Lipid profiles and nutritional dynamics of long‐distance hiking: A longitudinal study on the Colorado Trail

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current literature on the metabolic effects of long‐distance hiking is limited to case studies with discrepant findings, and no prior studies have examined the role of diet in shaping these outcomes. In this study, we investigated changes in lipid profiles and dietary factors among 12 participants who completed the Colorado Trail.

The link between sarcopenic obesity and Alzheimer's disease: a brain‐derived neurotrophic factor point of view

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A, Sarcopenic obesity is defined as the age‐related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function that often leads to the progression of comorbidities, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Though the exact link between the two diseases is unknown, alterations in brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may be a contributor.

Variant Prioritization by Pedigree‐Based Haplotyping

open access: yesGenetic Epidemiology, Volume 50, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Whole genome sequence (WGS) data provides opportunities for comprehensive evaluation of variants that may influence complex traits. However, prioritizing the large number of variants, particularly those in non‐coding regions, is a challenge.

Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic innovations in chronic pain‐associated neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 7, Page 1313-1340, April 2026.
Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma-associated hypercholesterolemia: involvement of proprotein-convertase-subtilisin-kexin type-9 (PCSK9)

open access: yesCancer & Metabolism, 2018
Background PCSK9 regulates low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) level and has been implicated in hypercholesterolemia. Aberrant plasma lipid profile is often associated with various cancers.
