Article Synopsis
  • Beige fat activation shifts energy use to fatty acid oxidation after chronic cold exposure, involving a protein called ACSL1 located in mitochondria.
  • Sortilin is an endosomal trafficking component that helps direct ACSL1 for degradation, affecting its levels in adipose tissues during beige fat activation.
  • Lowering sortilin in fat cells raises mitochondrial ACSL1, boosts AMPK/PGC1α signaling, enhances beige fat activation, and may help combat obesity and insulin resistance linked to high-fat diets.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of global cardiovascular mortality. Refractory angina pectoris, a manifestation of CAD, requires effective drug treatments. Pericarpium Trichosanthis injection, a traditional Chinese medicine, improves cardiovascular symptoms, while nicorandil alleviates spasms and angina.

Background: Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21 syndrome, is commonly associated with congenital heart disease, and can often result in early formation of pulmonary hypertension. The development of pulmonary hypertension can result from factors such as intracardiac and macrovascular shunts, and upper airway obstruction or hypoplasia of lung tissue. Individuals with Down syndrome and congenital heart disease have a significantly lower average life expectancy, with surgical intervention being the most viable treatment option to improve longevity.

Inhibition of immunocyte infiltration and activation has been suggested to effectively ameliorate nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PirB) and its human ortholog receptor, leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B (LILRB2), are immune-inhibitory receptors. However, their role in NASH pathogenesis is still unclear.
