Pro-Arg, The Potential Anti-Diabetes Peptide, Screened from Almond by In-Silico Analysis.

Insulin resistance was considered to be the most important clinical phenotype of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Almond is a widely-consumed nut and long-term intake was beneficial to alleviating insulin resistance in patients with T2DM. Hence, screening of anti-diabetic peptides from almond proteins was feasible based on the effectiveness of peptides in the treatment of T2DM.

Palmitate potentiates the SMAD3-PAI-1 pathway by reducing nuclear GDF15 levels.

Nuclear growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) reduces the binding of the mothers' against decapentaplegic homolog (SMAD) complex to its DNA-binding elements. However, the stimuli that control this process are unknown. Here, we examined whether saturated fatty acids (FA), particularly palmitate, regulate nuclear GDF15 levels and the activation of the SMAD3 pathway in human skeletal myotubes and mouse skeletal muscle, where most insulin-stimulated glucose use occurs in the whole organism.

Adipose tissue (AT) metabolism involves coordinating various cells and cellular processes to regulate energy storage, release, and overall metabolic homeostasis. Therein, macrophage and its cytokine are important in controlling tissue homeostasis. Among cytokines, the role of transforming growth factor-β1 (Tgf-β1), a cytokine abundantly expressed in CD206 M2-like macrophage and correlated with the expansion of AT and fibrosis, in AT metabolism, remains unknown.

Ketogenesis nutritionally supports brain during bacterial infection in Drosophila.

Mounting an immune response is a nutritionally demanding process that requires the systemic redistribution of energy stores towards the immune system. This is facilitated by cytokine-induced insulin resistance, which simultaneously promotes the mobilization of lipids and carbohydrates while limiting their consumption in immune-unrelated processes, such as development, growth, and reproduction. However, this adaptation also restricts the availability of nutrients to vital organs, which must then be sustained by alternative fuels.

Pan-PPAR agonist lanifibranor improves insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis in patients with T2D and MASLD.

Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, United States of America. Electronic address:

Background & Aims: Lanifibranor is a pan-PPAR agonist that improves glucose/lipid metabolism and reverses steatohepatitis and fibrosis in adults with MASH. We tested its effect on insulin resistance at the level of different target tissues in relationship to change in intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content.

Methods: This phase 2, single center, study randomized (1:1) 38 patients with T2D and MASLD to receive lanifibranor 800 mg or placebo for 24 weeks.
