The value of lipid accumulation products in predicting type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study on elderlies over 65 in Shanghai
ConclusionLAP is more significantly associated with the risk of T2DM in elderlies than FPG, UN or NC, and it serves as a strong predictor of T2DM. However, this is impacted by FPG and neck circumference to a certain extent. Future large-scale studies are needed to confirm its efficacy in predicting diabetes.

Inflammation and immunological disarrays are associated with acute exercise in type 2 diabetes
ConclusionFinally; JUN, IL6, IL1B, PTGS2, FOS, ATF3, CXCL8, EGR1, and EGR2 were introduced as the critical targeted genes by exercise. Since the critical genes after exercise are upregulated and mostly are known as the risk factors of T2D, it can be concluded that unsuitable exercise can develop diabetic conditions in patients. Acute exercise-induced inflammation and immune disturbances seem to be associated with the development of T2D in patients. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

A Comprehensive Review on GLP-1 Signaling Pathways in the Management of Diabetes Mellitus - Focus on the Potential Role of GLP-1 Receptors Agonists and Selenium Among Various Organ Systems
Curr Diabetes Rev. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.2174/0115733998287178240403055901. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiabetes Mellitus develops when the body becomes unable to fuel its cells with glucose, which results in the accumulation of sugar excess in the bloodstream. Because it has diverse pathophysiological impacts on the body, diabetes mellitus represents a significant issue of concern in an attempt to find suitable treatment modalities and medications for afflicted diabetic patients. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) plays a pivotal role in the incretin effect, emerging as a prospective treatment for diabetes mellitus and a pr...

A systematic review of the effect of semaglutide on lean mass: insights from clinical trials
CONCLUSION: Semaglutide displays potential for weight loss primarily through fat mass reduction. However, concerns arise from notable reductions in lean mass, especially in trials with a larger number of patients.PMID:38629387 | DOI:10.1080/14656566.2024.2343092 (Source: Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy)

The paradox of fatty-acid β-oxidation in muscle insulin resistance: Metabolic control and muscle heterogeneity
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2024 Apr 15:167172. doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167172. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe skeletal muscle is a metabolically heterogeneous tissue that plays a key role in maintaining whole-body glucose homeostasis. It is well known that muscle insulin resistance (IR) precedes the development of type 2 diabetes. There is a consensus that the accumulation of specific lipid species in the tissue can drive IR. However, the role of the mitochondrial fatty-acid β-oxidation in IR and, consequently, in the control of glucose uptake remains paradoxical: interventions that either inhibit or activa...

Genetic variants of ANRIL and coronary artery disease: Insights from a Turkish study population
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, selected ANRIL polymorphisms were associated with CAD presence/severity and CAD risk factors, T2DM, and hypertension. Notably, this study, the largest sample-sized study examining the effects of selected polymorphisms on CAD and its risk factors among Turkish individuals, supported the findings of previous studies conducted on different ethnicities.PMID:38631653 | DOI:10.1016/j.gene.2024.148475 (Source: Gene)

Decoding triancestral origins, archaic introgression, and natural selection in the Japanese population by whole-genome sequencing
Sci Adv. 2024 Apr 19;10(16):eadi8419. doi: 10.1126/sciadv.adi8419. Epub 2024 Apr 17.ABSTRACTWe generated Japanese Encyclopedia of Whole-Genome/Exome Sequencing Library (JEWEL), a high-depth whole-genome sequencing dataset comprising 3256 individuals from across Japan. Analysis of JEWEL revealed genetic characteristics of the Japanese population that were not discernible using microarray data. First, rare variant-based analysis revealed an unprecedented fine-scale genetic structure. Together with population genetics analysis, the present-day Japanese can be decomposed into three ancestral components. Second, we identified u...

Vasculitis and infectious risk in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A case report
Exp Ther Med. 2024 Mar 27;27(5):234. doi: 10.3892/etm.2024.12522. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTThe connection between vasculitis and infection is complex. The present study described a typical situation for a patient with unbalanced type 2 diabetes and chronic complications, in which a lack of adherence to the protection and care measures ultimately led to the appearance of some of the worst consequences of the condition, namely, ulceration, gangrene and amputation. In the context of an unstable condition with significant metabolic imbalance there was an impaired response to infections in the present patient, and the amput...

Nat Prod Res. 2024 Apr 17:1-11. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2024.2340755. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA new cyclopeptide alkaloid, spinachristene A (1), along with two previously described, sanjoinenine (2) and oxyphylline C (3), were isolated from the fruits of Paliurus spina-christi Mill. All three metabolites are being isolated for the first time from the genus Paliurus. A model for the in silico binding affinity of compounds 1-3 to Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP4), which is related to type 2 diabetes (T2D), was developed. According to our model, compounds 1-3 were ranked in positions 9/12, 11/12 and 8/12, respectively and ar...
