Targeting BCAA metabolism to potentiate metformin's therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of diabetes in mice.

Aims/hypothesis: An increasing body of evidence has shown that the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs; leucine, isoleucine and valine) is impaired in obese animals and humans, contributing to the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Promoting BCAA catabolism benefits glycaemic control. It remains unclear whether BCAA catabolism plays a role in the therapeutic efficacy of currently used glucose-lowering drugs such as metformin.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on how a drug called DPP-4 inhibitor can help prevent hyperinsulinemia (HINS), which is a warning sign for type 2 diabetes.
  • Researchers used special mice to test the drug and also looked at how exercise affects HINS.
  • The results showed that both exercise and the DPP-4 inhibitor helped reduce fat in the liver and improved how insulin works, which could delay the chances of getting type 2 diabetes.

Background: Seneca Valley virus (SVV) has emerged in multiple countries in recent years. SVV infection can cause vesicular lesions clinically indistinguishable from those caused by other vesicular disease viruses, such as foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and vesicular exanthema of swine virus (VESV). Sensitive and specific RT-PCR assays for the SVV detection is necessary for differential diagnosis.

Purpose: To investigate the long-term functional change of cryoinjury-induced detrusor underactivity (DU) and the therapeutic potential of repeated low-energy shock wave therapy (LESW).

Methods: Fifty-six female Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned into sham and cryoinjury of bladder with or without LESW (0.05 or 0.
