Aims/hypothesisIncreased inflammation and oxidative stress are associated with insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic disorders. Serum histidine levels are lower and are negatively associated with inflammation and oxidative stress in obese women. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of histidine supplementation on IR, inflammation, oxidative stress and metabolic disorders in obese women with the metabolic syndrome (MetS).MethodsA total of 100 obese women aged 33–51 years with BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2and diagnosed with MetS were included following a health examination in the community hospital in this randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. Participants were allocated to interventions by an investigator using sequentially numbered sealed envelopes and received 4 g/day histidine (n= 50) or identical placebo (n= 50) for 12 weeks. Participants then attended the same clinic every 2 weeks for scheduled interviews and to count tablets returned. Serum histidine, HOMA-IR, BMI, waist circumference, fat mass, serum NEFA, and variables connected to inflammation and oxidative stress were measured at baseline and 12 weeks. Participants, examining physicians and investigators assessing the outcomes were blinded to group assignment. In addition, the inflammatory mechanisms of histidine were also explored in adipocytes.ResultsAt 12 weeks, a total of 92 participants completed this trail. Compared with the placebo group (n= 47), histidine supplementation significantly decreased HOMA-IR (−1.09 [95% CI −1.49, −0.68]), BMI (−0.86 kg/m2[95% CI −1.55, −0.17]), waist circumference (−2.86 cm [95% CI −3.86, −1.86]), fat mass (−2.71 kg [95% CI −3.69, −1.73]), serum NEFA (−173.26 μmol/l [95% CI −208.57, −137.94]), serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, −3.96 pg/ml [95% CI −5.29, −2.62]; IL-6, −2.15 pg/ml [95% CI −2.52, −1.78]), oxidative stress (superoxide dismutase, 17.84 U/ml [95% CI 15.03, 20.65]; glutathione peroxidase, 13.71 nmol/ml [95% CI 9.65, 17.78]) and increased serum histidine and adiponectin by 18.23 μmol/l [95% CI 11.74, 24.71] and 2.02 ng/ml [95% CI 0.60, 3.44] in histidine supplementation group (n= 45), respectively. There were significant correlations between changes in serum histidine and changes of IR and its risk factors. No side effects were observed during the intervention. In vitro study indicated that histidine suppressesIL6andTNFmRNA expression and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) protein production in palmitic acid-induced adipocytes in a dose-dependent manner, and these changes were diminished by an inhibitor of NF-κB.Conclusions/interpretationHistidine supplementation could improve IR, reduce BMI, fat mass and NEFA and suppress inflammation and oxidative stress in obese women with MetS; histidine could improve IR through suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, possibly by the NF-κB pathway, in adipocytes.Trial registrationwww.chictr.org/cn/ChiCTR-TRC-11001551FundingThe study was supported by the National Natural Science Fund of China (No. 81202184, 81130049, 81102112), Heilongjiang Post/doctoral Fund (No. LBN-Z12193) and Key Laboratory of Nutrition and Food Hygiene (Harbin Medical University, Heilongjiang Higher Education Institutions, No. YYKFKT1202).
