RESUMEN
n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and their lipid mediator metabolites are associated with inflammation. We investigated the effect of dietary intake of plant- and animal-derived n-3 PUFAs and fish protein on the circulatory concentrations of lipid mediators. Seventy-nine subjects with impaired fasting glucose who completed the controlled dietary intervention after randomization to the fatty fish (FF, n=20), lean fish (LF, n=21), Camelina sativa oil (CSO, n=18) or control group (n=20) for 12 weeks were studied. Lipid mediator profiling from fasting plasma samples before and after the intervention was performed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The FF diet increased concentrations of 18-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (18-HEPE) and 4- and 17-hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid (4-, 17-HDoHE) derived from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), respectively. Concentrations of lipid mediators derived from α-linolenic acid (ALA) increased and arachidonic acid (AA) derived 5-iso prostaglandin F2α-VI decreased in the CSO group. There were no significant changes in lipid mediators in the LF group. The dietary intake of both plant and animal-based n-3 PUFAs increased circulatory concentrations of lipid mediators with potential anti-inflammatory properties.

The hypoglycemic properties of polyphenolic compounds of plant origin are confirmed by the results of numerous preclinical and clinical studies. However, the biological effects of these compounds are limited by their low bioavailability. This makes it urgent to develop methods for its increasing due to new methods of entering polyphenols into the organism, for example, by extracting them from natural sources in the form of extracts and concentrating extracts on food polymer matrices for subsequent use as a functional food ingredient (FFI). The aim of this study was to evaluate in vivo the possible effect of consumption of the obtained FFI in the form of a food matrix - buckwheat flour enriched with bilberry polyphenols - on carbohydrate metabolism disorders induced by a high-fat diet with a high content of easily digestible carbohydrates (sucrose) and anxiety level of male C57Bl/6c mice. Material and methods. The food matrix was obtained by sorption of the bilberry fruits polyphenol extract on buckwheat flour. The total polyphenol content in the composition of food matrix was 8.9±0.7 mg-eq gallic acid/g flour. Total anthocyanin content in the composition of food matrix was 4.6±0.1 mg/g flour. The experiment was conducted for 150 days using 48 male C57Bl/6c mice (weaners). The animals were divided into 3 groups: the control group K1 (n=16, the mice received a standard semi-synthetic diet (22.5% protein, 10% fat, 58% carbohydrates as starch, 362 kcal/100 g), the control group K2 (n=14) and the experimental group G3 (n=18). Disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in animals of groups K2 and G3 were modeled by feeding an iso-nitrogenous high-fat diet with a high content of easily digestible carbohydrates (HFHC-diet: 22.5% protein, 30% fat, 18% carbohydrates in the form of starch, 20% sucrose, 493 kcal/100 g). FFI, a food matrix in the amount of 6.6 g/100 g of feed, was introduced into the diet of animals of the experimental group G3, which corresponded to the amount of polyphenols equal to 58.7 mg-eq gallic acid/100 g of feed and the content of anthocyanins 30.4 mg/100 g of feed. Once every three weeks, the level of glucose in the blood of animals was monitored. On days 60 and 114 of the experiment, animals were tested on an elevated plus maze. Animals were decapitated under light ether anesthesia at the end of experiment. The content of glycated hemoglobin was determined in the blood. Results and discussion. Animals of both groups treated with HFHC-diet consumed significantly less feed compared with animals of the control group K1 (2.91±0.05 g/day per mouse). Moreover, animals of the experimental group G3 consumed significantly more food (2.51±0.04 g/day per mouse) compared with animals of the control group K2 (2.36±0.04 g/day per mouse). In contrast, the energy consumption of animals of both groups fed HFHC-diet was significantly higher compared to the K1 group (10.5±0.2 kcal/ day per mouse). Energy consumption by animals of group G3 (12.3±0.2 kcal/day per mouse) was significantly higher compared to animals of the control group K2 (11.5±0.2 kcal/day per mouse). The data obtained indicate that the consumption of FFI in the form of polyphenols adsorbed on the food matrix can contribute to increased appetite in animals treated with the high-fat diet. The results of the Elevated Plus Maze test indicated the absence of the effect of polyphenols in the composition of the food matrix on the anxiety level of animals. Starting from day 42 until the end of the experiment, the glucose level in animals of group G3 was significantly lower than the corresponding indicator for animals of the control group K2. Conclusion. In accordance with the results obtained, further studies of the safety and clinical efficacy of including the developed FFI in the form of a food matrix with polyphenols into the composition of specialized foods for the prevention of carbohydrate metabolism disorders are advisable.

The aim of the current study was to characterize the anthocyanin content and composition of a purple potato landrace cultivar (Solanum tuberosum 'Synkeä Sakari') and to compare the postprandial effects of purple-fleshed potatoes, yellow-fleshed potatoes and bilberries in potato starch on postprandial glycemia and insulinemia in healthy males. The purple potato meal caused smaller insulinemia than the yellow potato meal (iAUC 120 min 1347 and 2226, respectively, p = 0.012 and iAUC 240 min 1448 and 2403, p = 0.007) or the bilberry meal (iAUC 120 min 1920, p = 0.027). The purple potato meal caused a smaller plasma glucose at 40 min postprandially compared with the yellow potato meal (p = 0.044). The results of this study suggest that anthocyanin-containing purple-fleshed potatoes influence the postprandial insulinemia positively. Since potatoes are the world's largest non-grain commodity, replacing yellow-fleshed potatoes with purple-fleshed potatoes as staple food could have large potential in maintaining public health.

