Small interfering RNA (siRNA) as a potential gene silencing strategy for diabetes and associated complications: challenges and future perspectives
ConclusionIn the context of diabetic complications, siRNA has been explored as a potential therapeutic tool to modulate the expression of genes involved in various processes associated with diabetes-related issues such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Neuropathy, Nephropathy, wound healing. The use of siRNA in these contexts is still largely experimental, and challenges such as delivery to specific tissues, potential off-target effects, and long-term safety need to be addressed. Additionally, the development of siRNA-based therapies for clinical use in diabetic complications is an active area of research. (Source: Journal of Diabe...

Evaluating the impact of efpeglenatide on cardiometabolic and safety outcomes in individuals with diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsEfpeglenatide significantly improves glycemic outcomes and promotes weight loss in individuals with diabetes. However, it is associated with moderate adverse effects related to the gastrointestinal system. Thus, further trials are warranted to comprehensively assess its safety and efficacy to derive a robust conclusion.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

Generative AI for diabetologists: a concise tutorial on dataset analysis
ConclusionsThe unsuccessful NT-proBNP regression may be due to insufficient training data or the need for additional determinants. The dataset may be too small or new metrics may be required to accurately predict NT-proBNP regression values. It is crucial for users to verify the generated codes to ensure that they can achieve their desired objectives. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

Studying the relationship between insomnia and sleep disorders with hypertension: a report from community-dwelling older adults living in Tehran, Iran
ConclusionIt seems that in preventive and therapeutic interventions related to insomnia, the risk of hypertension in the elderly should be considered, and their blood pressure should be monitored and constantly controlled. We suggest a more clinically accurate approach to insomnia, sleep disorders, and hypertension and further evaluation of variables such as sleep duration and obstructive sleep apnea in future studies.

Altered expression of miR-375 and miR-541 in type 2 diabetes patients with and without coronary artery disease (CAD): the potential of miR-375 as a CAD biomarker
ConclusionOur results indicated that circulating levels of miR-375 and miR-541 were elevated in T2D patients with CAD compared to those without CAD. This suggests that miR-375 could potentially be used as a non-invasive biomarker for the diagnosis of CAD in T2D patients. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

The role of Sirtuin 1 in regulation of fibrotic genes expression in pre-adipocytes
ConclusionThis study highlights that down-regulation ofSirt1 might be a predisposing factor in the emergence of adipose tissue fibrosis by enhancing the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Activation ofSirt1, similar to suppressing ofHif-1 α in pre-adipocytes may be a beneficial approach for attenuating fibrotic gene expression. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)
