Peptide Puzzle: Yi-Chun Chen on Early Signs of Diabetes and Obesity

Yi-Chun Chen is taking a close-up look at some of the body's hardest-working cells — the ones often processing an overabundance of modern-day food and nutrients. “From an evolutionary point of view, our cells are not designed to deal with that,” said Dr. Chen, who joined the department of Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology at the University of Saskatchewan last year as an assistant professor. She said our bodies are pushed into churning out large amounts of insulin rapidly after snacks and meals, “which makes the beta cells work extra hard.” Raised in Taiwan and inspired by her grandfather—a retired elementary school science teacher—Chen's fascination with biology first led her to work as a medical laboratory technologist, then to the world of cellular research. Using both rodent and human models, Chen is studying pancreatic beta cells: the way they process peptide hormones like insulin and how their behaviour and function is affected by an excess of nutrients. Using high-resolution imaging, she and her team are examining how both humans and mice synthesize, process, and clear peptide hormones. “There are a lot of things we still don't know about peptide hormones, not just in the pancreas, but in the brain, in the gut,” she said. “Those are fascinating.” Last year, Chen was the recipient of a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Early Career Transition Award. After moving from UBC to Saskatchewan, Dr. Chen said she's thankful to see so much support already from her established and mid-career prairie colleagues. “They can mentor us and guide us, and we also have a group of five or six young scientists,” she said. “I can envision myself working on many, many interesting projects with them.” Her goal today is to identify biomarkers that could predict diabetes far earlier. She hopes to develop biochemical assays that measure proinsulin levels to serve as an early warning system. This could enable interventions months or even years before a traditional diagnosis based on blood glucose levels. “We want to be able to predict the development of, for example, type 1 or type 2 diabetes before they are diagnosed,” said Chen. In the long term, Chen envisions both preventative strategies and regenerative therapies to fight diabetes. Stem cell-derived beta cells may be a future solution, she said. “We are making really good progress in Canada, actually. We have clinical trials. We're putting the stem cell–derived beta cells into patients with type 1 diabetes.” She hopes this will one day reduce the need for constant insulin injections, even helping curb  obesity. “Don't give up,” Chen said. “We are passionate and we want to work on many, many things.” “If you like it, keep going.”

Prednisone is a commonly used medication for its antiinflammatory and immunosuppressive action. On this episode I discuss prednisone pharmacology, ADRs, and much more. In the episode, I discuss how prednisone affects the HPA system in the body. Cortisol production can be greatly impacted by long term use of prednisone. GI adverse effects can be problematic with oral prednisone which is why we often give this medication with food or milk. Hyperglycemia is a complication from the use of prednisone. I've commonly seen blood sugar spike by 50-100+ mg/dL due to this medication. Osteoporosis is a long term risk with the use of prednisone. Prednisone can also impact the benefits of vaccination. I discuss this in greater depth in the drug interactions portion of the podcast.

Insulin Resistance: Causes of Hyperglycemia

A YouTube video transcript from "Metabolism Made Easy" explains insulin's key actions within the liver. The video details how insulin promotes glucose storage and utilization by stimulating glycogen creation and glucose breakdown. Furthermore, the transcript highlights that insulin actively suppresses the liver's production and release of glucose through the inhibition of glycogen breakdown and new glucose synthesis. Essentially, the content describes insulin's role in lowering blood glucose levels by influencing crucial metabolic pathways in the liver. When insulin resistance develops, these effects of insulin on the liver's consumption and production of glucose may become impaired, thus resulting in hyperglycemia. In addition, insulin-mediated glucose uptake by GLUt-4 transporters in muscle and adipose tissue is likely to be decreased, thus contributing further to hyperglycemia.

Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that is often used in pediatrics. Hyperglycemia, insomnia, and GI upset are relatively common adverse effects. Ibuprofen is a commonly used OTC pain reliever. It is classified as an NSAID and can increase GI bleed risk and exacerbate heart failure. Aceon is the brand name for perindopril. ACE inhibitors are well known to cause drug induced cough and will cause hyperkalemia. Trazodone is classified as an antidepressant but is frequently used to treat insomnia because of its sedative properties. Pioglitazone is an oral anti-diabetes medication that should be avoided in patients with heart failure.

