Exploring the Impact of Urolithins A and B on Muscle Health: A Transcriptomic Analysis in Human Myotubes

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Urolithin A (UA) and urolithin B (UB) are gut microbiota‐derived metabolites of ellagitannins reported to influence mitochondrial function, inflammation and muscle metabolism. Their comparative transcriptomic effects in human skeletal muscle cells remain undefined.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 and high-density lipoprotein metabolism: experimental animal models and clinical evidence [PDF]

, 2016
Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) belongs to the proprotein convertase family. Several studies have demonstrated its involvement in the regulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels by inducing the degradation of the ...

PCSK9: a convertase that coordinates LDL catabolism

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
The identification and characterization of proprotein convertase subtilisin-like/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) have provided new insights into LDL metabolism and the causal role of LDL in coronary heart disease (CHD).

Hypertriglyceridemia: Causes, Consequences, Diagnosis, and Management

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) arises from the interplay between genetic susceptibility and secondary or precipitating factors, leading to dysregulated triglyceride‐rich lipoprotein (TRL) metabolism. Increased TRL production and impaired clearance promote distinct risk phenotypes: accumulation of apolipoprotein B(apoB)‐containing TRL remnants contributes ...

α‐Synuclein Promotes Atherosclerosis by Impairing Macrophage Autophagic Flux

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2026.
Extracellular α‐synuclein activates the FLOT1‐PI3K‐mTOR axis to block autophagosome‐lysosomal fusion and lipophagy, thereby promoting macrophage foaming and atherosclerosis. Knockdown of FLOT1 or inhibition of PI3K‐mTOR rescues these effects. The graphical abstract image was created with Figdraw.

Comparative study of the binding pockets of mammalian proprotein convertases and its implications for the design of specific small molecule inhibitors

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2010
Proprotein convertases are enzymes that proteolytically cleave protein precursors in the secretory pathway to yield functional proteins. Seven mammalian subtilisin/Kex2p-like proprotein convertases have been identified: furin, PC1, PC2, PC4, PACE4, PC5 ...

Effectiveness of Telehealth Low‐Carbohydrate Intervention in Preventing Chronic Kidney Disease: A Real‐World, Retrospective, Matched Cohort Study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 10, Page 9054-9068, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Lifestyle interventions targeting metabolic health may influence chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk, particularly among adults with type 2 diabetes and obesity. We evaluated real‐world associations between a telehealth‐delivered, individualized nutrition therapy program (VINT) and CKD incidence and progression compared with usual ...

Metabolic Memory in Cardiovascular Disease: Encoding, Propagation, and Therapeutic Targeting

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 54, 28 September 2026.
Cardiovascular risk often persists after metabolic abnormalities are corrected. This conceptual Review frames such persistence as metabolic memory, encoded through a narrowing therapeutic window from reversible marks to irreversible damage, with continuous input from peripheral organs.

Assessment of serum proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 in pediatric sepsis syndrome

Scientific Reports
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its tissues and organs. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is an enzyme released in response to the drop in cholesterol level ...
