    Description / Table of Contents: Summary In animals, dichloroacetate (DCA) which activates pyruvate dehydrogenase has been shown to diminish increased blood lactate concentrations due to biguanide treatment. In 10 maturity onset diabetics, therefore, the effect of a combined therapy with buformin and DCA (200 mg b.i.d.) was studied on blood lactate concentrations and compared with an analogous pre- and postinvestigation period of 6 days with buformin treatment alone (100 mg b.i.d.). Mean blood glucose concentrations remained the same during all 3 investigation periods. Also, neither fasting nor postprandially significant differences were found in blood lactate and ketones. In association with a standardized ergometer test, however, the rise in blood lactate was significantly smaller (p〈0.05) while the patients were on buformin plus DCA, compared to the periods when only buformin was given. Furthermore, less ketone bodies appeared to be utilized by the exercising muscle under the influence of the combined treatment (p〈0.05). These results are in good agreement with animal studies and suggest that DCA might be as effective in decreasing enhanced blood lactate concentrations in biguanide treated man as in animals.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Im Tierversuch vermag Dichlorazetat (DCA), das die Pyruvatdehydrogenase stimuliert, erhöhte Blutlaktatspiegel unter Biguaniden zu senken. Bei 10 Erwachsenendiabetikern wurde daher der Einfluß einer Kombinationsbehandlung mit Buformin und DCA (400 mg tgl.) auf die Blutlaktatspiegel untersucht und mit einer analogen Vor- und Nachperiode einer alleinigen Buforminbehandlung (200 mg tgl.) über 6 Tage verglichen. Die Diabeteseinstellung blieb gemessen an den mittleren Blutglucosekonzentrationen während der 3 Untersuchungsperioden unverändert. Ebenfalls keine signifikanten Unterschiede, weder nüchtern noch postprandial, ergaben sich hinsichtlich der Laktat-und Ketonkörperspiegel im Blut. Im Anschluß an einen standardisierten Ergometertest jedoch stieg unter der Kombinationstherapie mit Buformin und DCA das Blutlaktat wesentlich geringer an (p〈0,05) als unter Buformin allein. Gleichzeitig wurden unter der Kombinationstherapie weniger Ketonkörper vom arbeitenden Muskel utilisiert (p〈0,05). Diese Ergebnisse stimmen mit Tierversuchen gut überein und können im Sinne einer vermehrten Pyruvatoxidation unter DCA interpretiert werden; es ist zu hoffen, daß DCA ähnlich wie beim Tier auch bei biguanidbehandelten Diabetikern einem excessiven Ansteigen der Blutlaktatspiegel vorbeugen kann.

    Notes: Summary To investigate the presence of autoantibodies against sympathetic nervous tissue and their correlation with cardiac sympathetic dysinnervation in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), 20 newly diagnosed (age 26±6 years) and 48 long-term IDDM patients (age 40±13 years, duration of diabetes 22±12 years) without myocardial perfusion abnormalities (normal 99mTC-methoxyisobutylisonitrile uptake) were assessed for myocardial 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) uptake and complement-fixing sympathetic ganglia (CF-SG) autoantibodies. Both groups of patients were also studied for islet cell antibodies (ICA) and ECG-based cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Eighty control subjects (age 18–49 years) were investigated for CF-SG autoantibodies. Eight newly diagnosed (40%) and 12 long-term (25%) IDDM patients exhibited CF-SG autoantibodies, compared to 4 control subjects (5%; p〈0.01, p〈0.05). In long-term diabetic patients, the reduction of global but not of regional myocardial 123I-MIBG uptake correlated with CF-SG autoantibodies (r=0.34, p=0.02). Newly diagnosed diabetic patients did not show an association between CF-SG autoantibodies and global or regional myocardial 123I-MIBG uptake. ECG-based cardiac autonomic neuropathy (≥ two of five cardiac reflex tests abnormal) was present in 22 and absent in 26 long-term IDDM patients, of whom 9 (41%) and 3 (12%), respectively were positive for CF-SG autoantibodies (p=0.02). Only 1 newly diagnosed IDDM patient demonstrated ECG-based cardiac autonomic neuropathy and was also positive for CF-SG autoantibodies. Although they are somewhat suggestive, results concerning autoantibodies against sympathetic nervous tissue and cardiac sympathetic dysinnervation do not strongly support the view that autoimmune mechanisms play a major role in the pathogenesis of cardiac sympathetic neuropathy in IDDM.
