Integrin β3 Orchestrates Hepatic Steatosis via a Novel CD36‐Dependent Lipid Uptake Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In MASH, ITGB3 recruits LYN and drives its ubiquitin‐proteasomal degradation via phosphorylation. This relieves DHHC5 inhibition, enabling ITGB3/DHHC5/CD36 complex assembly to enhance CD36 palmitoylation and fatty acid uptake, thereby exacerbating disease. Targeting ITGB3 blocks this pathogenic axis and ameliorates MASH.

A Simplified Three‐Tailed N‐Alkyl Phosphoramidate Lipid Platform Enables Inguinal Adipose‐Accumulated mRNA Delivery for Anti‐Obesity Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops an mRNA therapy encoding a long‐acting GLP‐1/FGF21 fusion protein. A three‐tailed ionizable lipid engineered three‐component lipid nanoparticle delivers the mRNA to inguinal adipose tissue. In obese mice, this targeted, dual‐hormone treatment potently reduces body weight, fat mass, presenting a localized strategy for metabolic ...

Hyperleptinemia is required for the development of leptin resistance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Leptin regulates body weight by signaling to the brain the availability of energy stored as fat. This negative feedback loop becomes disrupted in most obese individuals, resulting in a state known as leptin resistance.

Circulating leptin, soluble leptin receptor, free leptin index, visfatin and selected leptin and leptin receptor gene polymorphisms in sporadic breast cancer

Endocrine Journal, 2017
Leptin and visfatin are implicated in breast cancer risk but studies accounting for bioavailability of leptin are sparse. Reports on the association of leptin gene (LEP) and leptin receptor gene (LEPR) polymorphisms with breast cancer are also inconsistent.

Co‐Treatment With rhBMP‐2 and Rapamycin Modulates Osteogenesis–Adipogenesis Balance to Enhance Aged Bone Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the imbalance between osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation in senescent BMSCs, leading to excessive adipocyte accumulation, which subsequently impairs bone regeneration in aged mice. To address this pathological dysregulation, a novel energy‐supplying hydrogel system (PBR) has been developed to restore balanced ...

Animal models of NASH: getting both pathology and metabolic context right [PDF]

, 2015
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of referral to liver clinics, and its progressive form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), can lead to cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease.

Plasma leptin levels in pigs with different leptin and leptin receptor genotypes

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2008
SummaryA C3469T mutation at exon 3 of the pig leptin (Lep) gene has been genotyped in diverse pig breeds yielding controversial results with regard to its association with growth, fatness and carcass traits. A similar situation has been reported for a HpaII restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the pig leptin receptor (Lepr) gene, where ...

CGRP Enhances the Regeneration of Bone Defects by Regulating Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Through Promoting ANGPTL4 Secretion by Bone Blood Vessels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bone angiogenesis is important for bone formation and regeneration after bone injury. Endothelial‐derived angiogenic factors are key signal transducers in the bone microenvironment and maintain vascular–osteogenic coupling during bone regeneration.

The glucoregulatory actions of leptin

Molecular Metabolism, 2017
Background: The hormone leptin is an important regulator of metabolic homeostasis, able to inhibit food intake and increase energy expenditure. Leptin can also independently lower blood glucose levels, particularly in hyperglycemic models of leptin or ...
