Methods: A total of 360 individuals with type 2 diabetes, HbA1c 6.5\% to 10.0\% (48-86 mmol/ mol), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >= 30 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and urinary albumin-tocreatinine ratio (UACR) 30-3000 mg/g despite single agent renin-angiotensin-system blockade were randomized to double-blind linagliptin (n = 182) or placebo (n = 178) for 24 weeks. The primary and key secondary endpoints were change from baseline in HbA1c at week 24 and time-weighted average of percentage change from baseline in UACR over 24 weeks, respectively. Results: Baseline mean HbA1c and geometric mean (gMean) UACR were 7.8\% +/- 0.9\% (62.2 +/- 9.6 mmol/mol) and 126 mg/g, respectively; 73.7\% and 20.3\% of participants had microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria, respectively. After 24 weeks, the placebo-adjusted mean change in HbA1c from baseline was -0.60\% (-6.6 mmol/mol) (95\% confidence interval [CI], -0.78 to -0.43 [-8.5 to -4.7 mmol/mol]; P <.0001). The placebo-adjusted gMean for time-weighted average of percentage change in UACR from baseline was -6.0\% (95\% CI, -15.0 to 3.0; P =.1954). The adverse-event profile, including renal safety and change in eGFR, was similar between the linagliptin and placebo groups. Conclusions: In individuals at early stages of diabetic kidney disease, linagliptin significantly improved glycaemic control but did not significantly lower albuminuria. There was no significant change in placebo-adjusted eGFR. Detection of clinically relevant renal effects of linagliptin may require longer treatment, as its main experimental effects in animal studies have been to reduce interstitial fibrosis rather than alter glomerular haemodynamics.}, language = {en} } @misc{HocherTsuprykov2017, author = {Hocher, Berthold and Tsuprykov, Oleg}, title = {Renoprotective effects of GLP1R agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors}, series = {Nature reviews nephroloy}, volume = {13}, journal = {Nature reviews nephroloy}, publisher = {Nature Publ.

Highest arsenic concentrations are found in seafood, where arsenic is present predominantly in its organic forms including arsenolipids. Since recent studies have provided evidence that arsenolipids could reach the brain of an organism and exert toxicity in fully differentiated human neurons, this work aims to assess the neurodevelopmental toxicity of arsenolipids. Methods and results: Neurodevelopmental effects of three arsenic-containing hydrocarbons (AsHC), two arsenic-containing fatty acids (AsFA), arsenite and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA(V)) were characterized in pre-differentiated human neurons. AsHCs and arsenite caused substantial cytotoxicity in a similar, low concentration range, whereas AsFAs and DMA(V) were less toxic. AsHCs were highly accessible for cells and exerted pronounced neurodevelopmental effects, with neurite outgrowth and the mitochondrial membrane potential being sensitive endpoints; arsenite did not substantially decrease those two endpoints. In fully differentiated neurons, arsenite and AsHCs caused neurite toxicity. Conclusion: These results indicate for a neurodevelopmental potential of AsHCs. Taken into account the possibility that AsHCs might easily reach the developing brain when exposed during early life, neurotoxicity and neurodevelopmental toxicity cannot be excluded. Further studies are needed in order to progress the urgently needed risk assessment.}, language = {en} } @article{GoetzChmielewskiGoedekeetal.2017, author = {Goetz, Klaus-Peter and Chmielewski, Frank M. and Goedeke, Kristin and Wolf, Kristine and Jander, Elisabeth and Sievers, Steven and Homann, Thomas and Huschek, Gerd and Rawel, Harshadrai Manilal}, title = {Assessment of amino acids during winter rest and ontogenetic development in sweet cherry buds (Prunus avium.

