Abstract

The progression of cardiometabolic diseases is determined by both genetic and environmental factors. Gene-diet interactions may therefore be important in modulating the risks of developing metabolic diseases. The objectives were to investigate the effect of the interaction between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met polymorphisms and dietary insulin index (DII) and dietary insulin load (DIL) on cardiometabolic markers among diabetic patients. In this cross-sectional study, blood samples were collected from 667 patients. DIL and DII were defined using a validated FFQ. Genotyping the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism was conducted by the PCR-Restriction fragment length polymorphismA (RFLP) method. Interactions between dietary indices and gene variants were evaluated using a generalised linear model. PGF2a concentrations were significantly higher among Val homozygotes than Met-allele carrier. This study revealed that, compared with individuals with the Val/Val genotype, those with the Met/Val or Met/Met genotype had lower BMI (P interaction = 0·04), TAG (P interaction = 0·04), leptin (P interaction = 0·01), LDL (P interaction = 0·04) and total cholesterol (P interaction = 0·01) when they consumed diets higher on the DIL index. Moreover, the highest quartile of the DIL, compared with the lowest, showed increase in waist circumference (P interaction = 0·02) and LDL/HDL (P interaction = 0·04) for Val/Val homozygotes compared with Met-allele carriers. BDNF Val66Met variants may interact with DIL and DII, thus be involved in the development of cardiometabolic risk factors. If diabetic patients with Met alleles regulate dietary intakes, they have a protective opportunity to regulate their cardiometabolic markers. © The Author(s), 2021.
