NAFLD

Amino acid-based therapy for Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): D-Serine 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, 10/December/2017, 6.07 am

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

Amino acid-based therapy for body weight control, energy homeostasis and TIIDM: D-Serine increases CADM1 and its downstream target genes that promote 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, 10/December/2017, 6.01 am

Introduction: What they say A study from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine, Berlin, Germany shows that “Regulation of body weight and energy homeostasis by neuronal cell […]

Natural product-derived therapy for improving cardiac contractility and attenuating pathogenesis associated with Myocardial infarction: β-Cryptoxanthin, Mangiferin and Glycyrrhetinic acid(CMG) decreases GRK2 (G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 2) and GM-CSF (Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) expression, increases cardiac contractility, inhibits undue leucocyte activation and invasion, suppresses recruitment of inflammatory cells, inhibits left ventricular rupture, promotes heart healing and inhibits glucose intolerance, via up regulation of its target gene, 9/December/2017, 12.20 pm

Introduction: What they say: A recent study, from Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, Dept of Cell Biology, and Department of Molecular Genetics, Duke University Medical […]
