People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH) on antiretroviral treatment (ART) have an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic syndrome (combinations of adiposity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia). Together, CVD and metabolic syndrome constitute the cardiometabolic syndrome. Traditional CVD risk factors and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) alterations seem to contribute to the elevated CVD risk. Cumulative evidence suggests that assessing HDL function instead of HDL cholesterol levels (HDL-C) may be a better way to assess cardiometabolic risk. In HIV infection, HIV-1, ART, and the altered function of organs like the liver, gastrointestinal tract, and immune system affect the proteome, lipidome, and metabolism of HDL, ultimately leading to its dysfunction. However, the impact of altered HDL functions on PLWH remains unclear and whether HDL dysfunction reflects and/or contributes to cardiometabolic syndrome in HIV infection (bidirectional cross talk regarding how HDL function impacts the cardiometabolic syndrome and vice versa). Large cohorts of PLWH with variable CVD risk using independent assays of HDL function are needed to elucidate the bidirectional crosstalk between HDL functions and cardiometabolic syndrome. Developing novel treatments to improve HDL function in PLWH may have multiple beneficial results, reducing chronic inflammation and cardiometabolic risk in PLWH. This review aims to summarize the scientific evidence related to the role of HDL functions in HIV and how therapeutic targeting of HDL dysfunction may contribute to reduced cardiometabolic risk in PLWH.
接受抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV) (PLWH)感染者患动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(CVD)和代谢综合征(肥胖、胰岛素抵抗、高血压和血脂异常的组合)的风险增加。心血管疾病和代谢综合征共同构成心脏代谢综合征。传统的心血管疾病危险因素和高密度脂蛋白(HDL)的改变似乎有助于心血管疾病风险的升高。累积的证据表明,评估高密度脂蛋白功能而不是高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平(HDL- c)可能是评估心脏代谢风险的更好方法。在HIV感染中,HIV-1、ART以及肝脏、胃肠道和免疫系统等器官功能的改变会影响HDL的蛋白质组、脂质组和代谢,最终导致其功能障碍。然而,HDL功能改变对PLWH的影响尚不清楚,以及HDL功能障碍是否反映和/或促成了HIV感染中的心脏代谢综合征(关于HDL功能如何影响心脏代谢综合征,反之亦然的双向串扰)。需要对具有可变CVD风险的PLWH进行大型队列研究,使用HDL功能的独立分析来阐明HDL功能与心脏代谢综合征之间的双向串扰。开发新的治疗方法来改善PLWH中的HDL功能可能有多种有益的结果,减少PLWH中的慢性炎症和心脏代谢风险。本综述旨在总结与HDL功能在HIV中的作用相关的科学证据,以及如何靶向治疗HDL功能障碍有助于降低PLWH患者的心脏代谢风险。

The human brain, despite accounting for only 2 % of total body weight, exhibits an exceptionally high lipid content (approximately 20 % of its mass), highlighting the critical role of lipid metabolism in maintaining neural homeostasis and function. Neurodegenerative diseases—including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), stroke, Huntington's disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)—are characterized by progressive neuronal dysfunction and myelin degeneration. These conditions predominantly affect aging populations and represent a growing global health challenge. While aging remains the primary risk factor, compelling evidence now underscores the involvement of dysregulated lipid metabolism in their pathogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms linking dynamic lipid metabolic alterations to disease progression remain incompletely elucidated. This review systematically examines the multifaceted contributions of lipid metabolism to neurodegenerative processes and critically assesses emerging therapeutic strategies that target lipid pathways for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
人脑,尽管只占总体重的2% %,却显示出异常高的脂质含量(约占其质量的20% %),突出了脂质代谢在维持神经稳态和功能中的关键作用。神经退行性疾病——包括阿尔茨海默病(AD)、帕金森病(PD)、中风、亨廷顿病(HD)和肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)——以进行性神经元功能障碍和髓鞘变性为特征。这些疾病主要影响老龄人口,并构成日益严重的全球卫生挑战。虽然衰老仍然是主要的危险因素,但令人信服的证据强调了脂质代谢失调在其发病机制中的作用。然而,将动态脂质代谢改变与疾病进展联系起来的确切机制仍未完全阐明。本综述系统地考察了脂质代谢对神经退行性过程的多方面贡献,并批判性地评估了针对脂质途径治疗神经退行性疾病的新兴治疗策略。

