMACY (Discriminant Analysis of Multi-Aspect Cytometry data), which can combine information from complementary panels. This approach leads to both enhanced predictions and clearer interpretations in comparison with the analysis of separate measurements. We illustrate this method using two datasets: the response of neutrophils evoked by a systemic endotoxin challenge and the activated immune status of the innate cells, T cells and B cells in obese versus lean individuals. The data fusion approach was able to detect cells that do not individually show a difference between clinical phenotypes but do play a role in combination with other cells. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antibodies, Monoclonal). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Methods In this single-centre, parallel group 2-year trial, 70 healthy postmenopausal obese women were randomised to the Paleolithic diet or a healthy control diet based on Nordic Nutrition Recommendations. Both diets were without calorie restriction. The primary outcome was the change in fat mass. Here, secondary analyses on GLP-1, GIP and glucagon measured during an OGTT are described. Results In the Paleolithic diet group, mean weight loss compared to baseline was 11% at 6 months and 10% at 24 months. In the control diet group, mean weight loss was 6% after 6 and 24 months (P = 0.0001 and P = 0.049 for the comparison between groups at 6 and 24 months respectively). Compared to baseline, the mean incremental area under the curve (iAUC) for GLP-1 increased by 34 and 45% after 6 and 24 months in the Paleolithic diet group and increased by 59% after 24 months in the control diet group. The mean iAUC for GIP increased only in the Paleolithic diet group. The area under the curve (AUC) for glucagon increased during the first 6 months in both groups. The fasting glucagon increase correlated with the beta-hydroxybutyrate increase. Conclusions Weight loss caused an increase in postprandial GLP-1 levels and a further rise occurred during weight maintenance. Postprandial GIP levels increased only after the Paleolithic diet. Reduced postprandial glucagon suppression may be caused by a catabolic state. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 59392-49-3 (Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide). 89750-14-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide 1). 9007-92-5 (Glucagon). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Feasibility of CASC as a response biomarker for a diet and exercise intervention in ten breast cancer survivors was then explored. + + RESULTS: For 33 high-risk women, median CASC frequency was 9.7 per million PBMCs and trended positively with body mass index, fat mass index (FMI), and percent android fat. Correlation was significant when BMI was dichotomized at > versus < 35 kg/m2 (p = 0.02). For ten breast cancer survivors with a median BMI of 37 kg/m2, median CASC frequency was 16.4 per million PBMCs. In univariate analyses, change in BMI, total fat and visceral fat were significantly correlated with change in CASC frequency. On multivariate analysis, change in visceral adipose had the strongest association with change in CASC frequency (p < 0.00078). + + CONCLUSIONS: The association between the reduction in visceral adipose tissue and the decrease in frequency of circulating adipose stromal cells suggests that the latter might be a useful biomarker in clinical trials of obese breast cancer survivors undergoing a weight loss intervention. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antigens, CD34). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (PECAM1 protein, human). 0 (Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule-1).

The main inclusion criteria were body mass index (BMI) >30 kg/m2 and HbA1c ranging from 5.7 to 6.4. Body weight, BMI, and HbA1c were assessed for each patient preprocedure and at 6 months postprocedure. Statistical analysis was performed using a paired sample t test. + + RESULTS: The baseline mean body weight, BMI, and HbA1c were 107.4 +/- 12.8 kg, 37.4 +/- 3.3 kg/m2, and 6 +/- 0.2, respectively. Concerning complications, no serious adverse events were detected. Six months after the procedure, the mean body weight and BMI significantly decreased to 98 +/- 11.6 kg and 34.1 +/- 3 kg/m2, respectively (P < .0001). A paired sample t test showed a significant reduction in HbA1c from pre- to postprocedure (6.1 +/- 0.2 preprocedure vs 4.7 +/- 0.6 postprocedure, P < .0001). The mean percent reductions in body weight, BMI, and HbA1c were 8.9% +/- 1.2, 8.8% +/- 1, and 21.4% +/- 8.9, respectively. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between BMI and HbA1c after the procedure (r = 0.91, P = .0002). + + CONCLUSIONS: LGAE is well tolerated and leads to clinically significant decreases in weight and HbA1c in obese, prediabetic patients.

Appetite is often distinguished by the separation of homeostatic and hedonic processes. + + RECENT FINDINGS: This report assesses the validity of a homeostatic toolkit to measure subjectively perceived hunger and its relationship to the developing processes of satiation (control of meal size) and satiety (control of the post-eating period). The capacity of a procedure to measure the influence of hedonic processes on food intake is also evaluated. A major issue is the relationship between the pattern of eating behaviour (influenced by the underlying drive to eat and the inhibition induced by the act of eating itself) and the parallel underlying profile of hormonal and other metabolic biomarkers. Increasing recognition is being given to individual variability in the expression of appetite, and the fact that the use of the average (mean) response conceals important information about the nature of appetite control. There is a growing interest in the identification of satiety phenotypes that operate in parallel to metabolic phenotypes. Interestingly, energy expenditure (metabolic and behavioural) contributes to an energy balance framework for understanding energy intake (appetite). +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Gastrointestinal Hormones). 0 (Peptide Hormones). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is a useful tool for evaluating executive functions. In this study, we assessed the association between dopaminergic gene polymorphisms: DAT1 (SLC6A3), COMTVal158Met, DRD4 (48-bp variable number of tandem repeats - VNTR) and WCST parameters to investigate the functions of the frontal lobes in obese individuals. + + OBJECTIVE: To find the significant correlations between polymorphisms of DAT1, COMTVal158Met, DRD4 and executive functions in obese subjects. + + METHODS: The analysis of the frequency of individual alleles was performed in 248 obese patients (179 women, 69 men). Evaluation of the prefrontal cortex function (operating memory and executive functions) was measured with the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Separate analyzes were performed in age subgroups to determine different activities and regulation of genes in younger and older participants. + + RESULTS: Scores of WCST parameters were different in the subgroups of women and men and in the age subgroups. Regarding the COMT gene, patients with A/A and G/A polymorphisms showed significantly better WCST results in WCST_P, WCST_CC and WCST_1st. Regarding DAT1 men with L/L and L/S made less non-perseverative errors, which was statistically significant. In DRD4, significantly better WCST_1st results were found only in older women with S allele. + + CONCLUSION: Obtained results indicate the involvement of dopaminergic transmission in the regulation of prefrontal cortex function. Data analysis indicates that prefrontal cortex function may ensue, from different elements such as genetic factors, metabolic aspects of obesity, and hormonal activity (estrogen).

Body weight and food intake were measured once per week and obesity-related biomarkers were evaluated in the serum and adipose tissue. + + RESULTS: OLE significantly suppressed weight gain, food efficiency ratio, visceral fat accumulation, and serum lipid composition in HFD-induced mice. Furthermore, the expression of adipogenesis- and thermogenesis-related molecules was decreased in the OLE-treated group. + + CONCLUSION: OLE prevents obesity development by regulating the expression of molecules involved in adipogenesis and thermogenesis.

The mineral selenium (Se), of which one of the main food sources is the Brazil nut, has important antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions through the action of selenoproteins. Thus, the evaluation of the influence of this micronutrient in this context is of great relevance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Brazil nut intake with high Se concentrations on inflammatory biomarkers and its relation to Se status in obese women. + + METHODS: A randomized controlled clinical trial was carried out with 55 women recruited at Clinical Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Patients were randomly assigned to either the Brazil nut group (BN) or the control group (CO) and followed up for 2 mo. The BN group consumed 1 unit/d of Brazil nuts (~ 1261 mug/Se); the CO group did not receive any intervention. At baseline and after 2 mo, analysis of biochemical parameters related to Se status, oxidative stress, and inflammatory biomarkers were performed. + + RESULTS: At baseline, both groups did not present Se deficiency. In the BN group, a significant increase (P < 0.05) in all Se biomarkers and in gene expression of several proinflammatory parameters (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and Toll-like receptors 2 and 4) were observed after the intervention period. No changes were observed for the CO group. + + CONCLUSION: Although there were no changes in plasma inflammatory biomarkers levels, a significant increase in gene expression may be an indication of a proinflammatory stimulus in obesity, induced by the consumption of Brazil nuts with high Se levels.

Male C57BL/6J mice were assigned into groups CHOW-SED (chow diet, sedentary; n = 10), CHOW-TR (chow diet, trained; n = 10), CAF-SED (CAF, sedentary; n = 10) and CAF-TR (CAF, trained; n = 10). AET consisted in running sessions of 60 min at 60% of maximal speed, five days per week for eight weeks. The CAF-SED group showed higher body weight and adiposity, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance (IR), while AET prevented such damages in CAF-TR group. AET reduced the p-AKT/t-AKT ratio and increased ATGL expression in CHOW-TR and CAF-TR groups and increased t-HSL and p-HSL/t-HSL ratio in CAF-TR. AET prevented adipocyte hypertrophy in CAF-TR group and increased UCP-1 protein expression only in CHOW-TR. Serum ACE2 increased in CHOW-TR and CAF-TR groups, and Ang (1-7) increased in the CHOW-TR group. In the SC-WAT, CAF-TR group increased the expression of AT1, AT2 and Mas receptors, whereas CHOW-TR increased Ang (1-7) and Ang (1-7)/Ang II ratio in SC-WAT. No changes were observed in ACE and Ang II. Positive correlations were observed between UCP-1 and kITT (r = 0.6), between UCP-1 and Ang (1-7) concentration (r = 0.6), and between UCP-1 and Ang (1-7)/Ang II ratio (r = 0.7). In conclusion, the AET prevented obesity and IR, reduced insulin signaling proteins and increased lipolysis signaling proteins in the SC-WAT. In addition, the CAF diet precludes the AET-induced thermogenic response and the partial modulation of the RAS suggests that the protective effect of AET against obesity and IR could not be associated with SC-WAT RAS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (Peptides). 0 (RNA, Messenger). 0 (Uncoupling Protein 1). 11128-99-7 (Angiotensin II). 9041-90-1 (Angiotensin I).

Subsequently, a potentially highly atherogenic small, dense low-density lipoprotein was also reported. We have studied the effect of bariatric surgery on this and other risk factors for atherosclerosis. + + METHODS: Forty patients (20 with type 2 diabetes mellitus) undergoing bariatric surgery were studied before and 1 year after bariatric surgery. + + RESULTS: Twelve months after bariatric surgery, median body mass index had decreased from 49.5 to 36.5 kg/m2, fasting insulin from 21.3 to 7.8 mU/L and insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance) from 5.9 to 1.8 (all p < 0.001). Thirteen out of 20 patients had remission from type 2 diabetes mellitus. Highly sensitive C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, fasting triglycerides ( p < 0.001) and small, dense low-density lipoprotein ( p < 0.001) decreased, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased ( p < 0.001) significantly, irrespective of having type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or being treated with statin therapy before surgery. + + CONCLUSION: The association between marked weight loss and change in insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia with the change in small, dense low-density lipoprotein and interleukin-6 warrants further investigation. Bariatric surgery provides a model for investigating the mechanisms linking insulin resistance/hyperinsulinaemia to atherosclerosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (IL6 protein, human). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Lipoproteins, LDL). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, the role of metabolic parameters in gray matter volume (GMV) has been poorly investigated. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the metabolic parameters and brain volume in subjects with obesity. + + METHODS: Thirty-seven subjects with obesity and 39 age and sex matched normal-weight controls were included in this study. Eighteen of the 37 participants who underwent sleeve gastrectomy were included in the longitudinal analysis. Blood samples and high-resolution 3T T1-weighted magnetic resonance images were collected. Metabolic parameters in plasma and GMV were measured. + + RESULTS: Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gray matter reduction in several cognition-related cortices including right angular gyrus, superior occipital cortex, superior parietal cortex, and cerebellum was related to decreased creatinine, as well as increased triglyceride, HbA1c, and low-density lipoprotein in plasma in subjects with obesity. Weight loss after the surgery induced significant recovery of altered metabolic parameters and decreased gray matter volume. Furthermore, changes in the four metabolic parameters before and after the surgery were associated with changes in gray matter volume. + + CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the gray matter reduction is related to decreased creatinine as well as increased triglyceride, HbA1c, and low-density lipoprotein in plasma in subjects with obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (Lipoproteins, LDL). 0 (Triglycerides).

Decreased SM in elderly persons is a naturally occurring process that may be accelerated by acute or chronic nutritional deficiencies and/or inflammatory disorders, declining processes associated with harmful complications. A recently published position paper by European experts has provided an overall survey on the definition and diagnosis of sarcopenia in elderly persons. The present review describes the additional contributory role played by the noninvasive transthyretin (TTR) micromethod. The body mass index (BMI) formula is currently used in clinical studies as a criterion of good health to detect, prevent, and follow up on the downward trend of muscle mass. The recent upsurge of sarcopenic obesity with its multiple subclasses has led to a confused stratification of SM and fat stores, prompting workers to eliminate BMI from screening programs. As a result, investigators are now focusing on indices of protein status that participate in SM growth, maturation, and catabolism that might serve to identify sarcopenia trajectories. Plasma TTR is clearly superior to all other hepatic biomarkers, showing the same evolutionary patterns as those displayed in health and disease by both visceral and structural LBM compartments. As a result, this TTR parameter maintains positive correlations with muscle mass downsizing in elderly persons. The liver synthesis of TTR is downregulated in protein-depleted states and suppressed in cytokine-induced inflammatory disorders. TTR integrates the centrally-mediated regulatory mechanisms governing the balance between protein accretion and protein breakdown, emerging as the ultimate indicator of LBM resources. This review proposes the adoption of a gray zone defined by cut-off values ranging from 200 mg/L to 100 mg/L between which TTR plasma values may fluctuate and predict either the best or the worst outcome. The best outcome occurs when appropriate dietary, medicinal and surgical decisions are undertaken, resuming TTR synthesis which manifests rising trends towards pre-stress levels. The worst occurs when all therapeutic means fail to succeed, leading inevitably to complete exhaustion of LBM and SM metabolic resources with an ensuing fatal outcome. Some patients may remain unresponsive in the middle of the gray area, combining steady clinical states with persistent stagnant TTR values. Using the serial measurement of plasma TTR values, these last patients should be treated with the most aggressive and appropriate therapeutic strategies to ensure the best outcome. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Prealbumin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Both scores are weighted sums of 18 food groups, which characterize dietary insulinemic or inflammatory potential based on plasma levels of insulin response or inflammatory biomarkers. We used multivariable-adjusted linear regression to examine 4-y changes in the dietary scores and weight change within the same period. + + RESULTS: The mean baseline body mass index (BMI, in kg/m2) was 25.4. Compared with participants who made minimal dietary changes (quintile 3) over 6 4-y periods; participants who changed their diets toward lower insulinemic or inflammatory potential (quintile 1) gained significantly less weight (in kilograms per 4 y) independent of total energy intake, BMI, physical activity, and smoking status: EDIH: -0.65 (95% CI: -0.73, -0.57), EDIP: -0.29 (-0.37, -0.21) among women; and EDIH: -0.60 (-0.71, -0.49), EDIP: -0.19 (-0.27, -0.07) among men. In contrast, those who changed their diets toward higher insulinemic or inflammatory potential (quintile 5) gained significantly more weight: EDIH: 0.43 (0.36, 0.51), EDIP: 0.15 (0.07, 0.23) among women; and EDIH: 0.49 (0.38, 0.59), EDIP: 0.22 (0.11, 0.33) among men (P-trend < 0.0001 for all comparisons). Associations were stronger among individuals who were overweight or obese, younger, less physically active, and had never smoked. + + CONCLUSIONS: High dietary insulinemic and inflammatory potential is associated with substantial long-term weight gain in adult men and women independent of total energy intake.

Emerging in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that OPEs are metabolism disrupting compounds; however, epidemiologic studies investigating their associations with adiposity markers are sparse. + + OBJECTIVE: We examined cross-sectional associations between OPE biomarkers and adiposity measures among U.S. children and adults participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES: 2013-2014). + + METHODS: Concentrations of five OPE metabolites were quantified in urine: diphenyl phosphate (DPHP), bis(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BDCPP), bis(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (BCEP), dibutyl phosphate (DBUP), and bis(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BCPP). We conducted covariate-adjusted logistic and linear regressions to examine associations between log2-transformed and dichotomized OPE metabolite concentrations and obesity, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC), separately among 784 children (6-19years) and 1672 adults (>=20years). We also assessed heterogeneity of associations by sex. + + RESULTS: DBUP concentrations were inversely associated with the prevalence odds of being obese vs. normal weight in children (adjusted Prevalence Odds Ratio, aPOR: 0.82, 95% Confidence Interval, 95% CI: 0.70, 0.95) and adults (aPOR: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.72, 0.96). DBUP was also significantly associated with lower BMI z-scores (beta:-0.08, 95% CI:-0.17, 0.01) and WC (beta:-0.71, 95% CI: -1.49, 0.07) in children. BCEP concentrations were associated with increased prevalence odds of being overweight vs. normal weight (aPOR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.32) among children; similar, albeit not statistically significant, relationships were observed with other child adiposity outcomes. Among adults, detectable BCPP concentrations were associated with increased prevalence odds of being obese vs. normal weight (aPOR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.21, 2.38) and having a high vs. normal WC (aPOR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.11, 2.07) as well as higher BMI (beta: 1.31, 95% CI: 0.30, 2.33). Other OPE metabolites were not consistently associated with adiposity measures among adults. Although associations of BCPP exposure with adiposity outcomes were generally inverse among boys, but not girls, we did not observe consistent evidence of sexually-dimorphic associations for other OPE metabolites. + + CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to select OPEs may be differentially associated with body size among children and adults. Given the cross-sectional design of the present study, future prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings. Copyright © 2019.

Healthy adults (n = 42; 21 Females; body mass index (BMI): 32.8 +/- 4.6 kg.m-2) were randomized to control (CON; n = 21) or meal replacement (MRP; n = 22) groups. Body composition was measured using a four-compartment model; RMR and RER were assessed from indirect calorimetry. The MRP (70% fat) was consumed once daily for eight weeks. For males, there was no change (p > 0.05) in FM (mean difference (MD) = 0.41 +/- 1.19 kg], %BF MD = 0.50 +/- 1.09%, LM MD = -0.64 +/- 1.79 kg, or VAT MD = -0.31 +/- 1.36 cm for MRP versus CON. Similarly, no differences for females for FM MD = -0.73 +/- 1.37 kg, %BF MD = -0.57 +/- 1.26%, LM MD = 0.31 +/- 1.37 kg, or VAT MD: -0.83 +/- 1.2 cm. HDL was significantly reduced in the MRP group for females (adjusted mean change: -6.41 +/- 4.44 units, p = 0.018). There was no effect on RMR or RER. Satiety increased in the afternoon for MRP (p = 0.021). Despite high fat, no negative impact on lipids resulted; increased satiety may be beneficial for controlling afternoon cravings, but does not affect body composition. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Fats). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Among them, we identified 5200 elderly individuals (>=65 year), 2127 subjects with diabetes and 1180 with cardiovascular disease (CVD) at baseline. A healthy lifestyle score (HLS) was calculated, allocating 1 point for each of the following: abstention from smoking; adherence to Mediterranean diet; physical activity; absence of abdominal obesity. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated by multivariable Cox regression and competing risk models. + + RESULTS: During 8.2 years of follow-up, 1237 deaths occurred. In the general population, adherence to all four healthy lifestyles, compared with none or 1, was associated with lower risk of all-cause (HR = 0.53; 95%CI:0.39-0.72), CVD (HR = 0.54; 0.32-0.91), cancer (HR = 0.62; 0.39-1.00) and mortality from other causes (HR = 0.39; 0.19-0.81). A 1-point increase in HLS was associated with 20%, 22% and 24% lower risk of total mortality among the elderly, in subjects with diabetes or CVD, respectively. Traditional (e.g. blood lipids), inflammatory (e.g. C-reactive protein) and novel biomarkers (e.g. markers of cardiac damage) accounted for up to 24% of the association of HLS with all-cause mortality risk in the general population. + + CONCLUSIONS: The impact of combined four healthy lifestyles on survival was considerable, both in the general population and among high-risk subgroups. Inflammatory and novel biomarkers of CVD risk explained a substantial proportion of this association.

Objective: To review circulating microRNAs (c-miRNAs) dysregulated in human obesity and to predict their possible target genes. Methods: We performed a systematic review on PubMed database (PROSPERO, CRD42017077742) for original works on c-miRNAs and human obesity and recorded c-miRNAs with differential expression profiles. Potential target genes and metabolic pathways for dysregulated miRNAs with at least two independent reports were searched using bioinformatic tools. Results: Twenty-two c-miRNAs are overexpressed, nine underexpressed and two c-miRNAs dysregulated in both directions in people with obesity compared to lean controls. Bioinformatic analyses suggest these c-miRNAs target on genes associated with fatty acid metabolism and PI3k/Akt pathway. Conclusion: Literature records 33 c-miRNAs confirmedly dysregulated in human obesity. Their predicted target genes are involved in pathways that could explain the development of obesity and its comorbidities. Further research will clarify the role of these miRNAs on metabolic diseases and their usefulness for the prognosis, prevention and treatment of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Circulating MicroRNA). 0 (Fatty Acids).

However, adropin's roles in human metabolism are unclear. In silico expression profiling in a nonhuman primate diurnal transcriptome atlas (GSE98965) revealed a dynamic and diurnal pattern of ENHO expression. ENHO expression is abundant in brain, including ventromedial and lateral hypothalamic nuclei regulating appetite and autonomic function. Lower ENHO expression is present in liver, lung, kidney, ileum, and some endocrine glands. Hepatic ENHO expression associates with genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering identified 426 genes co-regulated with ENHO in liver, ileum, kidney medulla, and lung. Gene Ontology analysis of this cluster revealed enrichment for epigenetic silencing by histone H3K27 trimethylation and biological processes related to neural function. Dietary intervention experiments with 59 adult male rhesus macaques indicated low plasma adropin concentrations were positively correlated with fasting glucose, plasma leptin, and apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) concentrations. During consumption of a high-sugar (fructose) diet, which induced 10% weight gain, animals with low adropin had larger increases of plasma leptin and more severe hyperglycemia. Declining adropin concentrations were correlated with increases of plasma APOC3 and triglycerides. In summary, peripheral ENHO expression associates with pathways related to epigenetic and neural functions, and carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, suggesting co-regulation in nonhuman primates. Low circulating adropin predicts increased weight gain and metabolic dysregulation during consumption of a high-sugar diet.

Given previous evidence of negative associations between excess adiposity and memory, it is possible that greater carotenoid status may confer neuroprotective effects among persons with overweight or obesity. This study aimed to elucidate relationships between carotenoids assessed in diet, serum, and the macula (macular pigment optical density (MPOD)) and relational memory among adults who are overweight or obese. Adults aged 25-45 years (N = 94) completed a spatial reconstruction task. Task performance was evaluated for accuracy of item placement during reconstruction relative to the location of the item during the study phase. Dietary carotenoids were assessed using 7-day diet records. Serum carotenoids were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. Hierarchical linear regression analyses were used to determine the relationship between carotenoids and task performance. Although initial correlations indicated that dietary lutein, beta-carotene, and serum beta-carotene were positively associated with memory performance, these relationships were not sustained following adjustment for age, sex, and BMI. Serum lutein remained positively associated with accuracy in object binding and inversely related to misplacement error after controlling for covariates. Macular carotenoids were not related to memory performance. Findings from this study indicate that among the carotenoids evaluated, lutein may play an important role in hippocampal function among adults who are overweight or obese. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Macular Pigment).

This issue is potentially important since lower weight gain in breastfed infants of obese mothers might increase the risk of developing later obesity. Breast milk quality and quantity, together with breastfeeding practice, possibly influence infants' feeding behavior, appetite control, and regulation of growth later in life. The issue of whether breast milk protein patterns from obese mothers differ in composition from those of non-obese mothers remains largely unexplored. Here, we established a breast milk proteomic pattern that discriminates obese mothers and infants with delayed weight gain at 1 month after birth from normal-weight mothers with infants of the same age and with normal weight gain. Obese mothers were matched to normal-weight mothers (n = 26; body mass index 33.5 +/- 3.2 vs 21.5 +/- 1.5 kg.m-2). The mean weight gain of infants in the obese group at 1 month after birth was 430.8 g lower than that of the infants in the control group. Analysis of the breast milk delipidized fraction by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization on CM10 and Q10 arrays was followed by MS-assisted purification and LC-MS/MS microsequencing of a selected biomarker. We identified 15 candidate protein biomarkers, seven of which were overexpressed in the obese group and eight in the normal-weight group. One of the most significant candidate biomarkers, overexpressed in the obese group, was identified as a fragment of the sixth extracellular domain of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor. Further structural identification of these candidate biomarkers and their validation in clinical assays may facilitate the development of a predictive immunoassay. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Milk Proteins). 0 (Proteome). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Associations between the FTO gene and alterations in metabolic markers have been reported in different populations but not in Chileans. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the association of rs3751812 gene polymorphism with adiposity and metabolic markers in the Chilean adult population. Methods: genotype of the FTO gene was determined in 409 participants from the GENADIO study. Adiposity markers (body weight, BMI, % fat mass and waist circumference), metabolic markers (glycemia, insulin, HOMAIR, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, leptin, ALT, GGT, PCRhs) and blood pressure were measured. The association between the FTO genotype and the different markers was determined using linear regression analyses. Results: there was an association between the polymorphism and all adiposity markers as well as insulin, HOMAIR, leptin and HDL cholesterol (p < 0.05) in the fully adjusted model. For total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, ALT, GGT and PCRhs, the association disappeared after adjustment by body mass index. Conclusion : our findings verify the association between the FTO rs3751812 polymorphism with obesity, hyperinsulinemia, hyperleptinemia and lower levels of HDL cholesterol in the Chilean population. These alterations could increase the risk of diabetes mellitus type II and metabolic syndrome. +Other Abstract + Publisher + INTRODUCCION: Antecedentes: el gen FTO presenta las variantes geneticas que confieren el mayor riesgo de obesidad hasta ahora identificado. Se han reportado asociaciones de polimorfismos del gen FTO y alteraciones de marcadores metabolicos en diversas poblaciones, pero no en chilenos. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la asociacion del polimorfismo rs3751812 con marcadores de adiposidad y metabolicos en adultos chilenos. Metodos: se determino el genotipo del FTO en 409 participantes del estudio GENADIO. Se evaluaron marcadores de adiposidad (peso corporal, indice de masa corporal [IMC], % de masa grasa y perimetro de cintura), marcadores metabolicos (glicemia, insulina, HOMAIR, colesterol total, colesterol LDL, colesterol HDL, trigliceridos, leptina, ALT, GGT, PCRus) y presion arterial. La asociacion entre el genotipo FTO y los distintos marcadores se realizo mediante analisis de regresion lineal. Resultados: tras ajustar los marcadores por las variables de confusion, se evidencio una asociacion significativa de los genotipos de riesgo con todos los marcadores de adiposidad estudiados y con los marcadores metabolicos: insulina, HOMAIR, leptina y colesterol HDL (p < 0,05). Para colesterol total, trigliceridos, colesterol LDL, ALT, GGT y PCRus, la asociacion perdio significancia al ajustar por IMC. Conclusion: este estudio revela que existe una asociacion entre el polimorfismo rs3751812 del gen FTO con obesidad, hiperinsulinemia, hiperleptinemia y bajos niveles de colesterol HDL en la poblacion chilena, lo que podria aumentar el riesgo de desarrollar diabetes mellitus tipo II y sindrome metabolico. + Language: Spanish +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

This study addresses the effect of BMI on the epigenome of monocytes and disease course in MS. + + METHODS: Fifty-four therapy-naive Relapsing Remitting (RR) MS patients with high and normal BMI received clinical and MRI evaluation. Blood samples were immunophenotyped, and processed for unbiased plasma lipidomic profiling and genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of circulating monocytes. The main findings at baseline were validated in an independent cohort of 91 therapy-naive RRMS patients. Disease course was evaluated by a two-year longitudinal follow up and mechanistic hypotheses tested in human cell cultures and in animal models of MS. + + FINDINGS: Higher monocytic counts and plasma ceramides, and hypermethylation of genes involved in negative regulation of cell proliferation were detected in the high BMI group of MS patients compared to normal BMI. Ceramide treatment of monocytic cell cultures increased proliferation in a dose-dependent manner and was prevented by DNA methylation inhibitors. The high BMI group of MS patients showed a negative correlation between monocytic counts and brain volume. Those subjects at a two-year follow-up showed increased T1 lesion load, increased disease activity, and worsened clinical disability. Lastly, the relationship between body weight, monocytic infiltration, DNA methylation and disease course was validated in mouse models of MS. + + INTERPRETATION: High BMI negatively impacts disease course in Multiple Sclerosis by modulating monocyte cell number through ceramide-induced DNA methylation of anti-proliferative genes.

We assessed behavioral risk factors and biomarkers of CVD risk among young sexual and gender minorities (YSGM) aged 16-29 in Chicago who are participants in the RADAR cohort (analytic N = 936). Multiplex cytokine and inflammatory biomarker assays were run on plasma from all HIV+ participants and demographically-matched HIV- participants (n = 237). Geographic data were used to assess mean C-reactive protein (CRP) level per community area of residence in Chicago. YSGM in this cohort exhibited lower rates of obesity (19.2% in RADAR vs. 35.7% in earlier studies of heterosexual youth) and comparable rates of past 30-day tobacco use (37.9 vs. 38.1%). Conversely, higher rates were observed among several other risk factors including C-reactive protein (mean = 6.9 mg/L vs. 2.1 mg/L), marijuana use (72.5 vs. 45.3%), perceived stress (mean = 15.5 vs. 14.2), and HIV (20.0 vs. < 1% nationally). Finally, we observed geographic heterogeneity in mean CRP values by community area across the Chicago region with the highest and lowest values both found in neighborhoods on the North side of the city. In sum, these analyses demonstrate that YSGM may be at increased risk of CVD beginning from an early age. Future research should assess whether sexual minority-related stressors increase long-term CVD risk and should also longitudinally study the role of multiple risk factors on CVD morbidity and mortality among YSGM. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs10865-019-00038-z +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Morgan&issn=0160-7715&title=Journal+of+Behavioral+Medicine&atitle=Cardiovascular+disease+risk+factors+are+elevated+among+a+cohort+of+young+sexual+and+gender+minorities+in+Chicago.&volume=42&issue=6&spage=1073&epage=1081&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs10865-019-00038-z&pmid=30968321&sid=OVID:medline + +<1712> +Unique Identifier + 30967146 +Title + Plasma metabolomic profiling of amino acids and polar lipids in Iranian obese adults. +Source + Lipids in Health & Disease. 18(1):94, 2019 Apr 09. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Bagheri M; Djazayery A; Farzadfar F; Qi L; Yekaninejad MS; Aslibekyan S; Chamari M; Hassani H; Koletzko B; Uhl O +Author NameID + Bagheri, Minoo; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-6093-613X +Authors Full Name + Bagheri, Minoo; Djazayery, Abolghasem; Farzadfar, Farshad; Qi, Lu; Yekaninejad, Mir Saeed; Aslibekyan, Stella; Chamari, Maryam; Hassani, Hossein; Koletzko, Berthold; Uhl, Olaf. +Institution + Bagheri, Minoo.

However, the intermediate metabolites involved in this change remain largely unknown. + + OBJECTIVE: We conducted targeted metabolomics profiling to identify moieties associated with adult obesity. + + METHODS: In this case-control study of Iranian adults, 200 obese patients were compared with 100 controls based on 104 metabolites profiled by a targeted metabolomic approach using liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The analysis comprised acylcarnitines, diacyl-phosphatidylcholines (PCaa), acyl-alkyl-phosphatidylcholines (PCae), sphingomyelins (SM), lyso-phospholipids (LPC) and amino acids. We performed multivariable linear regression to identify metabolites associated with obesity, adjusting for age, sex, total energy intake, total physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. The Bonferroni correction was used to adjust for multiple testing. + + RESULTS: A pattern of 19 metabolites was significantly associated with obesity. Branched chain amino acids, alanine, glutamic acid, proline, tyrosine LPCa C16:1, PCaa C32:1, PCaa C32:2 and PCaa C38:3 were positively, while serine, asparagine, LPCa C18:1, LPCa C18:2, LPCe C18:0, PCae C34:3, PCae C38:4 and PCae C40:6 were negatively associated with obesity (all p < 0.00048). + + CONCLUSIONS: A metabolomic profile containing 9 amino acids and 10 polar lipids may serve as a potential biomarker of adult obesity.

Obesity-induced chronic inflammation promoted by adipose tissue dysfunction is a key feature, which is thought to be an important link between obesity and cancer. Oxidative stress (OS) has been suggested to play an important role in carcinogenesis. Obese women have been shown to have higher levels of OS markers. The study was performed to know the influence of obesity on OS to be replaced with OS markers in patients with breast cancer. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty women attending the outpatient Department of Surgical Oncology and Surgery at Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Science, Tirupati, who were clinically diagnosed and histologically confirmed with breast cancer were considered as the patients and 30 healthy women were included as controls. Malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyls (PCC), and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) as oxidative markers along with protein thiols and ferric-reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) were studied as markers of antioxidant status. + + RESULTS: Patients with breast cancer had significantly higher levels of MDA (P = 0.005), PCC, and AOPP compared to controls (P = 0.001) and significantly lower levels of thiols and FRAP compared to controls (P = 0.001). No significant correlation was found between OS markers and indices of obesity. A significant association was found between OS markers (P = 0.005), PCC (P = 0.002), AOPP (P = 0.002), and breast cancer. + + CONCLUSIONS: Patients with breast cancer have increased OS as evidenced by an increase in oxidant markers and a decrease in antioxidant markers. OS is not related to their adiposity but is related to the presence of breast cancer. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.4103%2fijc.IJC_247_18 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Sateesh&issn=0019-509X&title=Indian+Journal+of+Cancer&atitle=Oxidative+stress+in+relation+to+obesity+in+breast+cancer.&volume=56&issue=1&spage=41&epage=44&date=2019&doi=10.4103%2Fijc.IJC_247_18&pmid=30950443&sid=OVID:medline + +<1714> +Unique Identifier + 30948354 +Title + Down-regulation of MicroRNA-592 in obesity contributes to hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. +Source + EBioMedicine. 42:494-503, 2019 Apr. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Song Y; Wu L; Li M; Xiong X; Fang Z; Zhou J; Yan G; Chen X; Yang J; Li Y +Authors Full Name + Song, Yuping; Wu, Ling; Li, Menghui; Xiong, Xuelian; Fang, Zhenfu; Zhou, Jing; Yan, Guofeng; Chen, Xuejin; Yang, Jialin; Li, Yao. +Institution + Song, Yuping.

In the present study, we sought to investigate the function of miR-592 in the development of obesity-associated metabolic disorders, including hyperglycemia andinsulin resistance. + + METHODS: The expression levels of miR-592 were measured in the liver of obese mice and humans by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Loss- and gain-of function experiments were employed to explore the metabolic function of miR-592 using locked nucleic acids and adenovirus in lean and obese mice, respectively. The molecular target of miR-592 was determined by western blotting and luciferase reporter assays. + + FINDINGS: We found a significant decreased expression of miR-592 in the liver of obese mice and humans. Inhibition of miR-592 led to elevated blood glucose levels, enhanced gluconeogenesis and reduced insulin sensitivity in lean mice. In contrast, adenovirus-mediated overexpression of hepatic miR-592 improved metabolic disorders in obese mice. Mechanistically, we found that the transcription factor forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) is a direct target gene of miR-592 to mediate its metabolic functions. miR-592 was able to inhibit the mRNA and protein expression of FOXO1 by binding to its 3'-untranslated region. + + INTERPRETATIONS: Our findings demonstrate that obesity-associated down-regulation of miR-592 plays an important role in the progression of metabolic diseases. Restoration of hepatic miR-592 could improve glucose and lipid metabolism in obese mice.

We examined whether increased fiber intake predicts the amelioration in IS and GIIS following a hypocaloric-diet. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: This is a post-hoc analysis of 55 adult subjects (BMI > 27 kg/m2) who completed a 6-month hypocaloric-diet (-500 kcal/day). Dietary intake was assessed using 3-day food records at baseline and post-intervention. We evaluated glucose-induced insulin and C-peptide secretions as AUC of plasma insulin and C-peptide during intravenous-glucose-tolerance tests (IVGTT) and IS via hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps. Data analysis employed regression models and 2-way RM ANOVAs. Post-intervention % change in fiber intake was associated positively with ISclamp (r = 0.30) and negatively with % change in total (r = -0.37) and 2nd phase GIISIVGTT (r = -0.44) but not C-peptide secretion. It remained associated with lower 2nd phase GIISIVGTT after adjustment for sex and % changes in BMI and energy-intake, independently of other macronutrients. Subjects who increased fiber intake (to 28.7 +/- 9.0 g/day) had a greater decrease in 2nd phase GIISIVGTT, not C-peptide secretion, independently of sex or changes in adiposity or energy-intake compared to subjects who decreased intake (to 20.0 +/- 6.8 g/day). + + CONCLUSION: Higher fiber intake is an independent predictor of reduced 2nd phase glucose-induced hyperinsulinemia after a hypocaloric-diet. It was not associated with plasma C-peptide, suggesting a role in faster insulin clearance rather reduced insulin secretion. Promoting high-fiber intake may increase the effectiveness of hypocaloric-diets in preventing type 2 diabetes. + + REGISTRATION: ISRCTN14476404, BioMedCentral.com. + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: This trial was registered at BioMed Central as ISRCTN14476404, on July 28th, 2017.

Over-expression of IGFBP-2 is associated with reduced caloric intake and resistance to weight gain. Hormonal variations contributing to weight loss occur very early after bariatric surgery but have not been fully elucidated. We evaluated IGFBP-2 serum changes after bariatric surgery and their relationship with leptin variations to test the hypothesis that an increase of leptin sensitivity may explain some of the effects of gastric bypass. + + METHODS: This is a historical prospective study. Fifty-one obese patients (41 women e 10 men), 9 non-obese surgical controls and 41 lean matched controls were studied. Serum IGFBP-2 and leptin were measured after bariatric bypass surgery at various time points up to 18 months, after non-bariatric laparoscopic surgery in a control group, and in lean matched controls. + + RESULTS: Compared to lean controls, serum IGFBP-2 levels were lower in obese patients. After gastric bypass, IGFBP-2 significantly increased at 3 days and became normal before the occurrence of relevant changes in body weight, remaining stable up to 18 months after surgery. IGFBP-2/leptin ratio increased early after surgery and became normal after one year. + + CONCLUSIONS: After gastric bypass, serum IGFBP-2 increases in a window of time when variations of hormones mediating the effects of bariatric surgery occur. Our results suggest that IGFBP-2, a leptin-regulated protein, may be an in-vivo marker of leptin action. If this is the case, an early improvement of leptin sensitivity might contribute to the anorectic effect of gastric bypass. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 2). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Recently, the activation of the cell-surface receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has been associated with lipid accumulation in different organs. Nevertheless, the role of RAGE and sRAGE, the soluble form that prevents ligands to activate RAGE, in intramyocardial lipid accumulation is presently unknown. To this aim, we analyzed whether, in obesity, intramyocardial lipid accumulation and lipid metabolism-related transcriptome are related to RAGE and sRAGE. Heart and serum samples were collected from 10 lean (L) and 10 obese (OB) Zucker rats. Oil red staining was used to detect lipids on frozen heart sections. The lipid metabolism-related transcriptome (84 genes) was analyzed by a specific PCR array. Heart RAGE expression was explored by real-time RT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Serum levels of sRAGE (total and endogenous secretory form (esRAGE)) were quantified by ELISA. Genes promoting fatty acid transport, activation, and oxidation in mitochondria/peroxisomes were upregulated in OB hearts. Intramyocardial lipid content did not differ between OB and L rats, as well as RAGE expression. A slight increase in epicardial adipose tissue was observed in OB hearts. Total sRAGE and esRAGE concentrations were significantly higher in OB rats. sRAGE may protect against obesity-induced intramyocardial lipid accumulation by preventing RAGE hyperexpression, therefore allowing lipids to be metabolized. EAT also played a protective role by working as a buffering system that protects the myocardium against exposure to excessively high levels of fatty acids. These observations reinforce the potential role of RAGE pathway as an interesting therapeutic target for obesity-related complications, at least at the cardiovascular level. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycation End Products, Advanced). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1155%2f2019%2f2712376 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Dozio&issn=0962-9351&title=Mediators+of+Inflammation&atitle=Soluble+Receptor+for+Advanced+Glycation+End+Products%3A+A+Protective+Molecule+against+Intramyocardial+Lipid+Accumulation+in+Obese+Zucker+Rats%3F.&volume=2019&issue=&spage=2712376&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1155%2F2019%2F2712376&pmid=30944546&sid=OVID:medline + +<1718> +Unique Identifier + 30935970 +Title + Gut microbiota characterization and lipid metabolism disorder found in PCB77-treated female mice. +Source + Toxicology. 420:11-20, 2019 05 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Chi Y; Wang H; Lin Y; Lu Y; Huang Q; Ye G; Dong S +Authors Full Name + Chi, Yulang; Wang, Hongou; Lin, Yi; Lu, Yanyang; Huang, Qiansheng; Ye, Guozhu; Dong, Sijun. +Institution + Chi, Yulang.

Previous evidence has demonstrated that the PCB77 administration should be responsible for the gut microbiota variations and the host health risk. However, the host disorders and bacterial functions involved in PCB77 exposure remain largely unknown. Few studies have been performed to illuminate the correlation between the bacterial functions and disorders. Furthermore, it is urgently needed to find specific strains as potential biomarkers to monitor PCB77 pollution and associated disorders. This study was designed to investigate the effects of PCB77 on gut microbiota and induced disorders in female mice. Obtained results indicated that PCB77 exposure induced gut microbiota dysbiosis, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hepatic lipid accumulation, and liver injury in mice. Functional prediction based on the phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt) algorithm showed that exposure to PCB77 weakened the bacterial functions relating to lipid and energy metabolism, and immune system disease. Experimental findings were consistent with the result of the PICRUSt functional prediction. Importantly, three PCB77-associated bacterial taxa were screened out as potential biomarkers for the assessment of PCB77 pollution. This study provides previously unknown knowledge linking PCB77 administration, gut microbiota functional profile and lipid abnormalities, which is of important clinical significance for therapies treating PCB77-associated diseases.

Biomarkers that identify preclinical metabolic heart disease ( MHD ) in young obese patients would help identify high-risk individuals for heart failure prevention strategies. We assessed the predictive value of GAL3 (galectin-3), FSTL3 (follistatin-like 3 peptide), and NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) to identify stage B MHD in young obese participants free of clinically evident cardiovascular disease. Methods and Results Asymptomatic obese patients (n=250) and non-obese controls (n=21) underwent echocardiographic cardiac phenotyping. Obese patients were classified as MHD positive ( MHD - POS ; n=94) if they had abnormal diastolic function or left ventricular hypertrophy and had estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure >=35 mm Hg. Obese patients without such abnormalities were classified as MHD negative (MHD-NEG; n=52). Serum biomarkers timed with echocardiography. MHD - POS and MHD-NEG individuals were similarly obese, but MHD - POS patients were older, with more diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. Right ventricular coupling was worse in MHD - POS patients ( P<0.001). GAL 3 levels were higher in MHD - POS versus MHD -NEG patients (7.7+/-2.3 versus 6.3+/-1.9 ng/mL, respectively; P<0.001). Both GAL 3 and FSTL 3 levels correlated with diastolic dysfunction and increased pulmonary artery systolic pressure but not with left ventricular mass. In multivariate models including all 3 biomarkers, only GAL 3 remained associated with MHD (odds ratio: 1.30; 95% CI , 1.01-1.68; P=0.04). Conclusions In young obese individuals without known cardiovascular disease, GAL 3 is associated with the presence of preclinical MHD . GAL 3 may be useful in screening for preclinical MHD and identifying individuals with increased risk of progression to obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Proteins). 0 (Follistatin-Related Proteins). 0 (Fstl3 protein, human). 0 (Galectin 3). 0 (Galectins). 0 (LGALS3 protein, human). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (pro-brain natriuretic peptide (1-76)). 114471-18-0 (Natriuretic Peptide, Brain). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Although progress is being made, the underlying molecular mechanism by which obesity develops still remains elusive. Recently, we reported that the expression levels of bromodomain-containing protein 7 (BRD7) are significantly reduced in the liver of obese mice. However, it is not clear whether decreased levels of hepatic BRD7 are directly associated with the development of obesity and disturbance in glucose homeostasis. Here, using heterozygous BRD7 knockout and liver-specific BRD7 knockout mouse models, we report that reduced BRD7 levels lead to increased weight gain with little effect on glucose metabolism. On the other hand, upregulating BRD7 in the liver starting at an early age protects mice from gaining excessive weight and developing glucose intolerance and insulin resistance when challenged with a high-fat diet. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Brd7 protein, mouse). 0 (Chromosomal Proteins, Non-Histone). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Emerging data show that dietary patterns are associated with different communities of bacterial species within the gut. Prevotella species have been correlated with plant-rich diets, abundant in carbohydrates and fibres. Dysbiosis within the gut ecosystem has been associated with the development of non-communicable diseases such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, colorectal cancer, type 1 diabetes, allergies and other diseases. The purpose of this comprehensive literature review was to evaluate the available data on the impact of diet on the Prevotella genus, as a dietary fibre fermenter in the gut as well as its implications as a potential biomarker for homeostasis or disease state through its metabolite signature. Studies were identified by conducting PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection and Google Scholar electronic searches. We found eighty-five publications reporting the impact of dietary patterns on gut microbial communities, including Prevotella or Prevotella/Bacteroides ratio in particular. Moreover, the role of Prevotella species on health status was also evaluated. Prevotella possess a high genetic diversity, representing one of the important groups found in the oral cavity and large intestine of man. The gut commensal Prevotella bacteria contribute to polysaccharide breakdown, being dominant colonisers of agrarian societies. However, studies also suggested a potential role of Prevotella species as intestinal pathobionts. Further metagenomic studies are needed in order to reveal health- or disease-modulating properties of Prevotella species in the gut. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Fiber). 0 (Polysaccharides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Clinical studies demonstrate that circulating IGFBP-2 levels associated inversely with body mass index (BMI) and insulin resistance. To explore possible epigenetic changes of the IGFBP2 gene in obesity, we analyzed DNA methylation and mRNA expression in adipocytes from different depots. Healthy lean controls (BMI=24.5+/-0.3kg/m2, n=19) and obese subjects (BMI>35kg/m2, n=24) were recruited. All subjects were Swedish Caucasian. Visceral abdominal adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) fragments were homogenized. Genomic DNA and total RNAs were extracted. Four CpG sites in the IGFBP2 gene promoter region were analyzed with bisulfite pyrosequencing. IGFBP2 gene expression at mRNA levels was determined with TaqMan real time RT-PCR. Serum samples were used for measurement of circulating IGFBP-2 and leptin levels. IGFBP2 DNA methylation levels in VAT were increased in obese subjects compared with controls (P<.05). By contrast, IGFBP2 mRNA expression levels in VAT were lower in obesity subjects than in controls (P<.05). In SAT, IGFBP2 DNA methylation and RNA expression levels were lower than in VAT, irrespective of obesity. Obese subjects demonstrated increased serum leptin levels (P<.001) and reduced serum IGFBP-2 levels compared to controls (P<.05). In conclusion, the current study demonstrates that IGFBP2 DNA methylation levels are increased in VAT from obese subjects. This suggests that IGFBP-2 is epigenetically regulated in abdominal obesity.

GCF was collected from normal-weight and obese subjects at completion of alignment at least 1 month after placement of 0.019 x 0.025-inch stainless-steel archwires. The primary outcome was the difference in GCF biomarker levels between groups. Secondary outcomes included differences in clinical parameters of plaque and gingival indices, unstimulated whole-mouth saliva, and GCF flow rates. + + RESULTS: Thirty-eight subjects (18 male, 20 female) with a mean age of 25.6 (SD, 6.3) years and mean body mass index (BMI) of 22.6 (1.6) in normal-weight and 32.4 (2.2) kg/m2 in obese groups were investigated. Apart from BMI (P < .0001), there were no statistically significant differences in essential demographics between groups. Significantly increased levels of the adipokine leptin (P < .009) and the tissue-remodeling biomarker matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9; P < .020) were identified in the obese cohort. For the remainder of the biomarkers, including the RANKL bone-remodeling marker and several inflammatory markers, there were no significant differences between groups. No correlation was observed between plaque index or gingival index for any GCF biomarker for either group (P = .07-1.00). + + CONCLUSIONS: This study investigated the GCF biochemical profile of obese and normal-weight subjects undergoing fixed-appliance orthodontic treatment. Significantly increased levels of the adipokine leptin and the tissue-remodeling biomarker MMP9 were identified in the obese group. These data provide evidence of differences in GCF biochemistry between obese and normal-weight subjects undergoing fixed appliance orthodontic treatment. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Metabolic diseases are commonly associated with different abnormalities that hold a key role in the emergence and progression of frequent disorders including diabetes mellitus (DM), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), obesity, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. The burden of metabolic diseases is believed to arise through complex interaction between genetic and epigenetic factors, lifestyle changes and environmental exposure to triggering stimuli. The diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disorders continue to be an overwhelming challenge. Thus, the development of novel biomarkers may enhance the accuracy of the diagnosis at an early stage of the disease and allow effective intervention. Over the past decade, progress has been made in exploring the potential role of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the regulation of gene networks involved in metabolic diseases. A growing body of evidence now suggests that aberrant expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs) is relevant to the occurrence and development of metabolic diseases. Accordingly, circRNAs are proposed as predictive biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for these diseases. As the field of circRNAs is rapidly evolving and knowledge is increasing, the present paper provides current understanding of the regulatory roles of these RNA species mainly in the pathogenesis of DM, NAFLD and obesity. Furthermore, some of the limitations to the promise of circRNAs and perspectives on their future research are discussed. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Circular). 0 (RNA, Untranslated). 63231-63-0 (RNA). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

One hundred eighty-two women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who met the 2003 Rotterdam diagnostic criteria and 150 controls without PCOS were recruited. We partitioned women with PCOS into groups according to body mass index or blood glucose concentrations, determined serum ZAG, anthropometric parameters, metabolic and endocrine indicators, and inflammatory markers, and statistically analyzed the results. Eighty-two overweight/obese subjects of the recruited women with PCOS were then randomly assigned to groups administered either 12 weeks of exenatide injection (10 mug b.i.d.) or oral metformin (1,000 mg b.i.d.). Circulating ZAG levels were determined after 12 weeks of treatment. The results showed that circulating ZAG was significantly lower in PCOS women than in healthy women (p < 0.01). Overweight/obese women and those with higher blood glucose levels had lower circulating ZAG. After 12 weeks of exenatide or metformin treatment, there were significant increases (p < 0.01) in circulating ZAG in both treatment groups (the exenatide baseline level was 46.54 +/- 2.38 ng/mL vs. 56.41 +/- 2.02 ng/mL after treatment, p < 0.01; metformin baseline was 47.81 +/- 2.14 ng/mL vs. 55.67 +/- 2.01 ng/mL after treatment, p < 0.01), however there was no statistical difference between the 2 treatments (p > 0.05). Circulating ZAG is closely related to PCOS and could be an important adipokine involved in the occurrence and development of PCOS. ZAG might possibly be applicable as a new observational indicator in the treatment of PCOS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (AZGP1 protein, human). 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Carrier Proteins). 0 (Glycoproteins). 0 (Hypoglycemic Agents). 9100L32L2N (Metformin). 9P1872D4OL (Exenatide). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

In the current study, we developed a novel machine learning approach to overcome the caveats of existing approaches. + + METHODS: Non-invasive parameters were selected by an ensemble feature selection (EFS) from a retrospectively collected training cohort of 164 obese individuals (age: 43.5+/-10.3y; BMI: 54.1+/-10.1kg/m2) to develop a model able to predict the histological assessed NAFLD activity score (NAS). The model was evaluated in an independent validation cohort (122 patients, age: 45.2+/-11.75y, BMI: 50.8+/-8.61kg/m2). + + RESULTS: EFS identified age, gammaGT, HbA1c, adiponectin, and M30 as being highly associated with NAFLD. The model reached a Spearman correlation coefficient with the NAS of 0.46 in the training cohort and was able to differentiate between NAFL (NAS<=4) and NASH (NAS>4) with an AUC of 0.73. In the independent validation cohort, an AUC of 0.7 was achieved for this separation. We further analyzed the potential of the new model for disease monitoring in an obese cohort of 38 patients under lifestyle intervention for one year. While all patients lost weight under intervention, increasing scores were observed in 15 patients. Increasing scores were associated with significantly lower absolute weight loss, lower reduction of waist circumference and basal metabolic rate. + + CONCLUSIONS: A newly developed model (http://CHek.heiderlab.de) can predict presence or absence of NASH with reasonable performance. The new score could be used to detect NASH and monitor disease progression or therapy response to weight loss interventions. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Our study objectives were (1) to describe how obesity influences broad iron nutrition spectrum biomarkers such as available or circulating iron (serum transferrin receptor (sTfr) and serum iron), iron reserves (ferritin), and functional iron (hemoglobin); and (2) to depict the regulating role of hepcidin. The above was carried out while considering influential factors such as initial iron nutrition status, iron intake, and the presence of inflammation. Ninety three non-anemic pregnant adult women were included, 40 with obesity (Ob) and 53 with adequate weight (AW); all took =30 mg/day of supplementary iron. Information on iron intake and blood samples were obtained at gestational weeks 13, 20, 27, and 35. A series of repeated measure analyses were performed using General Linear Models to discern the effect of obesity on each iron indicator; iron intake, hepcidin, and C-reactive protein were successively introduced as covariates. Available and circulating iron was lower in obese women: sTfr was higher (p = 0.07) and serum iron was lower (p = 0.01); and ferritin and hemoglobin were not different between groups. Hepcidin was higher in the Ob group (p = 0.01) and was a significant predictor variable for all biomarkers. Obesity during pregnancy dysregulates iron homeostasis, resembling "obesity hypoferremia". +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Hemoglobins). 0 (Hepcidins). 0 (Receptors, Transferrin). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 9007-73-2 (Ferritins).

Upregulated arginase, a ureahydrolase enzyme with two isoforms (A1-cytosolic and A2-mitochondrial), is implicated in pathologies associated with obesity and diabetes. This study examined A2 involvement in obesity-associated metabolic and vascular disorders. WT and globally deleted A2(-/-) or A1(+/-) mice were fed either a high fat/high sucrose (HFHS) diet or normal diet (ND) for 16 weeks. Increases in body and VAT weight of HFHS-fed WT mice were abrogated in A2-/-, but not A1+/-, mice. Additionally, A2-/- HFHS-fed mice exhibited higher energy expenditure, lower blood glucose, and insulin levels compared to WT HFHS mice. VAT and adipocytes from WT HFHS fed mice showed greater A2 expression and adipocyte size and reduced expression of PGC-1alpha, PPAR-gamma, and adiponectin. A2 deletion blunted these effects, increased levels of active AMPK-alpha, and upregulated genes involved in fatty acid metabolism. A2 deletion prevented HFHS-induced VAT collagen deposition and inflammation, which are involved in adipocyte metabolic dysfunction. Endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation, impaired by HFHS diet, was significantly preserved in A2-/- mice, but more prominently maintained in A1+/- mice. In summary, A2 is critically involved in HFHS-induced VAT inflammation and metabolic dysfunction. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids). 57-50-1 (Sucrose).

We aimed to evaluate the association of these markers with growth, obesity, and parameters of insulin resistance in lean and obese children and adolescents. + + METHODS: We measured sclerostin, osteoprotegerin, and B-ALP in fasting and oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) serum samples from 1,325 children and adolescents, and during 24-h profiles and after exercise and glucose exposure in young adults. + + RESULTS: In addition to the positive relationship with height standard deviation scores (SDS), sclerostin (r = 0.035, p < 0.001) and B-ALP (r = 0.06, p = 0.028) increased, whereas osteoprotegerin (r = -0.098, p < 0.001) decreased with BMI SDS. Furthermore, B-ALP correlated with fasting- and oGTT-derived markers of glucose and insulin metabolism suggestive of insulin resistance. To evaluate potential confounding diurnal variation of bone markers, we performed 24-h profiles. B-ALP and osteoprotegerin had lower night-time levels. Exercise acutely and transiently increased B-ALP and osteoprotegerin levels, but glucose ingestion had no effect. + + CONCLUSIONS: Besides their association with growth, sclerostin and osteoprotegerin levels are altered in childhood obesity. Particularly B-ALP was related to insulin resistance indices. Our findings accent the link between bone, growth, and insulin resistance. Copyright © 2019 S.

Earlier studies on GABPB1 reported that two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) such as rs7181866 and rs8031031, to be associated with increased endurance in athletes. In the present study, a cohort of 302 South Indians, including normoglycemic healthy controls, T2DM with and without obesity were genotyped for the two SNPs by PCR-RFLP method and correlated with serum adipokines. The 'G' allele of rs7181866 was found to be associated with obesity whereas rs8031031 didn't show any significant association with obese individuals. The increased levels of adipokines such as Leptin, IL-6 and TNF-alpha and decreased adiponectin were found among obese-T2DM, when compared to non-obese T2DM subjects. Further, Factor analysis on metabolic components revealed four factors which accounts for 71.5% for non-obese control and 88.3% for obese T2DM of variance. The bias-corrected and accelerated bootstrap analysis revealed GG genotype to have significant positive and negative correlation with both TNF-alpha and adiponectin. In conclusion, the G allele of (rs7181866 A/G) was found to be significantly associated with risk for obesity among T2DM subjects. Copyright © 2019.

The relationship between steroid hormones and cardiometabolic profile in PCOS has been evaluated, but no single hormonal predictor of this association has been identified to determine. To determine the relationship between steroid hormones and cardiometabolic risk factors in PCOS women. Study included 64 women diagnosed with PCOS. Fasting blood samples were analyzed for biochemical, metabolic parameters and sex steroid hormones. PCOS women with BMI>/-27 had significantly higher serum free testosterone (FT), free androgen index (FAI), estrone (E1) (p=0.014, p=0.02, p=0.01) than those with normal weight. In all subjects E1 positively correlated with BMI (p=0.0067), serum insulin (p=0.0046), HOMA-IR (p=0.0125) and negatively with HDL-cholesterol (p=0.009). FAI positively correlated with serum cholesterol (p=0.0457), triacylglycerols (TAG) (p=0.0001), HOMA-IR (p=0.037), and glycemia (p=0.0001), negatively with HDL-cholesterol (p=0.029). In multiple linear regression model E1 most significantly predicted HOMA-IR, whereas FT/FAI predicted HDL-cholesterol and BMI. We conclude that PCOS women with marked overweight or obesity have higher FT, FAI and E1 as compared with nonobese PCOS subjects. E1 and FT may predict worse cardiometabolic profile in PCOS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Gonadal Steroid Hormones). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.33549%2fphysiolres.934062 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Lazurova&issn=0862-8408&title=Physiological+Research&atitle=Relationship+between+steroid+hormones+and+metabolic+profile+in+women+with+polycystic+ovary+syndrome.&volume=68&issue=3&spage=457&epage=465&date=2019&doi=10.33549%2Fphysiolres.934062&pmid=30904012&sid=OVID:medline + +<1732> +Unique Identifier + 30903794 +Title + Modulation of soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) isoforms and their ligands in healthy aging. +Source + Aging. 11(6):1648-1663, 2019 03 23. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Scavello F; Zeni F; Tedesco CC; Mensa E; Veglia F; Procopio AD; Bonfigli AR; Olivieri F; Raucci A +Authors Full Name + Scavello, Francesco; Zeni, Filippo; Tedesco, Calogero C; Mensa, Emanuela; Veglia, Fabrizio; Procopio, Antonio Domenico; Bonfigli, Anna Rita; Olivieri, Fabiola; Raucci, Angela. +Institution + Scavello, Francesco.

Two circulating soluble isoforms exist: esRAGE derived from alternative splicing and cRAGE generated by the membrane-bound RAGE (FL-RAGE) proteolysis. Together, esRAGE and cRAGE constitute sRAGE and function as decoy receptors preventing FL-RAGE/ligands binding. We determined serum concentration of both, esRAGE and cRAGE, and their ligands AGEs, HMGB1 and S100A8/A9 in a healthy population of 169 subjects aged 20-90 years. cRAGE showed a negative (r=-0.375, P<0.0001) while AGEs (r=0.160, P=0.0384) and S100A8/A9 (r=0.207, P=0.0091) a positive correlation with age. esRAGE did not change during aging and inversely correlated with Hemoglobin, ALT, insulin, HOMA index, Waist-Hip ratio (W/H), Waist Circumference (WC) and positively with AGEs. cRAGE exhibited also an inverse correlation with WC, W/H, PAI-1, HMGB1, AGEs and S100A8/A9. Age, W/H, HMGB1, S100A8/A9 and AGEs are independent predictors of cRAGE, whereas W/H and AGEs associate with esRAGE. Treatment of cells with glycated albumin reduced cRAGE production and upregulated FL-RAGE. These results indicate that in a healthy population cRAGE is a biomarker of aging while esRAGE represents a more reliable marker of obesity and insulin resistance. Hence, sRAGE isoforms levels could be differentially associated with age-related diseases risk factors. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Ligands). 0 (Protein Isoforms). 0 (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Drugs that inhibit the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), including angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) antagonists, have been reported to delay the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D), suggesting improvements in insulin sensitivity or regulation of pancreatic insulin secretion. Pancreatic islets possess components of the RAS, including AT1R, but it is unclear if AngII acts at islets to regulate insulin secretion during the development of T2D. + + METHODS: We deleted AT1aR from pancreatic islets and examined effects on insulin secretion in mice fed a low-fat (LF) or high-fat (HF) diet. In separate studies, to exacerbate the system, we infused HF-fed mice of each genotype with AngII. + + RESULTS: Pancreatic AT1aR deficiency impaired glucose tolerance and elevated plasma glucose concentrations in HF, but not LF-fed mice. In HF-fed mice, high glucose increased insulin secretion from islets of AT1aRfl/fl, but not AT1aRpdx mice. In AngII-infused mice, following glucose challenge, plasma glucose or insulin concentrations were not significantly different between genotypes. Moreover, high glucose stimulated insulin secretion from islets of AT1aRfl/fl and AT1aRpdx mice, presumably related to weight loss, and improved insulin sensitivity in both groups of AngII-infused HF-fed mice. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that during the adaptive response to insulin resistance from HF feeding, AngII promotes insulin secretion from islets through an AT1aR mechanism. These results suggest the timing of initiation of AT1R blockade may be important in the progression from prediabetes to T2D with beta-cell failure.

The Western pattern diet has been linked with the onset of chronic inflammation, and serious health problems including obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases. Diets enriched with omega-3 marine PUFAs have revealed additional improvements in health status associated to a reduction of proinflammatory omega-3 and omega-6 lipid mediators. Lipid mediators are produced from enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidation of PUFAs. Interest in better understanding the occurrence of these metabolites has increased exponentially as a result of the growing evidence of their role on inflammatory processes, control of the immune system, cell signaling, onset of metabolic diseases, or even cancer. The scope of this review has been to highlight the recent findings on: a) the formation of lipid mediators and their role in different inflammatory and metabolic conditions, b) the direct use of lipid mediators as antiinflammatory drugs or the potential of new drugs as a new therapeutic option for the synthesis of antiinflammatory or resolving lipid mediators and c) the impact of nutritional interventions to modulate lipid mediators synthesis towards antiinflammatory conditions. In a second part, we have summarized methodological approaches (Lipidomics) for the accurate analysis of lipid mediators. Although several techniques have been used, most authors preferred the combination of SPE with LC-MS. Advantages and disadvantages of each method are herein addressed, as well as the main LC-MS difficulties and challenges for the establishment of new biomarkers and standardization of experimental designs, and finally to deepen the study of mechanisms involved on the inflammatory response.

Exploratory measures included recovery from AKI (regaining >75% of pre-AKI estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]) at 6 months, development or progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (kidney function decrease of >=25% + rise in CKD category) at 12 months, and associations with poorer kidney outcomes. + + RESULTS: 41% of eligible patients consented to take part, exceeding the target recruitment uptake rate of 15%. Retention was 86% at 6 months and 78% at 12 months; 10 patients died and three commenced dialysis during the study. Data were 90%-100% complete. Median BMI was 27.9 kg/m2 (range 18.1 kg/m2-54.3 kg/m2). 50% of the cohort had stage 3 AKI and 49% had pre-existing CKD. 46% of the cohort met the AKI recovery definition at 6 months. At 12 months, 20/51 patients developed CKD (39%) and CKD progression occurred in 11/49 patients (22%). Post-AKI interleukin-6 and cystatin-C were associated with 12 months decline in eGFR. + + CONCLUSIONS: Feasibility to conduct a long-term observational study addressing AKI outcomes associated with obesity was demonstrated. A fully powered prospective cohort study to examine the relationships between obesity and outcomes of AKI is warranted. Copyright © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2019.

We aimed to ascertain the prevalence and determinants of NAFLD in a new largely unmedicated population-based cohort from the rapidly gentrifying region of Pinggu, China. + + METHODS: We randomized cluster sampled 4002 Pinggu residents aged 26 to 76 years. Data from 1238 men and 1928 women without significant alcohol drinking or hepatitis virus B or C infection were analysed. NAFLD was defined using a liver-spleen ratio (L/S ratio) <=1.1 on unenhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) scanning. + + RESULTS: Of men and women, 26.5% and 20.1%, respectively, had NAFLD. NAFLD prevalence was highest in younger men and older women. In multivariate logistic regression models, higher body mass index, waist circumference, serum triglyceride, alanine transaminase, and haemoglobin A1c independently increased the odds of NAFLD in both men and women separately. Higher annual household income and systolic blood pressure for men and higher serum uric acid and red meat intake and lower physical activity levels for women also independently associated with higher odds of NAFLD. Individuals with L/S ratio <=1.1 had linearly increasing rates of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome that paralleled fatty liver increase. + + CONCLUSIONS: NAFLD is common in a gentrifying Chinese population particularly in younger men of high socioeconomic status and older women with sedentary behaviour who eat red meat. Demographic factors add independent risk of NAFLD above traditional metabolic risk factors. A CT L/S ratio of <=1.1 identifies individuals at high risk of metabolic disease.

