Adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a crucial role in regulation of metabolic homeostasis. To understand the role of the catalytic α2 subunit of AMPK in skeletal muscle energy metabolism, myotube cultures were established from and mice. Myotubes from mice had lower basal oleic acid and glucose oxidation compared to myotubes from mice. However, the relative response to mitochondrial uncoupling was increased for oleic acid oxidation. Incorporation of acetate into lipids was also lower in myotubes from mice. Proteomics analysis revealed that myotubes had upregulated pathways related to mitochondrial function and fatty acid oxidation, and decreased pathways related to fatty acid biosynthesis. In conclusion, ablation of AMPKα2 catalytic subunit in skeletal muscle cells resulted in reduced basal oxidation of glucose and fatty acids, however upregulated pathways related to mitochondrial function and fatty acid oxidation and reduced lipid formation.

Object: Neuroinflammation mediated by microglia has emerged as a critical factor in ischemic stroke and neuronal damage. Gualou Guizhi Granule (GLGZG) has been shown to suppress inflammation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated microglia, though the underlying mechanisms and its protective effects against neuronal apoptosis remain unclear. This study aims to investigate how GLGZG regulates the Notch signaling pathway in microglia to reduce neuroinflammation and protect neurons from apoptosis.

Unlabelled: The prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), have emerged as critical global health challenges. Current lipid-lowering pharmacotherapies are associated with side effects, including hepatotoxicity, rhabdomyolysis, and decreased erythrocyte counts, underscoring the urgent need for safer therapeutic alternatives. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α) has been identified as a pivotal regulator of lipid metabolism, making it an attractive target for drug development.
