3574 Effect modification between kidney function and adiposity in the association with central and peripheral insulin sensitivity among Nondiabetic patients with moderate Chronic Kidney Disease and Healthy Controls

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The main aim of this study was to investigate the interaction between glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and body mass index (as well as serum leptin) as determinants of peripheral and central insulin sensitivity (IS). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This was a cross-sectional investigation of 140 nondiabetic participants – 56 with CKD (GFR = 15-59 ml/min/1.73m2) and 94 with normal GFR (≥ 60 ml/min/1.73m2) – recruited as part of the relationship of insulin sensitivity in kidney disease and vascular health (RISKD) study. Peripheral (skeletal muscle) and central (hepatic) IS were assessed with the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic glucose clamp (HEGC) and homeostasis assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) respectively. Creatinine-based estimated GFR (eGFR) was obtained using the CKD-EPI equation and body mass index (BMI) was computed from baseline weight and height measurements. Linear regression models with robust standard errors (to relax homoscedasticity assumptions) and interaction terms were used to investigate GFR and BMI as predictors of HEGC-derived insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and HOMA-IR. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The mean (SD) age was 53.9 (14.5) years; 50.7% were female and 36.7% were African-American. Compared to controls, CKD patients had significantly lower mean (SD) ISI [5.4 (3.2) vs. 3.1 (1.6), p < 0.0001]. Log ISI was positively correlated (r = 0.39, p < 0.0001) with eGFR and inversely correlated (−0.30, p < 0.0001) with BMI and log leptin (−0.42, p < 0.0001). In multivariable models adjusted for age, sex and race, a 10 ml/min/1.73m2 lower eGFR was associated with a greater decrease in ISI among non-obese (0.48; 95% CI: −0.25, −0.70) compared to obese participants (−0.18; 95% CI: −0.02, −0.35) (p-interaction = 0.04). Patients with low eGFR (in particular, the lower margin of the CKD stage 3 range, 30ml/min) had lower ISI even with BMI within normal range (Figure 1a). At higher eGFR, BMI had a greater impact on ISI. P-interaction = 0.046, for differential BMI effects at lower vs. higher eGFR. Log HOMA-IR was inversely correlated with eGFR (r = - 0.49, p < 0.0001) and positively correlated with BMI (r = 0.52, p < 0.0001) and log leptin (0.46, p < 0.0001). HOMA-IR was lower for persons with higher GFR compared to lower GFR, at any BMI value. For example, at a BMI of 30 and a GFR of 120, HOMA-IR was 1.2 compared to 4.8 at a GFR of 30 (Figure 1b). Also, persons with high GFR had low HOMA-IR even with BMI in the obese range. BMI had a greater effect on HOMA-IR at lower eGFR. P-interaction = 0.005, for differential BMI effects at lower vs. higher eGFR. Similar findings were obtained when using log leptin in lieu of BMI in models for ISI and HOMA-IR. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Measures of adiposity (BMI and leptin) and GFR were independently predictive of insulin sensitivity (IS) but the magnitude of the effect of BMI (or leptin) on IS varied significantly across GFR levels and type of IS (peripheral versus central). The effect of BMI on central IS (HOMA-IR) was more pronounced at lower GFR with small changes in BMI translating into greater variations in IS. Conversely, at low GFR, peripheral IS (ISI) is less affected by BMI. Persons with GFR at the lower margin of the CKD stage 3 range were significantly insulin resistant (low ISI) regardless of their BMI. More studies are required to further elucidate these interaction patterns for central and peripheral IS.