The participants were matched based on body mass index and randomized to the intervention (curcumin formulated with fenugreek soluble fiber, for enhanced absorption) or control (fenugreek soluble fiber) group for 12 wk at 500mg/d without dietary modification or exercise. Blood samples and endothelial function measures were acquired at 0 and 12 wk, and blood samples were analyzed for cardiovascular disease-related blood biomarkers. Furthermore, central (aortic) blood pressure and augmentation index were monitored at 0, 4, 8, and 12 wk. + + RESULTS: After 12 wk of intervention, homocysteine levels were lower (curcumin before: 12.22 +/- 2.29 microg/mL, after: 8.62 +/- 1.02 microg/mL versus placebo before: 9.45 +/- 0.84 microg/mL, after: 11.84 +/- 1.63 microg/mL; P=0.04) and high-density lipoprotein levels were higher (curcumin before: 40.77 +/- 5.37 mg/dL, after: 54.56 +/- 11.72 mg/dL versus placebo before: 61.20 +/- 5.76 mg/dL, after: 48.82 +/- 5.49 mg/dL; P=0.04) in the curcumin group relative to the placebo group. However, there was no significant difference in changes between the circulating concentrations of glucose, insulin, leptin, adiponectin, or oxidative stress biomarkers in the curcumin group compared with the placebo group (P > 0.05). No changes were found with endothelial function, augmentation index, or central blood pressure in the curcumin group compared with the placebo group (P > 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Our data provide evidence for an enhanced bioavailable curcumin to improve homocysteine and high-density lipoprotein concentrations, which may promote favorable cardiovascular health in young, obese men. Improvements in endothelial function or blood pressure were not observed with curcumin supplementation, thus further investigation is warranted. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

It is mainly expressed and secreted in liver and adipose tissues, and it is expressed in lower amounts in the aorta. Recent clinical and preclinical studies indicate increased serum FGF21 levels in atherosclerosis patients. Also, FGF21 therapy has been reported to reduce the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis in animal models and in vitro studies. Moreover, growing evidence indicates that administration of exogenous FGF21 induces anti-atherosclerotic effects, because of its ability to reduce lipid profile, alleviation of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Therefore, FGF21 can not only be considered as a biomarker for predicting atherosclerosis, but also induce protective effects against atherosclerosis. Besides, serum levels of FGF21 increase in various diseases including in diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity, which may be related to initiating and exacerbating atherosclerosis. On the other hand, FGF21 therapy significantly improves lipid profiles, and reduces vascular inflammation and oxidative stress in atherosclerosis related diseases. Therefore, further prospective studies are needed to clarify whether FGF21 can be used as a prognostic biomarker to identify individuals at future risk of atherosclerosis in these atherosclerosis-associated diseases. In this review, we will discuss the possible mechanism by which FGF21 protects against atherosclerosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (fibroblast growth factor 21). 62031-54-3 (Fibroblast Growth Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

To date, no study has investigated the association between elevated CRP and incidents of cancer among Mexican Americans. In the current prospective cohort study, we measured pre-diagnostic CRP levels in serum samples and evaluated their relationships with demographic characteristics and health behaviors associated with cancer risk among 2753 Mexican Americans selected from the Mano-A-Mano Mexican American Cohort Study. At baseline, median levels of serum CRP significantly differed by demographics (sex, age category, marital status, and education levels) and health behaviors (cigarette smoking status, alcohol drinking status, BMI category, and physical activity levels). In the multivariable analysis, the study participants who were women, older, never drinking alcohol, overweight or obese, and physically inactive had increased likelihood of having high CRP levels (>= median levels among all study participants) compared to their counterparts. A total of 177 cancer cases were identified during the follow-up with a median follow-up time of 127 months. In the quartile analysis, study participants in the 4th quartile with highest CRP levels had significantly 1.88 fold increased risk of cancer (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.88, 95%CI: 1.12, 3.13) compared to those in the 1st quartile with lowest CRP levels. The association was further confirmed in analyses using clinical CRP levels. In summary, our findings suggested that serum CRP levels have potential to serve as a predictive marker of cancer risk in Mexican Americans. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

We estimate the impacts of information provided by Korea's National Health Screening Program by applying a regression discontinuity design around different biomarker thresholds of diabetes, obesity, and hyperlipidemia risk using administrative data that includes medical claims, biomarkers, and behavioral surveys over four years after screening. Generally, we find limited responses to disease risk information alone.

We included 22,946 men and women from 11 rural communities at baseline (2005-2011). Epidemiological data and blood samples were collected. Incident physician-diagnosed T2DM cases (130 men and 148 women) were self-reported or based on fasting glucose >=126 mg/dL or HbA1c level >=6.5% during a median follow-up of 3.0 years (58,916 person-years) between 2007 and 2014. After multivariate adjustment for T2DM risk factors, the hazard ratios for developing T2DM in the highest CRP tertile (T3), compared with the lowest (T1), was 2.80 (1.73-4.52; p for trend <0.0001) in women and 1.67 (1.00-2.45; p for trend 0.02) in men. The associations between CRP and incident T2DM were more prominent among the older group (>=50 years). And CRP and its combination with obesity and hypertension were associated with increased risk of T2DM. In conclusion, we found positive associations between CRP and incident T2DM in a large population-based Korean cohort. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

A disturbance in the regulation of energy metabolism can be a key reason for the formation of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Moreover, mitochondrial dysfunction leads to oxidative stress, which increases the production of proinflammatory cytokines. In this regard, the aim of this study was to identify the relationship of the copy number of mtDNA in adipose tissue from different locations (subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), mesentery (Mes), greater omentum (GO)), liver biopsy samples and mononuclear blood cells (MNCs) with endothelial dysfunction markers (eNOS, ET-1, iCAM-1, vCAM-1, VEGF) and inflammatory mediators (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8, CRP, leptin) in obese patients (body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m2) with and without type 2 diabetes. + + METHODS: The study included 88 obese patients (BMI > 35 kg/m2) treated at the Kaliningrad Region Hospital. The control group consisted of 20 healthy donors. To measure mtDNA copy number we used droplet digital PCR. The concentrations of molecules (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8, VEGF, eNOS, ET-1, iCAM-1, vCAM-1, VEGF) were measured in plasma using the following sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Quantitative determination of leptin was evaluated by flow-fluorimetry on a <>. Statistical analysis and graphs were obtained in R Statistical Software (version 3.3.1). + + RESULTS: The systemic character of chronic subclinical inflammation in obesity is established, and an increase in the level of endothelial dysfunction molecules was observed in the blood plasma. The levels of TNF-a, IL-6, and IL-8 were positively correlated with increases in BMI, serum glucose and cholesterol levels. + + CONCLUSIONS: The copy number of mtDNA in various fat stores was higher in obese patients with type 2 diabetes than in obese patients without diabetes or in the control subjects and was related to the levels of leptin and proinflammatory cytokines. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (DNA, Mitochondrial). 0 (Endothelin-1). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 126547-89-5 (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim was to investigate the association between fecal and blood microbiota profiles and the presence of NAFLD in obese versus lean subjects. Demographic and clinical data were reviewed in 268 health checkup examinees, whose fecal and blood samples were available for microbiota analysis. NAFLD was diagnosed with ultrasonography, and subjects with NAFLD were further categorized as obese (body mass index (BMI) >=25) or lean (BMI <25). Fecal and blood microbiota communities were analyzed by sequencing of the V3-V4 domains of the 16S rRNA genes. Correlation between microbiota taxa and NAFLD was assessed using zero-inflated Gaussian mixture models, with adjustment of age, sex, and BMI, and Bonferroni correction. The NAFLD group (n = 76) showed a distinct bacterial community with a lower biodiversity and a far distant phylotype compared with the control group (n = 192). In the gut microbiota, the decrease in Desulfovibrionaceae was associated with NAFLD in the lean NAFLD group (log2 coefficient (coeff.) = -2.107, P = 1.60E-18), but not in the obese NAFLD group (log2 coeff. = 1.440, P = 1.36E-04). In the blood microbiota, Succinivibrionaceae showed opposite correlations in the lean (log2 coeff. = -1.349, P = 5.34E-06) and obese NAFLD groups (log2 coeff. = 2.215, P = 0.003). Notably, Leuconostocaceae was associated with the obese NAFLD in the gut (log2 coeff. = -1.168, P = 0.041) and blood (log2 coeff. = -2.250, P = 1.28E-10). In conclusion, fecal and blood microbiota profiles showed different patterns between subjects with obese and lean NAFLD, which might be potential biomarkers to discriminate diverse phenotypes of NAFLD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Ribosomal, 16S). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

We investigated the associations of these previously reported common variants in these genes with insulin resistance in overweight children from Romania and Moldova. Methods Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), IGF1 (rs35767), IRS1 (rs2943634), GCKR (rs780094), PPARG (rs1801282), GCK1 (rs1799884) and KCTD15 (rs29941), were genotyped in 100 overweight children along with clinical and metabolic parameters. Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) above 3.4 (defining insulin resistance) was used as the outcome. Results Children differed in insulin resistance status despite having similar body mass index (BMI) standard deviation scores (SDS) (World Health Organization, [WHO] reference). The identified predictors for altered insulin metabolism were higher cholesterol levels, higher diastolic blood pressure and higher waist-to-hip-ratio (as a marker for increased abdominal fat). None of the SNPs showed significant association with increase in the risk for insulin resistance in children (p range=0.478-0.724; odds ratio [OR] range=1.924-4.842); however, the risk allele in GCKR (rs780094, p=0.06, OR=6.871) demonstrated near statistical significance. Conclusions The interrogated risk alleles did not show any significant association with insulin resistance in children in our cohort; however, the GCKR (rs780094) might be a viable candidate in larger cohorts. The lack of replication of the proposed association may point to differences in linkage disequilibrium or effect modifiers across studies. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adaptor Proteins, Signal Transducing). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Co-Repressor Proteins). 0 (GCKR protein, human). 0 (Germinal Center Kinases). 0 (IGF1 protein, human). 0 (IRS1 protein, human). 0 (Insulin Receptor Substrate Proteins). 0 (KCTD1 protein, human). 0 (PPAR gamma). 0 (PPARG protein, human). 0 (Repressor Proteins). 67763-96-6 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor I).

As well, hyperactivation of adrenal axis can be programmed early in life and could be related later with PCOS development. Our aim was to establish the relationship between vitamin D and adrenal parameters with metabolic alterations and inflammation markers in PCOS. In 73 patients and 33 controls, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D), total and bioavailable testosterone (TT and bioT), androstenedione (A4), SHBG, cortisol, insulin, and C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were determined; HOMA and lipid accumulation product (LAP) index were calculated. All parameters were higher in patients than in controls, except for SHBG and 25-OH-D which were lower. Binary regression analysis showed that differences in TT, bioT, A4, insulin and HOMA were independent of body mass index and waist circumference but SHBG, hs-CRP, LAP and 25-OH-D were related to body weight and fat distribution. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that cortisol and 25-OH-D could be associated to PCOS development.

To assess whether the hormonal milieu, the body fat distribution and the insulin metabolism may affect energy consumption in these patients. + + METHODS: This is a monocentric observational prospective cohort study, including 109 Caucasian PCOS subjects and 31 healthy control women. (Median age PCOS 26.0 +/- 9.2 years, controls 25.5 +/- 8.5 years; median BMI-body mass index PCOS 26.4 +/- 9.4 kg/m2, controls 27.2 +/- 12.8 kg/m2). RMR was evaluated by the SenseWear Armband (SWA), a reliable and validated metabolic holter, never previously used in the PCOS population to this purpose. Hormonal assessment, insulin metabolism evaluated by HOMA-IR and OGTT, anthropometric features (BMI and WHR) were also assessed. + + RESULTS: Median RMR resulted similar in PCOS and control women: 1520.0 +/- 248.00 kcal/day vs 1464.0 +/- 332.70 kcal/day (p = 0.472), even after adjusting for BMI, fat distribution, insulin metabolism parameters. RMR resulted significantly correlated with BMI, WHR, estradiol levels, SHBG, total cholesterol, triglycerides, basal glycaemia, basal insulinemia, AUC insulin 240', and HOMA. In the subgroup of patients with WHR > 0.85, PCOS women showed a significantly lower RMR compared with controls. + + CONCLUSIONS: The higher prevalence of obesity, which negatively influences the reproductive and general health of PCOS women, could be related to factors other than an intrinsic alteration of the RMR. Further studies are needed to clarify the possible role of the visceral fat in modulating the energy balance in PCOS. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier NCT03132545. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Lipids). 0 (SHBG protein, human). 0 (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin). 4TI98Z838E (Estradiol). +Publication Type + Clinical Trial.

The timing and pace at which various developmental events occur during adolescence is highly diverse and thus results in a drastic change in blood biochemistry. Monitoring the physiological levels of various biochemical measures in ample number of individuals during adolescence can call up for an early intervention in managing metabolic diseases in adulthood. Today, only a couple of studies in different populations have investigated blood biochemistry in a small number of adolescents however, there is no comprehensive biochemical data available worldwide. In view, we performed a cross-sectional study in a sizeable group of 7,618 Indian adolescents (3,333 boys and 4,285 girls) aged between 11-17 years to inspect the distribution of values of common biochemical parameters that generally prevails during adolescence and we observed that various parameters considerably follow the reported values from different populations being 3.56-6.49mmol/L (fasting glucose), 10.60-199.48pmol/L (insulin), 0.21-3.22nmol/L (C-peptide), 3.85-6.25% (HbA1c), 2.49-5.54mmol/L (total cholesterol), 1.16-3.69mmol/L (LDL), 0.78-1.85mmol/L (HDL), 0.33-2.24mmol/L (triglycerides), 3.56-11.45mmol/L (urea), 130.01-440.15mumol/L (uric acid) and 22.99-74.28mumol/L (creatinine). Barring LDL and triglycerides, all parameters differed significantly between boys and girls (p< 0.001). Highest difference was seen for uric acid (p = 1.3 x10-187) followed by C-peptide (p = 6.6 x10-89). Across all ages during adolescence, glycemic and nitrogen metabolites parameters varied markedly with gender. Amongst lipid parameters, only HDL levels were found to be significantly associated with gender following puberty (p< 0.001). All parameters except urea, differed considerably in obese and lean adolescents (p< 0.0001). The present study asserts that age, sex and BMI are the essential contributors to variability in blood biochemistry during adolescence. Our composite data on common blood biochemical measures will benefit future endeavors to define reference intervals in adolescents especially when the global availability is scarce. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (C-Peptide). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The objective of the present study is to examine the association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] with elevated SF concentrations indicative of inflammation as no earlier study has done so. Data from 5550 Canadian adults who participated in the 2012/2013 and the 2014/2015 Canadian Health Measures Surveys were analysed. We observed that 9.4% of Canadian adults have elevated SF concentrations and that 35.6% were vitamin D insufficient. Among Canadians with under/normal body weights, those with serum 25(OH)D >= 75 nmol/L relative to those with serum 25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L, were substantially less at risk for elevated SF concentrations (OR = 0.24; 95% CI = 0.06, 0.89; p = 0.034). We did not observe this association for overweight and obese Canadians. Canadians of older age, non-white ethnicity, males, those with income above $100,000, those who consumed alcohol, and those with high total cholesterol concentrations and elevated blood pressures were more likely to have elevated SF concentrations. Serum 25(OH)D >= 75 nmol/L is likely to provoke anti-inflammatory benefits, but intervention studies that achieve high 25(OH)D concentrations and with long follow up are needed to establish the role of vitamin D on SF. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Vitamins). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). 9007-73-2 (Ferritins).

Although breakthroughs in pre-clinical studies have resulted in potentially actionable targets in AA BC, drugs that were rationally designed for these targets have performed poorly in clinical trials. Challenges with interpatient and intratumoral heterogeneity, lack of drug sensitivity and specificity, suboptimal biomarker cut-offs, lack of drug response predictive biomarkers, drug side effects, high costs of drug development, and under-representation of AAs in clinical trials complicate the development of targeted therapies for AA BC patients. Accumulating evidence suggests that racial disparities exist in non-genetic risk factors that can alter genetic and epigenetic programs to promote breast tumorigenesis. Herein, we present a "roadmap" that addresses non-genetic risk factors that are suspected to contribute to the racial disparity in BC mortality. Increased targeting of these non-genetic risk factors may proffer a safer and more economical route to alleviating the racially disparate burden in BC. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Endocrine Disruptors). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We aimed to assess the relation between body weight change (BWC) and CVD risk change and to identify lifestyle improvement related to BWR in obese Japanese individuals. Methods: Subjects were 2579 health checkup examinees without medicated diabetes, hypertension or dyslipidemia, and a body mass index >=25 kg/m2 who completed lifestyle questionnaires in 2008 and 2012. The 4-year changes in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipids, and blood pressure (BP) levels were compared across the five groups based on the 4-year BWC, and presented as <-5%, -5% to -3%, -3% to -1%, -1% to 1%, and >=1%. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for lifestyle improvement related to BWR. Results: Comparing the groups to the reference group (BWC ranging from -1% to +1%), we observed that FPG and HbA1c levels were lower in women in the <-5% group; BP levels were also lower in the <-5% group; triglyceride levels had improved in the <-3% group, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the <-5% group; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels had improved in men in the <-5% group. In men, the adjusted OR (95% CI) for BWR related to lifestyle improvement pertaining to "over 30 min exercise" was 2.6 (2.0-3.6). In women, the adjusted ORs for BWR related to "walking or physical activity," "drinking alcohol," and "drinking more than a glass of sake" were 1.7 (1.1-2.7), 1.9 (1.1-3.5), and 1.8 (1.1-3.0), respectively. Conclusions: A 5% BWR improved FPG and HbA1c levels in obese women, and BP and lipid levels in obese men. Improvements in exercise and alcohol consumption habits were associated with BWR in this population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (Lipids). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

However, few studies have systematically assessed the genome wide changes in neutrophils associated with obesity. In this study, a hypothesis-free OMIC approach (i.e. the discovery phase) and a target approach (i.e. the validation phase) were used to identify obesity related neutrophil activation markers and their roles on CVD risks. In the discovery phase, genome wide DNA methylation, RNA-sequencing and quantitative proteomics were obtained from purified neutrophils (12 obese vs. 12 lean). In the validation phase, gene expression levels of the promising genes from the OMIC platforms were measured in 81 obese cases vs. 83 lean controls, and the association between the expression levels and CVD risks were evaluated. Significant difference was found for one gene, alkaline phosphatase, liver/bone/kidney (ALPL), across 3 OMIC platforms. In the validation phase, the gene expression levels of ALPL in leukocytes were significantly higher in obese compared with lean subjects (p < 0.05). Within the obese population, we observed that ALPL expression level showed significantly positive association with CVD risk factors (p < 0.05) including systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, carotid intima-media thickness and borderline significance with fasting insulin (p = 0.08). This study identified one novel marker ALPL of neutrophil activation in response to obesity and provided evidence that obesity induced change in ALPL expression was associated with CVD risk factors. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Proteome). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We assessed whether NAFLD predisposes to differential changes in liver fat content, liver function, and metabolic parameters upon diet-induced weight loss in a 50-week intervention trial. + + METHODS: 143 overweight and obese non-smokers underwent a 12-week dietary intervention and a 38-week follow-up. Diet-induced changes in anthropometric measures, circulating biomarkers, and magnetic resonance (MR)-derived liver fat content and adipose tissue volumes were evaluated by mixed linear models stratifying by NAFLD at baseline. + + RESULTS: The prevalence of NAFLD at baseline was 52%. Diet-induced weight loss after 12 (NAFLD: 4.8 +/- 0.5%, No NAFLD: 5.1 +/- 0.5%) and 50 weeks (NAFLD: 3.5 +/- 0.7%, No NAFLD: 3.5 +/- 0.9%) was similar in both groups, while the decrease in liver fat was significantly greater in the NAFLD group (week 12: 32.9 +/- 9.5% vs. 6.3 +/- 4.0%; week 50: 23.3 +/- 4.4% vs. 5.0 +/- 4.2%). Decreases in biomarkers of liver dysfunction (GGT, ALT, AST) and HOMA IR were also significantly greater in the NAFLD group. Other metabolic parameters showed no significant differences. + + CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that individuals with NAFLD show greater improvements of liver function and insulin sensitivity after moderate diet-induced weight loss than individuals without NAFLD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

All of them were fed either a high-fat-cholesterol diet (HCD) or chow diet. HCD-fed rabbits were treated with vehicle or PB2 daily for 12 wk. Body weight and food intake were evaluated once a week. Serum biomarkers, such as total cholesterols, triglycerides, and aspartate transaminase, were detected. All rabbits were sacrificed and histological parameters of liver were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections. Moreover, several lipogenic genes and gut microbiota (by 16S rRNA sequencing) were investigated to explore the possible mechanism. + + RESULTS: The HCD group had higher body weight, liver index, serum lipid profile, insulin resistance, serum glucose, and hepatic steatosis compared to the CHOW group. PB2 treatment prevented HCD-induced increases in body weight and hypertriglyceridemia in association with triglyceride accumulation in the liver. PB2 also ameliorated low-grade inflammation, which was reflected by serum lipopolysaccharides and improved insulin resistance. In rabbit liver, PB2 prevented the upregulation of steroid response element binding protein 1c and fatty acid synthase and the downregulation of carnitine palmitoyltransferase, compared to the HCD group. Moreover, HCD led to a decrease of Bacteroidetes in gut microbiota. PB2 significantly improved the proportions of Bacteroidetes at the phylum level and Akkermansia at the genus level. + + CONCLUSION: Our results indicate the possible mechanism of PB2 to improve HCD-induced features of metabolic syndrome and provide a new dietary supplement. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biflavonoids). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipopolysaccharides). 0 (Proanthocyanidins). 0 (Protective Agents). 0 (RNA, Ribosomal, 16S). 0 (Triglycerides). 29106-49-8 (procyanidin B2). 8R1V1STN48 (Catechin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3748%2fwjg.v25.i8.955 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Xing&issn=1007-9327&title=World+Journal+of+Gastroenterology&atitle=Procyanidin+B2+protects+against+diet-induced+obesity+and+non-alcoholic+fatty+liver+disease+via+the+modulation+of+the+gut+microbiota+in+rabbits.&volume=25&issue=8&spage=955&epage=966&date=2019&doi=10.3748%2Fwjg.v25.i8.955&pmid=30833801&sid=OVID:medline + +<1754> +Unique Identifier + 30832230 +Title + Oral Glutamine Supplementation Reduces Obesity, Pro-Inflammatory Markers, and Improves Insulin Sensitivity in DIO Wistar Rats and Reduces Waist Circumference in Overweight and Obese Humans. +Source + Nutrients. 11(3), 2019 Mar 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Abboud KY; Reis SK; Martelli ME; Zordao OP; Tannihao F; de Souza AZZ; Assalin HB; Guadagnini D; Rocha GZ; Saad MJA; Prada PO +Author NameID + Abboud, Kahlile Youssef; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9132-7409 + Reis, Sabrina Karen; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3967-0792 + Zordao, Olivia Pizetta; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0596-1954 + Rocha, Guilherme Zweig; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7403-3230 +Authors Full Name + Abboud, Kahlile Youssef; Reis, Sabrina Karen; Martelli, Maria Eduarda; Zordao, Olivia Pizetta; Tannihao, Fabiana; de Souza, Alessandra Zanin Zambom; Assalin, Heloisa Balan; Guadagnini, Dioze; Rocha, Guilherme Zweig; Saad, Mario Jose Abdalla; Prada, Patricia Oliveira. +Institution + Abboud, Kahlile Youssef.

Thirty-nine overweight/obese volunteers received 30 g of Gln or alanine (Ala-control) for 14 days. Body weight (BW), waist circumference (WC), hormones, and pro-inflammatory markers were evaluated. To investigate molecular mechanisms, Gln or Ala was given to Wistar rats on a high-fat diet (HFD), and metabolic parameters, euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp with tracers, and Western blot were done. Gln reduced WC and serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in overweight volunteers. In the obese group, Gln diminished WC and serum insulin. There was a positive correlation between the reduction on WC and LPS. In rats on HFD, Gln reduced adiposity, improved insulin action and signaling, and reversed both defects in glucose metabolism in the liver and muscle. Gln supplementation increased muscle glucose uptake and reversed the increased hepatic glucose production, in parallel with a reduced glucose uptake in adipose tissue. This insulin resistance in AT was accompanied by enhanced IRS1 O-linked-glycosamine association in this tissue, but not in the liver and muscle. These data suggest that Gln supplementation leads to insulin resistance specifically in adipose tissue via the hexosamine pathway and reduces adipose mass, which is associated with improvement in the systemic insulin action. Thus, further investigation with Gln supplementation should be performed for longer periods in humans before prescribing as a beneficial therapeutic approach for individuals who are overweight and obese. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0RH81L854J (Glutamine). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Recently, there has been an increase in the prevalence of obesity in canines; however, the information regarding diet treatments for such a condition is inadequate. + + OBJECTIVES: Targeted metabolic profiles in canine feces were performed to identify potential biomarkers of RS and demonstrate the effect and potential use of Dodamssal rice as an anti-obesity treatment. + + METHODS: Study canines were divided into three groups and fed either a regular diet, high-fat diet (HFD), or high-fat diet with Dodamssal rice (DoHFD). Fecal metabolites were analyzed using gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry and a gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. Multivariate analyses were used to analyze and visualize the obtained data. + + RESULTS: A total of 52 metabolites were detected in the canine feces. In addition, HFD group feces contained a significantly low level of C12:0. The DoHFD group feces had higher levels of 4-aminobutyric acid, glucose, and 3-hydroxybutyric acid compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSION: For the first time, targeted metabolic profiling in the canine feces in response to three diets was performed. This metabolic profiling approach should be a useful tool to detect discriminating markers as well as assess the effect of diet compositions for anti-obesity treatment of canines. Furthermore, Dodamssal rice may possibly be used not only for canines, but also to treat obesity in other animals and humans. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 9005-25-8 (Starch). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

There was improvement in biochemical markers only in the SSWG post-intervention (p<0.05), however no changes were verified in anthropometric variables (p>0.05). This study demonstrates that walking at self-selected intensity improved the lipid profile in women with obesity. Copyright © 2019 Asia Oceania Association for the Study of Obesity.

We hypothesize that adipocytokines may play a role in the pathogenesis of PE, particularly in obese women, and evaluate leptin and adiponectin as potential first trimester markers for predicting PE. + + STUDY DESIGN: A cohort of 2503 pregnancies, containing 93 PE pregnancies, was divided into women with normal weight, moderate, or severe obesity. All pregnancies had serum adiponectin and leptin measured in first trimester. Logistic regression was used to model PE with maternal characteristics and concentrations of the biomarkers. + + RESULTS: In obese women a lower concentration of adiponectin was found in PE pregnancies; the concentration was lowest in the severely obese (p=0.005). No association was found in normal weight women (p=0.72). Leptin concentration had no association with PE in normal weight and moderately obese (p=0.175-0.072), however in women with severe obesity a lower level of leptin was found (p=0.049). The AUC was 0.73 for the ROC curve of combined maternal characteristics and adiponectin. Using adiponectin in women with moderate to severe obesity the sensitivity was 72.9% and the specificity was 49%. + + CONCLUSIONS: In severely obese women, PE is associated with low serum adiponectin and leptin concentrations in first trimester. This indicates that the inability of adipokine regulation to adapt to severe obesity may play a role in the pathogenesis of PE. Adipocytokines may contribute in identification of risk pregnancies among severe obese. Copyright © 2018 International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) can undergo robust brown remodeling with appropriate stimuli and is therefore widely considered as a representative beige fat depot. However, adipose tissues residing in different anatomic depots exhibit a broad range of plasticity, raising the possibility that better beige fat depots with greater plasticity may exist. Here we identified and characterized a novel, naturally-existing beige fat depot, thigh adipose tissue (tAT). Unlike classic WATs, tAT maintains beige fat morphology at room temperature, whereas high-fat diet (HFD) feeding or aging promotes the development of typical WAT features, namely unilocular adipocytes. The brown adipocyte gene expression in tAT is consistently higher than in iWAT under cold exposure, HFD feeding, and rosiglitazone treatment conditions. Our molecular profiling by RNA-Seq revealed up-regulation of energy expenditure pathways and repressed inflammation in tAT relative to eWAT and iWAT. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the master fatty acid oxidation regulator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha is dispensable for maintaining and activating the beige character of tAT. Therefore, we have identified tAT as a natural beige adipose depot in mice with a unique molecular profile that does not require peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha.

Obese subjects (n = 10; 31.2 +/- 1.2 kg.m-2; 56 +/- 3 years) underwent 24 h of hyperglycemic clamp (+5.4 mM above basal), where plasma at basal and after 2 h and 24 h of hyperglycemic challenge were assayed for OX (methionine sulfoxide, MetSO, and aminoadipic acid, AAA) and AGE-free adducts (Ne-carboxymethyllysine, CML; Ne-carboxyethyllysine, CEL; glyoxal hydroimidazolone-1, GH-1; methylglyoxal hydroimidazolone-1, MG-H1; and 3-deoxyglucosone hydroimidazolone, 3DG-H) via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Urine was also analyzed at basal and after 24 h for OX and AGE-free adducts and plasma soluble RAGE (sRAGE) isoforms (endogenous secretory RAGE, esRAGE, and cleaved RAGE, cRAGE), and inflammatory markers were determined via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Skeletal muscle tissue collected via biopsy was probed at basal, 2 h, and 24 h for RAGE and OST48 protein expression. Plasma MetSO, AAA, CEL, MG-H1, and G-H1 decreased (-18% to -47%; p < 0.05), while CML increased (72% at 24 h; p < 0.05) and 3DG-H remained unchanged (p > 0.05) with the hyperglycemic challenge. Renal clearance of MetSO, AAA, and G-H1 increased (599% to 1077%; p < 0.05), CML decreased (-30%; p < 0.05), and 3DG-H, CEL, and MG-H1 remained unchanged (p > 0.05). Fractional excretion of MetSO, AAA, CEL, G-H1, and MG-H1 increased (5.8% to 532%; p < 0.05) and CML and 3DG-H remained unchanged (p > 0.05). Muscle RAGE and OST48 expression, plasma sRAGE, IL-1beta, IL-1Ra, and TNFalpha remained unchanged (p > 0.05), while IL-6 increased (159% vs. basal; p > 0.05). These findings suggest that individuals who are obese but otherwise healthy have the capacity to prevent accumulation of OX and AGEs during metabolic stress by increasing fractional excretion and renal clearance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycation End Products, Advanced). 0 (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products). 0 (esRAGE protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3390%2fnu11030532 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Perkins&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Experimental+Hyperglycemia+Alters+Circulating+Concentrations+and+Renal+Clearance+of+Oxidative+and+Advanced+Glycation+End+Products+in+Healthy+Obese+Humans.&volume=11&issue=3&spage=&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.3390%2Fnu11030532&pmid=30823632&sid=OVID:medline + +<1760> +Unique Identifier + 30822393 +Title + Role of brown adipose tissue in modulating adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance in high-fat diet fed mice. +Source + European Journal of Pharmacology. 854:354-364, 2019 Jul 05. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Shankar K; Kumar D; Gupta S; Varshney S; Rajan S; Srivastava A; Gupta A; Gupta AP; Vishwakarma AL; Gayen JR; Gaikwad AN +Authors Full Name + Shankar, Kripa; Kumar, Durgesh; Gupta, Sanchita; Varshney, Salil; Rajan, Sujith; Srivastava, Ankita; Gupta, Abhishek; Gupta, Anand Prakash; Vishwakarma, Achchhe Lal; Gayen, Jiaur R; Gaikwad, Anil Nilkanth. +Institution + Shankar, Kripa.

Aim of the study was to investigate the immunometabolic role of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in the obesity. We performed both BAT transplantation as well as extirpation experiments in the mouse model of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. We carried out immune cell profiling in the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) isolated from epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT). BAT transplantation reversed HFD-induced increase in body weight gain and insulin resistance without altering diet intake. Importantly, BAT transplantation attenuated the obesity-associated adipose tissue inflammation in terms of decreased pro-inflammatory M1-macrophages, cytotoxic CD8a T-cells and restored anti-inflammatory regulatory T-cells (Tregs) in the eWAT. BAT transplantation also improved endogenous BAT activity by elevating protein expression of browning markers (UCP-1, PRDM16 and PGC1alpha) in it. In addition, BAT transplantation promoted the eWAT expression of various genes involved in fatty acid oxidation (such as Elvol3 and Tfam,). In contrast, extirpation of the interscapular BAT exacerbated HFD-induced obesity, insulin resistance and adipose tissue inflammation (by increasing M1 macrophages, CD8a T-cell and decreasing Tregs in eWAT). Taken together, our results suggested an important role of BAT in combating obesity-associated metabolic complications. These results open a novel therapeutic option to target obesity and related metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

The impact of bariatric surgery on circulating ATX levels is unknown. We examined the short- (24 h, 5 days) and longer-term (6 and 12 months) impact of bariatric surgery; as well as the short-term effect of caloric restriction (CR) on plasma ATX levels in patients with severe obesity. We measured ATX levels in 69 men and women (mean age: 41 +/- 11 years, body mass index: 49.8 +/- 7.1 kg/m2 ), before and after biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch surgery (BPD-DS) as well as in a control group (patients with severe obesity without surgery; n = 34). We also measured ATX levels in seven patients with severe obesity and type 2 diabetes who underwent a 3-day CR protocol before their BPD-DS. At baseline, ATX levels were positively associated with body mass index, fat mass, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) as well as insulin and leptin levels and negatively with fat-free mass. ATX concentrations decreased 26.2% at 24 h after BPD-DS (342.9 +/- 152.3 pg/mL to 253.2 +/- 68.9 pg/mL, P < 0.0001) and by 16.4% at 12 months after BPD-DS (342.9 +/- 152.3 pg/mL to 286.8 +/- 182.6 pg/mL, P = 0.04). ATX concentrations were unchanged during follow-up in the control group (P = 0.4), and not influenced by short-term CR. In patients with severe obesity, bariatric surgery induced a rapid and sustained decrease in plasma ATX levels. Acute changes in ATX may not be explained by bariatric surgery-induced CR.

The degree of hepatic C3 expression was examined, using an immunohistochemical procedure. + + RESULTS: Serum C3 levels were significantly correlated with BMI, HOMA-IR value, and serum triglyceride levels in CH-C patients. Histological analysis revealed that serum C3 levels were significantly elevated in proportion to the severity of hepatic steatosis in such patients. The serum C3 level tended to increase as the severity of hepatic fibrosis progressed. However, the degree of C3 expression in hepatocytes was not associated with serum C3 level among those patients. + + CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the elevation of serum C3 levels may reflect obesity, insulin resistance, and/or hepatic steatosis in patients with CH-C, and that the increase in the synthesis of C3 may derive from the activation of cells other than hepatocytes in those patients.

Obesity and the MS are distinguished by an increase in circulating leptin concentrations, in parallel to a drop in the levels of adiponectin. Consequently, the Adpn/Lep ratio has been suggested as a maker of dysfunctional adipose tissue. We aimed to investigate in humans (n = 292) the reliability of the Adpn/Lep ratio as a biomarker of adipose tissue dysfunction. We considered that an Adpn/Lep ratio of >=1.0 can be considered normal, a ratio of >=0.5 <1.0 suggests moderate-medium increased risk, and a ratio of <0.5 indicates a severe increase in cardiometabolic risk. Using these cut-offs, 5%, 54% and 48% of the lean, normoglycemic and without-MS subjects, respectively, fall within the group with an Adpn/Lep ratio below 0.5; while 89%, 86% and 90% of the obese, with T2D and with MS patients fall within the same group (p < 0.001). A significant negative correlation (r = -0.21, p = 0.005) between the Adpn/Lep ratio and serum amyloid A (SAA) concentrations, a marker of adipose tissue dysfunction, was found. We concluded that the Adpn/Lep ratio is a good indicator of a dysfunctional adipose tissue that may be a useful estimator of obesity- and MS-associated cardiometabolic risk, allowing the identification of a higher number of subjects at risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3390%2fnu11020454 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Fruhbeck&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Adiponectin-leptin+Ratio+is+a+Functional+Biomarker+of+Adipose+Tissue+Inflammation.&volume=11&issue=2&spage=&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.3390%2Fnu11020454&pmid=30813240&sid=OVID:medline + +<1764> +Unique Identifier + 30811247 +Title + Early treatment with GLP-1 after severe trauma preserves renal function in obese Zucker rats. +Source + American Journal of Physiology - Regulatory Integrative & Comparative Physiology. 316(5):R621-R627, 2019 05 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Xiang L; Thompson MS; Clemmer JS; Mittwede PN; Khan T; Hester RL +Author NameID + Clemmer, John S; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2250-2960 +Authors Full Name + Xiang, Lusha; Thompson, Michael S; Clemmer, John S; Mittwede, Peter N; Khan, Tazim; Hester, Robert L. +Institution + Xiang, Lusha.

Controlling EPTH in the prehospital setting is difficult because of the variability in the ideal insulin dosage and the potential risk of hypoglycemia, especially in those with confounding medical comorbidities of obesity and insulin resistance. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) controls glucose levels in a glucose-dependent manner and is a current target in antidiabetic therapy. We have shown that after orthopedic trauma, obese Zucker rats exhibit EPTH and a later development of AKI (within 24 h). We hypothesized that GLP-1 treatment after trauma decreases EPTH and protects renal function in obese Zucker rats. Obese Zucker rats (~12 wk old) were fasted for 4 h before trauma. Soft tissue injury, fibula fracture, and homogenized bone component injection were then performed in both hind limbs to induce severe extremity trauma. Plasma glucose levels were measured before and 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, and 300 min after trauma. GLP-1 (3 mug.kg-1.h-1, 1.5 ml/kg total) or saline was continuously infused from 30 min to 5 h after trauma. Afterwards, rats were placed in metabolic cages overnight for urine collection. The following day, plasma interleukin (IL)-6 levels, renal blood flow (RBF), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and renal oxygen delivery (Do2) and consumption (Vo2) were measured. EPTH was evident within 15 min after trauma but was significantly ameliorated during the 5 h of GLP-1 infusion. One day after trauma, plasma IL-6 was markedly increased in the trauma group and decreased in GLP-1-treated animals. RBF, GFR, and Do2 all significantly decreased with trauma, but renal Vo2 was unchanged. GLP-1 treatment normalized RBF, GFR, and Do2 without affecting Vo2. These results suggest that GLP-1 decreases EPTH and protects against a later development of AKI. Early treatment with GLP-1 (or its analogs) to rapidly, effectively, and safely control EPTH may be beneficial in the prehospital care of obese patients after trauma. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Hypoglycemic Agents). 89750-14-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide 1). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, few studies have explored the response of key inflammatory markers to the combined settings of weight reduction in an aging population. There are also few studies that have investigated the potential impact of diet composition on inflammatory marker responses. In the MEASUR-UP trial, we evaluated changes in baseline levels of inflammatory markers with post-study levels for a traditional weight loss control group versus a group with generous, balanced protein intake. In this 6-month randomized controlled trial (RCT), older (>=60 years) adults with obesity (BMI >=30 kg/m2) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score of 4-10 were randomly assigned to either a traditional weight loss regimen, (Control, n = 14) or one with higher protein intake (>=30 g) at each meal (Protein, n = 25). All participants were prescribed a hypo-caloric diet and attended weekly support and education groups and weigh-ins. Protein participants consumed >=30 g of high-quality protein/meal, including lean and extra lean beef provided to them for two of the three meals per day. Protein intakes were 0.8 and 1.2 g/kg/day for Control and Protein, respectively. Adiponectin, leptin, C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, IL-8, serum amyloid A (SAA), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and glycated serum protein (GSP) levels were measured at 0 and 6-month time points. At the 6-month endpoint, there was significant weight loss and decrease in BMI in both the Control (-4.8 +/- 8.2 kg; -2.3 +/- 2.4 kg/m2; p = 0.05) and Protein (-8.7 +/- 7.4 kg; -2.9 +/- 2.3 kg/m2; p < 0.0001) groups. SPPB scores improved in both arms, with a superior functional response in Protein (p < 0.05). Body fat (%) at baseline was positively correlated with leptin, hs-CRP, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and GSP. Several markers of inflammation responded to the Protein group: leptin (p < 0.001), hs-CRP (p < 0.01), and ICAM-1 (p < 0.01) were decreased and adiponectin increased (p < 0.01). There were no significant changes in any inflammatory markers in the Control arm. In the between group comparison, only adiponectin trended towards a group difference (more improvement in Protein; p < 0.07). Our findings in the MEASUR-UP trial show that a weight loss diet with enhanced protein intake is comparable to an adequate protein diet in terms of weight loss success and that it can lead to improvements in inflammatory status, specifically for adiponectin, leptin, hs-CRP, and ICAM-1. These findings are important given current recommendations for higher protein intakes in older adults and justify the additional study of the inflammatory impact of an enhanced protein diet.

Weighted Cox proportional hazard regression with the robust sandwich method was used to estimate the hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusting for baseline covariates and stratified by BMI (normal, overweight/obese) given the significant interaction between biomarkers and BMI (p<0.1). + + RESULTS: During a mean follow-up of 8years, there were statistically significant associations between cancer mortality and being in the highest vs. lowest tertile of IL-6 (HR: 5.3; 95% CI: 1.6, 17.8), CRP (HR: 3.4; 95% CI: 1.0, 11.2) and resistin (HR: 3.7; 95% CI: 1.2, 11.2) among participants with normal BMI. IL-6 was also associated with a 3-fold (HR: 3.5; 95% CI: 1.5, 8.1) increased risk of cancer mortality among participants with overweight/obesity; however, neither CRP nor resistin was significantly associated with cancer mortality in this group. + + CONCLUSIONS: Higher baseline inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers were associated with significantly increased risk of cancer mortality after adjusting for baseline risk factors and the associations varied by BMI.

Recent data revealed a strong association between obesity and pulmonary hypertension. Adiponectin is a protein synthetized by the adipose tissue with pleiotropic effects on inflammation and cell proliferation, with a potential protective role on the pulmonary vasculature. Both in vivo and in vitro studies documented that adiponectin is an endogenous modulator of NO production and interferes with AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappabeta) signaling preventing endothelial dysfunction and proliferation. Furthermore, adiponectin ameliorates insulin resistance by mediating the biological effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma). Therefore, adiponectin modulation emerged as a theoretical target for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, currently under investigation. Recently, consistent data showed that hypoglycemic agents targeting PPARgamma as well as renin-angiotensin system inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor blockers may influence pulmonary hemodynamics in different models of pulmonary hypertension. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim of this study was to compare overtime trends of adiposity indices in women with and without history of GDM, using data of the long term longitudinal population-based Tehran-Lipid and Glucose-Study (TLGS). + + METHODS: A total of 3395 eligible women aged (20-50 years), including 801 women with prior history of GDM and 2594 non-GDM controls were recruited from among Tehran-Lipid and Glucose-Study participants. Generalized estimating equations were applied to assess the time trend of adiposity indices including obesity, central obesity, body mass index (BMI), lipid accumulation product index (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI) and a body shape index (ABSI) in women with prior GDM and the non-GDM groups after further adjustment for age and BMI. + + RESULTS: Median follow-up years for the GDM and non-GDM groups were 12.12 and 11.62 years, respectively. Women with GDM at initiation had worse adiposity indices than their healthy counterparts. While overall odds of obesity in women with prior GDM were significantly higher those of the non-GDM groups (OR: 1.35; 95% CI, 1.03-1.7; P = 0.03), both these groups overtime revealed a positive trend in obesity (P trend < 0.001), an incremental trend which was less pronounced in GDM women (OR: 0.87; 95% CI, 0.80, 0.95; P interaction = 0.001). Women with prior GDM had higher odds of central obesity, compared to non-GDM groups (OR: 1.44; 95% CI, 1.06-1.96; P = 0.02) and showed a significant an incremental trend overtime for both groups (P trend < 0.001 for both) without statistically significant interaction in terms of their GDM status (P interaction = 0.134). Mean VAI in women with prior GDM was significantly higher than the non-GDM group (19.7, 95%CI: 6.24, 33.15, P = 0.004), although both groups overtime experienced a negative trend (- 10.9, 95%CI: -13.1, - 2.1, P < 0.001); the GDM group showed a higher decrease in VAI (mean changes: -6.62; 95% CI, - 11,-2.1; P interaction = 0.001). However overtime there was a positive trend in LAP and ABSI among both women with and without prior-GDM, though the mean changes were less obvious in women with prior GDM. + + CONCLUSION: Women with prior GDM gained better control of their adiposity than non-GDM women. Nevertheless the increasing numbers of individuals with GDM and uncontrolled adiposity indices, require prompt attention be paid to the issue. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1186%2fs12902-019-0348-5 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Behboudi-Gandevani&issn=1472-6823&title=BMC+Endocrine+Disorders&atitle=Trend+of+various+adiposity+indices+in+women+with+and+without+history+of+gestational+diabetes%3A+a+population-based+cohort+study.&volume=19&issue=1&spage=24&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1186%2Fs12902-019-0348-5&pmid=30782162&sid=OVID:medline + +<1769> +Unique Identifier + 30770030 +Title + Insulin resistance and insulin hypersecretion in the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes: Time for a conceptual framework shift.

This is likely a consequence of the failure of clinicians and scientists to agree on a unifying mechanism to explain the metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance has most commonly been proposed for this role and is generally considered to be a root causative factor for not only metabolic syndrome but also for its associated conditions of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), obesity-related type 2 diabetes (T2D) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). An alternative view, for which evidence is mounting, is that hyper-responsiveness of islet beta-cells to a hostile environment, such as westernised lifestyle, is primary and that the resulting hyperinsulinaemia drives the other components of the metabolic syndrome. Importantly, within this new conceptual framework, insulin resistance, while always a biomarker and state of poor metabolic health, is not considered to be harmful, but a protective adaptive response of critical tissues including the myocardium against insulin-induced metabolic stress. This major shift in how metabolic syndrome can be considered puts insulin hypersecretion into position as the unifying mechanism. If shown to be correct, this new conceptual framework has major implications for the future prevention and management of the metabolic syndrome, including its associated conditions of NAFLD, PCOS, obesity-related T2D and ASCVD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

During the development of obesity and NAFLD, mitochondria adapt to the increased lipid load in hepatocytes by increasing the rate of fatty acid oxidation. In concert with this, reactive species (RS) generation is increased, damaging hepatocytes and inducing inflammation. Hepatic mitochondrial dysfunction is central to the pathogenesis of NAFLD via undefined mechanisms. There are no FDA approved treatments for NAFLD other than weight loss and management of glucose tolerance. Electrophilic nitro-oleic acid (NO2-OA) displays anti-inflammatory and antioxidant signaling actions, thus mitochondrial dysfunction, RS production and inflammatory responses to NO2-OA and the insulin sensitizer rosiglitazone were evaluated in a murine model of insulin resistance and NAFLD. Mice on HFD for 20 wk displayed increased adiposity, insulin resistance and hepatic lipid accumulation (steatosis) compared to mice on normal chow (NC). The HFD mice had mitochondrial dysfunction characterized by lower hepatic mitochondrial complex I, IV and V activity compared to mice on NC. Treatment with NO2-OA or rosiglitazone for the last 42 days (out of 20 wk) abrogated HFD-mediated decreases in hepatic mitochondrial complex I, IV and V activity. Notably, NO2-OA treatment normalized hepatic triglyceride levels and significantly reversed hepatic steatosis. Despite the improved glucose tolerance observed upon rosiglitazone treatment, liver weight and hepatic triglycerides were significantly increased over vehicle-treated HFD mice. These observations support that the pleiotropic signaling actions of electrophilic fatty acids limit the complex hepatic and systemic pathogenic responses instigated by obesity, without the adverse effects of thiazolidinedione drugs such as rosiglitazone.

Participants were provided 0 g of frozen red raspberries (Control), 125 g of frozen red raspberries (RR-125) (~1 cup), or 250 g of frozen red raspberries (RR-250) (~2 cups), with a challenge breakfast meal (high carbohydrate/moderate fat) on three separate days. Multiple blood samples were collected up to 8 hours post breakfast with a final blood sample at 24 hours. A snack was provided at 6 hours. + + RESULTS: Breakfast containing RR-125 and RR-250 significantly reduced 2-hour insulin area under the curve, and RR-250 reduced peak insulin, peak glucose, and 2-hour glucose AUC compared with Control in the PreDM-IR group (P < 0.05). Postprandial triglycerides were significantly lower after RR-125 versus RR-250 (P = 0.01) but not different from Control (P > 0.05). No significant meal-related differences were observed for oxidative stress or inflammatory biomarkers. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that red raspberries aid in postmeal glycemic control in individuals with PreDM-IR, reducing glycemic burden with less insulin, which may be related to improved tissue insulin sensitivity.

Anthropometric data, blood pressure (BP) measurements and biochemical parameters, including fasting blood glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, homeostatic model assessments of IR (HOMA-IR) and SUAC were recorded. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were performed in all patients. MetS was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation criteria. Total cholesterol/HDL-c ratio >4 and TG/HDL-c ratio >2.2 were used as the atherogenic index (AI) indicating cardiovascular risk. Urinary albumin excretion in a 24-hour and also in a first-morning urine sample were measured. Renal injury was assessed by microalbuminuria according to the National Kidney Foundation criteria. + + Results: There were 128 participants; 52 (40%) had elevated (SUA >75th percentile) and 76 had (60%) normal SUAC. The mean+/-SD age was 13.1+/-2.6 years and 87 (67.4%) were female. The mean+/-SD weight was 73+/-18.97 kg and mean+/-SD height was 155.4+/-12.11 cm. There was no statistical difference between the groups with and without hyperuricemia in terms of age, sex, puberty stage and degree of obesity. Increased SUAC were significantly associated with higher waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), fasting insulin levels and insulin at 30 and 60 minutes during OGTT, HOMA-IR, lower HDL-c and presence of hypertriglyceridemia as well as with decreased HDL-c, increased AI, presence of IR and MetS. BP and microalbuminuria were not associated with SUAC. SUAC showed significant positive correlations with waist circumference, WHR, post-challenge glucose level at 60 minutes, with fasting insulin, post-challenge insulin levels at 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes and also with HOMA-IR, total cholesterol/HDL-c ratio, TG/HDL-c ratio and a number of other criteria related to MetS. Also, an inverse correlation with HDL-c was noted. + + Conclusion: In OB/OW children frequency of MetS, IR and dislipidemia increases with increased SUAC, a finding independent of age, puberty, gender and body mass index. Patients meeting all of the MetS criteria had the highest SUAC. These results demonstrate that the association between UA and metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors can be detected early in childhood. Thus, we recommend monitoring SUAC in OB children and we believe that prevention of SUAC elevation in early life has a potential protective effect on metabolic impairment and subsequent comorbidities. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 268B43MJ25 (Uric Acid). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.4274%2fjcrpe.galenos.2018.2019.0241 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ozalp+Kizilay&issn=1308-5735&title=Journal+of+clinical+research+in+pediatric+endocrinology&atitle=Associations+Between+Serum+Uric+Acid+Concentrations+and+Cardiometabolic+Risk+and+Renal+Injury+in+Obese+and+Overweight+Children.&volume=11&issue=3&spage=262&epage=269&date=2019&doi=10.4274%2Fjcrpe.galenos.2018.2019.0241&pmid=30759960&sid=OVID:medline + +<1773> +Unique Identifier + 30758976 +Title + A free-choice high-fat, high-sucrose diet induces hyperphagia, obesity, and cardiovascular dysfunction in female cycling and pregnant rats. +Source + American Journal of Physiology - Regulatory Integrative & Comparative Physiology. 316(5):R472-R485, 2019 05 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ahmed H; Hannan JL; Apolzan JW; Osikoya O; Cushen SC; Romero SA; Goulopoulou S +Author NameID + Hannan, Johanna L; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8469-8105 + Goulopoulou, Styliani; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7636-8256 +Authors Full Name + Ahmed, Hijab; Hannan, Johanna L; Apolzan, John W; Osikoya, Oluwatobiloba; Cushen, Spencer C; Romero, Steven A; Goulopoulou, Styliani. +Institution + Ahmed, Hijab.

In the nonpregnant state, female Sprague-Dawley rats offered a 3-wk free-choice high-fat, high-sucrose diet had greater energy intake, adiposity, serum leptin, and triglyceride concentrations compared with rats fed with standard chow and developed glucose intolerance. In addition, choice-diet-fed rats had larger cardiac ventricular weights, smaller kidney and pancreas weights, and higher blood pressure than chow-fed rats, but they did not exhibit resistance artery endothelial dysfunction. When the free-choice diet continued throughout pregnancy, rats remained hyperphagic, hyperleptinemic, and obese. Choice pregnant rats exhibited uterine artery endothelial dysfunction and had smaller fetuses compared with chow pregnant rats. Pregnancy normalized mean arterial blood pressure and pancreas weights in choice rats. These studies are the first to provide a comprehensive evaluation of free-choice high-fat, high-sucrose diet on metabolic and cardiovascular functions in female rats, extending the previous studies in males to female cycling and pregnant rodents. Free-choice diet may provide a new model of preconceptual maternal obesity to study the role of increased energy intake, individual food components, and preexisting maternal obesity on maternal and offspring physiological responses during pregnancy and after birth. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Sucrose). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We calculated the cumulative average of their serum creatinine over the study period. We defined diabetes as either glycated hemoglobin levels >=6.5%, random glucose levels >=200 mg/dL, fasting glucose levels >=126 mg/dL or receiving antidiabetic treatment. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was carried out to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). + + RESULTS: With a median observation of 7.7 years, 2,509 participants developed diabetes. After adjusting for age, smoking, body mass index, hypertension and dyslipidemia, lower cumulative average serum creatinine levels were related to a greater diabetes risk: HRs were 1.56 (95% CI 1.35-1.82), 1.22 (1.09-1.35) and 1.06 (0.96-1.17) for the participants with serum creatinine <0.70, 0.70-0.79 and 0.80-0.89 mg/dL, respectively, compared with those with 0.90-1.20 mg/dL (P for trend <0.001). The serum creatinine-diabetes association was more pronounced among older adults (serum creatinine <0.70 vs 0.90-1.20 mg/dL, HR 1.66, 95% CI 1.37-2.00) than younger adults (HR 1.32, 95% CI 1.02-1.71; P for interaction by age group = 0.001). + + CONCLUSIONS: Low serum creatinine is associated with an increased risk of diabetes. Screening serum creatinine levels can be used to identify those who are at high risk of diabetes. Copyright © 2019 The Authors.

Android, gynoid, visceral, and subcutaneous abdominal fat masses (via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry ) and fasting glucose and lipid profiles were assessed at baseline and 6 months. + + RESULTS: The WL group lost more body weight (WL: -8.6% vs. WS: -1.7%, p < 0.01), resulting in a reduction in fat mass at each region only following WL (all p < 0.05). The decline in the ratio of android/gynoid fat mass also was significant only following WL, resulting in greater declines than WS (mean [95% CI]; WL: -0.026 [-0.040 to -0.011] vs. WS: 0.003 [-0.012 to 0.019] g, p < 0.01). The change in the ratio of visceral/subcutaneous abdominal fat mass was not significant in either group and did not differ between groups (WL: 0.65 [-0.38 to 1.68] vs. WS: 0.05 [-1.00 to 1.10] g, p = 0.42). In general, the improvements in glucose and lipid profiles were associated with declines in fat mass at the gynoid and android regions (r's = 0.20-0.42, all p < 0.05), particularly the visceral depot but not the ratios. + + CONCLUSION: WL achieved via a hypocaloric, nutritionally complete, higher protein meal plan is effective in reducing body fat in the android, gynoid, and visceral depots, which relate to cardiometabolic improvements.

Chronic inflammation is a key factor for atherogenic progression. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proposed as a novel biomarker for cardiovascular risks. We aimed to explore whether NLR was related to surrogate pro-atherogenic promoters driving atherogenic progression, as measured by carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). + + STUDY DESIGN: Thirty-one patients with obesity candidates for bariatric surgery were recruited from Centro Medico Nacional "20 de Noviembre", ISSSTE, Mexico City. The results are part of the "CROP" study (NCT03561987). NLR was calculated from routine complete blood count, and its relation with plasma pro-inflammatory mediators (hsCRP, TNF-alpha and IL-1beta), adipokines (adiponectin and leptin), adiposity markers (visceral adipose tissue [VAT] determined from CT scan image and VAT individual adipocyte area at histological sample) and CIMT were determined. + + RESULTS: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio correlated with hsCRP (Spearman's r = 0.70 [95% CI 0.46 to 0.85], P < 0.01), TNF-alpha (r = 0.69 [0.44 to 0.84], P < 0.0001) and adiponectin (r = -0.69 [-0.84 to -0.45], P < 0.03), as well as with VAT individual adipocyte area (r = 0.64 [0.37 to 0.81], P < 0.0001) and with VAT area (r = 0.43; [0.07 to 0.68], P < 0.01). Leptin and adiponectin showed further independent association with higher NLR (multivariate regression analysis OR 7.9 [95% CI 1.1 to 56.2] P = 0.03 and 0.1 [0.01 to 1.0] P = 0.05, respectively). Moreover, NLR distribution significantly varied between subgroups divided according to progressive CIMT (P = 0.05); whereas adiponectin and VAT adipocyte area associated with CIMT > 0.9 mm (univariate analysis OR 0.1 [0.01 to 1.0] P = 0.05 and 13.1 [1.4 to 126.3] P = 0.03, respectively). + + CONCLUSION: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was related to pro-inflammatory, adiposity biomarkers and progressive subclinical atherogenesis.

This study investigates the association between platelet number and glucose metabolism, evaluated by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, in a apparently healthy population represented by overweight and obese subjects with normal glucose and HbA1c levels. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: As many as 240 subjects, 177 women and 63 men, aged 18-70 years, were enrolled. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels, platelet count and fasting blood glucose, insulin, insulin resistance, HbA1c, uric acid, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations were evaluated. Concerning the univariate correlation analyses between platelets number and all other variables, platelet count was significantly (and positively) correlated only with HbA1c (P < 0.05) and female sex (P < 0.01). HbA1c (P < 0.05), female sex (P < 0.001), and diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.01), positively, and age (P < 0.05) and systolic blood pressure (P < 0.05), negatively, were significantly and independently associated to platelet count in a final multiple regression analysis. + + CONCLUSION: This is the first study showing a strong positive and independent relationship between HbA1c and platelet number in non-diabetic overweight and obese subjects.

Blood samples for biochemical and genetic analysis were collected. All patients were genotyped for FTO gene rs9939609 variant. Identification of SNP was conducted with the use of minisequencing method. + + RESULTS: Around 63% of patients were carriers of at least one risk allele A and 20% were AA homozygotes. The A allele was associated with increased BMI and hip and waist circumferences. The carriers of risk allele had increased PASI and CRP values and tended to have an increased insulin concentration. + + CONCLUSION: Psoriatic patients, carriers of risk allele of FTO gene rs9939609, have an increased risk for more severe psoriasis and obesity and may develop obesity-induced insulin resistance. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

In clinical studies it has been shown that SGLT2i's promote a general shift to fasting state metabolism characterized by reduced body weight and blood glucose, increase in glucagon/insulin ratio and modest increase in blood ketone levels. Therefore, we investigated the connection between metabolic changes and cardiovascular function in the ob/ob-/- mice; a rodent model of early diabetes with specific focus on coronary microvascular function. Due to leptin deficiency these mice develop metabolic syndrome/diabetes and hepatic steatosis. They also develop cardiac contractile and microvascular dysfunction and are thus a promising model for translational studies of cardiometabolic diseases. We investigated whether this mouse model responded in a human-like manner to empagliflozin treatment in terms of metabolic parameters and tested the hypothesis that it could exert direct effects on coronary microvascular function and contractile performance. + + METHODS: Lean, ob/ob-/- untreated and ob/ob-/- treated with SGLT2i were followed for 10 weeks. Coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) and fractional area change (FAC) were monitored with non-invasive Doppler ultrasound imaging. Food intake, urinary glucose excursion and glucose control via HbA1c measurements were followed throughout the study. Liver steatosis was assessed by histology and metabolic parameters determined at the end of the study. + + RESULTS: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors treatment of ob/ob-/- animals resulted in a switch to a more catabolic state as observed in clinical studies: blood cholesterol and HbA1c were decreased whereas glucagon/insulin ratio and ketone levels were increased. SGLT2i treatment reduced liver triglyceride, steatosis and alanine aminotransferase, an indicator for liver dysfunction. L-Arginine/ADMA ratio, a marker for endothelial function was increased. SGLT2i treatment improved both cardiac contractile function and coronary microvascular function as indicated by improvement of FAC and CFVR, respectively. + + CONCLUSIONS: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors treatment of ob/ob-/- mice mimics major clinical findings regarding metabolism and cardiovascular improvements and is thus a useful translational model. We demonstrate that SGLT2 inhibition improves coronary microvascular function and contractile performance, two measures with strong predictive values in humans for CV outcome, alongside with the known metabolic changes in a preclinical model for prediabetes and heart failure. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Benzhydryl Compounds). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glucosides). 0 (Slc5a2 protein, mouse). 0 (Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2). 0 (Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors).

This study sought to examine as to whether the adipo-fibrokine activin A is a link between increased EAT, the metabolic syndrome (MetS), and LVDD in severely obese subjects. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: In 236 obese subjects (o body mass index 39.8 +/- 7.9 kg/m2 ) with a variable degree of the MetS and in 60 healthy non-obese controls (o body mass index 24.8 +/- 3.4 kg/m2 ), serum activin A levels were measured and correlated with parameters of the MetS, epicardial fat thickness (EFT), and echocardiographic parameters of LVDD. Activin A levels were higher in obese than in non-obese subjects (362 +/- 124 vs. 301 +/- 94 pg/mL, P = 0.0004), increased with the number of MetS components (from 285 +/- 82 with no MetS component, 323 +/- 94 with one or two MetS components, to 403 +/- 131 pg/mL with >=3 MetS components, P < 0.0001) and correlated with EFT (r = 0.41, P < 0.001). Furthermore, activin A levels were related to several parameters of LVDD [e.g. left atrial size (382 +/- 117 vs. 352 125 pg/mL, P = 0.024), E/e' (394 +/- 108 vs. 356 +/- 127 pg/mL, P = 0.005)]. LVDD was highest in MetS obese subjects with high EFT (44.3%) compared with MetS obese subjects with low EFT (27.0%), non-MetS obese subjects with high EFT (24.2%), and non-MetS obese subjects with low EFT (10.6%, P < 0.0001). + + CONCLUSIONS: In severe obesity, activin A was significantly related to EFT, MetS, and LVDD, implicating MetS-related alterations in the secretory profile of EAT in the pathogenesis of obesity-related heart disease.

In the present study, we investigated whether Sprouty-related EVH1-domain-containing protein 2 (Spred2), a negative regulator of the Ras/Raf/ERK/MAPK pathway, plays a role in the development of high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, adipose tissue inflammation, metabolic abnormalities, and insulin resistance. Spred2 knockout (KO) mice, fed with HFD, exhibited an augmented body weight gain, which was associated with enhanced adipocyte hypertrophy in mesenteric white adipose tissue (mWAT) and deteriorated dyslipidemia, compared with wild-type (WT) controls. The number of infiltrating macrophages with a M1 phenotype, and the crown-like structures, composed of macrophages surrounding dead or dying adipocytes, were more abundant in Spred2 KO-mWAT compared to in WT-mWAT. Exacerbated adipose tissue inflammation in Spred2 KO mice led to aggravated insulin resistance and fatty liver disease. To analyze the mechanism(s) that caused adipose tissue inflammation, cytokine response in mWAT was investigated. Stromal vascular fraction that contained macrophages from Spred2 KO-mWAT showed elevated levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) compared with those from WT-mWAT. Upon stimulation with palmitate acid (PA), bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) derived from Spred2 KO mice secreted higher levels of TNFalpha and MCP-1 than those from WT mice with enhanced ERK activation. U0126, a MEK inhibitor, reduced the PA-induced cytokine response. Taken together, these results suggested that Spred2, in macrophages, negatively regulates high fat diet-induced obesity, adipose tissue inflammation, metabolic abnormalities, and insulin resistance by inhibiting the ERK/MAPK pathway. Thus, Spred2 represents a potential therapeutic tool for the prevention of insulin resistance and resultant metabolic syndrome. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Fatty Acids). 0 (Repressor Proteins). 0 (Spred2 protein, mouse). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We also assessed the ability of metabolites to discriminate between sleep duration and sleep variability categories. + + METHODS: Cross-sectional analyses were performed on baseline data from 205 participants with overweight/obesity in the "Satiety Innovation" (SATIN) study. A targeted metabolite profiling (n = 159 metabolites) approach was applied using three different platforms (nuclear magnetic resonance, liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry). Associations between circulating metabolite concentrations and accelerometer-derived sleep duration and variability in sleep duration were assessed using elastic-net regression analysis. Ten-fold cross-validation was used to estimate the discriminative accuracy of metabolites for sleep duration and sleep variability categories. + + RESULTS: A metabolite profile, including acyl-carnitines (C11:0/C5:1-DC/iso-C11:0, 2-M-C4:1/3-M-C4:1, C4:0), sphingomyelins (42:1, 33:1), glycerol, stearic acid, 2- and 3- hydroxyl-butyric acid, docosahexaenoic acid, serotonin, and phosphatidylcholine (34:2), was significantly associated with high sleep duration (4th plus 5th quintile). Ten metabolites, including acyl-carnitines (C18:1, C7:0, C6-OH), phosphatidylcholine (40:6, 37:4, 42:5), lyso-phosphatidylcholine (20:1), sucrose, glutamic acid, and triacylglycerol (52:4), were significantly associated with high sleep variability (4th plus 5th quintile). The area under the curve was 0.69 (95% CI: 0.62-0.75) and 0.63 (95% CI: 0.53-0.72) in the multimetabolite score for high sleep duration and sleep variability, respectively. The variance in sleep duration explained by metabolites was 7%. No metabolites were selected for prediction of sleep variability (continuous). + + CONCLUSIONS: A small set of metabolites within distinct biochemical pathways were associated with high sleep duration and sleep variability. These metabolites appeared to moderately discriminate sleep duration and sleep variability categories. Copyright © Sleep Research Society 2019.

