The inhibition of glucokinase by rat and Xenopus GKRPs (glucokinase regulatory protein) is well documented. We report a comparison of the effects of human and rat GKRPs on glucokinase activity. Human GKRP is a more potent inhibitor of glucokinase than rat GKRP in the absence of fructose 6-phosphate or sorbitol 6-phosphate, and has a higher affinity for these ligands. However, human and rat GKRPs have similar affinities for fructose 1-phosphate and chloride. Residues that are not conserved between the rodent and human proteins affect both the affinity for fructose 6-phosphate and sorbitol 6-phosphate and the inhibitory potency of GKRP on glucokinase in the absence of these ligands.

Periodontal disease is a major contributor to tooth loss worldwide in adults. Particularly, periodontal bone defect is a common clinical condition, yet current therapeutic strategies exhibit limited effectiveness. Recently, natural bone graft materials have attracted considerable interest for enhancing bone defect repair due to their superior biocompatibility and osteogenic capabilities.

Toxic-induced cerebellar syndrome (TOICS) poses substantial neurological challenges, given its diverse causes and complex manifestations. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have gained significant attention owing to enhanced biocompatibility for therapeutic interventions. We aimed to investigate the impacts of AuNPs on cerebellar cytomolecular, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural alterations in the context of phenytoin-experimentally induced TOICS.

Estrogen significantly impacts women's health, and postmenopausal hypertension is a common issue characterized by blood pressure fluctuations. Current control strategies for this condition are limited in efficacy, necessitating further research into the underlying mechanisms. Although metabolomics has been applied to study various diseases, its use in understanding postmenopausal hypertension is scarce.
