Background

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains a substantial healthcare burden. The Australian D-Health trial recently showed potential efficacy of vitamin D supplementation (VDS) in reducing major ASCVD events. Whether the efficacy could be translated into real-world effectiveness is unclear.

Methods

Leveraging data from the UK Biobank, we used Cox regression with competing risk of all-cause mortality to assess the association of self-reported regular VDS (83.3 % from over-the-counter) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels with ASCVD as a composite endpoint and as separate endpoints including ischemic heart disease (IHD), cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, and atherosclerotic disease.

Results

Among 409,822 study participants aged 40–69 years, 20.7 % were vitamin D deficient (25[OH]D < 30 nmol/L) and 34.4 % were vitamin D insufficient (25[OH]D 30-<50 nmol/L). Regular VDS was reported by 4.3 % of the study participants. During the follow-up of 15.9 years, 11.6 % of participants developed ASCVD. Compared to vitamin D sufficiency, vitamin D deficiency was associated with a significantly increased risk of the total ASCVD (hazard ratio [95 % confidence interval]: 1.10 [1.07–1.13]) and all separate ASCVD endpoints in the fully adjusted model with 48 covariates. Consistently, compared to non-users, VDS was associated with a reduced total ASCVD risk in the model fully adjusted for the 50 covariates (0.94[0.90–0.98]). Regarding the individual ASCVD disorders, VDS was associated with reduced IHD risk (0.90[0.86–0.96]).

Conclusion

Self-reported regular VDS and being vitamin D sufficient were both associated with reduced ASCVD risk in real-world settings. For people with low 25(OH)D levels, regular VDS may be a beneficial strategy for ASCVD prevention.
背景动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(ASCVD)仍然是一个沉重的医疗负担。澳大利亚的 D-Health 试验最近显示,补充维生素 D (VDS) 对减少主要 ASCVD 事件有潜在疗效。方法利用英国生物库的数据,我们使用全因死亡率竞争风险的 Cox 回归评估了自我报告的定期 VDS(83.3%来自非处方药)和血清 25- 羟基维生素 D (25[OH]D) 水平与 ASCVD(作为综合终点)的关系,以及与缺血性心脏病 (IHD)、脑血管疾病、外周动脉疾病和动脉粥样硬化疾病等单独终点的关系。结果在 409 822 名 40-69 岁的研究参与者中,20.7% 缺乏维生素 D(25[OH]D 为 30 毫摩尔/升),34.4% 维生素 D 不足(25[OH]D 为 30 毫摩尔/升)。据报告,4.3%的研究参与者经常出现 VDS。在15.9年的随访期间,11.6%的参与者出现了ASCVD。在包含48个协变量的完全调整模型中,与维生素D充足相比,维生素D缺乏与总的ASCVD风险显著增加(危险比[95%置信区间]:1.10 [1.07-1.13])和所有单独的ASCVD终点相关。同样,在对50个协变量进行充分调整的模型中,与非使用者相比,VDS与ASCVD总风险降低有关(0.94[0.90-0.98])。结论在现实世界中,自我报告的定期VDS和维生素D充足都与ASCVD风险的降低有关。对于25(OH)D水平较低的人群来说,定期进行VDS可能是一种有益的预防ASCVD的策略。

Background

Numerous physiological responses to exercise are observed in humans, yet the effects of long-term exercise and varying intensities on the diversity and composition of human fecal microbiota remain unclear. We investigated the effect of a 24-week supervised concurrent exercise intervention, at moderate and vigorous intensities, on fecal microbiota diversity and composition in young adults.

Methods

This ancillary study was based on data from the ACTIBATE randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02365129), and included adults (aged 18–25 years, 70 % female) that were randomized to (i) a control group (CON: no exercise, n = 20), (ii) a moderate-intensity exercise group (MOD-EX, n = 21), and (iii) a vigorous-intensity exercise group (VIG-EX, n = 20). Fecal samples were collected before and after the 24-week exercise intervention, and the diversity and composition of the fecal microbiota were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing. Inferential functional profiling of the fecal microbiota was performed and correlations between microbial changes and cardiometabolic outcomes were assessed.

