High levels of ketone bodies are associated with improved survival as observed regular exercise, caloric restriction, and-most recently-treatment sodium-glucose linked transporter 2 inhibitor antidiabetic drugs. In heart failure, indices body metabolism upregulated, which may improve energy efficiency and increase blood flow in skeletal muscle the kidneys. Nevertheless, it is uncertain how affect myocardial glucose uptake humans. Our study was therefore designed to test whether...

β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is recommended as a measure of ketosis and often assessed by capillary samples on point-of-care (POC) meters. However, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) considered the gold standard for assessing venous samples. The POC device KetoSureTM only from finger pricks. So far, has not been compared to LC-MS/MS just it evaluated if sampling site influences BHB concentration. Blood were collected 16 healthy, fasting individuals before after ingestion...

Background Lipolysis is accelerated during the acute phase of inflammation, a process being regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. TNF-α), stress-hormones, and insulin. The intracellular mechanisms remain elusive we therefore measured pro- anti-lipolytic signaling pathways in adipocytes after vivo endotoxin exposure. Methods Eight healthy, lean, male subjects were investigated using randomized cross over trial with two interventions: i) bolus injection saline (Placebo) ii)...

The appetite-suppressing potential of liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2), and its antagonistic effects on the hunger-inducing hormone ghrelin have attracted scientific interest. It is unclear how LEAP2 influenced by fasting it responds to specific nutrients.The purpose this investigation was assess whether concentration 1) decreases after fasting, 2) increases postprandially, 3) regulated nutrient sensing in splanchnic bed.Plasma measured blood samples from 5 clinical cross-over...

Abstract Context Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have an increased risk of long-term complications, including impaired glucose metabolism, type 2 (T2DM), cardiovascular disease, and obesity. In current clinical practice, a 1 size fits all approach to GDM is applied, although heterogeneity among women has been recognized. Objective To give the most adequate preventive care postpartum (PP) guidance, we aimed make metabolic characterization identify subgroups previous within...

Pregnant women are occasionally misdiagnosed with gestational diabetes (GDM) when they may have glucokinase monogenic (GCK-MODY). Differentiating between GCK-MODY and GDM is critical due to the distinct treatment strategies required during after pregnancy. Since pregnancy often elicits first glucose tolerance test, it provides a unique opportunity identify individuals GCK-MODY. However, testing all pregnant for expensive, use of clinical criteria warranted. An Irish study suggested using...

D-3-hydroxybutyrate (D-3-OHB) is a ketone body that serves as an alternative nutritional fuel but also important signaling metabolite. Oral supplements containing D/L-3-OHB are becoming popular approach to achieve ketosis.To explore the gut-derived effects of supplements.Eight healthy lean male volunteers were investigated on 2 separate occasions:An acetaminophen test was performed evaluate gastric emptying and blood samples obtained consecutively throughout study period.We show oral...

To investigate the acute effect of ketone ester (KE) ingestion on appetite and plasma concentrations acyl ghrelin (AG), unacylated (UAG) glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion, to compare responses with those elicited by isocaloric glucose (GLU) administration.We examined 10 healthy young men three separate occasions using a placebo (PBO)-controlled crossover design. A KE versus taste-matched isovolumetric 50% GLU PBO vehicle was orally administered. Our main outcome measures were AG,...

The indication for treatment of type 1 diabetes(T1D) with the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) dapagliflozin has been withdrawn in Europe likely because concern diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). We calculated incidence DKA people T1D treated SGLT2i Denmark.Clinical data from adults Denmark were collected nine outpatient clinics.

Endotoxin administrations are used in experimental models of inflammatory disease. Short-term endotoxin tolerance response to repeated exposure is well known, but the duration humans remains unknown. The main purpose this study was test whether present vivo when separating exposures with more than 5 weeks, a time span often between individual investigations clinical studies. Seventeen healthy young men were exposed twice Escherichia coli endotoxin. calculated as area under curve first and...

Adipose tissue physiology and homeostasis depends on a healthy vascular network. Vascular malfunction is hallmark of obesity, endothelial dysfunction, in particular, precipitates metabolic diseases, including obesity type two diabetes. Although single-cell transcriptomics approaches have defined atlases human white adipose (WAT) cells, the associated cells remain relatively undefined. Specifically, there limited information their heterogeneity function, roles disease. To address this gap, we...

Measurement of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) in blood is used clinically as a measure ketosis when diabetic ketoacidosis expected. With the introduction point-of-care testing (POCT) for blood-BHB, nonproductive time reduced to minimum potential critical situation; however, studies have observed inferior quality POCT-BHB. Recently, POCT device KetoSure (Roche) has been introduced clinic. In this study, we evaluated imprecision and linearity compared established StatStrip Express (Nova Biomedical)...
