摘要
Deep phenotyping and genetic characterization of individuals are fundamental to assessing the metabolic status and determining nutrition-specific requirements.This study aimed to ascertain the utmost effectiveness of personalized interventions by aligning dietary adjustments with both the genotype and metabolotype of individuals.Therefore,we assessed here the usefulness of a polygenic score(PGS)characterizing a potential pro-inflammatory profile(PGSi)as a nutrigenetic tool to discern individuals from the Danish PREVENTOMICS cohort that could better respond to precision nutrition(PN)plans,specifically targeted at counteracting the low-grade inflammatory profile typically found in obesity.The cohort followed a PN plan to counteract the pro-inflammatory profile(PNi group)or generic dietary recommendations(Control)for 10 weeks.PGSi was applied for genetic stratification(Low/High).The effects of the intervention on anthropometrics and biomarkers related to inflammatory profile and carbohydrate metabolism were assessed.Around 30%of subjects had a high genetic predisposition to pro-inflammatory status(high-PGSi).These individuals demonstrated the most effective response to the dietary plan,experiencing improved body composition,with significant decreases in body weight(∆:-4.84%;P=0.039)and body fat(∆:-4.86%;P=0.007),and beneficial changes in pro-and anti-inflammatory biomarkers,with significant increases in IL-10(∆:71.3%;P=0.025)and decreases in TNF-α(∆:-3.0%;P=0.048),CRP(∆:-31.1%),ICAM1(∆:-5.8%),and MCP1(∆:-4.2%)circulating levels,compared to low-PGSi individuals.Both phenotypic and genetic stratification contributed to a better understanding of metabolic heterogeneity in response to diet.This approach allows for refinement of the prediction of individual requirements and potentially for better management of obesity.
