Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) 1 is one of four isozymes that inhibit the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA via pyruvate dehydrogenase. PDK activity is elevated in fasting or starvation conditions to conserve carbohydrate reserves. PDK has also been shown to increase mitochondrial fatty acid utilization.

Soil salinization has emerged as a major factor negatively affecting soil quality and plant productivity. Proline, functioning as an osmotic regulator, has been proposed as an effective strategy for enhancing plant tolerance to salt stress. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exogenous proline on salt tolerance in soybeans.

Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is a progressive disease, wherein males more often develop valve calcification relative to females that develop valve fibrosis. Valvular interstitial cells (VICs) aberrantly activate to myofibroblasts during AVS, driving the fibrotic valve phenotype in females. Myofibroblasts further differentiate into osteoblast-like cells and produce calcium nanoparticles, driving valve calcification in males.

Acute lung injury characterized by overactive pulmonary inflammation is a common and serious complication of sepsis. Esomeprazole (ESO), a potent proton pump inhibitor (PPI), has been demonstrated as a promising anti-inflammatory agent in treating sepsis at high concentrations, the efficacy of which in sepsis-induced lung injury has not been explored. This research aimed to investigate the role of ESO in septic lung injury and the potential mechanism.