The role of hypothalamic branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism in the maintenance of energy homeostasis remains elusive. By using Mendelian randomization, we found that genetically predicted branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1α subunit (BCKDHA) expression in the hypothalamus was negatively associated with fat mass. Hypothalamic deletion of BCKDHA (Bckdhaf/f;RIP-Cre) leads to increased fat mass, reduced energy expenditure, and blunted browning of white adipose tissue in mice, with decreases of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) expression in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis activity. Mice with adeno-associated virus-mediated deletion of BCKDHA in the PVNTRH neurons displays a similar metabolic phenotype to Bckdhaf/f;RIP-Cre mice. TRH supplementation ameliorates the abnormal phenotypes of Bckdhaf/f;RIP-Cre mice. Defective BCAA catabolism in the hypothalamus results in hypoacetylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) due to decreased acetyl-CoA content, reducing its binding to the Trh promoter. Our study highlights the crucial role of hypothalamic BCAA catabolism in maintaining energy homeostasis through HPT axis.

Calcitonin and procalcitonin: Revisiting the overlooked role of C cells 降钙素和原降钙素:重新审视C细胞被忽视的作用

Calcitonin (CT) is a hormone produced by C cells in the thyroid gland. Its primary function is to regulate bone turnover. However, it is believed to be of little importance to human physiology because its absence following thyroidectomy has no dramatic effects. It was used in the treatment of osteoporosis but has now largely been replaced by bisphosphonates and monoclonal antibodies. However, some studies suggest that CT may have additional functions, such as those related to bone structure, osteoprotection, and pain management. This review summarizes CT synthesis and function and discusses its role and that of its precursor, procalcitonin, as biomarkers. Procalcitonin detection has advantages over some established markers in sepsis management and due to its greater stability, it is also an alternative to CT for managing medullary thyroid carcinoma. Recent research has raised the possibility that procalcitonin could serve as a direct molecular target for treating sepsis. Potential roles of various regulatory peptides released by C cells that may contribute to paracrine fine-tuning of thyroid hormone secretion by follicular thyrocytes are considered. Health-care providers should inform patients that despite optimal thyroxine replacement therapy, subtle symptoms may still occur due to the absence of C cells.
降钙素(CT)是一种由甲状腺中的C细胞产生的激素。它的主要功能是调节骨代谢。然而,它被认为对人体生理不太重要,因为甲状腺切除术后它的消失没有显著的影响。它曾用于治疗骨质疏松症,但现在已被双膦酸盐和单克隆抗体所取代。然而,一些研究表明,CT可能具有其他功能,例如与骨结构、骨保护和疼痛管理有关的功能。本文综述了CT的合成和功能,并讨论了其前体降钙素原作为生物标志物的作用。降钙素原检测在脓毒症管理中比一些已建立的标记物有优势,并且由于其更大的稳定性,它也是CT治疗甲状腺髓样癌的替代方法。最近的研究提出了降钙素原可以作为治疗败血症的直接分子靶点的可能性。考虑了C细胞释放的各种调节肽的潜在作用,这些肽可能有助于卵泡甲状腺细胞分泌甲状腺激素的旁分泌微调。卫生保健提供者应告知患者,尽管采用了最佳甲状腺素替代疗法,但由于缺乏C细胞,仍可能出现轻微症状。

Background

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently coexist, with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) being major contributors to adverse outcomes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and tirzepatide have shown cardiorenal benefits beyond glycemic control, but their efficacy across metabolic phenotypes remains unclear.

Methods

This review was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251088042). PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched (January 2015–July 2025) for RCTs comparing GLP-1RAs or tirzepatide with placebo in patients with cardiovascular or renal disease. Subgroup analyses were performed according to T2D and obesity status.

Results

A total of 18 RCTs (n = 97,800) involving eight GLP-1RAs and tirzepatide were included, primarily enrolling patients with established cardiovascular or renal disease. GLP-1RAs significantly reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome (RR 0.88, 95 % CI 0.84–0.91, P < 0.001). GLP-1RAs and tirzepatide also significantly reduced the risk of death from any cause (RR 0.88, 95 % CI 0.84–0.92, P < 0.001), and death from cardiovascular causes (RR 0.88, 95 % CI 0.83–0.93, P < 0.001). Although the overall effect of GLP-1RAs on hospitalization for heart failure was not statistically significant (RR 0.92, 95 % CI 0.78–1.08), a potential benefit was observed in obese patients (P for interaction = 0.02), warranting further investigation. GLP-1RAs showed favorable overall safety profile, with a lower incidence of serious adverse events (RR 0.93, 95 % CI 0.89–0.99, P = 0.01) and cardiac adverse events (RR 0.90, 95 % CI 0.85–0.96, P < 0.01) compared with placebo.

