We also investigated whether the effect of energy restriction can be further enhanced by modification of dietary protein source and calcium. METHODS: Liver metabolomic profile of lean and obese C57BI/6J mice (n = 10/group) were compared with two groups of weight-reduced mice. ER was performed on control diet and whey protein-based high-calcium diet (whey + Ca). The metabolomic analyses were performed using the UPLC/MS based lipidomic platform and the HPLC/MS/MS based primary metabolite platform.RESULTS: ER on both diets significantly reduced hepatic lipid accumulation and lipid droplet size, while only whey + Ca diet significantly decreased blood glucose (P 〈 0.001) and serum insulin (P 〈 0.01). In hepatic lipid species the biggest reduction was in the level of triacylglycerols and cerarnides while the level of cholesterol esters was significantly increased during ER. Interestingly, diacylglycerol to phospholipid ratio, an indicator of relative amount of diabetogenic diglyceride species, was increased in the control ER group, but decreased in the whey + Ca ER group (P 〈 0.001, vs obese). ER on whey + Ca diet also totally reversed the obesity induced increase in the relative level of lipotoxic cerarnides (P 〈 0.001, vs obese; P 〉 0.05, vs lean). These changes were accompanied with up-regulated TCA cycle and pentose phosphate pathway rnetabolites. CONCLUSION: ER-induced changes on hepatic rnetabolornic profile can be significantly affected by dietary protein source. The therapeutic potential of whey protein and calcium should be further studied.展开更多

In this study, we explored the effectiveness of intermittent protein restriction(IPR)in diabetes control. IPR drastically reduced hyperglycemia in both streptozotocin-treated and leptin receptor-deficient db/db mouse models. IPR improved the number, proliferation, and function of β cells in pancreatic islets. IPR reduced glucose production in the liver and elevated insulin signaling in the skeletal muscle. IPR elevated serum level of FGF21, and deletion of the Fgf21 gene in the liver abrogated the hypoglycemic effect of IPR without affecting β cells. IPR caused less lipid accumulation and damage in the liver than that caused by continuous protein restriction in streptozotocin-treated mice. Single-cell RNA sequencing using mouse islets revealed that IPR reversed diabetes-associated β cell reduction and immune cell accumulation. As IPR is not based on calorie restriction and is highly effective in glycemic control and β cell protection, it has promising translational potential in the future.展开更多