Antibiotic treatments are likely to affect the gut flora and GI immune system, subsequently disturbing GI motility and body metabolism. In the present study, we investigated antibiotic-induced alterations of body metabolism and GI motility in association with the macrophage profile in the colon. Specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice (ICR; 6 weeks old; female) were orally administered vancomycin (0.2 mg/ml) in drinking water for 5 weeks, and subsequent changes in pathophysiology were observed. The expression of CD80 and CD163 was examined by immunohistochemistry and the expression of cytokines in colonic tissues was evaluated by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The gastrointestinal transit time (GITT) was measured by administration of carmine red (6% w/v) solution. In the vancomycin-treated SPF mice, significant increases in body weight, cecum weight and GITT were observed compared with the controls. The number of CD80-positive M1 macrophages and the expression of interferon-gamma and interleukin-12 were significantly increased, whereas, the numbers of CD163-positive M2 macrophages in the mucosal and muscular layers were decreased in the colon of vancomycin-treated mice. GITT was positively correlated with the number of CD80-positive M1 macrophages in the colonic mucosa; however, was negatively correlated with the number of CD163-positive M2 macrophages in the mucosal and muscular layers. Therefore, it was suggested that antibiotic treatment affects body metabolism and GI motility, accompanied by alterations in macrophage polarization and cytokine profiles in the colon. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (B7-1 Antigen). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Tetraspanin 30). 6Q205EH1VU (Vancomycin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3892%2fmmr.2019.9920 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Inoue&issn=1791-2997&title=Molecular+Medicine+Reports&atitle=Colonic+M1+macrophage+is+associated+with+the+prolongation+of+gastrointestinal+motility+and+obesity+in+mice+treated+with+vancomycin.&volume=19&issue=4&spage=2591&epage=2598&date=2019&doi=10.3892%2Fmmr.2019.9920&pmid=30720127&sid=OVID:medline + +<1784> +Unique Identifier + 30718144 +Title + GDF15 reflects beta cell function in obese patients independently of the grade of impairment of glucose metabolism. +Source + Nutrition Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases. 29(4):334-342, 2019 04. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Schernthaner-Reiter MH; Itariu BK; Krebs M; Promintzer-Schifferl M; Stulnig TM; Tura A; Anderwald CH; Clodi M; Ludvik B; Pacini G; Luger A; Vila G +Authors Full Name + Schernthaner-Reiter, M H; Itariu, B K; Krebs, M; Promintzer-Schifferl, M; Stulnig, T M; Tura, A; Anderwald, C H; Clodi, M; Ludvik, B; Pacini, G; Luger, A; Vila, G. +Institution + Schernthaner-Reiter, M H.

GDF15 increases following glucose administration and is up-regulated in obesity and diabetes. We investigate here the relationship between GDF15 and beta cell function. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: In this cross-sectional study we evaluated GDF15 concentrations in 160 obese subjects (BMI 35-63 kg/m2, age 39.4 +/- 18.6 years, m/f 38/122) who underwent a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Based on the OGTT results, the cohort was divided into two groups: 1) normal fasting glucose and normal glucose tolerance (n = 80), 2) impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes (n = 80). The relationship of GDF15 to fasting and OGTT-based dynamic insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion parameters was evaluated. GDF15 was higher in the prediabetes and diabetes groups and correlated with HbA1c, glucose, insulin as well as baseline and dynamic indices of insulin sensitivity and estimated beta cell function. Multiple regression analysis revealed that age, waist-to-height ratio, glomerular filtration rate and prehepatic beta cell function, but not the grade of impairment of glucose metabolism, were independent predictors of GDF15. Subgroup analysis showed that of all parameters of glucose metabolism only C-peptide, fasting prehepatic beta cell function and insulinogenic index remained significantly related to GDF15 in both groups. + + CONCLUSION: We conclude that in patients with severe obesity, GDF15 strongly relates to beta cell function and should be further investigated as a potential therapeutic target and biomarker guiding treatment options.

Our aim was to investigate the association between sleep characteristics and hepatic status indicators in obese people with NAFLD compared to normal weight non-NAFLD controls. Ninety-four overweight or obese patients with NAFLD and 40 non-NAFLD normal weight controls assessed by abdominal ultrasonography were enrolled. Hepatic status evaluation considered liver stiffness determined by Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse elastography (ARFI) and transaminases. Additionally, anthropometric measurements, clinical characteristics, and biochemical profiles were determined. Sleep features were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Hepatic status parameters, anthropometric measurements, and clinical and biochemical markers differed significantly in NAFLD subjects compared to controls, as well as sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance score, and sleep quality score. In the NAFLD group, a higher prevalence of short sleep duration (p = 0.005) and poor sleep quality (p = 0.041) were found. Multivariate-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for NAFLD considering sleep disturbance was 1.59 (1.11-2.28). Regression models that included either sleep disturbance or sleep quality predicted up to 20.3% and 20.4% of the variability of liver stiffness, respectively, and after adjusting for potential confounders. Current findings suggest that sleep disruption may be contributing to the pathogenesis of NAFLD as well as the alteration of the liver may be affecting sleep patterns. Consequently, sleep characteristics may be added to the list of modifiable behaviors to consider in health promotion strategies and in the prevention and management of NAFLD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Pro-inflammatory (IL-6, IL-6Ralpha, TNF-alpha, TNF-R1, TNF-R2, pentraxin 3, CRP, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, albumin) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10, TGF-beta1) molecules as well as adipose-related markers such as leptin, adiponectin, ghrelin, and resistin were measured by magnetic bead-based multiplex-specific immunoassays and biochemical assays. + + RESULTS: BC characteristics were different in elderly women and men, and more favorable BC markers were associated with a better adipose-related inflammatory profile, with the exception of skeletal muscle mass index. No correlation was found with the body composition markers and circulating levels of some standard pro- and anti-inflammatory markers like IL-6, pentraxin 3, IL-10, TGF-beta1, TNF-alpha, IL-6Ralpha, glycoprotein 130, TNF-alpha-R1, and TNF-alpha-R2. + + CONCLUSIONS: The association between BC and inflammatory and adipose-related biomarkers is crucial in decoding aging and pathophysiological processes, such as sarcopenia. DXA can help in understanding how the measurement of fat and muscle is important, making the way from research to clinical practice. + + KEY POINTS: * Body composition markers concordantly associated positively or negatively with adipose-related and inflammatory markers, with the exception of skeletal muscle mass index. * No correlation was found with the body composition markers and circulating levels of some standard pro- and anti-inflammatory markers like IL-6, pentraxin 3, IL-10, TGF-beta1, TNF-alpha, IL-6Ralpha, gp130, TNF-alpha-R1, and TNF-alpha-R2. * Skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) shows a good correlation with inflammatory profile in age-related sarcopenia. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs00330-018-5973-2 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Santoro&issn=0938-7994&title=European+Radiology&atitle=Gender-specific+association+of+body+composition+with+inflammatory+and+adipose-related+markers+in+healthy+elderly+Europeans+from+the+NU-AGE+study.&volume=29&issue=9&spage=4968&epage=4979&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs00330-018-5973-2&pmid=30715588&sid=OVID:medline + +<1787> +Unique Identifier + 30712418 +Title + Obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: new treatment strategies.

Also, the prevalence of HF is quite high in the US accounting for 6.6 million adults at present and is projected to reach 8.5 million by the year 2030 and is equally divided between HFpEF and heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Patients with HFpEF are resistant to treatment with drugs usually used for the treatment of HFrEF, but the reasons for this resistance are not clearly known. + + METHODS: In order to get a better perspective on the current status of the underlying pathophysiology and treatment of patients with HFpEF, a Medline search of the English language literature was conducted between 2015 and 2018 using the terms obesity, HFpEF, diabetes, treatment, SGLT2 inhibitors, and neprilysin inhibitors and 24 pertinent papers were selected. + + RESULTS: The review of these papers revealed that patients with HFpEF have expanded plasma volume, restricted left ventricular distension with increased end-diastolic volume and depressed natriuretic peptide levels. In this respect, drugs that cause increased diuresis and natriuresis should a reasonable choice to treat these patients. The recently FDA approved sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors for the treatment of T2DM, are a good choice, for the treatment of HFpEF, since they cause osmotic diuresis from glucose excretion and increase salt and water excretion and decrease plasma volume. In addition, they produce loss of calories leading to weight and blood pressure reduction and have shown to prevent the new onset HFpEF and decrease hospitalizations and death from this disease. + + CONCLUSION: The results of this analysis has shown that HFpEF has different pathophysiology from HFrEF and is difficult to treat. Drugs that block renal tubular glucose reabsorption and cause osmotic diuresis and natriuresis could be a good choice to treat patients with HFpEF alone or in combination with diuretics and other drugs. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of age and sex on insulin action and body composition in C57BL/6J mice. Aged (AG, 18 months old) male C57BL/6J mice, glucose tolerance was diminished compared to young (YG, 6 months old) male mice (Area Under Curve: 95,103 +/- 6818 vs. 64,005 +/- 2031, P = 0.002). However, there was no age-related decline in glucose or insulin tolerance in females. Body composition analysis revealed that AG males had significantly greater body mass (42.2 +/- 1.9 vs. 30.0 +/- 0.4 g, P < 0.0001), fat mass (18.7 +/- 2.0 vs. 3.3 +/- 0.4 g, P < 0.0001), body fat (43.0 +/- 3.0 vs. 11.0 +/- 1.5%, P < 0.0001) than YG males. In AG females, body mass (32.8 +/- 1.6 vs. 26.3 +/- 0.9 g, P = 0.02) was higher, but fat mass (13.3 +/- 2.0 vs. 9.5 +/- 1.3 g, P = 0.24) and body fat (37.8 +/- 4.8 vs. 35.5 +/- 3.8%, P = 0.67) were similar when compared to YG females. AG males had significantly higher body mass (42.2 +/- 1.9 vs. 32.8 +/- 1.6 g, P = 0.001) and fat mass (18.7 +/- 2.0 vs. 13.3 +/- 2.0 g, P = 0.04) compared to AG females; however, body fat (43.0 +/- 3.0 vs. 37.8 +/- 4.8%, P = 0.28) was similar. Six weeks of treatment with MitoQ, a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant, did not reverse age-related obesity in male mice. Surprisingly, obesity and insulin resistance appear to be reversed in the oldest of the old male mice (28 vs. 20 months). Our findings indicate that female mice, unlike males, are protected from age-related obesity and insulin resistance. Copyright © 2019 The Authors.

However, in an ex vivo system of human blood cells, the efficacy of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) modulating lipid metabolism and cytokine response is attenuated in overweight subjects and shows high inter-individual variability. This suggests that obesity may be exerting a synergistic effect with genetic background disturbing the anti-inflammatory potential of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). In the present work, a genetic score aiming to explore the risk associated to low grade inflammation and obesity (LGI-Ob) has been elaborated and assessed as a tool to contribute to discern population at risk for metabolic syndrome. Pro-inflammatory gene expression and cytokine production as a response to omega-3 were associated with LGI-Ob score; and lower anti-inflammatory effect of PUFA was observed in subjects with a high genetic score. Furthermore, overweight/obese individuals showed positive correlation of both plasma C-Reactive Protein and triglyceride/HDLc-index with LGI-Ob; and high LGI-Ob score was associated with greater hypertension (p = 0.047), Type 2 diabetes (p = 0.026), and metabolic risk (p = 0.021). The study shows that genetic variation can influence inflammation and omega-3 response, and that the LGI-Ob score could be a useful tool to classify subjects at inflammatory risk and more prone to suffer metabolic syndrome and associated metabolic disturbances. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Inflammatory Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 25167-62-8 (Docosahexaenoic Acids).

The obese patients were divided into metabolic syndrome group and non-metabolic syndrome group. All subjects underwent laboratory blood tests, including asymmetric dimethyl arginine, complete two-dimensional, pulsed, and tissue Doppler echocardiography, and measurement of the carotid intima-media thickness. + + RESULTS: Obese adolescents were characterised by enlarged left end-diastolic, end-systolic and left atrial diameters, thicker left and right ventricular walls compared with non-obese adolescents. The metabolic syndrome group had normal left ventricle systolic function, impaired diastolic function, and altered global systolic and diastolic myocardial performance. In the metabolic syndrome obese group patients, left ventricle mass was found positively correlated with body mass index, waist and hip circumferences, diastolic blood pressure, age, and waist-to-hip circumference ratio. The carotid intima-media thickness was found positively correlated with waist and hip circumferences and total cholesterol levels. Asymmetric dimethyl arginine levels were found positively correlated with systolic blood pressure, waist-to-hip circumference ratio, and diastolic blood pressure. + + CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study demonstrate that metabolic syndrome in adolescence is associated with significant changes in myocardial geometry and function. In addition, it has been associated with a high level of asymmetric dimethyl arginine concentration and thicker carotid intima-media thickness reflecting endothelial dysfunction. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (dimethylarginine). 94ZLA3W45F (Arginine). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1017%2fS1047951118002329 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Aslan&issn=1047-9511&title=Cardiology+in+the+Young&atitle=Left+and+right+ventricular+function+by+echocardiography%2C+tissue+Doppler+imaging%2C+carotid+intima-media+thickness%2C+and+asymmetric+dimethyl+arginine+levels+in+obese+adolescents+with+metabolic+syndrome.&volume=29&issue=3&spage=310&epage=318&date=2019&doi=10.1017%2FS1047951118002329&pmid=30688191&sid=OVID:medline + +<1792> +Unique Identifier + 30678666 +Title + 11beta Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase - 1 activity in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a comparative study. +Source + BMC Endocrine Disorders. 19(1):15, 2019 Jan 24. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Shukla R; Basu AK; Mandal B; Mukhopadhyay P; Maity A; Chakraborty S; Devrabhai PK +Author NameID + Shukla, Ravindra; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5742-4096 +Authors Full Name + Shukla, Ravindra; Basu, Asish Kumar; Mandal, Biplab; Mukhopadhyay, Pradip; Maity, Animesh; Chakraborty, Satyam; Devrabhai, Praveen Kumar. +Institution + Shukla, Ravindra.

However, little is known about the association of the body composition with the secreted protein form of the alpha-Klotho gene (S-Klotho). Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the association of body composition, including lean and fat mass as well as bone mineral density (BMD), with S-Klotho plasma levels in middle-aged sedentary adults. A total of 74 (39 women) middle-aged sedentary adults (53.7 +/- 5.1 years old; 75.7 +/- 14.0 kg; 167.8 +/- 9.8 cm) participated in the study. We measured weight and height, and we used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to measure fat mass and lean mass. We calculated the body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI), and lean mass index (LMI). The S-Klotho plasma levels were measured in the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid plasma using a solid-phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. There was a strong positive association between LMI and S-Klotho plasma levels (beta = 74.794, R2 = 0.346, p < 0.001), which persisted after controlling for age and gender as well as after additionally controlling for FMI. Significantly positive associations of BMI and BMD were also found with S-Klotho plasma levels (beta = 33.981, R2 = 0.125, p = 0.002 and beta = 858.194, R2 = 0.058, p = 0.041, respectively), which disappeared after controlling for LMI (beta = 0.183, R2 = 0.611, p = 0.984 and beta = -379.426, R2 = 0.617, p = 0.290, respectively). FMI was not significantly associated with S-Klotho plasma levels. Our study shows that LMI is strongly associated with S-Klotho plasma levels and explains the associations of BMI and BMD with S-Klotho plasma levels in middle-aged sedentary adults. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Body composition (DXA), hepatic related biochemical measurements as well as the Fatty Liver Index (FLI) were evaluated. This study was registered as FLiO: Fatty Liver in Obesity study; NCT03183193. + + RESULTS: The subjects with more severe liver disease were found to have worse metabolic parameters. Positive associations between MRI with inflammatory and insulin biomarkers were found. A linear regression model including ALT, RBP4 and HOMA-IR was able to explain 40.9% of the variability in fat content by MRI. In ROC analyses a combination panel formed of ALT, HOMA-IR and RBP4 followed by ultrasonography, ALT and metabolomic test showed the major predictive ability (77.3%, 74.6%, 74.3% and 71.1%, respectively) for liver fat content. + + CONCLUSIONS: A panel combination including routine blood markers linked to insulin resistance showed highest associations with MRI considered as a gold standard for determining liver fat content. This combination of tests can facilitate the diagnosis of early stages of non-alcoholic liver disease thereby avoiding other invasive and expensive methods. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We investigated the metabolic phenotypes, nutrient-sensing signal and circadian-clock genes in adipose tissue that are programmed by prenatal dexamethasone exposure and postnatal HF diet. + + METHODS: Male offspring of Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four experimental groups: normal diet, prenatal dexamethasone exposure, postnatal HF diet, and prenatal dexamethasone plus postnatal HF diet. Postnatal HF diet was prescribed from weaning to 6 months of age. + + RESULTS: Prenatal dexamethasone and postnatal HF diet exerted synergistic effects on body weight and visceral adiposity, whereas prenatal dexamethasone and postnatal HF diet altered the metabolic profile and caused leptin dysregulation. Prenatal dexamethasone and postnatal HF diet distinctly influenced nutrient-sensing molecules and circadian-clock genes in adipose tissue. The mRNA expression of mTOR, AMPK-alpha2, PPAR-alpha, and PPAR-gamma was suppressed by prenatal dexamethasone but enhanced by postnatal HF diet. + + CONCLUSION: Prenatal dexamethasone and postnatal HF treatment cause dysregulation of nutrient-sensing molecules and circadian-clock genes in visceral adipose tissue. Characterizing altered nutrient-sensing molecules and circadian-clock genes has potential therapeutic relevance with respect to the pathogenesis and treatment of prenatal stress and postnatal HF diet-related metabolic disorders. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Leptin). 7S5I7G3JQL (Dexamethasone).

In total, 9675 subjects were included, and 7666 of these subjects were used for replication. A GRS was constructed using the SNP loci that overlapped in both cohort sets. The subjects showed a trend toward an increase in body mass index, waist circumference, systolic/diastolic blood pressure, homeostatic model assessment (HOMA)-IR, HOMA-B, and levels of insulin, triglyceride, and alanine aminotransferase across the tertiles of obesity GRS, while the adiponectin level showed a trend toward a decrease with increasing GRS. The associations between the obesity GRS and the measures of fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and adiponectin were significant after adjusting for confounding factors. Moreover, a significant association between obesity GRS and HOMA-IR was observed in subjects with abdominal obesity. The present results indicate that a predisposition to obesity may affect IR in the Korean population and that abdominal fat may alter or modify the genetic effects. Furthermore, the set of obesity-related genotypes and abdominal fat may play interactive roles in determining the risk of IR. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

Meal replacements (MRs) are portion- and calorie-controlled meals, which make the food environment part of an individual's weight loss regimen. White sweet potato (WSP; Ipomoea batatas L.), used in traditional medicine in Brazil, Japan, and Taiwan, is a healthy carbohydrate source. In this randomized controlled trial, we assessed the effects of a WSP formula on body weight management in 58 white-collar workers through MR to elucidate the effects of this WSP-MR on factors leading to overweight. The participants consumed either two packs a day for a total of 132 g of WSP (WSP-MR group) or a normal diet daily (non-WSP group) for eight weeks. After eight weeks, body weight, body fat, body mass index, wrist circumference, thigh circumference, calf circumference, mid-arm circumference, and triceps skinfolds decreased significantly in both the groups. Moreover, the WSP-MR group demonstrated a 5% decrease in body weight, body fat, body mass index, and mid-arm circumference and a 3.5% decrease in glycated hemoglobin levels (p < 0.05). The treatment was well tolerated, without side effects or adverse events. Thus, our WSP formula as an MR can facilitate individual weight loss and thus has commercial application in the food industry. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Triglycerides). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol).

The weighted gene co-expression network (WGCNA) analysis was performed using WGCNA package and grey60 module was considered as the highest correlation. Gene Ontology annotation and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses for this module were performed by clusterProfiler and DOSE package. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was established using Cytoscape software, and significant modules were analyzed using molecular complex detection. + + RESULTS: Collagen type I alpha 1 chain gene (COL1A1) had the best significant meaning. After bioinformatic analysis, we identified four miRNAs (hsa-miR-3659, hsa-miR-4658, hsa-miR151a-5p and hsa-miR-151b) which can bind SNPs in 3'UTR in COL1A1. After validation with RT-qPCR, only two miRNAs (hsa-miR-3659 and hsa-miR151a-5p) had statistical significance. + + CONCLUSIONS: The area of 0.806 for miR-3659 and 0.769 for miR-151a-5p under the ROC curve (AUC) may have good diagnostic value for dyslipidemia.

Our previous studies have demonstrated that Sirtuin (SIRT)1, an essential regulator of metabolic stress responses, is suppressed in the offspring as the result of maternal high-fat diet (HFD) consumption, which is likely to underpin the adverse metabolic and renal outcomes. To examine if SIRT1 overexpression or activation early in life can protect the offspring kidney, wild-type (WT) and transgenic (Tg) offspring were born to the same diet-induced obese female C57BL/6 mice through breeding with hemizygous SIRT1-transgenic (Tg) male mice and examined for renal pathological changes. In separate experiments, SIRT1 activator SRT1720 (25 mg/kg/2 days i.p) was administrated in WT offspring over 6 weeks of postnatal high-fat diet exposure. The results show that offspring born to obese dams have increased kidney weight, higher levels of renal triglycerides, and increased expression of oxidative stress, inflammatory, and fibrotic markers, as well as increased albuminuria compared to offspring of control dams. Both SIRT1 overexpression and SRT1720 treatment attenuated renal lipid contents and expression of lipogenesis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers; however, fibrosis was modestly reduced and albuminuria was not affected. The findings suggest that SIRT1 therapy can ameliorate some pathological mechanisms of kidney programming due to maternal obesity but may not be sufficient to prevent the resulting chronic kidney injury. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Reactive Nitrogen Species). 0 (Reactive Oxygen Species).

This cross-sectional analytical study was aimed to find out the frequency of IR in non-diabetic adult individuals of different obesity phenotypes that would help to implement preventive measures to avoid the cardiometabolic catastrophes. + + METHODS: Total 955 nondiabetic adult individuals were selected and categorized into six metabolic phenotypes by metabolic syndrome criteria in each BMI group (18.5-24.9-normal weight, 25-29.9-overweight, >=30-obese). From them, metabolically obese normal weight, metabolically obese overweight, metabolically healthy obese and metabolically unhealthy obese were selected as Obesity phenotypes (N=616). + + RESULTS: The frequency of IR was found to be very high (60.2%) in total nondiabetic adult obese individuals (N=616). Highest frequency of IR was found in MUO phenotype (76.3%), lowest frequency of IR was found in MONW phenotype (37.1%) and frequency of IR in MOOW and MHO phenotypes found to be identical but significantly (p<0.0001) less than MUO and significantly (p<0.0001) more than MONW phenotype. Among the obesity phenotypes, females were more insulin resistant than males (67.5% vs 48.1% respectively, p<0.05). Frequency of IR found significantly (p<0.05) more in female than male in all obesity phenotypes except in MUO phenotype where males found to show significantly (p<0.05) higher frequency than females. Frequency of IR was significantly higher in younger (20-39yrs) age group than 40-60yrs age group (63.2% vs 53.5% respectively, p<0.05). + + CONCLUSION: IR is alarmingly high (60.2%) in nondiabetic adult obese individuals.

However, due to health system resource constraints, surveillance capacity for the identification of high-risk populations for non-communicable diseases, including CVD have been inadequate. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of CVD clinical risk factors among healthy adults residing in the Cape Coast metropolis of Ghana. The clinical risk factors assessed included glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, lipid control and blood pressure. + + METHODS: The study participants included 70 healthy adults without a previous diagnosis of CVD from Cape Coast metropolis. Blood samples, blood pressure and anthropometric measurement were obtained for each participant. Serum glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin, glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels were measured. + + RESULTS: Approximately four out of ten participants were either overweight or obese. Almost three-quarters of the sample were considered prehypertensive or hypertensive. About three in ten were clinically prediabetic. About a third of the participants had high non-HDL cholesterol levels. Triglyceride concentration levels were found to be high in almost 10 percent of the study sample. Approximately six percent were identified as having metabolic syndrome. + + CONCLUSION: A significant proportion of the study participants were identified to be at risk for CVD. There is the need for adaptive and less resource-intensive CVD risk-factor screening interventions to allow for the timely detection and management of CVD risk factors in low-resource settings.

The present study aimed to investigate the mediatory effect of adipokines on the RMR-MetS relationship. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 263 obese and overweight women, mean BMI 33.28 (4.93) kg/m, and mean age 39.02 (11.60) who were assessed for RMR using indirect calorimetry. Moreover, using the body composition analyzer the Body composition was measured. Also, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test provided a quantitative measurement of biochemical parameters. + + RESULTS: The results indicated that women in low RMR group had higher fat mass (P<0.0001), FFM (P=0.002), weight (P=0.006), BMI (P<0.0001), age (P=0.01), and hs-CRP (P=0.001). The results did not confirm any significant mediating roles for RBP4 (P=0.051, beta=-0.28) and Vaspin (P=0.06, beta=0.32) in the RMR-MetS relationship. Additionally, after a binary regression test, Omentin-1 showed a significant mediating role (P=0.25, beta=0.04) as an interrelated agent to RMR and MetS. + + CONCLUSION: As this study shows, Omentin-1 was found to play a significant mediating role as a mediatory agent in relationship between RMR and MetS.

A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to assess their ability to predict MetS. + + RESULTS: Of the 535 subjects recruited 23% had MetS. WC had the largest area under the curve (AUC) in both men (0.814 95% CI 0.721-0.907) and women (0.819 95%CI 0.771-0.867). This did not differ from the AUC of BMI, WHtR, BRI, CI, BAI, LAP in men and BMI, WHtR, BAI, LAP, VAI and WTI in women (P>0.05). The cutoff point for WC was 89.5cm and 91.8cm in men and women respectively. The AUC of WC was the largest in the 40-49 and 60 years and above age groups while the AUC of LAP was the largest for age groups 30-39 and 50-59 years. + + CONCLUSION: Of the 11 anthropometric parameters assessed, the WC was the best at predicting MetS in both men and women. There is need to ascertain the cutoff point and establish landmark for measuring WC especially for the sub Saharan region. Copyright © 2018 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

To clarify the relationship of the changes in insulin resistance, body weight and lipid profile, the present study was performed on Bangladeshi adults, total of 1500 individuals at the time of their general health examination in the hospital. + + METHODS: After exclusion of other endocrine diseases, the remaining 772 patients were classified as IR>=2 and IR<2 based on the homeostatic model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index. The endocrine disease free subjects were further clustered based on age, gender and obesity. The anthropometric and biochemical profiles were statistically analyzed and correlated with IR>=2 and IR<2 groups as well as other clusters of the subjects. Apart from some disparities, notable differences were observed in all anthropometric data. + + RESULTS: Total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and serum insulin levels were significantly higher in IR>=2 group in comparison with IR<2 group. Obesity and dyslipidemia were associated as prevalent components of IR. Generalized linear model revealed that TC: LDL and TG: HDL had significant effect on IR. Age group II (41-60 years old) subjects had significantly higher lipid profile compared to age group I (20-40 years old) and age group III (61-80 years old). + + CONCLUSIONS: Results reported herein support the notion that lipoprotein ratios might be the reliable biomarkers to evaluate IR.

This study investigated the effects of CTRP3 levels in obese and normal body weight young adults on insulin resistance and occurrence of diabetes mellitus. + + SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In this case control study, Serum levels of CTRP3, HbA1c, Lipid profile, glucose and insulin levels were determined in 75 obese and 68 normal body weight individuals. + + RESULTS: In obese young adults CTRP3 concentrations were decreased compared to normal body weight young adults (NBW). The association between reduction of CTRP3 concentrations and the presence of diabetes is statistically significant. CTRP3 showed significant negative correlation with BMI, HOMA-IR and triglycerides as well as positive correlations with HDL - cholesterol while there is no association between CTRP3 and BMI within the NBW group. Higher HbA1C, HOMA-IR, and risk of diabetes development within obese subjects were related to lower CTRP3 concentration. + + CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that reduction of CTRP3 concentrations is likely to bring a concomitant increase in risk of diabetes in obese and normal body weight young adults. Decrease in CTRP3 concentration may have an essential role in the pathophysiology of metabolic disorders concomitant to obesity. Copyright © 2018 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Some adipocytokines play important roles in diabetic complications. Lipid transport is an important aspect of lipid metabolism in cancer. Present study aimed to evaluate the effect of some adipocytokines, inflammatory, epigenetic instability & angiogenesis biomarkers in type 2 diabetic Egyptian women with breast cancer. Study Design was performed on eighty females divided into 20 healthy subjects (Group I), 20 patients with type 2 diabetes (Group II), 20 patients with breast cancer (Group III) & 20 patients with diabetes and breast cancer (Group IV). Demographic data & body mass index have been collected. Biochemical analysis included fasting & postprandial blood glucose, lipid profile, fatty acid-binding proteins-4 (FABP-4), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) & thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) activity. Results revealed significant increase in FABP-4, TNF-alpha, VEGF, 8-OHdG and significant decreased TrxR activity in diabetic patients with breast cancer in comparison with other groups. These changes were evident in breast cancer subjects than diabetic and healthy cases and in diabetic than healthy cases. Conclusion : This study confirmed the role of FABP-4 in pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes & breast cancer via enhancing angiogenesis, inflammatory and epigenetic instability biomarkers.

The aim of this study was to determine the attribution of WC to increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and circulating levels of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in schoolchildren. + + METHODS: A total of 122 children (61 boys and 61 girls) aged 10-15 years were distributed into three groups: (i) the lower smoothed sex- and age-specific WC (LWC) group (ii) the middle smoothed sex- and age-specific WC (MWC) group, and (iii) the higher smoothed sex- and age-specific WC (HWC) group. Measurements of cIMT using high-resolution B-mode ultrasound, lipemic profile, blood pressure, serum proinflammatory cytokines and soluble adhesion molecules were performed. + + RESULTS: Mean measured values in the HWC and/or MWC groups showed significantly higher values (p<=0.05) of cIMT (mm), total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), blood pressure, interlukien-6 (IL-6), and interlukien-1 beta (IL-1beta), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) and E-selectin, and significantly lower values of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) as compared to the LWC group. Using multiple linear regression analysis of WC-SDS adjusted for BMI-SDS with the studied subclinical atherosclerosis risk, WC-SDS was significantly (p<=0.05) associated with the variation in HDL (R2=-0.12), LDL (R2=0.36), IL-6 (R2=0.26), and VCAM-1 (R2=0.26). + + CONCLUSIONS: Higher WC is positively associated with atherosclerosis risk factors including increased cIMT, a state of dyslipidemia, higher blood pressure and circulating levels of inflammation and adhesion molecules among schoolchildren. Waist circumference seems to be useful for the prediction of subclinical atherosclerosis in schoolchildren. Copyright © 2018 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

A medical questionnaire was used to assess several subject characteristics. The levels of exhaled fraction of nitric oxide (FeNO) were measured by Medisoft HypAir FeNO method. Spirometry function test was done after the FeNO measurement. The following parameters were measured: forced vital capacity (FVC, L); 1st second forced expiratory volume (FEV1, L); FEV1/FVC ratio (absolute value); maximal mid expiratory flow (MMEF, L/s); Mid expiratory flow from 25 to 75% (MEF25%, MEF50%, and MEF75%). Statistical analyses were carried out using Statistica software with a significance set at the 0.05 level. + + RESULTS: A significant increase in FeNO is noted between groups with respective age ranges of (5, 17) and (17, 25) years with a breakpoint at 1,397,034 years. A significant decrease of FeNO is noted between groups with respective age ranges of (45, 55) and (55, 65) years with a breakpoint at 6,366,052 years. No statistical significant difference was found between females' and males' means FeNO data. Finally, SEL, obesity status, and hypertension contribute significantly in the variations of FeNO values. + + CONCLUSION: The development and aging of the lung touched non-respiratory functions and so modified FeNO values in healthy North African subjects. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 31C4KY9ESH (Nitric Oxide). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Guideline-directed medications for secondary prevention and risk factor control are recommended for patients with all forms of CVD. The association of body mass index (BMI) with use of medications for secondary prevention and risk factor control in patients with CVD are poorly understood. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: We identified 1 122 567 patients with CVD receiving care in 130 Veterans Affairs facilities from October 1, 2013, to September 30, 2014. Five groups were stratified by BMI-underweight (BMI, <18.5 kg/m2), normal (BMI, 18.5-24.9 kg/m2), overweight (BMI, 25-29.9 kg/m2), obese (BMI, 30-39.9 kg/m2), and extremely obese (BMI, >=40 kg/m2). A composite of 4 measures-blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg, hemoglobin A1c <=9% in diabetic patients, statin use, and antiplatelet use-termed optimal medial therapy (OMT) was compared among groups. Multivariable logistic regression was performed with normal BMI as the referent category. Underweight patients comprised 12 623 (1.1%), normal BMI 230 471 (20.5%), overweight 413 590 (36.8%), obese 404 105 (36%), and extremely obese 61 778 (5.5%) of the cohort. Only 43.7% of the entire cohort received OMT, and this was the highest in the overweight group. Adjusted odds ratios for receiving OMT were 0.81 (95% CI, 0.77-0.85), 1.11 (95% CI, 1.10-1.13), 1.08 (95% CI, 1.06-1.09), and 0.87 (95% CI, 0.85-0.89), for patients who were underweight, overweight, obese, and extremely obese, respectively, compared with normal BMI. + + CONCLUSIONS: OMT was low in the entire cohort. There is an inverse U-shaped relationship between OMT and BMI with patients who are underweight and extremely obese less likely to receive OMT compared with patients with normal BMI. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA Reductase Inhibitors). 0 (Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

We measured plasma insulin during OGTT to obtain a homeostasis model of assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). We defined the condition in which infants were fed by breastfeeding alone or greater than or equal to 80% of the volume as HIB, and other statuses, including partial and nonbreastfeeding, as non-HIB. We investigated the association between post-partum HOMA-IR and the breastfeeding status after adjusting for confounders including PWC. + + RESULTS: Among 222 women with GDM who underwent the OGTT at 7.9 +/- 2.3 weeks post-partum with a PWC of -7.8 +/- 3.4 kg, although the rate of abnormal glucose tolerance (prediabetes and diabetes) did not differ between the groups (33% vs 32%), the HOMA-IR in the HIB women (n = 166) was significantly lower than that in the non-HIB women (n = 56) (1.12 +/- 0.85 vs 1.72 +/- 1.43, P = 0.0002). The effect of the HIB was independently associated with lower HOMA-IR after adjusting for confounders including PMC. However, the subgroup analysis according to their pre-pregnancy obesity states showed that the effect was seen only in the obese subjects (BMI >= 25). + + CONCLUSIONS: In obese Japanese women with GDM, HIB has a significant effect in reducing insulin resistance during early post-partum, independent of the post-partum weight loss.

Male Swiss mice were divided into two study groups: control group and obese group. The animals in the control group were fed a diet with adequate amounts of macronutrients (normal-lipid diet), whereas the animals in the obese group were fed a high-fat diet to induce obesity. Obesity induction lasted 10 weeks, at the end of this period the disease model was validated in animals. The animals in the obese group had higher calorie consumption, higher body weight and higher weight of mesenteric fat compared to control group. Obesity showed an increase in levels of interleukin 1beta and decreased levels of interleukin 10 in the hypothalamus. Furthermore, increased lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation, and decreased level of glutathione in the hypothalamus of obese animals. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the activity of antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase and catalase. The obese group had lower activity of complex I, II and IV of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, as well as lower activity of creatine kinase in the hypothalamus as compared to the control group. Thus, the results from this study showed changes in inflammatory markers, and dysregulation of metabolic enzymes in the pathophysiology of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, their use in metabolic disturbances has not been systematically explored. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to provide an overview of non-cholesterol sterols as markers for cholesterol metabolism in different metabolic disorders. Potentially relevant studies were retrieved by a systematic search of three databases in July 2018 and ninety-four human studies were included. Cholesterol-standardized levels of campesterol, sitosterol and cholestanol were collected to reflect cholesterol absorption and those of lathosterol and desmosterol to reflect cholesterol synthesis. Their use as biomarkers was examined in the following metabolic disorders: overweight/obesity (n = 16), diabetes mellitus (n = 15), metabolic syndrome (n = 5), hyperlipidemia (n = 11), cardiovascular disease (n = 17), and diseases related to intestine (n = 16), liver (n = 22) or kidney (n = 2). In general, markers for cholesterol absorption and synthesis displayed reciprocal patterns, showing that cholesterol metabolism is tightly regulated by the interplay of intestinal absorption and endogenous synthesis. Distinctive patterns for cholesterol absorption or cholesterol synthesis could be identified, suggesting that metabolic disorders can be classified as 'cholesterol absorbers or cholesterol synthesizers'. Future studies should be performed to confirm or refute these findings and to examine whether this information can be used for targeted (dietary) interventions. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Phytosterols). 0 (Sitosterols). 0 (Sterols). 313-04-2 (Desmosterol). 5L5O665639 (campesterol). 5LI01C78DD (gamma-sitosterol). 80-99-9 (lathosterol). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

In recent years a few blood-based inflammatory markers - neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) - have been identified. They have been proven to correlate well with established inflammatory markers such as hsCRP and have a prognostic value among others in patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure, and malignancies. The aim of the study was to find markers associated with obesity in young heathy adults. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study group included 321 young healthy adults aged 18-35 years (210 males and 111 females). Partial least squares regression analysis was used to find variables associated with body mass index (BMI), except MHR. Analysed variables included complete blood count, lipid profile, sex hormone levels, acute-phase protein levels, and blood-based inflammatory markers. + + RESULTS: Variables with the strongest association with BMI in the group of men were HDL% and apolipoprotein B, and in the group of women, HDL, HDL%, triglycerides, and MHR. Novel inflammatory markers were not associated with BMI. We found significant (p < 0.001) correlations between novel biomarkers (NLR, dNLR) and hsCRP and fibrinogen levels in the group of subjects with obesity. + + CONCLUSIONS: Blood-based inflammatory markers significantly correlate with hsCRP and fibrinogen in young healthy adults with obesity, which may reflect the subclinical inflammation in this group of individuals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.5603%2fEP.a2019.0002 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Osadnik&issn=0423-104X&title=Endokrynologia+Polska&atitle=Novel+inflammatory+biomarkers+may+reflect+subclinical+inflammation+in+young+healthy+adults+with+obesity.&volume=70&issue=2&spage=135&epage=142&date=2019&doi=10.5603%2FEP.a2019.0002&pmid=30633318&sid=OVID:medline + +<1815> +Unique Identifier + 30625218 +Title + Dyslipidemia, subclinical inflammation, hepatic cholestasis and endothelial dysfunction in schoolchildren with excess fat: A study from the United Arab Emirates. +Source + PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 14(1):e0210316, 2019. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Aburawi EH; Al Hamad S; Yasin J; Almekhaini LA; Souid AK +Author NameID + Aburawi, Elhadi H; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5200-9048 +Authors Full Name + Aburawi, Elhadi H; Al Hamad, Sania; Yasin, Javed; Almekhaini, Lolowa A; Souid, Abdul-Kader. +Institution + Aburawi, Elhadi H.

This study measured biomarkers for glycemic control, lipid metabolism, systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and hepatic cholestasis in schoolchildren. Its main purpose was to determine whether metabolic derangements could be detected in young children with excess fat. + + METHOD: This cross-sectional study involved 967 children in the second, sixth, and tenth grades (median age, 7.3, 11.3, and 15.4 years, respectively). Using the International Obesity Task Force interpretation (IOTF) of body-mass-index (BMI), children were stratified as thin (<5th centiles), normal (5th to <85th centiles), overweight (85th to <95th centiles), obese (95th to <98th centiles), or extremely-obese (>=98th centiles). Waist circumference was also measured. Several metabolic determinations were then used as surrogate biomarkers for cardiovascular risks. + + RESULTS: Prevalence of BMI>=85th centile among the second graders was 13.1%, sixth graders 42.2%, and tenth graders 33.8%. BMI>=85th centile was associated with a tendency for higher hemoglobin A1c (p>=0.160) and higher blood glucose (p>=0.197). For the second graders, BMI>=85th centile was associated with higher high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP, p<0.001), higher tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha, p<0.001), higher interleukin-6 (IL-6, p<0.001), higher soluble intercellular cytoadhesive molecule-1 (sICAM-1), higher triglycerides (p<=0.024), and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL, p<0.001). Additionally, for the sixth and tenth graders, BMI>=85th centile was associated with higher gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT, p<0.001). In the sixth graders, BMI>=85th centile was insignificantly changed with sICAM-1 or the soluble vascular cytoadhesive molecule-1 (sVCAM-1). + + CONCLUSIONS: The studied children with excess fat had increased risks for developing systemic inflammation, dyslipidemia, endothelial dysfunction, cholestasis, and diabetes. These results suggest that metabolic biomarkers should be included in the routine assessment of children with an overweight problem. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Sixty-six obese and 4 overweight children (age 11.5 +/- 2.4 years; female n: 30) underwent office and ambulatory BP measurements (ABPM); ultrasound was used to measure carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), endothelial function by Flow-Mediated Dilation (FMD) and carotid distensibility (cDC); and digital photopletismography was used to measure stiffness index (SIDVP). Carotid IMT directly correlated with 24-h and nighttime-systolic blood pressure (SBP); while cDC had inverse correlations with BMI, waist circumference and 24-h BP. Unexpectedly, SIDVP resulted inversely related with several indices of excess weight. Most of these correlations remained significant after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, and BP. In a replication set of 40 obese children, SIDVP but not pulse wave velocity (PWV) remained inversely associated with BMI. These data suggest that arterial structure and elasticity are negatively affected by excess weight and BP levels, even in childhood. Surprisingly, SI may not be a reliable marker of vascular stiffness in obese children, because this measurement is likely confounded by other factors, including vasodilation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Methods: We performed a case-control study with 84 participants (44 patients with MetS diagnosed according to the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and International Diabetes Federation criteria and 40 control group) were recruited from King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between October 2014 and June 2015. Anthropometric parameters, biochemical markers as well as nesfatin-1 and galanin were measured. Results: Nesfatin-1 levels were found to be significantly lower and galanin levels significantly higher in MetS group compared to the control group. A significant negative correlation between serum nesfatin-1 and weight, waist circumference, and body mass index were observed. A significant positive correlation between serum galanin and with fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance, and triglycerides. Conclusion : Our findings indicated a lower level of nesfatin-1 and a higher level of galanin in patients with MetS, suggesting a role of these neuropeptides in the pathogenesis of this disease. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Calcium-Binding Proteins). 0 (DNA-Binding Proteins). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (NUCB2 protein, human). 0 (Nerve Tissue Proteins). 0 (Nucleobindins). 88813-36-9 (Galanin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.15537%2fsmj.2019.1.22825 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Alotibi&issn=0379-5284&title=Saudi+Medical+Journal&atitle=Serum+nesfatin-1+and+galanin+concentrations+in+the+adult+with+metabolic+syndrome.+Relationships+to+insulin+resistance+and+obesity.&volume=40&issue=1&spage=19&epage=25&date=2019&doi=10.15537%2Fsmj.2019.1.22825&pmid=30617376&sid=OVID:medline + +<1818> +Unique Identifier + 30613867 +Title + Bone metabolism markers are associated with neck circumference in adult Arab women. +Source + Osteoporosis International. 30(4):845-852, 2019 Apr. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Albassam RS; Sabico S; Alnaami AM; Khattak MNK; Lei KY; Al-Daghri NM; Reginster JY; Alokail MS +Author NameID + Al-Daghri, N M; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5472-1725 +Authors Full Name + Albassam, R S; Sabico, S; Alnaami, A M; Khattak, M N K; Lei, K Y; Al-Daghri, N M; Reginster, J-Y; Alokail, M S. +Institution + Albassam, R S.

This is the first study aimed to analyze the associations between NC and several bone biomarkers among adult Saudi women. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional study included a total of 265 middle-aged Saudi women [86 non-obese (mean age 52.7 +/- 8.1; mean BMI 26.9 +/- 2.3) and 179 obese (mean age 50.6 +/- 7.5; mean BMI 35.7 +/- 4.5)] recruited from primary care centers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Anthropometrics included BMI, NC, waist and hip circumferences, total body fat percentage (%), and blood pressure. Biochemical parameters included glucose and lipid profile which were measured routinely. Serum levels of 25(OH) D, parathyroid hormone, RANKl, sclerostin, C-terminal telopeptide of collagen I (CTX-I), Dkk1, IL1beta, osteoprotegerin, osteopontin, and osteocalcin were measured using commercially available assays. + + RESULTS: In all groups, NC was inversely associated with PTH (R = - 0.22; p < 0.05) and positively associated with osteoprotegerin (R = 0.20; p < 0.05) even after adjustments for age and BMI. Using all anthropometric indices as independent variables showed that only NC explained the variance perceived in CTX-I (p = 0.049). In the non-obese, waist-hip ratio (WHR) was significantly associated with sclerostin (R = 0.40; p < 0.05) and body fat was significantly associated with osteopontin (R = 0.42; p < 0.05). + + CONCLUSION: NC is modestly but significantly associated with bone biomarkers, particularly the bone resorption markers, among adult Arab women. The present findings highlight the importance of NC as measure of upper body subcutaneous fat in influencing bone biomarker expression in adult females. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Individuals with chronic diseases were excluded. The daily intakes of specific food items were assessed using a dish-based semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire comprising 103 items; the food items were then grouped into 26 food groups. Dietary patterns were analyzed by the reduced rank regression method using glycated hemoglobin, the homeostasis model of insulin resistance, and fasting glucose concentrations as dependent variables. We investigated the associations between dietary patterns and incident diabetes using the Cox proportional hazards model. + + RESULTS: During an 11.5-y follow-up, the incidence of diabetes was 11.8/1000 person-years. The dietary pattern related to selected biomarkers of diabetes was characterized by a relatively high intake of kimchi, beef, other meat, fish, and coffee in men and a high intake of rice, kimchi, and fruit in women. In men, the association of dietary patterns with incident diabetes was significant only in the obese group, and those in the top quartile of the dietary pattern score had a 1.72 times (95% CI: 1.15, 2.56 times) greater risk of incident diabetes than those in the bottom quartile. Conversely, dietary patterns in women were not associated with incident diabetes. + + CONCLUSION: Using reduced rank regression, we identified dietary patterns related to selected biomarkers of diabetes in a long-term study with follow-up data in Korea.

The effect of pharmacologically mediated weight loss on renal outcomes is not well-described. Lorcaserin, a selective serotonin 2C receptor agonist that promotes appetite suppression, led to sustained weight loss without any increased risk for major adverse cardiovascular (CV) events in the CAMELLIA-TIMI 61 trial (Cardiovascular and Metabolic Effects of Lorcaserin in Overweight and Obese Patients-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 61). + + METHODS: CAMELLIA-TIMI 61 randomly assigned 12 000 overweight or obese patients with or at high risk for atherosclerotic CV disease to lorcaserin or placebo on a background of lifestyle modification. The primary renal outcome was a composite of new or worsening persistent micro- or macroalbuminuria, new or worsening chronic kidney disease, doubling of serum creatinine, end-stage renal disease, renal transplant, or renal death. + + RESULTS: At baseline, 23.8% of patients had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL.min-1.1.73 m-2 and 19.0% had albuminuria (urinary albumin:creatinine ratio >=30 mg/g). Lorcaserin reduced the risk of the primary renal composite outcome (4.2% per year versus 4.9% per year; hazard ratio [HR], 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79-0.96; P=0.0064). The benefit was consistent across subpopulations at increased baseline CV and renal risk. Lorcaserin improved both eGFR and urinary albumin:creatinune ratio within the first year after randomization. The effect of lorcaserin on weight, hemoglobin A1c, and systolic blood pressure was consistent regardless of baseline renal function. Likewise, there was no excess in cardiovascular events in patients assigned to lorcaserin in comparison with placebo, regardless of renal function. After adjustment for baseline characteristics, those with evidence of kidney disease were at increased risk of major CV events. Compared with patients with an eGFR >=90 mL.min-1.1.73 m-2, those with an eGFR 60-90 and those <60 mL.min-1.1.73 m-2 had HRs of 1.25 (95% CI, 1.01, 1.56) and 1.51 (95% CI, 1.17, 1.95), respectively ( P for trend 0.0015). Likewise, compared with patients with no albuminuria (<30 mg/g), those microalbuminuria and those with macroalbuminuria had HRs of 1.46 (95% CI, 1.22, 1.74) and 2.10 (95% CI, 1.58, 2.80), respectively ( P for trend <0.0001). + + CONCLUSIONS: Renal dysfunction was associated with increased CV risk in overweight and obese patients. When added to diet and lifestyle, lorcaserin reduced the rate of new-onset or progressive renal impairment in comparison with placebo. + + CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov .

Obesity increases the risk of many chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and certain types of cancer, and is associated with lower life expectancy. The body mass index (BMI), which is currently used to classify obesity, is only an imperfect measure of abnormal or excessive body fat accumulation. Studies have shown that waist circumference as a measure of fat distribution may improve disease prediction. More elaborate techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging are increasingly available to assess body fat distribution, but these measures are not readily available in routine clinical practice, and health-relevant cut-offs not yet been established. The measurement of biomarkers that reflect the underlying biological mechanisms for the increased disease risk may be an alternative approach to characterize the relevant obesity phenotype. The insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis and chronic low-grade inflammation have been identified as major pathways. In addition, specific adipokines such as leptin, adiponectin and resistin have been related to obesity-associated health outcomes. This biomarker research, which is currently further developed with the application of high throughput methods, gives important insights in obesity-related disease etiology and pathophysiological pathways and may be used to better characterize obese persons at high risk of disease development and target disease-causing biomarkers in personalized prevention strategies.

Some animal studies suggest that alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) can improve disease outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ALA supplementation on liver enzymes and inflammatory markers in obese patients with NAFLD. + + METHODS: In the current randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 50 obese patients with NAFLD were randomly allocated to either "ALA"(received 1200 mg ALA as two capsules per day plus 400 mg vitamin E) or "placebo"(received placebo containing starch, as two capsules per day plus 400 mg vitamin E) groups for 12 weeks. Body composition and anthropometric measures, serum levels of liver enzymes, adiponectin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and ferritin were measured at baseline and the end of the study. + + RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: A total number of 45 patients completed the study (ALA group = 23; placebo group = 22). The serum concentration of IL-6 decreased significantly in ALA group in comparison with the placebo group, at end of the study (P = 0.049). Furthermore, ALA intake resulted in a significant increase in serum adiponectin levels compared to placebo (P = 0.008). A significant improvement was observed in liver steatosis grade of the patients in both groups, compared to baseline (P < 0.05). However, there was no difference between the two groups for the changes in liver steatosis, by the end of the study. Body composition and anthropometric measures, liver enzymes, MCP-1 and ferritin serum levels were not significantly different between the study groups, neither at the baseline nor at the end of the study. + + WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION: Collectively, ALA supplementation improved serum adiponectin and IL-6 levels, without changing serum liver enzymes and liver steatosis in obese patients with NAFLD.

The purpose of this study was to assess obesity, hypertension (HT), metabolic variables, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in young PwH. + + Methods: Forty-eight haemophilia A and B patients and 35 age and sex matched healthy controls were included in the study. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure (BP), fasting glucose and insulin levels, serum lipids and diet were evaluated. The metabolic syndrome was defined according to the criteria of the International Diabetes Federation for pediatric and adult age groups. + + Results: The mean age of PwH was 21+/-9 years (range, 6-40 years). Of those >=18 years, 46% were were obese/overweight while there were no obese/overweight cases in the <18 year-old patients. Obesity was more prevalent in PwH with arthropathy (p=0.017). Seven percent of the PwH between 10 and 18 years-old and 25% of those >=18 years had metabolic syndrome. There was no difference in metabolic syndrome frequency between PwH and controls >10 years-old (19.5% vs 10% respectively, p=0.34). Fifty percent of the PwH >=18 years-old had elevated BP or HT. Fasting blood glucose levels of PwH were significantly higher compared to controls (p=0.02). + + Conclusion: Our study showed that obesity, HT and metabolic syndrome are frequent problems, especially in PwH with arthropathy. Early prevention and management of overweight, obesity and their sequelae must be addressed in clinical practice in order to maximize the overall health of the haemophilia population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Evaluation Study.

We previously reported that differing B cell subsets are lowered in the bone marrow of obese male mice. Here, we focused on how lipid metabolites synthesized from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) known as specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) influence specific B cell populations in obese male mice. Metabololipidomics revealed that splenic SPM precursors 14-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (14-HDHA), 17-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (17-HDHA), and downstream protectin DX (PDX) were decreased in obese male C57BL/6J mice. Simultaneous administration of these mediators to obese mice rescued major decrements in bone marrow B cells, modest impairments in the spleen, and circulating IgG2c, which is pro-inflammatory in obesity. In vitro studies with B cells, flow cytometry experiments with ALOX5-/- mice, and lipidomic analyses revealed the lowering of 14-HDHA/17-HDHA/PDX and dysregulation of B cell populations in obesity was driven indirectly via B cell extrinsic mechanisms. Notably, the lowering of lipid mediators was associated with an increase in the abundance of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have a high affinity for SPM-generating enzymes. Subsequent experiments revealed female obese mice generally maintained the levels of SPM precursors, B cell subsets, and antibody levels. Finally, obese human females had increased circulating plasma cells accompanied by ex vivo B cell TNFalpha and IL-10 secretion. Collectively, the data demonstrate that DHA-derived mediators of the SPM pathway control the number of B cell subsets and pro-inflammatory antibody levels in obese male but not female mice through a defect that is extrinsic to B cells.

However, methods to measure both are not well standardized, and the reliability of commonly used measures is not known. + + METHODS: We calculated the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for several common measures of intestinal permeability and adipose tissue inflammation from a randomized clinical trial of cross-over design in which normal-weight (n = 12) or overweight/obese (n = 12) individuals each completed three 8-day dietary intervention periods. + + RESULTS: For biomarkers of intestinal permeability, plasma zonulin, and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, ICCs were "excellent" (i.e., >0.9). The direct measure of intestinal permeability, the lactulose/mannitol test, exhibited "fair" reliability (ICC = 0.53). A wider range of ICCs (0.6-0.9), suggesting "good" to "excellent" reliability, were obtained for measures of adipose tissue expression of genes encoding major mediators of inflammation. Similarly, individual immune cell populations isolated from adipose tissue, expressed as a percentage of all CD45+ cells, also had "good" to "excellent" ICCs. However, when these populations were expressed as number of cells per gram of tissue, ICC values were "fair," falling below 0.6. + + CONCLUSIONS: Due to the repeated measures design, our study offered a unique opportunity to assess reliability of commonly used biomarkers of intestinal permeability and adipose tissue inflammation. Our findings suggest that these measures were generally highly reliable in the short-term. + + IMPACT: Along with other factors, particularly validity, the demonstrated reliabilities can help inform the choice of endpoints in studies of intestinal permeability and adipose tissue inflammation.

The relationship among BMI, IL-6, TNFalpha, adiponectin, and oxidized high-density lipoprotein (Ox-HDL) with circulating endothelial cells (CECs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) has not been well studied. Elevated CEC levels have been described in both humans and mice with obesity and diabetes. Ox-HDL has been shown to be a potent driver of adipogenesis in vivo and in vitro. In this study, elevated BMI was examined in 2 groups of women studied in Brooklyn, New York, and Huntington, West Virginia, respectively. + + METHODS: Twenty-six females with obesity and five lean controls without overt cardiovascular disease were enrolled, 13 from Huntington and 13 from Brooklyn. Cytokine levels, EPCs, and CECs were determined. + + RESULTS: Females with obesity had elevated levels of leptin, IL-6, and Ox-HDL, increased CEC levels, and decreased EPC and adiponectin levels (all P < 0.01). The Ox-HDL levels were higher in women from Brooklyn versus Huntington (P < 0.01), possibly from higher TNFalpha levels in Brooklyn or higher adiponectin levels in Huntington. Seventy-five percent of the variance in Ox-HDL levels could be predicted in this population (P < 0.01). + + CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals a unique inflammatory biomarker profile in females with obesity.

Participants were categorized (pretreatment) as normoglycemic (FPG < 5.6 mmol/L) or prediabetic (FPG >= 5.6-6.9 mmol/L) and further stratified by median FI. Linear mixed models were used to examine outcomes by FPG and FI values. + + RESULTS: After 2 years, participants with prediabetes and high FI lost 7.2 kg (95% CI 2.1;12.2, P = 0.005) more with the low-fat than low-carbohydrate diet, whereas those with prediabetes and low FI tended to lose 6.2 kg (95% CI -0.9;13.3, P = 0.088) more on the low-carbohydrate diet than low-fat diet [mean difference: 13.3 kg (95% CI 4.6;22.0, P = 0.003)]. No differences between diets were found among participants with normoglycemia and either high or low FI (both P >= 0.16). + + CONCLUSIONS: Fasting plasma glucose and insulin are strong predictors of the weight loss response to diets with different macronutrient composition and might be a useful approach for personalized weight management. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Omentin is an adipokine secreted essentially by visceral adipose tissue with an insulin-sensitizing effect. Insulin resistance (IR) is a common feature of PCOS, therefore the aim of this study was to investigate omentin-1 level in adolescent girls with PCOS and its relationship with IR and androgens. + + METHOD: A total of 41 obese girls with PCOS, and 30 age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched obese girls without PCOS were enrolled in the study. The demographic, clinic and laboratory characteristics of the groups were compared. Additionally, bivariate correlation analysis of omentin-1 with BMI standard deviation score (BMI-SDS), insulin, glucose, homeostatic model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR), total and free testosterone was performed. + + RESULTS: In the PCOS group HOMA-IR, free and total testosterone were higher than in the control group. Omentin-1 was lower in the PCOS group compared with the controls (55.01 +/- 7.99 ng/mL vs 59.10 +/- 7.02 ng/mL, respectively; P = 0.027). Omentin-1 was inversely correlated with free testosterone (r = -0.527, P = 0.030) and BMI-SDS (r = -0.241, P = 0.046) but it was not correlated with total testosterone, HOMA-IR, glucose, insulin or serum lipids. + + CONCLUSION: Omentin-1 was lower in obese girls with PCOS and hyperandrogenism was associated with this condition.

One hundred and thirty-four volunteers were evaluated (mean age 21 +/- 2 years). Body composition was calculated through skinfold thickness: supra-iliac, biceps, and triceps, sub-scapular. Body fat percentage (BF%) was used to classify subjects according to fat tissue accumulation: normal-weight (n = 37, 19 females, 18 males), overweight (n = 42, 30 females, 12 males), and obese (n = 55, 42 females, 13 males). Saliva samples were collected 30 min after awakening to determine salivary levels of 17-beta-estradiol. For salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase activity (sAA) three samples were obtained, just after awakening, 30 min after awakening and at bedtime. Oral contraceptive intake was considered for the female group. The results showed that overweight and obese females using oral contraceptive presented lower levels of 17-beta-estradiol than normal-weight females. In overweight and obese males, sAA levels were higher 30 min post-awakening when compared with the normal-weight group. The comparison of sAA levels within time showed no difference for males; obese females showed significant higher values at bedtime than 30 min post-awakening. The salivary cortisol concentration showed higher values at morning decreasing significantly at bedtime for all groups. Concluding, differences in 17-beta-estradiol and sAA levels were found in females and males, respectively, according to body fat accumulation, showing the usefulness of salivary biomarkers in the study of systemic conditions. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Saliva is an advantageous biological fluid in innovative methods for diagnosis. Besides being a noninvasive method, salivary steroid measurements have the potential to provide a convenient assessment of serum free steroid concentrations.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between body fat percentage and an imbalance of the prooxidant/antioxidant balance (PAB), serum superoxide dismutase (SOD1) and inflammation (serum hs-CRP) and increase risk of metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus. In this study, 9154 individuals were recruited as part of the Mashhad Stroke and Heart Association Disorder (MASHAD) study. Subjects were categorized into two groups according to body fat percentage as defined >25% in male and > 30% in female, according to gender. Biochemical factors, including serum PAB, SOD1, and hs-CRP were measured in all subjects. SPSS version 18 was used for statistical analyses for all. GraphPad Prism 6 for figures was used. Of total number of subjects (9154), 6748 (73.7%) were found to have a high body fat (BF) percentage. Serum hs-CRP and PAB were significantly higher in individuals with a high BF percentage (P < 0.05) but SOD1 was not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05). BF percentage, serum PAB and serum hs-CRP were significantly higher in individuals with metabolic syndrome and diabetes versus those without metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus (P < 0.05), however serum SOD1 was significantly lower in individuals with metabolic syndrome (P < 0.005). Oxidative stress and inflammation are two factors that may link the presence of high BF percentage with the development of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. © 2018 BioFactors, 45(1):35-42, 2019.

A second objective was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) for NAFLD in children with obesity. + + STUDY DESIGN: We evaluated children aged 9-17 years with obesity for the presence of NAFLD. Diseases other than NAFLD were excluded by history and laboratories. Hepatic steatosis was measured by liver magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction. The diagnostic accuracy of ALT for detecting NAFLD was evaluated. + + RESULTS: The study included 408 children with obesity that had a mean age of 13.2 years and mean body mass index percentile of 98.0. The study population had a mean ALT of 32 U/L and median hepatic magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction of 3.7%. The estimated prevalence of NAFLD was 26.0% (95% CI 24.2%-27.7%), 29.4% in male patients (CI 26.1%-32.7%) and 22.6% in female patients (CI 16.0%-29.1%). Optimal ALT cut-point was 42 U/L (47.8% sensitivity, 93.2% specificity) for male and 30 U/L (52.1% sensitivity, 88.8% specificity) for female patients. The classification and regression tree model with sex, ALT, and insulin had 80% diagnostic accuracy for NAFLD. + + CONCLUSIONS: NAFLD is common in children with obesity, but NAFLD and obesity are not concomitant. In children with obesity, NAFLD is present in nearly one-third of boys and one-fourth of girls. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

Cathepsin S correlates with central obesity and contributes to the formation and progression of atherosclerosis. Here, we sought to evaluate the association of serum cathepsin S with metabolic syndrome (MS) in overweight and obese Chinese adults. + + METHODS: We evaluated serum cathepsin S levels in a cross-sectional sample of 781 overweight and obese Chinese adults by ELISA. Glucose, insulin, lipid profile, inflammatory markers, and adipokines were also measured. + + RESULTS: Cathepsin S was significantly associated with BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), systolic blood pressure, C-reactive protein (CRP), triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol (all P < 0.05). Plasma cathepsin S levels increased significantly (P = 0.045 for trend) with increasing numbers of MS components after adjustment for potential confounders. In the highest cathepsin S quartile, the MS risk was significantly higher (odds ratio 2.30; 95% confidence interval, 1.89-2.78) than in the lowest quartile after adjustment for age, gender, alcohol consumption, smoking, education, physical activity, self-reported CVD, and family history of diabetes. This association remained strong (odds ratio 1.97; 95% confidence interval, 1.72-2.48) after controlling further for CRP, adiponectin, HOMA-IR, and BMI. + + CONCLUSIONS: Elevated circulating cathepsin S concentrations are strongly and independently associated with MS in overweight and obese Chinese adults. Prospective studies are needed to establish the role of cathepsin S in the development of MS. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

It is proposed that peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) levels of interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6 are higher in obese as compared to nonobese individuals. + + OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present clinico-laboratory study is to estimate and compare the clinical and radiographic indices and PICF levels of IL-1beta and IL-6 among obese and nonobese patients. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty patients were divided into two groups (25 obese with >=27.5 kg/m2 and 25 nonobese with <27.5 kg/m2 individuals). Clinical indices for both periodontal and peri-implant evaluating plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and crestal bone loss (CBL) were recorded around teeth and implants. PICF was collected and assessed for the levels of IL-1beta and IL-6 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. + + RESULTS: A significant difference was observed in PI and BOP around natural teeth and implants in obese patients, respectively (P < .05). CBL was found to be significantly higher among obese as compared to nonobese patients (P = .022). Peri-implant and periodontal PD was higher in obese as compared to nonobese but did not reach statistical significance. Levels of IL-1beta and IL-6 were statistically significantly higher among obese patients as compared to nonobese (P = .001). Pearson correlation analysis showed IL-1beta was positively correlated with CBL (P = .0079), whereas IL-6 showed positive correlation with both BOP (P = .0019) and CBL (P = .015) among obese patients. + + CONCLUSIONS: Clinical peri-implant parameters were worse and proinflammatory biomarkers were significantly higher in obese patients compared with nonobese subjects. The findings of the present study suggests that increased proinflammatory biomarkers in PICF of obese patients may modulate peri-implant inflammation around dental implants.

In obesity, both GH secretion and adipose tissue GHR gene expression are decreased. More detailed information on the regulation of GHR, STAT3/5, and downstream-regulated genes in human adipose tissue during diet-induced weight loss and weight gain is lacking. + + OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to investigate the gene expression patterns of GHR and the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway (JAK2, STAT3, STAT5A, and STAT5B) in human subcutaneous adipose tissue in relation to energy restriction and overfeeding. + + DESIGN, PATIENTS, AND INTERVENTIONS: Tissue distribution was analyzed in a data set generated by RNA sequencing containing information on global expression in human tissues. Subcutaneous adipose tissue or adipocyte gene expression (measured by DNA microarrays) was investigated in the following settings: (i) individuals with obesity vs individuals with normal weight; (ii) energy restriction; and (iii) overfeeding. + + RESULTS: GHR expression was decreased in subjects with obesity compared with subjects with normal weight (P < 0.001). It was increased in response to energy restriction and decreased in response to overfeeding (P = 0.015 and P = 0.030, respectively). STAT3 expression was increased in subjects with obesity (P < 0.001). It was decreased during energy restriction and increased during overfeeding (P = 0.004 and P = 0.006, respectively). STAT3-regulated genes showed an overall view of overexpression in obesity. + + CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study have shown that GHR, STAT3, and STAT3-regulated genes are dynamically, and reciprocally, regulated at the tissue level in response to energy restriction and overfeeding, suggesting that GH signaling is perturbed in obesity.