Conclusion

In patients with cardiovascular or renal disease, GLP-1RAs and tirzepatide provide consistent cardiovascular and renal protection, with a possible benefit in reducing hospitalization for heart failure among individuals with obesity.
背景:心血管疾病(CVD)和慢性肾脏疾病(CKD)经常共存,肥胖和2型糖尿病(T2D)是导致不良结局的主要因素。胰高血糖素样肽-1受体激动剂(GLP-1RAs)和替西肽已显示出除血糖控制外的心脏肾脏益处,但它们在代谢表型中的功效尚不清楚。方法:本综述在PROSPERO (CRD420251088042)前瞻性注册。检索PubMed, Embase, Web of Science和Cochrane Library(2015年1月- 2025年7月),比较GLP-1RAs或替西肽与安慰剂在心血管或肾脏疾病患者中的作用。根据T2D和肥胖状况进行亚组分析。结果:共纳入18项随机对照试验(n = 97,800),涉及8个GLP-1RAs和替西帕肽,主要纳入已确诊的心血管或肾脏疾病患者。GLP-1RAs显著降低了主要复合结局的风险(RR 0.88, 95 % CI 0.84-0.91, P )结论:在心血管或肾脏疾病患者中,GLP-1RAs和替西肽提供一致的心血管和肾脏保护,可能有利于减少肥胖患者因心力衰竭住院治疗。

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability globally. Despite its complex pathological mechanisms, effective neuroprotective strategies are still lacking in clinical practice. Microglia and their metabolic processes play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of AIS, yet the impact and underlying mechanisms of microglial fructose metabolism remain unclear. In this study, we identified Slc2a5 (also known as Glut5), a crucial regulator of fructose metabolism in microglia, as a key factor contributing to the early progression of AIS. Conditional deletion of Slc2a5 in microglia significantly alleviated brain injury in a mouse model of AIS. Single-cell transcriptomic (scRNA-seq) analysis demonstrated that the deletion of Slc2a5 promoted the differentiation of microglia into stroke-associated subpopulations with neuroprotective properties. Moreover, in vitro experiments indicated that this microglial differentiation process was primarily mediated by the activity of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2). Collectively, our findings unveil a novel microglial Slc2a5-mediated fructose metabolism pathway that exacerbates brain injury after AIS. This study provides evidence for SLC2A5 as a promising therapeutic target for the clinical treatment of AIS by offering insights into its critical role in microglial metabolism and neuroprotection.
急性缺血性中风(AIS)是全球死亡和残疾的主要原因。尽管其病理机制复杂,但在临床实践中仍缺乏有效的神经保护策略。小胶质细胞及其代谢过程在AIS的发病机制中起着关键作用,但小胶质细胞果糖代谢的影响和潜在机制尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们发现Slc2a5(也称为Glut5)是小胶质细胞中果糖代谢的关键调节因子,是导致AIS早期进展的关键因素。小胶质细胞条件缺失Slc2a5可显著减轻AIS小鼠模型脑损伤。单细胞转录组学(scRNA-seq)分析表明,Slc2a5的缺失促进了小胶质细胞向具有神经保护特性的卒中相关亚群的分化。此外,体外实验表明,这种小胶质细胞分化过程主要是由丙酮酸激酶M2 (PKM2)的活性介导的。总之,我们的发现揭示了一种新的小胶质细胞slc2a5介导的果糖代谢途径,该途径加剧了AIS后的脑损伤。本研究通过深入了解Slc2a5在小胶质细胞代谢和神经保护中的关键作用,为临床治疗AIS提供了有希望的治疗靶点。

Background

Lipid peroxidation and iron overload-mediated cardiac ferroptosis play a critical role in myocardial ischemic injury and remodeling. Sphingosine kinase 2 (Sphk2) is implicated in lipid metabolism and cell survival, yet its role in myocardial infarction (MI) remains elusive. Given the critical function of ferroptosis in ischemic injury, we investigated whether Sphk2 protects the heart by regulating this novel cell death pathway.

