Relation between the insulin lowering rate and changes in bone mineral density: Analysis among subtypes of type 1 diabetes mellitus. J Diabetes Investig 2022; 13:1585-1595. [PMID: 35470583 PMCID: PMC9434576 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.13817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Revised: 04/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is reduced due to impaired insulin secretion. However, it is unclear whether the rate of BMD reduction is affected by T1DM subtypes. This study aimed to clarify the difference in BMD across T1DM subtypes: slowly progressive (SP), acute-onset (AO), and fulminant (F). METHODS This was a retrospective, single-center, cross-sectional study conducted on 98 adult T1DM patients. The main outcome included the BMD Z-score (BMD-Z) measured at the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN). RESULTS The LS BMD-Z was lower in the AO than in the SP (p =0.03). No differences were observed when compared to the F. The FN BMD-Z tended to be higher in the SP than in the AO and F. Multiple regression analyses showed that the LS BMD-Z was associated with subtypes (AO vs. SP) (p =0.01), but not subtypes (F vs. SP), adjusted for sex, duration, retinopathy, and C-peptide immunoreactivity (CPR). When patients were divided into disease duration tertiles, in the first and second tertiles, the CPR levels were lower in the AO or F than in the SP. In contrast, LS and FN BMD-Z differed between the AO and SP only in the second tertiles (both p <0.01), with a similar tendency between the F and SP. CONCLUSIONS Among T1DM subtypes, BMD has time-dependent changes, which reveals that BMD decline follows impaired insulin secretion. These results provide novel insights into the association between the low insulin exposure duration and BMD.

Abstract
3-Methylhistidine (3MH) is an indicator of muscle catabolism. Subclinical protein malnutrition is an independent predictor of aortic stiffness (AS). We aimed to study the relationship between serum 3MH level and AS among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity was applied to measure AS of 110 MHD patients. Serum 3MH levels were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. AS was defined as cfPWV >10 m/s. Forty-five (40.9%) patients were categorized as having AS. Multivariable logistic (odds ratio: 0.792, p < 0.001) and linear (β = -0.322, p < 0.001) regression analysis revealed that serum 3MH is an independent factor associated with AS among MHD patients. The diagnostic power of 3MH for AS in patients undergoing MHD was 0.691 (95% CI: 0.595-0.775, p = 0.0002). Low serum 3MH levels could be a potential biomarker related to AS among MHD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of indoxyl sulfate (IS), an important protein-bound uremic toxin, in arterial stiffness (AS) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated the association between serum IS levels and AS in a cross-sectional study of 155 patients with CKD. Patients in the AS group was defined as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) value >10 m/s measured by a validated tonometry system (SphygmoCor), while values ≤10 m/s were regarded as without AS group Serum IS was measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. RESULTS Of these CKD patients, AS was present in 51 (32.9%) patients, who were older, had a higher rate of diabetes, higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), and higher IS levels compared to those without AS. By multivariable logistic regression analysis, IS (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.436, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.085-1.901, p = 0.011), age (aOR 1.058, 95% CI 1.021-1.097, p = 0.002), and SBP (aOR 1.019, 95%CI 1.000-1.038, p = 0.049) were independent predictors of AS. By multivariable stepwise linear regression analysis, logarithmically transformed IS, age, DM, and SBP were significantly correlated with cfPWV. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve for serum log-IS was 0.677 (95%CI 0.598-0.750, p = 0.0001) to predict the development of AS in patients with CKD. CONCLUSION These finding demonstrate that in addition to older and higher SBP, a high serum IS level is a significant biomarker associated with AS in patients with CKD.

Abstract
Vascular calcification (VC) is highly prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). There is growing evidence that there is more underlying this condition than the histological presentation of atherosclerotic plaque and arteriosclerosis and that the risk of cardiovascular disease in the context of CKD might be explained by the presence of VC. While VC has been observed in the absence of overt abnormal mineral metabolism, this association is coupled to abnormal homeostasis of minerals in patients with CKD, due to hyperphosphatemia and hypercalcemia. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that the differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells into an osteogenic phenotype is highly regulated by pro-calcifying and anti-calcifying factors. There are several imaging modalities currently used in clinical practice to evaluate the extent and severity of VC; each has different advantages and limitations. Although there is no universally accepted method for the treatment of VC, there is growing evidence of the beneficial effects of medical therapy for the condition. This study discusses the mechanism underlying VC, imaging modalities used for evaluation of the condition, and possible treatments.

