Reversal of Beige Fat Decline by Estrogen Through NAMPT-Regulated Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Response Abstract: Brown adipocytes are valued for their potential therapeutic effects against metabolic diseases. However, the metabolic advantages provided by these cells deteriorate with age. Our research shows that treating mice with estrogen (E2), a ...
Research Report on Comprehensive Genomic and Transcriptomic Characteristics of High-Grade Gastro-Entero-Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Research Background High-grade gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (HG GEP-NENs) are a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors characterized by neuroendocrine differentiation. According to WHO 2019 [...
Mini G Protein Inhibits Internalization of Same GPCR and Disrupts Downstream Intracellular Signaling Introduction G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of transmembrane proteins, regulating cellular responses to external stimuli such as hormones and neurotransmitters. GPCRs transmit signals by coupling with guanine nucleotide-bi...
The Level of Salivary Testosterone and Pain Perception Show Sex-Specific Associations in Healthy Adults, But Not in Migraine Patients Introduction Understanding the complexity of pain and the role gender plays in pain perception is of significant importance in medical research. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with ...
NEDDylation of Insulin Receptor Substrates as Regulators of Insulin Signaling and Its Effect on Cancer Cell Migration Academic Background In recent years, the association between cancer and diabetes has garnered significant attention due to their overlapping pathological mechanisms and epidemiological links. Epidemiological studies have shown that ...
Interaction Between Gut Microbiota and Colonic Enteroendocrine Cells Regulates Host Metabolism Research Background Obesity is a major health issue in the 21st century and a significant factor contributing to various adverse health consequences such as diabetes, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, exploring the biological me...
Preventing Diabetic Cardiomyopathy through Suppressing TGR5-Mediated Fatty Acid Uptake Background and Problem Statement Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (DBCM) is a severe complication frequently faced by diabetic patients, characterized by lipid accumulation in the myocardium and cardiac dysfunction.

Microbial Metabolite Ethylamine as FXR Agonist Promotes Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Female Mice I. Research Background and Objectives Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting 6%-20% of women of reproductive age worldwide. Symptoms of PCOS include hyperandrogenemia, ovarian dysfunction, and polycystic ...
The Coordinating Role of the Hippo-YAP/TAZ Pathway in Adipose Plasticity and Energy Balance Adipose tissue not only serves as an energy storage depot but also functions as an endocrine organ. However, the mechanisms coordinating these functions remain elusive. This study unveiled that the transcriptional co-regulators YAP and TAZ maintain metabolic...
Integrated Analysis of Blood DNA Methylation, Genetic Variation, Circulating Proteins, microRNAs, and Kidney Failure in Type 1 Diabetes Research Background Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is one of the major complications of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Approximately 40% of T1D patients develop DKD, and 10% to 15% eventually progress to Kidney Failure (KF)...