Methods

Sphk2 expression was assessed in human failing hearts and a murine MI model. Sphk2−/− mice and AAV9-mediated cardiac-specific Sphk2 overexpression were used to assess cardiac function by echocardiography, remodeling by Masson's trichrome staining and molecular events.

Results

Sphk2 was significantly downregulated in human and murine failing hearts. Sphk2−/− mice exhibited exacerbated cardiac dysfunction, fibrosis and ferroptosis post-MI. Inhibition of CD36 signaling attenuated lipid uptake and ischemia-induced ferroptosis in Sphk2−/− mice, whereas pharmacological activation of TFEB restored autophagosome-lysosome function and further suppressed ferroptosis. Mechanistically, Sphk2 deficiency impaired the interaction with and stability of HSP90, leading to suppressed TFEB nuclear translocation, lysosomal biogenesis, and autophagic clearance of lipid peroxides. This exacerbated ferroptosis and ischemic injury via lipid-ROS accumulation and oxidative stress. Crucially, cardiac-specific overexpression of Sphk2 in knockout mice restored HSP90-TFEB signaling, ameliorated ferroptosis, and fully rescued cardiac function and remodeling after MI.

Conclusion

Our study unveils a novel role of Sphk2 in stabilizing HSP90 to activate TFEB-dependent lysosomal function, thereby mitigating lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis following ischemic injury. Our findings establish a direct causal link between Sphk2 deficiency and ischemic heart failure, which highlights the therapeutic potential of Sphk2 restoration in treating ischemic heart disease.
背景:脂质过氧化和铁超载介导的心肌铁下沉在心肌缺血损伤和重构中起关键作用。鞘氨酸激酶2 (Sphk2)与脂质代谢和细胞存活有关,但其在心肌梗死(MI)中的作用尚不清楚。鉴于铁凋亡在缺血性损伤中的关键功能,我们研究了Sphk2是否通过调节这一新的细胞死亡途径来保护心脏。方法:测定Sphk2在人类衰竭心脏和小鼠心肌梗死模型中的表达。Sphk2-/-小鼠和aav9介导的心脏特异性Sphk2过表达通过超声心动图、马氏三色染色和分子事件评估心功能。结果:Sphk2在人和小鼠衰竭心脏中显著下调。Sphk2-/-小鼠心肌梗死后心功能障碍、纤维化和铁下垂加重。抑制CD36信号可减轻Sphk2-/-小鼠的脂质摄取和缺血诱导的铁死亡,而TFEB的药理激活可恢复自噬体-溶酶体功能并进一步抑制铁死亡。机制上,Sphk2缺乏损害了与HSP90的相互作用和稳定性,导致TFEB核易位、溶酶体生物发生和脂质过氧化物自噬清除受到抑制。这通过脂质- ros积累和氧化应激加剧了铁下垂和缺血性损伤。至关重要的是,敲除小鼠中Sphk2的心脏特异性过表达恢复了HSP90- tfeb信号,改善了铁凋亡,并完全恢复了心肌梗死后的心脏功能和重塑。结论:我们的研究揭示了Sphk2在稳定HSP90激活tfeb依赖性溶酶体功能,从而减轻缺血性损伤后的脂质过氧化和铁凋亡中的新作用。我们的研究结果建立了Sphk2缺乏与缺血性心力衰竭之间的直接因果关系,这突出了Sphk2修复在缺血性心脏病治疗中的治疗潜力。

