Abstract BACKGROUND Metabolites of the tryptophan–kynurenine pathway (i.e., tryptophan, kynurenine, kynurenic acid, quinolinic acid, 3-hydroxyanthranilic) may be associated with diabetes development. Using a case–cohort design nested in the Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea (PREDIMED) study, we studied the associations of baseline and 1-year changes of these metabolites with incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS Plasma metabolite concentrations were quantified via LC-MS for n = 641 in a randomly selected subcohort and 251 incident cases diagnosed during 3.8 years of median follow-up. Weighted Cox models adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, and other T2D risk factors were used. RESULTS Baseline tryptophan was associated with higher risk of incident T2D (hazard ratio = 1.29; 95% CI, 1.04–1.61 per SD). Positive changes in quinolinic acid from baseline to 1 year were associated with a higher risk of T2D (hazard ratio = 1.39; 95% CI, 1.09–1.77 per SD). Baseline tryptophan and kynurenic acid were directly associated with changes in homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) from baseline to 1 year. Concurrent changes in kynurenine, quinolinic acid, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, and kynurenine/tryptophan ratio were associated with baseline-to-1-year changes in HOMA-IR. CONCLUSIONS Baseline tryptophan and 1-year increases in quinolinic acid were positively associated with incident T2D. Baseline and 1-year changes in tryptophan metabolites predicted changes in HOMA-IR. Tryptophan levels may initially increase and then deplete as diabetes progresses in severity.

IntroductionWe investigated the association of the proinsulin to insulin ratio (PIR) with prevalent and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D), components of the metabolic syndrome, and renal and cardiovascular outcomes in the population-based Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) F4 study (2006–2008)/FF4 study (2013–2014).Research design and methodsThe analyses included 1514 participants of the KORA F4 study at baseline and 1132 participants of the KORA FF4 study after a median follow-up time of 6.6 years. All-cause and cardiovascular mortality as well as cardiovascular events were analyzed after a median time of 9.1 and 8.6 years, respectively. The association of PIR with T2D, renal and cardiovascular characteristics and mortality were assessed using logistic regression models. Linear regression analyses were used to assess the association of PIR with components of the metabolic syndrome.ResultsAfter adjustment for sex, age, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity, PIR was associated with prevalent (OR: 2.24; 95% CI 1.81 to 2.77; p<0.001) and incident T2D (OR: 1.66; 95% CI 1.26 to 2.17; p<0.001). PIR was associated with fasting glucose (β per SD: 0.11±0.02; p<0.001) and HbA1c (β: 0.21±0.02; p<0.001). However, PIR was not positively associated with other components of the metabolic syndrome and was even inversely associated with waist circumference (β: −0.22±0.03; p<0.001), BMI (β: −0.11±0.03; p<0.001) and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (β: −0.22±0.02; p<0.001). PIR was not significantly associated with the intima-media thickness (IMT), decline of kidney function, incident albuminuria, myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiovascular or all-cause mortality.ConclusionsIn the KORA F4/FF4 cohort, PIR was positively associated with prevalent and incident T2D, but inversely associated with waist circumference, BMI and insulin resistance, suggesting that PIR might serve as a biomarker for T2D risk independently of the metabolic syndrome, but not for microvascular or macrovascular complications.

Background and Aims: High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) may directly stimulate β-cell function and glucose metabolism. We determined the relationships of fasting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), plasma apolipoprotein (apo) A-I and apoA-II, and HDL-C–to–apoA-I and HDL-C–to–apoA-II ratios, as estimates of HDL particle composition, with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A prospective study was carried out in the Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-Stage Disease (PREVEND) cohort after exclusion of subjects with diabetes at baseline (n = 6820; age, 28–75 years). The association of HDL-related variables with incident type 2 diabetes was determined by multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: After a median follow-up of 7.7 years, 394 incident cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus were ascertained (5.8%). After adjustment for age, sex, family history of diabetes, body mass index, hypertension, alcohol, and smoking, odd ratios (ORs) for diabetes were 0.55 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.47–0.64; P &lt; .001), 0.81 (0.71–0.93; P = .002), 0.02 (0.01–0.06; P &lt; .001), and 0.03 (0.01–0.060; P &lt; .001) per 1-SD increase in HDL-C and apoA-I and in the HDL-C–to–apoA-I and the HDL-C–to–apoA-II ratios, respectively. In contrast, apoA-II was not related to incident diabetes (OR = 1.02; 95% CI, 0.90–1.16; P=0.71). The relationships of HDL-C and the ratios of HDL-C to apoA-I and HDL-C to apoA-II remained significant after further adjustment for baseline glucose and triglycerides (ORHDL = 0.74 [95% CI, 0.61–0.88], ORHDL/APO A-I = 0.14 [0.04–0.44], and ORHDL/APOA-II = 0.12 [0.04–0.36]; all P ≤ .001). Conclusions: Higher HDL-C, as well as higher HDL-C–to–apoA-I and HDL-C–to–apoA-II ratios are strongly and independently related to a lower risk of future type 2 diabetes.

Abstract Background Most previous studies on cardiovascular health (CVH) and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D) used a single measure of CVH and none investigated the association with incident prediabetes. This study aimed to examine whether changes in CVH are associated with incident T2D and prediabetes. Methods Within the prospective Whitehall II study, CVH was examined serially every 5 years from 1991/93 until 2015/16. Subjects with 0–2, 3–4 and 5–6 ideal metrics of CVH from the American Heart Association (non-smoking, and ideal levels of body mass index, physical activity, diet, blood pressure, and total cholesterol, fasting glycaemia was not considered),were categorized as having low, moderate or high CVH. Results There were 6234 participants without prior cardiovascular disease and T2D (mean age 49.8±6.0 years, 70% male) including 5015 who were additionally free of prediabetes (49.6±6.0 years, 67% male) at baseline. Over a median follow-up of 24.8 (IQR 24.0 to 25.2) years, 895 and 1703 incident cases of T2D and prediabetes occurred respectively. Change in CVH between 1991/93 and 2002/04 was calculated among 4470 participants without CVD and T2D in the interval, and among 2798 participants additionally free of prediabetes. In multivariate analysis, compared to those with stable low CVH, risk of T2D was lower in those with initially high CVH (HR=0.23; 0.09, 0.56), those who had persistently moderate CVH or changed from moderate to high CVH (moderate-moderate/high; HR=0.42; 0.33, 0.54), low-moderate/high (HR=0.50; 0.36, 0.69) and moderate-low (HR=0.63; 0.48, 0.83). Results were similar for prediabetes, but effect sizes were smaller. Conclusions Among participants without previous CVD, T2D or prediabetes, change in CVH was related to the risk of incident T2D and prediabetes.
