Article Abstract

Sprague-Dawley rats ( = 32) underwent 8-weeks of creatine monohydrate (CM) supplementation (0, 2.5, 5, and 10 g/L). Total creatine (TCr) concentrations in female white fibre-dominant gastrocnemius (WGAS) and cardiac muscle (HRT) were significantly higher compared with males ( < 0.05). CM supplementation increased TCr concentrations in female WGAS ( < 0.05) and HRT ( < 0.01) and in male red fibre-dominant gastrocnemius muscle (RGAS) ( < 0.05). Future research should further investigate sex-differences in basal levels of TCr and the response to CM supplementation. There is a sex- and tissue-dependant response to CM supplementation in rats.

Obesity and related diseases pose a major health risk, yet current anti-obesity drugs inadequately addressing clinical needs. Here we show AA005, an annonaceous acetogenin mimic, resists obesity induced by high-fat diets and leptin mutations at non-toxic doses, with the alpha subunit of the mitochondrial trifunctional protein (HADHA) as a target identified through proteomics and in vitro validation. Pharmacokinetic analysis shows AA005 enriches in adipose tissue, prompting the creation of adipose-specific Hadha-deficient mice.

Article Synopsis
  • Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a challenging health issue for women, with no effective treatments currently available.
  • The study focuses on AA005, a compound that shows strong cytotoxic properties against TNBC cells, effectively inhibiting their growth at low concentrations.
  • AA005 disrupts the cell's energy production by affecting mitochondrial function and glucose uptake, leading to irreversible damage and cell death, while also proving effective in animal models for potential future use in TNBC therapy.

Background: Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is essential for the growth of gastric cancer (GC), but mTOR inhibitor everolimus was not effective for the treatment of GCs. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) researchers reported that most diffuse-type GCs were genomically stable (GS). Pathological analysis suggested that some diffuse-type GCs developed from intestinal-type GCs.

Annonaceous acetogenins are a well-established family of natural products with significant bioactivities, especially high cytotoxic and antitumor activities. AA005 is an annonaceous acetogenin mimic that has shown significant cytotoxicity against a variety of cancer cell lines, but its in vivo antitumor effects have not been demonstrated so far, and its anticancer mechanisms remain ambiguous. In this study, we investigated the effects of AA005 on human colon cancer cell lines in vivo.

Background: Annonaceous acetogenins are a family of natural products with antitumor activities. Annonaceous acetogenin mimic AA005 reportedly inhibits mammalian mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone reductase (Complex I) and induces gastric cancer cell death. However, the mechanisms underlying its cell-death-inducing activity are unclear.