目的:血清素2C受体(Htr2c)是开发食欲抑制剂的合理靶点之一。先前的研究已经证明了Htr2c刺激的食欲抑制作用背后的神经回路的复杂性。为了开发一种安全有效的靶向Htr2c的抗肥胖药物,我们需要更好地了解Htr2c激动剂是如何抑制食欲的。在本研究中,我们重点研究了Htr2c激动剂对促肾上腺皮质激素释放激素(CRH)神经元的影响,以确定体液成分对抑制禁食诱导的食物摄入的贡献。方法:利用CRH -ires-cre小鼠荧光标记CRH神经元进行全细胞膜片钳记录(CRH -ires-cre::tdTomato小鼠),并通过与Htr2cflox/Y小鼠(CRH -ires-cre::Htr2cflox/Y小鼠)杂交选择性地删除CRH神经元中的Htr2c。我们还将靶向Htr2c的短发夹RNA (shRNA)注射到CRH -ires-cre小鼠下丘脑室旁核(PVH)中,选择性地敲除PVH内CRH神经元中的Htr2c (CRHPVH神经元)。利用这些模型小鼠,我们测试了WAY161503(一种选择性Htr2c激动剂)对体外CRH神经元活性、空腹诱导的食物摄入和体内血浆皮质酮(CORT)水平的影响。结果:WAY161503抑制CRHPVH神经元活性。在CRHPVH神经元中选择性删除Htr2c后,WAY161503的食欲抑制作用显著减弱。另一方面,WAY161503通过CRHPVH神经元表达的Htr2c促进空腹再摄食时血浆CORT水平的降低。重要的是,当小鼠用RU486(一种阻断CORT作用的糖皮质激素受体拮抗剂)预处理时,无论CRHPVH神经元是否表达功能性Htr2c, WAY161503都能抑制食物摄入。最后,我们表征了PVH神经元中Sim1 (single-minded 1, Sim1)信使RNA (mRNA)、Crh mRNA和Htr2c mRNA的表达,这可能有助于解释Htr2c刺激对禁食诱导的再进食的影响。结论:我们的研究结果表明,Htr2c在CRHPVH神经元中的表达是WAY161503在禁食诱导的再进食过程中抑制食欲的必要条件。重要的是,我们发现WAY161503抑制下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺(HPA)轴并促进血浆CORT水平的降低,从而使Htr2c刺激在禁食诱导的再进食过程中产生食欲抑制作用。据我们所知,这项研究首次强调了神经和体液途径之间协调的必要性,以抑制Htr2c激动剂引起的禁食诱导的食物摄入。

Background

Atherosclerosis, a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, is driven by endothelial dysfunction. While metabolic reprogramming toward glycolysis in endothelial cells exacerbates disease progression, the role of lactate-derived lactylation in atherogenesis remains poorly understood.

Methods

We performed RNA-seq on aortic tissues from atherosclerotic mice to identify differentially expressed genes, along with Seahorse XF metabolic flux analysis. Endothelium-specific solute carrier family 22 member 6 (Slc22a6) knockout and AAV-delivered acyl-CoA synthetase short-chain family member 1 (Acss1) knockdown mice were established on an ApoEKO background. Integrated multi-omics (RNA-seq, CUT&Tag, metabolomics) elucidated downstream regulatory networks, and in vivo pharmacological inhibition validated key pathways.

Results

Our study reveals a marked elevation of histone H3 Lysine 9 Lactylation (H3K9la) relative to acetylation in atherosclerotic aortic tissue, potentially via SLC22A6-mediated glycolytic enhancement and lactate uptake. Additionally, endothelial-specific knockout of Slc22a6 attenuates H3K9la-driven endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Integrated RNA-seq and CUT&Tag analyses identify that upregulated ACSS1 and E1A binding protein p300 (EP300) drive H3K9la, which transcriptionally activates stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), thereby exacerbating endothelial dysfunction. Pharmacological inhibition of H3K9la or SCD1 alleviates endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis in vitro and in vivo. We further establish the clinical relevance of lactate, SLC22A6, and ACSS1 in atherosclerosis.