Results

Exercise did not modify beta or alpha diversities regardless of the intensity (all P ≥ 0.062). The relative abundance of the Erysipelotrichaceae family (Bacillota phylum) (−0.3 ± 1.2 %; P = 0.031) was however reduced in the VIG-EX group. Coprococcus was the only genus showed a significant difference between MOD-EX and VIG-EX after the intervention, with its relative abundance increasing in MOD-EX (+0.4 ± 0.6 %; P = 0.005). None of these changes were related to the exercise-induced cardiometabolic benefits (all P ≥ 0.05).

Conclusions

In young adults, a 24-week supervised concurrent exercise program, at moderate and vigorous intensities, resulted in minor changes in fecal microbiota composition, while neither alpha nor beta diversities were affected.

Background/aims

Malnutrition screening tools often include questions about unintentional weight loss (UWL). It is unclear whether individuals who intentionally desire to lose weight or perceive themselves as overweight interpret questions regarding UWL accurately. We assessed potential misclassification of UWL-related questions in these groups.

Method

Data from the Lifelines cohort was used (ñ125.000, age >18 years). Prevalence ratios (PRs) were calculated with a simple question regarding UWL as the dependent variable and the desire to lose weight and perception of one's body weight (too heavy vs. just right/too light) as separate independent variables. Associations were stratified by body mass index (BMI) group (normal weight vs. overweight/obesity) and adjusted for various comorbidities, demographics, and quality of life.

Results

Of participants with normal weight, 30.3 % desired to lose weight, 37.9 % perceived their body weight as too heavy and 5.1 % reported UWL; this was 80.1 %, 92.7 % and 2.7 % for those with overweight/obesity. In both BMI groups, the prevalence of UWL was ∼60 % lower in participants who desired to lose weight or perceived themselves as too heavy (prevalence ratios 0.40–0.43, p-value <0.05).

Conclusion

Since there is no logical basis for the desire to lose weight or one's perception of body weight to prevent UWL, lower reported prevalence rates on UWL-related questions are likely the result of misinterpretation. Malnutrition screening tools that include questions regarding UWL might underestimate the prevalence rates of malnutrition in higher BMIs, as individuals in these groups often aspire to lose weight or perceive themselves as too heavy.
背景/目的小营养筛查工具通常包括有关非故意体重减轻(UWL)的问题。目前尚不清楚那些有意减肥或认为自己超重的人是否准确地解释了有关UWL的问题。我们评估了这些组中与uwl相关问题的潜在错误分类。方法使用来自lifeline队列的数据(ñ125.000,年龄18岁)。患病率(pr)是通过一个简单的问题来计算的,以UWL为因变量,减肥的愿望和对体重的感知(太重vs.刚刚好/太轻)为独立的自变量。根据体重指数(BMI)分组(正常体重vs超重/肥胖)对相关进行分层,并根据各种合并症、人口统计学和生活质量进行调整。结果:在体重正常的参与者中,30.3%的人希望减肥,37.9%的人认为自己的体重过重,5.1%的人报告UWL;超重/肥胖组分别为80.1%、92.7%和2.7%。在两个BMI组中,希望减肥或认为自己过重的参与者的UWL患病率降低了约60%(患病率比0.40-0.43,p值<;0.05)。结论由于减肥的愿望或对体重的感知并没有逻辑基础来预防UWL,因此报告的UWL相关问题患病率较低可能是误解的结果。包括UWL问题的营养不良筛查工具可能低估了高bmi人群中营养不良的患病率,因为这些人群中的个体往往渴望减肥或认为自己太重。

Background & aims

Colorectal cancer (CRC), particularly rectal cancer, often requires neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT) as part of its treatment plan. Although effective, RT can cause significant gastrointestinal side effects. Because the onset of RT-induced tissue injury can be anticipated, there is an opportunity to apply preventive measures before the damage occurs. This study aimed to assess whether prebiotic and synbiotic interventions could mitigate RT-induced gut injury by modulating the mucosa-associated microbiota, reducing inflammation, and enhancing gut barrier function in patients undergoing RT for rectal cancer.

