Microbes4U - Case study
The Microbes4U® study is the first randomized double-blind placebo-controlled pilot study to evaluate the effects of pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila administered in humans. The main objectives of the Microbes4U® study were to determine the safety, tolerance and metabolic parameters (i.e., insulin resistance, circulating lipids, visceral adiposity, body mass) after 3 months of daily ...

Akkermansia muciniphila - Preclinical studies
A large body of evidence suggests that Akkermansia muciniphila may help protect against specific metabolic disorders and cardiometabolic risk factors associated with a low-grade inflammatory status. Indeed, preclinical studies performed in diet-induced obese mice revealed very interesting beneficial effects linked to the daily oral administration of Akkermansia muciniphila. Giving the ...

A human in vitro three-dimensional bioprinted liver tissue system can be used to model nutritional damage and protective effects of MSDC-0602K, a novel modulator of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC)
Publication Summary: The growing global incidence of NASH mirrors the availability of nutrients. Over-nutrition also results in insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes, which are often co-morbidities associated with NASH and are known to drive more adverse outcomes. MSDC-0602K, a modulator of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), is in clinical trials as a potential treatment for NASH. ...

Increased insulin action in skip heterozygous knockout mice
Insulin controls glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism, and insulin impairment plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. Human skeletal muscle and kidney enriched inositol polyphosphate phosphatase (SKIP) is a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate phosphatase family (T. Ijuin et al. J. Biol. Chem. 275:10870-10875, 2000; T. Ijuin and T. Takenawa, Mol. ...

In Silico Development of Combinatorial Therapeutic Approaches Targeting Key Signaling Pathways in Metabolic Syndrome
Purpose Dysregulations of key signaling pathways in metabolic syndrome are multifactorial, eventually leading to cardiovascular events. Hyperglycemia in conjunction with dyslipidemia induces insulin resistance and provokes release of proinflammatory cytokines resulting in chronic inflammation, accelerated lipid peroxidation with further development of atherosclerotic alterations and diabetes. We ...

How treatment of homes for termites decades ago may cause diabetes today
Obesity has been accepted as a risk factor for diabetes but results of four recently published studies have now revealed that insecticides in fat of patients may be the real risk factor. The initial investigations showed that the expected association between obesity and diabetes/insulin resistance was absent in people who had low levels of organochlorine insecticides in their blood (1, 2). ...

A New System for the Regulation of Glucose and Lipid Metabolism Found
Diabetes affects more than 400 million people worldwide and is a huge public health burden. Obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes and leads to insulin resistance that often precedes diabetes. Currently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 80 diabetes susceptibility loci, and an increasing number of mutations and variants have been identified in monogenic forms ...

A Closer Look at Metabolic Disease Models and Diabetes Models
Diabetes, specifically Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, remains one of the most commonly encountered metabolic diseases worldwide. The complexity and diversity of these conditions necessitate the development of detailed medical models for a comprehensive understanding of the diseases. Over time, Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Models, Metabolic Disease Models, and generalized Diabetes ...

LncRNA Sequencing Helps to Find Deep Links to Disease
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of RNAs that do not code for proteins and are typically greater than 200 nucleotides in length. Studies have shown that lncRNAs are quite complex in function and play an important role in various biological processes such as development, differentiation, proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, stem cell pluripotency, and DNA damage. Therefore, those ...

Degradation of splicing factor SRSF3 contributes to progressive liver disease
Abstract Serine-rich splicing factor 3 (SRSF3) plays a critical role in liver function and its loss promotes chronic liver damage and regeneration. As a consequence, genetic deletion of SRSF3 in hepatocytes caused progressive liver disease and ultimately led to hepatocellular carcinoma. Here we show that SRSF3 is decreased in human liver samples with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), ...

Efficacy and Detection of Ceramide
Ceramides are composed of sphingosine analogs and long-chain fatty acids bound by amide bonds, and are the most important of the sphingolipid compounds. Ceramide is synthesized and secreted by lamellar vesicles, which together with cholesterol (25%) and free fatty acids (15%) constitute the intercellular lipids (ceramide 50%) involved in maintaining the skin barrier function. It also has various ...

Detailed Introduction to the Four Effects of Probiotics
Probiotics, in simple terms, are a group of microorganisms that can effectively promote human health. They can resist gastric acid and bile acid, and can attach and colonize in the intestinal tract. According to statistics, the human gastrointestinal tract contains a rich and diverse microbial community, gathering more than 100 trillion microorganisms. These microbiomes encode more than 3 million ...

Glucose Clamp Technique: Types & Applications
Glucose clamping has become a standard, widely used technique in researching diabetes treatment as well as obesity and fatty liver studies. We've taken a look at the types and applications of clamp study and their impact on the field. The Glucose clamp technique was first developed in 1979 by professors at the UT School of Medicine: DeFronzo, Andres and Tobin as a method of measuring insulin ...

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver and How Fucoxanthin Might Help
Many may not have heard of nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) yet it is a very common condition. If NAFL is not addressed, it can progress to a serious condition known as Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) Non-alcoholic fatty liver is the buildup of extra fat in liver cells that is not caused by alcohol. It is normal for the liver to contain some fat. However, if more than 5% -10% percent of ...

Diabetes: Medications, Treatments, and Remedies
Lifestyle can have a big impact on how your body handles blood glucose and sometimes a change in habits and activities is all that’s needed to prevent or better manage diabetes. But if changes in lifestyle aren’t enough to keep blood sugar levels normal, your doctor may prescribe medication to help lower insulin levels or insulin therapy. We’ll discuss here the most often ...

Research Progress of Tetrahydrocurcumin
Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC), as the most active and main metabolite produced in the metabolism of curcumin in vivo, can be isolated from the cytoplasm of the small intestine and liver after curcumin administration in human or mouse. Tetrahydrocurcumin can effectively inhibit tyrosinase, inhibit the generation of Oxygen Free Radicals and scavenge the formed free radicals. It has obvious antioxidant ...

Distinct signatures of gut microbiome and metabolites associated with significant fibrosis in non-obese NAFLD
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with obesity but also found in non-obese individuals. Gut microbiome profiles of 171 Asians with biopsy-proven NAFLD and 31 non-NAFLD controls are analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing; an independent Western cohort is used for external validation. Subjects are classified into three subgroups according to histological spectra of NAFLD or ...