Hyperglycemia Explained: The Consequences of High Blood Sugar and Why It Matters with Dr. Ben Bikman

In this episode of The Metabolic Classroom, Dr. Ben Bikman explores the metabolic implications of hyperglycemia, the condition of elevated blood glucose levels. He focuses on both the chronic effects, like those seen in diabetes, and the acute effects of glucose spikes, even from short-term dietary indulgences. Hyperglycemia, while often linked to insulin resistance and diabetes, also has a range of other negative consequences that can manifest even with occasional spikes.One of the key points Dr. Bikman discusses is the relationship between hyperglycemia and insulin. As glucose levels rise, insulin levels rise as well, which can lead to insulin resistance over time, forming a vicious cycle. He highlights studies showing that even a short-term increase in carbohydrate intake can significantly raise fasting insulin levels and triglycerides. These changes have direct consequences on metabolic health, including an increased risk for cardiovascular disease.Dr. Bikman also explains how hyperglycemia leads to oxidative stress, causing the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This oxidative stress can damage proteins, lipids, and even DNA within cells. It also contributes to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are harmful compounds formed when glucose binds irreversibly to proteins, fats, or DNA. These AGEs are linked to various diseases such as retinopathy, kidney disease, and atherosclerosis.The lecture further explores how hyperglycemia damages the endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels) and degrades the glycocalyx, a protective gel-like layer on the endothelium. This damage increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by making blood vessels more prone to atherosclerosis. Additionally, high blood glucose levels lead to the glycation and oxidation of LDL cholesterol, making it more dangerous and likely to contribute to plaque formation in arteries.Ben's favorite meal-replacement shake: https://gethlth.com (discount: BEN10)Ben's favorite electrolytes (and more): https://redmond.life (discount: BEN15)Ben's favorite allulose source: https://rxsugar.com (discount: BEN20)Ben's favorite health check-up for women: https://choosejoi.co/drben15 (discount: DRBEN15)Ben's favorite health check-up for men: https://blokes.co/drben15 (discount: DRBEN15)Ben's favorite exogenous ketone: https://www.americanketone.com (discount: Ben10)visit: https://www.insuliniq.comReferences:Due to character length constraints, references are not posted here.

Jonathan is an expert on exercise metabolism who is coming onto the podcast for the second time after speaking previously about keto diets and exercise. A major point is the difference between having chronically elevated blood glucose levels such as in diabetes (pathology) versus having normal increases in glucose ("spikes") in response to a meal. Also increases in glucose before and during very intense exercise is normal physiology and not a concern.

[17:30] Feedback Systems, Prolonged Insulin Levels, and the Balancing Act of Blood Sugar Regulation -       The body has feedback systems to stabilize blood sugar, such as the release of stored sugar (glycogen) from the liver and the ability to burn body fat for energy. -       High insulin levels, which may persist longer than elevated blood sugar, can go undetected for an extended period. -       Elevated insulin levels over time can lead to a buildup in the blood. -       High insulin levels interfere with the body's ability to utilize stored sugar from the liver, preventing it from entering the system for energy use. -       The continuous presence of insulin signals the body to store fat instead of burning it. [23:30] Protein First: A Blueprint for Satiety, Tissue Repair, and Blood Sugar Stability -       Eating protein first is recommended as it helps the body reach its protein threshold, crucial for rebuilding tissues with amino acids. -       Prioritizing protein ensures that the body receives the necessary amount of this essential macronutrient. -       When protein is consumed first, it naturally regulates appetite, making it easier to recognize satiety. -       By reaching the protein threshold, the body signals fullness, preventing overconsumption of other items on the plate. -       Protein is the most satiating macronutrient and contributes to stabilizing blood sugar levels. [33:10] Navigating Individual Responses with Continuous Glucose Monitors and Personalization -       Continuous glucose monitors are valuable tools, but individual responses to various factors must be considered. -       Personal factors such as sleep quality, exercise intensity, hormonal fluctuations, stress levels, and mineral balance can significantly impact blood sugar responses. -       The key is recognizing the need for personalization and understanding that what works for one person may not work the same way for another. -       General starting points for blood sugar management are helpful, but there is a need for more granularity and personalization. [38:50] Blood Sugar Spikes and the Silent Impact -       Some individuals may experience blood sugar spikes without feeling noticeable symptoms. -       The absence of symptoms doesn't necessarily indicate a lack of impact, and CGM helps reveal these invisible fluctuations, emphasizing the importance of monitoring beyond subjective feelings. -       Blood sugar responses vary among individuals due to factors such as sleep quality, exercise intensity, hormonal fluctuations, stress levels, and mineral balance. -       The key to effective blood sugar management lies in recognizing the need for personalization, understanding individual responses, and avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches. [57:50] Mastering Blood Sugar: A Mini-Course by Dani Hamilton for Comprehensive Management Strategies -       Dani is offering ​​a comprehensive program presented as a mini-course. It covers essential aspects of blood sugar management. -       The program delves into critical tests to request from healthcare providers, including A1c and fasting insulin. -       Also, the course explores holistic and functional approaches to interpreting test results, emphasizing the importance of considering ranges beyond mainstream medical standards.

