Unlabelled: This study compared denosumab and zoledronic acid for treating osteoporosis in drug-naïve postmenopausal Korean women. Over 3 years, both drugs significantly increased bone mineral density. However, denosumab also improved fat-free mass, suggesting it may be a better initial treatment for osteoporosis with low muscle mass, assuming all other conditions remain constant.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a chronic condition encompassing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver (MASL) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), which can progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The heterogeneous and complex nature of MASLD complicates optimal drug development. Ebastine, an antihistamine, exhibits antitumor activity in various types of cancer.

Background And Aim: Creeping fat (CF) in Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by hyperplastic mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT) encasing fibrotic intestinal segments. CF exhibits disruptions in microbiota and lipid metabolism, particularly in lysophospholipids (LPC). This study aims to elucidate the impact of LPC on adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in CF and its effects on immune defense functions in the differentiated adipocytes.

Global health is increasingly challenged by the growing prevalence of obesity and its associated complications. Quercetin, one of the most important dietary flavonoids, is being explored as an effective therapy for obesity with its mechanism remains understudied. Here in this study, it is demonstrated that quercetin intervention significantly reverses obesity-related phenotypes through reshaping the overall structure of microbiota, especially boosting colonization of the beneficial gut commensal Akkermansia muciniphila (A.

Aim: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic syndrome characterised by absolute or relative insufficiency of insulin secretion. The alkaloids from Rhizoma coptidis have potential hypoglycemic effects. Epiberberine (EPI), a protoberberine alkaloid extracted from Rhizome coptidis, has been found to regulate lipid metabolism.
