Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, leading to absolute insulin deficiency and the need for exogenous insulin. A significant concern in T1D management is hypoglycemia, which is worsened by impaired counterregulatory mechanisms. Effective counterregulation involves hormones such as glucagon and adrenaline, which work to restore normal blood glucose levels.

Upper thermal tolerance may be limited by convective oxygen transport in fish, but the mechanisms constraining heart function remain elusive. The activation of anaerobic metabolism imposes an osmotic stress on cardiomyocytes at high temperatures that must be countered to prevent swelling and cardiac dysfunction. We tested the hypothesis that cardiac taurine efflux is required to counter the osmotic impact of anaerobic end product accumulation in brook char, Salvelinus fontinalis.

Food Allergy in Children in China.

Clin Exp Allergy

December 2024

Department of Paediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Wales Hospital, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China.

The prevalence of food allergies in China seems to be increasing, but there are limited studies describing the pattern of food allergies across the country. This review highlights regional variations observed across China, with data indicating a higher prevalence in the more economically developed eastern and southern coastal regions compared to inland areas. Egg and milk are the most common allergies among children under 3 years old; for children above 3 years old, specific food allergens also show regional differences, with shellfish allergies being more common in southern and eastern coastal areas, while wheat and fruit allergies are more prevalent in northern regions.

Adrenal epinephrine facilitates erythropoietin gene activation by hypoxia through β2 adrenergic receptor interaction with Hif-2α.

Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol

January 2025

Institute for Integrative Physiology and Center for Systems Biology of O2 Sensing, Biological Sciences Division, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, United States.

Hypobaric hypoxia (HH) occurring at high altitudes activates the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and increases circulating erythropoietin (EPO) levels. EPO stimulates red blood cell production (erythropoiesis), enhancing oxygen transport in arterial blood to counteract hypoxemia. The present study tested the hypothesis that SNS contributes to EPO activation by HH through epinephrine (EPI) release from the adrenal medullae.

Article Synopsis
  • - Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) increases during exercise and is linked to higher levels of corticosterone and fat utilization, but its exact role during recovery from exercise remains unclear.
  • - This study investigated how postexercise nutrient availability affects GDF15 levels and examined its relationship with corticosterone and various metabolic indicators in mice.
  • - Findings showed that while GDF15, corticosterone, and certain fatty acids increased immediately after exercise, the relationships observed were not causal, as similar responses were seen in both normal and GDF15-deficient mice.
