Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Peripheral, but not central, CB1 antagonism provides food intake-independent metabolic benefits in diet-induced obese rats. [PDF]

, 2008
OBJECTIVE Blockade of the CB1 receptor is one of the promising strategies for the treatment of obesity. Although antagonists suppress food intake and reduce body weight, the role of central versus peripheral CB1 activation on weight loss and related ...

Relationship between locomotor play of dairy calves and their weight gains and energy intakes around weaning

Animal, 2015
Play behaviour has been proposed as a measure of good welfare in growing animals and locomotor play by calves is often reduced after weaning off milk.

Gestational weight gain mediates the effects of energy intake on birth weight among singleton pregnancies in the Japan Environment and Children’s Study

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2022
Background Extra energy intake is commonly recommended for pregnant women to support fetal growth. However, relevant data regarding variations in energy intake and expenditure, body mass index and gestational weight gain (GWG) are frequently not ...

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Behavioral Patterns, Rather Than Environmental Factors, Shape the Energy Balance of Wintering Chinese Mergansers (Mergus squamatus) in Huangshan

Ecology and Evolution
Animal energy intake and expenditure strategies in response to environmental fluctuations have been widely studied. Optimal foraging theory (OFT) is the dominant framework in this field; however, studies addressing the OFT in endangered waterbird species

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.
