Associations of PNPLA3 rs738409 Polymorphism with Plasma Lipid Levels: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Horm Metab Res 2022; 54: 686-695 DOI: 10.1055/a-1929-1677Accumulating evidence has shown that the rs738409 polymorphism of patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Since NAFLD has been reported to be associated with lipid metabolism, this study is conducted to explore whether the rs738409 polymorphism of PNPLA3 was associated with lipid levels. By searching PubMed and the Cochrane database from May 31, 2020, to June 30, 2021. Sixty-three studies (81 003 subjects) were included for the ana...

Knockdown of Endogenous Nucb2/Nesfatin-1 in the PVN Leads to Obese-Like Phenotype and Abolishes the Metformin- and Stress-Induced Thermogenic Response in Rats
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-1926-7280Nesfatin-1, the cleavage product of nucleobindin-2, is an anorexigenic peptide and major regulator of energy homeostasis. Beyond reducing food intake and increasing energy expenditure, it is also involved in regulating the stress response. Interaction of nucleobindin-2/nesfatin-1 and glucose homeostasis has been observed and recent findings suggest a link between the action of the antidiabetic drug metformin and the nesfatinergic system. Hence, this study aimed to clarify the role of nucleobindin-2/nesfatin-1 in the ...

Adipose Tissue Dysfunction: Impact on Metabolic Changes?
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-1922-7052Adipose tissue is a metabolically dynamic organ that is the primary site of storage for excess energy, but it serves as an endocrine organ capable of synthesizing a number of biologically active compounds that regulate metabolic homeostasis. However, when the capacity of expansion of this tissue exceeds, dysfunction occurs, favoring ectopic accumulation of fat in the visceral, which has been implicated in several disease states, most notably obesity. This review highlights the mechanisms involved in the structure of adipose t...

Tripartite Motif Containing 26 is a Positive Predictor for Endometrial Carcinoma Patients and Regulates Cell Survival in Endometrial Carcinoma
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-1926-7364Functioning as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, tripartite motif containing 26 (TRIM26) can regulate the tumor behavior and the relevant inflammatory immune response. Endometrial carcinoma is a major gynecological malignant tumor in the world, while no relevant research has been performed. KMplot, a web-based survival analysis tool, demonstrated that TRIM26 expression was positively correlated with the overall survival in gynecological tumors, such as ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer. The relatively low expression of TRIM26 w...

Horm Metab Res 2022; 54: 625-632 DOI: 10.1055/a-1882-3967In in vitro fertilization (IVF), it is meaningful to find novel biomarkers predicting ovarian response in advance. The aim of the study was to identify serum metabolomics predicting ovarian response after controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). Blood samples collected at the start of pituitary downregulation and on the fifth day after COS using Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods were analyzed to quantify metabolites. Demographic data were calculated with SPSS version 22.0 softwar...

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy in Neuroendocrine Tumors
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-1908-7790Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) occur in various regions of the body and present with complex clinical and biochemical phenotypes. The molecular underpinnings that give rise to such varied manifestations have not been completely deciphered. The management of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) involves surgery, locoregional therapy, and/or systemic therapy. Several forms of systemic therapy, including platinum-based chemotherapy, temozolomide/capecitabine, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy have been extensively studied and implemented in the ...
