Liver fat as a dietary target by Chinese Medical Nutrition Therapy (CMNT) diet for treating type 2 diabetes with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
This study aims to investigate the long-term effect of a Chinese Medical Nutrition Therapy (CMNT) diet accompanied by intermittent energy restriction on reducing liver fat and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes and NAFLD. Methods and analysis This is a multicentre two-armed parallel randomised controlled trial study. 120 participants with type 2 diabetes and NAFLD will be recruited from the physical examination centres of multiple hospitals in China. Participants will be randomly allocated 1:1 to either the CMNT group or the usual care group. The CMNT group will be instructed to consume the prov...

Relationship between changes in blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c], cholesterol, and triglyceride and changes in hepatic enzymes
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2024 Apr 28;70(4):23-28. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2024.70.4.4.ABSTRACTThe main risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are strongly associated with obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. The best clinical evaluation of the liver is done through studying changes in liver enzymes' activity, especially alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between changes in factors such as blood glucose, cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, and triglyceride and changes in hepat...

Identification of mRNA expression profiles and their characterization in age-related hearing loss
In this study, we analyzed an mRNA expression dataset (GSE49543) from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between young control mice and presbycusis mice were analyzed using limma in R and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) methods. Functional enrichment analyses of the DEGs were conducted with the clusterProfiler R package and the results were visualized using ggplot2 R package. The STRING database was used for the construction of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the screened DEGs. Two machine learning algorithms LASSO and SVM-RFE were used to screen the hub genes. We ...

MiR-18 regulates lipid metabolism of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease via IGF1
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2024 Apr 28;70(4):237-241. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2024.70.4.37.ABSTRACTWe aimed to illustrate the regulatory effect of miR-18 on the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). MiR-18 level in liver tissues collected from NAFLD patients and mice was detected. In vivo and in vitro influences of miR-18 on biochemical indexes, glucose tolerance and insulin resistance (IR) in NAFLD were determined. H&E staining was conducted to observe hepatic steatosis in NAFLD mice. The downstream target of miR-18 was finally detected by luciferase assay. MiR-18 was upregulated in liver tissues collecte...

Integrating network pharmacology and experimental validation reveals therapeutic effects of D-mannose on NAFLD through mTOR suppression
In this study, network pharmacology followed by molecular docking analysis was utilized to identify potential targets of mannose against NAFLD, and the leptin receptor-deficient, genetically obese db/db mice was employed as an animal model of NAFLD to validate the regulation of D-mannose on core targets. As a result, 67 targets of mannose are predicted associated with NAFLD, which are surprisingly centered on the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Further analyses suggest that mTOR signaling is functionally enriched in potential targets of mannose treating NAFLD, and that mannose putatively binds to mTOR as a core mec...
