The Effects of Imeglimin on Muscle Strength in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Introduction: A bidirectional relationship has been observed between type 2 diabetes mellitus and sarcopenia, especially among older adults. While previous studies have reported that imeglimin improves mitochondrial function, they have not assessed its effects on muscle strength in patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of imeglimin on muscle strength in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we recruited consenting patients with type 2 diabetes (20-75 years). Changes in lean body mass (LBM), fat mass, quadriceps muscle strength, and grip strength from baseline (week 0) to week 24 were evaluated and compared between patients treated with imeglimin therapy (group I) and those who did not take imeglimin (controls, group C).
Results: We recruited 27 patients treated with imeglimin (group I) and 29 controls (group C), and 50 of them completed the study (group I: n = 23; group C: n = 27). The change in LBM, total body fat mass, or skeletal muscle index from baseline to week 24 did not differ significantly between the two groups. However, group I exhibited a significantly higher percent change in quadriceps knee extension strength from baseline to week 24 than group C (13 ± 19% and 2.1 ± 14%, p = 0.022). Conversely, the difference in percent change in grip strength was not significant. Multivariable analysis showed that imeglimin use was significantly associated with a percent change in quadriceps knee extension strength, independent of age, sex, body mass index, and skeletal mass index (β = 0.325, p = 0.0014).
Conclusions: Imeglimin positively affected muscle strength in patients with type 2 diabetes without altering LBM. Therefore, imeglimin exerts a unique effect on skeletal muscles in humans. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these findings.
Trial registration: This research was registered in the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN, UMIN000054715).
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
