Alternative splicing of insulin receptor mRNA and gene expression of insulin receptor, IRS-1 and MAP kinase isoforms were examined in skeletal muscle of trained and sedentary rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were trained for 9 weeks on a treadmill: 30 m/min at 6 degrees incline, 90 min/day, 5 days/week. Endurance training increased insulin receptor mRNA level without change in alternative splicing of insulin receptor mRNA in skeletal muscle. The levels of IRS-1 and MAP kinase (ERKI) mRNA were significantly higher in trained rats than sedentary rats. Our findings provide the first evidence that gene expression of insulin receptor and postreceptor signal transduction pathway is enhanced by endurance training, without affecting alternative splicing of insulin receptor isoforms.

Introduction: Several cardiovascular outcome trials have been conducted to assess the cardiovascular safety and efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) on cardiorenal outcomes in patients with type-2 diabetes (T2D). However, the strict requirements of randomised controlled trials to avoid most confounding factors are at the expense of external validity. Using national real-world data, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of GLP-1RAs in association with metformin especially on cardiovascular events, hospitalisation for heart failure and all-cause death in comparison with other diabetes treatment schemes using dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors, sulfonylureas/glinides or insulin also associated with metformin.

Epidemiologic studies have shown a continuous increase in mortality risk associated with overweight, thus highlighting the health risks beginning before the onset of obesity. However, early changes in inflammatory signaling induced by an obesogenic diet remain largely unknown since studies of obesity typically utilize models induced by months of continuous exposure to a high-fat diet. Here, we investigated how short-term overfeeding remodels inflammatory signaling.

Introduction: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy complication featuring hypertension and proteinuria. Metformin exerts clinically preventive effects on PE with an unspecified mechanism.
Methods: Placental tissues from PE patients and normal pregnant (NP) women were collected.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mental disorder with chronic tendencies that seriously affect regular work, life, and study. However, its exact pathogenesis remains unclear. Patients with MDD experience systemic and localized impairments in glucose metabolism throughout the disease course, disrupting various processes such as glucose uptake, glycoprotein transport, glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

Objective: Loss of functional β-cell mass is a major cause of diabetes. Thus, identifying regulators of β-cell health is crucial for treating this disease. The In this study, we assessed the regulation of Lgr4 in islets, and the role of LGR4 and LGR4/RANK stoichiometry in β-cell health under basal and stress-induced conditions, in vitro and in vivo.
