Abstract

The associations between arginine-based metabolites and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D) are unknown. We employed a case-cohort design nested within the PREDIMED trial to examine six plasma metabolites (arginine, citrulline, ornithine, asymmetric dimethylarginine [ADMA], symmetric dimethylarginine [SDMA], and N-monomethyl-l-arginine [NMMA]) among 892 individuals (251 cases) for associations with incident T2D and insulin resistance. Weighted Cox models with robust variance were used. 1-year changes in arginine (Adjusted HR per SD = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.49, 0.95; Q4 vs. Q1 = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.21, 1.04, p-trend = 0.02) and arginine/ADMA ratio (Adjusted HR per SD = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.51, 1.04; Q4 vs. Q1 = 0.52, 95% CI = 0.22, 1.25, p-trend = 0.04) were associated with lower risk of T2D. Positive changes of citrulline and ornithine, and negative changes in SDMA and arginine/(ornithine+citrulline) were associated with concurrent 1-year changes in HOMA-IR. Individuals in the low fat diet group experienced higher risk of T2D for 1-year changes in NMMA than individuals in Mediterranean diet groups (p-interaction = 0.02). Arginine bioavailability is important in T2D pathophysiology. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 April 2019.
All research outputs
#4,673,750
of 25,461,852 outputs
Outputs from Diabetes, Obesity & Metabolism
#1,126
of 3,610 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#85,994
of 355,104 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diabetes, Obesity & Metabolism
#23
of 80 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,461,852 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,610 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 355,104 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 80 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
