Diabetes mellites (DM) is a chronic disease with increasing prevalence worldwide and multiple health implications. Among them, sarcopenia is a metabolic disorder characterized by loss of muscle mass and function. The two age-related diseases, DM and sarcopenia, share underlying pathophysiological pathways. This narrative literature review aims to provide an overview of the existing evidence on metabolomic studies evaluating DM associated with sarcopenia. Advancements in targeted and untargeted metabolomics techniques could provide better insight into the pathogenesis of sarcopenia in DM and describe their entangled and fluctuating interrelationship. Recent evidence showed that sarcopenia in DM induced significant changes in protein, lipid, carbohydrate, and in energy metabolisms in humans, animal models of DM, and cell cultures. Newer metabolites were reported, known metabolites were also found significantly modified, while few amino acids and lipids displayed a dual behavior. In addition, several therapeutic approaches proved to be promising interventions for slowing the progression of sarcopenia in DM, including physical activity, newer antihyperglycemic classes, D-pinitol, and genetic USP21 ablation, although none of them were yet validated for clinical use. Conversely, ceramides had a negative impact. Further research is needed to confirm the utility of these findings and to provide potential metabolomic biomarkers that might be relevant for the pathogenesis and treatment of sarcopenia in DM.
糖尿病(DM)是一种慢性疾病,在全球范围内患病率不断上升,对健康有多种影响。其中,肌肉减少症是一种以肌肉质量和功能丧失为特征的代谢紊乱。DM和肌肉减少症这两种与年龄相关的疾病具有共同的潜在病理生理途径。本叙述性文献综述旨在概述现有关于评估与肌肉减少症相关的DM的代谢组学研究证据。靶向和非靶向代谢组学技术的进步可以更好地洞察DM中肌肉减少症的发病机制,并描述它们相互交织且波动的相互关系。最近的证据表明,DM中的肌肉减少症在人类、DM动物模型和细胞培养中引起了蛋白质、脂质、碳水化合物和能量代谢的显著变化。报告了新的代谢物,已知代谢物也被发现有显著改变,而少数氨基酸和脂质表现出双重行为。此外,几种治疗方法被证明是减缓DM中肌肉减少症进展的有前景的干预措施,包括体育活动、新型降糖药物、D-松醇和基因USP21缺失,尽管它们都尚未在临床应用中得到验证。相反,神经酰胺有负面影响。需要进一步研究来证实这些发现的实用性,并提供可能与DM中肌肉减少症的发病机制和治疗相关的潜在代谢组学生物标志物。