Abstract
Introduction High fructose and salt consumption continues to be prevalent in western society. Existing studies show that a rat model reflecting a diet of fructose and salt consumed by the upper 20th percentile of the human population results in salt-sensitive hypertension mitigated by treatment with an antioxidant. We hypothesized that dietary fructose, rather than glucose, combined with high salt leads to aortic stiffening and decreased renal artery compliance. We also expect that daily supplementation with the antioxidant, 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (+T; Tempol), will ameliorate the increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and vascular changes. Methods Male Sprague Dawley rats were studied with either 20% fructose or 20% glucose in the drinking water and normal salt (0.4%) or high salt (4%) in the chow resulting in four dietary groups: fructose normal Fru+NS or high salt (Fru+HS) or glucose with normal (Glu+NS) or high salt (Glu+HS). Tempol (+T) was added to the drinking water in half of the rats in each group for 3 weeks. Results MAP was significantly elevated and the glucose:insulin ratio was depressed in the Fru+HS. Both parameters were normalized in Fru+HS+T. Plasma renin activity (PRA) and kidney tissue angiotensin II (Ang II) were not suppressed in the high salt groups. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), radial ascending strain, and distensibility coefficient of the ascending aorta were significantly decreased in Fru+HS rats and improved in the Fru+HS+T rats. No differences occurred in left ventricular systolic function, but the ratio of early (E) to late (A) transmitral filling velocities was decreased and renal resistive index (RRI) was higher in Fru+HS rats; antioxidant treatment did not change these indices. Discussion Thus, short-term consumption of high fructose plus high salt diet by rats results in modest hypertension, insulin resistance, diminished aortic and renal artery compliance, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Antioxidant treatment ameliorates the blood pressure, insulin resistance and aortic stiffness, but not renal artery stiffness and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

Association of Low Serum l-Carnitine Levels with Aortic Stiffness in Patients with Non-Dialysis Chronic Kidney Disease. Nutrients 2020; 12:nu12102918.

Abstract
l-carnitine (LC) is a co-factor in fatty acid metabolism; its role with respect to aortic stiffness (AS) associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) was unclear. Our aim was to investigate associations between serum LC levels and AS in patients with non-dialysis CKD stage 3–5. The AS patients were those with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocities (cfPWV) >10 m/s; those with cfPWV ≤10 m/s were included as controls. Serum LC was measured by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Of 136 CKD patients, the 44 (32.4%) with AS were older, exhibited higher rates of diabetes, and had elevated diastolic and systolic blood pressures (SBP), elevated fasting glucose levels and lower levels of serum LC compared to controls. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that serum LC (odds ratio [OR] = 0.949, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.911–0.988, p = 0.011) and age (OR = 1.055, 95% CI 1.013–1.099, p = 0.009) were independent predictors of AS. Multivariable stepwise linear regression revealed significant positive (age and SBP) and negative (serum LC) correlations with cfPWV. The area under the curve of serum LC as a means to predict AS in CKD patients was 0.657 (95% CI 0.571–0.736, p = 0.0009). We concluded that low serum LC is a significant predictor of AS in patients diagnosed with CKD.

Abstract
Apart from the result of multiple diseases as well as aging, arterial stiffness (AS) predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients with CKD have high CVD prevalence, and an extraordinarily high risk for CVD might be related to nontraditional risk factors, including AS. The mechanism of AS development could be attributed to oxidative stress, inflammation, uremic milieu (e.g., uremic toxins), vascular calcification, and cumulative effects of traditional cardiovascular risk factors on arteries such as diabetes mellitus or hypertension. There were a variety of non-invasive techniques to measure AS. One of these techniques is carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity, which is the reference measurement of AS and is related to long-term CVD outcomes. AS progression has corresponding medical treatments with modest beneficial results. This review briefly discusses the risk factors, measurements, and treatments associated with AS.

