Abstract BackgroundThis study was aimed at determining the correlation between insulin resistance indices and atherogenic index as well as determining the ability of the indices to discriminate between low and high cardiovascular risk in diabetic individuals. The study involved 70 participants. Ethical approval was granted by the institution review board. Fasting plasma glucose, insulin and lipid profile were analyzed for each participant. Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), homeostatic mode assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), fasting glucose insulin ratio (FGIR), fasting insulin resistance index (FIRI), McAuley’s index and Raynauld’s index were calculated using the appropriate formulae. Pearson’s correlation and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were done.ResultsThe mean age of the participants was 53.34 ± 9.57 years. Males were 50%. The mean duration of type 2 diabetes in the participants was 6.29 ± 2.78 years. Each index had a strong and significant correlation with fasting plasma insulin (p<0.001). Using AIP as a marker of cardiovascular risk, 14.3% had intermediate/high risk. Among the indices, only McAuley’s index showed a statistically significant negative correlation with AIP (r= -0.453;p<0.001). None of the indices could reliably discriminate between low and intermediate/high cardiovascular risk.ConclusionThe studied indices could not predict cardiovascular risk despite their usefulness as insulin resistance markers. Further studies are needed to identify an ideal insulin resistance index that can also predict cardiovascular risk.

Objective To study the characteristics of the intestinal flora in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and analyze the association between the intestinal flora and clinical indicators. Methods We classified 80 subjects into three groups: patients with DPN (n = 45), patients type 2 diabetes without DPN (n = 21), and healthy controls (n = 14). The intestinal flora composition was compared among the three groups, and the correlation between the intestinal flora and clinical indicators was analyzed. Results At the phylum level, the richness of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria was elevated in the DN group, and that of Bacteroidetes was decreased. At the genus level, the richness of Bacteroides and Faecalibacterium was significantly decreased in the DPN group, whereas that of Escherichia- Shigella, Lachnoclostridium, Blautia, Megasphaera, and Ruminococcus torques group was increased. The homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index was positively correlated with Megasphaera richness. Glycine ursodeoxycholic acid was positively correlated with Ruminococcus gnavus group and Phascolarctobacterium richness. Tauroursodeoxycholic acid was positively correlated with Ruminococcus gnavus group and Parabacteroides richness. Conclusion There was obvious intestinal microbiota disorder in patients with DPN, which may be related to insulin resistance. These changes may have important roles in the development of DPN.

Background: Quantifying mildly elevated ketone bodies is clinically and pathophysiologically relevant, especially in the context of disease states as well as for monitoring of various diets and exercise regimens. As an alternative assay for measuring ketone bodies in the clinical laboratory, a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-based test was developed for quantification of β-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB), acetoacetate (AcAc) and acetone. Methods: The ketone body assay was evaluated for precision, linearity and stability and method comparisons were performed. In addition, plasma ketone bodies were measured in the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS, n = 1198; 373 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects). Results: β-HB and AcAc quantified using NMR and mass spectrometry and acetone quantified using NMR and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry were highly correlated (R2 = 0.996, 0.994, and 0.994 for β-HB, AcAc, acetone, respectively). Coefficients of variation (%CVs) for intra- and inter-assay precision ranged from 1.3% to 9.3%, 3.1% to 7.7%, and 3.8% to 9.1%, for β-HB, AcAc and acetone, respectively. In the IRAS, ketone bodies were elevated in subjects with T2DM versus non-diabetic individuals (p = 0.011 to ≤0.001). Age- and sex-adjusted multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that total ketone bodies and β-HB were associated directly with free fatty acids (FFAs) and T2DM and inversely with triglycerides and insulin resistance as measured by the Lipoprotein Insulin Resistance Index. Conclusions: Concentrations of the three main ketone bodies can be determined by NMR with good clinical performance, are elevated in T2DM and are inversely associated with triglycerides and insulin resistance.

Abstract Hypoglycemic Effect of Oral Administered Superoxide Dismutase on Type 2 Diabetes via reduction of glucogan and insulin resistance Background & Objective: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is carefully used in food industry for the concern of its easy degradation and difficult adsorption in digestive tract, although it plays central role in antioxidant system. It is previous reported that orally administered SOD was effective in alleviating hyperglycemia, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and chronic hepatitis. This work aimed to investigate in-depth the hypoglycaemic effect and possible mechanism of orally administered SOD in the model of type 2 diabetic rats. Methods:The model of type 2 diabetic rats were divided into 6 groups and orally administered with different Cu/Zn-SOD (abbreviated as SOD) samples and negative or positive controls. The 6 groups included SOD, SOD hydrolysate (pepsin-treated SOD), L-SOD (liposome-embedded SOD), model group and metformin positive groups, as well as normal group. Results of the body weight, serum indexes (including blood glucose, glycated albumin, insulin, glucagon, AMPK, MDA), SOD enzymatic activity in organs (liver, heart, kidney, skeletal muscle, spleen, and pancreas) as well as intestinal density and HE staining were measured to evaluate the hypoglycemic effect and possible mechanism. Results: SOD showed substantial hypoglycemic effect and improved serum indicators. Moreover, L-SOD group exhibited better effect than SOD group, though the effect of SOD hydrolysate was not obvious. Colon density and HE staining showed obvious intestinal injury in the model group, and SOD was beneficial to repair intestinal structural integrity. Furthermore, the reparative effect of SOD was much better than that of the SOD hydrolysate, but not as good as that of the L-SOD. The SOD enzymatic activity of tissues was positively correlated with the curative effect of three kinds of SOD samples. The contents of serum MDA were negatively correlated with the curative effect. Compared with the model group, the insulin resistance index of SOD group, L-SOD group and positive group were significantly reduced; and glucagon significantly decreased by 68.38, 77.50 and 65.01%, respectively. Conclusion: Oral SOD showed obvious hypoglycemic effect on type 2 diabetic rats, and liposome could improve this effect. The mechanism may be that SOD effectively reduces intestinal injury, so as to reduce glucongen and insulin resistance index.
