Impact of Stabilizing Osmolytes on the Conformational Dynamics of Human and Rat Islet Amyloid Polypeptides

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) into cytotoxic oligomers and amyloid fibrils is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), leading to pancreatic β‐cell dysfunction. In contrast, rat IAPP (rIAPP) is largely non‐amyloidogenic. Osmolytes such as glucose, glycerol, and sorbitol are known to stabilize globular protein

Is Asthma Remission a New Achievable Goal? A Review of the Current Drug‐Related Evidence and Predictors

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in asthma therapies have shown that clinical remission may be an achievable therapeutic goal for patients with asthma. This review discusses the current definitions of remission in asthma, the predictors of remission, airway inflammation/epithelial damage in asthma remission, airway remodeling, paradigms in defining remission and ...

Review Article: Fibrosis Reversal in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatohepatitis—The Promise of Emerging Therapeutics

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis is the second commonest US indication for liver transplantation but remains largely undiagnosed and untreated. Fibrosis stage is the strongest predictor of major adverse liver outcomes, with decompensation rates and transplant‐free survival diverging sharply between F3 and F4, while cardiovascular ...

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Tirzepatide-related acute liver injury

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine
Tirzepatide, a modified protein containing 39 amino acids, acts as a dual agonist at the gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, showing great promise in weight-loss treatment.

Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists and muscle strength changes in older adults: Risks beyond muscle mass reductions

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)/Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists are increasingly prescribed for the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes, yet research pertinent to their effects on muscle health is limited. Considering the central role of muscle strength as a sarcopenia component, this article summarizes emerging ...

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and
