We conducted a prospective evaluation of the effects of chronic captopril therapy on glucose tolerance in 8 nondiabetic, hypertensive patients and 6 hypertensive patients with impaired glucose tolerance, including 3 diabetic patients. Captopril was well tolerated by all patients, and no untoward effects were observed. Chronic captopril therapy produced a significant decrease in blood pressure in all patients. No patients with normal glucose tolerance developed diabetes mellitus. Neither fasting nor post-glucose-load venous plasma glucose deteriorated in any patients during chronic captopril therapy. There were no significant changes in the insulinogenic index (delta IRI/delta BS at 30 min post-glucose load) in patients with either normal or impaired glucose tolerance. These results suggest that, in addition to its antihypertensive effect, chronic captopril therapy does not compromise glucose metabolism in hypertensive patients. Thus, captopril may have a clinical advantage in that it apparently can be given safely to hypertensive patients with either normal or impaired glucose metabolism.

Objective: Previous experiments have demonstrated that BGM0504, a GLP-1R/GIPR dual agonist drug by molecular dynamics-guided optimization, had enhanced agonistic activity compared to tirzepatide. This study aims to investigate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) in Chinese healthy volunteers.
Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and dose-escalation Phase I study was conducted as follows: a single dose (2.

Background: Postprandial glucose concentration 1-h (1 h-PG) after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) has similar or superior performance to 2 h-PG in predicting type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in several populations, and is simpler to obtain in clinical practice. However, studies in Asians are scarce. We investigated the utility of elevated baseline 1 h-PG in predicting T2DM incidence within three years, and its relationship with β-cell function in 1250 non-diabetic Asian participants.

Background: In the Kazakh community of Xinjiang, China, fermented camel milk has been traditionally used to manage diabetes. This study evaluates the effects of composite probiotics derived from fermented camel milk (CPCM) on metabolic disturbances in a rat model of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Methods: T2DM was induced in Wistar rats using streptozotocin.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) constitutes the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide. Progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the immune cell reservoir within the liver undergoes remodeling, exacerbating liver inflammation and potentially leading to liver fibrosis. Jiangtang Qingre Formula (JQF) is an effective prescription for the clinical treatment of NAFLD.

Background: Although post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common complication after kidney transplantation, there are few data on prevention, optimal screening, and treatment strategies.
Methods: The European Renal Association's DESCARTES working group distributed a web-based survey to European transplant centres to gather information on risk assessment, screening procedures, and management practices for preventing and treating PTDM in kidney transplant recipients.
Results: Answers were obtained from 121/241 transplant centres (50%) across 15 European countries.
