Decompensated cirrhosis is characterized by systemic inflammation and innate and adaptive immune dysfunction. Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a prevalent and debilitating condition characterized by cognitive disturbances in which ammonia and inflammation play a synergistic pathogenic role. Extraskeletal functions of vitamin D include immunomodulation, and its deficiency has been implicated in immune dysfunction and different forms of cognitive impairment.

Melatonin is involved in various functions such as the timing of circadian rhythms, energy metabolism, and body mass gain in experimental animals. However, its effects on adipose tissue lipid metabolism are still unclear. This study analyzes the effects of melatonin on the relative gene expression of lipolytic proteins in rat mesenteric adipose tissue and free fatty acid (FFA) and glycerol plasma levels of male Wistar rats fed a high-fat (HFD) or maintenance diet.

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a 2 to 3 times higher risk of cardiovascular disease compared to non-diabetic individuals, and cardiovascular disease has consistently been a leading cause of death among diabetic patients. Therefore, preventing cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients remains a significant challenge. In addition to classic indicators such as cholesterol and lipoproteins, previous studies have demonstrated that plasma level of free fatty acid (FFA) is closely related to the occurrence of atherosclerosis, particularly in T2DM patients.

BACKGROUNDSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors slow down progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We tested whether the circulating substrate mix is related to CKD progression and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and albuminuric CKD in the CREDENCE trial.METHODSWe measured fasting substrates in 2,543 plasma samples at baseline and 1 year after randomization to either 100 mg canagliflozin or placebo and used multivariate Cox models to explore their association with CKD progression, heart failure hospitalization/cardiovascular death (hHF/CVD), and mortality.

Objective: Increased plasma-free fatty acid (FFA) induced by obesity can trigger insulin resistance and it is a significantly dangerous constituent in the progression of diabetes. Although ferulic acid has various physiological functions, no studies have examined ferulic acid's effects on insulin-resistant muscle cells. This study investigated the effect of ferulic acid on improving palmitic acid-induced insulin resistance in L6 skeletal muscle cells.
