Background: Several blood sugar metabolites and gluconeogenesis substrates, including glucose and fructose, are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk but the evidence remains unclear.
Objective: To determine the associations between baseline and 1-year changes in plasma glycolysis/gluconeogenesis-related metabolites with insulin resistance and incident T2D risk; and to examine whether these associations are mitigated by Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) interventions in a population at high cardiovascular risk.
Research Design and Methods: We included251 incident T2D cases (occurring after a median follow-up of 3.8 years) and 638 non-cases in a nested case-cohort study. Participants were allocated to a MedDiet + extra-virgin olive oil, MedDiet + nuts or a control diet. Plasma metabolites were measured using a targeted approach by LC-MS. We tested the associations of baseline and 1-year changes in glycolysis/gluconeogenesis metabolites with subsequent T2D risk using weighted proportional hazards Cox regression models. We designed a weighted score combining all these metabolites and applying the leave-one-out cross-validation approach.
Results: Baseline fasting plasma levels of fructose 6-phosphate, pyruvate, lactate, alanine, glycerol-3 phosphate and the weighted score were significantly associated with higher T2D risk (23% to 44% higher risk for each 1SD increment). Fructose 6-phosphate was associated with a higher T2D risk in the control group but not in the MedDiet groups (Pfor interaction=0.05). Participants in the higher quartile of 1-year changes in lactate and aconitate had 3.87-fold (95% CI: 2.05-7.30) and 3.16-fold (95% CI: 1.76-5.68), higher risk of T2D, respectively.
Conclusions: We identified a panel of glycolysis/gluconeogenesis-related metabolites that was significantly associated with T2D risk in individuals at high cardiovascular risk.
