Article Abstract
The lysosome integrates anabolic signalling and nutrient-sensing to regulate intracellular growth pathways. The leucine-rich repeat containing 8 (LRRC8) channel complex forms a lysosomal anion channel and regulates PI3K-AKT-mTOR signalling, skeletal muscle differentiation, growth, and systemic glucose metabolism. Here, we define the endogenous LRRC8 subunits localized to a subset of lysosomes in differentiated myotubes. We show LRRC8A regulates leucine-stimulated mTOR, lysosome size, number, pH, and expression of lysosomal proteins LAMP2, P62, LC3B, suggesting impaired autophagic flux. Mutating a LRRC8A lysosomal targeting dileucine motif sequence (LRRC8A-L706A;L707A) in myotubes recapitulates the abnormal AKT signalling and altered lysosomal morphology and pH observed in LRRC8A KO cells. , LRRC8A-L706A;L707A KI mice exhibit increased adiposity, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance characterized by reduced skeletal muscle glucose-uptake, and impaired incorporation of glucose into glycogen. These data reveal a lysosomal LRRC8 mediated metabolic signalling function that regulates lysosomal activity, systemic glucose homeostasis and insulin-sensitivity.

Study of Thyroid Function Tests and Inflammatory Markers (White Blood Cell Count and High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein) in Prediabetic Patients at Tertiary Care Center.

Background: Prediabetes represents a transitional state in glucose metabolism with an increasing global and national prevalence, particularly in India. Recent evidence suggests that both thyroid dysfunction and chronic low-grade inflammation may play pivotal roles in the progression of prediabetes to overt Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Thyroid hormones regulate glucose metabolism, while inflammatory markers such as white blood cell (WBC) count and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) are indicators of systemic inflammation often elevated in metabolic disorders.

Background: Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of tooth-supporting tissues, shows significant associations with systemic conditions like type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. These metabolic disorders share chronic inflammatory pathways that may influence periodontal disease severity. This study investigated these relationships using advanced quantifiable metrics - periodontal epithelial surface area (PESA) and periodontal inflammatory surface area (PISA).

The pancreatic islets of Langerhans, which are composed of α, β, δ, ε, and PP cells, orchestrate systemic glucose homeostasis through tightly regulated hormone secretion. Although the precise mechanisms involving β cells in the onset and progression of diabetes have been elucidated and insulin replacement therapy remains the primary treatment modality, the regulatory processes, functions, and specific roles of other pancreatic islet hormones in diabetes continue to be the subject of ongoing investigation. At present, a comprehensive review of the secretion and regulation of pancreatic islet cell hormones as well as the related mechanisms of diabetes is lacking.

Objective: Large hemispheric infarction (LHI) represents one of the most severe subtypes of ischemic stroke, associated with high rates of disability and mortality. This study aimed to examine the association between the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and LHI, identify independent risk factors, and develop a predictive model for clinical application.
Methods: A total of 152 patients diagnosed with LHI and admitted to Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital between June 2020 and June 2023 were retrospectively selected based on defined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Clinical, Immunological, and Vesicular Markers in Sarcopenia and Presarcopenia.

Division of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Siberian State Medical University, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, 634050 Tomsk, Russia.
Background: Sarcopenia is a complex, multifactorial condition characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass, strength, and function. Despite growing awareness, the early diagnosis and pathophysiological characterization of this condition remain challenging due to the lack of integrative biomarkers.
Objective: This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive multilevel profiling of clinical parameters, immune cell phenotypes, extracellular vesicle (EV) signatures, and biochemical markers to elucidate biological gradients associated with different stages of sarcopenia.
