Effect of L-carnitine on the lipid profile, glycemic control, oxidative stress, and anthropometric indices of individuals with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review

open access: yesJournal of Diabetology, 2022
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent metabolic diseases in existence. With more than 536.6 million cases having been diagnosed globally, its prevalence is reported to be 10.5% in 2021. In individuals with diabetes, plasma L-carnitine is low and

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Exogenous Ghrelin Increases Plasma Insulin Level in Diabetic Rats

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Ghrelin, a 28-amino acid peptide, is a strong growth hormone secretagogue and a regulator of food intake. In addition, ghrelin is thought to play a role in insulin secretion and in glucose homeostasis.

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

PARK(ing) time–How park deficiency affects the biological clock in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Drosophila park mutants serve as a model for Parkinson's disease. We used this strain to investigate the connection between oxidative stress and the circadian clock mechanism. We showed that increased oxidative stress affects the physiology of pacemaker cells, disrupting their daily structural plasticity. Lack of rhythmic signaling from pacemaker cells

Metabolic profile and cardiovascular risk factors among Latin American HIV-infected patients receiving HAART

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
OBJECTIVE: Determine the prevalence of metabolic abnormalities (MA) and estimate the 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Latin American HIV-infected patients receiving highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). METHODS: A cohort study

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Treatment of Iron deficiency anemia induces weight loss and improves metabolic parameters

open access: yesMediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2014
Aims: The treatment of iron deficiency anemia is oral iron replacement which has side effects mostly related with gastrointestinal system. A significant rate of the patients that discontinuing the treatment complained of weight gain during treatment in ...

Comparative analysis of inflammatory and metabolic indices (HALP score, NLR, LMR, and TyG index) in healthy individuals, dipper, and non-dipper hypertensive phenotypes

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Hypertension
Objective This study aimed to compare the metabolic and inflammatory profiles of dipper and non-dipper hypertensive patients versus healthy controls, specifically evaluating the Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index's association with nocturnal blood pressure
