RESUMO
AIM: We examined whether metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) with or without significant fibrosis (assessed by validated non-invasive biomarkers) was associated with an increased risk of prevalent chronic kidney disease (CKD) or diabetic retinopathy in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS: We performed a retrospective multicenter cross-sectional study involving 1,409 adult outpatients with T1DM, in whom hepatic steatosis index (HSI) and fibrosis (FIB)-4 index were calculated for non-invasively detecting hepatic steatosis (defined by HSI > 36), with or without coexisting significant fibrosis (FIB-4 index ≥ 1.3 or < 1.3). CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or urine albumin/creatinine ratio ≥ 3.0 mg/mmol. The presence of diabetic retinopathy was also recorded in all participants. RESULTS: Patients with MASLD and significant fibrosis (n = 93) had a remarkably higher prevalence of CKD and diabetic retinopathy than their counterparts with MASLD without fibrosis (n = 578) and those without steatosis (n = 738). After adjustment for sex, diabetes duration, hemoglobin A1c, hypertension, and use of antihypertensive or lipid-lowering medications, patients with SLD and significant fibrosis had a higher risk of prevalent CKD (adjusted-odds ratio 1.76, 95 % confidence interval 1.05-2.96) than those without steatosis. Patients with MASLD without fibrosis had a higher risk of prevalent retinopathy (adjusted-odds ratio 1.49, 95 % CI 1.13-1.46) than those without steatosis. CONCLUSION: This is the largest cross-sectional study showing that MASLD with and without coexisting significant fibrosis was associated, independently of potential confounders, with an increased risk of prevalent CKD and retinopathy in adults with T1DM.

AIM: We examined whether different insulin administration modalities, i.e., multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII by insulin pumps), are differently associated with the risk of having metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), with or without coexisting significant liver fibrosis (assessed by validated non-invasive biomarkers), in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study involving 1,417 adult individuals with established T1DM treated with MDI or CSII. We calculated hepatic steatosis index (HSI) and fibrosis (FIB)-4 index for non-invasively detecting MAFLD (defined by HSI >36), with or without coexisting significant fibrosis (defined by FIB-4 index ≥ 1.3 or <1.3, respectively). RESULTS: Compared to the MDI group (n = 1,161), insulin-pump users (n = 256; 18.1%) were more likely to be younger (mean age: 40 vs. 48 years, P < 0.001), had better glycemic control (mean hemoglobin A1c: 7.7% vs. 7.9%, P = 0.025) and a markedly lower prevalence of MAFLD with coexisting significant fibrosis (2.7% vs. 8.1%, P = 0.010), but a comparable prevalence of MAFLD without fibrosis. In multinomial logistic regression analysis, CSII therapy was associated with a â¼70%-lower risk of MAFLD with significant fibrosis (unadjusted odds ratio 0.32, 95% confidence interval 0.14-0.70; P = 0.004), but this association was no longer significant after adjustment for age, hemoglobin A1c and other potential confounders. CONCLUSION: The lower prevalence of MAFLD with coexisting significant fibrosis we observed in adults with T1DM using CSII therapy, compared to those using MDI therapy, is primarily mediated by inter-group differences in age.

BACKGROUND: We assessed whether hepatic steatosis with or without significant fibrosis (determined by validated non-invasive biomarkers) is associated with an increased 10-year estimated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study involving 1,254 adults with established T1DM without pre-existing CVD. We used the hepatic steatosis index (HSI) and fibrosis (FIB)-4 index for non-invasively detecting hepatic steatosis (defined as HSI > 36), with or without coexisting significant fibrosis (defined as FIB-4 index ≥ 1.3 or < 1.3). We calculated the Steno type 1 risk engine and the atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) risk score to estimate the 10-year risk of developing a first fatal or nonfatal CVD event. RESULTS: Using the Steno type 1 risk engine, a significantly greater proportion of patients with hepatic steatosis and significant fibrosis (n = 91) had a high 10-year estimated CVD risk compared to those with hepatic steatosis alone (n = 509) or without steatosis (n = 654) (75.8% vs. 23.2% vs. 24.9%, p < 0.001). After adjustment for sex, BMI, diabetes duration, hemoglobin A1c, chronic kidney disease, and lipid-lowering medication use, patients with hepatic steatosis and significant fibrosis had an increased 10-year estimated risk of developing a first fatal or nonfatal CVD event (adjusted-odds ratio 11.4, 95% confidence interval 3.54-36.9) than those without steatosis. We observed almost identical results using the ASCVD risk calculator. CONCLUSIONS: The 10-year estimated CVD risk is remarkably greater in T1DM adults with hepatic steatosis and significant fibrosis than in their counterparts with hepatic steatosis alone or without steatosis.

