Determinants of increased muscle insulin sensitivity of exercise-trained versus sedentary normal weight and overweight individuals.

The athlete's paradox states that intramyocellular triglyceride accumulation associates with insulin resistance in sedentary but not in endurance-trained humans. Underlying mechanisms and the role of muscle lipid distribution and composition on glucose metabolism remain unclear. We compared highly trained athletes (ATHL) with sedentary normal weight (LEAN) and overweight-to-obese (OVWE) male and female individuals.

Depression symptoms, wellbeing, health-related quality of life, and diabetes-related distress in novel subtypes of recent-onset diabetes in Germany: a 5-year observational follow-up study.

Background: The subjective experiences of individuals living with diabetes is commonly assessed with patient-reported outcomes (PROs; eg, depression symptoms, wellbeing, health-related quality of life [HRQOL], and diabetes-related distress). Cluster analyses have identified novel diabetes subtypes differing in phenotypic and metabolic characteristics. We aimed to investigate associations between these subtypes and PROs and whether subtype predicted PROs 5 years later.

Role of patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 gene for decreasing kidney function in recently diagnosed diabetes mellitus.

Aims: We examined the association of the G allele in the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs738409 in the third exon of patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 gene (PNPLA3) gene, with chronic kidney disease in diabetes endotypes.

Methods: Participants with recent-onset diabetes (n = 707) from the prospective German Diabetes Study (GDS) underwent cluster assignment, detailed phenotyping, genotyping and magnetic resonance spectroscopy to quantify hepatocellular lipid content (HCL).

Results: Severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD) had the lowest glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) and highest HCL compared to severe insulin-deficient, moderate obesity-related, moderate age-related and severe autoimmune diabetes endotypes (all p < 0.

Adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is associated with lower visceral and hepatic lipid content in recent-onset type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Aim: To investigate the associations of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) score with subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) adipose tissue volume and hepatic lipid content (HLC) in people with diabetes and to examine whether changes in the DASH diet were associated with changes in these outcomes.

Methods: In total, 335 participants with recent-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) from the German Diabetes Study were included in the cross-sectional analysis, and 111 participants in the analysis of changes during the 5-year follow-up. Associations between the DASH score and VAT, SAT and HLC and their changes were investigated using multivariable linear regression models by diabetes type.
