Insulin levels and HOMA index are associated with exercise capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Previous studies on type 2 diabetes have shown an association between exercise capacity and insulin resistance. In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) exercise capacity is often reduced due to exercise-induced ischemia. We have investigated the association between glucometabolic control, including the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) of insulin resistance, and exercise capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes and CAD with and without exercise-induced ischemia. METHODS:In 137 patients (age 63.1?±?7.9) cardiopulmonary exercise testing on treadmill was performed using a modified Balke protocol. The highest oxygen uptake (VO2peak) was reported as 30-s average. Fasting blood samples were drawn for determination of glucose, insulin and HbA1c. Insulin resistance (IR) was assessed by the HOMA2-IR computer model. Exercise-induced ischemia was defined as angina and/ or ST-depression in ECG???0.1 mV during the exercise test. RESULTS:HOMA2-IR was inversely correlated to VO2peak (r?=?-0.328, p?

Project description:Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is responsible for high incidence of cardiovascular (CV) complications leading to heart failure. Coronary artery region-specific metabolic and structural assessment could provide deeper insight into the extent of the disease and help prevent adverse cardiac events. Therefore, in this study, we aimed at investigating such myocardial dynamics for the first time in insulin-sensitive (mIS) and insulin-resistant (mIR) T2D patients. We targeted global and region-specific variations using insulin sensitivity (IS) and coronary artery calcifications (CACs) as CV risk factor in T2D patients. IS was computed using myocardial segmentation approaches at both baseline and after an hyperglycemic-insulinemic clamp (HEC) on [18F]FDG-PET images using the standardized uptake value (SUV) (ΔSUV = SUVHEC - SUVBASELINE) and calcifications using CT Calcium Scoring. Results suggest that some communicating pathways between response to insulin and calcification are present in the myocardium, whilst differences between coronary arteries were only observed in the mIS cohort. Risk indicators were mostly observed for mIR and highly calcified subjects, which supports previously stated findings that exhibit a distinguished exposure depending on the impairment of response to insulin, while projecting added potential complications due to arterial obstruction. Moreover, a pattern relating calcification and T2D phenotypes was observed suggesting the avoidance of insulin treatment in mIS but its endorsement in mIR subjects. The right coronary artery displayed more ΔSUV, whilst plaque was more present in the circumflex. However, differences between phenotypes, and therefore CV risk, were associated to left descending artery (LAD) translating into higher CACs regarding IR, which could explain why insulin treatment was effective for LAD at the expense of higher likelihood of plaque accumulation. Personalized approaches to assess T2D may lead to more efficient treatments and risk-prevention strategies.

Project description:IntroductionAdipokines, expressed by adipose tissue (AT), have been associated with metabolic disturbances and coronary artery disease (CAD). The impact of exercise training on the AT in patients suffering from both diabetes and CAD is unknown. To gain knowledge on changes in ATs' inflammatory profile in such a population, we investigated the effects of long-term exercise on selected adipokines and their associations with physical performance and glucometabolic variables. Adiponectin was selected based on its anti-atherogenic and anti-diabetic properties and visfatin and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) for their association with atherosclerosis and metabolic disorders. Not many studies have focused on the effects of long-term exercise training on adipokines in patients with concomitant T2DM and CAD.MethodsPatients with type 2 diabetes and CAD (n = 137), 41-81 years, 17.2% females, were randomized in a 1:1 manner to an exercise group, who underwent 1 year of 150 min weekly combined strength and endurance exercise, or a control group. AT from the gluteal region and blood samples were obtained at baseline and after 12 months, along with a physical performance test, assessed by the VO2 peak. Circulating protein levels were measured by ELISA. RNA was extracted from AT and expression levels were relatively quantified by PCR.ResultsAfter 1 year, no significant difference in the change in the investigated markers between the intervention group and the control group was observed. Changes in circulating adiponectin and VO2 peak correlated in the total population (r = 0.256, p = 0.008). At baseline, circulating adiponectin and TNF correlated inversely with insulin and with C-peptide and VO2peak, respectively (p < 0.001, all).ConclusionIn this population with concomitant diabetes and CAD, ATs' inflammatory profile remained unchanged apparently after 1 year of exercise intervention. Changes in the VO2peak were nevertheless, related to changes in circulating adiponectin levels.Trial registrationhttp://www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT01232608.