We aimed to examine the independent relationship between ADM and the progression of major cardiometabolic risk factors during long-term follow-up. + + METHODS: We studied midregional pro-ADM (MR-proADM) in fasting plasma in 3298 participants from the population-based Malmo Diet and Cancer Study - Cardiovascular Cohort, re-examined after 17 years of follow-up and related baseline MR-proADM to cardiometabolic risk factors cross-sectionally and longitudinally. + + RESULTS: At baseline, after full adjustment, each SD increment of MR-proADM was independently related to (beta +/- standard error, P value) higher SBP (0.956 +/- 0.319 mmHg, P = 0.003), BMI (0.912 +/- 0.061 kg/m, P = 1.42 x 10), waist (2.28 +/- 0.158 cm, P = 8.46 x 10) and fasting blood glucose (0.046 +/- 0.018 mmol/l, P = 0.01). After full adjustment, including the baseline level of the risk factor whose degree of progression was studied, each SD increment of MR-proADM predicted significantly reduced progression of SBP (-1.170 +/- 0.337 mmHg, P = 0.001) and fasting blood glucose (-0.055 +/- 0.023 mmol/l, P = 0.015), but greater increase of BMI (0.101 +/- 0.051 kg/m, P = 0.047) and waist (0.600 +/- 0.144 cm, P = 3.1 x 10). + + CONCLUSION: Despite cross-sectional associations with higher levels of blood pressure and glucose, high levels of MR-proADM predict a slower progression of blood pressure and glycemia during long-term follow-up. Conversely, the cross-sectional associations with higher levels of MR-proADM and obesity were paralleled by a faster progression of obesity markers over time. These results may be important for assessment of long-term effects of therapies modulating levels of ADM. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Protein Precursors). 0 (proadrenomedullin). 148498-78-6 (Adrenomedullin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, the correlation between ADMA and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and obesity has not been studied. A total of 195 subjects were involved in our study. The characteristics of the subjects in the study cohort were measured and analyzed. We found that the serum ADMA and C-reactive protein levels were significantly increased in IGT and diabetic patients, whereas the levels of lipoprotein A and adiponectin were decreased, especially in diabetic patients with obesity. The serum ADMA level was positively correlated to a homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance, and multivariate regression analysis further indicated that ADMA was an independent factor for DM patients with obesity. Our study expands the understanding of the complicated relationship between obesity, insulin resistance, IGT, and ADMA. In addition, we demonstrated that the serum ADMA level could serve as a diagnositic biomarker of the early signs for IGT patients with obesity.

Ultrasonography is a simple bedside screening tool used for the assessment of ectopic visceral fat including fatty pancreas. This study investigates the association between insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and fatty pancreas detected by ultrasound in children with obesity. Methods This case-control study included 50 prepubertal obese (body mass index [BMI] >=95th age- and sex-specific percentiles) and 30 lean children (BMI 5th-85th age- and sex-specific percentiles) as the control group. Clinical and laboratory parameters of metabolic syndrome including anthropometric indices of central obesity, blood pressure, fasting glucose and lipid profile were measured. Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was used to assess insulin resistance. Ultrasonographic assessment for pancreatic fat was done for all children. Results Fifty-eight percent of obese children had fatty pancreas. Obese children with fatty pancreas had a higher rate of metabolic syndrome (p=0.013) and insulin resistance than those with non-fatty pancreas (p=0.012). Regression analysis revealed that fatty pancreas is an independent predictor of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Fatty pancreas increases the risk for metabolic syndrome (odds ratio [OR] 11.40; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.69-48.22) and insulin resistance (OR 7.85; 95% CI: 2.20-28.05) in children with obesity. Conclusions Obese children have higher pancreatic fat accumulation than lean children. Obese children with fatty pancreas are more susceptible to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1515%2fjpem-2018-0315 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Elhady&issn=0334-018X&title=Journal+of+Pediatric+Endocrinology+%26+Metabolism&atitle=Fatty+pancreas+in+relation+to+insulin+resistance+and+metabolic+syndrome+in+children+with+obesity.&volume=32&issue=1&spage=19&epage=26&date=2019&doi=10.1515%2Fjpem-2018-0315&pmid=30530906&sid=OVID:medline + +<1840> +Unique Identifier + 30530892 +Title + Adiponectin, leptin and high sensitivity C-reactive protein values in obese children - important markers for metabolic syndrome?. +Source + Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism. 32(1):27-31, 2019 Jan 28. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Stroescu RF; Marginean O; Bizerea T; Gafencu M; Voicu A; Doros G +Authors Full Name + Stroescu, Ramona F; Marginean, Otilia; Bizerea, Teofana; Gafencu, Mihai; Voicu, Adrian; Doros, Gabriela. +Institution + Stroescu, Ramona F.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between markers of adiposity such as leptin, adiponectin and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in obese children, and to determine whether these adipokines are significant markers in defining metabolic syndrome (MetS) in pediatric population. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of 1 year, between July 2013 and June 2014, on 122 cases of obesity in children diagnosed at the Louis Turcanu Emergency Hospital for Children Timisoara, in the departments of Diabetes and Nutritional Diseases, Endocrinology and Cardiology. The patients were divided into two groups, according to the presence of MetS. Results MetS was present in 27% of obese children. The groups were homogenous with respect to age, sex and body mass index (BMI). Adiponectin, leptin and hs-CRP were significantly modified in the group with MetS (p=0.04, p=0.04, p=0.01, respectively). Conclusions hs-CRP, leptin and adiponectin can be used as predictors of cardiovascular risk in pediatric population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1515%2fjpem-2018-0378 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Stroescu&issn=0334-018X&title=Journal+of+Pediatric+Endocrinology+%26+Metabolism&atitle=Adiponectin%2C+leptin+and+high+sensitivity+C-reactive+protein+values+in+obese+children+-+important+markers+for+metabolic+syndrome%3F.&volume=32&issue=1&spage=27&epage=31&date=2019&doi=10.1515%2Fjpem-2018-0378&pmid=30530892&sid=OVID:medline + +<1841> +Unique Identifier + 30528492 +Title + Haptoglobin levels are influenced by Hp1-Hp2 polymorphism, obesity, inflammation, and hypertension in type 2 diabetes mellitus. +Source + Endocrinologia Diabetes Y Nutricion. 66(2):99-107, 2019 Feb. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Rodrigues KF; Pietrani NT; Carvalho LML; Bosco AA; Sandrim VC; Ferreira CN; Gomes KB +Authors Full Name + Rodrigues, Kathryna Fontana; Pietrani, Nathalia Teixeira; Carvalho, Laura Machado Lara; Bosco, Adriana Aparecida; Sandrim, Valeria Cristina; Ferreira, Claudia Natalia; Gomes, Karina Braga. +Institution + Rodrigues, Kathryna Fontana.

Haptoglobin (Hp) is an acute phase reactant that scavenges extracorpuscular hemoglobin from circulation and prevents heme-iron oxidative damage. + + OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between Hp levels and Hp1-Hp2 gene polymorphism and clinical and laboratory parameters in patients with T2DM. + + METHODS: The study sample consisted of 102 T2DM patients and 62 controls. Hp plasma levels were measured using an ELISA assay, and Hp genotyping was performed using a specific two-step allelic polymerase chain reaction. + + RESULTS: Hp levels were higher in T2DM patients as compared to controls (p=0.005). T2DM patients with high blood pressure had higher Hp levels than patients without this comorbidity (p=0.021). Obese T2DM patients had higher Hp levels as compared to obese controls (p=0.009) and to non-obese T2DM patients (p=0.003). The Hp1-Hp1 genotype was showed to be associated to T2DM according to additive (OR=3.038, 95% CI 1.127-8.192; p=0.036) and dominant model (OR=0.320, 95% CI 0.118-0.839; p=0.010), but Hp2 allele carriers contributed with higher Hp levels in T2DM as compared to controls. Waist circumference (p=0.002), BMI (p=0.001), and IL-6 (p=0.012), and hs-CRP (p=0.001) levels positively correlated with Hp levels in the T2DM group. + + CONCLUSION: These results suggest that Hp levels are influenced by Hp1-Hp2 polymorphism, obesity, inflammatory status, and high blood pressure in T2DM.

Patients were categorized as adolescents (AD: 13.0-18.9 years; n = 91) and young adults (YA: 19.0-24.9 years; n = 183). Adolescents were further categorized as early adolescents (Early-AD: 13.0-15.9 years; n = 31) and late adolescents (Late-AD: 16.0-18.9 years; n = 60). + + INTERVENTION(S): History, physical examination, hormonal assays with the use of standardized protocols. + + MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (ORs; adjusted for body mass index [BMI] when applicable) were calculated for biochemical hyperandrogenism (HA), hirsutism (HIR), acne, and degree of oligo/amenorrhea (OA). PCOS phenotypes were classified as HIR+HA+OA, HA+OA, and HIR+OA. + + RESULT(S): Our analysis demonstrated minimal significant difference in the prevalence of the three PCOS phenotypes, or component features, between AD and YA patients. The risks for obesity were higher for YA versus AD, and the risk of acne was lower for YA versus AD. There was no significant difference between Early-AD and Late-AD. BMI-adjusted models did not significantly modify the main findings. + + CONCLUSION(S): The present study suggests that the PCOS phenotype is established in early adolescence, remains constant into adulthood, and is not related to BMI.

Anthropometry was measured at baseline. Incident DSPN was defined by neuropathic impairments using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument at baseline and follow-up. Associations between anthropometric measurements and DSPN were estimated by multivariable logistic regression. Potential differences by diabetes status were assessed using interaction terms. Mediation analysis was conducted to determine the mediation effect of subclinical inflammation in these associations. + + RESULTS: After a mean follow-up of 6.5 years, 127 cases with incident DSPN were detected. Both general and abdominal obesity were associated with development of DSPN. The odds ratios (95% CI) of DSPN were 3.06 (1.57; 5.97) for overweight, 3.47 (1.72; 7.00) for obesity (reference: normal BMI), and 1.22 (1.07; 1.38) for 5-cm differences in waist circumference, respectively. Interaction analyses did not indicate any differences by diabetes status. Two chemokines (C-C motif chemokine ligand 7 [CCL7] and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 [CXCL10]) and one neuron-specific marker (Delta/Notch-like epidermal growth factor-related receptor [DNER]) were identified as potential mediators, which explained a proportion of the total effect up to 11% per biomarker. + + CONCLUSIONS: General and abdominal obesity were associated with incident DSPN among individuals with and without diabetes, and this association was partly mediated by inflammatory markers. However, further mechanisms and biomarkers should be investigated as additional mediators to explain the remainder of this association.

This study evaluated the effects of exenatide monotherapy on glycemic control and weight change in normal-weight, overweight, and obese patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D). + + METHODS: In this multicenter prospective study, 29 normal-weight, 54 overweight, and 27 obese newly diagnosed and drug-naive patients with T2D were treated with exenatide for 48 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the effect of baseline body mass index (BMI) on glycemic control, measured as the change in HbA1c from baseline to Week 48 compared among different BMI groups. Other endpoints included comparisons of the effects of exenatide on fasting plasma glucose (FPG), postprandial plasma glucose (PPG), body weight, and other metabolic indices. + + RESULTS: After 48-week treatment, the estimated mean changes in HbA1c in normal-weight, overweight, and obese patients were -1.9%, -1.8%, and -1.5%, respectively (P = 0.290 among groups after adjustment for baseline values). There were similar declines in FPG and 0.5- and 2-hour PPG among groups. There were non-significant trends from normal-weight to overweight to obese patients for increased weight reduction (decreases of 2.2, 3.9, and 4.0 kg, respectively; P = 0.104) and changes in waist circumference (decreases of 2.2, 3.2, and 5.6 cm, respectively; P = 0.078). + + CONCLUSIONS: Baseline BMI had no effect on glycemic control, weight change, or other metabolic indices with exenatide monotherapy. Normal-weight patients with T2D would benefit from exenatide as much as overweight or obese patients on glucose control, without increased risk of excess weight loss. Copyright © 2018 The Authors.

Plasma XOR activity has been shown to be associated with obesity, smoking, liver dysfunction, hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: The association between plasma XOR activity, measured by using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, and levels of adipokines, including adiponectin, fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), was investigated in 282 participants (male/female: 126/156) of the Tanno-Sobetsu Study who were not taking medication. + + RESULTS: Women had lower plasma XOR activity than did men. Smoking habit was associated with increased activity. Plasma XOR activity was positively correlated with concentrations of FABP4 (r = 0.192, P < 0.001) and FGF21 (r = 0.208, P < 0.001), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance as an index of insulin resistance and uric acid, and was negatively correlated with adiponectin level (r = -0.243, P = 0.001). Multivariate regression analyses showed that levels of adiponectin, FABP4 and FGF21 were independent determinants of plasma XOR activity after adjusting age, sex, uric acid and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. With additional adjustment of smoking habit, the level of FABP4, but not that of adiponectin or FGF21, remained as an independent predictor of plasma XOR activity. + + CONCLUSIONS: Plasma XOR activity was independently associated with levels of adipokines in a general population of individuals not taking medication.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate if the supplementation of omega-3 with LI could improve metabolic and endothelial abnormality in obese adolescents with hypertriglyceridemia. The study involved sixty-nine adolescents with normal weight and seventy obese adolescents with hypertriglyceridemia. All obese adolescents were applied to LI and randomly assigned to omega-3 supplementation or placebo group for 12 weeks. The obese adolescents with hypertriglyceridemia presented increased levels of leptin, retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), selectin E (sE) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and decreased levels of adiponectin compared with control subjects. After 12-week intervention, omega-3 supplementation with LI decreased significantly in triglycerides, HOMA, leptin, RBP4, ADMA and sE. Moreover, omega-3 with LI displayed a significant reduction in triglycerides, ADMA and sE in comparison with LI alone. In subjects with omega-3 combined with LI assessed by multivariate regression model, the reduction in triglycerides was the only independent determinant of the decrease in ADMA. The reductions in triglycerides and HOMA were significantly contributed to the changes in sE. Our data indicated that omega-3 combined with LI in short duration significantly improved dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, abnormality of adipokines, endothelial dysfunction in comparison of LI alone, indicating the combined approach is an effective clinical and applicable strategy to control metabolic abnormality and decrease the risks of cardiovascular diseases in obese adolescents.

A role for Gas6 in stabilizing atherosclerotic plaque has been suggested. Our aim was to determine the association between Gas6 and measures of carotid artery atherosclerosis in humans undergoing elective coronary angiography. Secondary aims were to determine the association between Gas6 and sex, diabetes, and obesity. + + METHODS: In 204 outpatients referred for coronary angiography, EDTA plasma was collected and a focused carotid ultrasound performed. Degree of angiographic coronary artery disease was scored. Carotid intima media thickness as well as maximum plaque height, plaque area, and grayscale median were measured by vascular sonography. Gas6 was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. + + RESULTS: We found that Gas6 concentrations were lower in males and were associated with diabetes, obesity, and lower kidney function. After adjustment for age, sex, kidney function, BMI and traditional cardiac risk factors; diabetes was associated with higher levels of Gas6, whilst there was a significant inverse relationship between Gas6 and total plaque area. Gas6 was inversely associated with maximum plaque height and total plaque area in adjusted multi-variable models. + + CONCLUSIONS: We observed higher levels of Gas6 in participantswith adverse cardiovascular risk profiles (e.g. diabetes, obesity) yet Gas6 was independently associated with reduced plaque height and total plaque area. These findings suggest that Gas6 may play a role in human atherosclerotic plaque remodeling. Copyright © 2018 The Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists. Published by Elsevier Inc.

But the beneficial role of CRT in obese individuals is still not well understood. This study explores the reducing effects of progressive CRT on inflammatory biomarkers and cardiometabolic risk factors in obese young men. + + METHODS: Thirty obese men (Body mass index (BMI): 30.67+/-3.06; age: 23+/-3.2years) were divided into CRT and control groups. The CRT was performed for eight-weeks (3 times/week, 65-85% of 1 repetition maximum). Fasting blood samples were taken pre and post intervention for analyzing apelin, chemerin, serum amyloid A (SAA), C reactive protein concentrations (CRP), lipid profile, and insulin resistance index. The data were assessed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA. + + RESULTS: Body mass, BMI and waist to hip ratio (WHR) were significantly decreased after training intervention (P<.05). Compared to the control group, the plasma concentrations of Chemrin (P=.038), SAA (P=.004), insulin (P<.001), insulin resistance index (P<.001), total cholesterol (P=.033), triglyceride (P<.001), and low-density lipoprotein (P=.039), were significantly mitigated in the CRT group, but high-density lipoprotein plasma levels increased in the CRT group compared to that of the control group (P=.035). There was no significant difference between two groups in apelin and CRP (P>.05). Moreover, insulin resistance was positively correlated with apelin (r=0.56) and chemerin (r=0.51). Also, chemerin had a positive correlation with SAA (r=0.49), and WHR (r=0.54). + + CONCLUSION: CRT caused an improvement in inflammation and cardiometabolic risk factors in young obese men, and this improvement was accompanied by decreased insulin resistance.

The purpose of the current study was to examine the relation between an inflammatory marker, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and incident atrial fibrillation (AF) in asymptomatic adults. We investigated 21,118 self-referred men and women who were annually screened in a tertiary medical center. All subjects were free of AF at baseline and had their serum NLR calculated at the first annual visit. Subjects were divided into 2 groups based on their baseline NLR: Low (<2.83; n = 17,524) and high (>=2.83; n = 3,594; Upper Sextile). The primary endpoint was new onset AF during follow-up. Mean age of study population was 48 +/- 10 years and 72% were men. A total of 563 (2.7%) incident events occurred during an average follow-up of 7.5 +/- 5 years. Unadjusted Cox regression analysis demonstrated that each 1 unit increase in NLR was associated with a significant 14% increase in risk of occurrence of a first AF event (95% confidence interval 1.06 to 1.23, p < 0.001) and 20% increased risk of death. Kaplan-Meier's survival analysis showed that the cumulative probability of incident AF was significantly higher among subjects with high NLR compared with low NLR group (p=0.006). Interaction analysis with adjustment to clinical parameters showed that NLR-related risk was age-dependent, such that in the younger age-group (< =50 years) high NLR group had two folds increased risk for AF event compared with low NLR group (95% confidence interval 1.08 to 3.51; p=0.027) whereas among older subjects the rate of events was similar between both NLR groups (p=NS; p for interaction=0.024). In conclusion, our findings suggest that high NLR is associated with increased risk of new onset AF. This finding is more pronounced among young adults. Copyright © 2018.

MSY is 1.5 times more common in Hispanic women compared with non-Hispanic women. Although exercise mitigates MSY in BCS, to the best of the authors' knowledge, few studies to date have focused on minorities. This secondary analysis examined ethnicity as a moderator of the effects of a 16-week aerobic and resistance exercise intervention on MSY, sarcopenic obesity, and serum biomarkers in BCS. + + METHODS: A total of 100 eligible BCS were randomized to exercise (50 BCS) or usual care (50 BCS). The exercise intervention promoted moderate to vigorous aerobic and resistance exercise 3 times a week for 16 weeks. MSY z scores, sarcopenic obesity, and serum biomarkers were measured at baseline, after the intervention, and at the 28-week follow-up (exercise group only). Linear mixed models adjusted for baseline values of the outcome, age, disease stage, adjuvant treatment, and recent physical activity were used to evaluate effect modification by ethnicity. + + RESULTS: The study sample was 57% Hispanic BCS (HBCS) and 43% non-Hispanic BCS (NHBCS). HBCS were younger, of greater adiposity, and had been diagnosed with more advanced cancers compared with NHBCS (P<.001). Ethnicity was found to moderate the mean differences in exercise training on triglycerides (-36.4 mg/dL; 95% confidence interval [95% CI],-64.1 to -18.8 mg/dL), glucose (-8.6 mg/dL; 95% CI, -19.1 to -3.0 mg/dL), and C-reactive protein (-3.3 mg/L; 95% CI, -7.3 to -0.9 mg/L). + + CONCLUSIONS: HBCS appear to have poorer metabolic profiles and therefore may derive relatively larger metabolic changes from exercise compared with NHBCS. Clinical exercise interventions may attenuate existing health disparities across diverse groups of BCS.

We have recently reported, through use of in vitro (HepG2 cells) and in vivo (SHBG-C57BL/ksJ-db/db mice) models, that SHBG could play a role in arresting the progression of NAFLD by downregulating lipogenesis. + + OBJECTIVE: The main aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms by which SHBG prevents hepatic lipogenesis by examining the relationship between SHBG and a key lipogenic enzyme, such as acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) in the liver of obese persons. + + PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: SHBG and ACC mRNA levels, as well as triglyceride content, were analyzed in 41 liver samples from nondiabetic obese patients with NAFLD who had undergone bariatric surgery. We also studied the effect of SHBG overexpression in HepG2 cells cultured under high-glucose conditions. + + RESULTS: SHBG mRNA and protein levels were lower in patients with metabolic syndrome than in those without metabolic syndrome; however, these differences were significant only for mRNA level. SHBG mRNA levels correlated positively with SHBG protein levels and hepatic triglyceride content. In addition, SHBG mRNA and protein levels correlated negatively with ACC mRNA levels and triglyceride content. Furthermore, SHBG overexpression abrogated the increase in ACC expression induced by high-glucose treatment in HepG2 cells. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that SHBG plays a role in regulating hepatic lipogenesis by reducing ACC levels. These results suggest a strategy for the treatment of NAFLD.

Since that time, extensive research on the mechanisms of insulin activity and action has continued. Currently, it is known that the role of insulin is much greater than simply regulating carbohydrate metabolism. Insulin in physiological concentration is also necessary to maintain normal vascular function. Insulin resistance is defined as a pathological condition characterized by reduced sensitivity of skeletal muscles, liver, and adipose tissue, to insulin and its downstream metabolic effects under normal serum glucose concentrations. There are also selective forms of insulin resistance with unique features, including vascular insulin resistance. Insulin resistance, both classical and vascular, contributes to vascular impairment resulting in increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, in the elderly population, additional factors including redistribution of fat concentrations, low-grade inflammation, and decreased self-repair capacity [or cell senescence] amplify the vascular abnormalities related to insulin resistance.

Assessing how chronic inflammation present in obesity changes the values of peri-operative biological tests could facilitate a clearer interpretation of laboratory examinations for the proper management of possible complications. + + METHODS: This descriptive study compared biological and clinical factors during the peri-operative period in patients undergoing total hip/knee replacement, in order to identify the special characteristics of the inflammatory status in obese compared to normal weight patients. In the two groups (71 normoponderal, 74 obese), serum levels of fibrinogen, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were determined 24 hours pre- and post-operatively. + + RESULTS: Our results found significant post-operative increases in serum levels of IL-6 and hsCRP in both groups (p = 0.0001), with inter-group differences in pre-operative hsCRP (p = 0.02) and post-operative IL-6 levels (p = 0.013). Interestingly, TNF-alpha levels were much higher in the obese pre-operatively than post-operatively (p = 0.002) and higher than the normoponderals (p = 0.003), decreasing to levels similar to those of the normal weight patients on day two. + + CONCLUSIONS: Because of its important clinical implications, an appropriate comprehension of the peri-operative changes in a patient's inflammatory status has the potential to influence therapeutic attitude. We failed to observe any significant post-operative differences in the mean values of the markers assessed, except those of IL-6, implying that serum levels of fibrinogen, hsCRP and TNF-alpha within 24 hours after large joint replacements are not influenced by the patient's ponderal status. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). 9001-32-5 (Fibrinogen). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

It is a complex disease that is generally accompanied by insulin resistance, increases in oxidative stress and inflammation biomarkers, and potentially, microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation. Polyphenols may act on obesity and its metabolic consequences. Circulating miRNAs have been studied as potential biomarkers for inflammatory and metabolic diseases, and their use may improve the diagnostic tools currently available and the ability to diagnose specific diseases. To our knowledge, data regarding the link between the consumption of polyphenols from food sources, miRNA expression, and inflammation biomarkers related to obesity is scarce, and most data available describing this relationship are found in cancer studies. This review focuses on the polyphenols that modulate the metabolism, inflammation, or both related to obesity to understand the extent to which miRNA expression can be modulated by dietary interventions.

Serological markers to detect associated subclinical atherosclerosis in psoriatic patients are needed. We aimed to study serum endocan levels in psoriasis vulgaris and its relation to severity of psoriasis, systemic inflammation, associated atherosclerosis, obesity, and the possible factors affecting its level in psoriatic patients. + + METHODS: This study was conducted on 30 moderate-severe psoriasis vulgaris patients and 30 healthy controls. Body mass index, body fat percent, and PASI assessments were done. Serum endocan and tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels were measured by ELISA. Carotid artery intima-media thickness measurement by high-resolution ultrasound was performed. + + RESULTS: Psoriasis patients showed significantly higher serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha and endocan levels (P1 = 0.008, P2 = 0.003). Additionally, there was a statistically significant difference between mean carotid artery intima-media thickness of both groups (P = 0.005). Serum endocan levels positively correlated with PASI score (P = 0.002), tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels (P < 0.001), mean carotid artery intima-media thickness (P = 0.001), and body mass index (P < 0.001) in the patients group. Additionally, the age of onset of disease negatively correlated with serum endocan (P = 0.003). + + CONCLUSION: Serum endocan is a promising marker of severity of psoriasis and associated atherosclerosis. Early onset psoriasis is associated with higher serum endocan levels. Body mass index is positively correlated with serum endocan levels. The positive correlation of endocan and tumor necrosis factor-alpha supports the regulatory effect of the cytokine on endocan production and suggests the role of endocan as an inflammatory marker.

The aim of this study was to assess BC parameters, including bone mineral density (BMD), and to find new biomarkers that can be early indicators for weight loss in patients with HD. + + METHODS: Twenty-one age- and sex-matched patients with HD and 29 healthy controls (CT) were enrolled. For each patient, body weight (BW), height, and body mass index (BMI) were evaluated. BC and BMD were measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Subsamples were created according to sex and percent fat mass (FM) (obese and nonobese). All analyses were carried out using SPSS version 23. + + RESULTS: In all comparisons, BMD and T-score were lower in the HD group, but were not correlated with lean body mass (LBM) or FM. In the HD group, LBM and truncal fat were mostly reduced, except in women with HD whose BC appeared to be less affected by the disease than men. Furthermore, LBM (r=0.80) and truncal fat (r=0.68) were better correlated with BW than BMI (r=0.56). + + CONCLUSION: Complete BC assessment can be crucial for preventive interventions and prognosis definition in patients with HD. New biomarkers such as BMD, LBM, and truncal fat can be early indicators of weight loss in patients with HD. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

Hence, the present study was conducted to evaluate the correlation between plasma ghrelin levels and gestational weight gain in overweight and normal women. + + METHODS: This prospective cohort study was conducted in 27 overweight and 18 normal body mass index (BMI) pregnant women referring to Tehran health care centers. Weight gain during all trimesters of pregnancy was measured and the blood samples were collected at 8-12 (first trimester) and 16-20 weeks (second trimester) of pregnancy. The plasma total ghrelin concentration was measured by ELISA method. + + RESULTS: The overweight pregnant women exhibited significantly lower weight gain at the second (p = 0.002), third trimesters (p = 0.005) as well as total weighing during pregnancy (p = 0.001) compared to the normal BMI pregnant women. There was no significant difference in plasma ghrelin levels between the groups from the first to the second trimesters of pregnancy (p > 0.05). Moreover, no correlation was found between ghrelin levels and gestational weight gain in the overweight and normal groups. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the increased level of serum ghrelin could not be considered as a key mediator for weight gain difference during pregnancy of overweight women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Ghrelin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs40618-018-0986-x +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Tehranian&issn=0391-4097&title=Journal+of+Endocrinological+Investigation&atitle=Association+of+serum+ghrelin+with+weight+gain+during+pregnancy+in+overweight+and+normal+women.&volume=42&issue=7&spage=809&epage=813&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs40618-018-0986-x&pmid=30465249&sid=OVID:medline + +<1858> +Unique Identifier + 30456540 +Title + Sex difference in the association of body mass index and BDNF levels in Chinese patients with chronic schizophrenia. +Source + Psychopharmacology. 236(2):753-762, 2019 Feb. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Yang F; Wang K; Du X; Deng H; Wu HE; Yin G; Ning Y; Huang X; Teixeira AL; de Quevedo J; Soares JC; Li X; Lang X; Zhang XY +Authors Full Name + Yang, Fang; Wang, Keming; Du, Xiangdong; Deng, Huiqiong; Wu, Hanjing Emily; Yin, Guangzhong; Ning, Yuping; Huang, Xingbing; Teixeira, Antonio L; de Quevedo, Joao; Soares, Jair C; Li, Xiaosi; Lang, XiaoE; Zhang, Xiang Yang. +Institution + Yang, Fang.

Decreased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels have been reported to be associated with high body weight or obesity as well as other psychopathological aspects in schizophrenia patients. This study aimed to explore sex differences in the relationship between serum BDNF levels and obesity in patients with chronic schizophrenia. + + METHODS: We recruited 132 Chinese patients with chronic schizophrenia (98 males and 34 females) and compared sex differences in the body mass index (BMI), obesity, serum BDNF levels, and their associations. Psychopathology symptoms were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). A regression model with various demographic and clinical variables was applied to predict the serum levels of BDNF. + + RESULTS: Female patients had a higher rate of obesity and higher BMI, but lower BDNF levels than male schizophrenia patients. A significantly negative correlation was observed between BMI and BDNF levels only in female patients but not in male patients. The multiple regression model with demographic and clinical variables significantly predicted BDNF levels only in female patients, with a medium size effect. And only in female patients, BMI made a significant contribution to this prediction. + + CONCLUSION: Our results indicate significant sex differences in the obesity, BMI, BDNF levels, and their association in chronic patients with schizophrenia, showing a significant inverse correlation between BMI and BDNF levels only in female patients. Thus, sex needs to be considered when assessing the relationship between BDNF and metabolic syndromes in schizophrenia. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antipsychotic Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). 7171WSG8A2 (BDNF protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs00213-018-5107-1 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Yang&issn=0033-3158&title=Psychopharmacology&atitle=Sex+difference+in+the+association+of+body+mass+index+and+BDNF+levels+in+Chinese+patients+with+chronic+schizophrenia.&volume=236&issue=2&spage=753&epage=762&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs00213-018-5107-1&pmid=30456540&sid=OVID:medline + +<1859> +Unique Identifier + 30450618 +Title + Key pathway and gene alterations in the gastric mucosa associated with obesity and obesity-related diabetes. +Source + Journal of Cellular Biochemistry. 120(4):6763-6771, 2019 04. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Wen X; Qian C; Zhang Y; Wu R; Lu L; Zhu C; Cheng X; Cui R; You H; Mei F; Gao J; Li F; Bu L; Qu S +Author NameID + Wen, Xin; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7017-9841 +Authors Full Name + Wen, Xin; Qian, Chunhua; Zhang, Yi; Wu, Ruijin; Lu, Liesheng; Zhu, Cuiling; Cheng, Xiaoyun; Cui, Rai; You, Hui; Mei, Fangyun; Gao, Jingyang; Li, Feng; Bu, Le; Qu, Shen. +Institution + Wen, Xin.

Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were used to predict the functional significance of differentially expressed genes. + + RESULTS: In total, 262 genes were upregulated and 265 genes were downregulated in the OB group whereas 1756 genes were upregulated and 1053 genes were downregulated in the OD group compared with the CON group. Of these, 23 were co-regulated in both comparisons. Seven differentially expressed genes were validated by RT-PCR (NRIP3, L1CAM, TPO, P2RY1, OR8A1, ADAMTS19, and ASIC3). A functional analysis revealed that genes differentially expressed between the OB or OD and CON groups played crucial roles in metabolic, T cell, and G-protein coupled receptor biological processes, and primarily participated in the PI3K-Akt and AGE-RAGE signaling pathways. + + CONCLUSIONS: Obesity and obesity-related diabetes are associated with important gene expression and pathway alterations in the stomach.

The predictive factors in this association are not yet well defined. Objetive: to study the predictive factors of dysglucosis in the postpartum period in a sample of patients with GD. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 1765 women with DG were studied. Variables analyzed: anthropometric data and maternal history. Glycemia in OGTT with 100g (basal: 1, 2 and 3h) and HbA1c. Use of insulin in pregnancy. The OGTT with 75g and HbA1c at 3 months after delivery. + + RESULTS: Postpartum DM prevalence 2.1%. Among these patients, there was a higher percentage of patients with a history of GD (25.9 vs. 12.9%; P<.05), pre-pregnancy obesity (20.8 vs. 14.9%; P<.05) and insulin use during pregnancy (79.2 vs. 20%; P<.01). In the OGTT with 100g, the number of pathological points was higher (3.18+/-0.69 in DM vs. 2.3+/-0.28 normal, 2.6+/-0.47 IFG, 2.5+/-0.32 IGT; P<.001). In the OGTT 100g, the blood glucose level above which the diagnosis of postpartum DM is most likely is 189mg/dl in the 2h determination (S: 86.2%, E: 72%). A level of HbA1c>5.9% during pregnancy has a specificity of 95.9% for the diagnosis of postpartum DM in our sample. + + CONCLUSION: We show factors associated with the diagnosis of postpartum DM, among which are quantitative determinations such as glycemia at 2h of the OGTT with 100g and HbA1c during pregnancy in patients with DG.

However, recent evidence suggests that obesity-induced dyslipidemia is not a unique pathophysiological entity, but rather has distinct characteristics depending on many individual factors. In line with that, in a subgroup of metabolically healthy obese (MHO) individuals, dyslipidemia is less prominent or even absent. In this review, we will address the main characteristics of dyslipidemia and mechanisms that induce its development in obesity. The fields, which should be further investigated to expand our knowledge on obesity-related dyslipidemia and potentially yield new strategies for prevention and management of cardiometabolic risk, will be highlighted. Also, we will discuss recent findings on novel lipid biomarkers in obesity, in particular proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), as the key molecule that regulates metabolism of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), as one of the most important mediators of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles function. Special attention will be given to microRNAs and their potential use as biomarkers of obesity-associated dyslipidemia. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

We analyzed the metabolic and bone profile in postmenopausal women with and without type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Clinical, metabolic, hormonal parameters, along with lumbar, hip and femoral bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) were evaluated. + + RESULTS: 56 women with T2DM(63.57+/-8.97 years) and 83 non-T2DM (60.21+/-8.77 years) were included. T2DM patients presented a higher value of body mass index (BMI) and BMD vs. control group (p = 0.001; p = 0.03-lumbar level, p = 0.07-femoral neck and p = 0.001-total hip). Also, BMI correlated positively with lumbar-BMD and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (r = 0.348, p = 0.01; r = 0.269, p = 0.04), correlation maintained even after age and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) adjustment (r = 0.383, p = 0.005; r = 0.237, p = 0.08). Diabetic patients recorded lower levels of 25(OH)D(p = 0.05), bone markers (p <= 0.05) and TBS(p = 0.07). For the entire patient group we found a negative correlation between HbA1c level and bone markers: r = -0.358, p = 0.0005-osteocalcin, r = -0.40, p = 0.0005-P1NP, r = -0.258, p = 0.005-crosslaps. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate the presence of altered bone microarchitecture in T2DZ patients according to the TBS score, combined with lower levels of bone markers, with a statistically significant negative correlation between HbA1c level and bone markers. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (Procollagen). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). 0 (procollagen Type I N-terminal peptide). 104982-03-8 (Osteocalcin). 21343-40-8 (25-Hydroxyvitamin D 2). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.2478%2frjim-2018-0036 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Dumitru&issn=1220-4749&title=Romanian+Journal+of+Internal+Medicine&atitle=Metabolic+and+bone+profile+in+postmenopausal+women+with+and+without+type+2+diabetes%3A+a+cross-sectional+study.&volume=57&issue=1&spage=61&epage=67&date=2019&doi=10.2478%2Frjim-2018-0036&pmid=30447149&sid=OVID:medline + +<1863> +Unique Identifier + 30419221 +Title + Exosomes in inflammation and role as biomarkers.

They are considered vehicles through which donor cells transfer proteins, lipids and nucleic acids to target cells thus influencing their metabolism. Exosomes are involved in inflammatory processes that play a pivotal role in a large number of pathologic states including cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases, type 2 diabetes, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis and neurodegenerative diseases. The association between inflammation and change in nature or expression level of some exosomal cargos is the fundamental step for identifying possible novel biomarkers of inflammatory-based diseases. A novel interesting exosome cargo is the SLC22A5 transport protein whose level in exosomes is regulated by the pro-inflammatory cytokine INF-gamma. The advantage of using exosomes as a biomarker vehicle consists of their ease of collection from body fluids such as urine and saliva as they may represent a non-invasive means for screening human pathology.

Premeal and postmeal hormones (insulin, peptide YY, glucagon-like peptide-1, active ghrelin) were measured. + + RESULTS: In response to a meal, average brain activation by high-calorie food cues vs objects in a priori regions was reduced after meals in children of HW (Z = -3.5, P < 0.0001), but not in children with OB (z = 0.28, P = 0.78) despite appropriate meal responses by gut hormones. Although premeal average brain activation by high-calorie food cues was lower in children with OB vs children of HW, postmeal activation was higher in children with OB (Z = -2.1, P = 0.04 and Z = 2.3, P = 0.02, respectively). An attenuated central response to a meal was associated with greater degree of insulin resistance. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that children with OB exhibit an attenuated central, as opposed to gut hormone, response to a meal, which may predispose them to overconsumption of food or difficulty with weight loss.

The aim of this study was to compare the properties of abdominal obesity in different BMI categories of patients on MHD. + + METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional study of 188 MHD patients (52.7% women; mean age, 69.4 +/- 11.5 y) with abdominal obesity in different BMI groups using criteria from the World Health Organization. Appetite and dietary intake, body composition, handgrip strength, malnutrition inflammation score (MIS), inflammatory biomarkers, adipokines, and health-related quality-of-life (QoL) questionnaires were studied. + + RESULTS: According to multivariable analyses, abdominally obese patients with normal BMIs consumed less protein per day (P=0.04); had lower measurements of surrogates of lean (P < 0.001) and fat mass (P < 0.001); and had higher total cholesterol, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (P < 0.05), and ratios of adiponectin to leptin (P=0.003) than overweight and obese patients with abdominal obesity. Multivariable analyses showed no differences in handgrip strength among the study groups. The abdominally obese study participants with normal weight had significantly lower scores in role physical (P=0.003) and pain (P=0.04) scales after multivariable adjustments. + + CONCLUSIONS: Normal-weight MHD patients with abdominal obesity exhibited a more proatherogenic profile in terms of inflammatory markers and adipokine expression, lower body composition reserves, and lower physical ability than patients with abdominal obesity with overweight and obesity. This at least partially explains the abdominal obesity paradox in the MHD population in which worse clinical outcomes are seen in abdominally obese patients with normal BMIs, as opposed to overweight and obese patients who are also abdominally obese.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential usefulness of transient elastography (TE), which is a technique that allows measuring both fibrosis and liver fat content simultaneously, as a screening tool for hepatic involvement in Turkish patients with T2DM. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: We obtained liver stiffness measurements (LSMs, as a measure of fibrosis) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP, as a marker of steatosis) in 124 (46 males and 78 females; mean body mass index (BMI): 33.2+/-6.6 kg/m2) Turkish patients with T2DM. The prevalence rates of overweight, obesity, and metabolic syndrome in our sample were 28.2%, 64.5%, and 77.4%, respectively. Probe-specific LSM cut-off values were used to define advanced fibrosis (>F3) and cirrhosis (F4) (M probe: F3=9.6-11.4 kPa, F4 >11.5 kPa and XL probe: F3=9.3-10.9 kPa, F4 >11.0 kPa). Mild, moderate, and severe steatosis were defined as CAP 222-232 dB/m, CAP 233-289 dB/m, and CAP >290 dB/m, respectively. + + RESULTS: Advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis were identified in 21 (16.9%) and 10 (8.0%) patients, respectively. TE-defined hepatic steatosis (CAP>222 dB/m) was detected in 117 (94.3%) patients. Mild, moderate, and severe steatosis were identified in 0, 29, and 88 patients, respectively. + + CONCLUSION: TE is a useful non-invasive imaging modality to screen for liver involvement in Turkish patients with T2DM. High rates of TE-defined fibrosis and steatosis in our sample reflect the presence of an elevated mean BMI. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Evaluation Study.

Vasopressin is elevated in patients with CHF, and higher levels are associated with worsening severity of the disease. We aimed at evaluating the relationship between body mass index (BMI), obesity (BMI >=30kg/m2), and vasopressin in patients with CHF, as well as the prognostic implications of vasopressin across the full spectrum of BMI values. + + METHODS: We included 1132 consecutive CHF patients referred to a multidisciplinary CHF unit. BMI and vasopressin levels were measured at baseline, and their association was evaluated using multivariable linear and logistic regression models. Death was evaluated after a median follow-up of 2.93years and using Cox regression analyses. + + RESULTS: Mean age was 73years, 43% women, mean BMI 28kg/m2. Vasopressin levels were independently associated with all-cause death across the whole spectrum of BMI values, and were significantly lower in obese as compared to non-obese patients (median adjusted estimated levels of log-vasopressin in obese patients 2.57 [95% CI 1.5-3.67], in non-obese patients 3.16 [95% CI 2.11-4.23]; p<0.001). Also, the higher the BMI, the lower the vasopressin levels, at least for patients with BMI <35kg/m2. Subgroup analyses stratifying by left ventricle ejection fraction and sensitivity analyses further adjusting for norepinephrin levels yielded similar findings. + + CONCLUSIONS: Reduced levels of vasopressin may represent an independent mechanism in the survival paradox in obese patients with CHF. Studies including larger samples of patients BMI >=35kg/m2 are needed. Copyright © 2018.

The current review provides an update on the emerging biomedical interest for kynurenine pathway activity in the field of energy homeostasis and metabolic diseases. + + RECENT FINDINGS: Kynurenine pathway enzymes are expressed in tissues relevant for energy homeostasis such as fat, skeletal muscle, liver and endocrine pancreas, blood vessel and heart, and are regulated by nutritional and inflammatory signals. Kynurenine pathway metabolites have been proposed as biomarkers for initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and diabetes. Exercise training activation of kynurenine pathway in skeletal muscles increases lipid metabolism and thermogenesis, and it limits weight gain, inflammation, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance in rodents fed a high-fat diet. Manipulation of kynurenine pathway metabolism through administration of enzyme inhibitors or kynurenine pathway metabolites can serve as novel therapeutic strategy for atherosclerosis, obesity, glucose intolerance, or impaired insulin secretion. + + SUMMARY: Although we are far from a complete understanding of the role of kynurenine pathway in the modulation of energy homeostasis, targeting kynurenine pathway harbors high potential to expand the range of therapies to prevent and treat metabolic diseases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 343-65-7 (Kynurenine). 8DUH1N11BX (Tryptophan). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Moreover, we wanted to study the impact of these clinical parameters in the disease pathogenesis. Forty-eight total patients were recruited. Sixteen had at least one successfully osteointegrated dental implant (group A) and 32 had at least one osseointegrated implant in need of a peri-implant treatment for inflammatory/infectiveous reasons: precisely 16 for mucositis (group B) and 16 for peri-implantitis (group C). VEGF, CD34, and CD44 immunohistochemical expression was evaluated in the interproximal biopsies of marginal peri-implant tissue and correlated with the clinical parameters. A significant difference between groups in mean PPD was found, while the distribution by age, gender, smoking, and BMI resulted similar. Group C had significantly higher levels of VEGF, CD34, and CD44 expression compared to the other groups. VEGF, CD34, CD44, and peri-implant pocket depth were all positively correlated. Our study revealed that peri-implantitis is a condition characterized by unique and distinctive features. Our results supported that PPD has a great impact on the peri-implantitis and it is closely related to the inflammation marker expression. The identification of specific biomarkers might help in choosing distinct treatment approaches for target individuals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (CD44 protein, human). 0 (Hyaluronan Receptors). 0 (VEGFA protein, human). 0 (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs10753-018-0926-0 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Lucarini&issn=0360-3997&title=Inflammation&atitle=VEGF%2C+Microvessel+Density%2C+and+CD44+as+Inflammation+Markers+in+Peri-implant+Healthy+Mucosa%2C+Peri-implant+Mucositis%2C+and+Peri-implantitis%3A+Impact+of+Age%2C+Smoking%2C+PPD%2C+and+Obesity.&volume=42&issue=2&spage=682&epage=689&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs10753-018-0926-0&pmid=30406462&sid=OVID:medline + +<1872> +Unique Identifier + 30398036 +Title + Serum R-Spondin 1 Is a New Surrogate Marker for Obesity and Insulin Resistance. +Source + Diabetes & Metabolism Journal. 43(3):368-376, 2019 06. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kang YE; Kim JM; Yi HS; Joung KH; Lee JH; Kim HJ; Ku BJ +Author NameID + Kang, Yea Eun; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2012-3716 + Kim, Hyun Jin; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6760-4963 + Ku, Bon Jeong; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3414-8949 +Authors Full Name + Kang, Yea Eun; Kim, Ji Min; Yi, Hyon Seung; Joung, Kyong Hye; Lee, Ju Hee; Kim, Hyun Jin; Ku, Bon Jeong. +Institution + Kang, Yea Eun.

Serum levels of RSPO1 were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The relationships between circulating RSPO1 and diverse metabolic parameters were analyzed. + + RESULTS: Circulating RSPO1 levels increased to a greater extent in the obese group than in the lean group. Moreover, serum levels of RSPO1 were higher in the insulin-resistant group than in the insulin-sensitive group. Serum levels of RSPO1 were significantly correlated with a range of metabolic parameters including body mass index, fasting C-peptide, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index, and lipid profile. Moreover, levels were significantly associated with insulin resistance and obesity in non-diabetic subjects. + + CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated the association between serum levels of RSPO1 and a range of metabolic parameters in humans. Serum levels of RSPO1 are significantly related to obesity and insulin resistance, although the precise mechanisms remain unknown.

Obese asthma is associated with variability in the expression of inflammatory markers, lung function impairments, and response to conventional and biologic therapies. In addition, traditional asthma biomarkers are not as reliable in obese patients. Several mechanistic pathways that uniquely impact asthma in obesity have been identified. Pathways involving innate lymphoid cells (ILC) type 2 (ILC-2) cells, surfactant protein-A, cell division control protein (CDC)42, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17, and IL-33 are likely causal inflammatory pathways. Obesity also confounds lung function parameters making accurate diagnosis more challenging. As such, personalized asthma therapies directed towards obese asthma endotypes remain elusive. + + SUMMARY: Obesity confounds traditional asthma biomarkers and lung function measurements, thus defining obese asthma endotypes remains challenging. Novel pathways are being identified and hold promise for future targeted therapies. However, we are in dire need of updated guidelines regarding asthma diagnosis in obese patients and the development of biomarkers that more accurately identify specific endotypes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Plasma samples from age-matched lean volunteers (n = 80) were used as controls. Total RNA was extracted from the plasma samples and subjected to NanoString analysis of 822 miRNAs. The expression level of candidate miRNAs was validated in all participants using quantitative real-time PCR analysis. + + RESULTS: NanoString analysis identified substantial dysregulation of 21 miRNAs in women who are obese that were associated with impaired glucose tolerance, senescence, cardiac hypertrophy, angiogenesis, inflammation, and cell death. Acute weight loss reversed the expression pattern of 18 of these miRNAs toward those seen in the lean control group. Furthermore, real-time PCR validation of all the samples for 13 miRNAs with at least twofold upregulation or downregulation confirmed substantial dysregulation of all the chosen miRNAs in women who are obese at baseline. After acute weight loss, the levels of seven miRNAs in women who are obese and who are lean were comparable, with no statistically significant evidence for differences between the two groups. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our study has provided evidence that the circulating miRNAs associated with various disorders are dysregulated in women who are obese. We also found that seven of these miRNAs showed levels comparable to those in lean controls after acute weight loss in women who are obese.

Insight into the capability of zebrafish to model metabolic disease like obesity and type II diabetes has increased and new evidence on the induction of vascular pathologies in zebrafish through metabolic disease is available. Here, we raise the question, if zebrafish can be utilized to study the initial impairments of vascular complications in metabolic disorders. In this review, we focus on the advances made to develop models of obesity and type II diabetes in zebrafish, discuss the key points and characteristics of these models, while highlighting the available information linked to the development of endothelial dysfunction in zebrafish and man. We show that larval and adult zebrafish develop metabolic dysregulation in the settings of obesity and diabetes, exhibiting pathophysiological mechanisms, which mimic the human condition. The most important genes related to endothelial dysfunction are present in zebrafish and further display similar functions as in mammals. Several suggested contributors to endothelial dysfunction found in these models, namely hyperinsulinaemia, hyperglycaemia, hyperlipidaemia and hyperleptinaemia are highlighted and the available data from zebrafish are summarised. Many underlying processes of endothelial dysfunction in obesity and diabetes are fundamentally present in zebrafish and provide ground for the assumption, that zebrafish can develop endothelial dysfunction. Conservation of basic biological mechanisms is established for zebrafish, but focused investigation on the subject is now needed as validation and particularly more research is necessary to understand the differences between zebrafish and man. The available data demonstrate the relevance of zebrafish as a model for metabolic disease and their ability to become a proponent for the investigation of vascular damage in the settings of obesity and diabetes.

Dietary patterns (DP) were identified using principal component analysis, multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of obesity risk by quartiles of EAA intakes was estimated using logistic regression with two-sided P < 0.05. Multivariable-adjusted OR and 95% CI for obesity risk were 1.00, 0.801 (0.573, 1.119), 0.718 (0.504, 1.024) and 0.532 (0.353, 0.803) P-trend = 0.003 across energy-adjusted quartiles of total AA intakes. Similarly, higher DI of 13 AA; isoleucine, leucine, valine, lysine, cysteine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, threonine, histidine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline, and serine were associated with lower risk of obesity. Furthermore, six DP; 'Wheaten food and Rice', 'Fruit, Vegetables and Milk', 'Snack, Beverage and Ice cream', 'Potatoes, Soybean & Egg', 'Livestock & Poultry meat' and 'Fish' were identified. Multivariable-adjusted OR and 95% CI across quartiles of DP adherence for obesity risk were 1.00, 0.737 (0.535, 1.017), 0.563 (0.406, 0.779), 0.724 (0.518, 1.011) P-trend = 0.018 for 'Fruit, Vegetables and Milk', 1.00, 0.734 (0.531, 1.013), 0.841(0.609, 1.161), 0.657 (0.478, 0.904) P-trend = 0.027 for 'Potatoes, Soybean & Egg' and 1.00, 1.106 (0.791, 1.548), 1.367(0.975, 1.917), 1.953 (1.399, 2.726) P-trend = 0.000 for 'Fish'. Additionally, lower adherence to 'Snack, Beverage and Ice cream' and 'Fish' patterns is associated with a protective higher AA intake-obesity risk relationship. Energy-adjusted AA intakes were inversely associated with obesity risk, but the associations appear modifiable by DP adherence of respondents. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs00726-018-2672-x +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Okekunle&issn=0939-4451&title=Amino+Acids&atitle=Higher+intakes+of+energy-adjusted+dietary+amino+acids+are+inversely+associated+with+obesity+risk.&volume=51&issue=3&spage=373&epage=382&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs00726-018-2672-x&pmid=30377838&sid=OVID:medline + +<1877> +Unique Identifier + 30369264 +Title + Global DNA methylation profiling in peripheral blood cells of South African women with gestational diabetes mellitus. +Source + Biomarkers. 24(3):225-231, 2019 May. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Dias S; Adam S; Van Wyk N; Rheeder P; Louw J; Pheiffer C +Authors Full Name + Dias, Stephanie; Adam, Sumaiya; Van Wyk, Nastasja; Rheeder, Paul; Louw, Johan; Pheiffer, Carmen. +Institution + Dias, Stephanie. a South African Medical Research Council, Biomedical Research and Innovation Platform (BRIP), Tygerberg, South Africa. + Dias, Stephanie. b Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa. + Adam, Sumaiya. b Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa. + Van Wyk, Nastasja. a South African Medical Research Council, Biomedical Research and Innovation Platform (BRIP), Tygerberg, South Africa. + Rheeder, Paul. c Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa. + Louw, Johan. a South African Medical Research Council, Biomedical Research and Innovation Platform (BRIP), Tygerberg, South Africa. + Louw, Johan. d Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, University of Zululand, Kwa-Dlangezwa, South Africa. + Pheiffer, Carmen. a South African Medical Research Council, Biomedical Research and Innovation Platform (BRIP), Tygerberg, South Africa. + Pheiffer, Carmen. e Division of Medical Physiology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University, Tygerberg, South Africa. +MeSH Subject Headings + Adult + *Biomarkers/bl [Blood] + Black People/ge [Genetics] + Blood Cells + *DNA Methylation/ge [Genetics] + Diabetes, Gestational/bl [Blood] + *Diabetes, Gestational/ge [Genetics] + Diabetes, Gestational/pa [Pathology] + Female + Humans + Insulin/bl [Blood] + Obesity/bl [Blood] + *Obesity/ge [Genetics] + Obesity/pa [Pathology] + Pregnancy + South Africa +Keyword Heading + Gestational diabetes mellitus + South Africa + biomarker + global DNA methylation + obesity + peripheral blood cells +Keyword Heading Owner + NOTNLM +Abstract + Background/Objective: Recently, several studies have reported that DNA methylation changes in tissue are reflected in blood, sparking interest in the potential use of global DNA methylation as a biomarker for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study investigated whether global DNA methylation is associated with GDM in South African women. Methods: Global DNA methylation was quantified in peripheral blood cells of women with (n = 63) or without (n = 138) GDM using the MDQ1 Imprint R DNA Quantification Kit. Results: Global DNA methylation levels were not different between women with or without GDM and were not associated with fasting glucose or insulin concentrations. However, levels were 18% (p = 0.012) higher in obese compared to non-obese pregnant women and inversely correlated with serum adiponectin concentrations (p = 0.005). Discussion: Contrary to our hypothesis, global DNA methylation was not associated with GDM in our population. These preliminary findings suggest that despite being a robust marker of overall genomic methylation that offers opportunities as a biomarker, global DNA methylation profiling may not offer the resolution required to detect methylation differences in the peripheral blood cells of women with GDM. Moreover, global DNA methylation in peripheral blood cells may not reflect changes in placental tissue. Further studies in a larger sample are required to explore the candidacy of a more targeted approach using gene-specific methylation as a biomarker for GDM in our population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Insulin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1080%2f1354750X.2018.1539770 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Dias&issn=1354-750X&title=Biomarkers&atitle=Global+DNA+methylation+profiling+in+peripheral+blood+cells+of+South+African+women+with+gestational+diabetes+mellitus.&volume=24&issue=3&spage=225&epage=231&date=2019&doi=10.1080%2F1354750X.2018.1539770&pmid=30369264&sid=OVID:medline + +<1878> +Unique Identifier + 30362228 +Title + Can obesity in a major depressive episode be considered as a biomarker for bipolar spectrum disorders?. +Source + Bipolar Disorders. 21(1):11-12, 2019 02. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Gao K +Author NameID + Gao, Keming; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1130-2461 +Authors Full Name + Gao, Keming. +Institution + Gao, Keming.

In GDM, whole-body insulin-dependent glucose disposal decreases by 40%-60% which necessitates a 200%-250% increase in insulin secretion to maintain normoglycaemia. GDM develops when a pregnant woman does not produce sufficient insulin to compensate for the reduced glucose disposal. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a hormone that is expressed predominantly in the liver, but also in other metabolically active tissues such as pancreas, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. In animals, FGF21 lowers blood glucose levels and inhibits glucagon secretion. In humans, circulating FGF21 levels are increased in insulin-resistant morbidities such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). An elevated FGF21 level is also an independent predictor of T2DM. GDM and T2DM are proposed to have similar underlying pathophysiologies, raising the question of whether a similar relationship exists between FGF21 and GDM as it does with T2DM. There are a limited number of studies investigating FGF21 levels in patients with GDM. Moreover, recent clinical trials investigating the therapeutic potential of FGF21 have highlighted a major gap in our understanding of the biology of FGF21. This review evaluates what is currently known about FGF21 and GDM and highlights important gaps that warrant further research.

In this preclinical study, we characterized how the palatable diet changed food intake pattern, caloric intake, metabolic profile and hormone levels. We also evaluated the expression of dopamine D2 receptors in the rat striatum. + + METHODS: Male Wistar rats were fed with either high-fat or high-sucrose diet for 5 weeks according to different feeding regimes: ad libitum access or scheduled for a 2-h period each day without caloric restriction during the remainder of the day. + + RESULTS: Both diets resulted in an enhancement in caloric intake and total body weight. Post-meal data showed that high-fat diet increased cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose concentrations. Animals fed on high sucrose diet were only hyperglycemic. High-fat diet schedules resulted in the enhancement of leptin concentrations, while increases in blood levels of ghrelin were noted after intermitted high-fat or continuous high-sucrose diet. Finally, we report that only ad libitum high-sucrose evoked a significant enhancement of the dopamine D2 receptor protein level and a reduction in the D2 mRNA and receptor affinity in the rat striatum. Independently of the diet type, a similar reduction in dopamine D2 receptor affinity (decrease in KD value) was found in the striatum of rats with intermittent food access. + + CONCLUSION: The findings provide a better understanding of eating disorders and indicate that diet composition leading to obesity induces distinct changes in dopamine D2 receptor signaling in the striatum.

AT CCL19 expression in obesity and its association with metabolic inflammation and insulin resistance are poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of CCL19 gene expression on inflammatory markers in subcutaneous AT and insulin resistance. + + METHODS: Subcutaneous adipose samples were collected from 56 non-diabetic (26-obese, 21-overweight, and 9-lean) individuals. Expression of CCL19 and inflammatory markers was determined using real-time RT-PCR. Plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) and adiponectin were measured by ELISA. Insulin sensitivity was assessed using homeostasis model assessment index (HOMA). + + RESULTS: CCL19 expression was significantly higher in obese compared with lean individuals (P < 0.034). The elevated expression of CCL19 associated positively with body mass index (r = 0.253; P = 0.049). CCL19 expression correlated positively with IL-8 (r = 0.39; P = 0.006), IL-12 (r = 0.43; P = 0.003), IP-10 (r = 0.25; P = 0.07), CCL5 (r = 0.37; P = 0.011), CCR2 (r = 0.44; P = 0.001), and CCR5 (r = 0.35; P = 0.009). Additionally, CCL19 was positively correlated with triglycerides (TG: r = 0.41; P = 0.001), fasting blood glucose (FBG: r = 0.49; P < 0.0001), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c: r = 0.396; P = 0.001), and CRP (r = 0.387; P = 0.019) whereas it had negative association with HDL cholesterol (r = -0.282; P = 0.035) and adiponectin (-0.393; P = 0.019). Notably, HOMA-IR correlated positively with CCL19 (r = 0.38; P = 0.01). In multiple regression analysis, CCL19 is an independent predictor of IL-8 and IL-12. + + CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate that increased AT expression of CCL19 in obesity may represent a molecular link between metabolic inflammation and insulin resistance.

We investigated associations between adiposity and biomarkers of inflammation and angiogenesis among patients with colorectal cancer. + + METHODS: Preoperative serum samples and computed tomography scans were obtained from 188 patients diagnosed with primary invasive stage I-IV colorectal cancer enrolled in the ColoCare Study. Adiposity was assessed by area-based quantification of VFA, SFA, and VFA:SFA ratio on spinal levels L3/L4 and L4/L5. Circulating levels of inflammation (CRP, SAA, sICAM-1, and sVCAM-1) and angiogenesis (VEGF-A and VEGF-D) were assessed from patient sera on the Meso Scale Discovery platform. Partial correlations and regression analyses, adjusted for age, sex, and tumor stage, were performed. + + RESULTS: VFA was moderately correlated with CRP and SAA (CRP: L3/L4 and L4/L5:r = 0.21, P = 0.01; SAA: L3/L4:r = 0.17, P = 0.04). The correlation between SFA and the measured biomarkers were weak (r <= 0.13, not significant). The ratio of VFA:SFA at L3/L4 was moderately correlated with VEGF-A (r = 0.28, P = 0.0008) and SAA (r = 0.24, P = 0.006), and less so with CRP (r = 0.18, P = 0.04) and sICAM-1 (r = 0.18, P = 0.04). Similar correlations were found for the VFA:SFA ratio at L4/L5. + + CONCLUSIONS: We observed an association between visceral adiposity and biomarkers of inflammation and angiogenesis in colorectal cancer. In particular, the VFA:SFA ratio was correlated with circulating levels of the proangiogenic biomarker VEGF-A. + + IMPACT: Our findings support a direct association of visceral adipose tissue with inflammatory and angiogenic processes, which play fundamental roles in the development and progression of colorectal cancer.

Male Swiss mice were subcutaneously injected daily, during the first 5 days after birth, with MSG (4 mg/g body weight [BW]) or saline (1.25 mg/g BW). At 90 days of age, MSG-obese mice were hyperglycemic, hyperinsulinemic, and hyperglucagonemic and had lost the capacity to increase their insulin/glucagon ratio when transitioning from the fasting to fed state, exacerbating hepatic glucose output. Furthermore, hepatic protein expressions of phosphorylated (p)-protein kinase A (PKA) and cAMP response element-binding protein (pCREB), and of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) enzyme were higher in fed MSG, before and after glucagon stimulation. Increased pPKA and phosphorylated hormone-sensitive lipase content were also observed in white fat of MSG. MSG islets hypersecreted glucagon in response to 11.1 and 0.5 mmol/L glucose, a phenomenon that persisted in the presence of insulin. Additionally, MSG alpha cells were hypertrophic displaying increased alpha-cell mass and immunoreactivity to phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (pmTOR) protein. Therefore, severe glucose intolerance in MSG-obese mice was associated with increased hepatic glucose output, in association with hyperglucagonemia, caused by the refractory actions of glucose and insulin in alpha cells and via an effect that may be due to enhanced mTOR activation.

Secondary outcomes were lipid profile, glycosylated hemoglobin, urea electrolytes and creatinine, liver function tests, full/complete blood count, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, quantitative insulin sensitivity check index, glucose area under the curve, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The trial was registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry (ACTRN12614000495628) and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (2014/0348), and was funded by Marinova Pty. Ltd. + + RESULTS: There were no differences in the 90-day outcome measures between placebo and active treatment in the intention-to-treat-analysis (n = 35 for active, n = 37 for placebo). The mean change in HOMA scores was 0 for the placebo and -0.1 for the active groups (p = 0.73). Self-reported adherence was high, consistent with capsule counting at the conclusion of the trial. + + CONCLUSIONS: Fucoidan taken twice daily for a period of 90 days did not markedly affect insulin resistance or other measured parameters of cardiometabolic health in an obese, nondiabetic cohort. This could be due to an intrinsic lack of efficacy, lower than measured adherence, or because longer therapy and/or higher baseline insulin resistance are required to exert a significant effect. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Polysaccharides). 9072-19-9 (fucoidan). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Our findings indicate that a single session of continuous moderate-intensity exercise, but not low-volume high-intensity interval exercise, performed 1 h after a meal attenuates the postprandial suppression of BRMs. + + INTRODUCTION: Acute exercise transiently increases BRMs including osteocalcin (tOC) and the undercarboxylated form of osteocalcin (ucOC), a hormone that is implicated in glucose regulation. The effects of acute exercise and exercise-intensity on postprandial levels of tOC and ucOC are unknown. + + METHODS: Twenty-seven adults that were overweight or obese (age 30 +/- 1 years; BMI 30 +/- 1 kg.m-2; mean +/- SEM) were randomly allocated to perform a single session of low-volume high-intensity interval exercise (LV-HIIE; nine females, five males) or continuous moderate-intensity exercise (CMIE; eightfemales, five males) 1 h after consumption of a standard breakfast. Serum tOC, ucOC, and ucOC/tOC were measured at baseline, 1 h, and 3 h after breakfast consumption on a rest day (no exercise) and the exercise day (exercise 1 h after breakfast). + + RESULTS: Compared to baseline, serum tOC and ucOC were suppressed 3 h after breakfast on the rest day (- 10 +/- 1% and - 6 +/- 2%, respectively; p < 0.05), whereas ucOC/tOC was elevated (2.5 +/- 1%; p = 0.08). Compared to the rest day, CMIE attenuated the postprandial-induced suppression of tOC (rest day - 10 +/- 2% versus CMIE - 5 +/- 2%, p < 0.05) and ucOC (rest day - 6 +/- 4% versus CMIE 11 +/- 2%, p < 0.05), and increased postprandial ucOC/tOC (rest day 3 +/- 2% versus CMIE 15 +/- 1%, p < 0.05). In contrast, LV-HIIE did not alter postprandial tOC, ucOC, or ucOC/tOC (all p > 0.1). + + CONCLUSIONS: Acute CMIE, but not LV-HIIE, attenuates the postprandial-induced suppression of tOC and ucOC. CMIE may be an effective tool to control the circulating levels of BRMs following meal consumption in overweight/obese adults. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). 104982-03-8 (Osteocalcin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Functional and structural changes in the kidney as consequence of obesity and metabolic syndrome may lead to impaired mineral metabolism in what is known as chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder. Lifestyle interventions such as physical activity are good strategies to manage these pathologies and therefore, prevent the loss of kidney functionality and related complications in mineral metabolism. In this study, we have used 40 male Zucker rats that were randomly allocated into four different experimental groups, two of them (an obese and a lean one) performed an aerobic interval training protocol, and the other two groups were sedentary. At the end of the experimental period (8 wk), urine, plasma, and femur were collected for biochemical and mineral composition analysis, whereas the kidney was processed for histological studies. The obese rats exhibited albuminuria, glomerulosclerosis, and hypertrophy in glomeruli and renal tubule in some areas, together with alterations in mineral content of plasma but not of femur. The training protocol prevented the generation of albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis, showing a significant action on plasma and bone mineral levels. Therefore, the specific training protocol used in this study was able to prevent the development of diabetic nephropathy and affected the metabolism of certain minerals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Minerals). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

To inform targeted screening and prevention strategies, we assessed the impact of obesity and subsequent bariatric surgery-induced weight loss on endometrial morphology and molecular pathways implicated in endometrial carcinogenesis. Blood and endometrial tissue were obtained from women with class III-IV obesity (body mass index >=40 and >=50 kg/m2 , respectively) immediately prior to gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, and at two and 12 months' follow up. The endometrium underwent pathological examination and immunohistochemistry was used to quantify proliferation (Ki-67), oncogenic signaling (PTEN, pAKT, pERK) and hormone receptor (ER, PR) expression status. Circulating biomarkers of insulin resistance, reproductive function and inflammation were also measured at each time point. Seventy-two women underwent bariatric surgery. At 12 months, the mean change in total and excess body weight was -32.7 and -62.8%, respectively. Baseline endometrial biopsies revealed neoplastic change in 10 women (14%): four had EC, six had atypical hyperplasia (AH). After bariatric surgery, most cases of AH resolved (5/6) without intervention (3/6) or with intrauterine progestin (2/6). Biomarkers of endometrial proliferation (Ki-67), oncogenic signaling (pAKT) and hormone receptor status (ER, PR) were significantly reduced, with restoration of glandular PTEN expression, at 2 and 12 months. There were reductions in circulating biomarkers of insulin resistance (HbA1c, HOMA-IR) and inflammation (hsCRP, IL-6), and increases in reproductive biomarkers (LH, FSH, SHBG). We found an unexpectedly high prevalence of occult neoplastic changes in the endometrium of women undergoing bariatric surgery. Their spontaneous reversal and accompanying down-regulation of PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling with weight loss may have implications for screening, prevention and treatment of this disease.

