Recent studies have revealed that a novel selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) inhibiton has shown beneficial effects in cardiovascular diseases. However, the question of whether SGLT1 inhibition influences diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains unanswered. In this study, we investigated the influence and underlying mechanism of SGLTI inhibition on DCM.

The choice of glucose lowering agent in heart failure (HF)-patients can have a strong effect on HF-related adverse events, with some classes increasing and other classes reducing the risk. Little data is available about the choice of glucose lowering agents in HF-patients with type-2-diabetes. We performed a cross-sectional single centre point analysis of all patients with both a diagnoses of HF and type-2-diabetes followed in a tertiary HF-clinic.

polysaccharide is an important bioactive component of , an herb used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating inflammatory bowel disease. The NOD-like receptor protein 3 inflammasome plays an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. However, little is known about the role of NOD-like receptor protein 3 inflammasome in polysaccharide-treated mice with experimental colitis.

Catechin polymers were produced by laccase (12 U/mL) in a mixture of sodium acetate buffer (1% (+)-catechin, 100 mM, pH 5) and methanol (buffer:methanol = 95:5, v/v). The freeze-dried catechin polymers were recovered from the precipitate after dialysis followed by centrifugation. Catechin polymers extracted with 20% ethanol had potent inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 4 μg/mL, and they were present as a mixture of dimers, trimers, and tetramers.

Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin-8 (TRPM8), a recently identified member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of ion channels, is activated by mild cooling and by chemical compounds such as the supercooling agent, icilin. Since cooling, possibly involving TRPM8 stimulation, diminishes injury-induced peripheral inflammation, we hypothesized that TRPM8 activation may also attenuate systemic inflammation. We thus studied the involvement of TRPM8 in regulating colonic inflammation using two mouse models of chemically induced colitis.
