Article Abstract

Objective: To i) compare incretin responses to oral glucose and mixed meal of diabetic patients with the normoglycaemic population and ii) to investigate whether incretin responses are associated with hypertriglyceridaemia and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) as liver fat marker.

Design: A population-based study.

Methods: A total of 163 persons with normal glucose metabolism (NGM), 20 with intermediate hyperglycaemia and 20 with type 2 diabetes aged 40-65 years participated. Participants received a mixed meal and oral glucose load on separate occasions. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon profiles were analysed as total area under the curve (tAUC) and incremental area under the curve.

Results: In diabetic patients compared with persons with NGM, we found increased GLP-1 secretion (tAUC per hour) following oral glucose (23.2 pmol/l (95% CI 17.7-28.7) vs 18.0 (95% CI 16.9-19.1), P<0.05) but not after the mixed meal. GIP secretion among diabetic patients was increased on both occasions (82.9 pmol/l (55.9-109.8) vs 47.1 (43.8-50.4) for oral glucose and 130.6 (92.5-168.7) vs 83.2 (77.5-88.9) for mixed meal, both P<0.05). After oral glucose, GLP-1 (tAUC per hour) was inversely related to fasting triglycerides. GIP (tAUC per hour) was positively related to fasting and postprandial triglycerides. Higher fasting GIP levels were related to higher fasting and postprandial triglyceride levels and ALT.

Conclusion: This study confirms that in type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 secretion is generally preserved and that GIP secretion is exaggerated. The mechanism underlying the divergent associations of GLP-1 and GIP metabolism with fat metabolism and liver fat accumulation warrants further study.

The human kidneys play a pivotal role in regulating blood pressure, water, and salt homeostasis, but assessment of renal function typically requires invasive methods. Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) is a novel, noninvasive technique for mapping tissue-specific uptake and metabolism of deuterium-labeled tracers. This study evaluates the feasibility of renal DMI at 7-Tesla (7T) to track deuterium-labeled tracers with high spatial and temporal resolution, aiming to establish a foundation for potential clinical applications in the noninvasive investigation of renal physiology and pathophysiology.

Noninvasive Monitoring of Blood Glucose With In Vivo Raman Spectroscopy.

Institute of Photonics and Photon-Technology, Northwest University, Xi'an, China.

Non-invasive glucose monitoring using Raman spectroscopy with 830 nm excitation presents a promising alternative to traditional fingerstick methods for diabetes management research. An integrated in vivo Raman system enables transcutaneous glucose detection and has demonstrated robust performance in oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT), validating its reliability. Inter-subject correlation between spectral features and glucose concentration was addressed by the intensity of the fingerprint peak (I), peak intensity ratio (I/I), and the spectral area ratio (S/S), whose correlation coefficient (R) was 0.

Anti-obesity effects of water-dispersible turmeric extract via gut barrier and metabolite modulation in high-fat diet-fed mice.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) exhibits anti-obesity properties, yet its low water solubility limits bioavailability. In this study, a water-dispersible turmeric rhizome extract (WDTE) was developed using nano-dispersion technology with maltodextrin as a wall material and characterized by UPLC-QTOF-MS, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential analysis. The WDTE contained 10 identified metabolites, including five diarylheptanoids such as curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin, with curcumin quantified at 7.

Purpose: To achieve spectrally resolved in vivo detection of glutamate, glutamine, and glutathione at 3 T.

Methods: Difference editing of N-acetylaspartate CH protons (NAA-CH) combined with a new echo-time (TE) optimization approach is introduced. Difference editing was used to detect NAA-CH independently of NAA-CH, thereby eliminating systematic errors arising from constrained fitting of the entire NAA molecule.
