Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

PDE4D and PDE3B orchestrate distinct cAMP microdomains in 3T3‐L1 adipocytes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Basal conditions: •Ins/PDE3B lowers cytoplasmic cAMP (cyt‐cAMP) without affecting plasma membrane cAMP (pm‐cAMP). •Insulin decreases lipid droplet cAMP (LD‐cAMP) independent of PDE3B. •FGF1/PDE4D modestly reduces both cyt‐ and pm‐cAMP, while PDE4D alone can modulate LD‐cAMP. ISO stimulation: •Ins/PDE3B has minimal impact on cyt‐cAMP.

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

Re‐thinking peripheral dysfunctions in obesity: The emerging role of sulphaceutics and sulphanutraceutics

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, multisystem disease in which cardiometabolic risk arises from excess adiposity and progressive dysfunction of peripheral organs, ultimately disrupting endocrine and metabolic crosstalk among tissues. Within this network, sulphur‐based biology, centred on hydrogen sulphide and related reactive sulphur species, has ...

Inhibition of the NR4A1‐mediated cell cycle checkpoint enhances hyperplastic adipogenesis and glucose homeostasis in obesity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose The nuclear receptor NR4A1 is a critical node in transcriptional circuits for metabolic adaptation, yet its role in adipocyte progenitor (AP) fate and proliferation is unclear. We sought to define how NR4A1 governs early adipogenesis and adipose tissue plasticity.

Ceramides, Particularly Those Containing Very‐Long‐Chain Saturated Fatty Acids, Are Independently Associated With the Triglyceride–Glucose Index in European Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims The triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index is associated with insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. As ceramides are implicated in both insulin resistance and CVD, we investigated the association between the TyG index and plasma ceramides in individuals with Type 2 diabetes (T2D ...

Tankyrase‐2 regulates adipocyte differentiation through AMPK/mTOR signaling

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Tankyrase 2 (TNKS2), a PARP family member, underpins adipocyte differentiation. TNKS2 controls LKB1 protein level, and consequently, the activity of the mTOR/AMPK system and adipocyte differentiation through a layered process. Pharmacological inhibition of TNKS2 leaves other PARPs and DNA repair active and therefore represents a novel target in ...

Geometry‐dependent migration dynamics of fibroblasts on ECM protein micropatterns

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Extracellular matrix (ECM) micropatterns provide well‐defined adhesive environments for investigating how geometric confinement influences cell migration. Here, we combined ECM protein micropatterning with quantitative live‐cell microscopy to examine NIH 3T3 fibroblast migration on straight and sinusoidal adhesive tracks.