This review analyses the potential beneficial effects of procyanidins, the main class of flavonoids, in situations in which glucose homeostasis is disrupted. Because the disruption of glucose homeostasis can occur as a result of various causes, we critically review the effects of procyanidins based on the specific origin of each type of disruption. Where little or no insulin is present (Type I diabetic animals), summarized studies of procyanidin treatment suggest that procyanidins have a short-lived insulin-mimetic effect on the internal targets of the organism, an effect not reproduced in normoglycemic, normoinsulinemic healthy animals. Insulin resistance (usually linked to hyperinsulinemia) poses a very different situation. Preventive studies using fructose-fed models indicate that procyanidins may be useful in preventing the induction of damage and thus in limiting hyperglycemia. But the results of other studies using models such as high-fat diet treated rats or genetically obese animals are controversial. Although the effects on glucose parameters are hazy, it is known that procyanidins target key tissues involved in its homeostasis. Interestingly, all available data suggest that procyanidins are more effective when administered in one acute load than when mixed with food.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Low-grade inflammation and endothelial dysfunction may play a role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We evaluated whether a diet high in fatty fish, bilberries and wholegrain products (Healthy Diet) improves biomarkers reflecting inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in individuals with impaired glucose metabolism. METHODS: We recruited individuals with impaired glucose metabolism and features of the metabolic syndrome into a 12 week, parallel design, dietary intervention trial conducted at the Department of Clinical Nutrition, University of Eastern Finland (Kuopio, Finland). Randomisation was performed by matching according to sex and medians of age, BMI and fasting plasma glucose of the study population at screening. The primary endpoint in the present study was the change in plasma inflammatory markers and the measurements were performed blinded to group assignment. High-sensitivity (hs) C-reactive protein (CRP) and E-selectin responses were also analysed separately in participants not using statins (n = 76). RESULTS: Altogether, 131 individuals were assigned to either the Healthy Diet (n = 44), a whole-grain-enriched diet (WGED) (n = 42) or a control (n = 45) diet, and 104 participants (mean ± SD: age 59 ± 7 years; BMI 31.1 ± 3.5 kg/m(2)) who had completed the study, were analysed (Healthy Diet n = 36, WGED n = 34 and control diet n = 34). Plasma E-selectin decreased only in the Healthy Diet group. This occurred in all group participants (p < 0.05) and also after excluding participants using statins (p < 0.05). Plasma hsCRP levels decreased in the Healthy Diet (median -17%, p < 0.05) and WGED (median -27%, p < 0.01) groups in participants not using statins. Controlling for confounding factors, including BMI or insulin sensitivity, did not alter the results. A greater increase in plasma concentration of very-long-chain n-3 fatty acids and in the intake of fibre during the study was associated with a greater decrease in plasma E-selectin (p < 0.05). The intake of test breads consumed during the Healthy Diet and WGED interventions was inversely associated with the change in hsCRP levels (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Our results suggest that the combined effect of fatty fish, bilberries and wholegrain products may improve endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in overweight and obese individuals at high risk of developing diabetes.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of different nutrition therapies on abnormal glucose metabolism during pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes. METHODS: The 83 cases of pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism who came to nutrition clinic were randomly divided into two groups before 30 weeks pregnancy: 42 cases in traditional food exchange serving group (FES) and 41 cases in food exchange serving based on glycemic load group (FES + GL). Traditional food exchange serving and food exchange serving based on glycemic load were used as the different nutrition therapies for two groups respectively until the time of delivery. The influence of two nutrition therapies on the blood glucose and pregnancy outcomes were observed. RESULTS: The daily food glucose load (GL) after nutrition therapy in the FES + GL group (145.9 ± 26.3) were significantly decreased than that of the FES group (179.9 ± 28.9, t = 5.602, P < 0.01). Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2 h postprandial glucose (2 h PG) ((4.63 ± 0.97) and (6.15 ± 1.07) mmol/L, respectively) after nutrition therapy in the FES + GL group were significantly lower than that in pre-nutrition therapy ((4.96 ± 0.81) and (9.13 ± 1.61) mmol/L, t = 2.237, 11.202, respectively, all P values < 0.05). The 2 h PG in the FES + GL group ((6.15 ± 1.07) mmol/L) after nutrition therapy was significantly lower than that of the FES group ((6.86 ± 1.26) mmol/L, t = 2.760, P < 0.05). 19.51% (8/41) of the total incidence of complications in the FES + GL group was lower than that (11/42, 26.19%) in the FES group, but the difference was not significant (χ² = 0.524, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: FES based on GL was much easier to reduce blood glucose compared with FES. Two nutrition therapies can improve maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism.
