Abstract：
:The pathophysiology of diabetic nephropathy (DN) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients is minimally understood. We compared untargeted high-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) orbitrap-based plasma metabolomic profiles of 31 T2D-DN (with estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤80 mL/min/1.73 m2), 29 T2D and 30 normal glucose tolerance (NGT) Indian men. Of the 939 plasma metabolites that were differentially abundant amongst the NGT, T2D and T2D-DN (ANOVA, False Discovery Rate - FDR adjusted p-value < 0.05), 48 were associated with T2D irrespective of the renal function of the subjects. Acyl ethanolamides and acetylcholine were decreased while monoacylglycerols (MAGs) and cortisol were elevated in both T2D and T2D-DN. Sixteen metabolites, including amino acid metabolites Imidazolelactate and N-Acetylornithine, changed significantly between NGT, T2D and T2D-DN. 192 metabolites were specifically dysregulated in T2D-DN (ratio ≥2 or ≤0.5 between T2D-DN and T2D, similar abundance in NGT and T2D). These included increased levels of multiple acylcarnitine and amino acid metabolites. We observed a significant dysregulation of amino acid and fatty acid metabolism in South Asian Indian male T2D-DN subjects. Unique to this study, we report a reduction in acyl ethanolamide levels in both T2D and T2D-DN males. Those with dysregulation in acyl ethanolamides, which are endogenous agonists of GPR119, are likely to exhibit improved glycemic control with GPR119 agonists.
