The Relationship

Background: Recent animal studies have found that the osteocalcin secreted by osteoblasts could participate in glucose and lipid metabolism. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum osteocalcin concentration and glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: 985 patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into the male group (n = 495) and the postmenopausal female group (n = 490). The average ages were 54.42 ± 10.535 and 64.93 ± 9.277, respectively. We collected the parameters of age, duration, fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, fasting C peptide, blood lipid, 25 (OH) VD3, parathyroid hormone (PTH), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), β-C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTx), osteocalcin, HOMA-IR, HOMA-β, body mass index (BMI), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). The relationship of osteocalcin and these parameters were analyzed by Pearson/Spearman correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: Osteocalcin was negatively correlated with HbA1c (p < 0.05) and it was also an independent relevant factor affecting HbA1c in both groups. Osteocalcin was positively correlated with HOMA-β and it was an independent relevant factor affecting HOMA-β in male group (p < 0.01). Conclusions: These findings indicate the association between serum osteocalcin and glucose metabolism and beta cell function. No relationship was found between osteocalcin and insulin resistance and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetes.

Lipid Metabolism Disorders

A sex difference of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disorders in rats with type 2 diabetes has been studied. It was established that type 2 diabetes leads to a more pronounced deterioration in carbohydrate toleranceand insulin sensitivity in males compared to female rats, but the sex doesn’t affect basal glycemia and fructosamine levels. It was found that the increase of body weight and visceral fat in rats with type 2 diabetes is moremanifested in females than in males. It has been determined that hypertriglyceridemia is higher in diabeticmales compared to diabetic females, and the level of common lipids in the liver, both intact females and femaleswith type 2 diabetes, is lower than that of the males. The obtained results indicate a more expressive impairment of glucose and lipid metabolism in males compared to females with type 2 diabetes

Glucose And Lipid Metabolism

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia caused by impaired insulin secretion and resistance of the peripheral tissues. A major pathogenesis of T2DM is obesity-associated insulin resistance. Gynura divaricata (L.) DC. (GD) is a natural plant and has been reported to have numerous health-promoting effects on both animals and humans. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of GD improving glucose and lipid metabolism in an obesity animal model induced by high-fat and high-sugar diet in combination with low dose of streptozocin and an insulin-resistant HepG2 cell model induced by dexamethasone. The study showed that the water extract of GD (GD extract A) could significantly reduce fasting serum glucose, reverse dyslipidemia and pancreatic damage, and regulate the body weight of mice. We also found that GD extract A had low toxicity in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, GD extract A may increase glucose consumption in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells, markedly inhibit NF-κB activation, and decrease the impairment in signaling molecules of insulin pathway, such as IRS-1, AKT, and GLUT1. Overall, the results indicate that GD extract A is a promising candidate for the prevention and treatment of T2DM.

Background and Aim. Studies have suggested that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a role in glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum BDNF levels and various metabolic parameters and inflammatory markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Materials and Methods. The study included 88 T2DM patients and 33 healthy controls. Fasting blood samples were obtained from the patients and the control group. The serum levels of BDNF were measured with an ELISA kit. The current paper introduces a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) generalization curve to identify cut-off for the BDNF values in type 2 diabetes patients.Results. The serum levels of BDNF were significantly higher in T2DM patients than in the healthy controls (206.81 ± 107.32 pg/mL versus 130.84 ± 59.81 pg/mL;P<0.001). They showed a positive correlation with the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (r=0.28;P<0.05), the triglyceride level (r=0.265;P<0.05), and white blood cell (WBC) count (r=0.35;P<0.001). In logistic regression analysis, age (P<0.05), body mass index (BMI) (P<0.05), C-reactive protein (CRP) (P<0.05), and BDNF (P<0.01) were independently associated with T2DM. In ROC curve analysis, BDNF cut-off was 137.Conclusion. The serum BDNF level was higher in patients with T2DM. The BDNF had a cut-off value of 137. The findings suggest that BDNF may contribute to glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammation.

AbstractThis study was performed to elucidate the potential influence of He Qi San (HQS) on glucose and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with phlegm-blood stasis syndrome (PBSS), and to determine DNA methylation changes. Sixty T2DM patients with PBSS were randomly divided into control and HQS groups. The control group received conventional treatments, and the HQS group received conventional treatments plus HQS. Glucose metabolism (FPG, 2hPG, FINS, and HbA1c) and lipid metabolism indexes (TG, TC and LDL-C) were determined. Genes with differential DNA methylation were subjected to GO and KEGG analyses. Glucose and lipid metabolism indexes in both groups were reduced, but were much more pronounced in the HQS group. Differential promoter CpG methylation regions were identified in 682 genes, including 426 genes with high-CpG promoters, 150 genes with intermediate CpG promoters, and 106 genes with low CpG promoters. Genes with differential DNA methylation were mainly enriched in the AMPK and insulin signaling pathways, terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, and renin secretion. We concluded that HQS remarkably improved indexes of glucose and lipid metabolism in T2DM patients with PBSS through regulating the DNA methylation of genes in the AMPK and insulin signaling pathways and terpenoid backbone biosynthesis.
