Urinary signatures are associated with calorie restriction-mediated weight loss in obese Diversity Outbred mice
2025
Overview
Metabolomic profiles are increasingly being used to identify responders to dietary interventions. Advances using this approach are particularly needed to personalize and enhance the effectiveness of dietary weight loss interventions. Using obese Diversity Outbred (DO) mice that model genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of human populations, we aimed to identify urinary metabolite signatures associated with responsiveness to calorie restriction (CR)-mediated weight loss. DO mice (150 males, 150 females) were fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks to induce obesity, then urine was collected and an 8-week CR regimen (30% decrease in energy intake) initiated. At study completion, mice were rank-ordered according to their percent body weight change, with mice in the extreme quartiles deemed CR responders (n = 67) versus nonresponders (n = 67). Targeted semi-quantitative metabolomics identified elevated glutamic acid and hydroxyproline as key urinary metabolites that distinguish CR responders from CR nonresponders, independent of sex. Three urinary metabolites (glutamic acid, hydroxyproline, and putrescine) distinguished male CR responders from nonresponders. Six metabolites (glutamic acid, hydroxyproline, dopamine, histamine, lysine, and spermine) distinguished female CR responders from nonresponders. Multivariate receiver operating characteristic analyses integrated these metabolites to reveal potential sex specific and sex-independent associations of CR-mediated weight loss. Further, pathway analysis identified several metabolic pathways, including arginine and proline metabolism, and alanine, aspartate, and glutamate biosynthesis, that distinguished CR responders from nonresponders and could be indicative of metabolic reprogramming to enhance insulin sensitivity and energy metabolism.
