Clinical Benefits of Therapeutic Interventions Targeting Mitochondria in Parkinson's Disease Patients
In conclusion, targeting mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson's disease is a promising therapeutic approach, although only one compound has shown a positive effect on Parkinson's disease progression and symptoms. New compounds have been investigated in animal models, and their efficacy needs to be confirmed in humans through robust, randomised, double-blind clinical trials.PMID:37005519 | DOI:10.2174/1871527322666230330122444 (Source: CNS and Neurological Disorders Drug Targets)

Impact of GLP-1 receptor agonist versus omega-3 fatty acids supplement on obesity-induced alterations of mitochondrial respiration
ConclusionsExenatide increased hepatic mitochondrial respiration in high-fat fed mice, but no clear beneficial effect was observed in skeletal muscle or fat tissue. Calanus oil did not negatively affect respiratory activity in these tissues, which maintains its potential as a dietary supplement, due to its previously reported benefits on cardiac function (Source: Frontiers in Endocrinology)

Glucagon and exenatide improve contractile recovery following ischaemia/reperfusion in the isolated perfused rat heart
Glucagon and exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, combine to stimulate greater recovery of post-ischaemic contractile function in the Langendorff heart. Glucagon was inotropic and chronotropic, yet this initial effect decreased over time and did not account for the increased contractility observed post ischaemia/reperfusion. AbstractThe inotropic effects of glucagon have been recognized for many years, but it has remained unclear whether glucagon signaling is beneficial to cardiac function. We evaluated the effects of glucagon alone and in combination with the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) recep...

Testicular cytoprotective effect of glucagon like peptide-1 in diabetic rats involves inhibition of apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress and activation of autophagy
This study aimed to explore the possible cytoprotective effects of exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, in the testicles of diabetic rats. Exenatide has numerous advantageous properties in addition to its hypoglycemic effect. However, its impact on testicular tissue in diabetes needs more clarification. Therefore, rats were divided into control, exenatide-treated, diabetic and exenatide-treated diabetic groups. Blood glucose and serum levels of insulin, testosterone, pituitary gonadotropins and kisspeptin-1 were measured. Real-time PCR for beclin-1, p62, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and A...
