Previously, deltamethrin (a Type-II pyrethroid) has been reported to increase triglyceride (fat) accumulation in adipocytes, while its underlying molecular mechanism is not fully determined. The aim of this study was to further investigate the molecular mechanisms of deltamethrin induced fat accumulation in murine 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Consistent to previous reports, deltamethrin (10 μM) significantly promoted adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) results showed that 721 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified after deltamethrin treatment, involving in 58 Functional groups of Gene Ontology (GO) and 255 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. Several key functional groups regulating adipogenesis, such as fat cell differentiation (Igf1, Snai2, Fgf10, and Enpp1) and cytosolic calcium ion concentration (Nos1, Cxcl1, and Ngf) were significantly enriched. Collectively, these results suggest that the promotion of adipogenesis by deltamethrin was attributed to an obesogenic global transcriptomic response, which provides further understanding of the underlying mechanisms of deltamethrin-induced fat accumulation.

Transmembrane-6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2) regulates hepatic fat metabolism and is associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). TM6SF2 genetic variants are associated with steatotic liver disease. The pathogenesis of MASH involves genetic factors and gut microbiota alteration, yet the role of host-microbe interactions in MASH development remains unclear.

Background: Diabetes is a primary contributor to diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM), which is marked by metabolic imbalances such as elevated blood glucose and lipid levels, leading to significant structural and functional alterations in the myocardium. Elevated free fatty acids (FFAs) and hyperglycemia play critical roles in DbCM development, with FFAs inducing insulin resistance in cardiomyocytes and promoting lipid accumulation, resulting in oxidative stress and fibrosis. Current research suggests that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists may effectively mitigate DbCM, although an effective treatment for this condition remains elusive, and the precise mechanisms of this protective effect are not fully understood.

Adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) is often accompanied with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Although some studies reported that MASLD is ameliorated by growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT), the characteristics of AGHD that are associated with an improvement of hepatic steatosis by GHRT remain unknown. We aimed to investigate whether GHRT affects hepatic lipid accumulation as well as biochemical parameters, and investigated the association between these parameters (UMIN000044989).

The rising pandemic of obesity has received significant attention. Yet, more safe and effective targeted strategies must be used to mitigate its impact on individual health and the global disease burden. While the health benefits of resistant starch (RS) are well-documented, the role of RT-90 (a phosphate-modified tapioca RS containing 90.

Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) may contribute to the rising incidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We investigated the potential of 10 environmentally relevant EDCs to affect key events of hepatic steatosis in HepG2 human hepatoma cells. Increased lipid droplet formation, a key marker of steatosis, was induced by PFOA, bisphenol F, DDE, butylparaben, and DEHP, within the non-cytotoxic concentration range of 1 nM-25 μM.