Abstract
Circulating malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) acts as a marker of oxidative stress and is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The relationship between serum MDA-LDL levels and aortic stiffness (AS) in patients with hemodialysis (HD) was evaluated. There were 155 HD patients enrolled in this study. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) was measured by a validated tonometry system. Patients with cfPWV >10 m/s were used to define the AS group, while those with values of ≤10 m/s were regarded as the control group. Serum MDA-LDL levels were measured using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Sixty-eight patients (43.9%) who were defined as AS sufferers, and were older, had a higher percentage of diabetes and hypertension and higher systolic blood pressure and serum MDA-LDL level compared to subjects in the control group. After adjusting for factors significantly associated with AS by multivariable logistic regression analysis, it was revealed that serum MDA-LDL levels, diabetes, and hypertension were independent predictors of AS in HD patients. Multivariable forward stepwise linear regression analysis also showed that a logarithmically transformed MDA-LDL level was significantly correlated with cfPWV values in HD patients. In HD patients, a high serum MDA-LDL level was positively associated with cfPWV values and was a significant predictor of the development of high AS.

Abstract
Objectives The present study was done to investigate the relationship between carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CFPWV) and biomarkers such as homocysteine (Hcy), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and urine albumin (microalbumin) (UAE) in vascular-related diseases. Methods 656 subjects were enrolled into our study. There were 377 patients with hypertension, 231 with coronary heart disease, 154 with diabetes mellitus, and 186 healthy subjects. They were divided into four groups according to the number of suffered diseases: group 1 had only one of three diseases, group 2 had two, and group 3 had all of three diseases. CFPWV was measured by Complior apparatus. Results CFPWV was significantly higher in group 3 than in the healthy group, group 1, and group 2 (12.71 ± 2.38 vs 10.11 ± 2.28, 10.70 ± 2.12, and 11.92 ± 2.55, all p < 0.05). The level of Hcy was significantly higher in group1, group 2, and group 3 than in healthy subjects, respectively. Levels of Log NT-proBNP and Log UAE were significantly higher in group 3 than in group 1 (2.27 ± 0.4 vs 2.10 ± 0.4, 1.00 ± 0.65 vs 0.68 ± 0.56, both p < 0.05). Positive correlation between CFWV and Hcy, Log UAE, and Log NT-proBNP was found in the entire study group (r = 0.109, 0.196, and 0.119, all p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that pulse pressure, age, fasting plasma glucose, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, and Log UAE were independent associating factors of CFPWV in all subjects (β = 0.334, p < 0.001; β = 0.333, p < 0.001; β = 0.126, p=0.004; β = 0.137, p=0.003; β = −0.142, p=0.002; and β = 0.098, p=0.031). Conclusions CFPWV was significantly higher in subjects with hypertension, CHD, and DM. There was correlation between CFPWV and biomarkers such as NT-proBNP, Hcy, and urine albumin (microalbumin).