Methods

Thirty patients with rectal adenocarcinoma scheduled for preoperative short-term RT (5 × 5 Gy) were divided into three groups: a control group (Ctrl), a prebiotic group (Fiber) receiving oat bran, and a synbiotic group (Synbiotics) receiving oat bran with L. plantarum HEAL19 and blueberry husks. The study products were administered daily for two weeks, starting one week before RT. Blood, faecal, and biopsy samples were collected before and after RT to evaluate inflammatory markers, intestinal permeability, histopathological changes, and mucosa-associated microbiota.

Results

The Fiber and Synbiotics groups exhibited a significant reduction in white blood cell counts following RT (p = 0.01 for both), whereas the Ctrl group did not demonstrate a significant change. However, there was no significant difference in the magnitude of change in white blood cell counts among the three groups (p = 0.12). Histopathological analysis revealed that the Synbiotics group had reduced inflammation and fibrosis compared to the Fiber and Ctrl groups. Although RT reduced bacterial diversity overall, the Synbiotics group preserved a greater proportion of bacterial species, experiencing only a 25.1 % reduction compared to a 55.4 % reduction in the Fiber group.

Conclusion

Synbiotic interventions may protect rectal mucosa by reducing inflammation and modulating mucosa-associated microbiota. The effects were primarily localized to the tissue, reflecting the short-term duration of treatment. While immediate benefits were observed, longer-term interventions should be explored to reduce systemic inflammation.
背景,结直肠癌(CRC),尤其是直肠癌,通常需要新辅助放疗(RT)作为其治疗计划的一部分。虽然有效,但RT会引起明显的胃肠道副作用。由于可以预见到rt诱导的组织损伤的发生,因此有机会在损伤发生之前采取预防措施。本研究旨在评估益生元和合成干预是否可以通过调节粘膜相关微生物群、减少炎症和增强直肠癌接受RT治疗患者的肠道屏障功能来减轻RT诱导的肠道损伤。方法30例直肠癌患者术前短期放射治疗(5 × 5 Gy)分为3组:对照组(Ctrl)、益生元组(Fiber)和合成组(Synbiotics),燕麦麸皮加植物乳杆菌HEAL19和蓝莓皮。研究产品每天服用两周,从RT前一周开始。RT前后收集血液、粪便和活检样本,以评估炎症标志物、肠通透性、组织病理学变化和粘膜相关微生物群。结果纤维组和合成组在RT后白细胞计数明显减少(p = 0.01),而Ctrl组没有明显变化。但三组患者白细胞计数变化幅度差异无统计学意义(p = 0.12)。组织病理学分析显示,与纤维组和对照组相比,合成组的炎症和纤维化减少。虽然RT总体上减少了细菌多样性,但合成菌组保留了更大比例的细菌种类,仅减少了25.1%,而纤维组减少了55.4%。结论综合干预可能通过减少炎症和调节粘膜相关菌群来保护直肠黏膜。效果主要局限于组织,反映了治疗的短期持续时间。虽然观察到直接的益处,但应探索长期干预措施以减少全身性炎症。

Background

The association of allergic diseases with the intake of fish-derived proteins and fatty acids remains unclear, with studies showing divergent results. We aimed to examine the association of those nutrients with the occurrence of allergic rhinitis (AR).

Methods

A multicenter case–control study was conducted with 411 AR cases and 477 controls. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) of AR and their 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using multivariate logistic regression models. Stratified analyses by fish type and macronutrient were undertaken.

Results

Blue fish consumption, except tuna, is associated with an important decrease in the odds of AR (1 serving/week: OR = 0.46; 95%CI: 0.27–0.80; 2 servings/week: OR = 0.30; 95%CI: 0.17–0.54; 3–4 servings/week: OR = 0.38; 95%CI: 0.20–0.68). Conversely, compared to no intake, white fish consumption is associated with higher odds of AR (3 servings/week: OR = 5.49; 95%CI: 3.27–9.24).
A high n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) ratio is associated with higher odds of AR (OR = 1.79; 95%CI: 1.03–3.13 for the highest intake level compared to the lowest). High intake of n-3 PUFAs is associated with substantially lower odds of AR ranging between 46 % and 58 % (stearidonic acid OR = 0.42; 95%CI: 0.24–0.74; eicosapentaenoic acid OR = 0.45; 95%CI: 0.25–0.80; and docosapentaenoic acid OR = 0.54; 95%CI: 0.31–0.96).

