There is little information comparing the effects of a high-monounsaturated (Mono)-fat versus a high-carbohydrate (CHO) diet in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. In the present study, the effects of these diets on a number of metabolic parameters were compared. Seventeen normolipidemic, nonobese patients with type 1 diabetes were provided with the diets for 4 weeks each in a randomized, crossover design. The percentages of Mono fat of the two diets were 25 Mono versus 9 CHO, with a corresponding total fat content of 40% versus 24% and a total CHO content of 45% versus 61%. At the end of each dietary period, parameters of glycemic control, coagulation factors, and fasting and postprandial lipoproteins were assessed. There were no differences in weight, glycemia, insulin dose, fasting lipid profile, or coagulation factors between the two diets. However, the metabolism of postprandial lipoproteins after a fat load differed; viz, after the Mono diet compared with the CHO diet, mean plasma triglyceride levels over 10 hours were higher (P=.0025, by repeated-measures ANOVA). The levels of triglyceride (P=.0045) and retinyl esters (P=.0046) in chylomicrons (Sf>400) and chylomicron remnants (Sf 100 to 400) (P=.0047 and P=.043, respectively), and the total particle number (apolipoprotein B levels) in chylomicron remnants (P=.001) and small, very low density lipoprotein (Sf 20 to 100, P=.016) were also higher. Our data suggest that in patients with type 1 diabetes, a CHO diet might be preferable to a Mono diet, since adherence to the former results in a lower number of circulating postprandial lipoprotein particles that are potentially atherogenic.

Raised plasma lipoprotein(a) (lp(a)) concentrations have been reported in patients with Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, which were lowered by insulin therapy. To investigate the biochemical background of these changes, we studied the effect of insulin on apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) synthesis and mRNA levels in primary cultures of cynomolgus monkey hepatocytes. Low concentrations of insulin (10 nmol/l) had a small but significant decreasing effect (p < 0.046) on apolipoprotein(a) secretion (-16%). Maximum inhibition (-33%) was obtained after incubation for 72 h with 1000 nmol/l insulin. Apolipoprotein B-100 secretion was 30%-36% decreased when using 10-1000 nmol/l and no change was observed for the secretion of apolipoprotein A-1 and albumin which were measured as control proteins. Steady state apolipoprotein(a) mRNA concentrations paralleled the decrease in apolipoprotein(a) synthesis (-29% after incubating the cells for 48 h with 100 nmol/l insulin) indicating that the decreased synthesis is regulated at the (post)-transcriptional level. Concentrations of apolipoprotein B-100 and apolipoprotein A-1 mRNA were not changed after incubation with insulin. We conclude that high concentrations of insulin suppress apolipoprotein(a) synthesis in monkey hepatocytes at the (post)-transcriptional level. These data may provide an explanation for the increased plasma concentrations of lipoprotein(a) as found in patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

The pathogenesis of excess cardiovascular risk in type 1 diabetes is unclear. LDL cholesterol is only weakly predictive, and its concentration is often normal in type 1 diabetes. We therefore examined whether markers of LDL oxidation such as antibodies to oxidized LDL (Ab-OxLDL) and LDL-containing immune complexes, rather than LDL concentration, were predictive of coronary artery disease (CAD) in type 1 diabetes. This nested case-control study from an epidemiologic cohort study included 49 incident cases of myocardial infarction (MI), angina, or CAD death and 49 age-, sex-, and duration-matched control subjects. Ab-OxLDL was measured by enzyme immunoassay and the apolipoprotein B (ApoB) content of immune complexes (ApoB-IC) precipitated by polyethylene glycol by immunoelectrophoresis in baseline stored samples. Ab-OxLDL was inversely, and ApoB-IC directly, related to subsequent CAD. In multivariate analyses, Ab-OxLDL remained a significant independent predictor along with previously recognized predictors, hypertension and Beck depression score. In conclusion, oxidation of LDL and the immune response it elicits may play a role in predicting the development of CAD in type 1 diabetes and explain at least some of the enhanced CAD risk in type I diabetes.

