Aromatic Amino Acids and Their Interactions with Gut Microbiota-Related Metabolites for Risk of Gestational Diabetes: A Prospective Nested Case-Control Study in a Chinese Cohort
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to explore associations of aromatic amino acids (AAA) in early pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and whether high AAA and gut microbiota-related metabolites had interactive effects on GDM risk. METHODS: We conducted a 1:1 case-control study (n = 486) nested in a prospective cohort of pregnant women from 2010 to 2012. According to the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group's criteria, 243 women were diagnosed with GDM. Binary conditional logistic regression was performed to examine associations of AAA with GDM risk. Interactions between AAA and gut microbiota-related metabolites for GDM were examined using additive interaction measures. RESULTS: High phenylalanine and tryptophan were associated with increased GDM risk (OR: 1.72, 95% CI: 1.07-2.78 and 1.66, 1.02-2.71). The presence of high trimethylamine (TMA) markedly increased the OR of high phenylalanine alone up to 7.95 (2.79-22.71), while the presence of low glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDCA) markedly increased the OR of high tryptophan alone up to 22.88 (5.28-99.26), both with significant additive interactions. Furthermore, high lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC18:0) mediated both interactive effects. CONCLUSIONS: High phenylalanine may have an additive interaction with high TMA, while high tryptophan may have an additive interaction with low GUDCA toward increased risk of GDM, both being mediated via LPC18:0.

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.
