RESUMO
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is the most common form of persistent hypoglycemia in infants, and diazoxide is the most widely used drug for its treatment. Diazoxide suppresses insulin secretion and attenuates hypoglycemia by binding to sulfonylurea receptor 1 and activating KATP channels. While the short-term side effects of this drug, such as edema and blood cell abnormalities, are well known, the clinical course after its long-term oral administration remains unclear. Furthermore, there are currently no case reports clearly demonstrating a causal relationship between diazoxide and impaired glucose tolerance. We herein describe the case of a 9-year-old girl with CHI complicated with Kabuki syndrome who presented with impaired glucose tolerance due to decreased initial insulin secretion and insulin resistance caused by obesity resulting from diazoxide medication. This is a rare case of the insufficient effects of insulin due to the oral administration of diazoxide, and provides insights for managing the long-term administration of diazoxide to children.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Changes in glucolipid metabolism parameters in patients undergoing renal transplantation (RT) and their influences on the incidence of postoperative complications were analysed. The objective was to provide a reference for clinical practice and reliable and safe implementation of RT. METHODS: A total of 131 patients treated with RT at our institution from January 2019 to March 2024 were selected for retrospective analysis: 71 patients who developed postoperative complications (research group) and 60 patients who did not (control group). Differences in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) levels before and three days after surgery were compared, and their predictive value for postoperative complications was analysed. In addition, relevant factors influencing complications after RT were identified. RESULTS: HbA1c level changed significantly in neither group after surgery (p > 0.05), but FPG, TG and TC levels increased in both groups (p < 0.05). Differences in FPG and TC levels before and after surgery were larger than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve revealed the excellent diagnostic value of differences in FPG and TC levels for postoperative complications, and logistic regression analysis indicated that such differences were independent risk factors for complications after RT (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The early evaluation of postoperative complications can be achieved by monitoring differences in FPG and TC levels before and after RT, allowing for the timely formulation and implementation of interventions.

AIM: To assess the incidence of glucose metabolism disorders, administered hypoglycemic therapy and its effectiveness in a cohort of patients with previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM) hospitalized for scheduled lower limb joint arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 502 patients. Medical history, information about previously diagnosed DM and prescribed hypoglycemic therapy were collected in all patients according to medical documentation, as well as according to the patients' survey. Within the preoperative examination, the glucose level was measured, and in patients with previously diagnosed diabetes, measuremaent of the HbA1c level was recommended. RESULTS: The study population included 180 (35.9%) males and 322 females (64.1%). Among them, 99 (19.7%) patients had disorders of glucose metabolism [type 1 diabetes - 1 (0.2%) patient, type 2 diabetes - 90 (17.9%) patients, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) - 8 (1.6%) patients]. In 8 patients, type 2 diabetes was newly diagnosed during the preoperative examination. HbA1c was measured before hospitalization in 26 patients with diabetes, the mean level was 7.0±1.4%. Regarding the analysis of hypoglycemic therapy, almost half of the patients with DM - 47 (47.5%) - received metformin monotherapy, 8 patients with IGT and 8 patients with newly diagnosed DM did not receive any drug therapy. Target glycemic levels during therapy were achieved in 36 (36.4%) patients, and target HbA1c levels were achieved in 21 patients. CONCLUSION: The cohort of patients hospitalized for elective lower limb joint arthroplasty is characterized by a relatively high incidence of glucose metabolism disorders, and in some patients, DM was newly diagnosed during the preoperative examination. Metformin is most often used as hypoglycemic therapy, and the target values of glycemia during treatment were achieved in less than half of the patients. The monitoring of the level of glycated hemoglobin is low and requires additional population analysis in order to determine the causes and optimize the strategy of patient management.

