Background: Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) and its constituents (SO, NO, NH, OM, BC) is strongly linked to the incidence of diabetes. This study aimed to assess the health benefits of improved air quality on the incidence risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: Data from 19,884 participants in the Jinchang Cohort were analyzed. The concentration levels of PM and its constituents were obtained from the China Air Pollution Tracking (TAP) dataset. The effects of reduced pollutant concentrations on the risk of T2DM and glucose and lipid indicators were assessed via Cox proportional hazards models and generalized linear models (GLMs). Exposure‒response relationships were plotted, with subgroup analyses by sex and age. The combined effects of multiple pollutants were also evaluated.
Results: A decrease in the concentration of mixed pollutants was significantly associated with a reduced risk of T2DM (HR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.52,0.62), as well as significantly lower levels of fasting plasma glucose variation (ΔFPG; β = -0.62, 95% CI: -0.79, -0.45), total cholesterol variation (ΔTC; β = -0.62, 95% CI: -0.98, -0.26), triglyceride variation (ΔTG; β = -5.08, 95% CI: -6.76, -3.40), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol variation (ΔLDL-C; β = -3.99, 95% CI: -4.42, -3.55). In comparison, similar inverse associations were also observed in single-pollutant models. The effects appeared to be slightly stronger among females and older adults than among males and younger individuals.
Conclusion: Reductions in the concentrations of PM and its constituents were significantly associated with a lower risk of T2DM and improvements in glucose and lipid metabolism, particularly for decreases in mixed pollutant concentrations. Subgroup analyses suggested that women and older adults may be the primary beneficiaries of improved air qualities.

It is helpful for diagnostic purposes to improve our current knowledge of gut development and serum biochemistry in young piglets. This study investigated serum biochemistry, and gut site-specific patterns of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and expression of genes related to barrier function, innate immune response, antioxidative status and sensing of fatty and bile acids in suckling and newly weaned piglets. The experiment consisted of two replicate batches with 10 litters each.

Metabolic associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a severe form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) characterized by hepatocellular injury, inflammation, and fibrosis. Despite advances in understanding its pathophysiology, the molecular mechanisms driving MASH progression remain unclear. This study investigates the role of long non-coding RNA Linc01271 in MASLD/MASH pathogenesis, ant its involvement in the miR-149-3p/RAB35 axis and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Purpose: Evidence on the association between visceral obesity and diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains sparse and debatable. We aimed to use three novel indicators, body roundness index (BRI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and visceral adiposity index (VAI), to investigate the longitudinal relationship between visceral obesity and DR, and explore the potential metabolic mechanisms.
Methods: In this prospective study based on the UK Biobank (UKB), 14,738 individuals with diabetes free of DR at baseline were included.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and associated with severe complications, including cardiovascular diseases, neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy. Although synthetic antidiabetic drugs are available, the side effects and limited long-term effectiveness of these medications highlight the urgent need for safer, more potent alternative therapies.

Introduction: Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT), cell death, and fibrosis are increasingly recognized as contributing factors to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, but the underlying transcriptomic mechanisms remain poorly defined. This study aims to elucidate transcriptomic changes associated with EndoMT, diverse cell death pathways, and fibrosis in AD using the 3xTg-AD mouse model.
Methods: Using RNA-seq data and knowledge-based transcriptomic analysis on brain tissues from the 3xTg-AD mouse model of AD.