Conclusions

A high intake of blue fish, except tuna, is associated with lower odds of AR while that of white fish has an opposite association with the disease occurrence.

Background and aims

Despite increasing evidence linking triglyceride-glucose (TyG) related indices with metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes, the associations with severe infection in individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remain unclear.

Methods

We analyzed data from a large population-based cohort, which included participants who were diagnosed with MASLD and enrolled in 2016 and 2017, with follow-up until December 2022. Severe infections were defined as those requiring hospital admission or resulting in mortality. Multivariate Cox and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression models were used to evaluate the associations between TyG-related indices and severe infection among participants with MASLD. Additionally, we examined these associations within subgroups defined by age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and hyperlipidemia.

Results

Among the 11,782 eligible participants with MASLD (mean age 57.02 years; 34.36 % male), a total of 898 (7.62 %) severe infections occurred during the median follow-up of 5.71 years. The multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that high levels of TyG (HR = 1.175, 95%CI = 1.049–1.315), TyG-BMI (HR = 1.004, 95%CI = 1.001–1.006), and TyG-WC (HR = 1.002, 95%CI = 1.001–1.003) indices were significantly associated with the severe infection in patients with MASLD. The RCS curves showed positive linear correlations between three TyG-related indices with severe infection in MASLD. Subgroup analyses showed these associations were more pronounced among MASLD patients without obesity. Additionally, incorporating TyG-related indices into the basic model considerably improved the predictive ability for severe infection.

Conclusions

Our study indicated that a high TyG-related indices are associated with an increased risk of severe infection in MASLD patients. TyG-related indices would be the surrogate biomarkers for the follow-up of the MASLD population.
背景和目的尽管有越来越多的证据表明甘油三酯-葡萄糖(TyG)相关指数与代谢和心血管结局有关,但代谢功能障碍相关性脂肪性肝病(MASLD)患者严重感染的相关性仍不明确。严重感染定义为需要入院治疗或导致死亡的感染。我们使用多变量 Cox 和限制性立方样条曲线 (RCS) 回归模型来评估 MASLD 患者中 TyG 相关指数与严重感染之间的关系。结果在11782名符合条件的MASLD患者(平均年龄57.02岁;34.36%为男性)中,共有898人(7.62%)在5.71年的中位随访期间发生了严重感染。多变量Cox回归分析显示,高水平的TyG(HR = 1.175,95%CI = 1.049-1.315)、TyG-BMI(HR = 1.004,95%CI = 1.001-1.006)和TyG-WC(HR = 1.002,95%CI = 1.001-1.003)指数与MASLD患者的严重感染显著相关。RCS曲线显示,三种TyG相关指数与MASLD严重感染呈正线性相关。亚组分析显示,这些关联在无肥胖症的MASLD患者中更为明显。结论我们的研究表明,TyG相关指数高与MASLD患者严重感染风险增加有关。TyG相关指数将成为随访MASLD人群的替代生物标志物。

Background & aims

Gut microbiota has been gaining increasing attention and its important role in the maintenance of a general good health condition is already established. The potential of gut microbiota modulation through diet is an important research focus to be considered. Lipids, as omega-3 fatty acids, are well known for their beneficial role on organs and corresponding diseases. However, their impact on gut microbiota is still poorly defined, and studies on the role of other polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as conjugated linoleic and linolenic acids, are even scarcer.

Methods

By using an in vitro human fermentation model, we assessed the effect of omega-3, CLA isomers, and punicic acid on microbiota modulation.

Results

Fish oil, Omega-3, and CLA samples positively impact Akkermansia spp. and Bifidobacterium spp. growth. Moreover, all the samples supported Roseburia spp. growth after 24 h of fermentation and, importantly, they were able to maintain the Firmicutes: Bacteroidetes ratio near 1. All the bioactive fatty acid samples, except Pomegranate oil, were able to significantly increase butyrate levels compared to those found in the positive control (FOS) sample. Moreover, Fish oil and Omega-3 samples were able to increase the concentration of GABA, alanine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, and leucine between 12 and 24 h of fermentation.

