Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a chronic condition encompassing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver (MASL) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), which can progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The heterogeneous and complex nature of MASLD complicates optimal drug development. Ebastine, an antihistamine, exhibits antitumor activity in various types of cancer.

Sulfated progesterone metabolites (PMxS) increase during gestation and are raised further in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a disorder characterised by pruritus and elevated serum bile acids. PMxS interact with bile acid receptor G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) to cause itch. We investigated whether PMxS could undergo enterohepatic recycling and stimulate intestinal GPBAR1-mediated release of gut hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY).

Aim: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic syndrome characterised by absolute or relative insufficiency of insulin secretion. The alkaloids from Rhizoma coptidis have potential hypoglycemic effects. Epiberberine (EPI), a protoberberine alkaloid extracted from Rhizome coptidis, has been found to regulate lipid metabolism.

Lung ischemia reperfusion injury (LIRI) represents an evitable but significant pathologic complication post pulmonary transplantation. Dexmedetomidine (Dex) that is extensively applied as an anesthetic adjuvant in the intensive care setting has increasingly presented outstandingly protective effect on LIRI. This article concerns the elaborate role of Dex in ferroptosis after LIRI and the correlative downstream mechanism.
