Adipocytes in Aortic Stenosis: Association With Clinical and Morphological Indices

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recently, great attention has been given to understanding the new pathogenetic mechanisms underlying aortic stenosis (AS). The study aims to understand the role of mature adipocytes in AS and their association with histologic, clinical, and echocardiographic data, an area previously overlooked in AS research.

The PPARγ Agonist Rosiglitazone Suppresses Syngeneic Mouse SCC (Squamous Cell Carcinoma) Tumor Growth through an Immune-Mediated Mechanism [PDF]

, 2019
Recent evidence suggests that PPARγ agonists may promote anti-tumor immunity. We show that immunogenic PDV cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) tumors are rejected when injected intradermally at a low cell number (1 × 106) into immune competent ...

Bioengineered Isoflavone–Probiotic Functional Foods for Sustainable Modulation of Metabolic and Reproductive Health in PCOS

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Synergistic isoflavone‐probiotic action modulated metabolic, microbial and ovarian pathway ABSTRACT Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent metabolic–endocrine disorder characterized by insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and ovarian dysfunction, with growing evidence implicating gut microbiota ...

A pilot randomized controlled trial of pioglitazone for the treatment of poorly controlled asthma in obesity [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Obese asthmatics tend to have poorly controlled asthma, and resistance to standard asthma controller medications. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of pioglitazone, an anti-diabetic medication which can alter circulating

Potential neuroprotective and therapeutic agents and their mechanisms for irradiation‐induced brain injury

Ibrain, EarlyView.
In this review, agents such baicalein, troxerutin, epigallocatechin gallate, quercetin, melatonin, valproic acid, lithium, neurosteroid progesterone, as well as minocycline have been implicated as neuroprotective agents for irradiation‐induced neurological deficits. Also, agents such as glucocorticoids, methylphenidate, vitamin E, bisdemethoxycurcumin,

Pioglitazone Lowers Serum Retinol Binding Protein 4 by Suppressing its Expression in Adipose Tissue of Obese Rats

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2015
Background/Aims: Pioglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ activator, is clinically used to treat insulin resistance. However, the underlying mechanism of pioglitazone's action remains unclear.

Mitochondrial nutrients improve immune dysfunction in the type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats. [PDF]

, 2008
The development of type 2 diabetes is accompanied by decreased immune function and the mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesize that oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction may play an important role in the immune dysfunction in diabetes.

Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome 1 (MTDPS1)—A Novel Cause of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We describe a woman with MNGIE due to a novel homozygous TYMP nonsense variant and propose MNGIE as the cause of her premature ovarian insufficiency—a rarely reported association—highlighting the need to consider mitochondrial disease in unexplained POI, especially in atypical, consanguineous presentations. ABSTRACT Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome

PPARγ agonist-loaded PLGA -PEG nanocarriers as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease: in vitro and in vivo studies [PDF]

, 2018
Objective: The first aim of this study was to develop a nanocarrier that could transport the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist, pioglitazone (PGZ) across brain endothelium and examine the mechanism of nanoparticle transcytosis.

Pioglitazone Ameliorates Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress and Inflammation via AMPK‐Dependent Inhibition of Mitochondrial Fission in Leigh Syndrome

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Pioglitazone suppresses mitochondrial excessive ROS generation and COX‐2 level through inhibition of Drp‐1 mediated mitochondrial fission in an AMPK‐dependent manner in LS. ABSTRACT Loss of function mutations of NDUFS4 resulted in Leigh syndrome, which is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and characterized by mitochondrial oxidative stress ...
