OBJECTIVE: Central administration of ligands for fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) such as fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF19) and FGF21 exert glucose-lowering effects in rodent models of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Conversely, intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of the non-selective...

PMID: 18591993
J Clin Lipidol. 2007 Jul;1(3):203-210. doi: 10.1016/j.jacl.2007.05.003.

BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and diabetes are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Niacin is known to increase insulin resistance, and have adverse effects on blood glucose levels, but to have beneficial effects on plasma lipids...

J Clin Lipidol. 2007 Mar;1(1):88-94. doi: 10.1016/j.jacl.2007.02.004. Epub 2007 Feb 15.

The current guidelines for treatment of high-risk of lipid disorders do not specify a therapeutic target level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) for prevention of vascular disease in high-risk populations. However, there is a substantial body of evidence from...

Inability of mitochondria to generate energy leads to severe and often fatal myoencephalopathies. Among these, Leigh syndrome (LS) is one of the most common childhood mitochondrial diseases; it is characterized by hypotonia, failure to thrive, respiratory insufficiency and progressive...

A Polygenic Lipodystrophy Genetic Risk Score Characterizes Risk Independent of BMI in the Diabetes Prevention Program.

Journal of the Endocrine Society

CONTEXT: There is substantial heterogeneity in insulin sensitivity, and genetics may suggest possible mechanisms by which common variants influence this trait.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate an 11-variant polygenic lipodystrophy genetic risk score (GRS) for association with anthropometric, glycemic and...

Micro-dystrophin AAV Vectors Made by Transient Transfection and Herpesvirus System Are Equally Potent in Treating mdx Mouse Muscle Disease.

Vector production scale-up is a major barrier in systemic adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy. Many scalable manufacturing methods have been developed. However, the potency of the vectors generated by these methods has rarely been compared with vectors made by...

Pathology identifies glomerular treatment targets in diabetic nephropathy.

Kidney research and clinical practice
