    Notes: Summary To investigate the influence of the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) genotype on the clinical features of diabetes, 212 Japanese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (154 males and 58 females aged 17–83 years; mean age 58.2 years) were investigated. Genotyping of ALDH2 was performed by the polymerase chain reaction – restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The pattern of inheritance of diabetes and various clinical parameters was compared between active and inactive ALDH2 groups. Of the 212 subjects, 120 had active ALDH2 and 92 had inactive ALDH2. The percentage of patients with a diabetic mother was higher in the inactive ALDH2 group (32.6 %) than in the active ALDH2 group (19.2 %) (p 〈 0.05). The prevalence of proliferative retinopathy was lower in the inactive ALDH2 group than in the active ALDH2 group (p 〈 0.05). However, other clinical parameters showed no difference. We conclude that maternal inheritance of diabetes was common in the inactive ALDH2 group. The finding is suggestive of a relationship between alcohol intolerance and inheritance of diabetes. We speculate that the interaction between mitochondrial DNA and ALDH2 inactivity causes an increase of mitochondrial DNA mutations or deletions, thereby inducing the maternal inheritance of diabetes. The relationship of the ALDH2 genotype with proliferative retinopathy is interesting, because it resembles that of chlorpropamide alcohol flushing with severe diabetic retinopathy. The interaction of aldehyde dehydrogenase isoenzymes might have an aetiological role, since aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 plays an important part in oxidation of retinal to retinoic acid. However, the number of affected patients with proliferative retinopathy was small, hence, our result should be considered as a preliminary finding. [Diabetologia (1996) 39: 1115–1118]

    Notes: Abstract Five analogs of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] [1], 26,27-dimethyl-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3] [2], 26,27-dimethyl-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2(Et)2D3] [3], 26,27-dipropyl-1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2(Pr)2D3] [4], 26,27-dimethyl-24, 24-difluoro-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, and [5] 24a-homo-24,24-difluoro-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3] were investigated to clarify the possibility that prevents osteopenia induced in rats by ovariectomy and sciatic neurotomy. The objective of our studies was to determine whether these analogs may be effective for treatment of subjects with osteoporosis. 1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, 24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, and 24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3 prevented decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) of the femur, as measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The potency of 1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3 in this test was higher than that of 1,25(OH)2D3. The potencies of 24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3 and 24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3 were similar to that of 1,25(OH)2D3. On the other hand, though 1,25(OH)2(Et)2D3 and 1,25(OH)2(Pr)2D3 had a preventive effect on the decease in BMD, the potency of two analogs was lower than that of 1,25(OH)2D3. Decreases in cortical and trabecular bone areas of the femur were prevented by three analogs of 1,25(OH)2D3, 1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, 24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, and 24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3. Serum calcium (Ca) concentration was elevated at the last administration of three analogs of 1,25(OH)2D3, 1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, 24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3 and 24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3. Decreases in the Ca concentration in untreated rats were noted a few days after the last administration. In light of these positive effects, we are continuing research on 1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, 24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, and 24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3 as putative treatment for osteoporosis.