Conclusions

Our findings unveil a metabolism-epigenetics-transcription regulatory axis in endothelial pathophysiology, thus providing novel therapeutic strategies for atherosclerosis by targeting the SLC22A6-dependent ACSS1-H3K9la-SCD1 pathway.
背景:动脉粥样硬化是心血管疾病发病率和死亡率的主要原因,是由内皮功能障碍引起的。虽然内皮细胞中糖酵解的代谢重编程加剧了疾病进展,但乳酸源性乳酸化在动脉粥样硬化中的作用仍然知之甚少。方法:我们对动脉粥样硬化小鼠的主动脉组织进行RNA-seq,以鉴定差异表达基因,并进行海马XF代谢通量分析。建立具有ApoEKO背景的内皮特异性溶质载体家族22成员6 (Slc22a6)敲除和aav递送的酰基辅酶a合成酶短链家族成员1 (Acss1)敲除小鼠。综合多组学(RNA-seq, CUT&Tag,代谢组学)阐明了下游调控网络,体内药理抑制验证了关键途径。结果:我们的研究表明,相对于乙酰化,动脉粥样硬化主动脉组织中组蛋白H3赖氨酸9乳酸化(H3K9la)显著升高,可能是通过slc22a6介导的糖酵解增强和乳酸摄取。此外,内皮特异性敲除Slc22a6可减轻h3k9la驱动的内皮功能障碍和动脉粥样硬化。综合RNA-seq和CUT&Tag分析发现,上调的ACSS1和E1A结合蛋白p300 (EP300)驱动H3K9la,其转录激活硬脂酰辅酶a去饱和酶1 (SCD1),从而加剧内皮功能障碍。体外和体内药理抑制H3K9la或SCD1可减轻内皮功能障碍和动脉粥样硬化。我们进一步确定了乳酸、SLC22A6和ACSS1在动脉粥样硬化中的临床相关性。结论:我们的研究结果揭示了内皮病理生理中的代谢-表观遗传学-转录调控轴,从而通过靶向slc22a6依赖性ACSS1-H3K9la-SCD1通路为动脉粥样硬化提供了新的治疗策略。

Background

High 1-h-post-load plasma glucose (1 h-PG) is an early diabetes risk marker. We hypothesized that isolated high 1 h-PG represents an intermediate state between normal glucose regulation (NGR) and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) and is amendable to greater lifestyle intervention (LI) benefit.

Methods

In the Tübingen Lifestyle Intervention Program, 317 people with either NGR, IGR or isolated high 1 h-PG without IGR underwent LI for 9 months to achieve ≥5 % weight loss.

Results

Before LI initiation, insulin sensitivity and β-cell function declined progressively from NGR (n = 106) to high 1 h-PG (n = 96) and to IGR (n = 115). Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume and liver fat content increased from NGT to high 1 h-PG and to IGR. LI improved insulin sensitivity and ß-cell function in the high 1 h-PG group to levels observed in NGR together with a marked reduction in hepatic fat content. Compared to the IGR group, T2D risk was reduced by 80 % (37–96 %, p = 0.005) in the high 1 h-PG group during a 12-year follow-up period. The odds of remission to complete normoglycemia were doubled in the high 1 h-PG group compared to the IGR group (2.18 [1.13–4.28], p = 0.021).

Conclusion

High 1 h-PG indicates an intermediate metabolic state with pathophysiological changes more severe than in NGR but milder than in IGR. In people with high 1 h-PG, LI significantly improved insulin sensitivity and β-cell function and reduced ectopic lipid deposition and the risk of developing T2D compared to IGR. These findings highlight the value of 1 h-PG as a clinically useful biomarker, providing a critical window for early intervention to reverse core metabolic defects driving prediabetes and T2D.
背景:高负荷后1小时血浆葡萄糖(1 h-PG)是早期糖尿病的危险标志。我们假设分离的高1 h-PG代表了正常葡萄糖调节(NGR)和葡萄糖调节受损(IGR)之间的中间状态,并且可以修正为更大的生活方式干预(LI)益处。方法:在t宾根生活方式干预项目中,317例NGR、IGR或孤立性高1 h-PG无IGR的患者接受LI治疗9 个月,体重减轻≥5 %。结果:LI起始前,胰岛素敏感性和β细胞功能由NGR (n = 106)逐渐下降到高1 h-PG (n = 96)和IGR (n = 115)。内脏脂肪组织(VAT)体积和肝脏脂肪含量从NGT增加到高1 h-PG和IGR。LI将高1 h-PG组的胰岛素敏感性和ß-细胞功能提高到NGR中观察到的水平,同时肝脏脂肪含量显著降低。在12年的随访期间,与IGR组相比,高1 h-PG组的T2D风险降低了80 %(37-96 %,p = 0.005)。与IGR组相比,高1 h-PG组达到完全正常血糖的几率增加了一倍(2.18 [1.13-4.28],p = 0.021)。结论:高1 h-PG提示处于中间代谢状态,病理生理变化较NGR严重,但较IGR轻。与IGR相比,在高1 h-PG患者中,LI可显著改善胰岛素敏感性和β细胞功能,降低异位脂质沉积和发生T2D的风险。这些发现突出了1 h-PG作为临床有用的生物标志物的价值,为早期干预逆转驱动前驱糖尿病和T2D的核心代谢缺陷提供了关键窗口。