Conclusions

The impact of the assessed polyunsaturated fatty acids in gut microbiota has been observed in its impact on key bacteria (Akkermansia, Bifidobacterium, and Roseburia) as well as their metabolic byproducts, including butyrate and amino acids, which could potentially play a role in modulating the gut-brain axis.
背景,肠道菌群已受到越来越多的关注,其在维持一般良好健康状况中的重要作用已经确立。通过饮食调节肠道微生物群的潜力是一个重要的研究重点。脂质,如omega-3脂肪酸,因其对器官和相应疾病的有益作用而闻名。然而,它们对肠道微生物群的影响仍不明确,而对其他多不饱和脂肪酸(如共轭亚油酸和亚麻酸)作用的研究就更少了。方法通过体外人体发酵模型,我们评估了omega-3、CLA异构体和果酸对微生物群调节的影响。结果鱼油、Omega-3和CLA样品对阿克曼氏菌和双歧杆菌的生长有积极影响。此外,所有样品在发酵24 h后都支持Roseburia spp.的生长,重要的是,它们能够保持厚壁菌门:拟杆菌门的比例接近1。与阳性对照(FOS)样品相比,除石榴油外,所有生物活性脂肪酸样品都能显著提高丁酸盐水平。此外,鱼油和Omega-3样品能够在发酵12至24小时之间增加GABA、丙氨酸、酪氨酸、苯丙氨酸、异亮氨酸和亮氨酸的浓度。结论所评估的多不饱和脂肪酸对肠道微生物群的影响已经观察到它对关键细菌(Akkermansia、双歧杆菌和Roseburia)及其代谢副产物(包括丁酸盐和氨基酸)的影响,这些代谢副产物可能在调节肠-脑轴中发挥作用。

Background

Previous evidence suggests that gut dysbiosis plays an important role in the development and progression of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity (SO), but evidence supporting this association is lacking. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota in older people with sarcopenia and SO.

Methods

A total of 1558 older adults (age ≥65 years) from a community-based cohort in Shanghai, China, underwent sarcopenia screening using the SARC-F questionnaire, with 351 participants completing further assessment. On the basis of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 and the World Health Organization obesity criteria, 60 participants were categorized into three groups: SO (n = 20), sarcopenia without obesity (Sar, n = 18), and controls (Con, n = 22). Gut microbiota composition was analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing (V3–V4 regions).

