Vitamin D and calcium-sensing receptor polymorphisms differentially associate with resting energy expenditure in peripubertal children.

ABSTRACT: Given that calcium metabolism is influenced by genes and is tightly linked to energy-utilizing pathways, this study evaluated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) with resting energy expenditure (REE). In 273 boys and girls, 7-12 years of age, cross-sectional REE was measured via indirect calorimetry, body composition by DXA, and dietary measures by 24-h recall. SNPs for VDR Cdx-2 (rs11568820) and CASR A986S (rs1801725) were genotyped using the Illumina Golden Gate assay. Multiple linear regression models were used to determine the association between SNPs and REE. African American carriers of the 'A' VDR Cdx2 allele had increased levels of REE in the overall sample, and this association was apparent among participants with an adiposity level of <25 % and 30 % body fat in males and females, respectively. For CASR, an association between carriers of the 'A' allele and REE was observed only in those in the upper median of calcium intake. VDR and CASR variants are associated with REE in children and are influenced by levels of calcium intake and adiposity. Our results bring awareness to mechanisms underlying the regulation of REE and biological and dietary influential factors.

Project description:BACKGROUND:There are significant variations in gestational weight gain, with many women gaining in excess of the Institute of Medicine guidelines. Unfortunately, efforts to improve appropriate gestational weight gain have had only limited success. To date, interventions have focused primarily on decreasing energy intake and/or increasing physical activity. Maternal resting energy expenditure, which comprises ?60% of total energy expenditure compared with the ?20% that comes from physical activity, may be an important consideration in understanding variations in gestational weight gain. OBJECTIVE:Our objective was to quantify the changes in resting energy expenditure during pregnancy and their relationship to gestational weight gain and body composition changes among healthy women. We hypothesized that greater gestational weight gain, and fat mass accrual in particular, are inversely related to variations in resting energy expenditure. STUDY DESIGN:We conducted a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort studied before conception and late pregnancy (34-36 weeks). Body composition (estimated using hydrodensitometry) and resting energy expenditure (estimated using indirect calorimetry) were measured. The relationship between the changes in resting energy expenditure and gestational weight gain and the change in fat mass and fat-free mass were quantified. Resting energy expenditure was expressed as kilocalories per kilogram of fat-free mass per day (kilocalories per kilogram of fat-free mass-1/day-1) and kilocalories per day. Correlations are reported as r. RESULTS:Among 51 women, preconception body mass index was 23.0 (4.7) kg/m2; gestational weight gain was 12.8 (4.7) kg. Preconception and late pregnancy resting energy expenditure (kilocalories per day) correlated positively with the change in fat-free mass (r = 0.37, P = .008; r = 0.51, P = .001). Late-pregnancy resting energy expenditure (kilocalories per kilogram of fat-free mass-1/day-1) was inversely associated with the change in fat mass (r = -0.34, P = .02) and gestational weight gain (r = -0.29, P = .04). From before pregnancy through late gestation, the increase in resting energy expenditure (kilocalories per day) correlated positively with the change in fat-free mass (r = 0.44, P = .002) and negatively with the change in fat mass (r = -0.27, P = .06). CONCLUSION:The change in resting energy expenditure from before conception through late gestation correlated positively with changes in fat-free mass but negatively with fat mass accrual. Women with smaller increases in resting energy expenditure across pregnancy had greater gestational weight gain, specifically more adipose tissue. These data suggest that resting energy expenditure is an important factor in gestational weight gain, particularly excess fat mass accrual. Future lifestyle intervention studies need to consider clinically feasible means of estimating resting energy expenditure and, in response, tailor nutrient intake and composition recommendations. Implementing and testing such interventions would be a novel approach to improve compliance with gestational weight gain guidelines.
