A low meal frequency improves 24h metabolic and gene expression profiles in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (muscle)

ABSTRACT: Meal frequency regulates postprandial glucose and insulin responses, which may affect substrate partitioning and thus weight control. This study investigated the effects of meal frequency on the metabolic and transcriptomic profiles in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Eleven IGT (2h glucose; 9.0±0.3mmol/L) men stayed 2x 36 hours in a respiration chamber to measure substrate partitioning. All subjects randomly received two isoenergetic diets with a low meal frequency (3x-LFr) or a high meal frequency (14x-HFr) consisting of 15 En% prot, 30 En% fat, and 55 En% carb. Total glucose output (AUC), carbohydrate oxidation and whole body RQ significantly decreased, and FFA levels increased in the LFr diet. The HFr diet resulted in an up-regulation in expression of genes involved in immune function and inflammation after 24h in PBMCs and muscle tissue. Expression of genes involved in PPAR signalling, OXPHOS, and glutathione metabolism were up-regulated in the HFr diet in muscle tissue only. In conclusion, the LFr diet improved the metabolic and transcriptomic profiles, and appetite control compared to the HFr diet. This suggests that a LFr diet might be an effective dietary strategy with anti-inflammatory characteristics to increase metabolic flexibility and body weight control in IGT subjects.

Project description:Physical inactivity and western diet are the main factors leading to skeletal muscle (and whole-body) insulin resistance – a defect in insulin-mediated glucose uptake and metabolism – and associated metabolic diseases, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). The study of the response to a mixed meal (normalized for body mass and/or basal metabolic rate) is of particular interest, as it simulates the physiological response to a typical (daily) single meal that depends on both the secretory function of the beta cells (insulin response) and the sensitivity of skeletal muscle signaling to insulin – variables, which markedly changing during development of insulin resistance and T2D. We aimed to compare the early transcriptomic response to a mixed meal normalized to body mass in skeletal muscle of healthy subjects and obese patients without (Ob) and with T2D (Ob+T2D). To investigate the early transcriptomic response we took biopsy samples from the vastus lateralis muscle prior to and 1 h after a meal. In the Ob+T2D group the average level and increase in C-peptide and insulin in the blood were comparable with healthy subjects that, apparently, is explained by dysfunction of the beta-cells induced by chronic T2D. At the same time, the Ob+T2D group demonstrated dysregulation of mixed meal-induced gene expression in skeletal muscle: morу than two times lower number of DEGs and a small overlapping with the gene response in the control group. On the contrary, the postprandial level of C-peptide and insulin in the Ob group was significantly greater than in healthy control that is related to insulin oversecretion associated with insulin resistance. Despite this, the gene response in skeletal muscle was also significantly dysregulated; moreover, it differed from the response in the Ob+T2D group. It means that defect in regulation of insulin-induced gene expression (insulin resistance in terms of gene expression) appears at the first stage of the development of metabolic disorders.