To assess the effect of simvastatin on fasting and postprandial triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins in subjects with type 1 diabetes and elevated LDL cholesterol levels, eight patients participated in a simvastatin versus placebo, randomized, crossover study. At the end of each drug period fasting and postprandial lipoprotein studies were undertaken. Fasting plasma total and LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B (apo B) were significantly lower on simvastatin compared to placebo. Postprandial studies: simvastatin versus placebo consistently decreased the area under the curve (AUC, mean+/-SEM) of TG in plasma (12.52+/-9.07 versus 18.70+/-10.48 mmol x h/L, p = 0.02). Similarly, TG AUC was lower: in the chylomicron subfraction (Sf > 400) 3.24+/-2.71 versus 5.27+/-4.61 mmol x h/L p = 0.03; and in the [chylomicron remnant + VLDL] subfraction (Sf 20-400) 3.98+/-2.51 versus 7.04+/-3.88 mmol x h/L, p = 0.01. This was due to decreased particle n umber rather than size, as shown by a decrease in the AUC of apo B in Sf 20-400 (600+/-360 versus 980+/-600 mg x h/L, p = 0.02) and the lack of change in the ratio of TG/apo B. Intestinal lipoproteins contributed to the simvastatin effect, as shown by the lower AUC of retinyl esters in both subfractions. Chylomicrons: 627.61+/-363.43 versus 948.19+/-568.34 nmol x h/L, p = 0.02 and remnants: 129.23+/-67.12 versus 208.49+/-92.11 nmol x h/L, p = 0.04. Our data suggest an additional mechanism by which simvastatin can decrease the risk of atherosclerosis in patients with type I diabetes: a decrease of the number of circulating intestinal and hepatic postprandial TG-rich lipoprotein particles.

Severe IDDM (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus) was produced in the musk shrew (Suncus murimus, Insectivora) by a high dose (a single intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg/kg Body Weight) of streptozotocin (STZ) injection. All shrews that were administered a high dose of STZ exhibited hyperglycemia (449 +/- 16 mg/dl vs 73 +/- 4 mg/dl in controls) and hypoinsulinemia(0.25 +/- 0.07 ng/ml vs 10.96 +/- 1.97 ng/ml in controls) with ketosuria 10 days after injection. Their livers were enlarged and exhibited ayellowish-brown color with marked triglyceride (TG) accumulation (63.25 +/- 7.10 mg/g Liver vs 2.11 +/- 0.19 mg/g Liver in controls). It is probable that the increased influx of fatty acids into the liver induced by hypoinsulinemia and the low capacity of excretion of lipoprotein secretion from liver in the musk shrew resulting from a deficiency of apolipoprotein B synthesis play important roles in fatty liver formation. Hyperlipidemia was another feature in shrews with severe IDDM. The blood TG level was especially high in these shrews (899 +/- 178 mg/dl vs 23 +/- 5 mg/dl in controls). These results indicate that the IDDM shrew, induced by high doses of STZ, is a unique model characterized by fatty liver and hyperlipidemia and may be useful for studying lipid metabolism of IDDM.

The objective of the present study was to compare the effects of two diets on the atherogenic potential of two VLDL subfractions harvested from fasting subjects by measuring the number and composition of particles and the amount of esterified cholesterol accumulated in macrophages. A high (25%) monounsaturated fatty acid (Mono) diet and a high (61%) carbohydrate (CHO) diet were provided for 4 wk in a randomized crossover design to 19 normolipidemic, nonobese patients with type 1 diabetes. The two diets were matched for protein, polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acids, cholesterol and fiber content. The number of circulating big VLDL (S:(f) 100-400) particles was greater during the high Mono than during the high CHO diet based on the levels of apolipoprotein B (means +/- SEM): 31.4 +/- 7.4 versus 20.0 +/- 3.8 mg/L (P: < 0.025, paired t test). The following variables did not differ during the diet periods: number of small VLDL (S:(f) 20-100) particles, esterified cholesterol accumulated in THP-1 macrophages incubated with the same number of big and small VLDL particles and particle composition. We conclude that a high CHO diet might be preferable to a high Mono diet, on the basis of the premise that more big VLDL particles could increase the atherosclerotic risk in patients with diabetes.

We assessed clinical and biochemical predictors of death and/or cardiovascular disease in 147 type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients followed-up for 14 years. At follow-up, 28 of patients (19%) had died, and 25 patients (18%) had developed or died of coronary artery disease (CAD). At baseline, those who died had significantly higher serum creatinine (p=0.001) and urine albumin/creatinine ratio (p=0.016), greater prevalence of retinopathy (p=0.006), lower serum apolipoprotein A1 (p=0.046), and lower daily insulin dose (p=0.024) than those who survived. CAD patients had a longer duration of diabetes (p<0.001), were older at the onset of diabetes and at presentation (p=0.001), and had higher prevalences of retinopathy (p=0.005) and neuropathy (p=0.016). The CAD group also had higher baseline serum creatinine (p=0.02), lower HDL cholesterol (p=0.004) and apolipoprotein A1 (p=0.007) and higher LDL cholesterol (p=0.028) and apolipoprotein B concentrations (p=0.027). Under logistic regression analysis (adjusted for age and sex), baseline urine albumin/creatinine ratio (p=0.003), presence of retinopathy (p=0.004), serum creatinine (p=0.028), and serum urea (p=0.034) were the most powerful predictors of mortality, while duration of diabetes (p<0.0001), baseline HDL cholesterol (p=0.012), serum creatinine (p=0.02), apolipoprotein B (p=0.038), LDL cholesterol (p=0.039), and systolic blood pressure (p=0.055) were the strongest predictors of CAD. These findings emphasize the role of abnormal lipoprotein metabolism in the development of CAD in type 1 DM. Indicators of renal impairment and the presence of retinopathy seem to be of greater importance in predicting overall mortality.