The central nervous system regulates feeding, weight and glucose homeostasis in rodents and humans, but the site-specific mechanisms remain unclear. The dorsal vagal complex in the brainstem that contains the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and area postrema (AP) emerges as a regulatory center that impacts energy and glucose balance by monitoring hormonal and nutrient changes. However, the specific mechanistic metabolic roles of the NTS and AP remain elusive. This mini-review highlights methods to study their distinct roles and recent findings on their metabolic differences and similarities of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) action and glucose sensing in the NTS and AP. In summary, future research aims to characterize hormonal and glucose sensing mechanisms in the AP and/or NTS carries potential to unveil novel targets that lower weight and glucose levels in obesity and diabetes.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Ginseng berry (GB) has previously been demonstrated to improve systemic insulin resistance and regulate hepatic glucose metabolism and steatosis in mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO). OBJECTIVES: In this study, the role of GB in metabolism was assessed using metabolomics analysis on the total liver metabolites of DIO mice. METHODS: Metabolomic profiling was performed using capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry (CE-TOF/MS) of liver tissue from mice on a 12-wk normal chow diet (NC), high-fat diet (HFD), and HFD supplemented with 0.1% GB (HFD + GB). The detected metabolites, its pathways, and functions were analyzed through partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), the small molecular pathway database (SMPDB), and MetaboAnalyst 5.0. RESULTS: The liver metabolite profiles of NC, HFD, and GB-fed mice (HFD + GB) were highly compartmentalized. Metabolites involved in major liver functions, such as mitochondrial function, gluconeogenesis/glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, and primary bile acid biosynthesis, showed differences after GB intake. The metabolites that showed significant correlations with fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin, and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were highly associated with mitochondrial membrane function, energy homeostasis, and glucose metabolism. Ginseng berry intake increased the levels of metabolites involved in mitochondrial membrane function, decreased the levels of metabolites related to glucose metabolism, and was highly correlated with metabolic phenotypes. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that long-term intake of GB changed the metabolite of hepatosteatotic livers in DIO mice, normalizing global liver metabolites involved in mitochondrial function and glucose metabolism and indicating the potential mechanism of GB in ameliorating hyperglycemia in DIO mice.

Background: Sleeve gastrectomy is an effective surgical option for morbid obesity, and it improves glucose homeostasis. In patients with gastric cancer and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), gastrectomy, including total gastrectomy, is beneficial for glycemic control. Objective: This study aims to clarify the effects of gastrectomy and different reconstructive techniques on the incidence of postoperative DM in patients with gastric cancer. Methods: This retrospective, single-center, cohort study included 715 patients without DM who underwent total gastrectomy at the Tokyo Metropolitan Bokutoh Hospital between August 2005 and March 2019. Patients underwent reconstruction by Roux-en-Y (RY) gastric bypass or other surgical techniques (OT), with DM onset determined by hemoglobin A1c levels or medical records. Analyses included 2-sample, 2-tailed t tests; χ2 tests; and the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank tests to compare the onset curves between the RY and OT groups, along with additional curves stratified by sex. A Swimmer plot for censoring and new-onset DM was implemented. Results: Stratified data analysis compared the RY and OT reconstruction methods. The hazard ratio was 1.52 (95% CI 1.06-2.18; P=.02), which indicated a statistically significant difference in the incidence of new-onset diabetes between the RY and OT groups in patients with gastric cancer. The hazard ratio after propensity score matching was 1.42 (95% CI 1.09-1.86; P=.009). Conclusions: This first-of-its-kind study provides insight into how different methods of gastric reconstruction affect postoperative diabetes. The results suggest significant differences in new-onset DM after surgery based on the reconstruction method. This research highlights the need for careful surgical planning to consider potential postoperative DM, particularly in patients with a family history of DM. Future studies should investigate the role of gut microbiota and other reconstructive techniques, such as laparoscopic jejunal interposition, in developing postoperative DM.
RESUMO
Abnormal glucose metabolism in microglial is closely associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Reprogramming of microglial glucose metabolism is centered on regulating the way in which microglial metabolize glucose to alter microglial function. Therefore, reprogramming microglial glucose metabolism is considered as a therapeutic strategy for AD. Huanshaodan (HSD) is a Chinese herbal compound which shows significant efficacy in treating AD, however, the precise mechanism by which HSD treats AD remains unclear. This study is aim to investigate whether HSD exerts anti-AD effects by regulating the metabolic reprogramming of microglial through the mTOR/HIF-1α signaling pathway. SAMP8 mice and BV2 cells were used to explore the alleviative effect of HSD on AD and the molecular mechanism in vivo and in vitro. The pharmacodynamic effects of HSD was evaluated by behavioral tests. The pathological deposition of Aß in brain of mice was detected by immunohistochemistry. ELISA method was used to measure the activity of HK2 and the expression of PKM2, IL-6 and TNF-α in hippocampus and cortex tissues of mice. Meanwhile, proteins levels of p-mTOR, mTOR, HIF-1α, CD86, Arg1 and IL-1ß were detected by Western-blot. LPS-induced BV2 cells were treated with HSD-containing serum. The analysis of the expression profiles of the CD86 and CD206 markers by flow cytometry allows us to distinguish the BV2 polarization. Glucose, lactic acid, ATP, IL-6 and TNF-α levels, as well as lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate dehydrogenase activities were evaluated in the BV2. Western-blot analysis was employed to detect mTOR, p-mTOR, HIF-1α and IL-1ß levels in BV2. And the mTOR agonist MHY1485 (MHY) was chosen to reverse validate. In this study, it is found that HSD improved cognitive impairment in SAMP8 mice and reduced Aß deposition, suppressed the levels of glycolysis and neuroinflammation in mice. In LPS-induced BV2 cells, HSD also regulated glycolysis and neuroinflammation, and suppressed the mTOR/HIF-1α signaling pathway. More importantly, these effects were reversed by MHY. It is demonstrated that HSD regulated microglial glucose metabolism reprogramming by inhibiting the mTOR/HIF-1α signaling pathway, alleviated neuroinflammation, and exerted anti-AD effects. This study provided scientific evidence for the clinical application of HSD for treating AD.