In this Journal Club episode, The Metabolic Link Hosts Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, Dr. Angela Poff, and Victoria Field review recent research uncovering the potential impact of high blood glucose on stroke outcomes and the positive influence of exercise on Alzheimer's disease.An ischemic stroke happens when a blood vessel in the brain is occluded. This prevents oxygen and nutrients from reaching a region of the brain, ultimately causing some of that tissue to die. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts and causes bleeding into the brain, and is a less common but often more dangerous type of stroke. Hyperglycemia following an acute ischemic stroke is known as a predictor of poor clinical outcomes. In the first research paper discussed, researchers set out to explore whether this also holds true for intracerebral hemorrhage.The group also dives into a fascinating paper investigating the potential functional benefits of aerobic exercise in early Alzheimer's disease. Researchers investigated memory performance, executive function, and functional ability in association with exercise-related gains in cardiorespiratory fitness.Please find all research references below:Aerobic exercise for Alzheimer's disease: A randomized controlled pilot trialHigher fasting blood glucose was associated with worse in-hospital clinical outcomes in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage: From a large-scale nationwide longitudinal registryIn every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

Episode 135: Exercise in Diabetes    Kishan and Princess explain how exercise lowers or raises blood glucose levels in diabetes. Dr. Arreaza adds some comments about insulin resistance.  Written by Kishan Ghadiya, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Princess Enuka, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine; and Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Today is April 7, 2023. Ep. 135.Intro:It is widely known exercise is paramount for all individuals. The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly for general health. Exercise is particularly important in patients with diabetes, who require extensive lifestyle modification to manage their sugar levels. However, it is not well known how glucose metabolism changes when patients with diabetes exercise.My patient in the clinic.I recently saw in the clinic a young patient newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who asked about how his exercise was helping his sugar levels. He was confused because he heard that exercising allows for better glucose control but complained that his sugar levels were higher after exercising.To understand what is going on in this patient, it is important to understand the underlying pathophysiology of diabetes. First off, the two most common types of diabetes are type 1 and type 2. Type 1 occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin altogether. Type 2 occurs when the insulin secreted by the pancreas is no longer effective in normalizing blood sugar levels; the body is not able to utilize glucose efficiently, the number of calories consumed exceeds the body's demands, and thus increasing body weight, which leads to insulin resistance and eventually pancreatic beta-cell exhaustion. Diabetes is thus a disease state of prolonged hyperglycemia and confers many long-term complications such as accelerated cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy.How does exercise lower blood glucose? Once patients are diagnosed with diabetes, management is lifelong, and it takes considerable mental and physical effort to manage this change in health. Exercise is a key metric in diabetic management because lowering blood sugar is as simple as using excess glucose to create energy in our muscles. There are two main mechanisms in how exercise has a positive effect on diabetes. The first mechanism is that exercise directly increases insulin sensitivity by enhancing the muscles' ability to effectively respond to insulin, thus allowing for better use of insulin on board (IOB). This benefit is not only seen during exercise itself but also up to 24 hours after exercise is complete. This means many patients with controlled diabetes can see a euglycemic effect up to 1 day after exercise.The second mechanism is that increased glucose uptake into muscle does not require insulin secretion. In other words, active muscle use during exercise allows for glucose uptake even without the use of any insulin and is very effective in lowering blood sugar levels. Muscles have a higher metabolic rate than fat tissue. It means that even without exercising, a person with a higher muscle mass has a higher basal metabolic rate.What type of exercise would be the most effective in controlling blood sugar? The data is very clear that there is no relationship between exercise technique and glucose level, but there is a relationship between exercise intensity and glucose levels. In other words, patients wanting better blood sugar outcomes may choose whatever exercise regimen as long as they are able to do high-intensity exercise (i.e., resistance training, strength training, High-intensity interval training, HIIT).Anaerobic vs. aerobicBlood sugar levels during exercise will be different based on the types of exercise patients choose. For example, high-intensity anaerobic exercise (such as weightlifting) causes large spikes of blood sugar because the liver creates large amounts of glucose for anaerobic glycolysis. On the other hand, high-intensity aerobic exercise (such as running) confers lower blood glucose. Keep in mind both types of exercise confer excellent long-term patient outcomes, but the disparity in blood sugar is important to note as it can lead to confusion in patients that are very actively monitoring their sugar levels.Hyperglycemia after anaerobic exercise.So, returning to my patient mentioned above, further history revealed that he does weightlifting two or three times a week. Hyperglycemia would therefore be expected during and immediately after anaerobic exercise due to large amounts of glycolysis requiring the liver to create sugar. This patient's increased blood sugar seen after exercising would not be a cause for concern as this is part of normal human body physiology.___________________________________Conclusion:  Now we conclude episode number 135, “Exercise in Diabetes.” Kishan explained that exercise improves insulin sensitivity and promotes muscle growth for improved glucose metabolism. Princess explained that anaerobic exercise may cause a transient rise in glucose while aerobic exercise causes glucose control over a longer period. Dr. Arreaza explained that insulin sensitivity is lost when we give frequent “high shots of sugar” to our body.This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Kishan Ghadiya, and Princess Enuka.

