This study reports on 22 patients (18 men, 4 women), 45-83-year-old admitted to hospital less than 24 h after the first clinical signs of myocardial infarction. Lipids, lipoproteins, serum insulin and growth hormone, urinary cortisol and vanillylmandelic acid and blood glucose were analysed on the day of admission (day 1) and on days 2, 4 and 8 of the acute phase. Results for lipoproteins generally confirm those of earlier studies: lowered total cholesterol (day 1-8), LDL-cholesterol (day 1-2), HDL-cholesterol (day 2-8), LDL apo B (day 1-2) and apo A-1 (day 1-8). There was no significant correlation between stress hormone and plasma lipoprotein alterations. Blood glucose decreased progressively (P less than 0.05) between day 1 and day 8. Glucose value at day 1 correlated significantly with nonesterified fatty acids, total cholesterol and LDL constituents, but not with HDL-cholesterol and apo A-1. Metabolic disturbances modifying blood glucose thus might be involved in LDL changes, whereas other processes govern HDL changes.

Flexible sweat sensors possess the special potential for continuous non-invasive monitoring of human blood glucose. We put forward a flexible microcolumn array sensor, which is designed for health monitoring by means of detecting glucose levels in sweat and capturing physiological signals related to human movement. With the combination of silk fibroin (SF), waterborne polyurethane (PU), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), this microcolumn film electrode is able to effectively function as a strain sensor benefiting from the superior mechanical performance of PU.

Background: Many factors are associated with the development and progression of liver fat and fibrosis; however, genetics and the gut microbiota are representative factors. Moreover, recent studies have indicated a link between host genes and the gut microbiota. This study investigated the effect of patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 (C > G), which has been reported to be most involved in the onset and progression of fatty liver, on liver fat and fibrosis in a cohort study related to gut microbiota in a non-fatty liver population.

The association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and the subsequent development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Japanese general population remains unclear. To investigate the influence of HDP on long-term postpartum development of metabolic disorders and T2D, we conducted a population-based cross-sectional study using the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (75g-OGTT) in 978 parous Japanese women (median age: 66 years). We further evaluated the combined effect of HDP and T2D susceptibility genes on developing T2D.

We examined whether the glucose levels and awareness of individuals without diabetes changed after using a sensor-based intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) system in their daily lives. Japanese individuals without a diabetes diagnosis wore the isCGM system while maintaining a normal lifestyle during the baseline period. A certified diabetes educator coached them on how to improve their lifestyle based on information from sensor data, food journals, and body composition.

Acetyl-CoA Synthetase Short Chain Family Member-1 (ACSS1) catalyzes the ligation of acetate and coenzyme A to generate acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria to produce ATP through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. We recently generated an ACSS1-acetylation (Ac) mimic knock-in mouse, where lysine 635 was mutated to glutamine (K635Q), which structurally and biochemically mimics an acetylated lysine. ACSS1 enzymatic activity is regulated, at least in part, through the acetylation of lysine 635 in mice (lysine 642 in humans), a Sirtuin 3 deacetylation target.
