背景:数据表明线粒体功能失调会减少氧化和三磷酸腺苷(ATP)的产生,破坏胰岛素信号.细胞色素c(CC),酰基肉碱(AC)和柠檬酸合成酶(CS)是线粒体机制的重要组成部分,可用作线粒体功能障碍的可靠生物标志物。本研究旨在确定线粒体生物标志物(AC,CS和CC)在2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者中发生了变化,并检查了这些生物标志物与胰岛素抵抗之间的关联。
方法:进行了一项横断面观察性研究,招募了170名参与者(88名T2DM患者和82名非DM患者)。从新兵中收集血液样本,并分析其空腹血糖(FBG)水平。AC,CS,CC,胰岛素,总胆固醇,甘油三酯(TG),糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)和镁。还测量了参与者的血压(BP)和人体测量特征。使用适当的配方来确定身体脂肪百分比,体重指数(BMI),腰臀比(WHR),胰岛素抵抗(HOMA-IR)和胰岛素敏感性(HOMA-β)的稳态模型评估。
结果:T2DM患者的CC水平较高,%身体脂肪,FBG,TG,HbA1c,BMI和HOMA-IR分别高于对照组(p<0.05)。结果显示循环CC水平与HOMA-β之间存在显着关系(r=-0.40,p=0.001),T2DM患者的CS(r=-0.70,p=0.001)和AC(r=-0.72,p=0.001)水平。2型糖尿病患者VLDL的校正几率增加(OR=6.66,p=0.002),HbA1c(OR=6.50,p=0.001),FPG(OR=3.17,p=0.001),TG(OR=2.36,p=0.010),为女性(OR=2.09,p=0.020)和CC(OR=1.14,p=0.016)。
结论:总体而言,线粒体生物标志物的改变,用交流测量,CC和CS,在T2DM患者中观察到,并显示与胰岛素抵抗有直接关系。这些发现在非洲具有潜在的意义,尽管需要从更大的队列中进行额外的确认。
BACKGROUND: Data suggest malfunctioning mitochondria reduce oxidation and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, disrupting insulin signalling. Cytochrome c (CC), acylcarnitine (AC) and citrate synthase (CS) are essential components of the mitochondria machinery and can be used as reliable biomarkers of mitochondrial dysfunction. This study aimed to determine whether mitochondrial biomarkers (AC, CS and CC) are altered in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to examine the association between these biomarkers and insulin resistance.
METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study that recruited 170 participants (88 with T2DM and 82 without DM) was conducted. Blood samples were collected from the recruits and analysed for levels of fasting glucose (FBG), AC, CS, CC, insulin, total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and magnesium. Blood pressure (BP) and anthropometric characteristics of participants were also taken. Appropriate formulas were used to determine %body fat, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity (HOMA-β).
RESULTS: Patients with T2DM had higher levels of CC, %body fat, FBG, TG, HbA1c, BMI and HOMA-IR than controls (p < 0.05, respectively). Results showed a significant relationship between circulating CC levels versus HOMA-β (r = -0.40, p = 0.001), CS (r = -0.70, p = 0.001) and AC (r = -0.72, p = 0.001) levels in patients with T2DM. The adjusted odds increased in the T2DM patients for VLDL (OR = 6.66, p = 0.002), HbA1c (OR = 6.50, p = 0.001), FPG (OR = 3.17, p = 0.001), TG (OR = 2.36, p = 0.010), being female (OR = 2.09, p = 0.020) and CC (OR = 1.14, p = 0.016).
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, alterations in mitochondrial biomarkers, measured by AC, CC and CS, were observed in people with T2DM and showed a direct relationship with insulin resistance. These findings are potentially significant in Africa, although additional confirmation from a larger cohort is necessary.