RESUMO
Background: An increasing number of research have applied neuroimaging techniques to explore the potential neurobiological mechanism of Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). Purpose: To explore the correlation between resting brain glucose metabolism and CRCI using 18F-FDG PET/CT in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. Methods: From December 2021 to March 2022, 38 patients with OC were selected as the study group, and 38 healthy women of the same age (±1 year) who underwent routine physical examination using PET/CT were selected as the control group. Patients received further assessment with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) and Perceived Deficit Questionnaire (PDQ). Independent sample t-test and Spearman correlation were conducted for data analysis. Results: The resting brain glucose metabolism in the OC group was significantly lower than in the healthy controls. 60.52 % patients had neuropsychological impairment and retrospective memory were the most serious perceived cognitive impairments. The resting brain glucose metabolism in OC patients did not significantly correlate with neuropsychological performance but had significant positive correlation with subjective cognitive evaluation. Discussion: Resting glucose metabolism was low in OC patients and associated with subjective cognitive impairment but not objective neuropsychological test results. 18F-FDG PET/CT can be used to evaluate brain function in OC patients and provide reliable imaging indicators for early recognition of and intervention for changes in cognitive function.
RESUMO
Our meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of probiotics in weight loss and glucose and lipid metabolism in overweight or obese women. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were used from inception until March 2024 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCT's) literature. Finally, 11 RCTs were included. Following critical appraisal, a meta-analysis was conducted using the fixed effects model and the random effects model found that probiotic consumption significantly decreased waist circumference (WC) (SMD = -0.39 cm, 95% CI: -0.60, -0.18 cm, P < 0.00001, I2 = 33%), insulin (SMD = -0.45 mcU/ml; 95% CI: -0.72, -0.18 mcU/ml; P = 0.04, I2 = 40%) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels (SMD = -0.51 mmol/L; 95% CI: -0.92, -0.11 mmol/L; P = 0.02, I2 = 75%) in overweight or obese women. Moreover, subgroup analyses revealed that the effects of probiotic supplementation were significantly influenced by the intervention duration and diet and/or exercise intervention. This meta-analysis suggested that probiotic supplementation has a moderate and statistically significant effect on weight loss and glucose and lipid metabolism in overweight and obese women.
RESUMO
Current antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens efficiently limit HIV replication, thereby improving life expectancy of people living with HIV, but also cause metabolic side effects. The ongoing obesity epidemic has resulted in more people with metabolic comorbidities at the time of HIV infection, yet the impact of pre-existing metabolic dysregulation on infection sequelae and response to ART is unclear. Here, to investigate the impact of preexisting obesity and insulin resistance on acute infection and subsequent long-term ART, we infected a cohort of lean and obese adult male macaques with SIV and administered ART. The responses of lean and obese macaques to SIV and ART were similar with respect to plasma and cell-associated viral loads, ART drug levels in plasma and tissues, SIV-specific immune responses, adipose tissue and islet morphology, and colon inflammation, with baseline differences between lean and obese groups largely maintained. Both groups exhibited a striking depletion of CD4+ T cells from adipose tissue that did not recover with ART. However, differential responses to SIV and ART were observed for body weight, omental adipocyte size, and the adiponectin/leptin ratio, a marker of cardiometabolic risk. Thus, obesity and insulin resistance had limited effects on multiple responses to acute SIV infection and ART, while several factors that underlie long-term metabolic comorbidities were influenced by prior obesity and insulin resistance. These studies provide the foundation for future investigations into the efficacy of adjunct therapies such as metformin and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in the prevention of metabolic comorbidities in people living with HIV.
