Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics 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 ...

MicroRNAs in brown and white adipocytes [PDF]

The adipose tissue has an important role in maintaining the energy homeostasis balance. Understanding its physiology is important for the development of treatments against diseases where this equilibrium is compromised, such as obesity and associated metabolic disorders.

The chemokine receptor‐like fourth extracellular loop of the apelin receptor differentially regulates apelin and elabela binding and signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Apelin and Elabela are endogenous ligands of the apelin receptor (apelin receptor/APJ), a GPCR involved in cardiovascular regulation and body fluid homeostasis. The human receptor contains a conserved disulfide bridge linking the N‐terminal domain to extracellular loop 3 (ECL3) via Cys19 and Cys281, forming a structural ...

Adiponectin promotes AMPA receptor trafficking and enhances excitatory synaptic transmission at hippocampal synapses via AMP‐activated protein kinase signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Peripherally derived adiponectin crosses the blood–brain barrier and targets severa0l brain regions. Adiponectin receptors are highly expressed in the hippocampus, and play a pro‐cognitive role as adiponectin markedly influences the functioning of hippocampal synapses.

Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal that lobeglitazone ameliorates hepatic steatosis in rats concurrent with regulation of mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Lobeglitazone is a thiazolidinedione and PPARγ agonist that improves metabolic parameters and hepatic steatosis, but its mechanisms are not fully understood. This study investigated the effects of lobeglitazone on hepatic transcriptomic and metabolic profiles in a rat model of obesity and Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Glucocorticoids and HPA axis regulation in the stress–obesity connection: A comprehensive overview of biological, physiological and behavioural dimensions

Clinical Obesity, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Chronic stress, characterized by increased long‐term exposure to the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol, is increasingly linked to obesity development. Still, various knowledge gaps persist, including on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of the current review is to provide the latest insights on the connection between stress and ...

Inhibition of Ornithine Decarboxylase 1 Mitigates Denervation‐Induced Muscle Atrophy by Suppressing Proteolysis and Preserving Muscle Stem Cell Homeostasis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Polyamine metabolism is innervation responsive and involved in denervation‐induced muscle atrophy. Inhibition of polyamine metabolism attenuates muscle atrophy by restraining proteolysis and preserving MuSCs homeostasis. Denervation‐induced activation of FAP‐derived FGF7 drives premature MuSCs activation, while DFMO suppresses this paracrine cue to ...

Hypercortisolism: Causes, Consequences and Clinical Significance – A Review of Pathophysiology

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercortisolism or Cushing syndrome is a heterogeneous clinical spectrum caused by chronic glucocorticoid excess, ranging from exogenous Cushing syndrome to rare endogenous aetiologies and the increasingly recognised entity of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). Physiological cortisol production is tightly regulated by the hypothalamic–
