We aimed to study the role of Apolipoprotein B (Apo-B) polymorphisms (Ins/Del and EcoRI) and genotype interaction on lipid profiles and atherogenic indices in response to changes in dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) of diet. This cross-sectional study consisted of 700 diabetic patients. Biochemical markers including total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG), superoxide dismutase (SOD), C-reactive protein (CRP), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), interlukin-18 (IL-18), and Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) were measured based on standard protocols. Genotyping of the Apo-B polymorphisms was conducted by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Subjects with Ins/Ins genotype with higher DTAC intake had lower TG, AIP, and AC compared to Del-allele carriers. Moreover, A-allele carriers (EcoRI) with a higher median intake of DTAC had lower body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) compared to GG homozygotes. For combined genotypes, the EcoRI only variant (Ins/Ins and AA + AG) with higher DTAC intake had lower BMI and WC. Moreover, Ins/Del only variant (Ins/del + del/del and GG) with more adherence to DTAC had higher TG and AIP. Our study showed that Apo-B polymorphisms interact with the antioxidant capacity of diet to ameliorate the risk of cardio-metabolic diseases, especially atherosclerosis in the A carriers of EcoR1 and Ins/Ins homozygous of Ins/Del polymorphism.

ApoB insertion/deletion (ins/del) genetic variant (rs11279109) is thought to be related to cardio-metabolic markers and obesity. This association has the potential to be modified by dietary patterns. Since the majority of studies concerned the role of dietary acid load (DAL) or ApoB in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications independently, and due to the insufficient data regarding the possible interactions between ApoB genetic variants and DAL on anthropometric and metabolic markers, we aimed to study the interaction between this genetic variant and dietary acid load (DAL) on cardio-metabolic markers, along with leptin among Iranian individuals with T2DM. 700 T2DM patients were randomly recruited. A validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used for DAL calculation including potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net-endogenous acid production (NEAP). The polymerase chain reaction was used for genotyping the ApoB ins/del (rs11279109). The general linear model was applied to find the interactions in the crude and adjusted models. Patients with del/del genotype (rs11279109) with high PRAL intake have lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P Show less

Gene-diet interaction plays a key role in the inter-individual differences in lipid abnormalities as a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Thus, we explored the interaction between CETP TaqB1 polymorphism with dietary acid load (DAL) on lipid profile among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This cross-sectional study conducted on 220 Iranian patients with T2DM. Dietary acid load (PRAL and NEAP) was calculated via a validated food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) used for genotyping Taq1B polymorphism. Biochemical markers were measured by standard protocol. The interaction between CETP Taq1B polymorphism and DAL (PRAL and NEAP) on lipid profile was performed by a generalized linear regression model (GLM). The overall prevalence of rs708272 genotypes was 8.6%, 72.7% and 18.6% for B1B1, B1B2 and B2B2 genotype respectively. This study showed that people with the B1B1 genotype had greater LDL, TC, LDL/HDL, and TG when they consumed diets that scored higher on the NEAP and PRAL indexes than those with the B1B2 and B2B2 genotypes. Besides, carriers of the B1B1 allele who were in the highest tertile of NEAP, had lower HDL (P Interaction < 0.05). In summary, the lipid profile might be improved in B1B1 homozygotes by less adherence to DAL indexes, however, the findings should be validated in high-quality interventional studies. Show less

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multidimensional consequence of environmental and genetic factors. Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) Taq1B polymorphism has been reported as a main predictor of dyslipidaemia, comprising an important complication in persons with T2DM. However, diet could affect T2DM patients metabolic health. We investigated the combination of gene-diet effects on some metabolic biomarkers. In our cross-sectional study, blood samples of 220 patients were collected. Dietary indices (healthy eating index, dietary quality index and dietary phytochemical index) were obtained from a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. CETP Taq1B polymorphism was genotyped by a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment polymorphism method. Data were analysed by analysis of covariance. The interaction between the CETP Taq1B polymorphism and dietary indices on low density lipoprotein/high density lipoprotein was significant (p < 0.001 both crude and adjusted models). In addition, the interaction between polymorphism and dietary quality index on total antioxidant capacity (p = 0.004 crude model, p = 0.005 after adjusting) and pentraxin 3 (p = 0.01 both crude and adjusted models) was significant. Also, the interaction between polymorphism and healthy eating index on waist circumference (p = 0.005 both crude and adjusted models) and dietary phytochemical index on interleukin-18 (p = 0.03 crude model) was significant. Our results indicated the effect of CETP Taq1B polymorphism on some inflammatory and anthropometrics markers (total antioxidant capacity, pentraxin 3, interleukin-18, low density lipoprotein/high density lipoprotein and waist circumference) with high and low adherence to dietary incides.

Gene-diet interactions may play an important role in the inter individual diversity observed in on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Therefore, in the current study, we examined the interaction of CETP TaqB1 polymorphism with dietary insulin index and load (DII and DIL), in altering on CVD risk factors among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this cross-sectional study, blood samples were collected from 220 type 2 diabetic patients (134 females and 86 male) with a mean age of 52.24 years in Tehran, Iran. DIL and DII were obtained via validated food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Taq1B polymorphism was genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Biochemical markers including total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG), superoxide dismutase (SOD), C-reactive protein (CRP), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), pentraxin-3 (PTX3), isoprostaneF2α (PGF2α). interleukin 18 (IL18), leptin and ghrelin were measured by standard protocol. Patients with B1B1 genotype had lower lipid profiles include LDL/HDL (P < 0.001) and TG (P = 0.04) when they consumed diets higher on the DIL and DII index. Moreover, carriers of B2B2 genotype who were in the last tertile of DIL had higher antioxidant and inflammatory markers include SOD (P = 0.01), PGF2α (P = 0.04) and CRP (P = 0.02). Further, a significant interaction between CETP TaqB1 and DII was shown in terms of WC (P = 0.01), where the highest WC were observed in B2B2 genotype carriers following a DII score. However, the highest inflammatory and antioxidant markers include CRP (P = 0.04), TAC (P = 0.01), SOD (P = 0.02), and PGF2α (P = 0.02) were observed in B2B2 genotype carriers when they consumed diets higher on the DII index. Based on the current study, it could be proposed that CETP polymorphism may be associated with CVD risk factors in T2DM patients with high following insulin indices, including DII and DIL. It seems that CETP Taq1B polymorphism can invert the result produced by insulin. This conclusion illustrates that the CETP Taq1B B1 allele could counteract the CVD risk induced by high DII and DIL.

Dyslipidemia is one of the major complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Dietary fat intake and genetic factors including CETP Taq1B polymorphism could also affect lipid profile concentrations, in particular HDL-c. We decided to study the frequency of this polymorphism and its interaction with dietary fat intake on HDL-c concentration among Iranian T2DM patients with and without dyslipidemia. In this comparative study, serum samples were collected from 55 patients with dyslipidemia and 129 patients without dyslipidemia. Validated semi-quantitative FFQ was used for food consumption data. CETP Taq1B polymorphism was studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). We used χ The frequency of B1B1 genotype was higher in patients with dyslipidemia (p = 0.01). There was no significant relationship between CETP Taq1B polymorphism and lipid profile concentrations. In patients without dyslipidemia, the interaction between the polymorphism and total fat intake on HDL-c concentration as well as TG/HDL ratio was significant (p = 0.02 and p = 0.009 respectively). This was more evident in B1B1 genotype. Moreover, HDL-c concentration was significantly higher in B2B2 genotype with low total fat intake. Higher total fat intake may affect the relationship between CETP Taq1B polymorphism and HDL-c concentration in patients with normolipidemic T2DM. Show less
