, 2017 Previous studies have shown that tri- or di-methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me3/me2) on the promoter of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα) contribute to the repression of ...

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–

ADAM17 and its proteolytic targets in disease pathogenesis
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.ADAM17 as a multifunctional sheddase with contrasting roles across inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases. Through regulated activation by iRhom, iTAP/FRMD8, and tetraspanins, ADAM17 cleaves diverse membrane ligands and receptors, thereby promoting inflammation, fibrosis, obesity, insulin resistance, and tumor progression ...

Communications BiologyObesity arises from an imbalance between adipogenesis and adipocyte thermogenesis. Interleukin-27 (IL-27), a heterodimer cytokine, is known to promote thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. However, its role in adipogenesis remains unclear.

Periodontitis and Diabetes: Mechanistic Evidence of a Circular Relationship
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This narrative review aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms that connect periodontitis to diabetes (and vice versa) and that influence disease susceptibility, progression and response to treatment. ABSTRACT The circular relationship between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus is one of the most established oral‐systemic links.

Toll Like Receptor 4: A Potential Link Between Obesity and Metabolic Diseases
Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Epidemiological evidence shows that obesity increases the risk of developing metabolic diseases. Nevertheless, the mechanisms behind this connection remain underappreciated. The substantial impact of these disorders on global health has led to extensive research efforts aimed at identifying the pathophysiological links between them.