The objective of this study were to assess relationships among Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, intensive lifestyle modification and medical management protocol, fatty acid binding protein 4, and metabolic parameters in obese patients with severe type 2 diabetes mellitus; and to evaluate the relative contribution of abdominal subcutaneous adipose and visceral adipose to the secretion of fatty acid binding protein 4. + + METHODS: Participants were randomly assigned to intensive lifestyle modification and medical management protocol (n=29) or to intensive lifestyle modification and medical management protocol augmented with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (n=34). Relationships among fatty acid binding protein 4 and demographic characteristics, metabolic parameters, and 12-month changes in these values were examined. Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue explants from obese nondiabetic patients (n=5) were obtained and treated with forskolin to evaluate relative secretion of fatty acid binding protein 4 in the different adipose tissue depots. + + RESULTS: The intensive lifestyle modification and medical management protocol and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass cohorts had similar fasting serum fatty acid binding protein 4 concentrations at baseline. At 1 year, mean serum fatty acid binding protein 4 decreased by 42% in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass participants (P=.002) but did not change significantly in the intensive lifestyle modification and medical management protocol cohort. Percentage of weight change was not a significant predictor of 12-month fatty acid binding protein 4 within treatment arm or in multivariate models adjusted for treatment arm. In adipose tissue explants, fatty acid binding protein 4 was secreted similarly between visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue. + + CONCLUSION: After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, fatty acid binding protein 4 is reduced 12 months after surgery but not after intensive lifestyle modification and medical management protocol in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Fatty acid binding protein 4 was secreted similarly between subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue explants. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

Our aim was to assess the relation between hs-TnT elevation and MetS in a general population sample. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Individuals participating in an annual health survey program between 2010 and 2016 were included in the study. Blood samples including hs-TnT levels were collected. The study population was divided into three groups based on hs-TnT levels - undetectable (<5 ng/L), intermediate (5-14 ng/L) and elevated (>14 ng/L). + + RESULTS: A total of 5994 subjects were included in the study, the mean age was 48.5 and 4336 (72%) were males. Compared with subjects with undetectable hs-TnT the prevalence of MetS was higher in those with detectable and elevated levels - 392 (10%) vs. 270 (15%) and 51 (33%), respectively (p < 0.001). In a multivariate model adjusted for age, gender and multiple co-morbidities, the number of MetS components and presence of MetS were significantly associated with an increased risk for detectable hs-TnT levels (OR = 1.02 {for each component}; 95% CI [1.00-1.05], p = 0.04) and (OR = 1.13; 95% CI [1.07-1.2], p < 0.001) respectively. Only the waist, glucose and hypertension components of the MetS were significantly associated with elevated troponin. + + CONCLUSIONS: The MetS and its distinct components have a cumulative impact on hs-TnT levels in apparently healthy subjects. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Troponin T). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1080%2f1354750X.2018.1528630 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Milwidsky&issn=1354-750X&title=Biomarkers&atitle=Metabolic+syndrome+is+associated+to+high-sensitivity+cardiac+troponin+T+elevation.&volume=24&issue=2&spage=153&epage=158&date=2019&doi=10.1080%2F1354750X.2018.1528630&pmid=30280616&sid=OVID:medline + +<1890> +Unique Identifier + 30277921 +Title + Effect of high-intensity interval training on body composition and inflammatory markers in obese postmenopausal women: a randomized controlled trial. +Source + Menopause. 26(3):256-264, 2019 03. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Nunes PRP; Martins FM; Souza AP; Carneiro MAS; Orsatti CL; Michelin MA; Murta EFC; de Oliveira EP; Orsatti FL +Authors Full Name + Nunes, Paulo R P; Martins, Fernanda M; Souza, Aleteia P; Carneiro, Marcelo A S; Orsatti, Claudio L; Michelin, Marcia A; Murta, Eddie F C; de Oliveira, Erick P; Orsatti, Fabio L. +Institution + Nunes, Paulo R P.

Moreover, we tested whether change in visceral adiposity tissue is associated with alterations in these inflammatory markers. + + METHODS: Postmenopausal women were randomized in two groups: combined training (n = 13) and high-intensity interval training (n = 13). The combined training group performed 60 minutes of walking at 70% of maximum heart rate and resistance exercises at 70% of one repetition maximum. The high-intensity interval training group performed 28 minutes of high-intensity exercises (> 80% of maximum heart rate). Both groups trained three times a week for 12 weeks. Body composition and inflammatory markers were analyzed with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scanning and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. + + RESULTS: All groups reduced body fat percentage (P = 0.026), visceral adiposity tissue (P = 0.027), leptin (P = 0.043), and increased interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist (P < 0.01). The high-intensity interval training group reduced visceral adiposity tissue (P = 0.021) in a greater magnitude and increased interleukin-6 (P = 0.037) level when compared with the combined training group. Moreover, the visceral adiposity tissue changes explained the changes in IL-6 (56%; P = 0.002) only in the high-intensity interval training group. + + CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that high-intensity interval training is a time-efficient strategy for improving visceral adiposity tissue and inflammatory markers in obese postmenopausal women. Moreover, we observed that serum cytokine changes, at least in part, depend on visceral adiposity tissue alterations. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Receptors, Interleukin-1). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We tested the hypotheses that: 1) metabolic activity in the amygdala (AmygA), a key center involved in the neurobiological response to stress, associates with subsequent DM risk, and 2) this association is independent of adiposity. AmygA and adipose tissue volumes were measured, and serial blood assessments for DM were obtained in 232 subjects who underwent combined 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) imaging. Higher baseline AmygA predicted subsequent, new-onset DM, independently of adiposity and other DM risk factors. Furthermore, higher adiposity only increased DM risk in the presence of higher AmygA. In a separate cross-sectional cohort, higher AmygA associated with higher insulin resistance. Accordingly, the current study shows, for the first time, that activity in a stress-responsive neural region predicts the onset of DM. Further, we observed that this neurobiological activity acts independently of, but also synergistically with adiposity to increase DM risk. These findings suggest novel therapeutic targets to help manage and possibly prevent DM. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

However, the molecular bases of this association are still elusive and may act independently of weight loss. Here, our retrospective study has investigated the inflammatory molecule osteopontin (OPN) as a potential predictor of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission. + + METHODS: Baseline serum levels of OPN were analyzed in 41 T2DM patients who underwent bariatric surgery. Anthropometric measures and biochemical variables, including insulin sensitivity indices (HOMA2), were assessed at baseline and at 1 and 3 years after surgery. + + RESULTS: At baseline, patients who experienced T2DM remission had increased waist circumference, body weight and BMI, and higher serum OPN, compared with non-remitters. Patients with and without T2DM remission improved their lipid and glucose profiles, although insulin resistance indices were only improved in the T2DM remission group. In the overall cohort of both T2DM remission and non-remission patients, baseline circulating levels of OPN significantly correlated with reductions of body weight and BMI over time, and insulin sensitivity improved as well. However, only the HOMA2-%S remained independently associated with serum OPN on multivariate linear regression analysis (B: 0.227, 95% CI: 0.067-0.387, beta = 0.831; P = 0.010). Baseline values of OPN predicted 3-year T2DM remission independently of body weight loss, lower BMI and duration of diabetes (OR: 1.046, 95% CI: 1.004-1.090; P = 0.033). + + CONCLUSION: Although larger studies are still needed to confirm our preliminary results, pre-operative OPN serum levels might be useful for predicting 3-year T2DM remission independently of weight loss in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

We assessed the association between maternal/paternal obesity and PE and hypothesized that maternal body mass index (BMI) would be associated with an adverse inflammatory and angiogenic profile. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and following serum angiogenic markers were determined: soluble endoglin (sEng), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF). + + METHODS: Data on BMI were available from 1450 pregnant women with PE and 1065 without PE. Serum concentrations of hs-CRP and angiogenic markers were available from a subset at first and third trimesters. + + RESULTS: Prepregnancy BMI was higher in the PE group than in controls (mean +/- SD) 25.3 +/- 5.2 vs. 24.1 +/- 4,4, p < 0.001, adjusted for parity, mother's age, and smoking status before pregnancy. Increased hs-CRP concentrations were observed in both PE and non-PE women similarly according to BMI category. In women with PE, a higher BMI was associated with lower sFlt-1 and sEng concentrations throughout the pregnancy (p = 0.004, p = 0.008, respectively). There were no differences in PlGF in PE women according to BMI. + + CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed increased pre-pregnancy BMI in women with PE. Enhanced inflammatory state was confirmed in all women with overweight/obesity. Partly paradoxically we observed that PE women with obesity had less disturbed levels of angiogenic markers than normal weight women with PE. This should be taken into account when angiogenic markers are used in PE prediction. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (CRP protein, human). 0 (Endoglin). 0 (PGF protein, human). 0 (Receptors, Immunologic). 144589-93-5 (Placenta Growth Factor). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Participants were randomly allocated to the STEPWISE intervention or treatment as usual. The 12-month intervention comprised four 2.5 h weekly group sessions, followed by 2-weekly maintenance contact and group sessions at 4, 7 and 10 months. The primary outcome was weight change after 12 months. Key secondary outcomes included diet, physical activity, biomedical measures and patient-related outcome measures. Cost-effectiveness was assessed and a mixed-methods process evaluation was included. + + RESULTS: Between 10 March 2015 and 31 March 2016, we recruited 414 people (intervention 208, usual care 206) with 341 (84.4%) participants completing the trial. At 12 months, weight reduction did not differ between groups (mean difference 0.0 kg, 95% CI -1.6 to 1.7, P = 0.963); physical activity, dietary intake and biochemical measures were unchanged. STEPWISE was well-received by participants and facilitators. The healthcare perspective incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was 246 921 per quality-adjusted life-year gained. + + CONCLUSIONS: Participants were successfully recruited and retained, indicating a strong interest in weight interventions; however, the STEPWISE intervention was neither clinically nor cost-effective. Further research is needed to determine how to manage overweight and obesity in people with schizophrenia.

Differences between groups were evaluated using t-tests, and multiple linear regression analysis, adjusting for age and weight status (normal weight vs obese), was used to calculate unstandardized regression coefficients (beta) with 95% CIs between copeptin and glucagon. Copeptin was (natural) log-transformed. + + RESULTS: The obese men had higher [median (interquartile range)] plasma copeptin concentrations [6.6 (4.6-9.5) vs 4.9 (3.5-6.8) pmol/l; P = 0.040] and higher mean +/- sd plasma glucagon concentrations (8.5 +/- 3.8 vs 5.3 +/- 1.4 pmol/l; P < 0.001) than the normal-weight men. Adjusted for age and weight status, copeptin was significantly associated with glucagon (beta = 1.35, 95% CI 0.13-2.57; P = 0.031). No significant interaction effect between copeptin and weight status on glucagon was found (P = 0.81). + + CONCLUSIONS: Obese men had higher concentrations of copeptin and glucagon than men of normal weight. Copeptin was positively associated with glucagon. Our data suggest that increased arginine vasopressin-stimulated glucagon secretion might contribute to higher glucagon concentrations; therefore, increased arginine vasopressin secretion, in addition to other factors, could further aggravate the hyperglucagonaemic state found in obese individuals.

This study aimed to identify distinct plasma lipid profiles in overweight/obese individuals who show muscle-IR and/or liver-IR. + + SUBJECTS/METHODS: Baseline data of the European multicenter DiOGenes project were used (n = 640; 401 women, nondiabetic BMI: 27-45 kg/m2). Muscle insulin sensitivity index (MISI) and hepatic insulin resistance index (HIRI) were derived from a 5-point oral glucose tolerance test. The 140 plasma lipids were quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Linear mixed models were used to evaluate associations between MISI, HIRI and plasma lipids. + + RESULTS: MISI was comparable between sexes while HIRI and triacylglycerol (TAG) levels were lower in women than in men. MISI was associated with higher lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) levels (standardized (std)beta = 0.126; FDR-p = 0.032). Sex interactions were observed for associations between HIRI, TAG and diacylglycerol (DAG) lipid classes. In women, but not in men, HIRI was associated with higher levels of TAG (44 out of 55 species) and both DAG species (stdbeta: 0.139-0.313; FDR-p < 0.05), a lower odd-chain/even-chain TAG ratio (stdbeta = -0.182; FDR-p = 0.005) and a lower very-long-chain/long-chain TAG ratio (stdbeta = -0.156; FDR-p = 0.037). + + CONCLUSIONS: In overweight/obese individuals, muscle insulin sensitivity is associated with higher plasma LPC concentrations. Women have less hepatic IR and lower TAG than men. Nevertheless, hepatic IR is associated with higher plasma TAG and DAG concentrations and a lower abundance of odd-chain and very-long-chain TAG in women, but not in men. This suggests a more pronounced worsening of plasma lipid profile in women with the progression of hepatic IR. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Metabolic syndrome is associated with osteoarthritis (OA), but it is unclear if the association is attributable to increased mechanical loading on joints caused by obesity or other aspects of metabolic syndrome. Here we examined the effects of altered metabolism, obesity, and the gut microbiome on load-induced OA. + + DESIGN: Cartilage damage was induced through cyclic compressive loading in four groups of adult male mice: Toll-like receptor-5 deficient (TLR5KO) mice that develop metabolic syndrome due to alterations in the gut microbiome, TLR5KO mice submitted to chronic antibiotics to prevent metabolic syndrome (TLR5KODELTAMicrobiota), C57BL/6J mice fed a high fat diet to cause obesity (HFD), and untreated C57BL/6J mice (WT). Loading was applied for 2 weeks (n = 10-11/group) or 6 weeks (n = 10-11/group). + + RESULTS: After 2 weeks of loading, cartilage damage (OARSI score) was not different among groups. After 6 weeks of loading, HFD mice had increased load-induced cartilage damage, while TLR5KO mice had cartilage damage comparable to WT mice. TLR5KODELTAMicrobiota mice had less cartilage damage than other groups. HFD mice had elevated serum inflammatory markers. Each group had a distinct gut microbiome composition. + + CONCLUSIONS: Severe obesity increased load-induced cartilage damage, while milder changes in adiposity/metabolic syndrome seen in TLR5KO mice did not. Furthermore, the effects of systemic inflammation/obesity on cartilage damage depend on the duration of mechanical loading. Lastly, reduced cartilage damage in the TLR5KODELTAMicrobiota mice suggests that the gut microbiome may influence cartilage pathology. Copyright © 2018 Osteoarthritis Research Society International.

Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) is an acute-phase reactant that mediates immune responses triggered by microbial products. Our aim is to investigate the relationship between circulating levels of LBP, and various metabolic and inflammatory markers in HD patients. Besides, we also aim to determine its relationship among -patients with different body mass index. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 123 HD patients were stratified into three -tertiles, according to serum LBP level. The LBP and inflammatory markers were determined using immunoassay methods. A bioimpedance spectroscopy device was used for body composition measurement. + + RESULTS: The serum levels of the two proinflammatory markers, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and interleukin (IL)-6, were significantly higher in patients in the upper tertile when compared with the rest of the tertiles. In HD patients, a significant positive correlation was found between serum LBP levels and CRP, IL-6, soluble CD14 (sCD14), and fasting blood glucose levels. Patients with metabolic syndrome and pre-existing cardiovascular disease had higher LBP levels than those without metabolic syndrome. Besides, obese patients were also associated with higher serum LBP levels. Multivariate regression analyses showed that IL-6 level was the strongest correlate of LBP level, followed by hsCRP level and sCD14. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggested that elevated plasma LBP was associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity. In addition, increased LBP level was correlated positively to markers of inflammation, and sCD14 levels. Copyright © 2018 S.

However, limited data regarding the association between dietary quality and biomarkers of cardiometabolic health exist. Therefore the aim of this work was to examine potential associations between dietary quality, assessed using the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) dietary quality score, adiposity and biomarkers of glucose homeostasis, lipoprotein metabolism and inflammation in a cross-sectional sample of 1493 men and women. + + METHODS: Anthropometric measurements included BMI, hip and waist circumference (WC). Serum acute-phase reactants, adipocytokines, pro-inflammatory cytokines and white blood cell (WBC) counts were determined. Lipoprotein particle size and subclass concentrations were measured using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Insulin resistance was calculated by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR). + + RESULTS: Higher dietary quality was associated with lower BMI (P < 0.05), WC (P < 0.001), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin 6 (IL-6), WBC and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) concentrations (P < 0.01) and reduced insulin resistance (P < 0.05). In addition less small low density lipoprotein (LDL) and small high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles and less large very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles were observed among those with better dietary quality (P < 0.001). Individuals in the top DASH quartile had a 54% and 48% lower likelihood of central obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS), respectively, than those in the lowest DASH quartile (P < 0.05). + + CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that higher quality diet is associated with improved adiposity measures and a less insulin resistant, pro-inflammatory, pro-thrombotic and pro-atherogenic cardiometabolic profile which may impact on central obesity and MetS risk. These findings, which may be of clinical and public health significance in terms of dietary approaches to promote cardiometabolic health, warrant further examination.

We previously reported that time-imposed feeding during the daytime (inactive phase) induces obesity and metabolic disorders accompanied by physical inactivity in mice. The present study compares metabolic changes induced in mice by time-imposed feeding under voluntary wheel-running (RW) and sedentary (SED) conditions to determine the effects of voluntary wheel-running activity on obesity induced in mice by feeding at inappropriate times. Mice were individually housed in cages with or without running-wheels. We compared food consumption, core body temperature, hormonal and metabolic variables in the blood, lipid accumulation in the liver, circadian expression of clock and metabolic genes in peripheral tissues, and gains in body weight between mice allowed access to food only during the sleep phase (daytime feeding; DF) or only during the active phase (nighttime feeding; NF) under SED or RW conditions. Only a high-fat high-sucrose diet was available to the mice throughout restricted feeding. Nocturnal activity was maintained in both NF and DF mice under RW conditions, but significantly suppressed during the latter half of the dark phase in DF mice. Nocturnal fluctuations in core body temperature were maintained in DF and NF mice under both SED and RW conditions, although DF attenuated the day-night amplitude more under SED, than RW conditions. The degrees of DF-induced increases in body weight gain, food efficiency, adipose tissue mass, lipogenic gene expression in metabolic tissues, and hepatic lipid accumulation were essentially identical between SED and RW conditions. Daytime feeding also induced hyperinsulinemia and hyperleptinemia under both SED and RW conditions, although DF-induced hyperleptinemia was slightly attenuated by wheel-running. The temporal expression of circadian clock genes became synchronized to feeding cycles in the liver but not in the skeletal muscle of mice under both SED and RW conditions. Chronic voluntary exercise on running-wheels minimally affected obesity and adiposity in mice caused by daily feeding at unusual times. The timing of food intake might be more important than physical exercise for preventing metabolic disorders.

Here, we aimed to investigate the relationship between adipose tissue TSHB and adipose tissue physiology-related gene expression. + + SUBJECTS/METHODS: Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue TSHB gene expression was analysed in two independent cohorts [Cohort1 (N = 96) and Cohort2 (N = 45)] and after bariatric surgery-induced weight loss [Cohort3 (N = 22)]. Adipose tissue TSH protein expression was also analysed in a subgroup of participants from Cohort 1 (N = 16). The effects of recombinant TSH on human subcutaneous preadipocytes and adipocytes were investigated. + + RESULTS: In cohort 1, both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue TSHB gene expression was positively correlated with the expression of mitochondrial function (PPARGC1A, ISCA2, CISD1, SIRT1, NFE2L2, NRF1) and fatty acid mobilization (CAV1, ENGL1), but not with adipogenic-related genes. Of note, adipose tissue TSH protein levels were also associated with some of these markers of mitochondrial function and fatty acid mobilization. These associations were replicated in cohort 2. Bariatric surgery-induced weight loss resulted in increased subcutaneous adipose tissue TSHB in parallel to increased PPARGC1A. In human subcutaneous adipocytes, rh-TSH administration led to increased mitochondrial respiratory capacity in parallel to increased mitochondrial function- and adipogenic-related gene expression, but no significant effects were observed during differentiation of human preadipocytes. + + CONCLUSION: These data point to a possible role of adipose tissue TSH in the maintenance of adipocyte mitochondrial function. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids). 0 (Thyrotropin Alfa). 0 (Thyrotropin, beta Subunit). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Body composition was evaluated with octopolar bioimpedance. Total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triacylglycerol, glucose, cortisol, leptin, adiponectin, Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 were assessed. The handgrip test was used to evaluate strength. + + RESULTS: When comparing the inflammatory profile, sarcopenic individuals showed greater adiponectin concentration (p = 0.019), adiponectin/fat mass ratio (p < 0.001), adiponectin/visceral fat (p < 0.001), and higher PAI-1 (p = 0.019) than non-sarcopenic overfat elderly. After adjusting the inflammatory profile by skeletal muscle mass the significant differences between groups were maintained (p < 0.05) but no significant differences between groups were observed when adjusting by fat mass, despite a tendency to a significant difference for adiponectin concentration (p = 0.06). In addition, after adjusting leptin by fat mass there was a statistically significant lower concentration in the sarcopenic compared to non-sarcopenic overfat elderly. + + CONCLUSION: Non-sarcopenic overfat elderly presented lower anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic responses than sarcopenic elderly. Furthermore, fat mass but not skeletal muscle mass seem to change these responses. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1). 0 (SERPINE1 protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs40520-018-1029-3 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Rossi&issn=1594-0667&title=Aging-Clinical+%26+Experimental+Research&atitle=Influence+of+skeletal+muscle+mass+and+fat+mass+on+the+metabolic+and+inflammatory+profile+in+sarcopenic+and+non-sarcopenic+overfat+elderly.&volume=31&issue=5&spage=629&epage=635&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs40520-018-1029-3&pmid=30178443&sid=OVID:medline + +<1903> +Unique Identifier + 30136029 +Title + Carnosine supplementation reduces plasma soluble transferrin receptor in healthy overweight or obese individuals: a pilot randomised trial. +Source + Amino Acids. 51(1):73-81, 2019 Jan. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Baye E; Ukropec J; de Courten MPJ; Kurdiova T; Krumpolec P; Fernandez-Real JM; Aldini G; Ukropcova B; de Courten B +Authors Full Name + Baye, Estifanos; Ukropec, Jozef; de Courten, Maximilian P J; Kurdiova, Timea; Krumpolec, Patrick; Fernandez-Real, Jose-Manuel; Aldini, Giancarlo; Ukropcova, Barbara; de Courten, Barbora. +Institution + Baye, Estifanos.

Carnosine, an over-the-counter food supplement with chelating properties, has been shown to decrease serum iron and improve glucose metabolism in diabetic rodents. We have previously demonstrated that carnosine supplementation prevented worsening of glucose metabolism in healthy overweight and obese middle-aged adults. Yet, the impact of carnosine on markers of iron metabolism in humans has not been investigated. We aimed to determine whether carnosine supplementation has an effect on iron parameters in overweight and obese, otherwise healthy adults. We included 26 participants, who were randomly allocated to receive 1 g carnosine (n = 14) or identical placebo (n = 12) twice daily for 12 weeks. Iron parameters including iron, ferritin, transferrin, soluble transferrin receptor, total iron binding capacity and iron saturation were measured in serum or plasma by standard commercial assays. Carnosine supplementation decreased plasma soluble transferrin receptor compared to placebo (mean change difference +/- standard error: - 0.07 +/- 0.03 mg/l, p = 0.04). None of the other iron parameters were different between carnosine and placebo groups. At follow-up, soluble transferrin receptor was associated inversely with urinary carnosine concentrations and positively with serum carnosinase-1 activity (both p < 0.02). Our findings suggest that carnosine may modulate iron metabolism in high-risk groups which could ameliorate insulin resistance and prevent type 2 diabetes. Larger human clinical trials are required to confirm our results. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Chelating Agents). 0 (Receptors, Transferrin). 0 (Transferrin). 8HO6PVN24W (Carnosine). 9007-73-2 (Ferritins).

The aim of the study was to assess whether circulating concentrations of RANKL, RANK, and OPG were associated with early signs of morphological cardiac changes in overweight/obese youths. + + METHODS: We determined serum levels of RANKL, RANK and OPG by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in 188 overweight/obese children and adolescents. LV mass index (LVMI) and relative wall thickness (RWT) were estimated using M-mode echocardiography. + + RESULTS: OPG and RANKL levels were higher among girls than among boys [1.73 (1.64-1.86) and 3.28 (1.90-6.37) pmol/L, respectively, vs. 1.69 (1.59-1.82) and 2.12 (1.52-3.80) pmol/L; p = 0.02 and p = 0.0001, respectively], but the OPG/RANKL ratio was lower [0.52 (0.26-0.88) vs 0.77 (0.44-1.11); p = 0.001]. In gender-specific multivariate linear regression, OPG/RANKL ratio was associated with LVMI and RWT in boys but not in girls. In multiple logistic regression, after adjustment for clinical variables, OPG/RANKL ratio was associated with concentric remodeling, eccentric and concentric LVH in boys but not in girls. + + CONCLUSION: OPG/RANKL ratio is independently associated with LVH and patterns of LV structural remodeling in male overweight/obese children and adolescents. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Osteoprotegerin). 0 (RANK Ligand). 0 (TNFRSF11B protein, human). 0 (TNFSF11 protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs40618-018-0932-y +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Zampetti&issn=0391-4097&title=Journal+of+Endocrinological+Investigation&atitle=Association+of+OPG-RANKL+ratio+with+left+ventricular+hypertrophy+and+geometric+remodeling+in+male+overweight%2Fobese+youths.&volume=42&issue=4&spage=427&epage=434&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs40618-018-0932-y&pmid=30132289&sid=OVID:medline + +<1905> +Unique Identifier + 30130326 +Title + Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome in Kidney Transplantation: The Role of Dietary Fructose and Systemic Endotoxemia. +Source + Transplantation. 103(1):191-201, 2019 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Chan W; Smith B; Stegall M; Borrows R +Authors Full Name + Chan, Winnie; Smith, Byron; Stegall, Mark; Borrows, Richard. +Institution + Chan, Winnie.

The role of fructose intake and metabolic endotoxemia has gained attention recently, but data in kidney transplantation are lacking. This study evaluated the risk factors for metabolic syndrome (MS), its components, and other associated markers in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), focusing particularly on fructose intake and systemic endotoxemia. + + METHODS: This cross-sectional observational study enrolled 128 KTRs longer than 1 year posttransplantation. Clinical, biochemical, anthropometric, and questionnaire assessments were undertaken. + + RESULTS: Obesity (body mass index, >=30 kg/m) and MS (International Diabetes Federation Definition) were found in 36.7% and 50% of KTRs, respectively. Both increased fructose intake (P = 0.01) and endotoxin level (P = 0.02) were independently associated with MS; and higher fructose intake was independently associated with obesity (P < 0.001). Specifically, increased fructose intake was associated with the central obesity (P = 0.01) and hyperglycemia (P < 0.001) criteria of MS, whereas higher endotoxin level was associated with the hypertriglyceridemia (P = 0.003) and low HDL cholesterol concentration (P = 0.002) criteria of MS. Neither saturated fat nor total caloric intakes were independently associated with obesity and MS; and neither obesity nor central obesity were independently associated with the dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia criteria of MS. Principal component analysis demonstrated relationships between higher levels of endotoxin, soluble endothelial selectin, triglycerides, and insulin resistance (r > 0.6), as well as relationships between increased fructose intake, inflammation, and blood glucose (r > 0.6). + + CONCLUSIONS: Dietary modifications through decreasing fructose intake and addressing systemic endotoxemia are plausible targets for improving metabolic health of KTRs. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Dietary Sugars). 0 (Endotoxins). 0 (Lipids). 30237-26-4 (Fructose). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Changes in NO level are considered to be associated with obesity and its clinical consequences. Previous studies on NO levels in obese children provided inconclusive results, so this issue requires clarification. + + OBJECTIVES: One of the main goals of this study was to assess whether childhood excessive body weight (EBW) is associated with changes in serum NO level and whether features like age and gender are linked to NO levels in selected groups. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: In the present study, the serum NO levels were compared in 43 children with EBW and 37 ageand gender-matched children with normal weight. Moreover, in both groups, body measurements and various clinical parameters, including the serum concentrations of arginine (Arg), a precursor of NO, were determined. + + RESULTS: The mean serum NO level in EBW group (8.7 +/-3.1 mumol/L) was significantly lower than in normal weight group (22.2 +/-11.5 mumol/L). However, the serum Arg concentrations were higher in EBW children than in controls. Serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels were higher in EBW group and inversely correlated with serum NO. The EBW female subgroup was characterized by slightly lower level of NO than the EBW male subgroup. There were no significant changes in serum NO level among different age subgroups in both groups. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our results revealed that EBW in children is associated with significantly decreased level of serum NO. The decreased serum NO level in EBW children is not a result of depleted Arg in the blood. Asymmetric dimethylarginine may at least partially contribute to decreased NO levels in children with EBW. A decreased level of NO could be a potential early marker of the risk of cardiovascular disorders developing in children with EBW. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (dimethylarginine). 31C4KY9ESH (Nitric Oxide). 94ZLA3W45F (Arginine). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.17219%2facem%2f77982 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Czumaj&issn=1899-5276&title=Advances+in+Clinical+%26+Experimental+Medicine&atitle=Decreased+serum+level+of+nitric+oxide+in+children+with+excessive+body+weight.&volume=28&issue=4&spage=439&epage=446&date=2019&doi=10.17219%2Facem%2F77982&pmid=30129293&sid=OVID:medline + +<1907> +Unique Identifier + 30078743 +Title + Association of acylation stimulating protein and adiponectin with metabolic risk marker in North Indian obese women. +Source + Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome. 13(5):2987-2990, 2019 Sep - Oct. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Mishra S; Gupta V; Mishra S; Kulshrestha H; Kumar S; Gupta V; Sachan R; Mahdi AA +Authors Full Name + Mishra, Supriya; Gupta, Vani; Mishra, Sameeksha; Kulshrestha, Himani; Kumar, Sandeep; Gupta, Vandana; Sachan, Rekha; Mahdi, Abbas Ali. +Institution + Mishra, Supriya.

The purpose of this study is to describe the potential role of acylation stimulating protein and adiponectin with metabolic risk marker in North Indian obese women. + + METHODS: This is a case control study. Total 520 women were recruited for the study n=260 women with obesity (BMI>30) study group and n=260 women without obesity (BMI<25) control group. Serum ASP and adiponectin level were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. + + RESULTS: Result indicated that WC, BP, lipid profile, FPG, FPI, IR (HOMA-IR), ASP were significantly higher but adiponectin and HDL were significantly lower in women with obesity than in women without obesity. Furthermore ASP was significantly positive correlated with WC, FPG, TG, VLDL, FPI and IR, whereas the correlation of adiponectin was significantly negative correlated with WC, FPG, TG, IR, ASP and significantly positive correlated with HDL in women with obesity. + + CONCLUSION: The study shows that high level of ASP and low level of Adiponectin could be a potential marker of women with obesity among metabolic syndrome.

Randomised controlled trials investigating the effect of non-surgical non-pharmacological weight loss treatment, with or without exercise, on self-reported pain and/or physical function and/or inflammatory biomarkers were selected. Two review authors independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias for each study. Standardised mean differences (SMD) of outcomes were pooled as appropriate, using a random effects approach. + + RESULTS: 2676 articles were identified, 19 met review criteria and 9 met criteria for meta-analyses. Diet-only treatments did not reduce pain (SMD -0.13; 95% confidence interval, CI: -0.37, 0.10; I2=49%) while a combination of diet and exercise treatments did reduce pain moderately (SMD -0.37; 95%CI: -0.69, -0.04; I2=54%). Physical function improved moderately with diet treatments (SMD -0.30; 95%CI: -0.52, -0.08; I2=47%) and combined diet and exercise treatments (SMD -0.32; 95%CI: -0.56, -0.08; I2=24%). Of the inflammatory markers assessed, only IL-6 reduced with diet-only treatments (SMD -0.23; 95%CI: -0.45, -0.02; I2=0%). + + CONCLUSION: Overall, moderate pain-relief is achievable with a combination of diet and exercise, but potentially not with diet-only treatments. Findings support that either diet-only treatments or combined diet and exercise treatments moderately improve physical function. Overall, treatment effects on inflammatory biomarkers are questionable. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

Body weight changes, biochemical and histopathological markers were demonstrated in rats fed a high-fat diet. + + RESULTS: Boswellia serrata extract inhibited alterations in pancreatic lipase activity, but orlistat was more efficacious. B. serrata and ephidrene, but not orlistat, significantly suppressed cumulative food intake in mice. In obese rats, B. serrata or orlistat significantly decreased weight gain and weight of visceral white adipose tissue. B. serrata-treated animals exhibited a significant reduction in serum glucose, TC, TG, LDL-C, FFA, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, insulin and leptin levels of obese rat groups while HDL-C and adiponectin levels were significantly increased by orlistat or B. serrata extract. Histopathological examination of the liver revealed that B. serrata was more effective than orlistat in alleviating steatosis and adipocyte hypertrophy shown in obese control rats. + + CONCLUSIONS: Boswellia serrata is as effective as orlistat in preventing obesity, hyperlipidemia, steatosis and insulin resistance. These actions may be mediated by suppression of food intake and decrease levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and leptin resistance along with increasing adiponectin. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Plant Extracts). 0 (Polyphenols). 0 (Resins, Plant). 95M8R751W8 (Orlistat).

We previously demonstrated that regulator of G-protein signaling-10 (RGS10) protein is a negative modulator of the inflammatory response in macrophages and microglia. Because inflammation is a critical component in the development of high fat diet-induced insulin resistance, in this study we investigated whether RGS10 is involved in the diet-dependent regulation of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. We hypothesized that the absence of RGS10 would exaggerate high-fat diet (HFD)-induced insulin resistance and inflammation response. Our results showed that RGS10 knockout (KO) mice fed a HFD gained significantly more weight and developed severe insulin resistance compared to wild-type (WT) mice fed HFD. Furthermore, compared to WT HFD-fed mice, KO mice fed the HFD displayed inflammatory phenotypes such as decreased adipose tissue expression of the anti-inflammatory M2 markers YM1 and Fizz1 and increased expression of the proinflammatory M1 cytokine interleukin 6 in adipose and CD11b, CD68 and interleukin 1beta in liver tissues. The impact of RGS10 deficiency on the exaggeration of HFD-induced insulin resistance and inflammation was ameliorated by oral consumption of green tea extract. Our results demonstrate that RGS10 is an important part of a protective mechanism involved in in regulating metabolic homeostasis by reducing inflammatory responses, which could potentially lead to an innovative new approach targeting inflammation and insulin resistance.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is also associated with MS whether NAFLD is an additional risk factor for the systemic inflammation that occurs in OSA is unclear. + + OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to analyze the association of OSA and NAFLD with MS and systemic inflammation in Asian Indians. + + METHODS: Total 240 (132 males and 108 females) overweight/obese subjects [body mass index (BMI > 23 kg/m2)] were recruited; of these, 124 subjects had OSA with NAFLD, 47 had OSA without NAFLD, 44 did not have OSA but had NAFLD and 25 had neither OSA nor without NAFLD. Severity of NAFLD was based on abdomen ultrasound and of OSA on overnight polysomnography. Clinical examinations, anthropometry, body composition, metabolic parameters, and inflammatory biomarkers were recorded. + + RESULTS: Serum levels of leptin, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), high sensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) were significantly higher, and adiponectin levels were significantly lower in OSA with NAFLD subjects. Prevalence of MS was significantly increased in OSA and NAFLD subjects (p = 0.001). There was a strong association and correlation between leptin, IL-6, Hs-CRP, MIF, and TNF-alpha in OSA and NAFLD subjects. Multivariate logistic regression showed that OSA was positively associated with the NAFLD [odds ratio (OR), (95% confidence interval (CL) 3.12 (2.58-7.72), (P = 0.002)]. + + CONCLUSION: NAFLD is an additional risk factor in OSA subject which contributes to systemic inflammation in Asian Indians. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs11325-018-1678-7 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Bhatt&issn=1520-9512&title=Sleep+%26+Breathing&atitle=Non-alcoholic+fatty+liver+disease+is+an+independent+risk+factor+for+inflammation+in+obstructive+sleep+apnea+syndrome+in+obese+Asian+Indians.&volume=23&issue=1&spage=171&epage=178&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs11325-018-1678-7&pmid=30032465&sid=OVID:medline + +<1913> +Unique Identifier + 30030159 +Title + DPP4 activity is related to body weight and central fat in postmenopausal women. +Source + Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome. 13(5):3031-3034, 2019 Sep - Oct. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Siciliano PO; Godoy-Matos AF; Braga LDDC; Denise Pires Carvalho J; Correa JODA +Authors Full Name + Siciliano, Priscila de Oliveira; Godoy-Matos, Amelio F; Braga, Leticia Dinis da C; Denise Pires Carvalho, Jose; Correa, Jose Otavio do Amaral. +Institution + Siciliano, Priscila de Oliveira.

Postmenopausal (PM) state may be associated with increase in body weight and central fat distribution. We hypothesize that DPP4 is increased in PM women. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-two non-obese PM and 22 non-obese premenopausal women (PreM), were evaluated. DPP4 activity, lipid profile, HbA1c, FSH, estradiol and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) were measured; an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed and IR calculated. Body composition was assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Correlations between DPP4 and the anthropometric and metabolic variables and body fat distribution were studied. + + RESULTS: DPP4 activity was not different between the two groups (PM 5309+/-650 vs PreM 5387+/-704 RLU; p=0,70). In the PM group there was a significant correlation between DPP4 and body weight (r=0,498; p=0,03; n=22) and trunk fat (r=0,477; p=0,03; n=21). There was also a trend for correlation with android (r=0,418; p=0,06; n=21) and total fat (r=0,409; p=0,06; n=21). When stratified by BMI, DPP4 was significantly higher in PM women with BMI >=25kg/m2 (p=0,02). + + CONCLUSION: DPP4 was not increased in PM but is associated with body weight and body fat centralization.

We calculated the percentage of weight change during adulthood based on body weight at middle age and recalled body weight at age 20. Abdominal subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in addition to hepatic triglyceride content by 1H-MR spectroscopy in a random subgroup (maximum of n = 2580). With multivariable linear regression analysis, we examined the associations between categories of adult weight change, body mass index (BMI) at age 20 and measures of abdominal adiposity at middle age, adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, lifestyle factors, menopausal status, parity, use of medication and total body fat at middle age. + + RESULTS: In 2399 participants (54% women), individuals who gained more than 50% of body weight during adulthood had 1.96 (95% CI: 1.64; 2.33) times more visceral adipose tissue at middle age and 2.39 (95% CI: 1.70, 3.36) times more hepatic triglyceride content than weight maintainers (weight change between -5% and 5%). Associations with abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue were weaker: participants who gained more than 50% of their body weight had 1.54 (95% CI: 1.38, 1.72) times more abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue compared with weight maintainers. + + CONCLUSIONS: In this population-based study, adult weight gain was associated with relatively more visceral adipose tissue and hepatic triglyceride content at middle age than abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue. Overall, our study suggests that weight maintenance during adulthood plays an important role in limiting excess visceral adipose tissue and hepatic triglyceride content at middle age. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, reports on the effects of different weight-loss methods on PTX3 are limited. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of weight loss on circulating PTX3 levels in overweight and obese men and to examine the combined effect of dietary modification and exercise training on PTX3 levels. Forty-eight overweight and obese men were assigned to 2 groups: dietary modification (group D) or exercise training and dietary modification (group DE). Groups D and DE were composed of 27 and 21 participants, respectively. We observed a significant independent relationship between changes in PTX3 and body mass index (BMI) in all participants (beta = -0.617, p < 0.01). Subsequently, we compared the effects of the 2 weight-loss methods on plasma PTX3 in groups D and DE. The magnitude of the increase in plasma PTX3 levels was similar in the 2 groups. Interestingly, we observed that PTX3 levels in group DE increased significantly more than those in group D in subjects who achieved normal weight, based on BMI, after interventions. Our study suggested that weight reduction after lifestyle modification significantly increased PTX3 levels in overweight and obese men, and the addition of habitual exercise to dietary modification enhanced the magnitude of the increase in PTX3 levels in obese individuals achieving normal weight after weight loss. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Serum Amyloid P-Component). 148591-49-5 (PTX3 protein). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1139%2fapnm-2018-0214 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Zempo-Miyaki&issn=1715-5312&title=Applied+Physiology%2C+Nutrition%2C+%26+Metabolism+%3D+Physiologie+Appliquee%2C+Nutrition+et+Metabolisme&atitle=Pentraxin+3+increases+in+adult+overweight+and+obese+men+after+weight+loss+by+dietary+modification+with+exercise+training.&volume=44&issue=2&spage=111&epage=117&date=2019&doi=10.1139%2Fapnm-2018-0214&pmid=29990442&sid=OVID:medline + +<1916> +Unique Identifier + 29985729 +Title + Platelet reactivity in overweight and obese patients undergoing cardiac surgery. +Source + Platelets. 30(5):608-614, 2019. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Ranucci M; Aloisio T; Dedda UD; La Rovere MT; De Arroyabe BML; Baryshnikova E +Authors Full Name + Ranucci, Marco; Aloisio, Tommaso; Dedda, Umberto Di; La Rovere, Maria Teresa; De Arroyabe, Blanca Martinez Lopez; Baryshnikova, Ekaterina. +Institution + Ranucci, Marco. a Department of Cardiothoracic-Vascular Anesthesia and Intensive Care, IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, Milan, Italy. + Aloisio, Tommaso. a Department of Cardiothoracic-Vascular Anesthesia and Intensive Care, IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, Milan, Italy. + Dedda, Umberto Di. a Department of Cardiothoracic-Vascular Anesthesia and Intensive Care, IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, Milan, Italy. + La Rovere, Maria Teresa. b Department of Cardiology, Fondazione Salvatore Maugeri, IRCCS Istituto Scientifico di Montescano, Montescano, Italy. + De Arroyabe, Blanca Martinez Lopez. c Cardiac Anesthesia Unit, Department of Emergency Medicine, University Hospital of Trieste, Trieste, Italy. + Baryshnikova, Ekaterina. a Department of Cardiothoracic-Vascular Anesthesia and Intensive Care, IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, Milan, Italy. +MeSH Subject Headings + Aged + Biomarkers + Blood Coagulation + Blood Platelets/de [Drug Effects] + *Blood Platelets/me [Metabolism] + *Cardiac Surgical Procedures + Cohort Studies + Comorbidity + Female + Heart Diseases/bl [Blood] + Heart Diseases/co [Complications] + Heart Diseases/su [Surgery] + Humans + Male + Middle Aged + *Obesity/bl [Blood] + Obesity/co [Complications] + *Overweight/bl [Blood] + Overweight/co [Complications] + Platelet Activation/de [Drug Effects] + *Platelet Activation + Platelet Aggregation/de [Drug Effects] + Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors/pd [Pharmacology] + Platelet Function Tests +Keyword Heading + Cardiac surgery + electric impedance aggregometry + obesity + platelet function +Keyword Heading Owner + NOTNLM +Abstract + Body mass index (BMI) and specifically overweight and obesity have been associated with an increased platelet reactivity in different series of patients. This information is derived by different laboratory platelet function tests (PFTs) like mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet microparticles, thromboxane B2 metabolites, and others. Point-of-care PFT, which are often used in cardiac surgery, are rarely addressed. The present study aims to verify platelet reactivity using multiple-electrode aggregometry (MEA) as a function of BMI in cardiac surgery patients. One-hundred ninety-eight cardiac surgery patients free from the effects of drugs acting on the P2Y12 receptor and undergoing cardiac surgery received MEA-PFT immediately before surgery. Platelet reactivity was compared between normal weight and overweight-obese subjects. There were 99 underweight/normal (BMI < 25), 60 overweight (BMI >= 25) and 39 obese (BMI >= 30) patients. Overweight-obese patients did not show higher platelet counts nor a clear platelet hyper-reactivity, when tested with MPV and MEA ADP test. At TRAPtest, the overweight/obese patients had a significantly (P = 0.011) higher platelet reactivity (median 118, interquartile range 106-136) than controls (median 112, interquartile range 101-123) and a higher rate of platelet hyper-reactivity (odds ratio 2.19, 95% confidence interval 1.15-4.16, P = 0.016) in a multivariable model. A minor association was found between the BMI and platelet reactivity at TRAPtest, with a higher degree of activity for increasing BMI. The BMI determines an increased thrombin-dependent platelet reactivity in cardiac surgery patients. Thrombin is extensively formed during cardiac surgery, and this may explain the lower postoperative bleeding observed in obese patients in previous studies. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1080%2f09537104.2018.1492108 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Ranucci&issn=0953-7104&title=Platelets&atitle=Platelet+reactivity+in+overweight+and+obese+patients+undergoing+cardiac+surgery.&volume=30&issue=5&spage=608&epage=614&date=2019&doi=10.1080%2F09537104.2018.1492108&pmid=29985729&sid=OVID:medline + +<1917> +Unique Identifier + 29956214 +Title + Circulating insulin-like peptide 5 levels and its association with metabolic and hormonal parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. +Source + Journal of Endocrinological Investigation. 42(3):303-312, 2019 Mar. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Bicer M; Alan M; Alarslan P; Guler A; Kocabas GU; Imamoglu C; Aksit M; Bozkaya G; Isil AM; Baloglu A; Aslanipoiur B; Calan M +Authors Full Name + Bicer, M; Alan, M; Alarslan, P; Guler, A; Kocabas, G U; Imamoglu, C; Aksit, M; Bozkaya, G; Isil, A M; Baloglu, A; Aslanipoiur, B; Calan, Mehmet. +Institution + Bicer, M.

Growing evidence implicates the crucial role of the peptide in some metabolisms including food intake, glucose homeostasis and reproductive system. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is involved in both reproductive and metabolic issues. The aim of the study was determination of circulating levels of INSL5 alteration in women with PCOS and evaluation of the relationship between INSL5 and hormonal-metabolic parameters as well as carotid intima media thickness (cIMT). + + METHODS: A total of 164 subjects were recruited in this cross-sectional study (82 women with PCOS and 82 age- and BMI-matched controls). Circulating INSL5 levels were assessed via ELISA method. High-resolution B-mode ultrasound was used to measure cIMT. The hormonal and metabolic parameters of the recruited subjects were determined. + + RESULTS: Circulating INSL5 levels were significantly elevated in women with PCOS compared to controls (27.63 +/- 7.74 vs. 19.90 +/- 5.85 ng/ml, P < 0.001). The mean values of INSL5 were significantly higher in overweight subjects compared to lean weight subjects in both groups. The women with PCOS having insulin resistance have increased INSL5 compared to those of PCOS subjects without insulin resistance. INSL5 is associated with insulin resistance, BMI, luteinizing hormone and free androgen index. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that the odds ratio for having PCOS in the highest tertile of INSL5 was higher than in the lowest tertile. + + CONCLUSIONS: PCOS subjects exhibited an elevation in circulating INSL5 levels along with a link between INSL5 level induction and metabolic-hormonal parameters. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Hormones). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Leydig insulin-like protein). 0 (Proteins). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs40618-018-0917-x +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Bicer&issn=0391-4097&title=Journal+of+Endocrinological+Investigation&atitle=Circulating+insulin-like+peptide+5+levels+and+its+association+with+metabolic+and+hormonal+parameters+in+women+with+polycystic+ovary+syndrome.&volume=42&issue=3&spage=303&epage=312&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs40618-018-0917-x&pmid=29956214&sid=OVID:medline + +<1918> +Unique Identifier + 29948221 +Title + An integrated transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis identifies CD44 gene as a potential biomarker for weight loss within an energy-restricted program. +Source + European Journal of Nutrition. 58(5):1971-1980, 2019 Aug. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Samblas M; Mansego ML; Zulet MA; Milagro FI; Martinez JA +Author NameID + Samblas, Mirian; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0866-2300 + Mansego, Maria Luisa; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8914-7890 + Zulet, Maria Angeles; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3926-0892 + Milagro, Fermin I; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3228-9916 + Martinez, J Alfredo; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5218-6941 +Authors Full Name + Samblas, Mirian; Mansego, Maria Luisa; Zulet, Maria Angeles; Milagro, Fermin I; Martinez, J Alfredo. +Institution + Samblas, Mirian.

The aim of this study is to identify novel genes that distinguish individual responses to a weight-loss dietary treatment by using the integrative analysis of mRNA expression and DNA methylation arrays. + + METHODS: Subjects from Metabolic Syndrome Reduction in Navarra (RESMENA) project were classified as low (LR) or high (HR) responders depending on their weight loss. Transcriptomic (n = 24) and epigenomic (n = 47) patterns were determined by array-based genome-wide technologies in human white blood cells at the baseline of the treatment period. CD44 expression was validated by qRT-PCR and methylation degree of CpGs of the gene was validated by MassARRAY R EpiTYPER TM in a subsample of 47 subjects. CD44 protein levels were measured by ELISA in human plasma. + + RESULTS: Different expression and DNA methylation profiles were identified in LR in comparison to HR. The integrative analysis of both array data identified four genes: CD44, ITPR1, MTSS1 and FBXW5 that were differently methylated and expressed between groups. CD44 showed higher expression and lower DNA methylation levels in LR than in HR. Although differences in CD44 protein levels between LR and HR were not statistically significant, a positive association was observed between CD44 mRNA expression and protein levels. + + CONCLUSIONS: In summary, the combination of a genome-wide methylation and expression array dataset can be a useful strategy to identify novel genes that might be considered as predictors of the dietary response. CD44 gene transcription and methylation may be a possible candidate biomarker for weight-loss prediction. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (CD44 protein, human). 0 (Hyaluronan Receptors). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The present investigation was to evaluate a common rat model, in which obesity is induced by high-fat, high-sucrose diet (HFSD), for its applicability in periodontal research. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten male Wistar rats were fed a 3-month HFSD along with a matching control group. Afterwards, the body weight, adipocyte morphology, leptin and adiponectin levels in adipose tissue, gingiva, and serum as well as the serum levels of triglyceride, cholesterol, and glucose were analyzed. For statistical analyses, parametric and non-parametric tests were applied (p < 0.05). + + RESULTS: Body weight was significantly higher in the HFSD group after dieting as compared to control. HFSD caused a significant increase in serum triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and leptin levels and a significant decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Furthermore, adipose tissue from HFSD rats exhibited significantly larger adipocytes, displayed a significant upregulation of leptin and, surprisingly, elevated adiponectin levels, which is in contrast to chronic obesity in humans. Although leptin and adiponectin were also observed in gingival biopsies, no obvious differences between the groups were found. + + CONCLUSIONS: Although this rat diet-induced obesity model is characterized by changes typical of obesity, it also has limitations, which have to be considered when data, especially with regard to adipokines, are extrapolated to humans. + + CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The rodent diet-induced obesity model may be useful for unraveling pathomechanisms underlying the association between obesity and periodontal destruction but conclusions have to be drawn with caution. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Sucrose). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2fs00784-018-2514-y +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Damanaki&issn=1432-6981&title=Clinical+Oral+Investigations&atitle=Characterization+of+a+diet-induced+obesity+rat+model+for+periodontal+research.&volume=23&issue=2&spage=937&epage=946&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2Fs00784-018-2514-y&pmid=29907930&sid=OVID:medline + +<1920> +Unique Identifier + 29907846 +Title + Greater blood volume and Hb mass in obese women quantified by the carbon monoxide-rebreathing method affects interpretation of iron biomarkers and iron requirements. +Source + International Journal of Obesity. 43(5):999-1008, 2019 05. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Cepeda-Lopez AC; Zimmermann MB; Wussler S; Melse-Boonstra A; Naef N; Mueller SM; Toigo M; Herter-Aeberli I +Authors Full Name + Cepeda-Lopez, Ana C; Zimmermann, Michael B; Wussler, Sophia; Melse-Boonstra, Alida; Naef, Nicole; Mueller, Sandro Manuel; Toigo, Marco; Herter-Aeberli, Isabelle. +Institution + Cepeda-Lopez, Ana C.

Greater blood volume (BV) in OW/OB may increase hemoglobin (Hb) mass and iron requirements, and confound iron biomarkers by hemodilution. Quantification of BV/PV changes in OW/OB is challenging and a formula to estimate BV/PV based on anthropometric indices would be valuable. In normal weight (NW) and OW/OB women, we aimed at: (1) measure BV and assess whether differences in BV affect concentrations and total circulating mass of Hb and iron biomarkers; (2) develop an algorithm describing BV in OW/OB. + + SUBJECTS/METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, we measured BV in NW, OW, and OB non-anemic women (n = 62) by using the carbon monoxide-rebreathing method, body composition by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, and iron and inflammatory status. + + RESULTS: OW and OB women had 11 and 16% higher mean BV and PV compared to NW (P < 0.05), respectively. In OW/OB compared to NW, total circulating masses of IL-6, hepcidin, Hb, and sTfR were higher, while total mass of serum iron was lower (for all, P < 0.05). An equation including height, body mass and lean mass to estimate BV in all BMI groups (R2 = 0.76). + + CONCLUSION: An equation based on anthropometric indices provides a good estimate of increased BV in OW/OB women. In OW/OB women, there is an increase in Hb mass that likely increases iron requirements for erythropoiesis and circulating TfR mass. At the same time, higher hepcidin concentrations may lower serum iron mass.

The branched-chain essential amino acids (BCAAs), viz valine, leucine and isoleucine, have been proposed as biomarkers of an individual's health state, given their influence on protein synthesis and gluconeogenesis inhibition. Methods: BCAA levels of 141 euthymic/subsyndromal individuals with BD and 141 matched healthy controls (HC) were analysed by high-pressure lipid chromatography and correlated with clinical psychiatric, anthropometric and metabolic parameters. Results: BD and HC did not differ in valine and isoleucine, whereas leucine was significantly lower in BD. Furthermore, correlations were found between BCAAs and anthropometric and glucose metabolism data. All BCAAs correlated with lipid metabolism parameters in females. There were no associations between BCAAs and long-term clinical parameters of BD. A negative correlation was found between valine and Hamilton Depression-Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory II, in male individualsConclusions: Our results indicate the utility of BCAAs as biomarkers for the current state of health, also in BD. As BD individuals have a high risk for overweight/obesity, in association with comorbid medical conditions (e.g. cardiovascular diseases or insulin resistance), health state markers are urgently required. However, no illness-specific associations were found in this euthymic/subsyndromal BD group. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids, Branched-Chain). 0 (Biomarkers). 04Y7590D77 (Isoleucine).

Previous preclinical studies demonstrate that obesity in aging is associated with a heightened state of systemic inflammation, which exacerbates blood-brain barrier disruption, promoting neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. To test the hypothesis that synergistic effects of obesity and aging on inflammatory processes exert deleterious effects on hippocampal function, young and aged C57BL/6 mice were rendered obese by chronic feeding of a high-fat diet followed by assessment of learning and memory function, measurement of hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP), assessment of changes in hippocampal expression of genes relevant for synaptic function and determination of synaptic density. Because there is increasing evidence that altered production of lipid mediators modulate LTP, neuroinflammation and neurovascular coupling responses, the effects of obesity on hippocampal levels of relevant eicosanoid mediators were also assessed. We found that aging exacerbates obesity-induced microglia activation, which is associated with deficits in hippocampal-dependent learning and memory tests, impaired LTP, decreased synaptic density, and dysregulation of genes involved in regulation of synaptic plasticity. Obesity in aging also resulted in an altered hippocampal eicosanoid profile, including decreases in vasodilator and pro-LTP epoxy-eicosatrienoic acids (EETs). Collectively, our results taken together with previous findings suggest that obesity in aging promotes hippocampal inflammation, which in turn may contribute to synaptic dysfunction and cognitive impairment.

This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of arterial blood pH in obese ED patients with acute dyspnea in comparison to non-obese counterparts. + + METHODS: Single-center observational study of a cohort of 400 consecutive ED patients with acute dyspnea. The primary endpoint was a composite of Intensive Care Unit admission (with critical care needs) or in ED mortality. Predictors of the primary endpoint were assessed using multivariable logistic regression and ROC curve analysis, in obese (BMI>=30kg.m-2) and non-obese patients. + + RESULTS: 252 patients who had arterial blood gas testing were analyzed including 76 (30%) obese comparable to non-obese in terms of clinical history. 51 patients were admitted to ICU and 2 deceased before admission (20 obese (26%) vs 33 non-obese (19%); p=0.17). Factors associated with ICU admission were arterial blood pH (pH<7.36 vs pH>=7.36) and gender. In multivariate models adjusted for risk factors, pH remained the sole independent predictor in obese patients, with no predictive value in non-obese patients (ROC AUC: 0.74, 95% CI [0.60; 0.87], optimal threshold for pH: 7.36, odds ratio: 10.5 [95% CI 3.18; 34.68]). + + CONCLUSION: Arterial blood pH may selectively predict critical care needs in ED obese patients with acute dyspnea, in comparison to non-obese. A falsely reassuring pH<7.36 should be regarded as a marker of severity when assessing acute dyspnea in obese ED patients. Copyright © 2018.

However, few studies have investigated the independence of these associations in older community-dwelling populations. We therefore aimed to investigate the associations of body mass index (BMI) and inflammatory markers at age 60-64 with perceived physical fatigability at age 68 and to assess whether any such associations were independent of each other and potential confounding factors. A secondary aim was to investigate whether any association with BMI extended back into earlier adulthood. + + METHODS: Participants of the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (N = 1580) had BMI and levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) measured during clinical assessments at age 60-64. These were related to self-perceived physical fatigability assessed at age 68 using the Pittsburgh Fatigability Scale (PFS) (total score:0 (no physical fatigue)-50 (extreme physical fatigue)). + + RESUTS: Women had higher mean PFS scores than men (mean (SD): 16.0 (9.1) vs 13.2 (8.9), p < 0.01). In sex-adjusted models, BMI, CRP and IL-6 were each associated with PFS scores. When all three factors were included in the same model, BMI and IL-6 remained associated with PFS scores whereas CRP did not. After adjustment for a range of potential confounders, associations of BMI and IL-6 with PFS scores were still evident; fully adjusted differences in mean PFS score = 3.41 (95% CI: 0.59, 6.24) and 1.65 (0.46, 2.84) for underweight and obese participants when compared with normal weight and, 2.78 (1.65, 3.91) when comparing those with an IL-6 of 2.51-8.49 pg/mL with levels <1.50. + + CONCLUSIONS: BMI and inflammation may both be suitable targets for intervention to reduce the burden of physical fatigability in later life. Further, interventions that target both obesity and elevated levels of IL-6 are likely to be more effective than those focusing on only one. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-6). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Our aims were: (1) To determine whether obesity affects the release of extracellular nucleosomes in patients with pancreatitis; (2) To determine whether pancreatic ascites confers lipotoxicity and triggers the release of extracellular nucleosomes in lean and obese rats. + + METHODS: DNA and nucleosomes were determined in plasma from patients with mild or moderately severe acute pancreatitis either with normal or high body mass index (BMI). Lipids from pancreatic ascites from lean and obese rats were analyzed and the associated toxicity measured in vitro in RAW 264.7 macrophages. The inflammatory response, extracellular DNA and nucleosomes were determined in lean or obese rats with pancreatitis after peritoneal lavage. + + RESULTS: Nucleosome levels in plasma from obese patients with mild pancreatitis were higher than in normal BMI patients; these levels markedly increased in obese patients with moderately severe pancreatitis vs. those with normal BMI. Ascites from obese rats exhibited high levels of palmitic, oleic, stearic, and arachidonic acids. Necrosis and histone 4 citrullination-marker of extracellular traps-increased in macrophages incubated with ascites from obese rats but not with ascites from lean rats. Peritoneal lavage abrogated the increase in DNA and nucleosomes in plasma from lean or obese rats with pancreatitis. It prevented fat necrosis and induction of HIF-related genes in lung. + + CONCLUSIONS: Extracellular nucleosomes are intensely released in obese patients with acute pancreatitis.

Exercise prevents high fat (HF) diet-induced obesity and also improves bone density and prevents the intestinal dysbiosis that promotes energy storage. Previous studies indicate a link between intestinal microbial balance and bone health. Therefore, we examined whether exercise could prevent HF-induced bone pathology in male mice and determined whether benefits correlate to changes in host intestinal microbiota. Male C57Bl/6 mice were fed either a low fat diet (LF; 10kcal% fat) or a HF diet (60kcal% fat) and put under sedentary or voluntary exercise conditions for 14weeks. Our results indicated that HF diet reduced trabecular bone volume, when corrected for differences in body weight, of both the tibia (40% reduction) and vertebrae (25% reduction) as well and increased marrow adiposity (44% increase). More importantly, these effects were prevented by exercise. Exercise also had a significant effect on several cortical bone parameters and enhanced bone mechanical properties in LF but not HF fed mice. Microbiome analyses indicated that exercise altered the HF induced changes in microbial composition by reducing the Firmicutes/Bacteriodetes ratio. This ratio negatively correlated with bone volume as did levels of Clostridia and Lachnospiraceae. In contrast, the abundance of several Actinobacteria phylum members (i.e., Bifidobacteriaceae) were positively correlated with bone volume. Taken together, exercise can prevent many of the negative effects of a high fat diet on male skeletal health. Exercise induced changes in microbiota composition could represent a novel mechanism that contributes to exercise induced benefits to bone health. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

A total of 122 adult overweight and obese subjects were enrolled in the study for 6 months. Blood samples were collected at baseline and at the end of the intervention. The plasma metabolomic profile of 102 subjects was analyzed using three different approaches: GC/quadrupole-TOF, LC/quadrupole-TOF, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Both univariate and multivariate analysis were performed. Serine levels were significantly higher following the LGI diet compared to both the HGI and LF diets (q = 0.002), whereas leucine (q = 0.015) and valine (q = 0.024) were lower in the LGI diet compared to the LF diet. A set of two sphingomyelins, two lysophosphatidylcholines, and six phosphatidylcholines were significantly modulated after the LGI diet compared to the HGI and LF diets (q < 0.05). Significant correlations between changes in plasma amino acids and lipid species with changes in body weight, glucose, insulin, and some inflammatory markers are also reported. + + CONCLUSION: These results suggest that an LGI diet modulates certain circulating amino acids and lipid levels. These findings may explain the health benefits attributed to LGI diets in metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Copyright © 2018 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

We studied the effect of apelin treatment on obesity-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and possible interaction between apelin/APJ system and renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Forty eight male albino rats were divided into two groups: control group and diabetic group. Diabetic group was subdivided into: control diabetic, apelin-treated, apelin + losartan-treated, apelin + l-NAME-treated and losartan-treated diabetic subgroup. Administration of apelin-13 yielded an improvement of IR, dyslipidaemia, inflammation, oxidative stress with significant decrease in AT1R gene expression and significant increase in ACE2 gene expression in adipose tissues. Losartan + apelin yielded a further significant decrease in ATR1 gene expression, glycaemic indices, serum TGs and TPA versus Apelin only. Adding l-NAME in subgroup (2D) reversed the effect of apelin. We suggested that the beneficial effect of Apelin is mainly mediated by NO-activated pathway and/or ACE2/Ang (1-7) dependent pathway. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockers). 0 (Apelin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Enzyme Inhibitors). 0 (Insulin). 31C4KY9ESH (Nitric Oxide).

In the present study, the association of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with osteocalcin, C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX-I), highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), parathormon (PTH) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in elderly people was investigated. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 178 elderly residents in Tehran, with a mean age of 67.04 (60-83). Serum osteocalcin, hs-CRP, 25(OH) D, PTH and urine CTX-I were measured for all participants. Waist circumference, weight and height were measured and BMI was calculated. Linear regression and Pearson correlation were performed to evaluate the relation of BMI and waist circumference with other variables. A significant inverse association was found between BMI with osteocalcin (beta = - 0.171, p = 0.027) after control for covariates. In addition, there were a significant relation of BMI and WC with hs-CRP (beta = 0.246, p = 0.002 and beta = 0.219, p = 0.006, respectively) and PTH (beta = 0.1169, p = 0.040 and beta = 0.200, p = 0.018), respectively. The present study did not show a significant relation of BMI and WC with urine CTX-I even after adjustment for potential confounders (beta = - 0.143, p = 0.065 and beta = - 0.104, p = 0.183, respectively). The present study has concluded that obesity is an undesirable factor for bone metabolism by reducing serum osteocalcin and by increasing hs-CRP and PTH which contribute to bone resorption. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Collagen Type I). 0 (Peptides). 0 (collagen type I trimeric cross-linked peptide). 104982-03-8 (Osteocalcin). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein).

Anthropometric and body composition assessment, as well as biochemical profile of the children was performed. Socioeconomic variables and sedentary lifestyle were evaluated through a semi-structured questionnaire. + + RESULTS: Many children had excess weight (35.2%), abdominal adiposity (10.5%), and body fat (15.6%), as well as increased ApoB/ApoA1 ratio (14.7%), total cholesterol (51.8%), and triglycerides (19.8%). Children with excess weight and total and central fat had a higher prevalence of having a higher ApoB/ApoA1 ratio, as well as those with atherogenic lipid profile (increased LDL-c and triglycerides and low HDL-c). A direct association was found between the number of cardiovascular risk factors and the ApoB/ApoA1 ratio (p=0.001), regardless of age and income. + + CONCLUSION: The increased ApoB/ApoA1 ratio was associated with excess weight, body adiposity (total and central), and altered lipid profile in children. Children with a higher number of cardiovascular risk factors had higher ApoB/ApoA1 ratio, in both genders. Copyright © 2018 Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria. Published by Elsevier Editora Ltda.

