Obesity due to excessive body fat accumulation remains a global problem. Patients with obesity have high cortisol levels, and its dysregulation is caused by increased 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) levels. The effects and mechanism of J2H-1702, an 11β-HSD1 inhibitor, on nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) were explored.

The association of necrosis in tumors with poor prognosis implies a potential tumor-promoting role. However, the mechanisms underlying cell death in this context and how damaged tissue contributes to tumor progression remain unclear. Here, we identified p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38 MAPK, a.

Preserving the balance of metabolic processes in endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), is crucial for optimal vascular function and integrity. ECs are metabolically active and depend on aerobic glycolysis to efficiently produce energy for their essential functions, which include regulating vascular tone. Impaired EC metabolism is linked to endothelial damage, increased permeability and inflammation.

Ice plant () is a vegetable with various therapeutic uses, one of which is its ability to prevent diabetes. The present study examined the insulin secretion effect related to the mechanism of action of ice plant extract (IPE) and its active compound D-pinitol in a rat insulin-secreting β-cell line, INS-1, as well as in diabetic rats. : The glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) test and Western blotting were used to measure GSIS.

During skeletal muscle unloading, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and especially PI3K gamma (PI3Kγ), can be activated by changes in membrane potential. Activated IP3 can increase the ability of Ca to enter the nucleus through IP3 receptors. This may contribute to the activation of transcription factors that initiate muscle atrophy processes.
