Insulin resistance estimated by estimated glucose disposal rate predicts outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), a simple and noninvasive measure of insulin resistance, has been proven to be an independent risk factor for first-time stroke and all-cause mortality. In this study, we aimed to investigate the associations between eGDR and the stroke outcome in patients with first-time acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods

We included first-time AIS patients with available data on eGDR in the China National Stroke Registry III (CNSR-III), and divided the subjects into lower eGDR group (eGDR ≤ 6 mg/kg/min) and higher eGDR group (eGDR > 6 mg/kg/min). The primary outcome was excellent functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0-1) at 3 months. Secondary outcomes included stroke recurrence and favorable functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0-2) at 3 months, and functional outcome and combined vascular event at one year. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the association between eGDR and outcomes.

Results

A total of 6,271 patients with AIS were included in this study. The median values of eGDR in lower and higher eGDR group were 5.0 mg/kg/min (interquartile range, 4.2-5.6) and 7.6 mg/kg/min (interquartile range, 6.8-9.6), respectively. Patients with higher eGDR were significantly associated with higher incidence of excellent functional outcome (adjusted odds ratio, 1.24; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-1.45; P < 0.01) at 3 months and favorable (adjusted odds ratio, 1.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.24-1.93; P < 0.01) and excellent (adjusted odds ratio, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-1.51; P < 0.01) functional outcome at one year. However, there was no significant difference in stroke recurrence between these two groups at 3 months (adjusted odds ratio, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.61-1.06; P = 0.12) and one year (adjusted odds ratio, 0.91; 95% confidence interval, 0.73-1.14; P = 0.41).

Conclusion

eGDR is a predictor of functional outcome in patients with AIS, independent of traditional cardiovascular predictors.

Project description:Background and aimsInsulin resistance contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is also a cardiovascular risk factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between insulin resistance measured by estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) and risk of stroke and mortality thereof in people with T2D.Materials and methodsNationwide population based observational cohort study that included all T2D patients from the Swedish national diabetes registry between 2004 and 2016 with full data on eGDR and categorised as following: < 4, 4-6, 6-8, and ≥ 8 mg/kg/min. We calculated crude incidence rates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and used multiple Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) to assess the association between the risk of stroke and death, according to the eGDR categories in which the lowest category < 4 (i.e., highest grade of insulin resistance), served as a reference. The relative importance attributed of each factor in the eGDR formula was measured by the R2 (± SE) values calculating the explainable log-likelihoods in the Cox regression.ResultsA total of 104 697 T2D individuals, 44.5% women, mean age of 63 years, were included. During a median follow up-time of 5.6 years, 4201 strokes occurred (4.0%). After multivariate adjustment the HRs (95% CI) for stroke in patients with eGDR categories between 4-6, 6-8 and > 8 were: 0.77 (0.69-0.87), 0.68 (0.58-0.80) and 0.60 (0.48-0.76), compared to the reference < 4. Corresponding numbers for the risk of death were: 0.82 (0.70-0.94), 0.75 (0.64-0.88) and 0.68 (0.53-0.89). The attributed relative risk R2 (± SE) for each variable in the eGDR formula and stroke was for: hypertension (0.045 ± 0.0024), HbA1c (0.013 ± 0.0014), and waist (0.006 ± 0.0009), respectively.ConclusionA low eGDR (a measure of insulin resistance) is associated with an increased risk of stroke and death in individuals with T2D. The relative attributed risk was most important for hypertension.

Project description:BackgroundFrailty is a common geriatric syndrome associated with many adverse health outcomes. Identifying the risk factors of frailty is crucial and the insulin resistance (IR) is considered as a potential target. The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a simple and reliable surrogate marker of IR. Associations of eGDR with frailty have not been explored. This study aimed to investigate the associations of eGDR with frailty progression.MethodsWe used data from two prospective cohorts of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and Health and Retirement Study (HRS). The eGDR was calculated as follows: eGDR (mg/kg/min) = 21.158 - (0.09×waist circumference) - (3.407×hypertension) - (0.551×glycosylated hemoglobin A1c) [waist circumference (cm), hypertension (yes = 1/no = 0), and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (%)]. Participants were divided into three categories by tertiles of eGDR. Frailty index (FI) was calculated every two years and used to assess the degree of frailty which ranged from 0 to 100. Frailty progression was assessed by repeated measurements of FI during follow-up. Linear mixed-effect models were used to analyze the associations of eGDR with frailty progression.Results8872 participants from CHARLS (mean age: 58.9 years, female: 53.3%) and 5864 participants from HRS (mean age: 67.0 years, female: 59.0%) were included. The median follow-up periods were 7.0 years in the CHARLS and 12.8 years in the HRS, respectively. Compared to participants with lower tertile (T1) of eGDR, those with upper tertile (T3) of eGDR showed decelerated FI progression (CHARLS, β: -0.294, 95%CI -0.390 to -0.198, P < 0.001; HRS, β: -0.378, 95%CI -0.474 to -0.281, P < 0.001). Continuous eGDR was also associated with FI progression for significant deceleration in FI progression with per 1 SD increase in eGDR (CHARLS, β: -0.142, 95%CI -0.181 to -0.103, P < 0.001; HRS, β: -0.170, 95%CI -0.209 to -0.130, P < 0.001). These associations were still observed after excluding baseline frail participants. Furthermore, the associations of eGDR with FI progression were consistent among participants with and without diabetes.ConclusionRegardless of diabetes or not, a higher level of eGDR was associated with the decelerated frailty progression. Our findings highlight the role of eGDR in frailty progression and recommend taking effective interventions to improve eGDR for preventing frailty progression.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisMicrovascular dysfunction contributes to insulin resistance. CD36, a fatty acid transporter and modulator of insulin signalling, is abundant in microvascular endothelial cells. Humans carrying the minor allele (G) of CD36 coding variant rs3211938 have 50% reduced CD36 expression and show endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to determine whether G allele carriers have microvascular resistance to insulin and, if so, how this affects glucose disposal.MethodsOur multi-disciplinary approach included hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamps in Cd36-/- and wild-type mice, and in individuals with 50% CD36 deficiency, together with control counterparts, in addition to primary human-derived microvascular endothelial cells with/without CD36 depletion.ResultsInsulin clamps showed that Cd36-/- mice have enhanced insulin-stimulated glucose disposal but reduced vascular compliance and capillary perfusion. Intravital microscopy of the gastrocnemius showed unaltered transcapillary insulin flux. CD36-deficient humans had better insulin-stimulated glucose disposal but insulin-unresponsive microvascular blood volume (MBV). Human microvascular cells depleted of CD36 showed impaired insulin activation of Akt, endothelial NO synthase and NO generation. Thus, in CD36 deficiency, microvascular insulin resistance paradoxically associated with enhanced insulin sensitivity of glucose disposal.Conclusions/interpretationCD36 deficiency was previously shown to reduce muscle/heart fatty acid uptake, whereas here we showed that it reduced vascular compliance and the ability of insulin to increase MBV for optimising glucose and oxygen delivery. The muscle and heart respond to these energy challenges by transcriptional remodelling priming the tissue for insulin-stimulated glycolytic flux. Reduced oxygen delivery activating hypoxia-induced factors, endothelial release of growth factors or small intracellular vesicles might mediate this adaptation. Targeting NO bioavailability in CD36 deficiency could benefit the microvasculature and muscle/heart metabolism.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT03012386 DATA AVAILABILITY: The RNAseq data generated in this study have been deposited in the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus ( www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/ ) under accession code GSE235988 ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE235988 ).

