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.

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.Obesity is widely recognized as a pro‐thrombotic condition, yet the specific biomarker profile reflecting coagulation activation remains incompletely defined. Obesity is associated with increased coagulation activation, particularly in children, suggesting an early pro‐thrombotic shift.

De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

Sex differences in brain glucose metabolism and Alzheimer's disease risk and progression. [PDF]
Alzheimers DementAbstract Sex differences are increasingly recognized as central to the biology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the mechanisms through which they shape brain metabolism and disease vulnerability remain incompletely understood. Brain glucose hypometabolism is a core hallmark of AD and emerges decades before clinical decline, but accumulating evidence ...

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.The swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon has a brown‐ and green‐coloured morph, with the brown being more common in the diapausing generation. The darker colouration of brown pupae did not confer advantages for thermoregulation when developing, but they did have lower diapause metabolic rates.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The genetic inactivation of one Mcu allele leads to sex‐specific changes in neuronal function in adult mice, that is, the firing of action potentials and the relationship between cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels. The ability to produce NAD(P)H by stimulated neural tissue is largely preserved in male mice but delayed in ...

Amyloid β alters vascular CaV1.2 channel spatiotemporal properties
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Amyloid‐β1‐42 (Aβ1‐42) triggers a male‐specific signalling cascade influencing CaV1.2 spatiotemporal properties in cerebral vascular smooth muscle. The signalling pathway involves NADPH oxidase (NOX)‐derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Aβ1‐42 can also activate protein kinase A (PKA).

Cannabinoid exposure during pregnancy: Cardiorespiratory effects and offspring outcomes
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids has been investigated across human and animal studies to understand its impact on physiological development. Evidence suggests that early‐life cannabinoid exposure influence multiple developmental processes, extending beyond neurodevelopmental outcomes to potentially affect placental function ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend This review utilized animal models of complicated human pregnancies that result in reduced fetal nutrient or oxygen delivery, or combined nutrient and oxygen delivery, to elucidate their independent and/or synergistic contributions to the development of high‐risk cardiac phenotypes.
