Clusters of fatty acids in the serum triacylglyceride fraction associate with the disorders of type 2 diabetes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Our aim was to examine longitudinal associations of triacylglyceride fatty acid (TGFA) composition with insulin sensitivity (IS) and β-cell function. Adults at risk for T2D (n = 477) had glucose and insulin measured from a glucose challenge at three time points over 6 years. The outcome variables Matsuda insulin sensitivity index, homeostatic model of assessment 2–percent sensitivity (HOMA2-%S), Insulinogenic Index over HOMA-IR (IGI/IR), and Insulin Secretion-Sensitivity Index-2 were computed from the glucose challenge. Gas chromatography quantified TGFA composition from the baseline. We used adjusted generalized estimating equation (GEE) models and partial least squares (PLS) regression for the analysis. In adjusted GEE models, four TGFAs (14:0, 16:0, 14:1n-7, and 16:1n-7 as mol%) had strong negative associations with IS, whereas others (e.g., 18:1n-7, 18:1n-9, 20:2n-6, and 20:5n-3) had strong positive associations. Few associations were seen for β-cell function, except for 16:0, 18:1n-7, and 20:2n-6. PLS analysis indicated four TGFAs (14:0, 16:0, 14:1n-7, and 16:1n-7) that clustered together and strongly related with lower IS. These four TGFAs also correlated highly ( r > 0.4) with clinically measured triacylglyceride. We found that higher proportions of a cluster of four TGFAs strongly related with lower IS as well as hypertriglyceridemia, suggesting that only a few FAs within the TGFA composition may primarily explain lipids' role in glucose dysregulation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