Results

Significant differences in the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota were observed in the Sar and SO groups. A reduction in alpha diversity (Chao1 and ACE indices) was found in the SO group. Beta diversity based on unweighted Unifrac PCoA was significantly different among the three groups. LEfSe analysis identified 39 taxa with significant differential abundances across groups. The Sar group exhibited enrichment of Christensenellaceae_R-7_group, Alistipes, Ruminococcus, Odoribacter, Prevotellaceae_UCG-001, Hungatella, Family_XIII_AD3011_group, Anaerotruncus, Ruminiclostridium, and Oxalobacter, along with their high taxonomic classifications. Meanwhile, Enterobacteriaceae, Allisonella, and Peptoclostridium were enriched in the SO group. Feature selection via Boruta algorithm identified five and four discriminatory taxa to construct random forest models, effectively distinguishing individuals with Sar and SO from Con. Key predictors for Sar included reduced Enterococcus, Enterobacter, and Hungatella and increased Odoribacter and Christensenellaceae_R-7_group. Conversely, SO was characterized by decreased Enterobacter, Alloprevotella, and Enterococcus and increased Allisonella. Five-fold cross-validation confirmed robust diagnostic efficacy, achieving AUCs of 0.860 (95 % CI: 0.786–0.996) for Sar and 0.826 (95 % CI: 0.735–0.970) for SO.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated that the gut microbiota of SO and Sar have distinct diversity and composition profiles. The results provide new insights into the role of gut microbiota in SO, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in this condition.
背景以前的证据表明,肠道菌群失调在肌肉疏松症和肌肉疏松性肥胖症(SO)的发生和发展过程中起着重要作用,但目前还缺乏支持这种关联的证据。因此,本研究旨在调查患有肌肉疏松症和肌肉疏松性肥胖症的老年人肠道微生物群的特征。方法来自中国上海一个社区队列的 1558 名老年人(年龄≥65 岁)使用 SARC-F 问卷进行了肌肉疏松症筛查,其中 351 人完成了进一步评估。根据 2019 年亚洲肌少症工作组和世界卫生组织肥胖标准,60 名参与者被分为三组:SO组(20人)、无肥胖症的肌肉疏松症组(18人)和对照组(22人)。采用 16S rRNA 测序(V3-V4 区域)分析了肠道微生物群的组成。结果在 Sar 组和 SO 组观察到肠道微生物群的多样性和组成存在显著差异。在 SO 组中,α 多样性(Chao1 和 ACE 指数)有所降低。基于非加权 Unifrac PCoA 的 Beta 多样性在三组中存在显著差异。LEfSe 分析发现,有 39 个分类群在各组间存在明显的丰度差异。Sar 组富集了 Christensenellaceae_R-7_group、Alistipes、Ruminococcus、Odoribacter、Prevotellaceae_UCG-001、Hungatella、Family_XIII_AD3011_group、Anaerotruncus、Ruminiclostridium 和 Oxalobacter,这些分类群的分类等级也较高。同时,SO 组中富含肠杆菌科、Allisonella 和肽杆菌。通过 Boruta 算法进行特征选择,确定了 5 个和 4 个具有区分性的类群,从而构建了随机森林模型,有效区分了 Sar 和 SO 与 Con 的个体。Sar的主要预测因子包括肠球菌、肠杆菌属和Hungatella减少,Odoribacter和Christensenellaceae_R-7_group增加。相反,SO 的特征是肠杆菌、Alloprevotella 和肠球菌减少,Allisonella 增加。五倍交叉验证证实了诊断的有效性,Sar 的 AUC 为 0.860(95 % CI:0.786-0.996),SO 的 AUC 为 0.826(95 % CI:0.735-0.970)。这些结果为了解肠道微生物群在 SO 中的作用提供了新的视角,突出了其作为 SO 治疗靶点的潜力。

Background & aims

Disturbances in arginine (ARG) and protein metabolism, as well as in gut function have been observed in response to an endurance exercise session in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). We studied whether resistance exercise also affects the acute response in arginine (role in nitric oxide synthesis), citrulline (CIT, marker of gut health), and (muscle) protein metabolism differently in COPD as compared to healthy older adults.

Methods

Patients with stable moderate to severe COPD (n = 24) and healthy controls (n = 25) completed a high-intensity resistance exercise session in the postabsorptive state. We administered a pulse of multiple stable isotopes of amino acids before, and 1 h and 24 h post-resistance exercise to assess the whole body production (WBP) and intracellular productions by compartmental analysis of ARG and CIT, and of tau-methylhistidine (TauMETHIS), phenylalanine (PHE), tyrosine (TYR), and PHE > TYR conversion as markers of muscle (myofibrillar) protein breakdown and whole body (net) protein breakdown, respectively. Muscle fatigue was determined by assessing the decay in peak leg extension torque post-resistance exercise.

Results

COPD patients overall exhibited lower WBP ARG (p < 0.0001), CIT (p < 0.0001), PHE (p = 0.0001), TYR (p < 0.0001), and tau-METHIS (p = 0.0004) compared to controls. Resistance exercise did not change WBP of PHE, tau-METHIS, or PHE > TYR conversion, despite prolonged muscle fatigue in COPD. WBP CIT was increased at 1- and 24-h post-exercise in both groups (p < 0.003). Plasma CIT concentrations were reduced in both groups (p < 0.006) and remained lower at 24 h post-exercise in COPD only (p < 0.05) despite a third less work performed.

Conclusions

Both COPD and healthy participants exhibited upregulated whole-body citrulline production following resistance exercise. However, in COPD, this increase was insufficient to counteract the sustained reduction in plasma citrulline concentration, despite performing significantly less work during the exercise session. This prolonged disturbance in citrulline metabolism in COPD points to a potential exercise-induced enterocyte dysfunction, highlighting a novel area for understanding the impact of resistance exercise on gut health in this population.