The presented results are to our knowledge the first under natural conditions in fruit tree orchards with a high temporal resolution from the dormant stage until cluster development. The N content in the buds from October, during endo- and ecodormancy until the beginning of ontogenetic development was a relatively stable parameter in each of the four seasons. The N accumulation into the buds began after 'swollen bud' and significant differences were visible at 'green tip' with an N content of 3.24, 3.12, 3.08, 2.40 which increased markedly to the mean of 'tight' and 'open cluster' by 3.77\%, 3.78\%, 3.44\% and 3.10\% in 2012-2015, respectively. In the buds, levels of asparagine were higher (up to 44 mg g\&\#8722;1 DW\&\#8722;1) than aspartic acid (up to 2 mg g\&\#8722;1 DW\&\#8722;1) and aspartic acid higher than isoleucine (up to 0.83 mg g\&\#8722;1 DW\&\#8722;1). Levels of glutamine were higher (up to 25 mg g\&\#8722;1 DW\&\#8722;1) than glutamic acid (up to 20 mg g\&\#8722;1 DW\&\#8722;1). The course of the arginine content was higher in 2011/12 compared to 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 which showed only slight differences. The alanine content in the buds was denoted in the four seasons only by relatively minor changes. The histidine content was higher in 2011/12 and 2012/13 compared to 2013/14 and 2014/15 which showed a comparable pattern. For 6 amino acids (Asn, Asp, Ile, Glu, Arg, Ala), the highest content was observed in 2012/13, the warmest period between swollen bud and open cluster. However in 2014/15, the season with the lowest mean temperature of 8.8 °C, only the content of Gln was the lowest. It was not possible to explain any seasonal differences in the amino acid content by environmental factors (air temperature) on the basis of few seasons. From none of the measured free amino acids could a clear determination of the date of endodormancy release (t1) or the beginning of the ontogenetic development (t1*) be derived. Therefore, these amino acids are no suitable markers to improve phenological models for the beginning of cherry blossom.}, language = {en} } @article{WittMeyerEbertetal.2017, author = {Witt, Barbara and Meyer, S{\"o}ren and Ebert, Franziska and Francesconi, Kevin A. and Schwerdtle, Tanja}, title = {Toxicity of two classes of arsenolipids and their water-soluble metabolites in human differentiated neurons}, series = {Archives of toxicology : official journal of EUROTOX}, volume = {91}, journal = {Archives of toxicology : official journal of EUROTOX}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Heidelberg}, issn = {0340-5761}, doi = {10.1007/s00204-017-1933-x}, pages = {3121 -- 3134}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Arsenolipids are lipid-soluble organoarsenic compounds, mainly occurring in marine organisms, with arsenic-containing hydrocarbons (AsHCs) and arsenic-containing fatty acids (AsFAs) representing two major subgroups. Recently, toxicity studies of several arsenolipids showed a high cytotoxic potential of those arsenolipids in human liver and bladder cells. Furthermore, feeding studies with Drosophila melanogaster indicated an accumulation of arsenolipids in the fruit fly's brain. In this study, the neurotoxic potential of three AsHCs, two AsFAs and three metabolites (dimethylarsinic acid, thio/oxo-dimethylarsenopropanoic acid) was investigated in comparison to the toxic reference arsenite (iAsIII) in fully differentiated human brain cells (LUHMES cells). Thereby, in the case of AsHCs both the cell number and cell viability were reduced in a low micromolar concentration range comparable to iAsIII, while AsFAs and the applied metabolites were less toxic. Mechanistic studies revealed that AsHCs reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential, whereas neither iAsIII nor AsFAs had an impact. Furthermore, neurotoxic mechanisms were investigated by examining the neuronal network. Here, AsHCs massively disturbed the neuronal network and induced apoptotic effects, while iAsIII and AsFAs showed comparatively lesser effects. Taking into account the substantial in vitro neurotoxic potential of the AsHCs and the fact that they could transfer across the physiological barriers of the brain, a neurotoxic potential in vivo for the AsHCs cannot be excluded and needs to be urgently characterized.}, language = {en} } @article{ErbersdoblerBarthJahreis2017, author = {Erbersdobler, Helmut F. and Barth, Christian A. and Jahreis, Gerhard}, title = {K{\"o}rnerleguminosen in der Humanern{\"a}hrung}, series = {Ern{\"a}hrungs-Umschau : Forschung \& Praxis}, volume = {64}, journal = {Ern{\"a}hrungs-Umschau : Forschung \& Praxis}, number = {10}, publisher = {Umschau-Zeitschriftenverl.}, address = {Frankfurt, Main}, issn = {0174-0008}, doi = {10.4455.eu.2017.034}, pages = {140 -- 144}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Fortsetzung aus Ern{\"a}hrungs Umschau Heft 9/2017 Fetts{\"a}urenverteilung Die Gehalte an den wichtigsten Fetts{\"a}uren (FS) sind in • Tabelle 4 und 5 aufgef{\"u}hrt, in g/100 g sowie in Prozent des Fettanteils (Etherextrakt bzw. g FS-Methylester pro 100 g der Summe der FS-Methylester).

