Introduction: Diabesity, characterized by obesity-driven Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), arises from intricate genetic and environmental interplays that induce various metabolic disorders. The systemic lipid and glucose homeostasis is controlled by an intricate cross-talk of internal glucose/insulin and fatty acid molecules to maintain a steady state of internal environment.
Methods: In this study, were maintained to achieve glucose concentrations resembling the hyperglycemic conditions in diabetic patients to delve into the mechanistic foundations of diabesity.
The eukaryotic protein synthesis process entails intricate stages governed by diverse mechanisms to tightly regulate translation. Translational regulation during stress is pivotal for maintaining cellular homeostasis, ensuring the accurate expression of essential proteins is important for survival. This selective translational control mechanism is integral to cellular adaptation and resilience under adverse conditions.

Previously, we observed increased translational efficiency of certain FMRFamide-Like neuro-Peptide () genes and the neuroprotective growth factor progranulin gene under dietary restriction in . Here, we tested the effects of , , and on lifespan and proteostasis under both standard and dietary restriction conditions.

Diet, drugs, and genetic interventions that restrict nutrients or nutrient signaling help preserve long-term muscle function and slow age-related decline. Previously, it was shown that attenuating protein synthesis downstream of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) gradually increases expression of heat shock response (HSR) genes in a manner that correlates with increased resilience to protein unfolding stress.
