Article Abstract

White adipose tissue (WAT) is important as an energy reservoir in mammals, but the precise mechanism by which energy storage in WAT is controlled remains unclear. It is well known that representative anabolic hormone insulin efficiently stores triglyceride in adipocytes. We showed that insulin inhibited beta-agonist-induced lipolysis at least in part by inhibiting phosphorylation of perilipin and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Furthermore, insulin inhibited beta-agonist-induced increase of PGC-1alpha expression, which is important for mitochondrial biogenesis and energy expenditure. These results suggest the possibility that insulin efficiently stores triglyceride in adipocytes by decreasing lipolysis and repressing energy expenditure.

Inonotus obliquus is a medicinal fungus that has been valued for its anti-diabetic properties in China for thousands of years. Inotodiol is a characteristic triterpenoid isolated from Inonotus obliquus. The inactivation effect and mechanism of α-glucosidase induced by inotodiol were investigated using fluorescence, FTIR, CD spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics simulation, and the glycemic regulation of inotodiol was studied on insulin-resistant HepG2 cells.

Clinical trials often face recruitment challenges. From the participant's perspective, barriers such as time commitment, travel to sites, and logistical burden, like arranging care duties or time off work, can deter enrolment. Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) aim to address these by shifting activities closer to participants' homes and using online methods for recruitment and consent.

Sexual maturity significantly impacts poultry production efficiency, yet data on testicular development and regulatory mechanisms in indigenous breeds remain limited. In this study, we examined Xianghuang chickens, a indigenous early-maturing breed, to investigate the hypothalamus-pituitary-testis (HPT) axis. Hypothalamus, pituitary, and testis tissues were collected at 80 and 120 days post-hatch (dph) for analysis.

The objective was to prepare a mucoadhesive buccal film containing amphiphilic dendrimer micelles nanoparticles (APD micelles NPs) loaded with insulin. The APD micelles NPs were synthesized by a series of chemical reactions followed by self-assembly. Insulin loading was done by mixing insulin with APD micelles solution.

The Oral Minimal Model (OMM) analysis offers unique measures of glucose-insulin regulation during glucose challenges. However, its manual test-by-test implementation limits scalability in large studies. We introduce the Automated Oral Minimal Model (AOMM), a tool that streamlines and automates the entire OMM workflow while preserving analytical fidelity, enabling efficient batch processing of large datasets.
