Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis in a pregnant woman
Background Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) carries serious risks for mortality and morbidity for both the mother and the baby, and it is essential to recognize it early and start immediate treatment. Case Presentation We present a case of EDKA in

Estimation of insulin sensitivity from continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump data in type 1 diabetes [PDF]
Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia either due to a lack of secretion of the hormone insulin (Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, T1DM) or due to impaired action of this hormone (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, T2DM).

Reduction in BACE1 decreases body weight, protects against diet-induced obesity and enhances insulin sensitivity in mice [PDF]
Insulin resistance and impaired glucose homoeostasis are important indicators of Type 2 diabetes and are early risk factors of AD (Alzheimer's disease).

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Diabetes Mellitus : Insulin use [PDF]
Insulin is required for normal carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Patients with Type I diabetes depend on exogenous insulin for their survival while Type II diabetics may require insulin at a later stage of their disease.peer ...

Ubiquitination of secretory granules promotes their crinophagic degradation in Drosophila
Ubiquitination of secretory granules in Drosophila larval salivary glands is a critical molecular trigger for crinophagy, the lysosomal degradation of unreleased, or low‐quality granules. The E3 ubiquitin ligase Cnot4 is recruited to the surface of secretory granules to induce crinophagy.

Adding pioglitazone to insulin containing regimens in type 2 diabetes : systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background Type 2 diabetes is treated in a stepwise manner, progressing from diet and physical activity to oral antidiabetic agents and insulin. The oral agent pioglitazone is licensed for use with insulin when metformin is contraindicated or not ...

Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase at serine-615 contributes to nitric oxide synthesis [PDF]
Insulin stimulates endothelial NO (nitric oxide) synthesis via PKB (protein kinase B)/Akt-mediated phosphorylation and activation of eNOS (endothelial NO synthase) at Ser-1177.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
