RESUMO

Metabolomics,a hot field of research of life science in recent years,is to analyze endogenous smallmolecule metabolites in biological samples for an overall understanding of the characteristics of metabolic disorders.A growing number of studies have confirmed the application of metabolomics for clinical diagnosis and treatment of diseases."Metabolic fingerprint" of biological fluids can be employed for disease prevention,timely diagnosis,accurate treatment,prognostic assessment and drug discovery.Clinical metabolomics is to measure low-molecule-weight metabolites' alterations of individuals in response to physiological stressors,disease processes,or drug therapy,aiming to discover potential biomarkers and drug targets.Coronary artery disease (CAD) is characterized as complex molecular events.Metabolic disturbances are involved in CAD progression.The application of metabolomics to CAD is an emerging field.Advances in metabolomics improve our knowledge on CAD in early diagnosis,prognostic prediction,and personalized therapy.

RESUMO

This study evaluated the effect of fish oil rich in n-3 fatty acids on bone characteristics in Sprague-Dawley rats. Weanling male rats were randomized to receive either a diet containing high fish oil (FO), fish oil blended with corn oil (FICO), or soy oil rich in n-6 fatty acids (SO) for 4 weeks. All diets provided 70 g/kg fat based on the AIN-93G diet. Growth and biomarkers of bone metabolism were analyzed, and femur bone characteristics were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. After the dietary treatment, no significant differences among the diet groups were observed for serum concentrations of Ca, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, or osteocalcin. Alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly greater in FO-fed rats compared to that in the FICO and SO groups, whereas no difference in deoxypyridinoline values was observed, supporting the positive effect of a FO diet on bone formation. These results were accompanied by a significant increase in femur bone mineral density (BMD) in FO-fed rats. These findings suggest that providing fish oil rich in n-3 fatty acids correlates with higher alkaline phosphatase activity and BMD values, favoring bone formation in growing rats.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The relationship between variants of the leptin gene (LEP) and obesity and metabolic biomarkers was investigated in Brazilian individuals. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: One-hundred-ten obese (BMI > 30 kg/m²) and 100 non-obese individuals (145 women and 65 men, aged 49 ± 14 years) were randomly selected. Plasma leptin, glycemia, serum lipid measurements and LEP -2548G>A and 3'HVR polymorphisms were analyzed. RESULTS: The LEP -2548GG genotype was associated with a 2.2 percent and 2.0 percent increase in BMI (p = 0.009) and plasma leptin (p = 0.031), respectively. 3'HVR I/II (classes I/I+I/II) genotypes contributed with 1.8 percent of BMI values (p = 0.046). LEP I/G combined genotypes (I/IGG, I/IGA and I/IIGG) were associated with obesity, and increased BMI, waist circumference, leptin and triglycerides (p < 0.05). These relationships were found in women (p < 0.05) but not in men. LEP I/G combined genotypes were not associated with hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and coronary artery disease. CONCLUSIONS: LEP I/G combined genotypes are associated with obesity-related metabolic biomarkers and phenotype in a gender-dependent manner.


OBJETIVO: A relação entre as variantes do gene da leptina (LEP) e obesidade e biomarcadores metabólicos foi investigada em indivíduos brasileiros. SUJEITOS E MÉTOODS: Cento e dez indivíduos obesos (IMC > 30 kg/m²) e 100 não obesos (145 mulheres e 65 homens, idade 49 ± 14 anos) foram selecionados aleatoriamente. Leptina plasmática, glicemia, lípides séricos e polimorfismos LEP -2548G>A e 3'HVR foram analisados. RESULTADOS: O genótipo -2548GG foi associado com aumento de 2,2 por cento e 2,0 por cento no IMC (p = 0,009) e leptina plasmática (p = 0,031), respectivamente, enquanto os genótipos 3´HVR I/II (classes I/I+I/II) contribuíram com 1,8 por cento dos valores de IMC (p = 0,046). Os genótipos combinados LEP I/G (I/IGG, I/IGA e I/IIGG) foram associados com obesidade e IMC aumentado, circunferência abdominal, leptina e triglicérides aumentados (p < 0,05). Essas relações foram encontradas em mulheres (p < 0,05), mas não em homens. Os genótipos LEP I/G combinados não foram associados com hipertensão, hiperglicemia, dislipidemia e doença arterial coronariana. CONCLUSÕES: Genótipos combinados LEP I/G são associados com biomarcadores metabólicos e fenótipo de obesidade de forma gênero-dependente.

RESUMO

This study was done to evaluate the effect of Ca source using fish (Tilapia mossambica) scales on the bone metabolism. Male Sprague-Dawley rats, 4 weeks of age, were fed low-calcium diet (0.15% Ca) for 2 weeks. The rats on the low-calcium diet were further assigned to one of following three groups for an additional 4 weeks: 1) Ca-depletion group (LoCa) given 0.15% Ca diet (CaCO3), 2) Ca-repletion group (AdCa) given 0.5% Ca diet (CaCO3), 3) Ca-repletion diet (AdFa) received 0.5% Ca diet (Ca source from Tilapia mossambica scales). Serum parathyroid (PTH) and calcitonin showed no differences among experimental groups. Whereas LoCa group elevated the turnover markers, serum ALP and osteocalcin, and urinary deoxypyridinoline (DPD), AdCa and AdFa groups reduced their values. Elevation in the femoral weight, ash and Ca contents was observed in AdCa and AdFa groups. Bone mineral density was increased in AdCa and AdFa groups by 25-26% compared with LoCa group. These data demonstrate that Ca repletion with either Ca source from Tilapia mossambica scales or CaCO3 is similarly effective in the improvement of bone turnover markers and BMD, suggesting the usefulness of Tilapia mossambica scales in the prevention of bone loss compared with CaCO3.