One of the most relaxing feelings for a person with diabetes is checking your blood sugar and seeing the numbers right in line. For a diabetic patient, controlling blood sugar isn't just a short-term goal. It helps prevent diabetes complications like heart disease, vision loss, and kidney and nerve diseases.  Diabetic people must try and manage their blood sugars through key lifestyle changes as much as possible.  What is blood sugar? Blood sugar, also known as glucose, is the main sugar found in human blood. It comes from the food you eat and gives your body energy.  High blood sugar levels cause diabetes, a disease associated with severe problems. A low blood sugar level is also common, and therefore, it is important to manage your blood sugar levels within the target range.  Lifestyle Habits that Naturally Help Manage Blood Sugar Levels Manage your Carb Intake  Carb intake greatly influences blood sugar levels. The body breaks carbs down into sugars, mainly glucose. Insulin then helps the body use and store it for energy. Eating too many carbs makes this process fail, and blood glucose levels can rise.  A low-carb diet helps reduce blood sugar levels and prevent blood sugar spikes. Prioritizing whole grains over processed ones and refined carbs offers greater nutritional value while helping manage your blood sugar levels.  Eat More Fiber A high-fiber diet helps improve the body's ability to regulate blood sugar and minimize blood sugar lows.  Foods that are high in fiber include; vegetables, whole grains, fruits, and legumes.   Observe Quantity Eating Control  One way to regulate calorie intake and maintain a moderate weight is by eating in moderation.  Healthy feeding with monitored serving sizes helps regulate blood sugar levels and prevents highs and lows.  Some helpful tips for managing portion sizes include;  Serving on smaller plates Measuring and weighing food portions Keeping a food journal Reading food labels and adhering to recommended serving sizes Exercise Regularly Regular exercise helps increase insulin sensitivity and the body's ability to use glucose as energy effectively.  The right amount of activity and timing should always be observed. Some health-recommended exercises include light walking and simple resistance exercises like squats or leg raises. Other helpful exercises include running, biking, swimming, dancing, and brisk walking.     Drink Water and Stay Hydrated Staying hydrated helps control blood sugar levels. Water helps kidneys flush out any excess sugar through urine.  Drinking water regularly helps rehydrate the blood, lower blood sugar levels, and reduce diabetes risk. Water and zero-calorie drinks are recommended. It would be best to avoid sugar-sweetened options since they can raise blood glucose, drive weight gain, and increase diabetes risk.  Manage your Stress Levels When you are stressed, your blood sugar tends to rise. When stressed, the body secretes hormones called glucagon and cortisol, which cause blood sugar levels to rise.  Exercise and mindfulness-based relaxation methods like yoga help to significantly reduce stress and lower blood sugar levels.  Get Enough Quality Sleep Adequate sleep and rest help with blood sugar control. Adequate sleep involves both quantity and quality.  Health experts recommend that adults get at least 7-8 hours of high-quality sleep per night.  Some useful tips to improve the quality of your sleep include; Follow a suitable sleep schedule by creating a bedtime routine Ensure your bedroom is cool Avoid taking caffeine and alcohol in the hours before bed Reduce screen time before bed, including TV, Computers, tablets, and cell phones.  Maintain a Moderate Weight Maintaining a moderate weight promotes healthy blood sugar levels and reduces your risk of developing diabetes.  Weight-loss goals don't have to be enormous. Research has proven that a 5% to 10% weight loss has helped improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.  There are many health-recommended ways to naturally manage your blood sugar levels. The main improvements are associated with dietary choices. Lifestyle changes like weight management, exercising, handling stress, staying hydrated and quality sleep are also key in controlling blood sugar levels.   You may consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC, to learn more natural measures to control your blood sugar.