Associations between adiponectin levels and body composition, weight loss, and physical functioning were assessed in multivariable linear regression models. Associations between adiponectin and incident disability and mortality were assessed in mediation analyses, adjusting for other factors. + + Results: Greater adiponectin at baseline was independently associated with low FMI Z-score, lower waist circumference, low ALMI Z-score, low muscle density, a history of weight loss, and poor physical functioning (all p < .05). Greater adiponectin levels (per SD) were associated with incident disability [HR: 1.14 (1.08, 1.20), p < .001] and greater mortality [HR: 1.17 (1.10, 1.25), p < .001] in models adjusting for demographic factors, adiposity, and comorbid conditions. The association was completely attenuated and no longer significant (all p > 0.05) when adjusting for body composition, muscle density, weight loss, and physical functioning at baseline. + + Conclusions: Greater serum adiponectin levels are associated with historical weight loss, low skeletal muscle mass, low muscle density, and poor physical functioning. High adiponectin is associated with a greater risk of incident disability and death, but not independently of these factors. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

DE in obesity can jeopardize weight-loss results, and acyl ghrelin (AG) is a hormone that stimulates food intake and reward processes. The main study objective was to determine whether higher-than-expected concentrations of AG in common obesity are associated with DE symptoms. + + METHODS: The study population included 84 women, aged 20-55 years, free of established EDs: 55 were severely obese (OB) and 29 were of normal weight (NW). OB participants were stratified into two groups according to their median concentration of fasting AG distribution. The OB women with a high fasting plasma ghrelin concentration (HGC) were compared with both OB women with a low fasting plasma ghrelin concentration (LGC) and NW women. Participants were assessed by the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI-2), Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Fasting glucose, insulin, leptin and ghrelin plasma concentrations were also quantified. + + RESULTS: Between the two AG groups of OB women, there was no statistical difference in either anthropometric or metabolic parameters, HADS, TFEQ or fasting hunger scores. However, the HGC group scored significantly higher than the LGC group on the drive-for-thinness subscale of EDI-2 (9.30+/-0.99 vs. 6.46+/-0.83, respectively; P=0.033). + + CONCLUSION: Results support the hypothesis of a potential relationship between fasting plasma AG concentrations and ED risk, regardless of mood and anxiety. AG may be considered a potential biomarker of vulnerability for developing EDs. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Until now, the existence of this phenomenon among a general population of consecutive inpatients has not been evaluated. We decided, therefore, to perform an evaluation. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: Historical prospective analysis of the medical documentation of 23 603 hospitalizations during two consecutive years in one center was performed. The outcomes measured were as follows: length of stay, in-hospital all-cause mortality, and non-scheduled readmission in the 14-day, 30-day and one-year periods following discharge. + + RESULTS: Overweight and obese patients had a lower or similar prevalence of the measured outcomes than malnourished patients and those of normal weight. Adjustment of the standard WHO BMI ranges for patients aged >=65 y (normal weight BMI range 23-33 kg/m2) made these differences more apparent. In logistic regression, the ratio of fat to fat-free body mass was a stronger and unfavorable risk factor compared with BMI for the measured outcomes. + + CONCLUSIONS: The greatest risk of all-cause in-hospital death and readmission concerned malnourished inpatients. Compared to patients with a normal BMI range, overweight and obesity had a lower or similar (but not greater) risk of the outcomes measured. However, due to several BMI limitations, our observations should be interpreted as suggesting a "BMI paradox", rather than an "obesity paradox".

The incidence of PDAC is expected to increase, at least partially because of the obesity epidemic. Increased efforts to prevent or intercept this disease are clearly needed. Mutations in KRAS are initiating events in pancreatic carcinogenesis supported by genetically engineered mouse models of the disease. However, oncogenic KRAS is not entirely sufficient for the development of fully invasive PDAC. Additional genetic mutations and/or environmental, nutritional, and metabolic stressors, e.g. inflammation and obesity, are required for efficient PDAC formation with activation of KRAS downstream effectors. Multiple factors "upstream" of KRAS associated with obesity, including insulin resistance, inflammation, changes in gut microbiota and GI peptides, can enhance/modulate downstream signals. Multiple signaling networks and feedback loops "downstream" of KRAS have been described that respond to obesogenic diets. We propose that KRAS mutations potentiate a signaling network that is promoted by environmental factors. Specifically, we envisage that KRAS mutations increase the intensity and duration of the growth-promoting signaling network. As the transcriptional activator YAP plays a critical role in the network, we conclude that the rationale for targeting the network (at different points), e.g. with FDA approved drugs such as statins and metformin, is therefore compelling.

This article introduces one such a design, called multistage pair ranked set sampling. It mitigates ranking burden associated with a competitor scheme, namely multistage ranked set sampling. The mean estimator in multistage pair ranked set sampling is unbiased, and under perfect rankings has variance no larger than its simple random sampling counterpart. Although the suggested mean estimator is outperformed by its multistage ranked set sampling analog in terms of precision under perfect rankings, the situation may be reversed if cost considerations are taken into account. The methodology is illustrated using a medical dataset. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1177%2f0962280217720473 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Mahdizadeh&issn=0962-2802&title=Statistical+Methods+in+Medical+Research&atitle=Efficient+body+fat+estimation+using+multistage+pair+ranked+set+sampling.&volume=28&issue=1&spage=223&epage=234&date=2019&doi=10.1177%2F0962280217720473&pmid=28718392&sid=OVID:medline + +<1939> +Unique Identifier + 32743649 +Title + Intraindividual double burden of overweight or obesity and micronutrient deficiencies or anemia among women of reproductive age in 17 population-based surveys. +Source + American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 112(Suppl 1):468S-477S, 2019 08 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Williams AM; Guo J; Addo OY; Ismaily S; Namaste SML; Oaks BM; Rohner F; Suchdev PS; Young MF; Flores-Ayala R; Engle-Stone R +Authors Full Name + Williams, Anne M; Guo, Junjie; Addo, O Yaw; Ismaily, Sanober; Namaste, Sorrel M L; Oaks, Brietta M; Rohner, Fabian; Suchdev, Parminder S; Young, Melissa F; Flores-Ayala, Rafael; Engle-Stone, Reina. +Institution + Williams, Anne M.

OWOB and micronutrient deficiencies or anemia were independent in most surveys. Where associations existed, OWOB was negatively associated with micronutrient deficiencies and anemia in LMICs. In 1 high-income country, OWOB women were more likely to experience micronutrient deficiencies and anemia. Age was consistently positively associated with OWOB and the DBM, whereas the associations with other sociodemographic characteristics varied. Higher socioeconomic status tended to be positively associated with OWOB and the DBM in LMICs, whereas in higher-income countries the association was reversed. + + CONCLUSIONS: The independence of OWOB and micronutrient deficiencies or anemia within individuals suggests that these forms of over- and undernutrition may have unique etiologies. Decision-makers should still consider the prevalence, consequences, and etiology of the individual components of the DBM as programs move towards double-duty interventions aimed at addressing OWOB and undernutrition simultaneously.

Vitamin D metabolites affect insulin sensitivity of cells. + + THE AIM OF THE STUDY: was to determine the relationship between vitamin D and carbohydrate metabolism in adolescents with excessive body weight and obesi-ty. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: 139 adolescents were examined. The mean age of children was 15.5 +/-2.3 years. 65 adolescents with excessive weight and 74 obesity teenagers were examined. Parameters that were determined in all children included: undertaking anthropometric measurements, general examinations, biochemical parameters, including carbohydrate metabolism: fasting glucose, insulin, oral glucose tolerant test, measuring the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, blood pressure measurement and determination of vitamin D status. + + RESULTS: The features of changes carbohydrate metabolism markers in adolescents with overweight and obesity, depending on the level of serum 25(OH)D, have been established. Correlations between vitamin D status and markers of carbohydrate metabolism such as basal insulin level (p = 0.000) and HOMA-IR index (p = 0.000) and anthropometric indices: body mass index (p = 0.000), waist circumference (p = 0.000) and hip circumference (p = 0.001), waist-hip ratio (p = 0.000), waist-to-height ratio (p = 0.000) have been determined. + + CONCLUSIONS: The study has established prognostically significant biochemical (basal insulin), and anthropometric (body mass index, waist circumfer-ence, waist-hip ratio, and waist-to-height ratio) markers resulting in vitamin D deficiency development in children with excessive body weight and obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D).

All participants were divided into two equal groups: The first group received aerobic exercise training on treadmill where, the second group received resisted exercise training. Health-related quality of life (SF-36 HRQL), tumor necrosis factor- alpha(TNF-alpha), Interleukin-2(IL-2), Interleukin-4 (IL-4), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after 3 months at the end of the study. + + RESULTS: The mean values of SF-36 HRQL subscale scores were significantly increased, while the mean value of TNF-alpha, Il-2, IL-4, IL-6, CRP and BMI were significantly decreased in both groups after treatments. There were significant differences between mean levels of the investigated parameters in group (A) and group (B) after treatment with more changes in patients received aerobic exercise training. + + CONCLUSION: The current study provides evidence that aerobic exercise is more appropriate than resisted exercise training in modulating inflammatory cytokines and quality of life among obese post-menopausal women.

The presence of chronic, low-grade inflammation appears to be an important mechanistic link between excess nutrients and clinical disease. The onset of these metabolic disorders coincides with changes in the number and phenotype of macrophages in peripheral organs, particularly in the liver and adipose tissue. Macrophage accumulation in these tissues has been implicated in tissue inflammation and fibrosis, contributing to metabolic disease progression. Recently, the concept has emerged that changes in macrophage metabolism affects their functional phenotype, possibly triggered by distinct environmental metabolic cues. This may be of particular importance in the setting of obesity, where both liver and adipose tissue are faced with a high metabolic burden. In the first part of this review we will discuss current knowledge regarding macrophage dynamics in both adipose tissue and liver in obesity. Then in the second part, we will highlight data linking macrophage metabolism to functional phenotype with an emphasis on macrophage activation in metabolic disease. The importance of understanding how tissue niche influences macrophage function in obesity will be highlighted. In addition, we will identify important knowledge gaps and outstanding questions that are relevant for future research in this area and will facilitate the identification of novel targets for therapeutic intervention in associated metabolic diseases.

Participants (n=125) underwent anthropometric, dietary, physical activity and lifestyle evaluation. Blood sampling for determination of blood lipid indices, glucose metabolism, adiponectin, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), inflammation and oxidative stress parameters was also performed. Stool A. muciniphila presence and levels were determined by quantitative PCR and subjects were grouped based on bimodal distribution of levels (Low vs High). A. muciniphila was detected in 88.6% of participants. Overweight/obese (OW/OB) subjects were more prone in low bimodal levels of A. muciniphila compared to normal-weight (NW) individuals (58.75 vs 27.59%, P=0.004), with a 4-time greater likelihood after multi-adjusted logistic regression analysis (P=0.016). Levels of A. muciniphila were negatively associated with total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL-C) ratio (log10:-0.009+/-0.004, P=0.033), whereas detection of this bacterium was negatively associated with both TC/HDL-C ratio (log10: -0.049+/-0.023, P=0.036) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/HDL-C ratio (-0.407+/-0.176, P=0.023). Furthermore, low bimodal levels of A. muciniphila were positively associated with fasting blood glucose (log10: 0.018+/-0.009, P=0.037). In terms of inflammation markers, levels of A. muciniphila were positively associated with soluble cluster of differentiation-14 (sCD14) (log10: 0.012+/-0.004, P=0.003) and faecal detection of this bacterium had a positive association with anti-inflammatory interleukin 10 levels (log10: 0.325+/-0.131, P=0.015). In addition, A. muciniphila levels were positively associated with total adiponectin (log10: 0.046+/-0.015, P=0.002), whereas low bimodal levels of A. muciniphila had an inverse relationship with this blood marker (log10: -0.131+/-0.053, P=0.016). In conclusion, we confirmed the previously reported association of A. muciniphila with metabolic health for the first time in a Greek urban population; furthermore, we shed some light to novel atherosclerotic risk markers with rather unexplored connections with A. muciniphila colonisation patterns in human subjects. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (IL10 protein, human). 0 (IL6 protein, human). 0 (Interleukin-6). 130068-27-8 (Interleukin-10). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3920%2fBM2019.0033 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Mitsou&issn=1876-2883&title=Beneficial+Microbes&atitle=Mining+possible+associations+of+faecal+A.+muciniphila+colonisation+patterns+with+host+adiposity+and+cardiometabolic+markers+in+an+adult+population.&volume=10&issue=7&spage=741&epage=749&date=2019&doi=10.3920%2FBM2019.0033&pmid=31965843&sid=OVID:medline + +<1944> +Unique Identifier + 31933238 +Title + Applying Non-Invasive Fibrosis Measurements in NAFLD/NASH: Progress to Date.

It is the most common form of chronic liver disease in the United States. NAFLD constitutes a spectrum of diseases ranging in severity from mild, such as fatty liver, progressing into nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), then fibrosis, and ending with cirrhosis. NASH and increasing fibrosis stage are associated with increased morbidity and mortality; the fibrosis stage is therefore a critical element of risk stratification needed to determine therapeutic approach and also the response to treatment. Liver biopsy is considered the 'gold standard' in the diagnosis of NAFLD. However, it is not practical for widespread clinical use because it is invasive, costly, and associated with complications including occasional death. These limitations have driven the development of noninvasive tests that can accurately predict the fibrosis stage in those with NAFLD. In this review, we provide a concise overview of different non-invasive measurements used for NAFLD/NASH. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Circulating MicroRNA). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Adult stem cells play a major role in remodeling and tissue regeneration. In this review we will focus mainly on two adult stem/progenitor cells such as endothelial progenitor cells and mesenchymal stromal cells in relation to aerobic exercise and diabetes medications, both of which can alter the course of regeneration and tissue remodelling. These two adult precursor and stem cells are easily obtained from peripheral blood or adipose tissue depots, as the case may be and are precursors to endothelium and mesenchymal tissue (fat, bone, muscle, and cartilage). They both are key players in maintenance of cardiovascular and metabolic homeostasis and can act also as useful biomarkers.

Elevated serum Immunoglobulin A (IgA) concentrations have been identified in previous studies in populations with obesity and hypertriglyceridemia, whereas variable concentrations of Immunoglobulin M (IgM) have been observed in the setting of dyslipidemia. + + METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, investigators examined the association of serum Ig concentrations with components of metabolic syndrome, including obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. All consecutive adult patients aged 18 years or older discharged from two academic teaching hospitals with serum Immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration measured during their admission were evaluated, with a total of 1809 individuals included and stratified into two groups: those with and those without dyslipidemia. + + RESULTS: Mean IgG concentration in individuals with and without dyslipidemia was 997 +/- 485 mg/dL and 1144 +/- 677 mg/dL, respectively (P < 0.0001). After controlling for confounders in the generalized linear model (GLM), the least square mean IgG concentration in individuals with and without dyslipidemia was 1095 and 1239 mg/dL, respectively (P < 0.0001). The mean IgA and IgM concentrations were not significantly different in individuals with and without dyslipidemia both before and after adjusting covariates. After controlling for confounding variables, all three serum Ig concentrations were not significantly different in individuals with and without diabetes. + + CONCLUSION: Dyslipidemia was associated with a lower mean serum IgG concentration. No association with any serum Ig was indentified in individuals with diabetes. Exploration of the association between alterations in serum Igs and metabolic syndrome and the role of alterations of Ig concentrations in disease progression represents an important step in identification of appropriate targeted treatment options for reducing cardiovascular risk. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Immunoglobulin A). 0 (Immunoglobulin G). 0 (Immunoglobulin M). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Amaranth oil (AmO) has potential hypolipidemic and antiatherogenic effects. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of AmO and rapeseed oil (RaO) supplementation on expression of early markers of AT and lipid profile in obese or overweight subjects. + + METHODS: A randomized, double-blinded cross-over study was conducted, in which participants took 20 mL of AmO in the first arm and 20 mL RaO in the second arm, switching after the washout period. Serum concentrations of adhesion molecules (sP-selectin, sVCAM-1), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), and lipid profile were assessed before and after nutritional interventions. In addition, anthropometric parameters were measured. + + RESULTS: The total (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations increased significantly in the AmO group in comparison with RaO (DELTATC 5.52 +/- 35 vs. -8.43 +/- 17.65 mg/dL; p = 0.002 and 4.43 +/- 34.96 vs. -7.55 +/- 16.41 mg/dL; p = 0.002, respectively). There were no significant differences in other parameters analyzed between the groups. + + CONCLUSION: The use of AmO instead of RaO may increase cardiovascular risk in obese and overweight subjects. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Plant Oils). 0 (Rapeseed Oil). 97C5T2UQ7J (Cholesterol). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

While some probiotics have protective effects against diet-induced obesity, the role of probiotics in adipose browning has not been explored. Here, we show that administration of the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus amylovorus KU4 (LKU4) to mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) enhanced mitochondrial levels and function, as well as the thermogenic gene program (increased Ucp1, PPARgamma, and PGC-1alpha expression and decreased RIP140 expression), in subcutaneous inguinal WAT and also increased body temperature. Furthermore, LKU4 administration increased the interaction between PPARgamma and PGC-1alpha through release of RIP140 to stimulate Ucp1 expression, thereby promoting browning of white adipocytes. In addition, lactate, the levels of which are elevated in plasma of HFD-fed mice following LKU4 administration, elicited the same effect on the interaction between PPARgamma and PGC-1alpha in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, leading to a brown-like adipocyte phenotype that included enhanced Ucp1 expression, mitochondrial levels and function, and oxygen consumption rate. Together, these data reveal that LKU4 facilitates browning of white adipocytes through the PPARgamma-PGC-1alpha transcriptional complex, at least in part by increasing lactate levels, leading to inhibition of diet-induced obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (PPAR gamma). 0 (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Coactivator 1-alpha). 0 (Ppargc1a protein, mouse). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

After additional adjustment for fat mass index, most of these associations remain significantly positive. In boys, SAT had greater ORs for all risk factors compared with VAT; in girls, however, SAT had greater odds for high triglycerides, smaller odds for high low-density lipid cholesterol, and similar odds for other risk factors compared with VAT. In addition, boys had greater magnitude of associations of SAT with high total cholesterol, high low-density lipid cholesterol, and low high-density lipid cholesterol compared with girls; no sex differences for VAT were observed. + + Conclusions: Both abdominal VAT and SAT have adverse impacts on most of the cardiometabolic risk factors in youth.

The relationship between obesity and stress is biological through the actions of stress on the major hormones that regulate appetite (leptin and ghrelin). Many spa resorts in France specialise in the treatment of obesity, but no thermal spa currently proposes a specific programme to manage stress in obesity. The ObesiStress protocol has been designed to offer a new residential stress management programme. This thermal spa treatment of obesity implements stress management strategies as suggested by international recommendations. + + METHODS AND ANALYSIS: 140 overweight or obese participants with a Body Mass Index of >25 kg/m2 and aged over 18 years will be recruited. Participants will be randomised into two groups: a control group of usual practice (restrictive diet, physical activity and thermal spa treatment) and an intervention group with stress management in addition to the usual practice. In the present protocol, parameters will be measured on five occasions (at inclusion, at the beginning of the spa (day 0), at the end of the spa (day 21), and at 6 and 12 months). The study will assess the participants' heart rate variability, cardiac remodelling and function, electrodermal activity, blood markers, anthropometric profile, body composition, psychology and quality of life via the use of questionnaires and bone parameters. + + ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The ObesiStress protocol complies with the ethics guidelines for Clinical Research and has been approved by the ethics committee (CPP Sud-Est VI, Clermont-Ferrand - ANSM: 2016-A01774-47). This study aimed to highlight the efficacy of a 21-day thermal spa residential programme of stress management in obesity through objective measurements of well-being and cardiovascular morbidity. Results will be disseminated during several research conferences and articles published in peer-reviewed journals. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03578757.

The present study was to explore the relationship between serum uric acid and metabolic syndrome-related risk factors among 409 obese Chinese adults (254 women and 155 men) with >24 kg/m2 BMI. Based on sex-specific reference ranges, 233 (57%) patients showed elevated serum uric acid. A total of 15 attributes were selected to assess the associations between elevated serum uric acid and components of metabolic syndrome, including serum uric acid, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, triglyceride, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, HOMA-IR, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, urine microalbumin, muscle mass amount, BMI, and age. Among the participants stratified into three groups of grade I, grade II, and grade III obesity, as well as among the participants stratified into male and female groups, univariate correlation analysis identified a negative association (P < 0.01) for age, positive associations (P < 0.01) for BMI, muscle mass, alanine aminotransferase, and creatinine. The stepwise multivariate logistic regression proved similar associations for age, BMI, creatinine, and alanine aminotransferase. No significant associations were testified between serum uric acid levels and cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, HOMA-IR, and urine microalbumin. Factor analysis illustrated that 15 attributes could be grouped into two common factors and five individual factors. A common underlying factor was identified among uric acid, muscle mass, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, and BMI. The results indicate that serum uric acid has no apparent association with metabolic syndromes that are commonly characterized by hypertension, dyslipidemia, and T2DM.

However, a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory mechanisms mediating WAT browning is still lacking. Here, we exploit the large natural variation in WAT browning propensity between inbred mouse strains to gain an inclusive view of the core regulatory network coordinating this cellular process. Combining comparative transcriptomics, perturbation-based validations, and gene network analyses, we present a comprehensive gene regulatory network of inguinal WAT browning, revealing up to four distinct regulatory modules with key roles for uncovered transcriptional factors, while also providing deep insights into the genetic architecture of brite adipogenesis. The presented findings therefore greatly increase our understanding of the molecular drivers mediating the intriguing cellular heterogeneity and plasticity of adipose tissue.

In old and obese women, metabolic derangement affecting fetal growth might be present earlier than the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or even before pregnancy. We thus investigated whether GDM diagnosed at 24-28 weeks of gestation had already affected fetal abdominal growth and, if so, whether elderly pregnancy and/or maternal obesity aggravate fetal abdominal obesity. + + METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 7820 singleton pregnant women who had been universally screened using a 50-g glucose challenge test (GCT) at 24-28 weeks of gestation, and underwent a 3-h 100-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) if GCT were >=140mg/dl. GDM and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were diagnosed using the Carpenter-Coustan criteria. Fetal abdominal obesity was investigated by assessing the fetal abdominal overgrowth ratios (FAORs) of the ultrasonographically estimated gestational age (GA) of abdominal circumference per actual GA by the last menstruation period, biparietal diameter or femur length, respectively. Fetal abdominal overgrowth was defined as FAOR >= 90th percentile. The subjects were divided into four study groups: group 1 (age < 35 years and pre-pregnancy body mass index [BMI] < 25 kg/m2), group 2 (age < 35 years and >= 25), group 3 (age >= 35 years and BMI < 25), and group 4 (age >= 35 years and >= 25). + + RESULTS: The overall prevalence of GDM was 5.1%, with old and obese group 4 exhibiting the highest prevalence (22.4%). FAORs were significantly higher in the fetus of those with GDM than in the NGT subjects. But, in the subgroup analysis, only old and nonobese group 3 and old and obese group 4 with GDM exhibited significantly higher FAORs than the NGT subjects. Also, risk of fetal abdominal overgrowth was increased in group 3 and 4 subjects with GDM but not in young and nonobese group 1 GDM. The risk of fetal abdominal overgrowth significantly increased with maternal age >35 years, pre-pregnancy BMI >20kg/m2, and HbA1c >37.7 mmol/mol (5.6%). In multivariate analyses, maternal age and HbA1c were significantly associated with FAORs. + + CONCLUSION: GDM diagnosed at 24-28 weeks of gestation already affected fetal abdominal obesity in older and/or obese women, but not in younger and nonobese women. Our data suggest that selective screening and appropriate intervention of GDM earlier than 24-28 weeks of gestation might be necessary for high-risk old and/or obese women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1371%2fjournal.pone.0225955 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Kim&issn=1932-6203&title=PLoS+ONE+%5BElectronic+Resource%5D&atitle=Gestational+diabetes+mellitus+diagnosed+at+24+to+28+weeks+of+gestation+in+older+and+obese+Women%3A+Is+it+too+late%3F.&volume=14&issue=12&spage=e0225955&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0225955&pmid=31841546&sid=OVID:medline + +<1956> +Unique Identifier + 31835508 +Title + Twelve Weeks of Combined Resistance and Aerobic Exercise Improves Cardiometabolic Biomarkers and Enhances Red Blood Cell Hemorheological Function in Obese Older Men: A Randomized Controlled Trial. +Source + International Journal of Environmental Research & Public Health [Electronic Resource]. 16(24), 2019 12 10. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kim SW; Jung WS; Park W; Park HY +Author NameID + Park, Wonil; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1623-6398 + Park, Hun-Young; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9901-7624 +Authors Full Name + Kim, Sung-Woo; Jung, Won-Sang; Park, Wonil; Park, Hun-Young. +Institution + Kim, Sung-Woo.

Subjects were randomly divided into two groups (exercise intervention [EXP; n = 10] and control [CON; n = 10]). The EXP subjects performed resistance and aerobic exercise training program three times per week for 12 weeks, and the CON subjects maintained their regular lifestyle during the intervention period. Body composition was estimated using bioelectrical impedance analysis equipment. Cardiometabolic biomarkers (glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), HOMA beta-cell function, and leptin) and RBC hemorheological parameters (RBC deformability and aggregation) were analyzed. Percent body fat decreased significantly in the EXP group during the intervention period but increased significantly in the CON group. Insulin increased significantly in the CON group over the 12-week period and both insulin and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in the CON group than in the EXP group at post-test. RBC deformability (RBC EI_3Pa) and aggregation (RBC AI_3Pa) improved significantly only in the EXP group. The present study suggests that combined exercise training can be useful for improving cardiometabolic biomarkers and RBC hemorheological parameters in obese older men and may help prevent metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Leptin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Anacetrapib demonstrates a long terminal half-life and accumulates in adipose tissue, which contributes to a long residence time of anacetrapib. Given our previous report that anacetrapib distributes into the lipid droplet of adipose tissue, we sought to understand whether anacetrapib affected adipose function, using a diet-induced obese (DIO) mouse model. Following 20 weeks of treatment with anacetrapib (100 mg/kg/day), levels of the drug increased to approximately 0.6 mmol/L in white adipose tissue. This level of anacetrapib was not associated with any impairment in adipose functionality as evidenced by a lack of any reduction in biomarkers of adipose functionality (plasma adiponectin, leptin, insulin; adipose adiponectin, leptin mRNA). In DIO wild-type (WT) mice treated with anacetrapib for 2 weeks and then subjected to 30% food restriction during washout to induce weight loss (18%) and fat mass loss (7%), levels of anacetrapib in adipose and plasma were not different between food restricted and ad lib-fed mice. These data indicate that despite deposition and long-term residence of ~0.6 mmol/L levels of anacetrapib in adipose tissue, adipose tissue function appears to be unaffected in mice. In addition, these data also indicate that even with severe caloric restriction and acute loss of fat mass, anacetrapib does not appear to be mobilized from the fat depot, thereby solidifying the role of adipose as a long-term storage site of anacetrapib.

The aim of the study was to determine the value of MR-proANP as a clinical biomarker in critical illness and/or sepsis. Upon admission to the medical intensive care unit (ICU), we investigated MR-proANP plasma concentrations in 217 critically ill patients (144 with sepsis, 73 without sepsis). Results were compared with 65 healthy controls. + + RESULTS: MR-proANP plasma levels were significantly elevated in critically ill patients, when compared to healthy controls. Notably, MR-proANP levels were significantly higher in ICU patients with sepsis. MR-proANP levels were not associated with metabolic comorbidities like diabetes or obesity. In critically ill patients, MR-proANP plasma concentrations correlated with inflammatory cytokines, markers of organ dysfunction and several adipocytokines, such as resistin, retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and adiponectin. Importantly, high MR-proANP plasma levels were associated with mortality, as MR-proANP levels above 227.0 pmol/l indicated a particularly increased mortality risk in ICU patients. The association between MR-proANP and mortality was independent of single organ failure and inflammation markers. + + CONCLUSION: Our study emphasizes the role of circulating MR-proANP as a biomarker in critically ill patients, in which high MR-proANP indicates organ dysfunction, sepsis and mortality risk. The association between high MR-proANP and inflammatory as well as adipose tissue-derived endocrine mediators warrants further pathophysiological investigations. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 114471-18-0 (Natriuretic Peptide, Brain). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Usually, the first two or three components from PCA are used to determine whether individuals can be clustered into two classification groups based on pre-determined criteria: control and disease group. However, a combination of other components may exist which better distinguish diseased individuals from healthy controls. Genetic algorithms (GAs) can be useful and efficient for searching the best combination of variables to build a prediction model. This study aimed to develop a prediction model that combines PCA and a genetic algorithm (GA) for identifying sets of bacterial species associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome (Mets). + + RESULTS: The prediction models built using the combination of principal components (PCs) selected by GA were compared to the models built using the top PCs that explained the most variance in the sample and to models built with selected original variables. The advantages of combining PCA with GA were demonstrated. + + CONCLUSIONS: The proposed algorithm overcomes the limitation of PCA for data analysis. It offers a new way to build prediction models that may improve the prediction accuracy. The variables included in the PCs that were selected by GA can be combined with flexibility for potential clinical applications. The algorithm can be useful for many biological studies where high dimensional data are collected with highly correlated variables. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1186%2fs12859-019-3001-4 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Zhang&issn=1471-2105&title=BMC+Bioinformatics&atitle=Selection+of+microbial+biomarkers+with+genetic+algorithm+and+principal+component+analysis.&volume=20&issue=6&spage=413&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1186%2Fs12859-019-3001-4&pmid=31823717&sid=OVID:medline + +<1960> +Unique Identifier + 31823713 +Title + A correlation-based network for biomarker discovery in obesity with metabolic syndrome. +Source + BMC Bioinformatics. 20(Suppl 6):477, 2019 Dec 10. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Chen PY; Cripps AW; West NP; Cox AJ; Zhang P +Author NameID + Chen, Pin-Yen; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-2187-6939 +Authors Full Name + Chen, Pin-Yen; Cripps, Allan W; West, Nicholas P; Cox, Amanda J; Zhang, Ping. +Institution + Chen, Pin-Yen.

As yet, no biomarker profile has been found to distinguish individuals at greater risk of obesity-related disease. The aim of this study was to explore a correlation-based network approach to identify existing patterns of immune-microbiome interactions in obesity. + + RESULTS: The current study performed correlation-based network analysis on five different datasets obtained from 11 obese with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and 12 healthy weight men. These datasets included: anthropometric measures, metabolic measures, immune cell abundance, serum cytokine concentration, and gut microbial composition. The obese with MetS group had a denser network (total number of edges, n = 369) compared to the healthy network (n = 299). Within the obese with MetS network, biomarkers from the immune cell abundance group was found to be correlated to biomarkers from all four other datasets. Conversely in the healthy network, immune cell abundance was only correlated with serum cytokine concentration and gut microbial composition. These observations suggest high involvement of immune cells in obese with MetS individuals. There were also three key hubs found among immune cells in the obese with MetS networks involving regulatory T cells, neutrophil and cytotoxic cell abundance. No hubs were present in the healthy network. + + CONCLUSION: These results suggest a more complex interaction of inflammatory markers in obesity, with high connectivity of immune cells in the obese with MetS network compared to the healthy network. Three key hubs were identified in the obese with MetS network, involving Treg, neutrophils and cytotoxic cell abundance. Compared to a t-test, the network approach offered more meaningful results when comparing obese with MetS and healthy weight individuals, demonstrating its superiority in exploratory analysis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1186%2fs12859-019-3064-2 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Chen&issn=1471-2105&title=BMC+Bioinformatics&atitle=A+correlation-based+network+for+biomarker+discovery+in+obesity+with+metabolic+syndrome.&volume=20&issue=6&spage=477&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1186%2Fs12859-019-3064-2&pmid=31823713&sid=OVID:medline + +<1961> +Unique Identifier + 31822763 +Title + Obesity is associated with shorter telomeres in 8 year-old children. +Source + Scientific Reports. 9(1):18739, 2019 12 10. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Clemente DBP; Maitre L; Bustamante M; Chatzi L; Roumeliotaki T; Fossati S; Grazuleviciene R; Gutzkow KB; Lepeule J; Martens DS; McEachan RRC; Meltzer HM; Petraviciene I; Slama R; Tamayo-Uria I; Urquiza J; Vafeiadi M; Wright J; Nawrot TS; Vrijheid M +Author NameID + Clemente, Diana B P; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8636-5304 + Maitre, Lea; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-3682-7117 + Fossati, Serena; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-7484-5837 + Lepeule, Johanna; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8907-197X + Martens, Dries S; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7893-3642 +Authors Full Name + Clemente, Diana B P; Maitre, Lea; Bustamante, Mariona; Chatzi, Leda; Roumeliotaki, Theano; Fossati, Serena; Grazuleviciene, Regina; Gutzkow, Kristine B; Lepeule, Johanna; Martens, Dries S; McEachan, Rosie R C; Meltzer, Helle M; Petraviciene, Inga; Slama, Remy; Tamayo-Uria, Ibon; Urquiza, Jose; Vafeiadi, Marina; Wright, John; Nawrot, Tim S; Vrijheid, Martine. +Institution + Clemente, Diana B P.

Shorter telomeres and obesity have both been associated with age-related diseases. To evaluate the association between various indices of obesity with leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in childhood, data from 1,396 mother-child pairs of the multi-centre European birth cohort study HELIX were used. Maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and 4 adiposity markers in children at age 8 (6-11) years were assessed: BMI, fat mass, waist circumference, and skinfold thickness. Relative LTL was obtained. Associations of LTL with each adiposity marker were calculated using linear mixed models with a random cohort effect. For each 1 kg/m2 increment in maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, the child's LTL was 0.23% shorter (95%CI: 0.01,0.46%). Each unit increase in child BMI z-score was associated with 1.21% (95%CI: 0.30,2.11%) shorter LTL. Inverse associations were observed between waist circumference and LTL (-0.96% per z-score unit; 95%CI: -2.06,0.16%), and skinfold thickness and LTL (-0.10% per z-score unit; 95%CI: -0.23,0.02%). In conclusion, this large multicentric study suggests that higher child adiposity indicators are associated with short telomeres in children, and that associations are stronger for child BMI than for maternal pre-pregnancy BMI. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

These two processes are of great interest because both are associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. However, despite the great relevance of the role of miRNAs in obesity and adipose tissue, no qualitative and quantitative analysis on the subject has been performed. Thus, we aimed to examine global research activity and current trends with respect to the interaction between obesity, adipose tissue and miRNAs through a bibliometric analysis. This research was performed on the Scopus database for publications containing miRNA, obesity, and adipose tissue keyword combinations. In total, 898 articles were analyzed and the most frequently occurring keywords were selected and clustered into three well-defined groups. As a result, first group of keywords pointed to the research area on miRNAs expressed in obesity-associated diseases. The second group demonstrated the regulation of the adipogenesis process by miRNAs, while the third group highlighted brown adipose tissue and thermogenesis as one of the latest global research trends related to the theme. The studies selected in this paper describe the expression and performance of different miRNAs in obesity and comorbidities. Most studies have focused on identifying miRNAs and signaling pathways associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease.

For six months, the patients received six sessions, either one-to-one individual nutrition education (IE, n = 89) or group education (GE, n = 81), developed by dietitians. Anthropometric measurements, body composition, and fasting measures of biochemical parameters were obtained at baseline and after six months of intervention. + + RESULTS: 150 patients completed the nutrition education program. The IE group significantly improved in many parameters compared to the GE group, including weight (p < 0.001), waist circumference (p < 0.001), BMI (p < 0.001), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) (p < 0.001), fasting plasma glucose (p = 0.011), oral glucose tolerance test (OGGT) (p = 0.030), and insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, HOMA-IR) (p < 0.001). The groups did not differ in terms of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations. + + CONCLUSION: Individual nutrition education is more effective than group education in terms of improving anthropometric and biochemical indices in overweight-obese hypertensive adults. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

However, plasma FGF21 levels are paradoxically increased in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, suggesting resistance to this ligand. FGF21 acts mainly on adipose tissue and ectopic fat accumulation is a typical feature in metabolic deterioration such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. + + Objective: To investigate the relationship between FGF21 resistance and ectopic fat accumulation. + + Research design and methods: Subjects who underwent 64-slice multidetector CT (MDCT) were enrolled (n=190). Plasma FGF21 levels and MDCT data of ectopic fats at various sites were analyzed. Human visceral and subcutaneous fat tissues from abdominal and coronary artery bypass surgery were obtained. FGF21 receptor expression and postreceptor signaling in different fat deposits of both control and T2DM subjects were analyzed. + + Results: Plasma FGF21 levels were significantly associated with body mass index, triglyceride, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, and Matsuda index. Plasma FGF21 levels were significantly higher in patients with T2DM than in the pre-diabetes and normal glucose tolerance groups. The ectopic fat phenotypes (visceral, epicardial, intrahepatic, and intramuscular fat) of T2DM were significantly higher than controls. Plasma FGF21 levels were elevated and exhibited a strong positive correlation with ectopic fat accumulation in T2DM. The expression of genes comprising the FGF21 signaling pathway was also lower in visceral fat than in subcutaneous fat in this disease. + + Conclusions: Human FGF21 resistance in T2DM could result from increases in FGF21-resistant ectopic fat accumulation. Our study provides novel clinical evidence linking FGF21 resistance and T2DM pathogenesis. Copyright © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2019. Re-use permitted under CC BY-NC. No commercial re-use.

Pin1 plays critical roles in favoring the exacerbation of both lipid accumulation and fibrotic change accompanying inflammation. Indeed, Pin1-deficient mice are highly resistant to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) development by either a high-fat diet or methionine-choline-deficient diet feeding. The processes of NASH development can basically be separated into lipid accumulation and subsequent fibrotic change with inflammation. In this review, we outline the molecular mechanisms by which increased Pin1 promotes both of these phases of NASH. The target proteins of Pin1 involved in lipid accumulation include insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and acetyl CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1), while the p60 of the NF-kB complex and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) pathway appear to be involved in the fibrotic process accelerated by Pin1. Interestingly, Pin1 deficiency does not cause abnormalities in liver size, appearance or function. Therefore, we consider the inhibition of increased Pin1 to be a promising approach to treating NASH and preventing hepatic fibrosis. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Isoenzymes). 0 (NIMA-Interacting Peptidylprolyl Isomerase). 0 (Reactive Oxygen Species).

Clinical features are usually not observed until islets begin to fail and irreversible damage has occurred. Diabetes is generally diagnosed based on elevated glucose, which does not distinguish between type 1 and 2 diabetes. Thus, new diagnostic approaches are needed to detect different modes of diabetes before manifestation of disease. During prediabetes (pre-DM), islets undergo stress and release micro (mi) RNAs. Here, we review studies that have measured and tracked miRNAs in the blood for those with recent-onset or longstanding type 1 diabetes, obesity, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. We summarize the findings on miRNA signatures with the potential to stage progression of different modes of diabetes. Advances in identifying selective biomarker signatures may aid in early detection and classification of diabetic conditions and treatments to prevent and reverse diabetes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MicroRNAs). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Clustering of metabolic risk factors in early pregnancy may be a potential pathogenesis between the link of overweight/obesity and GDM. Since it remains unexplored, we investigated if overweight and obesity are associated with clustering of metabolic risk factors in early pregnancy and the risk of GDM in this cohort study. + + METHODS: Total 527 women who visited National Taiwan University Hospital for prenatal care in between November 2013 to April 2018 were enrolled. Risk factors of GDM in the first prenatal visit (FPV) were recorded. Overweight/obesity was defined if body mass index >=24 kg/m2. GDM was diagnosed from the result of a 75g oral glucose tolerance test in 24-28 gestational weeks. + + RESULTS: Overweight/obesity was associated with clustering of metabolic risk factors of GDM, including high fasting plasma glucose, high HbA1c, insulin resistance, high plasma triglyceride and elevated blood pressure in FPV (p<0.05). There was a positive relationship between the number of metabolic risk factors and the incidence of GDM (p <0.05). The odds ratios of HbA1c and diastolic blood pressure were higher in overweight/obese women, compared with those in normal-weight women. + + CONCLUSIONS: Overweight/obesity is associated with clustering of metabolic risk factors in early pregnancy, which is correlated with higher risk of GDM. Our findings suggest that metabolic risk factors during early pregnancy should be evaluated in overweight/obese women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Scientific literature highlights a strong and consistent relation between abdominal girth and diabetes risk. Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is recognized as a diagnostic test for DM as well as for its monitoring. + + AIM: The purpose of this study is to assess association of anthropometric markers viz. Body mass index (BMI) and abdominal girth (AG) for prediction of glycaemic control in Indian population. + + METHODS: This single centre observational study was carried out from Feb 2015 to Oct 2015 at Khopoli, Maharashtra. Participants of both gender, andgt;20 yrs and willing to screen for HbA1c and anthropometry were included. + + FINDINGS: Out of the 2640 participants who visited the centre, 1870 (N=860 non-DM, age median (range): 57 (48/65) and N=1010 DM, age: 60 (53/65)) were enrolled in this study. HbA1c levels were statistically significantly elevated in DM vs. non-DM group (median (range): 7.5 (6.5/8.9) vs. 5.7 (5.2/6.3); p=0.000). Interestingly, abdominal girth showed significant difference between DM and non-DM groups (median (range): 95 (88/102) vs. 93 (86/100); p=0.022). Whereas BMI did not differ across the groups (median (range): 25.5 (23.2/28.6) vs. 25.7 (23.1/28.8); p=0.486). + + CONCLUSION AND SIGNIFICANCE: Among the anthropometric markers namely BMI and AG, AG is a better predictor of DM risk. Therefore AG should also be considered along with HbA1c for predicting DM risk.

Emerging clinical studies suggest that pre- and pro- biotic formulations may be effective interventions for the management of obesity and associated metabolic complications. The current trial was conducted to assess the effect of synbiotic supplementation on anthropometric indices, glycemic and lipid profile, blood pressure, and psychological status of adults with overweight or obesity. + + METHODS: This randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted on 60 adults with overweight or obesity. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups to receive either synbiotics (n=30) in form of a 500mg capsule (containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium bifidum plus inulin) or placebo (n=30) for 8 weeks. The level of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FPG), insulin, body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), stress, anxiety, and depression were measured at the baseline and end of the study. + + RESULTS: In total, 59 subjects (39 men and 20 women) completed the present study. A significant between-group decrease in body weight (P=0.03), TC (P=0.01), TG (P=0.02), LDL-C (P=0.01), stress (P<0.001), anxiety (P=0.03), and depression (P=0.03) was found in the synbiotic group compared to the placebo. However, synbiotics had no significant effect on HDL-C, SBP, DBP, FPG and fasting insulin concentrations, as well the BMI and WC (P<0.05). + + CONCLUSION: The present study showed that synbiotic supplementation can confer a number of health benefits including improvements in TG, TC, LDL-C, body weight, stress, anxiety, and depression to subjects that are overweight or obesity. + + TRIAL REGISTRATION: Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials IRCT20180201038585N3.

The present study is aimed at (i) analyzing the predictive performances of LAP in the identification of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in Chinese population and (ii) exploring the potentially interactive effect between LAP and other factors on IFG risk. + + METHODS: Analysis was conducted on the data obtained from a community-based cross-sectional survey in Chinese population, and all the participants enrolled were required to complete a face-to-face questionnaire survey and related health checks. Then, for the purpose of comparing predictive values between LAP and conventional obesity indices for IFG, relevant analysis was carried out on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The assessment of interactive effects was conducted by employing the three indicators as follows: (1) RERI (the relative excess risk due to interaction), (2) AP (attributable proportion due to interaction), and (3) SI (synergy index). + + RESULTS: A total of 1777 participants (748 males and 1029 females) were involved in the final analysis. It was finally obtained that the prevalence rate of IFG was 14.1% in total, 15.5% for males and 13.1% for females, respectively. In logistic regression analysis, individuals with LAP levels in the fourth quartile had a significant higher risk of getting IFG in comparison with that of the lowest quartile (crude OR: 4.58, 95% CI: 3.01-6.98; adjusted OR: 3.81, 95% CI: 2.33-6.23). In addition, it was indicated by the ROC curve analysis that LAP showed a better performance in discriminating IFG risk than BMI in both males (Z = 2.20, P = 0.028) and females (Z = 2.13, P = 0.033). However, LAP displayed a higher predictability in comparison with WC only in females (Z = 2.07, P = 0.038), but not in males (Z = 0.18, P = 0.860). Furthermore, LAP and family history of diabetes were able to impose significant synergistic interaction on the risk of IFG, which was indicated by all the parameters in females (RERI: 2.52, 95% CI: 0.19-4.84; AP: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.20-0.74; SI: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.17-4.87) and males (RERI: 2.18, 95% CI: 0.08-4.73; AP: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.07-0.79; SI: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.03-5.45). However, none of the indicators showed significant interaction between LAP and smoking on the risk of IFG in females (RERI: 0.92, 95% CI: -2.79-4.63; AP: 0.20, 95% CI: -0.50-0.92; SI: 1.37, 95% CI: 0.42-4.52). Meanwhile, there was also no significant interaction between LAP and smoking on the risk of IFG in males as indicated by the value of SI (2.22, 95% CI: 0.80-6.21). + + CONCLUSION: It was concluded that LAP was significantly related to a higher risk of IFG in Chinese population, and its performance was superior to that of conventional obesity indices, especially in females. Apart from that, LAP with family history of diabetes may have an interactive effect that can impose a great influence on the development of IFG.

However, its role in critical illness and sepsis is only poorly understood. + + METHODS: We determined circulating levels of miR-143 in 218 critically ill patients, of which 135 fulfilled sepsis criteria, and compared them to 76 healthy controls. Results were correlated with clinical records. + + RESULTS: In the total cohort of critically ill patients from a medical intensive care unit (ICU), miR-143 serum levels tended to be lower compared to healthy control samples, but this difference did not reach statistical significance. In ICU patients, serum levels of miR-143 were independent of disease etiology, including the presence of sepsis, or severity of disease. Importantly, low miR-143 serum levels were associated with an unfavorable short- and long-term prognosis in ICU patients. Our study identified different optimal cut-off values at which low miR-143 serum levels predicted mortality with a high diagnostic accuracy. In line with this, concentrations of circulating miR-143 correlated with markers of organ failure such as creatinine, bilirubin, or lactate in our cohort of critically ill patients. + + CONCLUSION: Low miR-143 serum levels are indicative for an unfavorable short- and long-term prognosis in critically ill patients admitted to a medical ICU. Our data suggest a previously unrecognized role for miR-143 measurements as a novel prognostic marker in critically ill patients.

Subjects were randomly assigned to a 6-month weight loss diet (500 kcal deficit) and prescribed a Recommended Daily Allowance level of protein (0.8 g protein/kg BW), control group, or a higher level of protein (1.2 g protein/kg BW), protein group. For the protein group, lean, high-quality protein was evenly distributed between meals or balanced throughout the day (30 g protein/meal). The following cardiometabolic markers were quantified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy: lipids, lipoproteins, GlycA, trimethylamine-N-oxide, betaine, branched-chain amino acids, and lipoprotein insulin resistance index scores. + + RESULTS: In both groups (control [n = 27] and protein [n = 53]), there were significant (P <= .05) changes from baseline in weight loss (-6.2% and -7.2%), distance walked (+53.1 and +75.0 meters), and fasting plasma glucose (-7.5 and -6.2 mg/dL), respectively. At endpoint, protein group had significantly (P <= .05) lower triglycerides (-17.3 mg/dL), large very-low-density lipoprotein particle concentration (VLDL-P; -1.2 nmol/L), total low-density lipoprotein particle concentration (LDL-P; -67.8 nmol/L), small LDL-P (-59.4 nmol/L) and lipoprotein insulin resistance index (-5.9), whereas control group had significantly (P <= .05) lower GlycA (-13.1 mumol/L), total VLDL-P (-7.9 nmol/L), and small VLDL-P (-7.0 nmol/L). Differences between groups were observed for small VLDL-P (P = .02) and protein intake (P < .0001). + + CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that a hypocaloric diet with either traditional (0.8 g/kg BW/d) or higher protein (1.2 g/kg BW/d; predominantly from lean red meat) content improves risk markers of cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes in obese middle-aged and older adults. Both diets were also associated with improved physical function, and neither had an adverse impact on cardiometabolic outcomes.

Furthermore, we studied the correlation of these adipocytokines with early-onset metabolic and vascular sequelae among these children. + + METHODS: A total of 244 children (160 obese and 84 lean) were included in this study. Vaspin and visfatin were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. We also assayed other metabolic and cardiovascular parameters. The associations of serum vaspin and visfatin concentrations with metabolic and cardiovascular parameters were determined. + + RESULTS: We found a significant elevation in the concentrations of vaspin and visfatin in obese children compared to the concentrations in lean children. Additionally, we found a significant positive correlation between visfatin and vaspin levels, as well as inflammatory cell infiltration and markers of endothelial activation, but these factors did not affect insulin resistance in obese children. Multiple regression analyses confirmed that vaspin is the strongest predictor of higher tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), angiotensin-2 (Ang-2), vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin levels. We also found a significant association between visfatin and Ang-2, IL-6, VCAM-1, and E-selectin levels. + + CONCLUSION: The adipocytokines vaspin and visfatin are significantly interrelated, and both adipocytokines play a role in vascular endothelial function and inflammation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (SERPINA12 protein, human). 0 (Serpins). 0 (TNF protein, human). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha).

The Zhejiang University (ZJU) index was first developed to predict NAFLD in Chinese populations, where it was shown to have better predictive value than other currently used indices. The aims of the present study were to 1) determine the diagnostic accuracy of ZJU index in identifying NAFLD in a well-phenotyped cohort of obese middle-aged American women and 2) compare its performance with other non-invasive indices for NAFLD identification. + + METHODS: To achieve this goal, we performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively-collected cohort of participants enrolled in a weight loss trial for severe obesity (RENEW, clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT00712127). One hundred and seven women between the age of 30 and 55 with obesity class II (BMI 35-39.9 kg/m2) or class III (BMI >= 40 kg/m2) were recruited for analyses. Hepatic steatosis was measured using liver/spleen attenuation ratio (L/S ratio) from unenhanced abdominal computed tomography. Beside ZJU index, hepatic steatosis index (HSI), lipid accumulation production index (LAPI), and visceral adiposity index (VAI) were also determined and to compare their performance in predicting NAFLD. + + RESULTS: Of 107 obese women in the study, 40 (37.4%) met imaging criteria for NAFLD using cut-off value of L/S ratio < 1.1. The ZJU index was positively correlated with HIS, LAPI, but not VAI. The area under the curve was highest for the ZJU index (AUC = 0.742, 95% CI:0.647-0.837), followed by HSI (AUC = 0.728, 95% CI:0.631-0.825), LAPI (AUC = 0.682, CI:0.583-0.781), and VAI (AUC = 0.621, 95% CI:0.518-0.725), respectively, using the Youden method. + + CONCLUSION: The ZJU index is a powerful surrogate marker for NAFLD in severely obese western females and its predictive value was better than that of other commonly used indices for predicting NAFLD. Our study is the first to suggest that the ZJU index could be a promising model for use in western as well as Chinese populations. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This study aimed to evaluate correlation between lipidaemia and the formation of colorectal polyps. + + METHODS: One hundred and fourteen patients with colorectal polyps and forty-eight healthy controls were included in this study. Colonoscopies were performed for all patients and controls within 1 week before blood samples were taken. The concentrations of serum lipids and lipoproteins were measured simultaneously using an automatic biochemical analyser. The colorectal lesions were classified based on pathological characteristics, and four types were identified in the study: hyperplastic polyp (HP), tubular adenoma (TA), tubulovillous adenoma (TVA) and adenoma with high-grade dysplasia (A-HGD). Advanced adenoma was classified according to the number, size and histological type of polyps. + + RESULTS: The value of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was significantly higher in the group with advanced adenoma than in the controls (p < 0.05). Moreover, the LDL-C values in the HP and TA groups were higher when compared to that of controls (p < 0.05). Obesity, age, and increased TG and LDL-C were independent risk factors for the formation of colorectal polyps. The cut-off values of triglyceride (TG) and LDL-C to distinguish polyp patients from healthy controls were 0.96 mmol/L (AUC = 0.604, p = 0.036) and 3.05 mmol/L (AUC = 0.654, p = 0.002). The combined use of increased LDL-C and TG levels to distinguish polyp patients was effective, with a sensitivity of 50.0% and a specificity of 89.6% (AUC = 0.733, p < 0.01). + + CONCLUSIONS: Colorectal polyps are more often found in obese and older patients. Increased LDL-C and TG were correlated with the occurrence of polyps. Combination of the two serum indicators was useful to assess risk of colorectal lesions, maybe more effective in screening hyperplastic polyp, tubular adenoma and advanced adenoma. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1186%2fs12876-019-1115-9 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Xie&issn=1471-230X&title=BMC+Gastroenterology&atitle=Elevated+serum+triglyceride+and+low-density+lipoprotein+cholesterol+promotes+the+formation+of+colorectal+polyps.&volume=19&issue=1&spage=195&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1186%2Fs12876-019-1115-9&pmid=31752704&sid=OVID:medline + +<1977> +Unique Identifier + 31723209 +Title + Sphingolipid serum profiling in vitamin D deficient and dyslipidemic obese dimorphic adults. +Source + Scientific Reports. 9(1):16664, 2019 11 13. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Al-Daghri NM; Torretta E; Barbacini P; Asare H; Ricci C; Capitanio D; Guerini FR; Sabico SB; Alokail MS; Clerici M; Gelfi C +Author NameID + Ricci, Cristian; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4113-8682 + Gelfi, Cecilia; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-2996-6912 +Authors Full Name + Al-Daghri, Nasser M; Torretta, Enrica; Barbacini, Pietro; Asare, Hannah; Ricci, Cristian; Capitanio, Daniele; Guerini, Franca Rosa; Sabico, Shaun B; Alokail, Majed S; Clerici, Mario; Gelfi, Cecilia. +Institution + Al-Daghri, Nasser M.

In the present study the sphingolipid pattern was investigated in 23 normolipidemic normal weight (NW), 46 vitamin D deficient dyslipidemic normal weight (-vitDNW) and 60 vitamin D deficient dyslipidemic obese (-vitDO) men and women by HPTLC-primuline profiling and LC-MS analyses. Results indicate higher levels of total ceramide (Cer) and dihydroceramide (dhCers C18-22) and lower levels of total sphingomyelins (SMs) and dihydrosphingomyelin (dhSM) not only in -vitDO subjects compared to NW, but also in -vitDNW individuals. A dependency on body mass index (BMI) was observed analyzing specific Cer acyl chains levels. Lower levels of C20 and 24 were observed in men and C24.2 in women, respectively. Furthermore, LC-MS analyses display dimorphic changes in NW, -vitDNW and -vitDO subjects. In conclusion, LC-MS data identify the independency of the axis high Cers, dhCers and SMs from obesity per se. Furthermore, it indicates that long chains Cers levels are specific target of weight gain and that circulating Cer and SM levels are linked to sexual dimorphism status and can contribute to predict obese related co-morbidities in men and women. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Sphingolipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Therefore, IRF5 gene expression was determined in the subcutaneous adipose tissue samples from 53 non-diabetic individuals (6 lean, 18 overweight, and 29 obese), using real-time RT-PCR. IRF5 protein expression was also assessed using immunohistochemistry and/or confocal microscopy. Adipose gene expression of signature immune metabolic markers was also determined and compared with adipose IRF5 gene expression. Systemic levels of C-reactive protein and adiponectin were measured by ELISA. The data show that adipose IRF5 gene (P = 0.008) and protein (P = 0.004) expression was upregulated in obese compared with lean individuals. IRF5 expression changes correlated positively with body mass index (BMI; r = 0.37/P = 0.008) and body fat percentage (r = 0.51/P = 0.0004). In obese, IRF5 changes associated positively with HbA1c (r = 0.41/P = 0.02). A good agreement was found between gene and protein expression of IRF5 in obese subjects (r = 0.65/P = 0.001). IRF5 gene expression associated positively with adipose inflammatory signatures including local expression of TNF-alpha, IL-6, CXCL8, CCL-2/5, IL-1beta, IL-18, CXCL-9/10, CCL7, CCR-1/2/5, TLR-2/7/8/9, IRF3, MyD88, IRAK-1, and inflammatory macrophage markers (P < 0.05). Interestingly, IRF5 gene expression correlated positively with CRP (r = 0.37, P = 0.03) and negatively with adiponectin levels (r = -0.43, P = 0.009). In conclusion, elevated adipose IRF5 expression in obesity concurs with the typical inflammatory signatures, locally and systemically. Hence, the IRF5 upregulation may represent a novel adipose tissue marker for metabolic inflammation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (IRF5 protein, human). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Interferon Regulatory Factors). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of tetracycline (TTC) on myocardial infarct size in the isolated hearts obtained from obese rats with chemically-induced colitis (CIC). The association between TTC-induced changes in infarct size and intestinal microbiome composition as well as plasma levels of cytokines and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) was also studied. + + METHODS: Obesity was induced in Wistar rats by feeding them a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet for five weeks. A single rectal administration of 3% acetic acid (2 mL) to the rats resulted in CIC. Healthy rats as well as obese rats with CIC received TTC (15 mg daily for 3 days) via gavage. The rats were euthanized, after which isolated heart perfusion with simulated global ischemia and reperfusion was performed. Infarct size was determined histochemically. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cytokine levels in plasma were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, whereas SCFA levels in plasma were measured by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The intestinal microbiome was analyzed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. + + RESULTS: The treatment with TTC resulted in significant infarct size limitation (50 +/- 7 vs. 62 +/- 4% for the control mice, p < 0.05) in the hearts from intact animals. However, infarct size was not different between the control rats and the obese rats with CIC. Furthermore, infarct size was significantly larger in TTC-treated obese rats with CIC than it was in the control animals (77 +/- 5%, p < 0.05). The concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines and LPS in serum were elevated in the obese rats with CIC. Compared to the control rats, the rats with both obesity and CIC had lower counts of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium spp. but higher counts of Escherichia coli. The effects of TTC on infarct size were not associated with specific changes in SCFA levels. + + CONCLUSIONS: TTC reduced infarct size in the healthy rats. However, this effect was reversed in the obese animals with CIC. Additionally, it was associated with specific changes in gut microbiota and significantly elevated levels of cytokines and LPS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids, Volatile).

Included among these is the deterioration of the intestinal barrier, which has been implicated in type 2 diabetes and susceptibility to bacterial transepithelial migration. The intestinal epithelium is maintained by alphabeta and gammadelta intraepithelial T lymphocytes, which migrate along the epithelia, support epithelial homeostasis, and protect from infection. In this study, we investigate how obesity impacts intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL) persistence and function in intestinal homeostasis and repair. Mice were fed a high-fat diet to induce obesity and to study immunomodulation in the intestine. There is a striking reduction in alphabeta and gammadelta IEL persistence as obesity progresses with a different mechanism in alphabeta versus gammadelta IEL populations. CD4+ and CD4+CD8+ alphabeta intraepithelial T lymphocytes exhibit reduced homeostatic proliferation in obesity, whereas both alphabeta and gammadelta IELs downregulate CD103 and CCR9. The reduction in intraepithelial T lymphocytes occurs within 7 wk of high-fat diet administration and is not dependent on chronic inflammation via TNF-alpha. Young mice administered a high-fat diet upon weaning exhibit the most dramatic phenotype, showing that childhood obesity has consequences on intestinal IEL seeding. Together, this dysfunction in the intestinal epithelium renders obese mice more susceptible to dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis. Diet-induced weight loss restores IEL number and CD103/CCR9 expression and improves outcome in colitis. Together, these data confirm that obesity has immunomodulatory consequences in intestinal tissues that can be improved with weight loss.

Here, we characterized global gene expression in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Arc) in diet-induced obese (DIO) rats following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). 60 days post-RYGB, the Arc was isolated by laser-capture microdissection and global gene expression was assessed by RNA sequencing. RYGB lowered body weight and adiposity as compared to sham-operated DIO rats. Discrete transcriptome changes were observed in the Arc following RYGB, including differential expression of genes associated with inflammation and neuropeptide signaling. RYGB reduced gene expression of glial cell markers, including Gfap, Aif1 and Timp1, confirmed by a lower number of GFAP immunopositive astrocyte profiles in the Arc. Sham-operated weight-matched rats demonstrated a similar glial gene expression signature, suggesting that RYGB and dietary restriction have common effects on hypothalamic gliosis. Considering that RYGB surgery also led to increased orexigenic and decreased anorexigenic gene expression, this may signify increased hunger-associated signaling at the level of the Arc. Hence, induction of counterregulatory molecular mechanisms downstream from the Arc may play an important role in RYGB-induced weight loss. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (GFAP protein, rat). 0 (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein). 0 (Neuropeptides). 106388-42-5 (Peptide YY). 89750-14-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide 1). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Therefore, the present study aimed to identify potential underlying factors for suboptimal secondary prevention 2 years after an AMI event. + + METHODS: Patients aged 18-85 years at the time of their index AMI and hospitalized between July 2010 and December 2011, were identified retrospectively and consecutively from hospital discharge records. All patients who agreed to participate underwent a structured interview, physical examinations and laboratory analysis 2 years after their index AMI. The secondary preventive goals included are; blood pressure < 140/90 mmHg, LDL < 1.8 mmol/L, HbA1c < 48 mmol/mol, regular physical activity that causes sweating at least twice a week, non-smoking and BMI < 25 kg/m2. Multivariable and univariable logistic regression models were applied to identify independent predictors of different secondary prevention achievements. + + RESULTS: Of the 200 patients (mean age 63.3 +/- 9.7 years) included in the study, 159 (80%) were men. No common determinants were found in patients who failed to achieve at least six secondary prevention guideline-directed goals. For individual secondary prevention goals, several determinants were defined. Patients born in Sweden were less likely to achieve optimal lipid control [odds ratio (OR) 0.28 (95% confidence interval, CI 0.12-0.63)]. Younger (<= 65 years) [OR 0.24 (95% CI 0.07-0.74)] and unemployed patients [OR 0.23 (95% CI 0.06-0.82)] were less likely to be non-smokers. Patients with diabetes mellitus [OR 0.21 (95% CI 0.04-0.98)] or with a walking aid [OR 0.23 (95% CI 0.07-0.71)] were less likely to achieve an optimal body mass index (BMI < 25). Living alone was an independent predictor of achieving regular physical activity [OR 1.94 (95% CI 1.02-3.69)]. + + CONCLUSION: Long-term secondary prevention remained suboptimal 2 years after an AMI. Causes are likely multifactorial, with no single determinant for all six guideline-recommended preventive goals. Therefore a tailored comprehensive assessment should be requested and updated and treatment of risk factors should be applied. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Sweet proteins are a relatively unstudied class of sweet compounds that could serve as innovative sweeteners, but their introduction on the food market has been delayed by some factors, among which is the lack of thorough metabolic and toxicological studies. We have tried to shed light on the potential of a sweet protein, MNEI, as a fructose substitute in beverages in a typical western diet, by studying the metabolic consequences of its consumption on a Wistar rat model of high fat diet-induced obesity. In particular, we investigated the lipid profile, insulin sensitivity and other indicators of metabolic syndrome. We also evaluated systemic inflammation and potential colon damage. MNEI consumption rescued the metabolic derangement elicited by the intake of fructose, namely insulin resistance, altered plasma lipid profile, colon inflammation and translocation of lipopolysaccharides from the gut lumen into the circulatory system. We concluded that MNEI could represent a valid alternative to fructose, particularly when concomitant metabolic disorders such as diabetes and/or glucose intolerance are present. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Drinking Water). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Proteins). 0 (Sweetening Agents). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3390%2fnu11112643 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Cancelliere&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Metabolic+Effects+of+the+Sweet+Protein+MNEI+as+a+Sweetener+in+Drinking+Water.+A+Pilot+Study+of+a+High+Fat+Dietary+Regimen+in+a+Rodent+Model.&volume=11&issue=11&spage=&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.3390%2Fnu11112643&pmid=31689911&sid=OVID:medline + +<1984> +Unique Identifier + 31681268 +Title + The Impact of Obesity on Thyroid Autoimmunity and Dysfunction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. +Source + Frontiers in Immunology. 10:2349, 2019. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Song RH; Wang B; Yao QM; Li Q; Jia X; Zhang JA +Authors Full Name + Song, Rong-Hua; Wang, Bin; Yao, Qiu-Ming; Li, Qian; Jia, Xi; Zhang, Jin-An. +Institution + Song, Rong-Hua.

Methods: Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane database and Google Scholar electronic databases were searched from inception to October 31, 2018 without language restrictions to explore the relationship between thyroid disorders and obesity. The relative risk (RR) or odds risk (OR) for thyroid disorders were pooled using the SPSS and STATA software. Results: A total of 22 studies were included in the study. (1) Meta-analysis showed that obesity was significantly associated with an increased risk of hypothyroidism (RR = 1.86, 95% CI 1.63-2.11, P < 0.001). Meta-analyses after stratification further showed that obese population had increased risks of overt hypothyroidism (RR = 3.21, 95% CI 2.12-4.86, P < 0.001) and subclinical hypothyroidism (RR = 1.70, 95% CI 1.42-2.03, P < 0.001). (2) Further meta-analysis also showed obesity was clearly associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (RR = 1.91, 95% CI 1.10-3.32, P = 0.022), but not with Graves' disease. (3) In the meta-analysis of antibodies, obesity was correlated with positive thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) (RR = 1.93, 95% CI 1.31-2.85, P = 0.001), but not with positive thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb). Conclusions: Obesity was significantly related to hypothyroidism, HT, and TPOAb, implying that prevention of obesity is crucial for thyroid disorders.

The most feasible explanation for this association is the hypothesis of catch up. Some studies postulate a greater influence of catch up growth than the low birth weight itself in developing metabolic and cardiovascular disease. + + MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a prospective cohort study of newborns with intrauterine growth restriction (defined as weight percentile at birth less than 10th) born during a one-year period. Clinical data of patients were recorded (gender, gestational age, data about breastfeeding and anthropometry during follow-up every 3 months). Some details of pregnancy and characteristics of the mother were also registered. Serum biochemical parameters (IGF-1, IGF-BP3, insulin, glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, DLD cholesterol, triglycerides, HOMA) were collected at birth from cord blood, 9 and 12 months. Two main comparative groups were established: those GRF who made a catch-up growth (increase in weight Z score higher than 0,67) during the follow-up and those who did not get it. + + RESULTS: 126 GRF children were born in the study period. 125 accepted the inclusion in the study and 67 of them completed the full monitoring for a year; 47 of them made recovery growth and 20 did not. A significant difference between both groups was found in glucose in umbilical cord and triglycerides at 12 months: GRF children with catch up growth showed lower glucose levels (p = 0.03) and higher levels of triglycerides (p = 0.03). There were no statistically significant differences in the rest of laboratory parameters analyzed (IGF-1, IGF-BP3, insulin, glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, DLD cholesterol, HOMA at 9 and 12 months or triglycerides at 9 months). + + CONCLUSIONS: Those GRF with catch up growth during the first year of life have early changes in the triglycerides at the end of that period with higher levels than those GRF children without catch up growth. This finding could be useful to develop a tool for early detection of GRF children with higher metabolic risk in order to prevent future pathology.