RESUMO
Cancer is characterized by metabolic reprogramming in cancer cells, which is crucial for tumorigenesis. The highly deregulated chromatin remodeler MORC2 contributes to cell proliferation, invasion, migration, DNA repair, and chemoresistance. MORC2 also plays a key role in metabolic reprogramming, including lipogenesis, glucose, and glutamine metabolism. A recent study showed that MORC2-regulated glucose metabolism affects the expression of E-cadherin, a crucial protein in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. This review discusses recent developments in MORC2 regulated cancer cell metabolism and its role in cancer progression.

AIM: To assess oxytocin's acute glucoregulatory impact in men with type 2 diabetes in the context of our previous findings that oxytocin improves ß-cell responsivity in healthy men. METHODS: In a double-blind, crossover comparison, intranasal oxytocin (24 IU) and placebo, respectively, were administered to 25 fasted men with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (age ± standard error of the mean, 63.40 ± 1.36 years; body mass index, 27.77 ± 0.66 kg/m2; HbA1c, 6.86% ± 0.08%; Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR, 3.44 ± 0.39) 60 minutes before an oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT). Key outcomes were compared with previous results in men with normal weight or obesity. RESULTS: Oxytocin compared with placebo increased plasma oxytocin concentrations and reduced the heart rate, but did not alter glucose metabolism in the 3 hours after oGTT onset (area under the curve, glucose, 2240 ± 80.5 vs. 2190 ± 69.5 mmol/L × min; insulin, 45 663 ± 4538 vs. 44 343 ± 4269 pmol/L × min; C-peptide, 235 ± 5.1 vs. 231 ± 15.9 nmol/L × min). CONCLUSIONS: This outcome contrasts with the oxytocin-induced attenuation of early postprandial glucose excursions in normal-weight individuals, but is in line with the absence of respective effects in men with obesity. We conclude that insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes is associated with decreased sensitivity to the acute glucoregulatory effect of oxytocin in male individuals.
RESUMO
The aim of this experiment was to elucidate the metabolic ramifications of tryptophan supplementation in the context of high-carbohydrate diet-feeding, which is important for improving feeding strategies in aquaculture in order to improve fish carbohydrate metabolism. Juvenile blunt snout bream with an initial mean body mass of 55.0±0.5 g were allocated to consume one of three experimental diets: CN, a normal diet with carbohydrate content of 30% (w/w); HC, a diet with high carbohydrate content of 43% (w/w); and HL, a high-carbohydrate diet to which 0.8% L-tryptophan (L-trp) had been added. These diets were fed for 8 weeks, and the effects of the carbohydrate and tryptophan contents of the diets were assessed. Histological analysis using Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) and Oil Red O staining revealed that high-carbohydrate intake was associated with abnormal hepatocyte morphology and excessive liver lipid accumulation, which were notably ameliorated by tryptophan supplementation. A significant increase in plasma glucose, glucagon, AGEs (advanced glycation end products), triglycerides, total cholesterol, and a significant decrease in insulin and hepatic glycogen after a high-carbohydrate diet in terms of plasma indices, compared to the control group. Almost all of them were restored to the normal level in the HL group. The present study might preliminarily suggest that tryptophan supplementation ameliorates the imbalance in glucose metabolism of this species induced by a high-carbohydrate diet. Transcriptomics showed that glucose metabolism under high carbohydrate was mainly regulated by the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. The mRNA expression and protein levels of GLUT2 also varied with this pathway, which would suggest that sustained activation of this pathway with the addition of tryptophan accelerates glucose transport and insulin secretion under high-carbohydrate diet. Subsequent GTT and ITT experiments have also demonstrated that tryptophan improves glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance in blunt snout bream on a high-carbohydrate diet. In conclusion, these findings elucidate the positive regulatory effect of tryptophan on the PI3K-AKT-GLUT2 pathway under a high carbohydrate diet and provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent rational application of high carbohydrate diets in the future.
RESUMO
Cancer cells display an altered metabolic phenotype, characterised by increased glycolysis and lactate production, even in the presence of sufficient oxygen - a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. This metabolic reprogramming is a crucial adaptation that enables cancer cells to meet their elevated energy and biosynthetic demands. Importantly, the tumor microenvironment plays a pivotal role in shaping and sustaining this metabolic shift in cancer cells. This review explores the intricate relationship between the tumor microenvironment and the Warburg effect, highlighting how communication within this niche regulates cancer cell metabolism and impacts tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. We discuss the potential of targeting the Warburg effect as a promising therapeutic strategy, with the aim of disrupting the metabolic advantage of cancer cells and enhancing our understanding of this complex interplay within the tumor microenvironment.
