Researchers from University College Dublin and affiliated organizations presented data from a study that aimed to assess the role of α-melanocyte-stimulatory hormone (α-MSH) in diabetes.
Les Laboratoires Servier SAS has divulged new glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of obesity and diabetes.
Impairment in the functionality of the adipose tissue is crucial for obesity-related metabolic comorbidities and may trigger the onset of type 2 diabetes. The adipose tissue has been proposed as a main contributor of circulating miRNAs (miRNAs), but has not yet been characterized for these markers.
Understanding how alternative splicing is regulated and how it contributes to disease pathogenesis might open new therapeutic options for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Bcl-2-like protein 1 (BCL2L1), also known as BCLX, for which two alternative splicing forms (Bcl-xL and Bcl-xS) have been seen to have antagonistic effects.
The University of Bari Aldo Moro presented data from an in vivo study assessing the effects of irisin on pancreatic islets of diabetic mice (type 2 diabetes).
Autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH) type 1 and 2 are disorders that affect calcium homeostasis caused by gain-of-function mutations in CaSR, which encodes the calcium-sensing receptor.
Investigators at Washington State University (WSU) have identified a set of eight proteins that were expressed in the serum of Ursus arctos horribilis, better known as the grizzly bear, specifically during their hibernation period. In addition to reporting new basic insights into hibernation, the study, which was published in the Sept. 21, 2022, issue of iScience, could also give clues to insulin resistance and its relationship to body fat.
A simple injection of muscle tissue could control glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Genetic modification of skeletal muscle and subsequent intramuscular implantation could increase blood sugar absorption and become an effective and long-lasting treatment for this pathology. “We took mice satellite cells and we genetically altered to overexpress GLUT4,” Hagit Shoyhet, researcher at the Levenberg lab of stem-cell and tissue engineering, Technion (Israel), said at the European Association for the study of Diabetes (EASD) 58th Annual Meeting.
LG Chem Ltd. has synthesized new melanocortin 4 (MC4) receptor agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of obesity, diabetes, erectile dysfunction and inflammatory disorders.