Aim of our study was to investigate whether high dose (3 mg) short-term (5 weeks) treatment with liraglutide in obese patients with no overt type 2 diabetes affects metabolites, lipid and lipoprotein profile and components of activin-follistatin axis in cardiovascular beneficial or detrimental way. + + RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Twenty obese patients participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over, double-blind study and were administrated liraglutide 3 mg or placebo for 5 weeks. Metabolites, fatty acids, lipid-lipoprotein profile and concentrations of activins and follistatins (250 parameters) were assessed in serum at start and completion of each treatment. + + RESULTS: Concentrations of important cardiovascular markers such as total, free and remnant cholesterol were reduced with liraglutide before and after adjusting for weight loss. Similarly, reductions in number of small and medium size LDL particles and in their total lipid concentration were observed with liraglutide and partially weight-loss related. Tyrosine levels were reduced and behenic acid levels were increased whereas only minor changes were observed in HDL, VLDL and IDL. Concentrations of activin AB and follistatin were significantly reduced in liraglutide-treated group. + + CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of obese patients without overt type 2 diabetes with high dose of liraglutide for a short period of time induces changes in lipid-lipoprotein and hormonal profile that are suggestive of lower risk of atherosclerosis and CVD.

Here we investigate the prevalence of obesity and obesity-associated muscle wasting in PD patients. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study design was observational, cross sectional. Body composition was assessed with BIA and BIVA in 88 PD patients (53.4 +/- 13.1 years; 67% male). Patients with obesity and/or with reduced muscle mass were identified using FMI and SM/BW cutoff values, respectively. Inflammatory status was assessed by measuring CRP and fibrinogen blood levels. + + RESULTS: A total of 44.3% of the patients showed a reduced muscle mass (37.5% moderate and 6.8% severe). The prevalence of obesity was 6.1%, 81.8%, and 100% in patients with normal, moderately, and severely reduced muscle mass, respectively (p < 0.05). Of the total, 15.2% of the patients with normal muscle mass, 18.4% of those with moderately reduced muscle mass, and 66.7% of those with severely reduced muscle mass had diabetes. The prevalence of severe muscle mass loss was higher in those with diabetes than in those without diabetes (22.2% vs. 2.8%, p < 0.05). Patients with obesity-associated muscle wasting showed higher fibrinogen (613.9 +/- 155.1 vs. 512.9 +/- 159.5 mg/dL, p < 0.05) and CPR (1.4 +/- 1.3 vs. 0.6 +/- 0.8 mg/dL, p < 0.05) blood concentrations than those with normal body composition. + + CONCLUSION: Obesity and diabetes were strongly associated with muscle mass loss in our PD patients. It remains to be established whether prevention of obesity with nutritional interventions can halt the occurrence of muscle mass loss in patients on PD.

We applied an fMRI food-cue reactivity paradigm during which the participants were passively exposed to food pictures to evaluate neuronal activity in the DLPFC. Additionally, we measured concentrations of circulating GLP-1 levels during a standard oral glucose tolerance test. Phenotyping was performed consecutively before and after a 3-month low-calorie diet as well as after a randomized 12-month trial, investigating the effect of a combined behavioral intervention on body weight maintenance. Participants were then followed-up for another 12 months without further intervention. + + RESULTS: Using voxel-wise linear mixed-effects regression analyses, we evaluated 56 measurements and identified a strong interaction between circulating, endogenous GLP-1 levels and DLPFC activity predicting body weight change over the total observation period (t = -6.17, p = 1.6 . 10-7). While neither the GLP-1 nor the DLPFC response individually predicted the subsequent weight change, participants achieved body weight loss when the GLP-1 and the DLPFC responses occurred concurrently. + + CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrate an interaction between a peripheral hormonal signal and central nervous activity as robust predictor of body weight change throughout the different periods of a long-term life-style intervention. The preeminent role of their interdependency compared to the partly ambivalent effects of the single components argues for integrative approaches to improve sensitivity and reliability of weight prediction conventionally based on individual biomarkers.

A planned standardised homogeneous survey was conducted as a pilot study. Social, economic and physical variables like age, gender, marital status and presence of diseases, all were taken into consideration. To check association among cardio metabolic risk factors like diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and TG/HDL-C ratio, Chi-square test was computed for all cardio metabolic risk factors. + + RESULTS: Overall 350 participants were studied after attainment of authorisation from Ethical Review Board of Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, in which 268 (76.6%) were women; whereas, 82 (23.4%) were men with mean age of 37 +/- 11.64 years. There was strong association of TG/HDL ratio with BMI, HOMA-IR, WBISI, visceral fats, smooth muscle mass, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides with p <0.04, p <0.001, p <0.01, and p <0.001, respectively. + + CONCLUSION: TG/HDLC ratio can be considered as a potential biomarker for the early prediction of cardiometablic risk factors. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, HDL). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

A relationship between microbial translocation (MT), or their biomarkers (lipopolysaccharide binding protein-1 [LBP-1], soluble cluster of differentiation [sCD]-14), and physical function has been reported in healthy older adults, rats, and invertebrates. However, it is not known whether the existence of comorbidities, or clinical interventions intended to reduce comorbidities through weight loss or exercise, alters this connection. We measured inflammation, MT, and physical function in 288 overweight/obese older patients with cardiometabolic disease and self-reported mobility limitations who were enrolled in a weight loss and lifestyle intervention study. At baseline, inflammatory cytokines and LBP-1 were positively correlated after adjustment for age, gender, and body mass index. A higher LBP-1 was significantly associated with poorer physical functional after covariate adjustment. Further, even when IL-6 levels were included in the models, 400-m walk time (p = 0.003), short physical performance battery (p = 0.07), and IL-8 (p < 0.001) remained positively associated with LBP-1. Lifestyle interventions improved body mass and some functional measures; however, MT and inflammation were unchanged. MT is reliably related to inflammation, and to poorer physical function in older adults with comorbid conditions. Intestinal barrier function did not appear to improve as a result of intervention assignment, suggesting alternative strategies are needed to target this pro-inflammatory pathway in aging. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

This metabolic disorder is associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen species, which affect the oxidative stress levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate oxidative/antioxidative status and to investigate the correlation between redox markers and anthropometric parameters and body composition in adult patients after myocardial infarction and in individuals without a cardiovascular event in the past. Descriptive data on socio-demographic, clinical, and anthropometric features and blood samples were collected and categorized into two equal groups: after myocardial infarction (study group (SG), n = 80) and without a cardiovascular event (control group (CG), n = 80). The oxidative/antioxidative status was assessed in plasma on the basis of total oxidative/capacitive status (PerOx), total antioxidative status/capacity (ImAnOx), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL). The oxLDL was significantly higher in the CG group compared to the SG group (p = 0.02). No significant differences were found with regard to PerOx and ImAnOx values between the groups studied. A significant positive correlation between PerOx and percentage of adipose tissue (FM%) and body adiposity index (BAI) was found in the two studied groups. ImAnOx significantly positively correlated with visceral adiposity indexes(VAIs) in SG and FM% in CG. OxLDL negatively correlated with body mass index and waist to hip circumference ratio in CG. The total oxidative/antioxidative status is related to the amount of adipose tissue and the BAIs of the subjects. It was observed that it correlates more frequently with the visceral distribution of body fat. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Oxidants). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The increase of IL-6 and CRP levels is modified by polymorphism of -174 G>C IL-6 gene. + + AIM: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between -174 G>C IL-6 polymorphism gene on the level of IL-6 and CRP in the population of western Indonesia obese who are obese. + + METHODS: In this study, we examined 178 subjects consisting of 89 who are obese with BMI> 25, and controls with BMI between 18.5 and 23. Fasting blood was taken from each subject for the examination of IL-6 and CRP levels by the ELISA method. Determination of genotype -174 G>C IL-6 gene was examined by Polymerase Chain reaction- Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods. + + RESULTS: The results of this study showed increased levels of IL-6 and CRP in the obese group compared to the controls. In the obese group, CC genotype had higher CRP and lower IL-6 levels than the GC and GG genotypes. The frequency of CC genotype in the obese group was 47.2% compared with 28.1% in controls and this genotype was considered a risk factor for obesity. Carriers of the C genotype as a dominant or a recessive model had greater risk of obesity. + + CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the polymorphism - 174G>C IL-6 gene is a risk factor for obesity and is associated with increased levels of IL-6 and CRP in an obese group of the Western Indonesian ethnic population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-6). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). 9007-49-2 (DNA). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&AN=31649216 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Pramudji&issn=0300-5283&title=Medical+Journal+of+Malaysia&atitle=Association+of+-174+G%3EC+interleukin-6+gene+polymorphism+with+interleukin-6+and+c-reactive+protein+levels+and+obesity%3A+A+case-control+study+among+people%2Fresidents+of+Western+Indonesia.&volume=74&issue=5&spage=400&epage=404&date=2019&doi=&pmid=31649216&sid=OVID:medline + +<1993> +Unique Identifier + 31648221 +Title + Plasma midkine concentrations in healthy children, children with increased and decreased adiposity, and children with short stature. +Source + PLoS ONE [Electronic Resource]. 14(10):e0224103, 2019. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Jee YH; Lee KS; Yue S; Leschek EW; Boden MG; Jadra A; Klibanski A; Vaidyanathan P; Misra M; Chang YP; Yanovski JA; Baron J +Author NameID + Chang, Young Pyo; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5262-6561 + Baron, Jeffrey; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7311-9112 +Authors Full Name + Jee, Youn Hee; Lee, Kun Song; Yue, Shanna; Leschek, Ellen W; Boden, Matthew G; Jadra, Aysha; Klibanski, Anne; Vaidyanathan, Priya; Misra, Madhusmita; Chang, Young Pyo; Yanovski, Jack A; Baron, Jeffrey. +Institution + Jee, Youn Hee.

Plasma concentrations have been reported to be elevated in patients with a variety of malignancies, in adults with obesity, and in children with short stature, diabetes, and obesity. However, the concentrations in healthy children and their relationships to age, nutrition, and linear growth have not been well studied. + + SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Plasma MDK was measured by immunoassay in 222 healthy, normal-weight children (age 0-18 yrs, 101 boys), 206 healthy adults (age 18-91 yrs, 60 males), 61 children with BMI >= 95th percentile (age 4-18 yrs, 20 boys), 20 girls and young women with anorexia nervosa (age 14-23 yrs), and 75 children with idiopathic short stature (age 3-18 yrs, 42 boys). Body fat was evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in a subset of subjects. The associations of MDK with age, sex, adiposity, race/ethnicity and stature were evaluated. + + RESULTS: In healthy children, plasma MDK concentrations declined with age (r = -0.54, P < 0.001) with values highest in infants. The decline occurred primarily during the first year of life. Plasma MDK did not significantly differ between males and females or between race/ethnic groups. MDK concentrations were not correlated with BMI SDS, fat mass (kg) or percent total body fat, and no difference in MDK was found between children with anorexia nervosa, healthy weight and obesity. For children with idiopathic short stature, MDK concentrations did not differ significantly from normal height subjects, or according to height SDS or IGF-1 SDS. + + CONCLUSIONS: In healthy children, plasma MDK concentrations declined with age and were not significantly associated with sex, adiposity, or stature-for-age. These findings provide useful reference data for studies of plasma MDK in children with malignancies and other pathological conditions. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MDK protein, human). 137497-38-2 (Midkine). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Young women (n=56) with regular menstrual cycle had been grouped according to their BMI into normal weight group (n=26) and overweight /obese group (n=30). Blood samples were drawn during early follicular (FP), pre-ovulatory (OP) and luteal phases (LP) of menstrual cycle for serum adiponectin and estradiol levels determination using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Adiponectin serum level showed a significant decreasing pattern across the phases of menstrual cycle in normal weight group. This pattern was absent in the overweight/obese group. In addition, serum adiponectin was lower in overweight/obese group compared to normal weight subjects through all phases of menstrual cycle. No correlation was found between adiponectin and estradiol levels in both groups. A significant variation of serum adiponectin level was detected across the menstrual cycle in females with normal weight. In comparison, overweight/obese group showed a relatively stable adiponectin level throughout the cycle. This lack of adiponectin variation might be added to the complex mechanisms lies behind obesity-related female infertility. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

However, some obese individuals maintain their insulin sensitivity and exhibit a lower risk of associated comorbidities. The underlying metabolic pathways differentiating obese insulin sensitive (OIS) and obese insulin resistant (OIR) individuals remain unclear. + + METHODS: In this study, 107 subjects underwent untargeted metabolomics of serum samples using the Metabolon platform. Thirty-two subjects were lean controls whilst 75 subjects were obese including 20 OIS, 41 OIR, and 14 T2DM individuals. + + RESULTS: Our results showed that phospholipid metabolites including choline, glycerophosphoethanolamine and glycerophosphorylcholine were significantly altered from OIS when compared with OIR and T2DM individuals. Furthermore, our data confirmed changes in metabolic markers of liver disease, vascular disease and T2DM, such as 3-hydroxymyristate, dimethylarginine and 1,5-anhydroglucitol, respectively. + + CONCLUSION: This pilot data has identified phospholipid metabolites as potential novel biomarkers of obesity-associated insulin sensitivity and confirmed the association of known metabolites with increased risk of obesity-associated insulin resistance, with possible diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Further studies are warranted to confirm these associations in prospective cohorts and to investigate their functionality. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Phospholipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Although estimating the VFA by X-ray computed tomography (CT) is the primary index for visceral obesity, it is expensive and requires invasive radiation exposure. Dual bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a simple and reliable method to estimate VFA; however, the clinical usefulness of dual BIA remains unclear in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). + + METHODS: We estimated the VFAs by dual BIA and CT in 98 patients with T2D and assessed anthropometric parameters, blood test results, and the presence of comorbid hypertension and dyslipidemia. We compared the correlation between the VFAs examined by dual BIA and CT. Furthermore, we performed the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses for the VFAs to detect the presence of comorbid hypertension and/or dyslipidemia with T2D, which are major comorbidities of visceral obesity, and estimated the area under the curve (AUC). + + RESULTS: The measurement error between the VFAs by dual BIA and CT was significantly higher among patients with brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) >= 100 pg/mL than those with BNP < 100 pg/mL (39.2% +/- 31.1% vs. 24.1% +/- 18.6%, P < 0.05). After excluding patients with BNP >= 100 pg/mL, the VFA by dual BIA significantly correlated with the VFA by CT (r = 0.917; P < 0.0001). The AUC in the ROC analysis for the VFA by dual BIA to detect the presence of comorbid hypertension and/or dyslipidemia with T2D was almost equivalent to that for the VFA by CT. + + CONCLUSIONS: In patients with T2D without elevated BNP > 100 pg/mL as indicator for fluid accumulation interfering with BIA, estimation of the VFA by dual BIA significantly correlated with that by CT and also detected comorbid hypertension and/or dyslipidemia with T2D equivalent to those detected by CT. Hence, dual BIA could be an alternative to CT as a standard method for estimating the VFA in patients with diabetes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 114471-18-0 (Natriuretic Peptide, Brain). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcome, but reliable sepsis biomarkers are lacking. This review summarizes current evidence of the pathophysiological mechanisms linking adipose tissue to sepsis and presents experimental and clinical data on adipokines and sepsis along with important insights into the obesity paradox in sepsis survival. + + RECENT FINDINGS: Sepsis is characterized by significant alterations in circulating cytokines and adipokines, biologically active molecules produced by the adipose tissue, being implicated in metabolic and inflammatory processes. Although data are inconclusive regarding classic adipokines such as leptin and adiponectin, recent evidence have highlighted the striking elevation of resistin and visfatin in critical illness and sepsis as well as their association with sepsis severity and outcomes. Given that inflammatory and metabolic pathways are involved in sepsis, studying adipokines presents an attractive, innovative, and promising research field that may provide more powerful diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers as well as novel therapeutic targets, empowering the therapeutic armamentarium for sepsis management in order to improve survival. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (LEP protein, human). 0 (Leptin). 0 (RETN protein, human). 0 (Resistin).

MetS plays an essential role in the atherosclerotic process with associated clustering of risk factors which can increase the risk of atherogenic damage. There is an association between MetS components and the progression of atherosclerosis, which is the leading cause of cardiovascular deaths. This review was undertaken to assess the potential role of metabolic syndrome components, including oxidative stress, hypertension, hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance, obesity, dyslipidemia, chronic inflammation, physical inactivity, and atherogenic diet in the progression of atherosclerosis based on existing research. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Lipids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

At the age of 13-week, all two groups of mice were subjected to either air or IH (IH30; thirty hypoxic events per hour) for one week. + + KEY FINDINGS: All mice fed with HF diet exhibited obesity with more body weight and fat mass (percentage to body weight) gain. IH reduced serum LDL, HDL and total cholesterol levels in lean 6J mice. In obese mice, IH lowered obesity-induced serum total cholesterol level in 6J substrain but raised further in 6N substrain. Furthermore, IH caused elevation of serum FFA and MDA levels, and pro-inflammatory cytokines MCP-1 and IL-6 levels in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) of lean 6J but not lean 6N mice. There was reduced number of adipocytes and elevation of macrophages in SAT and VAT of HF-induced obese mice of both substrains. IH led to increased number of adipocytes and macrophages in SAT of lean 6J mice. + + SIGNIFICANCE: The genetic difference between 6N and 6J mice may have direct impact on metabolic and inflammatory responses after IH. Therefore, attention must be given for the selection of C57BL mice substrains in the experimental IH-exposed mouse model. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

Although simple lipid quantification is routinely used, plasma lipids are rarely investigated at the level of individual molecules. We aimed at predicting different measures of obesity based on the plasma lipidome in a large population cohort using advanced machine learning modeling. A total of 1,061 participants of the FINRISK 2012 population cohort were randomly chosen, and the levels of 183 plasma lipid species were measured in a novel mass spectrometric shotgun approach. Multiple machine intelligence models were trained to predict obesity estimates, i.e., body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and body fat percentage (BFP), and validated in 250 randomly chosen participants of the Malmo Diet and Cancer Cardiovascular Cohort (MDC-CC). Comparison of the different models revealed that the lipidome predicted BFP the best (R2 = 0.73), based on a Lasso model. In this model, the strongest positive and the strongest negative predictor were sphingomyelin molecules, which differ by only 1 double bond, implying the involvement of an unknown desaturase in obesity-related aberrations of lipid metabolism. Moreover, we used this regression to probe the clinically relevant information contained in the plasma lipidome and found that the plasma lipidome also contains information about body fat distribution, because WHR (R2 = 0.65) was predicted more accurately than BMI (R2 = 0.47). These modeling results required full resolution of the lipidome to lipid species level, and the predicting set of biomarkers had to be sufficiently large. The power of the lipidomics association was demonstrated by the finding that the addition of routine clinical laboratory variables, e.g., high-density lipoprotein (HDL)- or low-density lipoprotein (LDL)- cholesterol did not improve the model further. Correlation analyses of the individual lipid species, controlled for age and separated by sex, underscores the multiparametric and lipid species-specific nature of the correlation with the BFP. Lipidomic measurements in combination with machine intelligence modeling contain rich information about body fat amount and distribution beyond traditional clinical assays. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Sphingomyelins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the changes in the urinary proteome of 18 individuals classified into metabolically healthy obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUHO) patients. Proteome analysis was performed using the two-dimensional difference in gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). Upon analysis, a total of 54 proteins were found to be affected with >=1.5-fold change (ANOVA, p <= 0.05), of which 44 proteins were upregulated and 10 proteins were downregulated. These differentially abundant proteins were related to nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) and p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways and were involved in cellular compromise, inflammatory response, and cancer. Proteins involved in inflammation (fibrinogen alpha (FIBA), serotransferrin (TRFE, and kininogen-1 (KNG1)) and insulin resistance (ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF)-like protein 15 (ARL15) and retinol-binding protein 4 (RET4)) were found to be significantly increased in the urine samples of MUHO compared to MHO patients. Investigating the effects of obesity on urinary proteins can help in developing efficient diagnostic procedures for early detection and prevention of obesity-related complications. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Proteome). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3390%2fijms20194905 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Benabdelkamel&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=A+Proteomics-Based+Approach+Reveals+Differential+Regulation+of+Urine+Proteins+between+Metabolically+Healthy+and+Unhealthy+Obese+Patients.&volume=20&issue=19&spage=4905&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.3390%2Fijms20194905&pmid=31623319&sid=OVID:medline + +<2002> +Unique Identifier + 31619235 +Title + Association of adiposity with thyroid nodules: a cross-sectional study of a healthy population in Beijing, China. +Source + BMC Endocrine Disorders. 19(1):102, 2019 Oct 16. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Yang HX; Zhong Y; Lv WH; Zhang F; Yu H +Authors Full Name + Yang, Hui-Xia; Zhong, Yu; Lv, Wei-Hua; Zhang, Feng; Yu, Hong. +Institution + Yang, Hui-Xia.

Binary logistic regression analyses were used. + + RESULTS: Of the 3534 healthy subjects, 58.69% (2074/3534) of the subjects had TNs. A total of 55.91% (1976/3534) had BMI >= 25 kg/m2 and 39.67% (1402/3534) had VFA >= 100 cm2. After adjustment to address confounders, BMI-based overweight and obesity levels only correlated with higher risk TNs when used as a continuous variable (OR = 1.031, 95% CI: 1.008-1.055, P = 0.008), while VFA was both a continuous variable (OR = 1.003, 95% CI: 1.000-1.005, P = 0.034) and a categorical variable (OR = 1.198, 95% CI: 1.014-1.417, P = 0.034) associated with significantly elevated risk of TNs. Analyzing the subgroups, BMI >= 25 kg/m2 (OR = 1.500, 95% CI: 1.110-2.026, P = 0.008) was significantly correlated with TN risk in individuals with TG >= 1.7 mmol/L. VFA >= 100 cm2 correlated with the TN risk irrespective of age (< 50 years: OR = 1.374, 95% CI: 1.109-1.703, P = 0.004; >= 50 years: OR = 1.367, 95% CI: 1.063-1.759, P = 0.015) and in the following subgroups: women (OR = 4.575, 95% CI: 2.558-8.181, P = 0.000), FBG >= 6.1 mmol/L (OR = 1.522, 95% CI: 1.048-2.209, P = 0.027), and TG >= 1.7 mmol/L (OR = 1.414, 95% CI: 1.088-1.838, P = 0.010). + + CONCLUSIONS: Adiposity correlates with TNs. To assess TN risk in Chinese individuals, VFA is better than BMI. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1186%2fs12902-019-0430-z +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Yang&issn=1472-6823&title=BMC+Endocrine+Disorders&atitle=Association+of+adiposity+with+thyroid+nodules%3A+a+cross-sectional+study+of+a+healthy+population+in+Beijing%2C+China.&volume=19&issue=1&spage=102&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1186%2Fs12902-019-0430-z&pmid=31619235&sid=OVID:medline + +<2003> +Unique Identifier + 31619003 +Title + Effects of a Flavonoid-Rich Extract from Citrus sinensis Juice on a Diet-Induced Obese Zebrafish. +Source + International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 20(20), 2019 Oct 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Montalbano G; Mania M; Guerrera MC; Laura R; Abbate F; Levanti M; Maugeri A; Germana A; Navarra M +Author NameID + Mania, Manuela; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5144-8719 + Navarra, Michele; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6492-7820 +Authors Full Name + Montalbano, Giuseppe; Mania, Manuela; Guerrera, Maria Cristina; Laura, Rosaria; Abbate, Francesco; Levanti, Maria; Maugeri, Alessandro; Germana, Antonino; Navarra, Michele. +Institution + Montalbano, Giuseppe.

The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of a flavonoid-rich extract of orange (Citrus sinensis) juice (OJe) in diet-induced obese zebrafish. + + METHODS: Adult zebrafish were divided into four diet groups: (i) normally fed (NF); (ii) overfed (OF); (iii) NF supplemented with OJe (5 mL/L in fish water; NF + OJe); and (iv) OF supplemented with OJe (OF + OJe). Each week, body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI) were measured, and, at the end of the fifth week, euthanized zebrafish were processed for both microscopic evaluations and qPCR analyses. + + RESULTS: In OF zebrafish, OJe significantly decreased both BW and BMI values and lowered the visceral adipose tissue, while it had little effect in the NF group. Moreover, it significantly reduced adipocyte cell size in both NF and OF groups in both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues, as well as their number in OF fish. Finally, OJe modulated some obesity-related genes, such as leptin A, ghrelin, orexin, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), and neuropeptide Y (NPY), in both gut and brain. + + CONCLUSION: This study adds new insights into the anti-obesity properties of orange juice and its flavonoids, suggesting their role as weight management agents through a lipolytic action linked to a restoration of metabolism-regulating gene expression. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Flavonoids). 0 (Plant Extracts). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3390%2fijms20205116 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Montalbano&issn=1422-0067&title=International+Journal+of+Molecular+Sciences&atitle=Effects+of+a+Flavonoid-Rich+Extract+from+Citrus+sinensis+Juice+on+a+Diet-Induced+Obese+Zebrafish.&volume=20&issue=20&spage=5116&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.3390%2Fijms20205116&pmid=31619003&sid=OVID:medline + +<2004> +Unique Identifier + 31618980 +Title + Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Extract Ameliorates High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity in C57BL/6N Mice by Upregulating SIRT1. +Source + Nutrients. 11(10), 2019 Oct 15. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Lee HS; Lim SM; Jung JI; Kim SM; Lee JK; Kim YH; Cha KM; Oh TK; Moon JM; Kim TY; Kim EJ +Author NameID + Lee, Hyun Sook; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8642-1978 + Kim, Eun Ji; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9305-4769 +Authors Full Name + Lee, Hyun Sook; Lim, Su-Min; Jung, Jae In; Kim, So Mi; Lee, Jae Kyoung; Kim, Yoon Hee; Cha, Kyu Min; Oh, Tae Kyu; Moon, Joo Myung; Kim, Tae Young; Kim, Eun Ji. +Institution + Lee, Hyun Sook.

Here, we investigated the anti-obesity effect and underlying mechanism of G. pentaphyllum extract (GPE) enriched in gypenoside L, gypenoside LI, and ginsenoside Rg3 and obtained using a novel extraction method. Five-week-old male C57BL/6N mice were fed a control diet (CD), high-fat diet (HFD), HFD + 100 mg/kg body weight (BW)/day GPE (GPE 100), HFD + 300 mg/kg BW/day GPE (GPE 300), or HFD + 30 mg/kg BW/day Orlistat (Orlistat 30) for 8 weeks. The HFD-fed mice showed significant increases in body weight, fat mass, white adipose tissue, and adipocyte hypertrophy compared to the CD group; but GPE inhibited those increases. GPE reduced serum levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol, without affecting HDL-cholesterol. GPE significantly increased AMPK activation and suppressed adipogenesis by decreasing the mRNA expression of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-alpha (C/EBPalpha), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma), sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP1c), PPARgamma coactivator-1alpha, fatty acid synthase (FAS), adipocyte protein 2 (AP2), and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and by increasing that of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT1) and hormone- sensitive lipase (HSL). This study demonstrated the ameliorative effect of GPE on obesity and elucidated the underlying molecular mechanism. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Plant Extracts).

Prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) has been identified as a potential new marker in PCOS women. Although the precise role of PSA in PCOS patients still remains undetermined, PSA might serve as a useful clinical marker and might even represent a new diagnostic criterion of hyperandrogenemia in females of PCOS. + + METHODS: A meta-analysis was performed in the study to identify the association between the polycystic ovary syndrome and prostatic-specific antigen. To identify eligible original articles, we searched a range of computerized databases, including Medline via PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI and Web of Science with a systematic searching strategy. The characteristics of each study and standard mean differences (SMD) with corresponding confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated and subgroup analysis was performed to analyze heterogeneity. + + RESULTS: A total of 532 patients from seven articles were included in the meta-analysis. We identified a significant relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome and prostatic-specific antigen, with a pooled SMD of 0.81 (95% CI: 0.58 to 1.04; P < 0.01). The pooled data were calculated with the random-effects model as a moderate significant heterogeneity was found among the studies. + + CONCLUSIONS: The meta-analysis suggested that there was a significant association between the polycystic ovary syndrome and prostatic-specific antigen and we should not ignore the role of PSA in the PCOS patients in clinical. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Fetal biometry including abdominal circumference (AC), estimated fetal weight (EFW), and adiposity measurements (mid-thigh fat mass, subscapular fat mass, abdominal fat mass) were obtained from ultrasound assessments at 28 and 36 weeks' gestation. Maternal markers included C reactive protein (CRP), leptin and adiponectin concentrations, measured at 28 and 36 weeks' gestation and fasting triglycerides and glucose concentrations measured at 28 weeks' gestation. + + RESULTS: There were negative associations identified between maternal serum adiponectin and fetal ultrasound markers of biometry and adiposity. After adjusting for confounders, a 1-unit increase in log Adiponectin was associated with a reduction in the mean AC z score [- 0.21 (- 0.35, - 0.07), P = 0.004] and EFW [- 0.23 (- 0.37, - 0.10), P < 0.001] at 28 weeks gestation. Similarly, a 1-unit increase in log Adiponectin was association with a reduction in the mean AC z score [- 0.30 (- 0.46, - 0.13), P < 0.001] and EFW [- 0.24 (- 0.38, - 0.10), P < 0.001] at 36 weeks gestation. There were no consistent associations between maternal cardiometabolic and inflammatory markers with measurements of fetal adiposity. + + CONCLUSION: Adiponectin concentrations are associated with measures of fetal growth.

We evaluated the relation between plasma levels of mtDNA fragments in obese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and measures of chronic inflammation and insulin resistance. In 10 obese T2DM patients and 12 healthy control (HC) subjects, we measured levels of plasma cell-free mtDNA with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and mtDNA damage in skeletal muscle with quantitative alkaline Southern blot. Also, markers of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress in skeletal muscle were measured. Plasma levels of mtDNA fragments, mtDNA damage in skeletal muscle and plasma tumor necrosis factor alpha levels were greater in obese T2DM patients than HC subjects. Also, the abundance of plasma mtDNA fragments in obese T2DM patients levels positively correlated with insulin resistance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published evidence that elevated level of plasma mtDNA fragments is associated with mtDNA damage and oxidative stress in skeletal muscle and correlates with insulin resistance in obese T2DM patients. Plasma mtDNA may be a useful biomarker for predicting and monitoring insulin resistance in obese patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (DNA, Mitochondrial). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

An understanding of lipid metabolism in women at risk of GDM could contribute to earlier diagnosis and treatment. We tested the hypothesis that altered lipid metabolism at the beginning of the second trimester in obese pregnant women is associated with a diagnosis of GDM. Plasma samples from 831 participants (16-45 years, 15-18 weeks gestation, BMI >= 30) from the UPBEAT study of obese pregnant women were used. The lipid, sterol and glyceride fraction was isolated and analysed in a semi-quantitative fashion using direct infusion mass spectrometry. A combination of uni-, multi-variate and multi-variable statistical analyses was used to identify candidate biomarkers in plasma associated with a diagnosis of GDM (early third trimester; IADPSG criteria). Multivariable adjusted analyses showed that participants who later developed GDM had a greater abundance of several triglycerides (48:0, 50:1, 50:2, 51:5, 53:4) and phosphatidylcholine (38:5). In contrast sphingomyelins (32:1, 41:2, 42:3), lyso-phosphatidylcholine (16:0, 18:1), phosphatidylcholines (35:2, 40:7, 40:10), two polyunsaturated triglycerides (46:5, 48:6) and several oxidised triglycerides (48:6, 54:4, 56:4, 58:6) were less abundant. We concluded that both lipid and triglyceride metabolism were altered at least 10 weeks before diagnosis of GDM. Further investigation is required to determine the functional consequences of these differences and the mechanisms by which they arise. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Phospholipids). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Muscle mass secretes proteins called myokines that have relevant functions in the regulation of metabolism and health. This study was aimed to evaluate whether a very low-calorie ketogenic (VLCK) diet may modulate myokine levels, in addition to changes in body composition, compared to a standard, balanced low-calorie (LC) diet or bariatric surgery in patients with obesity. Body composition, ketosis, insulin sensitivity and myokines were evaluated in 79 patients with overweight/obesity after a therapy to lose weight with a VLCK diet, a LC diet or bariatric surgery. The follow-up was 6 months. The weight loss therapies induced changes in myokine levels in association with changes in body composition and biochemical parameters. The effects on circulating myokine levels compared to those at baseline were stronger after the VLCK diet than LC diet or bariatric surgery. Differences reached statistical significance for IL-8, MMP2 and irisin. In conclusion, nutritional interventions or bariatric surgery to lose weight induces changes in circulating myokine levels, being this effect potentially most notable after following a VLCK diet. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (CXCL8 protein, human). 0 (FNDC5 protein, human). 0 (Fibronectins). 0 (Interleukin-8).

This was a prospective study with a sample of 572 individuals aged 25-65 years, who were participants in the cohort study EpiFloripa Adults. Changes in weight (in kg), BMI, and WC between 2012 and 2014 were evaluated as outcomes. The main exposure was the dietary intake of vitamin D (2012), and the 25(OH)D serum concentration was secondary. When the analyses were stratified by the presence of obesity in the baseline, among obese individuals it was observed that those in the extreme categories of vitamin D intake had an average gain of 3.0 kg in weight, 0.9 kg/m2 in BMI, and 1.7-2.7 cm in WC. When 25(OH)D serum concentration were incorporated into the analyses, it was observed that non-obese subjects not having 25(OH)D deficiency had a mean reduction of 2.3 cm in WC. In conclusion, the increases in body weight, BMI, and WC were higher over time in obese patients with deficient 25(OH)D serum concentration, regardless of dietary vitamin D intake. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Vitamins). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D).

Metagenomics and microbiome science have recently emerged as new tools for studying common complex human diseases. We report in this study notable differences in gut microbiome in adult patients with obesity and diabetes in Egypt. The experimental design was based on comparisons of four study groups: (1) Controls (C) with a normal body mass index, without obesity or diabetes, (2) Obese adults (O) without diabetes, (3) adults with diabetes (D) who are not obese, and (4) Adults who are both obese and diabetic (OD). In a total study sample of 60 participants, we sequenced the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Alpha diversity analysis revealed greater diversity in bacterial communities of (D) than controls. Phylum-level analysis identified a trend for overrepresentation of Bacteroidetes (p < 0.07) in (O) and (D) than controls. The ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) displayed a remarkable increase in (OD) than controls. At genus level, Faecalibacterium (p < 0.05) and Akkermansia (p < 0.001) distinguished (O) from controls, while Fusobacterium (p < 0.001) and Bacteroides (p < 0.001) was significantly more abundant in (OD) compared with D. Surprisingly, isoquinoline, quinone and ubiquinone alkaloid biosynthesis were overrepresented in controls compared with other three study groups. Presumably, the latter observation might potentially suggest an antihyperglycemic activity of the gut microbiota. In conclusion, the health state of the adults in our study defined the composition of the gut microbiota. Moreover, obesity and diabetes were associated with remarkably enriched populations of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. The abundance of Fusobacterium is worth further research and exploration as a candidate biomarker for prediabetes especially in obese individuals. The potential antihyperglycemic activity of the gut microbiota is also noteworthy for future studies in other world populations. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (RNA, Ribosomal, 16S). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1089%2fomi.2019.0063 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Salah&issn=1536-2310&title=Omics+a+Journal+of+Integrative+Biology&atitle=New+Insights+on+Obesity+and+Diabetes+from+Gut+Microbiome+Alterations+in+Egyptian+Adults.&volume=23&issue=10&spage=477&epage=485&date=2019&doi=10.1089%2Fomi.2019.0063&pmid=31589561&sid=OVID:medline + +<2012> +Unique Identifier + 31587110 +Title + Metabolomics: a search for biomarkers of visceral fat and liver fat content. +Source + Metabolomics. 15(10):139, 2019 10 05. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Boone S; Mook-Kanamori D; Rosendaal F; den Heijer M; Lamb H; de Roos A; le Cessie S; Willems van Dijk K; de Mutsert R +Authors Full Name + Boone, Sebastiaan; Mook-Kanamori, Dennis; Rosendaal, Frits; den Heijer, Martin; Lamb, Hildo; de Roos, Albert; le Cessie, Saskia; Willems van Dijk, Ko; de Mutsert, Renee. +Institution + Boone, Sebastiaan.

Metabolomics might allow for easier quantification of these ectopic fat depots, instead of using invasive and costly tools such as MRI or approximations such as waist circumference. + + OBJECTIVE: We explored the potential use of plasma metabolites as biomarkers of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and hepatic triglyceride content (HTGC). + + METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of a subset of the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity study. Plasma metabolite profiles were determined using the Biocrates AbsoluteIDQ p150 kit in 176 individuals with normal fasting plasma glucose. VAT was assessed with magnetic resonance imaging and HTGC with proton-MR spectroscopy. We used linear regression to investigate the associations of 190 metabolite variables with VAT and HTGC. + + RESULTS: After adjustment for age, sex, total body fat, currently used approximations of visceral and liver fat, and multiple testing, three metabolite ratios were associated with VAT. The strongest association was the lysophosphatidylcholines to total phosphatidylcholines (PCs) ratio [- 14.1 (95% CI - 21.7; - 6.6) cm2 VAT per SD of metabolite concentration].

However, the role of Tregs in high fat diet (HFD)-induced myocardial fibrosis has not been fully elucidated to date. Therefore, we investigated whether HFD suppresses Tregs activation in the myocardium of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), which aggregates myocardial fibrosis. + + METHODS AND RESULTS: Eight-week-old male SHRs were fed to either HFD or control diet (CHO) groups for 12 weeks. We measured Tregs (CD4+FoxP3+) in the heart and mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs). The flow cytometry analysis confirmed that SHR-HFD exhibited a decreased Tregs compared to that of SHR-CHO in the heart and mediastinal LNs. Furthermore, the CD4 and FoxP3 antigens were used in the immunofluorescence microscopy of Tregs in the heart tissues. In the heart, dual staining for the Treg population was increased more in SHR-CHO than it was in SHR-HFD rats. In line with these findings, SHR-HFD significantly exacerbated myocardial fibrosis. + + CONCLUSION: We found that diet-induced obesity typically showed an exacerbated myocardial fibrosis and down-regulation of Tregs pathway in the heart and mediastinal LNs. Therefore, we suggest that the up-regulation of Tregs may be a promising therapeutic approach to preventing obesity induced heart failure.

Dietary fiber and phytochemicals are bioactive grain compounds, which could be involved in mediating these beneficial effects. These compounds are not equally distributed in the wheat grain, but are enriched in the bran and aleurone fractions. As little is known on physiological effects of different wheat fractions, the aim of this study was to investigate this aspect in an obesity model. For twelve weeks, C57BL/6J mice were fed high-fat diets (HFD), supplemented with one of four wheat fractions: whole grain flour, refined white flour, bran, or aleurone. The different diets did not affect body weight, however bran and aleurone decreased liver triglyceride content, and increased hepatic n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrations. Furthermore, lipidomics analysis revealed increased PUFA concentration in the lipid classes of phosphatidylcholine (PC), PC-ether, and phosphatidylinositol in the plasma of mice fed whole grain, bran, and aleurone supplemented diets, compared to refined white flour. Furthermore, bran, aleurone, and whole grain supplemented diets increased microbial alpha-diversity, but only bran and aleurone increased the cecal concentrations of short-chain fatty acids. The effects on hepatic lipid metabolism might thus at least partially be mediated by microbiota-dependent mechanisms. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Fiber). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Plant Proteins). 0 (aleurone). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Obesity drives an excessive lipid accumulation in adipocytes, which provokes immune cells infiltration, fibrosis (an excess of deposition of ECM components such as collagens, elastin, and fibronectin) and inflammation, considered a consequence of local hypoxia, and ultimately insulin resistance. To understand the mechanism of this process is a challenge to treat the metabolic diseases. This review is focused at identifying the putative role of ECM in adipose tissue, describing its structure and components, its main tissue receptors, and how it is affected in obesity, and subsequently the importance of an appropriate ECM remodeling in adipose tissue expansion to prevent metabolic diseases. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Integrins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Functional changes and gene expression in skin were investigated in C57BL/6J mice fed either a control or high-fat diet (HFD). The insulin responsiveness of the skin and skeletal muscle was also evaluated. The effects of inhibiting insulin signaling and altered glucose concentration on skin function-associated molecules and barrier function were analyzed in keratinocytes. HFD-fed mice were not only severely obese, but also exhibited impaired skin barrier function and diminished levels of glycerol transporter aquaporin-3, keratins, and desmosomal proteins involved in maintaining skin structure. Moreover, the expression of cell cycle regulatory molecules was altered. Insulin signaling was attenuated in the skin and skeletal muscle of HFD-fed mice. In keratinocytes, inhibition of insulin signaling leads to decreased keratin expression and diminished barrier function, and higher glucose concentrations increased the expression of CDK inhibitor 1A and 1C, which are associated with cell-cycle arrest. Obesity-associated impairment of skin function can be attributed to structural fragility, abnormal glycerol transport, and dysregulated proliferation of epidermal cells. These alterations are at least partly due to cutaneous insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

A diet rich in phytoestrogens is associated with a variety of health benefits including decreased risks for heart disease, breast cancer, and osteoporosis. Obesity has long thought to be associated with improved bone density due to increased mechanical loading, but recent literature suggests obesity may actually decrease bone health. Daidzein, a soy-derived phytoestrogen, has been shown to improve parameters of bone health in lean animal models of osteoporosis but has not been tested in obese animals. Following a one-week acclimation to a standard AIN-93G diet, 19 five-week-old female obese Zucker rats (OZR) were randomly assigned to a modified AIN-93G diet containing either high daidzein (HD, 0.121 g kg-1 feed) or low daidzein (LD, 0.01 g kg-1 feed). After 8 weeks, tibias and femurs were removed to assess true density (Archimedes principal), mechanical strength (three-point bending test), and femoral osteogenic gene expression. Serum was collected to assess osteocalcin and deoxypyridinoline. Our results indicated that there were no significant differences between the measures for tibial or femoral true density or mechanical strength for the rats in the HD and LD diet groups. Similarly, there were no significant differences in gene expressions related to osteogenic pathways, or serum biomarkers of bone formation and resorption. Overall, an increased dose of daidzein from soy protein supplementation does not elicit an improvement in markers of bone health in obese Zucker rats. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Isoflavones). 0 (Phytoestrogens). 104982-03-8 (Osteocalcin). 6287WC5J2L (daidzein). 90032-33-0 (deoxypyridinoline). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1039%2fc9fo01292c +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Rochester&issn=2042-6496&title=Food+%26+Function&atitle=A+diet+containing+high-+versus+low-daidzein+does+not+affect+bone+density+and+osteogenic+gene+expression+in+the+obese+Zucker+rat+model.&volume=10&issue=10&spage=6851&epage=6857&date=2019&doi=10.1039%2Fc9fo01292c&pmid=31580380&sid=OVID:medline + +<2018> +Unique Identifier + 31575379 +Title + The impact of body weight and diabetes on new-onset atrial fibrillation: a nationwide population based study. +Source + Cardiovascular Diabetology. 18(1):128, 2019 10 01. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kim YG; Han KD; Choi JI; Boo KY; Kim DY; Oh SK; Lee KN; Shim J; Kim JS; Kim YH +Author NameID + Choi, Jong-Il; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6617-508X +Authors Full Name + Kim, Yun Gi; Han, Kyung-Do; Choi, Jong-Il; Boo, Ki Yung; Kim, Do Young; Oh, Suk-Kyu; Lee, Kwang-No; Shim, Jaemin; Kim, Jin Seok; Kim, Young-Hoon. +Institution + Kim, Yun Gi.

However, it is unclear whether there is any interaction between body weight and diabetes in regard to development of new-onset AF. We aimed to evaluate the role of body weight status and various stage of diabetes on new-onset AF. + + METHODS: This was a nationwide population based study using National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) data. A total of 9,797,418 patients who underwent national health check-ups were analyzed. Patients were classified as underweight [body mass index (BMI) < 18.5], normal reference group (18.5 <= BMI < 23.0), upper normal (23.0 <= BMI < 25.0), overweight (25.0 <= BMI < 30.0), or obese (BMI >= 30.0) based on BMI. Diabetes were categorized as non-diabetic, impaired fasting glucose (IFG), new-onset diabetes, diabetes < 5 years, and diabetes >= 5 years. Primary outcome end point was new-onset AF. New-onset AF was defined as one inpatient or two outpatient records of International Classification of Disease, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes in patients without prior AF diagnosis. + + RESULTS: During 80,130,161 patient*years follow-up, a total of 196,136 new-onset AF occurred. Obese [hazard ration (HR) = 1.327], overweight (HR = 1.123), upper normal (HR = 1.040), and underweight (HR = 1.055) patients showed significantly increased risk of new-onset AF compared to the normal reference group. Gradual escalation in the risk of new-onset AF was observed along with advancing diabetic stage. Body weight status and diabetes were independently associated with new-onset AF and at the same time, had synergistic effects on the risk of new-onset AF with obese diabetic patients having the highest risk (HR = 1.823). + + CONCLUSIONS: Patients with obesity, overweight, underweight, and diabetes had significantly increased risk of new-onset AF. Body weight status and diabetes had synergistic effects on the risk of new-onset AF. The risk of new-onset AF increased gradually with advancing diabetic stage. This study suggests that maintaining optimal body weight and glucose homeostasis might prevent new-onset AF. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Lifestyle changes are important in secondary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD). We compared the effects of combined weight loss and interval training with interval training alone on physical fitness, body composition, dyslipidaemia and low-grade inflammation in overweight, sedentary participants with CAD. + + METHODS: Seventy CAD patients, BMI 28-40 kg/m2 and age 45-75 years were randomised to (1) 12 weeks' aerobic interval training (AIT) at 90% of peak heart rate three times/week followed by 40 weeks' AIT twice weekly or (2) a low energy diet (LED) (800-1000 kcal/day) for 8-10 weeks followed by 40 weeks' weight maintenance including AIT twice weekly and a high-protein/low-glycaemic load diet. Effects of the intervention were evaluated by physical fitness, body weight and composition. Dyslipidaemia was described using both biochemical analysis of lipid concentrations and lipoprotein particle subclass distribution determined by density profiling. Low-grade inflammation was determined by C-reactive protein, soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor and tumour necrosis factor alpha. Effects on continuous outcomes were tested by mixed-models analysis. + + RESULTS: Twenty-six (74%) AIT and 29 (83%) LED + AIT participants completed the study. At baseline subject included 43 (78%) men; subjects averages were: age 63 years (6.2), body weight 95.9 kg (12.2) and VO2peak 20.7 mL O2/kg/min (4.9). Forty-six (84%) had pre-diabetes (i.e. impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance). LED + AIT reduced body weight by 7.2 kg (- 8.4; - 6.1) and waist circumference by 6.6 cm (- 7.7; - 5.5) compared to 1.7 kg (- 0.7; - 2.6) and 3.3 cm (- 5.1; - 1.5) after AIT (within-group p < 0.001, between-group p < 0.001 and p = 0.018, respectively). Treatments caused similar changes in VO2peak and lowering of total cholesterol, triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol and low-grade inflammation. A shift toward larger HDL particles was seen following LED + AIT while AIT elicited no change. + + CONCLUSIONS: Both interventions were feasible. Both groups obtained improvements in VO2peak, serum-lipids and inflammation with superior weight loss and greater central fat loss following LED + AIT. Combined LED induced weight loss and exercise can be recommended to CAD patients.

Both are strongly predictive of atrial fibrillation (AF). Their potential interaction in relation to incident AF, however, has not been explored. Methods and Results In total, 9556 participants of the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study who had 2 measurements of NT-proBNP and no baseline AF or heart failure were followed from 1996 to 1998 through 2016 for the occurrence of incident AF. Participants were categorized as obese (body mass index >=30) and nonobese (body mass index <30) and by NT-proBNP levels (using the median of 68.2 pg/mL as the cutoff). Over a median follow-up of 18.3 years, we identified 1806 incident cases of AF. Analysis using multivariable Cox regression models showed that obese participants with high NT-proBNP levels at visit 4 had a higher adjusted risk of incident AF (hazard ratio: 3.64; 95% CI, 3.15-4.22) compared with nonobese individuals with low NT-proBNP levels. The association of obesity with AF risk was not modified by NT-proBNP levels (P=0.46 for interaction). Increasing BNP among participants from 1990-1992 to 1996-1998 was associated with increased AF risk. After further adjustment for clinical risk factors and medications, results were similar. Conclusions Individuals who had both elevated body mass index and NT-proBNP and were free of clinically recognized heart failure were at higher risk of AF development. Those who experienced an increase in NT-proBNP levels between visits 2 and 4 were at higher risk of AF. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Peptide Fragments). 0 (pro-brain natriuretic peptide (1-76)). 114471-18-0 (Natriuretic Peptide, Brain). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Research investigating the role of chemerin in the obesity-cancer relationship has provided evidence both for pro- and anti-cancer effects. The tumor-promoting effects of chemerin primarily involve direct effects on migration, invasion, and metastasis as well as growth and proliferation of cancer cells. Chemerin can also promote tumor growth via the recruitment of tumor-supporting mesenchymal stromal cells and stimulation of angiogenesis pathways in endothelial cells. In contrast, the majority of evidence supports that the tumor-suppressing effects of chemerin are immune-mediated and result in a shift from immunosuppressive to immunogenic cell populations within the tumor microenvironment. Systemic chemerin and chemerin produced within the tumor microenvironment may contribute to these effects via signaling through CMKLR1 (chemerin1), GPR1 (chemerin2), and CCLR2 on target cells. As such, inhibition or activation of chemerin signaling could be beneficial as a therapeutic approach depending on the type of cancer. Additional studies are required to determine if obesity influences cancer initiation or progression through increased adipose tissue production of chemerin and/or altered chemerin processing that leads to changes in chemerin signaling in the tumor microenvironment. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adipokines). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Chemokines). 0 (RARRES2 protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim of the study was to assess the markers of oxidative stress in plasma at different stages of OSA in non-smoking obese Caucasian males aged 41-60, with normal oral glucose tolerance test. All patients were subjected to clinical and polysomnographic examinations. The stage of OSA severity was set according to the following criteria of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): AHI < 5/h - no disease (OSA-0; n = 26), AHI 5-15/h - mild disease (OSA-1; n = 26), AHI 16-30/h - moderate disease (OSA-2: n = 27), and AHI > 30/h obstructive episodes per hour - severe disease (OSA-3; n = 27). Plasma total antioxidant status (TAS) and thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS), reflecting the level of lipid peroxides, were determined spectrophotometrically. We found that TAS decreased and TBARS increased significantly from OSA-0 to OSA-3. We conclude that the oxidative stress markers are conducive to setting the severity of OSA in normoglycemic patients. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipid Peroxides). 0 (Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1007%2f5584_2019_433 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Cofta&issn=0065-2598&title=Advances+in+Experimental+Medicine+%26+Biology&atitle=Oxidative+Stress+Markers+and+Severity+of+Obstructive+Sleep+Apnea.&volume=1222&issue=&spage=27&epage=35&date=2019&doi=10.1007%2F5584_2019_433&pmid=31559568&sid=OVID:medline + +<2023> +Unique Identifier + 31539362 +Title + Effect of home-based strength training program on IGF-I, IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 in obese Latino boys participating in a 16-week randomized controlled trial. +Source + Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism. 32(10):1121-1129, 2019 Oct 25. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Kelly L; Holmberg PM; Schroeder ET; Loza A; Lin X; Moody A; Hughes A; Gibson AM; Kirk A +Authors Full Name + Kelly, Louise; Holmberg, Patrick M; Schroeder, E Todd; Loza, Armando; Lin, Xiao; Moody, Alastai; Hughes, Adrienne; Gibson, Ann-Marie; Kirk, Alison. +Institution + Kelly, Louise.

In accord, regular exercise is linked with a lower risk of cancer. Purpose To assess the effects of a 16-week home-based strength training (HBST) program on serum IGF-I, IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3. Methods A total of 32 obese Latino adolescent males (aged 14-18 years) were randomized into a twice-weekly HBST (n = 16) or a control group (C, n = 16) for 16 weeks. The following were measured at pre- and post-intervention: IGF-I, IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3, glucose/insulin indices by oral and/or intravenous (IV) glucose tolerance tests, strength by one-repetition maximum (1RM), dietary intake by 3-d records, body composition by DEXA and physical activity using the Actigraph GT1X. The generalized linear model (GLM) was used to assess differences in changes among outcome measures between the HBST and C groups. Results Exercise adherence in the HBST group was 89%. IGF-1 showed a trend for significant within-subject improvements (p = 0.078) but no significant within-subject or between-subject differences for IGFBP-1, IGFBP-3 two-glucose, fasting glucose or 2-h glucose (p > 0.05). There was a significant decrease (p > 0.05) in fasting glucose in the C group (p = 0.02) and also in the intervention group (p = 0.03) between baseline and follow-up testing. A significant difference was also found in the C group for 2-h glucose with an increase at follow-up testing (p = 0.04). Conclusions Though not statistically significant (p < 0.05), the results indicated that a 16-week HBST program decreased IGF-I and increased IGFBP-1, along with IGFBP-3, concentrations among overweight/obese Latino boys. However, further studies should consider increasing either the dose or the duration of the intervention to elicit greater improvements in this at-risk pediatric population. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (IGF1 protein, human). 0 (IGFBP1 protein, human). 0 (IGFBP3 protein, human). 0 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 1). 0 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3). 67763-96-6 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor I). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

A sample of 448 overweight and obese individuals underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and measured serum ALT along with supplementary blood samples at study baseline. Body fat mass and lean mass indexes were calculated by dividing total body fat/lean weight (kg) by body height squared (kg/m2). ALT correlated with body mass index (BMI) in men but not women (r = 0.33, P < 0.0001 vs. r = 0.06, P = 0.29). In men, serum ALT correlated positively with fat mass index (r = 0.23, P = 0.004) and lean mass index (r = 0.32, P < 0.0001). In women, ALT correlated with lean mass index (r = 0.13, P = 0.031) but not fat mass index (r = 0.003, P = 0.96). In a multivariate model adjusted for age and fat mass index, a 1-unit increase in lean mass index associated with a 0.37 U/L higher ALT in the male subgroup (95% CI 0.024 to 0.040, P < 0.0001). In conclusion, serum ALT was associated with body fat mass index in men and with lean mass index in men and women in an overweight and obese population. The findings also demonstrate a gender difference in the role of fat. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

For all children, we assessed the diagnosis and severity of flatfoot as well as plasma adipocytes, as well as adiponectin, leptin, resistin, IL-6, and TNF-alpha, using the Dennis method and immunoassay techniques respectively. Foot pain was assessed by using a standard VAS of 100 mm and Faces Pain Scale, respectively. + + RESULTS: Flat foot was predicted in 30.4% of school-age children, most of them showed a higher frequency of overweight (33.3%) and obesity (62.5%). Boys showed higher ranges of flat foot than girls. Foot pain significantly correlated with flat foot and obesity among the studied populations. In overweight-obese children, plasmatic adipocyte variables, as well as adiponectin, leptin, resistin, IL-6, TNF-alpha showed significant correlations with foot stance, especially in boys. Also, the studied adipocyte variables along with BMI, age, gender explained about~65% of the variance of flatfoot with pain among our school-age students. + + CONCLUSION: Foot pain showed an association with flat foot and childhood obesity in 30.4% of school-age students (6-12 years). Foot pain was shown to correlate positively with the incidence of flat foot and changes in adiposity markers, as well as adiponectin, leptin, resistin, Il-6, TNF-alpha. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Resistin). 0 (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1590%2f1806-9282.65.8.1061 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Alghadir&issn=0104-4230&title=Revista+Da+Associacao+Medica+Brasileira&atitle=Plasmatic+adipocyte+biomarkers+and+foot+pain+associated+with+flatfoot+in+schoolchildren+with+obesity.&volume=65&issue=8&spage=1061&epage=1066&date=2019&doi=10.1590%2F1806-9282.65.8.1061&pmid=31531602&sid=OVID:medline + +<2026> +Unique Identifier + 31530820 +Title + Discrepant gut microbiota markers for the classification of obesity-related metabolic abnormalities. +Source + Scientific Reports. 9(1):13424, 2019 09 17. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Zeng Q; Li D; He Y; Li Y; Yang Z; Zhao X; Liu Y; Wang Y; Sun J; Feng X; Wang F; Chen J; Zheng Y; Yang Y; Sun X; Xu X; Wang D; Kenney T; Jiang Y; Gu H; Li Y; Zhou K; Li S; Dai W +Authors Full Name + Zeng, Qiang; Li, Dongfang; He, Yuan; Li, Yinhu; Yang, Zhenyu; Zhao, Xiaolan; Liu, Yanhong; Wang, Yu; Sun, Jing; Feng, Xin; Wang, Fei; Chen, Jiaxing; Zheng, Yuejie; Yang, Yonghong; Sun, Xuelin; Xu, Ximing; Wang, Daxi; Kenney, Toby; Jiang, Yiqi; Gu, Hong; Li, Yongli; Zhou, Ke; Li, Shuaicheng; Dai, Wenkui. +Institution + Zeng, Qiang.

To detect GM markers for obesity in patients with different metabolic abnormalities and investigate their relationships with clinical indicators, 1,914 Chinese adults were enrolled for 16S rRNA gene sequencing in this retrospective study. Based on GM composition, Random forest classifiers were constructed to screen the obesity patients with (Group OA) or without metabolic diseases (Group O) from healthy individuals (Group H), and high accuracies were observed for the discrimination of Group O and Group OA (areas under the receiver operating curve (AUC) equal to 0.68 and 0.76, respectively). Furthermore, six GM markers were shared by obesity patients with various metabolic disorders (Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, Blautia, Alistipes, Romboutsia and Roseburia). As for the discrimination with Group O, Group OA exhibited low accuracy (AUC = 0.57). Nonetheless, GM classifications to distinguish between Group O and the obese patients with specific metabolic abnormalities were not accurate (AUC values from 0.59 to 0.66). Common biomarkers were identified for the obesity patients with high uric acid, high serum lipids and high blood pressure, such as Clostridium XIVa, Bacteroides and Roseburia. A total of 20 genera were associated with multiple significant clinical indicators. For example, Blautia, Romboutsia, Ruminococcus2, Clostridium sensu stricto and Dorea were positively correlated with indicators of bodyweight (including waistline and body mass index) and serum lipids (including low density lipoprotein, triglyceride and total cholesterol). In contrast, the aforementioned clinical indicators were negatively associated with Bacteroides, Roseburia, Butyricicoccus, Alistipes, Parasutterella, Parabacteroides and Clostridium IV. Generally, these biomarkers hold the potential to predict obesity-related metabolic abnormalities, and interventions based on these biomarkers might be beneficial to weight loss and metabolic risk improvement. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The aim of this study was to investigate: (1) the association of somatotropic axis with cardiometabolic status; (2) the association of somatotropic axis with the Mediterranean diet and nutritional pattern in people with obesity. Cross-sectional observational study was carried out in 200 adult women, aged 36.98 +/- 11.10 years with severe obesity (body mass index-BMI of 45.19 +/- 6.30 kg/m2). The adherence to the Mediterranean diet and the total calorie intake was assessed. Anthropometric measurements, body composition and biochemical profile were determined along with Growth Hormone (GH)/Insulin like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) axis and insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance-HoMA-IR). The enrolled subjects were compared after being divided according to GH peak response and according to IGF-1 standard deviation scores (SDS). Derangements of GH peak were detected in 61.5% of studied patients while IGF-1 deficiency was detected in 71% of the population. Both blunted GH peak response and IGF-1 SDS were indicators of derangements of somatotropic axis and were associated with comparable results in terms of cardiometabolic sequelae. Both GH peak and IGF-1 levels were inversely associated with anthropometric and metabolic parameters. The adherence to the Mediterranean diet predicts GH peak response. Fatty liver index (FLI), fat mass (FM) and phase angle (PhA) were predictive factors of GH peak response as well. In conclusion derangements of somatotropic axis is associated with a worse cardiometabolic profile in people with obesity. A high adherence to the Mediterranean diet-and in particular protein intake-was associated with a better GH status. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Dietary Proteins). 0 (IGF1 protein, human). 12629-01-5 (Human Growth Hormone). 67763-96-6 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor I). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Forty male Wistar rats were divided into two groups of control receiving a normal diet (ND) and intervention receiving a high-fat diet (HFD). After 16 weeks, each group was divided into two groups including ND, ND + vitamin D, HFD, and HFD + vitamin D. Vitamin D was administered by oral gavage for five weeks at the dose of 500 IU/kg. Hepatic MCP-1, TGF-beta, and NF-kappaB levels, serum liver enzymes, and serum lipids, and histological and structural changes in the liver were determined. Vitamin D administration significantly reduced the monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 concentrations in the HFD + vitamin D group compared with the HFD group and reduced liver Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) levels in both vitamin D-treated groups (p<0.05). Moreover, a significant reduction in the serum levels of aspartate amino transferase (AST) and alanine amino transferase (ALT) in vitamin D treated groups was identified (p<0.05). A significant improvement in lipids and a pronounced improvement in the markers of liver histology damage including fat accumulation, aggregation of inflammatory cells, pre-apoptotic changes, hepatic sinusoidal dilatation, and necrotic pyknosis in the Kupffer cells were also identified. Our results demonstrated that vitamin D has potential effects in ameliorating the inflammatory, metabolic, and histologic changes in the liver of these animals. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 1406-16-2 (Vitamin D). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.18502%2fijaai.v18i4.1418 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Yaghchiyan&issn=1735-1502&title=Iranian+Journal+of+Allergy+Asthma+%26+Immunology&atitle=Histologic%2C+Metabolic%2C+and+Inflammatory+Changes+in+the+Liver+of+High-fat+Diet-induced+Obese+Rats+before+and+after+Vitamin+D+Administration.&volume=18&issue=4&spage=402&epage=411&date=2019&doi=10.18502%2Fijaai.v18i4.1418&pmid=31522448&sid=OVID:medline + +<2029> +Unique Identifier + 31514469 +Title + Obesity Status Affects the Relationship Between Protein Intake and Insulin Sensitivity in Late Pregnancy. +Source + Nutrients. 11(9), 2019 Sep 11. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Allman BR; Diaz Fuentes E; Williams DK; Turner DE; Andres A; Borsheim E +Authors Full Name + Allman, Brittany R; Diaz Fuentes, Eva; Williams, D Keith; Turner, Donald E; Andres, Aline; Borsheim, Elisabet. +Institution + Allman, Brittany R.

A 100-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was administered following an overnight fast to estimate the metabolic clearance rate of glucose (MCR, mg . kg-1 . min-1) using four different equations accounting for the availability of blood samples. Total (TP), animal (AP), and plant (PP) protein intakes were assessed using a 3-day food record. Two linear models with MCR as the response variable were fitted to the data to estimate the relationship of protein intake to insulin sensitivity either unadjusted or adjusted for early pregnancy body mass index (BMI) because of the potential of BMI to influence this relationship. There was a positive association between TP (beta = 1.37, p = 0.002) and PP (beta = 4.44, p < 0.001) intake in the last trimester of pregnancy and insulin sensitivity that weakened when accounting for early pregnancy BMI.

Batsch is a deciduous fruit tree cultivated worldwide. The flower of P. persica (PPF), commonly called the peach blossom, is currently consumed as a tea for weight loss in East Asia; however, its anti-obesity effects have yet to be demonstrated in vitro or in vivo. Since PPF is rich in phytochemicals with anti-obesity properties, we aimed to investigate the effects of PPF on obesity and its underlying mechanism using a diet-induced obesity model. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed either normal diet, high-fat diet (HFD), or HFD containing 0.2% or 0.6% PPF water extract for 8 weeks. PPF significantly reduced body weight, abdominal fat mass, serum glucose, alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase levels, and liver and spleen weights compared to the HFD control group. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that PPF suppressed lipogenic gene expression, including stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 and -2 and fatty acid synthase, and up-regulated the fatty acid beta-oxidation gene, carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1, in the liver. Our results suggest that PPF exerts anti-obesity effects in obese mice and these beneficial effects might be mediated through improved hepatic lipid metabolism by reducing lipogenesis and increasing fatty acid oxidation. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acids). 0 (Plant Extracts). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3390%2fnu11092176 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Song&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Anti-Obesity+Effects+of+the+Flower+of+Prunus+persica+in+High-Fat+Diet-Induced+Obese+Mice.&volume=11&issue=9&spage=&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.3390%2Fnu11092176&pmid=31514294&sid=OVID:medline + +<2031> +Unique Identifier + 31509979 +Title + Consumption of Raw Orange, 100% Fresh Orange Juice, and Nectar- Sweetened Orange Juice-Effects on Blood Glucose and Insulin Levels on Healthy Subjects. +Source + Nutrients. 11(9), 2019 Sep 10. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Papandreou D; Magriplis E; Abboud M; Taha Z; Karavolia E; Karavolias C; Zampelas A +Author NameID + Magriplis, Emmanouella; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6517-6857 +Authors Full Name + Papandreou, Dimitrios; Magriplis, Emmanouella; Abboud, Myriam; Taha, Zainab; Karavolia, Eleftheria; Karavolias, Christos; Zampelas, Antonis. +Institution + Papandreou, Dimitrios.

Blood records of thirteen normal weight and seven healthy obese university students were analyzed from Zayed University on three random days with the following three meal samples: 2 ROs, 100% FOJ, and NSOJ. Venous blood was collected at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after the respective meal consumption. Statistical analyses included repeated measures analysis of variance and calculations of the area under the glucose and insulin curves (AUC) for each one of the meal samples. + + RESULTS: Total fasting glucose and insulin levels did not differ by treatment in the normal versus obese group. All three meals had no significant effects on the plasma glucose levels. However, there was a significant change in plasma insulin concentrations at 120 min compared with that at 0 min for RO: -14 (-27.05, -0.90, P < 0.001); 100% FOJ -13.7 (-28.80, 1.44, P < 0.001); and NSOJ: -9.2 (-28.75, 10.30, P < 0.001). + + CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that whole fresh fruit, 100% fruit juice, and sweetened fruit juice did not have a significant effect on the blood glucose levels in non-diabetic Emirati university students. However, a significant decrease in insulin response and HOMA-IR on all three sample meals was observed. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). 0 (Plant Nectar). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Patients were allocated, according to the occurrence of menopause and body mass index (BMI), into four groups: PM0 (premenopausal non-obese), PM1 (premenopausal obese), M0 (postmenopausal non-obese), and M1 (postmenopausal obese). Serum levels of gonadotropins, sex hormones, lipid markers, leptin, hs-CRP and interleukin-6 were obtained using either colorimetric or immunoenzymatic assays. Univariate and correlation analyses were performed among all clinical and laboratorial parameters. Principal component analysis was used to characterize subsets of biomarkers, which had their discriminatory capacity tested using discriminant function analysis. + + RESULTS: Levels of gonadotropins and female sex hormones were similar between PM0 and PM1 and between M0 and M1 (p > 0.05), all of them varied between PM0 and M0 (p < 0.05), but only estradiol was significantly altered in the comparison between PM1 and M1 (p = 0.027). Regarding metabolic markers, leptin was lower in PM0 than in M0 (p = 0.010) and higher in M1 than in M0 (p = 0.046). In premenopausal women, BMI correlated only to leptin, while it correlated to several other markers in postmenopausal women. A combination of FSH and leptin serum levels significantly discriminated the four groups (Wilks's lambda < 0.001, in canonical functions 1 and 2). + + CONCLUSION: A combined analysis of hormonal biomarkers may potentially distinguish obese from non-obese women with distinct menopause status. Further research is thus required to clarify the clinical significance of such findings. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Gonadal Steroid Hormones). 0 (Gonadotropins). 0 (Interleukin-6). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Lipids). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

More and more studies have been conducted on the relationship between H. pylori infection and obesity or overweight. But the relationship between them is controversial in the literatures and there is no comprehensive evidence for the correlation. + + AIM: To evaluate the prevalence of H. pylori infection in Chinese adult subjects who received routine physical examinations and the relationship between H. pylori and obesity. + + METHODS: Literatures on H. pylori infection and obesity in Chinese population were searched in online databases. Relevant data were extracted independently by two researchers and meta-analysis was performed by using Review manager 5.3 software. + + RESULTS: 22 articles were selected with a total sample size of 178033. The pooled prevalence of H. pylori was 42% (95%CI: 37% to 47%) and mean difference of BMI between subjects with and without H. pylori infection was 0.94 (95%CI: -0.04 to 1.91). 9 eligible studies with 27111 subjects were used to calculated pooled OR value because they contained obesity groups. The OR value showed that H. pylori-positive subjects tended to be obese at a risk of 1.20 (95% CI: 1.13 to 1.28). + + CONCLUSION: In China, obesity has association with H. pylori infection. H. pylori infection may be one of the risk factors for obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article. Meta-Analysis.

