Article Abstract

Primary aging is the progressive decline in health and fitness and depends on metabolic rate and oxidative stress. Untoward changes in body composition and metabolic function characterize secondary aging. We hypothesize that both exercise and calorie restriction (CR) improve secondary aging, but only CR improves primary. However, CR followed with exercise is a superior strategy to maintain overall health and quality of life with age.

SGLT-2 inhibitors are a relatively new class of antidiabetic drugs. They activate a transcriptional response similar to calorie restriction characterized by the up-regulation of sensors involved in nutrient deprivation, such as SIRT1 and AMPK, and the down-regulation of mTOR, a molecule involved in nutritional excess signaling. The purpose of this review is to illustrate the main pathways of nutrient deprivation: a complex mechanistic framework partly responsible for the cardio-renal benefits that makes these drugs unique.

Background: Multiple non-pharmacological and nonsurgical interventions have demonstrated efficacy in improving abdominal obesity. However, the optimal intervention remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the relative effectiveness and safety of these interventions in reducing waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body mass index (BMI), and body weight among adults with abdominal obesity.

Cancer cells are exposed to diverse metabolites in the tumour microenvironment that are used to support the synthesis of nucleotides, amino acids and lipids needed for rapid cell proliferation. In some tumours, ketone bodies such as β-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB), which are elevated in circulation under fasting conditions or low glycemic diets, can serve as an alternative fuel that is metabolized in the mitochondria to provide acetyl-CoA for the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Here we identify a non-canonical route for β-OHB metabolism that bypasses the TCA cycle to generate cytosolic acetyl-CoA.

Low-protein Calorie-restriction Mitigates Diabetic Mice Kidney Injury via the Gut-Kidney Axis.

Int J Vitam Nutr Res

August 2025

Department of Endocrinology, Affiliated Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, 210028 Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.

Background: Dietary interventions have exhibited promise in restoring microbial balance in chronic kidney disease. A low-protein calorie-restricted diet can reduce kidney injury in diabetic rodents. However, whether the renoprotective effects of this dietary intervention in murine diabetic kidney disease models are linked to gut microbiota modulation remains to be determined.