A magnesium (Mg) deficit has been described in patients with type 1 diabetes, and it has been related to the development of cardiovascular disease. We tested the hypothesis that type 1 diabetic patients have deficits in dietary Mg intake and that proper long-term (24 weeks) oral Mg supplementation would reduce cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, the Mg status, dietary Mg intake, and the effect of Mg supplementation were evaluated in 10 type 1 diabetic patients and 5 control subjects. Muscle Mg content was decreased by 7% in the type 1 diabetic patients, and it increased by 5% after 24 weeks of oral MgO supplementation. Acute and chronic Mg supplementation decreased serum total cholesterol, serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake decreased by 35% after 24 weeks of oral MgO supplementation. Eight of 10 patients with type 1 diabetes had a daily intake of Mg below 90% of the recommended daily allowance. In conclusion, a Mg deficit was found in type 1 diabetic patients. The deficit might be due partly to a relatively Mg-deficient diet. Mg repletion was associated with a decrease in atherogenic lipid fractions and a reduced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake.

Stabilized rice bran (SRB), a source of complex carbohydrates, tocols, gamma-oryzanols, and polyphenols, was treated with carbohydrases and heat to yield two fractions, rice bran water solubles (RBWS), and rice bran fiber concentrates (RBFC). Stabilized rice bran and its fractions were fed for 60 days to insulin-dependent and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM = Type I and NIDDM = Type II) subjects to determine possible effects on serum hemoglobin, carbohydrate and lipid parameters. The Type I subjects (n = 22, 26, and 20) fed Stabilized rice bran, rice bran water solubles, and rice bran fiber concentrates plus AHA Step-1 diet reduced glycosylated hemoglobin 1%, 11%, and 10%, respectively. The fasting serum glucose levels were also reduced significantly (P < 0.01) with stabilized rice bran (9%), rice bran water solubles (29%), and rice bran fiber concentrates (19%).The Type II subjects (n = 31, and 26) fed rice bran water solubles and rice bran fiber concentrates plus AHA Step-1 diet had decreased levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (15% and 11%) and fasting glucose (33% and 22%; P < 0.001), respectively. Serum insulin levels were increased (4%) with rice bran water solubles in both types of diabetes. The reduction of glycosylated hemoglobin and a slight increase in insulin levels indicate that consumption of rice bran water solubles can control blood glucose levels in human diabetes. Serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, and triglycerides levels were reduced with rice bran fiber concentrates in the Type I (10, 16, 10, 7%) and Type II groups (12, 15, 10, 8%), respectively. These results indicate that rice bran water solubles significantly reduces hyperglycemia (P < 0.01), whereas rice bran fiber concentrates reduces hyperlipidemia (P < 0.05) in both types of diabetes. Therefore, these natural products can be used as nutritional supplements for the control of both types of diabetes mellitus in humans.

Excessive weight gain in a subset of intensively treated Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) subjects was associated with higher waist to hip ratio; higher triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) in the presence of small-dense LDL; and decreased high-density lipoprotein 2 cholesterol (HDL2-C), suggesting that weight gain in these subjects resulted in higher intraabdominal fat (IAF), and an atherosclerotic dyslipidemia mediated through hepatic lipase activity (HL). Objectives were to investigate relationships between IAF, HL, and dyslipidemia and to relate IAF to previous body mass index change during the DCCT. Sixty-one subjects were studied approximately 4 yr after DCCT closeout. IAF was positively related to HL (P < 0.001). IAF positively correlated with logTG (P < 0.001) and ApoB (P < 0.001), and negatively with LDL relative flotation rate (P < 0.001) and logHDL2-C (P = 0.001). HL accounted for most of the relationship between IAF with logHDL2-C and LDL relative flotation rate, and none of the relationship between IAF and logTG or ApoB. DCCT-related body mass index change accounted for a significant portion of logIAF variance measured 4 yr later (P < 0.001). Elevated IAF in subjects with type 1 diabetes was related to an atherosclerotic dyslipidemia similar to that seen in individuals without diabetes who have metabolic syndrome. DCCT-related weight gain positively correlated with subsequent IAF.
