The CLCA1/TMEM16A/Cl- current axis associates with H2S deficiency in diabetic kidney injury.

The role played by anionic channels in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is not known. Chloride channel accessory 1 (CLCA1) facilitates the activity of TMEM16A (Anoctamin-1), a Ca2+-dependent Cl- channel. We examined if CLCA1/TMEM16A had a role in DKD.

Myeloid DRP1 deficiency limits revascularization in ischemic muscles via inflammatory macrophage polarization and metabolic reprogramming.

Macrophages play a crucial role in promoting perfusion recovery and revascularization after ischemia through antiinflammatory polarization, a process essential for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Mitochondrial dynamics, particularly regulated by the fission protein DRP1, are closely linked to macrophage metabolism and inflammation. However, the role of DRP1 in reparative neovascularization remains unexplored.

Quality of sleep among hypertensive patients attending a rural health training centre.

Introduction: Sleep is a vital biological, reparative, and restorative phenomenon, and poor sleep has a serious detrimental effect on health. Poor sleep quality is a serious problem as it adversely affects a person's ability to function physically and socially, as well as their potential for profession and quality of life. The degree of hypertension directly affects sleep quality, and poor sleep can exacerbate hypertensive symptoms.

Dorzagliatin: A Breakthrough Glucokinase Activator Coming on Board to Treat Diabetes Mellitus.

Dorzagliatin, an innovative dual-acting allosteric oral glucokinase activator that targets glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance, has gained approval for treating type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The effectiveness of existing antidiabetic treatments in enhancing beta cell (β-cell) activity is restricted. Currently, there are no satisfactory medications available to address the fundamental deficiency in glucose sensing for glucokinase-maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY), which is caused by mutations in the glucokinase gene; researchers have embarked on glucokinase activators.
