Article Synopsis
- Obesity and body fat distribution are linked to type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, highlighting the importance of understanding how different fat cells function.
- Recent research identified a protein called LMO3 in visceral adipocytes, which may play a role in regulating adipocyte functions during obesity, but its specific purpose remains to be clarified.
- The study demonstrated that increasing LMO3 expression in mice led to improved insulin sensitivity and enhanced glucose uptake in fat cells, suggesting it could be a potential target for addressing obesity-related metabolic issues.
Article Synopsis
- Sepsis negatively affects capillary function and oxygen delivery, potentially worsening patient outcomes.
- Lower levels of immunoglobulin G2 do not contribute to severe flu complications, suggesting other factors may play a role in flu severity.
- New research indicates that intravenous immunoglobulin may provide brain protection during sepsis by blocking harmful immune responses such as complement activation and apoptosis. *
Background & Aims: Circulating testosterone is usually reduced in men with cirrhosis, but there has not been a comprehensive analysis of androgen status or circulating oestrogens. Little is known about associations between circulating sex steroids with aspects of health in this population.
Methods: We report data from men with cirrhosis and low serum testosterone (<12 nmol/L or calculated free testosterone <230 pmol/L).
