Robust increase in glucagon secretion after oral protein intake, but not after glucose or lipid intake in Japanese people without diabetes
Glucagon secretion is suppressed by carbohydrate intake, and increased by protein intake, whereas oral lipid intake had little effect to glucagon secretion in young healthy people. Whereas protein intake robustly stimulated both insulin and glucagon secretion, plasma glucose levels were maintained at a constant level. AbstractFew studies in Asian populations have analyzed how glucagon secretion is affected by ingested glucose, proteins or lipids, individually. To investigate the fluctuations of glucagon secretion after the intake of each of these nutrients, 10 healthy volunteers underwent oral loading tests using each of g...

Fibroblast growth factor  21 as a candidate of a novel serum biomarker for mitochondrial diabetes
Serum fibroblast growth factor  21 levels in patients with mitochondrial diabetes might be much higher than in those with other diabetes types. The results of this study could lead to the establishment of a simple method for screening mitochondrial diabetes using peripheral blood serum. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Association of the triglyceride ‐glucose index with subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: A retrospective cross‐sectional study
ConclusionsThe TyG index is independently associated with SLVD in type  2 diabetes mellitus patients and is a more reliable indicator of SLVD than HOMA2-IR. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

A subtype of laminopathies: Generalized lipodystrophy ‐associated progeroid syndrome caused by LMNA gene c.29C > T mutation
This paper reports the first case of generalized lipodystrophy-associated progeroid syndrome (GLPS) with LMNA c.29C>T mutation in China. AbstractThe term laminopathies refers to a group of congenital diseases characterized by accelerated degeneration of human tissues. Mutations in LMNA, LMNB, ZMPSTE24, and other genes lead to structural and functional abnormalities associated with lamins. One subtype of laminopathy is the generalized lipodystrophy-associated progeroid syndrome (GLPS), which occurs in patients with heterozygous mutations of the LMNA gene c.29C>T(p.T10I). This paper reports the first case of GLPS in Ch...

Role of glycosylphosphatidylinositol ‐anchored high‐density lipoprotein binding protein 1 in hypertriglyceridemia and diabetes
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored high density lipoprotein binding protein  1 (GPIHBP1) is a crucial molecule for the translocation of lipoprotein lipase from parenchymal cells to luminal surface of capillary endothelial cells, and maintenance of lipolytic activity. The null mutation of GPIHBP1 and the production of GPIHBP1 autoantibody induce severe hypertriglyceridemia and recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis. In patients with type 2 diabetes, the circulating GPIHBP1 levels might not correlate well with triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, and rather well-reflect the microvascular complications, such diabetic reti...

Changes in glycemic control and skeletal muscle mass indices after dapagliflozin treatment in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus
ConclusionDapagliflozin treatment of individuals with type  1 diabetes, particularly non-obese individuals and older men, might result in loss of skeletal muscle mass. However, good glycemic control during treatment might prevent the onset and progression of sarcopenia. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

LINC01705 derived from adipocyte exosomes regulates hepatocyte lipid accumulation via an miR ‐552‐3p/LXR axis
ConclusionsWhen taken together, our findings showed that high glucose increased the LINC01705 levels in adipocyte exosomes, and thereby improved HepG2 lipid accumulationvia an miR-552-3p/LXR axis. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Validity of the short ‐form five‐item Problem Area in Diabetes questionnaire as a depression screening tool in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
ConclusionsDepressive symptoms are prevalent in people with type  2 diabetes, with the degree of distress significantly related to the severity of depressive symptoms. PAID-5 is a valid and reliable screening tool, and a score ≥9 could prompt further confirmation for depression. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Contribution of animal models to diabetes research: Its history, significance, and translation to humans
Animal models of diabetes and application to human studies ABSTRACTDiabetes mellitus is still expanding globally and is epidemic in developing countries. The combat of this plague has caused enormous economic and social burdens related to a lowered quality of life in people with diabetes. Despite recent significant improvements of life expectancy in patients with diabetes, there is still a need for efforts to elucidate the complexities and mechanisms of the disease processes to overcome this difficult disorder. To this end, the use of appropriate animal models in diabetes studies is invaluable for translation to humans and...

Non ‐classical monocytes frequency and serum vitamin D3 levels are linked to diabetic foot ulcer associated with peripheral artery disease
ConclusionsNon-classical monocytes frequency and vitamin  D3 levels were significantly reduced in DFU patients with PAD. Non-classical monocytes frequency was associated with vitamin  D3 in DFUs patients, and both parameters were linked to lipid profile. Vitamin  D3 upregulation was a risk-reducing factor for PAD occurrence. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
