Article Abstract
The effects of hyperinsulinemia on local cerebral glucose utilization were studied by the quantitative autoradiographic 2-[14C]deoxyglucose method in normal conscious rats under steady-state normoglycemic conditions. Hyperinsulinemia and a steady state of normoglycemia were achieved and maintained during the experimental period by a continuous intravenous (i.v.) infusion of insulin given simultaneously with a programmed i.v. infusion of D-glucose. Hyperinsulinemia under normoglycemic conditions did not change the average rate of glucose utilization in the brain as a whole, but significant increases in local glucose utilization were found selectively in the ventromedial, dorsomedial, and anterior hypothalamic nuclei. The results suggest that a known anatomical pathway linking the dorsomedial and anterior nuclei with the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus may be physiologically activated in response to hyperinsulinemia.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to a more rapid development of DM cardiomyopathy (dbCM) and progression to heart failure in women than men. Combination of high-fat diet (HFD) and freshly-injected streptozotocin (STZ) has been widely used for DM induction, however emerging data shows that anomer-equilibrated STZ produces an early onset and robust DM model. We designed a novel protocol utilising a combination of multiple doses of anomer-equilibrated STZ injections and HFD to develop a stable murine DM model featuring dbCM analogous to humans.

Tacrolimus (TAC) is an immunosuppressant widely utilized in organ transplantation. One of its primary adverse effects is glucose metabolism disorder, which significantly increases the risk of diabetes. Investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying TAC-induced diabetes is essential for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies for these adverse effects.

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are known for their cardiovascular benefits, but their impact on serum uric acid levels is not well understood. This study evaluates the hypouricemic effects of SGLT2is and their potential cardiovascular implications.
Methods: A network meta-analysis was performed, including 56 studies (16,788 participants) contributing data to the meta-analysis.

Aim: To assess the perceptions of adults with diabetes regarding their care and health during the COVID-19 pandemic in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland.
Methods: Cross-sectional data was analysed from the 2021 follow-up questionnaire of the CoDiab-VD survey, a cohort of adults living with diabetes in the canton of Vaud. Various aspects of diabetes care and issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic were assessed.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a type of head-to-tail closed RNA molecules, have been implicated in various aspects of plant development and stress responses through transcriptome sequencing; however, the precise functional roles of circRNAs in plants remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified a highly expressed circular RNA, circZmMED16, derived from exon 8 of the mediator complex subunit 16 (ZmMED16) across different maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines using circRNA-seq analysis.
