Adipose Tissue-Brain Interactions Modulate an Anorexia-Related Phenotype in Mice
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is characterized by hypophagia, low body weight, and compulsive exercise. The activity-based anorexia (ABA) paradigm induces aspects of AN in rodents. We tested whether transplanting adipose tissue from high fat diet-fed obese mice into normal weight recipient mice would attenuate ABA in recipients. We also assessed whether the effects of transplanted obese fat depend upon hypothalamic AgRP neurons. (Source: Biological Psychiatry)

Oncheong-eum alleviated hepatic lipid accumulation and intestinal barrier disruption in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in vivo model
ConclusionOCE reduces body weight, increases the weight of organs when fed a high-fat diet, and improves the lipid composition of the serum and liver. Therefore, OCE has shown great application potential as a material for obesity-related medicines and health-functional food. (Source: Molecular and Cellular Toxicology)

Influence of Gadoxetate disodium to the hepatic proton density fat fraction quantified with the Dixon sequences in a rabbit model
Conclusion2E- and 6E-VIBE Dixon can obtain accurate PDFFs in the hepatobiliary specific phase from 13 to 17th min after Gx enhancement. On 2E-VIBE Dixon (FA  = 10°), effective minimization of T1 Bias by the Gx administration markedly improved the accuracy of the hepatic PDFF quantification.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Bone-derived PDGF-BB enhances hippocampal non-specific transcytosis through microglia-endothelial crosstalk in HFD-induced metabolic syndrome
It is well known that high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic syndrome plays a crucial role in cognitive decline and brain-blood barrier (BBB) breakdown. However, whether the bone-brain axis participates in this... (Source: Journal of Neuroinflammation)

Transcriptomic analysis reveals the critical role of Chemokine signaling in the anti-atherosclerosis effect of Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction
CONCLUSION: Xuefu Zhuyu decoction demonstrates effective regulation of plaque components, retarding plaque progression and preserving plaque stability by modulating lipid metabolism and inflammatory responses. Subsequent transcriptome analysis identified the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and chemokine signaling pathway as potential key pathways for the therapeutic effects of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction. This insight not only provides crucial avenues for further exploration into the mechanisms underlying Xuefu Zhuyu decoction but also offers valuable perspectives and hypotheses for enhancing disease prevention and treatm...

Oscillatory shear stress promotes endothelial senescence and atherosclerosis via STING activation
Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2024 Apr 23;715:149979. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.149979. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEndothelial dysfunction is an initiating factor in atherosclerosis. Endothelial cells (ECs) are constantly subject to blood flow shear stress, and atherosclerotic plaques tend to occur in aortic bends or bifurcations impaired by low oscillatory shear stress (OSS). However, the mechanism that how OSS affects the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis remains to be explored. Here, we first reported that OSS can promote endothelial dysfunction and atherogenesis in vivo and in vitro by activating STING path...

Inhibition of vascular calcification by Compound Danshen Dripping Pill through multiple mechanisms
CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that CDDP reduces vascular calcification by regulating the DKK1/LRP6/β-catenin signaling pathway in ECs/SMCs and interactions with the crosstalk of ECs and SMCs. It also reduces the senescence of ECs/SMCs, contributing to the Sirt1 activation, indicating CDDP's novel role in ameliorating vascular calcification.PMID:38678949 | DOI:10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155618 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Sesamin ameliorates nonalcoholic hepatic steatosis by inhibiting CD36-mediated hepatocyte lipid accumulation in vitro and in vivo
In this study, we observed the anti-hepatic steatosis effects of Ses in palmitate/oleate (PA/OA)-incubated primary mouse hepatocytes, AML12 hepatocytes, and HepG2 cells, as well as in high-fat, high-cholesterol diet-induced NASH mice. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), a free fatty acid (FA) transport protein, was involved in the Ses-mediated inhibition of hepatic fat accumulation. Moreover, the overexpression of CD36 significantly increased hepatic steatosis in both Ses-treated PA/OA-incubated HepG2 cells and NASH mice. Furthermore, Ses treatment suppressed insulin-induced de novo ...
