Background and Purpose Plasmalemma vesicle‐associated protein (PLVAP) regulates transcytosis in vascular endothelial cells. PLVAP expression is increased in pathological conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy. P2X7 receptor antagonists have been shown to preserve blood‐retinal barrier (BRB) integrity.

Adiponectin and gastric fundus: A potential target for gut–brain axis dysfunctions
Abstract Adiponectin (ADPN) is a pleiotropic hormone produced by adipose tissue involved in the control of body weight, energy expenditure, and feeding behaviors. Alongside a central effect, ADPN acts on peripheral organs such as the stomach, where it can favor gastric fundus relaxation, reinforcing central satiety signals.

Elevated levels of HDAC6 activate the Wnt3a/GSK3β signaling pathway, leading to the phosphorylation of GSK3β and its subsequent binding to HDAC6, followed by translocation into the mitochondria. Within the mitochondria, GSK3β interacts with TFAM, competitively reducing TFAM's binding to mtDNA. This reduction decreases mtDNA transcription and stability,
