Diet-Related Lipidomic Signatures and Changed Type 2 Diabetes Risk in a Randomized Controlled Feeding Study With Mediterranean Diet and Traditional Chinese or Transitional Diets

Diabetes CarePublished Secondary analysis of a randomised controlled feeding trial with a cohort

Authors' conclusion

These fish- and red meat-related lipidomic signatures sensitively reflected different diets and modified type 2 diabetes risk factors, critical for optimizing dietary patterns.

Study context

Population
Chinese adults with overweight and prediabetes; lipid associations with habitual diet examined in a Chinese cohort (n = 1,117)cohort n = 1,117
Participants
231 adults
Comparison
Mediterranean vs traditional Chinese vs transitional diet
Methodological detailsrandomized feeding trial, targeted lipidomics, February to September 2019
  • Randomized feeding trial
  • Targeted lipidomics
  • February to September 2019

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Diet-induced plasma lipidomic changes
Lipidomic species altered across groups (out of 364)
26
TAG fractions altered
12
Plasmalogens altered
nine
Phosphatidylcholines (PCs) altered
four
Phosphatidylethanolamine altered
one

Further findings

Association with habitual diet in cohort

TAG fractions and PCs associated with habitual fish intake; plasmalogens with red meat intake

Matsuda index

10 TAG fractions and PC(16:0/22:6) associated with improved Matsuda index, β
0.12 to 0.42; PFDR < 0.030

Fasting glucose

Two plasmalogens associated with deteriorated fasting glucose, β
0.29 to 0.31; PFDR < 0.014
Similar results for TAG and plasmalogen related modules
