As part of our program on synthesis of labeled vitamin D metabolites and analogs, we describe here an efficient and versatile synthetic approach to 28,28,28-trideutero- 25-hydroxydihydrotachysterol where isotopic labeling was incorporated stereoselectively in the last step of the synthesis. This deuterated compound will allow the study this analog in vitro or in vivo and to measure AT10-like compounds in serum by LC-MS/MS.

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) poses significant challenges in reproductive health, with emerging evidence implicating DNA damage repair pathways. While GADD45A is a critical regulator of DNA repair, cell cycle and apoptosis, its role in DOR pathogenesis remains unexplored. We employed transcriptome sequencing, qPCR and Western Blot analyses to compare GADD45A expression in granulosa cells (GCs) between DOR patients and controls.

Background: Several clinical studies have demonstrated that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection may exacerbate the progression of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD); however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the characterization of the gastric microbiome and metabolome in relation to the progression of MASLD induced by Hp infection.
Methods: We established a high-fat diet (HFD) obese mouse model, both with and without Hp infection, to compare alterations in serum and liver metabolic phenotypes.

Citrobacter freundii, a common zoonotic pathogen affecting humans, livestock and fish, is recognized for its substantial impact on largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) mortality. However, the mechanisms of C. freundii infection in largemouth bass remain poorly understood.

Objective: SURMOUNT-MAINTAIN aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of reducing the tirzepatide dose and/or continuing the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) versus placebo in maintaining body weight (BW) reduction achieved with tirzepatide MTD.
Methods: This Phase 3b, multicenter, randomized, parallel-arm, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, 52-week clinical trial is in progress comparing treatment with once weekly tirzepatide (5 mg and/or MTD of 15 mg or 10 mg) versus placebo in achieving BW reduction maintenance from the initial 60-week open-label weight-loss period on tirzepatide MTD, in adults with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m or ≥ 27 kg/m with ≥ 1 obesity-related comorbidity, excluding type 2 diabetes). The primary endpoint is percent maintenance of BW reduction achieved during the weight-loss period at Week 112 among those who reached a BW plateau (i.

Here, using whole-exome sequencing of a cohort of 17 Japanese patients with 46,XY disorders or differences of sex development, we identified two pathogenic DEAH-box helicase 37 (DHX37) variants in three patients. We also identified a patient with a likely pathogenic variant in SOX9 and a rare likely benign variant in DHX37. This Data Report highlights the genetic and phenotypic diversity of DXH37 variants.
