The association between dietary consumption of amino acids and the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a case-control study.
Background: Few studies, with inconsistent results, have been conducted to examine the effect of protein and amino acid consumption on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Therefore, this study aimed to assess the relationship between dietary intake of amino acids or groups of amino acids and the risk of NAFLD.
Methods: This case-control study included 171 participants with NAFLD and 730 controls from Tehran, Iran. A validated Food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) with 168 items, was used to evaluate dietary information. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by regression models, adjusted for potential confounders including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, physical activity, history of diabetes mellitus, and total energy intake.
Results: The mean ± standard deviation (SD) age of participants was 43.26 ± 13.9 years. Intake of total protein and all amino acids was significantly higher in patients with NAFLD than in the control group (P < 0.001). Increased risk of developing NAFLD compared to the reference quartile was observed in the highest quartiles of dietary isoleucine (OR, 4.72; 95%CI, 1.57-14.19), tyrosine (OR, 5.11, 95%CI, 1.73-15.05), threonine (OR, 3.47; 95%CI, 1.16-10.33), and valine (OR, 4.51; 95%CI, 1.45-14.02) intake. Subgroup analysis by sex revealed that in the females, the OR for NAFLD were 0.36 (95%CI, 0.13-0.98) among those with the highest intake of non-essential amino acids, and 2.78 (95%CI, 1.02-7.50) among those with the highest intake of essential amino acids compared to those in the first quartile. However, there was no significant trend among male cases.
Conclusion: Consumption of specific amino acids might be associated with odds of NAFLD.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition & Metabolism publishes studies with a clear focus on nutrition and metabolism with applications ranging from nutrition needs, exercise physiology, clinical and population studies, as well as the underlying mechanisms in these aspects.
The areas of interest for Nutrition & Metabolism encompass studies in molecular nutrition in the context of obesity, diabetes, lipedemias, metabolic syndrome and exercise physiology. Manuscripts related to molecular, cellular and human metabolism, nutrient sensing and nutrient–gene interactions are also in interest, as are submissions that have employed new and innovative strategies like metabolomics/lipidomics or other omic-based biomarkers to predict nutritional status and metabolic diseases.
Key areas we wish to encourage submissions from include:
-how diet and specific nutrients interact with genes, proteins or metabolites to influence metabolic phenotypes and disease outcomes;
-the role of epigenetic factors and the microbiome in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases and their influence on metabolic responses to diet and food components;
-how diet and other environmental factors affect epigenetics and microbiota; the extent to which genetic and nongenetic factors modify personal metabolic responses to diet and food compositions and the mechanisms involved;
-how specific biologic networks and nutrient sensing mechanisms attribute to metabolic variability.
