Maternal Gestational Low‐Grade Inflammation and the Risk of Anorexia Nervosa in Daughters
ABSTRACT Objective Prenatal exposures have been suggested to have a programming effect on neural and metabolic development, which may affect the risk of eating disorders. We investigated the association between prospectively measured maternal gestational high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP), an established inflammatory biomarker, and subsequent

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by a lack of a specific targeted treatment and a complex, partially unexplored pathophysiology. Common comorbidities associated with HFpEF are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, obesity and diabetes.

Receptor-Mediated Transcytosis of Leptin through Human Intestinal Cells In Vitro
Gastric Leptin is absorbed by duodenal enterocytes and released on the basolateral side towards the bloodstream. We investigated in vitro some of the mechanisms of this transport.

Lean ZSF1 rats in basic research on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Abstract Aims ZSF1 obese rats harbouring two mutant leptin receptor alleles (Leprcp and Leprfa) develop metabolic syndrome and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), making them a widely used animal model in cardiometabolic research.

Sequeira et al. reveal how the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1‐RA) semaglutide restores cardiomyocyte function in rats subjected to a high‐fat/high‐fructose diet (HFD). Employing fluorescence‐ and patch‐clamp technology in isolated cardiac myocytes, they demonstrate that semaglutide reverses HFD‐induced activation of L‐type calcium ...

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

This large cohort study of 45,664 participants from the UK Biobank provides strong epidemiological evidence that fish oil use was associated with 12% and 7% lower risks of obesity and high body fat percentage, respectively. Mechanistically, marine n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids mitigate obesity traits through PRDM16‐driven gene–nutrient interactions ...
