Timing of unsaturated fat intake improves insulin sensitivity through gut microbiota-dependent regulation of bile acid metabolism: a randomized controlled trial


ABSTRACT:

The timing of dietary fat intake influences metabolic health. However, the impact of the timing of unsaturated fat (USFA) intake on glycemic control has yet to be explored. This 12-week, double-blind, randomized, controlled, 2 x 2 factorial-designed feeding trial investigated the effects of timing (lunch or dinner) and types of dietary USFA (high monounsaturated fat or polyunsaturated fat diet) intake on glucose metabolism in seventy prediabetes participants (mean age, 57 years, fasting glucose (100-126 mg/dL) or postprandial glucose (140-199 mg/dL)). Sixty participants with completed fecal samples were included in the final analysis (n=15 for each group). Postprandial serum glucose (first primary outcome) and insulin (co-primary outcomes) levels from an oral glucose tolerance test were detected. Insulin sensitivity indices (co-primary outcomes) were calculated. Secondary outcomes were continuous glucose levels, serum fatty acid profile, gut microbiome (metagenomic sequencing) and fecal metabolites. Results showed no significant differences in postprandial glucose between groups. However, USFA intake at lunch (vs dinner) improved insulin sensitivity and reduced postprandial insulin and serum free saturated fatty acid (Ptiming < 0.05, Ptype > 0.05, Pinteraction > 0.05), which was associated with alterations in gut microbiome and bile acid metabolism, regardless of USFA type. Here we show, advancing timing of USFA intake improves insulin sensitivity through the gut microbiome and bile acid metabolism, while the type of USFA does not. A limitation is that sample size calculation and power were based on postprandial glucose changes, whereas other co-primary outcomes were not considered. However, the type I error was controlled (α/4) in their analysis. Trial registration: ChiCTR2100045645.
