New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) has serious consequences for the patient in terms of overall survival, graft function and graft survival. The incidence of NODAT and impaired glucose tolerance has probably been underestimated previously because of lack of a universal diagnostic definition. Many risk factors have been identified, a proportion of which are modifiable. Early identification of those who are at high risk of NODAT and strategies to reduce risk will help to reduce the morbidity and mortality resulting from this condition. Where prevention is not possible, stringent management strategies are essential. Although, this article focuses on NODAT in the renal transplant recipient and considers the scale of the problem, impact on patient and transplant survival, determinants and risk factors for, and the management of, impaired glucose tolerance and NODAT, much of it will also be applicable to other types of solid organ transplantation.

Retinoids and retinoid-binding proteins: Unexpected roles in metabolic disease.

Curr Top Dev Biol

January 2025

Department of Pharmacology and Cleveland Center for Membrane and Structural Biology, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, United States.

Alterations in tissue expression levels of both retinol-binding protein 2 (RBP2) and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) have been associated with metabolic disease, specifically with obesity, glucose intolerance and hepatic steatosis. Our laboratories have shown that this involves novel pathways not previously considered as possible linkages between impaired retinoid metabolism and metabolic disease development. We have established both biochemically and structurally that RBP2 binds with very high affinity to very long-chain unsaturated 2-monoacylglycerols like the canonical endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) and other endocannabinoid-like substances.

Background And Aims: Maternal diet and health may influence a child's later neurodevelopment. We investigated the effect of maternal diet, adiposity, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and depressive/anxiety symptoms during pregnancy on the child's motor outcome at 5-6 years.

Methods: The motor performance of 159 children of women with overweight or obesity (pre-pregnancy body mass index 25-29.

Background: The current study investigated the effects of high-fat diet on acute response to 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) in mice. MDPV is a beta-cathinone derivative endowed with psychostimulant activity. Similarly to recreational substances, consumption of palatable food stimulates the mesolimbic dopaminergic system, resulting in neuroadaptive changes.

Aging is accompanied by a decline in neovascularization potential and increased susceptibility to ischemic injury. Here, we confirm the age-related impaired neovascularization following ischemic leg injury and impaired angiogenesis. The age-related deficits in angiogenesis arose primarily from diminished EC proliferation capacity, but not migration or VEGF sensitivity.

Primitive to visceral endoderm maturation is essential for mouse epiblast survival beyond implantation.

iScience

January 2025

Mammalian Embryo and Stem Cell Group, University of Cambridge, Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3DY, UK.

The implantation of the mouse blastocyst initiates a complex sequence of tissue remodeling and cell differentiation events required for morphogenesis, during which the extraembryonic primitive endoderm transitions into the visceral endoderm. Through single-cell RNA sequencing of embryos at embryonic day 5.0, shortly after implantation, we reveal that this transition is driven by dynamic signaling activities, notably the upregulation of BMP signaling and a transient increase in Sox7 expression.