背景,目的:慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者耐力运动后,观察到精氨酸(ARG)和蛋白质代谢以及肠道功能的紊乱。我们研究了与健康老年人相比,阻力运动是否也影响慢性阻塞性肺病患者精氨酸(在一氧化氮合成中的作用)、瓜氨酸(CIT,肠道健康标志物)和(肌肉)蛋白质代谢的急性反应。方法稳定的中重度COPD患者(24例)和健康对照(25例)在吸收后状态完成高强度阻力运动。我们在抗阻运动前、运动后1小时和24小时给予多种稳定的氨基酸同位素脉冲,通过区隔分析ARG和CIT,以及tau-甲基组氨酸(TauMETHIS)、苯丙氨酸(PHE)、酪氨酸(TYR)和PHE >来评估全身产量(WBP)和细胞内产量;TYR转化分别作为肌肉(肌纤维)蛋白分解和全身(净)蛋白分解的标志。肌肉疲劳是通过评估阻力运动后腿部伸展扭矩峰值的衰减来确定的。结果scopd患者总体表现出较低的WBP ARG (p <;0.0001), CIT (p <;0.0001), PHE (p = 0.0001), TYR (p <;0.0001), tau-METHIS (p = 0.0004)。抗阻运动未改变PHE、tau-METHIS和PHE的WBP;尽管慢性阻塞性肺病患者长期肌肉疲劳,TYR转换。两组WBP CIT均在运动后1和24小时升高(p <;0.003)。两组患者血浆CIT浓度均降低(p <;0.006),仅COPD患者运动后24小时仍较低(p <;0.05),尽管完成的工作少了三分之一。结论COPD和健康参与者在抗阻运动后均表现出全身瓜氨酸分泌上调。然而,在COPD患者中,这种增加不足以抵消血浆瓜氨酸浓度的持续下降,尽管在锻炼期间进行的工作明显减少。慢性阻塞性肺病患者瓜氨酸代谢的长期紊乱表明运动可能引起肠细胞功能障碍,这为理解抗阻运动对该人群肠道健康的影响开辟了一个新的领域。临床试验注册ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02780219。

We studied whether resistance exercise also affects the acute response in arginine (role in nitric oxide synthesis), citrulline (CIT, marker of gut health), and (muscle) protein metabolism differently in COPD as compared to healthy older adults.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Patients with stable moderate to severe COPD (n = 24) and healthy controls (n = 25) completed a high-intensity resistance exercise session in the postabsorptive state. We administered a pulse of multiple stable isotopes of amino acids before, and 1 h and 24 h post-resistance exercise to assess the whole body production (WBP) and intracellular productions by compartmental analysis of ARG and CIT, and of tau-methylhistidine (TauMETHIS), phenylalanine (PHE), tyrosine (TYR), and PHE &gt; TYR conversion as markers of muscle (myofibrillar) protein breakdown and whole body (net) protein breakdown, respectively. Muscle fatigue was determined by assessing the decay in peak leg extension torque post-resistance exercise.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>COPD patients overall exhibited lower WBP ARG (p &lt; 0.0001), CIT (p &lt; 0.0001), PHE (p = 0.0001), TYR (p &lt; 0.0001), and tau-METHIS (p = 0.0004) compared to controls. Resistance exercise did not change WBP of PHE, tau-METHIS, or PHE &gt; TYR conversion, despite prolonged muscle fatigue in COPD. WBP CIT was increased at 1- and 24-h post-exercise in both groups (p &lt; 0.003). Plasma CIT concentrations were reduced in both groups (p &lt; 0.006) and remained lower at 24 h post-exercise in COPD only (p &lt; 0.05) despite a third less work performed.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Both COPD and healthy participants exhibited upregulated whole-body citrulline production following resistance exercise. However, in COPD, this increase was insufficient to counteract the sustained reduction in plasma citrulline concentration, despite performing significantly less work during the exercise session. This prolonged disturbance in citrulline metabolism in COPD points to a potential exercise-induced enterocyte dysfunction, highlighting a novel area for understanding the impact of resistance exercise on gut health in this population.</div></div><div><h3>Clinical trial registry</h3><div>Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: <span><span>NCT02780219</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10517,"journal":{"name":"Clinical nutrition","volume":"49 ","pages":"Pages 21-32"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143828703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
