Prior evidence suggests that alterations in circulating BA levels and in the pool of circulating BA are linked to an increased risk of obesity and a higher incidence of type 2 diabetes in middleaged adults. Objective: We aimed to investigate the association between plasma levels of BA with cardiometabolic risk factors in a cohort of well-phenotyped, relatively healthy young adults. Methods: Body composition, brown adipose tissue, serum classical cardiometabolic risk factors, and a set of 8 plasma BA (including glyco-conjugated forms) in 136 young adults (age 22.1 ± 2.2 years, 67% women) were measured. Results: Plasma levels of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDCA) were higher in men than in women, although these differences disappeared after adjusting for body fat percentage. Furthermore, cholic acid (CA), CDCA, deoxycholic acid (DCA), and glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA) levels were positively, yet weakly associated, with lean body mass (LBM) levels, while GDCA and glycolithocholic acid (GLCA) levels were negatively associated with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake by brown adipose tissue. Interestingly, glycocholic acid (GCA), glycochenodeoxycholic acid (GCDCA), and GUDCA were positively associated with glucose and insulin serum levels, HOMA index, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin (IL)-2, and IL-8 levels, but negatively associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, ApoA1, and adiponectin levels, yet these significant correlations partially disappeared after the inclusion of LBM as a confounder. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that plasma levels of BA might be sex dependent and are associated with cardiometabolic and inflammatory risk factors in young and relatively healthy adults.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness via Retos de la Sociedad DEP2016-79512-R}, organization = {European Commission Spanish Government FPU 16/02828}, organization = {University of Granada Plan Propio de Investigacion 2016-Excellence actions: Unit of Excellence on Exercise and Health (UCEES)}, organization = {Consejeria de Conocimiento, Investigacion y Universidades (ERDF) SOMM17/6107/UGR}, organization = {Netherlands CardioVascular Research Initiative "the Dutch Heart Foundation" CVON2017-20 GENIUS-2 Netherlands CardioVascular Research Initiative "Dutch Federation of University Medical Centers" CVON2017-20 GENIUS-2}, organization = {Netherlands CardioVascular Research Initiative "Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development" CVON2017-20 GENIUS-2 Netherlands CardioVascular Research Initiative "Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences" CVON2017-20 GENIUS-2}, organization = {China Scholarship Council 201707060012 201607060017}, organization = {Fundacion Alfonso Martin Escudero}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, keywords = {Biomarkers}, keywords = {Cardiometabolic Risk}, keywords = {Brown adipose tissue}, keywords = {Dyslipidemia}, keywords = {Insulin resistance}, title = {Plasma Levels of Bile Acids Are Related to Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Young Adults}, doi = {10.1210/clinem/dgab773}, author = {Osuna Prieto, Francisco Javier and Rubio López, José and Ruiz Ruiz, Jonatan and Martínez Téllez, Borja Manuel}, }
