Greater Efficacy and Improved Endothelial Dysfunction in Untreated Type 2 Diabetes with Liraglutide versus Sitagliptin [PDF]
Objective:The incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and its analogs, including the glucagonlike peptide 1 receptor agonist liraglutide, use a simple once-daily regimen and can be easily introduced in the outpatient setting.

Network reconstruction of platelet metabolism identifies metabolic signature for aspirin resistance. [PDF]
Recently there has not been a systematic, objective assessment of the metabolic capabilities of the human platelet. A manually curated, functionally tested, and validated biochemical reaction network of platelet metabolism, iAT-PLT-636, was reconstructed

We describe a novel set of Epac‐based FRET‐FLIM biosensors with improved fully cytosolic distribution, achieved without compromising the state‐of‐the‐art performance of our original designs, for detecting cAMP dynamics in real time in live cells with high precision and reliability.

A system-wide network reconstruction of gene regulation and metabolism in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Genome-scale metabolic models have become a fundamental tool for examining metabolic principles. However, metabolism is not solely characterized by the underlying biochemical reactions and catalyzing enzymes, but also affected by regulatory events. Since the pioneering work of Covert and co-workers as well as Shlomi and co-workers it is debated, how ...

A Study on Weight Loss Cause as per the Side Effect of Liraglutide
Purpose. Liraglutide is known to have much lower weight loss effects in real clinical fields than in randomized clinical trials because of its side effects (SE) and discomfort associated with injections.

Embryo metabolism : what does it really mean? [PDF]
The study of early embryo metabolism has fascinated researchers in the field for nearly a century. Herein, we give a brief account of the general features of embryo metabolism and some consideration of the research performed to reach such conclusions. It

Coordinated balancing of muscle oxidative metabolism through PGC-1α increases metabolic flexibility and preserves insulin sensitivity [PDF]
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) enhances oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle. Excessive lipid oxidation and electron transport chain activity can, however, lead to the accumulation of harmful metabolites and ...

Diphthamide synthesis is linked to the eEF2‐client chaperone machinery
The diphthamide modification of eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2) is important for accurate protein synthesis. We addressed the potential coordination of de novo eEF2 synthesis with simultaneous or subsequent diphthamide modification. Our work reveals that the co‐chaperones Hgh1 and Cpr7, which are known to support folding of nascent ...

Metabolic graphs, LIFE method and the modeling of drug action on Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
This paper serves as a framework for designing advanced models for drug action on metabolism. Drug treatment may affect metabolism by either enhancing or inhibiting metabolic reactions comprising a metabolic network. We introduce the concept of \textit{metabolic graphs}, a generalization of hypergraphs having specialized features common to metabolic ...
