Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are strongly associated with glucose homeostasis, but their roles remain largely unknown. In this study, the potential role of lncRNA-Snhg3 in glucose metabolism was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. Here, we found a positive relationship between Snhg3 and hepatic glycogenesis. Glucose tolerance improved in hepatocyte-specific Snhg3 knock-in (Snhg3-HKI) mice, while it worsened in hepatocyte-specific Snhg3 knockout (Snhg3-HKO) mice. Furthermore, hepatic glycogenesis had shown remarkable increase in Snhg3-HKI mice and reduction in Snhg3-HKO mice, respectively. Mechanistically, Snhg3 increased mRNA and protein expression levels of PPP1R3B through inducing chromatin remodeling and promoting the phosphorylation of protein kinase B. Collectively, these results suggested that lncRNA-Snhg3 plays a critical role in hepatic glycogenesis.

Background And Aims: Limited data link manufactured sweeteners impact on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We aimed to evaluate the effects of manufactured sugars (L-glucose) compared to natural sugars (D-glucose) on phenotype, molecular and metabolic changes in mice models fed with either regular diet (RD) or high fat diet (HFD).
Methods: C57BL/6 mice fed 16-weeks with either RD; 70% carbohydrate or HFD; 60% fat, with or without additional glucose (Glu, at 18% w/v) to drinking tap water at weeks 8-16; of either natural (D-Glu) or manufactured (L-Glu) sugars.

Dechlorane plus (DP), a widely used flame retardant, was added to Annex A of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2023. This study aimed to investigate the effects of DP on glucose and lipid metabolism by orally exposing eight-week-old male mice to environmentally relevant concentrations of DP (0.5, 1, and 5 mg/kg/day) for six weeks.

Hepatic glycogen storage disease type IX γ2 (GSD IX γ2) is a severe, liver-specific subtype of GSD IX. While all patients with hepatic GSD IX present with similar symptoms, over 95 % of patients with GSD IX γ2 progress to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Despite disease severity, the long-term natural history of GSD IX γ2 liver disease progression is not known.

The liver plays an important role in the control of glucose homeostasis. When insulin levels are low, such as in the fasting state, gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis are stimulated to maintain the blood glucose levels. Conversely, in the presence of increased insulin levels, such as after a meal, synthesis of glycogen and lipid occurs to maintain the blood glucose levels within normal range.

Article Synopsis
- FGF19 is a hormone produced in the intestines that helps regulate bile acid synthesis and glucose metabolism in the liver, influenced by bile acids interacting with the FXR in the gut.
- A study aimed to compare serum FGF19 levels in dogs with gallbladder mucoceles (GBMs) to healthy control dogs, using abdominal imaging and blood tests for diagnosis.
- Results showed that dogs with GBMs had significantly lower levels of FGF19 compared to control dogs, suggesting that GBM may negatively impact bile flow and liver metabolism in these animals.
