Description
Summary:Hypomagnesemia is frequently associated with type 2 diabetes and generally correlates with unfavorable disease progression, but the magnesium status in pre-diabetic conditions remains unclear. Here, the magnesium metabolism is scrutinized in a minipig model of obesity and insulin resistance by measuring variations of the metallome—the set of inorganic elements—and the magnesium stable isotope composition in six organs of lean and obese minipigs raised on normal and Western-type diet, respectively. We found that metallomic variations are most generally insensitive to lean or obese phenotypes. The magnesium stable isotope composition of plasma, liver, kidney, and heart in lean minipigs are significantly heavier than in obese minipigs. For both lean and obese minipigs, the magnesium isotope composition of plasma and liver were negatively correlated to clinical phenotypes and plasma lipoproteins concentration as well as positively correlated to hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp output. Because the magnesium isotope composition was not associated to insulin secretion, our results suggest that it is rather sensitive to whole body insulin sensitivity, opening perspectives to better comprehend the onset of insulin-resistant diabetic conditions.
