Article Abstract

The previous work discovers the potential of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to alleviate obesity-related metabolic diseases, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, AMP is confirmed to enhance white fat decomposition and improve abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism in mice fed with a high-fat (HF) diet. Mechanically, AMP is converted to adenosine (ADO) through ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73), and adenosine A2A receptor (ADORA2A) signaling activation is involved in the down-regulation of methylation in white adipose tissue, thereby reducing the hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) methylation level and promoting HSL transcription and white fat decomposition. Moreover, the metabolic benefits of AMP are found to be partially eliminated in ADORA2A knockout mice, but re-expression of ADORA2A can reproduce the AMP-induced metabolic regulation in white fat. These findings reveal the mechanism that AMP, as the upstream of ADO, stimulates ADORA2A signaling and white fat DNA methylation to participate in the anti-obesity effect.

Severe burns are a major global health concern, and are associated with long-term physical and psychological impairments, multi-organ dysfunction, and substantial morbidity and mortality. While burn injuries in adults trigger systemic immuno-metabolic alterations-characterized by white adipose tissue browning, elevated resting energy expenditure, widespread catabolism, and inflammation-these adaptive responses are considerably impaired in older adults, with molecular mechanisms behind these differences remaining largely unclear. As a key regulator of systemic metabolism, investigating the pathological role of adipose tissue (AT) postburn may reveal novel targets that could potentially improve patient outcomes.

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the narrowing of the space between the SMA and the aorta, resulting in the compression of the third portion of the duodenum. This syndrome has many names, including cast syndrome, arterio-mesenteric duodenal compression syndrome, and Wilkie syndrome. This is attributed to the loss of the intervening mesenteric fat pad, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its nonspecific presentation.

Domiati cheese, one of the most popular soft white cheeses, is particularly susceptible to microbial deterioration due to its high moisture content and low salt concentration. This study assesses the effectiveness of a new edible coating made from carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles loaded with pomegranate peel extract (CCS LP) in increasing the shelf life of Domiati cheese. The study compares CCS LP's performance to pomegranate peel extract (PPE) and carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (CCS NPs) alone.

In this study, we produced instant dark tea (IDT) by liquid-state fermentation of Ziyang selenium-enriched summer-autumn tea leaves utilizing Eurotium cristatum. Then, the novel mechanism of IDT against obesity was investigated. Our results for the first time revealed that IDT could alleviate obesity by regulating the gut microbiota and promoting adipose thermogenesis.

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).
