Abstract: Intermittent fasting (IF) activates autophagy in cardiac muscle and pancreatic islets. We examined the effect of IF on markers of autophagy in liver and skeletal muscle in mice and in humans. Ten-wk-old C57 BL/6 J male mice were ad libitum (AL) fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or chow diet for 8 wk, before randomization to AL or IF (24-h fast, 3 non-consecutive days per week) for 8 wk (8-16 per group). Tissue was collected in the fed or 22-h fasted state. Fifty women (51 ± 2 y, 31.8 ± 4.3 kg/m Fasting increased hepatic LC3 I protein and Map1 lc3 b mRNA levels in IF mice fed chow or HFD. LAMP1 protein and Beclin1 mRNA levels in liver were also increased by fasting, but only in chow-fed mice. IF did not activate markers of autophagy in mouse muscle. In humans, a 24-h fast increased SQSTM1. BECLIN1, SQSTM1 and LAMP2 mRNA levels were decreased in IF70 after a 12-h overnight fast . Markers of autophagy in liver, but not in muscle, were elevated in response to IF in mice. In humans, autophagy markers in muscle were reduced, likely in response to weight loss.

Abstract: Time-restricted feeding (TRF) initiated early during the dark phase prevents the metabolic consequences of a high-fat diet in rodent models. However, the metabolic consequences of delaying the initiation of TRF, akin to breakfast skipping in humans, is unclear. We assigned 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice ( n = 192) to chow or high-fat diet ad libitum (AL) for 4 weeks, before randomization to continue AL or 10 h of TRF, initiated at lights off (TRFe) or 4-h after lights off (TRFd) for a further 8 weeks. Oral glucose tolerance tests (1 g/kg), metabolic monitoring and body composition by echoMRI were performed, and tissues were collected at six time points. TRF reduced weight and fat mass vs AL, with a greater reduction in TRFe vs TRFd. TRF improved glucose tolerance and protected mice from high-fat diet-induced hepatosteatosis vs AL, with no difference between TRFe and TRFd. TRF increased the litude of Bmal1 , Cry1 , Per2 , N t , and Nocturnin mRNA levels in liver. A phase delay in Bmal1 , Cry1 , Per2 , Reverbα , N t , NAD, Sirt1 , and Nocturnin was observed in TRFd. Thus, delaying TRF limited the weight benefit and induced a phase delay in the hepatic clock, but improved metabolic health. Allowing more flexibility in when TRF is initiated may increase the translational potential of this dietary approach in humans.

Abstract: The most common apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene polymorphism has been found to influence plasma lipid concentration and its correlation with coronary artery disease (CAD) has been extensively investigated in the last decade. It is, however, unclear whether apoE gene polymorphism is also associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The knowledge of this study may provide the primary prevention for T2DM and CAD development before its initiation and progression. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine the association between apoE gene polymorphism and T2DM with and without CAD and its role in lipid metabolism. The case-control study was carried out on a total of 451 s les including 149 normal control subjects, 155 subjects with T2DM, and 147 subjects with T2DM complicated with CAD. The apoE gene polymorphism was tested by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify the possible risks of T2DM and CAD. A significantly increased frequency of E3/E4 genotype was observed only in T2DM with CAD group (p = 0.0004), whereas the ε4 allele was significantly higher in both T2DM (p = 0.047) and T2DM with CAD (p = 0.009) as compared with controls. E3/E4 genotype was also the independent risk in developing CAD after adjusting with established risk factors with adjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.52 (95%CI 1.28-4.97, p = 0.008). The independent predictor of in iduals carrying ε4 allele still remained significantly associated with both CAD (adjusted OR 2.32, 95%CI 1.17-4.61, p = 0.016) and T2DM (adjusted OR 2.04, 95%CI 1.07-3.86, p = 0.029). After simultaneously examining the joint association of E3/E4 genotype combined with either obesity or smoking the risk increased to approximately 5-fold in T2DM (adjusted OR 4.93, 95%CI 1.74-13.98, p = 0.003) and 10-fold in CAD (adjusted OR 10.48, 95%CI 3.56-30.79, p 0.0001). The association between apoE genotypes on plasma lipid levels was compared between E3/E3 as a reference and E4-bearing genotypes. E4-bearing genotypes showed lower HDL-C and higher VLDL-C and TG, whereas other values of plasma lipid concentrations showed no significant difference. These results indicate that ε4 allele has influence on lipid profiles and is associated with the development of both T2DM with and without CAD, and furthermore, it increased the risk among the subjects with obesity and/or smoking, the conditions associated with high oxidative stress.
