Ribonucleic acid-based therapy for TIIDM and obesity-associated metabolic deficits: LncRNA TUG1 increases Lipocalin 2 (LCN2) expression, activates an MC4R-dependent anorexigenic pathway, suppresses appetite and weight gain, increases insulin secretion, improves glucose tolerance, promotes glucose homeostasis, improves obesity-associated metabolic deficits and prevents progression to TIIDM, via down-regulation of its target gene, 8/January/2019, 10.43 pm
Introduction: What they say A study from the Department of Physiology-Cellular Biophysics, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, New York, USA shows that “MC4R-dependent suppression of appetite by bone-derived lipocalin 2.” This research paper was published, in the 8 March 2017 issue of the journal “Nature” [One of the best research journals in General Science with an I.F […]
Hot water immersion therapy for body weight control, energy homeostasis, and TIIDM: Hot water immersion therapy (39°C for 1 h ) increases REV-ERB and its downstream target genes, inhibits lipid accumulation, improves dyslipidemia and insulin sensitivity, increases energy utilization, promotes weight loss and protects from diet-induced obesity and TIIDM, via up-regulation of its target gene, 20/November/2018, 11.55 pm
Introduction: What they say A study from the Department of Molecular Therapeutics, The Scripps Research Institute, Jupiter, Florida 33458, USA shows that “Regulation of circadian behaviour and metabolism by synthetic REV-ERB agonists.” This research paper was published, in the 29 March 2012 issue of the journal “Nature” [One of the best research journals in Science […]
Lighting your way to lower cholesterol, and triglycerides levels: Intense blue light exposure decreases the levels of HMGCR, triglycerides, free cholesterol, and total cholesterol and prevents the progression of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), via up-regulation of its target gene, 16/November/2018, 11.48 pm
The 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 100 million people in the US succumb to this disease; (3) obesity and type 2 diabetes are risk factor for the development of NAFLD; and (4) the global economic […]
Reproductive hormone aids in control of body weight, energy homeostasis and TIIDM: Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), normally used as a marker for pregnancy, decreases CADM1 and its downstream target genes that inhibit 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, 4/August/2017, 12.30 pm
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 adhesion molecule1.” This research paper was published, in the June 2017 issue of the journal “Nature Neuroscience” [One of the best research journals in Neuroscience with an […]
Hydrogen-rich saline based therapy for body weight control, energy homeostasis and TIIDM: Hydrogen-rich saline increases REV-ERB and its down stream target genes, inhibits lipid accumulation, improves dyslipidemia and insulin sensitivity, increases energy utilization, promotes weight loss and protects from diet-induced obesity and TIIDM, via up regulation of its target gene, 10/May/2017, 6.00 am
Introduction: What they say A study from the Department of Molecular Therapeutics, The Scripps Research Institute, Jupiter, Florida 33458, USA shows that “Regulation of circadian behaviour and metabolism by synthetic REV-ERB agonists.” This research paper was published, in the 29 March 2012 issue of the journal “Nature” [One of the best research journals in Science […]
A sweetest way to control body weight, energy homeostasis and TIIDM: Phyllodulcin, a natural sweetener 400-800 times sweeter than sugar, increases REV-ERB and its down stream target genes, inhibits lipid accumulation, improves dyslipidemia and insulin sensitivity, increases energy utilization, promotes weight loss and protects from diet-induced obesity and TIIDM, via up regulation of its target gene, 15/March/2017,12.10 am
