Aging represents a multifaceted process culminating in the deterioration of biological functions. Despite the introduction of numerous anti-aging strategies, their therapeutic outcomes have often been less than optimal. Consequently, discovering new targets to mitigate aging effects is of critical importance. We applied Mendelian randomization (MR) to identify potential pharmacological targets against aging, drawing upon summary statistics from both the Decode and FinnGen cohorts, with further validation in an additional cohort...

Neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction in glycogen storage disease type 1b (GSD1b) are caused by the accumulation of 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate (1,5-AG6P) in granulocytes. The antidiabetic drug empagliflozin reduces the concentration of 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5 AG), thus restoring neutrophil counts and functions, leading to promising results in previous case reports. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of neutrophil function in seven GSD1b patients and 11 healthy donors, aiming to evaluate the immediate (after 3 months) and long-term (after 12 months) efficacy of empagliflozin compared to the reference treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)...

METHODS: We performed a case-control study including 200 diagnosed GDM cases and 200 controls matched by maternal age (±2 years) and gestational age (±2 weeks). Concentrations of serum metabolites were measured by the high-performance liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS)...

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has reached epidemic proportions globally, including in Africa. However, molecular studies to understand the pathophysiology of T2D remain scarce outside Europe and North America. The aims of this study are to use an untargeted metabolomics approach to identify: (a) metabolites that are differentially expressed between individuals with and without T2D and (b) a metabolic signature associated with T2D in a population of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). METHODS: A total of 580 adult Nigerians from the Africa America Diabetes Mellitus (AADM) study were studied...

Ion mobility mass spectrometry (ESI-tims-ToF-MS, syringe pump infusion) has been applied to glucose and oligosaccharide ethers derived from hydroxyethyl-methyl celluloses (HEMC) and hydroxyethyl celluloses (HEC) after permethylation and partial depolymerization: by hydrolysis without or with subsequent reductive amination with m-amino benzoic acid (mABA) or by reductive cleavage. As model compounds without tandem substitution methoxyethylated methylcellulose was used. Regioisomeric glucose ethers were separated according to their ion mobility, and positions of substitution could be assigned...

The literature review employed several databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. The investigation was finished on October 30, 2023. Many terms are utilized, including "AF", "Biomarkers", "Diabetes Mellitus", and "Pathogenesis"...

Glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD1b) and G6PC3-deficiency are rare autosomal recessive diseases caused by inactivating mutations in SLC37A4 (coding for G6PT) and G6PC3, respectively. Both diseases are characterized by neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction due to the intracellular accumulation of 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate (1,5-AG6P), a potent inhibitor of hexokinases. We recently showed that the use of SGLT2 inhibitor therapy to reduce tubular reabsorption of its precursor, 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), a glucose analog present in blood, successfully restored the neutropenia and neutrophil function in G6PC3-deficient and GSD1b patients...

OBJECTIVE: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease whose main feature is chronic hyperglycemia. The causes of DM are impaired insulin secretion, impaired insulin action, or both. Saliva is a biofluid that can be considered as a "mirror" reflecting our body's health status; with the rapid advancement in salivaomics, saliva, being a non-invasive and safe source, could be a substitute for blood in the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. As there are no precise guidelines about the salivary biomarkers correlated with the diagnosis of diabetes, a review was conducted to verify whether saliva analysis can be feasible and which biomarkers are more reliable, for the diagnosis of this disease...

Metabolic abnormalities constitute a significant characteristic of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We utilised a two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) study to evaluate the potential causal association between 486 blood metabolites and SLE. Exposure data at the metabolite level were extracted from 7824 European Genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Preliminary analysis utilised SLE GWAS data from FinnGen. The primary method for causal analysis relied on random inverse variance weighting (IVW). To ensure robustness, sensitivity analyses included the Cochran Q test, MR-Egger intercept test, MR-PRESSO, and leave-one-out analysis...

Glycogen storage disease type 1b (GSD1b) is associated with inflammatory bowel disease and congenital neutropenia. Neutropenia in GSD1b is caused by the accumulation of 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate. Empagliflozin is an antidiabetic drug that promotes renal excretion of this metabolite. We report on a patient with refractory GSD1b-associated inflammatory bowel disease who is in clinical remission on empagliflozin monotherapy.

It is of great importance to uncover causal biomarkers to gain insight into the pathogenesis of oral diseases and identify novel treatment targets for prevention and treatment thereof. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the causal effects of hundreds of metabolites on 10 dental traits using a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Genetic variants from genome-wide association studies of 309 known metabolites were used as instrumental variables. We selected 10 dental traits, including clinical measures of dental diseases, from the Gene-Lifestyle Interactions in Dental Endpoints Consortium and self-reported oral health data from the UK Biobank...

1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) is of considerable clinical relevance as a biochemical marker of glucose metabolism in the assessment and monitoring of diabetes. Herein, a simple colorimetric biosensor was constructed for the identification and detection of 1,5-AG by using pyranose oxidase (PROD) enzyme cascaded with reduced graphene oxide/persimmon tannin/Pt@Pd (RGO-PT/Pt@Pd NPs) nanozyme. The as-prepared RGO-PT/Pt@Pd NPs had excellent peroxidase-like activity and can be applied as a nanozyme. First, PROD enzyme reacts with the target 1,5-AG, decomposing 1,5-AG into 1,5-anhydrofuctose (1,5-AF) and H2 O2 ...

Urinary 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1, 5-AG), 6-α-D-glucopyranosyl-maltotriose (Glc4 ) and maltotetraose (M4 ) are important biomarkers for glycogen storage disease (types Ib and Ⅱ). This study aimed to develop and validate an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to detect these three urinary saccharide metabolites. Urine samples were diluted and then analyzed. Chromatographic separation was performed on an Acquity™ UPLC Amide column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1...

Family caregivers of adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are the fastest growing group of informal healthcare providers in the United States. These individuals experience high levels of stress and physical and psychosocial symptoms related to their caregiving role. We provided 20 ADRD caregivers (≥ 55 years of age) with training and access to a mobile health app for at-home practice of gentle yoga and yoga breathing exercises. Here, we report secondary outcomes, including changes in caregiver physical and mental function, burden, fatigue, sleep, and biological stress markers (salivary cortisol and 1,5-anhydroglucitol [1,5-AG] assays) from Baseline (Week 1) to Study End (Week 12)...

Both long- and short-term glycemic variability have been associated with incident diabetes complications. We evaluated their relative and potential additive effects on incident renal complications in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes trial. A marker of shortterm glycemic variability 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) was measured in 4,000 random 12-months post-randomization plasma samples (when hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) was stable). Visit-to-visit fasting plasma glucose coefficient of variation (CV-FPG) was determined from 4 months postrandomization until the endpoints of (1) microalbuminuria or (2) macroalbuminuria...

Neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction in glycogen storage disease type 1b (GSD1b) and severe congenital neutropenia type 4 (SCN4), associated with deficiencies of the glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT/SLC37A4) and the phosphatase G6PC3, respectively, are the result of the accumulation of 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate in neutrophils. This is an inhibitor of hexokinase made from 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), an abundant polyol in blood. 1,5-AG is presumed to be reabsorbed in the kidney by a sodium-dependent-transporter of uncertain identity, possibly SGLT4/SLC5A9 or SGLT5/SLC5A10...
