Role of Purified Anthocyanins in Improving Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Chinese Men and Women with Prediabetes or Early Untreated Diabetes-A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Objective: In vitro and animal studies suggest that purified anthocyanins have favorable effects on metabolic profiles, but clinical trials have reported inconsistent findings. Furthermore, no study has been specifically conducted among individuals with prediabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether purified anthocyanins could improve cardiometabolic risk factors in Chinese adults with early untreated hyperglycemia. Research Design and Methods: This was a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. A total of 160 participants aged 40-75 years with prediabetes or early untreated diabetes were randomly allocated to receive either purified anthocyanins (320 mg/day, n = 80) or placebo (n = 80) of identical appearance. A three-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed, and cardiometabolic biomarkers (glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting and postprandial glucose, insulin, C-peptide, and lipids) were measured at baseline and at the end of the trial. Results: A total of 138 subjects completed the protocol. Compared with placebo, purified anthocyanins moderately reduced HbA1c (-0.14%, 95% CI: -0.23~-0.04%; p = 0.005), low-density lipoprotein-c (LDL-c) (-0.2 mmol/L, 95% CI: -0.38~-0.01, p = 0.04), apolipoprotein A-1 (apo A1) (0.09 g/L, 95% CI: 0.02~0.17; p = 0.02), and apolipoprotein B (apo B) (-0.07 g/L, 95% CI: -0.13~-0.01; p = 0.01) according to intention-to-treat analysis. Subgroup analyses suggested that purified anthocyanins were more effective at improving glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, and lipids among patients with elevated metabolic markers. Conclusions: The 12-week randomized controlled trials (RCT) in Chinese adults with prediabetes or early untreated diabetes indicated that purified anthocyanins favorably affected glycemic control and lipid profile. Future studies of a longer duration that explore the dose-response relationship among patients with cardiometabolic disorders are needed to confirm our findings.

Project description:Genomic expression profiles of blood and placenta reveal significant immune-related pathways and categories in Chinese women with Gestational Diabetes Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a complex metabolic disease which occurs in pregnancy with high prevalence, and its pathogenesis remains elusive. Thus far, there has been no comprehensive gene expression profiling in Chinese women with GDM. In this study, we attempt to define the genes and/or pathways that are involved in GDM with Chinese ethnicity, by the Illumina microarray technique. We found 5,197 and 243 genes with significantly altered expression due to GDM in blood and placenta tissues, respectively. Previously known genes (such as TNF, IL1B, LEP, IFNG, and HLA-G) with altered gene expression in GDM were also validated here. In addition, we identified undescribed genes VAV3, PTPN6, CD48 and IL15, in which expression was related to GDM by microarray and Q-RT-PCR assays. To identify GDM-associated pathways, we used analyses with integrated functional annotation (i.e. KEGG) and extracted two significant pathways, which were Natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity (hsa04650; FDR = 7.10E-09) in blood and Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction (hsa04060; FDR = 1.07E-03) in placenta tissues. Immune system process (GO: 0002376) was identified by GO analysis with FDR P-value = 7.01E-60 in blood and FDR P-value = 3.57E-08 in placenta tissues, indicating the importance of immunological and inflammatory categories in GDM. Furthermore, despite differences in the quantity of gene expression, we observed a similar functional distribution between expression of blood and placenta tissues in GDM under the categories of immunity. These newly identified key genes and pathways may provide valuable information for the pathogenesis of GDM and advance disease diagnosis, prevention, medication design, and clinical treatment of the disease. One individual GDM blood tissue sample and one pooled GDM blood tissue sample were compared to one pooled healthy blood tissue sample. One pooled GDM placenta tissue sample was compared to one pooled healthy placenta tissue sample.
