British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.The κ opioid receptor (κ receptor, KOR) is a G protein‐coupled receptor with well established roles in analgesia and immune modulation. Although historically studied primarily in the central nervous system (CNS), growing evidence indicates that κ signalling in peripheral tissues plays an important role in regulating pain, inflammation and immune ...

Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...

Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims We evaluated the risk of mental health disorders among glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP1RA) users compared with users of dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP‐4) inhibitors and sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. Materials and Methods We conducted a nationwide, active‐comparator new‐user cohort study using the Korean ...

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims Treatment options for metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are limited. While glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RA) and sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT‐2) inhibitors improve cardiovascular outcomes, comparative effectiveness on liver‐related outcomes remains unclear.
