Purpose: The objective of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model and investigate the effect of several demographic covariates on metformin pharmacokinetics in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, over a wide range of weights.
Methods: A total of 105 patients received different metformin regimens, and pharmacokinetic sampling included a minimum of two concentrations per patient. Plasma determination of metformin was assayed by high performance liquid chromatography. Population pharmacokinetics was modelled using a nonlinear mixed effects model program (Monolix version 3.1 s).
Results: An open one-compartment model adequately described metformin data. Lean body weight was a better size descriptor than actual body weight or ideal body weight for clearance (CL/F) and volume (V/F) parameters. CL/F was negatively related to age and serum creatinine (SCr). The estimation of specific coefficients for these effects gave better results than the use of renal function descriptors (Cockroft or MDRD). A dose effect in the relative bioavailability was demonstrated.
Conclusion: The pharmacokinetics of metformin was influenced by lean body weight on an allometric basis and was related to markers of renal function, age, and serum creatinine in this population of 105 patients.

Purpose: Motion capture technology is quickly evolving providing researchers, clinicians, and coaches with more access to biomechanics data. Markerless motion capture and inertial measurement units (IMUs) are continually developing biomechanics tools that need validation for dynamic movements before widespread use in applied settings. This study evaluated the validity of a markerless motion capture, IMU, and red, green, blue, and depth (RGBD) camera system as compared to marker-based motion capture during countermovement jumps, overhead squats, lunges, and runs with cuts.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between unintentional weight loss and 30-day mortality in sepsis patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). A retrospective cohort study sepsis patients in the ICU was conducted using data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database, involving 1842 sepsis patients in the ICU. We utilized multivariate Cox regression analysis to evaluate the association between unintentional weight loss and the risk of 30-day mortality.

Vitamin D is crucial for maintaining bone health and development, and bone mineral accumulation during childhood and adolescence affects long-term bone health. Vitamin D deficiency has been widely recognized as one of the main causes of osteoporosis and fractures, especially during the growth and development stage of children. Recent studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency may affect the deviation of bone development in children by mediating lipid metabolism disorders, but its specific mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated.

Heat stress (HS) is an impactful condition in ruminants that negatively affects their physiological and rumen microbial composition. However, a fundamental understanding of metabolomic and metataxonomic mechanisms in goats under HS conditions is lacking. Here, we analyzed the rumen metabolomics, metataxonomics, and serum metabolomics of goats (n = 10, body weight: 41.

High-fat diet (HFD) induces low-grade chronic inflammation, contributing to obesity and insulin resistance. However, the precise mechanisms triggering obesity-associated metabolic inflammation remain elusive. In this study, we identified epigenetic factor Brd4 as a key player in this process by regulating the expression of Ccr2/Ccr5 in colonic macrophage.