Project description:BackgroundInsulin resistance (IR) is a central pathophysiological factor in metabolic syndrome (MetS) and an essential driver of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a reliable marker of IR and has been associated with CVD prognosis. This study aims to examine the relationship between eGDR, MetS, and their predictive roles in clinical outcomes.MethodsData from the NHANES (2001-2018) were utilized, with a cross-sectional design applied to evaluate the association between eGDR and MetS prevalence, and a cohort design employed for mortality follow-up. Weighted logistic regression models were used to examine the association between eGDR and MetS. Weighted Cox proportional hazard models were applied to assess the link between eGDR and both all-cause and CVD mortality. To examine the non-linear associations between the eGDR, MetS, and mortality outcomes, restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was applied. Additionally, the predictive performance of eGDR, and other IR indices (TyG, HOMA-IR), for mortality was assessed using the C-statistic.ResultsA robust negative association between eGDR and MetS prevalence was found, following full covariate adjustment (p < 0.001). The core findings were consistent across subgroups (all p < 0.001). Cox regression analysis indicated that in individuals with MetS, each standard deviation (SD) increment in eGDR was associated with an 11% and 18% decrement in the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality, respectively. RCS analysis displayed a non-linear association between eGDR and MetS prevalence, while a linear association between eGDR and mortality. The C-statistic showed that eGDR, compared to the TyG index and HOMA-IR, significantly improved predictive power for all-cause mortality (p = 0.007).ConclusioneGDR is strongly associated with MetS and predicts all-cause and CVD mortality in individuals with MetS. Compared to TyG and HOMA-IR, eGDR offers superior predictive value for all-cause mortality, highlighting its potential as a useful tool in clinical risk assessment.

Project description:ContextAccurate assessment of insulin sensitivity may better identify individuals at increased risk of cardio-metabolic diseases.ObjectivesTo examine whether a combination of anthropometric, biochemical and imaging measures can better estimate insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and provide improved prediction of cardio-metabolic risk, in comparison to HOMA-IR.Design and participantsHealthy male volunteers (96 Chinese, 80 Malay, 77 Indian), 21 to 40 years, body mass index 18-30 kg/m(2). Predicted ISI (ISI-cal) was generated using 45 randomly selected Chinese through stepwise multiple linear regression, and validated in the rest using non-parametric correlation (Kendall's tau ?). In an independent longitudinal cohort, ISI-cal and HOMA-IR were compared for prediction of diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD), using ROC curves.SettingThe study was conducted in a university academic medical centre.Outcome measuresISI measured by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic glucose clamp, along with anthropometric measurements, biochemical assessment and imaging; incident diabetes and CVD.ResultsA combination of fasting insulin, serum triglycerides and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) provided the best estimate of clamp-derived ISI (adjusted R(2) 0.58 versus 0.32 HOMA-IR). In an independent cohort, ROC areas under the curve were 0.77±0.02 ISI-cal versus 0.76±0.02 HOMA-IR (p>0.05) for incident diabetes, and 0.74±0.03 ISI-cal versus 0.61±0.03 HOMA-IR (p<0.001) for incident CVD. ISI-cal also had greater sensitivity than defined metabolic syndrome in predicting CVD, with a four-fold increase in the risk of CVD independent of metabolic syndrome.ConclusionsTriglycerides and WHR, combined with fasting insulin levels, provide a better estimate of current insulin resistance state and improved identification of individuals with future risk of CVD, compared to HOMA-IR. This may be useful for estimating insulin sensitivity and cardio-metabolic risk in clinical and epidemiological settings.
