Piezoelectric signals were obtained from samples based on hydroxyapatite (HAp) and collagen (C) containing different glucose (G) concentrations. HAp was obtained by coprecipitation using Ca and HPO as precursor ions in solution. C and G were added at the beginning of the coprecipitation method during the HAp growth. The presence of glucose in HAp and collagen samples drastically reduces the voltage amplitudes and considerably increases the relaxation times of the piezoelectric signals. HAp and collagen are the main constituents of bone, muscle, etc., then, it is possible to use piezoelectric technology for local and early detection of high glucose concentrations: small pressures applied by electrodes or by actuators placed in appropriate places on the body to establish a background concentration and, from this, to determine regions of the body with high local glucose concentrations: weak signals and large relaxation times are associated with a diminishing in the sensitivity, and are indicative of the presence of regions of abnormally high glucose concentrations.

The ruthenium compounds have been known to have the wide range of potential applications as anticancer, antibacterial and anti-diabetic etc. The ligand substitutions play a vital role in enhancing the pharmacological and biological activities. In the present study, three ruthenium-metal based complexes, designated as (I-III), were synthesized and characterized employing element analysis, FTIR and HNMR.

Regulating insulin production by pancreatic beta cells is crucial for maintaining metabolic balance. Previous studies observed elevated neurotransmitter levels, like norepinephrine (NE), in metabolic syndrome mice with impaired insulin secretion. Given the therapeutic potential of β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) for diabetes and obesity, and the lack of structural data on murine β-ARs, we aimed to construct and validate 3D models to investigate their roles in insulin secretion regulation.

Background: Although emerging evidence suggests that indole derivatives, microbial metabolites of tryptophan, may improve cardiometabolic health, the effective metabolites remain unclear. Also, the gut microbiota that involved in producing indole derivatives are less studied. We identified microbial taxa that can predict serum concentrations of the key indole metabolite indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) at population level and investigated the associations of indole derivatives and IPA-predicting microbial genera with cardiometabolic risk markers.

Viruses are dependent on cellular energy metabolism for their replication, and the drug nitazoxanide (Alinia) was shown to interfere with both processes. Nitazoxanide is an uncoupler of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Our hypothesis was that mitochondrial uncoupling underlies the antiviral effects of nitazoxanide.
