Interaction Information:

Comment Ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) subjects had elevated initial HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose levels 4-12 weeks after the index diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) episode. Characteristically, HbA1c was markedly improved 3-6 months after the index DKA, when the patients were on low doses of insulin or off insulin. Fasting C-peptide was higher in control subjects. The C-peptide/glucose ratio was one-third of the control level in the KPD group. Fasting insulin levels were not different, and Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI), an index of insulin sensitivity, demonstrated similar levels of insulin resistance in the two groups.

Comment Concentrations of total branched chain amino acids (BCAA) were similar in KPD and control subjects, with no significant differences in valine or isoleucine/leucine. Because MS/MS cannot distinguish isoleucine from leucine, HPLC was used to separate them in samples from 11 KPD patients and 16 control subjects. Leucine and isoleucine concentrations were not different between KPD and control subjects. This was surprising because fasting plasma concentrations of leucine and isoleucine are usually elevated in diabetic patients with imperfect glycemic control.

Comment Oxidative decarboxylation of leucine is accelerated in KPD. There was no difference between KPD and control subjects in leucine flux and a trend toward higher valine flux in KPD. The rate of oxidative decarboxylation, or removal of the No 1 carbon of leucine by BCKDH, showed a strong trend to be faster in KPD. Increased BCKDH activity requires increased flux through the earlier BCAT-catalyzed step that drives transfer of NH2 from leucine to alpha-ketoglutarate to generate glutamate. Unless matched by acceleration of the opposing reaction that oxidatively deaminates glutamate to alpha-ketoglutarate, this would promote accumulation of glutamate.

Comment Conversion of glutamine to glutamate is accelerated in KPD, without a parallel increase in glutamate carbon oxidation. There was no group difference in glutamine flux, but plasma glutamine concentration trended lower in KPD. The rate of glutamine carbon transfer to glutamate was faster in KPD by several measures: slope of change, absolute synthesis rate of glutamate from glutamine, and fractional synthesis rate of glutamate from glutamine. However, the rate of oxidation of the same glutamate carbon in the TCA cycle was not different between the groups. Thus, increased glutamate production from glutamine in KPD is not matched by a parallel increase in glutamate carbon anaplerosis into the TCA cycle, as predicted from the results of the leucine infusion study.