BACKGROUND: Structure and protein-starch interactions in pasta products can be responsible for lower postprandial glycemic responses compared with other cereal foods. OBJECTIVES: We tested the effect on postprandial glucose metabolism induced by 2 pasta products, couscous, and bread, through their structural changes during mastication and simulated gastric digestion. METHODS: Two randomized controlled trials (n = 30/trial) in healthy, normal-weight adults (mean BMI of 23.9 kg/m2 (study 1) and 23.0 kg/m2 (study 2)) evaluated postprandial glucose metabolism modulation to portions of durum wheat semolina spaghetti, penne, couscous, and bread each containing 50 g available carbohydrate. A mastication trial involving 26 normal-weight adults was conducted to investigate mastication processes and changes in particle size distribution and microstructure (light microscopy) of boluses after mastication and in vitro gastric digestion. RESULTS: Both pasta products resulted in lower areas under the 2-h curve for blood glucose (-40% for spaghetti and -22% for penne compared with couscous; -41% for spaghetti and -30% for penne compared with bread), compared with the other grain products (P < 0.05). Pasta products required more chews (spaghetti: 34 ± 18; penne: 38 ± 20; bread: 27 ± 13; couscous: 24 ± 17) and longer oral processing (spaghetti: 21 ± 13 s; penne: 23 ± 14 s; bread: 18 ± 9 s; couscous: 14 ± 10 s) compared with bread or couscous (P < 0.01). Pastas contained more large particles (46-67% of total particle area) compared with bread (0-30%) and couscous (1%) after mastication and in vitro gastric digestion. After in vitro gastric digestion, pasta samples still contained large areas of nonhydrolyzed starch embedded within the protein network; the protein in bread and couscous was almost entirely digested, and the starch was hydrolyzed. CONCLUSIONS: Preservation of the pasta structure during mastication and gastric digestion explains slower starch hydrolysis and, consequently, lower postprandial glycemia compared with bread or couscous prepared from the same durum wheat semolina flour in healthy adults. The postprandial in vivo trials were registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03098017 and NCT03104686.

BACKGROUND: Coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases in a dose-dependent manner. Chronic intake results in the transient appearance of bioactive phenolic metabolites in the circulatory system. However, there is a lack of information on the impact of different patterns of coffee consumption on plasma and urinary profiles of phenolic metabolites. OBJECTIVES: Plasma and urinary phenolic metabolites were investigated following regular consumption of different daily dosages of coffee or cocoa-based products containing coffee (CBPCC) under a real-life setting. METHODS: A repeated-dose, randomized, crossover human intervention was conducted with 21 healthy volunteers. For 1 mo, participants consumed 1) 1 cup of coffee (1C), 2) 3 cups of coffee (3C), or 3) 1 cup of coffee + 2 CBPCC twice daily (PC). Plasma and urine samples were collected over a 24-h period after each treatment. The nutrikinetics and urinary excretion of native, human phase II, and colonic metabolites were assessed. RESULTS: A total of 51 (poly)phenolic metabolites were quantified, with 41 metabolites being strictly related to coffee consumption. Significant differences were observed among treatments for most of the metabolites. The metabolites present in the highest amounts were the hydroxycinnamate, phenylpropanoic acid, benzaldehyde, and benzene classes, along with (-)-epicatechin and phenyl-γ-valerolactone derivatives after PC treatment. Daily average concentrations did not exceed 200 nmol/L and were <100 nmol/L for most of the metabolites. The excretion of coffee phenolics ranged from 40% to 70% of intake, indicating that coffee hydroxycinnamates are notably more bioavailable than previously thought. Interindividual variability was also investigated. CONCLUSIONS: The absorption, metabolism, nutrikinetic profile, and bioavailability of coffee phenolics were established for different patterns of coffee consumption under real-life conditions. This work provides the basis for further nutritional epidemiology research and mode-of-action cell-based studies. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03166540.

A broad spectrum of concomitant disorders may complicate heart failure adding further morbidity and mortality risk. Comorbidities may be subdivided into cardiovascular and noncardiovascular. The first group includes hypertension, coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, arrhythmias and valvular heart disease. Noncardiovascular comorbidities include respiratory, endocrine, metabolic, nutritional, renal, hematopoietic, neurological as well as musculoskeletal conditions. In recent years, advances in the treatment of heart failure have not been attended by important changes in management of its comorbidities. They now seem to be major causes of the poor prognosis of heart failure patients. In this review we provide an updated summary of the epidemiological, pathophysiological and clinical characteristics of comorbidities as well as their potential impact for heart failure treatment.
