In search for new targets for obesity treatment, we have studied the effect of several transcription factors on the conversion of murine preadipocytes from the 3T3-L1 cell line into adipocytes. We have found that knockdown of Prep1 gene expression affects adipogenic differentiation and results in significant increase in the insulin-sensitive glucose carrier Glut4 gene expression.

Sex differences in brain metabolism and their relationship to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are an important emerging topic in neuroscience. Intrinsic anatomic and metabolic differences related to male and female physiology have been described, underscoring the importance of considering biological sex in studying brain metabolism and associated pathologies. The hippocampus is a key structure exhibiting sex differences in volume and connectivity.

Introduction: Skeletal muscle is the largest insulin-sensitive tissue in the human body, alteration in muscle mass and strength substantially impact glucose metabolism. This systematic review aims to investigate further the relationship between muscle mass and strength towards type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) incidence.
Methods: This systematic review included cohort studies that examinedthe relationship between muscle mass and/or muscle strength on T2DM incidence.

The athlete's paradox states that intramyocellular triglyceride accumulation associates with insulin resistance in sedentary but not in endurance-trained humans. Underlying mechanisms and the role of muscle lipid distribution and composition on glucose metabolism remain unclear. We compared highly trained athletes (ATHL) with sedentary normal weight (LEAN) and overweight-to-obese (OVWE) male and female individuals.

Initially intended to control blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, semaglutide, a potent glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue, has been established as an effective weight loss treatment by controlling appetite. Integrating the latest clinical trials, semaglutide in patients with or without diabetes presents significant therapeutic efficacy in ameliorating cardiometabolic risk factors and physical functioning, independent of body weight reduction. Semaglutide may modulate adipose tissue browning, which enhances human metabolism and exhibits possible benefits in skeletal muscle degeneration, accelerated by obesity and ageing.

Recent studies have identified selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) modulators, which synergistically engage in the inhibition mechanism of PPARγ-Ser273 phosphorylation, as a promising approach for developing safer and more effective antidiabetic drugs. Herein, we present the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a new class of organo-Se compounds, namely, benzothiaselenazole-1-oxides (BTSAs), acting as potent, reversible, and selective PPARγ covalent modulators. Notably, , especially , displayed a high binding affinity and superior antidiabetic effects with diminished side effects.
