Metabolic switch from glycogen to lipid in the liver maintains glucose homeostasis in neonatal mice
Neonates strive to acquire energy when the continuous transplacental nutrient supply ceases at birth, whereas milk consumption takes hours to start.

Class III PI3K regulates organismal glucose homeostasis by providing negative feedback on hepatic insulin signalling. [PDF]
Defective hepatic insulin receptor (IR) signalling is a pathogenic manifestation of metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes. The endo/lysosomal trafficking system may coordinate insulin action and nutrient homeostasis by endocytosis of IR and ...

The effect of metformin on biomarkers associated with breast cancer outcomes: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and dose–response of randomized clinical trials [PDF]
Purpose: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality in developed countries. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials to investigate the effect of metformin on biomarkers associated with breast cancer outcomes and to explore ...

Enolase, a ubiquitous enzyme, catalyzes the reversible conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate (2PG) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in the glycolytic pathway of organisms of all three domains of life. The underlying mechanism of the 2PG to PEP conversion has been

Gut microbiota markers in obese adolescent and adult patients: Age-dependent differential patterns [PDF]
Obesity levels, especially in children, have dramatically increased over the last few decades. Recently, several studies highlighted the involvement of gut microbiota in the pathophysiology of obesity. We investigated the composition of gut microbiota in

Metabolomics application in maternal-fetal medicine [PDF]
Metabolomics in maternal-fetal medicine is still an "embryonic" science. However, there is already an increasing interest in metabolome of normal and complicated pregnancies, and neonatal outcomes. Tissues used for metabolomics interrogations of pregnant

Background: As the primary source of glucose during fasting, hepatic gluconeogenesis is rigorously regulated to maintain euglycemia. Abnormal gluconeogenesis in the liver can lead to hyperglycemia, a key diagnostic marker and the primary pathological ...

Meta‐transcriptome analysis identified FGF19 as a peptide enteroendocrine hormone associated with colorectal cancer prognosis. In vivo xenograft models showed release of FGF19 into the blood at levels that correlated with tumor volumes. Tumoral‐FGF19 altered murine liver metabolism through FGFR4, thereby reducing bile acid synthesis and increasing ...

Hepatic gluconeogenesis and regulatory mechanisms in lactating ruminants: A literature review
The conversion of various non‐sugar substances, such as propionate and lactate, produced by rumen microbial fermentation into glucose by hepatic gluconeogenesis is the main way to ensure an adequate supply of glucose to the mammary gland of ruminants ...
