Association of the Composite Inflammatory Biomarker GlycA, with Exercise‐Induced Changes in Body Habitus in Men and Women with Prediabetes

Abstract: GlycA is a new composite measure of systemic inflammation and a predictor of many inflammatory diseases. GlycA is the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-derived signal arising from glucosamine residues on acute-phase proteins. This study aimed to evaluate how exercise-based lifestyle interventions modulate GlycA in persons at risk for type 2 diabetes. GlycA, fitness, and body habitus were measured in 169 sedentary adults (45–75 years) with prediabetes randomly assigned to one of four six-month exercise-ba… Show more

“…Barlett et al evaluated how an exercise-based lifestyle or exercise plus diet interventions for 6 months modulate GlycA in sedentary adults with prediabetes. Their results showed a reduction in GlycA levels, which they associated with a decrease in visceral adiposity [136]. GlycA has also been measured in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery, which is the most effective therapy in cases of severe obesity.…”

“…Only a few studies have described how these lifestyle changes contribute to reducing GlycA [98,135]. One study mentioned above with a 6-month intervention of resistance exercise alone or combined with diet in overweight and pre-diabetes individuals showed that GlycA levels decreased significantly by 2% [136]. Barber et al demonstrated significantly reduced plasma GlycA in 1568 individuals submitted to 14 exercise interventions even after adjustment for age, sex, race, baseline BMI, and baseline GlycA [137].…”

“…55,56 GlycA concentrations are reduced by exercise, reductions in visceral adiposity, and anti-inflammatory drug treatments. 55,57,58 Interestingly, GlycA concentrations were reduced by the intervention in the control group but remained unchanged in the protein group. Currently, there is no obvious explanation for this observation.…”

“…However, changes in the abundance of distinct glycan peaks were mostly observed after the weight loss period and the effect of the intense exercise alone could not be inferred (main aim of the study was to assess the effect of energy deprivation leading to substantial fat mass loss). Other relevant studies focused on relation of exercise and GlycA levels, a glycan biomarker of systemic inflammation, where decreasing levels of GlycA following exercise were observed (Bartlett et al, 2017;Barber et al, 2018). However, training interventions investigated in the aforementioned studies were all comprised of either moderate (40-55% VO2max) and/or high-intensity (65-80% VO2max) aerobic exercise (Bartlett et al, 2017;Barber et al, 2018).…”
