Abstract
Undernutrition is still a recurring nutritional problem in low and middle-income countries. It is directly associated with the social and economic sphere, but it can also negatively impact the health of the population. In this sense, it is believed that undernourished individuals may be more susceptible to the development of non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, throughout life. This hypothesis was postulated and confirmed until today by several studies that demonstrate that experimental models submitted to protein undernutrition present alterations in glycemic homeostasis linked, in part, to the reduction of insulin secretion. Therefore, understanding the changes that lead to a reduction in the secretion of this hormone is essential to prevent the development of diabetes in undernourished individuals. This narrative review aims to describe the main molecular changes already characterized in pancreatic β cells that will contribute to the reduction of insulin secretion in protein undernutrition. So, it will provide new perspectives and targets for postulation and action of therapeutic strategies to improve glycemic homeostasis during this nutritional deficiency.

Lower heart rate variability, an index of worse autonomic function, is associated with worse beta cell response to a glycemic load in vivo-The Maastricht Study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:105.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated, using population-based data, whether worse autonomic function, estimated from lower 24-hour heart rate variability (HRV), was associated with beta cell function, assessed from beta cell response during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used cross-sectional data from The Maastricht Study, a population-based cohort study (N = 2,007; age, mean ± SD:60 ± 8 years; 52% men; and 24% with type 2 diabetes). We used linear regression analyses with adjustment for potential confounders (demographic, cardiovascular, and lifestyle factors) to study the associations of time- and frequency-domain HRV (composite scores) with overall beta cell response (estimated from a composite score calculated from: C-peptidogenic index, overall insulin secretion, beta cell glucose sensitivity, beta cell potentiation factor, and beta cell rate sensitivity). In addition, we tested for interaction by sex and glucose metabolism status. RESULTS After full adjustment, lower time- and frequency-domain HRV was significantly associated with lower overall beta cell response composite score (standardized beta, -0.055 [-0.098; -0.011] and - 0.051 [-0.095; -0.007], respectively). These associations were not modified by sex and there was no consistent pattern of interaction by glucose metabolism status. CONCLUSION The present etiological study found that worse autonomic function, estimated from lower HRV, was associated with worse beta cell function, estimated from a composite score in a population-based sample which covered the entire spectrum of glucose metabolism. Hence, autonomic dysfunction may contribute to beta cell dysfunction and, ultimately, to the alteration of glucose metabolism status from normal glucose metabolism to prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Exercise and regular physical activity are beneficial for the prevention and management of metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, whereas exercise cessation, defined as deconditioning from regular exercise or physical activity that has lasted for a period of months to years, can lead to metabolic derangements that drive disease. Adaptations to the insulin-secreting pancreatic β-cells are an important benefit of exercise, whereas less is known about how exercise cessation affects these cells. Our aim is to review the impact that exercise and exercise cessation have on β-cell function, with a focus on the evidence from studies examining glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) using gold-standard techniques. Potential mechanisms by which the β-cell adapts to exercise, including exerkine and incretin signaling, autonomic nervous system signaling, and changes in insulin clearance, will also be explored. We will highlight areas for future research.
