A New Vista of Opportunity in Diabetes Management: Natural Product‐Based β‐cell Preservation
Preserving functional β‐cells via natural products offers promising strategy for diabetes treatment. ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of diabetes is β‐cell failure, in which β‐cells cannot modulate insulin secretion to compensate for escalating insulin resistance, pushing forward disease development.

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.

The oncogenic potential of growth hormone.
A growing body of recent literature indicates that in addition to an essential role in growth and development, growth hormone may also play a more sinister role in oncogenic transformation and neoplastic progression.

Synthetic Food Colorants and Gut Microbiota: A Systematic Review of Preclinical Studies
ABSTRACT Growing evidence suggests that industrial food processing, including the excess consumption of food additives, might have a negative impact on human health. Despite regulatory safety evaluations, their impact on gut microbiota remains poorly characterized.

Ghrelin and growth hormone secretagogues (GHS): modulation of growth hormone secretion and therapeutic applications [PDF]
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatostatin modulate growth hormone (GH) secretion. A third mechanism was discovered in the last decade, involving the action of growth hormone secretagogues (GHS).

Periodontitis and Mechanical Forces Modulate Ghrelin Receptor in Periodontal Tissues
ABSTRACT Ghrelin signaling, mediated by the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS‐R1a), has emerged as an important regulator of inflammation and bone metabolism. This study investigated GHS‐R1a regulation in periodontal tissues exposed to experimental periodontitis (EP), orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), or both. Human periodontal fibroblasts were