RESUMO
Reprogramming of cancer metabolism has become increasingly concerned over the last decade, particularly the reprogramming of glucose metabolism, also known as the "Warburg effect". The reprogramming of glucose metabolism is considered a novel hallmark of human cancers. A growing number of studies have shown that reprogramming of glucose metabolism can regulate many biological processes of cancers, including carcinogenesis, progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. In this review, we summarize the major biological functions, clinical significance, potential targets and signaling pathways of glucose metabolic reprogramming in human cancers. Moreover, the applications of natural products and small molecule inhibitors targeting glucose metabolic reprogramming are analyzed, some clinical agents targeting glucose metabolic reprogramming and trial statuses are summarized, as well as the pros and cons of targeting glucose metabolic reprogramming for cancer therapy are analyzed. Overall, the reprogramming of glucose metabolism plays an important role in the prediction, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human cancers. Glucose metabolic reprogramming-related targets have great potential to serve as biomarkers for improving individual outcomes and prognosis in cancer patients. The clinical innovations related to targeting the reprogramming of glucose metabolism will be a hotspot for cancer therapy research in the future. We suggest that more high-quality clinical trials with more abundant drug formulations and toxicology experiments would be beneficial for the development and clinical application of drugs targeting reprogramming of glucose metabolism.This review will provide the researchers with the broader perspective and comprehensive understanding about the important significance of glucose metabolic reprogramming in human cancers.
RESUMO
Abnormal glucose metabolism is a common disease of the endocrine system. The effects of drugs on glucose metabolism have been reported frequently in recent years, and since abnormal glucose metabolism increases the risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications, metabolic disorders, and infection, clinicians need to pay close attention to these effects. A variety of common drugs can affect glucose metabolism and have different mechanisms of action. Hypertension is a common chronic cardiovascular disease that requires long-term medication. Studies have shown that various antihypertensive drugs also have an impact on glucose metabolism. Among them, α-receptor blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and calcium channel blockers can improve insulin resistance, while ß-receptor blockers, thiazides and loop diuretics can impair glucose metabolism. The aim of this review was to discuss the mechanisms underlying the effects of various antihypertensive drugs on glucose metabolism in order to provide reference information for rational clinical drug use.
RESUMO
Ischemic stroke is a serious condition that results in high rates of illness and death. Anaerobic glycolysis becomes the primary means of providing energy to the brain during periods of low oxygen levels, such as in the aftermath of an ischemic stroke. This process is essential for maintaining vital brain functions and has significant implications for recovery following a stroke. Energy supply by anaerobic glycolysis and acidosis caused by lactic acid accumulation are important pathological processes after ischemic stroke. Numerous natural products regulate glucose and lactate, which in turn modulate anaerobic glycolysis. This article focuses on the relationship between anaerobic glycolysis and ischemic stroke, as well as the associated signaling pathways and natural products that play a therapeutic role. These natural products, which can regulate anaerobic glycolysis, will provide new avenues and perspectives for the treatment of ischemic stroke in the future.
RESUMO
Lungs can undergo facultative regeneration, but handicapped regeneration often leads to fibrosis. How microenvironmental cues coordinate lung regeneration via modulating cell death remains unknown. Here, we reveal that the neurotransmitter dopamine modifies the endothelial niche to suppress ferroptosis, promoting lung regeneration over fibrosis. A chemoproteomic approach shows that dopamine blocks ferroptosis in endothelial cells (ECs) via dopaminylating triosephosphate isomerase 1 (TPI1). Suppressing TPI1 dopaminylation in ECs triggers ferroptotic angiocrine signaling to aberrantly activate fibroblasts, leading to a transition from lung regeneration to fibrosis. Mechanistically, dopaminylation of glutamine (Q) 65 residue in TPI1 directionally enhances TPI1's activity to convert dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP), directing ether phospholipid synthesis to glucose metabolism in regenerating lung ECs. This metabolic shift attenuates lipid peroxidation and blocks ferroptosis. Restoring TPI1 Q65 dopaminylation in an injured endothelial niche overturns ferroptosis to normalize pro-regenerative angiocrine function and alleviate lung fibrosis. Overall, dopaminylation of TPI1 balances lipid/glucose metabolism and suppresses pro-fibrotic ferroptosis in regenerating lungs.
