Published: January 1999

The author presents a review on candidate genes of proteins involved in the metabolism of glucose, lipids and other metabolites (glucose carriers, insulin receptors, proinsulin, glucokinase, amyline, glycogen synthase). One of the main causes of enhanced atherogenesis in patients with type II diabetes (NIDDM) are marked genetically conditioned deviations of the lipid, lipoprotein and apolipoprotein metabolism. In the metabolic dyshomeostasis of multiple metabolic syndrome participate in the process of atherogenesis also: isoforms of apolipoprotein E4, isoforms of apolipoprotein A-IV-1/1, hyperuricaemia, raised levels of the plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), hyperfibrinogenaemia, hyperhomocysteinaemia and other metabolites (cytokines, endothelin etc.). Patients with a greated genetic sensitivity manifest diabetes sooner and more intensely and die at a younger age in particular from cardiovascular disease, but also on account of a higher incidence of tumours diseases.

Background: Social media has become a widely used way for people to share opinions about health care and medical topics. Social media data can be leveraged to understand patient concerns and provide insight into why patients may turn to the internet instead of the health care system for health advice.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a method to investigate Reddit posts discussing health-related conditions.

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Its complex molecular mechanisms and high tumor heterogeneity pose significant challenges for clinical treatment. The manganese ion metabolism family plays a crucial role in various biological processes, and the abnormal expression of the NUDT3 gene in multiple cancers has drawn considerable attention.

Current guidelines to prevent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are based on risk assessments that include age, sex, and virological and biochemical parameters. The study aim was to investigate the impact of predictive markers on long-term outcomes. The clinical outcomes of 100 patients with chronic hepatitis B were investigated 30 years after a baseline assessment that included liver biopsy.

Rare inherited diseases caused by mutations in the copper transporters (CTR1) or induce copper deficiency in the brain, causing seizures and neurodegeneration in infancy through poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we used multiple model systems to characterize the molecular mechanisms by which neuronal cells respond to copper deficiency. Targeted deletion of CTR1 in neuroblastoma cells produced copper deficiency that produced a metabolic shift favoring glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation.

Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) are an important class of nutrients and are involved in lipid metabolism. The positions of the C=C bond and cis-trans isomerism have a significant influence on their physiological activity. However, simultaneously detecting these two structural properties has been challenging due to multiple isomers of MUFA.
