Aims: To investigate the effect of exenatide on glucose disposal, insulin secretion, ß-cell function, lipolysis and hormone concentrations in non-diabetic, morbidly obese subjects under physiological conditions.
Materials And Methods: Patients were assigned to exenatide 10 µg twice daily (EXE, n = 15) or control (CT, n = 15) for 3 months. Patients received a meal test/tracer study (MTT) to measure endogenous glucose production (EGP), rate of oral glucose appearance (RaO), insulin secretion rate (ISR), ß-cell function, hepatic insulin resistance (HIR) and adipose tissue insulin resistance (AT-IR) and insulin sensitivity (IS).
Results: Post treatment, the EXE group showed a significant reduction in body weight ( P < .001). The postmeal time-course of glucose, insulin and ISR showed a lower peak between 60 and 180 minutes in phase with a reduction in RaO ( P < .01). After an initial similar suppression, EGP resumed at higher rates between 60 and 180 minutes ( P = .02) in EXE vs CT, while total RaO and EGP were similar throughout the MTT. In EXE, the postmeal glucagon, GLP1 and GIP responses were reduced ( P < .05). Fasting and postprandial lipolysis and ß-cell function were unaltered by active treatment. HIR, AT-IR and IS were all improved after exenatide treatment ( P < .05).
Conclusions: In morbidly obese non-diabetic subjects, exenatide causes weight loss, decreased postprandial glycaemia and glucagon response without changes in ß-cell function. These effects are consequent upon delayed oral glucose appearance in the circulation. Exenatide treatment is also associated with an improvement in hepatic, adipose tissue and whole-body IS with no influence on postprandial lipolysis.

Background: Cellulose polymers with multidentate chelating functionalities that have high efficiency for toxic metal ions present in water were designed, synthesized, and analyzed. The synthesis was carried out by reacting microcrystalline cellulose extracted from the solid waste of the olive industry with tert-Butyl acetoacetate (Cell-AA), produced cellulose with β-ketoester functionality was then reacted with aniline and the amino acid glycine to produce Cell-β-AN and Cell-β-GL, respectively.
Results: The adsorption efficiency of the three polymers toward Pb(II) and various toxic metal ions present in sewage was evaluated as a function of adsorbent dose, time, temperature, pH value, and initial ion concentration to determine optimum adsorption conditions.

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among men. African Americans (AA) are at an increased risk of developing prostate cancer compared to European Americans (EA). miRNAs play a critical role in these tumors, leading to tumor progression.

Ethnicity is considered to be one of the major risk factors in certain subtypes of breast cancer. However, the mechanism of this racial disparity remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that SOS1, a key regulator of Ras pathway, is highly expressed in African-American (AA) patients with breast cancer compared with Caucasian-American patients.

The chitinolytic system of thus far comprises two chitinases, ChiA and ChiB, and a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase, Lmo2467. The role of the system in the bacterium appears to be pleiotropic, as besides mediating the hydrolysis of chitin, the second most ubiquitous carbohydrate in nature, the chitinases have been deemed important for the colonization of unicellular molds, as well as mammalian hosts. To identify additional components of the chitinolytic system, we screened a transposon mutant library for mutants exhibiting impaired chitin hydrolysis.

6-OHDA plus ascorbic acid (AA) has long been used to induce Parkinson's disease in rodents, while only 6-OHDA is commonly used to induce cell damage in cellular PD models. AA was believed to act as an anti-oxidant to prevent the degradation of 6-OHDA; however, some studies suggested that AA dramatically enhanced the selectivity and toxicity of 6-OHDA. To understand the mechanisms by which 6-OHDA/AA induces cell death, we established a 6-OHDA/AA cell toxicity model in human dopaminergic neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.
