NUGENOB: The study, the database, and perspectives for integration
Focus
• The interactions between macronutrient composition of the diet, and specific genetic variants in human obesity.
• Combining clinical/physiological response to a high-fat test meal and a long-term hypo-energetic low-fat or medium-fat diet with knowledge of genetic make up and expression levels of individual genes.
Aims - I
• Identification and characterisation of novel nutrient-sensitive candidate genes for obesity.
• Assessment of the effects of the variants and combinations of variants in nutrient-sensitive genes on the response to a high-fat test meal
Aims - II• Identification of predictors of the changes in body weight during a 10-week
hypo energetic low-fat or medium-fat dietary intervention programme:
– Anthropometrical characteristics,– Obesity-related life style factors, – Physiological functions observed at the test meal challenge, – Variants or combinations of variants of the nutrient-sensitive genes, – Gene expression in adipose tissue, – Gene-phenotype or gene-environment interactions based on combinations of these
predictors.
To identify predictors of differantial response to the two diets
• Assessment of the combined effects of– variants of nutrient-sensitive genes – short- and long-term alterations in dietary fat content on the differential expression of selected genes in adipose tissue.

• Percentage and avarage• Summary scores • BMI, W/H
• AUC, AUCi• RQ, EE, macronutrien oxidation• Weight loss from week 0 to 10• Percentage and avarage• BMI, W/H
• Ratios

• Subjects completing the weight loss intervention, and following the diet prescriptions
• Subjects being successful or un-successful in loosing weight when following the dietary intervention
• Subjects with no versus high improvement in insulin sensitivity following weight loss
Samples in the NUGENOB biobank
• Serum and plasma samples taken in the fasting state, and every hour during a 3-hour period following a high-fat test meal. In obese subjects fasting serum and plasma samples were obtained following the 10-week intervention.
• Purified DNA in 96-well master plates (two sets) from all but 10 of the 771
obese and 119 lean subjects. • Buffy coat samples from all but ~120 of the 771 obese and 119 lean subjects
• Extracted mRNA from abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies obtained in fasting before and after the 10-week dietary intervention in ~ 700 obese subjects. mRNA from biopsies obtained 3 hours after the test meal in a small group of obese subjects and mRNA from biopsies obtained in a small group of lean subjects.
SOPs of NUGENOB• Anthropometrical measurements • Questionnaire (Translated)• Blood sampling (obtaining, packing, storing, shipment)• Dietary Intervention• Needle subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue biopsy• Preparation of the high fat liquid test meal.• Validating, calibrating and conducting indirect calorimetry (Hood).• Clinical investigation day, including blood sampling, energy and substrate
metabolism in fasting and flowing a high fat test meal.• Randomisation.• Data entry and data transfer into the freeware programme EpiData• Delivery of data for analyses
• Database on genes for which there is a known nutrient-gene interaction and a putative
role in obesity
• Info on genes for which gene variatns determine response to diet
• Info on genes for which the expression is changed in responds to calorie restriction, overfeeding or changes in diet composition (animal and human).
– Data from quantitative gene expression – Data from micro array studies.
• Animal studies on obesity, DIO or protection from DIO in KO, TG and mutation models
• Human gene variants affecting gene expression (with or without in vitro functional effects)
• Gene-gene interaction for nutrient sensitive genes