The present study aims to evaluate the changes in adipocytokines, bile acids, fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF-19) and pro-inflammatory cytokines 6 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). + + METHODS: This prospective study included 75 obese patients with body mass index >35 kg/m2 who underwent LSG. All patients were recruited preoperatively and followed up post-operatively at 6 months, with laboratory assessment of their cytokines including adiponectin, leptin, resistin, bile acid, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, tumour necrosis factor-alpha, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, serum amyloid-A and FGF-19. + + RESULTS: There were statistically highly significant changes regarding anthropometric parameters (weight, body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio), blood glucose and lipid profile as well as liver enzymes at 6 months post-sleeve gastrectomy. The present study showed that the levels of serum adiponectin and FGF-19 significantly increased at 6 months of follow-up after surgery (P < 0.001), while the levels of serum leptin, resistin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and serum amyloid-A significantly decreased at 6 months of follow-up after surgery (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences regarding serum bile acid, IL-6, IL-8, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and monocyte chemotactic protein-1. + + CONCLUSION: Weight loss after LSG is associated with significant improvement of the adipokine levels towards anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory profiles. Future studies should use a larger sample size and longer follow-up periods.

Obesity and low-grade chronic inflammation are frequently associated with PCOS. Recently, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR)-derived glycoprotein profiles have emerged as potential biomarkers that reflect systemic inflammation in type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other pathological processes. The aim of this work is to study plasma glycoprotein profiles as metabolic/inflammatory biomarkers underlying PCOS and its association with inflammation and obesity. We used 1H-NMR spectroscopy to study five glycoprotein variables, namely GlycA, GlycB, and GlycF and the height-to-width (H/W) ratio of GlycA and GlycB, in 17 women with PCOS (9 non-obese and 8 obese), 17 control women (9 non-obese and 8 obese), and 19 healthy men (10 non-obese and 9 obese). H/W ratios of GlycA and GlycB, but not glycoprotein areas, were specifically associated with PCOS independently of obesity. When considered as a whole, obese subjects presented higher GlycA, GlycB, and GlycF areas and higher H/W GlycA and GlycB ratios than their non-obese counterparts. All glycoprotein variables were associated with hsCRP, IL-6, and TNF-alpha, showing different correlations among PCOS, women, and men. Our present exploratory results suggest that 1H-NMR-derived glycoprotein profiles might serve as novel diagnostic markers of low-grade chronic inflammation in women with PCOS. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glycoproteins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The purpose of this review is to summarize recent findings regarding FABP functions and mechanisms of action, including their potential utilization as serum markers of tissue-specific metabolic diseases. + + RECENT FINDINGS: FABPs are important not only in their tissues of origin but also appear to influence the metabolism and function of tissues distal to their sites of expression. This may be secondary to metabolic changes in their primary tissues, and/or a result of FABP secretion from these tissues leading to effects on distal sites. Their levels in the circulation are increasingly explored as potential biomarkers for tissue-specific disease prognosis and progression. + + SUMMARY: The nine fatty acid-binding members of the FABP family have unique tissue-specific functions and important secondary effects on tissues in which they are not expressed. For many of the FABPs, circulating levels may be indicative of disease processes related to their primary tissues, and may influence physiological function in distal tissues. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Fatty Acid-Binding Proteins). 0 (Fatty Acids). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Although the fat-intestine-kidney axis has been documented, the pathomechanism and therapeutic targets of obese kidney fibrosis remain unelucidated. To mimic obese humans with metabolic endotoxemia, high-fat-diet-fed mice (HF group) were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to yield the obese kidney fibrosis-metabolic endotoxemia mouse model (HL group). Therapeutic effects of ROS, cytosolic phospholipases A2 (cPLA2) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors were analyzed with a quantitative comparison of immunohistochemistry stains and morphometric approach in the tubulointerstitium of different groups. Compared with basal and HF groups, the HL group exhibited the most prominent obese kidney fibrosis, tubular epithelial lipid vacuoles, and lymphocyte infiltration in the tubulointerstitium. Furthermore, inhibitors of nonspecific ROS, cPLA2 and COX-2 ameliorated the above renal damages. Notably, the ROS-inhibitor-treated group ameliorated not only oxidative injury but also the expression of cPLA2 and COX-2, indicating that ROS functions as the upstream signaling molecule in the inflammatory cascade of obese kidney fibrosis. ROS acts as a key messenger in the signaling transduction of obese kidney fibrosis, activating downstream cPLA2 and COX-2. The given antioxidant treatment ameliorates obese kidney fibrosis resulting from a combined high-fat diet and LPS-ROS could serve as a potential therapeutic target of obese kidney fibrosis with metabolic endotoxemia. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Reactive Oxygen Species).

Cord blood metabolomics is one approach that can be used to understand early-life contributors to adiposity and insulin resistance. + + OBJECTIVE: To determine the association of cord blood metabolites with newborn adiposity and hyperinsulinemia in a multiethnic cohort of newborns. + + DESIGN: Cross-sectional, observational study. + + SETTING: Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome study. + + PARTICIPANTS: One thousand six hundred multiethnic mother-newborn pairs. + + MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Cord blood C-peptide, birthweight, and newborn sum of skinfolds. + + RESULTS: Meta-analyses across four ancestry groups (Afro-Caribbean, Northern European, Thai, and Mexican American) demonstrated significant associations of cord blood metabolites with cord blood C-peptide, birthweight, and newborn sum of skinfolds. Several metabolites, including branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines, nonesterified fatty acids, and triglycerides were negatively associated with cord C-peptide but positively associated with birthweight and/or sum of skinfolds. 1,5-Anhydroglucitol, an inverse marker of recent maternal glycemia, was significantly inversely associated with birthweight and sum of skinfolds. Network analyses revealed groups of interrelated amino acid, acylcarnitine, and fatty acid metabolites associated with all three newborn outcomes. + + CONCLUSIONS: Cord blood metabolites are associated with newborn size and cord blood C-peptide levels after adjustment for maternal body mass index and glucose during pregnancy. Negative associations of metabolites with C-peptide at birth were observed. 1,5-Anhydroglucitol appears to be a marker of adiposity in newborns. BCAAs were individually associated with birthweight and demonstrated possible associations with newborn adiposity in network analyses.

Animals were subjected to physical strength training and high fat diet consumption for 12weeks, 3 session per week. Then, the animals were euthanized, and liver markers were evaluated via immunolabeling. + + KEY FINDINGS: Our results indicated that strength training reduced the expression of adiposity as well as the accumulation of glycogen and lipids in the liver. This reduction of fatty acid (FA) stored in hepatocytes is related to reduction of proteins linked to beta-oxidation such as Fas/CD95, LIMP-II and CD36, as well as other proteins linked to lipogeneses such as SREBP-1. + + SIGNIFICANCE: Finally, we observed that high fat diet can alter lipogenesis and reduce beta-oxidation promoted hepatic fat accumulation. In conclusion, there was a reduction of obesity-related hepatic lipogenesis after 12weeks of strength training. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

Treatments that stimulate lipid utilization may prevent the development of obesity and comorbidities. This study evaluated the potential anti-obesogenic hepatoprotective effects of combined treatment with L-carnitine and nicotinamide riboside, i.e., components that can enhance fatty acid transfer across the inner mitochondrial membrane and increase nicotinamide adenine nucleotide (NAD+) levels, which are necessary for beta-oxidation and the TCA cycle, respectively. Ldlr -/-.Leiden mice were treated with high-fat diet (HFD) supplemented with L-carnitine (LC; 0.4% w/w), nicotinamide riboside (NR; 0.3% w/w) or both (COMBI) for 21 weeks. L-carnitine plasma levels were reduced by HFD and normalized by LC. NR supplementation raised its plasma metabolite levels demonstrating effective delivery. Although food intake and ambulatory activity were comparable in all groups, COMBI treatment significantly attenuated HFD-induced body weight gain, fat mass gain (-17%) and hepatic steatosis (-22%). Also, NR and COMBI reduced hepatic 4-hydroxynonenal adducts. Upstream-regulator gene analysis demonstrated that COMBI reversed detrimental effects of HFD on liver metabolism pathways and associated regulators, e.g., ACOX, SCAP, SREBF, PPARGC1B, and INSR. Combination treatment with LC and NR exerts protective effects on metabolic pathways and constitutes a new approach to attenuate HFD-induced obesity and NAFLD. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Pyridinium Compounds). 0I8H2M0L7N (nicotinamide-beta-riboside). 25X51I8RD4 (Niacinamide).

Trajectories of the COP were assessed while the subjects were standing quietly with eyes open (EO) and closed (EC). Both in the sagittal (AP) and frontal (ML) planes the sway range, average velocity, and maximal velocity of COP were calculated. Moreover, the total average and maximal velocities were computed. In the obese group, the tests were performed twice-before and after the obesity treatment. A greater (18% in EC) AP sway range and a substantial reduction of ML sway (25% in EO, 22% in EC) were observed in the obese women. The total COP velocities (average and maximal) were decreased in obese women (20% and 20% in EO) as well as the velocities in the frontal plane (EO: 33%, 41%; EC: 34%, 40%). Body weight reduction resulted in significant changes in postural sway. The following parameters increased: ML sway range (28% in EO), average (20% in EO, 16% in EC) and maximal ML (20% in EO) velocities. The results indicate that young obese women in the habitual standing position are characterized by the destabilizing influence of mass in the sagittal plane only in the absence of a visual control. This effect is dominated by the stabilizing mass effect in the frontal plane, which affects overall postural stability when standing. The reduction of body mass enables a decrease in ML static stability, likely due to natural changes in the base of support while standing. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Here we aimed to explore the renal consequences in the same groups of rats. Male Long-Evans rats were fed normal chow (CON; n = 9) or HFD containing 40% lard and were administered STZ at 20 mg/kg (i.p.) at week four (prediabetic rats, PRED, n = 9). At week 21 blood and urine samples were taken and kidney and liver samples were collected for histology, immunohistochemistry and for analysis of gene expression. HFD and STZ increased body weight and visceral adiposity and plasma leptin concentration. Despite hyperleptinemia, plasma C-reactive protein concentration decreased in PRED rats. Immunohistochemistry revealed elevated collagen IV protein expression in the glomeruli, and Lcn2 mRNA expression increased, while Il-1beta mRNA expression decreased in both the renal cortex and medulla in PRED vs. CON rats. Kidney histology, urinary protein excretion, plasma creatinine, glomerular Feret diameter, desmin protein expression, and cortical and medullary mRNA expression of TGF-beta1, Nrf2, and PPARgamma were similar in CON and PRED rats. Reduced AMPKalpha phosphorylation of the autophagy regulator Akt was the first sign of liver damage, while plasma lipid and liver enzyme concentrations were similar. In conclusion, glomerular collagen deposition and increased lipocalin-2 expression were the early signs of kidney injury, while most biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress and fibrosis were negative in the kidneys of obese, prediabetic rats with mild heart and liver injury. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Lipids). 0 (Lipocalin-2). 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (RNA, Messenger). 17885-08-4 (Phosphoserine). 5W494URQ81 (Streptozocin). 9007-34-5 (Collagen).

We obtained cardiac magnetic resonance, serum cytokines levels, and their relative mRNA expressions in EF, PF, and perivascular fat samples of the following: adrenomedullin (ADM), fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta), phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE), thrombospondin 1 (THSB1), and uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). + + RESULTS: There were no differences in the anthropometric parameters or fat depots, except for higher epicardial fat volume in patients with DM (mean [SD], 105.6 [38.5] ml vs 84 [29.2] ml; P = 0.02). Patients with DM exhibited a significantly increased RAGE expression in EF (median [Q1-Q3], 0.17 [0.06-1.48] AU vs 0.08 [0.02-0.24] AU, P = 0.03). Diabetes was also associated with increased expression of ADM in EF and PF and decreased expression of FGF21 compared with patients without DM. + + CONCLUSIONS: Patients with multivessel CAD and DM revealed increased volume and more dysfunctional profile of gene expressions in EF and significantly decreased expression of cardioprotective FGF21. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.20452%2fpamw.14961 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Haberka&issn=0032-3772&title=Polish+Archives+Of+Internal+Medicine&atitle=Epicardial%2C+paracardial%2C+and+perivascular+fat+quantity%2C+gene+expressions%2C+and+serum+cytokines+in+patients+with+coronary+artery+disease+and+diabetes.&volume=129&issue=11&spage=738&epage=746&date=2019&doi=10.20452%2Fpamw.14961&pmid=31479091&sid=OVID:medline + +<2044> +Unique Identifier + 31479035 +Title + Comparative effects of high-intensity interval training with combined training on physical function markers in obese postmenopausal women: a randomized controlled trial. +Source + Menopause. 26(11):1242-1249, 2019 11. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Nunes PRP; Martins FM; Souza AP; Carneiro MAS; Nomelini RS; Michelin MA; Murta EFC; de Oliveira EP; Orsatti FL +Authors Full Name + Nunes, Paulo R P; Martins, Fernanda M; Souza, Aleteia P; Carneiro, Marcelo A S; Nomelini, Rosekeila S; Michelin, Marcia A; Murta, Eddie F C; de Oliveira, Erick P; Orsatti, Fabio L. +Institution + Nunes, Paulo R P.

The CT group performed 30 minutes of moderate walking at 70% of maximum heart rate (MHR) and five resistance exercises at 70% of one repetition maximum (1RM) for 12 weeks. The HIIT group performed 10 sets of vigorous exercises (30 seconds (s) of stair climbing and 30 s of body weight squats) at >80% MHR interspersed by a light walk (recovery period at 60% MHR). + + RESULTS: Both groups reduced body fat percentage (0.5%), chair stand (3 s) and increased leg lean mass (0.3 kg). Only the CT, however, increased muscle strength (29%) and fast walking speed (5%) compared with HIIT. The fast walking speed changes were partially explained by the muscle strength changes (36%, r = 0.60, P = 0.027) in the CT group. + + CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that HIIT is an alternative time-efficient protocol for improving chair stand and body composition when compared with CT, whereas only CT is an efficient protocol for improving muscular strength and fast walking speed in obese PW. Thus, CT must be prioritized when the increase of muscular strength and fast walking speed are the goals of training. : Video Summary: Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/MENO/A443. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Elucidating the mechanisms underlying these associations might provide an important perspective for the prevention of dyslipidemia. In the present study, we aimed to explore the effect of metabolic-related markers on dyslipidemia, and to assess what extent inflammation mediating these associations. + + METHODS: A total of 25,130 participants without dyslipidemia at baseline were included in the present study during 2010-2015. A partial least squares path model was used to explore possible pathways from metabolic-related markers to dyslipidemia, and the mediation role of inflammation. + + RESULTS: Lipid metabolism factor, blood pressure factor, obesity condition factor, glucose metabolism factor, renal function factor and lifestyle factor had diverse impact on development of dyslipidemia, directly and (or) indirectly. Partial least squares path analysis revealed that the determination coefficient of the model (R2) was 0.52. Lipid metabolism factor, obesity condition factor, and glucose metabolism factor had both direct and indirect effect on dyslipidemia through inflammatory factor. Lipid metabolism factor was the most important risk factor (beta = 0.68) in the prediction of dyslipidemia, followed by obesity condition factor (beta = 0.06) and glucose metabolism factor (beta = 0.03). + + CONCLUSIONS: Metabolic-related markers are strong risk factors for dyslipidemia.

Additionally, we compared the ability of the TyG index and triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-c) index and the combination of these two indices (TyG index plus TG/HDL-c) to predict insulin resistance (IR) in South American overweight and obese children and adolescents. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in 345 overweight adolescents aged 10-18 years, from both the sexes. The TyG index was calculated as Ln (fasting triglycerides [mg/dL] x fasting glucose [mg/dL])/2, while the TG/HDL-c index was calculated by the division of TG (mg/dL) by HDL-c (mg/dL). HOMA-IR was calculated with the formula: fasting insulin (FI) (U/mL) x fasting glucose (mmol/L)/22.5. The cut-off point used to determine the presence of IR was HOMA-IR >= 3.16. Results The TyG index showed a positive correlation with HOMA-IR. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the TyG index was 0.74, indicating good sensitivity (75.7%) and specificity (67.4%). Furthermore, the TyG index cut-off point of >4.44 was established for IR prediction in this population. Conclusions The TyG index is a simple and cost-effective surrogate marker of IR in South American overweight children and adolescents. Moreover, due to its good accessibility, it can be used in large epidemiological studies. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Triglycerides). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1515%2fjpem-2019-0037 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Locateli&issn=0334-018X&title=Journal+of+Pediatric+Endocrinology+%26+Metabolism&atitle=Triglyceride%2Fglucose+index+is+a+reliable+alternative+marker+for+insulin+resistance+in+South+American+overweight+and+obese+children+and+adolescents.&volume=32&issue=10&spage=1163&epage=1170&date=2019&doi=10.1515%2Fjpem-2019-0037&pmid=31472061&sid=OVID:medline + +<2047> +Unique Identifier + 31469122 +Title + Serum pentraxin 3 concentration in patients with type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. +Source + Polish Archives Of Internal Medicine. 129(7-8):499-505, 2019 08 29. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Trojak A; Walus-Miarka M; Kapusta M; Miarka P; Kawalec E; Idzior-Walus B; Malecki MT +Authors Full Name + Trojak, Aleksandra; Walus-Miarka, Malgorzata; Kapusta, Maria; Miarka, Przemyslaw; Kawalec, Ewa; Idzior-Walus, Barbara; Malecki, Maciej T. +Institution + Trojak, Aleksandra.

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a marker of inflammation, is a cardiovascular risk factor. + + OBJECTIVES: We examined clinical and biochemical factors associated with serum PTX3 concentrations in patients with T2D with and without NAFLD. + + PATIENTS AND METHODS: Serum material was obtained from 116 patients with T2D (mean age, 59.1 years), including 79 patients with NAFLD. + + RESULTS: Median (interquartile range) PTX3 level was 4.264 (2.293) ng/ml in patients with and 3.773 (3.223) ng/ml in patients without NAFLD (P = 0.93). In the whole group, PTX3 level was associated with total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein (apo) B100, apo C3, triglyceride (TG) concentrations, and waist circumference after adjustment for age and gender. As indicated by partial regression coefficient b, increase of independent variable LDL-C by 1 mmol/l was associated with the rise of PTX3 by 1.2017 ng/ml, increase of apo B100 by 1 mg/dl with the rise of PTX3 by 1.0051 ng/ml, and increase of apo C3 by 1 mug/dl with the rise of PTX3 by 1.0012 ng/ml. In patients with T2D with NAFLD, total cholesterol, LDL-C, TG, apo C3, and apo B100 were associated with PTX3. Associations of PTX3 with apolipoproteins were observed only in the NAFLD group. + + CONCLUSIONS: Reported associations of PTX3 level add new insight into possible mechanisms of its atherogenic actions. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cholesterol, LDL). 0 (Serum Amyloid P-Component). 148591-49-5 (PTX3 protein). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.20452%2fpamw.14913 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Trojak&issn=0032-3772&title=Polish+Archives+Of+Internal+Medicine&atitle=Serum+pentraxin+3+concentration+in+patients+with+type+2+diabetes+and+nonalcoholic+fatty+liver+disease.&volume=129&issue=7-8&spage=499&epage=505&date=2019&doi=10.20452%2Fpamw.14913&pmid=31469122&sid=OVID:medline + +<2048> +Unique Identifier + 31468305 +Title + Metabolic Features of Individuals with Obesity Referred for Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery: a Cohort Study. +Source + Obesity Surgery. 29(12):3966-3977, 2019 12. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Li M; Liu Y; Jin L; Zeng N; Wang L; Zhao K; Lv H; Zhang M; Xu W; Zhang P; Zhang Z +Author NameID + Zhang, Zhongtao; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4718-6821 +Authors Full Name + Li, Mengyi; Liu, Yang; Jin, Lan; Zeng, Na; Wang, Lixue; Zhao, Kaixin; Lv, Han; Zhang, Meng; Xu, Wei; Zhang, Peng; Zhang, Zhongtao. +Institution + Li, Mengyi.

The definition of metabolic obesity phenotype includes elevated blood pressure, glucose, lipid, and uric acid levels and abnormal lipoprotein levels. Independent sample t test and a general linear model with repeated measures were applied to investigate the differences in metabolic parameters. + + RESULTS: A total of 108 (18.0%) participants were obese yet metabolically healthy, whereas 492 (82.0%) were obese and metabolically unhealthy. Body weight at baseline was significantly higher in metabolically unhealthy phenotype (P < 0.001). For non-phasic oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) curve shape, 100% glucose, 100% C-peptide, and 95.8% insulin curves were found in the metabolically unhealthy group. Men had an increased risk for elevated lipid level than women (OR = 1.83, 1.21-2.77). Individuals with class II/III obesity had an increased risk for elevated blood pressure, glucose, and UA levels than did those with class I obesity (OR = 2.22, 1.43-3.44; OR = 1.73, 1.11-2.68; OR = 3.61, 2.29-5.69, respectively). + + CONCLUSIONS: Approximately one-fifth of individuals with obesity had a metabolically healthy phenotype, and nearly one-third of individuals with class III obesity had this phenotype. Non-phasic OGTT curve shape is a meaningful predictive factor of metabolically unhealthy phenotype before bariatric surgery. Male sex and class II/III obesity are risk factors associated with specific metabolic abnormalities. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (C-Peptide). 0 (Insulin). 268B43MJ25 (Uric Acid). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

We examined differences in appetite-related hormones, appetite, and food intake between AAs (n = 53) and Whites (n = 111) with overweight or obesity. Participants were randomized into a control group or into supervised, controlled exercise groups at 8 kcal/kg of body weight/week (KKW) or 20 KKW. Participants consumed lunch and dinner at baseline and follow-up, with appetite and hormones measured before and after meals (except leptin). At baseline, AAs had lower peptide YY (PYY; p < 0.01) and a blunted elevation in PYY after lunch (p = 0.01), as well as lower ghrelin (p = 0.02) and higher leptin (p < 0.01) compared to Whites. Despite desire to eat being lower and satisfaction being higher in AAs relative to Whites (p <= 0.03), no racial differences in food intake were observed. Compared to Whites, leptin increased in the 8 KKW group in AAs (p = 0.01), yet no other race-by-group interactions were evident. Differences in appetite-related hormones between AAs and Whites exist; however, their influence on racial disparities in appetite, food intake, and obesity within this trial was limited. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (GHRL protein, human). 0 (Ghrelin). 0 (LEP protein, human). 0 (Leptin). 0 (Peptide Hormones). 106388-42-5 (Peptide YY). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

Hypothalamic inflammation is a well-recognized etiologic factor in obesity pathogenesis and so represents a potential target of RYGB, but clinical evidence in support of this is limited. We therefore assessed hypothalamic T2-weighted signal intensities (T2W SI) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values, 2 validated radiologic measures of brain inflammation, in relation to BMI and fat mass, as well as circulating inflammatory (C-reactive protein; CrP) and metabolic markers in a cohort of 27 RYGB patients at baseline and 6 and 12 months after surgery. We found that RYGB progressively increased hypothalamic T2W SI values, while it progressively decreased hypothalamic FA values. Regression analyses further revealed that this could be most strongly linked to plasma CrP levels, which independently predicted hypothalamic FA values when adjusting for age, sex, fat mass, and diabetes diagnosis. These findings suggest that RYGB has a major time-dependent impact on hypothalamic inflammation status, possibly by attenuating peripheral inflammation. They also suggest that hypothalamic FA values may provide a more specific radiologic measure of hypothalamic inflammation than more commonly used T2W SI values. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Insulin). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Obesity is a risk factor of type 2 diabetes. To understand the relationships between HbA1c, body mass index (BMI) and LV diastolic dysfunction, we performed this interaction analysis in patients with type 2 diabetes. + + METHODS: Total 925 type 2 diabetes patients were selected from the patients who were diagnosed and treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University. Patients' BMI levels were defined as normal (BMI < 24 kg/m2) and overweight /obese (BMI >= 24 kg/m2). Patients' HbA1c levels were grouped as HbA1c >= 9% 7% <= HbA1c < 9% and HbA1c < 7%. Logistic regression, stratified, interaction analysis, multivariate Cox regression and curve fitting analysis were performed to investigate the correlations and interactions between HbA1c and BMI with LV diastolic dysfunction. + + RESULTS: The BMI levels were significantly associated with LV diastolic dysfunction in the patients with type 2 diabetes [adjusted model: 1.12 (1.05, 1.20), P = 0.001]. While HbA1c levels had association with LV diastolic dysfunction only in normal BMI group patients [adjusted model: 1.14 (1.01, 1.30), P = 0.0394] and curve correlation was observed. There was a significant interaction between BMI and HbA1c to affect LV diastolic dysfunction (P = 0.0335). Cox regression model analysis showed that the risk of LV diastolic dysfunction was a U type correlation with HbA1c levels in the normal weight group and the turning point was HbA1c at 10%. HbA1c level was not found to have a significant association with LV diastolic dysfunction in overweight/obese group. + + CONCLUSIONS: In patients with type 2 diabetes, correlation between LV diastolic dysfunction and HbA1c was interactively affected by BMI. Glycemic control is beneficial to the heart function in normal body weight patients. For overweight/obese patients, the risk of LV diastolic dysfunction was not determined by the HbA1c level, indicating it may be affected by other confounding factors. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1186%2fs12902-019-0419-7 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Zuo&issn=1472-6823&title=BMC+Endocrine+Disorders&atitle=An+in-depth+analysis+of+glycosylated+haemoglobin+level%2C+body+mass+index+and+left+ventricular+diastolic+dysfunction+in+patients+with+type+2+diabetes.&volume=19&issue=1&spage=88&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1186%2Fs12902-019-0419-7&pmid=31455303&sid=OVID:medline + +<2052> +Unique Identifier + 31455254 +Title + Body composition is a strong predictor of local carotid stiffness in Swedish, young adults - the cross sectional Lifestyle, biomarkers, and atherosclerosis study. +Source + BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. 19(1):205, 2019 08 27. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Fernberg U; Op 't Roodt J; Fernstrom M; Hurtig-Wennlof A +Author NameID + Fernberg, Ulrika; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6520-9265 +Authors Full Name + Fernberg, Ulrika; Op 't Roodt, Jos; Fernstrom, Maria; Hurtig-Wennlof, Anita. +Institution + Fernberg, Ulrika.

We explored how different body composition measurements are associated with intima media thickness (cIMT) and local stiffness in the common carotid artery, in a subsample of healthy, young women and men, from the Swedish Lifestyle, Biomarkers, and Atherosclerosis (LBA) Study. + + METHODS: From the LBA study, a subsample of 220 randomly selected, self-reported healthy individuals, 18-25 years old, were collected for the automatized local stiffness measurements; arterial distensibility, Young's elastic modulus, and beta stiffness index. Blood pressure and mean arterial pressure (MAP) was measured using automatic blood pressure equipment. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated, waist circumference was measured, and percentage of body fat assessed using an impedance body composition analyzer. The carotid artery was scanned by ultrasound and analyzed using B-mode edge wall tracking. cIMT was measured and local stiffness measurements were calculated with carotid blood pressure, measured with applanation tonometry. + + RESULTS: No association was found between cIMT and body composition. Local carotid stiffness was associated with body composition, and women had less stiff arteries than men (p < 0.001). Of the local stiffness measurements, arterial distensibility had the strongest associations with body composition measurements in both women and men (p < 0.05). Multiple regression analyses showed that BMI in women and BMI and percentage of body fat in men had the highest impact on arterial distensibility (p < 0.01 in both women and men). + + CONCLUSIONS: Arterial distensibility was the local stiffness measurement with the strongest associations to different body composition measurements, in both women and men. In this age group, body composition measurements seem to be stronger predictors of common carotid arterial stiffness than MAP, and is a convenient way of detecting young adults who need cardiovascular risk follow-up and lifestyle counseling. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Comparative Study.

We aimed to determine the association between OC and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in premenopausal obese women. Design: The study included 73 premenopausal obese women and 55 non-obese women. Echocardiographic examination was performed to measure EAT. Serum OC levels were measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay. Results: OC levels were significantly lower in obese women than controls (18.26 +/- 5.27 vs. 22.53 +/- 6.84 ng/ml, p < .001). EAT thickness was higher in obese women than controls (5.19 +/- 0.73 vs. 3.25 +/- 1.35 mm, p < .001). In obese women, OC was positively correlated with EAT thickness (p = .043; r = 0.326). There was no correlation in controls. Conclusions: Premenopausal obese women had lower OC levels and thicker EAT than controls. There was a weak positive correlation between OC and EAT in premenopausal obese women. This potential cross talk between bone metabolism and EAT could play a role in the development of atherosclerosis in obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (BGLAP protein, human). 0 (Biomarkers). 104982-03-8 (Osteocalcin). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1080%2f14017431.2019.1659397 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Yaylali&issn=1401-7431&title=Scandinavian+Cardiovascular+Journal&atitle=Osteocalcin+and+epicardial+adipose+tissue+in+obesity%3A+new+hints+for+epicardial+adipose+tissue-bone+crosstalk.&volume=53&issue=6&spage=296&epage=298&date=2019&doi=10.1080%2F14017431.2019.1659397&pmid=31455100&sid=OVID:medline + +<2054> +Unique Identifier + 31446069 +Title + Short communication: Adipogenic, metabolic, and apoptotic marker mRNA in cellular fractions of adipose tissue from chickens predisposed to be anorexic or obese. +Source + Comparative Biochemistry & Physiology.

The high body weight-selected (HWS) individuals are compulsive eaters that become obese whereas the low body weight-selected (LWS) are relatively lean and hypophagic. The objective of this study was to measure gene expression of various preadipocyte, proliferation, metabolic, and apoptotic markers in the stromal-vascular fraction and adipocytes from LWS and HWS adipose tissue. Although preadipocyte and proliferation markers were more highly expressed in the stromal-vascular fraction of LWS than HWS chicks, greater expression of granzyme-A and the presence of more annexin V-positive cells suggests that apoptosis may limit the adipogenic potential of adipocyte precursor cells and represent a novel mechanism that regulates the expansion of adipose tissue. Results provide insights on cellular mechanisms associated with adipose tissue development in the lean and obese state. Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

We aimed to assess the changes in serum Mg concentrations at 12-month follow-up in patients, with and without T2DM, who underwent one anastomosis gastric bypass surgery. Overall, 50 patients (80% female, age 42.2 (12.5) years) with morbid obesity (mean baseline BMI 43.8 (4.3) kg/m2) were included in the analysis. Half of the included patients had T2DM diagnosed at baseline, and these patients showed lower serum Mg concentration (0.78 (0.07)) vs. 0.83 (0.05) mmol/L; p = 0.006), higher blood glucose levels (129.9 (41.3) vs. 87.6 (8.1) mg/dL; p < 0.001) as well as HbA1c concentrations (6.7 (1.4) vs. 5.3 (0.5)%; p < 0.001). During follow-up, BMI and glucose levels showed a decrease; however, serum Mg levels remained stable. At baseline 42% of patients were found to be Mg deficient, which was reduced to 33% at six months and to 30% at 12 months follow-up. Moreover, patients with T2DM had an odds ratio of 9.5 (95% CI = 3.0-29.7; p < 0.001) for magnesium deficiency when compared to patients without T2DM. Further research into the role of Mg and its role in T2DM and other obesity-related comorbidities are needed. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers).

Basic anthropometric parameters and blood pressure were measured. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Fat mass and visceral adipose tissue mass were assessed using dual X-ray absorptiometry scan. Fasting glucose, insulin, lipid profile, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and lactoferrin levels were determined. + + RESULTS: Lactoferrin levels did not differ between MHO and MUHO subjects (median (interquartile range): 1639 (1055-2396) vs. 1622 (1009-23345) ng/mL). However, in the total population insulin (r = 0.131, p = 0.0234) and hs-CRP (r = 0.165, p = 0.0045) levels were correlated with lactoferrin concentrations. In addition, a weak positive association between serum lactoferrin concentrations and anthropometric parameters was also detected, and predominantly referred to MHO group (body weight: r = 0.231, p = 0.0201; BMI: r = 0.286, p = 0.0037; waist circumference: r = 0.258, p = 0.0092). In addition, serum lactoferrin concentrations were negatively correlated with fasting glucose (r = -0.250, p = 0.0115) and HDL-C levels (r = -0.203, p = 0.0411) in MHO subjects. + + CONCLUSIONS: Lactoferrin levels did not differ between MHO and MUHO women. However, some mild correlations between lactoferrin concentrations and anthropometric and metabolic parameters were observed mostly in MHO subjects. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (LTF protein, human).

The aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of the monocyte subpopulations in human obesity. Twenty-seven normal, 23 overweight, and 60 obese individuals (including 17 obese individuals with normal glucose tolerance and 27 with type 2 diabetes) were included into this study. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from human blood, and surface markers to identify monocyte subpopulations were analyzed by flow cytometry. Obese individuals had higher numbers of total monocytes, CM, IM, CD56+ monocytes, and M-MDSCs. The number of CM, IM, CD56+ monocytes, and M-MDSCs, correlated positively with body mass index, body fat, waist circumference, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, and HbA1c, and negatively with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes had higher numbers of IM, NCM, and M-MDSCs, whereas those with obesity and impaired glucose tolerance had higher numbers of CD56+ monocytes. In summary, the comprehensive analysis of blood monocytes in human obesity revealed a shift of the monocyte compartment toward pro-inflammatory monocytes which might contribute to the development of low-grade inflammation in obesity, and immune-suppressive monocytes which might contribute to the development of cancer in obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The objective of this study was to establish whether endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) is present in human AT in obesity and to investigate the effect of such transition on endothelial function and the endothelial particulate secretome represented by extracellular vesicles (EV). Approach and Results: We identified EndoMT in obese human AT depots by immunohistochemical co-localization of CD31 or vWF and alpha-SMA (alpha-smooth muscle actin). We showed that AT EC exposed in vitro to TGF-beta (tumor growth factor-beta), TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor-alpha), and IFN-gamma (interferon-gamma) undergo EndoMT with progressive loss of endothelial markers. The phenotypic change results in failure to maintain a tight barrier in culture, increased migration, and reduced angiogenesis. EndoMT also reduced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and glycolytic capacity of EC. EVs produced by EC that underwent EndoMT dramatically reduced angiogenic capacity of the recipient naive ECs without affecting their migration or proliferation. Proteomic analysis of EV produced by EC in the proinflammatory conditions showed presence of several pro-inflammatory and immune proteins along with an enrichment in angiogenic receptors. + + CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated the presence of EndoMT in human AT in obesity. EndoMT in vitro resulted in production of EV that transferred some of the functional and metabolic features to recipient naive EC. This result suggests that functional and molecular features of EC that underwent EndoMT in vivo can be disseminated in a paracrine or endocrine fashion and may induce endothelial dysfunction in distant vascular beds. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Transforming Growth Factor beta1). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The diagnosis of sarcopenia was based on muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance measurements. Cardiovascular risk and prognostic markers, such as troponin and creatine kynase MB isoenzyme values, acute myocardial infarction classification according to ST segment elevation, and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction score were used. + + RESULTS: The sample comprised 99 patients with mean age of 71.6 (+/-7.4) years. Prevalence of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity was 64.6% and 35.4%, respectively. Sarcopenia was more prevalent among males (p=0.017) aged >80 years (p=0.008). Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction was the only marker of cardiovascular risk significantly associated with sarcopenia (p=0.002). + + CONCLUSION: Prevalence of sarcopenia was high and associated with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction risk score.

Mean (range) SMBG frequencies were 2.3 (1.1-2.9) times/day, 3.4 (3-3.9) times/day, and 5 (4-7.7) times/day in the lowest, middle, and highest tertiles, respectively. Anthropometric and metabolic parameters were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention. + + Results: Participants in the highest tertile achieved a median change (IQR) in body weight of -10.4 kg (-7.6 to -14.4 kg) compared with -8.3 kg (-5.2 to -12.2 kg), and -6.9 kg (-4.2 to -8.9 kg) in the middle and lowest tertiles, respectively (p=0.018 for trend). Participants in the highest tertile had a median change (IQR) in A1C of -1.25% (-0.6 to -3.1%) compared with -0.8% (-0.3% to -2%) and -0.5% (-0.2% to -1.2%) in the middle and lowest tertiles, respectively (p=0.048 for trend). The association between change in body weight and SMBG frequency remained significant after adjusting for age, sex, baseline body mass index, diabetes duration, and use of insulin therapy. + + Conclusions: Increased frequency of SMBG during IMWM is associated with significantly better weight loss and improvement of A1C in patients with T2D and obesity. These findings may suggest future clinical recommendations aimed at increasing SMBG frequency to achieve the most favorable outcomes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (Glycated Hemoglobin A). 0 (Hypoglycemic Agents). 0 (hemoglobin A1c protein, human). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1136%2fbmjdrc-2019-000659 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Tomah&issn=2052-4897&title=BMJ+Open+Diabetes+Research+%26+Care&atitle=Frequency+of+self-monitoring+of+blood+glucose+in+relation+to+weight+loss+and+A1C+during+intensive+multidisciplinary+weight+management+in+patients+with+type+2+diabetes+and+obesity.&volume=7&issue=1&spage=e000659&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1136%2Fbmjdrc-2019-000659&pmid=31413841&sid=OVID:medline + +<2063> +Unique Identifier + 31413305 +Title + Reduced miR-181d level in obesity and its role in lipid metabolism via regulation of ANGPTL3. +Source + Scientific Reports. 9(1):11866, 2019 08 14. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Abu-Farha M; Cherian P; Al-Khairi I; Nizam R; Alkandari A; Arefanian H; Tuomilehto J; Al-Mulla F; Abubaker J +Author NameID + Abu-Farha, Mohamed; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8357-1252 + Arefanian, Hossein; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6414-0916 +Authors Full Name + Abu-Farha, Mohamed; Cherian, Preethi; Al-Khairi, Irina; Nizam, Rasheeba; Alkandari, Abdullah; Arefanian, Hossein; Tuomilehto, Jaakko; Al-Mulla, Fahd; Abubaker, Jehad. +Institution + Abu-Farha, Mohamed.

There is increasing interest in the role of epigenetic factors in obesity and its impact on diabetes and dyslipidemia. One such substance, miR-181, reduces plasma triglyceride levels in mice by targeting isocitrate dehydrogenase 1. In the other hand, the adipocyte differentiation and lipid regulating hormone angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) is a known regulator of circulating apolipoproteins through its inhibition of the lipoprotein lipase activity. We aimed to study the miR-181d expression in the blood and adipose tissue in a cohort of obese and non-obese people, assessing its possible role in obesity. We also aimed to confirm whether miR-181d can bind and regulate ANGPTL3. miR-181d expression levels were investigated in 144 participants, 82 who were non-obese (body mass index [BMI] < 30) and 62 who were obese (BMI > 30). miR-181d levels in plasma and adipose tissue were measured by RT-PCR. Hepatocyte cell cultures were assessed by overexpression and 3'-UTR-luciferase assays for miR-181d binding to its target protein and its effect on the protein. The plasma levels of ANGPTL3 were also measured by ELISA. The miR-181d levels were significantly lower in obese than in non-obese individuals. In vitro analysis confirmed miR-181 binding to and repression of the ANGPTL3 transcript. Obesity leads to alterations in miR-181d expression. Its downregulation in obese humans was inversely correlated with ANGPTL3, a protein involved in adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism. miR-181d can be used as an inhibitor of ANGPTL3 to reduce the TG plasma level. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (3' Untranslated Regions). 0 (ANGPTL3 protein, human). 0 (Angiopoietin-Like Protein 3). 0 (Angiopoietin-like Proteins). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (MIrn181 microRNA, human). 0 (MicroRNAs). 0 (RNA, Messenger).

Leptin, as an adipocytokine, plays a major role in the etiology of obesity. Prior studies have demonstrated that zinc potentially affects serum leptin levels. However, clinical trials carried out in this regard are not consistent. Therefore, current meta-analysis was conducted to ascertain the actual effect of zinc supplementation on serum leptin levels in adults. Databases of PubMed, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar were methodically searched to identify relevant articles up to April 2018. Clinical trials that examined the effect of zinc supplementation on serum leptin concentrations as outcome variables in human adults were included. The mean difference (SD) of leptin changes in the intervention and placebo groups were used to calculate the overall effect size. Totally, 663 articles were identified, of which 6 studies were eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 7 treatment arms. The analysis suggested that zinc supplementation exerts no significant effect on overall serum leptin (WMD: 0.74 ng/ml; 95% CI: -1.39 to 2.87, p=0.49). Nevertheless, sex and duration of intervention seemed to impact the extent of zinc's influence. In trials with female subjects, zinc consumption led to a significant decrease in serum leptin level (WMD: -1.93 ng/ml; 95% CI: -3.72 to -0.14, p=0.03) as well as trials that lasted for more than 6 weeks (WMD: -1.71 ng/ml; 95% CI: -3.07 to -0.35, p=0.01), in comparison to the control group. Zinc supplementation did not significantly improve leptin concentrations, but it may result in a decreased circulating leptin level in studies with a duration of more than 6 weeks especially among females.

Pathways for vascular calcification modulate bone matrix deposition, thus regulating calcium deposits. We investigated the association between biomarkers of vascular calcification and vasodilator function in obesity or T2D, and whether antidiabetic therapies favorably impact those markers. Circulating levels of proteins involved in vascular calcification, such as osteopontin (OPN), osteoprotegerin (OPG), regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), and fetuin-A were measured in lean subjects, individuals with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), and patients with metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) or T2D. Vasodilator function was assessed by infusion of ACh and sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Circulating levels of OPN were higher in the MUO/T2D group than in lean subjects (P < 0.05); OPG and RANTES were higher in MUO/T2D group than in the other groups (both P < 0.001); fetuin-A was not different between groups (P > 0.05); vasodilator responses to either ACh or SNP were impaired in both MUO/T2D and MHO compared with lean subjects (all P < 0.001). In patients with T2D who were enrolled in the intervention trial, antidiabetic treatment with glyburide, metformin, or pioglitazone resulted in a significant reduction of circulating OPG (P = 0.001), without changes in the other biomarkers and vasodilator responses (all P > 0.05). In conclusion, obese patients with MUO/T2D have elevated circulating OPN, OPG, and RANTES; in these patients, antidiabetic treatment reduces only circulating OPG. Further study is needed to better understand the mechanisms of vascular calcifications in obesity and diabetes. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (AHSG protein, human). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (CCL5 protein, human). 0 (Chemokine CCL5). 0 (Hypoglycemic Agents). 0 (Osteoprotegerin). 0 (SPP1 protein, human). 0 (TNFRSF11B protein, human). 0 (alpha-2-HS-Glycoprotein). 106441-73-0 (Osteopontin). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

A reference group, to establish sex steroid age-specific reference ranges, excluded women using systemic or topical sex steroid, antiandrogen or glucocorticoid therapy, or an antiglycemic agent. + + RESULTS: The reference group of 5326 women had a mean age of 75.1 (+/-4.2) years, range of 70 to 94.7 years. Median values (range) were 181.2 pmol/L (3.7 to 5768.9) for estrone (E1), 0.38 nmol/L (0.035 to 8.56) for testosterone (T), 2.60 nmol/L (0.07 to 46.85) for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and 41.6 nmol/L (2.4 to 176.6) for SHBG. Estradiol and DHT were below method sensitivity in 66.1% and 72.7% of the samples, respectively. Compared with women aged 70 to 74 years, women aged >=85 years had higher median levels of E1 (11.7%, P = 0.01), T (11.3%, P = 0.02), and SHBG (22.7%, P < 0.001) and lower DHEA (30% less, P < 0.001). Women with overweight and obesity had higher E1 (P < 0.001) and T (P < 0.03) and lower SHBG (P < 0.001) than did women with normal body mass index. Smokers had 17.2% higher median T levels (P = 0.005). + + CONCLUSION: From the age of 70 years, T and E1 increase with age, despite a steady decline in DHEA. Whether E1 and T are biomarkers for longevity or contribute to healthy aging merits investigation.

Obesity as a metabolic disorder and chronic inflammation is a trigger to countless disease. The main goal of this study is to investigate the interaction of herbal diet on the levels of liver enzymes, inflammatory factors and adipocytes profile. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 240 adult women range of 18-48 years were included in the current comparative cross-sectional study. Body composition and dietary intake (using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ)) were assessed in all participants. In determining a plant based diet index (PDI), vegetarian foods were taken positive score and reverse points for animal foods. For determining a healthful plant based diet index (hPDI), healthy plant foods received positive scores, while less healthy plant foods and animal foods received reverse scores. To create an unhealthful plant-based diet index (uPDI), positive scores were assigned to less healthy plant foods and reverse scores to healthy plant foods and animal foods. For the measurement of serum liver enzymes and inflammatory factors, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used. + + RESULTS: Healthy diet like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, cereals, and beverages such as tea and coffee, based on dietary guidelines, significantly reduced the amount of hs-CRP and TGF-beta (P<0.0001). Higher adhering to hPDI may as a result in higher intake of fiber intake, antioxidants, unsaturated fats, micronutrients, could reduce saturated fats and iron content, and finally weight loss, and reduce inflammation in the body. + + CONCLUSION: Base on our finding, in those people who intake higher amounts of healthy plant foods, (vegetable types), instead of unhealthy herbal foods (sweets and desserts), might be useful to reduce inflammation factor like TGF-beta and hs-CRP.

Total Antioxidant Capacity may have an independent effect on resting metabolic rate and respiratory quotient. + + METHODS AND MATERIALS: A study population of 263 aged 18-50 years participated in this cross-sectional study from the communities of Tehran based on cluster sampling. Dietary intake assessed by using a semi quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) Demographic questions. Anthropometrics measurements for each participant were done. Dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) was calculated by the 147-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and FRAP assay. Resting metabolic rate and respiratory quotient was measured by Indirect calorimetry. + + RESULTS: The mean DTAC of the study participants was 1251.8 (SD 893.60). There was a statistically significant relationship between dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) and respiratory quotient (P>0.013). People with high dietary total antioxidant capacity have tended to show a lower RQ than those with a lower one. There was a significant correlation between DTAC and RQ for both the adjusted model for age, total energy intake, BMI, physical activity, higher DTAC diet and the crude model which were (beta=0.011; SE=0.005; CI=-0.021_0) and (beta=-3.143E-6; SE=0; CI=0), respectively. However, we found no correlation between the DTAC and RMR/FFM-RES (P<0.49). Also, a significantly higher relationship was demonstrated between dietary total antioxidant capacity and intake vegetables (P<=0.006), fruits (P<=0.009), white meet (P<=0.03) and dairy products (P<=0.005). + + CONCLUSION: RQ is correlated with total antioxidant capacity. Increased intake of high DTAC foods may result in weight loss maintenance. This result may suggest a beneficial role of higher-DTAC diets in the prevention of obesity. Copyright © 2019.

Taking into account the ethnic differences, this study aimed to determine the most appropriate cut-off points of anthropometric indices in predicting the incidence of MetS and its components in Ahvaz. + + METHODS: This study is part of a cohort study conducted at the Diabetes Research Center of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences on a population of over 20 in Ahvaz during 2009-2014. Of the 592 patients, 505 patients who were not diagnosed with MetS in 2009, were entered into this study. The data analyzed involved demographic information including age and sex, anthropometric information including height, weight, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC) and the ratios between them, laboratory data including blood levels of Triglyceride (TG), Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and clinical data including systolic(S) and diastolic(D)blood pressure(BP). After 5 years, the subjects were re-evaluated for MetS based on the National Cholesterol Education Program - Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) criteria and the most appropriate cut-off points of anthropometric indices for the prediction of the incidence of MetS using the Receiver Operative Characteristic (ROC) curves were obtained. + + RESULTS: Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) index with a cut-off point of 0.53 followed by WC with a cut-off point of 87.5cm had the highest power to predict the incidence of MetS. The cut-off points of WC and Body mass index (BMI) were respectively 89.5cm and 26kg/m2 for men, and 83.5cm and 27.5kg/m2 for women. All anthropometric indices were able to predict the components of this syndrome (with the exception of low HDL-C). The cut-off point of WC in predicting High FBS, High TG and High BP was 84.5, 84.8, and 86.5cm, respectively. + + CONCLUSION: Overall, it seems that given its ease of measurement, the WC index is preferred to other indices for predicting the incidence of MetS and its components in clinical screening.

Data regarding dietary habits, socio-demographic characteristics and history of chronic illnesses were collected via questionnaire. Anthropometric parameters were measured using a scale and body analyzer. Odds ratio of obesity were assessed using a Binary Logistic Regression test. + + RESULTS: Study participants consisted of 49.6% men and 50.4% women. The prevalence of general and abdominal obesity in this population was 25.9 and 45.3%, respectively. Our analysis revealed that subjects who drank carbonated drinks >=3 times/week had significantly higher odds of general and abdominal obesity compared to participants never did so (OR 1.89; 95%CI: 1.37-2.61, OR 1.11; 95%CI: 1.50-2.04) and those ate fast food more than 4 times a month had higher odds of abdominal obesity (OR 1.51; 95%CI: 1.12-2.03). The results also pointed that intake of low fat dairy products was inversely associated with general obesity (OR 0.79; 95% CI 0.63-0.98) and abdominal obesity (OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.54-0.82) when compared with full fat dairy products. + + CONCLUSION: Carbonated drinks and fast food intake were positively associated with general/abdominal obesity, whereas low fat dairy products intake was inversely associated. Future cohort studies in this under-studied area are recommended. Copyright © 2018.

The collection of data has been done through a questionnaire which included anthropometric, clinical and biochemical characteristics of each patient. Statistical analyses included chi2 test, student's t-test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression analyses. + + RESULTS: The mean age of our patients was 45.56+/-12.23 years, the mean body mass index (BMI) was 33.97+/-5.84Kg/m2 and the average waist circumference (WC) was 109.78+/-15.42cm. Overweight affected 25.2% and obesity 74.8%, whose 88.8% of subjects had abdominal obesity. All the metabolic abnormalities were significantly associated with abdominal obesity (measured by WC). However, only total cholesterol (p=0.001) and triglycerides (p=0.000) were significantly associated with different classes of obesity (measured by BMI). The most common complications of obesity and overweight were: type 2 diabetes (56.8%), arterial hypertension (52%), dyslipidaemia (43.9%), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) (24.3%). Hypertension and hyperglycaemia were the major risk factors for developing CVD with OR=3.81 (95% CI:1.363-10.698; p<0.05) and OR=2.610 (95% CI:1.648-4.133; p<0.001) respectively. + + CONCLUSION: Obesity exposes to several chronic complications, the most important in our study were type 2 diabetes and hypertension; these complications increased significantly with abdominal obesity that has constituted important risk factors of CVD.

Both CTRP12 and CTRP13 are adipokines that influence glucose and lipid metabolism. We aimed to investigate CTRP12, CTRP13, and inflammatory gene expressions in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) from obese women who underwent bariatric surgery in comparison with the normal weight women. This case-control study included 20 obese [body mass index (BMI)>35-40kg/m2] candidates for bariatric surgery and 20 normal-weight women (BMI <25kg/m2) as control group, who underwent elective surgeries. Real-time PCR was used to evaluate mRNA expression levels of CTRP12, CTRP13, and inflammatory genes in SAT and VAT from both groups. We observed significantly higher mRNA expression of CTRP12 in SAT (p=0.048) and VAT (p=0.046) from obese patients compared to the controls. There was significantly greater expression of IL-6 and MCP-1 inflammatory genes in SAT (p=0.013 and p=0.005 respectively) and VAT (p=0.000 and p=0.001 respectively) of obese patients compared to the control group. IL-1beta (p=0.015) and TNF-alpha (p=0.014) expressions significantly increased in VAT from obese patients compared to the control group. Spearman correlation analysis showed that CTRP12 expression significantly correlated with obesity indices. Our findings showed that CTRP12 significantly increased in both VAT and SAT of obese group. More importantly, we observed a positive correlation between CTRP12 with inflammatory parameters. These results indicated that CTRP12 might be part of an intricate network for glucose metabolism and obesity-related inflammation processes. Copyright © 2019 Diabetes India.

Little is known about their effects on food hedonic sensations and taste perception in poor controlled patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighteen T2D patients with BMI >=25kg/m2 and poor controlled glycemia were studied before and after 3 months of treatment with Liraglutide. Detection thresholds for salty, sweet and bitter tastes, optimal preferences, olfactory liking, wanting and recalled liking for several food items were assessed. Subjects also answered questionnaires to measure their attitudes to food. + + RESULTS: T2D patients had a significant decrease in bodyweight and HbA1c after treatment with Liraglutide. Liraglutide improved gustative detection threshold of sweet flavors, and decreased wanting for sweet foods and recalled liking for fatty foods. It also led to a decrease in feelings of hunger. + + CONCLUSIONS: Liraglutide increases sensitivity to sweet tastes and decreases pleasure responses for fatty foods in poor controlled T2D patients, and is of particular interest in the understanding of the mechanisms of weight loss. + + CLINICAL TRIAL: NCT02674893.

Venous blood samples were collected for DNA extraction. Using specific primers and restriction enzymes, genotyping was performed to identify the various alleles for each gene. The genotype and allele frequencies determined by multinomial logistic regression analysis for FTO single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs9939609) among all the study groups. + + RESULTS: There is a two-fold increase in the risk of T2D within the homozygous genotype (TT) group (OR=2.43, CI 95% 3.57-11.2, P<=0.001) as compared to the wild type (TA). In addition, there was a significantly higher level of the minor allele genotype (T) in T2D patients when compared to the control group, (P<=0.001). + + CONCLUSION: We conclude that the FTO rs9939609 genotype significantly affect the development of insulin resistance, therefore the future occurrence of T2D, in obese individuals.

The demographic characteristics and anthropometric measures and hypertension were collected with standard method by trained nurses. The fasting blood sugar, CHL, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were measured by enzymatic method. The presence of cardiometabolic risk factors were analyzed according to the combination of obesity phenotypes either overweight/obese or central obese. The logistic regression model was used to calculate the adjusted odds ratio (OR) of obesity phenotypes in compared with normal weight not central obese in association of presence of metabolic abnormality. + + RESULTS: The 394 (40.6%) individuals were both overweight/obese and central obese and 295 (30.1%) persons were "normal weight not central obese" and the minority 28(2.9%) were normal weight but central obese and the remainder 260 (26.5%) were "overweight/obese not central obese". Overweight/obese not central obese increased significantly the odds of presence of >=2 non-obese components of metabolic abnormality by 2.17 times (95%CI OR: 1.51, 3.13) but the OR was elevated for the joint phenotypes of overweight/obese and central obese (OR=4.16 (95%CI: 2.85, 6.06) as compare with normal weight not central obese. + + CONCLUSIONS: Overweight/obese alone increased the risk of cardiometabolic abnormality but being overweight/obese and central obese a further elevated the risk compared with "normal weight not central obese".

Previous research demonstrated that adipose tissue plays an important role in energy regulation via endocrine, paracrine and autocrine signals as results of obesity due to accumulation of adipose tissue to excess that by time affects negatively both physical and psychological health and well being, it has been found that adipose tissues produces a variety of factors known as "adipokines" which play a key role in the development and progression of the disease and also hypothesized that adipokines are a possible link between obesity and the other risk components of the Metabolic syndrome. Many of the adipokines exert multiple actions in a variety of cellular processes leading to a complex array of abnormal characteristic of Metabolic syndrome. Abnormal production of these adipokines by expanded visceral fat during Adiposity contributes to a pro-inflammatory state. Increasing evidence suggests that aberrant production/release of adipokine from adipocyte i.e. adiponectin, leptin and resistin etc, may contribute to the health problems associated with Adiposity such as dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. This study conclusively have shown a significant role of adipokines secreted by adipose tissue and various metabolic risk markers play a important role in the development of Metabolic syndrome.

Body composition was analyzed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) resistance. Obesity was defined based on Body mass index (BMI) >=30kg/m2. To determine the genotype of SNP (rs556442), PCR-RFLP assay was performed and confirmed by sequencing. DNA samples from participants were genotyped using the RFLP-PCR method. + + RESULTS: Among the study population 37.1% (130) were obese. G allele had minor-allele frequency of 0.38% in our population. The frequency of genotypes in our study population was 12.9% (45 person) GG, 35.7% (125 person) AA and 51.4% (180) GA. After adjusting age and menopausal age, only basal metabolic rate showed significantly higher in GG group compare to other groups (p=0.02). Our data showed basal metabolic rate was higher in obese women with GG genotype in comparison to obese women with AG and AA genotypes. + + DISCUSSION: The findings of this study suggest that the GG genotype of SNP (rs556442) could protective role in obese women through the association with BMR.

The present study aims to determine the prevalence of hypertension and its association with various adiposity indicators among Sunni Muslim population of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. + + MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 214 individuals using purposive sampling method. Somatometric measurements were taken using the ISAK protocol. Correlation analysis and odds ratio were calculated to determine the best predictor of hypertension. + + RESULTS: 41% of males and 42.1% of females were found to be in Stage-II hypertension. BMI and WC were found to have the highest correlation with SBP among males and females, respectively. WHR followed by WC and BMI, was found to be the strongest predictor of hypertension in males. In the case of females, WHtR Followed by, BMI and WHR were found to be the strongest predictors of hypertension. + + CONCLUSION: Among the presently studied Muslim population of Lucknow, a high prevalence of hypertension was found among both males and females. Also, WHR among males and WC among females were found to be better predictors of hypertension. Thus, for better prediction of risk of hypertension, sex and ethnicity-specific adiposity indicator should be used in clinical practice. Copyright © 2019 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Fifty-six obese children (19 SUTI: summer camp and 10 months of follow-up telephone intervention, 18 SU: summer camp intervention only, and 19 CON: no intervention) completed this study. Anthropometric data and blood samples were obtained before (PRE), after 8 weeks of summer camp, and a 10month follow-up telephone intervention to measure markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Eight weeks of summer camp significantly reduced %body fat, and levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, C-reactive protein and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine. It also elevated levels of adiponectin and total antioxidant status in SUTI and SU (p < 0.05). However, results of the 10month follow-up measurement were reverted back to PRE in SU, whereas the results for SUTI remained different to PRE (p < 0.05). Results confirm that levels of inflammation and oxidative stress are correlated to changes in %body fat, indicating that fat loss is effective in preventing and managing obesity-associated disorders. It is suggested that a telephone intervention is an effective follow-up tool for stabilizing reductions in %body fat as well as levels of inflammation and oxidative stress that were obtained from an intensive summer camp program in obese Hispanic children. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (ADIPOQ protein, human). 0 (Adiponectin). 0 (Antioxidants). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Cytokines). 0 (Inflammation Mediators). 0 (Interleukin-6). 9007-41-4 (C-Reactive Protein). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

The association between the level of IGF-I and diabetes has been highlighted. However, this association is controversial due to the influence of different factors including obesity. The aim of the study was to evaluate serum level of IGF-I in type 2 diabetic patients compared to control subjects. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study involving 100 participants was conducted. Serum levels of IGF-I were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels were measured using the glucose oxidase method. Results IGF-I levels in the diabetic patients were significantly lower than in non-diabetic control subjects (105.13 +/- 6.34 vs. 159.96 +/- 9.62 ng/mL, p < 0.0001). Among the diabetic group, there was no significant difference in IGF-I levels between obese diabetic patients and non-obese diabetic patients, p = 0.18. Similarly, among the non-diabetic group, a non-significant difference was found in IGF-I levels between obese non-diabetic and non-obese non-diabetic subjects, p = 0.156. However, among the obese group, obese diabetic patients had significantly lower IGF-I serum levels compared to obese non-diabetic subjects (112.07 +/- 7.97 vs. 147.07 +/- 13.05 ng/mL, p = 0.02). Furthermore, among the non-obese group, the non-obese diabetic patients had significantly lower IGF-I serum levels compared to the non-obese non-diabetic subjects (91.66 +/- 9.93 vs. 171.86 +/- 13.86 ng/mL, p < 0.0001). No significant associations were observed between IGF-I level and any of the age, gender, body mass index (BMI), FPG levels, or the duration of diabetes. Conclusions Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with lower levels of IGF-I regardless to the presence or absence of obesity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Blood Glucose). 0 (IGF1 protein, human). 67763-96-6 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor I). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.1515%2fhmbci-2019-0015 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Aleidi&issn=1868-1883&title=Hormone+Molecular+Biology+%26+Clinical+Investigation&atitle=Serum+level+of+insulin-like+growth+factor-I+in+type+2+diabetic+patients%3A+impact+of+obesity.&volume=39&issue=1&spage=&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.1515%2Fhmbci-2019-0015&pmid=31398142&sid=OVID:medline + +<2081> +Unique Identifier + 31397239 +Title + Urine and plasma concentrations of amino acids and plasma vitamin status differ, and are differently affected by salmon intake, in obese Zucker fa/fa rats with impaired kidney function and in Long-Evans rats with healthy kidneys. +Source + British Journal of Nutrition. 122(3):262-273, 2019 08 14. +VI 1 +Record Owner + From MEDLINE, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. +Status + MEDLINE +Authors + Drotningsvik A; Midttun O; Vikoren LA; McCann A; Ueland PM; Mellgren G; Gudbrandsen OA +Author NameID + Gudbrandsen, Oddrun Anita; ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5268-692X +Authors Full Name + Drotningsvik, Aslaug; Midttun, Oivind; Vikoren, Linn Anja; McCann, Adrian; Ueland, Per Magne; Mellgren, Gunnar; Gudbrandsen, Oddrun Anita. +Institution + Drotningsvik, Aslaug.

The aims of the present study were to investigate urine and plasma concentrations of amino acids as well as plasma vitamin status in rats with impaired renal function (Zucker fa/fa rats) and in rats with normal kidney function (Long-Evans rats), and to explore the effects of salmon intake on these parameters and potential biomarkers of salmon intake in both rat strains. Male rats were fed diets with casein as sole protein source (control diet) or 25 % protein from baked salmon and 75 % casein for 4 weeks. Urine concentrations of markers of renal function and most amino acids and plasma concentrations of most vitamins were higher, and plasma concentrations of several amino acids including arginine, total glutathione and most tryptophan metabolites were lower in Zucker fa/fa rats compared with Long-Evans rats fed the control diet. Concentrations of kidney function markers were lower after salmon intake only in Zucker fa/fa rats. A trend towards lower urine concentrations of amino acids was seen in both rat strains fed the salmon diet, but this was more pronounced in Long-Evans rats and did not reflect the dietary amino acid content. Urine 1-methylhistidine, 3-methylhistidine, trimethylamineoxide and creatine concentrations, and plasma 1-methylhistidine and creatine concentrations were higher after salmon intake in both rat strains. To conclude, concentrations of amino acids in urine and plasma as well as vitamin status were different in Zucker fa/fa and Long-Evans rats, and the effects of salmon intake differed by rat strain for some of these parameters. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Amino Acids). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Caseins). 0 (Dietary Proteins). 0 (Fish Proteins). 0 (Vitamins). +Publication Type + Journal Article.

Herein, we investigated the effects of oleacein on certain markers of adipogenesis and insulin-resistance in vitro, in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and in vivo in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. During the differentiation process of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes, oleacein strongly inhibited lipid accumulation, and decreased protein levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and fatty acid synthase (FAS), while increasing Adiponectin levels. In vivo, treatment with oleacein of C57BL/6JOlaHsd mice fed with HFD for 5 and 13 weeks prevented the increase in adipocyte size and reduced the inflammatory infiltration of macrophages and lymphocytes in adipose tissue. These effects were accompanied by changes in the expression of adipose tissue-specific regulatory elements such as PPARgamma, FAS, sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor-1 (SREBP-1), and Adiponectin, while the expression of insulin-sensitive muscle/fat glucose transporter Glut-4 was restored in HFD-fed mice treated with oleacein. Collectively, our findings indicate that protection against HFD-induced adiposity by oleacein in mice is mediated by the modulation of regulators of adipogenesis. Protection against HFD-induced obesity is effective in improving peripheral insulin sensitivity. +Registry Number/Name of Substance + 0 (Aldehydes). 0 (Anti-Obesity Agents). 0 (Biomarkers). 0 (Glucose Transporter Type 4). 0 (Phenols). 0 (Slc2a4 protein, mouse). 0 (oleacein). +Publication Type + Journal Article. +Year of Publication + 2019 +Link to the Ovid Full Text or citation + https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS&CSC=Y&NEWS=N&PAGE=fulltext&D=med16&DO=10.3390%2fnu11081829 +Link to the External Link Resolver + https://libkey.io/libraries/1108/openurl?genre=article&aulast=Lepore&issn=2072-6643&title=Nutrients&atitle=Oleacein+Prevents+High+Fat+Diet-Induced+Adiposity+and+Ameliorates+Some+Biochemical+Parameters+of+Insulin+Sensitivity+in+Mice.&volume=11&issue=8&spage=&epage=&date=2019&doi=10.3390%2Fnu11081829&pmid=31394876&sid=OVID:medline + + +
