Obesity Status Affects the Relationship Between Protein Intake and Insulin Sensitivity in Late Pregnancy.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine the associations between amount and type of dietary protein intake and insulin sensitivity in late pregnancy, in normal weight and overweight women (29.8 ± 0.2 weeks gestation, n = 173). A 100-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was administered following an overnight fast to estimate the metabolic clearance rate of glucose (MCR, mg · kg-1 · min-1) using four different equations accounting for the availability of blood samples. Total (TP), animal (AP), and plant (PP) protein intakes were assessed using a 3-day food record. Two linear models with MCR as the response variable were fitted to the data to estimate the relationship of protein intake to insulin sensitivity either unadjusted or adjusted for early pregnancy body mass index (BMI) because of the potential of BMI to influence this relationship. There was a positive association between TP (? = 1.37, p = 0.002) and PP (? = 4.44, p < 0.001) intake in the last trimester of pregnancy and insulin sensitivity that weakened when accounting for early pregnancy BMI. However, there was no relationship between AP intake and insulin sensitivity (? = 0.95, p = 0.08). Therefore, early pregnancy BMI may be a better predictor of insulin sensitivity than dietary protein intake in late pregnancy.

Project description:BackgroundThe biological pathways through which vitamin D is involved in the regulation of systemic inflammation remain largely unknown.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the role of vitamin D status on the relationship between lipid profile and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in pregnant women.DesignSerum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), hs-CRP, and indicators of lipid profiles (total cholesterol, TC; triglyceride, TG; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C; low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C), were measured in 2479 pregnant women during the second trimester. Potential confounding including maternal sociodemographic characteristics, perinatal health status, diet, and lifestyle was prospectively collected. Multiple regression models and cubic models were used to evaluate the associations.ResultsThere was a significant non-linear relationship between lipid profile (TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C) and hs-CRP (P < 0.05). Increased serum 25(OH)D was significantly associated with decreasing TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, and hs-CRP levels. Compared with medium levels of lipids group, pregnant women with higher levels of TC or TG have higher levels of hs-CRP, and pregnant women with lower levels of TC, HDL-C or LDL-C also have higher levels of hs-CRP in the vitamin D deficient group, and there was a significant correlation between low levels of TG and decreased hs-CRP (adjusted β for TG: -0.063, 95%CI: - 0.120,-0.007) in the non-vitamin D deficient group. Mediators that had appreciable shares of the associations between 25(OH)D and hs-CRP was TG (10.2% of the association; β = - 0.011; total indirect effect: 95% CI: - 0.019, - 0.002). The cubic model suggested that a steep increase in the adjusted regression coefficient of lipid with hs-CRP up to 50 nmol/L of 25(OH)D, and the highest adjusted regression coefficients were observed in pregnant women with 25(OH)D above 50 nmol/L.ConclusionOur findings suggest that high levels of vitamin D during pregnancy may improve lipid profile levels and inhibit elevated hs-CRP induced by high lipid metabolism.

Project description:ContextYouth with obesity and abnormal glucose tolerance have an increased risk for atherosclerosis but the relative contributions of insulin resistance and hyperglycemia to dyslipidemia and the development of subclinical atherosclerosis are unknown.ObjectiveThis work aims to determine the association between insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and carotid intimal thickness (cIMT) in adolescents with normal and abnormal glucose tolerance.MethodsAn observational cohort study in 155 youth: 44 obese insulin sensitive (OIS; fasting insulin ≤ 20 µM/mL, body mass index [BMI] ≥ 95th percentile), 35 obese insulin resistant (OIR; fasting insulin > 20 µM/mL, BMI ≥ 95th percentile), 34 obese abnormal glucose tolerant (AGT; BMI ≥ 95th percentile), and 42 Lean (BMI 5th-85th percentile). Lipids, lipoprotein particle size and concentration (-P), insulin sensitivity (SI an intravenous glucose test), and CMIT were compared using linear models adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, biological sex, and Tanner stage. Lipid/lipoprotein profile and CMIT were reevaluated in a subset after 2 years.ResultsCompared to OIS and Lean, OIR and AGT had elevated triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) but similar total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Among OIS, OIR, AGT, lower SI was associated with atherogenic lipids (higher triglycerides, LDL-C, non-HDL-C, and lower HDL-C) and lipoproteins (higher total LDL-P and small HDL-P, and lower large HDL-P). There was a steeper decline in the association of SI with HDL-C and large HDL-P in AGT compared with OIR and OIS. cIMT was comparable across groups and inversely correlated with SI, with no change after 2 years.ConclusionAmong youth with obesity, insulin resistance was associated with an atherogenic lipoprotein/lipid profile and cIMT, regardless of glucose tolerance status. Insulin resistance in AGT youth was associated with a shift to smaller HDL-P compared to normoglycemic youth with obesity. Alterations in HDL-P metabolism may be early adverse manifestations of hyperglycemia in youth with obesity.

Project description:Background and objective: The maternal glucose-insulin axis is central for metabolic adaptations required for a healthy pregnancy. Metabolic changes in obese mothers in early pregnancy have been scantly described. Here we characterized the glucose-insulin axis in the first trimester of human pregnancy and assessed the effect of maternal obesity and fat mass. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, maternal blood samples (N = 323) were collected during voluntary pregnancy termination (gestational age 4+0-11+6 weeks) after overnight fasting. Smokers (N = 198) were identified by self-report and serum cotinine levels (ELISA). Maternal BMI (kg/m2) and serum leptin (ELISA) were used as proxy measures of obesity and maternal fat mass, respectively. BMI was categorized into under-/normal weight (BMI < 25.0 kg/m2), overweight (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m2), and leptin in tertiles (1st tertile: leptin < 6.80 ng/ml, 2nd tertile: leptin 6.80-12.89 ng/ml, 3rd tertile: leptin > 12.89 ng/ml). ISHOMA insulin sensitivity index was calculated from glucose and C-peptide (ELISA) serum concentrations. Analyses of covariance including multiple confounders were performed to test for differences in glucose, C-peptide and ISHOMA between gestational age periods, BMI and leptin groups. C-peptide and ISHOMA were log-transformed before analyses. Results: At weeks 7-9, fasting glucose and C-peptide levels were lower (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively) and insulin sensitivity higher (P < 0.001) than at weeks 4-6. Glucose levels were not significantly different between BMI or leptin categories. In contrast, C-peptide increased by 19% (P < 0.01) between the normal weight and the overweight group and by 39% (P < 0.001) between the overweight and obese group. In the leptin groups, C-peptide increased by 25% (P < 0.001) between the 1st and 2nd leptin tertile and by 15% (P < 0.05) between the 2nd and 3rd leptin tertile. ISHOMA decreased with higher BMI and fat mass. ISHOMA decreased by 18% (P < 0.01) between the normal weight and the overweight group and by 30% (P < 0.01) between the overweight and the obese group. In the leptin groups, ISHOMA decreased by 22% (P < 0.001) between the 1st and 2nd leptin tertile and by 14% (P < 0.05) between the 2nd and 3rd leptin tertile. Conclusions: At the group level, fasting glucose, C-peptide and insulin sensitivity dynamically change in the first trimester of human pregnancy. Maternal obesity is associated with higher C-peptide and lower insulin sensitivity at all periods in the first trimester of human pregnancy, while glucose is unaltered. These findings have implications for the timing of early gestational diabetes mellitus risk screening.
