Acute exercise‐induced lipolysis and increase in levels of fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids in adipose tissue are impaired in obese and aged mice

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Improving adipose tissue (AT) metabolism through exercise might increase production of lipokines from the fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFA) family. Although exercise training can increase insulin sensitivity and levels of specific FAHFA in AT and the circulation in humans, the effects of acute exercise on FAHFA levels remain ...

Leptin–cholesterol crosstalk in pregnancy: Mechanistic implications for placental function and cardiometabolic programming

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pregnancy requires the coordinated maternal reorganization of lipid and endocrine pathways to sustain fetal growth and anticipate neonatal nutrition. Leptin, produced by adipose tissue and the placenta, acts as an integrative signal linking maternal energy status with trophoblast function and vascular adaptation, while cholesterol provides ...

[Microbial test-system for screening of inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis].

Antibiotiki i khimioterapiia = Antibiotics and chemoterapy [sic], 2014
New effective economic microbial test-system for screening of microbial metabolites, that are inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis, is proposed. It is based on cultivation of fungal strain Acremonium fusidioides (former Fusidium coccineum), that produces fusidic acid (fusidin) that is antibiotic of steroid structure.

Prediabetic cardiomyopathy is attenuated by hypothalamic PVN oxytocin neuron activation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A long‐term high‐fat, high‐fructose diet induces prediabetes with insulin resistance, hyperinsulinaemia, elevated triglycerides and metabolic‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in male rats. Animals developed prediabetic cardiomyopathy characterized by diastolic dysfunction, interstitial fibrosis and tachycardia ...

Mechanisms and Predisposing Conditions for Statin‐Induced New‐Onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Paradox Relative to Their Pleiotropic Metabolic Effects

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
The primary function of statins is to inhibit cholesterol synthesis, which contributes to their antidiabetic effects. However, the majority of the diabetic effects of statins are due to inhibition of isoprenoid synthesis. Atorvastatin, simvastatin and rosuvastatin possess the most pronounced diabetogenic properties. In contrast, lovastatin, fluvastatin,

Prevention of Myc‐Driven Prostate Cancer in Mice by Oral Administration of Sulforaphane

Molecular Carcinogenesis, Volume 65, Issue 9, Page 1052-1062, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Prevention is desirable to reduce suffering and death from prostate cancer. However, a clinical‐grade intervention for the prevention of this malignancy is still lacking. This study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of prostate cancer prevention by broccoli constituent sulforaphane (SFN) because epidemiological studies have suggested

Oxysterols in Cancer: From Biosynthesis and Pathophysiology to Targeted Therapeutics

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Mechanisms by which oxysterol targeting may enhance immunotherapy efficacy. This figure illustrates potential metabolic interventions that may improve antitumor immunity by modulating oxysterol related pathways. CH25H modulation may reduce 25‐HC accumulation, promote the conversion of cold tumors into hot tumors, and increase T cell infiltration and PD‐

Lipodystrophy and adipose tissue recovery are mediated by the Wnt/lipogenesis axis during skin fibrosis

The Journal of Pathology, Volume 270, Issue 1, Page 98-113, September 2026.
Abstract Acquired lipodystrophy in the dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT) is an early phenotype of skin fibrosis, followed by the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Lipodystrophy syndromes are estimated to affect 1 in 20,000 people and are associated with metabolic comorbidities.

Molecular Mechanisms of Food Bioactive Constituents in the Management of Obesity and Hypertension: A Critical Review

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Obesity and hypertension co‐exist and share molecular mechanisms in terms of dietary therapy, modulated by food bioactive constituents. ABSTRACT Obesity and hypertension are among the most pressing global public health challenges. They frequently co‐exist, with obesity‐related hypertension accounting for an estimated 75% of the hypertension burden ...
