Abstract Objective People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes are at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Aortic pulse wave velocity (Ao‐PWV) is an independent predictor of CVD. Cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) with glucagon like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1 RA) class demonstrate notable differences, with lixisenatide having ...

Cholinergic Modulation of Locomotion and Striatal Dopamine Release Is Mediated by α6α4* Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]
Dopamine (DA) release in striatum is governed by firing rates of midbrain DA neurons, striatal cholinergic tone, and nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) on DA presynaptic terminals.

Abstract Aims To evaluate the effectiveness of combination therapy with sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT‐2) inhibitors and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) compared with continued SGLT‐2 inhibitor therapy in routine practice among individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Effect of Hormone Replacement Therapy on Liver and Cardiometabolic Outcomes in Peri‐Menopausal MASLD
ABSTRACT Background Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease globally. Menopause is associated with increased hepatic fat deposition and thus metabolic dysfunction, contributing to heightened risk of progressive liver and cardiovascular disease.

Binding Interactions with the Complementary Subunit of Nicotinic Receptors [PDF]
The agonist-binding site of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) spans an interface between two subunits of the pentameric receptor. The principal component of this binding site is contributed by an α subunit, and it binds the cationic moiety of ...
