AgRP/NPY and POMC neurons in the arcuate nucleus and their potential role in treatment of obesity

Muhammad Sufyan Vohra et al.

Summary: Obesity is a major health crisis worldwide, regulated by specific neuronal populations in the brain's ARC region. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms in ARC neurons is crucial for managing obesity and maintaining weight loss effectively. Targeting specific ARC circuits may offer a promising strategy for treating obesity with minimal or no side effects.

Metabolic and Epigenetic Regulation by Estrogen in Adipocytes

Jan-Inge Bjune et al.

Summary: Sex hormones play an important role in the differences between males and females in terms of body fat distribution and associated disease risk. Estrogen, in particular, is associated with more fat storage on hips and thighs rather than in visceral depots. It exerts its effects on adipocytes through estrogen receptors, protecting against adipose inflammation and fibrosis. The exact mechanisms of estrogen-dependent body fat distribution are not fully understood but involve signaling pathways, autophagy suppression, and epigenetic regulation. More research is needed to understand the specific effects of estrogen on different adipocyte subtypes and its role in sexual dimorphisms and obesity-related disease risk.

Effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for treating functional constipation: An overview of systematic reviews

Jun-peng Yao et al.

Summary: This overview evaluated and summarized clinical evidence on the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for treating functional constipation (FC). The results suggest that acupuncture may be more effective than sham acupuncture and anti-constipation drugs in improving bowel movements and quality of life. However, the current studies have limitations and inconsistent evidence, calling for more rigorous and methodologically sound systematic reviews to draw definitive conclusions.

Perfect match: mTOR inhibitors and tuberous sclerosis complex

Cong Luo et al.

Summary: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic syndrome with diverse clinical features and organ dysfunction. The hyperactivation of the mTOR pathway is associated with most clinical manifestations in TSC. Although mTOR inhibitors show potential in TSC treatment, adverse events and poor response in some patients remain challenges. Thus, indicators are needed to predict the efficacy of mTOR inhibitors.

Developmental programming of hypothalamic melanocortin circuits

Sebastien G. Bouret

Summary: The melanocortin system in the brain regulates feeding behavior, energy balance, and body weight. Investigating its development is helping researchers understand and explore treatments for chronic diseases, including obesity and type-2 diabetes. Disruption of the melanocortin system's development may lead to metabolic consequences later in life.

Korean red ginseng decreases 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium-induced mitophagy in SH-SY5Y cells

Hyongjun Jeon et al.

Summary: The study shows that Korean red ginseng effectively prevents MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cell death by regulating cytochrome c release from mitochondria and PINK1/parkin-mediated mitophagy, through the regulation of the Bcl-2 family.

Effective-compound combination inhibits the M2-like polarization of macrophages and attenuates the development of pulmonary fibrosis by increasing autophagy through mTOR signaling

Peng Zhao et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the effective-compound combination ECC can ameliorate pulmonary fibrosis by promoting autophagy and suppressing the mTOR signaling pathway to inhibit M2 polarization of macrophages, thus reducing the expression of fibrotic mediators.