Feed restriction and/or exercise are known to alleviate the detrimental effects of insulin resistance in obese ponies. However, little is known about changes in the serum lipid patterns due to weight reduction and its association with disease outcomes. Therefore, the lipid patterns in the serum of 14 mature ponies before and after a 14-week body weight reduction program (BWRP) were investigated by multi-one-dimensional thin-layer chromatography (MOD-TLC). Additionally, sensitivity to insulin (SI), body condition scores (BCS) and cresty neck scores (CNS) were measured. A BWRP resulted in a significant loss of body weight (P < 0.001), which was associated with beneficial decreases in BCS and CNS (both, P < 0.001). Serum lipid compositions revealed significantly increased free fatty acid (FFA), sphingomyelin (SM; both P < 0.001), total cholesterol (C) and cholesterol ester (CE) (both P < 0.01) and triacylglycerol (TG; P < 0.05) densities. Improvement of SI after the BWRP was associated with increases in neutral lipids (C, CE and TG, all P < 0.01), FFA and the phospholipid SM (both, P < 0.001). The results show that a BWRP in obese ponies was effective and associated with changes in the concentrations of neutral lipids and the phospholipid SM, indicating that SM may play a role in insulin signaling pathways and thus in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and the progression of metabolic syndrome in obese ponies.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Weitkunat2017, author = {Weitkunat, Karolin}, title = {Dietary fibers and short-chain fatty acids in the development of diet-induced obesity}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {121}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{BoenickHuschekRawel2017, author = {B{\"o}nick, Josephine and Huschek, Gerd and Rawel, Harshadrai Manilal}, title = {Determination of wheat, rye and spelt authenticity in bread by targeted peptide biomarkers}, series = {Journal of Food Composition and Analysis}, volume = {58}, journal = {Journal of Food Composition and Analysis}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {San Diego}, issn = {0889-1575}, doi = {10.1016/j.jfca.2017.01.019}, pages = {82 -- 91}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Adulteration of food and mislabeled products in global market is a major financial and reputational risk for food manufacturers and trade companies.

Peptide markers for wheat (SQQQISQQPQQLPQQQQIPQQPQQF; QQHQIPQQPQQFPQQQQF and QPHQPQQPYPQQ), spelt (ASIVVGIGGQ; SQQPGQIIPQQPQQPSPL) and rye (LPQSHKQHVGQGAL; AQVQGIIQPQQL and QQFPQQPQQSFPQQPQQPVPQQPL) were identified, verified by protein Basic Local Alignment Search Tool and database research and used for quantification in bread. The specific use of multi-reaction monitoring transitions of selected peptides permitted the identification of closely related species wheat and spelt. Other cereal species (emmer, einkorn, barley, maize, rye and oat) were also checked. The target peptides were quantified at different levels using own reference baked products (bread) after in-solution chymotryptic digestion. Sensitivity of the identification was 0.5-1\% using flour-based (0-25\%) matrix calibration and the analytical recovery in bread was 80-125\%.
