Inorganic nitrate (NO) has been proposed to be of therapeutic use as a dietary supplement in obesity and related conditions including the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), type-II diabetes and metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Administration of NO to endothelial nitric oxide synthase-deficient mice reversed aspects of MetS, however the impact of NO supplementation in diet-induced obesity is not well understood. Here we investigated the whole-body metabolic phenotype and cardiac and hepatic metabolism in mice fed a high-fat high-sucrose (HFHS) diet for up to 12-months of age, supplemented with 1 mM NaNO (or NaCl) in their drinking water.

Unlabelled: OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare two routes of administration and different dosages of streptozotocin (STZ) for the pharmacological induction of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant CD1 females. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 35 female CD1 mice were divided into 5 groups (n = 7). Diabetes mellitus (DM) was induced with STZ by two routes and two doses: 1) Control Group without administration of STZ (CL), 2) Intraperitoneal Group with 200 mg of STZ/Kg of weight (IP200), 3) Intraperitoneal Group with 230 mg of STZ/Kg of weight (IP230), 4) Subcutaneous Group with 200 mg of STZ/Kg of weight (SC200) and 5) Subcutaneous Group with 230 mg of STZ/Kg of weight (SC230).

Aim: We planned this study to identify diabetogenic glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) peptides possibly responsible for human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DR3/DQ2-mediated activation of GAD65-specific CD4 T cells in type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: Top 30 GAD65 peptides, found to strongly bind in silico with HLA-DR3/DQ2 molecules, were selected and grouped into four pools. The peptides were used to stimulate CD4 T cells of study subjects in 16-h peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture.

Introduction: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are commercially used flame retardants that bioaccumulate in human tissues, including breast milk. PBDEs produce endocrine and metabolic disruption in experimental animals and have been associated with diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in humans, however, their sex-specific diabetogenic effects are not completely understood. Our past works show glucolipid dysregulation resulting from perinatal exposure to the commercial penta-mixture of PBDEs, DE-71, in C57BL/6 female mice.

Aims: To update the evidence about the diabetogenic effect of statins.
Methods: We searched for randomized-controlled trials reporting the effects of statin therapy on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and/or homeostatic model insulin resistance (i.e.
