Sugar-based therapy for diabetes (TIIDM): D-Fagomine, an iminosugar isolated from mulberry leaves, among others, increases GLP1R and Caveolin-1 (CAV-1) expression, promotes glucose-induced insulin secretion, improves insulin sensitivity, increases energy utilization, promotes weight loss and protects from diet-induced obesity and TIIDM, via up regulation of its target gene, 24/March/2018, 12.55 am

A sweet way to decrease blood pressure/sugar and extend lifespan: Sugar-based Lifespan extension therapy: Lactulose (brand name: Cholac, Generlac, Consulose, Duphalac) , a non-absorbable sugar that aids in the treatment of constipation and hepatic encephalopathy, prolongs mammalian life span, via down regulation of angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R), 24/March/2018, 12.41 am

Significance of the study: It has been shown earlier that antagonizing angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R) expression may prolong mammalian life span. Further, it has been shown […]

NAFLD

Molecular therapy for Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): Melatonin promotes degradation of HMGCR, decreases the levels of triglycerides, free cholesterol, and total cholesterol and prevents the progression of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD via down regulation of its target gene, 24/March/2018, 12.32 am

Significance of the study: Given that: (1) 15-30% of Western populations suffer from Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), while 6-25% of Asian populations suffer from it; (2) 75 to […]

A sweet way to decrease blood pressure/sugar and extend lifespan: Sugar-based Lifespan extension therapy: Xylitol, a sugar alcohol and artificial sweetener found in drugs, confections, toothpaste, and chewing gum, prolongs mammalian life span, via down regulation of angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R), 23/March/2018, 12.25 am

Significance of the study: It has been shown earlier that antagonizing angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R) expression may prolong mammalian life span. Further, it has been shown […]