Abstract
Background Increased urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in diabetes is a sensitive marker of microvascular injury and a reliable predictor of cardiovascular outcomes. Hypertension-induced hemodynamic pressure load, diabetes-related metabolic processes and large artery stiffening have all been implicated in the development of microalbuminuria. We investigated whether hyperglycemia per se, or rather increased blood pressure (BP) and macrovascular dysfunction, is a stronger predictor of UAE at the earliest stages of diabetes. Methods Consecutive newly diagnosed patients with diabetes type 2, who were normoglycemic within a year’s time prior to diagnosis, were enrolled. UAE was estimated in 24-h urine samples. Both office and 24-h ambulatory BP was recorded. Arterial stiffness was evaluated by measurement of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) with applanation tonometry. Results Among 71 newly diagnosed patients with median diabetes duration of just 1 month, 15.5% presented microalbuminuria. UAE did not differ between hypertensive and normotensive diabetics; however, newly diagnosed patients for both hypertension and diabetes exhibited significantly higher levels of UAE, compared to diabetic patients with long-standing hypertension. UAE strongly and significantly correlated with office systolic BP, HbA1c, PWV and estimated glomerular filtration rate. However, in the multivariate analysis adjusting for these factors, only HbA1c was independently associated with UAE (beta = 0.278, p = 0.049). Conclusions Hyperglycemic state emerges as a powerful predictor of increased UAE even at the earliest stages of diabetes. The relative contribution of hypertension and macrovascular dysfunction to the development of microalbuminuria seems to be obscured by hyperglycemia, even in patients whose diabetes onset does not exceed a few months’ time.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) constitutes a global pandemic, representing the 7th cause of death worldwide. Morbidity and mortality of patients with T2DM are gradually increasing, while prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among these patients is almost 14% greater compared to the general population. Arterial stiffness is nowadays a valuable biomarker of CVD and a promising treatment target in specific patient groups, including those suffering from T2DM. Despite that fact, design of the available studies cannot prove causal relationship. Recently, a new antidiabetic drug class, namely sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, has attracted scientific interest, due to their multiple, beneficial, pleiotropic effects, especially those focused on CVD. There is limited relevant literature concerning the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors on arterial stiffness, while retrieved results might be considered as conflicting. The aim of the present review article is to summarize acquired knowledge regarding the prognostic role of arterial stiffness in T2DM, along with the presentation of retrieved data on the potential role of SGLT-2 inhibitors.

Prognostic significance of the renal resistive index in the primary prevention of type II diabetes. J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich) 2020; 22:223-230. [PMID: 32003935 DOI: 10.1111/jch.13819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2019] [Revised: 11/21/2019] [Accepted: 12/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
The renal resistive index has been demonstrated to predict the progression of renal disease and recurrence of major cardiac events in high-risk cardiovascular patients, in addition to other comorbidities. We aimed to assess the prognostic significance of the renal resistive index in type 2 diabetic patients for primary prevention. From 2008 to 2011, patients with type 2 diabetes underwent cardiovascular evaluation, including renal resistive index assessment by renal Doppler ultrasound. The incidence of all-cause death, cardiovascular events, dialysis requirement or a twofold increase in creatinine was recorded. Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Two hundred sixty-six patients were included; 50% of the patients were men, an HbA1C level of 8.1 ± 1.7% (65 ± 13.6 mmol/mol) and a serum creatinine level of 8 [7-9] mg/L. The mean 24-hour systolic blood pressure, 24-hour diastolic blood pressure, and 24-hour pulse pressure were 133.4 ± 16.7, 76.5 ± 9.4, and 56.9 ± 12.4 mm Hg, respectively. The median renal resistive index was 0.7 [0.6-0.7] with a threshold of 0.7 predictive of monitored events. After adjustment of the 24-hour pulse pressure, age and 24-hour heart rate, a renal resistive index ≥0.70 remained associated with all-cause death (hazard ratio: 3.23 (1.16-8.98); P = .025) and the composite endpoint of major clinical events (hazard ratio: 2.37 (1.34-4.18); P = .003). An elevated renal resistive index with a threshold of 0.7 is an independent predictor of a first cardiovascular or renal event in type 2 diabetic patients. This simple index should be implemented in the multiparametric staging of diabetes.

