Abstract

BACKGROUND: Associations between dietary patterns, metabolic and inflammatory markers and gut microbiota are yet to be elucidated. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to characterize dietary patterns in overweight and obese subjects and evaluate the different dietary patterns in relation to metabolic and inflammatory variables as well as gut microbiota. DESIGN: Dietary patterns, plasma and adipose tissue markers, and gut microbiota were evaluated in a group of 45 overweight and obese subjects (6 men and 39 women). A group of 14 lean subjects were also evaluated as a reference group. RESULTS: Three clusters of dietary patterns were identified in overweight/obese subjects. Cluster 1 had the least healthy eating behavior (highest consumption of potatoes, confectionary and sugary drinks, and the lowest consumption of fruits that was associated also with low consumption of yogurt, and water). This dietary pattern was associated with the highest LDL cholesterol, plasma soluble CD14 (p = 0.01) a marker of systemic inflammation but the lowest accumulation of CD163+ macrophages with anti-inflammatory profile in adipose tissue (p = 0.05). Cluster 3 had the healthiest eating behavior (lower consumption of confectionary and sugary drinks, and highest consumption of fruits but also yogurts and soups). Subjects in this Cluster had the lowest inflammatory markers (sCD14) and the highest anti-inflammatory adipose tissue CD163+ macrophages. Dietary intakes, insulin sensitivity and some inflammatory markers (plasma IL6) in Cluster 3 were close to those of lean subjects. Cluster 2 was in-between clusters 1 and 3 in terms of healthfulness. The 7 gut microbiota groups measured by qPCR were similar across the clusters. However, the healthiest dietary cluster had the highest microbial gene richness, as evaluated by quantitative metagenomics. CONCLUSION: A healthier dietary pattern was associated with lower inflammatory markers as well as greater gut microbiota richness in overweight and obese subjects. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01314690.

Figure 2 Canonical analysis: graphical representation of the food categories by cluster. A graphical representation of the food categories that created the distinction between the clusters i.e. those which were strongly correlated with canonical axis (Can) or significantly different between clusters (KW test with Bonferroni correction). The can 1 axis separates Cluster1 from 2 or 3, the can 2 axis separates Cluster 2 from 1 or 3. If the food category is strongly correlated with the two canonical axes it separates the three clusters at the same time. Food categories shown in black characterise Cluster 1, in green characterise Cluster 2, and in red characterise Cluster 3. The projection of each food or drink category on each canonical axis represents the contribution of this category to the building of this canonical axis. Therefore, if a category has a high contribution to the first axis (e.g. fruit), it discriminates Cluster 1 from Cluster 2 or Cluster 3. The food categories with weak contribution (below 0.5 in the inner circle) are shown in blue. These categories do not contribute to the discrimination/characterization of the three clusters. The distance between the centre point of the figure and the food category represents the correlation to the canonical axis and therefore the contribution to the separation of clusters. Food categories close to the axis between Clusters 2 and 3 indicate that intakes are similar, as for yogurt. Food category names have been shorted in this figure for readability.

Figure 4 Canonical correlation analysis for significant food categories and selected clinical parameters (all subjects). Visualization of the association between the food categories that significantly distinguish one pattern from another and selected clinical parameters. Pairs of canonical axes were determined to maximize the covariance between the food categories and the clinical parameters. The canonical coefficients were used to assess the contributions of each food category and each clinical parameter to the correlation by evaluating their signs and magnitude. The healthy foods (yogurt, soups, fruits, vegetables) are in the area of CD163+ macrophages indicating the higher the consumption of these healthy foods, the higher the value for the alternatively (M2)-activated macrophages. The less healthy foods (potatoes, sweetened soft drinks, sweets) are in the area of LDL cholesterol, inflammatory parameters CD14, total fat mass and adipocyte diameter indicating that the higher the consumption of these foods, the higher the value of these clinical parameters; Food and clinical parameter arrows pointing in the same direction indicate positive correlation between them. The closer the food is to the clinical parameter, the greater the link (but in some cases this link is not strong, and the value for the correlation is less than 0.05).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
