Plasma levels of anti phosphocholine IgM antibodies are negatively correlated with bone mineral density in humans.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism and Center for Musculoskeletal Disease Research, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, 4301 W. Markham, #587, Little Rock, AR, 72205, USA.

Phosphatidylcholine is a ubiquitous phospholipid. It contains a phosphocholine (PC) headgroup and polyunsaturated fatty acids that, when oxidized, form reactive oxidized phospholipids (PC-OxPLs). PC-OxPLs are pathogenic in multiple diseases and neutralized by anti-PC IgM antibodies.

Objective: Effective methods for establishing an aged animal model of diabetes and glycemic fluctuation have rarely been investigated. The aim of the study was to explore the feasibility of inducing glycemic fluctuation in aged Sprague-Dawley rats and to evaluate the corresponding changes in cognitive function.

Methods: Male rats aged 48 weeks were fed a high-fat and high-glucose diet and given streptozotocin intraperitoneally to establish a rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

OTUB1 mediates PARP1 deubiquitination to alleviate NAFLD by regulating HMGB1.

Exp Cell Res

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, Hengyang City, 421001, Hunan province, China; Department of Gastroenterology, Ningyuan County People's Hospital, Yongzhou City, 425600, Hunan province, China. Electronic address:

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic disease characterized by hepatocyte steatosis, which excludes alcohol, drugs and other definite liver damage-related factors. It has been reported that OTUB1 serves a significant role in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. The present study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of OTUB1 on regulating NAFLD.

GDF15 inhibits early-stage adipocyte differentiation by enhancing HOP2 expression and suppressing C/EBPα expression.

Mol Cell Endocrinol

January 2025

Department of Otolaryngology, School of Medicine, Ajou University, Suwon, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Excessive adipocyte differentiation and accumulation contribute to the development of metabolic disorders. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) plays an essential role in energy homeostasis and is considered an anti-obesity factor; however, elevated serum levels of endogenous GDF15 have been reported in certain individuals with obesity. In this study, to gain a better understanding of this complex relationship between GDF15 levels and obesity, we investigated GDF15 expression and function during adipogenesis.

Background: Obesity and overweight are associated with low-grade inflammation induced by adipose tissue expansion and perpetuated by altered intestinal homeostasis, including increased epithelial permeability. Intestinal epithelium functions are supported by intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) mitochondria function.

Methods And Results: Here, we report that diet-induced obesity (DIO) in mice induces lipid metabolism adaptations favoring lipid storage in IEC together with reduced number, altered dynamics and diminished oxidative phosphorylation activity of IEC mitochondria.
