Unravelling the Metabolic Underpinnings of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Comprehensive Mendelian Randomisation Analysis Identifying Causal Metabolites and Biological Pathways.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has a strong genetic predisposition. Integrating metabolomics with Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis offers a potent method to uncover the metabolic factors causally linked to GDM pathogenesis. This study aims to identify specific metabolites and metabolic pathways causally associated with GDM susceptibility through a comprehensive MR analysis. Additionally, it seeks to explore the potential of these identified metabolites as circulating biomarkers for early GDM detection and risk assessment. Furthermore, it aims to evaluate the implicated metabolic pathways as potential therapeutic targets for preventive or interventional strategies against GDM. A two-sample MR study was conducted using summary statistics from a metabolite genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 8299 individuals and a GDM GWAS comprising 13,039 cases and 197,831 controls. Rigorous criteria were applied to select robust genetic instruments for 850 metabolites. MR analysis revealed 47 metabolites exhibiting putative causal associations with GDM risk. Among these, five metabolites demonstrated statistically significant associations after multiple-testing correction: Beta-citrylglutamate, Isobutyrylcarnitine (c4), 1,2-dilinoleoyl-GPC (18:2/18:2), Alliin and Cis-3,4-methyleneheptanoylcarnitine. Importantly, all these metabolites exhibited protective effects against GDM development. Additionally, metabolic pathway enrichment analysis implicated the methionine metabolism and spermidine and spermine biosynthesis pathways in the pathogenesis of GDM. This comprehensive MR study has robustly identified specific metabolites and metabolic pathways with causal links to GDM susceptibility. These findings provide novel insights into the metabolic underpinnings of GDM aetiology and offer promising translational implications. The identified metabolites could serve as potential circulating biomarkers for early detection and risk stratification, while the implicated metabolic pathways may represent therapeutic targets for preventive or interventional strategies against GDM.

Fluid resuscitation with balanced electrolyte solutions results in faster resolution of diabetic ketoacidosis than with 0.9% saline in adults - A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Fluid resuscitation during diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is most frequently performed with 0.9% saline despite its high chloride and sodium concentration. Balanced Electrolyte Solutions (BES) may prove a more physiological alternative, but convincing evidence is missing. We aimed to compare the efficacy of 0.9% saline to BES in DKA management. MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were searched for relevant studies using predefined keywords (from inception to 27 November 2021). Relevant studies were those in which 0.9% saline (Saline-group) was compared to BES (BES-group) in adults admitted with DKA. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. The primary outcome was time to DKA resolution (defined by each study individually), while the main secondary outcomes were changes in laboratory values, duration of insulin infusion, and mortality. We included seven randomized controlled trials and three observational studies with 1006 participants. The primary outcome was reported for 316 patients, and we found that BES resolves DKA faster than 0.9% saline with a mean difference (MD) of -5.36 [95% CI: -10.46, -0.26] hours. Post-resuscitation chloride (MD: -4.26 [-6.97, -1.54] mmoL/L) and sodium (MD: -1.38 [-2.14, -0.62] mmoL/L) levels were significantly lower. In contrast, levels of post-resuscitation bicarbonate (MD: 1.82 [0.75, 2.89] mmoL/L) were significantly elevated in the BES-group compared to the Saline-group. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the duration of parenteral insulin administration (MD: 0.16 [-3.03, 3.35] hours) or mortality (OR: -0.67 [0.12, 3.68]). Studies showed some concern or a high risk of bias, and the level of evidence for most outcomes was low. This meta-analysis indicates that the use of BES resolves DKA faster than 0.9% saline. Therefore, DKA guidelines should consider BES instead of 0.9% saline as the first choice during fluid resuscitation.

The long-term effect of bariatric/metabolic surgery versus pharmacologic therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Metabolic/bariatric surgery as a treatment for obesity and related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), has been increasingly recognised in recent years. However, compared with conventional pharmacologic therapy, the long-term effect (≥ 5 years) of metabolic surgery in T2DM patients is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the diabetes remission rate, incidence of diabetic microvascular complications, incidence of macrovascular complications, and mortality in T2DM patients who received metabolic surgery versus pharmacologic therapy more than 5 years after the surgery. Searching the database, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library from the inception to recent (2024), for randomised clinical trials (RCTs) or cohort studies comparing T2DM patients treated with metabolic surgery versus pharmacologic therapy reporting on the outcomes of the diabetes remission rate, diabetic microvascular complications, macrovascular complications, or mortality over 5 years or more. A total of 15 articles with a total of 85,473 patients with T2DM were eligible for review and meta-analysis in this study. There is a significant long-term increase in diabetes remission for metabolic surgery compared with conventional medical therapy in the overall pooled estimation and RCT studies or cohort studies separately (overall: OR = 4.58, 95% CI: 1.89-11.07, P < 0.001). Significant long-term decreases were found in the pooled results of microvascular complications incidence (HR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.41-0.78, P < 0.001), macrovascular complications incidence (HR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.50-0.70, P < 0.001) and mortality (HR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.53-0.79, P = 0.0018). Metabolic surgery showed more significant long-term effects than pharmacologic therapy on diabetes remission, macrovascular complications, microvascular complications incidence, and all-cause mortality in patients with T2DM using currently available evidence. More high-quality evidence is needed to validate the long-term effects of metabolic surgery versus conventional treatment in diabetes management.
