Article Abstract

Functional hyper-connectivity in hippocampus has been recently observed in patients with an early stage of type 2 diabetes, however, the structural connectivity between hippocampus and other regions of the brain and its effects on neuropsychological performance are still unknown. Participants (82 patients with type 2 diabetes and without peripheral microvascular complications; 75 healthy controls) underwent detailed cognitive assessment and diffusion MRI. Probabilistic tractography based on a multifiber model was performed to investigate the fiber connections between hippocampus and other regions of the brain. The differences in hippocampal connectivity between groups were compared with age, sex, body mass index and education as covariates. The association between hippocampal connectivity and cognitive performances in patients with diabetes were further investigated. Patients had lower Stroop Accuracy and longer Stroop Reaction Time compared with age-, sex-, education-matched controls. Although lower hippocampal connectivities to widespread brain regions were observed in diabetic group, there were no statistical differences after FDR adjustment. Moreover, the strength of fiber connections was not associated with any cognitive performance in patients with diabetes. Taken together, worse executive function was observed in patients with an early stage of type 2 diabetes. However, it might not be related to hippocampal fiber connectivity. These findings suggested that structural connectivity in hippocampus was not an early predictor for diabetes-associated cognitive decrements.

Aging is characterized by a gradual decline in the functionality of all the organs and tissues, leading to various diseases. As the global population ages, the urgency to develop effective anti-aging strategies becomes increasingly critical due to the growing severity of associated health problems. Immunotherapy offers novel and promising approaches to combat aging by utilizing approaches including vaccines, antibodies, and cytokines to target specific aging-related molecules and pathways.

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the effects of daily consumption of white potatoes compared with white rice on cardiometabolic health in individuals with type-2 diabetes (T2D).

Objective: To determine the effects of white potato consumption compared to white rice (a commonly consumed refined grain) on indices of glycemic control and cardiovascular health in individuals with overweight or obesity and T2D.

Methods: In this randomized crossover study, comparative control trial, 24 adults with T2D [45-80 y, body mass index (kg/m) 25-40] consumed baked white potatoes (100 g) or calorie-matched white rice (75 g) daily for 12 wk, separated by a 2-wk washout, with assessments of glycemic control, lipids, inflammation, blood pressure, endothelial function, and body composition at baseline (only 1 baseline visit included as a covariate in statistical analyses), 6 wk, and 12 wk.

Insulin therapy remains a cornerstone in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially in patients experiencing progressive loss of pancreatic beta-cell function or those with inadequate glycemic control despite oral antidiabetic therapy. This review synthesized clinical outcomes from 44 peer-reviewed case reports published between 2019 and 2024, identified through systematic searches in PubMed and Scopus. The included cases involved 15 males and 29 females, with patient ages ranging from 11 to 91 years (mean 53 ± 20.

Background: The methylation of and its influence on protein stability and degradation could play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), although the underlying molecular mechanisms are not yet fully understood. This study investigates the molecular and bioinformatic features of methylation in T2DM.

Methods: Bioinformatics analyses were conducted on the T2DM database chip.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a type of diabetes mellitus occurring in pregnant women, increases the risk of birth trauma. Solute carrier family 2 member 4 (SLC2A4) polymorphism is notably associated with GDM susceptibility; however, the mechanism is unknown. In the present study, HTR-8/SVneo cells were treated with high glucose concentrations and transfected with SLC2A4 and Forkhead box O (FoxO)1 to investigate their roles in the insulin (INS) resistance of GDM trophoblast cells.