Abstract
Arterial stiffness (AS) has an important impact on the outcomes of patients on hemodialysis (HD), and p-cresyl sulfate (PC) can mediate the process of vascular damage. We aimed to investigate the relationship between carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and the level of PCs in HD patients. Serum PCs were quantified using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Patients who were on standard HD for more than 3 months were enrolled and categorized according to the cfPWV into the high AS (>10 m/s) and control (≤10 m/s) groups. Forty-nine (41.5%) patients belonged to the high AS group and had a higher incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and increased systolic blood pressure, serum C-reactive protein, and PC levels but had lower creatinine, compared with those in the control group. In HD patients, the risk for developing high AS increased in the presence of DM (OR 4.147, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.497-11.491) and high PCs (OR 1.067, 95% CI 1.002-1.136). Having DM (r = 0.446) and high PC level (r = 0.174) were positively associated with cfPWV. The most optimal cutoff value of PC for predicting AS was 18.99 mg/L (area under the curve 0.661, 95% CI 0.568-0.746). We concluded that DM and PCs were promising predictors of high AS in patients on maintenance HD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and aortic arterial stiffness (AS) are risk factors for future cardiovascular events. We evaluated their roles in first hospitalization or all-cause mortality prediction in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January to December 2012, 115 CAD patients were enrolled from a single center and followed up for 5.5 years. The composite endpoint included hospitalization for unstable angina, myocardial infarction, revascularization, or heart failure and all-cause mortality. Patients with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity > 10 m/s (measured using applanation tonometry) constituted the high AS group. RESULTS During a median 54-month follow-up, there were 43 (37.4%) and 11 (9.6%) hospitalization and mortality events, respectively. Overall, 41 (35.7%) and 70 (60.9%) patients were diagnosed with AS and MetS, respectively. CAD patients with high AS had higher diabetes and MetS percentages, were older, and had higher waist circumference and systolic blood pressure (SBP) but lower glomerular filtration rate than those with low AS. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed old age (P < 0.001), diabetes (P = 0.003), and high waist circumference (P = 0.044) and SBP (P = 0.007) as independent predictors of AS in CAD patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that CAD patients with concurrent MetS and high AS had a higher risk for hospitalization (log rank test, P = 0.005) or developing all-cause mortality (log rank test, P = 0.002). Compared with CAD patients without MetS or AS, composite outcome development risk in those with both the conditions was 10.2-fold higher (P < 0.001); this risk was 6.54-fold higher in those with AS alone (P = 0.007). CONCLUSION In CAD patients, age, diabetes, and high waist circumference and SBP are the independent predictors of AS. Additionally, CAD patients with AS with and without MetS have a high first hospitalization or all-cause mortality development risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate prospective associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus status and the gold standard non-invasive method for ascertaining arterial stiffness, carotid femoral pulse wave velocity. METHODS The prospective analysis employed 508 community-dwelling participants (mean age 61 years, 60% women) from the Maine-Syracuse Longitudinal Study. Pulse wave velocity at wave 7 (2006-2010) was compared between those with type 2 diabetes mellitus at wave 6 (2001-2006) (n = 52) and non-diabetics at wave 6 (n = 456), with adjustment for demographic factors, cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle- and pulse wave velocity-related factors. RESULTS Type 2 diabetes mellitus status was associated with a significantly higher pulse wave velocity (12.5 ± 0.36 vs. 10.4 ± 0.12 m/s). Multivariate adjustment for other cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle- and pulse wave velocity-related variables did not attenuate the findings. The risk of an elevated pulse wave velocity (≥12 m/s) was over 9 times higher for those with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus than for those without diabetes (OR 9.14, 95% CI 3.23-25.9, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly if uncontrolled, is significantly associated with risk of arterial stiffness later in life. Effective management of diabetes mellitus is an important element of protection from arterial stiffness.

Abstract
Background Subjects with higher carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) will be at an increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) events in future. Resistin is an inflammatory mediator and a biomarker of CV diseases. We evaluated the association between serum resistin and aortic stiffness in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods A total of 104 patients with CAD were enrolled in this study. cfPWV was measured using the SphygmoCor system. Patients with cfPWV >10 m/s were defined as the high aortic stiffness group. Results Thirty-seven patients (35.6%) had high aortic stiffness and higher percentages of diabetes (p = 0.001), were of older age (p = 0.001) and had higher waist circumference (p < 0.001), systolic blood pressure (p = 0.027), pulse pressure (p = 0.013), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (p < 0.001) and resistin levels (p < 0.001) but lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (p = 0.009) compared to subjects with low aortic stiffness. After adjusting for factors significantly associated with aortic stiffness by multivariate logistic regression analysis, serum resistin (odds ratio = 1.275, 95% confidence interval: 1.065–1.527, p = 0.008) was also found to be an independent predictor of aortic stiffness in patients with CAD. Conclusions Serum resistin level is a biomarker for aortic stiffness in patients with CAD.
