Vision loss affects more than 7 million Americans and impacts quality of life, independence, social functioning, and overall health. Common and dangerous conditions causing sudden vision loss include acute angle-closure glaucoma, retinal detachment, retinal artery occlusion, giant cell arteritis, and optic neuritis. Acute angle-closure glaucoma features ocular pain, headache, and nausea; treatment includes pilocarpine eye drops, oral or intravenous acetazolamide, and intravenous mannitol.

Intestinal distension induced by luminal D-allulose promotes GLP-1 secretion in male rats.

Endocrinology

January 2025

Laboratory of Nutritional Biochemistry, Graduate School of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-8589, Japan.

The secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is promoted by various nutrients, and glucose and fructose stimulate GLP-1 secretion via intracellular metabolism. D-Allulose (allulose), a non-metabolizable epimer of D-fructose, is also effective in stimulating GLP-1 secretion, although its underlying mechanism remains unclear. We previously observed intestinal distension after the oral administration of allulose, accompanied by increased GLP-1 secretion in rats, possibly because of the low or slow absorbability of allulose.

Background: High prices and other access barriers have contributed to the rise of a market for compounded glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists for weight loss in the United States. This market has not been systematically studied. We conducted a pilot study to assess the prevalence, characteristics, and advertising content of direct-to-consumer providers of compounded glucagon-like peptide-1 products for weight loss in Colorado.

Exploring the causal relationship between inflammatory cytokines, metabolites, and Behcet's syndrome: Mendelian randomization.

Cytokine

February 2025

Department of Periodontology and Oral Mucosa, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China; Heilongjiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Hard Tissue Development and Regeneration, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • Behcet's syndrome causes oral ulcers and involves complex inflammatory processes; this study investigates the relationship between inflammatory cytokines, metabolites, and the disease's development using Mendelian randomization.
  • The research analyzed associations between 91 cytokines and 553 metabolites through genetic variants (SNPs) and employed various statistical tests to ensure reliability.
  • Five substances, including specific interleukins and a metabolite, were found to be causally related to the syndrome, providing potential markers for diagnosis and treatment, but more research is needed to confirm their efficacy as targets for therapy.
