Reduced mitophagy is an early feature of NAFLD and liver-specific PARKIN knockout hastens the onset of steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a spectrum of pathologies that includes steatosis, steatohepatitis (NASH) and fibrosis and is strongly associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Changes in mitochondrial function are implicated in the pathogenesis of NAFLD, particularly in the transition from steatosis to NASH. Mitophagy is a mitochondrial quality control mechanism that allows for the selective removal of damaged mitochondria from the cell via the autophagy pathway.

GCN5L1 impairs diastolic function in mice exposed to a high fat diet by restricting cardiac pyruvate oxidation.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is a structural and functional condition that precedes the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The etiology of diastolic dysfunction includes alterations in fuel substrate metabolism that negatively impact cardiac bioenergetics, and may precipitate the eventual transition to heart failure. To date, the molecular mechanisms that regulate early changes in fuel metabolism leading to diastolic dysfunction remain unclear.

The Councils on Chiropractic Education International Mapping Project: Comparison of Member Organizations' Educational Standards to the Councils on Chiropractic Education International Framework Document.

Objective: The purpose of this project was to investigate how well each member agency's standards complied with the Councils on Chiropractic Education International (CCEI) framework standards.

Methods: Each of the CCEI member agencies were provided with a mapping template that was approved by all representatives. A representative from each agency independently mapped their agency's standards to the CCEI framework standards using the template document.