Drexel University, April 25, 2022 In late 2020, Canadian doctors made headlines for “prescribing nature,” or recommended time outdoors based on research that suggests people who spent two or more hours in nature per week improved their health and wellbeing. Knowing this, transdisciplinary researchers from Drexel University investigated how nature relatedness – simply feeling connected with the natural world – benefits dietary diversity and fruit and vegetable intake, in a study recently published the American Journal of Health Promotion. “Nature relatedness has been associated with better cognitive, psychological and physical health and greater levels of environmental stewardship. Our findings extend this list of benefits to include dietary intake,” said Brandy-Joe Milliron, PhD, at Drexel's College of Nursing and Health Professions and lead author of the publication. “We found people with higher nature relatedness were more likely to report healthful dietary intake, including greater dietary variety and higher fruit and vegetable consumption.” The research team surveyed over 300 adults in Philadelphia to measure their self-reported connection to nature, including their experience with and perspective of nature, and the foods and beverages they had consumed the previous day to assess their dietary diversity and estimate their daily fruit and vegetable consumption. (NEXT) Overnight fasting may reduce breast cancer risk in women  University of California at San Diego, April 20, 2022 A decrease in the amount of time spent eating and an increase in overnight fasting reduces glucose levels and may reduce the risk of breast cancer among women, report University of California, San Diego School of Medicine researchers in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. "Increasing the duration of overnight fasting could be a novel strategy to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. This is a simple dietary change that we believe most women can understand and adopt. It may have a big impact on public health without requiring complicated counting of calories or nutrients." Women who fasted for longer periods of time overnight had significantly better control over blood glucose concentrations. The data shows that each three hour increase in nighttime fasting was associated with a 4 percent lower postprandial glucose level, regardless of how much women ate. Women in the study reported eating five times per day with a mean nighttime fasting of 12 hours. Those who reported longer fast durations also indicated they consumed fewer calories per day, ate fewer calories after 10 p.m. and had fewer eating episodes. (NEXT) Micronutrients (vitamins + minerals) show benefit for children with ADHD and emotional dysregulation Evidence from a randomized clinical trial shows broad-spectrum micronutrient supplementation with all known vitamins and essential minerals resulted in global improvement of attention and mood based on blinded clinician ratings Oregon Health & Science University, April 26, 2022   A study in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) reports that children with ADHD and emotional regulation randomized to take a micronutrient formula were three times more likely to show symptomatic improvement on blinded clinician ratings, compared to those in the placebo group (54% versus 18%). The micronutrient formula, consisting of all known vitamins and essential minerals, was administered for eight weeks. (NEXT) Raspberry, a Promising Alternative in the Treatment of Hyperglycemia and Dyslipidemias University of Guadajara (Mexico), 11 April 2022 Raspberry production and consumption have increased in recent years due to its polyphenol content such as anthocyanins and ketones, bioactive compounds that have been studied to reduce blood glucose levels and stabilize the blood lipid profile. Original articles from in vitro and in vivo enzyme inhibition studies, animal models, and human clinical studies were compiled in PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct databases. Studies showed satisfactory results regarding blood glucose level reduction after consumption of frozen or lyophilized raspberry, infusion of raspberry leaves, seed oil, as well as compounds, extracted from the fruit by inhibiting enzymes such as α-glucosidase and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) and other mechanisms that increase insulin production and insulin sensitivity. A reduction in cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels is reported, as well as an increase in high-density lipoproteins. A According to the results, raspberry can be included in the nonpharmacological treatment of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemias; however, further research is considered necessary.
